Chapter 398: Letter of Guarantee?


Yu Zhining is a smart person, and when he heard this, he understood that Li Mu guessed his intention, "Your Highness doesn't have to generalize, although there are traitors in the court, but after all, there are many righteous people, and this is why there is a prosperous era of Zhenguan."

Li Mu said with a slight sneer: "In the prosperous era of Zhenguan, a small-scale drought, tens of thousands of people starved to death in Jiangnan Dongdao Mu has heard a sentence, justice will indeed not be absent, but it is often late." ” Yu Zhining repeated Li Mu's words and sighed: "Your Highness's words. ” "The old man has seen countless good officials in his life, but a person in the royal family like His Royal Highness has only seen it in this life.

The old man admired" Li Mu said with a smile: "Yu Gong praised it, Mu is the governor of Hangzhou, disaster relief and people, and it is not worth mentioning." ” "yes."

Yu Zhining sighed, "If all the officials in the world are like His Royal Highness, and take this matter as a matter of their duty, why worry about the world is not peaceful, why worry that the Tang Dynasty is not strong" Li Mu said: "In fact, there are still many good officials in the world, such as Fang Gong and Yu Gong in the court, and in the local area, such as Shi Ningchun, the assassin of Yuezhou, they are no less than Mu." ” Yu Zhining didn't answer, but changed the topic and said: "Before His Highness did it, he didn't think that this move would be jealous of the imperial court, didn't Wei Tingshi advise His Highness."

This question was very abrupt, but Li Mu was not surprised.

Yu Zhining is an upright person, Li Mu has no obscure meaning, and everything must be said to others.

"What Yu Gong asked, Mu understands."

Li Mu asked calmly, "But if it is Yu Gong instead, how should you choose between the two in order to hide your strength and avoid the suspicion of the imperial court, would you rather ignore hundreds of thousands of people affected by the disaster?"

Yu Zhining glanced at Li Mu deeply, "Your Majesty has a message." ” Li Mu hurriedly got up and saluted: "Greetings to Your Majesty's will." ” "I want to change your name to the king of Donglai, what do you think?"

Li Mu was stunned, this is the end "Your Majesty's dictation is just this sentence" "Yes."

Li Mu was worried, and after being reminded by Wei Zheng, he was prepared.

I even thought about being dismissed from the prince, but I didn't expect Li Shimin to transfer himself out of Hangzhou in this way.

This oracle has already given himself enough face.

It stands to reason that I have to comply.

Otherwise, it is a disobedience to the decree, Li Mu naturally understands the intention of Li Shimin's move, this is for fear that he will openly resist the decree and cause turmoil in the government and the opposition, so that both sides have no way out.

The imperial court must put down the rebellion, and it itself must resist.

As a result, a civil war broke out, which neither Li Shimin nor himself wanted to see.

But how to respond It is impossible for Li Mu to leave Hangzhou now.

Yu Zhining saw Li Mu's face flickering, and sighed: "Your Highness can't act rashly, the people have just survived the drought, if they are dragged into the war again, it will ruin His Highness's previous good deeds, what good?"

There was a threat in these words, but Li Mu knew that this was not Yu Zhining's original intention.

But the reality is exactly like this, and the result of the rebellion will undoubtedly lead to the outbreak of war.

It was impossible for Li Shimin and the imperial court to allow their courtiers to resist the decree without reacting.

Otherwise, where is Li Shimin's face, and where is the face of the court Yu Zhining sighed and said: "I know that His Highness is embarrassed, but this is the will of the gods, and I must obey it."

However, I was thinking that if His Royal Highness could eliminate the suspicion in the emperor's heart, maybe things would turn around. ” Li Mu said bitterly: "Mu has no objection to occupying Jiangnan and standing on his own, but how can this kind of words win the trust of His Majesty?"

Yu Zhining said: "Why don't Your Highness personally write a letter, and clearly show the emperor the meaning of His Highness's words and what he thinks in his heart, the emperor has always favored His Highness, so that the current predicament may be reversed." ” Li Mu understood that this was equivalent to writing a letter of guarantee, signing his name, and then putting it with Li Shimin.

If he behaves irregularly in the future, Li Shimin will show this guarantee to others, look, this rebel minister doesn't say anything, and then raise the world's righteous teachers to discuss it.

Although Li Mu can't confirm whether this move has any effect, this may be the only way he can think of now.

Dead horses are treated as live horse doctors.

Li Mu bowed his hand to Yu Zhining and said, "Thank you Yugong for your guidance." ” So, Li Mu personally wrote a "letter of guarantee", stating his wish to build Hangzhou into the fourth major commercial city in the Tang Dynasty, and pointed out that to implement the export war strategy, a huge production material base is needed, and once again reiterated the placement of 50,000 palace maids.

In the end, Li Mu promised the "three noes", not to rebel, not to tear the soil, and not to withhold taxes.

If you do these three things, you are actually the biggest loyal minister of Datang.

If you can't win Li Shimin's trust, then there is no other way.

After writing this letter, Li Mu sealed the fire paint and handed it to Yu Zhining.

"Trouble Yu Gong to forward this letter to His Majesty, and at the same time hope that Yu Gong will say a few kind words in front of His Majesty."

Yu Zhining saw that Li Mu really wrote a letter, although he didn't know the contents, he was relieved.

He was afraid that Li Mu would act on a whim, and if he really acted irregularly, it would undoubtedly be an unprecedented disaster for Datang.

After seeing the Divine Guard, Yu Zhining was even sure that once Li Mu raised his banner and stood on his own, the Jiangnan of the Tang Dynasty would be eroded.

After this drought, it is self-evident that people's hearts are turned against each other.

"Your Highness, rest assured, the old man will definitely present the public opinion of Hangzhou and His Royal Highness's loyalty to the emperor."

"Thank you."

That night, after Yu Zhining rested.

Li Mu talked to Wei Zheng and others about this matter.

Wei Zheng said: "What His Royal Highness needs now is time, this is a last resort, if this letter can resolve the emperor's suspicions, it should be the best policy."

Yu Zhining seems to have good intentions towards His Royal Highness. ” Li Mu nodded and said, "I think so too." ” Yu Zhining did not stay in Hangzhou for long, and resigned to Li Mu and others early in the morning of the third day.

Li Mu knew that Li Shimin was waiting for Yu Zhining's reply, so he didn't keep it.

Li Mu prepared 200 catties of tea, asked Yu Zhining to bring it to Li Shimin, and prepared another 10 catties for Yu Zhining.

Yu Zhining did not refuse politely, but accepted it generously.

This made Li Mu's good impression of Zhining one more point.

Although tea is not a very expensive gift, Yu Zhining accepted it to show an attitude.

When Yu Zhining was sent on the ship, the heavy rain that had been abused for seven days had gradually been put away.

Yu Zhining sighed: "Jiangnan Dongdao has experienced major droughts and floods in a row, and I am afraid that within three years, the people will not be able to recover." ” Li Mu smiled: "That's not necessarily. ” "What does Your Highness mean by this?"

"If we can build a large number of workshops in various states and recruit people who are living in difficulty, at most one year, the states in the eastern province of Jiangnan will be full of vitality again."

Yu Zhining frowned slightly and said: "But the stability of the world lies in agriculture, His Royal Highness blindly pursues commerce, even if commerce and trade are prosperous, there is no money and no food, it is not the old man's move to seek the country":
