Chapter 193
Li Mu came out of the palace gate, rode a horse, and recalled the conversation he had just had with Li Shimin.
In fact, after traveling through time and truly entering the social environment of the Tang Dynasty, many people gave Li Mu a different feeling than the original image in novels or TV series.
Take Li Shimin as an example.
The time periods for selecting TV series related to Li Shimin can be roughly divided into the following types.
At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, a typical example of "The Legend of the Heroes of the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty", Li Shimin in the teens to twenties was not the protagonist, but his image was probably the feeling of a wise and powerful "young marshal".
Next is before the Xuanwu Gate Incident, which focuses on the entanglement between Li Shimin and Li Yuan’s father and son, Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji’s brothers.
Later on, Li Chengqian and Li Tai grew up, and the two brothers competed for the throne. How painful Li Shimin was, how uncomfortable he was, and finally had no choice but to abolish the crown prince, etc.
There are also some special perspectives, which are about Wu Zetian. How Wu Zetian entered the palace, how she got favored, how she was thrown into the cold palace, and how she hooked up with Li Zhi. Less than a year after Li Shimin died, the two of them rekindled their old love... The TV series with perspective here, the screenwriter's heart seems not very pure.
These periods basically ran through Li Shimin's life. The only period that seemed relatively empty was the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin ascended the throne, and after Li Chengqian and Li Tai grew up, the two fought for the throne, which was during this period.
That is the period when Li Mu traveled through.
When Li Mu participated in setting the background of "The Legend of the Tang Dynasty", he also specially consulted some information. From the information, he saw some inconsistent records.
For example, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian and his son.
After Li Chengqian ascended the throne, he was immediately made the crown prince, which shows his love. Moreover, Li Yuan did not fight back in the end. According to legend, it was also because of Li Chengqian. According to the "Old Book of Tang", Li Chengqian was talented and was given the name Chengqian by Li Yuan, which means to inherit the imperial career and lead the Qiankun.
But why did it reach the level of conspiracy to rebel? The historical records are not very detailed.
The two brothers Li Tai and Li Chengqian are both compatriots. There are also records in the "Old Book of Tang" that the two brothers were very friendly. Li Chengqian never did anything to harm his younger brother, and Li Tai never wanted to seize the throne. Empress Changsun was sick, and one of the brothers prayed to the Buddha, praying for his mother sincerely, and there was no sign of disagreement.
But after Empress Changsun’s death, things changed.
After Empress Changsun passed away, Li Chengqian became lame. How could he be lame? Historical records are unknown. The next year, Li Tai began to write "Guo Dizhi", which was a turning point. In order to write "Guo Dizhi", Li Tai set up a museum in the mansion, which was equivalent to that of the Tiance Mansion back then, except that one was literary and the other was martial. The two brothers completely broke up. Li Chengqian sent someone to assassinate Li Tai, and Li Tai also gathered all officials to write letters, and there was no room for relief.
What happened during this period is unknown.
The time period when Li Mu traveled through was this "unknown" time period. The characters he saw in his eyes were not the cold words recorded in historical books, but living people.
Li Shimin is 32 years old. He is a wise ruler, but he has no airs. He will take the initiative to visit his ministers' residence. He will be curious about things he has never seen before, and will be happy to take advantage of them. He will laugh at people he hates. He is a living person.
Wei Zheng is not like the character in the TV series, he is completely a positive character. What he does also has his starting point and the interests he cares about.
The so-called loyal ministers of this era are more loyal to their own family than to be loyal to the court.
These things cannot be seen in later historical books. Because the history of a dynasty was written by the next dynasty after the destruction of this dynasty. Even witnesses of history cannot understand it, let alone people hundreds of years later? Therefore, the things in history books are actually no different from novels in essence. Because no one knows what was going on at that time.
Li Mu agrees deeply with this.
A typical example is something he experienced before his sudden death. One day he was watching a short video and saw many people leaving messages saying, "The things that happened in 1999 can't be kept" / "Don't talk nonsense, have you forgotten the confidentiality agreement signed in 1999?"
As a person who has been in 1999, in Li Mu's memory, there is nothing surprising about 1999 except for the scattered end of the world.
However, on the Internet twenty years later, many people born in the 2000s, even those born in the 1990s and 1980s who have experienced 1999, will also ask curiously what happened in 1999.
In just twenty years, witnesses began to doubt themselves.
What's more, people from a dynasty have sorted out the historical books of the previous dynasty? The credibility of some of the authenticity of the facts is probably random.
Li Mu didn't know whether the Tang Dynasty he experienced was the Tang Dynasty in later generations. Perhaps, the Tang Dynasty had a "butterfly effect" due to his time travel. He only believed what he saw and used his personal experience as a judgment. The time travel was very strange and could not be explained. He did not want to use the fresh life in front of him to compare the cold words in the historical books.
So, Li Mu decided to take revenge!
The censor who wrote the letter today must teach him a lesson no matter who he is!
Li Mu came out of the imperial city and took Dugu Jiu straight to the heaven and earth, and sent Li Chongyi to Jingdongji to find Ergou and asked him to inquire about the news.
Ergou's efficiency is getting faster and faster. Li Mu is with Wang Ou in the sky and earth. Before he finishes drinking a cup of tea, Ergou is already riding his donkey and following Li Chongyi to report.
When Wang Ou saw Ergou coming, he stood up and wanted to avoid it. But Li Mu grabbed him. Seeing Li Mu holding Wang Ou's hand, Ergou quickly turned his head aside. In fact, Ergou had known about what happened to Wang Ou and Li Mu for a long time. But this kind of thing cannot be said, it's just a matter. Ergou is living a good life now and doesn't want to die.
Wang Ou couldn't make it away, so she had to sit down and hide her left hand that Li Mu had pulled under the table, and flipped the account book on the table with her right hand, her face getting redder and redder.
Li Mu played with Wang Ou's tenderness, as if nothing had happened, and looked at Ergou. Ergou quickly bowed and replied, "Report to the Marquis, the matter has been found out. The person who impeached you is called 'Lu Zhilin', who was from the Lu family of Fanyang. His uncle is the Shandong scholar "Louvre" who was driven out of Chang'an by His Majesty. The news he received was also the ones we scattered. After he learned the news, he went to Wei Zheng's mansion. Then he wrote a letter to impeach the Marquis. In the opinion of a villain, this matter has nothing to do with Wei Zheng's friend!"
Li Mu frowned and said nothing.
Wang Ou did look at Ergou for a few more times. In fact, Wang Ou's subordinates had already investigated who impeached Li Mu. However, Ergou was able to receive so much news in such a short time, which shows that Ergou's subordinates were not just a good meal.
When they meet with each other, Wang Ou can't help but feel a little crisis. At the same time, Wang Ou is also proud of Li Mu. He is worthy of being a man he likes, and it's different to take action. Yuan Tiangang has been engaged in "bad people" for more than ten years. In terms of the efficiency of inquiring about the news, he is not as efficient as the "paparazzi" who has been tinkering with less than a month. This shows how powerful Li Mu is and how stupid Yuan Tiangang is.
But this is just a love interest. In fact, paparazzi is not as good as a "bad person". Paparazzi seeks information by relying on gangsters, idle men, maids and servants in various prefectures, old ladies who talk about their wives. The rumors are still good, but these people cannot contact the real private matters.
The "bad people" are intelligence organizations with court backgrounds. They don't know how many "secret spies" they have installed, so the nature of the two is different.
Of course, these two groups of people are not as good as those under Wang Ou. The snake spirit behind Wang Ou has been passed down for thousands of years and has been hidden in the dark. All dynasties and generations have known that there is such an organization, but they don’t know where they are, and it is even impossible to determine whether it exists. Moreover, the snake spirit organization is very strange. They seem to have no intention, do not rebel or cause trouble, they just hide in the dark, staring at everything sinisterly like a snake.
No one knows what it collects intelligence and does. But its strength is indeed unquestionable.
Let me put it this way, the three intelligence forces in Chang'an City, which add up the "bad people" and "paparazzi" are not as good as the snake spirit. Because both of them have traces to follow and can be guarded against, but the snake spirit seems to be everywhere and nothing can escape its eyes.
When Lu Zhilin impeached Li Mu, Ergou has only found out that Lu Zhilin had been to Wei Zheng's mansion. However, Wang Ou had already found out that Wei Zheng was furious and asked Wei Yingluo to kneel down.
Don’t underestimate this extra message. Many things are the difference in this news.
Wang Ou knew that Wei Yingluo had friendship with Li Mu, otherwise why would she rather kneel down than say that she would break up with Li Mu?
If I hadn't heard that Li Mu had a brain disease, Wang Ou would have to eat this vinegar.
But now the news of Li Mu getting sick has been spread, and Wang Ou has also inquired about it. It was indeed Sun Simiao who was diagnosed with him. He was too late to feel sorry for his lover, so he didn't have time to be jealous.
As for Lu Zhilin, Wang Ou is already dead in his heart. It is easy to make people suspect Li Mu if he takes action for a month or a half and cannot get in touch. Isn’t that easy to kill a censor who has no power?
Everyone in the Snake Spirit is a good assassin. Not to mention, the Snake Spirit's poison is the best in the world. There are at least a hundred kinds of poisons that make Lu Zhilin die without realizing it, and it is not a matter at all.
Li Mu didn't know that Wang Ou would think so much. He heard that Lu Zhilin and Wei Zheng were in contact. After thinking about Li Shimin's words, he made a judgment and said, "This matter should have nothing to do with Wei Zheng. Today the censor impeached me, but he didn't say anything... Forget it, no matter whether it is related or not, let him go this time."
