Li Shimin spit out the potatoes in his mouth, took a few mouthfuls, and complained: "If this tastes like this, it can't be eaten!"
"Your Majesty, can you eat it as a fruit? This is grain, and rice cannot be eaten raw." Li Mu looked like "you are an amateur", as if he was mocking Li Shimin for not working hard on grains.
Li Shimin made a big fuss, but couldn't refute it. In fact, he really didn't distinguish between grains and grains. With his background, he had been served by others since he was a child, and he could eat whatever he wanted. How had he ever cared about this?
matter.
"Stop talking nonsense, tell me, how do you eat this food?"
Li Mu thought about it 'seriously' and said: "I think that everything is boilable, so I will try cooking it first."
"Yes, let's try cooking it!" Li Shimin handed a chewed potato to Eunuch Gao and said, "In the imperial dining room, what do you call this?"
"Potato."
"Yes, boil this potato for me!"
Eunuch Gao took the potatoes and was about to go do it when Li Shimin changed his mind and said, "Forget it, I'll go there myself."
Eunuch Gao was startled and hurriedly stopped him, saying: "Your Majesty, no! The imperial dining room is the place for cooking. How can your Majesty lower your status? No, absolutely not!"
"Why not?" Li Shimin glanced at the living man in the corner and said loudly: "Although I am the emperor, logically speaking, I am not suitable to be in the kitchen, but if I am a commoner of the country, it is not inappropriate. In ancient times,
Shen Nong tasted all kinds of herbs and got the medicine. Today, I will take the lead and try to see if this potato is edible. Why not?"
Li Mu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is absolutely right. Such acts of loving the people can only be achieved by a wise king. Your Majesty's high moral integrity is the epitome of emperors for all generations. As your Majesty's minister, I can't find this kind of potato."
I also admire him very much."
The king and his ministers looked at each other and said nothing. Eunuch Gao also understood. He glanced at Qi Qi Lang who was busy writing, and he didn't know whether his brain was short-circuited or flooded. He actually asked: "Qi Qi Lang, write this down."
Is it done?”
Qi Julang raised his head, glanced at the three of them blankly, nodded, and said, "Write it down."
Li Mu walked over and took a look, but Chu Suiliang tried to stop him, but he snatched him away. After just one glance, he almost jumped up with anger. He saw the writing on the living note: "...the king and his ministers are putting on a show to invite the name of the world."
, the eunuch asked, "Do you remember it?" The answer was, "I have remembered it."
"You bastard, why are you so ignorant? What's your name? Don't leave until you're on duty. Wait at the gate of the palace. I'm going to beat you up!"
"Li Mu, you are being presumptuous again. This is my daily husband, who has quite good calligraphy. His father is Chu Liang. I appointed him to Xie Zhi Courtyard a few days ago. You have seen him."
"Master Chu?" Li Mu was startled. He looked up and down at the wood-like guy in front of him. Could this be Chu Suiliang? He looked about twenty-eight or nine, so he was pretty much the same.
"Are you Chu Suiliang?"
Qi Julang nodded and said dullly: "Exactly."
"Why are you so closed-minded? I and Your Majesty, those words came from the bottom of my heart, and I didn't lie. What did you write? Isn't this ruining my reputation and that of Your Majesty?"
Chu Suiliang thought for a while and said: "I am just recording it based on the facts. This is what you said."
"Wrong!" Li Mu patiently argued with Chu Suiliang and said, "Whether this is what we said has nothing to do with you, a little living man. Let me ask you, what does a living man do?"
"The one who wrote the notes on daily life." Chu Suiliang replied, and then added: "The notes on daily life must be recorded truthfully, and not a word can be changed."
"I know, you don't need to tell me." Li Mu snorted and said, "But you, you are not a qualified householder? The things you recorded are all waste paper and of no use at all!"
Chu Suiliang finally lost his dull expression and said angrily: "Why do you say that, Marquis Zhulu? I have recorded everything based on the facts, and not a single word has been adulterated!"
"Ha!" Li Mu sneered, pointed at Chu Suiliang's nose and cursed: "You still have the nerve to tell the truth? Did you record the conversation between me and His Majesty just now? We said so much, but you only recorded it.
A few words." He put the daily note on Chu Suiliang's face and asked: "Look how many words you wrote? We are talking about potatoes. Do you have the word potato on it?"
Chu Suiliang argued: "That's how the daily notes are. They should be concise and concise. If every sentence is recorded, does nonsense also need to be recorded?"
"? You've got the point!" Li Mu's skill at talking can't be matched by Chu Suiliang's, and his momentum has long been stabilized: "How do you know which sentence is nonsense and which is not nonsense? Besides, you also said you want to
It is a factual record, but have you done it? What you wrote obviously contains your subjective judgment. Do you think His Majesty and I are inviting names? Do we just invite names? Who are you to judge for future generations? You can't
Do descendants think that His Majesty and I are of the same mind? In your eyes, His Majesty is always wrong, and I am also wrong everywhere? Who are you qualified to judge? Who do you think you are?"
Chu Suiliang was an honest man. He had never heard such words before. His neck turned red with anxiety and his voice became louder: "Zhu Luhou, how can you insult others?"
"I insulted you? Hey, I haven't beaten you yet!" Li Mu rolled up his arm net sleeves, but Eunuch Gao pulled him back. Chu Suiliang was trembling with anger: "A scholar can be killed but cannot be humiliated. I will kill him today."
"You fart!"
Chu Suiliang sobbed: "Can't you kill me even if you hit me?"
"Is that enough to kill you? I said you were slandering His Majesty and humiliating the pillar of the imperial court, that is, I am the Marquis. Your crime is too great. You have evil intentions and intend to rebel. I would like to ask your father what kind of crime this is.
Should he be beheaded or exiled, should he be killed or should he be punished by the three tribes of Yi!"
"I, I..."
Li Shimin couldn't stand it anymore that an honest man was forced to do this. He said, "Li Mu, please don't embarrass him. I don't think it's a big deal. He's just more upright."
"Your Majesty," Li Mu said sternly: "You are too lenient. This is not upright. I secretly thought that this was the name of inviting future generations!"
Li Shimin asked in confusion: "Where do you start talking about this?"
"Your Majesty, this is the sourness of literati. It sounds nice to say it, but he is just a clerk. He is not as good as a military recorder and joins the army. Anyone who can write can do it. But he is wanton.
Evaluate the emperor, evaluate the ministers. Is it appropriate for the ministers to discuss the emperor and the subordinates to discuss it? Is it etiquette? The minister of daily life is to remember things. Just remember things. Is it useful for you to evaluate? Where is the daily note? Later generations will have their own opinions. Someone will read it carefully.
, some people read it badly, it is for future generations to see, do you need your guidance? You added these comments in order to show that you are an upright person? I am so embarrassed, boy, you are not qualified yet!
