Wei Zheng's eyes widened when he heard this, he didn't expect Li Mu to have this hand!

In fact, after Li Mu proposed the Zhenguan plow, the government and the opposition were very skeptical about the plough of Zhenguan, Wei Zheng was also one of them, and then Li Mu asked Yuwengui to use the Zhenguan plough to make a display, only to dispel the concerns of the courtiers, the effect of the Zhenguan plow, Wei Zheng was seen with his own eyes, if the Zhenguan plough is not used in various parts of Shandong, the loss can be imagined.

Wei Zheng said angrily: "Zhuluhou, how can you, how can you treat it so differently, you are a communiqué personal vendetta!" ”

Li Mu did not answer this question, but asked, "Zheng Guogong, do you know the allusion of Confucius asking for the salute to Lao Tzu?" ”

Wei Zheng was a little embarrassed, he didn't understand why Li Mu suddenly asked an irrelevant question, but if he didn't answer, as if he was shallow in knowledge, he still replied: "Of course I know." Confucius asked his disciple Nangong Jingshu and said: "Zhou Zhi guards the Tibetan room Shi Lao Dan, Bo Gu Tong Jin, knows the source of etiquette and music, and understands the key to morality. Now I want to go to Zhou to seek advice, are you willing to go with you? Uncle Nangong Jing readily agreed, and then the two of them asked the monarch of Lu State. With the approval of the monarch. Dispatch a two-horse carriage, a scholar, and a coachman, and Uncle Nangong Jing accompanied Confucius to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to learn from Lao Tzu. I'm talking about the Zhenguan plow, what are you asking for? ”

"According to you, Lao Tzu taught Confucius?

Confucius is already a sage, not to be judged easily, Wei Zheng didn't know what Li Mu's idea was, thought about it seriously, and then said: "It's just a salute, not a master-apprentice." ”

Li Mu smiled and said, "Then do you know why Lao Tzu is willing to teach Confucius?" ”

Wei Zheng faintly sensed that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he replied more cautiously, and said: "There is no record in the ancient books, I don't know." ”

"I know!" Li Mu couldn't hold back anymore and said, "Lao Tzu is willing to teach Confucius, of course, because Lao Tzu is willing. Let me ask you again, why doesn't Lao Tzu teach others? ”

Wei Zheng had already heard the meaning, and his stinky face was silent.

Li Mu laughed: "Without him, because Lao Tzu is not happy!" ”

"I invented the thing, the secret method is mine, I can give it to whoever I want, I just see that the Shandong Shi clan is not pleasing to the eye, so I won't give it, can't I?"

Wei Zheng was so angry that his eyes went straight to Venus, he took a deep breath, and saluted Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, did you hear that?" If the minister remembers correctly, the Marquis of Zhulu once said that he would dedicate it to the imperial court, so that the people could farm. But now, the Marquis of Zhulu actually disregarded the life and death of the people, and Zhenguan Plough was also used as a threat. Your Majesty! The Marquis of Zhulu keeps saying that he is for the country and the people, but he only has nothing to show for it, and such a selfish person asks His Majesty to be aware of it. ”

Li Shimin was also a little displeased, Li Mu asked for money, he could understand, after all, it was real money and silver that was put in, but now Li Mu didn't even use the Zhenguan plow, although he only treated the Shandong Shi clan differently, but Li Shimin was still a little uncomfortable in his heart. Just as he was about to ask, he heard Li Mu say: "What a moral kidnapping!" But it's useless, I don't eat this set! ”

"Your Majesty, Rong Chen explained. The minister has reported to His Majesty before, the ploughshare of the Zhenguan plough requires a special forging method, if the Zhenguan plough is manufactured in large quantities, there are only two ways, one is the Ministry of Industry to set up a factory, the minister mentioned in the note the day before yesterday, if Your Majesty forgets it, you can take a look at it. This factory is still in its infancy, and it will not be able to borrow power for a while. Even if it is established, it will not be able to supply the whole country. The second is that there are ministers who personally teach the method of forging, but Your Majesty must understand that if this secret method is taught, it cannot be kept secret. Now the Shandong scholars regard their ministers as thorns in their eyes, and their hearts are small, and they can't repay their grievances with virtue. Moreover, the minister has long heard that the favorite thing of the Shandong scholars is to annex the land of the people, and the minister passes on the secret method to them, and the people do not get much benefit, so the minister does not pass it on, that is, he does not pass it on, and he does not say anything! After a pause, he added, "Unless ......"

When Wei Zheng heard that there was still a living mouth, he hurriedly said, "Unless what?" ”

Li Mu raised his chin, his face was full of arrogance, and said: "Unless those Shandong Confucians and students who scolded me yesterday, as well as you, Zheng Guogong, knelt in front of me and kowtowed three times, shouting that Hou Hou is magnanimous, we are all villains, wronged Hou Ye, Hou Ye is merciful, teach us the secret method." Set up a high platform at the gate of the imperial city, kowtow three times, shout three times, I am in a good mood, maybe I can agree! ”

Wei Zheng was so angry that the three corpse gods jumped violently, and said angrily: "Huangkou Xiaoer! You are delusional! ”

"Oops! You still dare to scold me, you old dog, a group of you people scolded me, and you still want my secret method, what's the matter, why don't you change it? So brazen, may I ask which saint's knowledge? I really want to learn! I just asked you to apologize to me, and after I apologized, I will still teach you the secret method, after all, who doesn't know that I, Li Mu, think about the people the most? Now instead of apologizing, you're insulting me again, okay! Secret method, absolutely not give! All the consequences are up to you, and I Li Mu have nothing to do with it, who made you look at your face more important than the lives of the people?! ”

"You, you ......" Wei Zheng's face was so angry that his face was red and white, and he was speechless when he pointed at Li Mu, Li Mu glanced at him and said, "What are you pointing at me?" Angry? It's really not good, you send a few fine works to my house to steal, my house is defenseless, maybe it can succeed or not, steal it and use it shamelessly, I don't mind, anyway, whoever steals is shameless. ”

"You!"

"Okay, I can't say a few words, if I vomit blood and die again, it will depend on me."

Wei Zhengqiang endured the blood that was about to spurt out of his chest, gritted his teeth and said: "If you don't give it, you won't give it, there was no Zhenguan plough before, and the people of Shandong didn't starve to death, and the incorruptible people are not allowed to eat." Zhuluhou, you don't need to beat you with words, we don't need to! ”

"Hey, that's right, don't think that only you can use the agitation method. I read the history books, the Three Kingdoms that I read first, the part where Zhuge Kongming was angry with Wang Lang, I was like a stream, I used it freely, I had nothing to provoke me, and I was angry and didn't pay for my life! ”

Wei Zheng knew that he couldn't say it, so he simply closed his eyes and ignored it. Li Mu glanced at him, and seeing that Li Shimin's eyes were not good, he quickly became honest and said, "Your Majesty, the boy Meng Lang, please forgive your Majesty." ”

"Humph!" Li Shimin glared at him fiercely and said, "I left you behind, not just for this kid's business. There is another important thing I want to tell you Aiqing. ”

Seeing that everyone's eyes were gathered, Li Shimin said: "Du Xiang's body is no longer done. Du Xiang has repeatedly written to ask me to remove him from the position of Shangshu's right servant, I remember his merits in my heart, and I have not responded, but now the country's major events are repeated, and next year there will be a imperial examination, and the position of Shangshu's right servant is vacant, and only Fang Xiang is left, and he is indeed stretched, and now I have made a decision. ”

Everyone was in high spirits, and it seemed that Datang was about to have a new prime minister.

"Li Jing."

"Your Majesty."

"The former Sui general Shi Wansui defeated the Datou Khan, but the Sui Dynasty did not reward him, so he was destroyed. I won't do that, there must be clear rewards and punishments. I have already punished you for the crime of not being able to govern the army, but I have not yet given you the corresponding expression for your victory over the Turks and the destruction of the country. I want to worship you now and shoot for Shangshu's right servant, what does Aiqing think? ”

Li Jing was stunned when he heard this, and everyone else was a little stunned, Shangshu's right servant shot this position, and the rumors he heard before were all Wei Zheng, and now Wei Zheng has made a lot of trouble, and everyone knows in their hearts that I am afraid that he is going to hang, but after thinking about it, no one thought of Li Jing.

Li Jing himself didn't expect it, so he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is a military general, and his knowledge is shallow, how can he bear the heavy responsibility of governing the country, and please take back your life!" ”

"Aiqing's character and knowledge, I know it in my heart. I want to use Aiqing as the prime minister, isn't Aiqing willing to assist me? ”

"This ......" When it came to this, Li Jing couldn't refuse, so he had to bow again, and said, "The minister can only do his best." ”

"Very good." Li Shimin helped Li Jing up and said: "I have ordered the Qin Tianjian to choose a good time to prepare for the ceremony, and the matter of worshipping the prime minister must not be sloppy, and Aiqing can wait for the will." ”

Li Jingnuo said yes, and Li Shimin said: "Li Jing's promotion to the right servant of Shangshu is shooting, and the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of War is vacant, and I have decided to appoint Hou Junji to take over." In addition, the prince is getting older and needs an elder who I can trust and rely on to control, and I plan to let Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song, serve as the prince's young master and educate the prince. The position of Imperial Doctor is ......" Li Shimin glanced at Wei Zheng and said, "Wei Aiqing will take over." ”

Let Wei Zheng be the imperial doctor?

I thought it was enough to let Li Jing shoot as Shangshu's right servant, but I didn't expect that there would be a bigger accident. Everyone was shocked, what's wrong with Your Majesty, looking for trouble for yourself?

Wei Zheng didn't expect it, and hurriedly saluted: "Your Majesty is as open-minded as the sea, and you admire it to the fullest." ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Could it be that I am a person with a small belly and chicken intestines in the hearts of Qing and others?" Wei Zheng, although you have repeatedly contradicted me and have disrespectful words, I still allow you to be in the court, and I will reuse you. If you dare to speak out, there are few people like you around me. The Imperial Historical Observatory is suitable for you to perform, and when you encounter things in the future, you will also think about it for me, and I will treat you well. ”

Wei Zheng finally showed a look of shame and said, "Your Majesty, the minister must read more history and study the way of being a minister." ”

"Okay, I remember that." Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Today, the court has quarreled for a long time, and I have quarreled in this Taiji Hall for another half a day, and it has finally come to an end, and it can be quiet and quiet." I'm tired, all Aiqing, take care of yourself. ”

"The ministers are leaving."

Everyone retreated, Li Mu also walked out, and as soon as he took a step, he was pulled by Gao Gonggong's clothes, and Li Mu took back the leg that he had stepped out of.

Li Mu returned to the hall, Gao Gong closed the door of the palace, Li Shimin stared at Li Mu with a calm face and unkind eyes, and suddenly patted the case, which frightened Li Mu and shrank his neck.

"Li Mu, what Wei Zheng just said is right, how can you let the people of Shandong suffer on your behalf because of your personal grudges, why are the people innocent? Also, you even asked me for money, are you going to make a deal with me?! ”
