Chapter 761 Fairness and justice
text
Cheng Yaojin raised his eyebrows and smiled. He understood what Li Mu meant, but he could not proceed now. Because he was not alone, but represented the Cheng family. The Cheng family was not alone, he had six sons. He ran all the way to the end, wasn’t it for his six sons? Although he was close to Li Mu and regarded him as his nephew, he could still distinguish between relatives and closeness.
Li Mu is now in the limelight, but it is not that there is no crisis at all. Some days ago, I reminded him that Li Mu's talent has aroused the emperor's fear, and it is extremely risky to tie the Cheng family to him.
Throughout history, many wise ministers have not been able to die well. It is not because he did something wrong, but because he did it too well. The emperor today is a wise monarch, and his civil and military skills are of the best, but even such a monarch cannot defeat Li Mu's edge. Then when he becomes a new emperor ascends the throne a hundred years later, Li Mu will have a lot of power and will be in power. If he has the intention of being an unjust minister, the country will only change for a while.
No emperor can ignore such hidden dangers, and even the wise monarch will inevitably be avoided.
"Then wait. You kid is so brave that you dare not do anything. I am so old, so be cautious."
Li Mu understood what Cheng Yaojin meant, and didn't say anything. He smiled and then started talking.
...
It is said that it is a party to protect oneself, but it is so easy to form a party?
Li Mu thought that his relationship with the Cheng family was pretty good, but just revealed a little today, Cheng Yaojin beat him up haha- but Li Mu didn't blame him. Cheng Yaojin had his own difficulties, so Li Mu could understand such a big family.
However, if Li Mu did not have the strength of the Cheng family, he would not have to form a clique with him. But if he had the strength of the Cheng family, he would have formed a clique with him without hesitation. It would be fine if one or two families were there, but if there were three or five families, Li Mu smiled bitterly and thought to himself, isn’t this just going to rebel? He is Li Shimin and he cannot turn a blind eye.
It seems that I can't find a suitable solution.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is no so-called hatred between Li Mu and Li Shimin. The three words can be summarized, "thinking too much". It seems that that's all. Even if both parties can be honest, trust each other, and be open and honest, it seems that there is not much trouble. Because Li Mu knew that he was not Li Mu, he had never thought of avenging Li Jiancheng.
But the question is, he said, will Li Shimin believe it? Will the people in the world believe it?
The revenge of killing his father is irreconcilable, and individuals will subconsciously realize that if Li Jiancheng had descendants, it would be impossible not to avenge him.
"I really didn't think about taking revenge... How can I believe it?"
...
Li Mu originally wanted to go back to Luoyang as soon as possible, but the matter in Chang'an was never finished.
The Interior Affairs Office handed over to the crown prince. Li Mu originally thought he could be idle, but Li Chengqian knew nothing about the Interior Affairs Office. The officials of the East Palace had some abilities. But it was impossible for them to get involved in the Interior Affairs Office. The ten bureaus of the Interior Affairs Office had a unified opinion on this point, that is, the Interior Affairs Office must have its independence and should not become a vassal of the East Palace. They are all talents that Li Mu personally "cultivated" and are very proud. The affairs of the Interior Affairs Office, let alone the officials of the East Palace, they are the bosses of the three provinces and six ministries. If you ask you to do it, can you do it? This is not a matter of high officials and small officials. It is purely a matter of ability. If you don’t understand anything, just talk less.
But for the officials of the Eastern Palace, they can't hold back if they don't speak. They are very clear about the importance of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the prince, it is the foundation of the prince in the future. This foundation will be properly controlled by the Eastern Palace. If the Ministry of Internal Affairs is compared to a small three provinces and six ministries, the officials of the Eastern Palace will regard themselves as the Secretariat, the center, and the brain. We have to take charge of the six ministries. Otherwise, if the prince ascended the throne in the future, who is the planning minister and who is the merit of the dragon? In the end, wasn't it in vain?
There were many conflicts between the two sides about this. The husband said that the husband was right, and the mother said that the mother was right, and the mother made a fuss. Li Chengqian couldn't handle it, so he had to find Li Mu and blocked him at the door of the craftsman's workshop.
Li Mu had heard of this matter for a long time, and he had decided to hand over the Office of the Internal Affairs to Li Chengqian. He had planned to ignore the matter of the Office of the Internal Affairs. But now he was blocked by someone at the gate of the house, and so many people around him were watching him, but he was in extreme irritability.
This matter is not easy to deal with.
In his heart, Li Mu naturally favored everyone in the Internal Affairs Office. But if he did this, he would inevitably cause trouble. He said that he was obviously giving up power, but in fact he still did not want to let go, deceive the emperor and tease the prince.
This is too unfair. If he had this idea, it would be fine if someone said this, but he really didn't have this idea. He really wanted to hand over the Office of the Internal Affairs, because the Office of the Internal Affairs was useless to him. People were not in Chang'an, and remote control was too difficult and there was no need. Now what Li Mu pursued is no longer the word "power", but "money". For him, power is too dangerous, so it's better to be safer. After all, his system goes back to the future, the more money he wants to "eat". Any skill that wants to upgrade from advanced to master level is astronomical.
Li Mu squatted on the shaft of the car, watching the two groups of people arguing, and suddenly felt very funny. Look at the faces of these people. The benevolence, righteousness and morality are not for their own selfishness? But in comparison, the children of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are better. At least they have paid for themselves, and the greasy middle-aged people in the East Palace are a bit ugly and despicable.
"Shut up--" Li Mu finally spoke, but his voice became a little lighter, perhaps no one heard it, and no one paid attention to it. Li Mu was furious and shouted, "Shut up!" Now, he was silent immediately.
"You bunch of bastards!"
When they came up, they attacked each other indiscriminately. Everyone looked at each other, not knowing who Li Mu was scolding. Suddenly, Li Mu pointed his finger at Changsun Chong's forehead and said, "It's you who scolded him!"
Yu Zhining and others immediately breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the people of the Interior Office with a win in complaints with their parents. The Interior Office was naturally dissatisfied, but they were more unaware of it. Since the day the Interior Office was established, they have been Li Mu's die-hard fans. Even when the emperor wanted to kill Li Mu, they had never hesitated and insisted on writing a petition. They were loyal and did not expect to meet the people of the East Palace today, and Li Mu actually turned to outsiders.
"I have told you a long time ago that those who know the current affairs are heroes. Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs is very important, it depends on who you compare with. Are you able to compare with these people in front of you? This is the old man from the East Palace. The prince ascended the throne in the future-" Li Mu glanced at the East Palace and pointed: "This may be the Shizhong, and that may be the Secretariat Ling. You offended them today and you can't think you're going to die well!"
This sentence...
Why did it sound a little different? Yu Zhining and others said it to their throats, and they held it back, looking at Li Chengqian one by one.
Li Chengqian was not stupid either. Naturally, he heard the dissatisfaction in Li Mu's words and hurriedly said: "Brother, my father is in full swing, so don't say that."
"Can't you say that?" Li Mu glanced at Li Chengqian, pulled out the Shangfang sword with a clang, and knocked it twice on the shaft: "Maybe the prince doesn't think so, but I think these officials in the Eastern Palace seem to be a little anxious."
Speaking of this, if you don’t refute it, it’s equivalent to acquiesce. Yu Zhining stood up and said, “How can the Marquis speak like this? Am I not waiting for the country and country of the Tang Dynasty?”
"Oh, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, you have to interfere in the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
There is a pitfall in this sentence, so Yu Zhining would not jump so stupidly inside. He thought for a while and said carefully: "Since Your Majesty has appointed the prince to take over the Office of the Internal Affairs, we, the officials of the Eastern Palace, naturally have to do our best for the prince."
"Ha, do you still remember that you are an official in the Eastern Palace?" Li Mu said in a cold voice, "Just remember your identity. You are an official in the Eastern Palace. Do your business in the Eastern Palace. It's not your turn to take care of the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs—"
"Mr. Marquis!" Yu Zhining was so excited that his face turned red and his neck was thick, and he wanted to argue. Li Mu interrupted him and asked, "Don't be in a hurry to stare at you. I'll ask you, is the Office of the Internal Affairs of His Majesty's Office of the Internal Affairs or the Office of the Crown Prince?"
"Of course it's Your Majesty!" Yu Zhining said, and argued again: "But Your Majesty is now handed over to the prince to manage--"
"Wrong!" Li Mu stared at Yu Zhining and said, "Your Majesty has never said that it is right to hand it over to the prince's management. It is right to hand it over to the prince, but let the prince learn it instead of pointing fingers!"
Li Mu snorted: "Which of the Ten Bureaus of the Interior Government is a waste of money? It is no exaggeration to say that every bureau is the only one. The director and director of each bureau are all first-class talents from the Tang Technical School, and they are all my disciples. I taught it myself and learned my skills! I have no ability and can do things about the Interior Government? If you want to interfere in the Interior Government, let's see what you have to do first!"
"Besides, their current positions are all honored by His Majesty. In other words, their abilities are recognized by His Majesty. It was His Majesty who asked them to hold their current official positions in the Office of the Internal Affairs. Why should you intervene? The prince is still the prince and has not ascended the throne yet, so you will threaten the emperor to order the princes? You are too anxious!"
"We don't!"
"What are you doing?" Li Mu never feared anyone when it comes to quarrels. He pointed at Yu Zhining and said, "Did Your Majesty give the prince authority to the Interior Office? No! What the crown prince needs is ability. Before, the prince had his pseudonym Li Yu and was trained in the Urban Management Bureau of the Interior Office. His Majesty saw the effect and wanted the prince to have a name in the Interior Office. In fact, he also experienced it in the other nine bureaus to increase his experience. Otherwise, what do you think? Which department in the Interior Office can be used casually? The Prince is in charge of the Interior Office? He is still a little tender!"
Yu Zhining was anxious and said, "Li Mu, you are a minister in vain. How dare you insult the crown prince like this?"
Li Chengqian hurriedly said, "Brother said I should, he said."
"Crown Prince, this person has no courtesy! I want to argue with him!"
Li Mu sneered, "I don't have the courtesy of a minister? I'm all witnesses here. I dare to say that when I arrived at His Majesty, I said that I would like to be the teacher of the prince. I didn't agree because I am the same as the prince. The prince is the crown prince. If I am his teacher, it would be inappropriate for him to bow to me. But if the prince wants to learn anything, as long as I know, I can teach him. This is said in front of His Majesty. I don't have the courtesy of a minister?"
"On the contrary, the prince said it himself. I said he said it, you even refuted the prince, who has no courtesy of the minister?"
"I, I..." Yu Zhining was speechless when refuted, knelt in front of Li Chengqian and said anxiously: "Crown Prince, I don't mean what he said, I--"
Li Chengqian was not sensible at all. He also knew that Yu Zhining wanted to gain more benefits for his own good. However, even if he had this intention, he could not do anything about it. The Office of the Internal Affairs was brought by Li Mu, and he suggested that he handed it over to himself. If he said nothing about him, maybe this matter would be ruined and he would have no choice.
"Get up, what the elder brother said."
Yu Zhining stood up, did not dare to talk to Li Mu anymore, and retreated behind Li Chengqian.
Youdao gave him a sweet date to eat. Seeing that he was honest, Li Mu could not do anything bad.
"Every bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has its own rules and regulations. The person who uses it must be qualified. In addition to the Urban Management Bureau, the people used by the other nine bureaus must be graduates with excellent grades in the Tang Technical School. If they cannot meet the graduation standards of the Tang Technical School, no one can get into the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has no shortage of people who are pointing fingers. Today I will put my words here. If you are not convinced, you can go to Your Majesty to impeach me and see if I care or not."
"Your officials in the East Palace want to interfere in the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You can! Go to the Tang Technical School exam and assign you to various bureaus according to the examination results. The position of the director is appointed by Your Majesty. If you don't have your share, don't even think about it. In the future, in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, act according to the rules. If anyone shouldn't say anything, he will point fingers when he has nothing to do, rely on his origin in the East Palace to act recklessly, speak ugly words in front, be careful of his own head!"
After saying that, Li Mu added another sentence and said, "Even the prince is no exception. The ten bureaus of the Internal Affairs Office are like ten courses. Now the Urban Management Bureau has graduated. For the other nine bureaus, the prince needs to take exams and internships one by one. When the prince is proficient in the affairs of the ten bureaus, the internal affairs office has been truly handed over to the prince!"
When Li Chengqian heard this, his eyes suddenly turned black and murmured: "Brother, are you talking about it true? How long has it been-"
"It's not too long, it's not too long, it takes five years, and five years takes ten years. Your Majesty's Spring and Autumn Period is in full swing, and there's time for you to learn!" After saying that, Li Mu returned to the car and his voice came out: "Get out of here. Who dares to stop my car? No matter what the reason is, just chop it up and feed it to the dog!" div@B
