By tracing back the history, later generations can already find that the people of the Japanese country invaded the eastern land in ancient times.

It is like a beast, fight obediently for a few years, once it has strength, and jump a few times, in short, backward will be beaten, only the east soil is prosperous, self-improvement, in order to be invincible forever.

Although Taiping didn't know why Li Zhi talked about the Wa Kingdom, he insisted on his own point of view so much, and even became a little hysterical and angry.

But at this time, she had already grasped that there were all kinds of real miracles in this person, so she chose to support him unconditionally: "I must keep this matter in mind, and I will definitely pass on Mr. Li's complete opinion!" ”

Li Zhi is still voicing his ideas:

"In addition to the inferiority of this national character, there is also the reason why their country has little land, a large population, and quite limited resources, and frequent natural disasters. Therefore, this nation is more aggressive, and they believe that if they want to expand their strength, they must always take the road of strong expansion, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve greater development. ”

There is another reason why Li Zhi can't continue his complaints, and that is that more than 300 years later, Dongying's bushido was born.

The spirit of bushido is a complex, chaotic and extreme sense of survival, as well as emotional tendencies, that this people gradually evolved in a small island.

If it is confined to the island, it will still maintain its character and grace, but if it is released to the vast continent outside, it will show its cruel side, bringing terror and disaster to other peoples and peoples.

Situated on the western edge of the Pacific Rim Seismic Zone, the island nation is like sitting in a chair that is constantly rocking, and it is very much longing for a solid continent.

This is also the reason why, every time the Japanese launched a colonial war, they would get the full support of their common people, and their own territorial shortcomings led to the desire to own a large area of territory, completely triumphing over the fear of war itself.

And what supports this ambition is the unforgettable spirit of bushido, even the original bushido, which still advocates loyalty, faithfulness, honesty, martial arts, and honor.

But as a product of the politics of the feudal shogunate era, it absorbed some superficial things of Confucianism and Buddhism, not its true meaning, and those ideas of Confucianism and Buddhism that could not satisfy Bushido were fully provided by the Shintoism inherent in this despicable people.

After the country finally embarked on the path of militarism, Bushido underwent a major aberration, as the spiritual norm of the traditional feudal system, but found a place in the increasingly fascist national army and became an empire. a tool for aggression and expansion.

Now that the katana has not yet appeared, Li Zhi naturally can't complain about it, but at least the previous resolute attitude has attracted enough attention from Taiping.

So he replied with a smile: "As long as I am in Datang for a day, I will carry out a severe blow to the Japanese people at every opportunity, maybe you will think that I am too paranoid in dealing with this issue, but history will verify the correctness of what I did, maybe for decades, maybe hundreds of years, the Japanese country will be a big trouble in my eastern land!" ”

Taiping seemed to understand his chatter very well, and gave him a chopstick dish to comfort him a little.

Instead, he raised the bottle in his hand and took the opportunity to change the subject:

"Peng Tingshi, knowing that Mr. Li and I have partnered to open Zhengqing Wenqitang, our wine is the most advanced technology, and it is top grade in terms of quality and taste, so you Dengzhou Mansion will use this kind of low-grade goods to entertain guests?"

A layer of sweat oozed from Peng Zuoxiang's head, and Li Zhi instantly sensed the mystery, but he was silent and silent.

Seeing Peng Zuoxiang looking at him, Li Xia shook his head helplessly: "Your Royal Highness Princess, we can't be the master, this is a task forcibly arranged by Fang Shihu, he has the edict of the Empress of the East Palace in his hand, under the decree of Yi, who dares to disobey?" ”

Princess Taiping was taken aback: "Who? Fang Shihu? The second director of Luoyang Internal Affairs Office? The procurement manager of Ziwei Palace? ”

This person Li Zhi has also seen, the first time he came to Luoyang, the first person he saw was the person who was responsible for the implementation and procurement of the specific affairs of the East Palace.

"Which other Fang Shihu is the eunuch of the three temples of the East Palace! This kind of liquor is not much lower than the expensive high Xifeng wine, and the so-called high liquor quality only shows that it has a high alcohol content, but there is no quality at all, its slight taste is because it contains more flavors and spices, and it is not only choking people but also easy to get on after drinking! ”

Li Xia's complaint made Li Zhi involuntarily pick up a cup and taste it, and then threw it aside:

"It's still the same traditional brewing process, the solid-state distillation method is also the old method, and the recipe is even more foolish, which is not much different from the scattered liquor on the country street! As you said, a lot of flavors and spices are added, and it smells mellow and fragrant, but when it is introduced, only the inferior quality of wine is left! ”

Taiping was obviously holding back the anger in his heart, "Mr. Li, are you saying that this kind of wine is far inferior to our high-grade wine?" And the price is on the high side? ”

Li Zhi nodded: "To put it more vividly, if our Xifeng liquor is worth 800 Wen, this kind of liquor is also 18 Wen, a gap of dozens of times, not only in price, but also in quality!" ”

Taiping immediately turned his head to Li Xia: "The entire Henan Province is like this? Fang Shihu is involved? ”

Li Xia smiled bitterly: "Not only Henan Province, but also Hebei Province, Hedong Province, and Shannan Province!" Oh, Li Tingshi is also here, and so is their Youzhou! ”

Don't look at just four roads, if you calculate by area, it has accounted for forty percent of Datang, and the official procurement of such a large area, Fang Shihu's business is very large.

inquired and understood the reason, Li Shi, who had just arrived, was a pure soldier, and his speech was much more direct than that of Li Xia and the others:

"Fang Shihu, this bastard, knows this, he will bring his own wine when he participates in the banquet, but the wine glass is still this kind of wine bottle, and the wine in it is Xifeng from Zhengqing Wenqitang! It's not a secret, he will take the initiative to say it when he has a desire to drink, and when I see that disgusting face, I want to pump him several times! ”

Taiping said solemnly: "I don't dare to guarantee anything else, but my queen mother will never sign such an edict, because she didn't ask for it from the royal family at all about the procurement matters, so she avoided this suspicion." The East Palace has its own procurement, but it is limited to the expenditure in the palace, and there is no external involvement, and the procurement power is in the hands of He Baoquan, the chief manager of the inner court, and the chief procurement manager of Ziwei Palace only has the authority to propose! ”

Everyone was shocked, this Fang Shihu was too bold, this obvious crime of bullying the king was serious, but it would destroy the nine clans.

Moreover, it is impossible not to let the imperial court get the news of such a large-scale behavior involving the four Dao, such blatant, if you want to conceal it, it is definitely not something he can do alone, at least the relevant Dao government has internal responses, and there are big people behind him to rely on.

For some reason, Li Zhi thought of the martial arts family for the first time, and he could open the oracle plate paper in the East Palace, and he could forge the handwriting of the Empress Wu intact, but it was not something that a small eunuch could do, and it was bound to be a person who had a close relationship with the East Palace.

He immediately threw himself into Taiping, and Princess Taiping was also looking at him at the moment, and a trace of worry on her face confirmed that she was thinking the same in her heart.

In this way, this is a big problem, at present, Gaozong is doing everything possible to find the flaws of the martial family, and the martial queen is also in an extremely passive situation, once this matter is related to the martial family, it will undoubtedly make the situation in the palace tense again.

The result of the battle between the two sides will directly affect the stability of the situation in Datang, and it is difficult to protect the military side because the losses are too huge and choose to fight against the water, in that case, Datang will be in danger of war.

"The water in here will be very deep, and there will be no fewer characters involved! Li Xia, do you tell the truth, did you accept Fang Shihu's private benefits? Li Zhi thought about it, but decided to get involved and strive to make the big thing small.

As soon as such a decision comes out, you need to know in advance that the four provinces of Henan Province, Hebei Province, Hedong Road, and Shannan Road have not been corroded, so that you can take the next step.

Li Xia Zhengse said: "Several other colleagues complained in front of me, not only the price is extremely high, but there are distinguished customers who have to make another purchase, they will not have a problem." As for my same psychology as them, it is clear that there is a cat in it, and this kind of money-collecting behavior has reached the point of unscrupulousness, but I dare not take some benefits from it, so wouldn't I push myself into the fire pit? ”

Li Shi followed up and said: "I have also encountered these, we all have different guesses in our hearts, this matter can be big or small, but once it happens, it will not be a small matter." It's not that our subordinates are disrespectful to Yi Zhi, but I don't think that our queen will make money like this! ”

Youzhou belongs to the existence of a special nature, although it is only a system of assassination of the history of the order, the urgency of its geographical location has been equivalent to a party of the degree of moderation, otherwise after Li Longji came to power, he would not have upgraded the Youzhou Mansion to a degree of moderation.

Hearing what the two said, and Li Zhi's method of knowing people, he already understood the current situation.

So he said: "I think you should ignore this matter for the time being, the handling of the incident is inevitable, but the most important thing is to secretly dig out the moths in the East Palace first, so as to find out another person in depth!" ”

He turned to look at Taiping: "I think Her Royal Highness the princess is afraid that she will repair a book immediately, and she will quickly offer advice to the martial queen, only her old man knows how to deal with it correctly." ”

Only a few words, Taiping has already understood, this matter must be notified to the martial arts before the arrival of Dali Temple, the first to take the lead, in order to deal with the next series of incidents in advance.

If Empress Wu operates reasonably, she can quickly resolve this matter before it is known by Gaozong, whether the Wu family is involved, and you can also find out the substitute ghost in advance.

His original intention was not to help Wu Zetian, but he didn't want to cause another chaos in the imperial court.

Since the momentum of Empress Wu's ascension to the throne has become unstoppable, and the only way to maintain the stability of the situation on the surface is to maintain the stability of the situation, Gaozong's two targeted strikes have made the martial family lose the deep strength that it should have in history.

also has to leave her some controllable strength, if this person realizes the crisis that the general trend has gone, it is not far from finally tearing his face, and it is the Datang Society and the people who will suffer the most.

Taiping's plan for Li Zhi, the psychology is like a mirror, there is no doubt that this solution is the safest, she is very grateful to Li Zhi for not first dealing with this matter from the perspective of the royal family surnamed Li.

At this time, she was only troubled by being caught between her parents, but after Li Zhi's enlightenment, she realized that there were many crises in the delicate situation, and naturally she didn't want anything big to happen in the near future.

So she simply got up and left, not forgetting to call Jiao Jianxiu, a loyal retainer, with him no matter the wording and content, it would be reasonable and fit the mood of the martial queen.

She also knew that it was difficult to communicate with Li Zhi in depth in public, and the solution he proposed was already the most ideal result.

She trusts Li Zhi more to help her deal with the aftermath, at least she will find an excuse to block the mouths of a few people present, so as to prevent the further spread of the news.
