"Li Jiancheng has betrayed me all his life, why should I avenge him?"
Li Mu was a little confused: "Then why are you doing this?" Li Mu wanted to say if you were mentally ill, but he held back the words. No matter what, the person in front of him might be his biological mother in this body.
, these words are really disrespectful.
Miss Lu waved her hand gently, and Aunt Rong whispered: "Miss, I just noticed that this boy raised his hand to touch the hem of his clothes several times. There must be a hidden weapon hidden in his arms. If this slave leaves, your safety...
"
"It doesn't matter, let's go," Miss Lu interrupted Grandma Rong. Grandma Rong did not dare to disobey. She glanced at Li Mu, turned and left the stone pavilion, and stood about fifteen steps away, against the wind.
With only a few steps away, it would be impossible for a master like Rong Rong to hear the conversation in the stone pavilion.
"What do you want to say to me?"
Miss Lu said seriously: "Don't you want to know what I want to do? I'll tell you."
"I! No! Believe it!" Li Mu said word by word.
Miss Lu laughed again and said: "Look at you kid, I don't want to tell you. You asked, you asked, I told you, and you don't believe it, then you tell me, should I tell you or not?"
?”
"This..." Li Mu thought about it. He was a bit pretentious. He cleared his throat and said, "Then tell me. Also, I am not a child. I am your brother-in-law."
Miss Lu ignored his stubbornness and said: "Everyone in the world thinks that the Successor Hall was established for the heirs of 'Li Jiancheng'. Including Li Shimin and you, you think so too, right?"
"Isn't it?"
"Of course not!" Ms. Lu denied flatly: "Li Jiancheng cheated on me, and I hated him before it was too late. Why did he want to succeed him? The reason why I gave him such a name was to take advantage of his influence. Facts have proved that I can do it.
Yes, everyone in the world thinks I want to rebel, but my real purpose is not." After a pause, Miss Lu added, "Or, not entirely."
Li Mu chuckled: "Is there still half of this?"
"Of course!" Miss Lu answered very seriously, saying: "If Li Shimin is a foolish king and the people of the world are in dire straits and chaos has become, then I will naturally rebel. When I rebel, one is my son and the other two are the people of the world.
, why can’t we rebel? Besides, at that time, even if I don’t rebel, someone will, not least me. Right?”
Li Mu nodded and said, "That makes sense. Where is the other half?"
"If Li Shimin, the emperor, does well and all the barbarians are convinced and the people live and work in peace and contentment, even if I want to rebel, as you said, I won't be able to succeed. Of course I won't do anything without hope."
Li Mu spread his hands and said: "That's right. The current situation is obvious. You can't succeed. So why does Jisi Hall still exist? You are still doing such a big thing. Aren't you contradicting yourself?"
"If we don't go against it, can't the Jisi Hall exist?" Miss Lu smiled sarcastically and said, "I can't agree with your idea. I just think that if you don't go against it, the Jisi Hall should exist."
Li Mu laughed angrily and said, "Then I am all ears and would like to hear the details."
"Have you read any history books?"
Li Mu didn't know why Miss Lu suddenly mentioned history books, but he still said: "For the imperial examination, I basically read it once. You can tell me that I won't understand."
"I almost forgot that you are the top pick on both lists," Miss Lu laughed again. This smile made Li Mu feel that his top pick on both lists seemed very worthless, and others didn't look down on him at all.
, he took a deep breath, endured it, and urged: "What do you mean, tell me."
"You should know the deeds of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Let me ask you, compared with Li Shimin and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who had greater achievements?"
"This..." Li Mu is a time traveler from later generations. If we judge based on the knowledge he learned from history books in later generations, Li Shimin's achievements are not to say more than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but at least not weaker than him. But for now, Li Shimin
His achievements should not be compared to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. He pursed his lips and considered his words, and said, "Your Majesty has the appearance of a wise king, but compared with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, at present, he is slightly lacking."
"Good," Miss Lu praised, and said, "You can say such things, and I can see that you are not foolishly loyal to Li Shimin. I appreciate this very much."
"I don't care whether you appreciate it or not, you should just go straight to the point."
"Han Wu was evenly matched, all lost, calculated and sued, minted five baht coins, deposed hundreds of schools, only respected Confucianism, resisted the Xiongnu, defeated Fujian and Yue, South Vietnam, Wei's Korea, Dayuan, hollowed out the Western Region, opened silk
He opened a road to the southwestern barbarians and created great achievements for thousands of years, but even such a wise monarch has believed in alchemy for thousands of years, indulged himself in luxury, resorted to militarism, and even caused a witchcraft disaster, implicating everyone. What does this mean? "
Without waiting for Li Mu to answer, Miss Lu replied: "No matter how wise a monarch is, there are times when he is old and foolish. When the power is too great and no one can restrain him, his wisdom will become his conceit and there will be no restrictions."
Power, in turn, brings disaster. The suffering caused by disaster will eventually be blamed on the people."
Li Mu smiled and said: "So you want to be the one who restricts the imperial power? Just now you said that I was so arrogant. Now I think I want to return this sentence. I dare to ask, why? You take Luoyang City
The lives of hundreds of thousands of people are used as pawns. Will such restrictions do less harm to the people?"
"It's better to have restrictions than nothing." Faced with Li Mu's question, Miss Lu didn't panic at all, and she could tell she was well prepared: "And how do you know that I don't care about the lives of the people of Luoyang?"
"Oh -" Li Mu suddenly realized, and said: "I understand, you want to use this matter to compete with the imperial court for the support of the people. Is this the restriction you mentioned? What's the point of this?"
"Of course." Miss Lu looked into Li Mu's eyes and said, "I just want Li Shimin to have a light on his back, so that he never dares to slack off. Let him know that if he doesn't sit on the dragon throne, the world will be doomed.
It's his! Don't you think this kind of restriction is necessary?"
Li Mu felt a little tired. There is never a standard answer to this kind of topic. Everyone has different ideas and everyone can tell a certain truth. Li Mu didn't think he could convince Miss Lu, so he just didn't say anything.
He said, "If you think it makes sense, then so be it. But you should also understand that His Majesty will never allow the existence of the Successor Hall, right? In any dynasty or generation, a force like the Successor Hall would never be allowed!"
"
"Then it depends on his ability." Miss Lu didn't seem to be worried about the threat in Li Mu's words at all, and continued: "You and Li Shimin only saw the threat from Jisitang and regarded it as a thorn in their side, but why didn't you think about it?
, everyone knows the court’s attitude towards Jisitang, why is Jisitang still alive and well? Take the city of Luoyang as an example, high-ranking people from top to bottom all have contacts with Jisitang, don’t they know the attitude of the court?
Why are they willing to risk the disapproval of the world and get involved with Jisitang?"
"Coercion and inducement?"
"Coercion and inducement can work for a few people, but with so many people, if one by one can be coerced and lured, Ji Si Tang's ability is not that great!"
Li Mu couldn't figure it out either, so he clicked his tongue and said, "What else could it be?"
"The answer is very simple." Miss Lu said seriously: "Because the imperial court often cannot count on them. The Successor Hall can help them do many things. No matter how much the emperor loves the people like a son, there is still a gap between him and the people.
There are two levels of officials and officials. In the Jisi Hall, although there are people who come from a wealthy family and have a fortune of tens of millions, generally speaking, we are all common people. What the imperial court cannot do, the Jisi Hall can do, just like this case in front of us.
As for the food you can't raise, if I just say a word, every rice shop in Luoyang City will be full in less than three days, do you believe it?"
"Believe it." Li Mu couldn't help but believe it. All the grain in a radius of 800 miles was in the hands of this woman. She was indeed not boasting. At the same time, Li Mu also understood that when she talked about grain, she was just making a metaphor. She meant that the imperial court
The control at the local level is incomparable to that of Ji Si Tang. No matter how wise the monarch is, how capable the ministers are in the court, or how good the decree is, it is not certain how well the decree can be implemented when it reaches the local level.
.Governing a country is not something that can be taken for granted. It will not change direction at any time just because of the monarch’s idea. Thinking about things is one thing, and doing things are another thing. This is also the foundation for the existence of Jisitang. As long as the court has a strong sense of local responsibility,
If you can't control it as easily as you can, there will always be space for Ji Si Tang to exist.
At this point, it seemed that there was no need to continue talking. Li Mu stood up and said: "It is impossible for me to divorce my wife, and I will not compromise. You have made a wrong calculation. And I also tell you that His Majesty has already
Knowing that you are in Luoyang, Eunuch Gao is here to deliver the message. He asked me to persuade you to submit to the imperial court. You and your son will receive preferential treatment. He is willing to make your son a prince and choose a wealthy land as a feudal state. It is hereditary.
Substitute. I have brought you the words. You can decide for yourself whether you are willing or not. If you are willing, you can come to the Marquis Mansion to find me at any time. If you are not willing, just pretend that I didn’t say anything. But next time we meet again, maybe you and I
It’s impossible to have such a calm conversation.”
"You also know that Li Shimin is lying, right?"
"This is not what I should think about. I am just passing on a message." Li Mu did not dare to face Miss Lu's eyes, because his thoughts were the same as Miss Lu's. Li Shimin was an emperor, and it was impossible for him to accept the surrender of Miss Lu and his son.
The emperor is ruthless, and has always been like this. Li Mu took a deep breath and said: "It's getting late, and I still have to study disaster relief measures, so let's just say goodbye."
"Wait a minute." Miss Lu stopped Li Mu and said, "If you want food, I can give you a chance."
"Say." Li Mu didn't look back: "Don't ask for divorce, it's impossible."
"If you join the Jisi Hall, I can give you the position of helmsman. The helmsman of the Jisi Hall has a lot of power, and it is natural to arrange some food."
"It's a good idea, but let's forget it. I don't want to live so tiredly yet!"
Li Mu raised his hand and shook it, and returned along the original path. It had been almost an hour. If he didn't leave, Dugujiu would lead his men to kill him. Li Mu was not a kind-hearted person. If he could capture Mrs. Lu, he would kill her.
He has nothing against the monks, but since the other party has made an appointment to meet here today, he must have made complete preparations. Bringing this little person may not necessarily bring benefits. It is better not to do anything that is not completely sure, so as not to get confused.
Throw your life here.
Watching Li Mu walk away, Grandma Rong returned to Shiting. Miss Lu was arranging the chess pieces, and Grandma Rong also helped out.
"Miss, this kid Li Mu is full of tricks, you must not fall for his deception."
"A lot of tricks?" Miss Lu chuckled lightly and said, "I didn't see the tricks, but I saw why the Wang family sister likes him. He dares to come alone, and his courage and courage are rare in the world.
"
"Miss, it is true that he has a high opinion of him. The children of several famous families may not be as good as Li Mu."
"Is it just like Cui Yuyan, Cui Yuzheng and the like?" Miss Lu laughed, and Aunt Rong was also a little embarrassed. She whispered: "The Boling Cui family has declined, but there are also several talents in other companies. No,
It’s all like that.”
"How can the animals in captivity compare to the beasts in the mountains and forests? It is really unfair for you to compare Li Mu with them." After putting away the chess pieces, Miss Lu stood up, and Grandma Rong took the shawl and
She, autumn is approaching, and the wind in the mountains is still a bit cold.
"Give the remaining food to the abbot, and we will set off tomorrow."
"You also know that Li Shimin is lying, right?"
"This is not what I should think about. I am just passing on a message." Li Mu did not dare to face Miss Lu's eyes, because his thoughts were the same as Miss Lu's. Li Shimin was an emperor, and it was impossible for him to accept the surrender of Miss Lu and his son.
The emperor is ruthless, and has always been like this. Li Mu took a deep breath and said: "It's getting late, and I still have to study disaster relief measures, so let's just say goodbye."
