Seeing off the two great elders, Li Mu held on to the armrest of the chair, supported his head, and sighed with some emotion: "Madam, you said that in this world, why are there so few people who really want to do something?" ”

Wang Ou didn't know why, and asked, "Who is the husband talking about?" ”

"The two who just left." Li Mu nunnified his chin and gestured to Wang Ou: "These two people, each representing a tribe, but you see, they are waiting and looking forward to the status quo that they want to change, but when it comes to change, they still think of themselves." Thinking that in the future, Miao Jiang may be governed by the descendants of these people, and I am very worried. ”

"Huh?"

"Maybe one day, they themselves will become the Cui Yuyan they are today." Li Mu smiled bitterly and remembered a sentence he had seen in his previous life: "In the end, I became the most hated by myself." ”

Wang Ou was also a little stunned, and after a while, she patted the back of Li Mu's hand and said, "Husband, things in this world can't be as good as they should be. You can help this step, it is already a blessing for the people of Miaojiang. Isn't there so many words for things in the future? Even if they do become like that, they will do their own thing, and you can't blame it. ”

"I'm just feeling sorry for the people." Li Mu said abruptly: "The people are suffering, the people are suffering, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me." ”

"The ancients?" Wang Ou obviously hadn't read Zhang Yanghao's "Tong Caring for the Ancients" hundreds of years later, and asked: "Husband, which ancient man said it?" Why haven't I read this? ”

"Uh," Li Mu said casually: "I saw it in an anonymous lone book, the article is gone, and only this sentence remains." Hurriedly interrupted: "It's not important, let me tell you something, in the next few days, things here are coming, you pack up your belongings, we have to prepare to go back." ”

"Hmm." Wang Ou nodded in response and did not continue to ask. In my heart, I have already attributed the 'copyright' of this sentence to my husband, who has always been such a low-key person, and has made good poems, and said that he saw it.

How did she know that Li Mu was really weak-hearted. With his character, if it was really his own poems, how could he be low-key.

……

Tang Jian was still very quick in handling things, and said that he had three days, but at dusk the next day, he had already arrested all the escaped prisoners. Looking at his speed, Li Mu was very suspicious, did this old boy have already sent someone to monitor these people, otherwise how could he be so accurate? You must know that Miaojiang is all over the mountains, and there are dense forests everywhere, if a person wants to escape, where can he find it in the forest?

But he didn't ask, Tang Jian was an old fritter, even if he arranged it, he couldn't admit it.

Some things are still tacitly good.

Li Mu found the two great elders and asked them to inform each Miao village that they would send people to participate in the public trial. It is better to find some bitter masters who have suffered losses, and angrily denounce the crimes of these criminals in public, so that all the people will know what they have committed.

As for how the sentence should be imposed, there was also some discussion. The meaning of the two elders is, of course, to sentence them severely, and it is best to cut them down to set an example. But Tang Jian still insisted that he should be fair and just, some officials did not take the initiative to harm the people of Miaojiang, they were just taken by the power of the Cui family and the coercion from above, and had to become accomplices, although such people are guilty, but the crime is not to death.

Li Mu finally adopted Tang Jian's opinion, although his thoughts were not the same as Tang Jian's. He also wanted to give a harsh sentence, but when he saw the posture of the two great elders, he felt as if he was a little too indulgent and too accustomed to it. Maybe it's because there are too many things along with them, and it's a bit of a kick in the face?

It must be contained!

But when he decided, he fell into confusion again. He suddenly realized that what he had just done became more and more like Li Shimin's situation.

Isn't this the art of kingship? The way of balance! Maybe there are some things, it's really like this, your own ideas are not too important, right and wrong are not too important, balance is the most important thing.

Li Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly, he just said that others yesterday would eventually live like he hated, and he did the same thing today. In this world, no one can escape the word 'true fragrance'.

Li Muxiang's head hurt, so he simply didn't care, handed over everything to Tang Jian, and ran to tease his daughter. The little guy had already opened his eyes and was very curious about everything, Li Mu felt that he had to brush his face more now, so that he could have a chance to win the honor of the child's first call for father.

……

Li Mu did not come forward, and the public trial was naturally presided over by Tang Jian. This day is also the first day of the Feast of Jozo. In addition to the representatives selected by each village, there were many people who came to join in the fun when they heard that the imperial court was going to deal with the prisoners. The three floors inside and the three floors outside surrounded the entire public trial venue.

Li Mu stood on the top of the mountain and looked down, all of his eyes were full of people, and he suddenly wanted to take a look. Anyway, in the morning, Tang Jian had already brought him a detailed list of how to convict, and if he was convicted according to this directory, there was basically no problem, and there was no difference if he was not there.

With kung fu, it's better to hug your daughter.

"Daddy?" Li Mu turned around and brought the door, and ran to harass his daughter. Wang Ou had just finished breastfeeding, and when he heard this 'father', he glanced at him sideways and said angrily: "Husband, I told you, don't tease the child so much." It's so unruly, if you keep calling it like this, aren't you afraid that your daughter won't call your father as many times as you call her in her life? ”

"How can it," Li Mu hugged her daughter over, and the little girl looked like she was going to cry, looking at her mother with blank eyes. Li Mu chased after the child's head, blocked her line of sight, and said, "Come, call Dad, you scream, Dad won't bother you." ”

"Wow......"

Finally I cried.

Li Mu hurriedly raced his daughter back into Wang Ou's arms, and sighed: "I'm a father, why am I so annoying?" Both daughters annoy me, I might as well die. ”

Wang Ou said a little sourly: "Is it okay for your son to like you?" ”

"What's the use of that?" Li Mu snorted: "When I grow up, I'm not a person who makes a lot of anger, if it weren't for the sake of inheritance, I had to have one, I didn't want that thing." ”

"It's strange to believe you." Wang Ou gave him a blank look, put the child to sleep, and gently put it in the cradle. pulled Li Mu out of the house and whispered, "Husband, when will we go?" ”

"I've thought about it, you're not out of confinement yet, I'm thinking about staying a few more days. It will be winter in a while, and there is not much to do when I go back to Chang'an, so it is okay to stay a few more days. Li Mu actually wanted to go back in his heart, after all, there was still a big family in Luoyang, and he was also worried about a lot of things, he was not handling it well, and he didn't know what was going on with the preparations of the Foreign Affairs Office. Next year, the Foreign Affairs Office will play a very big role, and if there are problems in the preparations, there will be even more problems.

But Wang Ou didn't have a confinement after all, and if he was tired of traveling, something would probably go wrong, which he couldn't accept. So Li Mu thought about it, but decided to stay a few more days, at least wait for Wang Ou to leave after confinement.

"Husband, don't wait so long. After crossing the river, it's all overland, didn't you bring a four-wheeled carriage here? Let's wrap the carriage tightly, the evil wind can't come in, and the food and drink are all in the car, and it won't be a big deal. Qiaoqiao also just gave birth there, and she also needs you to accompany her. There are also a lot of things in Luoyang, if I dominate you, how ignorant will I be? I've packed all my luggage, and we'll go back tomorrow. ”

"Well...... Li Mu thought for a while, and said in a compromise: "If you don't want to stay for ten days and a half a month, it's not bad for these days, there are so many people taking care of Qiaoqiao over there, and I said when I left, when I went back, she was prepared." ”

"I'd like to be coincidental, too." Wang Ou also insisted, saying: "If you love me and love me, then let's go back early." ”

"Okay......" Wang Ou said so, Li Mu no longer insisted, and the couple agreed to stay for another day tomorrow and pack up the day after tomorrow.

At this time, a scream came from the mountainside. It seems that the 'warm-up' of the public trial has been completed, and the slashing has begun.

Li Mu closed the door tightly, glanced into the room, and sighed. A bunch of innocent guys, don't wake up my girl.

"Big brother!"

At this moment, Dugu Jiu's voice came. Then the children in the house cried, and Li Mu said angrily: "What are you arguing about? My daughter is sleeping! ”

Dugu Jiu was a little embarrassed, lowered his voice, and said, "Big brother, there's something." ”

"What's the matter?" Li Mu opened the door and flashed out, he knew that Dugu Jiu was not a person without measure, if it was a trivial matter, he would not be in such a hurry.

Seeing Li Mu come out, Dugu Jiu handed a note to Li Mu.

"Pigeon Biography?" Li Mu said strangely: "I just released the pigeons before yesterday, and they shouldn't have flown to Chang'an, right?" Why did you reply so quickly? ”

"It's not a reply." Dugu Jiu said solemnly: "Big brother, you better see it yourself." ”

"I can't say anything yet-" Li Mu unfolded the note, and his expression suddenly froze. He looked at Dugu Jiu and said, "What are you looking for me to do with this kind of thing?" Is there no one in the court? ”

"Shall we go back?"

"I ......" Li Mu took a deep breath, stared blankly at the bottom of the mountain, and let out another scream, reminding him that he had offended the Boling Cui clan to death.

"Let's go, I owe favors, I have to make up for it." Li Mu tore up the note and said, "Separate ordinary people, match two horses, and go back to Chang'an with me." For the remaining half of the people, you take and escort your sister-in-law and children to walk slowly, don't be too anxious, it's a clean matter to go back early. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Dugu Jiu didn't say that he wanted to go back with Li Mu, he knew that it was impossible, compared to his own safety, Li Mu would always care more about his wife and children.

Li Mu turned around and entered the house, Wang Ou listened at the door for a long time, saw Li Mu come in, and asked, "Husband, what's wrong?" Didn't we say we were going back together? ”

"Alas," Li Mu said, "There was an accident," Li Mu cried and laughed, and said: "Someone rebelled, and His Majesty summoned me back to quell the rebellion." ”

"Rebellion?" Wang Ou's first impression was absurd, because Li Mu was talking about rebellion, not border troubles. Now in the Tang Dynasty, are there any other forces that can rebel? Back then, Li Shimin was invincible in the world, what Liu Heimin, Wang Shichong, which was not the heroes at that time, the death of the dead, the death of the dead, the death of the main valve forces, the vitality of the great injury, who still has the ability and courage to dare to rebel?

"Yes, rebellion." Li Mu really couldn't help it, and laughed out loud: "Our Majesty's good son has rebelled, has Li You, the king of Qi, heard of it?" My son rebelled against my father, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty shirked and didn't want to go to quell the rebellion, so His Majesty had to recruit me back, wanting me to lead troops to quell the rebellion-"

"Qi King Li You?" Wang Ou frowned and said, "Is it the Li You who clashed with you?" How old is he, and he has no soldiers and horses under him, how could he think of rebelling? It's not going to work."

"Where do I know where to go? Maybe it's born with a brain wreck? "Li Mu actually knows, when I watched "Zhenguan Long Song" before, there was a paragraph about Li You's rebellion. There is indeed such an incident in history, but it was more than ten years later, when Li Chengqian and Li Tai were competing for the crown prince, Li You had such a thing.

At that time, it was Li Ji who was in charge of suppression, Li Ji led the army over, as if he was accompanying a child to play at home, coaxed him for half a month, and captured him alive without much effort, without any waves. Maybe it's because of the butterfly effect caused by your own crossing? This was brought forward by ten years, and the candidate for counterinsurgency became himself.

In fact, it is not difficult to guess why Li Shimin asked Li Mu to quell the rebellion. The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, but who wants to do such a thing if he has a long brain? People are father and son, blood is thicker than water, this "Where do I know where to go?" Maybe it's born with a brain wreck?
