Seventy thousand guan! All the officials took a breath. They all knew that Li Mu could make money, but no one expected it to be to this extent! How long had Li Mu been in Chang'an? Two months? Three months? An average of 20,000 guan a month. Even if
It’s not so fast to mint money!
But thinking about the Gongbufang rising from the ground, all the officials had nothing to say. Things were placed there. Such a big square would definitely not be able to be built without this number. As for what Li Mu said, no one doubted it.
Because it's so easy to verify.
Zhao Yuanlang was driven crazy, completely forgetting where he was, and roared loudly: "You lied, you have such a good intention? It must be your stepfather, Tang Jian, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who deceived the superiors and helped others.
You! Li Mu, you are a villain who sells your mother for glory, you can hide it from the world, but you can't hide it from my eyes. Even if you die today, I will expose you!"
As soon as these words came out, Liangyi Palace was silent again.
Zhao Yuanlang, you are seeking death!
Throughout the dynasties, the world has been governed by filial piety. Zhao Yuanlang insulted Li Mu's mother today. This sworn hatred is definitely a life-and-death situation. And under the current situation, is it possible for His Majesty to touch Li Mu? The unlucky one must be Zhao Yuanlang.
Don't forget, there is also Tang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Although Tang Jian is known as a good man, he was a prince in three dynasties and had a prominent family.
Thank you for your hard work. You can just attack Li Mu. After all, Li Mu is young and has an unstable foundation, but you brought Tang Jian with you. Tang Jian is a first-class Duke, how can you allow a small censor to speak nonsense?
"Old minister..." Tang Jian is the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Today, three provinces and six ministries are having a meeting. He is naturally here. Hearing Zhao Yuanlang's words, he immediately left work. Before he could say a word, he heard a scream in his ears. He turned around.
At first glance, he saw that Li Mu had already knocked Zhao Yuanlang down and was riding on top of him to hammer him hard.
Li Mu's strength was obtained by forging iron, which is much better than those who lifted iron in the gym in later generations. It can be said that he looks thin when he is dressed, but he is muscular when he is undressed. Zhao Yuanlang is a civil servant and is extremely weak. How can he withstand his punch?
, Li Mu gave him a cold blow and fired an electric cannon. At that time, three teeth flew out and he fell on his back.
Li Mu stepped forward, straddling Zhao Yuanlang who was about to get up, and struck him in the face with a left hook and a right hook, hitting his flesh. In a few breaths, Zhao Yuanlang passed out.
At this time, Li Shimin and Baiguan realized what they were doing and hurriedly came to start a fight. Liangyi Palace was in chaos. Li Mu was really angry, and no one could try to persuade him. He used his two arms to hit each other, and the person who started the fight also suffered.
After picking up the seedlings, he received a few blows and did not dare to step forward.
"Jinwuwei!"
Li Shimin shouted loudly, and a group of forbidden troops poured into the Liangyi Palace. Four armored guards came forward and snatched the dying Zhao Yuanlang from Li Mu's fist.
"Li Mu, you are so presumptuous!"
Li Mu stared with a pair of red eyes and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Zhao Yuanlang insulted his mother. This is an irreconcilable hatred. I will kill her!"
"I will explain clearly the marriage between my mother and the Minister of Tang Dynasty in front of all the officials today."
Li Mu was wheezing and said to the officials: "That day in the Turkic camp, Tang Shangshu noticed that the Turks were evil-minded, but he had no choice but to be placed under house arrest and the news could not be conveyed. I was captured because I was a local hero transporting grain, and the Turks saw me
Since I was from the Tang Dynasty, he asked me to cook for the Tang envoy, so I had to meet with the Tang Dynasty Minister. The Tang Dynasty Minister had no choice but to entrust me with a heavy responsibility. I knew in my heart that the Turkic camp was heavily fortified, and I would have escaped death if I escaped from the camp. If I were alone,
I would never frown. But I remembered that I still had an old mother at home who needed to be taken care of. Therefore, although I felt humiliated by being captured, I still wanted to survive, just because one day the army would come and save my life so that I could go home and provide for my mother.
!”
"I informed Tang Shangshu of my concerns, and Tang Shangshu said: A man is born to do great things. Fighting opportunities are fleeting. If we miss them, I don't know how many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will be killed or injured. Seeing my hesitation, Tang Shangshu promised me that if
Unfortunately, I died, and my mother, Shangshu of the Tang Dynasty, raised me."
With tears in his eyes, Li Mu said: "I was grateful for Tang Shangshu's great righteousness, and agreed to Tang Shangshu's request. Tang Shangshu wrote the letter inside my robe, and I risked my life to escape from the camp to deliver the letter. On the way, I encountered a Turkic scout and was hit by an arrow in the back.
, the blood flowed non-stop. With the remaining will, I hugged the horse's neck and ran for hundreds of miles. Only by chance did I meet the Ranger General Su Dingfang, who conveyed the news. I still have scar marks on my back. If you don't believe me, I
You can take off your clothes and examine your injuries!”
Li Shimin had heard Li Mu say these things, but when he heard it again, he still couldn't help but burst into tears. Li Mu and Tang Jian were able to make such a decision under such circumstances, which can really be called loyal.
"My dear, there is no need to be like this. I know your injury and will keep it in my heart."
Li Mu continued: "When Dingxiang City was besieged later, I had already received the order and rushed to Chang'an with my family. But after I learned about the danger in Dingxiang City, I resolutely returned to defend the city. When my wife learned the news, she was determined to fight with me.
We lived together and died together, and only my mother was kept secret. I was worried that my mother would be homeless after arriving in Chang'an. At that time, I had not yet met my adoptive father, General Li Ji, and there was only one person in Chang'an who knew Tang Shangshu. Therefore, I
Please escort the soldiers to send my mother to Tang Shangshu’s house to settle down. I hope he will still remember his original promise and take care of my mother."
"Your Majesty, I had no choice at the time. How can I sell my mother for glory?!"
"My dear, I feel wronged."
"I had a fierce battle with my adopted brother in Dingxiang City. I have already mentioned the events before, so I will not go into details. After nearly a month of delay, my mother thought that I was dead, so she committed suicide and was rescued by Tang Shangshu. Later.
I arrived in Chang'an and brought my mother back. Up to this time, I still didn't know about the relationship between the two. It was Tang Shangshu who came before His Majesty, who came to me to talk to me about matchmaking. I respected my mother's choice and your Majesty's grace, so I agreed to the marriage.
How can this be considered selling one’s mother for glory?”
"What's more, there were three chapters of agreement between me and Tang Shangshu. First, my mother remarried to him, and I asked him to treat her kindly. Second, I and my mother were from a humble background, and he needed to restrain the Tang family members and not look down on my mother.
, Third, I said that although I am from a humble background, I still have the backbone and a face, and I must not bear the name of selling my mother for glory. Therefore, if Tang Shangshu marries my mother, I will never accept any form of love from him in the future.
It is also for this reason that when I was building the Ministry of Industry, although I was often short of money, I never applied for imperial funding once. I was just worried about such a bad reputation. I have already done this. I don’t know why there are still people who want to insult me, or even insult me.
Chen’s mother!”
Li Mu gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, I swear today that Zhao Yuanlang and I will fight to the death. Today he escaped with his life. Tomorrow I will step on his door and kill this thief with my own hands. Let his blood splash five steps!" As he said that, Li Mu glanced at him.
Baiguan said one by one: "If anyone dares to mention this matter again in the future, no matter who it is, I will fight him to the death!"
The civil and military officials in the court were all bewildered. No one expected that Li Mu would have such a big reaction. But after listening to him tell the whole story, most people could understand. Selling one's mother for glory is such a bad reputation that no one would admit it. What's more,
What Li Mu did has nothing to do with this. It is normal for such a loyal and filial person to be angry when he is slandered like this.
Tang Jian also said: "Your Majesty, everything Li Mu said is true. I am deeply favored by the emperor and dare not express my merits. However, Sun is my second wife and I can't bear the verbal insults of such villains. Please punish me."
Kill this man!"
Tang Jian is a well-known good man. In all his years in the court, he has never attacked anyone, and the word 'kill' has never come out of his mouth. Today he actually used the word 'kill'
, obviously moved and really angry.
Li Shimin was originally a little unhappy because Li Mu mentioned "hand blade" in Liangyi Palace, but seeing that Tang Jian was doing the same, he had to make a statement.
"Come here, kill Zhao Yuanlang! Behead him immediately!"
Wei Zheng took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty..."
"Xuancheng doesn't need to say more."
Wei Zheng did not retreat, he raised the wat board high and said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Yushi's excessive words are indeed inappropriate, but the crime does not lead to death. Zhulu Hou beat and scolded him, even if he really wanted to kill him,
We have to go through Dali Temple to make judgments, so how can we kill him at the palace gate? Killing the official is the act of a foolish king, and your Majesty cannot do it!"
When Li Shimin heard the word "hunger", he hesitated on his brows, but when he saw Li Mu and Tang Jian, he still insisted: "Xuan Cheng, step back. I have already spoken on this matter, and there is no reason to take it back."
Wei Zheng paid a deep courtesy and said loudly: "If your Majesty insists on doing this, I am willing to hit the pillars and die to remonstrate!"
"this……"
Li Shimin couldn't help but feel embarrassed. There was Tang Jian on one side, Wei Zheng on the other, and Li Mu on the other. How should he choose?
After thinking for a long time, Li Shimin still chose to be a wise king and said: "Put Zhao Yuanlang in prison and let him be tried by Dali Temple on another day."
Tang Jian glanced at Wei Zheng, raised the wat board, and said, "Old minister..."
"Okay! That's it for now. You are all my important ministers. Don't force me!" Li Shimin said sternly. Tang Jian and Wei Zheng looked at each other and retreated.
Li Shimin glanced at Li Mu who was standing in the center of the hall, snorted, stood up, shook his robe sleeves, and said: "Retreat from the court!"
With things like this happening today, the court meeting will definitely not be able to continue. Hundreds of officials left the Liangyi Hall, and there were many discussions in twos and threes. Some people thought Li Mu was domineering, some thought Wei Zheng was meddling in other people's business, some thought Zhao Yuanlang was doing his own evil, and still others
I feel that since he is a public speaker after all, he can be forgiven for being too extreme.
Li Mu was suffocating in his heart, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, Eunuch Gao came back and said: "Prime Minister of Fang, Prime Minister Cen, Wang Shizhong, Six Ministers, Zheng Guogong, Zhuluhou, Your Majesty summoned us to discuss matters in Taiji Hall."
Li Mu stopped and looked back at Wei Zheng, who was already walking towards Tai Chi Hall, and gritted his teeth bitterly. As a time traveler, Li Mu had heard about Wei Zheng's deeds and admired his courage in admonishing him. However,
This does not mean that he will become a bitch. After arriving in Chang'an, Li Mu has already made up his mind not to believe in historical records or the characters given in TV series and novels, but only to believe in his own eyes.
If you mess with it, that's it. Love whoever the fuck you want!
