Chapter 705: The Last Stand!
Sun cried bitterly, she knew that she had harmed the Tang family. But Tang Jian behaved very generously, just smiled indifferently, and said: "Madame, don't cry, I originally planned to retire, at this age, it's time to take a break." Although Shuzhou is remote, it is also a place to raise people, let's go there to retire, isn't it beautiful? ”
Tang Jian read the holy decree again and said, "And in Your Majesty's will, there is no intention to drive the Tang family to Shuzhou. The Tang family is still the Tang family, Tang Jian is just Tang Jian, the children have grown up, they can all be independent, and the children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and there is nothing to worry about. ”
"Father." Tang Guan suddenly knelt down, Tang Jian hurriedly bent down to help, but Tang Guan refused to get up: "Father, please allow the child to resign and go to Shuzhou to serve with his father." ”
"How does this work!" Tang Jian said slightly angrily: "This time I go to Shuzhou, with your aunt with me, she can take care of me." You have a future if you stay in Chang'an, and you went to Shuzhou with me, you will be ruined in this life, and your father can't harm you! ”
"Father, the child has made up his mind. Several brothers have started a family, and several sisters have also married, but I am the only one who has not started a family, and I can't talk about starting a business, so I should accompany my father to fulfill my filial piety. As for the official position on my body, it is not necessary for me, and the child himself has a few pounds and taels, and he is still clear in his heart. ”
Tang Jian was about to speak, but Tang Guan preemptively said: "Father doesn't have to feel sorry, what the child wants, please ask the father to fulfill it." ”
At this time, the housekeeper led Li Mu to come, Li Mu entered the house, and was about to bow down, Tang Jian and Tang Guan hurriedly supported him. Tang Jian patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's good that I can come back safely, Your Majesty is still a man of his word." Don't be resentful, Your Majesty also has his own sufferings. ”
Li Mu nodded, Tang Jian had already done a lot for him, as for his own plans, it was his own business, there was no need to involve the Tang family. He knew in his heart that Li Shimin was removing his wings and wanted him to become a lonely minister. Thinking of this, Li Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly, maybe this is the price of his previous arrogance.
"I will repay my kindness in the future." Li Mu said seriously, he rarely promised anything, but this time the favor was too great, and he had to do something.
Tang Jian smiled, although he said that when he did this, he didn't think about Li Mu's repayment. But Li Mu can give such a promise, which still makes him feel a lot relieved. He also wanted to tell Tang Guan about his resignation, so he asked Li Mu's mother and son to talk alone, and he took Tang Guan to the study.
"Mother," Li Mu called his mother, wanting to say something, but he didn't know where to start. When he was in a coma, he already knew that Li Mu was not Sun's son, but at that time, after all, he was pretending to be dizzy, and Sun didn't know that he already knew, but this time, the matter was already on the bright side, and neither mother nor son could avoid it.
"I wanted to tell you earlier, but you're the child I raised, and I don't have any news of your biological parents, so I-"
"Mother, even if I am not your biological child, you are also my biological mother." Li Mu knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply, Sun's tears could no longer be held back, he pulled Li Mu up, hugged him tightly, and cried loudly.
After crying for a while, under Li Mu's comfort, Sun gradually calmed down. She told Li Mu about Li Shimin's will to Tang Jian, and Li Mu knew that Tang Jian was actually sent to Shuzhou by Li Mu.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has access to businessmen from all over the world, and the news is the most convenient. Li Mu also has some understanding of the situation in Shuzhou. It was not a peaceful place, and the Miao descendants entrenched in the territory had always been hostile to the Central Plains Dynasty, and they would cause chaos at every turn. The Central Plains Dynasty didn't have much to do with them, they couldn't kill them all, they didn't care, they didn't obey them. Not only in the Tang Dynasty, but also in later generations, it was also a stubborn disease, and it was not until the Ming Dynasty changed the land and returned to the stream that the situation was somewhat relieved.
Li Mu couldn't think of any good way for a while. He looked at Sun and asked, "Is my mother going with me too?" ”
Sun nodded and said, "My mother is already married to Tang Jian and is already a member of the Tang family." He saved you with the card of avoiding death, his mother owes him love, and he can't finish being a cow or a horse in this life, following him and serving him is what my mother should do. Now that your life experience, my mother has also told you, and a piece of heart disease has been put down. In the future, you have to live a good life, and if you can find a bearded customer, you can know who your real parents are. ”
"Mother, I don't want to look for them."
Sun stroked Li Mu's cheek and said, "Child, you are also going to be a father." It should be understood that who can not have their own children if they are not really in trouble? Don't hate them, you are a filial child, do you understand what your mother means? ”
"Hmm." Li Mu nodded in agreement, but he still didn't change his mind in his heart, the possibility that Sun said was not impossible, but he didn't agree. In his previous life, he didn't think about going to his parents, and in this life, he didn't have such thoughts. After all, the so-called biological parents are also the parents of the original Li Mu, and he is a person who has crossed over, what does it have to do with him.
Seeing that Li Mu agreed, Sun smiled with satisfaction, thought of Bai Qiaoqiao again, and instructed for a while before letting Li Mu go to the study to meet Tang Jian.
Tang Jian and Tang Guan were arguing, Li Mu walked to the door of the study, heard the quarrel inside, stopped and listened for a while, and then understood the general idea.
"Big brother." Tang saw Li Mu and hurriedly walked over, wanting him to help persuade him. Li Mu understood what he meant, thought about it, and said to Tang Jian: "Just let Tang Guan follow——"
"But..."
Li Mu said what he said to Li Shimin to Tang Jian, and said: "Your Majesty's jealousy of me is the same as the jealousy of the gate valve family, and it is impossible to restore trust to the past." I am about to go to Luoyang to take up my post, and you have also been arranged to Shuzhou, and it is not necessarily a good thing for him to leave Tang Guan in Chang'an. ”
Tang Jian was silent for a while, and said, "Li Mu, can I ask you, do you hate Your Majesty?" ”
Li Mu shook his head and said, "If you don't hate, you can only blame myself." Sighing, Li Mu said again: "Companion is like a tiger, the person who said this sentence is really a person with great wisdom, I am very confused now, I may need some time to think about it, what to do in the future." ”
Tang Jian motioned for Li Mu to sit down and said, "Since I talked about these things today, I might as well talk a few more words." Li Mu, do you know why I chose to speak out and persuade the Emperor Taishang to raise troops? ”
Li Mu shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
"Because of Your Majesty."
Li Mu was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty today? ”
Tang Jian nodded and said, "My father and the Emperor Taishang are friends for the New Year. The two of them were in charge of the Sui Palace Guards, so I have known His Majesty for a long time. When I was young, Meng Lang did not follow the rules, traveled in the wild on the rivers and lakes, and was obsessed with physiognomy. I once met an old Taoist priest and learned the art of looking at qi from him, and when I met His Majesty today, I found that this person and the old Taoist priest taught me the art of looking at qi can correspond one by one, and I feel that this young man, he will become a great weapon one day. ”
"Qi Seeking?" Li Mu felt a little suspenseful, frowned, and said, "Is this thing really accurate?" ”
"Actually, I don't know." Tang Jian smiled: "I'm not the apprentice of that Taoist priest, I just learned some fur from it." But over the years, I've used it to see people, and I've never been allowed to do so. What I want to tell you is that your Majesty's luck is flourishing today, and you are still young, so don't be hot in your head-"
Li Mu understood what Tang Jian meant, and wanted to tell him not to take risks and go to the opposite side of Li Shimin because he was dissatisfied.
This is a kind heart, Li Mu hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion." ”
"If only you could think like that." Tang Jian looked at Tang Guan and said: "Li Mu, what you just said makes sense, it is indeed inappropriate for Tang Guan to stay in Chang'an, but he can't go to a place like Shuzhou with me, if you don't think he is not a talent, take him with you, with you to take care of it, I can learn some skills, and I can rest assured." ”
"This ......" Li Mu hesitated for a moment, and seeing that Tang Guan's eyes were burning, he didn't seem to have any intention of objecting, so he agreed, and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best to teach him." ”
"That's the best."
Tang Jian is also very satisfied with this result, if Tang Guan can learn half of Li Mu's skills, this is worth the card.
The matter is settled, and the big guys are happy in their hearts. At that moment, Tang Jian asked the housekeeper to hold a banquet, and Bai Qiaoqiao and Jin Chen also had a happy meal together. The next day, Li Mu went to heaven and earth again, Li Yuan saw that Li Mu was fine, and he was in a good mood, so he asked Li Yourong to drive the guests away, and the whole heaven and earth were empty, and he sent someone to invite people who said good things for Li Mu to come to the banquet.
The news that Li Yuan invited people to the banquet soon spread throughout Chang'an City. The eldest grandson Wuji also received the news at the first time, he planned the whole thing, but it failed at the last moment, and he was very unwilling, he already knew that this matter was bad for his own sister, and he also knew that Li Shimin began to doubt the evidence he provided. But he still hasn't given up, a conspirator will definitely have the courage to gamble, he still has one last trick, if it happens, he will change and reverse the defeat!
He wanted to bet that Li Mu was really Li Jiancheng's son!
This is not groundless! Although, this time to deal with Li Mu, the intention was to frame. But as things progressed and the investigation deepened, there were indeed some vague points to this answer in the evidence he received. Perhaps, this time it is crooked, Li Mu is very likely to be Li Jiancheng's son.
Now is to prove it! Although the possibility is very small, but it has reached this point, he must not be reconciled if he does not gamble and give it a try.
The eldest grandson Wuji sat in the study for a quarter of an hour, thought clearly about the possible consequences, and went straight to the imperial city.
……
Heaven and earth!
"I knew that His Majesty was reluctant to kill you!"
Cheng Biting Jin's voice was loud, and his voice almost overpowered all the noise in the lobby: "You kid is so capable and has made such a great contribution, if Your Majesty kills you, what else is Mingjun called?" I knew there was a doorway, and if there really was, there really was. Your Majesty's means are high, through this matter, some people's faces can be seen clearly! You don't know, yesterday His Majesty's will was sent to Wang Jue's mansion, and today, Wang Jue's old boy is begging for old age! ”
"Is there such a thing?" Li Mu was thinking about how to clean up Wang Jue, the old boy, before leaving, but he didn't expect Li Shimin to attack him first. This can't help but make Li Mu re-examine Li Shimin's attitude, it seems that what he is trying to do this time is not only as simple as himself, this is obviously killing two birds with one stone. Borrow the door valve to hit yourself, and then borrow yourself to knock on the door valve.
Although Wang Jue has always been a wall-header, he was born in the Taiyuan Wang family, and his prestige is also high among the five surnames and seven sects. Eliminating Wang Jue is equivalent to driving the Taiyuan Wang clan out of Menxia Province, and the gate valve force has also broken an arm.
"Who else?"
"I don't remember anyone else clearly, in general, those who jumped out to trouble you have been punished, and the lowest is to be degraded and punished, and the unlucky ones are like Wang Qi's old boy, who was ordered to be a minister." Cheng Biting Jin patted Li Mu's shoulder and said, "See, Your Majesty still values you." You don't have to worry too much, Luoyang is a good place, it doesn't hurt to stay there for a year and a half, Your Majesty will call you back sooner or later. ”
Cheng Yanjin leaned close to Li Mu's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You have a day to be recalled, but Wang Jue's old boy doesn't." Those who were demoted this time are not so easy to be promoted, and when you come back, who will still be your opponent? Your Majesty's intentions are good, don't be unappreciative. ”
"Appreciation is naturally appreciation, don't you need to say this." Li Mu said seriously, but he was thinking in his heart, whether Cheng Biting Jin's words came from the heart, or was instructed by Li Shimin, just as he was thinking, he caught a glimpse of Gao Gonggong out of the corner of his eye, tilted his head to look over, and just saw Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji walking in from the back door and walking to the second floor.
"Li Mu, Your Majesty summons."
As expected, Father-in-law Gao walked over, Li Mu nodded to Cheng Biting Jin, followed Father-in-law Gao upstairs, and entered the private room where Li Shimin was.
In the private room, there are only Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji. Li Shimin motioned for Li Mu to sit down, and Li Mu sat down after saluting. Li Shimin looked at Li Mu, and seemed to be a little hesitant, whether to open his mouth or not, at this time, the eldest grandson Wuji spoke for him, and said bluntly: "Li Mu, I persuaded Your Majesty to come." I won't hide it from you this time, I just want to know if you are the queen of Prince Yin. ”
Li Mu glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji and said, "It turned out to be you!" Uncle Guo, there doesn't seem to be any grudge between you and me, why do you want to harm me? ”
"It's not harmful." The eldest grandson Wuji's face was calm, and he said, "Li Mu, I never meant to harm you. I am out of the duty of a courtier, for His Majesty to point out possible hidden dangers, if you are really the hidden prince, even if you have no objection now, but no one can guarantee that ten years, twenty years later, your mind will not change. Your ability is obvious to all, if you don't deal with it now, it will be a big hidden danger to Your Majesty and Datang. ”
"What do you think?"
"Recognize relatives with blood!"
