"Father, my son knows that he is wrong, can you open the door and see your son."

"Father, if you say something, my son is worried."

"Father, my son knows that the thief has offended you. But...... Father, you have taught your son that everything is important to the overall situation, and it is easy to kill him, but it involves more than 50,000 Turkic people, I can't kill them all, Father, please understand and understand your son's suffering——"

Li Shimin has been kneeling for an hour, but no matter what, Li Yuan just doesn't open the door, and there is a sound of smashing things from time to time, obviously the old man has not lost his breath.

Li Shimin knelt at the door to compensate Li Yuan, and Ashina Simo knelt next to Li Shimin to compensate him. Li Mu stood next to him like a person who had nothing to do, standing for a long time, a little sleepy, and couldn't help yawning. Li Shimin was irritable, and when he heard this yawn, he immediately focused his eyes, Li Mu's yawn was halfway, his expression froze on his face, and he closed his mouth.

Li Shimin sent Ashina Simo away and turned his head to look at Li Mu.

"You get on your knees!"

Li Mu didn't even think about it, and knelt down. Those who know the times are Junjie, and when they rush to Li Shimin when he is angry and has no place to spread, he is looking for awkwardness, isn't that looking for death?

Li Shimin also knelt and turned to look at Li Mu, the posture of the two of them seemed to be worshipping heaven and earth.

Li Shimin gritted his teeth angrily, glared at Li Mu and said, "I asked you to solve the problem, did I let you make trouble for me?" Why don't you know so much? If I can kill him, will I keep him? The current situation is that he can't be killed, and if he is killed, where will the more than 50,000 Turkic people go? Kill him, people are panicked, how can the king of Huaihua still rule the Turkic tribes? People at the border are uncertain, when will the war end? Li Mu, I have high expectations for you, but why don't you grow! Why do you make a mistake again, you have to draw a knife at every turn, and you have to kill people at every turn! Are you a reckless man? ”

Li Mu didn't show any remorse, raised his chin, as if he had done something terrible, and said, "Your Majesty, I don't dare to agree with your remarks. The minister thinks that everything should follow the truth. If we ignore the fundamental truth for the sake of seeking temporary benefits, even if this thing is done, it will not last long. The minister doesn't know martial arts, and he doesn't like to kill, but he doesn't know what to do. The last time the minister drew a sword, it was because the dog Yushi insulted the minister's mother between words. The minister can't help but draw his sword, otherwise he will not be the son of man! ”

"It's the same with the Turkic barbarians offending the Emperor Taishang this time. The Emperor treats me like a relative, and I naturally respect the Emperor, which is filial piety. In addition, the minister is His Majesty's courtier, and the Emperor Taishang is His Majesty's father. Seeing that the Emperor Taishang was offended, as a courtier of His Majesty, if I don't stand up, I will be disloyal, unjust, unkind and unfilial! If the minister can endure it, the minister will be a disloyal, unrighteous, unkind and unfilial dog thief, and he will never be able to let His Majesty bear the notoriety of unfilial piety, so the minister-"

"Alright!" Li Shimin listened to the head and two big, interrupted Li Mu's words, and said: "You don't have to turn around and scold me, I understand the reason, but now the problem is in front of you, Tuli is already dead, if you kill Ashina Desire Valley and Ashina Association Rate again, Tuli's death has nothing to do with us." Hundreds of thousands of Turkic tribes will lose hope, and they will no longer have trust in the Tang Dynasty, and when the time comes, the fish will die and the net will be broken, although I am not afraid, but the killing that could have been avoided, why do I have to let it happen? Li Mu, do you still have a little mercy in your heart! ”

Li Mu scratched his head and didn't say anything. Li Shimin's statement is not unreasonable, the Turks are soldiers when they get on their horses, and they are people when they get off their horses. A woman in the prime of life can draw a bow and shoot arrows. Although the Turks are now newly defeated, the main defeat is Jieli, and the actual casualties are tens of thousands, and most of the Turks are still alive, but the cattle and sheep have been plundered by the Tang Dynasty and become poor. If they catch a dead net, it's a real problem.

Li Shimin sighed and begged bitterly. Li Yuan threw a teapot out and smashed it on the door.

"I knew that sooner or later, one day, you would look at me, an old immortal, unpleasant, you want to be famous, it's not easy to start, just find someone to kill me! Li Shimin, don't be so troublesome, you go to that knife, stab me, an old immortal, and then stab my granddaughter to death, so that we don't have to get in your way! ”

"Father, shame on the child, how can the child do this to you......"

Li Shimin glared at Li Mu, lowered his voice, and said, "You can't say a few words, you're just watching from the side?" When did I kneel until the head of the kneeling? Let no one laugh! ”

Li Mu cleared his throat and shouted, "Emperor Taishang, I am Li Mu." Your Majesty just said that I am sure to give you this bad breath. But now that the situation is compelling, we really can't kill them. But you can castrate them, what do you think? ”

Li Shimin's eyes were about to pop out: "Bastard, when did I say I was going to castrate them?" If you castrate them, it is better to kill them, and you need to be humiliated like this? ”

"Your Majesty, you can't kill it, you can't kill it, you can't castrate it, you don't mean it at all, you still want the Emperor Taishang to dissipate his anger? That's what you're doing, son? If I were the emperor, I wouldn't be angry! ”

"You are presumptuous!" Li Shimin raised his hand and gave Li Mu the back of his head, and scolded: "You dare to compare yourself to the emperor? ”

Li Mu rubbed the place where he was beaten, and shouted: "Your Majesty, aren't you looking for fault, the minister will talk about things." ”

"No, you can't castrate, you can think of another way!"

Before Li Mu could answer, the door suddenly opened. Li Yuan came out of the door, and Li Shimin hurriedly took the opportunity to say, "Father, are you angry?" ”

"It's not gone!"

"Father's ......"

"You don't have to beg me, I understand your difficulties." Li Yuan made a cold face and said, "It's just that I don't understand, Shimin, since you became the emperor, how can you seem to be a different person?" Where did your spirit go? ”

Li Yuan sighed, helped Li Shimin up, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "I still remember that when Jieli's army of 300,000 soldiers was in the city, Chang'an City was in danger. Your brother, the Manchu civil and military, and I are all discussing moving the capital to Luoyang. You are the only one who will defend the city and fight against the Turks. How high-spirited was the King of Qin at that time? But now you, sitting on the four seas, are timid, which really disappoints me! ”

Li Yuan said, looked at Li Mu, and said: "It's this kid, it's a little bit of your shadow back then...... Li Yuan sighed, waved his hand, and said: "That's it, I won't fight with you anymore." Don't kneel with me, go, do whatever you want, and don't tell me to know, go, I'm going to rest. ”

Li Yuan said that, returned to the house, and closed the door.

Li Shimin stood stunned, the door was closed, and he was still like this. Li Mu glanced at it and whispered, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is going to rest, aren't we ...... Let's go? ”

Li Shimin let out a long breath and turned around, Li Mu could see clearly, his eyes were slightly red.

Your Majesty has a temperament!

"Li Mu, do you think I am tired of the word 'Mingjun' and am afraid of it?"

"What is this...... Li Mu said cautiously: "It's not easy to say." ”

"I want you to say it!"

"Yes, sort of!"

"In your opinion, what should be done about this matter?"

"This ......" Li Mu didn't know how to answer, in fact, he didn't have a charter in his head, but he was too angry to see the Ashina brothers at that time, and the blood rush was not controlled for a while, and the wine jug was smashed out. The rest of the thing, roughly speaking, is that it's all done anyway, so it's better to do it to the end. When my head is hot, I don't think about it that much at all.

Li Shimin asked about this, and Li Mu really didn't know how to answer. After thinking for a while, he said, "The minister thinks that there is no need to be afraid of the Turks. It was we who destroyed them, and the initiative should be in your hands, Your Majesty. Thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en, they have no choice, look at their posture, it seems to be bargaining with us, who gave them the courage? ”

Li Shimin bowed his head slightly and said, "You are right...... Alas, I have not thought about it. I can't help but find a good candidate, I want to be loyal and want the means, there is no such person! I can only choose one or the other, and there is no problem with Ashnashima's loyalty. But he is straightforward, has no ambitions, and cannot afford to take on heavy responsibilities. I know him much better than you do, don't look at him as mighty, he can't convince the public. I want to keep the two Ashina brothers because I want them to support him. Now it's like this, I really have a headache. ”

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, what you are concerned about is nothing more than the clan of the two of them. The minister has an immature little suggestion, Your Majesty may wish to consider it. ”

"What advice?"

"Your Majesty, I heard that during the Warring States Period, protons would be sent between countries. If one of them violates the faith, he is to be beheaded. So the minister thought—"

Li Shimin frowned slightly and said, "You mean to keep the two of them as hostages?" ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "Your Majesty, do you think, now Ashina Simo is in charge of the remnants of Jieli, why is no one opposed?" It's not because Jieli is there, they know that if they rebel, Jieli will die. In order to survive, Jieli will not let them rebel. Leaving the two Ashina brothers in Chang'an, just like Jieli. The effect must be the same. If their tribe is reversed, they will be killed first, and the dragons will be leaderless, even if they are reversed, how much climate can they become? ”

Li Shimin pondered for a while, nodded slowly, and said, "This plan is not impossible, but I am afraid that it will damage the reputation of my Tang Heavenly Dynasty." ”

"What's so difficult about this," Li Mu said with a smile: "In other words, first throw them in the prison, find a few familiar jailers, give them a set of work, and let them write a letter of admiration and respect for Your Majesty, and ask for admission to the court guards, Your Majesty will agree again, will it be logical soon?" ”

When Li Shimin heard this, it was as if he had opened the door to a new world, looked at Li Mu with a smile, and said, "You can deal with this matter yourself, I don't know about it." ”

Li Mu also smiled: "The minister understands." ”
