But just as Princess Chengyang opened her mouth to describe the domineering and strong, Li Zhi's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and there was even a hint of unhappiness in his face with a smile on his face:

"Your Royal Highness Princess, Princess Taiping's words can't be fully believed, at least she has a great prejudice against me in the first place, especially when she first met, her attitude towards me is quite bad. Forgive me for using such words, not because I am disrespectful to her status as a princess, but because of her partial prescient discrimination! ”

Li Zhi's words are not untrue, Taiping met him for the first time, and he was indeed full of arrogance, although his expression was full of smiles.

"Oh? My daughter of the emperor's family, how can she still be so rude? ”

Princess Chengyang was unhappy, although she looked at her daughter, the helplessness in her tone was also revealed.

Thinking that he knew his mother very well, Taiping did not explain, but replied to his mother lightly: "Mother, you listen to him and continue!" ”

Seeing that Princess Chengyang returned her gaze to herself, Li Zhi smiled: "Afterwards, I learned that the reason why Princess Taiping was a little disdainful of me was because of that Shang Fang sword!" Imagine, I was only a small Jiupin County Marquis at that time, although because of some things slowly climbed to the bottom of Wupintang, and I also belonged to the surname Li but did not have the blood of the royal family surnamed Li, how could I be qualified to supervise the royal family surnamed Li? Your Royal Highness Princess, you also know that since I was given the title of Emperor Saint General Shang Fangjian to me, whether it was bright or dark, I have suffered several blows, and when I saw His Royal Highness Taiping treat me like this, you always say that I can still be calm? ”

He didn't care about Princess Chengyang's lips that seemed to be about to speak, and he still chattered, "In fact, with the great wisdom of today's saints, how could you give me the meaningful Shang Fang Sword for no reason?" But why is the holy will so, although I know it well, but I don't want to explain it to anyone, and at the same time, the royal title of the royal family that was given to me makes me able to treat any member of the royal family calmly and equally, and with the sword of Shang Fang, it is any one of the ten kings, as long as I have the blood of the surname Li, I have the duty of guardianship, so why should I bother to explain to others? ”

As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Wu Sansi, this person was not only directly related to the fake person from Luoyang, but also the filthy affairs of Li Yin, the envoy of the Guangdong Jiedu Dynasty, against Zhengqing Wenqitang Paper, and he was also secretly involved.

Although Li Yin was beheaded, and the three kings behind him, King Jing, were demoted, Li Zhi let Wu Sansi go, but because of the persuasion of King Ming.

This incident caused Gaozong Longyan to be angry, and Li Zhi no longer pursued Wu Sansi, which does not mean that he does not know the hidden secrets.

He looked at Wu Sansi's glance with a very deep meaning, Princess Taiping was also involved at the beginning, and at a glance, Princess Chengyang understood that there was a reason why Li Zhi was not afraid of Taiping's identity as a princess, and who let her have the idea of striking first.

At this time, Princess Chengyang was not in a hurry to speak, Li Zhi glanced at him meaningfully, already showing that his Shang Fang Sword and the royal family Shangqing Zun were not only the other side of the opposite of the Empress Wu, but also a third party who was a cold bystander in the royal family surnamed Li.

Now that this person has been given the title of first-class loyal and righteous king, he is instantly on the same level as the ten kings, and if you Princess Chengyang treats him with a condescending attitude, it will only attract Li Zhi's greater disgust.

What can you do as Gaozong's own sister? Even ordinary people know that the current emperor's life is not long in coming, and the martial queen is watching from the side, and then the daughter-in-law of the martial family, there is also the blood of the Li family flowing in her body, and the Shang Fang sword in the hand of Li Zhi is guarding the blood of the Li family from falling, how else can you treat him?

The most embarrassing thing at the scene is the Wu father and son, although Wu Yuanqing is the husband of the princess of Chengyang, and he is a dignified concubine, but because of his advanced age, he is now riddled with diseases, and now it is not easy to stand here and come here, where do you still have the heart to provoke anything.

And Wu Sansi is getting more and more unbearable, as long as his aunt Wu Zetian does not take the throne one day, this person will not dare to make another mistake, after all, he has a major handle in the hands of Li Zhi, and Li Zhi is now a big celebrity in the eyes of Gaozong.

In fact, Princess Chengyang understands very well that Li Zhi does not belong to the side of the simple royal family surnamed Li, and the deeper meaning is similar to the neutral nature of King Ming.

Because his protection of the bloodline surnamed Li is based on guardianship, Shang Fangjian is configured for this, not against the forces of his surname.

Empress Wu's intention to usurp the throne is known to the world, and he went straight to Luoyang to consolidate the power of the Eastern Capital, which is the most obvious momentum, knowing that such a high emperor gave him Shang Fang Sword, and there is also a part of the meaning of showing his attitude to Empress Wu: I have monitored the royal family surnamed Li, you take your throne, but you can't kill it all, you have to leave me some blood inheritance, I do this, but also for our two common princes!

In this way, the identity of Li Zhi in the middle of it is quite important, and if he selfishly deviates from the surname Li, the future resistance of the royal family will be stronger.

On the contrary, if she falls to the side of Empress Wu more, she will finally gain imperial power more smoothly.

This kind of Shang Fang sword that is not neutral on the surface, but quite similar in nature, makes the Empress Wu feel very awkward, after all, the entire Tang Dynasty belongs to the surname Li, strictly speaking, the power is obtained by his surname, and Shang Fangjian will also have effect.

Of course, if Empress Wu had already obtained the throne, there would be no more fears, and at that time, the so-called Shang Fang Sword would only be reduced to an ordinary iron sword.

It is precisely because of this understanding that Princess Chengyang's psychology has changed, and all of this comes from Li Zhifang's seemingly inadvertent glance.

Behind him, King Ming and others secretly raised their fingers in their hearts, and Li Zhi's handling of this not only metaphorically meant that his identity could not be ignored, but also saved the face of Princess Chengyang and others, and slightly hit the arrogance of the Empress Wu's side.

The current Li Zhi is not as good as before, with a first-class public status, and the blessing of the son-in-law of the Umayyad Dynasty, and the ability of a well-known cultivator.

This indirectly shows that no matter how powerful a force is, as long as it can't be cut down and given a chance to get out calmly, he has many means to fight back.

Li Zhi continued, with a smile in his words: "Fortunately, Princess Taiping is extremely sympathetic, and through the misunderstanding, she trusts me very much." And I did have some kind of prejudice and obsession before, and under the grace of Her Royal Highness the Princess, I appreciate her open-mindedness and generosity in her temperament, and there will be business cooperation between us soon. To tell you the truth, say a thousand, say ten thousand, I am fundamentally a businessman first and foremost, I have no intention of career, I value wealth more, and if I say a big rebellious word, I am even more willing to put the sword on the shelf from now on, for admiration, rather than to make it work! ”

The person who holds the Shang Fang sword is the emperor's most trusted person, and has the privilege of cutting first and then playing, even if he is a noble status such as Chengyang and Taiping, he does not dare to ignore it lightly.

However, whenever the Shang Fang Sword is granted, it symbolizes the arbitrary power to be exerted, so how to choose whether the holder uses the Shang Fang Sword to kill or act cheaply is extremely important.

Especially at present, Li Zhi's identity has its own particularity, and it is no longer the last insignificant person who was born in Fengwu County before.

His words not only invisibly overestimated the importance of Princess Taiping's status, but also pointed out that she has the ability to recognize people and foresight, and knows how to guide according to the situation, so as to develop herself.

Taiping couldn't hear the potential meaning in Li Zhi's mouth, and said happily: "Mother, this is Li Zhili Zhengwen's cleverness, he knows how to balance left and right, and makes unremitting efforts for this." Just as he single-mindedly built the commercial development plan of Chang'an City arranged for him by his father, in terms of the overall environment, it can make the entire Datang economy skyrocket and enhance its national strength; From a one-sided point of view, at least within the scope of Chang'an City, there is an opportunity for common development between various forces, which can infinitely reduce the adverse effects of infighting. What the daughter said before that her strong style of life and work is not exactly what her father values? Human nature is paranoid and soft, how can we control such a big business trend? ”

Xue Shao, who had never spoken, interjected at this time: "Actually, Taiping has been talking to me a lot recently, Mr. Li has amazing practical ability in business, which can be seen in his Zhengqing Wenqitang business status!" Moreover, the effect of his help to my Datang whether it is business or military is obvious, although Mr. has not been involved for a long time, his achievements are indelible! ”
