Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, you are already an adult... Come here, give Zhuluhou a seat."
Eunuch Gao brought over a chair, and Li Mu thanked him and sat down, but he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. What did Li Shimin say? I'm sorry we've known each other for so long, but you still treat me like a child?
Although he thought so, he didn't dare to say it out loud and just sat down.
Li Shimin looked at Li Mu and said, "Li Mu, I sent someone to investigate you."
"Ah?" Of course Li Mu had guessed it a long time ago, but he still showed appropriate surprise. He stood up in panic and bowed: "I am scared. Did I do something wrong? Your Majesty, please clarify."
"Sit down." Li Shimin said: "Don't panic, you didn't do anything wrong. I was just a little more suspicious, so I sent someone to check. But you can't blame me. You kid, you always act unexpectedly, really.
It is difficult not to make people suspicious. As you just said, I am the emperor and should be responsible for the world. Since I have decided to reuse you, I need to know your background. Otherwise, if you are a member of the family, it will be detrimental to me."
Li Shimin spoke so straightforwardly, but Li Mu didn't expect it. He was stunned for a moment, and then Li Mu asked: "What did your Majesty find out during the investigation?"
Li Shimin shook his head and said: "The people I sent have visited Mayi City, from the county magistrate to the neighbors near your home. They have searched everything. There is nothing unusual. The people I sent are my confidants. They
I have no reason to doubt the news that came back. But because of this, I am even more confused. You are just a seventeen-year-old boy, why do you have such great abilities? Others have been studying since childhood, and they may not be able to do it at seventeen.
What’s the point of making a poem well and being able to pronounce it well?”
"Never mind the horseshoes, to improve the plow, you must have someone who is familiar with it. The people I sent came back and said that you are in Mayi City and don't have any land. You should not be familiar with plowing. So what did you do?
To improve the plow?"
"Besides these, there are many things. Another example is reading. Today you quoted the classics without making any mistakes. You even have your own unique insights into the classics of saints. If you say that you are learning now and selling it, then the world
You are such a poor student. How come you have a photographic memory and are so talented?"
Li Mu was horrified, secretly cursing himself for being stupid and forgetting to hide his clumsiness. He thought that as long as he couldn't find evidence, everything would be fine. But now it seems that he still underestimated the ancients. After all, Li Shimin was Li Shimin, how could he not notice the difference.
What made Li Mu regret the most was that he ignored an issue. This was the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was the emperor, and the emperor could be unreasonable. When he suspected a person, he didn't need evidence, and he would kill him as soon as he asked, without any reason.
In an instant, cold sweat covered his back. Li Mu swallowed his saliva and felt worried. Now that things have happened, he can only keep speaking harshly.
"Your Majesty, I... I can't explain it. I didn't lie. Whether I was writing poetry or reading, I just took a look at it and understood it... This, isn't this okay?"
Li Shimin said: "I didn't say no, I'm just envious."
Li Mu's heart dropped when he heard these words. Boss, you are so naughty. I can't stand being so scared!
"I asked Qin Tianjian and Yuan Tiangang made a divination for you. He told me that you are a person with Su wisdom. You were captured in the Turkic camp, escaped to report the news, and experienced life and death, which may have inspired your Su wisdom.
Li Shimin looked at Li Mu and said: "I don't believe this statement at first, but all your performances now make me believe it. Li Mu, tell me honestly today whether you are a person with Su Hui."
?What’s going on with the so-called Su Hui?”
Li Mu thought to himself, you have said so, I dare say that I am not the same? His mind suddenly changed and he said: "Returning to your majesty, I don't know what Su Hui is, but after I reported the news, some unexplainable things did happen.
On my body."
"What happened? Tell me in detail!"
Seeing Li Shimin's curious eyes, Li Mu had no choice but to make up and sell them now, and said: "I stole a horse and broke out of the Turkic camp that day, and was shot by a Turkic scout. This matter... did I say anything about it?"
Li Shimin thought for a while and said: "It seems that I have said it before. It doesn't matter if I haven't. I already know about it, so let's continue."
"Well...well, Your Majesty, you know that some of the Turkic arrows are smeared with medicine, and one of them will cause people to feel weak and dizzy after piercing the body..."
Li Shimin listened impatiently and said: "Tell me the important things!"
Li Mu complained in his heart, Boss, I want to pick out the important things, but I have to say something, don't you? Do you think it's so easy to make up a story? Suddenly, a light flashed in Li Mu's mind, inspiration came, and he said: "Your Majesty, what do you want me to say?"
The arrow hit was poisoned. But no one knew it at the time, and I didn't realize it myself. General Li Jing decided to take advantage of the fog to make a surprise attack. Then news came that our army had won a great victory and was chasing the remnants of the Turks. So they marched
The deputy general manager then asked the infantry to escort the wounded soldiers back to Dingxiang, and the rest of the people joined in the pursuit."
"On the way back to Dingxiang, I got sick of the poison."
Li Shimin frowned and said, "Poisonous hair?"
Li Mu nodded solemnly and said: "What I can remember now are only some vague fragments. I was lying on a bullock cart, as if I was tied up, and couldn't move. I wanted to take a sip of water, but I couldn't even speak.
I had no strength at all. My mind became more and more dizzy, my consciousness became more and more blurred, and finally I couldn’t remember anything.”
"My last thought is that I am worried about my mother. I am afraid that if I die, I will have no one to take care of me."
Seeing Li Mu's emotional words, Li Shimin was also very moved and said: "I can see that you are a most filial person."
"The miraculous thing happened at this time. I lost consciousness, but I didn't die. Like other wounded soldiers, I was sent to Dingxiang. Just when I was approaching Dingxiang, I woke up, and my body
The wound has healed!"
Li Shimin was shocked: "Aren't you poisoned?"
"This is the magic." Li Mu said seriously: "I don't know how I was cured of my poison!"
After all, Li Shimin was not easy to fool, so he asked doubtfully: "Is it just that?"
"Of course not!" Li Mu continued: "From that day on, I will occasionally have a strange dream. No, it cannot be said to be a strange dream, it should be a continuous dream."
Li Shimin asked: "What did you dream about?"
Li Mu smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, my dream is too ridiculous, so I'd better not talk about it."
Li Shimin was already impatient: "I asked you to speak! Say it quickly!"
Li Mu sighed helplessly and said: "As I said, I hope your majesty will not think that I am ridiculous... I dreamed that I lived in another world, and the people in that world wore different clothes from ours in the Tang Dynasty, but
The words are almost the same. In that world, there was a big bird flying in the sky. People could crawl into the belly of the big bird and wander around in the nine heavens. They called this big bird 'flying chicken'."
"Flying chicken?" Li Shimin didn't understand at all, and said: "A person is wandering in the nine heavens in the belly of a 'flying chicken'?"
Li Mu grimaced and nodded seriously: "That's true. In my dream, I also crawled into the belly of a 'flying chicken'. This 'flying chicken' is not a real 'chicken', nor is it a 'bird.'
When I touched it with my hand, I found it was made of iron and was very hard. It was like a house made in the shape of a bird, with windows. It flew into the sky and you could see the clouds outside through the windows."
"Absolutely absurd! Absolutely absurd! How can iron fly? Even if it is made into the shape of a bird, it is impossible for it to fly!"
Li Mu quickly stopped and said: "Your Majesty clearly knows that this is just my dream. I have already said it is very ridiculous. I won't say it anymore, so as not to taint your Majesty's ears."
"No, keep talking. I think it's very interesting. Who created the 'flying chicken' you mentioned, and it has such great power?"
"Well..." Li Mu had already entered the state, and he spoke seriously, "In the dream, I was also a commoner, with no status. I couldn't see the person who made the 'flying chicken'. I just heard people say that it seemed to be called 'Flying Chicken'"
Airline stewardess'."
"Stewardess?" Li Shimin murmured: "Is there anyone with the last name 'Kong'? I don't know. Could it be that this 'flying chicken' is flying in the sky, and this person is a woman, so we respectfully call her 'stewardess'"
?”
Li Mu immediately made a look of admiration and said: "Your Majesty clearly knows that this should be the case."
Li Shimin looked at Li Mu and asked, "What else is strange about the world in your dream?"
"Hmm... If we want to talk about something strange, there is one more thing." Li Mu said: "In that world, everyone has a 'hand chicken'."
"Hand chicken?" Li Shimin frowned and said, "What kind of chicken is this? Why are there so many chickens in that world?"
"I don't know, but they all call me that."
"What does the chicken hand look like? What is it used for?"
Li Mu drew the outline of a mobile phone and said: "It's just a square, flat box, does it work... Let's put it this way, your majesty is in Chang'an, and I am in Luoyang. With this 'hand chicken', you can talk to each other, and you can
See each other.”
"Isn't this the case of clairvoyance and ears?"
Li Mu nodded seriously and said: "Not bad, almost."
"It is indeed ridiculous, no wonder you refused to say it." Li Shimin said, suddenly looked at Li Mu deeply and said, "Did you learn all your talents in the dream world?
Li Mu smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, how is this possible? When I am in a dream, I am like a bystander who has penetrated into someone else's body. I have no way to control that body. I can only listen to what he says and see what he sees.
, that is, I can’t even say a word. And I don’t have this kind of dream every day, only four or five times so far. Although I dream about that world, the time before and after is not continuous. Sometimes I am a
Children, sometimes when I am a young man, it is as if I am reminiscing about the past... Ah! Your Majesty, is this the Su Hui that Taoist Yuan mentioned?"
