Anyone who is not blind can see that Li Mu has reached the limit of his patience.
Rumor has it that the King of Attendants provoked him, and he punched him outside the Tai Chi Palace, leaving him with a black eye and causing the Lord Attendants to take ten days of sick leave.
How can you, a little censor Zhongcheng, have the courage to offend this evil star?
Sure enough, Li Mu snorted coldly. Just when everyone thought he was going to have a fit, Li Mu suddenly laughed and asked, "Wang Zhongcheng, what else can I teach you?"
This smile is terrifying.
Anyone who is familiar with Li Mu knows that this dispute has been settled. If he burst out and vented his anger at this time, the matter would be over. But now he smiled, a person who could not suppress his anger, and set the fire
The air pressure has gone down, and when it breaks out the next day, it won't be so easy to solve.
Li Shimin naturally knew Li Mu's temper. Wang Jingze was a young censor he valued more, and he certainly didn't want to fall into Li Mu's hands. When things got to this point, he rushed here in a hurry, which was far beyond his imagination.
Li Mu was dedicated to doing things for him, so naturally he couldn't let his heart go cold. He wanted to protect Wang Jingze, so for now, he could only make Wang Jingze shut up first.
"Wang Aiqing, you have already had enough problems, please step aside."
"Your Majesty, I still have a question to ask." Wang Jingze took on an "iron-bone" attitude and said firmly: "I know that your Majesty is protecting me, and I also know that after today, I will definitely offend Zhulu Hou. But
I am a royal censor, so I have to say something and ask questions. As for the consequences, I don’t have time to think about it. Even if I did, I would still say it and ask for Your Majesty’s permission.”
"you……"
It has to be said that Wang Jingze's acting talent is first-rate. Li Mu just wrote him a summary of today's dialogue yesterday, but he was able to draw inferences from one instance and perform so wonderfully. This made Li Mu, who acted opposite him, quite satisfied.
That’s talent!
Li Mu took the words and said: "Your Majesty, please let him ask. I am open and aboveboard and not afraid to ask."
Wang Jingze was not polite and asked directly: "The Holy Emperor is not allowed to compete with the people for profit. Therefore, I boldly make a small suggestion to Zhuluhou. I also ask Zhuluhou to stay away from any industry that the common people are involved in."
"I'll beat you up!"
Li Mu couldn't bear it any longer. He didn't have a wat board of his own, so he reached out to avoid the official's wat board next to him, used it as a weapon in his hand, and hit Wang Jingze head and face.
Wang Jingze raised his imperial gift of "iron tablet" to greet him. The ivory tablet in Li Mu's hand broke in response. Wang Jingze seemed to be frightened. He took three steps back, hid behind a censor, and shouted:
: "Zhuluhou, what are you doing? How can you be allowed to be presumptuous in the Golden Palace? As a censor, I just fulfill my responsibilities as a censor. Is there anything wrong with what I said? Zhuluhou is like this, is he trying to eradicate him?
Kill those who are dissident and silence them?"
"Don't hide behind others. If you come out, I will challenge you to a duel!"
Wang Jingze shouted: "You guys bear witness for me, if I die tomorrow, Zhuluhou will not be able to escape my involvement!"
"I'm so angry!" Li Mu broke away from the person holding him and rushed over. Li Shimin suddenly shouted and said: "Li Mu! You are so presumptuous!"
Li Mu turned back to look at Li Shimin, with an expression that was partly aggrieved and partly surprised, and said: "Your Majesty, I..."
"What are you doing!" Li Shimin winked at him, and then said: "Where is the Jinwu Guard? Why don't you capture Zhuluhou?"
Four fully clothed Jinwu guards came in from outside the hall, picked up Li Mu and left.
Li Shimin's face was as dark as water, he took a deep breath and said: "I have answered this last question for Li Mu. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will never compete with the people for profit. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will stay away from the business done by the people. Not only that, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not compete with the people for profit.
In business, we will never use power to pressure others, and all businessmen, big and small, can compete fairly. Wang Aiqing, are you satisfied with this answer?"
Wang Jingze hurriedly knelt down to apologize and said: "Your Majesty is a wise man and loves the people like a son. I am grateful to you on behalf of the people."
Li Shimin ignored him and said: "Well, since it is no longer meaningful for you to love me, I will choose a day to issue an order to establish an internal affairs office to take charge of internal funds, royal property, and internal and external affairs of the palace. I am exhausted, and the court meeting will be held today.
here."
Having said that, without giving the officials a chance to object, Li Shimin stood up, threw up his sleeves and left.
Eunuch Gao shook his fly whisk and said in a sharp voice: "Retreat from the court!"
All the officials saluted and retreated one after another.
When Wang Jingze heard the sound of retreating, his feet went weak and he collapsed on the ground. Suddenly there were two more hands on his arms. Wang Jingze looked up and saw that it was Wei Zheng.
"Wei Gong..."
Wang Jingze didn't know what to say. Once upon a time, Wei Zheng was his idol in life, but now, he has become Zhuluhou's lackey. Wei Zheng and Wei Zheng are strangers and have even become rivals. At this time, he actually reached out to help Wang Jingze. Wang Jingze didn't know what to do.
What attitude did you adopt towards him?
Wei Zheng pulled Wang Jingze up, dusted him off, and said, "You are very good."
"Wei Gong?" Wang Jingze was horrified. Wei Zheng said I was good? If this reaches the ears of the Marquis, will I still live?
Wei Zheng didn't know Wang Jingze's inner activities, so he continued: "I had some misunderstandings about you in the past. I thought you had taken refuge in Li Mu and became his lackey. Now I want to apologize to you. The fault is not yours, but my fault."
Wei Zheng said with emotion: "There was a time when I was just like you, taking things wrong and treating people wrongly. No matter it was the royal family members or nobles, I would not dare to speak out. But now, I... have many unspeakable secrets, but when I see the Censor
I am relieved to have a young and talented person like you in Taiwan. I have a successor."
Wang Jingze was already frightened. Isn’t this bad? What would I do if the Marquis knew that Wei Zheng admired me so much?
"Don't be afraid." Wei Zheng thought Wang Jingze was worried about Li Mu, so he patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Although Li Mu is a bit rogue, he is not an unreasonable person. As long as you are not selfish, and
To be fair, even if he is holding back his anger, he won't really do anything to you."
Wang Jingze forced out a smile and echoed: "Thank you, Mr. Wei, for comforting me. I'm going to resign first."
"Go ahead."
Wei Zheng let Wang Jingze leave. Looking at the back of the young censor, he seemed to see his young self. He smiled bitterly and walked away from Liangyi Palace.
…
The four Jinwu guards took Li Mu to the Tai Chi Hall and closed the door, preventing him from coming out. Li Mu looked out along the crack in the door for a while, and seeing Li Shimin's footsteps approaching, he started shouting: "I'm angry."
It kills me! It makes me angry! It makes me angry!!!”
"I'm going to arrest this guy and put him in a pit! I'm going to block him on his way home, and I'm going to beat him until he doesn't even recognize him!"
"Ahhh! I'm so angry!!"
Just as he was shouting, the palace door creaked open. Li Shimin came in with a sullen face, and Eunuch Gao closed the door behind him.
Li Mu closed his mouth, but turned his head to the other side, not looking at Li Shimin.
Li Shimin walked over and deliberately stood in front of Li Mu. Li Mu turned his head in another direction. Li Shimin didn't mind the trouble, followed around in a circle, and stood in front of Li Mu again.
"Your Majesty, I'll just pretend that I haven't mentioned anything about the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I'm feeling suffocated and angry today and want to go home." Li Mu pursed his lips tightly, looking like he had been wronged but was trying to hold it back.
Li Shimin held back his laughter and made an expression like 'I understand you'. He raised his hand and patted Li Mu on the shoulder, saying: "Of course I know what you mean. But you can't deny it either.
What Wang Aiqing said makes sense. Li Mu, I'm not just talking about you. Your temper needs to change. I know you are a talented person, and it is not a problem to be proud of your talents. But you listen to me like this
If you have to use different voices for a long time, you may develop a willful character."
"Guanzi" has something to say: if you listen to both, you will be enlightened, but if you believe in it, you will be dark. A superior cannot be manipulated by others, but he must accept advice with an open mind. No matter what others say is right or not, listening to it will not make you lose a piece of meat. Why are you so angry?
?”
Li Mu kept silent, as if you are the emperor and you are right, but I can't tell you and I won't tell you.
Li Shimin sighed and said: "You too, can't you discuss this kind of thing with me in private? You have to tell me in the Golden Palace, and you are trying to be clever and blackmail me. It's okay now, cleverness will be mistaken for you, and you will be misled by others.
The fault was found."
Li Mu remained silent, with his chin raised high and his eyes looking at the beams, pretending to refuse to communicate.
Li Shimin couldn't help it anymore, pointed at Li Mu, and said with a smile: "Four words can describe your current appearance. Do you know which four words it is?"
"Look better than Panan!"
"Bah!" Li Shimin spat and said, "I am so angry that I am so embarrassed!"
Li Mu gritted his teeth and said, "I don't want to argue with Your Majesty. It's getting late. I'm hungry. I have to go home for dinner. I'll leave."
Li Shimin grabbed Li Mu's arm and shouted outside, "High cadre!"
"His Majesty!"
"Pass the meal, I have something to say with Li Mu, let's cook something he likes."
"promise."
Li Shimin looked at Li Mu with a smile and said, "I will give you lunch, will you stay and chat with me?"
Li Mu originally wanted to continue acting, but when he saw that Li Shimin cared so much for him, he couldn't bear it anymore. He groaned, bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Shimin laughed again, asked the young eunuch to bring a chair, and motioned for Li Mu to sit down.
"You are not wrong about the Ministry of Internal Affairs. That Wang Jingze is not wrong either. He has done what he should do, and you cannot embarrass him. I will not let you suffer losses. If you should invest, you should invest, and you should share the profits.
Just share it with me and treat it as my gift to you, just don't let outsiders know."
"No!" Li Mu said with a backbone, "I said in front of hundreds of officials that I will not participate in the business of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so I will not participate. Paper can't stop the fire. If I participate, sooner or later
One day the secret will be exposed. At that time, people in the world will not know what they will say about me. If you want to face me, I will suffer a loss, it’s no big deal!"
