Chapter 497: A man who has become a family cannot be willful
It's true that he doesn't know how to praise, but Li Qinzai also really wants to act wild.
Li Qinzai often took holidays. He often gave himself holidays for no apparent reason. The little bastards in the school knew this very well.
But Li Qinzai still needs a long vacation. He really wants to take his wife and children to travel around.
He has no ambitions in this life, but he values family, which is more important to him than power. He is not worried about whether he will be squeezed out of the center of power after leaving the court and Li Zhi for a long time, but he
He is worried that if he is busy with state affairs for a long time, his wife and children will be disappointed and alienated from him.
If you are not interested in power, you will naturally have no business.
But the family must be managed. When you die in a few decades, you will not be given power, but your children and grandchildren.
At that time, power was not as good as a handful of loess covering the coffin.
Of course, running a family requires time and energy, so he must take a long leave. Regardless of whether Li Zhitong agrees with it or not, he will take a long leave.
Some life thoughts about power and family reached a philosophical level. Li Qinzai spoke sincerely and had a sincere expression. After finishing speaking, he looked at Li Zhi with blinking eyes.
Li Zhi pondered for a long time and said slowly: "I finally know how far a person can make up lies just to be lazy, about power and family... Tsk!"
"In a nutshell, I'm just lazy and don't want to work?"
Li Qinzai thought for a while and had to agree: "Your Majesty is an extremely transparent person, and I admire him very much."
Li Zhi twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "You have March holiday. Within three months, you can take your wife and children wherever you go. Today after three months, you must appear in the Taiji Hall to participate in the court meeting."
"
"Your Majesty, three months is not enough, half a year..."
Before he finished speaking, Li Zhi said sternly: "It's only March! If you bargain with me and make me angry, you won't give me even a day!"
"Since I ascended the throne to the present day, have I, the emperor, ever had a long March holiday? Occasionally I want to rest for a few days, but just after the court meeting, I was so excited by the censors that they participated in it. Why do you have a happier life than me? Well
,The more I say it, the more I regret it..."
Li Qinzai's eyelids twitched and he immediately said: "March, March! I thank your Majesty for your kindness!"
Li Zhi sighed and his expression became serious: "Jingchu, forget what the queen said to you this morning. She is only the queen, and I am the emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
…………
The relationship between Li Zhi and Empress Wu was very delicate.
The love between the two was actually dead long ago. When did it die? Probably from the day when Ganye Temple returned to the palace, maybe the Queen Xiao Shufei was fighting and fighting with her crazily, but Li Zhi was swaying, maybe... from the moment...
Never before.
Today's emperor and empress are a model couple respected by their subjects. They are always as loving as glue in front of outsiders.
It doesn't matter if love dies, it still has value, at least it can be used for show.
Li Zhi and Empress Wu are actually more like a pair of business partners. Li Zhi is the chairman with the largest shareholding, and Empress Wu is the second largest shareholder. The two work together to run the company better and make more money.
.
However, the second shareholder sometimes feels very insecure. She is afraid that the chairman will maliciously acquire her shares, so she has to make some small moves.
Whether it is self-protection or turning from passive to active, it is all to protect her own shares. At this time, she has not thought about becoming the chairman of the board.
Did the chairman really think about swallowing up the second shareholder's shares? Maybe, but the harm outweighed the benefits, so he gave up the idea.
Because outside the company, there is also a powerful foreign enemy such as the aristocratic family, so internal strife cannot occur within the company, and the two of them must make use of each other. No matter how much disagreement they have, they can only tolerate it and deal with the foreign enemy together first.
This is why Empress Wu dared to say these words to Li Qinzai. This smart woman knew her weight in the emperor's heart better than anyone else.
At the same time, this is also the reason why Li Zhi only severely reprimanded and warned Empress Wu after she said such excessive words, but did not punish her in any way.
Because of this woman, he really needs to continue to use each other. If the emperor and the empress turn against each other, it will be a minor matter. However, the front line and strategy for dealing with the family members that have been in operation for more than ten years will collapse in an instant. Li Zhi cannot bear such a heavy pain.
fail.
Li Qinzai knew Li Zhi's thoughts and concerns very well, so in front of Li Zhi, he didn't say a bad word about Empress Wu, neither complained nor complained, because it was meaningless.
Early the next morning, Li Zhi and Empress Wu left Ganjingzhuang. As Li Zhi said, it was impossible for the emperor to take a long vacation. A few days of rest at Li's house was too much.
Li Qinzai respectfully sent Li Zhi out of the village. It wasn't until the royal chariot and the imperial army disappeared at the end of the road that Li Qinzai straightened up. His expression that had been reluctant to leave him suddenly became brighter.
"Quickly, pack your things, our family of three is ready to hit the road!" Li Qinzai said happily.
Cui Jie was surprised: "Husband, where are we going?"
"Traveling in mountains and rivers, galloping horses, wherever you want to go!"
Cui Jie looked at the elated Li Qinzai and suddenly realized that her husband had not been so happy for a long time.
No matter what the purpose of the trip is, as long as her husband can always be so happy and Cui Jie is willing to accompany him, it doesn't matter where he goes.
"Where's Qiao'er? Bring paper, pens and books. Let's go back to play and don't let go of studying. Let's set off today. First, we will go south to see the beautiful Jiangnan of the Tang Dynasty. Then we will turn east and taste the salt of the sea.
, and finally headed north, filling his mouth with Fengsha and drinking wine..."
"I'm afraid this is the only time in my life that I can take a quick trip." Li Qinzai's expression gradually became dark as he spoke.
Cui Jie held his hand and said softly: "No, as long as my husband wants to, we will have many times in this life. If my husband is not happy as an official, it is better to resign from the official position. I am willing to accompany my husband all over the world."
, wherever there is a husband, there is home.”
Li Qinzai smiled bitterly: "A man who has married can no longer be willful."
…………
The imperial chariot swayed slightly, and the city of Chang'an was already in sight.
Li Zhi and Empress Wu were very silent along the way. The couple were in no mood to perform the loving scenes they had done for outsiders to see.
As we approached the city gate, we heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance.
When they were still a hundred feet away from the imperial chariot and honor guard, the sound of horse hooves suddenly stopped, apparently being stopped by the Imperial Guards.
Not long after, a forbidden soldier hurried to the imperial chariot, clasped his fists and reported, "Your Majesty, Liangzhou's eight-hundred-mile horse is here to report."
In the royal chariot, Li Zhi's cold voice came out: "Come on."
"On the 24th of October in the third year of Longshuo, Tubo Prime Minister Lu Dongzan sent 80,000 Tibetan troops to Tuyuhun. The war had begun and Tuyuhun was about to overthrow."
After the Imperial Guard reported the report, they kept their bowed posture, but there was no movement from Li Zhi in the imperial chariot for a long time.
After a long time, Li Zhi's voice finally came out.
"Go back to the palace quickly and summon the courtiers to discuss matters!"
