Chapter 137 Censor Impeachment
Li Mu thought for a long time, but couldn't think of any words of comfort, so he said, "The Supreme Emperor, the dead are gone, and your worries today are useless. Now Your Majesty has proved that he will be a good emperor. Perhaps in the dark, this is the choice made by God and the choice made for the people. How can a person's will fight against God? The Supreme Emperor, I don't think you have to feel guilty about what happened back then. Both sons are excellent, and as fathers, it's hard to make a choice. Their brothers are tragic and are unfilial. You are now at this age, why not let go of it? How happy will you come to your life? Isn't it beautiful?"
Li Yuan remained silent for a long time and said, "You are right!"
"I was seven years old in my life. Because Emperor Wen Dugu was my aunt, I was loved by Emperor Wen, and was well-behaved in Qianniu, the governor of Qiao, Long and Qi. I had no honor and favor. Emperor Yang ascended the throne and wanted to attack Goguryeo, but he tried to persuade him but refused to listen. The people complained, and the world fell apart. So I had the ambition to save the people and save the people. The army rose to Jinyang and competed for the world. It took only five years to pacify the world, which was considered a wish to get it."
"Now that I am old, Jiangshan has also entrusted him to a reliable son, and there is nothing to worry about. How can I be happy for the rest of my life?"
Li Yuan smiled and said to Li Mu: "Hurry up and build the heaven and earth. When it is built, I will move there to live there. I have lived in this deep palace forbidden courtyard."
Li Mu quickly agreed.
Li Yuan thought for a while and said, "I have never done business and don't know the rules. Is it hard to call me a businessman?"
"Uh..." Li Muxin said this was not nonsense, but he still replied: "Buying and trading is about making good fortune and making equal transactions. It is naturally not possible for the Supreme Emperor to do business, so he discussed giving a pseudonym. Haven't you already named Li Ka-shing?"
"Yes, yes, I have given a name, Longxi Li family, Jiacheng Duke..." Li Yuan suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "I have decided that when I move to heaven and earth, I will no longer call me, so as not to reveal my strength."
Li Mu thought to himself, he didn't expect that the Supreme Emperor was still a role-playing enthusiast, but he just didn't know how long this newness could last.
"How long will it take to complete? I'm afraid you don't know if you're confined to the rest of the day?"
"I am clear about the words of the Supreme Emperor. The head of the supervisor comes to report to me every day. According to the current progress, the construction will be almost completed by the end of the month. However, if the Supreme Emperor wants to move in, he needs to build a villa so that the people who serve can live there. The place is enough, but the construction period may be extended."
Li Yuan frowned slightly and said, "Except for the palace servants who have followed me for many years, I plan to give them some money and send them out of the palace. There shouldn't be many people, more than ten, so can't they stay there?"
"This is OK, but the other courtyard still needs to be repaired. After all, these people do not match your identity with the Supreme Emperor, and it is not appropriate to live in the same place." Li Mu had already seen that Li Yuan was in a hurry to open the business and said, "You can repair it slowly, and it will not affect the opening."
"That's good," Li Yuan said very happy, "When you leave tomorrow, if I don't wake up, you will get money from Eunuch Chen, and I will melt a lot of gold tools. You can use it for use. The rest will be replaced with copper coins, so it will be convenient for you to do business in the future."
"I obey the order."
What I wanted to talk seemed to have finished, and suddenly fell into a subtle embarrassment. After a long time, Li Mu sneezed and said, "Grand Emperor, should we go down? The frost is cold and dew is heavy, I am afraid that you will suffer from the wind and cold."
Li Yuan sneered and said, "You are afraid that you will suffer from the cold. I wear thick clothes, so I am not afraid. If you can't stand it, call me."
Li Mu laughed and said, "What is my identity? I dare not call the Tai Chi Palace's palace servants. You should call me."
"I give you the palace servants who can call Tai Chi Palace, stop talking nonsense. If you come and call people, I can't afford to lose this face!"
Isn't that true? Li Mu had no choice but to let him be the emperor? He cleared his throat and pulled his neck and shouted: "Oh, my husband's ankle sprained, come and help me..."
The next day, above the court.
"My minister Jiang Daoyuan told Zhulu Hou that Li Mu, the doctor of the Ministry of Works, was a private use of public instruments, and recruited craftsmen from the Ministry of Personnel to seek personal gain and build high-rise buildings for the wealthy people in Longxi. Please ask your Majesty to judge!"
"My minister, Sun Wenben, told Zhulu Hou, the doctor of the Ministry of Works, Li Mu, a private winery, to compete for profit with the people. Please ask your Majesty to judge!"
"My minister Chen Danqiu told the Marquis of Zhulu, Li Mu, the doctor of the Ministry of Works, despises culture and education, despises the scholars of the world, and collides with the Imperial College. Kong Yingda, the descendant of Confucius, caused Confucius to faint and lie in bed, and he did not get up for several days. Please give him the sage!"
"My minister Zhao Qing, told the Marquis of Zhulu, Li Mu, the doctor of the Ministry of Works, gathered people to cause trouble and abused lynching. Please ask Your Majesty to judge..."
Obviously, Li Yuan's words completely angered the aristocratic families.
Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji looked at each other and saw an accident in each other's eyes. Yesterday, both of them expected someone to impeach Li Mu, but they did not expect that the impeachment would be so intense. One censor, two censors, one Imperial College Chief, and four people impeached a minister at the same time. It has been rare since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
From this we can also see the influence of the aristocratic families in the court. Li Mu whipped Cui Yuyan that day. If the incident had not happened suddenly, and Li Shimin was decisive in handling it, he would have ended the incident with a quick knife and delayed it for a few days. It is unknown what the result would have been.
The censor impeached him, but Li Shimin could not sit idly by. He ordered someone to go to Xuan Li Mu to the palace. Li Mu was hungover last night and just woke up and had breakfast with Li Yuan. He was snoring and drinking porridge, but he was dragged away by Eunuch Gao. Li Yuan knew it well, and just took a look and continued to drink porridge. He seemed to be not worried about Li Mu being able to deal with this crisis.
This is the first time Li Mu has participated in a court meeting since he was granted the title. His past money was not spent in vain. Along the way, Eunuch Gao briefly said what happened, so as to avoid suddenly being at a loss when he went to the palace.
Li Mu stood on the hall, with civil and military officials standing on both sides. He glanced at the four people standing in front of him, saluted Li Shimin, and said, "I, Li Mu, Marquis of Zhulu, please see Your Majesty. I don't know if your Majesty calls me to come, what should I ask for inquiries."
Li Shimin pointed to the four people in front of him and said, "Li Mu, four people are impeaching you now. As the saying goes, if you listen to both sides, you will be clear, and if you believe in others, you will be secret. I cannot listen to their words on one side. I call you here in order to confront you in the face. I will give you a chance to argue in court today. I put the words in front of you. Whether you are guilty or not today depends on how both parties can distinguish. If you succeed in defending yourself, it is them who falsely accused them. I will punish them. If you fail to defend yourself, I will punish your crime. My dear friends are all testimony."
