"Go and have a look!"

Changsun Wuji immediately stood up and ran out, and Wei Zheng and others followed closely behind. The officials who were resting in each military tent also received news and walked out together. It was strange that none of the soldiers guarding outside the military tent all day had come out to stop him. In desperation, no one noticed it.

A group of people ran to the east hillside and saw Li Mu standing outside the fence wall in his hand with Shangfang sword in his hand. It seemed that it was not the same thing to the person who reported the news. He did not seem to be trying to advise him, but he seemed to rush in and kill the emperor.

Changsun Wuji hurriedly stopped Li Mu and shouted, "What are you going to do! Li Mu, are you crazy?!"

Li Mu reached out and pulled Changsun Wuji away, rolled up his sleeves, slowly raised his sword, placed it on his wrist, took a deep breath, and said, "Your Majesty, I just thought about it. It's not good to wipe my neck. I want to keep a whole body, so I'd better cut my wrist."

When everyone heard this, their chin almost fell to the ground. What's this? Is it a joke?

Li Mu put the sword on his wrist and gestured, but he didn't do it. Everyone was anxious when they watched from the side, and they wanted to rush up to help him and cut him with one sword.

At this time, Eunuch Gao walked out and looked at Li Mu playing there. He almost couldn't help laughing. He reluctantly held back and said with a stern face, "Your Majesty dictates Li Mu, how long do you want to make trouble? Do what you should do. I forgive you for a while. If you make trouble again, I will not forgive you."

"Your Majesty! I am not making a fuss!" Li Mu suddenly threw the sword and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty is confused. As your Majesty's minister, how can I not remind you without saying anything? Even if you are honest and unpleasant, you have calculated your duty as a minister. I cannot be like those who are just corpses. Seeing that Your Majesty is about to make a big mistake, I am worried about your family's wealth and life, and dare not speak out! There are too many such people, and many ministers are willing to go against the current, even if you anger your Majesty and smash it to pieces, you will do whatever you want. If my death can awaken Your Majesty and recover the big mistake that is about to make, I am willing!"

Deaf and shocking!

It was completely deafening in the sense of literal sense, because Li Mu shouted with his neck, Changsun Wuji, who was close to him, almost became deaf in his ears.

Many people's old faces turned red and white. No one could understand Li Mu's words. This was obviously a shameful person. Especially Wei Zheng, when he heard Li Mu's words, he subconsciously felt familiar. After thinking for a while, he realized that this was not what he wanted to say? Li Mu, he was in front of him!

If he was such a loyal and fierce person, it would be fine. The problem is that he was not. Anyone with eyes could tell that he was not, but he would say such things. Wei Zheng's stomach churned, and he felt like he had eaten a fly, feeling unspeakable.

After hearing this, Eunuch Gao said nothing, turned back to the yard, and came out soon after, saying, "Your Majesty dictated Li Mu, you once said in the palace that a minister cannot do anything to the king. Whether he can be Yao and Shun depends on the talent of the emperor. I still remember it freshly. What are you doing now? Do you want to take back your words?"

Yes! When everyone heard this, they felt the same. Didn’t you, Li Mu, say that being a minister cannot do anything to the king of Yao and Shun? In order to flatter the emperor, you can say everything! Now you have shot yourself in the foot, what do you say?

Li Mu was also caught off guard and was stunned for a while. Suddenly he took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, I am definitely not trying to make the king of Yao and Shun. Because Your Majesty is not Yao and Shun, and Yao and Shun are not Yao and Shun, no one can do Yao and Shun. I just want to remind Your Majesty not to make the mistake of regret, because once some things are done, the consequences cannot be compensated!"

The tongue twister-like passage made everyone feel a little overwhelmed. After wandering around in his heart, he realized something, was this kid crazy? He actually said that the emperor could not be Yao and Shun. Is he mocking the emperor as a fool?

Even if you are an individual, you can't stand it!

This time, Li Shimin didn't need Eunuch Gao to pass the message, so he walked out of the yard. One day after the assassination, the ministers finally met Li Shimin himself.

All eyes were focused on Li Shimin's wounds. Sure enough, I saw the white cloth wrapped around my wrist, but to be fair, it was indeed a minor injury. Many of them were from the Qin Palace back then, and they had seen Li Shimin injured. If it were seven or eight years ago, when Li Shimin led his army to fight, it would be done with one handful of soil and two handfuls of it, and it would be worth mentioning at all.

But who dares to say this? Seven or eight years ago, that person was the King of Qin, and now this person is the emperor. Can it be the same?

All the officials knelt all over the ground, crying bitterly, and cursing sounds one after another.

Li Shimin turned a deaf ear to Li Mu, and said, "What do you mean? You said I can't be Yao and Shun? Then why can't Yao and Shun be Yao and Shun?"

Li Mu said seriously, "Your Majesty, you may be a little scholar, but as far as I know, the deeds of Yao and Shun are passed down by word of mouth, but they are not seen in official history. The records in the records of the Grand Historian are mostly legends and stories without any evidence. I think that the reason why Yao and Shun can be passed down as legends for thousands of years is because Yao and Shun entrusted the people's yearning for wise kings. The people want such emperors, and they attribute all their beautiful imaginations to Yao and Shun. But is Yao and Shun really the person in the legend? I think that it may not be. People have selfish desires, and they will make mistakes if they have selfish desires, but Yao and Shun will not, because Yao and Shun were imagined by the people."

"The era of Yao and Shun was located was only a thousand miles away. Now, the Tang Dynasty has more than ten thousand miles east and west? Now, if you govern a thousand miles, you only need a wise minister. All the officials present can do it, and the world governed by Your Majesty is a hundred times that of Yao and Shun. The things you need to think about in the ten miles, the hundred miles, the thousand miles, and the ten thousand miles, how can you say the same complexity? Yao and Shun thoughts, or only involve a hundred people, but Your Majesty thoughts, will there be ten thousand people, and 100,000 people. Shouldn't Your Majesty be more cautious?"

"Your Majesty is the emperor, and the sage says that the emperor is worthy of virtue. My understanding of this sentence is that the emperor must not be a person with virtue. If his virtue is not worthy, the country will be unstable. As strong as the Qin and Han Dynasties, it will also overturn. Anything that happens within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, no matter how big or wrong, can be attributed to Your Majesty. Because the world belongs to Your Majesty, the people are your Majesty's children. Raising but not teaching is the fault of your father. If such a thing happens, Your Majesty is the king and father of the world, and it is hard to blame!"

Although it was a plot that was designed, Li Shimin was still angry when he heard Li Mu's remarks. He laughed angrily, "As you said, I was assassinated by an assassin, but I was not my?"

Li Mu said seriously, "If you want to say this, it's reasonable!"

Li Shimin was so angry that he became a little agitated in an instant. He had already left behind the scenes and had to argue with Li Mu. "Then tell me a reason, where is my fault?"

"Your Majesty is not wrong, but he is not doing well enough." Li Mu responded calmly, not at all confusing. "Your Majesty, I don't know how to govern the world, I only know how to do business. Looking at Chang'an City, I dare to say shamelessly that I am the best person in business. No matter what industry I do, as long as I want to do, I can do it, and I can do it well. Many people are very puzzled. Why is this happening? I will make the trick public today, hoping to touch Your Majesty a little."

Li Shimin was also very curious about this matter, so he snorted and said, "Let's talk."

"The sage said benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, which is the so-called five constants of Confucianism. They are the five basic moral standards summarized by the sage. When I studied the sage's classics, I saw these five words and realized many truths as if I had been enlightened."

"I found that doing business is actually very simple. Trust is just a word. Why is my business unfavorable? Trust is just a word? For the sake of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is just a word. For the Ministry of Internal Affairs to grow rapidly in just a few months? Trust is just a word. What I promised to the merchants, no matter what I have lost or made a profit, I will take it with me. As long as it is said by myself, I will definitely do it. Therefore, merchants will trust their ministers, and they are willing to do business with me and sign orders with me, because they know that as long as they do what they should do, their efforts and efforts will be rewarded. This is trust. If the ministers say that they cannot do it and bully others with power, merchants may have no choice but to suffer this loss, but they will never be deceived for the second time."

"Another thing can be proved. I can also say it today. I always say that I regard money as dirt. This sentence is like a joke, and it is indeed a joke. I am a businessman who does business by himself and runs the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Your Majesty. If I really don't care about money, there is no need to do these things. But now, when I say this, the people will believe it, at least the people in Chang'an City will believe it. Why? Because most of them pick up the money that I have scattered on the streets. There are not 100,000 guan, and at least 50,000 guan. I have thrown out real money and silver!"

"I said it, and I did it too. Even if some people say that I have ulterior motives and say that this is a joke, but because I did it, it is no longer a joke. This is the power of 'faith'."

"The same is true for Your Majesty and the people. Why do the assassins assassination? Because they are dissatisfied with Your Majesty, why are they dissatisfied with Your Majesty? Because they do not trust Your Majesty, they do not believe that Your Majesty is a good emperor. But if Your Majesty is like a minister who spreads coins and uses irrefutable facts to win people's hearts with "faith", even if someone says that Your Majesty is not a good emperor, their remarks will not be supported. Your Majesty once said that water can carry a boat and can also overturn it. Your Majesty has the courage to ride a boat and roll over the waves, why are you afraid of just wind and waves?"

When Li Shimin heard these words, the anger in his eyes gradually dissipated. The ministers also said nothing, thinking deeply about the meaning of Li Mu's words. Wei Zheng looked at Li Mu's back and felt uncomfortable, but he had to admit that Li Mu's advice was better than him. If he had done this, he would definitely be the same and would definitely not be able to say so many examples.

Li Shimin was silent for a while and said, "The assassins are from the five surnames and seven hopes. They come together to oppose me. Could it be that my virtue is not enough and I am not worthy of being the emperor? Since I ascended the throne, I have treated the family favorably, but I am really disappointed! I have listened to the remarks about "trust" you said, and understood. But they broke my trust in me first, so I have to break my trust in them. Li Mu, I understand your feelings. But I can't listen to you, so I will retreat!"

After saying that, Li Shimin turned around and wanted to go back to the yard. Wei Zheng took a step forward, but Li Mu was faster than him. He threw himself on the ground and hugged Li Shimin's thigh.

Although it was a scheduled show, when it really happened, Li Shimin still felt absurd and reluctantly held back, shouting sternly, "What are you doing? What are you going to do?"

"Your Majesty, please say another sentence. I firmly believe that the people have seen and kept it in their hearts. They will never ignore it. There are folk songs as evidence! There are scales between heaven and earth, and the weights are the common people. You call the stalk to pick the country, Yiya Yiya, Your Majesty, you are the star of the fixed plate! How nice this little song is! How can the people love Your Majesty so much? How can they say that they are broken by your Majesty? I firmly believe that the assassins are just a few stubborn and unscrupulous minorities, and they are more than dead. I don't speak for them, but I just beg Your Majesty to spare those innocent people. They love Your Majesty. If Your Majesty implicates them, they will truly be broken by the people. Your Majesty, you must think clearly!"

Li Mu said, turning around and winked at Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others. Wei Zheng made a quick decision and knelt on the ground and shouted, "Please think twice, don't lose your trust in the people!"

Changsun Wuji brought all the officials to kneel down, "Please think twice, and don't lose trust in the people!"

Li Shimin frowned and thoughtfully, looked down at Li Mu, and asked about the time. Li Mu nodded secretly. Li Shimin cleared his throat and said the main theme of the play. "This is just your one-sided words. How can I know whether it is true or false? Maybe the five surnames and seven hopes are ready to rebel at this time, and they may not necessarily intend to rebel. I have conquered the world, so why fear a mere family? Since I treat each other sincerely, I have received assassination, so it is better to overturn it completely and start over. I will make up for the sins I have committed today. Don't say it anymore, and all retreat!"

Li Mu was reluctant to let go and shouted, "Your Majesty, if I can prove that in the hearts of the vast majority of the people, will Your Majesty still love Your Majesty, will Your Majesty be willing to reconsider?"

Li Shimin frowned and said, "How do you prove it? Li Mu, I advise you to meddle in other people's business. You are not a member of the family, so please don't involve me! I will allow you to make trouble for a while, and I will deal with it together with you!"

"I beg your majesty to give you a chance!" Li Mu said loudly, "I am willing to prove that the people have not broken their trust in Your Majesty, they are just a few stubborn people! Your Majesty, you are the emperor, so you don't even have this confidence? I only want one day, Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin looked at the kneeling officials, looked at Li Mu, sighed helplessly, and said, "Okay, I will give you a day to see how you prove it!"

Li Mu was "overjoyed", let go of his hand holding Li Shimin's thigh, bowed to the ground, shouting loudly, "I will involve tens of thousands of people in it, thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"
