Cheng Yanjin raised his eyebrows and smiled, he understood what Li Mu meant, but he couldn't pick up the stubble now. Because he is not alone, but represents the Cheng family. The Cheng family is not alone, he has six sons. Isn't he rushing to the end for the sake of his six sons? Although he is close to Li Mu and regards him as a nephew, he can still distinguish between distant and close relatives.

Li Mu's current limelight is unparalleled for a while, but it is not that there is no crisis at all, the events of the past few days have reminded him that Li Mu's talent has aroused the emperor's jealousy, and tying the Cheng family to him is a very risky thing.

Throughout the ages, there have been too many virtuous ministers who have not died well. Not because he did anything wrong, but because he did it too well. Today's emperor is a Ming monarch, and his civil and martial arts are all superior, but even such a monarch can't suppress Li Mu's edge, so when he is a hundred years later, the new emperor ascends the throne, Li Mu has full wings, and he will have the power to tilt towards the government and the opposition.

No emperor can ignore such hidden dangers, and even the most virtuous monarch cannot avoid them.

"Then wait, you kid has a bear heart and a leopard to dare to do something, I'm so old, let's be cautious."

Li Mu understood what Cheng Yanjin meant, didn't say anything, smiled, and opened the topic.

……

It is said that it is a party to protect itself, but it is so easy to form a party?

Li Mu thought that the relationship with the Cheng family was good, but as soon as he showed a little meaning today, Cheng Yanjin snorted haha - but Li Mu didn't blame him, Cheng Yanjin had his own difficulties, so big a family, Li Mu could understand.

However, if there is no strength of the Cheng family, Li Mu will not be able to marry him. But if he has the strength of the Cheng family, he will form a party with himself without hesitation. It's okay to say that there are two families, if there are so many three families and five families, Li Mu smiled bitterly, and said in his heart, isn't this just preparing to rebel? He is Li Shimin, and it is impossible to turn a blind eye.

It seems that there is no suitable solution for it.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is no so-called grudge between Li Mu and Li Shimin. Three words can be summed up, 'think too much'. It seems that that's all, even if it's because of life experience, if both parties can be honest, trust each other, and be open and honest, it doesn't seem to be a big deal. Because Li Mu knew that he was not Li Mu, he never thought about avenging Li Jiancheng at all.

But the question is, if he says it, will Li Shimin believe it? Will the people of the world believe it?

The revenge of killing his father is not shared, and everyone will subconsciously feel that if Li Jiancheng has descendants, it is impossible not to avenge him.

"Lao Tzu really didn't think about revenge...... How can you believe it? ”

……

Li Mu wanted to go back to Luoyang as soon as possible, but the matter on Chang'an's side could not be dealt with.

The Internal Affairs Office was handed over to the crown prince, and Li Mu thought that he could be idle, but Li Chengqian knew nothing about the Internal Affairs Office. The subordinate officials of the East Palace have some ability. But if they want to get involved in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is absolutely impossible. The 10 bureaus of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have a unified opinion on this point, that is, the Ministry of Internal Affairs must have its independence and cannot become a vassal of the East Palace. They are all talents 'cultivated' by Li Mu himself, and they are very proud in their hearts. The affairs of the Internal Affairs Office, not to mention the subordinate officials of the East Palace, are the bigwigs of the three provinces and six departments, let you do it, can you do it? This is not a matter of officials, it is purely a matter of ability, and if you don't understand anything, you will talk less.

But for the subordinate officials of the East Palace, they couldn't hold back if they didn't speak. The importance of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they know very well. The Internal Affairs Office was returned to the prince, which is the foundation of the prince in the future, and this foundation is still in the hands of the East Palace. If the Internal Affairs Office is compared to a small three provinces and six departments, the subordinate officials of the East Palace regard themselves as Shangshu Province, the center, and the brain, and the six departments have to be managed by us, otherwise the prince will ascend the throne in the future, who is the minister of planning, and who is the work of the dragon? Isn't it all in vain in the end?

For this reason, many contradictions broke out between the two sides, the public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and the quarrel was inextricable. Li Chengqian couldn't figure it out, so he had to find Li Mu and block him at the door of the craftsman's workshop when he was in the workshop.

Li Mu had heard about this matter a long time ago, and he had already decided to hand over the Internal Affairs Office to Li Chengqian, and the affairs of the Internal Affairs Office were planned to be left alone. But now that I was blocked at the door of the workshop, so many people around me were watching, no matter what it was, my mood was already extremely irritable.

It's not easy to handle.

In his heart, Li Mu naturally favors everyone in the Internal Affairs Office. But if he does this, he will inevitably provoke people's arguments, saying that he is clearly handing over power, but in fact he is still unwilling to let go, bullying the monarch and teasing the prince.

This is too wrong, if he had this thought, it would be okay if someone said so, but he really didn't have this thought, he really wanted to hand over the Internal Affairs Office, because the Internal Affairs Office was useless to him. People are not in Chang'an, remote control is too difficult, and it is not necessary. Now Li Mu is no longer pursuing the word 'right', but 'money', power is too dangerous for him, it is better to have money, after all, his system, the later he goes, the more money he 'eats', and the amount of money spent on any skill, if he wants to be promoted from a senior to a master, it will cost an astronomical amount.

Li Mu squatted on the wheel, watching the two groups of people arguing, and suddenly felt very funny, look at the faces of these people, full of benevolence and morality, but in fact, it is not for their own selfishness? But in comparison, it is better to be the sons and daughters of the Internal Affairs Office, at least they pay for it themselves, and the eating appearance of these greasy middle-aged people in the East Palace is a little ugly and disgraceful.

"Shut up—" Li Mu finally spoke, but his voice was a little quieter, maybe no one heard it, and no one paid attention to it. Li Mu was furious and shouted: "Shut up Lao Tzu!" "Well, now it's silent.

"You bastards!"

It was an indiscriminate range attack, everyone looked at each other, not knowing who Li Mu was scolding, suddenly, I saw Li Mu pointing his finger at the head of Changsun Chong, and said, "It's you who scold!" ”

Yu Zhining and the others let out a sigh of relief, with a face that they had won the lawsuit against their parents, and looked at everyone in the Internal Affairs Office triumphantly. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is naturally unconvinced, but more often than not, since the day the Ministry of Internal Affairs was established, they have been Li Mu's die-hard supporters, and even when the emperor wanted to kill Li Mu, he did not hesitate and insisted on petitioning. It can be said that he is loyal, but he didn't expect to face the people of the East Palace today, Li Mu turned out to be an outsider.

"I told you a long time ago that those who know the times are handsome. Although the Internal Affairs Office is very important, it also depends on who you compare with. This is the uncle of the East Palace, and the crown prince will ascend the throne in the future-" Li Mu glanced at the East Palace and stretched out his hand: "This may be the servant, that may be the Zhongshu Order, you offended them today, I can't think of a good death!" ”

What is the ......

How did it sound a little tasteless, the words of Yu Zhining and the others reached their throats, and they held it back again, looking at Li Chengqian one by one.

Li Chengqian was not stupid, so he naturally heard the dissatisfaction in Li Mu's words, and hurriedly said: "Big brother, my father is in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period, don't say that." ”

"Can't you say that?" Li Mu glanced at Li Chengqian, snorted, pulled out Shang Fang's sword, and knocked twice on the wheel: "Xu is prince doesn't think so, but I look at these subordinate officials in the East Palace, it seems that they are a little anxious." ”

When it comes to this, not refuting it is tantamount to acquiescence. Yu Zhining stood up and said, "How can Master Hou talk like this, isn't it for the sake of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

"Oh, for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, so you want to meddle in the affairs of the Internal Affairs Office?"

There is a hole in these words, of course Yu Zhining will not be so stupid to jump into it, thought for a while, and considered: "Since Your Majesty has appointed the crown prince to take over the internal affairs office, I will wait for the subordinate officials of the East Palace, so we will naturally do our best for the prince." ”

"Heh, do you remember that you are a subordinate official of the East Palace?" Li Mu lowered his voice coldly and said, "Just remember your identity, you are a subordinate official of the East Palace, and do a good job of the affairs of the subordinate officials of the East Palace." It's not your turn to take care of the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs—"

"Master Hou!" Yu Zhining was so excited that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he was about to argue, but Li Mu interrupted him and asked, "Don't be in a hurry to stare at you, let me ask you, is the Internal Affairs Mansion His Majesty's Internal Affairs Mansion or the Prince's Internal Affairs Mansion?" ”

"Naturally, it's Your Majesty's!" After Yu Zhining finished speaking, he argued again: "But Your Majesty is now handed over to the crown prince to manage—"

"Wrong!" Li Mu stared at Yu Zhining and said, "Your Majesty has never said that it will be handed over to the prince to manage, and it is right to hand it over to the prince, but let the prince learn, not point fingers!" ”

Li Mu snorted and said: "Of the ten bureaus of the Internal Affairs Bureau, which one eats white rice?" It is no exaggeration to say that every game is in charge. The directors and directors of each bureau are all first-class talents from Datang Technical School, and they are all protégés of Lao Tzu. I don't have the ability to do the things of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? If you want to meddle in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, let's take a look at your own catties first! ”

"Besides, their current positions are all sealed by His Majesty's Chrysostom. In other words, their abilities are recognized by His Majesty. It was His Majesty who made them hold their current official positions in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Why are you meddling? The crown prince is still the crown prince, and before he ascended the throne, you are going to blackmail the Son of Heaven to order the princes? I'm too anxious! ”

"We don't!"

"What did you do without you?" Regarding quarrels, Li Mu has never been afraid of anyone, he pointed at Yu Zhining and said, "Your Majesty asked the prince to go to the Internal Affairs Mansion, is it to give authority?" Definitely! What the prince needs is ability, and the prince used the pseudonym Li Yu to train in the urban management bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. His Majesty saw the effect, so he wanted the prince to make a name in the Internal Affairs Office, but in fact, he also experienced in the other nine bureaus to increase his knowledge. What do you think otherwise? Which function of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can be easily used? The crown prince is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? He's still tender! ”

Yu Zhining was anxious and said, "Li Mu, you are a vain minister, how dare you insult the prince like this?" ”

Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "Big brother said I should, he said it." ”

"Prince, this person has no courtesy! I'm going to reason with him! ”

Li Mu sneered: "I don't have the courtesy of a minister? There are witnesses, and I dare to say in front of Your Majesty that as early as last year, Your Majesty said that he would ask me to be the prince's teacher, and I didn't agree because, I am the same generation as the prince, and the prince is the prince, if I am his teacher, he salutes me, and there is something inappropriate, but if the prince wants to learn anything, as long as I can, I can teach him. This matter was said in front of His Majesty, and I have no courtesy? ”

"On the contrary, it's you, the prince said it himself, I said it, you still refute the prince, which of us has no courtesy?"

"I, I'm ......" Yu Zhining was speechless when he was refuted, knelt in front of Li Chengqian, and said hurriedly: "Prince, the minister doesn't mean what he said, the minister-"

Li Chengqian is not ignorant at all, he also knows that Yu Zhining is for his own good and wants to fight for a little more benefits for himself in the Internal Affairs Office. But in the face of Li Mu, even if he has this thought, there is nothing he can do. The Internal Affairs Office was brought out by Li Mu, and it was also proposed by him that he handed it over to himself. Now if he says not to himself, maybe this matter will be yellow, and he has nothing to do with it.

"Get up and listen to what the eldest brother has to say."

Yu Zhining got up, didn't dare to talk to Li Mu again, and retreated behind Li Chengqian.

There is a way to beat a stick to give a sweet date to eat, and seeing that he is also honest, Li Mu can't do things absolutely.

"Each bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has its own rules and regulations. The person who uses it must also be qualified. In addition to the Urban Management Bureau, the people used by the other Nine Bureaus must be graduates of Datang Technical School with excellent grades, and if they do not meet the graduation standards of Datang Technical School, no one can insert themselves into the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there is no shortage of people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I'll put my words here today, if you don't accept it, you can go to Your Majesty to impeach me, and see if Lao Tzu cares. ”

"Your subordinates of the East Palace, if you want to meddle in the affairs of the Internal Affairs Office, you can! Go to Datang Technical School for the exam, and according to the test results, you will be assigned to each bureau. The position of the director is appointed by His Majesty, and you don't have to think about it. In the future, in the Internal Affairs Office, act according to the rules, if anyone should not say nonsense, if there is nothing to do, they will point fingers, rely on their background in the East Palace to act recklessly, ugly words are ahead, be careful of your head! ”

After speaking, Li Mu added another sentence and said, "Even if it is the prince, it cannot be an exception." The ten bureaus of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are like ten courses, and now the Urban Management Bureau is considered to have graduated, and the other nine bureaus, the prince has to take exams one by one, and practice one by one, and when will the prince of the ten bureaus be proficient in the affairs, and the Internal Affairs Office will be truly handed over to the prince! ”

When Li Chengqian heard this, his eyes suddenly turned black, and he muttered: "Big brother, what you said is true, how long will it take——"

"How long is not too long, a year is not a five, five years is not a decade. Your Majesty is in the prime of spring and autumn, and there is time for you to learn! After that, Li Muzuan returned to the car, and the voice came out: "Get out of the way of Lao Tzu, who dares to stop Lao Tzu's car again, no matter what the reason, directly chop it up and feed it to the dog!" ”
