In the eyes of parents, children are always perfect, and Empress Wu is not exempt from this rule.
Li Qinzai really didn't expect that Empress Wu would have the nerve to say that Li Xian was "excellent in both character and learning". Is this a word worthy of Li Xian?
She probably didn't know how Li Xian behaved in school, and she never heard Li Xian cry and howl in the examination room, "I can't do this question, I can't do it, it's too difficult..."
No matter how bad a disciple is, he cannot add fuel to the fire in front of his parents, especially since his mother is the current queen and she will not die if she says something nice.
Well, I feel that today's merit has been increased by one, and my teacher's morality has also been increased by one, which is very fulfilling.
Listening to Li Qinzai's nonsense without changing his expression, Empress Wu smiled and raised her sleeves to lightly cover her lips.
"Okay, okay, I am exaggerating to say that Xian'er is 'excellent in both character and learning'. I have heard a little bit about Xian'er's performance in school. There is no need to flatter Jingchu. I am the mother, and you are the mother." Teacher, how should I educate you? You don’t have to be merciful. I will only be grateful and will never hold grudges."
"But to be honest, Jing Chu's education is really deeply rooted in people's hearts. Xian'er may not be good at reading, but his temperament has improved a lot in the past two years and he has become more and more sensible. I am not exaggerating this statement."
Li Qinzai said humbly: "Since I have become Ying Wangxian's teacher, I will not treat him as an ancestor. To tell the truth, Ying Wangxian received a lot of beatings in the school, and he probably suffered the same trick, so I’m slowly becoming more sensible.”
Empress Wu praised: "Well done, I have no mercy from a soft-hearted woman. When it comes to educating children, I have always believed that good talents come out of strictness. Jingchu's philosophy coincides with mine. It's very kind." .”
Li Qinzai was convinced.
Empress Wu was famous in history for her harshness towards her children.
This also resulted in her four biological sons being suppressed by her. Most of them had gentle and polite personalities, and they were basically a little timid. This was the result of her mother's strong education.
One is a parent and the other is a teacher. When it comes to children's education, the two of them have a rare and harmonious chat.
After a while, Empress Wu realized that she had gone off topic, so she straightened her sitting posture, coughed twice, and forced herself back to the topic.
"Jingchu, the second thing I want to say today is about the recent fight for the heir apparent in Beijing..."
Li Qinzai frowned quickly, and then relaxed it quickly.
There was a hint of smile in Empress Wu's tone: "You are Xian'er's teacher. To be honest, I have been worried that you would take action in the fight for the heir apparent. After all... Xian'er is also the emperor's legitimate son and is qualified to compete. .”
Li Qinzai smiled faintly: "The queen actually doesn't want me to take any action, right?"
Empress Wu said cheerfully: "Yes, Your Majesty and I have already chosen a candidate for this matter, and it is a suitable and reasonable candidate... You are Xian'er's teacher and a pillar of your Majesty's very valued ministers. If you really If you want to help Xian'er fight, your majesty and I will be in great trouble, and the court will become even more chaotic."
As he spoke, Empress Wu suddenly stared at him curiously through the bead curtain: "Jingchu, I really want to know why you don't help Xian'er fight for the throne. Not only that, you also drove out Xian'er's advisers. Why should I show my determination to the world that I will never participate?"
Li Qinzai thought for a moment and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is seriously ill. King Pei was urgently and secretly recalled to the capital. I already know His Majesty's answer."
"My job is to teach. Let's take an exam paper as an example. I know that I already have the correct answer, but if I insist on writing a wrong answer, wouldn't it be extremely stupid?"
"If I help King Xian of England to fight for the throne, not only will it not change the outcome, but it will make the future Crown Prince hostile to King Xian of England, and in the end it will cost King Xian of England his life."
"As a teacher, even if you can't help your disciple clear obstacles, at least you shouldn't lead him down the road of death. Is that right, Queen?"
The smile on Empress Wu's face became deeper and deeper: "Jing Chu, you are indeed a smart man. I am worried that you will take action. I am afraid that a hundred years from now, Your Majesty and I will, the current dispute over the crown prince will become a problem for Xian'er. knife."
"Your Majesty and I were right about the person. Xian'er is very lucky to have such a good teacher like you."
Li Qinzai twitched his lips, saving Li Xian on one hand, but mainly on saving himself.
King Pei Li Xian is a good person, but he is only now. Who knows what he will be like as an emperor in the future.
Now he is competing with Li Xian for the throne. Li Xian may not necessarily attack Li Xian after he ascends the throne in the future, but he will definitely attack him as a teacher.
In the past few years, the main focus has been on the word "stability". I don't want to burn the stove for some awesome person in advance, but I must not offend the future boss, otherwise the time travel will be in vain?
Regarding the prince's affairs, Empress Wu did not want to say more, as the topic was a bit heavy.
Li Hong was also her biological child. Now that his time was running out, Li Zhi and Empress Wu still had to suppress their heavy emotions to choose the future prince for the Tang Dynasty. How could parents not feel heartbroken.
"I have a third thing to do today..." Empress Wu said slowly.
Li Qinzai lowered his head and said, "I am listening attentively."
Empress Wu stared at Li Qinzai through the bead curtain, and her tone suddenly turned cold: "The emperor has recently believed in immortality. The demon monk Lu Jiayi has caused great harm to the country and deceived the emperor. He should be punished for his crime. I don't want this man alive."
Li Qinzai suddenly raised his head and looked at Empress Wu in shock.
What is this couple doing?
Don’t they all say that the husband sings and the wife follows suit? You, a mother-in-law, have a backbone.
Regardless of Empress Wu's reasons, Li Qinzai's first thought was to stay away from this muddy water. This would be more dangerous than getting involved in the dispute over the prince.
"Well, I don't quite understand what the Queen means... Your Majesty firmly believes in the art of immortality. It seems... there's nothing wrong with it, right?" Li Qinzai immediately answered.
Empress Wu sneered: "I praised you as a smart person just now, but now you are pretending to be stupid again. Li Jingchu, is it so difficult to tell the truth to me?"
Li Qinzai said without changing his expression: "I am just a teacher. I have never wanted to get involved in court affairs."
Empress Wu snorted: "Yes, you have never interfered. That day after you met Lu Jiajiduo in Anren Hall, you immediately went to the East Palace to meet the prince after leaving the palace. You also told the prince not to take Lujiajiduo. The medicine, is this what you call 'unadulterated'?"
Li Qinzai's eyelids twitched, and his eyeliner had already been put into the East Palace?
Empress Wu added: "When Liu Shen, the Marquis of Nanyang County, went to Ganjingzhuang to visit you, he asked you to introduce Lu Jiajiduo to His Majesty. You refused on the spot. That night, Lu Jiajiduo was assassinated in the hotel. Unfortunately, the assassin underestimated Lu Jiajiduo. Gaydo, I’m afraid this is also your handiwork, right?”
"You clearly know that this person is a monster monk who is causing harm to the country. If he is not eliminated, he will bring chaos to the world. Why do you speak without conscience in front of me?"
Li Qinzai was left speechless.
It is indeed not easy to be the only empress in history. If nothing else, this intelligence network is simply more powerful than Baiqisi. How big is her secret power?
All the secrets were revealed to her face, and Li Qinzai found himself naked in front of her, feeling a little shy for no reason...
Now that it has been exposed, Li Qinzai is embarrassed to pretend anymore.
After cupping his hands, Li Qinzai said carefully: "Your Majesty believes in immortality, but the Queen wants to kill the demon monk. Can I ask why?"
