Chapter 381: I'm Wronged!
"As for the other box of ......"
Li Mu sighed and set his eyes on Hou Junji. When Hou Junji saw Li Mu coming over, he suddenly had a 'black question mark' face, and he had very little contact with Li Muping. Only had a long conversation, or when they first met, he asked Li Mu for wine, Li Mu sent a car to his house, he entertained Li Mu, and it was a meal. After that, no matter how selfless he went, Hou Junji really couldn't imagine why Li Mu would look at himself, there was also something about me here?
Shepherd Li sighed and said, "It's been some time since I talked about this, and I don't know if the general still remembers." On that day, I came to visit, and the general entertained me, and during the banquet, the general talked about many difficulties in becoming the secretary of the military department at the beginning, and one of them was about armor. The general said, not to mention the local government soldiers, that is, the janissaries of Gyeonggi, they cannot achieve one person and one armor, and when they fight, the soldiers are all using flesh and blood to meet the enemy's blade...... General, do you remember this? ”
Hou Junji tried hard to think about it, and vaguely had some impressions that he was drunk that day, and he complained a few words, but he really couldn't remember exactly what he didn't say about the armor. But at this time, it seems that he is drunk and misleading, Hou Junji is not a fool, how can he not see that Li Mu has the upper hand? Then he said: "There is such a thing, but this kind of thing is not only my dynasty, it has been the case in all dynasties, and there has never been a dynasty that can do one person and one first." ”
Li Mu sighed and said, "But I don't know!" ”
"I listened to the general's words that day, and when I returned home, I have been concerned about this matter, and I want to do something, even if I can't let everyone in the Tang Dynasty have armor, but at least the face of the guards and my Tang army will make them have armor, which is also good. I never forgot this in my mind, until recently, when the cooperation between the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the factory, and the merchants matured, and I had an idea. Why not set up a factory to produce armor for the Praetorian Guards? If there is such a factory dedicated to production and unified scheduling, it will greatly reduce the loss and reduce the cost of armor! ”
"This is not my nonsense to exonerate the crime, I have mentioned this matter to many businessmen. If Your Majesty and your lords do not believe me, I can name them and ask them to bear witness for me!" With this 10,000 yuan of start-up capital, I have recruited a group of laborers, there is a ruined house near Yanxingmen, and now the princes can see it when they go to Dongcheng, I asked them to demolish the abandoned house, and the wood, stone and other materials that can be used are put aside for retention, and those that cannot be used are cleaned up outside the city. In the spring of the next year, when I sell the Zhenguan plough and return some of the money, I will build another factory in Dongcheng! ”
Speaking of this, Li Mu said indignantly: "This is where the two big boxes of 'bribes' go, may I ask the princes, did I do something wrong?!" ”
Li Mu looked at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty said that the crime committed by the minister is the crime of exile from the family. Okay, please Your Majesty go and raid my house. I'm not afraid of His Majesty's jokes, but now in the minister's house, the cash in the treasury, plus the gold and silver are soft, and my lady's jewelry will not exceed 10,000 yuan. Everyone knows my business, how much is the monthly income of the wine shop, how much is the monthly income of Fengqiuhuang's perfume, silver mirror, soap, etc., and the princes can roughly calculate it, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a daily income, right? But now I only have this little money, may I ask Your Majesty, may I ask your lords, embezzlement like me, bribery like me, can there be any through the ages? ”
"I went to find Uncle Guo, it has nothing to do with Gaochang's affairs, I can't even be busy with my own affairs, how can I have the heart to do anything else? Besides, with my Li Mu's two moments, can I think of the words that Uncle Guo said to seek the country? You think too highly of me! If you don't believe it, Uncle Guo, did I mention the word Gaochang yesterday? ”
Everyone looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and the eldest grandson Wuji instantly felt that his cheeks on both sides were hot, but now, he could only accompany Li Mu to act, shook his head and said: "Li Mu is looking for me for the sake of the dog's studies, and it has nothing to do with other things, please don't speculate." ”
Li Shimin knew Li Mu's dedication, but he didn't expect Li Mu to pay so much, and all kinds of feelings came to his heart, and then he saw Li Mu kneeling on the ground, his eyes blurred in an instant, he got up from the dragon chair and walked down the steps, picked up Li Mu with both hands, and said: "I have been wronged, I can't stand you." ”
After that, he looked at Wang Jingze, and then swept to the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and said: "The Marquis of Zhulu is loyal to me and does his best for the Tang Dynasty. He took a bribe, but I thought that if he received it well, he would be greedy. If the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are so corrupt and accept bribes, why worry about the livelihood of the people? From now on, all departments and offices should not interfere in the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, even if the Marquis of Zhulu is corrupt and bribe-taking, I will deal with him, and there is no need for Yu Shitai to do a lot of things! ”
As soon as the imperial historians heard this, they all stood up, and even Wei Zheng couldn't help but speak up, and said: "Your Majesty, the Imperial History Observatory pickets hundreds of officials, how can the Internal Affairs Office be an exception?" This is not an example! ”
Wang Jingze also said: "Your Majesty, don't be deceived by the rhetoric of the Marquis of Zhulu. How could he be as miserable as he said? Even if his winery business is set up in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he still has a part of the horse farm, as well as Datang Salt Industry and Datang Mining......"
"Shut up!" Li Shimin was also really angry, glared at Wang Jingze angrily, and said: "There must be a limit to bullying, you are boasting here, why don't you take out a penny?" Li Mu is a real person who got in, you villains, what do you say about him? ”
Wang Jingze was unconvinced: "Your Majesty, the ministers and other imperial history, the two sleeves are breezy, where did the money come from!" Chase the deer and marquish him......"
Li Mu interrupted Wang Jingze's words and said coldly: "It's a sin for me to make money?" I robbed you of your money? ”
Li Mu looked at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and said, "Princess, whether I, Li Mu, sell wine or perfume, have you ever coerced and lured anyone to buy and sell by force?" If you don't want to drink it, you don't have to buy it! If the perfume doesn't work, you can not buy it! Am I pushing anyone? Suddenly, Li Mu looked at Wang Jingze and said, "It's you dog Yushi, you force me!" Just because I offended your boss and Wei Zheng, you want to put me to death, and you want to close me to a dead end! ”
Wei Zheng saw that Li Mu was really anxious, and hurriedly said: "Li Mu, what are you talking about, when did the old man force you?" is Wang Zhongcheng, who is also justified and well-founded, and has not falsely accused you! Who knows what you're spending your money for? What's wrong with the news of the imperial history?! ”
"Ha, what's wrong!" Li Mu gritted his teeth and said, "Last time, I talked about the business of the Internal Affairs Office. You live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, saying that I want to use the Ministry of Internal Affairs to enrich myself and force me to agree, and the business of the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot compete with the people for profit. Okay, I'm right. A few days ago, I heard the rumors again that there were some people in the Imperial Observatory who wanted to impeach me again! said that I gave most of the orders from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the merchants of Longyou and Taiyuan. I am a shareholder of Datang Mining and Datang Salt, and I am giving it to each other in disguise! ”
"I want to ask, there are only a few capable businessmen. I don't give the order to them, I find a small businessman, can he fulfill the order? What if he can't complete the order and delays things? ”
"I can't explain it, so I have to withdraw all the shares except my own business! But how many more businesses can I do? Whatever I do, you will all say that I am competing with the people! I can't help it, I can only go to open a green building! You forced me to open a green building, and I have to be scolded by you, you sanctimonious dogs! Still cheeky? ”
Li Musheng blushed and looked open, and shouted hysterically: "Tell you, the old man of the Qinglou has made a decision!" I'll tell you! From today onwards, no one in the Teaching Workshop Division will be allowed to leave the Teaching Workshop Division! You white pigs and dogs, can't you scold me? Good! I'll send all your friends to the Qinglou! Let's see who's uncomfortable! ”
As soon as Li Mu's words came out, the Liangyi Hall suddenly exploded. Someone shouted: "Zhuluhou, what does the sectarian department have to do with you?" You fight with Yushitai, don't involve the sect division, they are all some weak women, how can you bear it! ”
Li Mu looked for prestige, but he didn't recognize it, and sneered; "You have pity on you, but it's useless! I have a bad temper, and if I am aggrieved today, I have to vent and take revenge! The Ministry of Internal Affairs is in charge of the various departments in the palace, and the Department of Teaching and Workshop is also in it. Unless Your Majesty removes me from the post of Minister of the Interior, this matter must be done, and no one will have face! You villains, you are not as good as those who prostitutes in Pingkangfang, at least they will pay back the money, and you won't even give money! From now on, there will be no way! ”
"The dignified military marquis, how can you be so vulgar, who is the villain, you can make it clear!"
"It's ridiculous that such a vulgar person can also be an official in the court—"
The crowd was excited, which really made Li Shimin guess it, which angered everyone.
Everyone looked at Li Shimin, waiting for him to make a decision. Li Mu also looked at him, Li Shimin saw Li Mu's red eyes, the guilt in his heart reached its peak, he took a deep breath, overshadowed all the voices loudly, and said: "Zhulu Hou is in charge of the Internal Affairs Office, and all matters are decided by him with one word, and I can trust him." ”
Li Mu said again: "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to say. ”
"Say!"
"When the minister took bribes, I heard that the prince of Gaochang said that there were still many people in the court who also accepted bribes, and the minister asked His Majesty to investigate thoroughly. Also, when talking about these dog things in Yushitai, the ministers want to see if they are as clean as they say, please let your majesty let the ministers check them, if they are not truthful, they will cut off their heads, chop them up and feed the dogs, especially you, Wang Jingze! If you let me find out the handle of corruption and bribery, I won't cut you one by one, Li Mu wrote the words backwards! ”
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but look at the people of Yushitai, and when he saw that some of them were flustered, he was suddenly dissatisfied. Li Mu is right, you group of imperial historians impeach others at every turn, whether they are clean or not, but no one supervises. It's okay to let Li Mu check it, and the right to give him a vent.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin spoke: "It should be so-"
"No!"
Wei Zheng interrupted Li Shimin's words and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, no! ”
