Sun threw himself on the side of the bed, grabbed Li Mu's hand tightly, and called softly, "Son, are you awake?" Mother is here, mother is here. ”

"Mother......" Li Mu endured the fluctuations in his heart, pretending to have just woken up, and he was still a little weak, and when he saw Sun, he squeezed out a meaningful smile and said, "Mother, why are you here, I'm fine......"

"Are you alright?" Sun cried: "I vomited so much blood, is it okay? Is it possible that when you die, it is okay to let the white-haired person send the black-haired person for my mother? You, you, you never tell your mother about something, do you still regard me as your mother? ”

If he hadn't heard Sun's words just now, Li Mu wouldn't have thought much about it, but now, Li Mu subconsciously thought of what happened just now, and said seriously: "Mother, no matter what happens, you are my mother." You raised me, you are not my mother, who is my mother......"

Sun was stunned, she heard Li Mu say this, and she couldn't be sure if Li Mu heard what she said just now. But looking at Li Mu's weak appearance, he felt that he shouldn't have heard it, but he didn't dare to say anything more, and grabbed Li Mu's arm tightly, as if his son was gone as soon as he let go.

Li Mu looked at the people in the room, stretched out his hand, and said, "Lady, help me sit up." There are all elders here, and I don't like to talk when I lie down. ”

Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien hurriedly went over and helped Li Mu up. Bai Qiaoqiao was behind Li Mu and let him lean in his arms. When Wang Ou saw it, he felt a little uncomfortable and looked away.

"Elders, thank you for coming to see me, I remember it. When I get better, I will definitely be rewarded. ”

"Huh! What nonsense! I bite the gold, is it a rare person to repay? I underestimate people. The two of us are the good of the family, if you have something, how can I sit idly by? Yesterday I led the troops and surrounded the homes of those imperial historians who bullied you, if it wasn't for His Majesty's order to let me leave, I would have opened the scoop for them yesterday! At the same time, Cheng Yanjin boasted, but did not forget to demean Tang Jian, and said in a strange manner: "I can't be like some people, good people are used to doing it, and I have to hold a fart and dare not let it go, do some afterthought!" ”

Tang Jian was just squeezed by Wang Jue in the lobby of the front yard, and when he returned to the backyard in front of Li Mu, he was squeezed by Cheng Biting Jin, and the clay figure still had three points of earthiness, and said angrily: "Cheng Zhijie, who are you talking about in a weird way?" ”

Don't look at Cheng Biting Jin calling Sun his sister-in-law, it seems that he regards Tang Jian as a brother, but in fact, there is naturally a gap between Wenchen and military generals. Cheng Biting Jin's sister-in-law is most likely still called by Li Mu, and Tang Jian is not much of a character in his eyes.

Cheng Biting Jin sneered and said, "Old Tang, I didn't mention a word about you, you can't blame me for picking up the scolding yourself." That's right, that's you! Yesterday in the main hall, why didn't you stand up and say a word for my virtuous nephew? Oh, yes, it's not your own son, how smart you are, of course you won't stop this kind of! ”

"Cheng Zhijie! Don't you want to insult me! Why don't I want to speak for Li Mu, if you weren't in the court yesterday, don't talk about it. At the beginning, Lu Zhilin burst into tears, from His Majesty to the hundred officials, everyone felt that Li Mu did it, what could the old man do if he stood up alone? When Li Mu came, he and Lu Zhilin and the others had the upper hand, and the old man only had the chance to win, how could he know that this childish spirit was so big, if the old man knew......"

"!" Cheng Biting Jin spat at Tang Jian's face, and said: "It's a good thing to say, it's useless to say that you stand up in the front, and you don't need to win the ticket in the back, and you don't have anything to do with it?" He also said that my virtuous nephew is very temperamental! What's wrong with having a big temperament? The old man thinks it's a good thing, is it possible to be like you, a lifetime of mud, and people give the nickname Donald Turtle? ”

"Who are you scolding? The old man can't rest with you! ”

"What are you scolding for, you still want to do it? Come on, I'll let you have one hand and four fingers, and I'll use one thumb and I'll poke you to death believe it or not......."

"I'm mad at me!"

Li Mu watched the two old guys quarrel, and he could only smile bitterly. Sun's face sank, and he finally couldn't help it, and said, "My son just woke up, what are you arguing about?" Quarrel and quarrel! Don't make noise here! ”

Tang Jian saw that Sun was angry, and immediately became dumbfounded. glared at Cheng Biting Jin, and whispered: "Madame, don't be angry, I'm just arguing a few words, I really didn't come out yesterday, I ......"

"Okay, shut up, I know what you are doing. My son, I don't need you! ”

As soon as these words came out, Tang Jian's heart was half cold, isn't this over, he must be angry, can he still go to bed when he goes home tonight? It's definitely no fun! Tang Jian glared at Cheng Biting Jin fiercely, the old bastard's mind is corrupt, sowing discord, you wait for the old man!

Cheng Yanjin is not afraid at all, he is a military general, and he is not in the same system as Tang Jian. Even if you go out to fight and need the Ministry of Civil Affairs under Tang Jian's management to allocate grain and grass, do you Tang Jian dare to wear small shoes for Lao Tzu?

However, for the Sun family, Cheng Yanjin still respected him very much, and hugged his fists and apologized: "Sister-in-law, don't blame, I'm just upset for my nephew." If the old man was here yesterday, I would definitely give them some color. Otherwise, everyone thinks that after Li Ji's old man went to Bingzhou, my virtuous nephew had no one in the court! A group of snobs made Lao Cheng very disgusting! ”

"Who's a snob?"

"I'm talking about you! Why, you're not ...... Yes? Your Majesty, why are you here? ”

Cheng Yanjin thought that Tang Jian was not convinced, so he turned around, and suddenly saw that it was Li Shimin, and the second half of the sentence was directly held back, and he hurriedly gave a salute.

Others also saluted, Li Mu 'struggled' to get up, Li Shimin hurriedly said: "You are sick, what kind of salute, lie down well." ”

When Li Shimin came, everyone didn't dare to sit with him, so they all stood up. Li Zhien went to the outhouse and moved a chair over, Li Shimin sat down, and the others retreated to the outhouse, everyone knew that Li Shimin was here in person, and he must have something to say to Li Mu.

Li Shimin looked at Li Mu and didn't speak for a long time.

Li Mu didn't speak, he could guess what Li Shimin was thinking. The fact that he was able to visit in person shows that he feels guilty. If it is a courtier who knows each other, he should hand over a sentence at this time and give him a step. But Li Mu was unwilling to give this step, he abolished such a big Zhou Zhang, just to make Li Shimin owe him a favor, how could he give up his efforts when he was about to kick the door?

"Is it weird?"

"Wechen doesn't dare."

"That's weird."

Li Mu didn't speak, obviously acquiescing.

"I'm not going to pay you any compensation."

Hearing this, Li Mu was stunned, he didn't expect Li Shimin to admit his mistake so neatly and even apologize to him.

"I shouldn't have disbelieved you." Li Shimin sighed and said: "But you can't blame me all, with your usual style, the things Lu Zhilin said are really like what you can do, even now, I am confused, although there is no evidence, but my intuition tells me that you did it." ”

“……”

Who says only a woman's intuition is terrible? Men's intuition is just as scary as it is good!

Li Mu said angrily: "Your Majesty, it wasn't the minister's doing!" Nothing to do with ministers! If it can be ascertained, there is any evidence that points to the minister's doing, and the minister is willing to kill him and die in front of Lu Zhilin! ”

"What are you so excited about, I just say it casually, and it doesn't depend on you. I just want to tell you that no one stood up for you yesterday, and you shouldn't take it too seriously, it has something to do with your usual behavior. Of course, I'm not saying good things for them, I'm ......."

"Your Majesty's meaning, the minister understands!" Li Mu interrupted Li Shimin's words and said, "Your Majesty can see that the ministers are cold, and they are worried that the ministers will no longer care about their affairs and no longer contribute to the two major companies, so say these words to excuse them!" ”

Li Shimin was choked, he knew that Li Mu could understand what he meant, but he didn't expect Li Mu to be so faceless and expose it to his face.

The words have already been said to this point, Li Shimin didn't bother to go around the corner, and said: "Then you say, you still don't care?" You pulled up the two companies single-handedly, and the lending thing you mentioned, you can't just say it and stop doing it, right? Throwing such a mess behind, who do you want me to find to take over? Who can replace you? ”

"The minister doesn't care, I don't know how long the minister can live now, and I'm not in the mood to do things."

"I have already asked Doctor Sun, you don't have to worry about your life, don't use these words to prevaricate me."

"If you don't have to worry about your life, do you have to do things? Can't a minister choose to be a waste? Li Mu said a little excitedly: "Since the minister became an official, he doesn't know who he has offended, and he has been impeached all day long. In the end, it was found out that the minister was wronged every time. The minister couldn't understand why this was! As long as it is done by the minister, there is no time when it is not criticized! In this case, it's good that the minister doesn't do anything, the minister is a waste at home, guarding the income of the winery, and the minister can't eat and use it up, and he doesn't have to worry about it! ”

"It's mediocre not to be envied, and if they impeach you, it means that you have the ability. I have your back, otherwise how would I be here? ”

"Your Majesty doesn't need to say it so nicely, Your Majesty also has plans for your ministers. If the minister does not have the ability to make money, will His Majesty still come? ”

"No, it won't." Li Shimin said neatly: "Li Mu, you should understand. I am the Son of Heaven, and everything in the world is mine. Li Shimin raised his hand, pointed at Li Mu, and said, "Including your life and death, it is up to me to decide with one word." If you don't have that talent, I can kill you just by what you just said. There is no reason, just because I want to kill, I can kill! ”

Li Mu honestly closed his mouth, the signs were a little wrong, wait and see first.

"Similarly, Wei Zheng and others, I can also kill. I don't want to kill, I have my own reasons. You may feel that I have helped them and wronged you. But think about it, if you are me, like you usually look like no one in your eyes, if I stand by your side in everything, who will say that you will not be allowed to say a word of me...... So who is the emperor? ”

"I am an emperor, and I can't do things according to my preferences. I said that I would treat you as a nephew, but this is not a lie. Privately, I appreciate you and love you. Even I thought how nice it would be if you were my son. Your wisdom is far greater than that of Cheng Qian and Qingque. My affection for you has reached this level. ”

"But this is a private affair and cannot be placed above the court. Above the court, I am the king, and you are the minister. Wei Zheng is also a minister, and Lu Zhilin is also a minister. Why is the Liangyi Hall called the Liangyi Palace? The two rituals, yin and yang. I live in the hall of the two rituals, looking at the ministers, the first thing is to balance the yin and yang. If the balance is lost, and the country is in trouble. Wei Zheng is hateful, but Wei Zheng has his uses. ”

"Heshuo and other places in Shandong have been full of heroes since ancient times. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Liu Heimin and others were in Shandong, and for the sake of the disaster, how many Zhou chapters were abolished before they were pacified? Now because of the hidden prince, the Shandong scholars are not convinced, they trust Wei Zheng, and Wei Zheng is their mouthpiece in the court. If I kill him, what will I do if all parts of Shandong rise up? They have men and food, and if they start a rebellion, even if I can calm down, they will surely be ruined! Li Mu, I ask you, is this what you want to see? ”

"Just to give you a breath, I have to risk the lives of thousands of people, do you think I should do such a thing?"

Li Shimin had tears in his eyes, forced himself to hold back, and sighed: "When I am as old as you, I also yearn to be a ranger who is happy and revengeful!" I did! When I was seventeen years old, the former Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was trapped by the Turks in Yanmen Pass, and I joined Yun Dingxing's army to rescue and pursue the Turks for 800 miles! How merry! At that time, everyone said that the word sincerity was the word. Now that I think about it, I'm still passionate. ”

"But so what? I'm the Emperor now! The emperor should do the emperor's things, and the emperor also has the responsibility of the emperor. I want to be a good emperor, and I will do whatever it takes to do so. It's me, and I don't have any scruples. You only feel that you are wronged, do you know how wronged I am? Wei! Wang Qi! Back then, by the side of Prince Yin, they were all people who had told me countless times to kill me! I and Prince Yin can go to the step of breaking up, and it has a lot to do with them! But for the sake of the community, didn't I invite them back and worship them as Zaifu? ”

"I don't hate? I hate! Am I not aggrieved? I'm wronged! But I'm the emperor, do I have a choice? ”

Li Shimin's eyes finally shed tears. He looked at Li Mu and said, "Li Mu, I remember you said that you are willing to be my thousands of miles and the sons of the people." You are a man, and since you have made such a grand wish, you should do your best. Have you ever seen a horse that disobeys its owner and absconds halfway? Have you ever seen a cow that has escaped into the mountains after working in the fields for half of its work? No! I have great expectations for you, and I can feel that with your talents, you will be able to assist me and make the people of this world rich and happy! I don't defend myself, I am indeed ashamed of you! But I ask you, this world, this people, your ambition, do you really give up? If you say yes! Then I'm up to you! I am the country, I can bear it with one force! ”
