In the blink of an eye, Li Mu had been squatting in the prison of Dali Temple for three days.

At the beginning, Li Shimin pretended not to care, what to do, and adopted an attitude of ignoring it. But as time passed, Li Mu didn't mean to beg for mercy, which made him a little uncomfortable.

That's not right, it's not what I imagined!

Could it be that the queen's clever plan has failed?

No, no, no! Li Shimin denied this idea, everyone is a man, and they all came over from the time when they were newly married Yan'er, he has experienced that kind of taste, and he doesn't believe that Li Mu can hold back.

Could it be that time is still short?

I'm afraid that's the only explanation.

Boy, if you are hungry, then I will accompany you to spend it, and see who can survive whom!

Li Shimin made up his mind, and his thoughts stabilized again. But he couldn't ignore it, he was very curious about what Li Mu was doing these days. Li Shimin glanced at the father-in-law Gao who was standing next to him with his hands tied, and secretly said in his heart, this old thing is becoming more and more eyeless. If I don't ask, you won't tell? I can't know my mind anymore!

Of course, substitutions are impossible. Gao Gonggong has been on the side for many years, and there is no credit and hard work, and most of the time it is still very easy to use. This man, when he does not know anything, he needs to be beaten. Li Shimin's eyes rolled and he cleared his throat.

Gonggong Gao noticed Li Shimin's gaze, but he didn't guess what it was? Why did Your Majesty come to see it? Hungry? No, just had lunch? Is it thirsty? No, Your Majesty has a teapot at hand, brewing flower tea from heaven and earth, the fragrance can be smelled from afar, and it is still steaming? Not hungry or thirsty, but who are you summoning?

When Gao Gongcheng was thinking wildly, he heard Li Shimin's voice clearing his throat, hurried up, and asked, "Your Majesty, do you have something to tell the old slave?" ”

Li Shimin picked up a letter and shook it in front of Gao Gonggong's eyes without leaving a trace, Gao Gonggong was stunned for a moment, didn't know what it meant, and said: "Your Majesty, but you are tired of reading it?" ”

Li Shimin secretly scolded a fool in his heart, but he didn't say it directly, and said: "Alas! Yuan Tiangang went to Huining for a few days. ”

That's what it was! Gao Gonggong thought that he understood what Li Shimin meant, and hurriedly replied: "It's been a few days since I returned to Your Majesty. But Huining is far away from Chang'an, and it is estimated that it has just arrived. I think that if there is a piece of Yuan Daochang's recital back, it will be three or four days later, Your Majesty should not be in a hurry. ”

Why doesn't this dog slave understand what I mean!

Li Shimin gritted his teeth angrily, made his words a little clearer, and said, "When this Yuan Tiangang was here, I didn't think he was very important. But when he left, I suddenly felt like I had become deaf and blind. I don't even know what is going on. Recently, what has happened in Chang'an City? ”

Gonggong Gao blinked his eyes and thought to himself, Your Majesty, there is something in your words! What is the difference between when Yuan Tiangang is there and when Yuan Tiangang is away? Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Gonggong Gao's head, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "Your Majesty's meaning, the old slave understands." Your Majesty, when Yuan Daochang left, he arranged for someone to send news to the palace every two days, and everything was as usual on Mrs. Peony's side, Your Majesty could rest assured. If there are idle people approaching, the old slave will definitely inform His Majesty. In the past few days, in addition to taking care of business, Mrs. Peony has gone to the prison to see the ...... of Zhuluhou"

When Gonggong Gao said this, he paused, patted his head, and quickly fell to the ground, saying, "Oh, Your Majesty, please forgive the old slave for being stupid and unable to understand Your Majesty's holy will." Your Majesty wants to know the news of the Zhulu Hou, the old slave knows, the old slave knows! I've been paying attention to it, but seeing that Your Majesty didn't ask, I thought that Your Majesty hadn't lost my temper yet, so I didn't dare to tell Your Majesty. Oh, the old slave is stupid, please punish Your Majesty! ”

Li Shimin glared at Gonggong Gao angrily, why did this old guy become more and more eyeless. When you say that, it's like I'm paying more attention to that kid! But when it comes to this, it's a bit stingy to cover it up. Li Shimin sighed and said, "Gao Gan, are you old and confused, you have been so slow to do things recently, how can I rely on you with confidence?" If you are overwhelmed, I will allow you to go back to your hometown to retire and find someone to replace you. ”

"Oh, Your Majesty, the old slave is not confused, not confused! I just didn't react for a while! Gao Gonggong knelt and climbed two steps, came to Li Shimin's feet, tears came as soon as he said it, and cried: "Your Majesty also knows the situation of the old slave, and there is no one in the old slave's house." It's all dead! Please leave the old slave by your side to serve, old slave ......"

"Okay, okay, okay! Get up! Li Shimin heard this with a pain in his head, and said, "Let's talk quickly, Mrs. Peony went to visit Li Mu?" When did it happen? ”

When Gonggong Gao heard this, his tears shrank back, got up and said, "It's the morning, Mrs. Peony went to visit the Marquis of Zhulu. brought a lot of food to Zhuluhou, in addition to that, it was also for business. The old slave received the news that Zhuluhou and Mrs. Peony partnered to open a ready-to-wear shop, but the old slave didn't know what was going on. ”

"Well......" Li Shimin nodded and said to Gao Gong: "This kid is okay, but he can distinguish things clearly, one thing is the same thing, and I am angry is angry, but he is still willing to do the things I explained." ”

Gao Gonggong hurriedly said: "Yes, the matter that Your Majesty explained, Zhuluhou has never made a mistake. As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, and said, "Your Majesty, there is another matter, the old slave has to tell Your Majesty." Yesterday afternoon, a sandalwood box was sent from Dali Temple. The old slave opened it and took a look, and guess what. It's actually mahjong, and it is said that it was carved by Zhuluhou in the past two days, do you want to see it? ”

"Yo, you really do what you say!" Li Shimin chuckled lightly and said, "Okay, I'm tired of watching the twists and turns, so I'll rest for a while." Bring the jade mahjong he offered to me to see. ”

"The old slave will go and get it."

Gao Gonggong said, turning to leave. After a while, he came back with a sandalwood box and gently placed it on the desk in front of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin only glanced at it and liked it. Not to mention the color of the jade, just this sandalwood box can be worthy of the words 'ingenious workmanship'. The whole sandalwood box, without a single tenon, was actually hewn out of a whole piece of sandalwood. Four dragons are embossed at four corners, and the body is decorated with moire. The most amazing thing is that the eyes of the four dragons are actually movable, such a carving skill, Li Shimin has never seen before.

"Yes, yes!" Li Shimin just looked at the box for a long time, and was amazed, and said: "If you want to say that Li Mu is a boy, his temper is a little stubborn, but this ability is real." This hand carving, there is no one else in the world! ”

"Your Majesty has good eyesight, when the old slave held it in his hand, he also watched it for a long time." Gonggong Gao stretched out his hand to help Li Shimin open the copper button of the sandalwood box, and said: "Look at this mahjong again, the mahjong carved by Zhuluhou himself is more exquisite than the set dedicated to the queen, I don't know how many times, it is really different!" ”

"Really?" Li Shimin aroused his curiosity when he heard this, and reached out to pick up a mahjong. Mahjong was originally put in the box upside down, just looking at the back is not unusual, but when he picked it up and saw the front, Li Shimin was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. This mahjong is also used with the same carving skills as the dragon with the four corners of the sandalwood box, and each mahjong is hollow and carved, which is breathtaking.

"This ......" Li Shimin has seen them one by one, and they are all the same skills. Even as an emperor, he had never seen such a treasure. After reading it, he sighed and said, "I just said it casually, but I didn't expect this kid to take it seriously." This set of jade mahjong is taken out individually, and the value is more than ordinary jade pendants. These more than 100 pieces, plus this carving, how much is it worth, it seems that Li Mu is right, I am really bullying children! ”

When Gonggong Gao heard Li Shimin say this, he opened his mouth and closed it again, as if he wanted to stop talking. Li Shimin noticed it and asked, "If you have anything to say, what's wrong?" ”

"Your Majesty." Gonggong Gao laughed dryly and said, "Your Majesty, the old slave is definitely not the platform for demolishing the Luhou. But there is one thing that the old slave feels must let His Majesty know. This carving is indeed carved by the Hou of Zhulu, but this jade is not bought by the Hou Ye himself. ”

"Didn't he buy it? Is that? ”

"Uh......" Gao Gonggong snorted and whispered: "It's from Zhuluhou!" ”

"Blackmail?" Li Shimin's eyes widened and said, "He is in prison, how can he blackmail?" ”

"That's what happened." Gao Gonggong explained: "Didn't Zhulu Hou tell His Majesty that he would work in prison, he, he really did that. Didn't he ask for a bribe, so he asked someone for a bribe. The jade used in this set of mahjong is ...... It was sent by the uncle's house. ”

"He even dares to blackmail auxiliary machines?" As soon as the words came out, Li Shimin couldn't wait to give himself a mouthful. This question is really brain-dead, Li Mu's kid is so muddy that even the emperor dares to shout, what is Uncle Guo? Not to mention that he is asked for it now, he will definitely dare to ask for it!

Suddenly, Li Shimin remembered one more thing, when he talked about mining profits for the first time before, it seemed that this kid had mentioned that he wanted to take bribes. At that time, Li Shimin also felt that the money of the gate valve was not taken for nothing, and he also set a twenty-eight account. Li Mu takes 20 percent, and the internal money is 80 percent. However, he remembered that he said at the time that he was going to act under the pretense of others, but he didn't expect that Li Mu, this kid, didn't even cover it up now, and reached out directly to ask for it. That's a ...... It's a bit of a shamelessness.

What made Li Shimin even more depressed was that he originally said that he wanted money from the gate valve, why did he start with his brother-in-law first? And most importantly, what about the eighty percent that said yes? This is not looking at the money, right?

Suddenly, Li Shimin looked down and saw jade mahjong, and said secretly in his heart, no, shouldn't this kid take this mahjong and count the eighty percent, and he will put the rest into his own pocket?

No way! Definitely can't be cheaper for him!

Li Shimin stood up and said, "How can you accept bribes!" No, I can't allow that to happen. Gao Gan, make arrangements, I want to go to Dali Temple and ask this bastard boy! ”
