Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Li Zhi's reluctance to openly quarrel with the famous families in the south of the Yangtze River is not because of his lack of strength, but because he can't bear to use weapons internally, which will only increase Tang's internal friction.

The worst situation is just like the end of the Sui Dynasty, when the world's aristocratic families united to rebel.

But today is different from the past, the Tang army has an absolute advantage in weapons, and the Tian family royal family is standing on the stance of the common people. The situation of the end of the Sui Dynasty, when the wall was overthrown by everyone, can no longer be replicated in the current Tang Dynasty.

As Li Qinzai said, the suspected rebellion of the eight prominent families will not end so easily.

There was an uproar in the court, and when Li Zhi and several important ministers stirred up public opinion, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty understood their expressions, and beat up the eight prominent families.

There are more and more memorials for impeachment. Officials from prominent families are stuck in the quagmire and cannot get out. Liu Xiangdao, Minister of the Criminal Ministry, also began to investigate the officials. Bathe in the sun.

The revenge of Li Qinzai and his disciples on the Eight Great Families seems to have been completely forgotten. No one mentioned it in the court, and everyone fired at the Eight Great Families with all their strength.

Of course, Li Qinzai didn't want to join in the fun, so when the court was full of uproar, Li Qinzai resolutely withdrew and continued to live like a salted fish.

I was still a little grateful to Li Zhi in my heart, he helped Li Qinzai solve this trouble smoothly.

In order to reciprocate, Li Qinzai sent more than 100 catties of fresh beef to Tai Chi Palace.

Yes, unfortunately, the cattle in Ganjingzhuang have sprained their feet again. Fengshui is not good, and cattle are prone to sprained feet, and the county magistrate of Weinan can't do anything about it.

The Li family courtyard has to pay a lot of fines every year. Every cow that is crippled is slaughtered, and the local county government has to pay fines.

Later, a poet named Li Bai drank too much and wrote poems. He said, "It is a pleasure to cook cattle and slaughter sheep, and you will have to drink three hundred cups at a time."

Empress Wu led the wives from Chang'an City to Luoyang to offer sacrifices to the farm altar, and it has been more than a month since she went there.

A few days later, news came from Luoyang that Empress Wu had completed her sacrifice and was on her way back to Chang'an with her concubines.

Empress Wu not only offered sacrifices to the agricultural altar in Luoyang, but also did something that surprised the local people in Luoyang.

She summoned local officials in Luoyang and allocated [-] guan from the queen's personal treasury to set up a charity hall in Luoyang. She specifically stated that she was doing charity on behalf of the emperor to help the poor and disaster-stricken households in Guanzhong.

The empress took the lead in distributing money to do good deeds, and the wives should be happy to do so. Therefore, a hundred wives who trek from Chang'an generously donated their money. .

A total of about one hundred thousand yuan of donations was actually put together in this way.

Cui Jie and Jin Xiang were also accompanying wives. The two daughters had discussed it long ago, so they donated [-] guan on behalf of the Liaodong County Government, and Jin Xiang also volunteered to prepare for the empress to build a charity hall.

Jinxiang's statement surprised Empress Wu. She thought that the idea of ​​establishing a charity hall came from Jinxiang and her husband. Cui Jie and Jinxiang donated another three thousand guan, making them the most powerful family to donate money except the empress.

After thinking about it, Empress Wu also agreed to Jinxiang's request, and appointed Jinxiang as the charity envoy of Gyeonggi Province, and took full power to prepare the Luoyang Charity Hall as a female official.

It has to be said that the Tang Dynasty was indeed the most enlightened dynasty in thousands of years of history. Women in this dynasty could be officials, and they could also hold a small amount of power. Hard work can also find a stage to show your ability.

Jinxiang is undoubtedly lucky. She has an open-minded husband and a member of the royal family. Her life is like being wrapped in honey, and she is envied by countless ordinary women.

What can be done?The greatest suffering she has suffered in this life is when she gritted her teeth and forged ahead when she was reincarnated. At the same time, her father, King Teng, shuddered.

…………

Chang'an City, Duke's Mansion.Li Qinzai finally got his wish. He caught all the toads in the pond in the backyard, then peeled them and put them in the pan, fried them in boiling oil until golden, seasoned them vigorously, and served a plate of deep-fried frogs on the table.

There is no animal protection law in this era, and the toad eats it openly.

Frog meat is fragrant and tender, perfect for drinking wine.

After dinner, everyone in the mansion finished their food, and when they were about to go to bed, Li Qinzai brought out the supper, and ordered the servant girl to bring iced grape wine, and sat in the courtyard to pour himself a drink.

Someone eating supper is always very attractive.Soon Qiaoer Hongbi and Shangguan brothers and sisters were all attracted by the fragrance.

Li Qinzai smiled and ordered someone to fetch bowls and chopsticks for the children to eat together.

Be it a father or a teacher, in addition to strict academic requirements, there is no need to be too strict in life. You should eat and drink. Li Qinzai is not a gentleman and old-fashioned pedantic, so he can't find a sense of presence in front of the children.

The corners of the mouth of the first and fourth year snacks were greasy, and just halfway through eating, a graceful figure flashed in the backyard.

Li Qinzai hadn't noticed yet, but Qiao'er happily raised her little hand: "Aunt Jin, come and eat toad, my father made it himself, it's very delicious."

Li Qinzai turned his head, and suddenly found Jin Dayan walking out from the shadow of the tree, looking at the golden and crispy frog on the low table in the yard, Jin Dayan swallowed secretly, and said with a straight face: "If you don't eat before going to bed, otherwise Hurt the spleen and stomach, how can I break the precept as a doctor?"

Qiao'er blinked, then looked at Li Qinzai again.

A moment later, Jin Dayan was already sitting at the low table, holding a fat and tender frog leg with one chopstick and stuffing it into the small mouth of Cherry, unaware of a ray of oil flowing down.

"It smells so good!" Jin Dayan praised.

Li Qinzai laughed, and winked at her: "With meat but no wine, wouldn't it be a disappointment to the beauty of this good day? Would Doctor Jin drink some grape wine? It's iced."

Jin Dayan's almond eyes widened, struggling.

Qiao'er chimed in and said, "I've eaten all the meat, why do you care about drinking a few sips of wine?"

"I'm going to get fat..." Jin Dayan gritted her teeth to support the remaining rationality.

"The Tang Dynasty regards plump women as the beauty, and the golden doctor is too thin, and his whole body is less than three taels of flesh. If he can be a little fatter, he will be more charming." Li Qinzai laughed.

Jin Dayan hesitated for a while, but in the end she couldn't resist the temptation of chilled grape wine, and gritted her teeth: "Today, I will fight! Only today, tomorrow I must be self-disciplined!"

Li Qinzai laughed and filled her a glass of grape wine.

The dignitaries of the Tang Dynasty were very particular about drinking wine, and they used what kind of cups to drink. Ordinary sanle pulp or rice wine used lacquerware wine cups, but grapes must be made from luminous cups.

The so-called "luminous cup" is actually a glass cup with a relatively cloudy transparency. This thing is still a rare object in Tang Dynasty today. It looks cloudy and yellowish, but it is also worth a lot of money, and only the rich and powerful can afford it.

Picking up the translucent glass, Jin Dayan drank it with her neck up, the cold feeling went down her throat to her stomach, and she immediately let out a refreshing sigh.

"It's so comfortable! Life is like this, you can die without regret." Jin Dayan sighed.
