Li Shimin turned around and entered the courtyard. Li Mu and the officials stood up one after another, looked at each other, and Li Mu said in a slight voice, "Let's go, everyone discusses."

No one responded, but no one objected, and they all followed him silently.

The group came to the military tent where Changsun Wuji and others interrogated the assassin just now. There were several chairs in the tent, which were prepared for the trial and the documents. Li Mu had just knelt on the ground, but was hurt by the small stone, so he found a chair nearby to sit on it.

There are many people and few chairs. Whoever sits and stands has different statuses, ages and ages. The people who come in from behind are not as casual as Li Mu. They are all wandering and unable to sit down, looking at each other.

Seeing everyone like this, Li Mu thought to himself, when has it been, and he is still here to be so flirted, and he is really leisurely. But the youngest person present is not even sitting, so he is embarrassed to sit, so he has to hold on to the table and stand up.

Wang Gui took a step forward and pulled Li Mu to sit in the main seat. Li Mu refused, so he pressed Li Mu on the main seat.

Wang Gui said loudly, "You guys listen to my words, and we have seen it just now. If there was no Zhulu Hou's advice for his righteousness, Your Majesty would have decided. It was Zhulu Hou's righteous act, which gave tens of thousands of people a chance to breathe. It was him who won this precious opportunity for tens of thousands of people. Therefore, the master of Zhulu Hou was the leader, so everyone said it was right?"

Everyone agreed, and even Wei Zheng nodded in agreement.

Li Mu sighed. When Wang Gui saw him sighing, he thought he had flattered and asked, "Why did the Marquis sigh, did I say wrong?"

Li Mu sighed again and said, "Mu, I am a junior. Sit or stand, these are all trivial matters, not worthy. I sighed because." He suddenly choked up and said, "Now Your Majesty has just given you a chance, but there is no result yet. The Dukes don't concentrate on thinking about ways, but are still doing the seat."

Li Mu's eyes were slightly red, and he looked like he couldn't continue to speak. Wang Gui was ashamed and kept saying, "I'm confused, I'm confused."

Li Mu sighed again and said, "Whoever is tired, please sit down. I just knelt for a long time and my knees were so bad that I didn't let you sit down for a while."

Everyone hurriedly praised each other, looked at each other a few times, and asked the older ones to sit down, and the others stood.

Li Mu frowned, looked at everyone, and said, "You have heard what Your Majesty means. If anyone hasn't understood it, I will explain it again. Assassin is a trivial matter, whether it is my goal or Your Majesty, this is not the point. The point is that someone is disobeying Your Majesty's thoughts. This makes Your Majesty feel that no matter how hard he tries, he will not get the support of the family and the aristocratic family."

"Our Majesty is a great lord. He is both the emperor who conquers the country and the emperor who sits in the country. I don't need to say this, and everyone knows it in his heart. Let me ask you, if your Majesty really turns against you, if you dare to ask the five surnames and seven hopes, who can stop your Majesty's aggression?"

No one answers, who dares to answer this

Li Mu looked at Wang Gui and said, "Wang Shizhong, the Wang clan in Taiyuan dares to rebel."

Wang Gui was so scared that he almost bit his tongue and kept saying, "I dare not, I dare not, Taiyuan Wang has always supported Your Majesty, absolutely support him."

Li Mu looked at some officials from the family again, and they all said support like Wang Gui.

The eyes swept across everyone's faces, and finally stopped on Wei Zheng's body. "Wang Gong thought what?"

Wei Zheng looked at the ally's door, which was like a fence-like grass, and felt a fever on his face. He gritted his teeth and said, "I have never seen the wise king who resists foreign enemies, and I have never seen the hero who waved his sword to the people. If Your Majesty does this, he will be infamous for thousands of years."

Changsun Wuji was about to retort, but suddenly with a bang, Li Mu smashed the inkstone, smashed it into seven or eight pieces, and scattered on the ground. Everyone looked over, and Li Mu was angry and shouted, "Duke Wei, besides the sarcastic sarcasm, what else can you do when you met Your Majesty when you just met His Majesty. Why didn't you say these words now? Now, who will you tell me? Is it useful?"

"I don't know that for thousands of years, because I can't live that long. If I'm less than eighty, I'm sure I'm going to be confused. Not only me, you, Your Majesty, no one here can live for thousands of years, but after today, tens of thousands of people will fall. At this critical moment, you are still talking about how the historian will write, is there something wrong with you?"

Wei Zheng's face turned red and white when he was scolded. He opened his mouth to refute, but he didn't know where to start. He sighed heavily, turned his head aside, and said, "Then what can you do if you say it?"

"Didn't Your Majesty have said that he thinks that the people are breaking their trust in him first. I'll find a way to prove that the people are not breaking their trust in him. The major clans, especially the assassins, most of them love him. There are only a few who are crazy about their hearts and can kill them. Isn't the matter resolved? Now I ask you all, can you let go of your distractions first and think of a way to prove this?"

Li Mu said with red eyes, "My husband, this matter has nothing to do with me. Li Mu, a wild boy from a remote countryside, who is a clan who is kinship with me and who will die if he dies, who will die if he dies, who will die if he dies, who will die if he dies. But it has something to do with you. I won't point it out, you know what you know. At this time, you should not abandon your past grudges and work together."

Li Mu gritted his teeth and said, "Then I don't care. I don't need to do it. Kill me, die, do whatever I want. Anyway, my relatives are not mine, and the country has nothing to do with me. I will go back to Dingxiang to farm."

After saying that, Li Mu looked as if he was disappointed, he got up and left. Changsun Wuji reached out and stopped him. He was thrown away by Li Mu, and strode out of the military tent. He rode a horse and disappeared.

Wang Gui chased him out and saw only a horse's butt under the sunset. He didn't have time to slap it. In this situation, Wang Gui couldn't help but burst into tears and murmured, "What should I do, what should I do?"

At this time, Changsun Wuji was shocked. He retracted his right hand into his sleeve and confirmed that when he was stopping Li Mu, Li Mu stuffed a small note into his hand.

Changsun Wuji sat on the chair Li Mu had just sat on, and secretly glanced at the note under the cover of the table, then retracted his sleeve and pulled the note to pieces.

"The Lords put away their depressed aura, Li Mu is right. It is time to abandon past grudges and work together. For any family, only for the lives of tens of thousands of people, you and I, as court officials, should take on this responsibility and rest for a quarter of an hour. I will arrange dinner. Everyone will have dinner and think about it together."

While hesitating, Changsun Wuji's words were like a magic needle for stabilizing the sea, which instantly calmed down many people's hearts. When everyone looked at him, they couldn't help but respect him.

Only Wei Zheng looked at the paper confetti at Changsun Wuji's feet and frowned. He seemed to have thought of something, but he was unable to understand the key points.

Li Mu rode around the mountain on a horse, avoided all his sights by the woods, and entered Li Shimin's courtyard from the back door. Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien had already come over. After Li Mu took the people away, Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien came to deliver food. Li Mu felt sorry for Bai Qiaoqiao to prepare food for several people, so he thought of a way to stop cooking and eat hot pot.

Just as there was a frozen Chengfu beef shank in the warehouse, Li Mu asked Eunuch Gao to bring someone to secretly move the beef shank over, and Li Mu used the plane for carpentry. Between push and pull, pure natural unprocessed beef slices came out. The copper pot was still the same copper pot, and the coke was ready. Bringing a boil of gurgling water, and a little seasoning made by Li Mu, the aroma was ready.

This was the second time that Li Shimin had eaten hot pot. He didn't eat enough last time. This time, he saw Li Mu pushing beef slices with a plane, and he kept asking him to make more beef slices, for fear that he wouldn't have enough. While pushing, Li Mu complained in his heart, and didn't know which foolish monarch was. When he ate hot pot last time, he was almost full. He heard that it was beef, so he talked about the principle of eating beef to destroy farmers. It was so hypocritical. This time, he simply didn't even want to see that it was beef legs, and he was still slugging around.

Who made me be the emperor? Li Mu pushed and pushed, his arms were sore, and finally he made ten plates of beef. The beef legs were gone, and only a bone stick was left. He simply smashed it with a hammer and threw it into the copper pot. He made a bone soup hotpot, which made the aroma even more intense.

Everyone washed their hands and sat around the stone table. Needless to say, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun didn't have to let anyone go, they sat down by themselves. Li Mu, who is thick-skinned, has done a lot of work, so of course he also sat down. But Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien were not so comfortable. Although the emperor and the empress had both decrees in front of each other, they did not dare to be too casual.

Li Mu felt very uncomfortable when he saw his wife and concubine not sitting. He glanced at Li Shimin, whose eyes were a little straight, and secretly complained, "What emperor is this? I have no eyesight to see him, but I'll say something."

Empress Changsun reacted in time and reached out to pull Bai Qiaoqiao and sat down. Li Zhien took a sneak glance and sat down with him.

Only Eunuch Gao was left standing, and he was not so lucky. As a slave, how could he be worthy of eating the food from a vessel with his master? He did not have the kind of delusion. He secretly pursed his lips and turned his face to the other end.

Li Mu was not the kind of snobbish person, but in this case, he couldn't make a decision. After thinking about it, he took a bowl, took out a bowl of meat, pushed his elbow to his father-in-law Gao, and handed him the bowls and chopsticks together.

Eunuch Gao glanced at Li Shimin. Seeing that he had no intention of stopping, he secretly thanked Li Mu, took the dishes and hid in the corner and ate secretly.

How could Li Shimin not see such an obvious move? Seeing Eunuch Gao walking away, Li Shimin stuffed a chopstick into his mouth, glanced at Li Mu, and said, "Li Mu, what kind of person are you, I now realize that I can't see through you more and more."

Li Mu took a spoon, scraped out the bone marrow from the cow bones, and secretly put it into Bai Qiaoqiao's bowl. This thing is a big replenishment, and it cannot be cheaper. He has to be his son. While digging, he said, "Your Majesty's eyes are like a torch, and he can see through me at first sight. How could he not see through me? Your Majesty, he is joking."

"Hmph." Li Shimin shut up his nose, sipped the top scholar Hong, and said, "Stop talking about these useless things, don't mention anything else," Li Shimin pointed to Eunuch Gao and said, "I'm here to ask you, why are you sharing meat for high-ranking officials to buy people's hearts or have other purposes?"

Li Mu looked up at Li Shimin and said in a daze, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? You just have a bowl of meat. Even if you can buy beef, it is not worth three or five. If you can buy it, Eunuch Gao would be worthless."

"If you think I don't understand these slaves and servants, what I care about most is not money, but being respected. You are another way to win people's hearts, I'm right?"

Li Mu frowned and didn't say anything for a long time. Finally, he smiled and shook his head and said, "Your Majesty said yes, I'm eating meat, I won't say it."

Li Shimin refused to let him go and asked, "What do I mean by saying yes? Is it true? You have explained it to me."

Seeing that he was reluctant to let go, Li Mu knew that he could not explain clearly, so he couldn't stop eating this meal, so he had to put down his chopsticks, looked back at Eunuch Gao, and said, "Your Majesty wants to know, but I can't say that I want to ask Your Majesty a question first. Does Your Majesty really treat Eunuch Gao as a slave?"

Li Shimin was stunned, thought for a moment, and said, "He is an eunuch, of course he is a slave."

Li Mu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is lying. You should know that when the assassin came, Eunuch Gao came to rescue him without hesitation. If other eunuchs in the palace were replaced, would they do this?"

Li Shimin thought for a moment, but there was no words.

Li Mu said again, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Gao is your slave, this is true. But there are probably few slaves who are willing to give their lives for the master. This is called loyalty and righteousness. Of course, Your Majesty does not have to feel that he has treated Eunuch Gao badly, because his loyalty and righteousness must be exchanged for him. This is the reason why a scholar dies for his confidant. I give Eunuch Gao a bowl of meat because I respect Eunuch Gao as a loyal and righteous person. He deserves my respect, so I have this bowl of meat to eat. This is also one of the principles for me to make friends. Your Majesty must not be too complicated. I am still a child and do not have so many scheming."

Li Shimin automatically filtered out the last sentence and asked, "This is the first time I heard you talk about the guidelines for making friends. What are the guidelines? Let me tell you a few more."

"Um" Li Mu thought about it and said, "Then I will say another one. I will make friends. I never look at whether the other person has money or not. Anyway, it is impossible to be richer than me. Even if he comes from a wealthy family, he will definitely not dare to spend money, so he still can't compare to me. I make friends. I don't look at the other person's family background or not. I don't earn it from this person. Those who rely on their ancestors' family are fools, and I never take it seriously. When I make friends, I see whether this person is a worthy person. He must have a skill and a commendable ability. It makes me feel from my heart that some things that this person can do are something that I cannot do, and are my role models, or some of his ideas, which can resonate with me and make me feel that we are a fellow person. We can do something together to make the world better. Only such people can become my friends."
