Chapter 997

(Don't subscribe, watch it tomorrow morning).

This thought just moved and passed through Li Mu's mind.

No one is ruthless? Li Mu and Li Chengqian had dated, and Li Chengqian respected him very much. Li Zhi was still a child in his arms, but he had no friendship with him. As for what Li Shimin said, Li Mu would not agree to the matter of a child marriage. If the two children were destined to be together in the future, he would not stop him, but it would be impossible for him to make this happen.

So from his personal emotions, he still supports Li Chengqian. Although Li Tai is his disciple, Li Tai obviously has no intention of competing for the crown now. He can't tease him, right?

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I can't guarantee that I can do it, but I will try my best to do it... After all, this involves the face of the prince. Please pretend that he doesn't know and leave some room for the prince."

Li Shimin sighed: "It is not a big problem to raise a few actors. If it were other princes and princes, I would not care about them. But Cheng Qian is the crown prince after all, and I can't ignore it. Looking at history books, how could there be an emperor who likes to be great? I am afraid that he will ruin his country."

"Chengqian is still young after all, and has never experienced love affairs. It is understandable that there are occasional mistakes. Please rest assured that you must do your best to pull Chengqian back from the wrong path."

Li Shimin sighed again and said, "This is the best," he paused, and murmured again, "It's really not worry-free. The queen doesn't know about this. Don't let it go. If the queen knows it, you have to be anxious to get angry."

"I still have this measure."

Li Shimin described it as a bit desolate, but Li Mu could understand it. Not to mention the royal family, it was even an open society in later generations, and it was a headache to encounter such a thing. It is also said that whether it is emotional or not, who has a son who doesn’t want to pass on the family line?

Seeing that Li Shimin had no intention of talking about nature, Li Mu said goodbye and left. Li Shimin specially sent the imperial imperial edict to carry Li Mu out. The various departments on duty in the imperial city saw it and were envious. In just a few years, Li Mu went from an unknown boy to the indisputable number one person in the Tang Dynasty today. The experience along the way was a miracle.

Changsun Wuji stood in front of the window and looked at Li Mu from afar, feeling very complicated.

After Li Shimin formed his own secretary cabinet, Changsun Wuji never went to the palace to help Li Shimin read the memorial. He was a smart person and knew what this meant. As the saying goes, those who know the current affairs are heroes, and Changsun Wuji was obviously a hero. No matter how unwilling he was in his heart, he understood that at this moment, he had no choice but to avoid it.

Li Shimin's trust in Li Mu has reached an unparalleled level. Just as he chose to support Li Shimin in launching the Xuanwu Sect Incident, and Li Shimin trusted him after ascending the throne. At this time, no one can listen to anything he says.

After understanding this truth, Changsun Wuji chose to compromise. He could only endure it until the opportunity came. Fortunately, he had the status of a national uncle. If he did not provoke Li Mu on his own initiative, there would definitely be no problem in protecting himself.

Moreover, Li Mu never showed off his aggressiveness to him. Perhaps, Changsun Wuji also understood that in Li Mu's eyes, he did not take him seriously at all.

A bitter smile rose from the corner of his mouth, and Changsun Wuji sighed.

At this point, he himself doesn't know how to win.

Then, he took out a leather bag, Dugu Jiu leaned over and saw Li Mu taking out a handful of small lead from it. The leads were of different shapes and had sharp edges and corners. After being ejected, they could scrape people's skin. Lead is a heavy metal. After the scratch, the wound will not heal easily, and in severe cases it will also cause sepsis. Of course, if you don't want to kill yourself, you can also replace it with iron or even stones, which should not exceed the weight.

On this layer of small lead bullets, Li Mu used a large lead bullet or large rock bullet that was slightly smaller than the muzzle, and the link to fill the bullet was completed.

"Look the cannon!"

With Li Mu's shout, Dugu Jiu lit the twist, and then he imitated Li Mu and covered his ears.

With a bang, the bullets all flew out, and the sound of thunder was like thunder. The distance in front of him was scattered out with awls. The farthest distance reached more than one hundred feet, which was more than the bow and arrow.

Dugu Jiu looked at the scene in front of him in shock and calculated in his mind whether he could escape the birth of the sky if he was in this awl-type range. In the end, his conclusion was that it was impossible. Even if the lead bullets scattered out of this awl-type range could not take his life, they would definitely be able to hurt him. Fighting his life on the battlefield, and being injured means being sharply reduced in combat power. If the two armies fired this gun in front of the formation, no matter how brave the cavalry was, they would only be destined to be defeated.

"Brother, with this powerful weapon, the Tang Dynasty's soldiers are invincible!" Dugu Jiu said excitedly, but when he saw Li Mu's expression, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Brother, don't you want to present this thing to Your Majesty?"

After checking the cannon barrel, Li Mu said to Dugu Jiu: "Xiaojiu, I'll ask you, what would Your Majesty do if I presented this thing to Your Majesty?"

"This..." Dugu Jiu thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty should immediately conquer Goguryeo. After all, after having this thing, it is almost a foregone conclusion to win this battle."

"What then?" Li Mu looked at Dugu Jiu and said, "After attacking Goguryeo, will Your Majesty stop the army and quit?"

"Will..." Dugu Jiu's tone became less certain.

Is Li Shimin a good emperor? Whether in the history that Li Mu is familiar with or in the history that has happened now, except for the Xuanwu Gate incident that is a stain in Li Shimin's life, the rest of the things are all revealed that Li Shimin is a good emperor.

When he was young, he fought in the world and won every battle. He was named General Tiance. After becoming the emperor, he worked all night long, and was very particular, respected the wise and the nobles. The Tang Dynasty was flourishing in his hands, and the lives of the people were getting better and better. He was as broad as the sea of ​​mind, able to accommodate Wei Zheng and Wang Gui, who had previously opposed him, only talented people, willing to enroll the imperial examinations, and use the wise talents in the world for the court. Compared with any emperor in history, Li Shimin could praise him as a wise man.

But do wise people have no shortcomings? Li Shimin naturally has shortcomings. His shortcomings are that he cares too much about his reputation, wants to expand territory, and wants to accomplish things that his predecessors have not completed. He wants to use this method to prove that he is worthy of the position of emperor.

If this weapon of killing is in the hands of Li Shimin, all the hidden dangers that Li Shimin believes will definitely be attacked. The Tang Dynasty's soldiers are invincible... But is this necessarily a good thing?

When fighting, it is not just a killing weapon. The soldiers, horses, food and grass are all consumed. However, once the war machine starts, it will be involuntarily. It is easy to start, but it is not that easy to stop.

Human desires will gradually grow, and the distance between stupidity and wiseness is often just a thought.

Dugu Jiu stopped talking, Li Mu smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "There can be a killing weapon, but it doesn't have to be used. I don't want the Tang Dynasty to become a killing nation. I hope that the surrounding nations admire the culture of the Tang Dynasty and actively integrate. Conquest is always just a bad strategy, and no dynasty or country can always be strong. But with this thing, we can protect us. It is impossible for Xue Yantuo and others to cause trouble to the Tang Dynasty!"

Dugu Jiu nodded. Although he didn't understand it very well, he believed that Li Mu's judgment would not be wrong.

The two brothers packed up and when they returned to Guyuan, it was already late. Li Mu originally wanted to wash up and rest, but the concierge came to report that someone had been waiting here for an afternoon.

It’s really not common for people to wait for an afternoon. It’s not that he’s apart, but Li Mu has a bad temper, and everyone knows it. If you stay at the door, you think you can see him. It’s basically a fantasy, so few people are bored.

The test shot was successful today, and Li Mu was in a good mood. He took advantage of the time of washing his feet and asked the doorman to call the person over to see who it was and what was going on.

When the person came, Li Mu did not raise his head and continued to wash his feet, saying, "Before I wash my feet, I'll say anything. You don't have much time, so I'll pick up important ones."

"The villain Wang Tong is a doctor!"

"Um,"

Li Mu said 'um' and said, "If you have something to do, say it!"

"Mr. Marquis, the villain came to visit the Marquis to warn him. If the villain expected it was not bad, within half a month, a plague would be rampant in Zheng County. The 20,000 soldiers stationed outside the Mingzhou Port will not escape the bad luck!"

"Huh?" Li Mu paused his movements and finally looked up. The person in front of him was about five feet tall, with a short beard, and his eyes were embarrassed, but there was nothing special about it except his eyes. He didn't look like a liar or a clever man.

After Li Mu looked at it, he said, "Your name is Wang Tong, and you are from the Wang family of Langya?"

Wang Tong was also quick-witted, and heard Li Mu's implicit voice, and hurriedly said, "The villain came to warn him, it has nothing to do with the family. If he saw the problem, he should not be regarded as not seeing it. After all, this incident involves tens of thousands of people. Moreover, once the plague spreads, I don't know what kind of catastrophe will be encountered in the Jiangnan county, so I reminded me that if the marquis doesn't believe it, the villain will take his leave..."

"Slow down!" Li Mu wiped his feet, pointed to the seat next to him, and said, "If it makes sense, I will forgive you for your guilt and I will reward you. But if you can't justify yourself, I will punish you, and it will be useless for anyone to plead with love."

Wang Tong sat down, leaned forward, and only put a side on his side, saying to Li Mu: "Mr. Marquis, although the villain came from the Wang family of Langya, he was not from the family, so he had no ancestral family. His ancestors had been practicing medicine for three generations. Recently, the villain practiced medicine in Zheng County and found many cases. The patient had cough, chest pain, blood in the sputum, accompanied by symptoms such as fever and dysentery. The villain knew that he had a big belly disease."

"Big belly disease is not uncommon in Jiangnan. It is often found. When the disease is mild, it is not difficult to treat. There are prescriptions, which are roughly divided into five categories: insect killing, vomiting, stasis, water, and correction. Even if the locals do not use doctors, they have earth prescriptions passed down by their own families. They are almost undead, but if they are not noticed in the early stage or are misdiagnosed, and in the late stage of the disease, their stomachs will become edema and bloated, it will be difficult for the gods to save them."

"What attracted the attention of the villain this time was that this disease was not an occasional case, but in a village, there were four or five families. The villain had not experienced it personally, but according to the records of the villain's father, when Emperor Yang of Sui visited Jiangdu, he brought 100,000 craftsmen. This disease broke out among these 100,000 craftsmen, and tens of thousands of people died of illness."

"The villain thought that the large-scale outbreak of this disease should be related to the discomfort of the water and the unclean water source. So the villain thought of 20,000 soldiers from Mingzhou and 30,000 Turkic households who migrated there. The villain visited the resettlement village and did not find the outbreak of this disease. However, when he went to the camp in the county, he heard about the situation of the soldiers in the camp looking for diagnosis. Many soldiers had diarrhea and dysentery, and the number of people expanded from dozens to hundreds... If this continues, once the epidemic breaks out, the situation may be unpredictable. Therefore, I came to report the news to the Marquis and ask the Marquis to pay attention to this matter."

Li Mu frowned slightly and said, "Didn't you go to find General Hou? What did he say?"

Wang Tong smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Marquis, the villain is just a traveling doctor. How can he meet General Hou? Even if he comes here to ask for a visit, he is also trying his luck. He did not expect to meet the Marquis... The villain just thought, just to do his best. If he didn't come this trip, he would be uneasy. Since he has been here, he will do his best whether he sees the Marquis or not."

"Um..." Li Mu nodded and said, "You are very good, a good doctor. But I need to verify what you said. This is how you rest here for a day, wait for me to send someone to ask clearly before making a mistake. If the situation you said is true, I will never be stingy with the rewards of this marquis."

"Mr. Xie." Wang Shuo Xie, followed the doorman down and went to the guest room to rest.

Li Mu understood Wang Tong's purpose. In fact, Wang Tong did not necessarily fail to see Hou Junji, but seeing Hou Junji was a big difference compared to seeing him. Although Hou Junji was the Minister of War and General, Hou Junji did not have the right to appoint and remove officials. However, Li Mu is now the Grand Governor of Jiangnan and Governor of Jiangnan, and is in charge of water transportation affairs. He also has the right to appoint and remove people. If the situation is true, his news is equivalent to saving the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers. Such contributions must be rewarded. At least a seventh-rank official is indispensable, and he has transformed from a traveling doctor to an official body. This is the case with fish jumping over the dragon gate.

Li Mu didn't mind Wang Tong's little thoughts. He never stings on rewarding those who have made meritorious things. He even appreciates those who have the ability.
