Chapter 759 Depressed (the finale)
Li Er also had a headache about how to deal with Li Muyun's affairs. The key problem is that he did too much and too amazing this time.
Ju Wentai was forced to death and the whole family was killed, and the generals were not even left with a woman.
Gaochang's defenders were also killed in order to avenge his subordinates.
This is a very bad example. If the Tang Dynasty, as the sect leader, indulged in such behavior, other vassal states would inevitably rebound.
In addition, Li Muyun's behavior did not consider the consequences, and there were many people offended in the court. Although the relationship between them seemed to be harmonious on the surface, there were still people who took advantage of such a situation.
...
The next morning, there were hundreds of officials outside the Tai Chi Hall gathering, and the crows and magpies were silent.
When the sun rose, with the sound of a whip, the gate of Taiji Hall slowly opened, and all officials entered one after another, quietly waiting for Li Er's arrival.
The main purpose of today's court meeting is to discuss the handling of Li Muyun, and to determine the future external policies of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin went to court and all officials visited. After the ceremony, the eunuch's sharp voice sounded: "It's said that Li Muyun went to the palace!"
"It's said that Li Muyun went to the palace..." The voice continued.
Li Muyun has already left office. He can be considered a white person, so he naturally cannot wait outside the hall, so it took him nearly half a quarter of an hour before he was taken to the hall.
"Li Muyun, do you know your guilt!" Li Shimin was above and asked in a deep voice as he looked at Li Muyun in a civilian dress below.
"Caomin Li Muyun meets Your Majesty." Li Muyun first worshiped a big ceremony, stood up and said calmly: "Caomin does not know what crime he committed, and Caomin is panic!"
What a fright, look at your calm and gentle look, it doesn’t seem to be frightened!
Li Shimin went black and continued, "What are you going to explain about Gaochang? As the king of Gaochang, Ju Wentai, you actually made him kneel to death in front of the spirits of several soldiers, and for the sake of several soldiers, you made a big fight to massacre all the Gaochang royal family. Should you give me an explanation?"
"Your Majesty, Caomin only has His Majesty one king in his eyes." Li Muyun talked jokingly: "As for slaughtering all the Gaochang royal family, Caomin only killed the rebels."
"Li Muyun, things have come to this point. Do you think you can fool it with these sweet words? If you don't talk about the Gaochang royal family, just say that you privately divide the Gaochang treasury and massacre more than 10,000 prisoners of war, isn't it a crime?" Some of the court officials couldn't see Li Muyun's words and deeds and said sarcastically.
Li Muyun glanced at the man and said indifferently: "Mr. Chen, why bother with me? What you said about Li is the responsibility of not being strict in the ruling power, so how could he be guilty?"
"..." Lord Chen was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, looked at Li Shimin, and saw that the emperor had no special expression, he said: "I am not strict with the ruler? I am so relaxed that I am deeply imparted to the samadhi of turning big things into small things and small things into samadhi."
Li Muyun didn't even blink, and asked directly: "If it weren't for this, Lord Chen thought, what crime should Li be guilty of?"
"Taking human life, being the best is the best, being corrupt and inadvertent...!"
"There are so many crimes, Lord Chen, I have to say that your ability to weave crimes is the first in the court." Li Muyun sneered and interrupted the other party: "But if you want to cure Li to death, the crimes you mentioned are probably not enough."
The guy named Chen said nothing, but another person stood up: "Why isn't it enough? It's wrong, it's right, it's right, you have so many sins, do you still have the face to live in the world?"
Then, one, two, and soon many people stood up.
Li Muyun looked at it one by one and suddenly laughed: "Haha, I didn't expect that there were so many people who wanted to cure Li to death. If there was no Gaochang incident, Li wouldn't have discovered it."
"Even if you know now, it's not too late. Li Muyun, you have been doing things against each other over the years, and it's time to pay off your debts."
Although I had known that this day would happen, Li Muyun's heart was slightly chilled when he experienced such a thing himself. He sighed and turned to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty..."
"Forget it!" Li Shimin waved his hand, glanced at everyone below, and did not give Li Muyun a chance to speak. He said directly: "Li Muyun's eyes are unstoppable, and he will plunder... For the sake of his contribution to pacifying Gaochang, he will be exempted from his death penalty and remove all positions, and will be entrusted to three thousand miles."
"Your Majesty's wise!"
"..." Li Muyun was speechless.
...
A few days later, Li Muyun, Su Wanqing, together with the three fat men, Wang Jie and a number of carriages appeared on the official road leading to Youzhou.
More than a month later, the group met with another group of people in Youzhou, turned around and headed straight for Shuozhou.
After more than a year, an imperial edict came out of Chang'an and arrived straight to Shuozhou, and then hurried back.
...
At the foot of Yinshan Mountain in Shuozhou, in a huge courtyard, a young woman was holding a sleeping baby in her arms: "Mu Yun, since your father has summoned you back, you promised it, why bother with him?"
"So what can I do when I go back? I have seen the ups and downs of the court for a long time. Why bother to go to that muddy water again? Besides, with my temper, I'm afraid the old man will be so angry again."
"Then..., then you won't never go back to Chang'an for the rest of your life, right?"
Li Muyun looked into the distance with his hands behind his back, with a faint decline and regret in his eyes: "I will go back, but... it's not now!"
"Why?" the woman asked softly.
"Oh..." the man sighed softly and said, "Lizhi, I heard that the Wu girl was selected to be a talented person. Is this the case?"
"Basically, there is, but what does this have to do with whether we go back?"
"Some things are destined and you can never change them, just like the old man..."
"By the way, what did Doctor Sun say, can Grandpa Huang's illness be cured?" Li Zhi asked with concern when she heard the 'old man'.
Li Muyun sighed: "What else can I do? The old man has been in the third high school for many years, but he doesn't listen!"
Li Lizhi looked sad. When she thought of the seriously ill old Li Yuan, her mood suddenly became much heavier.
...
Half a year later, Li Yuan passed away seriously ill, but the old man was so happy that he drank a jar of old wine and drank himself to death.
In a blink of an eye, several years later, news came from Chang'an that the prince Chengqian had conspired to rebel and had been deposed as a commoner.
A few years later, Goguryeo was unable to repay the huge debts of the Tang Dynasty and was unable to repay them. He was attacked by Li Shimin for less than half a year. The entire country became the territory of the Tang Dynasty.
