Before Li Shimin could speak, Li Mu said, "Your Majesty, I think 'It's great to know that mistakes can improve'. The chief clerk Chen has realized his mistakes. I have always been kind to others and ask Your Majesty to exempt him from punishment."

As soon as this statement was made, the expressions of civil and military officials in the court were very wonderful. Do you have any misunderstandings about idioms? If you are kind to others, what is the matter with the two censors who just gave up? One is fined for salary and the other is exiled directly. If you are kind to others, then there will probably be no bad people in the court.

Li Shimin was unwilling to make many enemies for Li Mu. After hearing Li Mu say this, he took the initiative to step down and said, "Since Zhulu Hou is magnanimous, please avoid your punishment. In the future, you should always think about your own mistakes and be diligent in becoming an official."

"I will receive the order, thank Your Majesty for the grace, and thank the magnanimity of Zhulu."

Chen Danqiu retreated and apologized by others. It was embarrassing, but fortunately he got out of the way and did not receive any punishment, which was lucky. This was also related to his relationship with the aristocratic family. Although he took the benefits of the aristocratic family, he was from a poor family and had very little relationship. This time he came out to impeachment was mostly for Kong Yingda, and wanted to find a way for the Imperial College. Since he couldn't find it, it would be better to withdraw it early.

The last one is also the highlight of today. Zhao Qing, the chief censor, and the chief censor, and two chief censors were set up. Zhao Qing was in the Censorate, which was about the second-in-command and fourth-rank official. The weight of his speech was greater than the previous sum of the two. Zhao Qing was known as the "Little Wei Zheng", because he hated evil and refused to admit his relatives. He would sue others and would sue him to death, and he would have many things to do when he hit the pillar in the hall. In addition, he was born in a poor family and always boasted of being honest and had a very good reputation as an official, like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, and no one would want to offend him easily.

When he was able to fight today, everyone was worried about Li Mu.

"This official sued the Marquis of Zhulu, Zhao Qing, and Zhulu, Li Mu, the doctor of the Ministry of Works, gathered people to cause trouble and abused lynching. This was seen by everyone in front of everyone, and the people of Chang'an saw it, and Zhulu Hou might not be able to defend himself."

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty has punished me for ten days."

Zhao Qing looked at Li Shimin and said, "I think your Majesty is too light. The Tang Dynasty rules have words, and punishment should not be made privately. If you deal with slaves too much, you will still have to be fined. Cui Yuyan, the eldest grandson of the Cui family in Boling, has a different identity. Li Mu, the Marquis of Zhulu, beat him in the street, causing him serious injuries. His Majesty only punished him to be confined to ten days, which is unfair."

Li Mu raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know how Zhao Zhongcheng thinks he should be punished?"

"Reclaim the title and official position, be criticized for fifty years, and be exiled for three thousand miles!"

"Hahaha..." Li Mu laughed three times, his face turned cold, and he saluted Li Shimin first, saying, "Your Majesty, what I said next is that I am afraid that my vulgarity is so bad. Please forgive me for your crime."

Li Shimin said: "It's okay, it's inevitable that the words are more vulgar in arguments."

"Zhao Zhongcheng, I asked you, what should you do if someone hits your first wife?"

"I should report to the official and ask the government to deal with it."

"Okay!" Li Mu said: "Zhao Zhongcheng really obeys the law. But this marquis is different. I was born in Mayi, a small border town on the border, where the Turks are often robbed. We Mayi men were born with two responsibilities. One is to protect the country and the other is to protect the family. My first wife and my childhood sweetheart grew up. My mother was guarding her when she was seriously ill. When I was captured by Turkic cavalry, I did not leave me. I heard that she was hit by a clerk, and I was furious and couldn't care about many things and had to stand up for her. This marquis thought that this was a passionate man. I was very proud of myself and didn't realize that something was wrong. Even if I came to me a hundred times, I would be the same. Instead of going to report to the official first, as Zhao Zhongcheng said."

Zhao Qing seized the opportunity and said, "You are despising the law!"

"No!" Li Mu said: "I might as well provoke it today. The family is closely related to the country. Cui Yuyan is an example. The incident happened in Dongshi that day, and Dongshi belongs to Wannian County, but the yamen runners who rushed over came from Chang'an County. Because Wang Zhongyuan of Chang'an County was a friend of Cui Yuyan's uncle Cui Wensheng, the yamen runners were arrested indiscriminately. In order to flatter each other, they protected each other. Zhao Zhongcheng, what is the use of me to report to the official?"

Zhao Qing was choked, but said: "You can write a letter to report, but you can't abuse lynching!"

"Ha! Zhao Zhongcheng is so kind to cultivate. It's better to go to your house to arrest your mother and wife tomorrow, and then detain them in our house for seven days. During these seven days, you can write a letter to me. After seven days, I will return your mother and wife unscathed, and apologize to you, and then tell everyone that I have no conflict with your wife. Do you agree?"

Zhao Qing's face turned red and said, "You, how dare you insult me!"

"Then how dare you insult me!" Li Mu approached Zhao Qing and said, "You bully me at a young age, despise me, and jealous of me in my position, and are angry and unjust. It's really ridiculous! My title and official position are all due to merit and the country, and I have not been lucky enough to advance. You have no credit for me. What are the injustice under me? Just because Cui Yuyan is a family, you respect him seven points. What this marquis did became a mistake in your eyes. Then Benhou wanted to ask back. What position does Cui Yuyan hold and what title is it?"

Zhao Qing was taken away by Li Mu's momentum and could not speak. Li Mu replied: "He has no official position, no title, no title. What is the difference between him and ordinary people? Just because he comes from a family, he should look up to him? This marquis doesn't understand this principle."

"I am a humble person and a minority in the border town. I have the wise eyes of Your Majesty to know the talents. I have this today. I know the suffering of the people and I am very compassionate, so I care about the people. I am loved by Your Majesty and I am afraid that I will not be able to be a good official. Therefore, I work diligently and reform the system to make the Ministry of Works a new look, just to repay Your Majesty's kindness. You are all officials, and I am only concerned about loyalty to the emperor and loving the people. As for the family and the family, it is not in my eyes. What about the eldest grandson of Cui? If I anger me, I will still whip it. Even if the Lord Cui is in front of me, I will tell him that your grandson is not worthy and will discipline you."

"You are the censor, but you don't want to make an injustice and put your mind on me. What are you doing? In my opinion, you are a lackey of a family and are not worthy of being an official! I am a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, and your minister is rewarded and punished, but your majesty is willing to do so. How can you bow your head and serve the powerful and noble people so that I can't be happy! If you want to be a lackey, don't think of me as a person like you!"

Zhao Qing was scolded and looked pale. He pointed at Li Mu for a while and couldn't speak. His lips were trembling. After a long time, he said, "You, you are slandering. Who doesn't know that I am a poor family and an honest official? Which eye did you see that I am a lackey in the family?"
