Li Qinzai had many identities. He was a county prince, a highly valued minister of Li Zhi, a son, a husband and a father, but he also had another important identity, that is, a teacher.
In Li Qinzai's eyes, all the titles and official positions in the world are actually just the icing on the cake. Sometimes titles and official positions will bring troubles to his life.
The work in my previous life was so tiring, and I originally planned to lie down completely in this life, but humans are social animals after all, how can they truly lie down and not care about worldly affairs?
Those so-called hermits who live in seclusion in the mountains and forests may have to go to the market every morning with their vegetable baskets to buy vegetables, argue with the vendors, and even viciously throw away a handful of green onions after buying.
If a person must have a profession in this world, Li Qinzai has no objection to the profession of teacher.
There is not so much intrigue in the school. Although the little bastards are a little stupid, they are still very cute occasionally. And Li Qinzai is the only king in the school. He does not need to forcefully smile at anyone to please him.
This may be the only profession that Li Qinzai does not dislike and does not feel tired.
Therefore, Li Qinzai was very happy to be able to do something for his students. A genius like Princess Xuancheng suddenly appeared among his disciples. Li Qinzai actually wanted to know how big her future achievements would be and how far she could go. .
What the monarch and his ministers should say has been said, and Li Qinzai didn't ask a word about what shouldn't be said.
For example, how Li Zhi would deal with Li Youdao and the Zhaojun Li family, Li Qinzai didn't want to ask, he knew that Li Youdao would not survive, and Li Zhi was determined to use him to scare other aristocratic families.
As for the Li family of Zhao County, it was unrealistic for Li Zhi to bring down the entire family. The family could be brought down so easily, so why did Li Zhi spend his whole life to weaken it?
It doesn't matter, the days are long, and as long as Li Zhi is still alive, the monarch and his ministers will always have the opportunity to suppress the family.
After bidding farewell to Li Zhi, Li Qinzai returned to the Duke's Mansion directly after leaving the palace.
After entering, I returned to my yard and found a person standing quietly in the yard.
Li Qinzai narrowed his eyes and then laughed: "Tang Ji, when did you come back?"
Tang Ji saluted him with clasped fists: "I won't be back until noon."
Li Qinzai stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. When his hand was about to fall on his shoulder, Tang Ji suddenly subconsciously sank his shoulders, and then realized that the person in front of him was the leader and the financial sponsor.
Tang Ji hurriedly recovered his posture, and even quietly stood up with one foot to raise his shoulders slightly, trying to make Li Qinzai feel more comfortable while filming.
His skillful and well-behaved appearance is heart-wrenching.
Li Qinzai's eyes heated up, as if he had seen himself in his previous life. How could he be such a master? He was clearly just a social beast.
Putting his hand on his shoulder, Li Qinzai patted it hard and said with a smile: "You did a good job this time. If something like this happens in the future, I will feel relieved to leave it to you."
Tang Ji lowered his head and said, "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life, thanks to the blessing of the Marquis of Li County."
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "I heard from Old Wei that your skills belong to the assassin's art. Who did you learn it from?"
Tang Ji's eyes dimmed and he whispered: "In my early years, before my family was broken up, I learned a little bit from a wandering Taoist priest. Later, my family was broken up. In order to avoid being hunted, I often hid in the wild mountains and forests, where There are many wild beasts, and the villain has to fight for his life with the wild beasts in order to survive.”
"My skills were probably developed during that time. I couldn't fight the wild beasts face to face, so I could only ambush them secretly. Over time, I developed this sneaky and shady martial arts. I'm ashamed of myself."
Li Qinzai smiled and said: "I'm not ashamed at all. If I had your skills, I would wake up laughing even in my dreams. I can't see the light of day. As long as I can defeat the enemy, I will win. The winner is king, understand?"
Tang Ji finally showed a smile: "I understand, villain."
"Someone killed thirteen horses at the entrance of my village, so you killed thirteen of his people. This thing is very relaxing and the effect is good. Tang Ji, you are a talent, but your strength is a little weak. If I encounter more in the future, A powerful enemy, no matter how hard you try to ambush him, you can't do anything."
"So, you might as well recruit a few people with similar skills to you to work for me. The conditions can be negotiated. If you want money or things, you have to make a commitment. We can all negotiate easily."
Tang Ji was silent for a moment and said: "What Li County Marquis wants the villain to do is this..."
Li Qinzai seemed to see what he meant and said with a smile: "Yes, they are all shady things. Regardless of success or failure, I will not admit that it has anything to do with me, but you are not a dead soldier. I don't need you to sacrifice your life for me. If the wind is not blowing in the right direction, just run away and find another opportunity next time.”
Tang Ji nodded: "I understand, I will follow County Marquis Li's instructions to find talents."
Li Qinzai happily hooked Tang Ji's shoulder and walked into the house, smiling: "You were also a son of an official before. We have a common language. Come, let's have a few drinks together and exchange valuable experiences of doing evil in the past..."
Tang Ji paused, and Li Qinzai hooked his shoulder but did not move him. He couldn't help but look at him curiously.
Tang Ji lowered his head and said: "Things have changed, people have changed, ups and downs have come and gone, and after my family was ruined, I have sworn not to drink."
Li Qinzai was silent for a while, then smiled and said: "Okay, I won't force you. If you don't drink, why don't you eat? I'll drink and you eat. In short, we must make do with a meal today."
"I have always believed that only those who have eaten together are considered friends. We can be friends."
Tang Ji felt warm in his heart, but still refused: "I have a humble status, and I dare not share the same table and eat with Li Xianhou."
"Of course we are at different tables. If you don't want to drink, sit at the children's table."
…………
Just as Li Qinzai was drinking with Tang Ji, another news came out of Chang'an City.
The emperor decreed that Li Youdao should be dismissed from his position as Shaoqing, and he would be subject to a strict trial by the Ministry of Punishment. Li Qinzai participated in the four crimes of Li Youdao at the court meeting, and the Ministry of Punishment must provide evidence.
Not only that, the decree also ordered the seizure of Li Youdao's mansion, and all those who interfered in the mansion were imprisoned for interrogation. At the same time, the decree also issued a severe reprimand to the Zhaojun Li family, accusing the Zhaojun Li family of not being able to teach their children well, and the head of the family must bear responsibility.
Miraculously, the decree to reprimand the Li family of Zhaojun had not yet left Chang'an, but the Li family of Zhaojun had already taken action.
Li Zhengzao, the head of Nanzu's first house, knelt in front of the gate of Taiji Palace to apologize. Li Zhengzao kowtowed to the palace gate. He knelt until his head was broken and blood flowed, and he cried and played the trombone for a long time.
An hour later, the palace door opened and the emperor summoned Li Zhengzao.
Another hour passed, and Li Zhengzao walked out of the palace in despair.
I don’t know what Li Zhi and Li Zhengzao talked about in the palace. Outsiders only saw Li Zhengzao leaving the capital in a hurry after leaving the palace. As for what happened to Li Youdao, Li Zhengzao didn’t even ask, let alone ask anyone to take care of him, as if he had given up on him.
The next day, another news came out.
Li Youdao, who was imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment Prison, committed suicide in prison.
He committed suicide very decisively. Li Youdao hit the wall and died. When the jailer heard the noise and came over, Li Youdao's head was deformed.
Before committing suicide, Li Youdao left a suicide note. In the suicide note, he admitted all the crimes. Even several of the crimes involving the Zhao County Li family were blamed on himself. The so-called enclosure of land, harming farmers and slaves, etc., were all attributed to Li Youdao. What he did had nothing to do with the family.
