Chapter 243
Li Mu blinked and shook his head and said, "No!"
"Nonsense!" Li Shimin said angrily: "You clearly told me that you could make glass. In the prison that day, didn't you show off to me that you made colorful glass bottles? And the perfume you presented to the queen, and the mirror, aren't they all made of glass? Why are you lying with your eyes open?"
Li Mu was speechless and thought to himself, do you know that I would ask, what would I not answer if I didn’t answer?
Li Shimin was a little embarrassed when he saw Li Mu's expression. He coughed lightly and said, "I'll tell you, your colorful glass bottle will be sent to the palace. I'll want it."
"Why!"
"Um?
Li Mu blurted out and said that he realized that he had said the wrong thing. He sweated coldly and quickly went back to find a supplement. He stuttered and said, "Your Majesty, you are rich all over the world and can't always worry about robbing the things you stole from your ministers, right? I am still a child!"
Li Shimin snorted coldly and said, "After you are a lord, you say you have grown up, why are you pretending to be a child now? Yu Gong, I am the emperor, you are a minister, and your subject should offer treasures to the emperor. Yu Privately, you call me uncle, and you are my son and nephew. Isn't this son and nephew filial to uncle? "
Li Shimin picked up the mirror, looked at Li Mu, and said, "Just talk about this mirror. As soon as you invented it, you thought of giving it to the queen and the four concubines. The filial piety is commendable, and I am relieved, but why didn't I have a single one? The perfume last time was the only one left me. I think you did it on purpose! You kid hate me, and you have good things to leave me alone, Li Mu, tell me yourself, I hate my king, and my nephew hate my uncle, are you loyal and filial?"
"This..." Li Mu's eyes rolled and he thought to himself, if I admit it, wouldn't you be eaten by you in the future? I have always been pursuing a worker, but I didn't come to be a slave for Li Tang. Thinking of this in my heart, my stubborn temper also came up and said, "If Your Majesty says this, I will simply admit it. You also know that I would rather be a farmer in the border than a powerful person who is willing to bow his eyebrows and serve the powerful. I do anything, seek respect and fairness. Since I came to Chang'an, I can say this, except Your Majesty, I have to have this fairness and respect in front of anyone. Take yesterday's incident as an example. Wang Shizhong cheated me, and I went out of the Taiji Temple, and punched him and covered his eyes. "
Li Shimin was shocked and said, "No wonder Wang Gui took his leave today. It turned out that you beat him! Li Mu! Wang Gui is still a person in his seventies. How can you do it? It's too much!"
Li Mu raised his head and said, "I don't care about that! I have a relationship with his younger brother Wang Pu because of the 'battle and horse dispute'. Last time I poured feces, he went with me, so I treated him as my own. Just as he found me, he said that the road was not good and could not transport coal. I thought, since I took the lead in this matter, I have the responsibility to take care of it to the end. In addition, after drinking a few glasses of wine, I casually told him. Who would have thought that Wang Shizhong gave me this guy.
I don't have any shame, I'll just keep your favors quietly. I'll give me a few tens of thousands of yuan to express my intimacy. Wouldn't it be over? He just got the cheap and wanted to behave well. He was in his seventies and learned some generous speeches from those dog censors. If I hadn't been in front of His Majesty, I would have beaten him at that time. In the end, I couldn't get enough of myself and pulled me into the water. Who is this? It's so bad that it's so smokey! If I don't beat him, wouldn't I be so angry that I vomited blood again?"
"You!" Li Shimin sighed, "Li Mu, as your uncle, I have to say a few words to you. Your father passed away early, recognized Li Ji as his adopted father, and lived together for a short time, and he could not teach you anything by word of mouth. As your uncle, I should take on the responsibility of teaching you. No matter how old you are, since you have been crowned, you are an adult and a man. A man must have a mind and a big mind to do great things. I!"
Li Shimin pointed at himself and said, "Take me as an example. My paper is not worth mentioning. When it comes to martial arts, it is enough to be praised. Among my powerful generals in the Tang Dynasty, they can rank in the top three--"
Li Mu noticed that when Li Shimin said the "top three", his expression was extremely stinky. Looking at his expression and listening to his words, it was clearly saying that I am the first, and Li Jing, Li Ji, Li Xiaogong is not as good as me.
Li Mu quickly squeezed out a complimentary smile and flattered: "In my heart, Your Majesty is the emperor of the ages. The emperors of later generations will definitely regard Your Majesty as an example and follow his example."
"Don't just praise you kid. You know what I am like... I have been four years since I ascended the throne. Apart from the fact that I have achieved some achievements in destroying the Turks, my civil and military achievements have not made any achievements. Is there anything worth imitating for future kings? And I also..." Li Shimin paused, smiled, and said, "I won't say anything. Although I don't have any political achievements that I can make, I believe that sooner or later will."
Li Mu nodded quickly.
Li Shimin continued: "What I want to tell you is that in this world, I am not the best in literature and martial arts. Why can I control so many talents in the court? The answer is the word "mindness."
"Wi Zheng provoked me, angered me, and even scolded me, but I didn't kill him. Why? Wei Zheng was just a censor. He said casually that he could not control what I did. If that was the case, what should I do? I want the world to know that I have the measure of tolerance. As for right or wrong, future generations will comment on it. I believe that if I do well, the historians in the future will not say that I am wrong, and the people will not say that I am wrong."
Li Mu blinked his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, have you ever thought about killing Wei Zheng?"
"have!"
It was so happy that Li Mu was speechless.
Li Shimin smiled and said, "But I just don't kill him, so I am me and the emperor."
Li Mu rolled his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, you have no meaning to me to tell me about these ways of being kings. I am not the prince, and I will never become an emperor, and I am not willing to be an emperor. I will tell the truth. Seeing that your Majesty is angry, I don't want to be an emperor. I can't understand why I have to be angry if I live for a lifetime. Just say that Wang Gui, he is right when he is seventy? He can cheat people when he is seventy? I gave him a good idea. He will repay me with kindness and revenge, but I can't beat him up? Now that his Majesty is wise and treats me like my nephew, I will be spared from being punished. What if it weren't? My life, and even my family's life, may be completely dead because of Wang Gui's words! Your Majesty thinks that I am not right to beat me, but I think that I am beaten lightly. I should pour manure into his well to let him know how stinky my mouth is!"
Li Shimin was furious and scolded: "You are not taught! If you keep thinking this way, how can I entrust you with important responsibilities in the future?"
Li Mu spread his hands and said, "Your Majesty, when did you ask Your Majesty to entrust your majesty with important tasks! Your Majesty, have you misunderstood? I have always been very lazy. I want to have winter vacation, but you and these people don't want to let me go. If I had nothing to do, I would have gone to the suburbs to build a house in the suburbs, so why would it still appear here?"
Li Mu ignored Li Shimin and whimpered, thinking: "Your Majesty, the life I want to live is to have a piece of land, and then build a house designed by me, plant it and feed it to support the family. When I am fine, I will tinker with some novel things, sell it for some money, and subsidize the family. If I can't ask for anyone, I don't need anyone, so don't ask me for peace and stability, and be happy, and live my life in a simple way, have more children, both men and women, so that's enough! The Supreme Emperor gave me a letter to Xiaoyao, and I thought the Supreme Emperor was really smart and had a torch. My pursuit was just the word "Xiaoyao! It's too complete in summary!"
Li Shimin was furious and stood up and pointed at Li Mu and cursed: "Absurd! A real man should carry a seven-foot sword and make achievements! You have a lot of God-given ability, but you just want to be at peace. You... Get out of here, I don't want to see you!"
"Oh." Li Mu was not afraid, and responded, saluted Empress Changsun again, turned around and was about to leave.
"Stop it for me!"
Li Mu had no choice but to stop, turned around and said, "What else does Your Majesty have to do?"
Li Shimin glared at him angrily, and after a long time, he calmed down and said, "I'll send you the colorful glass bottle tomorrow."
"Not give!"
"You guys are arrogant!" Li Shimin jumped and said, "After talking, you still didn't say why you just don't respect me! Are you going to be angry with me?"
Li Mu said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, I haven't finished saying the words just now. I will say it briefly. What I mean is that whoever treats me will be good to me. Even if I am not good to me, I will be very polite. But if anyone treats me badly, I will remember it in my heart. Your Majesty still remembers that I was in prison last time, didn't I say it? I originally planned to use it for the method of making glass for the treasury, but after Your Majesty put me in the prison, I changed my mind and didn't want to present it to Your Majesty.
.If Your Majesty has to ask for it, then I can't say anything. I just remember in my heart that Your Majesty robbed me of something. I will secretly write a book of "Journal of Zhulu Hou's Daily" to leave it to my descendants and grandchildren, so that my descendants and grandchildren will be careful of your descendants and grandchildren, so as not to inherit the habit of robbing things by Your Majesty. If you rob me of your descendants and grandchildren, you can't stand it. You can't stand it. After all, even if you have a wealth of thousands of dollars, you can't stand the royal family robbing like this. Your Majesty, don't you?"
Li Shimin was really overwhelmed by the slap, and roared: "Great Man, come and take my sword. I must chop him today - no, no, I don't want to see him for a moment. You, you chop him for me!"
Eunuch Gao's forehead was sweating coldly, and he thought to himself, Your Majesty, let's stop making trouble, I didn't do anything, if I do it, I will really chop him up, I will let you chop you up!
Eunuch Gao closed his eyes, looked at his nose, nose and heart, and became a wooden man without any reaction.
"High-ranking officials! You don't listen to me anymore!"
"I don't dare." Eunuch Gao simply knelt down and said, "Whatever you want, I'm not a fool, I will never do such stupid things."
Empress Changsun was watching from the side. When she saw Li Shimin jumping, she was amazed at the same time, and was surprised by Li Shimin's importance to Li Mu.
There were too many places where the monarch and ministers had violated the ban just now. Not to mention anything else, Li Mu, as a minister, actually discussed with the emperor that he did not want to do the emperor's affairs. It would be a must for which dynasty or generation to be put in? But looking at Li Shimin's expression just now, he didn't take it seriously. This was really unusual.
What kind of trait does Li Mu make him so relieved? Empress Changsun didn't understand it.
But she knew that at this time she had to stand up and give her a step.
Empress Changsun stopped Li Shimin who was about to get the sword in person and advised with a smile: "Your Majesty just said that a real man must be tolerant. Why can Your Majesty tolerate Wei Zheng but not Li Mu? Wei Zheng is against Your Majesty everywhere. Although Li Mu is a little naughty, he has made a lot of contributions. I hope Your Majesty will think twice."
Li Shimin was waiting for this step. He glanced at Queen Changsun, then glared at Li Mu, and said unhappy: "You guy are too wise. Even my queen has been bribed by you and spoke to you. Forget it, I will spare you for the sake of the queen this time."
"Thank you, Queen."
"Why don't you thank me?"
"Didn't Your Majesty say that for the sake of the queen, Your Majesty is going to chop me up. Why do you want to thank someone who wants to chop me up?"
"—" Li Shimin choked speechlessly, stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Mu: "Get out quickly!"
Li Mu bowed honestly and turned around and left. Li Shimin's voice came from behind: "Three days later, I will ask the prince, if you don't teach, I will beat you ten sticks, if you don't take the colorful glass bottle to the palace, I will beat you twenty. I'm not a joke, I will do what I say! You can do it yourself. I must also give you one copy of the things I give to the queen in the future. If I don't have my share, I will let the high-ranking officials go to your house to pick it up. You can write your broken daily life note, and I will write whatever I want. I will conquer the country and grab it. I am afraid you will say it?"
Li Mu heard the anger in his tone, and felt a cool breeze coming from behind his neck. He quickly shrank his neck and ran away as if he was running away.
However, he didn't go far, so he took a turn and came to Chongwen Hall between Lizheng Hall and Taiji Hall. It was not yet noon and the Chongwen Hall had not yet finished school. When Li Mu sneaked over, Kong Yingda was teaching the students "What is benevolent politics."
Li Mu stood under the eaves of the corridor and listened secretly for a while. He had to say that, besides prejudice, Kong Yingda's lecture was still very good. If he had no highlights, he would have been a regular and very solid. He basically conveyed the meaning of Confucius, which was worthy of the name of Confucius' descendants. If he had been to later generations and became the reading comprehension of ancient Chinese in the Analects of Confucius, he would definitely be a top scholar who could get full marks.
But the more Li Mu heard it, the more he felt something was wrong. Gradually, he felt that it was not that Saint Kong said it was wrong, but that the times were different. The benevolent and political depicted by Saint Kong was too idealistic. Perhaps the people in the Spring and Autumn Period were so simple and kind. But now in the Tang Dynasty, the people were different. How can they still apply it?
