Zhang Tianai was a little puzzled and said: "Husband, I don't really understand, most of the people in the rivers and lakes do their own thing, and they are not easy to control. Those who follow the rules will not become Jianghu people, if you stipulate them like this, will they abide by them? ”

"It's okay not to comply." Li Mu said indifferently: "There are two paths for them to choose, either they leave the border of the Tang Dynasty, and we will not stop them, or they will be enemies of the imperial court, and those who are enemies of the imperial court will be killed." Those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me die, and slowly become rules. ”

"Hmm-" Zhang Tianai didn't know what to say, Li Mu in her impression was not so murderous, when he talked about something before, his solution would not usually be to kill, but now, he can say the word 'kill' very indifferently.

However, thinking of what Li Mu did in Gaochang City, she was not surprised. This husband of hers has never been a good temper, and when it is time to kill, he will never be soft, she just can't understand why Li Muhui is so strict with the people of the rivers and lakes.

In fact, Li Mu thought very simply, he just wanted to restrain the civilian armed forces. Of course, he knew that it was impossible to be completely restrained, but it was not useless to do it. First, it cannot be fully constrained, but a part of it can be constrained. Second, the sects that can be distinguished and do not come to register obviously do not take the imperial court seriously, in other words, they belong to the object of 'non-cooperation' work. In the end, this is Li Mu's real purpose. For these objects who do not cooperate with the work, if the imperial court will 'ban' or 'crack down' in the future, then 'don't blame the unprepared'.

And Li Mu's attack on these people also has a purpose. Out of consideration at the level of the imperial court, "Han Feizi" once said that Confucianism uses literature to mess with the law, and chivalry uses martial arts to violate the ban. The sentence Confucianism and literature chaos basically did not appear when Li Shimin was in power, because Li Shimin was a strong emperor and could be regarded as the founding king. All the civil and military generals, even those who are outspoken such as Wei Zheng, have no ability to shake his foundation. This is different from the kings of later generations, the kings of later generations, even if they are like Li Zhizhi, when he succeeds to the throne, there are some elders or 'ministers who care for life' and other 'guidance' him, such as Li Ji, the eldest grandson Wuji, the powerful ministers and noble relatives to get power, and Li Shimin's generation, this situation cannot happen, therefore, Confucianism is chaotic with the law, and there is no need to worry about it for the time being.

But the phrase 'chivalry and forbidden' is something that needs to be worried about at the moment. Not to mention anything else, in the previous assassinations, the one in Xiaoyao Valley, although the people of the Six Gates were the main force, there were also some 'Heshuo heroes' who participated in it, and the assassination that Li Mu suffered in Mayi, probing the roots, was basically a person from the rivers and lakes. They know martial arts, and they have skills beyond ordinary people, so they are surrounded by some people with ulterior motives and become hidden dangers.

However, if they are regulated by sects and bound into a single interest group, they will have scruples about doing things again. At the same time, some of them were recruited for the use of the imperial court. Using them to contain themselves is also a way to save worry and effort for the imperial court.

And in Li Mu's own considerations, he also has his own difficulties.

He was in dire need of people.

He needs people to do things for him, to do the affairs of the court, to do his own affairs, and even to the dead. The people Li Shimin gave him can be used, but loyalty cannot be guaranteed. After so many things, he can't fully trust Li Shimin, and he has to have his own people to protect the safety of his relatives at the most critical time.

There are people on the rivers and lakes, all three religions and nine streams. The layout has just begun, and Li Mu is not in a hurry. He was just worried that his thoughts would be detected by Li Shimin or his opponent too early, disrupting his layout, and when he was already in the general situation, it didn't matter if he was detected. He has enough ability to protect himself, and he has enough ability to make his opponents jealous.

Li Mu personally picked up the pen and wrote a charter for Jinyiwei to implement, and after the cooking was done, he went home with Zhang Tianai after 'getting off work'. When he got home, Jin Chen had already returned, and was preparing the charcoal copper pot with Xiaozhu and others, Bai Qiaoqiao couldn't help with her big belly, and she was anxious to watch from the side, so she didn't sit down. Her character is the character of not being served by others, and when she was with Li Zhien at the earliest, she never regarded herself as a lady and Li Zhien as a maid.

is such a character that Li Mu likes it so much.

The Li family usually eats at a large table, but after Li Mu's wives become more and more, like Xiaozhu, they automatically and consciously open another table. It's the same today, two tables have been prepared, and there are more and more waiters in Fengqiuhuang, and now they are a little crowded when they get together at one table.

Li Mu looked at the empty seat on the table, picked up the chopsticks and couldn't get off the chopsticks for a long time, a little blocked. Thinking about crossing through by yourself, but as a result, you can't even reunite with your family, what's the meaning of such a life.

But what if we have to be together? Now this world is not like the world before he crossed over, this country can't stay, you can go to another country. In today's world, where else can you go except Datang? Do you want to go to the steppe, to the desert, to be a barbarian?

"Husband, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Tianai has a straightforward personality, and he can't stand Li Mu's sentimental sighing every day, and he can't help but mumble. Bai Qiaoqiao looked at him like this, put down his chopsticks, and held his hand. Jin Chen gave Zhang Tianai vegetables, wanting to block her mouth and not let her say any more.

Li Mu sighed and said, "I don't want to do this either, but I feel sorry for myself before it's time to eat." Now that my mother is in Shuzhou, Zhi'en has returned to Silla, and Sister Ou doesn't know where she is, the eldest one, the little Jiu'er, Siwen, and the father-in-law, they are not around, and my heart is empty. When we first arrived in Chang'an, we had a very happy life. How did it come to this? ”

Li Mu didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, Jin Chen and Zhang Tianai didn't feel much, but Bai Qiaoqiao could empathize with Li Mu. yes, how did it become the way it is?

"Isn't it because I don't work hard? Am I not working? Whoever has a problem, I can help all of them. I made millions of dollars in family fortune, and in the end, there were not a few words in the family, and they were all given away. Now that Chang'an City has a new look, most of it is my money, isn't it enough to do this? Why is this day worse than day by day, and the more it passes, the more it will not become! ”

"Are you weird when you say that?"

A voice came from the back door, scaring everyone to leave the table and salute, Li Mu glanced at it, and swallowed it slowly, and made a salute that was not standard no matter how you look at it, and said: "Where Your Majesty speaks, everything the minister does for Your Majesty is willing, but it's just self-pity, a few complaints, and just adding to the joke." ”
