"Li Jiancheng has lost my life, why should I avenge him?"

Li Mu was a little confused: "Then why are you?" Li Mu wanted to say, are you sick in the brain, but the words came to his lips and held back, no matter how he said that the person in front of him could also be the biological mother of his current body, this is really a bit disrespectful.

Miss Lu waved her hand lightly, and Mama Rong whispered: "Miss, just now I noticed that this kid raised his hand several times to touch the placket of his clothes, he must have hidden a hidden weapon in his arms, if the slave is gone, your safety ......"

"It's okay, let's go," Miss Lu interrupted Mama Rong's words, Mama Rong didn't dare to disobey, glanced at Li Mu, turned around and left the stone pavilion, and stood still at a position of about fifteen steps, against the direction of the wind, fifteen steps away, it is impossible for a master like Mama Rong to hear the conversation in the stone pavilion.

"What do you want to tell me?"

Miss Lu was serious and said, "Don't you want to know what I want to do?" I'll tell you. ”

"Me! No! Letter! Li Mu said word by word.

Miss Lu laughed again and said, "Look at you kid, I don't want to say it, you asked, you asked, I told you, and you didn't believe it, so you said, did I tell you or didn't tell you?" ”

"This ......" Li Mu thought about it, he was a little hypocritical, cleared his throat, and said: "Then you can say it, besides, I am not a child, I am your brother-in-law." ”

Miss Lu ignored his stubbornness and said, "Everyone in the world thinks that the Succession Hall was established to succeed the heir of 'Li Jiancheng'. Including Li Shimin and you, they all think so, right? ”

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not!" Miss Lu flatly denied: "Li Jiancheng bears me, it's too late for me to hate him, why do you want to succeed him?" The reason why I gave such a name was to borrow his momentum, and it turned out that I had done a good job, and everyone in the world thought that I wanted to rebel, but my real purpose was not," after a pause, Miss Lu continued; "Or rather, not exactly."

Li Mu chuckled: "There is still half of this?" ”

"Of course!" Miss Lu replied very seriously, and said: "If Li Shimin is a faint king, the people of the world are not happy, and the chaos has become a reality, then I will naturally rebel." At that time, I was opposed, one was my son, and the other was the people of the world, why couldn't I oppose it? Besides, at that time, even if I don't rebel, there will be people who will rebel, and I am not the only one. Right? ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "It makes sense, what about the other half?" ”

"If Li Shimin, the emperor, does a good job, obeys all sides, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, even if I want to do the opposite, as you said, I can't succeed, and I won't do anything without hope."

Li Mu spread his hands and said: "That's what I'm saying, the current situation is clear, you can't succeed, so why does the heir hall still exist?" You're still doing such a big thing, aren't you contradicting yourself? ”

"If it's not the opposite, can't the heir hall exist?" Miss Lu smiled sarcastically and said, "I can't agree with your thoughts. I just think that if you don't do it, the heir hall should exist more. ”

Li Mu smiled angrily and said, "Then I'll listen to it and I'd like to hear it in detail." ”

"Have you read the history books?"

Li Mu didn't know why Miss Lu suddenly pulled it into the history books, but she still said: "For the sake of the imperial examination, I have basically read it once, and you say it, so that you won't not be incomprehensible." ”

"I almost forgot that you are the champion of the double list," Miss Lu laughed again, this smile made Li Mu feel that the champion of his double list seemed to be very worthless, and people couldn't afford it at all, he took a deep breath, endured it, and urged: "What the hell do you mean, say it." ”

"The deeds of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, you should know, let me ask you, compared to Li Shimin and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who has greater merits?"

"This ......" Li Mu is a time-traveler in later generations, if judged by the knowledge he learned from the history books in later generations, Li Shimin's merits, not to say that they surpass Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, at least they are not weaker than him, but for now, Li Shimin's merits should not be comparable to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, pursed his lips and considered the words, Li Mu said: "Your Majesty has the atmosphere of a Ming Jun, but compared with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, at present, it is slightly insufficient." ”

"Okay," Miss Lu praised and said, "I appreciate that you can say such a thing, and you can see that you are not stupid and loyal to Li Shimin." ”

"I don't care if you appreciate it or not, you better go straight to the point."

"The Han Dynasty leveled the quasi, evenly lost, calculated, sued, minted five baht coins, deposed the hundred schools, respected Confucianism, resisted the Xiongnu, broke Minyue, Nanyue, Wei's Korea, Dawan, and hollowed out the Western Regions, opened the Silk Road, and opened up the southwest. Create a great cause, but even such a virtuous monarch, ten thousand years is also a belief in magic, self-professed luxury, reckless military force, and even the outbreak of witchcraft, implicating many people, what does this mean? ”

Without waiting for Li Mu to answer, Miss Lu replied herself: "No matter how virtuous a monarch is, there are times when he is old and confused. When the power is too great and no one can restrain him, his wisdom will become his conceit, and power without restraint will be a disaster. In the end, the suffering caused by the calamity will be counted on the people. ”

Li Mu smiled and said, "So you want to be the one who restricts the imperial power?" Just now you still said that I was so angry, and now I think this sentence is going to be returned, dare to ask, why? If you use the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang City as pawns, will such restrictions cause less harm to the people? ”

"It's better to have constraints than nothing." In the face of Li Mu's questioning, Miss Lu did not see the slightest panic, and could see that she had been prepared: "And how do you know that I don't care about the life or death of the people of Luoyang?" ”

"Oh-" Li Mu suddenly said, "I understand, you want to use this matter to compete with the court for the hearts of the people." Is that what you call a constraint? What's the point? ”

"Absolutely." Miss Lu looked into Li Mu's eyes and said, "I just want Li Shimin to be on his back, so that he doesn't dare to slack off at any time." Let him know that if he didn't sit on the dragon chair, this world must be his! Do you think this kind of restriction is necessary? ”

Li Mu felt a little tired, there has never been a standard answer to this kind of topic, everyone's thoughts are different, and anyone can say a set of truths. Li Mu didn't think he could convince Miss Lu, so he simply didn't say anything, and said; "If you think it's reasonable, then it's reasonable, but you should also understand that Your Majesty will never allow the Heir Hall to exist, right? No matter what dynasty or generation, a force like Jihetang will not be allowed! ”

"Then it's up to him." Miss Lu didn't seem to be worried about the threat in Li Mu's words at all, and continued: "You and Li Shimin only saw the threat of the Jihetang, which was regarded as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, but why don't you want to think about it, everyone knows the attitude of the imperial court towards the Jihetang, why is the Jihetang still alive and well?" Take this Luoyang City as an example, people with heads and faces up and down have dealings with the heir hall, don't they know the attitude of the imperial court? Why are they willing to risk the world's condemnation and be implicated in the heirs? ”

"Coercion and temptation?"

"Coercion and temptation, a few people are feasible, so many people, one by one, coercion and temptation pass, the ability of the heir hall is not so great!"

Li Mu couldn't figure it out, so he smacked it and said, "What else can it be?" ”

"The answer is simple." Miss Lu said seriously: "Because many times in the imperial court, you can't count on it. And the heir hall can help them do a lot of things. No matter how much the emperor loves the people like a son, there are two layers of officials and officials between him and the people. And the heirs, although there are people from the door valve and huge family assets, but generally speaking, we are all people. What the imperial court can't do, the heirs can do it, just like the matter in front of you, the food you can't raise, as long as I say a word, within three days, every rice shop in Luoyang City will be full, do you believe it? ”

"Faith." Li Mu couldn't believe it, the old grain within a radius of eight hundred miles was in the hands of this woman, and she really didn't boast. At the same time, Li Mu also understood that what she said about food was just an analogy, what she meant was that the control of the imperial court in the local area could not be compared with the heir hall, no matter how virtuous Li Shimin was, how capable the ministers in the court were, and how good the decree was, it was not necessarily how much this decree could be done in the locality. Governing the country is not taken for granted, and it does not change direction at any time because of the whim of the monarch. It's one thing to think about things, it's another thing to do things. This is also the foundation of the existence of the Jihetang, as long as the imperial court controls the place, one day can not be like the command, the Jihetang will always have room to exist.

Having said this, it seemed that there was no need to talk any further, Li Mu stood up and said, "It is impossible for me to divorce my wife, and I will not compromise, you have miscalculated." And I also told you that Your Majesty already knows that you are in Luoyang, and Gonggong Gao came to deliver the decree, and he asked me to persuade you to return to the imperial court. You and your son will be given preferential treatment, and he will be willing to make your son a prince, and choose a rich land as a feudal country, and he will be hereditary. I've already brought the words, whether you are willing or unwilling to consider for yourself, if you want, you can come to the Hou Mansion to find me at any time. If you don't want to, I won't say it, but the next time we meet, maybe you and I won't be able to talk so calmly. ”

"You also know that Li Shimin is lying, right?"

"It's not something I'm supposed to think about, I'm just passing the word." Li Mu didn't dare to face Miss Lu's eyes, because his thoughts were the same as Miss Lu's, Li Shimin was an emperor, and it was impossible for him to accept Miss Lu and his son's submission. Emperors are ruthless, and always have been. Li Mu took a deep breath and said, "It's not early, I still have to study disaster relief countermeasures, so don't leave it at that." ”

"You wait." Miss Lu stopped Li Mu and said, "If you want food, I can give you a chance." ”

"Say." Li Mu didn't look back: "Don't talk about requests like divorce, it's impossible." ”

"You join the Heir Hall, and I can give you the position of helmsman. The helmsman of the heir hall has a lot of power, so it is natural to dispatch some food. ”

"Good idea, but forget it. I don't want to live that tired yet! ”

Li Mu raised his hand and shook it, and returned along the same path. It's been almost an hour, and if you don't leave, Dugu Jiu will bring people in. Li Mu is not a soft-hearted person, if he can take down this Mrs. Lu and kill a few monks, he has nothing to bear, but since the other party has made an appointment to meet here today, he must have made all the preparations, and the people he brought may not be able to get benefits, and if he is not completely sure of something, he should not do it, so as not to lose his life here.

Watching Li Mu walk away, Mama Rong returned to the stone pavilion, Miss Lu was sorting out the chess pieces, and Mama Rong also helped out.

"Miss, this kid Li Mu is scheming, don't fall for him."

"Scheming?" Miss Lu chuckled lightly and said, "I didn't see the tricks, but I saw why the sister of the Wang family likes him, he dares to come alone, and his courage and courage are already rare in the world." ”

"Miss can't help but think highly of him, and the children of several big families may not be inferior to Li Mu."

"Just like Cui Yuyan, Cui Yuzheng and the like?" Miss Lu laughed, and Mama Rong was also a little embarrassed, and whispered: "The Boling Cui clan is in decline, but there are also a few talents in the other families, not all of them are like that." ”

"How can an animal in captivity compare to a beast of prey in the mountains and forests? You are really unfair to compare Li Mu with them. After packing up the chess pieces, Miss Lu stood up, and Mama Rong took the shawl with her, and the wind in the mountains was still a little cold as autumn approached.

"Give the food left behind to the presiding abbot, and we will leave tomorrow."

"You also know that Li Shimin is lying, right?"

"It's not something I'm supposed to think about, I'm just passing the word." Li Mu didn't dare to face Miss Lu's eyes, because his thoughts were the same as Miss Lu's, Li Shimin was an emperor, and it was impossible for him to accept Miss Lu and his son's submission. Emperors are ruthless, and always have been. Li Mu took a deep breath and said, "It's not early, I still have to study disaster relief countermeasures, so don't leave it at that." ”

"You wait." Miss Lu stopped Li Mu and said, "If you want food, I can give you a chance." ”

Watching Li Mu walk away, Mama Rong returned to the stone pavilion, Miss Lu was sorting out the chess pieces, and Mama Rong also helped out.

"Miss, this kid Li Mu is scheming, don't fall for him."
