Li Shimin was noncommittal, there was still a doubt in his heart that did not dissipate, so he just glanced at Li Mu and said, "Maybe." ”

When Li Mu saw Li Shimin's expression, he chuckled in his heart, he hadn't passed the test after so much talking...... No, what's wrong? Li Mu searched his mind, from the beginning to the present, and suddenly thought of a person, Yuan Tiangang!

If something goes wrong, it's probably on him. The shadow of the famous tree, Yuan Tiangang's name is too big, and it also involves mysterious things such as physiognomy and divination, which makes people feel bottomless.

Li Mu gritted his teeth and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing. ”

Li Shimin raised his eyes to look at him: "Huh? ”

"Your Majesty, the minister does not want to be such a villain who chews the root of his tongue behind his back. But just after hearing that His Majesty seemed to rely on Yuan Tiangang very much, the minister had to say it. Yuan Tiangang is this person...... Your Majesty must be on guard. ”

Li Shimin frowned and asked, "Why do I want to guard against him?" ”

Li Mu sneered, as if he had made up his mind, and said, "Because he is likely to be the son of Emperor Wen of the former Sui!" ”

Li Shimin smiled and asked, "How did you know this?" Could it be a dream? ”

Li Mu hurriedly shook his head and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, don't take the minister's words as a joke. Chen and Yuan Tiangang have no grievances or hatreds, and there is no need to frame him. The minister is ...... The minister, alas, the minister pleaded guilty. ”

"What are you going to confess?"

"The minister concealed it from His Majesty. When the princess Yicheng was killed that day, in addition to the jade seal of the country, the minister also found a letter, a letter that had not yet had time to be sent, when the minister was waiting for the army of his father-in-law, out of curiosity, he opened it and looked at it, and there was only one sentence on the letter, 'My sister went to Tuyuhun and chose the opportunity to move. Brother is on the emperor's side, be careful. The payment is a 'begging'. ”

Li Mu gestured for a moment, and said: "A circle was drawn on the envelope, and when the minister saw it, he was puzzled, and because he found the heirloom jade seal, he fell into great joy and got carried away, so he threw the letter away. Now that I think about it, I really shouldn't have been. Later, when the minister was supervising the work, Yuan Tiangang came with the emperor, and he scared the minister, saying that he knew the details of the minister. The minister was angry, and suddenly thought that Yuan Tiangang was also accompanying the emperor, and his surname was Yuan, and the circle was also round, so the minister wanted to scare him too. Just tell him, I know his details. ”

It was originally a joke, but Yuan Tiangang took it very seriously and asked the minister what he knew about him. The minister said that he was the son of Emperor Wen of the previous dynasty. After Na Cheng wanted to say this, Yuan Tiangang's face changed greatly, he turned pale in an instant, and cold sweat covered his cheeks, until the minister walked away, he was still standing in place in a daze. ”

"Although the minister can't conclude from this that Yuan Tiangang must be the 'brother' mentioned in Princess Yicheng's letter, Your Majesty must take some precautions, it is too dangerous."

"I see." Li Shimin muttered and said, "Li Mu, since you told me, I don't blame you." After all, this is a matter of chasing after the wind and shadows, and there is no empirical evidence. Li Mu, you have to remember that I hope you will do more practical things, and don't say this kind of thing to me in the future. ”

Li Mu hurriedly said: "But Your Majesty, the minister is worried about your safety......

Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "You are my courtier, Yuan Tiangang is also my courtier, I will judge if you are loyal and traitorous, don't mention this matter again, and don't talk about it to others." ”

Li Mu seemed to be very unwilling, sighed, and saluted: "The minister obeys the order." ”

"Okay, after talking about it for so long, you must be tired, so step down."

"The minister retired."

Li Mu turned to leave, and after a while, Gonggong Gao came in and said, "Your Majesty, Zhuluhou has gone away." ”

Li Shimin nodded, Gao Gonggong walked to a candlestick next to Li Shimin, grabbed the bronze base of the candlestick, and rotated it counterclockwise, the wall next to Li Shimin rotated, and a one-foot-wide gap came out, and a person walked out of the gap with his body sideways, it was Yuan Tiangang!

"Tiangang, did you hear what Fang Cai said?"

Yuan Tiangang nodded and said, "The minister heard clearly." ”

"You corresponded with Princess Yicheng, can you have such a secret detention?"

"It's uncertain, but it's all a figure that can be understood by each other at a glance, and it's very likely that the circle fork is also very likely."

Li Shimin groaned for a while, and then asked, "What do you think of the dream world that Li Mu said?" ”

"The minister thought that if it was made up, in a hurry, he should not be able to think of so many details. It can be seen that Li Mu must have seen it with his own eyes, but what he said, there is no one in my Tang Dynasty, nor is there any nearby country, it should be what he saw in his dream, and the minister felt that Zhuluhou did not lie. The minister has divined several times, and the hexagrams are the same, and the Hou of Zhulu should be a person with wisdom. It's just that this Su Hui has merged with him, and he can't tell what Su Hui brought and what he owned. This matter is also reasonable, Su Hui can't take the lead after all, otherwise he will be another person. And now that he has no memory and recognizes his relatives, it means that he is still Li Mu, not Na Su Hui, and the minister thinks it is a good thing. ”

Li Shimin sighed and said, "Although I have countless capable ministers and good generals, how many people can I really trust?" If you hadn't advised me to prepare early, I would have died under the arrows of the Nest Thorn King in Xuanwu Gate. Although the bad people under your command are scattered all over the place, their strength is still very weak after all, and they can listen to the news, and they will not play much role in major affairs. But this Li Mu is a person who can play a big role. If the Zhenguan plough alone is successful, the cultivated land in the coming year will increase by at least 30 percent, and in less than five years, the grain output of our Datang Dynasty will be able to recover to the heyday of the previous dynasty. ”

"It's just that such a person makes me have to be jealous! If he can be used by me all the time, I will be like a tiger, but if he is on the side of the gate valve family, it will be a big worry for me. ”

Li Shimin seemed to be saying to Yuan Tiangang, and he seemed to be talking to himself. But it can be seen that he has great trust in Yuan Tiangang and Gao Gonggong, otherwise he would not have talked about these things in front of the two of them. Yuan Tiangang didn't interject, just listened quietly. For such a major matter, the opinions of others have no effect, and the emperor must make an independent decision.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Shimin made a decision and said, "I have to use such a good talent." Pay close attention to the people in the gate valve who are close to Li Mu, and report at any time if there is any abnormality. ”

"No."

Li Mu came out of the imperial city and saw Tang Guan standing beside Li Chongyi at a glance. When Tang saw Li Mu, he hurriedly ran up, bowed to the end, and when he raised his head again, his eyes were full of tears, and he said excitedly: "Brother, the younger brother has been waiting here, and I want to admit my mistake to my brother face to face." Last time the little brother came to apologize, although he was convinced, but he was not convinced, today the brother is on the main hall to protect the little brother in every way, the little brother is moved inexplicably, and he is ashamed in his heart, this time the little brother is sincerely admitted to the brother is wrong, and please forgive the little brother......"

As he spoke, Tang Guan really shed tears, looking at him like this, Li Mu really couldn't bear to tell him the truth, everything he said on the hall just now was just to attack Kong Yingda, and it had nothing to do with Tang Guan, even if it was Sun Guan and Zhao Guan, what should he say or what he said. However, don't be in vain, Li Mu didn't deny it, responded vaguely, and continued to move forward.

Tang Guan looked very excited, and continued to make noise after him: "Brother, listening to my brother's words today is really better than reading for ten years." Today, after listening to my brother's words, I realized that the younger brother has so many advantages. If it weren't for the elder brother's order, maybe the younger brother would still be troubled by the fact that his studies were not as good as the same year......"

Li Mu suddenly stood down, turned around and said, "What did you say?" ”

"Huh?" Tang Guan was stunned for a moment and said, "The younger brother said that he was troubled by his studies......"

"The previous sentence!"

Tang Guan saw that Li Mu's face was wrong, and said a little vainly: "After listening to my brother's words, I know that the advantages of the younger brother ......."

"Hah!" Li Mu laughed and said, "That's it!" Tang Guan, I did find one of your advantages today...... Your cheeks are really thick! Do you really think I'm telling the truth, don't you look at yourself, Kong Yingda said it lightly, not only are you not good at studying, but you still don't learn anything, what advantages do you have? ”

Tang Guan was stunned for a moment, and said hurriedly: "Then why did my brother choose me to be the compiler?" ”

Li Mu patted Tang Guan on the shoulder and said, "Little brother, I didn't want to hit your self-confidence, but when I said that, I'll tell you the truth, you should also grow up." Anyone can do this compilation, as long as they are literate. I was just simply lazy, so I didn't choose someone, and it happened that you came, so I cheapened you. Don't take what I said today, don't take it seriously, the words that praise you are even more false, you have no merits, you are just a gentleman who does not learn and has no skills. ”

Tang Guan really cried now, and said, "Brother, you hit me too hard, even if the younger brother is really so unbearable, can you be tactful." ”

"Good medicine is good for disease, and good advice is good for action. Since you call me brother, I should take on the responsibility of brother, so that you can recognize your own catties clearly, so that you will not suffer losses outside in the future. ”

"Oh......" Tang Guan lowered his head, and the excitement just now was all gone.

"But don't be presumptuous, as long as you work hard, you can still make a little progress, just work hard."

Tang Guan was originally full of confidence, but when he heard Li Mu say this, he felt a little bottomless in his heart, and asked: "Brother, the younger brother now has to write a manuscript every day, how to write it?" ”

Li Mu climbed on the horse and said, "It's simple, the affairs of the court, the king, the ministers, the people, and the three are only." Between the monarch and the minister, between the loyal monarch, between the subjects, between the people, between the monarch and the people, persuade the monarch to love the people. Grasp these three points well, and you will not be able to make a mistake no matter how you write. ”

"Monarchs, subjects, monarchs and people......" Tang Guan chewed on Li Mu's words, and he couldn't react a little. By the time he was almost smooth, Li Mu had already walked away when he looked up. Tang Guan sighed: "Brother is brother, unfathomable, any word can make me feel empowered!" When will I be like him! ”

After saying that, he sighed again, shook his head and went home.
