"Your Majesty once said that he and King Xi were at the end of the battle between brothers and wars, which was not what he wanted. But there were many people and things behind him, and the general trend was in progress. If he didn't take action, King Xi would do it. The matters of the Xuanwu Sect are for the sake of the world and for self-protection, and there is nothing he can do."

"Your Majesty has never denied the contribution of King Xi to the founding of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the country was newly established and the people's livelihood was in decline. Your Majesty had never shortened military food and grass for wars. How difficult it is. Since King Xi's death, the logistics of grain and grass have never been dispatched as before. Your Majesty has always recognized King Xi's ability. Therefore, when someone tried to frame King Xi, Your Majesty would never agree."

"Well," Li Mu nodded, but thought in his heart, it might not be the case. At that time, although Li Jiancheng was dead, there were still a large number of people there, such as Wei Zheng, Wang Gui, Xue Wanche and other civil and military officials. Their power in the court was extraordinary. To completely destroy Li Jiancheng would definitely hurt their feelings, arouse dissatisfaction among these people, and be unfavorable to maintain the stability of the regime and the stability of the ruling group. As for the deep brotherhood, it would be better to save money. If you really have deep love, you won't be able to kill them all.

"Later, he proposed to make the posthumous title "Ling", but His Majesty did not agree at first."

"Spirit" Li Mu frowned and said, "How is this spiritual explanation bad?"

Eunuch Gao glanced at him as if he was illiterate and said, "The posthumous law is said to be a person who is incompetent in high positions. The posthumous title is Ling, which means that King Xi is the crown prince, but virtue is not worthy of the position. He was able to be appointed as the crown prince not because of his talent, but because he was born early and became the crown prince because of his identity as the "princeling son".

Li Mu Nahan said, "This is not true."

"Yes, so Your Majesty disagreed at first." Eunuch Gao sighed, "but later His Majesty agreed."

Li Mu curled his lips, and Eunuch Gao explained, "Your Majesty has to agree, because your Majesty's throne is not right and cannot be justified. He has to give an explanation to the people of the world, otherwise he will be a traitor. The posthumous title is determined to be Ling, and he can win some public support. Even if it is far-fetched, it is an explanation."

Li Mu complained in his heart that it was not for the sake of a reputation or love behind him, but it was all fake. Describing Li Jiancheng as a cowardly and incompetent person is easier to accept than describing him as a heinous bad guy, and it will not arouse their dissatisfaction or hurt their feelings too much. It is a compromise, allowing everyone to have a step down.

"Wait," Li Mu suddenly remembered that something seemed wrong. Li Jiancheng's posthumous title is not Yin or Ling, is there any change?

"I know what you are asking." Eunuch Gao continued, "The posthumous title of Ling has been decided, but Your Majesty is still uneasy. Our family remembers that it was February, and the inscriptions of the epitaph had been engraved. In March, you have to choose a date to be buried. At the last moment, Your Majesty changed his mind and changed Ling to Yin."

“What’s the difference?”

"The difference is so big." Eunuch Gao wished to give Li Mu a posthumous book, explaining that "If you can't get it, it's called Yin; if you don't show your corpse, it's called Yin; if you see beautiful and Jian, it's called Yin; if you can't get it, it's called Yin; if you don't get it, it's called Yin; if you don't get it, it's called Yin; if you don't get it, it's called Yin; if you don't know what you want, it's called Yin; if you don't know what you want, it's called Yin; if you don't know what you want, it's called Yin; if you don't know what you want, it's called Yin; if you don't know what you want, it's called Yin; if you don't know what you want, it's called Yin; if you don't know what you want, it's called Yin; if you don't know what you want, it's called

"Oh." Li Mu understood what Eunuch Gao meant. Li Shimin finally cared about his brotherhood. Although he did not give Li Jiancheng a very pertinent evaluation, at least he did not slander him.

"But I still have one thing unknown." Li Mu thought about it for a while and asked again, "According to your opinion, the so-called posthumous title is divided into upper, middle and lower posthumous titles, there should be more than one posthumous title, but why is it a hidden character?"

"This is not worth telling to outsiders." Eunuch Gao waved his hand, and the little eunuch following him consciously stepped back five steps. Eunuch Gao lowered his voice and said, "The things we know about here are only three people. It happens that our family is one of them."

"Oh, how do you know"

"When Your Majesty finally decided to change his posthumous title, he couldn't sleep at night and read history with a lamp. Our family served Your Majesty and saw the books he read. There is such a story among them."

"Please help my father-in-law."

"In the Spring and Autumn Period, the king of Lu, Duke Hui of Lu, died and ordered the sentence to be located in the crown prince Ji Yun. However, Prince Ji Yun was still very young and could not handle national affairs, so the concubine's son, Ji Yun's brother Ji Xi, was acting in the state affairs. Everyone felt that Ji Xi was acting in the state affairs, and he was going to be involved in the throne. But Ji Xi said that he was just helping his brothers, and no one believed him, and Ji Xi did not defend himself, but as long as someone asked, he would still say this."

"Although I said this, there are not many people who believe it. Most people don't believe it. There is a minister named Yufu, who doesn't think so. His idea is that whoever sits in the seat of the king will belong to. So Yufu advises Duke Yin of Lu to kill his younger brother Ji Yun and eliminate future troubles, so that he can be the king forever. He volunteered to help Jixi do this, the condition is that after the matter is completed, he will be the Dazai of Lu."

"Ji Xi's answer was very honest. He told Yu's father that he had never planned to be a monarch forever. The reason why he had been a monarch for more than ten years was because Ji Yun was too young and had no ability to handle major national affairs. Now he has grown into a big man, and it is time to return the monarch. In order to make Yu's father believe him, he even took out a map and pointed out a place, saying that a small town had been built here for his own retirement."

"This father Yu was very disappointed when he heard that Lu Yin Gong had made up his mind and felt deeply afraid. Ji Xi protected his younger brother so much that he had expressed his unjust intentions today. He returned the position of the king in the future, and the new king Ji Yun would not be allowed to kill him."

"In order to avoid the blood disaster, Yu's father came up with a wonderful idea. Since the elder brother was unwilling to kill his brother, I would advise him to kill his brother. No matter who he is the king, he would do it. So Yu's father ran to Ji Yun to lobby. Ji Yun didn't know the details and accepted Yu's father's advice and asked Yu's father to secretly kill Ji Xi with the assassin."

"In this way, my younger brother Ji Yun became the king. This is Duke Huan of Lu, and his father Yu also became the priest as he wished. Later, Ji Yun gave his brother Ji Xi a posthumous title of "Yin"."

Li Mu suddenly realized and thought to himself that King Xi and Prince Yin came from here. After thinking about it carefully, Li Mu couldn't help but say "Gao". Li Shimin's skills are so good. He compared himself to Ji Yun and Li Jiancheng to Ji Xi. This is telling the world that both brothers are right. The Xuanwu Gate Incident will occur because someone instigated him.

There have been rumors that Li Yuan once told Li Shimin that the world was obtained by his war, so he deliberately wanted to hand over the world to him. It was just because he was not the eldest son, so he failed to implement it. If the two brothers compare Ji Yun and Ji Xi, there would be such an explanation.

Li Yuan, Lu Huigong wanted to hand over the country to Li Shimin and Ji Yun, but Li Shimin and Ji Yun were young, so he had to hand over to Li Jiancheng and Ji Xi first. Li Jiancheng and Ji Xi did not want to occupy the throne. He planned to be a man himself for a few years and return the country to him after his younger brother was alone. This incident occurred with the tragedy of the brothers, which sowed the relationship between the brothers, which eventually led to the tragedy of the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

The story is perfect, but there is a scapegoat missing. But this scapegoat is also easy to find, aristocratic families, and any one can be said to be given to you.

Seeing Li Mu thinking, Eunuch Gao knew that he understood what he meant in his words, and laughed sharply, saying, "Marty, you must have understood what Your Majesty mean. Now that you have become the heir of King Xi, it is the first step to repair the mistakes that year. At present, there is only a lack of a father of Yu."

"Your Majesty has someone to choose in your heart"

“It’s not time yet.”

Li Mu nodded and said, "I understand, thank you for your father-in-law."

After three or two steps to the palace gate, Eunuch Gao smiled and said, "Our family is just talking nonsense and can't count it. Our family still has to pass the order."

Li Mu and Eunuch Gao greeted each other, and they walked on their own.

Along the way, Li Mu was thinking about this. Li Shimin asked Eunuch Gao to tell him what this meant was that he wanted him to cooperate in acting, or was he trying to use this to hit him. Does Li Shimin have the so-called brotherhood towards Li Jiancheng, or is it all for his reputation, and everything he did was a link in a series of conspiracies and conspiracies. If this was the case, what was Li Shimin's ultimate goal?"

What is his arrangement for himself?

The cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks

Li Mu fought a cold war, and he suddenly had a sense of intuition. Li Shimin's indulgence towards him was hidden murderous intent.

"The cunning rabbit dies, the lackeys cook." When he arrived at Jingdong Ji, Li Mu murmured this sentence. He got off the horse and seemed a little lost. He didn't look at the road when he walked. Suddenly, he felt as if he had stepped on something and almost tripped. He looked down and found that he had stepped on someone. A little monk next to him was glaring at him.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Li Mu quickly got off the man, the little monk rushed over and pulled the man up. Only then did Li Mu see clearly that the person he had stepped on was the Xuan-dressed master who had met with Ci'en Temple. Needless to say, the little monk was a little monk Yixiu.

"Sorry, I'm thinking about things, but I didn't see the master." Li Mu looked at Xuanzang and said, "The master is not devoted to studying Buddhism in Ci'en Temple. What kind of shop is here for my house? Is this place for girls to buy things? Does monks also need perfume and silver mirrors?"

"Amitabha, the donor is joking. I came here because I had something to ask the donor for advice. I didn't know where the donor lives, so I asked Yixiu for a question. I didn't dare to come in and disturb him, so I had to wait at the door." Xuanzang apologized, "I also know that this place is a store visited by the female donor, and I dare not attract attention at the main entrance. Amitabha, please don't be surprised."

Seeing that his attitude was sincere and sincere, Li Mu didn't want to speak disgustedly, he reached out and pushed open the door, saying, "The master and I are also destined to be together. What do you mean? Come in and say it."

"I'm disturbing the donor."

Xuanzang and Yixiu followed Li Mu and entered the backyard. Li Mu asked someone to bring a bench over. The three of them sat down. There was a maid making tea. Xuanzang said that he didn't need it. He didn't drink it. The little monk Yixiu didn't drink it. Li Mu took a cup of tea himself, picked the tea leaves, took a sip, and asked, "What does the master want to ask? You might as well ask. If you know, I said it. If you don't know, I won't say it. If you like to listen to my nonsense, I can also say it casually. If it's true or false, the master will judge it yourself."

The words like tongue twisters made people feel a little unresponsive. Fortunately, Xuanzang was not an ordinary person, and Li Mu's little tricks did not distract him from his attention. Xuanzang's eyes were clear and asked, "The donor's words to solve the disadvantages of Buddhism, and I can't benefit from it. But I cannot agree with some of these words. In my childhood understanding, Buddhism is to encourage people to be good. Since it is to encourage people to be good, how can it be wrong?"

Li Mu spread his hands and said, "You can see how the monks in Ci'en Temple do it. If you come to make an argument with me, I will not have time to accompany you."

"I don't dare." Xuanzang said repeatedly, "I have also seen the practices of some monks in Ci'en Temple. It is indeed inappropriate. I have also reflected on myself and there are some inappropriate things in my behavior. I am also very confused. Why can I do such things by accompanying the Buddha day and night? Is it because I am wrong, the Dharma is wrong, or the Buddha is wrong, and I ask the donor to answer my doubts."

How to explain this

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "You can't say that people are wrong. Human nature is greedy and self-interested. This is how these monks do things. After all, even if you believe in Buddhism, you cannot get rid of human desires. Monks are also humans, not Buddhas, and not gods. As for Buddhas, it is hard to say that they are wrong. After all, no one has seen the real Buddha, and has not seen the person or the matter, so how can there be a difference between right and wrong?"

"That's the Buddhist teachings are wrong." Xuanzang stared at his eyes, looking like he was seeking knowledge. Li Mu thought to himself, "You monk, you are counting on me, who am I counting on to go, I am not a monk." Suddenly, his eyes rolled, and he thought of a good excuse, cleared his throat, put on an unfathomable look, and said, "I want to know."

"I want to know."

Li Mu looked at the little monk Ikkyu and said, "You won't want to know too, you are very serious, so don't get involved, you kid."

"I want to know, too."

"No," Li Mu raised his face and said, "This is my Tang Dynasty business. You little bald man in the country want to know what to do and go outside and wait."

The little monk couldn't argue with this reason, so he pouted in depressed mood, got up and walked out of the door. Li Mu glanced at him, walked sideways to Xuanzang, and said, "Actually, I will know this, which is related to a strange adventure. I didn't want to tell anyone else in this life, but seeing that you are so sincere and confused, it's also pitiful, I will talk to you."
