Chapter 218: Counting is Counting

Li Mu offered a reward of 10,000 yuan to buy and splash dung, which alarmed the entire Chang'an. As the place of registration, Jingdong set has completely become famous. This wave of advertising is even better than the last time I paid for it. After all, this is an unheard of wonder of buying with money.

And the fact that Bai Hao'er is Li Mu's father-in-law has gradually become known with the fermentation of the incident.

Needless to say, Lu Zhilin panicked, and the imperial historians who supported Lu Zhilin that day also panicked. Although it is rumored that Li Mu did not say that he wanted to take revenge on others, Li Mu can do all kinds of things to buy, what can't he do? If he can take out 10,000 guan, he can take out 20,000 guan, 30,000 guan, who doesn't know that Li Mu has money and no place to spend it, in case he pours Lu Zhilin's mansion and is still angry, what if he comes to pour his own mansion again?

Who can not be afraid!

There is a way that a friend who dies does not die in the poor. Now Lu Zhilin has obviously smashed his game, and Wei Zheng has regarded him as an outcast, and it is mentally retarded to follow him all the way to the black. In order to protect themselves, the imperial historians who had the same hatred and hatred with Lu Zhilin yesterday worked hard to write a book overnight, writing a series of twists and turns to draw a clear line with Lu Zhilin, and early the next morning, they were presented to Li Shimin's desk like snowflakes.

Li Shimin didn't even look at it, and asked Gonggong Gao to pick up these people's recitals and send them to the imperial dining room to be used as fireworks.

Gao Gonggong knelt on the ground, picked up a pile of folds, and suddenly saw a fold, smiled dumbly, got up and came to Li Shimin's side, and handed it over.

Li Shimin put down his pen and frowned: "Didn't I say that I don't want to watch the performance of the Yushitai, what is this?" ”

"Your Majesty, this is Lu Zhilin's recital, he said that his father died, and I implore Ding Wei to return to his hometown to guard filial piety."

"Is there such a coincidence?" Li Shimin took the fold and looked at it, and it was indeed as Gao Gonggong said. Lu Zhilin said that his father died of illness and begged to return to his hometown.

"Ding Wei" is also known as "Ding Jian", as early as the Zhou Dynasty, there were children mourning for their parents for three years. It is recorded in "Mencius: Lilouxia" that "the health person is not enough to be a big thing, but sending him to death can be a big thing", which shows that in Confucianism, "Ding worry" is one of the essentials of filial piety.

After the Han Dynasty, "Ding Wei" mourning was included in the law, and concealment of funeral, having fun during the "Ding Wei" period, seeking a career before the mourning period was completed, giving birth to a child, dividing the family from another brother's nationality, marrying, taking exams, etc., were all regarded as "unfilial" crimes, and would be severely punished by criminal law, ranging from imprisonment to exile or even death.

And the officials asked Ding to be filial piety, and the emperor could not fail to agree in general. Because this is filial piety, if the emperor doesn't pay attention to filial piety, then he still has it? There is a record in the history books, but it will be left behind for 10,000 years.

But it is not without exceptions, and this kind of exception is called 'revenge'. However, the conditions for 'seizing the affection' are extremely harsh, and only when the country is in dire straits, this person is really indispensable, and most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have acquiesced to it, can it be possible to 'seize the affection' according to the situation. And most of the time, even if the emperor wants to regain his affection, as an official, he can't agree, because no matter what, as long as he doesn't keep filial piety, he can't escape the suspicion of greedy power.

Therefore, Lu Zhilin resigned in the name of "Ding Wei", and Li Shimin really couldn't refuse. If you refuse, there has to be a reason, right? Could it be that the emperor wants his courtiers to be unfilial? Li Shimin's throne came from the wrong way, and what he was most afraid of was that some people would say that he was unfilial. He would never dare to carry this infamy. So the revenge? There is no reason, Lu Zhilin is just an ordinary supervising imperial history, and he is not a six-book book, he can do it with him, and he can do without him, which really does not meet the conditions for recovering from love. If Li Shimin insists on recovering his feelings, then he can only make the government and the opposition think that he is holding back his anger for Li Mu. And he had just made a decision to give a lighter punishment before, which was so inconsistent that it was unconvincing.

Li Shimin thought about it for a long time, but he still felt that things were not so coincidental, so he closed the music fold and said, "Could it be that Lu Zhilin was afraid of Li Mu's revenge and hid in the name of Ding Wei?" ”

Gao Gong said: "Your Majesty, at this time, the old slave thinks that it should not be." Lu Zhilin's hometown is in Fanyang, and it will take half a month to pass the news from Fanyang to Chang'an. And the official Ding is worried about such a major event, according to the rules, he can only go to the post station, because it is convenient for the officials to verify, and the post station is also the fastest way. If Lu Zhilin lied in this way, it would be very easy to be exposed. Once it is exposed, it will be the crime of deception and the scourge of destroying the door, and he should not dare. ”

"Well......" Li Shimin also thought so, but he had to give Li Mu an explanation, and thought about it: "You go and check whether this matter is true." If it is not true, Lu Zhilin will be beheaded in the city, if it is true...... Go and inform Li Mu and let him go, Li Mu should understand. ”

"No."

Duke Gao took the order and left, Li Shimin picked up the pen and continued to approve the folds, suddenly smiled, and muttered to himself: "I don't know if that kid will be so angry when he learns the news...... It's a shame that I didn't see it with my own eyes! ”

When Gonggong Gao left the palace, he first went to the Ministry of Officials, inspected the investigation, and then went to Lu Zhilin's house to confirm the letter, and saw that Lu Zhilin's father was dead, but he was not sad, but he was happy, and he couldn't help but scoff. But this is a family matter, and Lu Zhilin also said that he would return to his hometown, and it was inconvenient for Gao Gonggong to accuse anything, so he left Lu Zhilin's mansion and came to Zhuluhou's mansion.

Li Mu had already 'woken up' yesterday, so naturally it was not good to pretend to be unconscious again. He called Gongsun Kang from the Ministry of Industry and asked Gongsun Kang to build a 'wheelchair' according to his command. Four wheels were carved out of hardwood, a base was made, and the chair was embedded in the base in the form of mortising, and it became a 'wheelchair' that could be pushed. This wheelchair has no tires, but fortunately, the roads in Zhuluhou's Mansion are re-paved with bluestone slabs, which are flatter than the tiled floor, so it is not too bumpy to circle around the house.

When Gonggong Gao came, Li Chongyi was pushing Li Mu for a walk in the garden. Let Li Chongyi push it because he has divine power, when he crosses the threshold, he can lift the wheelchair, and he has to find a wooden plank to pad out of the slope, which is inconvenient when others walk.

"Master Hou, our family is here!"

As soon as Gonggong Gao stepped into the courtyard, he saw Li Mu and greeted him. When Li Mu saw Father-in-law Gao, he coughed twice and said, "Father-in-law Gao, what kind of wind blew you here, aren't you planning to raid my house again." ”

"How can it, Lord Hou, look, didn't I come alone?" Gao Gonggong said with a smile, he came to Li Mu, looked Li Mu's 'wheelchair' up and down, and praised: "Our family has lived for half a lifetime, and it is the first time I have seen a chair with wheels. ”

Li Mu coughed again and said, "There's no way, I'm weak and can't walk!" I hate that Lu Zhilin, who is self-reliant, reversing black and white, and making me like this! I can't talk to him, if anyone persuades me to let him go......" Li Mu snorted coldly and said: "Then Ben Hou can only say one sentence sorry, Gao Gonggong, you shouldn't mean that, right?" ”

Gao Gonggong looked at Li Mu's appearance, Gao Gonggong almost couldn't hold back his laughter, tried to hold back, and said, "Unfortunately, Master Hou, our family is really here for this!" ”

"Chongyi, let's send off the guests."

"Good!" Li Chongyi took off the giant axe behind him, and with a bull's eye, he was about to make a move.

Father-in-law Gao hurriedly stepped back and said, "Master Hou, our family remembers that the relationship between the two of us has always been good." What's the matter, our family also defends Master Hou, why is it shouting and shouting and killing now! Even if you want to drive our family away, you have to let our family finish talking, don't you? ”

Li Mu sighed and said, "Now that I'm being bullied by anyone, it's just that, Gonggong Gao, you can say it, I'll listen." ”

"That's what happened." Gao Gong said fairly: "Master Hou, you said that it is not a coincidence, Lu Zhilin's father passed away, and the news I received last night, today Lu Zhilin pleaded with Ding Wei and returned to his hometown to guard filial piety." ”

"Fart!" Li Mu took a sip and scolded: "When Ben Hou is a fool, can't you? How could there be such a coincidence, Ben Hou collected night incense here and wanted to splash him, and he died his father? Is there such a coincidence? Ben Hou doesn't believe it! If there is, it is that he killed his father, don't believe it, don't believe it! ”

Father-in-law Gao smiled and said: "But isn't it, Your Majesty doesn't believe it, and our family doesn't believe it either." Who can believe it, but Master Hou, our family went to the Ministry of Officials to check, this news came from the post station, Lu Zhilin's hometown is in Fanyang, this back and forth will take half a month, and he can't pass on the news. Now it seems that this is a coincidence. ”

"I still don't believe it!"

Gonggong Gao continued: "Master Hou, our family has already sent someone to Fan Yang to confirm the news, if this news is false, Lu Zhilin is guilty of bullying the king, the crime is unforgivable, at least he will be killed." What does Your Majesty mean, this Ding worry is filial piety, and it is not easy to stop. It's better to let him go, and wait for the person who confirms the news to come back, if this matter is false, it's not too late to arrest him, and he will definitely let Hou Ye get angry. But if it's true......"

"It's true, Ben Hou's anger can't come out?"

Gao Gonggong smiled and said: "This is also something that can't be helped, Hou Ye can't throw dung on other people's filial piety." This matter has been done for a while, not only has Lu Zhilin's reputation been fulfilled, but also your reputation ...... Houye."

Li Mu was silent, and Gonggong Gao didn't speak next to him, he looked at Li Mu's appearance, and secretly wrote it down in his heart, when he returned to the palace, His Majesty would definitely ask, and when he learned it, His Majesty would definitely be happy.

has been with Li Shimin for a long time, and Gao Gonggong still has a very good grasp of Li Shimin's bad taste.

After a long time, Li Mu sighed and said, "Since Gonggong Gao has already checked it, Ben Hou will believe it." But there are two sentences that I would like to say earlier. ”

"Master Hou, please speak."

"First one, if Lu Zhilin lied, his father didn't die, and he deceived me, then don't blame me for being ruthless, no matter what method I use, I will kill him."

Gao Gonggong hurriedly said: "If this is the case, don't worry about the Hou Ye, it is a capital crime to deceive the king." ”

"I'm not done yet." Li Mu added a sentence leisurely, saying: "Killing him is not enough to satisfy me, I want to fill his coffin with night incense and let him stink for ten thousand years!" ”

“……”

Gao Gonggong didn't speak, and secretly said in his heart, but it was really enough damage. It's not enough to kill people, just kill people, and you still have to pour feces into other people's coffins, which is really immoral and smoking.

Gao Gonggong is not easy to say anything, this matter has nothing to do with him at all, he is just an errand boy, and it is not a smart move to get involved.

"Second," Li Mu said indignantly: "Lu Zhilin is dead, his father is lucky." The others are not so lucky, and I want to take revenge on those imperial histories that supported him the day before yesterday! ”

"Huh?" Gonggong Gao was taken aback, the day before yesterday, he supported Lu Zhilin's imperial history, not to mention that there were sixteen or seventeen people, could it be that Li Muquan was going to throw dung? This is also a little too exaggerated, but when I think about it again, it is not unusual, this kind of thing, Li Mu did it!

Suddenly, Li Mu's words changed: "...... If they don't want to be retaliated against, that's fine. After all, the accomplices, the main culprits have all run away, if I pour my anger on them, it will seem that I do not distinguish between right and wrong, and I am not the kind of person who is not close to people, give them a chance! ”

What the hell are you going to do? Father-in-law Gao muttered in his heart, but said, "Master Hou, please speak, our family will help you deliver the message." ”

"Aren't they the imperial history, they must be good at writing music. I can write a meath of impeachment, and I can certainly write a memora of praise. They impeached me and caused me harm, so they have to praise me and make amends for the damage. You let each of them write a memora, and praise me and Your Majesty fiercely. The content is to write that the imperial court will return the mineral deposits, which is a wise decision, and the Marquis of the deer will be loyal to the country, and His Majesty will love the people like a son. On the other hand, the Shandong Shi clan looks like a dog and harbors evil intentions. In particular, the Louvre and Zheng Jing of Shandong Daru were the leaders, with Wei Zheng and Lu Zhilin as their minions, blinding the Holy Hearing, and everyone was punished. ”

After Li Mu finished speaking, he glanced at the Gao Gonggong who was so shocked that his jaw was about to drop, and said: "That's basically what it means, give them an afternoon, this twist, one for Your Majesty to preview, and one for the Craftsman Workshop Printing Superintendent, which will be printed tomorrow, pasted all over the streets and alleys of Chang'an, and transmitted to all states and counties in the world." If they write well, I don't take revenge on them. If they don't write well or don't want to write, they are sincerely embarrassed by me and take my kindness as bullshit. At that time, no one's affection will be given! ”

"Your Majesty has said that as long as you don't die, let me deal with it. I just didn't know where to splash the night incense that happened to be prepared for Lu Zhilin, so I sent it to them door to door, so that they could feel what it meant to be smelly! ”

“……”

Gao Gonggong's heart was chilling, this trick is ruthless, too ruthless!

After the last time Li Mu and Wei Zheng fought the law, the power of the Shandong Shi clan in the court was very few, mainly concentrated in the Yushitai. Now that the Yushi Tai has gone through this incident, morale has been greatly damaged. Wei Zheng said that he was sick and couldn't come out, and he also took a daughter, and almost all of them were fined for half a year, but they were already defeated.

Li Mu asked them to scold themselves again, isn't this the same as counterproductive? If they scold, there will be infighting. If they don't scold, Li Mu just found an excuse, from splashing one family, he became a full splash, and the imperial historians of the Yushitai floated with dung fragrance and stink......

Ridiculous!
