Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 1216
This was embarrassing, Li Qinzai felt ashamed, and his old face, which was rarely flushed in a century, was actually flushed a little at this moment.

Amidst the embarrassment, there was still some disbelief, the drinking last night was indeed broken, but... not so brave, right?
From Anren Temple to Suzhangmen, all the way through, do you have so much urine?
"Did the queen... er, make a mistake? Minister, you can't be so rude, right?" Li Qinzai said cautiously.

Empress Wu sneered: "Didn't you count the virtues of your monarchs and ministers when they were drunk?"

Li Qinzai said embarrassingly: "The empress forgives the sin. I lost my appearance last night and drank and forgot things. I really can't imagine it. With my ability... how can it be impossible to spread all the way from Anren Hall to Suzhangmen? It's several miles away. "

Empress Wu's phoenix eyes showed displeasure: "You still deny it, don't you? Last night you left the Anren Hall, and there were palace people following you. Otherwise, how do you think this palace knows?"

After speaking, Empress Wu clapped her hands, and an eunuch walked in from outside the hall, saluting respectfully.

Empress Wu said nothing with a cold face, but pointed to Li Qinzai impatiently.

The eunuch understood, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li was drinking last night, and he left Anren Hall in a short time. First, he opened his hem under the pillar outside Anren Hall, and dripped a few drops... er, expensive urine."

"Then I staggered all the way to Qianqiu Palace, and dripped a few more drops. In every hall I passed along the way, Jungong Li dripped a few drops... The deep palace has strict rules, and the slaves are afraid that Jungong Li will bump into the guards who are patrolling. Follow you."

Li Qinzai was a little unhappy: "Wait a minute, I admit that I peed outside every hall, what do you mean by dropping a few drops?"

The eunuch was puzzled and said: "It's the literal meaning. You really only dropped a few drops under the pillars of each hall, and you were still muttering something to yourself. The slaves are too far away, so you can't hear clearly..."

Li Qinzai's face turned green again.

Men know that it is easy to take off their pants to pee, but the hard part is to divide a bubble of urine into several parts, drop a few drops at a time, then resolutely collect it, and drop a few more drops in another place...

How much perseverance and indomitable will it takes to do such a shameless thing, no matter how you think about it, it doesn't look like your own style.

The Duke of Liaodong County in the Tang Dynasty, who pissed everywhere like a wild dog, really marked the Tai Chi Palace.

It suddenly occurred to me that Li Ji and Li Siwen kept calling themselves "evil animals", and now it seems that it is not unreasonable...

The eunuch was still talking in a low voice, from Qianqiu Hall to Baifu Hall, and the process and details of leaving traces in each palace were clearly explained.

The eunuch's memory is so fresh, it must be Li Qinzai's actions that left him with a deep and unforgettable impression. Since the completion of the Taiji Palace, no one has done this before.

Li Qinzai's face was ashen, and he interrupted him with a raised hand: "Okay, stop talking, I know!"

The eunuch kept his mouth shut, and raised his eyes to give him an admiring glance. From his eyes, Li Qinzai could tell that he was adoring himself as a man.

The eunuch retreated out of the hall tactfully, Li Qinzai looked up and saw Empress Wu staring at him coldly.

Li Qinzai sighed, bowed and said, "I'm drunk and disrespectful. I deserve death. Please punish me with empress."

Empress Wu snorted coldly and said, "The county magistrate of the Tang Dynasty is so virtuous after drunk. If the courtiers find out, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the impeachment."

Li Qinzai sighed: "Yes, I have been convicted."

Empress Wu glanced at him sideways, and said: "Tai Chi Palace is the place where His Majesty and I live. You are so unscrupulous that you piss everywhere to enclose the territory. Tell yourself, how should I punish you?"

Li Qinzai was silent for a moment, then said cautiously: "This matter...can you solve it by paying money?"

Empress Wu laughed angrily: "How much money do you think can solve the problem?"

Li Qinzai decisively stretched out two fingers: "Two punctures..."

Seeing Empress Wu's complexion, Li Qinzai changed his words decisively: "Two puns are impossible, twenty puns!"

Bitter in the mouth, I have lived two lifetimes, and I have never urinated so expensive...

Empress Wu turned around, looked up at Tathagata's golden body, and said indifferently: "Forget it, what is my status, I care about this kind of thing with you, in fact, you know very well that it was His Majesty who dragged you to drink last night and did anything wrong. His Majesty will not blame you..."

"You and His Majesty have a personal relationship like brothers. If I punish you, His Majesty will feel uncomfortable. Why should I make trouble for myself?"

Li Qinzai bowed and said: "I am not proud of being favored. If I am wrong, I am wrong. Last night, I really lost my manners when I was drunk. I will judge the crime. I have no resentment. It has nothing to do with whether your Majesty favors or trusts me."

Empress Wu turned and stared at him, with a half-smile and said: "You are really His Majesty's loyal minister, you are capable and loyal, even if I win you over, you are not moved at all, no wonder Your Majesty treats you so highly .”

Li Qinzai said neither soft nor hard: "The world belongs to His Majesty, and of course I am your Majesty's loyal minister. Besides being loyal to Your Majesty, who else can I be loyal to?"

Empress Wu sighed, apparently she had given up trying to win over Li Qinzai very early on.

At the beginning when her party feathers were cut off and Li Yifu was beheaded, it was Li Zhi who beat her hard. Since then, her ambitions have finally subsided, whether it is dormancy or giving up completely. In short, today's Empress Wu is She is the real queen of Datang, she seems to have learned not to cross the line.

Avoiding this topic, Empress Wu changed the subject and said, "You did a good job killing Lu Jiayi this time..."

A smile suddenly appeared on his face, Empress Wu said: "What did you say in front of His Majesty? You were entrusted by Liu Rengui to go outside the city to intercept Lu Jiayiduo in advance. Heh, the nonsense is pretty decent, if I don't know who you are Man, I'm afraid I believe you as credulously as His Majesty."

Li Qinzai also smiled and said: "Queen, I have entrusted you with this matter..."

Empress Wu narrowed her eyes: "If I don't entrust this to you, why don't you kill him?"

"I can kill, but I think it's good to get the empress's favor." Li Qinzai said frankly.

Empress Wu laughed lightly. Even though she was a woman in her forties, her smile was indeed charming. No wonder Li Zhi was so fascinated by her back then. He wanted to take her into the harem, and even tried his best to abolish Wang Liwu.

"Li Jingchu, it turns out that you and Ben Gong can actually cooperate, and they have a very pleasant cooperation, right?" Empress Wu laughed.

Li Qinzai felt alert in his heart, and still smiled and said: "It depends on what is going on, I forgive you, only when the interests of the queen and the minister are consistent, can there be cooperation."

"For example, Lu Jiayiduo, the minister wanted to kill him, and the queen also wanted to kill him, so this cooperation is quite pleasant."

Empress Wu nodded: "Yes, cooperation is possible only when interests are the same. Jingchu, if you and I have the same interests in the future, would you still like to cooperate with me?"

Li Qinzai was even more vigilant, and said cautiously: "I think that we will only find out whether we have the same interests when things come to an end. What we are talking about now is nothing more than empty talk, meaningless."

Empress Wu was silent for a while, then said slowly: "There is one thing, I hope Jing Chu can help me."
