Chapter 701

The familiar formula, the familiar taste, is still the same poison, which makes people unable to control themselves. Li Mu lay in the box and could hear Jin Chen's voice. She changed clothes, removed makeup, and said goodbye, but he couldn't move. All he could do was to circulate his inner breath and expel the toxins in his body faster. He looked at Bai Qiaoqiao's condition, saw that her breathing was long and he knew that Jin Chen was probably not the same poison as him, so he felt relieved. He knew that Jin Chen was thinking about him, and she also knew that the woman he loved the most was his wife. Jin Chen should not hurt Bai Qiaoqiao, but after all, she was pregnant, so she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Perhaps the dose of poison was relatively large this time. Li Mu tried it for a long time but failed to resume his actions. He couldn't help but feel anxious. This silly woman, don't really die for herself. This love can't be replaced!

...

Today is the day for Li Mu to execute his execution. Before the court, many people came early in the morning. The news that the emperor announced that he would kill Li Mu was not only an accident for the officials, but also an accident for the people. Especially for the people in Chang'an City, they had adapted to Li Shimin's unreasonable protection of Li Mu, as if Li Mu had done something extraordinary, and His Majesty the Emperor would forgive him. Moreover, from the bottom of his heart, they did not hate Li Mu. Although Li Mu acted strangely and eccentricly, he always bullied those noble nobles and clans. Instead, he was in a mess. When he was in a good mood or was in a mess, he would spread coins one by one. One out of ten people who had obtained his money in Chang'an City. How could the people hate such a "righteous and wealthy" person?

As Si is approaching, officials such as Dali Temple Minister, Dali Temple Shaoqing, Censorate, Ministry of Justice, Chang'an County, Wannian County, and Xiebing Court came to the court one after another. Some officials who had nothing to do with this matter also came. Whether Li Mu was a sensible figure, his ending was still something that many people care about.

Of course, there are also necessities. Among the many reforms of Li Mu, the most affected aristocratic families squeezed in. During these three days, they couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well. Finally, when it came to this time, as long as Li Mu died, everything would be restored to its original state. The Tang Dynasty was still their Tang Dynasty, and the Central Plains were still their Central Plains. No matter how the dynasties changed, the five surnames and seven sects would never change.

The execution time is at noon. According to the rules, the prisoners should have been waiting here for a long time, but because Li Shimin pardoned Li Mu for three days, a strange scene happened now, and everyone was waiting for the prisoners to arrive. The most worried thing was these aristocratic families, who were afraid that Li Shimin would go back on his word and released Li Mu privately. They knew Li Mu's ability. If they could not kill him this time, after a while, Li Shimin remembered his good intentions and allowed him to gain power again, he would definitely take revenge!

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

With a few low shouts, the crowd made way. Under the escort of two teams of guards, they walked alone. It was Li Mu who saw Li Mu's people, and their uneasy hearts finally gradually calmed down.

If everyone has arrived at the court, is there any reason for immortality?

Seeing Li Mu coming, Cheng Yaojin in the crowd beat his chest and stamped his feet: "I gave my life yesterday and asked my confidant to leave a hole for you, hoping that you can escape with a kid. You are so stubborn, you will leave!"

Qin Qiong grabbed him and said, "What do you think of, you thief? Isn't Li Mu a person who is greedy for life and fears death? He is always open and honest in his work, let alone His Majesty's killing him this time is really against morality. He is angry. If he escapes, wouldn't he ruin his reputation for life?"

"Pediatric!" Cheng Yaojin shook his hand and said angrily: "He is a child, and he is wise and wise. What is more important than anything else to be alive? Compared with those who have half buried in our land?"

"No! I can't stand it anymore. I want to go to ask Your Majesty for reason!" Cheng Yaojin left in a hurry. Qin Qiong hesitated for a moment, shouted and waited for me, and followed. Wang Jingze stood in the crowd, found a suitable angle, and looked at Li Mu fiercely. He wanted to tell Li Mu that he had done what Li Mu ordered according to his requirements, but now His Majesty is still indifferent and he has no choice. But he didn't know that Li Mu was no longer the real Li Mu at this time. Although Jin Chen saw someone constantly winking, she didn't know what it meant. In order to prevent the emergence of the situation, she simply staggered her eyes and did not look over.

Wang Jingze was stunned. He jumped up and down the past few days, and did what Li Mu told him. Now Li Mu was indifferent to his hints and couldn't help but be shocked. Did he receive the news not from Li Mu? Could it be that the person named Tang Guan who gave him the message was a spy sent by his opponent? What he did not do much, but instead harmed Li Mu?

Thinking of this, Wang Jingze couldn't help but sweat and couldn't stand firmly. He was in the middle of the anti-Li Mu camp, surrounded by Li Mu's opponents. The connections these days have made him a hero in this circle.

Although the Dali Temple Minister and the Ministry of Justice were all present today, Sun Fujia was the one who presided over the execution. He looked up at the sky. It was already half past the hour, and he couldn't help but feel anxious. Last night, Eunuch Gao went to his house in person and told him that the beheading today would not be executed until the last moment. It would rather miss the time than in advance, it would be better to have half a quarter of an hour in the evening. When he wanted to ask in detail, Eunuch Gao was unwilling to explain in detail.

According to the rules, Li Mu will have to behead him in less than an hour. This time is for him to bid farewell to his family and eat the dead food. Sun Fujia looked at Li Mu and saw that he pursed his lips and said to himself, "As long as this person is not afraid of death." Even if Li Mu, the Marquis of Zhulu, who is so able to speak, will be scared to death, and even if he is so sarcastic, he will be so scared that he will be so scared that he will be so scared that he will be so immersed in this way."

He gestured to the yamen runner beside him. The yamen runner brought a tray to Li Mu and said, "Mr. Marquis, this meal."

Li Mu smiled, interrupted the yamen runners, and signaled that he could leave. The yamen runners gave a gift, Li Mu sat cross-legged, poured wine and ate vegetables, without any panic. This kind of demeanor made others compare.

"Why haven't Your Majesty's will come yet?" Sun Fujia looked up at the sky and said to the followers beside him: "Go and guard at the door of the court. Once you see someone coming from the palace, you will shout."

The follower said in a daze: "Sir, what are you calling?"

Sun Fujia raised his hand and cursed, "What else can I call? Keep someone under the knife!"

...

Half an hour ago, the Duke of Ju State's Mansion.

Sun looked at Tang Jian who came out of the ancestral hall, and tears blurred his eyes. She held Tang Jian's hand and said, "Master, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for the Tang family. For my children, I."

Tang Jian handed the box in his arms to Tang Guan next to him, let him hold it, and reached out to hold Sun, and said with a smile: "Madam, what's the saying? Since you married me, you are my Tang Jian's wife. The husband and wife are one, prosper and both prosper and both lose. Besides, I have long been determined to retire. As for this iron coupon for avoiding death, you don't have to take it seriously. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. This iron coupon can only be avoided once. If future generations spend their families and businesses, they still cannot stop anything. If Li Mu's life can be saved, it will be considered useful."

Sun said in a touching voice: "Master, don't relax my heart. Even if you have this friendship with me, I will not be able to repay you in the next life."

"Then be my wife for generations, and repay it slowly." After Tang Jian said that, he turned around and took the brocade box from Tang Guan. Tang Guan wanted to go with him, but was stopped. Tang Jian got on the carriage, left the courtyard gate, and headed straight for the imperial city.

...

Tai Chi Palace.

In just three days, there were six large boxes of the illegal complaints that impeached Li Mu, all of which were poured out, enough to pile up a corner of the Tai Chi Palace and piled up into a hill. Next to the hill, there was a small box that was polite to Li Mu. The contrast between the two sides seemed so different. Li Shimin's attitude became more and more playful, with no expression on his face, and no one could guess what he was thinking.

Only Eunuch Gao could see a little, His Majesty was probably afraid.

The two piles of comments in front of you show not only the fate of Li Mu, but more importantly, the current comparison of the Tang Dynasty forces. Who were the ones who killed Li Mu? Aristocratic families and gentry, Li Mu has always been the sword of balancing all forces in Li Shimin. They wanted to take this opportunity to kill Li Mu's life, and were afraid that Li Mu would not die, so they submitted memorials one after another.

If these memorials were one or two boxes, Li Shimin would not care about them, but would only treat them as an example of Li Muqing's difficult writing, but with so many, the situation would be different.

The imperial power and the aristocratic family are in opposition, and the enemy's enemy is a friend. The aristocratic family's desire to get rid of Li Mu is enough to show how much threat Li Mu is to them. It is easy to kill Li Mu, but where can I find another Li Mu to balance this world?

The enemy is an ally, but what if the enemy is killed?

Cut off one arm?

Li Shimin had to think deeply about this matter.

Is it the disaster for Li Mu to be even greater, or the disaster for a family of families to be even greater!

"Let me go in!"

The voice of Empress Changsun came from outside the door. Li Shimin raised his head and Eunuch Gao hurried to the door: "Empress, Your Majesty said"

“Get out of here!”

"No," Eunuch Gao didn't want to stop him. When he heard the 'get out of his way', he obediently gave in. Empress Changsun rushed into the hall angrily. Seeing Li Shimin behind the table, he stretched out his hand and pointed: "Li Shimin, do you really want to do such a foolish act?"

"Queen, what are you talking about?" Li Shimin said in a daze: "You are my queen, do you think I am wrong?"

"Is Your Majesty correct?" Emperor Changsun later came to Li Shimin and said, "You are the emperor, and you are jealous of your ministers for a woman. Is that right?"

"I'm because of Li Mu"

"What do you have to do with Li Mu? The Wang family is already the wife of the Cui family. Even if Li Mu has any contact with her, being furious is still the Cui family's business. What do you have to do with you? Li Shimin, are you so stupid that you don't have to tell the right and wrong? When will you be awake? Do you want people all over the world to laugh at you and become a laughing stock? Do you still care about the face of being an emperor?!"

"This..." Li Shimin suddenly realized, yes, even if Wang Ou and Li Mu had an affair, what should they do with him in the eyes of the world? If he stood up, wouldn't it be equivalent to admitting that the emperor had an affair with a widow? If this falls into history books, it would be a template for a fool!

"Let's talk about Li Mu!" Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin's eyes and said word by word: "Did you really forget how much contribution he made to the Tang Dynasty and the country? Not to mention that far away, look at the palace in front of you, look at your food, clothing and expenses, how much restrained the palace was before Li Mu? Besides, his trip to the Western Regions not only solved the major problem of the Western Turks, but also asked the 36 countries in the Western Regions to send envoys to Chang'an to see you. This contribution is comparable to expanding territory. It would be fine if you don't reward him. First, he was jealous, but then he could not distinguish right from wrong and threw him into prison. Li Shimin, is this the emperor's demeanor?"

Li Shimin said nothing. He knew that Empress Changsun was right. In this matter, he did lose the reason and demeanor he should have because of Wang Ou. He did not expect that no matter what Wang Ou did, she was the daughter of the Wang family and the wife of Cui family, and had nothing to do with him, Li Shimin, and the royal family.

The ridiculous thing is here. He didn't even have the qualifications to be angry, but he took his anger on the heroes because of this. What can this be a fool?

"Poor Li Mu, in the prison, is still dealing with the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Works." Empress Changsun sighed: "Your Majesty, as a junior, as a minister, Li Mu has done his best to you. What did he do wrong? His love for Wang Ou has nothing to do with Your Majesty. He killed people in Gaochang for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, for His Majesty's Tang Dynasty!"

"But the auxiliary machine said"

"My brother?" Empress Changsun sneered and said, "Your Majesty, I have told Your Majesty that even my brothers, Your Majesty cannot believe it. If you are a person, you have your own selfishness and purpose. My brother is loyal to Your Majesty, but what he is even more loyal to is the Changsun family! Didn't Your Majesty think that his words may not be all sincere to Your Majesty?"

"You..." Looking at the wife in front of him who was talking bad about his brother, Li Shimin was stunned, and what followed was a deep emotion.

Since ancient times, the autocracy of foreign relatives has occurred frequently. The reason is that this foreign relative relies on the empress's majesty and the queen also wants to take care of the foreign relatives, which causes such things to happen. But his queen has always advocated suppressing the foreign relatives. How virtuous is this.

"But Li Muruo is really his son, have the queen ever thought that you and I will have fun in the future, this country?"
