East Palace.

Li Shimin was worried, and Li Jing's army sent back a letter, and in seven days, at most ten days, the army was about to return to the court. In other words, Jieli is going to be escorted to Chang'an. The Turks have always been a major problem for the Central Plains Dynasty, and the monarchs of several dynasties have not been able to really destroy them. And Jieli Khan, can be said to be one of the sworn enemies of the two generations of monarchs of the Tang Dynasty, this time to destroy the Turks, capture Jieli, such great achievements, according to the etiquette system, to the Taimiao sacrifice capture.

Here's the thing, although Li Shimin has now ascended the throne and is the emperor, he still has the emperor Li Yuan on his head. Taimiao sacrificed to the ancestors, and in terms of the ritual system, Li Yuan must participate. But how dare Li Shimin mention this matter to Li Yuan, firstly, this credit was earned during his reign, and Jieli is the enemy of him and his father, if Li Yuan wants to participate, wouldn't he tell the world that what Lao Tzu didn't do has been done, and his son is stronger than Lao Tzu, what does Lao Tzu think? Besides, the day must have been unprecedented, and the people gathered in the mountains to shout long live, but the people shouted Li Shimin, and the long live was also Li Shimin, and Li Yuan was next to him, what should I think?

Li Shimin is afraid that he will mention it and bring up the old past, don't say that things can't be done when the time comes, he will have to be scolded, his nose is not a nose and his face is not a face, he is the current monarch of the Tang Dynasty, and he can't afford to be embarrassed.

But things still have to be done, and in desperation, he had to beg Queen Changsun to go for him. Over the years, although the relationship between father and son has been very stiff, but Empress Changsun still has some face in Li Yuan, because Empress Changsun is really unable to find fault with her life, even if Li Yuan has an evil belly, he can't make a fuss at Empress Changsun, but this time is different, although Li Yuan is not angry, but Empress Changsun has been there for two days sooner or later, and when she sees all sides, she is still cold-faced. Li Shimin is not a fool, he naturally knows his father's attitude, he is depressed, he doesn't bother to watch the twists and turns, and he can't stop sighing.

"Your Majesty, my righteous son is here." Gao Gonggong suddenly came over and whispered. Li Shimin glanced at him, rubbed his swollen eyebrows, and said, "Let him in!" ”

Grandpa Gao turned around and went out, and after a while, he came in with a little eunuch. If Li Mu was here, he would definitely be able to recognize this little eunuch as the one who brought him into the palace. The little eunuch came over and saluted, Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, just after the queen asked for peace, the Emperor Taishang saw Li Mu, the Marquis of Zhulu. Then Li Mu also gave the slave and maid a piece of silver, which was five taels. Saying that, the little eunuch took out the piece of silver given by Li Mu, Li Shimin looked at it and said, "Since it is given to you, you can take it." Picking up the important ones, I'm not in the mood to listen to nonsense today. ”

"No." Seeing that Li Shimin's face was not good, the little eunuch quickly withdrew the silver from his sleeve, began to let Li Mu enter the door, and repeated the conversation with Li Yuan. If Li Mu was here, he would be even more surprised. This little eunuch has an amazing memory, and he can imitate the human voice, not only repeating the conversation between the two word for word, but also imitating the voice, tone, and even facial expressions and attitudes vividly. In contrast, the part where he imitated Cheng Biting Jin couldn't be put on the stage at all.

Li Shimin frowned at first, but when he heard Li Mu talk about his opinions on the matter of Xuanwu Gate, his expression became a little soothed, and when he heard Li Mu's method for Li Yuan later, he couldn't cry or laugh a little. Gao Gonggong observed his words and said: "Your Majesty, after all, this Zhulu Hou is still young, from a humble background, and has no knowledge, Your Majesty, don't take it to heart......"

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "I don't need you to say good things for him, I'm not angry." On the contrary, I think what he said is very good, isn't that what happened back then...... If brothers are not in harmony, there will always be a break, and if I don't do it, they will do it too. My father loves me no less than they do, and even today, my father will surely borrow wine for me to drown his sorrows......"

Li Shimin said with tears in his eyes: "The relationship between father and son in the heavenly family is difficult here. But I don't regret it, I believe that if I become the emperor, I will do better than them! After a pause, Li Shimin asked: "When Li Ji came to see him yesterday, did he mention that he gave Li Mu a mansion and would move over in a few days?" ”

Gao Gonggong responded: "Back to Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing. ”

"This is a happy event, since I know, I will give him a plaque, bring pen and ink."

Gonggong Gao and the little eunuch hurriedly waited for the pen and ink, Li Shimin picked up the wolf pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote on the paper "Zhulu Houfu" four flying white characters. After writing, I took a closer look, picked up the seal of the hand, and was about to stamp it, but suddenly put it aside again, and said: "Take the jade seal of the country, since Li Mu has sealed it with this, then I will stamp this seal on him." ”

Gonggong Gao hurriedly took it, handed it to Li Shimin, and said, "This is a great honor for Zhulu Hou, enough to pass it on." If it spreads to the people, it will be a good story. ”

Li Shimin smiled when he heard this, and stamped the jade seal of the country on the paper. I personally absorbed the residual ink with paper, rolled it up and handed it to Gao Gonggong, and said: "The master craftsman in the palace made a plaque overnight, and sent it tomorrow along with this pair of words." ”

Gonggong Gao took Li Shimin's book, said 'no', and was about to turn around and go out, when a little eunuch came in at the door.

"Report to Your Majesty, the slave maid will send a note to Your Majesty on behalf of the Emperor."

"Bring it!"

Li Shimin opened the strip, and his expression suddenly became very exciting, Gonggong Gao and the two little eunuchs couldn't see the content, and they didn't dare to ask, they all guessed in their hearts. After a while, Li Shimin put the strip away and said, "Go back to the Emperor Taishang, let me think about this matter, I will go over to ask for peace at dinner, and I will give the Emperor Taishang an answer." ”

"No."

The little eunuch left in response, and Li Shimin said to the first little eunuch who came to report the news: "Go and chase the deer hou back to me, I want to settle accounts with him!" ”

When Gonggong Gao heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, is this plaque still made?" ”

"Do, one thing, one thing, irrelevant."

"No." Gao Gonggong responded and went out with the little eunuch, but his heart was full of doubts, this Zhulu Hou can really cause trouble, just because of one thing to make His Majesty happy, immediately picked up one thing to make His Majesty unhappy, but Your Majesty is unhappy, why hasn't the reward been canceled yet? Grandpa Gao is a little confused, whether His Majesty likes this little marquis or not!

Li Mu walked out of Yong'an Gate, joined Li Chongyi, drove the empty car back, just left the imperial city, didn't walk a few steps, and a fast horse chased him back. Li Mu was at a loss and didn't know what was going on, so he had to let Li Chongyi drive the ox cart home first, and he followed the little eunuch back to Miyagi.
