Chapter 29: The Power of Chivalry
In the end, Cheng Yanjin only taught Liu Donglou a lesson and ended the battle, after all, Li Shimin also spoke. The small ones lose and the old ones lose, and even if they win, they can't win. What's more, people are still Mo Shuyu's life-saving benefactor, if you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, you have to give Mo Shuyu a face.
"Mitutoyo, do you know who did the attack?" Li Shimin didn't pay attention to the two of them, and took Mo Shuyu's hand and asked for warmth.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion, it must be a scholar clan, yesterday Liu Daxia rescued me and captured the head of the Taiyuan royal family, which is the recipe he wants for high wine." Mo Shuyu remembered that a group of people seemed to have been arrested yesterday, so he wanted to take Li Shimin to the backyard for interrogation.
"Hmph, Taiyuan Wang? Before I can make a move, they want to hurt my arm first? "Li Shimin's first reaction when he heard that Mo Shuyu was attacked was that the Shi clan had made a move, but he didn't expect to ask Mo Shuyu if he was really a Shi clan." is really a good citizen of me, for his own interests, he did not hesitate to murder the officials of this dynasty. ”
"Your Majesty, I still saw the leader who attacked me yesterday, right? What if someone has ulterior motives? "Mo Shuyu is not sure that the leader must be from the Wang family, there is no peace in Datang, maybe someone wants to provoke a civil war in Datang.
"Well, anyway, now is the time to do something about them." Li Shimin had long wanted to find an excuse to rectify the Shi clan.
"Protect Your Majesty, there is a murderous aura." A guard beside Li Shimin suddenly jumped in front of Li Shimin and looked around vigilantly.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the backyard where Wang Youxue was imprisoned, and the guards drew their bows and shot, only to see that the man was holding Wang Youxue in his left hand, and waved his sword in his right hand several times, and all the arrows shot by the guards were blocked. The figure glanced at Mo Shuyu, flew up and ran out of the wall.
"Chase" Li Shimin said, and several guards behind him also flew up and chased after him. "Alas, after all, there are not enough people in your house, and even the guards can be robbed." Mo Shuyu followed Li Shimin into the backyard where Wang Youxue was being held, only to see corpses all over the ground, stumps and broken arms everywhere. Not only did that man kill several of the family members who guarded Wang Youxue, but even the black-clothed people who were arrested together did not survive.
"Gross... This man is so vicious? Don't even let go of your own people? Mo Shuyu couldn't figure out why that person would kill his own people.
"Hmph, I'm sure this person is a member of the Shi clan now, otherwise there would be no such master in that force. Moreover, dozens of dead soldiers will give up when they say they will give up, and only the scholars will have such courage. Li Shimin looked at the corpses around him, walked to the door of several rooms where the dead soldiers were held, and looked at them, and found that these dead soldiers actually committed suicide by taking poison.
"For the sake of their own interests, dozens of lives are gone?" As a person in the 21st century, Mo Shuyu really can't accept the fact that he will kill dozens of people in one breath for profit.
"For the sake of profit, not to mention dozens of lives, they will not blink an eye even if they kill tens of thousands of people." Li Shimin took Mo Shuyu out after looking around, and ordered someone to clean up the scene.
"Is that Liu Donglou really credible? How do I feel that this man is of unknown origin? First, the Wang family attacked you, and I happened to meet him and saved you. If it weren't for his move with Zhijie who was silently messing with him today, I wouldn't have stayed here. That person doesn't necessarily have to run away. Li Shimin sat in Mo Shuyu's study, covering his head, and couldn't figure out who Liu Donglou was.
"Your Majesty, maybe it's a coincidence? Brother Chu Mo has been talking to Liu Daxia for a long time, and he kicked Brother Chu Mo out when His Majesty arrived. That's how it happened. Mo Shuyu couldn't figure out why Wang Youxue had to save him if Liu Donglou was on the same side as Wang Youxue at that time. Mo Shuyu is not the kind of person who will take revenge, at this time Li Shimin suspected Liu Donglou, and Mo Shuyu naturally helped Liu Donglou defend him.
"You kid usually looks very smart, why are you so confused at this time? How can such a thing be explained by coincidence? This Liu Donglou always felt that something was wrong there. Anyway, you should pay more attention. Since he saved you, he must have no ill will towards you. Li Shimin couldn't figure out who Liu Donglou was, but since he would save Mo Shuyu at a critical moment, he shouldn't harm him, so he reminded Mo Shuyu well, and got up and planned to go back to the palace.
"Your Majesty, the kid has one more thing to ask for." Mo Shuyu remembered the way he had just watched Liu Donglou avoid Cheng Chumo, and remembered something.
"Oh? What are you kid trying to do? Li Shimin stopped when he heard this, and turned to look at Mo Shuyu. Every time Mo Shuyu said that he had something to discuss with him, it was basically a good thing.
"Your Majesty, the kid suddenly has a method, whether it is for the scholar clan or for foreign enemies, it is a killer method."
"Let's take a look at it and see what you kid has to offer." As soon as Li Shimin heard Mo Shuyu's words, he returned to the desk and sat down, waiting for Mo Shuyu to speak.
"Your Majesty, since ancient times, Confucianism has been chaotic with literature, and chivalry has been forbidden with force. They are all serious troubles in the hearts of the courtiers, but they cannot be punished, and the punishment is inexhaustible. What is a knight? A chivalrous man is a person who walks the end of the world and avenges the injustices of the people of the world. Since the laws of the Tang Dynasty can't restrain it, why not indulge it? Mo Shuyu said what was in his heart. Unexpectedly, Li Shimin looked at him with wide eyes.
"Nonsense, my world is closed but not prosperous, theft and thieves are not done, so the outside door is not closed. Why do I need a knight to help me govern the country? Li Shimin didn't understand what Mo Shuyu meant, and slapped the table and got up.
"Your Majesty is angry, listen to the boy. The kid means that the reason why the knights are forbidden by force is because there are too many injustices in the world. Since this is the case, then we will give the knights a role, once there is an organization, the power of the knights should not be underestimated. In times of war, we can gather knights to assassinate the leaders and generals of the enemy country. When there is no war, the knights are all over the world, one can speak for the people, and the other is that the knights are extremely well-informed, but at the moment, they can collect intelligence for us. The three ones are also a sharp weapon against the scholars. Mo Shuyu finished talking about his plan in one breath, picked up the teapot on the desk, poured a large glass of water and drank it, and looked at Li Shimin.
"Can a knight be like this? If you take it seriously, chivalry is indeed a force to be reckoned with, what do you do? Li Shimin listened to Mo Shuyu's words, frowned and thought for a while. Can a knight still deal with the warriors? “
The power of the Shi clan was deeply rooted in the Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin couldn't figure out how to use chivalry to deal with the Shi clan.
"Your Majesty, what does the scholar clan rely on to establish the world? Relying on the many doormen and the prestige among the people, what do chivalrous people have? The martial arts and the people's favor towards it, if the knights spread the dirty things of the Shi clan, do you say it will be a big blow to the Shi clan? Mo Shuyu was still thinking about how to gather the knights of the world together, so he didn't answer Li Shimin.
