Just when everyone thought that Li Mu was going to 'win a big victory and return', I saw that he suddenly patted the back of his head as if he remembered something, and said: "Oh, Wei Gong, if you hadn't reminded me, I almost forgot, I didn't break the law, but someone can break the law, Wei Gong is responsible for repairing the law, how can he be so procrastinated on this matter?" Isn't it ......" Li Mu deliberately dragged out his voice, approached Wei Zheng, and said, "Deliberately cover up, right?" ”

"You!"

How could there be such a bully, Wei Zheng instantly rushed into his head, forgot what place this was, glared at Li Mu angrily, and said, "This is all calculated by you!" ”

"That's right!" Li Mu shamelessly admitted it, spread his hands, and said, "Will you plan it, didn't my good apprentice tell you?" Saying that, Li Mu's face turned cold, and said, "I'm stupid, who is to blame?" If you do something wrong, you don't want to repent, and you want to put it in the opposite direction, and you don't see if you have that brain! Are you and I idle all these days? To tell you the truth, now the two generals, Niu Jinda and Li Daozong, have spread the news thousands of miles away, and His Majesty's guilty edict has been made public. The gate valve stabbed, the gate valve violated the law, the gate valve encroached on the fields, the gate valve enslaved the villagers, the crime of the world, the gate valve accounted for seven out of ten, and now there are only two choices in front of you - no, there is only one choice, give up your stupid delusions, honestly, and follow the will of His Majesty in a proper manner, those who obey will prosper, and those who rebel perish! Can you understand these six words? ”

Eighty percent of the hundreds of officials were born with the surname of the gate valve, and when they saw Li Mu so rampant, they all made a noise. Gao Gonggong saw that the situation was about to go in a serious direction, and asked Li Shimin with his eyes if he wanted to stop it, but Li Shimin waved his hand, what he liked most was Li Mu's rampant appearance, and he liked it more and more. In fact, Li Mu has changed a lot, and now he is far better than when he first came to Chang'an, and he blew up at any one teasing. Now, he is only rampant when he is sure of victory, and he is always smiling and grinning on weekdays. His current attitude is so arrogant, which shows that he is sure of victory, and this is the final blow, forcing Wei Zheng to express his position.

"Li Mu, last year's conquest of the Turks, almost exhausted the national strength, now is the time to recuperate, you just provoked contradictions, do you hate the peace of the world for too long!"

"I don't understand what you are saying, Gong Wei!" Li Mu refuted mercilessly: "I only know that the grain merchants in Shandong wantonly raised prices and did not take His Majesty in their eyes. I only know that six of the five surnames and seven wangs have all been assassins, causing His Majesty to bleed! I only know that in the face of the violation of the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the princes who shouted that the Son of Heaven had committed the same crime as the common people on weekdays were delaying and making excuses. Treat Your Majesty harshly in everything, treat yourself, but be tolerant everywhere? The shepherd is young and ignorant and does not understand where this double standard comes from. The law, the criterion of morality! Morality, the reason why people are human beings! In the eyes of Wei Gong and others, the law regulates the emperor, not the gate valve? So what's the use of the law? ”

"I asked Your Majesty to let Duke Wei preside over the revision of the law, just to let Duke Wei understand that the reason why the law is the law is because it regulates the words and deeds of everyone in this country, from the Son of Heaven to the people of Li, no one can violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty! The common people, the princes, the nobles, and the gate valves! It would be unwise to be quiet for a while, but if hidden dangers are buried. I thought that using the sharpest blade, cutting the skin, digging out the carrion, and the pain of the moment, in exchange for a lifetime of peace, scraping the bones and curing the poison, this is the right way! ”

"The knife is not Li Mu's knife, nor is it His Majesty's knife. The knife used today is the sharp blade that the assassin stabbed at His Majesty that day, and the blame is to take four words, can Duke Wei write? ”

Wei Zheng pursed his lips and looked at Li Mu, and he didn't say anything for a long time. After a while, Wei Zheng turned around and knelt down to Li Shimin, took out a fold from his sleeve, presented it with both hands, and said, "Your Majesty, the twenty-seven clans of Shandong Sanwang have jointly supported Your Majesty in rebuilding the Tang Dynasty." ”

Seeing this, Wang Jue also hurriedly knelt down and took out a fold from his sleeve: "The Taiyuan Wang clan, the Qinghe Cui clan, the Zhaojun Li clan, and the thirty-two clans of Heshuo, conform to the grace of heaven and support Your Majesty to rebuild the Tang Dynasty." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was not ready to play the setback, but seeing that the general trend had been achieved, he also bowed down and said: "The noble clans have always been the only ones who look forward to His Majesty. ”

"Zhong Aiqing is flat." Li Shimin raised his hand with a red face and said, "Qing and the others are too serious, I govern the country with benevolence and filial piety, and everything is easy to discuss." After that, he looked at Li Mu and frowned: "Li Mu, you are a junior, in front of many elders, what kind of system do you have to shout so much?" Even if you are right, I will punish you and stretch out your hand. ”

Li Mu put his hands behind his back: "Your Majesty, this ......"

"Reach out."

Li Mu had no choice but to stretch out his hand, Li Shimin picked up the paperweight on the table, slapped it on Li Mu's palm, and said, "Hit you, have a long memory." ”

"The minister knows that he is wrong."

Seeing that the two monarchs and ministers were like playing at home, the officials felt humiliated, but they were unreasonable, so they could only hold it in their hearts and couldn't have a seizure.

Wei Zheng took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, the matter of the field, the minister has also seriously investigated it in the past few days, and it is consistent with the investigation of Changsun Chong and others. But there is a reason for it, please consider it. ”

Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng and said, "What is the reason for the incident, Aiqing will tell me." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister's hometown is in Quyang County, let's take some of the minister's relatives as an example. The surname Wei is also a big surname in Quyang County. Many of them do have more land than they can according to the law. But there is a joint among them, and all the fields owned by these people were already owned in the former Sui Dynasty. It has been passed down from generation to generation, not by ingenuity. If the change of dynasties makes them lose the land that originally belonged to them, the ministers think that it will cause a surge of public anger and be detrimental to the court. ”

Wei Zheng is serious, and it is indeed the truth. This is the way he came up with it, and there is no way to do it. Now that the gate valve clan wants to resist, they can't resist anymore, so they can only do the opposite, admitting that they have violated the law of the Tang Dynasty, but throw out the real situation and see how you answer correctly!

Li Shimin looked at Li Mu, and Li Mu naturally took over and said: "Right is right, wrong is wrong." The court has the laws of the court, but it does not mean that the property of the people is not guaranteed. These things just prove that the law of the previous dynasty is no longer suitable for the current environment of Datang. It doesn't matter, anything can be discussed, isn't this rebuilding the Datang Law? I believe that if you think about it, you will be able to find a solution to the problem. Now the question is not who owns the fields and who will plant them, but the taxes! Let's also take the Wei family in Quyang County as an example, your Wei family planted 10,000 mu of land, but only paid 5,000 mu of taxes, and the difference of 5,000 mu is all the loss of the imperial court! Someone has to make up for this loss! ”
