Li Mu pursed his lips and thought for a long time, but couldn't think of any words of comfort, so he could only say: "The Supreme Emperor has passed away. Your worries today are of no use. Now His Majesty has proven that he will be a good emperor. Maybe he will be a good emperor."
Among them, this is the choice made by God, the choice made for the people. How can human heart resist God? Your Majesty, I don’t think you have anything to feel guilty about what happened back then. Both sons are excellent. As a father,
It would be difficult for anyone else to make a choice. It is unfilial for them to kill each other as brothers. Now that you have reached this age, why not just let it go and live as happily as you want for the rest of your life? Wouldn't it be wonderful?"
Li Yuan was silent for a long time, then said: "You are right!"
"In my life, I was promoted to the nobility at the age of seven. Because Empress Dugu was my aunt, Emperor Wen favored me. I prepared myself thousands of years ago and became the governor of Qiao, Long and Qi. I was so honored and favored that Emperor Yang came to the throne and wanted to attack Goguryeo.
The people refused to listen, and the people complained, and the world fell apart. So with the ambition to rescue the people and save the common people, they raised their troops in Jinyang and competed in the world. It only took five years to bring peace to the world, which can be considered as a reward for the wish."
"Now that I am old and my country has been entrusted to a relatively reliable son, I have nothing to worry about. I will be as happy as I can for the rest of my life."
Li Yuan smiled and said to Li Mu: "Hurry up and build the heaven and earth. When it is completed, I will move there to live. I have lived enough in this deep palace and forbidden courtyard."
Li Mu quickly agreed.
Li Yuan thought for a while and then said: "I have never done business and don't know the rules. As a businessman, wouldn't it be difficult to call me me?"
"Uh..." Li Muxin said that this was not nonsense, but he still replied: "Business is about harmony and wealth, and equal transactions. Naturally, the Supreme Emperor cannot do business, so we decided to use a pseudonym. Didn't you already choose a name?
Is your name Li Ka-shing?”
"Yes, yes, I have decided on a name, Longxi Li family, Duke Jiacheng..." Li Yuan suddenly slapped his thigh and said: "I have decided that when I move to heaven and earth, I will no longer call me, so as not to show my flaws.
."
Li Mu thought to himself, he didn't expect that the Emperor was also a role-playing enthusiast, but he didn't know how long this freshness would last.
"How long will it take to complete the project? I'm afraid you don't know if you're grounded these days, right?"
"When I return to the Supreme Emperor, I know it clearly. The person in charge of supervising the work comes to report to me every day. According to the current progress, it will be almost completed by the end of the month. However, if the Supreme Emperor wants to move there, a separate courtyard needs to be built, so
The people who serve us can live there. The place is sufficient, but the construction period may be extended."
Li Yuan frowned slightly and said: "Except for the palace people who have followed me for many years, I plan to give them some money and send them out of the palace. There should not be many people, maybe more than ten, can't they live here?"
"That's okay, but other courtyards still have to be built. After all, these people don't match your status as the Supreme Emperor, and it's not suitable to live in the same place." Li Mu had already seen that Li Yuan was in a hurry to open the business, and said: "You can build it slowly, no
Affecting business opening.”
"That's good," Li Yuan was very happy and said, "If I'm not awake when you leave tomorrow, you can go to Eunuch Chen to get the money. I've melted a lot of gold vessels. You can use them, and the rest can be exchanged for
Turn it into copper coins, which will be convenient when doing business in the future."
"I obey the decree."
It seemed that what he wanted to talk about was over, and he suddenly fell into a subtle embarrassment. After a long time, Li Mu sneezed and said, "Your Majesty, should we go down? The frost is cold and the dew is heavy, and I am afraid that you will catch the cold."
Li Yuan sneered and said: "You are afraid that you will catch the cold. I am wearing thick clothes, so I am not afraid. If you can't stand it anymore, call someone."
Li Mu chuckled and said, "I don't dare to call the palace servants of Taiji Palace, so I'd better call you."
"I have given you the ability to summon the people of the Taiji Palace. Stop talking nonsense. You come and summon them. I cannot afford to lose face!"
Isn't that what happened? Li Mu had no choice. Who made him the Supreme Emperor? He cleared his throat, pulled his neck and shouted: "Oh, my feet are sprained, please help me..."
The next day, in the court hall.
"I, Jiang Daoyuan, report to the Marquis of Zhulu that Li Mu, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, uses official tools for private purposes, recruits craftsmen from the Ministry of Civil Affairs, seeks personal gain, and builds high-rise buildings for the rich and powerful in Longxi. Please give your Majesty's sanction!"
"I, Sun Wenwen, report to Zhuluhou that Li Mu, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, privately owns a wine shop and competes with the people for profit. Please give your Majesty's decree!"
"Your Majesty, Chen Danqiu, is suing Lu Hou. Li Mu, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, despises literature and education, despises the world's scholars, and clashes with the Imperial Academy to offer wine. Kong Yingda, the queen of Confucius, caused Confucius to faint and be bedridden for several days. Please, Your Majesty.
Holy Judgment!"
"My minister, Zhao Qing, is suing Zhulu Hou and Li Mu, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry, for gathering people to cause trouble and abusing lynchings. I ask for your Majesty's sanction..."
Obviously, Li Yuan's words completely angered the powerful family.
Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes. Yesterday, they both expected that someone would impeach Li Mu, but they did not expect that the impeachment would be so fierce. One Yushi Zhongcheng, two Yushi,
It was rare for an Imperial College chief to have four people impeach a minister at the same time since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
It can also be seen from this that the influence of aristocratic families in the court. Li Mu whipped Cui Yuyan that day. If the incident had not happened suddenly and Li Shimin dealt with it decisively, he cut the mess quickly and ended the incident, dragging it on for a few days. The result would be
What it is, is unknown.
Li Shimin could not sit idly by when the imperial censor was impeached. He immediately ordered someone to send Li Mu to the palace. Li Mu was drunk last night and had just woken up to have breakfast with Li Yuan. He was slurping and drinking porridge when he was dragged away by Eunuch Gao.
Li Yuan knew it well, and just took a look at it and continued to drink porridge, as if he was not worried at all about Li Mu's ability to cope with this crisis.
This was the first time Li Mu attended a court meeting since he was granted the title. He had spent all his money in the past. Along the way, Eunuch Gao briefly talked about what had happened, so as to avoid being overwhelmed when he suddenly went to the palace.
Li Mu stood in the main hall, with civil and military officials standing on the left and right. He glanced at the four people standing in front of him, saluted Li Shimin, and said: "Your Majesty, Li Mu, Marquis of Zhulu, is here to see your Majesty. I don't know why your Majesty has summoned me.
Ask."
Li Shimin pointed to the four people in front of him and said: "Li Mu, four people are impeaching you now. As the saying goes, listening to both will make you aware, but believing only one thing will make you dark. I can't listen to their one-sided words. I called you here to confront you. Today I will give you
You have the opportunity to defend yourself in court. I put my words first. Whether you are guilty or not today depends on how both sides argue. If you succeed in defending yourself, it is a false accusation. I will punish them. If you defend yourself
If you don't succeed, I will punish you. All my dear friends are witnesses."
The ministers promised, three censors and one chief registrar, all gearing up and staring at Li Mu with a fierce look in their eyes!
