Li Mu became more and more excited as he spoke, and he got closer and closer to Wei Zheng. The spit he spitted out when he spoke had already flown to his face, and everyone present was still immersed in what he had just said, and actually forgot to stop him.

"I heard that all the people in the court and the country called you a "principal", but you actually accused of this? It's really disgusting! The prime minister is the prime minister of the country and the assistant of the emperor. How can you dare to call yourself a "principal"? Which of the four prime ministers in the court is not both character and virtue? No one else can ignore it, but only Wang Shizhong was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan. After the imperial restructuring, the Wang family of Taiyuan also suffered losses, but Wang Shizhong still spoke highly of support. Why? It's just the four words of being a country and a people.

"I have seen the style of the Wang family in Taiyuan today. I am afraid that Duke Zheng will not know about it. I also mentioned that when the Yellow River flooded, the daughter of Wang family who donated 100,000 yuan was Wang Shizhong's niece, which shows the style of the Wang family in Taiyuan. I respect the Wang family in Taiyuan very much, but most families are not like this. People who are like Shandong gentry behind Duke Zheng are for personal gain and ignore the people's livelihood, which makes me feel disgusted and disappointed. I am a minister of the Tang Dynasty, so how can I stand up and fight with me?!"

"Li Mu, enough!" Li Shimin finally recovered and said sternly. He had to say that if Li Mu continued to speak, it would be equivalent to offending the entire Shandong gentry to death. The current situation, no matter how deeply he hated the aristocratic families, could not change the fact that the aristocratic families dominated the local area. If the entire Shandong gentry to death, Li Mu would have a hard time in the future. The thousand-year-old aristocratic family was definitely not just a talk. If this hatred was formed, Li Mu would be struggling. Li Shimin spoke out to stop it at this time, which was definitely for his own good.

Li Mu bowed to Li Shimin again and smiled. Because the distance was very close, Li Shimin could even see his own shadow reflected in Li Mu's eyes. Li Shimin couldn't help but feel moved. Only such a clear and open-minded child could say such heartfelt words.

"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness, but since I dared to tell the matter out today, I have already thought about the consequences. Your Majesty just promised me to argue with Duke Zheng, and I would like to ask Your Majesty not to interfere. I will finish my words."

"you!"

Li Mu knew that the nerves of the people present had reached their limits and there was not much time left for him to speak, so he couldn't help but speed up his speech and continued, "When I heard about Duke Zheng, I had a little strange in my heart. No one of my great Tang Dynasty was a man who had made great achievements or made great contributions to the country, but Duke Zheng was an exception. Duke Zheng was a Duke of the State, but Duke Zheng was only a fourth rank. The Duke of the State was a major event in the court, and he did not see the good strategies of Duke Zheng. On the other hand, when the court wanted to reform, Duke Zheng often jumped out to accuse him. The boy did not understand and thought that Duke Zheng asked for his orders for the people. When he saw him today, he turned out to be the mouthpiece of the Shandong gentry. In the eyes of the duke, this Duke, was not the Duke of Wei Zheng, but the Duke of the Shandong gentry. He was the only one who made progress in his reputation by deceived the world and stealing the world and making progress in the past!"

"Now that the Tang Dynasty has just been established, people's livelihood is in decline, and everything is in need of money everywhere. Duke Zheng of China said that it is rich to the people, but when the court is in trouble, he refused to help the people. How is this kind of wealth different from being rich? The existing policy can increase the surplus of millions of yuan a year, and I don't know how many people can support it. However, because people like Duke Zheng of China are stopped by their own selfish desires. Those who do practical things are light and those who talk empty talk are in high spirits. How can I talk about prosperity in the Tang Dynasty? Wei Zheng, what qualifications do you have and what are your faces? Do you blame the strategy of rejuvenating the country? Don't you feel ashamed?!"

"Enough!" Li Shimin had to stop drinking, slapped the table suddenly and said, "Li Mu, you are arrogant! Duke Zheng is your elder, how can you..."

"Your Majesty, I have no relatives with Duke Zheng, so I can't recognize this elder. Moreover, my mother was humiliated today, Duke Zheng protected my enemies, and I can't recognize him as an elder." As he said that, he took out two memorials from his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, here are two memorials written by me, and I have put forward my ideas for the affairs of the Ministry of Mining and Works. I would like to offer you my Majesty, and I have fulfilled the righteousness of the monarch and minister."

Li Shimin changed his brilliance and said angrily: "Li Mu, what are you talking about and what do you want to do!"

Seeing that Li Shimin did not answer, Li Mu put two memorials on the desk, straightened his back and looked at Li Shimin, and said, "I am born in a small way. I have been loved by Your Majesty for several times. Now I am a third-rank military marquis and minister of the Ministry of Works. I have received the emperor's kindness and do not know how to repay it. I thought in my heart that I can only devote myself to it. Therefore, I do not save money, do not buy land, do not store houses, and rack my brains every day to think about ways to share the worries of the king. I set up a studio at home, and Your Majesty has also seen it with my own eyes. When I return home every day, I work hard in the studio except for eating, and I never dare to sleep before the middle of the year. Your Majesty thinks that Zhenguan plow comes out of thin air? Can you tell me how many days and nights I have paid for this?"

Li Mu opened his eyes, tears flowed down his cheeks, but his tone did not have a choking choke, and he still resonated: "In order to repay the emperor's kindness, I have given all my family property to the Ministry of Works. But I also know that it is difficult to relieve the drop in the car, so I offer advice and ask Your Majesty to collect minerals in the court to gain benefits, and to give favors to the world, but I don't want the sluts to emerge one after another. But my mother is so injured."

"In the court today, your Majesty changes his will, and I am heartbroken. Just like the Wei Zheng talks happily, but the Dukes dare not refute it, and I am heartbroken. I am not thinking of serving the country, but what I see today is that all the ministers are slack, and Your Majesty should be constantly determined. The king is not like the king, and the ministers are not like the ministers. This Tang Dynasty is not like the Tang Dynasty when I came to Chang'an, and the king and his ministers imagined that they work together to promote the country and safeguard the people. I am seventeen years old and I dare not take a high position. I am now resigning and asking Your Majesty for your gratitude!"

After saying that, Li Mu bowed to the ground.

Li Shimin stood up suddenly, trembling with anger, pointed at Li Mu and said, "Li Mu! You, you dare! You speak out loud because you don't follow your wishes. You dare to resign now? Who gives you the courage! Don't think that you can be arrogant with talent if you have some talent. Do you really think that I will not punish you!"

Li Mu raised his head, looked stubborn, and said, "I have said all I think in my heart, and now I have nothing to say."

"You!" Li Shimin stared at Li Mu, and the two looked at each other, not giving in. Seeing that Li Mu had no intention of retreating, Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said, "I do not agree to your resignation. Today's affairs are not over. Please return to my house and think about your mistakes. Without my will, you should not leave the house! People come and send Zhulu Hou back to the house!"

Li Mu stood up, smiled casually, and said, "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself!"

After saying that, he bowed to Tang Jian and said, "Please remember the appointment of the first meeting."

Leaving this sentence without end, Li Mu followed Eunuch Gao. Li Shimin stared at Li Mu's back in a daze, and was happy and angry. What Li Mu said today was not what he thought? But this child is still young, how could he say such a thing on the table!

"Your Majesty, the old minister has no words to respond to the accusations made by Zhulu Hou. Please punish Your Majesty."

Wei Zheng knelt down and stood on the ground with his head. He seemed to be admitting his mistakes, but in fact he was a general. Today, Li Mu had already refuted him to be worthless. If there was no break between him and Li Mu, he would have no place to stand in the court in the future. The Shandong gentry would not support a waste, so he made up his mind and knelt directly on the ground, forcing Li Shimin to choose between him and Li Mu.

Li Shimin looked at Wei Zheng. The two of them had never hated this face as much as they did today. Even if Wei Zheng instigated Li Jiancheng to kill him, Li Shimin was not so angry. But today, this patience has reached its limit. Li Shimin stepped out of the case and kicked Wei Zheng on the shoulder, cursing: "Old man, do you really think I need Li Mu to say it before I can recognize your face? I know it well! It's just that I don't want to care about you! Don't think that with the support of Shandong gentry, I can't do anything to you, I..."

Li Shimin wanted to say something else, Changsun Wuji rushed over, knelt at Li Shimin's feet, grabbed his robe tightly, and whispered: "Your Majesty!!"

The others also reacted and all knelt down: "Your Majesty!! Stop your anger!"

Hearing these shouts, Li Shimin suddenly woke up and smiled bitterly. At this moment, he was extremely sad. He was an emperor, and he wanted to be a wise emperor. When doing things, he had to consider the consequences. Li Mu could say something, but he could not say it.

"I am not as good as Li Mu..."

Li Shimin sighed, pulled away Changsun Wuji's hand, slowly bent down, and helped Wei Zheng up. Then he turned around and returned to the table.

"I'm tired today, so let's go here..."

Li Shimin waved his hand, everyone saluted and withdrew in turn, and Wei Zheng did not bother him. Li Shimin's kick just now made him realize the reality.

Li Shimin was stunned when he looked at the two memorials left by Li Mu. He was about to pick them up and take a look, but suddenly Eunuch Gao ran in in a panic. In a hurry, he stepped on the hem of his robe, fell down and slid in front of Li Shimin.

"What are you doing!"

"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Gao got up and said anxiously before he could salute, "Your Majesty, as soon as he left the palace gate, the Marquis Zhulu ran away. The people he brought by the old slave were walking and could not catch up... The old slave was worried that something would happen..."

"What?!"

The 'take care' that Li Mu said suddenly in his mind, and he felt something was wrong in his heart and asked hurriedly: "Where is that Zhao Yuanlang now?"

Eunuch Gao was stunned for a moment and replied, "According to His Majesty's wishes, he has been sent to the Dali Temple Prison."

"Go quickly! Take Jinwu Guards and must stop Li Mu, so you can't let him do something stupid!"

Eunuch Gao quickly got up and ran out. Li Shimin became more and more panicked. Finally, he also got up and strode out of the hall.

Eunuch Gao set up a team of Jinwu Guards and rushed out of the palace. Then Li Shimin changed into casual clothes and followed with four guards. The two teams headed straight for Dali Temple. Soon, Li Shimin arrived and saw that there were many people surrounding Dali Temple. On the wall on the east side of Dali Temple, there was somehow a large hole that was one person tall appeared.

Suddenly, a human head flew out of the hole!
