Li Mu took the jade Ruyi and looked at it, put it next to him casually, and said, "Since it is a family heirloom, why do you have to take it out, if I accept it, wouldn't it be a favor for others?" ”

"No, no, no, it's a sincere gift from the lower officials!"

Li Mu smiled, picked up Yu Ruyi, handed it back, and said: "Your intentions, Ben Hou already knows, but this family heirloom, you should take it back, Ben Hou is not short of money, and he also hates this style of bribery and bribery!" ”

Yuwen Gui didn't answer, and hurriedly said: "My lord, the lower official has no such intention!" ”

"Take it back too!"

Seeing that Li Mu lowered his face, Yuwengui had no choice but to take Yu Ruyi, sighed as if he was mourning, and planned to leave.

"Wait a minute."

Hearing Li Mu's voice, Yu Wengui hurriedly raised his head, as if grasping the last straw, and said, "What do you command?" ”

"Hmm...... What happened in the court today, you must have heard about it, right? ”

Yuwen Gui hesitated for a moment when he heard this, he wasn't sure what Li Mu was thinking, but this was the time to show his loyalty, so he didn't allow him to think about it, and said, "My lord, the lower officials have heard about it." ”

Li Mu glanced at him and said, "What do you think?" ”

Yu Wengui said without hesitation: "Xiaguan was impressed by the courage of adults, and he didn't hide it, Xiaguan was also born poor. After more than ten years in the office, he has been repeatedly suppressed by the family of gate valves, and he has not been promoted for nearly ten years. Your Majesty's actions today are really a bad breath for the world! ”

"You can think so, Ben Hou is very pleased." Li Mu said: "Although there is a little dirt between you and Ben Hou. But what Ben Hou explained to you, you did quite well. Therefore, Ben Hou will not care about the previous small mistakes with you. Just now you said that you have been in the company for more than ten years, so in this way, when you were in the previous dynasty, you were already in the office? ”

Yuwen Gui said: "Don't dare to hide it, the lower officials and the Yuwen family of the previous dynasty were in the same vein a few generations ago, otherwise there would not be such a good jade Ruyi." It's just that it's not a concubine but a concubine, and it doesn't have any light. In the previous dynasty, to participate in the imperial examination, into the Ministry of Industry, as a two-year chief, after the Emperor Taishang entered Chang'an, the Ministry of Industry and other irrelevant yamen, have followed the former dynasty officials, martial arts for three years, the lower official was promoted to the outside Lang, until today. ”

"Do you want to go further?"

Yuwen Gui was stunned for a moment when he heard this, his eyes burst out with a scorching light, his breathing became short, and he hurriedly said: "My lord, how can the lower officials not want to, it's just ......"

"After I was promoted to the position of Lang Lang, there was a vacancy in the position of Lang Zhong, and His Majesty did not appoint it for the time being, and still let me take care of it. I am afraid that the newcomers will not be in line with my heart and delay the matter at hand. If I come to recommend you, Your Majesty will think that you are my confidant, and nine times out of ten he will appoint you as the Ministry of Labor. ”

Yu Wengui knelt on the ground and said, "I am willing to drive for Lord Shilang!" ”

"What is this for, get up."

Yuwen couldn't regulate it, and Li Mu didn't care about him, so he let him kneel and continued: "Things are not said, they are done. When Ben Hou came to the Ministry of Industry, it was still a short time, and except for the Ministry of Industry, no one else had seen it once, and he couldn't talk about it. The Ministry of Industry is about to set up two new supervisors, one is the printing supervisor and the other is the agricultural equipment supervisor, which His Majesty attaches great importance to. Moreover, most of the affairs operated by these two prisons involve confidentiality, and only those who can be trusted can do so. ”

"I don't know much about the people in the Ministry of Industry, but you have served in the Ministry of Industry for many years, and you must know exactly who and what the background is. The official asks you to submit a petition for your name, and within three days, compile the details of all the officials serving in the Ministry of Industry into a book, and show it to Benhou for inspection. After that, Ben Hou instructed you to impeach some people, if you dare to do it, and you do it, your benefits are indispensable, but if you mess things up and go to jail yourself, it has nothing to do with Ben Hou. ”

As he spoke, Li Mu slightly accentuated his tone and said, "What Ben Hou said, do you understand?" ”

Yu Wengui has been immersed in officialdom for many years, how can he not understand what Li Mu meant, he was so shocked that he was drenched in cold sweat behind his back, and his clothes were already soaked. Suddenly, Yu Wengui felt a little dry mouth, licked his lips, and asked with difficulty: "My lord, what you said, the lower official can do it." It's just that how does the lower official know that after the success of the matter, the adult will not abandon the lower official? ”

Li Mu smiled when he heard this, and said, "Yuwen Gui, although Ben Hou can give you a reassuring pill to eat first, Ben Hou is unwilling to do this. You can see this as a big gamble, the gamble is the glory of the second half of your life, I have given you the opportunity, whether you dare to do it or not, it is your business. Ben Hou's subordinates, no waste, give you three days, if you can't finish it or dare not do it, three days later, Ben Hou will be replaced. ”

Yu Wengui stared at the young man in front of him, and couldn't believe that he had such a scheming and city government. The decision in front of him, no matter how he chooses, is a very difficult thing for him. Yu Wengui took a deep breath, got up and saluted, and said, "My lord, wait for the good news of the lower officials." ”

"Okay." Li Mu nodded with a smile, called for a send-off, and his own concierge came over and sent Yuwen Gui to the door.

Seeing Yuwen Gui leave, Li Mu returned to the back house. In the courtyard, there are a lot of green vegetables, and the maids are carrying them back and forth, Li Mu looked along the queue, only to find that there was a vegetable cellar hidden in the rockery in the courtyard. And the maids and ladies are transporting the green vegetables into the vegetable cellar.

Everyone was working, and only one person was sitting on the rockery and directing everyone, still holding preserved fruit in his hand, looking very comfortable.

"Li Zhien, you come down for me!"

"Yikes!" When Li Zhien heard Li Mu's voice, he was so frightened that the persimmon in his hand almost fell to the ground, and he hurriedly caught it, and he was afraid that Li Mu would see it, so he hurriedly turned his back behind him. At this time, Li Mu had already come to the front, stared at Li Zhien, and said, "Everyone is working, why are you lazy?" What did you just eat? Take it out! ”

"No, nothing......" Although Li Zhien can speak Guanzhong, and since coming to Zhuluhou Mansion, Guanzhong's words have become more and more slippery, and she is no different from Chang'an locals on weekdays, but whenever she is nervous, she restores her Goguryeo flavor, which sounds like a unique 'cute' feeling, which makes people angry. Sometimes it doesn't work for others, but in front of Li Mu, he can repeatedly succeed, originally his anger was seven points, but after listening to her accent, it suddenly became three points, so that every time it was thunder and rain, Li Zhien was not really punished.

But this time, Li Mu was ruthless and decided not to let this little girl pass the test easily, and asked again with a tiger face: "What are you eating, don't you take it out?" ”
