Qin Mubai has always been a very confident person. No matter in his previous life or in this life, no one has given him such a strong sense of compulsion among the people he has come into contact with. Although Li Shimin's expression is very calm now and his words do not show any edge.
, but Qin Mubai clearly felt that a murderous intention was beginning to spread around him. It was like a game of chess. On the surface, it looked calm, but in fact, there was a hidden killer move. It was also like two masters of martial arts dueling, no one moved, but no one moved.
Dare to reveal any flaws at this time, otherwise the opponent will kill you with one strike and you will be defeated.
Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, it is true!
"Your Majesty wants to ask how this matter will end... I have no virtue and incompetence, and I can't think of any clever plan to relieve Your Majesty." Qin Mubai thought about it again and again, and said, "But Wei Chen has the stupidest and most direct way to solve it.
this problem."
"speak."
"Kill Wei Chen." Qin Mubai cupped his fists and said calmly.
Li Shimin's eyebrows finally twitched and his expression changed slightly.
"What crime do you have that makes you want me to kill you?"
"I am not guilty, but I am wrong." Qin Mubai said, "My existence has affected the marriage arranged by His Majesty the Emperor for the princess. If I do not die, Your Highness the Princess will have an excuse not to marry Fang Yiai. Your Majesty's imperial edict has been
Your Majesty, if the princess and Fang Yi are unable to consummate their marriage, it will greatly damage the monarch's authority and lose the royal face. Those who serve as ministers should share the worries of the monarch. Especially the ministers who serve as hundreds of knights must maintain the dignity of the royal family and defend His Majesty's dragon.
Prestige is a matter of duty. Therefore, it is just right for Your Majesty to execute the humble minister."
After listening to these words, Li Shimin remained silent for a long time. His eyes were like daggers, and he stared straight at Qin Mubai.
"You are wrong, Mu Bai." Li Shimin said after a long while, "I once remembered that Wei Zheng once said that monarchs and ministers assist each other and have the same righteousness. If we do not talk about doing things impartially, but only talk about avoiding suspicion, then the country will
The rise and fall may be unknown. He asked me to make him a good minister instead of a loyal minister. I then asked him, what is the difference between a loyal minister and a good minister? Wei Zheng replied at that time, ministers bring a good reputation to themselves, and make the ruler a wise ruler and have descendants.
Successively, if you have unlimited fortune and wealth, you are a good minister; if you are killed, your ruler becomes a tyrant, and your family and country are in ruins, for nothing, you are a loyal minister."
After saying that, Li Shimin paused: "You let me kill you to fulfill your reputation of sacrificing your life for justice, loyalty and patriotism, but you want me to become a tyrant and a coward?"
"This... this is really not what I want." Qin Mubai lowered his head and handed over his hands in apology, "We are stupid and can't think of any other way."
Li Shimin walked out from the imperial desk with his hands cut behind his back, walked a few steps to Qin Mubai, and patted his shoulder: "Mubai, you are very capable. You are a young and talented person who is charming and unrestrained. You can inadvertently please women. This
This is human nature. A good daughter is like a father. Gao Yang deliberately claimed that he would not marry anyone but you, but in fact he had ulterior motives. To put it bluntly, you were just being used by her, and it was all out of helplessness."
"My Holy Emperor!" Qin Mubai gritted his teeth and clasped his fists heavily.
"She can use you, or she can use other people, any other man." Li Shimin sighed, took back his hand and continued pacing, and said, "It's only my fault that I have spoiled her rotten over the years. In fact, I have spoiled her rotten.
, this world belongs to me, it belongs to the Li family; but on the other hand, I and the people of the Li family also belong to the world. Including me, all the royal family must have the consciousness to make sacrifices at all times. I still
Princess Gaoyang was only betrothed to the son of a loyal minister, but how many princesses have been married to foreign countries throughout the ages? They are also making sacrifices for the imperial power and the country. Gao Yang did not expect this, she only thought that I was
I don't want her anymore, I want to reward her as an object. In fact, I have always regarded her as my heart. But my daughter will get married eventually, and she can't stay with her parents all her life. I will marry her now
Fang Xuanling, it's better than marrying her to a foreign country, right?"
Qin Mubai's heart was moved, and he asked tentatively: "Is it possible that some foreign country has come to propose marriage to Your Majesty?... Your Majesty, please forgive me. This is a national matter, and a humble minister should not ask."
