"Please tell Your Majesty clearly, who kidnapped and who kidnapped?"

It was Wei Zheng who was questioning, and as a Zheng Sanpin, he was standing closer to Li Shimin. Li Shimin glanced at him and thought, what is this old guy going to do? It was impossible for him not to guess that it was Li Mu, and he had to find out about it-

Suddenly, Li Shimin was very happy and understood what Wei Zheng meant. Now this matter, the most suitable person to deal with is Li Mu, but Li Mu just went to Luoyang, and it was a little inappropriate to recall him, it happened that he caused trouble over there, and he was recalled to ask for guilt, and by the way, he solved this matter, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

But after thinking about it again, if this matter is really handled like this, wouldn't the emperor be smiling and generous?

Not......

Li Shimin suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a solution. If you don't call back to ask for sin, won't it be over if you bring back to watch the ceremony? Thinking of this, Li Shimin said indifferently: "It's not a big deal, Li Mu just arrived in Luoyang, and there was a little friction with Shouyang Hou, just as the coronation ceremony of Tian Khan is approaching, I plan to call them back, they are not outsiders, and there is a contradiction to adjust." ”

Shouyang Hou?

When everyone heard the name, a question mark popped up in their heads. Although Dou Ren is Li Shimin's uncle, he really has no sense of existence, but Wei Zheng knows this person, and the gossip about him has already been collected by Yushitai, just because he is Li Shimin's uncle, and Yushitai's previous firepower is mainly aimed at Li Mu's body, so it has not been mentioned, and now that he talks about it, he actually feels that if there is a conflict between Shouyanghou and Li Mu, the wrong person should be Shouyanghou instead of Li Mu. Although Li Mu was a little arrogant, he had never done the things that Shouyang Hou did.

Thinking of this, Wei Zheng stood up again and said, "Your Majesty, here is the impeachment of the Marquis of Shouyang——"

"Alright, Wei Aiqing." Li Shimin interrupted Wei Zheng's words and said, "The merits will be clear when the two of them arrive in Chang'an." I'll leave this matter to you to investigate. After that, without waiting for Wei Zheng to say more, he said: "I haven't thought about Tubo's request for peace yet, so tell the prince of Tubo that in a few days, I will give him an answer." ”

"Retreat." Gao Gonggong shouted sharply, and the hundred officials sent him off, and Li Shimin strode and left the Liangyi Palace.

On the way back to Taiji Palace, Li Shimin asked Gonggong Gao, "What is the reason for Li Mu's conflict with Shouyang Hou?" He won't go to Luoyang and know that Shouyang Hou is my uncle, so he is looking for trouble with him, right? ”

"This ......" Gao Gonggong didn't know how to explain, the actual situation was really similar to Li Shimin's guess, Gao Gonggong pondered for a while, and pondered: "Your Majesty, the situation is like this, after Li Mu arrived in Luoyang, he wanted to buy a mansion to settle down, but no one was willing to sell it to him, and no one visited him and hung him up." Li Mu was unhappy, and you know his temper, so he found someone to be angry. ”

"Angry?" Li Shimin frowned; "So, he's still looking for my uncle?"

"Maybe not-" Gao Gonggong said stubbornly: "Some gossip collected, it is said that he wants to find the most arrogant person in Luoyang, Shouyang Hou's behavior on weekdays, somewhat of this meaning, Li Mu found him." It shouldn't be because of his relationship with His Majesty, if someone else is changed, it should be the same, when did Li Mu put whose identity in his eyes. ”

Li Shimin glanced at Gonggong Gao and said, "Listening to what you mean, it seems that you are admiring him." ”

"The old slave doesn't dare."

"There's nothing to dare to, Li Mu, this kid, does have the ability to be admired." Li Shimin sighed with emotion, and asked again: "This little uncle of mine, is his behavior really so bad on weekdays?" ”

"This ......" Gao Gonggong said carefully: "The old slave does not dare to criticize, but according to the news received, although there is no great evil, it is also a little unbearable, there are extravagant and wasteful situations, and because of his status as a royal family, no one dares to provoke it is also true." ”

"Heh," Li Shimin sneered and said, "The fox and the fake tiger are really not exempt when it comes." ”

Gao Gonggong couldn't guess Li Shimin's mind and didn't answer.

"Pass on my message, let Zongzheng Temple check the registered royal relatives, I want to know how everyone's virtue is, those who are too stubborn-" Li Shimin paused and said: "Demote the lord as appropriate, and those who violate the law of the country will be reduced to the rank of the lord until they are demoted to the common people, and they must not be favoritism!" ”

Gao Gonggong was just about to persuade him, but he heard Li Shimin add: "This matter is handed over to the prince!" ”

Hearing this, Gao Gonggong immediately held back the words that came to his mouth. If this is the emperor's way of training the crown prince, he is a eunuch, and everything he says is wrong. Suddenly, he remembered Li Chengqian's current situation, and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, if you summon the crown prince back now, I'm afraid it's a little troublesome?" ”

Li Shimin wondered: "What trouble? Suddenly he remembered that he hadn't seen his son for a long time, so he stopped and asked, "You just remembered what the prince has been doing lately?" Why I don't seem to hear from him for a long time? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the prince is still in the Chengguan Brigade, and he has been promoted to the captain of the squad for his merits, and he is in charge of the security of a square. For three months in a row, the assessment and evaluation were all first-class, and they were full of enthusiasm. ”

"What about being a chengguan?" Li Shimin frowned and said, "This kid is addicted to being a city manager?" Isn't the prince right? What about his schoolwork? Are you done? ”

"It's all done very well, in order not to delay the affairs of the city management, the prince picks up the lamp every day and reads it at night, and the masters are full of praise, and they can't find anything wrong, so they acquiesce to him."

Li Shimin was a little speechless, pondered for a long time, and said: "What's going on, I asked him to study hard, he never listened, and now in order to be a city manager, he took the initiative to learn, what kind of ecstasy soup did Li Mu pour into him, which can make him so convincing - just go and tell him that since the schoolwork is done well, I will give him a vacation, no need to study for the time being, and use the time for reading to sort out the affairs of Zongzheng Temple, the chengguan side, he likes to do it, so continue to do it." ”

"Your Majesty is wise."

"What's wise, my own son, I can't understand it." Li Shimin shook his head and stepped into the Taiji Hall, Gonggong Gao stayed outside the door, carefully closed the door, and arranged for someone to pass it on according to Li Shimin's instructions.

……

Luoyang City.

Li Mu asked Dou Ren to write an invitation to the leading figures of Luoyang City, some people came to give face, some people did not give face, they did not refuse, but they did not come. Luoyang City was divided into three kinds of opinions at once, one is pro-Li Mu, such people are mainly nobles and ordinary businessmen, the other is far Li Mu, such people are mainly from the gate lord clan, and the other is indifferent and not active, such people have all sides, and most of the businesses they do are rarely affected by external conditions, and they think that Li Mu's attitude towards them has little impact.

After the banquet, Li Mu came out of Dou Ren's mansion and went directly to the Luoyang County Ya.

The county magistrate surnamed Lu was beaten by Li Mu and his face was swollen, and all of them were cleaned up along with his family members. Luoyang County Government was as if it had been looted by robbers, except for the house, which was not demolished, everything else was demolished, and together with this unlucky county order, it was thrown into the street by Li Mu.

At the same time, a notice was posted at the entrance of the county office. This Luoyang county magistrate, the official of the imperial court, has been dismissed.

Luoyang is the accompanying capital, and the Luoyang County Order, like the Chang'an County Order, is a five-grade official position, but it is not comparable to the seven-grade county order of Mayi. The five-rank official position, placed in Chang'an City, is also the rank of the six Lang, how can it be easily dismissed? But in Luoyang, such a thing happened, Li Mu unilaterally announced the appointment and dismissal of a Wupin county order without passing the impeachment of the officials.

It is reported that when Lu Xianling heard about this, he vomited three liters of blood on the street, and swore not to avenge this revenge and swore not to be a person.

No one particularly cares about what the Lu County Order says. Although he is a five-rank official, he is also a county magistrate in the end. In the eyes of the major forces, his role is far inferior to that of Liubu Langzhong. But in Luoyang City, which is considered to be the 'base camp' of the Fan Yang Lu family, there was such a slap in the face, and everyone was waiting to see what kind of reaction the Lu family would give.

Li Mu is also waiting.

At the banquet in Dou Mansion, no one from the Lu family appeared. As the most powerful force in the earth's head snake, such a faceless loss has already explained the problem.

When he was in Chang'an, the Fan Yang Lu clan, the Xingyang Zheng clan, and the Boling Cui clan were always anti-Li Mu. They have indeed suffered a lot of losses, and many forces in Chang'an, because of Li Mu's relationship, are gradually giving up, and they seem to be declining, but they are only limited to Chang'an City, and they are not weak at all in other places.

Let's just say that the resources of Luoyang, when they gradually withdrew from Chang'an, through various methods such as replacement, they had already exchanged a lot of Luoyang's resources from the hands of the Li clan of Zhaojun, the Wang clan of Taiyuan, and the Cui clan of Qinghe, and in this Luoyang City, the advantages of the three were very obvious.

If Li Mu wants to control the city, it is absolutely impossible without the support of these three families. But looking at the current situation, Li Mu wanted to talk to the Lu family, but there was no channel. So he was waiting, he could only wait, he couldn't break into the Lu family's mansion like he broke into the Dou Mansion. The situation is different, the method he used on Dou Ren and on a family like the Lu family may not be effective, but it will make people look down on it.

"Wait-" Li Mu glanced at the sky and said to Su Dingfang: "Arrange a few more people to patrol the night tonight, I'm worried that there will be changes." ”

Su Dingfang bowed and said, "The last general understands." ”

After speaking, Li Mu turned around and entered the house. Bai Qiaoqiao had already fallen asleep, Jin Chen was waiting for him, and when he saw Li Mu enter the house, he brought water to wash his feet. She squatted down and was about to help Li Mu take off her socks, but was stopped by Li Mu. He grabbed Jin Chen's wrist and asked her to sit on the side, and said: "You don't have to be lighthearted, although you have treated me badly, but when you decided to die for me, these bad things were all returned, you are by my side, and you are not a maid, you don't need to do these things, and I also have hands and feet, do you need someone to do it for me?" ”

"I just don't know what I can do for you." Jin Chen pursed his lips and said, "I don't know what use I have by your side." ”

Li Mu put his feet in the hot water, and he screamed when it was hot: "Who said that there must be something to use to stay by my side?" You've also talked a lot with Qiaoqiao these days, which of the women next to me stayed with me because they were useful to me? ”

"They're not like me."

Li Mu looked up at her and said strangely, "What's the difference?" ”

"They didn't hurt you, but I-"

"Hey." Li Mu took the hand towel, wiped his feet, and said, "What is harm, if I cared about it, I would have left you a long time ago." Don't mention this matter in the future-" Li Mu suddenly stopped and glanced at Jin Chen, Jin Chen was stunned for a moment, got up and came to the bedside, the short dagger in his hand was unsheathed, and Bai Qiaoqiao was faintly protected behind him.

Li Mu opened the musket safety in his sleeve, raised his arm and pointed to the beam, and said, "Where did the thief Arhat come from, eavesdropping on other people's husbands and wives talking at night, don't you know how to be ashamed or ugly?" What kind of hero is the one who hides his head and shows his tail, if you have the courage to come down and see it, don't be afraid! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a man suddenly fell from the roof, and fell to the ground, with a big hole in the back of his neck. Immediately afterwards, the sound of fighting sounded, and the roof, outside the house, were all screaming.

Although Li Mu has worked hard, he has abolished it himself, at best, he is just a young man with a sturdy body, this kind of scene of swords, swords, and shadows fighting and killing, he is still a little afraid, mainly because Bai Qiaoqiao still has a child in his belly, and he is worried that he can't take care of it.

"Su Lie! Where did death go, Lao Tzu's life is going to be gone! ”

No one responded, Li Mu rushed to the door and looked out, there were a lot of guards in the courtyard between them, and Su Dingfang was also among them, but there was no blood on his body, but it seemed to have been turned over by smoke.

"Husband, what's going on outside?"

"It's okay, you two hide in the corner first, I'll take a look." Li Mu appeased Bai Qiaoqiao, pulled out Shang Fang's sword and rushed out. Outside, two groups of men in black were fighting, but it was gradually coming to an end, and it was clear that one side was going to lose. Looking at the roof again, a familiar figure tossed and turned, a pair of three did not fall behind at all, and wherever the sword light went, blood was flying, and the speed of the move was getting faster and faster.

"Xiao Jiu'er, are you coming? You're here, who took over from Jinyiwei? ”

No one responded, and the battle of the men in black was quickly decided, and under the roar of the men in black on the roof, the remaining men in black who were still alive all performed light skills and jumped out of the wall without a trace.

Li Mu was about to carry the kung fu of 'watching the fire from the other side' in the Holy Fire Order to catch up, but his martial arts had been abolished, and his true qi could not be raised, so he jumped up and fell down half a meter, he stood at the door and shouted, Dugu Jiu did not look back, as if he had not heard it at all.
