Chapter 139: Rigid and Straight
But, then again. The ridge can be supported, and the degree must be mastered, if it goes too far, it really makes Li Shimin anxious, and it will be very bad.
Therefore, Li Mu was not in a hurry, but waited patiently, he was waiting for Li Shimin to be anxious, and at the same time he was thinking about how to deal with it. He waited like this, but he could hang Gao Gonggong and Sun Fujia.
Originally, Gao Gonggong thought in his heart, Li Shimin had already given enough face by doing this, and as a courtier, he was still not grateful to the ground? But after waiting for a long time, I just watched Li Chongyi eat steamed buns one after another, and Li Mu didn't react at all, did he guess wrong? Isn't this kid awake yet?
Gao Gonggong's brows were tightened, and he was a little puzzled in his heart. Judging from the breath, Li Mu should be awake, could it be that this kid is pretending to be asleep? Thinking that Li Shimin was still waiting for his reply, Gonggong Gao was a little impatient, stood up and came to the fence, and said, "Master Hou, don't pretend, our family knows that you are awake." Your Majesty treats you well, so let's stop in moderation. Our family has been with Your Majesty for so many years, and we have never seen Your Majesty think so much about which courtier, you have to be considerate of the Holy Will! ”
The implication is that don't be embarrassed!
Li Mu's temper came up all of a sudden, and he didn't care whether he thought about it or not, yawned a lot, and sat up slowly.
Seeing that he moved, Gonggong Gao hurriedly said, "Master Hou, did you hear what our family said?" We've been waiting for a long time, there is paper and pen, if you want to write, write it quickly, after writing it, we will show it to Your Majesty, you might as well go home early, right? ”
Li Mu turned a deaf ear, and only opened his eyes after yawning. seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then 'jumped' up, jumping to his feet and scolding: "Which bastard got Lao Tzu to such a place?" I drank wine and recited poetry with the Emperor, I don't know how happy I was? Who is plotting against me? Putting me in prison? His grandma! Who was so bold as to kidnap Ben Hou? Come out to Lao Tzu! Big guy, big guy! ”
Li Chongyi put down the steamed bun and responded: "Boss, I'm here!" ”
Li Mu was furious: "What are you waiting for? Smash this wall for me, let's get out!" Smash! ”
Li Chongyi didn't care what others thought, he got Li Mu's order, got up and picked up the axe and was about to smash the wall.
"Wait!" Sun Fujia hurriedly shouted and said, "Master Hou, this is Dali Temple, you can't smash the wall again!" ”
"Dali Temple?" Li Mu turned around at this time, and saw the speechless Gao Gonggong and the frightened Sun Fujia, and exclaimed: "Oh, I said how to look familiar, it turned out to be Dali Temple." Oh, Grandpa Gao? Why are you here? And Sun Shaoqing? What are you doing...... Oops! It's broken, could it be that Ben Hou was drunk and killed people and set fire? How else would you be caught here? Tell me who is the sufferer? I'm trying to find a way to fix it! ”
Father-in-law Gao took over and said, "Master Hou, let's not pretend to be confused." Our family already knew that you were awake, so write an excerpt to admit your mistake, and our family should go back. If you don't write, how will this matter be resolved? Are you going to stay in this prison all the time? ”
"I don't understand what Grandpa Gao said." Li Mu continued to pretend to be stupid and said, "How can Ben Hou pretend to be confused? I just said, something happened, I want to find a way to remedy it, isn't that okay? ”
Grandpa Gao was also a little annoyed, and said, "Master Hou! You're going a little too far. In front of Your Majesty, you keep saying, 'The Son of Heaven can't come to the court, just because the minister is a fairy in wine', which is a great disrespect to Your Majesty. Your Majesty's mind is like the sea, just let you ask for a fold to ask for guilt, is it true that Your Majesty's fist heart, Hou Ye really doesn't understand? ”
"Grandpa Gao!" Li Mu also couldn't be more sincere, and said, "I really don't understand what I'm doing wrong." Let's not talk about it, I didn't write this poem. Even if I did it, I didn't feel any disrespect for His Majesty. Now, I have no official or position, and I am an idler. Shouldn't you have gone to court in the first place? Na, Gonggong Gao, you said, how many rank officials am I? When I go to the court, do I stand on the left or on the right, and I can't stand in the middle, right? What a system! ”
"......" Father-in-law Gao really asked, yes, someone resigned. The internal order is said to be an official, but strictly speaking, it is not an official, which is ...... How is this good?
Gao Gonggong finally realized the feeling of being a 'friend of the other party', he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, and he couldn't speak, this is clearly a hob meat, but what can I do?
"Then how do you compare yourself to an immortal?"
"Hah!" Li Mu laughed and said, "This is strange, how do you say it?" Arrogant! I dare to call myself the first poet of the Tang Dynasty without drinking too much, is it normal to drink too much and compare myself to an immortal? Saying that, Li Mu patted his chest and said, "I'll publish it in the newspaper tomorrow, and I'll say that I'm a wine fairy, what's wrong?" Breaking the law? If anyone is unhappy, he can also call himself the king of wine, the king of wine, I can't let myself entertain, it's really ......"
Grandpa Gao really couldn't say it, and said with a wry smile: "My Hou Ye, your mouth, I'm really convinced." Okay, we won't have anything to do with you. You just say, is this excerpt written or not? ”
"Don't write!" Li Mu stiffened his neck and said, "I'm not wrong, what to write?" But you have put me in prison, and I want to ask you for an explanation. What crime did Ben Hou commit that actually put me in prison? As he spoke, he looked at Sun Fujia and said, "Sun Fujia, you are the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, in charge of the judicial prison." I'm going to ask you, which of the Tang laws Ben Hou has violated, if you can't tell! I'm not done with you, how long you keep me, you have to let me in and live for as long as you want! ”
Sun Fujia was speechless, and said in his heart, I am looking for someone to provoke. People sit at home, and pots come from heaven. You weren't sent in by me, I'm just a janitor here, what does it have to do with me?
I opened my mouth and wanted to speak, but I didn't know what to say, Li Mu's question was not wrong, you arrested someone, you have to have a name. Arresting people for no reason is not tolerated by the law. This place is Dali Temple, who is responsible? It must be him, who made him the Shaoqing of Dali Temple?
Sun Fujia was self-aware, knowing that he couldn't talk about Li Mu, so he hurriedly looked at Gonggong Gao and said, "Father-in-law, look at this matter......"
"That's it!" Gao Gonggong flicked his sleeves and said, "Let's not go around with him, let's go and tell Your Majesty and let Your Majesty deal with him!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Li Shimin's voice rang out: "No need to tell me, I'm listening!" ”
Gao Gonggong and Sun Fujia hurriedly saluted, and Li Mu saw Li Shimin coming around the corner, but he didn't mean to salute, just looked at the fence, like a melon-eating crowd that had nothing to do with him.
The eldest grandson Wuji and Wang Jue followed behind Li Shimin, and when they saw Li Mu looking over, they all gave him a look, but Li Mu seemed to be invisible, and he didn't react at all.
Li Shimin came to the front of the fence with a calm face, waved his hand, and motioned for the others to withdraw, leaving only him and the eldest grandson Wuji and Wang Jue, standing in front of Li Mu.
Li Shimin and Li Mu looked at each other and said, "Li Mu, I'm really not too used to you, look at the way you look like no one in your eyes now!" If it weren't for the auxiliary machine and Shu Jue's strong persuasion, you really wouldn't have killed you? You won't go down the steps, what should you do? Is it upside down? ”
Li Mu glanced at Li Shimin, drooped his head, and said, "Your Majesty, if you don't understand, you don't understand." The minister didn't do anything wrong, why should he admit his mistake? ”
"Dare to talk back?" Li Shimin glared at Li Mu and said, "Do you want me to make my words clear?" You are crazy with alcohol today, do you dare to say that it is not because of Li Ji's father and son? Li Shimin sighed and said, "Li Mu, I am the emperor, and I have my own reasons for doing things." You are a courtier, you can only give me advice, and in the end, how I decide is my own business. This is the so-called Sacred Heart's arbitrariness. You can't transgress your duty as a courtier, and if a courtier says something, I have to listen to something, then the world is still mine? ”
Li Mu said: "Your Majesty, since you said so, the minister also admits it." Having said that, the minister simply said it directly. There are two reasons why the minister is depressed. The first reason is indeed because of what happened to the father-in-law and the brother-in-law. The minister was born in Mayi, and the minister's father, who was the chief of the army, died in the battle with the Turks, and did not even have a tomb. Since he was a child, he has never felt the affection of father and son, let alone the righteousness of brothers. My Father treated me like a father, guiding me and helping me. Although my brother is young Meng Lang, he trusts me and treats me sincerely. Without him, it would be impossible for the minister to go to Chang'an. Receiving the grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, now the righteous father and the righteous brother have suffered injustice, and the minister naturally can't be familiar with it! ”
"The righteous brother Siwen was deceived and brought the lord of Huanzhu back to Chang'an. But the lord of Zhu County stabbed Jieli and led to a huge matter. Whoever is responsible is obvious to all. But how did His Majesty do it? His Majesty drove the minister's righteous brother out of Chang'an, and it was like a distribution. And the initiator, the county lord of Zhuzhu, not only covered up his crimes, but also sealed the county lord. What is the truth of this? ”
Li Mu's tone became more and more unconvinced, and said: "Please ask Your Majesty, since Your Majesty has made the county lord, it means that the minister's righteous brother is right." Otherwise, His Majesty should punish the Assassins severely. Why does Your Majesty contradict himself? Moreover, when the minister pleaded with His Majesty, His Majesty also promised that the minister would not blame him. The minister believed it was true, and he was happy for his righteous brother, but His Majesty deceived the minister! ”
Li Mu turned his head to look at Li Shimin and said, "The minister knows, Your Majesty can say that you are not lying to the minister." You just said no-kill, but you didn't say no-punishment. But the minister wants to ask Your Majesty, what is the basis for this punishment? The Son of Heaven rules the country with the law, how can he wreak havoc on selfishness? If Your Majesty has neglected the law, what is the use of asking for it? It's better to abolish the law from now on, and Your Majesty can do whatever you want, anyway, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and what you say is the law, who dares to say anything?! ”
The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't listen to it anymore, and said sharply: "Li Mu, are you looking for death?" Don't stop talking! ”
Li Shimin blushed, waved his hand, and said: "Don't say too much about the auxiliary machine, I want to see what else he can say!" ”
