Before Li Mu bowed, Li Shimin had already supported him and said, "The rebellious son is despicable. If you hadn't stopped him, you would have done something unforgivable. I asked you to supervise the study of the prince and the King of Yue, which would give you the power to control the prince. Not to mention, you blocked a sword for him... Li Mu, I have recorded your intention." As he said that, he looked at Li You and said sternly: "I'm not here to kowtow to Zhulu Hou to admit his mistake?"

Li You stubbornly said, "Father, my son is a dragon son and a grandson. I can kneel down to the ancestors, my grandfather, you and your mother, you can kneel down to the little marquis, my son would rather die than kneel down!"

Li Shimin was furious: "You nerd! How dare you not listen to my words? Someone came."

Li Mu smiled, stopped Li Shimin, and said, "Your Majesty, whether I discipline King Yan or block the sword for him, it's not because King Yan is King Yan, but because he is Your Majesty's son, that's all. I'm looking at Your Majesty, not King Yan. Whether the King of Yan admits his mistakes or not, I don't care."

Li Shimin sighed: "It is hard for you to be so kind. Li Mu, you have been wronged. You don't have to worry about my face. You can do whatever you should do. I will never interfere with your decision!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Mu turned his gaze and looked at Li You again. Li You looked at him and said, "Don't pretend. If you want to take revenge on me, you can take revenge!"

"The King of Yan is such a hero!"

"That's natural. I'm not afraid of anything, I'm not afraid of death. Come on!"

Concubine Yin De quickly covered Li You's mouth, looked at Li Mu beggingly, and said, "Marquis Zhulu, I apologize to you for my son. Please spare him. He is still young and ignorant..."

"Don't worry about Empress De Concubine, I didn't think about what to do to King Yan." Li Mu pondered for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I'll deal with today's affairs as the Minister of the Office of Internal Affairs."

Li Shimin didn't know what medicine was sold in Li Mu's gourd, but he agreed and said, "I've said it and let you deal with it. You can do whatever you say."

Li Mu nodded and said, "Then I will deal with it as the Minister of the Office of Internal Affairs. First of all, for the sake of the royal face, this matter should not be made public. I issued a ban order and left the hall gate. After today, I will not be mentioned again."

Li Shimin nodded, which was exactly what he wanted.

"The guards outside Changle Gate neglected their duties and turned a blind eye to the atrocities of the King of Yan, and were guilty of being transferred from the palace and exiled to the Dingxiang Zhechong Mansion. They were not allowed to return the court for three years."

The guards all thought they could not escape death, but unexpectedly they were only sent to the Zhechong Mansion in Dingxiang. After escaping, they were still dissatisfied and knelt down to take the crime.

After dealing with the irrelevant person, Li Mu looked at Li You. Li You said he was not afraid, but in fact his heart was already in his throat. He thought from the perspective of others. If he was Li Mu, he would definitely take this opportunity to take revenge and judge others by himself. He was a little scared.

Just when his heart was about to jump out of his throat, Li Mu looked at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, I heard about something when I was chatting with the Supreme Emperor. In the fourth year of Wude, the Supreme Emperor lamented that King Huai of Wei had no son and changed the title of Qingque to King Wei to succeed King Huai of Wei. Is there any such thing?"

Li Shimin nodded and said, "This is indeed the case. At that time, Qingque, as my second son, had the highest title in the future, but his father named him the first-rank King of Wei. This was a great favor for Qingque."

"It can be said that there has been a long time since the adoption of a son to his brother?"

Li Shimin probably heard a little, frowned slightly, and after a while, nodded.

Li Mu sighed and said, "Today's incident was caused by His Majesty's son and Prince Yin's daughter. In order to teach the King of Yan a lesson, and to let the King of Yan dispel the thoughts that should not exist. I suggest that the King of Yan be the heir of Prince Yin and continue the incense of Prince Yin's lineage will not only resolve the current problems, but also demonstrate the righteousness of the brothers of Prince Yin and Prince Yin. What does Your Majesty think?"

"This..." Li Shimin hesitated.

It is not a new thing to adopt the sons to give birth to his brothers. Not to mention Li Tai’s incident, before that, Li Shimin had a second son who died early, Li Kuan, the King of Chu, who also adopted his younger brother Li Zhiyun as his heir. There are many examples like this. Although it was adopted in name, it actually did not affect anything, it was just a form.

But, it still depends on the situation.

Li Xuanba and Li Zhiyun were both brothers who died early, and they were both concubines and had no conflict of interest with him, the second brother. Li Jiancheng, both of them had snatched the throne. Li Jiancheng's sons were both dead at his hands. If Li You were asked to be Li Jiancheng's heir at this time, they would have everything they said in a long and endless way.

"...It's not right." Li Shimin held it in for a long time and finally spit out three words.

Li Mu still insisted, saying, "Didn't Your Majesty say that this matter is handled by me? I understand Your Majesty's worries. But I think that if you are worried about the consequences that may arise, and fear the head and the head are definitely not done by a real man. The dispute between Your Majesty and Prince Yin is a national affairs. The brotherly relationship between Your Majesty and Prince Yin is a family matter. Your Majesty continues the incense for your brother, and this is "righteousness". If the people in the world want to criticize it, it is the fault of the world. Your Majesty is the emperor, so why are you afraid of people's words?"

Li Mu's last sentence, "Why fear others' words" obviously touched Li Shimin's heart. Li Shimin focused on the key points and said, "What a good person, why not fear others' words? Just do it like this. I will issue an order tomorrow and do it according to your wishes."

"I won't do it!" Li You screamed, and Concubine Yin De quickly covered his mouth and said repeatedly: "He agreed, Your Majesty, Zhulu Hou, he agreed!"

Li Mu smiled and said he didn't mind, and continued: "As a punishment for today's affairs, I suggest that the King of Yan go to Gaoyangyuan to mourn Prince Yin for three months. Does Your Majesty think it is OK?"

Li Shimin glanced at Zheng Guanyin and hesitated: "Is this a bad boy cheaper?"

Li Mu came to Zheng Guanyin and said, "Although the King of Yan made a mistake, fortunately he did not make a big mistake. Please ask the Princess Yin to give him some thin face and ask him for help."

Zheng Guanyin sighed and said, "For the sake of Zhulu Marquis saving my daughter, let's do it like this. Since there is nothing wrong here, we will go back." After saying that, Li Mu reached out to stop him and said, "Please wait a moment and cover your daughter's eyes first."

"what are you up to?"

"Have it a little while." Li Mu turned around without explanation, picked up the sword thrown by Li Shimin, and walked towards Yin Hongzhi.

When Yin Defei saw the cruel look in Li Mu's eyes, she said frightenedly: "Marquis Zhulu, what are you going to do? Are you going to kill my brother? Your Majesty, Your Majesty!!"

Li Shimin turned a deaf ear and obviously acquiesced. Yin Hongzhi taught his son like this and should have died. Li Mu almost died at his hands, so he should have revenge.

"Ao...!"

A silver light flashed!

Although he was pouting, he still let out a shrill scream. Yin Hongzhi broke away from the guards and fell to the ground and rolled, blood rubbing all over the ground.

Li Mu dropped his sword, bent down and picked up the ears on the ground, and threw them in front of Yin Hongzhi. Everyone was shocked, including Li Shimin, Li Chengqian and Empress Changsun. No one expected that Li Mu would be so cruel.

He cut off Yin Hongzhi's ears! Such insults made him feel more uncomfortable than killing him!

"Yin Changshi, what you said makes me feel disgusted. You wandered around the palace wall for a long time and thought I didn't see it? It's just that I don't know you, I don't know who you are. I thought you were the eunuch of the Eastern Palace and did not take you seriously. As the chief of the palace and the uncle of the King of Yan, you don't know who the person in the Changle Gate is? Seeing that the King of Yan was going to do something wrong, you not only did not stop him, but instead indulge him. What kind of heart do you feel at ease? Are you worthy of Your Majesty and your own sister Concubine De? I won't speculate maliciously, you did it on purpose. But, I, Li Mu, will definitely revenge you. If you stab me with a sword, I will give you a sword. Is it fair?"

"If you want to take revenge, wait for you at any time. I almost died at your hands. This matter is not over yet! I won't kill you today because of Empress De Concubine, so I will spare you once. I will provoke me again the next day, even if I am dealt with by Your Majesty, I will kill you first. Remember it for me, Yin Changshi!"

After Li Mu said coldly, wiped the blood on his hands, turned around and saluted Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, I have not controlled my temper and hurt others again. Please punish me."

"Oh!" Li Shimin waved his hand, and Eunuch Gao hurriedly took someone to pull Yin Hongzhi, Li You and others out. Li You was so scared that he wet his pants. Although he was arrogant and domineering, he was just a ten-year-old child. When had he ever seen such a cruel person? Suddenly he regretted it a little. If he had known that Li Mu was such a person, it would be great not to provoke him. He, he actually cut off his uncle's ear in front of his father! It was so scary!!

"You have spared his life and are already considered kind and righteous. How can I punish you... But Li Mu, your temper still needs to be polished. Although you did nothing wrong, it is too cruel. Those in the top should have a kind thought, and you are like a ranger like this."

"Your Majesty, I don't understand these things. I only know that you will be rewarded for your kindness and you will be punished for your grudges. If you are not cruel, you will not stand firm. I almost died in his hands. Logically speaking, I should kill you quickly, but he is the younger brother of Concubine De, and I cannot kill him. Cut off one of his ears to show punishment. I think there is nothing wrong with it."

Li Mu turned around and looked at Concubine Yin De and said, "What do you think the Empress?"

"No, that's right."

Concubine Yin De was also attracted by Li Mu's aura and was so scared that she couldn't speak. However, Empress Changsun calmed down and glared at Li Mu, and helped Concubine Yin De away. She was also taking advantage of the donkey and staying there. Would she turn against Zheng Guanyin?

More than half of the people left, the hall became quiet. Li Chengqian looked at the ears on the ground, then looked at the blood-stained sword, and felt very passionate.

This is a real man, please avenge him! When will I be able to do such a heroic act like my elder brother?

Li Mu did not forget the purpose of entering the palace today. He took advantage of his back to Zheng's mother and daughter, and winked at Li Shimin, and suddenly fell to the ground.
