Li Mu offered a reward of tens of thousands of dollars for buying shit, and the momentum shocked the whole of Chang'an. As a registration place, Jingdongji has completely made a name for itself. This wave of advertising is more effective than the last time he paid for it. After all, this is paid for.
Shit, a strange thing that has never been heard of before.
The fact that Bai Naoer was Li Mu's father-in-law gradually became known as the incident unfolded.
Needless to say, Lu Zhilin was panicking, and the censors who supported Lu Zhilin that day were also panicked. Although it is rumored that Li Mu did not say that he wanted to retaliate against others, Li Mu could do things like buying shit for thousands of dollars.
He can't do it? If he can spare 10,000 guan, he can spare 20,000 guan or 30,000 guan. Who doesn't know that Li Mu has a lot of money but no place to spend it? If he still doesn't feel relieved after pouring money into Lu Zhilin's mansion, he can do it again.
What to do with your own mansion?
Who can not be afraid!
It is true that a dead Taoist friend will not die a poor Taoist. Now Lu Zhilin has obviously ruined his game, and Wei Zheng has regarded him as an abandoned son. To follow him all the way to the dark side is to be mentally retarded. In order to protect himself, he even talked to Lu Zhilin yesterday
The censors, who shared the same hatred, stayed up all night and wrote hurriedly writing memorials to draw a clear line with Lu Zhilin. Early the next morning, they were presented to Li Shimin's desk like snowflakes.
Li Shimin didn't even look at it and asked Eunuch Gao to pick up these people's memorials and send them to the imperial kitchen to be used as firewood.
Eunuch Gao was sitting on his knees on the ground, picking through a pile of memorials, and suddenly saw a memorial. He burst into laughter, got up, came to Li Shimin's side, and handed it over.
Li Shimin put down his pen and frowned: "Didn't I say that I don't want to read the memorial from the Yushitai? What is this?"
"Your Majesty, this is Lu Zhilin's memorial. He said that his father passed away and begged Ding You to return to his hometown to observe filial piety."
"Is there such a coincidence?" Li Shimin took the memorial and looked at it. It was indeed what Eunuch Gao said. Lu Zhilin said that his father died of illness and begged Ding You to return home.
"Dingyou" is also known as "Dingji". As early as the Zhou Dynasty, there was a mourning custom for children to mourn their parents for three years. "Mencius Li Louxia" records that "Those who maintain health are not important, but those who sacrifice their lives can be important."
", it can be seen that in Confucianism, "Ding You" is one of the key points of filial piety.
After the Han Dynasty, "Ding You" mourning was included in the law. Hiding mourning, having fun during "Ding You", seeking official career before the mourning period, having children, brothers moving away from home and family, getting married, taking exams, etc. were all regarded as "unfilial"
Crimes will be punished severely, ranging from imprisonment to exile or even death.
When officials asked Ding You to observe filial piety, the emperor generally had to agree. Because this was filial piety. If the emperor didn't respect filial piety, what would happen? It would be recorded in the history books, but it would be infamy for thousands of years.
But there are not exceptions. This kind of exception is called "seizing love and reviving". However, the conditions for "seizing love and reviving" are extremely harsh. It can only be done when the country is in danger of survival and this person is really indispensable, and most of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty acquiesce.
Only then can we "seize love and revive" according to the situation. Most of the time, even if the emperor wants to seize love and revive, as an official, he cannot agree to it, because no matter what, as long as he does not observe filial piety, he will not escape the temptation of greed for power and position.
Dislike.
Therefore, Lu Zhilin resigned in the name of "Ding You", and it was really difficult for Li Shimin to refuse. If he refused, there must be a reason, right? Could it be that the emperor wanted his ministers to be unfilial people? Li Shimin's throne was not in the right way, and what he was most afraid of was
Some people say that he is unfilial. He will never dare to bear this reputation. So he wants to take revenge? There is no reason. Lu Zhilin is just an ordinary supervisory censor, not the six ministers. It can be done with him or without him. In fact, it can be done without him.
It does not meet the conditions for reviving love. If Li Shimin insists on reviving love, it will only make the government and the public think that he is holding back his anger for Li Mu. And he had just issued a decree for a lighter punishment. Such inconsistency makes it impossible to
Be convincing.
Li Shimin thought for a long time, but still felt that it was not such a coincidence. He folded the memorial and said, "Could it be that Lu Zhilin was afraid of Li Mu's revenge and used Ding You's name to escape?"
Gao Gonggong said: "Your Majesty, I don't think it is possible at this time. Lu Zhilin's hometown is in Fan Yang, and it will take half a month to send news from Fan Yang to Chang'an. And for important matters such as official Ding You, according to the rules, he can only go to the inn.
Because it is convenient for the officials to verify, and the post station is also the fastest way. If Lu Zhilin lies in this way, it will be very easy to be exposed. Once exposed, it will be the crime of deceiving the emperor and the disaster of destroying the family, so he should not dare."
"Well..." Li Shimin also thought so, but he had to give Li Mu an explanation. After thinking for a while, he said: "Go and check whether this matter is true. If it is not true, Lu Zhilin will be beheaded in the city. If it is true...
Go and inform Li Mu and let him go, Li Mu should understand."
"promise."
Eunuch Gao took the order and left. Li Shimin picked up his pen and continued to approve the memorial. He suddenly smiled and murmured to himself: "I wonder if that boy will be furious when he learns the news... It's a pity that I couldn't see it with my own eyes!
"
When Eunuch Gao left the palace, he first went to the Ministry of Personnel to check the contract, and then went to Lu Zhilin's house to confirm the letter. When he saw that Lu Zhilin died, his father was not sad at all, but overjoyed. He couldn't help but sneer at it. But this was a family matter, and
Lu Zhilin also said he was going back to his hometown Dingyou, so Eunuch Gao couldn't blame him and left Lu Zhilin's mansion directly and came to Zhuluhou Mansion.
Li Mu had "awakened" yesterday, so he couldn't pretend to be comatose anymore. He called Gongsun Kang from the Ministry of Industry and asked Gongsun Kang to build a "wheelchair" according to his instructions. Four wheels were carved out of hard wood.
He made a base, and then embedded the chair into the base with tenons and tenons, and it became a pushable 'wheelchair'. This wheelchair has no tires, but fortunately, the roads in Zhuluhou Mansion are all re-paved with bluestone slabs.
It is flatter than the tile floor, so walking around the house is not too bumpy.
When Eunuch Gao arrived, Li Chongyi was pushing Li Mu for a walk in the garden. Li Chongyi was asked to do so because he had supernatural powers. When he crossed the threshold, he could lift the wheelchair up, eliminating the need to find wooden boards to create a slope.
It's not convenient when others leave.
"Master Hou, our family is here!"
As soon as Eunuch Gao entered the yard, he saw Li Mu and said hello. When Li Mu saw Eunuch Gao, he coughed twice and said, "Eunuch Gao, what brought you here? Didn't you plan to raid my home again?"
.”
"How can it be possible? Lord Marquis, look, I am here alone." Eunuch Gao said with a smile. He came to Li Mu, looked at Li Mu's 'wheelchair' up and down, and praised: "Our family is alive.
This is the first time in half my life that I have seen a chair with wheels. Only the Marquis can come up with such a fantastic idea."
Li Mu coughed again and said, "There's nothing I can do. I'm so weak that I can't walk! I hate that Lu Zhilin, who talked nonsense and confused right and left me like this! I can't let go of him. Who wants to persuade me to let go?"
Over him..." Li Mu snorted coldly and said: "Then I can only say I'm sorry, Eunuch Gao, don't you mean this?"
Eunuch Gao looked at Li Mu like this. Eunuch Gao almost couldn't hold back his laughter. He tried hard to hold it back and said, "Unfortunately, Mr. Marquis, our family really came here for this matter!"
"O Zhongyi, let's see the guests off."
"Okay!" Li Chongyi took off the giant ax behind him, glared, and was about to take action.
Eunuch Gao quickly stepped back a foot and said: "Master Hou, our family remembers that the relationship between the two of us has always been good. If anything happens, our family will always defend Master Hou. Why are you shouting and killing now! Even if you
If you want to drive our family away, you have to let us finish talking, right?"
Li Mu sighed and said, "Now that I'm so good at it, I can only be bullied by anyone, that's all. Eunuch Gao, you tell me, I'm listening."
"That's what happened." Gao Gonggong said: "Master Hou, you said that by coincidence, Lu Zhilin's father passed away. I received the news last night. Today, Lu Zhilin wrote a letter begging Ding You to return to his hometown to observe filial piety."
"Fart!" Li Mu took a sip and cursed: "You think I am a fool? How can there be such a coincidence? I collected night incense here and wanted to splash him, and he died, dad? There are such coincidences in the world.
?I don’t believe it! If there is, then he killed his father, don’t believe it, don’t believe it!”
Eunuch Gao apologized and said with a smile: "Isn't it? Your Majesty doesn't believe it, and neither does our family. Who can believe it, but Lord Marquis, our family went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to check, and the news came from the post station, Lu Zhilin's hometown.
In Fan Yang, this round trip would have taken at least half a month, and he would have been too late to deliver the news. Now it seems that this is just a coincidence."
"I still don't believe it!"
Eunuch Gao continued: "Master Hou, our family has sent people to Fan Yang to confirm the news. If the news is false, Lu Zhilin has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. The crime is unforgivable, and at least he will die. Does your Majesty mean this?
Ding You is an act of filial piety and cannot be stopped. It is better to let him go and wait for the person who confirms the news to come back. If the matter is false, it will not be too late to arrest him, and the Marquis will definitely vent his anger. But if it is true..."
"Is it true that I can't get out of my anger?"
Eunuch Gao smiled apologetically and said: "There is nothing we can do about it. You can't throw excrement on someone's mourning cloth, right? This is a serious matter. Not only will Lu Zhilin's reputation be improved, but your reputation will also be..."
Li Mu was silent, and Eunuch Gao stopped talking beside him. He looked at Li Mu's appearance and secretly made a note in his heart that when he returns to the palace later, His Majesty will definitely ask. If he learns it by then, His Majesty will definitely be very happy.
After spending time with Li Shimin for a long time, Eunuch Gao was very good at handling Li Shimin's bad taste.
After a long time, Li Mu sighed and said: "Since Eunuch Gao has already checked it, I will just believe it. But there are two things I want to say first."
"Master Marquis, please tell me."
"First of all, if Lu Zhilin lies and his father is not dead and he defrauds me, then don't blame me for being cruel. No matter what method I use, I will kill him."
Eunuch Gao hurriedly said: "If this is really the case, you don't need to worry about it, Lord Marquis. It is a capital crime to deceive the king and ignore your superiors."
"I haven't finished speaking yet." Li Mu added leisurely, "Killing him is not enough to satisfy me. I will fill his coffin with night incense and make him stink for eternity!"
"..."
Eunuch Gao didn't say anything. He thought to himself, "It's really damaging. Killing people can only be done with a nod of the head, and the person is dead. You still have to fill other people's coffins with feces. It's really immoral and smoking."
Eunuch Gao had nothing to say. This matter had nothing to do with his interests at all. He was just an errand boy. It would not be a smart move to get involved.
"Secondly," Li Mu said angrily: "Lu Zhilin's father is dead, so he is lucky. Others are not so lucky. I will take revenge on all those censors who supported him the day before yesterday!"
"Ah?" Eunuch Gao was startled. The number of censors who supported Lu Zhilin the day before yesterday was at least sixteen or seventeen. Could it be that Li Muquan wanted to throw shit? This was too exaggerated, but after thinking about it again, it was not surprising.
Yeah, Li Mu can do this kind of thing!
Suddenly Li Mu changed the topic: "...If they don't want to be retaliated, that's fine. After all, they are accomplices, and the principal criminal has escaped. If I vent my anger on them, it will appear that I don't know the difference between right and wrong. I'm not the kind of disrespectful person."
Kind people, give them a chance!"
What kind of trouble are you trying to do again? Eunuch Gao muttered in his heart, but said: "Master Marquis, please tell me, we will help you deliver the message."
"Aren't they censors? They must be good at writing memorials. They can write memorials to impeach me, and they can definitely write memorials to praise me. They impeached me and caused harm to me, so they have to praise me and make up for the damage.
Come back. You ask each of them to write a memorial to praise me and your majesty. What's the content? Just write that the imperial court took back the mineral deposits, which was a wise decision. The marquis of Zhulu is loyal to the country, and his majesty loves the people like a son. On the other hand, the Shandong nobles,
A person behaves like a dog and hides evil intentions. Especially the Shandong scholars Louvre and Zheng Jing are the leaders, with Wei Zheng, Lu Zhilin and others as minions, deceiving the saints, and everyone will be punished."
After Li Mu finished speaking, he looked at Eunuch Gao, who was so shocked that his jaw dropped, and said, "That's basically what I mean, give them an afternoon to give this memorial to His Majesty for a preview, and give one to the craftsmen."
Printing Supervisor, print it out tomorrow, plaster it all over the streets and alleys of Chang'an, and send the newspaper to all states and counties in the world. If they write well, I will not retaliate against them. If they write poorly or are unwilling to write, that is sincerity.
Make things difficult for me and treat my good intentions as bullshit. At that time, I won’t show mercy to anyone!”
"Your Majesty has already said that as long as you don't kill him, let me do whatever you want. I just prepared the night incense for Lu Zhilin and I don't know where to pour it, so I will send it to them door to door to let them feel what it means to smell bad!"
"..."
Eunuch Gao felt chills in his heart. This move was so cruel, so cruel!
After the last battle between Li Mu and Wei Zheng, the power of the Shandong nobles in the court was very small, and they were mainly concentrated on the Yushitai. Now that this incident has happened up and down the Yushitai, morale has been greatly damaged. Wei Zheng claimed that he was ill and stayed at home, and even took advantage of it.
He has a daughter, and almost all of them have been fined for half a year, so he has already lost.
Li Mu asked them to scold him again. Wouldn't this be the same as inciting rebellion? If they scolded him, there would be internal strife. If they didn't scold him, Li Mu would just find an excuse. From the Po family, he became Quan Po, the censor of Yushitai.
Everyone, the smell of excrement floats in every house, and the stench is terrible...
