Chapter 539 Self-defense in front of the palace (1)
Li Muyun blinked and stared at Lao Cheng for a while. After saying oh, he never responded again.
"What is your attitude? Do you still want me, Cheng, to apologize to you? I will tell you, there is no way, do you know?" Cheng Yao said with a stare at Li Muyun's reaction when he was not interested in Li Muyun's beard and glared.
Li Muyun rolled his eyes: "What did Uncle Cheng want me to say? It's already like this. I can't suppress you and you can't blow you too much. What else can I do except 'oh'?"
Only then did Cheng Yaojin realize that he had misunderstood Li Muyun, he laughed dryly a few times, and then asked uncertainly: "Then...that's it?"
"That's it! I know Uncle Cheng, you are kind-hearted, but people are now sinister. You are not afraid of good things, but you are afraid of no good people. So the soldiers come to block the water and soil will be covered." Li Muyun held the wine glass and touched Lao Cheng for a while, and then drank it all in one go.
"Okay, good boy, have courage and a stubbornness." Cheng Yaojin was stunned at first, then laughed, drank with Li Muyun for a drink, and then said with a tongue: "You know, the matter of having five thousand cavalry in your hands is big or small. If Your Majesty knows this, there will be no future troubles, and no one will ask about it in the future, but if Your Majesty doesn't know, it will be a problem in the future. So..."
"So Uncle Cheng reported to His Majesty the Emperor for me, but this matter was used by some people with ulterior motives, and it was not difficult to guess." Li Muyun said as he took the words of Yao Jin.
Cheng Yaojin smacked his lips, hesitated for a moment and asked again: "You kid is so sure? What if I, Cheng, really wants to cheat you?"
"No need. With Uncle Cheng's weight in front of His Majesty, there is no need to cause trouble for me, a junior." Li Muyun shook his head, thought for a while and then continued: "The most important thing is that there is no need to be such a trouble. In Shuozhou, you just cut me off directly. Your Majesty at most will be reduced to your title. Why do you have to go around in one go?"
"Hahaha... OK, good boy, Cheng Ai listened to this!" Cheng Yaojin patted his shoulder and laughed. Although he knew that the facts might not have developed like this, this invisible flattery made him feel a little proud.
Seeing that he was so happy, Li Muyun smiled, and took a deep breath and said, "I just don't know who is so deliberate about me. What speculations does Uncle Cheng have?"
"I don't know, you have never offended any high-ranking officials and nobles in Chang'an. The only one Han Ai was killed by you, so there is no way to guess the situation at the moment. Anyone is possible, and no one is possible. You can only wait and see and deal with it carefully. Don't investigate it with great fanfare, otherwise you can only offend people who don't need to offend for nothing."
"Well, I understand!" Li Muyun nodded to express his gratitude and drank with Lao Cheng. Then the two of them talked about the past of several big men in Chang'an. When the sky gradually darkened, they went back to their rooms to rest.
...
The next day, Li Muyun was called up early and said he was going to court.
Looking at the dark sky outside, Li Muyun got up from the bed depressedly and asked Mu Yu beside him: "Girl, when is it now?"
"The beginning of Yin Shi." The little girl said while changing clothes for Li Muyun.
Li Muyun smiled bitterly and said, "I'm the first time in Yin? It's really early than the chicken."
If you go to court normally, it takes Mao hour, but now they are outside the city, and even packing up and bringing them into the city will probably waste a long time. It is not too early to get up one hour in advance.
After packing up, he met with Cheng Yaojin, Yu Wenshi and others. The group stepped into Chang'an City and rushed towards the palace. When he arrived outside the palace, he happened to catch the palace gate open.
The palace is still the same. Except for the imperial guards on duty, everyone who sees it looks desperate and obviously doesn't want to get up so early.
Li Muyun followed Cheng Yaojin, thinking about what would happen after he went to the hall for a while and how he would deal with it. Before he knew it, he had already arrived outside the Tai Chi Hall.
However, because they had just returned from outside, they did not go in with the others, but waited in a corner outside. After the morning court began, they could only go in with Li Er's will.
But after half an hour passed, Li Muyun's legs were numb when he stood. However, seeing that Lao Cheng was still motionless, he naturally did not dare to move. After waiting for about half an hour, he heard a sharp voice: "Your Majesty has an order, King Xuan Xiaoyao will meet you."
Finally it was me. Li Muyun sighed in his heart. He guided a eunuch who couldn't wake up and walked down to the entrance of the hall, stepped into the hall, and bowed: "My minister Li Muyun, please see Your Majesty, long live my emperor!" No matter what you are going to say in a while, it's right to give flattery first. Li Muyun thought shamelessly while saying it.
What surprised Li Muyun was that Li Er was not moved by flattery, but asked expressionlessly: "Li Muyun, someone impeached you to commit a rebellion, what should you explain this?"
Without even thinking about what Li Er’s true thoughts were, Li Muyun quickly replied: “Your Majesty, this matter is purely false, I have no intention of rebellion.”
But just as he finished speaking, a guy he didn't know had already stood up and shouted at him sternly: "Li Muyun, if you don't want to rebel, what's going on with you privately raising 5,000 cavalry?"
Li Muyun was not a good-natured person. Seeing that the man was not polite at all, he immediately changed his color and fought back: "What are five thousand cavalry? Which eye did you see that I raised five thousand cavalry?"
"Hmph, the facts are all there, you are still quibbling. If there were no cavalrymen, why were there so many Khitans in Shuozhou?"
"Are you stupid? If there are Khitans, there will be cavalry? Then there are so many people in our Tang Dynasty. Are they all peasants?"
"Li Muyun, don't confuse the people with the Khitans. If you gather so many Khitans, you have other intentions. If you don't want to rebel, why should you recruit so many mortals in Shuozhou?" Another guy jumped out and looked at Li Muyun's words and looked straight at him.
However, this matter is actually hard to explain. The Khitans are nomadic people. As long as they are Khitans, they will ride horses. If they can ride horses, they will definitely fight. This is a deeply rooted idea in everyone's mind.
So no matter how Li Muyun explained it at this time, he could not explain the fact that there were so many Khitans in Shuozhou.
