Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 59

Breathe a sigh of relief before throwing a paper airplane, this is an instinct engraved in your DNA.

I don't know who passed down the rules, and what scientific reasoning there is, anyway, everyone did this in the previous life, without exception.

No ha, this tone, flying as if losing its soul.

If you have to give an explanation, well, science also needs a sense of ritual.

Fortunately, Li Zhi was not a person who asked questions. Seeing that Li Qinzai could not give an explanation, he smiled generously, and then ordered someone to pick up the paper airplane from outside the palace gate.

Looking carefully at the paper airplane in his hand, Li Zhi looked solemn.

"This thing...folded into such a shape can reach a distance of six feet. Jing Chu really has a wonderful idea. Now I believe that the god arm bow, horseshoe and pulley block were not obtained by Jing Chu by chance."

Li Zhi looked up at him deeply, smiled, and said: "Jing Chu has a great talent, I am afraid that it has been accumulated for many years, and now he is shining."

"I'm ashamed, it's really just occasional gains. Some are forced out, such as the magic arm bow, and some are invisible, such as horseshoes and pulleys."

Li Zhi laughed and said: "If you can force Jing Chu's true skills out of you, I'm afraid I will force you a few more times in the future, so that you can actually create something good for the Tang Dynasty and help us in the Tang Dynasty. Consolidate and last forever."

Li Qinzai said: "The foundation of the Great Tang Dynasty depends entirely on the hero's talent and strategy. Whether there are ministers or not will not change the result."

This flattery was really considerate, and Li Zhi's expression became more and more cheerful.

After rejoicing, Li Zhi thought deeply. After a long while, Li Zhi said in a deep voice: "The things I created at the beginning of Guanjing can be used for the people, and they can also be used for the army. Generally speaking, they can be widely used in the army."

"A few days ago, Jingchu was granted the title of Captain Zhiguo, but it's just an idle job. I've really lost my talent. Since I became the throne, I have been thirsty for talents. How can I not reuse Jingchu's great talent?"

Li Zhi suddenly became serious, and said slowly: "Li Qinzai."

"The minister is here."

"Feng Er is the young supervisor of the Military Weapons Supervisor, specializing in making utensils. Every time you get something, you will be allowed to enter the palace without hindrance."

Li Qinzai's heart sank.

It's not that he's hypocritical, he really doesn't want to be an official, and he doesn't mind creating new gadgets for nothing, but when he enters the officialdom, he has to get involved in all kinds of right and wrong, which is completely contrary to Li Qinzai's original intention.

He didn't want to spend his whole life in intrigue, and when he closed his eyes, he felt sad and pitiful when he recalled his life.

Gritting his teeth, Li Qinzai bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I will die. If I am not willing to serve the monarchy, I really don't want to be an official in the court. If I get something in the future, I will not hesitate to offer it to the king. I just ask your majesty to take it back." Fate, let the minister return to idleness."

Li Zhi was quite surprised: "Why didn't Jingchu want to be an official? Did he think the official position was too small? The junior supervisor of the Military Weapons Supervisor was from the fifth rank, isn't it small?"

"I can only appreciate God's grace. How can I think that the official position is too small? It's just that the minister is indifferent and behaves absurdly. Got it."

Li Zhi frowned, and then relaxed his brows.

"A gentleman does not force others to make things difficult. Since Jing Chu is unwilling, I will not force myself."

Li Qinzai was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.

Li Zhi's benevolent mind, now he has seen it again, is worthy of his reputation in history books.

Li Zhi smiled, pondered for a long time, and said again: "Jingchu created these new things and made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. If he has merit, he will not be rewarded. I can't hide my long talk, teaching people that I don't know rewards and punishments..."

"Since that's the case, I will still give you the official position of military inspector and junior inspector. I will allow you not to enter the court, not to enter the bureau, and ignore politics. You should hang up your idle position, but you still have the right to supervise and dispose of the military inspector. How do you do it?" ?”

Li Qinzai was really touched by this.

You are the emperor, and the vassals have to talk and talk, compromise and compromise. Later generations really shouldn't call him "Gaozong", but "Renzong".

Li Qinzai knew that if he refused again, he would really be ignorant of flattery.

Accept it when you see it, Li Zhi said it himself, and it will be regarded as a idle job, just like the "Chief of Zhiguo" who was appointed at the beginning.

Idle jobs are good, I don’t clock in when I don’t go to work, I don’t get involved in disputes, and I don’t have to smile with my boss.Not only that, the power of the young prison was firmly given to him, without any discount.

The original intention of not being a social animal has been preserved.

"Your Majesty is benevolent, righteous and holy, and I thank you for your grace!" Li Qinzai bowed down and bowed.

Shen Guogong's mansion, Gao's family.

Gao Zhenxing was sitting on a deck chair in the yard, the sun was so good, it made him feel lazy, as if he had injected an invisible energy into his body.

The body and mind are bathed in the sunshine from the inside to the outside, and the dark corners of the heart seem to shrink infinitely.

A comfortable smile appeared on the corner of Gao Zhenxing's mouth, and he murmured: "The reclining chair that boy from the Li family sent is really good for use. This kid... will definitely be someone in the future."

Sitting beside Gao Zhenxing, Gao Qi also had a relaxed expression on his face.

After basking in the sun with Li Qinzai at the Li family last time, Gao Qi fell in love with this leisurely lifestyle for some reason.

Now every morning, Gao Qi no longer went out to hang out with his friends, but ordered his servants to move the reclining chairs and sit in the yard.

To learn from others, there must be a low table at hand. There must be snacks and fermented glutinous rice on the low table. The distance between the low tables must be close enough, but not too close.

This is the life a lazy person should have.

Gao Qi copied exactly what the Li family saw and heard, and couldn't wait to enjoy it, um, it really felt very comfortable.

But today was a bit of a surprise, the father Gao Zhenxing had just come out of the backyard, seeing his son's cool look, he kicked the disappointing son away without saying a word, and lay down on himself.

Then, the father and son were both lying in the middle of the yard in a relaxed mood, reluctant to get up and move around when it was almost noon.

The father and son basked lazily in the sun, but were relatively silent.

Like Li Qinzai and Li Siwen, the relationship between the Gao family father and son is obviously not very harmonious. If it is not for the sake of the reclining chair, they would not want to be in the same space with each other.

After a long time, Gao Zhenxing suddenly said leisurely: "I heard that the Li family boy has made a new thing, what is called a 'pulley block', this thing is quite magical, the Ministry of Industry has received more than ten sets..."

"Shangshu Yang Fang was shocked by him, and people before and after praised the Li family boy non-stop. Looking at his posture, he wished he could become a brother of a different surname with the Li family boy. Hmph, old and disrespectful!"

Gao Qi opened his eyes, his expression flashed with astonishment: "The things created by Li Shixiong are so miraculous?"

Gao Zhenxing hummed, and said calmly: "According to Yang Fang, whether this thing is used for the people or the army, it is of great use. It is no exaggeration to say that if it is popularized all over the world, it can save tens of thousands of civilians and corvees for the Tang Dynasty every year." , if this is the case, it is really a great achievement."

With a faint sigh, Gao Zhen said: "That kid from the Li family is a great talent, and also a weird talent, but I underestimated him before."

Gao Qi was dazed for a moment, then said softly: "Father, when Li Shixiong drew the blueprint of the pulley block, the boy was outside his house and witnessed the appearance of this thing with his own eyes."

Gao Zhenxing opened his eyes and said, "Oh? The pulley block was drawn by him on the fly, didn't he think about it day and night?"

Gao Qi hesitated for a moment, and injured Liu Asi. Li Qinzai went to Peking University to pick him up in person, and then suddenly thought of a tool that could save labor. Shi took the blueprint and hurried to find a blacksmith to build it.

A magical tool is available, and the process is so simple and quick.

Gao Qi's expression was complicated, he gestured with his hands unconsciously, and said: "He... just drew it casually, and within half an hour of drawing, he made that thing out."

Lowering his head in shock, Gao Qi still murmured: "He... really just drew it casually."

Gao Zhenxing's eyes shone brightly, and it seemed that the young man was relaxed and indifferent in his mind, and his casual drawing was a magical thing that benefited the country and the people.

Glancing at Gao Qi, who was deeply shocked beside him, Gao Zhenxing sighed: "This son is inscrutable, unpredictable, and very reasonable. He has been ignorant for many years, and now he has gradually shown his edge."

Looking deeply at Gao Qi, Gao Zhenxing said in a deep voice, "Qi'er, I hope for my father that you will have such a day too."

Gao Qi shook his head in disappointment: "The child is far inferior to Li Shixiong. There will never be such a day in this life that I let my father down."

Gao Zhenxing smiled: "It doesn't matter, even if it is not as good as it is, you will still be a good son of my Gao family. As long as you stop getting drunk and messing around all day long, and behave a little more wisely and calmly in the world, being a father is enough to be proud of you."

After a pause, Gao Zhenxing said again: "These few days you seldom go out, and when you go out, you go to find the Li family boy, Qi'er, you are already beginning to change, and as a father, I have also begun to be proud of you."

Gao Qi's eyes turned red. It has been many years, and his father has not praised him for many years. The long-lost "proud of you" is as far away as the stars.

Immediately biting his lips, holding back his tears, Gao Qi said softly: "My child will work hard to change, after years of ignorance, my child should grow up."

Gao Zhenxing patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Stay with the Li family boy more often, he is your good teacher and helpful friend in this life, choose the good one and follow him, my son will surely reach the sky."

Gao Qi nodded with tears in his eyes. He could make his father proud of himself in this life. He suddenly felt that there should be more meaning in life besides eating, drinking and having fun.

Li Qinzai's indifferent and quiet face suddenly appeared in his mind.

Although unwilling to admit it, Gao Qi had to say that the transformation of his life was all due to Li Qinzai.
