Dou Ren cried and shouted: "What on earth do you want to do! Just tell me, I will agree to whatever you say. Please don't let me smell this shit again! I'm going to die!" Li Mujian
He was really pitiful, so he reached out to untie the rope. At this moment, Dou Ren struggled desperately. When the rope was about to be untied, he struggled like this——
"ah……"
Li Mu felt sick for a while and even vomited.
…
After Dou Ren took a shower three times, he finally came out to meet Li Mu. He put a dagger in his sleeve, thinking that later, when Li Mu was unprepared, he would pull out the dagger and kill him.
He fell off the beam and made his head covered with shit. He would never forget this shame in his life. He had to kill Li Mu to relieve the hatred in his heart.
Dou Ren was even more angry as he stepped into the study. He saw Li Mu sitting behind the desk, reading Spring and Autumn Annals in a serious manner. It was as if the owner of this room was not Dou Ren, but Li Mu. He had long heard that this boy was arrogant, but he didn't expect it.
He was so arrogant. Even if His Majesty the Emperor were here, he would definitely not do such an unreasonable thing to him due to his seniority. How dare he——
Could it be that Dou Ren thought of a terrible possibility? Could it be that his behavior had reached the ears of the emperor, and the emperor was unable to come forward due to family ties, so he sent Li Mu to beat him?
Dou Ren obviously thought too much. He was a figure who had never appeared in Li Shimin's head. How could Li Shimin send Li Mu to deal with him specifically? But even if the idiot is like this, even if someone wakes him up at this time, he will not
He doesn't understand that once this idea arises, it takes root and sprouts in his heart like a seed.
Dou Ren wandered at the door for a while, and finally gritted his teeth, took out the dagger from his sleeve, looked around, and threw it aside. When he turned around again, his face was still full of smiles: "Zhulu Hou
Are you reading the Spring and Autumn Annals? I also like to read them. I put them on my desk so that I can easily read them. The Zuo Zhuan of the Spring and Autumn Annals contains subtle words about the great meanings and the great meanings——"
Li Mu looked up at him, threw Chunqiu aside, and revealed the small picture album inside. The air instantly became awkward, and the expression on Dou Ren's face was wonderful. He thought to himself that he had hidden this thing very carefully.
Ah, how come he saw it? And how did he know that he was used to wrapping these pamphlets in Spring and Autumn and reading them? Could it be that he had spies in my house?
I have long heard that His Majesty the Emperor has an organization that monitors the world and calls it "bad people". Could it be that this bad person has already infiltrated into my mansion?
Thinking of this, Dou Ren felt a little chill on his neck. Dou Ren took a deep breath and raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
Li Mu only saw Dou Ren's face changing constantly, and he couldn't guess what he was thinking. He was somewhat sorry for what happened just now, and was hesitating whether to express his apology. Suddenly, Dou Ren knelt down!
"What is this doing?" Li Mu was a little confused, but he didn't say anything and just watched what happened.
Dou Ren cried: "Master Hou, I am guilty. I am arrogant, domineering, mischievous, extravagant and lustful - but, I really haven't done any big bad things. Those women, they are all
I bought it with a deed of sale as proof. I have never done anything to force girls into prostitution. Even if I went too far, I don’t think there is any need for Shang Fang’s sword——”
"It turns out he misunderstood."
Li Mu didn't want to take advantage of this and told him bluntly: "Your Majesty didn't say anything to you. I came to you today purely because I don't like you and I'm in a bad mood. I just want to vent my anger on you——"
How could Dou Ren believe it: "Master Marquis, you don't have to hide it. Why did your Majesty punish me? Just tell me."
Li Mu looked at him with squinting eyes: "Hey, what do you mean by this, do you look down on me? I have to have His Majesty deal with you before I dare to come. I just want to beat you, don't you?"
"Master Marquis, I have already guessed it, why do you have to hide it anymore?" Dou Ren said anxiously: "Is it necessary for you to tell such lies? You just want to beat me up? Why are you so bold? I am the emperor's relative.
Uncle, I am the Marquis of Shouyang conferred by the Supreme Emperor. I am not inferior to you in terms of title, and I am far superior to you in terms of relatives. Why do you come to my house indiscriminately and bully me?"
"Well said!" Li Mu stood up and pointed at Dou Ren and said: "You can't understand, right? That's right. I can't understand why Your Majesty bullied me. Do I look easy to bully? I bullied you today.
, just like Your Majesty bullies me, there is no reason. I bully you if I want to, and I come to your house and beat you up. Why? I also tell you that my title has been deposed, and I am nothing now.
Lord Marquis, I am just a Luoyang order——"
"Ah?" Dou Ren was confused. He observed Li Mu's face and saw that he didn't seem to be lying. Suddenly he had the urge to turn around and pick up the dagger. He stood up angrily, pointed at Li Mu and cursed: "You
Just a Luoyang Ling? Haha, you are crazy, little Luoyang Ling, you dare to shit on my head? Believe it or not, I will chop you up, and I will be fine, come on!"
The sound of armor rubbing together sounded, and a group of people appeared behind Dou Ren.
"Catch him!"
No one paid attention. Dou Ren turned around and saw Su Dingfang's face. His expression froze for a moment, and he remembered his current situation. It was Li Mu who led people to break down the door of his mansion and come in. Now the mansion is under his control.
.
His lips trembled, Dou Ren suppressed his anger and said: "You are so young, how can you do such crazy things? So, you quit now, I, I will not say anything at all, let's just treat today's matter as nothing.
Happened, what do you think?"
"It's not that good, it's not that good either!" Li Mu hooked his hand, and Su Dingfang came over and handed him a dagger. When Dou Ren saw it, a chill ran down his spine. This dagger was exactly the one he threw away. He didn't expect that his
Every move he makes falls in his eyes.
Li Mu pulled out the dagger, the silver light was shining, and he made a move. Several captains captured Dou Ren and pressed his hand on the table.
Li Mu grabbed the dagger and thrust it in!
Dou Ren was so frightened that he screamed, "Living Ancestor, I was wrong, what on earth do you want to do!"
"Are you satisfied?"
"Come on, don't hurt me!"
Li Mu threw the dagger aside, put on a smiling face, and said: "I don't have anything else to do. I just want you to write a few posts for me. I will lend you your mansion to set up a banquet. I'm here for the first time. I'm still here.
You have to get to know this local snake in Luoyang, what do you think? Master Hou."
"Yes..." Dou Ren was a little scared by Li Mu's two and three threats. His face turned pale and he didn't dare to talk back at all.
…
Chang'an.
After Li Mu left, the court was indeed much calmer. This kind of calm was different from the calm when Li Mu left. When Li Mu left, although the court was also very calm, when the various forces were doing things, they had to
I was thinking about whether Li Mu would settle old scores once he came back, and how he should deal with Li Mu's methods. Sometimes I thought about it, it would be too troublesome to deal with it, so I probably gave up.
But now, Li Mu has gone to Luoyang, and he will probably never return to the court again, and he can act without any scruples. Li Shimin discovered this keenly, and felt somewhat uncomfortable. He suddenly realized that he could not suppress the
These nobles and nobles were actually more afraid of Li Mu than they were of him as the emperor.
Li Shimin suddenly remembered the Shang Fang Sword. The Shang Fang Sword was given to Li Mu, and Li Mu went to Luoyang. To him, Li Mu was nothing more than a Shang Fang Sword hanging over the heads of these nobles. When he was around, even if he didn't use it,
These people will also be afraid.
Of course they would be afraid because they were the emperor. But the emperor was the emperor after all, and it was impossible for the emperor to fight in person. In many cases, he was timid about many things.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask Your Majesty to decide on the marriage request of the Tubo prince." Yu Shinan, the Minister of Rites, stood up, raised the wat board and said respectfully.
Li Shimin looked at him, feeling a little disgusted in his heart. Yu Shinan had passed through these turmoils smoothly and still remained in the position of Minister of Rites. However, this old boy was not grateful. Instead, he was because of Wang Gui and his eldest grandson Wu.
Ji was defeated one after another, and he began to regard himself as a person. Li Shimin had explicitly rejected the Tubo prince's request for marriage once, but he still brought it up, with a vague feeling that he wanted to see a joke, which made Li Shimin quite unhappy.
happiness.
"The princesses are all under ten years old. What does Ai Qing mean by asking me to marry a young girl to the Tubo prince?"
Yu Shinan did not stand up and said: "Your Majesty, I have two options. Please consider one of them. First, you can accept the marriage proposal from Tubo first, but inform the other party that the princess is still young, so the wedding can take place after the birth of hair. Second,
You can choose a woman of the right age among the imperial concubines."
"No!" The person who spoke was not Li Shimin, but Wei Zheng. Wei Zheng glared at Yu Shinan and said: "Both methods are not feasible. The former is whether the Tang Dynasty and Tubo are in war or in peace. It has not yet been decided. A few days ago, Tubo
They also participated in the siege. This matter has not yet been settled with them. Agreeing to the marriage at this time will make people think that the Tang Dynasty is weak and can be bullied. And it is even more inappropriate to choose from the imperial aunt. The imperial aunt and your majesty are
Peers, if the Prince of Tubo marries the imperial aunt, wouldn't he be of the same generation as His Majesty? The great Tang Dynasty and Tubo have become peers, making the world laugh at them? Your Majesty is the Khan of Heaven, wouldn't the Prince of Tubo become the 'Khan of Earth'?
Yu Shinan, are you old and confused?"
"Wei Gong, what you said is inappropriate. I just made a suggestion. Whether it should be adopted by His Majesty, this is my responsibility. Even if it is inappropriate, the affairs of the Ministry of Rites are not your censor's turn.
You are gesticulating!" Yu Shinan turned back unceremoniously. Wei Zheng frowned and wanted to argue with him. Li Shimin looked at the two fighting cock-like people and began to miss Li Mu again. If Li Mu were here, this kind of thing would still happen.
Do people like Yu Shinan have the right to speak?
Although Wei Zheng's words were sharp, his debate was not as refreshing as Li Mu's. If Li Mu came to confront Yu Shinan, he would not even be able to say anything. Li Shimin still had this confidence.
"Stop arguing!" Li Shimin interrupted the two of them and said to Yu Shinan: "Wei Aiqing's words coincide with mine. Tubo was disrespectful to the Tang Dynasty, and the matter has not been settled. At this time, agreeing to a marriage shows that the Tang Dynasty is weak.
It is impossible to deceive. I cannot be the master of the emperor's consort. All it takes is the Emperor's nod. This matter is over and there is no need to discuss it further."
"Your Majesty!" Yu Shinan stood up again and said: "Your Majesty, think twice! This matter is not only related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, but also the matter of Your Majesty's coronation as the Khan of Heaven. Your Majesty, the Khan of Heaven is the co-lord of the world. If the four
If the barbarians refuse to accept it, it will not look good in history books in the future. When future generations of historians criticize it, they will inevitably feel that His Majesty's 'Celestial Khan' is suspected of forgery. Agreeing to make peace will not only restore peace between the two countries, but also promote the support of Tibet.
Datang, support your majesty, your majesty should think twice about such a thing that kills two birds with one stone!"
"This..." Li Shimin hesitated when he heard this.
Li Shimin really didn't care much about whether Tubo and the Tang Dynasty were at war or in peace, because in his plan, Tubo would fight sooner or later. But now that the coronation of the Khan was imminent, Tubo's support was very important to him.
The so-called "Tian Khan" is not something you talk about casually. It must be recognized by neighboring countries. Needless to say small countries, even if they don't recognize it, it doesn't matter. But a few big ones, such as Tubo and Tuyuhun,
If the Turks, Xueyantuo, Goguryeo, etc. do not admit it, the Khan will inevitably lose a lot of his beauty.
"Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot agree!" Wei Zheng stood up and confronted him, saying: "The competition between countries should be based on strength. If the princess is exchanged for Tubo's support, other countries will definitely follow suit.
Today is the prince of Tubo, tomorrow is the prince of Goguryeo, and tomorrow is the Great Khan Xueyantuo. How can your majesty have so many princesses to make promises? Once this example is started, there will be endless troubles, and your majesty will never agree!"
"Your Majesty, think twice!"
"Your Majesty will never agree!"
The people from the Ministry of Rites and the Yushitai shouted in unison, and Li Shimin's head suddenly swelled three times. He looked at Eunuch Gao and almost blurted out to go out and find Li Mu for me. Suddenly, he saw Eunuch Gao winking and frowned.
I got up, wondering in my heart, could it be that Li Mu is back? Otherwise, what's the point of winking?
Eunuch Gao had no choice but to lean into Li Shimin's ear and whisper in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I just received the news that something happened."
"What's the matter?" Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is that boy Li Mu causing trouble?"
"Yeah!" Eunuch Gao whispered, "He tied up Marquis Shouyang and took over his mansion."
"Who?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that there was such a person as Marquis Shouyang. After staying for a while, he remembered that Marquis Shouyang was his uncle. He stood up and said angrily: "You said he kidnapped
Who did he kidnap? He kidnapped my uncle?"
When all the officials suddenly heard Li Shimin's voice, they were all a little confused. What and who was tied to the head of the royal family?
