Li Shimin was stunned. He didn't expect that Li Mu would choose such a time to complete what he told him. But then he thought about it, wasn't this a good opportunity!
The two of them were old partners. Li Mu gave him a look, and Li Shimin understood. Shen looked at him and said, "Since it's an unkind invitation, don't say anything."
Li Mu secretly praised in his heart and said solemnly: "I must say it! Even if your Majesty punishes me, I will still say it!"
"Li Mu!" Li Shimin was furious and warned: "There are some things that are not your business! I asked you to go to Changlemen to explain Wei Zheng's affairs to the emperor's wife. It has nothing to do with other matters. The trouble comes from your mouth.
Do you still need me to teach you the truth?"
When Zheng Guanyin heard this, she couldn't help but look at Li Mu. Although she was confused, the threat in Li Shimin's tone reminded her.
Misfortune comes from the mouth?
Li Mu has Li Shimin's trust so much, so what can be called a 'disaster'?
Could it be...
"Your Majesty, I request your Majesty to release Crown Princess Yin and her two daughters from the palace."
"Li Mu!" Li Shimin's face became serious and he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be too presumptuous. It's not your turn to take care of my family affairs yet!"
Zheng Guanyin was startled. She didn't expect that Li Mu would really dare to say that!
Why is he doing this?
Is there any conspiracy here?
But when his eyes passed over Li Mu's arm, these two questions disappeared. Now that he was a widow with two daughters, what kind of waves could he make? Li Shimin wanted to deal with him, so he randomly sent a eunuch with a pot of poison.
That’s just wine. He claimed to the outside world that he died of illness. Are there many such examples in the history books?
There was absolutely no need for him to put his son's reputation on the line and let a favorite minister bleed, making such a meaningless situation.
But, why did this boy do this? He is not related to me. What is he... for?
No, I can't hurt him!
This thought came to mind, and Zheng Guanyin said: "Zhuluhou, thank you for your kindness. My daughter and I live well in the palace. Besides, he will not agree."
Zheng Guanyin looked at Li Shimin and said: "This man killed his brothers and stole the throne. He is extremely shameless. Maybe you don't know that he not only killed his brother's entire family, but also took his wife into the palace as a concubine, haha
, what nonsense can you talk to such a person? He left our mother and daughter alive just to show his kindness. It is all a hypocritical trick. It can be deceived for a while, but it will not be deceived forever. The historians of future generations will be grateful.
To speak bluntly, there must be some public discussion!”
"Zheng Guanyin!" Li Shimin's face turned pale after what Zheng Guanyin said. Every sentence in this paragraph was pierced in his heart. It was something he didn't dare to face, and it was the reason why he couldn't sleep all night!
Li Shimin gritted his teeth and his eyes gradually turned red.
A successful king or a defeated bandit has remained unchanged since ancient times. Li Shimin is undoubtedly a king, and the dignity of a king cannot be desecrated. I would rather teach me to betray the world than let the world betray me! When the king's bottom line is touched, any rules will be ignored.
Can't stop him.
Zheng Guanyin's words are like telling a murderer: You don't have to forgive your sins. No matter what you do, you are a sinner and you must die. When these words are heard in the ears of a murderer, a murderer will naturally have a
idea.
If that's the case, then you don't care if you kill one or two more!
Li Shimin glanced at Zheng Guanyin hatefully and picked up the sword on the ground. Zheng Guanyin shrank his eyes and quickly hugged his two daughters. There was fear in the eyes of the two little girls, with tears in their eyes.
.
Li Chengqian was completely stunned. He had never seen Li Shimin look so terrifying.
Li Mu hurriedly rushed over, blocked it with his body, held down Li Shimin's wrist, and shouted: "Your Majesty!"
Li Mu's cry made Li Shimin startled for a moment, and his eyes regained some clarity. He looked at Li Mu's clear and bright eyes and suddenly felt ashamed. Just now, he had taught him not to be a cruel person. In the blink of an eye, he became a bad person.
The role model is really ridiculous.
Li Shimin put the sword on the table, and Li Mu quickly said: "Your Majesty, I once heard you say that when you were young, you took Prince Yin as an example, and you admired this brother who was ten years older than you very much. But later, things changed.
Forced, I had no choice but to stand on the opposite side. You also regretted the things you did back then, but the big mistake has been made and cannot be changed. It is useless to try to undo it. "
"But I can feel that your Majesty has never forgotten Prince Yin in your heart. Prince Yin has always had an irreplaceable position in your Majesty's heart. I often chat with the Supreme Emperor and have heard many stories about your brothers' early years.
Things. Once upon a time, you were brothers and respectful brothers, and there was no resentment. Things in the world are unpredictable, how can it be what people want? However, I heard that do not do evil because it is small, and do not do good because it is small. If something is correct,
, is it just because of the grudge in your heart that you don’t do it?”
"If Your Majesty really doesn't miss the old relationship, why did you agree to let the Supreme Emperor leave the palace to live? In terms of threats, isn't the threat of the Supreme Emperor greater than that of three orphans and widowed mothers?" After saying that, Li Mu turned around and saluted Zheng Guanyin and said;
"Prince Yin, I also have something to say to you. I have never doubted that you and Prince Yin have a deep love as husband and wife. If it were not for these two daughters, you might have been with Prince Yin in Gaoyangyuan. But
Since you are thinking about these two daughters, why don't you want to give them a good environment to grow up? They are locked inside this palace wall and don't see outsiders all year round. With you as your company, they feel depressed. What about them? "
"Young years are fine, but what will happen in the future? When they grow up, will they die in the palace regardless of getting married?" Li Mu said sternly: "As a mother, how can you be so cruel? You can't get over what happened back then.
, do you want to be buried with the future of your two daughters?"
"I..." Zheng Guanyin opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but suddenly her mind went blank and she couldn't say a word. Every word Li Mu said shocked her, and she suddenly realized that after so many years, she actually
I never thought about my two daughters.
They originally thought that the three of them, mother and daughter, had escaped the catastrophe and could live one day at a time, but they didn't realize that the children would grow up one day. As Li Mu said, when you reach the age of hair, shouldn't you talk about marriage?
Let them die of old age within the palace walls?
No matter how strong a person is, he will become soft after becoming a mother. Zheng Guanyin looked down at his daughter, was silent for a while, and said, "What's the use of saying this? He won't agree."
Li Shimin said coldly: "You are right, I will not agree!"
"Your Majesty!" Li Mu was so anxious that he almost jumped up and cursed in his heart, Li Shimin, you old boy is so unreasonable! I'm spitting blood and spitting, and I'm sweating profusely when I say it. How dare you change your mind?
Just changed your mind? Isn’t it time for you to ask me to help you?
Thinking of this, Li Mu also became angry and said: "Your Majesty, you have disappointed me so much! I thought you were a wise king who is not afraid of people's words. The rumors from the outside are just slander against you. It turns out that you are really afraid!"
"What am I afraid of?!"
Li Mu also got angry at this time, and turned on the barrage mode, spitting stars and spraying all over Li Shimin's face: "You are afraid that your throne will be unstable! You are afraid of letting the crown prince leave the palace, and you are afraid of the people's mouth! You don't have it!
Confidence to prove yourself, you simply cannot achieve the ambitions you mentioned, you are not a good emperor at all!"
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Guanyin was shocked. She did not expect that Li Mu would risk his life for him. Doesn't he want to live if he insults the king like this?
Li Chengqian was also confused. He had always heard that Li Mu was an eloquent person. He had heard stories about Li Mu eloquent and eloquent. He had heard stories about fighting with Kong Yingda, challenging Shandong Confucian scholars, and challenging Yushitai. But he had never seen it with his own eyes. Now,
At first glance, it turned out to be really fierce!
Is there anyone in this world who dares to criticize my father in front of his face??!
The naughty child’s eyes lit up, this is what a real man is! The eldest brother is always so unexpected and admirable!
Li Shimin raised his hand, wiped his face with his sleeve, stared into Li Mu's eyes, gritted his teeth and said: "You little bastard, do you still remember how many times you have scolded me? Do you regard me as the emperor?"
Li Mu stopped calling himself 'Chen'. He raised his neck and said, "I don't know, I can't remember! You are too difficult to serve. When you are in a good mood, you tell me that you treat me like a nephew, but in the blink of an eye, you turn against me and start arguing again."
Lord and minister! You are the emperor, you have the final say, who can tell you? You are unreasonable, and you won’t let me say it? You can punish me, but I have seen blood today, so why don’t you give me another blow?
, once and for all! It will be written like this in the history books in the future. Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty could not listen to the loyal advice and killed the loyal and good Li Mu with his own hands. Such a great talent died at the hands of the faint emperor. So sad, so sad..."
"That's enough!" Li Shimin shouted, looked at Li Mu helplessly, raised his finger and pointed at him, and smiled helplessly.
"Sister-in-law, have you seen it? This is my Zhuluhou, the biggest scoundrel in the world. There is nothing I can do against him!"
Zheng Guanyin pursed her lips and said, "Your Majesty, if you let our mother and daughter out of the palace, I promise..."
Li Shimin waved his hands, sighed, and said: "Sister-in-law, there is no need to say anything, I don't need any guarantee. What Li Mu said makes sense. If I am confident that I can be a good emperor, I will naturally not be afraid of what others say. If you are afraid of what others say, you are a coward."
It’s too late today, so the emperor’s sister-in-law will stay for one more day. Tomorrow I will send someone to help the emperor’s sister-in-law pack her things and leave the palace.”
Zheng Guanyin did not expect that Li Shimin agreed so readily and did not punish Li Mu. She didn't know how she felt. In her heart, she would never admit that Li Shimin would be a good emperor, but seeing that he was so generous
With such a broad mind, a thought emerged in his mind, maybe he could really do it.
Li Shimin turned his attention to Li Mu again and asked, "I agreed to let you, the emperor's sister-in-law, mother and daughter leave the palace. But after they leave the palace, you have to give me an explanation of where they will live and how they will be resettled."
