Chapter 707
"Li Mu, don't talk nonsense-"
Li Shimin's voice was extremely low, and he was suppressed by Li Mu's voice: "——As everyone saw with their own eyes, it would be a joke to recognize his relatives by blood!"
Li Shimin closed his mouth, and he heard that Li Mu was looking for a repair. He didn't know how to cooperate, so the best cooperation was to watch Li Mu's performance without saying a word.
"You may wonder, this method of recognizing relatives has been passed down for hundreds of years. How could it be a joke? Did I, Li Mu, say this deliberately to survive?" Li Mu chuckled and said, "No, no! Everyone has a lot of contact with me, and they should know what kind of person I am, and I will never do something I am not sure about. The reason why I dare to recognise relatives is because I understand in my heart that this method can't be tested at all--"
"How do you know?" A voice appeared in the crowd. Li Mu looked over and said, "There were too many people to tell who was shouting. He didn't even look into it. He smiled and said, "This matter starts with a sword practice. I have two brothers, one is Dugu Jiu and the other is Li Chongyi. Everyone may have seen these two people. Once, the two brothers competed with swords and scratched their arms. They wiped blood with white cloth. Later, when they cleaned, I found that their blood actually melted."
"Dugu Jiu was born in Dugu family and was born in Longyou. Li Chongyi was from the Marine and was born on the shore of the Bohai Sea. One was in the east and the other was in the west. Looking at the figures of the two, you can see that they were not brothers. However, the blood of these two people could blend together. After I discovered this phenomenon, I felt very strange and became curious. I immediately tried it with my own blood and found that the blood of the three brothers could blend together."
"If the blood-combination method is true? Doesn't it mean that the three of us brothers are brothers? Of course, this is impossible." Li Mu talked happily and said, "Later, I specifically looked for books and studied them. I found that the method of recognizing relatives by dropping blood has not been clearly recorded in medical books of all dynasties. But how did this method be passed down? I searched through ancient books and finally found the context. The method of recognizing relatives by dropping blood is recorded in the miscellaneous historical theories. The Taoist priests of the Youfang were verbally passed on. To put it bluntly, it was just some people with unrighteous minds, who were just deceiving people's hearts and deceiving people's use in order to achieve some of their own goals." Li Mu glanced at Changsun Wuji and smiled, "I'm not talking about the uncle of the country. I guess the uncle must have been deceived by others and lost his original intention and did such unreasonable things."
Changsun Wuji's mouth squirmed, glanced at Li Shimin's gaze, gritted his teeth and squeezed out a smile, and said, "Yes, I was bewitched by the demonic Taoism, now I know I'm wrong."
"It's a great deal to improve your mistakes! The uncle doesn't have to take it seriously!" Li Mu said very generously. He waved his hand and asked his friend to take it down to the clean water basin. Seeing that Li Shimin was still worried, he looked at him for a while, and suddenly said: "To understand your doubts, let's do an experiment. After seeing it, everyone will know that what I said is true."
"Get ten basins of clear water!"
Li Mu shouted, and immediately a friend brought ten basins of clear water. Li Mu put the dagger next to him and said to everyone: "In order to prove that what I said is not false, I have predicted that there must be people present who are blood-fusion. Please stand up and let's try it out. We have to pair it up and choose people who cannot have blood relatives."
Seeing that no one moved, Li Mu said again: "I have tried this. Everyone stood up boldly to relieve their doubts, so as not to guess."
No one stood up, Li Shimin was a little anxious. Now the matter was not on Li Mu, but on him. If it could not be proved that blood-recognizing relatives was fake, he would not be Li Yuan's son. His orthodox throne would be subject to unprecedented doubts. Seeing that the matter was deadlocked, Li Shimin said to Eunuch Gao: "Go and call a few guards here!"
Eunuch Gao hurried out and soon brought a team of guards, totaling twenty people. These twenty guards could never be twenty brothers, and they were used to verify that they were extremely credible.
When everyone saw these armored guards, they understood what Li Shimin was doing today. If he had recognized his relatives today, it was found that Li Mu was Li Jiancheng's son, and these guards would have come in to get people. Seeing this scene, everyone would feel that Li Shimin was a little unauthentic.
I went to see Li Mu, but I didn't see any displeasure. Everyone praised in my heart, "What a young man, he is not as happy or angry as he is, can he pay back if he is in time?"
Li Shimin had the same idea in his mind. When things got to this point, he didn't know how to explain it, and he was really a little unrighteous. He looked at Changsun Wuji, who looked dark-faced, and felt aroused a sense of complaint towards him for the first time. Of course, he would not think that he was wrong, because it was Changsun Wuji's lobbying that made this scene happen today. If there was no Changsun Wuji - Li Shimin was suddenly stunned. He thought that when Wang Gui delivered the memorial anonymously, Changsun Wuji was also adding fuel to the fire. Could it be that the queen was really telling me that Changsun Wuji was just framed by Li Mu because of his own selfishness?
If so—
"Everyone saw it." Li Mu's voice came into his ears. Li Shimin looked over and saw that the twenty guards had cut their fingers and dripped blood into the basin of clear water. He looked carefully and found that among the ten basins of clear water, six pairs were blended together, and four pairs were not blended together. Six pairs were blended together, which was enough to prove the absurdity of the combined blood method.
"There are six pairs of people who are integrated here, and four pairs do not. Please tell me about these six pairs, where is their hometown and whether they are brothers with each other?"
Twelve people reported their homes one after another. Except for one pair from the same place, the other five pairs were all from the south and the north, not in the same prefecture, and there was nothing to do with each other. There was nothing to doubt about this. The transportation of the Tang Dynasty could not be compared with later generations. Most people, unless they joined the army and fought or went around in business, usually cannot leave a county in their entire lives. Even if one or two pairs of these five pairs may be brothers, the possibility of five pairs being brothers is basically zero.
But their blood is in harmony.
The facts are right in front of you and you cannot believe them.
Li Mu said loudly: "The absurdity of the blood combination method is enough to prove it. But in order to make everyone understand a little more, I can say more." Li Mu asked someone to take out a piece of white paper, write the words A, B, and C in it with a brush, and then said to everyone: "We studied this matter together when Sun Simiao and the miracle doctor were there."
The purpose of involving Sun Simiao is to increase credibility. Sun Simiao's reputation in Chang'an is comparable to a living Buddha and a true immortal. When it comes to medical skills, Sun Simiao said one sentence, which is worth ten thousand sentences from others.
"Doctor Sun mentioned something. He had read a note from an imperial doctor in the previous dynasty, which recorded the process of saving people twice. Once, a young man was bleeding too much. The imperial doctor was in a coma and used the blood of the living man to pierce his arm with a reed tube to transfusion blood for him. This person was saved. But not long after, another young man also had excessive bleeding. When the imperial doctor gave him blood, he killed him."
"The imperial doctor didn't understand why, so he devoted himself to researching it. Finally, he discovered that the blood that seemed to be the same was actually different. For example, some people have blood A, some people have blood B, and some people have blood C. Two people have blood A, and there will be no problem with blood transfusion, while two people have different blood transfusions, but two people have blood transfusions."
"This is the fusion and non-fusion of the combined blood method. The blood that can be fusion cannot represent kinship. It can only mean that the blood of these two people is a kind of blood. My blood is the same as Your Majesty's blood, so our blood is fusion, but Your Majesty's blood is not the same, so it is not fusion. In other words, if the Supreme Emperor loses too much blood, neither my and Your Majesty's blood will save the life of the Supreme Emperor, but that's all, and it cannot prove whether there is a kinship between each other!"
"You can also think about it. Throughout history, the so-called method of recognizing relatives with blood was not used on the right path. It was all just bewitched by evil people. The reason I said this is because there is no method of recognizing relatives with blood in this world!" Li Mu broke out another heavy punch, he glanced at Changsun Wuji and continued, "It is not just the method of combined blood, but the method of recognizing bones."
"I don't know if you have seen bones," Li Mu glanced at him for a week and said loudly: "I have seen them! And I have seen them not long ago. In the desert, you can see the bones buried in the desert by walking a few miles. Those bones are eroded by wind and sand. If you look closely, there are even tiny holes in the bones. Such bones, let alone drop human blood, will also seep in the blood of cows. If you don't believe it, you can give it a try!"
Everyone was talking about it. Some military generals, such as Li Shimin, Qin Qiong and others, had seen bones. Li Mu had never said it before, but after hearing Li Mu's words, they recalled what he had experienced, as Li Mu said, turning into bones after death, can indeed seep into blood.
It turns out that the bloody recognition of relatives that have been circulated for hundreds of years is an absurd scam! It is ridiculous that people in the world regard it as the standard!
Seeing that everyone was relieved of their doubts, Li Shimin walked over and looked at Li Mu, and wanted to bow to salute him. Li Mu could not make him really bend over. He hurriedly supported him and bent lower himself, and said, "Your Majesty, what are you doing? I am a traitor!"
"No, Li Mu, I'm ashamed to kill me!" Li Shimin said apologetically: "You are a loyal minister, I am a foolish monarch!" He untied the sword on his waist, handed it to Li Mu, and said, "This is the Shangfang sword you handed back to me. I will give him to you again. I hope you can forgive me. In front of so many people, I swear to the sky and will never doubt each other in this life."
"Your Majesty, this-" Li Mu looked at the Shangfang sword in his hand, sighed, and suddenly pulled out the sword: "This sword is excellent, I dare not deceive Your Majesty. After I got this sword, I really couldn't let it go. When I returned it to Your Majesty, I felt very reluctant to let it go. But Your Majesty, are you just so confident in handing it to me?"
Li Shimin said confidently: "I have known my mistakes. From now on, I will feel at 100 peace of mind for you."
"I am Meng Lang, I don't know the importance of it. Shang Fang's sword first and then report it. If you kill the wrong person, wouldn't your Majesty blame him?"
"Blame blame is also a matter of the future. I believe you won't do anything randomly."
"That's not necessarily." Li Mu suddenly turned around, the sword light flashed, and the sword tip pointed at Changsun Wuji. Everyone was so scared that they shivered. Li Shimin subconsciously extended his hand and grabbed the sword blade. The sharp blade cut through his palm, and blood flowed down the sword body.
Li Shimin could feel the force of Li Mu stabbing forward, so he did not let go. Although Changsun Wuji did something that disappointed him this time, he was a friend who grew up since childhood, after all, he was his queen's elder brother and the uncle of the current dynasty. He could not let Li Mu kill him, whether it was friendship or family affection.
"Li Mu--" Li Shimin looked at Li Mu, with a hint of pleading and warning in his eyes.
"What is Your Majesty doing? I'm just a joke." Li Mu suddenly laughed, relaxed his strength, and Li Shimin also let go of his hand. Eunuch Gao quickly tore off his clothes and wrapped Li Shimin's injured hand.
Li Mu took back the Longquan Sword, which was stained with Li Shimin's blood, looked at Changsun Wuji, who was bloodless, and said, "Is it scared? I really don't panic. Although the boy was a little bit erratic and arrogant, he also knew what he could do and what he could not do. However, the uncle seemed to be a little confused. I would encourage him to do this sentence with the uncle. If the uncle doesn't understand it again, I will sacrifice my life and let the uncle understand it."
Li Mu's lips curled a sneer, turned to face everyone, and said, "Tomorrow, I will leave Chang'an and rush to Luoyang to take office. Your Majesty asked me to be the Luoyang Order, and I will do the Luoyang Order well. I will work hard to make Luoyang a prosperous like Chang'an, of course, this is also indispensable to the help of all elders. Before today, many things happened, which is right and wrong, and the boy doesn't want to delve into it. I also ask everyone to help me pass on a message, no matter whether it was an enemy or a friend before, I will not count it after today. When I arrive in Luoyang, if I can come to help, I will be my Li Mu's friend."
