Chapter 805
Li Shimin's words were seen as Wei Zheng said, but the pressure he exuded was against everyone. After all, Li Shimin was not the emperors who were held captive by civil officials in the Ming and Qing dynasties. He had been fighting for life and was decisive and decisive. When he made a decision, there were very few people who dared to offend his face.
Even Wei Zheng must be reasoned and well-founded to speak out. At this moment, Li Shimin has expressed his attitude that giving marriage is my family business and has nothing to do with you.
If everyone still doesn't understand, it's just his test that Guan'er has really done it in the dog's belly over the years.
Wei Zheng stumbled for a moment, but in the end he didn't say anything. People only knew that Wei Zheng was a person who dared to speak out, but he was valued by Li Shimin throughout his life, and it was not enough to just speak out. He was also a person who knew how to advance and retreat. As Li Shimin said, this was just a family matter after all.
Another reason is that although the King of Jin is the legitimate son, he is the youngest among the legitimate sons. Now the prince has also been calm and has worked hard to learn government affairs and manage the power of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The King of Wei Li Tai also looks like a big shot. It is said that the Literature Museum has been almost ready. It can be said that the two princes are the ones among the people. The King of Jin is more than teenagers younger than the two, and his future throne will definitely not be the King of Jin.
Although the King of Jin was loved by His Majesty, he ended up choosing a wealthy place to be a vassal. As the Princess of Jin, Li Mu's daughter had no major impact. If she were the Crown Princess, she would have to worry about whether Li Mu's talent would lead to the autocracy of the relatives.
It’s not a good thing to do with the emperor. What’s more, I’m going to do something like a Li Mu? His daughter is now running to Luoyang like an elopement. It’s not a good deal to offend Li Mu. I’m not afraid of being old, but I’m afraid he will attack his daughter!
Wei Zheng stopped talking, no matter how brave the others were, they dared not speak out. Li Shimin asked Eunuch Gao to help Changsun Wuji up, and the court talk ended in a strange atmosphere.
...
The harem claimed to be ignorant of politics, and Empress Changsun did do this, but this does not mean that the harem did not know anything in the court. In fact, Empress Changsun could know almost every day about anything that happened, but she just pretended that most of the things she didn't know.
But she could not think that it was a matter of her own children. As soon as Li Shimin arrived at the Tai Chi Palace, Empress Changsun arrived. Li Shimin was about to read the memorials of the young eunuch who moved in. Seeing Empress Changsun coming in, she was not surprised to signal Eunuch Gao and others to withdraw. In the huge Tai Chi Palace, only Li Shimin and Empress Changsun and his wife were left.
Empress Changsun's face was full of anger, and she stared at Li Shimin for a while, suppressed her anger and asked calmly: "Why?"
“What’s why?”
"You know what I'm asking!" Queen Changsun gritted her teeth and her voice trembled: "You once told me that you will not let power conspiracy involve our children! Your Majesty, have you forgotten?"
"How can this be a power conspiracy?" Li Shimin said with confusion, "The daughter of Zhinu and Li Mu are about the same age. Li Mu is a minister I rely on. Isn't it good to have a good family and be close to each other?"
"Isn't this a power scheme?" Empress Changsun was so angry that she smiled: "Your Majesty doesn't know what a power scheme is?"
"I really don't understand what the Queen said about the power and scheming is," Li Shimin said calmly: "I and the Queen are also in a good match. If this marriage is considered a power and scheming, then I and the Queen are also power and scheming. All marriages in the royal family are also power and scheming. In this way, can people in the royal family marry and scheming?"
"Your Majesty!" Empress Changsun was choked by Li Shimin and was so angry that she couldn't speak. Li Shimin seemed to not want to bother her more about this matter. Before Empress Changsun could say it, she said it herself: "If the queen thinks that the generation is different, I have thought about it too. Just talk about it. I am not a regular person, and Li Mu is not. I feel that there is nothing wrong with this matter."
"You clearly know that Li Mu is likely to be Li Jiancheng's son!" Empress Changsun finally couldn't recognize him, exposing Li Shimin's thoughts: "You want to use this to block the suspicion of the people in the world. If Li Mu's daughter married King Jin, Li Mu would not be Li Jiancheng's son, at least in the eyes of the people in the world!"
Empress Changsun became more and more angry as she said: "But what if he is? He is very likely! If he is, then his daughter will have blood relatives with Zhinu. How can she get married? You still say it is not for power? Your Majesty, why is this?"
"Why is this?" After being exposed, Li Shimin stopped hiding it and said, "I'm here to tell you, why is this!" He pointed out and said, "Look at this world, is the world my world? My government orders will not leave Chang'an! Local clans will not respect the king! Unless I use force, no one in the world will listen to me! Is this world still my world?"
"The civil and military officials in the court have their own thoughts. They do not seek fame for their own interests! Even your biological brother and my brother-in-law are not the same as me! Who else can I rely on?"
These words seemed to be held in Li Shimin's heart for a long time, and finally released: "It was Li Mu, who let me see that this situation can change. He is doing it and it has achieved initial results! He can force the major clans to retreat, he can allow the new policy to be implemented. He can think of road construction and link Chang'an and Luoyang, and he can use this method to force the merchants to pay commercial taxes! More importantly, he is not for anyone! Behind him, there are no clans and no nobles, he is not even for himself, not for me, he is for the Tang Dynasty and the people!"
"How can I not use such a person?" Li Shimin was angry with someone and slapped the table suddenly: "But I can't believe him. Even if I know that he has no desire for the world, I can't believe him. Therefore, I must think of a way to make me believe him. This method can only be a marriage!"
"You said that he might be the eldest brother's child, but there is no evidence now!" Li Shimin's eyes were bright: "I don't want to pursue it anymore. Even if he is, in my heart, he is not. He must be no, yes, nor! Doing this will be good for me, Li Mu, and the world! Queen, do you understand my hard work?"
Queen Changsun had no way to refute it. From the perspective of interests, Li Shimin did it right. But she still couldn't accept it. The young man in her memory, who was wearing silver armor and furious horse, became what he looked like today.
He obviously isn't like this.
Empress Changsun smiled sadly, turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly, her body shook, staggered several steps, and fell to the ground. Li Shimin hurried over and saw Empress Changsun's face turned pale, and knew that she had a headache again, and felt guilty.
"Come here, go and invite Liu Shenwei!"
Doctor Sun was not here, so he had to use his apprentice first.
...
Li Shimin's decree was sent to Luoyang without passing through the Secretariat, directly by the eunuch under Eunuch Gao.
"The imperial edict said: I heard that the Marquis of Luoyang had a daughter, and I and the Queen were very happy to hear it. The Imperial Heavenly Supervisor said that the Marquis of Luoyang loved their daughters and was extremely noble. They were so worthy of heaven and earth to be made of the king of Jin. In order to make a beautiful woman, they specially betrothed the King of Jin as a concubine. When they were married in the year of the throne, they were called this. They informed the Chinese and foreigners, and they heard this. They were called this-"
After finishing reading, the eunuch handed the imperial edict to Li Mu, with a smile on his face and said, "Congratulations to the Marquis, congratulations to the Marquis. The King of Jin is His Majesty's legitimate son, and he is extremely noble. Your Majesty is so kind to the Marquis, but no one can compare to it."
"Isn't this a mess--" Li Mu frowned, but refused to accept the order. The little eunuch was stunned. He had seen the world and had not issued the order dozens of times. This was the first time he had seen him not accept the order. Not to mention seeing him, he had never heard of him.
What did you hear just now? Did the Marquis of Luoyang say that His Majesty is making a fuss?
"Marty, please accept the order-"
"No!" Li Mu did not mean to raise his hand, but instead carried his hand behind him: "I asked Your Majesty to report back to you, and I said that I thank Your Majesty for your love, but the matter of giving a marriage is absolutely not feasible. First of all, I am your Majesty's son and nephew, and I am the same as King of Jin. When King of Jin talks about it, I am still my daughter's uncle, how can my uncle and nephew intermarry?"
The little eunuch hurriedly said, "Your Majesty has passed the message, saying that it is his own discussion."
"How can this be done?" Li Muyi said righteously: "I, Li Mu, are reading the books of sages! I will never do anything that violates etiquette!"
"..." The little eunuch was completely confused. How did he answer this? Who in Chang'an doesn't know what kind of virtue you, Li Mu, do you dare to say that you are a sage book and you are not afraid of your tongue breaking?
The little eunuch knew that he was not Li Mu's opponent by a hundred words. Eunuch Gao had already told him before, but he couldn't say it, just do what he should do. The little eunuch remembered this sentence, handed his hand forward, and said, "Marty, don't make things difficult for us. We have many orders, and we have never heard of those who do not accept the order. This time, I don't know what to do. It's hard to explain to Your Majesty."
"I care whether you will explain it or not," If Eunuch Gao was in person, Li Mu might be able to give him some face, but is it just a little eunuch under his command? It would be nice if Li Mu could treat him as an individual: "Whatever you ask you to say, you will say whatever you want to say, you are just a eunuch who has sent the order. Your Majesty wants to take his anger, but he will not be angry with you!"
After saying that, he signaled Li Siwen next to him. Li Siwen took out a ingot from his sleeve and threw it to the eunuch, saying, "Dear, take advantage of my elder brother's ability to talk to you well, and hurry up with the reward. When the temper comes to you, it will be useless to beat you. Your godfather will not turn against my elder brother for you."
If it were something else, the eunuch would have left with a sense of knowledge. But this time it was different. He sent the imperial edict, and the meaning was different. If he took the imperial edict back, he would not be able to bear the charge. On the one hand, he would be beaten and on the other hand, he would have to choose to be beaten.
The little eunuch knelt on the ground, hugged Li Mu's thighs and cried, "Mr. Marquis, don't be embarrassed by the small ones. If the young one takes the imperial edict back, they will definitely not be able to survive. Since our Tang Dynasty, we have never heard of people who do not accept the imperial edict. Marquis, be good, take this imperial edict."
"If you don't accept it, I won't accept it if you say it, I won't accept it!" Li Mu kicked the eunuch away and said, "Can I not do anything no one does? I didn't have it before, but now I don't accept it now, so what can I do? Your Majesty is so confused. How can I protect the media? My daughter has just been born for less than three days and I haven't thought about her name. She will marry her? Impossible! Before the horse was taken, no one would think of her daughter, and Your Majesty is not easy to do. I can listen to Your Majesty, but this is the only thing I would rather die than surrender!"
The little eunuch was so scared that he didn't dare to breathe, which made Li Siwenle feel very upset and said indifferently: "Brother said it well, how can the eldest niece marry casually? I have to marry my son when I have a son."
"Bah!" Li Mu cursed: "You give birth to your son first, don't get close to me. My daughter has to marry someone as powerful as his father. If your son doesn't have this ability, he won't think about it!"
"Brother!" Li Siwen shouted: "That's not what you said before. I remember that when we were in Dingxiang, you promised me."
"It used to be the past, it is now. How could I know I could give birth to a daughter?"
Seeing the two of them quarrel, the little eunuch really cried. There was no law in the king. Don’t you care about His Majesty’s imperial edict? He knelt down and cried and begged: “Mr. Marquis, you can do it if you don’t accept the imperial edict. Then write a note to explain it, otherwise the young man will be dead when he goes back!"
"Dare you threaten me?" Li Mu glared and said, "What a courage!"
The little eunuch had to play a scoundrel: "Marty, why don't you kill me, it's better than going back to take the tricks of your godfather." The little eunuch was right, Li Mu could not kill him. After all, he was the imperial envoy who sent the order. Li Mu killed him like a rebellion. This was not a question of whether he dared to dare, but for Li Mu, it was somewhat inappropriate.
As expected, Li Mu saw that he was determined, he thought about it for a while, called paper and pen, wrote a note, put it in the envelope, and handed it to the eunuch, and said, "This is a letter from home, and I won't be too angry, but if the content is leaked, you can do it yourself."
"I guarantee my life with my life. I will definitely hand it over to Your Majesty with my own hands. No one will see a word!" The eunuch stopped crying and took the letter with great care. This was related to his life and he could not be careless. He was afraid that Li Mu would repent and change his mind, so he didn't even want the reward, so he turned around and left, which was so straightforward.
After all, it was the imperial envoy who sent the order, so it was not good to go back like this. Li Siwen chased after him and forced the Yuanbao to him. When he returned to the lobby, he saw Li Mu frowning and no longer had the arrogance he had just now.
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Li Mu sighed and said, "Your Majesty still doesn't believe me after all."
Li Siwen wondered: "Since the eldest brother knows what Your Majesty is, wouldn't it be better for your Majesty to believe it? Why did he refuse to give the marriage?"
