Chapter 711: Kidnapping the Imperial Family
Dou Ren cried and shouted, "What the hell do you want to do!" Tell me, I'll promise you whatever you say, please don't let me smell this shit anymore! I'm going to die! Li Mu saw that he was really pitiful, so he reached out to untie the rope, and at this moment, Dou Ren was struggling desperately, and when the rope was about to be uncovered and not untied, he struggled like this-
"Ah......h
Li Mu was nauseous for a while, and he vomited all of a sudden.
……
After Dou Ren took a bath three times, he was finally willing to come out to meet Li Mu. He put a dagger in his sleeve, pondered and waited for a while, and when Li Mu was unprepared, he pulled out the dagger and killed him. Just fell off the beam and made his head full of shit, this shame, he will never forget in his life, he has to kill Li Mu in order to relieve the hatred in his heart.
Stepping into the study, Dou Ren was even more angry. I saw Li Mu sitting behind the table, reading the Spring and Autumn Festival seriously. It seems that the master here is not him Dou Ren, but him Li Mu. I have long heard that this kid is arrogant, but I didn't expect it to be so arrogant, even if His Majesty the Emperor came, because of his seniority, he would definitely not do such an unreasonable thing to him, how dare he-
Could it be that Dou Ren thought of a terrible possibility, could it be that his own actions reached the ears of the emperor, and the emperor was hindered by family affection and could not come forward, so he sent Li Mu to beat himself?
Dou Ren was obviously thinking too much, he was a person who appeared in Li Shimin's head, how could Li Shimin send Li Mu over to deal with him. But even if this is the case for an idiot, even if someone wakes him up at this time, he will not understand that once this thought arises, it is like a seed, taking root in his heart.
Dou Ren lingered at the door for a while, and finally gritted his teeth, took the dagger out of his sleeve, glanced left and right, and threw it aside. When he turned around again, his face was still full of smiles: "Zhuluhou is watching the Spring and Autumn Festival?" I also like to read it, just put it on the table, so that it is easy to flip through it, the Spring and Autumn Left Biography, the subtle words, the righteousness-"
Li Mu looked up at him, threw Chunqiu aside, revealing the small album inside. The air instantly became embarrassed, the expression on Dou Ren's face was wonderful, and he thought to himself, this thing was hidden very carefully, how could he see it? And how did he know that he was accustomed to wrapping these pamphlets in the spring and autumn to read? Is he in my house, with eyeliner?
I have long heard that His Majesty the Emperor has an organization that supervises the world, and calls it 'bad people', could it be that this bad people have already infiltrated my mansion?
Thinking of this, Dou Ren felt a little cold in his neck, Dou Ren took a deep breath, raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
Li Mu only saw Dou Ren's face constantly changing, where could he guess what he was thinking. He was a little sorry for what happened just now, and was hesitating to apologize, when suddenly, Dou Ren knelt down!
"What is this?" Li Mu was a little confused, but he didn't speak and waited to see what happened.
Dou Ren cried: "Master Hou, I am guilty. I'm arrogant, I'm naughty, I'm extravagant—but, I really haven't done anything too bad. Those women, they were all bought by me, there is a deed of sale as evidence, I haven't done anything to force good people to become prostitutes, even if I go too far, I don't need Shang Fang's sword when I think about it-"
"So he misunderstood."
Li Mu didn't want to take advantage of this, and told him bluntly: "Your Majesty didn't say anything about you, I came to you today, purely because I didn't like you, I was in a bad mood, I just wanted to find you to be angry——"
Where is Dou Ren willing to believe: "Master Hou, you don't have to hide it, how did Your Majesty send me down, you can say it directly." ”
Li Mu looked at him with slanted eyes: "What, what do you mean by this, do you look down on me a little?" I don't dare to come until Your Majesty disposes of you, I want to beat you myself, can't I? ”
"Master Hou, I've guessed it all, why do you bother to hide it anymore?" Dou Ren hurriedly said: "Is it necessary for you to say such a lie?" Just want to beat me? Why are you so bold? I am the emperor's maternal uncle, the Marquis of Shouyang, I am not lower than you in terms of title, and I am far more than you in terms of relatives, why do you come to my house indiscriminately to bully me? ”
"Well said!" Li Mu stood up and pointed at Dou Ren and said, "I don't understand, do you?" It's right if I don't understand, I can't understand why His Majesty bullied me, do I look like a bully? Today I bullied you, just like His Majesty bullied me, there is no reason, I want to bully you and bully you, I will come to your house and beat you up, what's wrong? I'll also tell you that my title has been deposed, and I'm not a marquis now, I'm a Luoyang Order—"
"Huh?" Dou Renmeng, he observed Li Mu's face, and saw that he didn't seem to be lying, and suddenly had an urge to turn around and pick up the dagger, he stood up angrily, pointed at Li Mu and scolded: "You are a Luoyang Ling?" Ha, it's crazy, little Luoyang Ling, you dare to on Benhou's head? Believe it or not, I chopped you up, and I don't have anything to do, come on! ”
The sound of armor rubbing sounded, and a group of people appeared behind Dou Ren.
"Arrest him for me!"
No one paid attention, Dou Ren turned around and saw Su Dingfang's face. His expression froze for a moment, and he remembered the current situation, it was Li Mu who led someone to break through the door of his mansion, and now this mansion has been controlled by him.
His lips trembled, Dou Ren held back his anger, and said: "You are young, how can you do such a crazy thing, in this way, you quit now, I, I can't make a big deal and keep quiet, we just didn't happen today, what do you think?" ”
"Not how, not bad!" Li Mu hooked his hand, and Su Dingfang walked over and handed him a dagger. When Dou Ren saw it, his back was cold, this dagger was the one he threw away, but he didn't expect his every move to fall into the eyes of others.
Li Mu pulled out the dagger, the silver glowed, he beckoned, and several lieutenants took Dou Ren over and pressed his hand on the table.
Li Mu grabbed the dagger and thrust it violently!
Dou Ren screamed in fright, and said in a loud voice: "Living Ancestor, I was wrong, what do you want to do!" ”
"Convinced?"
"Obey, don't hurt me!"
Li Mu threw the dagger aside, put on a smiling face, and said, "There's nothing to do, I just want you to write a few posts for me." Borrow your mansion to set up a table, the little brother has just arrived, or you have to know the snake on the ground in Luoyang, what do you say? Hou Ye. ”
"Yes......" Dou Ren was already a little out of his guts when he was scared by Li Mu's two or three times, his face turned pale, and he didn't dare to talk back at all.
……
Changan.
After Li Mu left, the court was indeed much calmer. This kind of calm is different from the calm when Li Mu left, when Li Mu left, although the court was also very calm, but when the forces of all parties were doing things, they always had to think about whether he would turn over the old accounts once Li Mu came back, and how to deal with Li Mu's methods. Sometimes when you think about it, it's too much trouble to deal with, and most of them give up.
But now, Li Mu has gone to Luoyang, and he will probably never return to the court, and he will act without scruples. Li Shimin keenly discovered this, and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He suddenly found that these gate valves, Xungui, who he couldn't suppress, were even more jealous of Li Mu than he was of him, the emperor.
Li Shimin suddenly remembered the Shang Fang sword, the Shang Fang sword was given to Li Mu, Li Mu went to Luoyang, Li Mu to himself, it was tantamount to a Shang Fang sword hanging on the heads of these nobles, when he was there, even if he didn't use it, these people would be jealous.
If they are emperors themselves, of course they will be afraid. But the emperor is the emperor after all, and the emperor can't personally end up in hand-to-hand combat, and many things are timid.
"Your Majesty, the matter of the Prince of Tubo's request for peace and affinity, please ask Your Majesty to decide." Yu Shinan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up, raised the wat board and said respectfully.
Li Shimin looked at him with some disgust in his heart. Yu Shinan survived these turmoil smoothly and still stayed in the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but this old boy was not grateful to Dade, but because Wang Qi and the eldest grandson Wuji fell one after another, he began to regard himself as a character.
"The princesses are under ten years old, what does Aiqing mean is to let me marry a young daughter to the prince of Tubo?"
Yu Shinan didn't get up and said, "Your Majesty, there are two ways for the minister, please consider it." First, you can first go to the Tibetan family, but inform the other party that the princess is still young, so the big wedding can be done after the marriage. Second, you can choose a woman of appropriate age among the imperial aunts. ”
"No!" The person who spoke was not Li Shimin, but Wei Zheng, Wei Zheng looked at Yu Shinan angrily, and said: "Neither of the two methods is feasible, the former, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo are at war or peace, and now there is no conclusion, a few days ago, Tubo also participated in the siege, this matter has not been settled with them, at this time, the matter of agreeing to be close will make people feel that Datang is weak and can be bullied." And it is even more inappropriate to choose from among the imperial aunts. The imperial aunt and His Majesty are the same generation, if the prince of Tibet marries the imperial aunt, is he not the same generation as His Majesty? The Tang Dynasty and Tubo have become peers, do they make the world laugh? Your Majesty is the Khan of the Heavens, hasn't the Prince of Tubo become the 'Khan of the Earth', Yu Shinan, are you old and confused? ”
"Duke Wei, it's inappropriate for you to talk like this, I just made a suggestion, whether to adopt it for Your Majesty, this is my duty, even if it is inappropriate, the matter of the Ministry of Rites, it is not your turn to tell the Imperial Historical Tower!" Yu Shinan unceremoniously turned back, Wei Zheng frowned, and wanted to reason with him. Li Shimin looked at the two of them like fighting cocks, and his heart began to miss Li Mu again, if Li Mu is here, this kind of thing, is there still a part of Yu Shinan and others talking?
Although Wei Zheng's words were sharp, his debate could not reach Li Mu's refreshing feeling, if Li Mu came to scold Yu Shinan, he would not even be able to speak. Li Shimin still has this confidence.
"Don't make any noise!" Li Shimin interrupted the two and said to Yu Shinan: "Wei Aiqing's words coincide with me. Tubo is disrespectful to Datang, the matter has not yet been resolved, and at this time he promised to make peace, which seems to be weak and bullying. It is absolutely not feasible, the imperial aunt's concubine, I can't be the master, I have to nod the emperor, this matter is over, there is no need to discuss it anymore. ”
"Your Majesty!" Yu Shinan stood up again and said, "Your Majesty think twice!" This matter is not only related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, but also the coronation of His Majesty as the Khan. Your Majesty, the Khan of the Heavens, and the co-lord of the world, if the four Yi are not convinced, I am afraid that it will not look good in the history books in the future. When later historians appraised it, it was inevitable that His Majesty's 'Heavenly Khan' was suspected of forgery. Agreeing to make peace will not only allow the two countries to regain peace, but also promote Tubo to support the Tang Dynasty and His Majesty. ”
"This ......" Li Shimin hesitated a little when he heard this.
Whether Tubo and the Tang Dynasty are at war or peace, Li Shimin really doesn't pay much attention to it, because in his plan, Tubo will be fought sooner or later. But now that the coronation of the Khan is imminent, the support of Tibet is very important to him. The so-called Heavenly Khan is not something to be said casually. Rather, it really needs to be recognized by neighboring countries, not to mention small countries, even if they do not recognize, it does not matter. However, if a few large ones, such as Tubo, Tuyuhun, Turkic, Xue Yantuo, Goguryeo, etc., do not admit it, the khans will inevitably lose a lot of color on this day.
"Your Majesty, you can't agree categorically!" Wei Zheng stood up and confronted him-for-tat, saying: "The contest between countries should be based on strength. If the princess is exchanged for the support of Tibet, other countries will definitely follow suit when they see it, the prince of Tubo today, the prince of Goguryeo tomorrow, the great khan of Xue Yantuo the day after tomorrow, how can Your Majesty have so many princesses to promise? As soon as this case is opened, there will be endless troubles, and Your Majesty will definitely not be able to agree! ”
"Your Majesty think twice!"
"Your Majesty must not agree!"
The people from the Ministry of Rites and the Yushitai shouted in unison, and Li Shimin's head instantly became three circles bigger. He looked at Gonggong Gao, and almost blurted out to get Li Mu back for me. Suddenly, he saw Gonggong Gao squeezing his eyebrows, his brows frowned, and he wondered in his heart, could it be that Li Mu was back? Otherwise, what is it to squeeze your eyebrows?
Father-in-law Gao had no choice but to lean into Li Shimin's ear and whispered: "Your Majesty, I just received the news that something happened." ”
"What's the matter?" Li Shimin frowned and said, "Li Mu, that kid is in trouble?" ”
"Hmm!" Gao Gonggong whispered: "He tied up the Marquis of Shouyang and occupied his mansion. ”
"Who?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, he didn't think that there was such a person as Shouyanghou, and he stayed for a while before he remembered that Shouyanghou was his maternal uncle, so he stood up all of a sudden and said angrily: "Who do you say he kidnapped?" He tied up my uncle? ”
When the officials suddenly heard Li Shimin's voice, they were all a little dazed, what kind of tie, who tied it to the head of the royal family?
How does it sound familiar, though?
