"I still can't promise you!" Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said: "I just looked at the article you wrote, it is this paper on my right hand, to be honest, compared to this paper on my left hand, I really like you more, but because I read your paper, in order to avoid suspicion, I can't point you as the champion." Li Mu, I can now understand the reason why you changed your name to participate in the imperial examination, I can only think that I am sorry for you, the champion of this department, I want to give Ma ......"

Before the word "Zhou" could be spoken, Li Mu interrupted: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for this reason. Your Majesty, you also said that your heart is more fond of the minister's article, since you think the minister's article is good, you should point the minister as the champion, if not, wouldn't it be very unfair to the minister? ”

Li Shimin was ashamed and said, "It's my fault, I admit it!" But if you are the champion, how can you block the mouth of the world's scholars? I and you can't face the corporal of the world! ”

Li Mu laughed and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive the minister, you are the Son of Heaven and you are the emperor." The emperor is dictatorial and the son of the Holy Tomorrow, and this should be even more so. How can you be afraid of the words of men? Ministers never care what others say, this is right, that is right, who is right? The minister doesn't care whether others think it's right or wrong, the minister only cares about what he thinks is right or wrong. If his will is shaken because of other people's remarks, is Li Mu still Li Mu? ”

In front of so many people, Li Mu was refuted several times, Li Shimin was a little annoyed, and said: "Li Mu, you say these words, you just want to be the champion!" I know that you have the talent of the champion, and all the students present are inferior to you, but you are so happy and arrogant, I can't fulfill your wishes, what if I don't give you this champion? ”

“……”

If this person is unreasonable, it really makes no sense to talk about it, especially if the emperor drills the tip of the bull's horns, who can do anything to him?

Insisting that it won't work, Li Mu pondered for a while, changed his routine, he glanced at Wei Zheng, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to say that His Majesty is right or wrong, but the minister can't be convinced, please allow Your Majesty to invite someone who thinks he is upright and upright, and administer justice, if he also says that the minister is not qualified to read the file, then the minister will admit it, if he says that the minister is qualified to read the file, please Your Majesty also temporarily calm the anger of the thunder and give him a face." ”

Li Shimin laughed and said, "I know, you must want to find the Emperor Taishang to make the decision for you, die of this heart, I don't agree." ”

"It's not the Emperor," Li Mu said, "The minister wants to ask Wei Zheng to uphold justice." ”

What the?

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, please ask Wei Zheng to uphold justice? The matter between you and Wei Zheng is clear to the three-year-old child in Chang'an City, and the two of you also made a bet to let him administer justice, what is the difference between giving up and giving up?

Li Shimin was speechless, he looked at Wei Zheng and said, "Since Li Mu said that he wants to uphold justice, Wei Aiqing, you can say something, right?" ”

Wei Zheng glanced at Li Mu with a complicated expression, stepped forward, and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers and ministers think that the Marquis of Zhulu is qualified to read the papers. ”

？？？

On everyone's heads, three question marks popped up in unison, did Wei Zheng take the wrong medicine? He didn't know what Li Mu wanted to do? Looking at this kid's posture, he has to draw a circle on his roll first, so that he has ten circles, and Ma Zhou only has nine, he is the champion!

This also means that if Li Mu's double champion is achieved, you Wei Zheng will have to worship him as a teacher!

Or does Wei Zheng have this habit and want to worship Li Mu as a teacher?

Can't it, it's a character with a head and a face, and he doesn't want a face at all?

Li Shimin was so angry that he couldn't speak, but he was also relieved in his heart, at least Wei Zheng spoke, he didn't have to take this responsibility, Li Mu made himself a champion, the scholars were angry, and they also went to Wei Zhengsa, as the emperor, he stopped it, and he couldn't blame it if he didn't stop it, right?

"Okay, Wei Aiqing said so, and I admit it. Li Mu, you read the papers! Li Shimin accentuated his tone and said, "Self-respect! ”

"Hey, the minister knows."

Li Mu took the cinnabar brush brought by Gao Gonggong, took the test paper, flipped through the one he found himself, drew a circle directly on it, and then put the pen down, got up and saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has finished reading." ”

Everyone almost fainted, and Li Shimin said weakly: "Li Mu, what did I just tell you?" Self-respect, self-respect, self-respect! Even if you want to win, even if you want to be the champion again, can you remember that you are a military marquis from the third rank, and the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? It's not okay to be decent, I'm really, really going to you off! If you do this, my face will be disgraced! ”

"Your Majesty! Listen to the minister. ”

Li Mu said: "Your Majesty, the minister has just said that the minister believes that the virtuous should not avoid relatives and enemies. The minister did the same just now, the minister is a virtuous person, and all the candidates present are inferior to the minister, this point, whether convinced or not, everyone knows it. Your Majesty also knows in his heart, but because of people's words, he can't ask his ministers to be champions. The minister can't approve it, and Wei Gong also understands in his heart that the minister has this qualification, so he helped the minister, which also proves that Wei Gong's character is indeed upright, and the minister is also very impressed, this apprentice, I have no shame in accepting it. ”

Everyone is so angry in their hearts, how early did Wei Zheng become famous, the end of the Sui Dynasty was a famous person recruited by all parties, be your apprentice, are you still afraid of losing face? Why is your face so big?

"Your Majesty, may I ask Your Majesty, the champion of the system, can you order the minister?"

What else could Li Shimin say, he said, "Give it to you, will it be done for you?" Point Li Mu is the champion of the system, Ma Zhou is the leader, who is the third place? Gao Gan, look at who it is, I was so angry that I didn't see it. ”

Gonggong Gao rummaged through the scroll for a while, found a scroll with eight circles, read the first sentence, and stood up A young man was Qin Huaidao. After comparing the gaps, it was confirmed that he was the one on the list.

"Qin Huaidao is the eye of the example, so it's decided, pass the decree, give a banquet!"

Li Shimin was already mad, and he didn't want to stay longer for a moment, so he got up and was about to leave.

"Wait!" Li Mu spoke again, Li Shimin turned his head and said hatefully: "What else do you have to say?" Is it possible, I still have to give you a testimony and let Wei Aiqing worship you as a teacher in public? ”

"Definitely!" Li Mu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you know the minister, the minister is a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, and regards money as dung, and making a bet with Duke Wei is just a joke, he is so old, he must be dull, even if I want to teach him, I can't teach him." Besides, I am good friends with his daughter, so how can I take my friend's father as an apprentice? Seniority is also a problem. The minister has long told His Majesty that the minister's examination is to prove his strength, and he doesn't care if he is not the champion. His Majesty once said that if the minister really has the double champion, he will allow the minister to let the champion out, I don't know if it still counts? ”
