But, then again, you can use the edge to control the edge, but the degree must be controlled well. If you go too far and really make Li Shimin anxious, then it will be very bad.
Therefore, Li Mu did not rush, but waited patiently. He was waiting for Li Shimin to get anxious, and at the same time he was thinking about how to deal with it. While he was waiting, he left Eunuch Gao and Sun Fuga in a hurry.
Originally, Eunuch Gao thought to himself that Li Shimin had already given enough face by doing this. As a minister, why wouldn't he be so grateful that he could not help crying and banging his head on the ground? But after waiting for a long time, he just watched Li Chongyi eating steamed buns one after another. Li Mu
There was no reaction at all. Could it be that you guessed it wrong? Is this kid not awake yet?
Eunuch Gao frowned and felt a little puzzled. Judging from his breath, Li Mu should be awake. Could it be that this kid was pretending to sleep? Thinking that Li Shimin was still waiting for his reply, Eunuch Gao became a little impatient and stood up and came to
Beside the fence, he said: "Master Marquis, stop pretending, our family knows that you are awake. Your Majesty treats you badly, please stop it. We have been with your Majesty for so many years, and we have never seen your Majesty think so much about any of his ministers."
, you have to understand the holy will!"
The implication is, don’t be so shameless!
Li Mu's temper suddenly rose. Regardless of whether he thought about it or not, he yawned and sat up slowly.
Seeing that he was moving, Eunuch Gao hurriedly said: "Master Hou, did you hear what we were saying? We have been waiting for a long time, and we have paper and pen. If you want to write, please write quickly. When you are done, we will show it to His Majesty.
Now, you might as well go home early, right?"
Li Mu turned a deaf ear and yawned before opening his eyes. He seemed to be stunned for a moment, then jumped up and cursed: "What bastard brought me to a place like this? I drank with the Supreme Emperor and groaned.
Poetry, I don’t know how happy I am? Who plotted against me? Put me in jail? His grandma! Who is so bold and dares to kidnap me? Come out! Big guy, big guy!"
Li Chongyi put down the steamed buns and responded: "Boss, I'm here!"
Li Mu was furious: "What are you waiting for? Smash this wall down so we can get out! Smash it!"
Li Chongyi didn't care what others thought. After receiving Li Mu's order, he stood up and picked up the ax to smash the wall.
"Wait a minute!" Sun Fujia shouted quickly and said: "Master Hou, this is Dali Temple, you can't smash the wall anymore!"
"Dali Temple?" Li Mu then turned around and saw the speechless Eunuch Gao and the frightened Sun Fuga, and said in surprise: "Oh, why does it look familiar? It turns out to be Dali Temple. Oh, Gao
Father-in-law? Why are you here? And Sun Shaoqing? You are... Oops! It's broken. Could it be that I was drunk and committed murder and arson? Otherwise, how could you be caught here? Tell me quickly.
, who is the master of suffering? I really want to find a way to remedy it!"
Eunuch Gao took the message and said: "Master Hou, let's not pretend to be confused because we understand. We would have known that you were awake. We would have written a note to admit your mistake, so that we could report back. If you didn't write,
How will this matter be resolved? Do you want to stay in this prison forever?"
"I can't understand what Eunuch Gao said." Li Mu continued to act stupid and said, "How can I pretend to be confused while pretending to understand? I just said, something happened, I will find a way to remedy it.
Isn’t this enough?”
Eunuch Gao was also a little annoyed and said: "Master Hou! You are going too far. In front of His Majesty, you keep saying, 'The emperor cannot come to court because I am a wine-drinking fairy'. This is a disrespect to His Majesty."
It's so disrespectful. Your Majesty has a huge mind, and he just asked you to apologize. Doesn't it mean that the Marquis really doesn't understand your Majesty's heart?"
"Eunuch Gao!" Li Mu couldn't be more sincere and said, "I really don't understand where I went wrong. Let's not say whether I wrote this poem. Even if it was written by me, I didn't feel it at all.
How can I be disrespectful to His Majesty? Now, I have no official position and no position. I should not go to court in the first place. Now, Eunuch Gao, what grade of official am I? When I go to court, I am standing on the throne.
Should I stand on the left or on the right? You can’t let me stand in the middle, right? How unbecoming!”
"..." Eunuch Gao was really confused. Yes, he resigned from his official position. The internal fund order is said to be an official, but strictly speaking it is not an official. This... what should I do?
Eunuch Gao finally experienced the feeling of being a 'debating friend of the other party'. He couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, and he was speechless. He was obviously a piece of meat. What should he do if he couldn't explain it?
"Then how do you compare yourself to an immortal?"
"Ha!" Li Mu laughed and said: "This is strange, what do you think? How arrogant! I dare to call myself the first poet of the Tang Dynasty without drinking too much. Is it abnormal to compare myself to an immortal after drinking too much?" he said.
Then, Li Mu patted his chest and said: "Tomorrow I will publish it in the newspaper and say that I am a wine wizard. What's wrong? Is it illegal? If anyone is unhappy, he can call himself the wine king or the wine king. I am amusing myself.
I can’t give in anymore, it’s really…”
Eunuch Gao really couldn't explain it, so he smiled bitterly and said: "My Lord Marquis, I am really convinced by your mouth. Okay, we won't argue with you anymore. Just tell me whether this is written in the book or not."
Write?"
"Don't write!" Li Mu scratched his neck and said, "I'm right, what should I write? It's you who put me in prison, and I want to ask you for an explanation. What crime did I commit?
I'm locked up in the prison." As he said that, he looked at Sun Fujia and said: "Sun Fujia, you are the young minister of Dali Temple, in charge of the Xing prison of justice. I would like to ask you whether I have violated the Tang Dynasty.
Which law, if you can’t tell me! I’m not done with you, so as long as you lock me up, you have to let me in and stay as long as you want!”
Sun Fujia was extremely speechless, thinking to himself, I am looking for someone to provoke someone. When people sit at home, the pot comes from the sky. I didn't send you in, I am just a janitor here, what does it have to do with me?
He opened his mouth to speak, but didn't know what to say. What Li Mu asked was right. You have to have a name for arresting people. Arresting people for no reason is not allowed by the law. This is Dali Temple, who will be responsible?
?It must be him. Who told him to be the Shaoqing of Dali Temple?
Sun Fuga was self-aware and knew that he could not defeat Li Mu. He quickly looked at Eunuch Gao and said, "Eunuch, look at this..."
"That's all!" Eunuch Gao flicked his sleeves and said, "We won't go around him. Let's go and report to His Majesty and let Your Majesty deal with him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Shimin's voice rang out: "No need to complain, I'm listening!"
Eunuch Gao and Sun Fuga quickly saluted. Li Mu saw Li Shimin coming around the corner, but he had no intention of saluting. He just looked at the fence, as if he was a melon-eater and had nothing to do with him.
Changsun Wuji and Wang followed Li Shimin. When Li Mu looked over, they gave him a look, but Li Mu seemed invisible and didn't react at all.
Li Shimin came to the fence with a sullen face, waved his hand, and motioned for the others to exit. Only he, Changsun Wuji and Wang were left standing in front of Li Mu.
Li Shimin looked into Li Mu's eyes and said: "Li Mu, I really don't like you too much. Look at how arrogant you are now! If the auxiliary machine and uncle hadn't tried their best to dissuade you, you think I really wouldn't have killed you.
?If you don’t even climb the steps given to you, what should you do? Are you turning the world upside down?"
Li Mu glanced at Li Shimin, lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, if I don't understand, I just don't understand. I didn't do anything wrong, why should I admit my mistake?"
"You still dare to talk back?" Li Shimin glared at Li Mu and said, "Do you want me to make it clear? You were drunk and crazy today. Do you dare to say that it was not because of Li Ji and his son?" Li Shimin sighed and said, "Li Mu
, I am the emperor, and I have my own reasons for doing things. You are a minister, you can only provide me with suggestions. How I decide in the end is my own business. The so-called sacred heart is arbitrary. This is the principle. You cannot go beyond it.
It is the duty of a minister. If a minister says something, I will listen to it. Does the world still belong to me?"
Li Mu said: "Your Majesty, since you said so, I also admit it. Now that I have said it, I will simply say it directly. There are two reasons why I am depressed. The first reason is indeed because of my adoptive father and his wife.
What happened to my adopted brother. I was born in Mayi. My father was once a halberd commander in the army. He died in a battle with the Turks. He didn’t even have a tomb. Since I was a child, I never felt the connection between father and son.
Family affection, let alone brotherhood. My adoptive father treats me like a father, guiding me and helping me. Although my adopted brother is young, he trusts me and treats me sincerely. Without him, I would not be able to go to Chang'an.
"If you receive a drop of kindness from someone, you should repay it with a spring of water. Now that your foster father and foster brother are suffering injustice, I can't ignore it!"
"My sworn brother Siwen was deceived and took Princess Huanzhu back to Chang'an. However, Princess Huanzhu assassinated Jie Li, which caused a huge incident. It is obvious to everyone who is responsible. But what did your majesty do? Your majesty guarded the righteousness of the minister.
My brother drove me out of Chang'an, just like I was sent to the palace. But the person who caused the figurines, Princess Huanzhu, not only covered up her crime, but also sealed the princess. What kind of truth is this?"
Li Mu's tone became more and more unconvinced and said: "I would like to ask your majesty, since your majesty has decreed the title of princess, it means that my adopted brother is right. Otherwise, your majesty should severely punish the assassin first. Why is your majesty contradictory in his actions? Moreover,
When I begged your Majesty for mercy, Your Majesty also promised that I would not blame him. I believed him to be true and was even happy for my step-brother, but Your Majesty lied to me!"
Li Mu turned his head and looked at Li Shimin and said: "I know that your majesty can say that you did not lie to me. You only said that you would not kill, but you did not say that you would not punish. But I would like to ask your majesty, what is the basis for this punishment?"
The Holy Emperor governs the country with laws, so how can he wreak havoc for personal gain? Since Your Majesty ignores the laws, what is the use of asking for them? Why not abolish the laws from now on, and Your Majesty can do whatever you want. Anyway, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and what he says is the law. Who knows?
What do you dare to say?!"
Changsun Wuji couldn't stand listening anymore and said sternly: "Li Mu, are you looking for death? Why don't you shut up!"
Li Shimin's face was livid, he waved his hands and said, "Don't say too much, auxiliary machine. I want to see what other treasonous and unethical words he can say!"
