Wei Zheng encountered a series of retorts again, and he held back his old blood, but he refused to spit it out, and finally asked the question he was most concerned about. "Are you saying that after the reform, can the existing land of the aristocratic families be retained?"

Li Mu laughed out loud and said, "Old Wei, you finally asked what you want to ask the most, it's really hard for you."

Li Mu said loudly to everyone, "Reform is for the prosperity of the country. The land must always be planted. Whoever plantes depends on whether it is beneficial to the country. Those who are united with Your Majesty may have more lands than before. Those who are willing to support the reform. Those who pay taxes may be able to keep the existing ones, but if they are deliberately against Your Majesty and secretly engage in flirting with each other, hell, think about it yourself."

"In short, since Your Majesty has made up his mind, that is, six words: Those who follow will prosper, and those who go against will perish! There is no bargaining, only follow or not." After Li Mu finished speaking, perhaps because he felt that he was too domineering, he turned to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, is this what he meant?"

Li Shimin cleared his throat and said, "Yes, my intention has been decided. Starting tomorrow, the court will no longer discuss the new policy, but only discuss how the new policy should be implemented! The Secretariat will draft an edict and inform the world! Retreat the court!"

"Retreat the court!" Eunuch Gao shouted in a hushed voice, and all the officials saluted. Wei Zheng looked at Li Mu deeply, sighed and turned around and left with the officials.

Li Mu also followed the officials out, and Li Shimin called him. When everyone went out, Li Shimin signaled Eunuch Gao to close the door of the palace and said angrily, "How come your temper is unstable? I still think you can slowly plan it, but it's better, just ignite it, don't care! Do you know that this is the foundation of the country, how can you decide it in just a few words?"

Li Mu laughed and said, "Your Majesty, everything I say is true."

"Real evidence?" Li Shimin looked at him squintly and said, "You went to investigate?"

"If you have something, you will accept your disciples, otherwise why should I accept disciples? Isn't there Changsun Chong? He will lead someone to take charge of this matter?" Li Mu said with a shy face, "Your Majesty, this is about the way to educate me. Look at Changsun Chong in the past, he is just a waste. Under the guidance of me, he is now considered a good talent."

"What did you educate?" Li Shimin said angrily, "You think I don't know what's going on with your academy? I recruited students, charged such expensive tuition fees, worked as a hardworking worker for you all day, and let others learn carpenters and bricklayers to build houses. Is this your way of education?"

"Your Majesty, this is a bad word!" Li Mu said seriously, "My education method is different from that of Lao Confucius and others. Is this important to teach by words and deeds. Yesterday, Changsun Chong took the court in the court, didn't Your Majesty see anything? Temperament?"

"Ha, I've seen a little bit," Li Shimin sneered, saying, "Changsun Chong is like you now, becoming more and more arrogant. I heard from the little eunuch that in the Secretariat, he was so arrogant that he said that the rules of your Xiaoyao Sect are just not polite. Are you a little polite? You taught the good disciples, are you still a little polite?"

"Your Majesty, you won't bring bullies!"

"Who bullies you is because you have no etiquette!"

Li Mu spread his hands and said, "Your Majesty, you are not unaware of these people in the court. When they are reasonable, they will bully you. When they are unreasonable, they will either bully others. They either compete for qualifications or start talking about seniority. The New Year is over. I am eighteen this year, and Changsun is two years older than me, and twenty this year. How can we compare when talking about seniority and qualifications? But things have to be done, so I told my disciples that when doing serious business, they only talk about reason, not seniority and qualifications. No matter which one is, as long as they can't explain the truth, then they will have no face! Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

"Um..." Li Shimin nodded and said, "It's a little bit of a reason. After all, do you have to do things! Okay, let's not talk about this, I have three things to keep you. The first thing is that I will entrust you to Wei Zheng with the reform. I also see that Wei Zheng can't tell you, but you can't bully people too much. Everything has to be discussed. Although Wei Zheng is speaking for the family, he is not entirely for the family. I know him, he is also for the word stability. You need to know the reason to stop at the right time. In addition, the matter between Li Ji and Ashinasmo has been delayed for a long time, and it should be a breakdown. What's the specific constitution? You should take out a rough idea first and let them go back. If they leave for a long time, there may be a change. What's the third thing..."

Li Shimin pondered for a moment, and his eyes seemed to have some expressions that were not an emperor but a father. "Chengqian was an urban management officer and suffered a lot of grievances. I saw it and felt a little reluctant. Why don't you persuade him and almost go back to the palace."

"Your Majesty." Li Mu said seriously, "The first two things must be done for Your Majesty, but the last thing is to forgive me for being powerless. The crown prince is the crown prince of the country. If you are not the crown prince's teacher, you should not teach the crown prince how to act. This goes against your duty as a minister. Teaching the crown prince is Your Majesty's duty, and you should communicate with the crown prince. Moreover, I do not think that the crown prince suffers some grievances in the market is a bad thing. If the crown prince can understand more about the sufferings of the people, encounter more things, and understand some flexibility, he will be more mature when he inherits the throne in the future. I believe this is what Your Majesty hopes to see."

"Oh," Li Shimin sighed and said, "That's what I said, but in my heart... Look, Qingque is also my legitimate son--" Suddenly Li Shimin got stuck, he looked at Li Mu and said, "Li Mu, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't seen Qingque for half a month. What is he doing, do you know?"

"Uh..." Li Mu smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know."

"Lie!" Li Shimin frowned and said, "You clearly know that I'm going to tell you, tell me quickly!"

Li Mu clicked his mouth and didn't dare to look at Li Shimin's eyes, saying, "Your Majesty, Qingque is not in Chang'an City now."

"What?" Li Shimin slapped the table and shouted, "Gao Guan! Get in!"

Eunuch Gao quickly rolled into the hall, looked at Li Shimin's wrong expression, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, what happened?"

"I ask you, where is the green bird?"

"The King of Yue..." Eunuch Gao's face changed a few times, and he lowered his head, and hesitated, "Your Majesty, this matter is actually because the King of Yue is not allowed to say that it is just when something happened a few days ago? King of Yue, he followed General Li Daozong's army, go, go..."

"What did you do!"

"He said he wanted to see the world."

"Seeing the world," Li Shimin laughed furiously. He looked at Li Mu and gritted his teeth. "Li Mu, this is your way of education again, right? My two legitimate sons have made you crazy. I, I want to kill you!"

"Your Majesty, I have to cry for justice when I say this! I have said that I have never asked for it, I just set an example! The King of Yue was curious about why aristocratic families were against the court. He wanted to know what they wanted, and why the people were close to the family and stayed away from the court. He wanted to find the answer in person. This is a good thing. I cannot stop the students from seeking knowledge!"
