"Who?" Li Mu's drunken eyes were sparse, he looked in the direction where the voice came from, and said in a daze: "Who is so bold, stand up and speak!" ”

"Master Hou, subordinate Li Yu." Li Chengqian stood up and bowed. Who can deserve the prince's salute? Li Tai and Changsun Chong hurriedly got up, Fang Yiai and the others were a little stunned when they saw this, and they didn't know why the two of them acted like this.

Li Mu didn't move, accepted Li Chengqian's salute, as if he was drunk, stared at him for a while, and said with a smile: "You are not satisfied, then tell me, what do you want to do?" ”

"Like you!"

"Am I the same?" Li Mu chuckled: "What's wrong with me, making you so envious?" ”

"Make meritorious contributions and expand the territory!"

When Fang Yiai and the others heard this, they were also interested, and they said: "Master Hou, this is also our wish, a manly husband, to protect the family and defend the country, make meritorious contributions, even if he unfortunately dies, he must return the horse leather shroud!" ”

Li Mu glanced at everyone and said, "You all think so?" ”

"It's all, it's all!" Everyone shouted: "Master Hou, we are all bloody men of the Tang Dynasty, and we all want to make contributions!" ”

Li Mu smiled and was noncommittal. He only looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Have you done enough of the chengguan?" ”

Everyone was envious in their hearts, and the secret path was really a relative of the Hou Ye, so maintained, how could others be treated like this.

Li Chengqian could understand the meaning of Li Mu's words, and he also hesitated in his heart. For more than half a year, he has been in the market, met a lot of people, and seen a lot of things. He is in charge of the workshop, and he knows the situation of every household. He once rectified his alcoholic and unfilial son, and also secretly funded an elderly woman who was poor and looked down on the sick. But the more he managed, the more he realized that he couldn't find the doorway.

There's so much going on in one place. How big the world is, if you want to manage everything like this, how can you manage it? He tried hard to recall how Li Shimin handled political affairs, although it was also very tiring and tedious, but the music he saw had almost no such things as firewood, rice, oil and salt, and he asked the teaching of the East Palace, and the answer he got was that officials at all levels would be selected step by step, and officials at all levels would deal with small matters, and only major matters involving the world would be taken to His Majesty's desk.

It is impossible for one person to take care of everything. As a result, Li Chengqian began to waver a little, he knew his situation, he was unwilling to stay in the East Palace, so he would think about going outside the palace. But he stayed outside the palace for half a year, crawling between the markets, and saw a scene that he would never have been exposed to in the palace. Suddenly, his thoughts began to change, and the former bear child had quietly grown up.

He began to understand that as a prince, he should do something. He thought a lot about what he could do. If he is not good at studying, he is afraid that he will not succeed in the literary path, but on the way to martial arts, he feels that he still has a little possibility.

Although his thoughts have not changed, he still wants to be a general to make contributions, but his state of mind is already different. Less frivolity, more responsibility.

"Well, since you don't want to be a chengguan anymore, that's fine. Tomorrow, I'll report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I'll hand over the Ministry of Internal Affairs to you, Your Majesty. ”

What the!

Everyone was dumbfounded! One or two feel like there's something wrong with their ears, right, the Ministry of Internal Affairs? How important is the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the government and the opposition in Chang'an have spread all over the country, and the authority of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is now one line higher than that of the three provinces and six ministries. Give it to a kid from outside Longxi?

Fang Yiai looked at Li Chengqian in a daze, and then looked at Li Mu, although he was a little straightforward, but he was not stupid at all, after all, he was Fang Xuanling's son, although he was kicked out of the house, occasionally the father and son also met a few times, he suddenly remembered that when he met his father, he wanted to say something several times and stopped, wanted to say something but didn't say it in the end, and one of the most obvious, when he met during the inspection, he saw this Li Yu, his father's expression was a little unnatural, he thought that Li Yu offended his father, and reprimanded a few words.

Thinking about all this, Fang Yiai understood, he opened his mouth, and said cautiously: "Li Yu, is it, are you His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

When Li Chengqian heard Li Mu's words, he learned that he had a new arrangement for himself, and the chengguan brigade couldn't stay any longer, and there was no need to hide his identity. ”

"Oh my God!" Fang Yiai hurriedly got up and left the table, kneeling next to Li Chengqian, thinking that he had beaten and scolded this black boy before, he couldn't wait to slap himself a few big mouths, this is the future monarch of the Tang Dynasty, he treated him like this, when he ascended the throne in the future, the Fang family would not be beheaded by the whole house?

Seeing that Fang Yiai was like this, the rest of the Chengguan Brigade also reacted, and they knelt behind Fang Yiai, and kowtowed one by one and shouted: "The ministers don't know the identity of His Highness, and if he offends, please forgive His Highness!" ”

Seeing that his colleagues who were laughing and playing on weekdays suddenly became this respectful look, Li Chengqian's eyes flashed with a touch of sadness, but even if he dispersed, at this moment he was no longer Longxi Li Yu, and he had changed back to the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he couldn't see anything on the surface, but the sourness in his heart was only clear to him.

"Get up, all of you, and don't blame those who don't know."

"The ministers are terrified."

Li Chengqian was a little anxious, and said: "It's not strange to say that those who don't know, at the beginning, what I did was insufficient, and I deserved to be punished, you didn't do anything wrong, why do you want to ask for guilt?" Seeing that Fang Yiai and the others still didn't get up, Li Chengqian hurriedly said: "If you don't get up again, then I will kneel down too." ”

Who dared to let the prince kneel, Fang Yiai and the others shouted: "The ministers are terrified! ”

"What the hell are you going to do!"

Seeing that the two sides were deadlocked, and there was an endless posture, Li Mu finally couldn't help but speak: "It's almost enough, the prince understands the people's feelings, it is Your Majesty's arrangement, if you know it, it will be against Your Majesty's will." Now that the period of observation has expired, you can be regarded as having made a small contribution. His Majesty has a will, and all the people in the Chengguan Brigade will be promoted by one level. The Chengguan Brigade became independent from Jinyiwei and established the Chengguan Bureau, and the captain Fang Yiai was promoted to the director of the Chengguan Bureau, and the others were promoted in turn, and the will will come soon, so can you rest assured? ”

There are no punishments, and rewards and promotions? Fang Yiai and the others are all teenagers in the end, and the city government is not so deep, so they carefully glanced at the expressions of Li Mu and Li Chengqian, and felt that it didn't seem to be a counterstatement, so they believed it, and got up and returned to their seats.

Li Chengqian's identity was revealed, so he was naturally not suitable to sit at the bottom, and he would not let Li Mu give up his main position, so he sat with Li Tai.

Not long after Li Tai returned to Chang'an, Li Chengqian was not much in the palace, and the two brothers did not meet by mistake. When he saw Li Tai just now, Li Chengqian was still a child of a family who followed Li Mu, and it wasn't until he heard Li Tai speak that he recognized it as his younger brother. Now sitting at a table, and looking closely, it still feels incredible. I haven't seen him for a few months, this younger brother of his own, it seems that he has lost a person, Li Chengqian reached out and pulled Li Tai's arm, except for the skin that was a little loose to the touch, there was nothing other abnormal, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"The teacher said, this loose skin, you can tighten it back after exercising, it's fine. It's the royal brother, who is getting darker and darker. ”

"It's windy and sunny all day long, but if it's not dark, there's no way!"

The brothers haven't seen each other for almost a year, and they've gone through a lot of different situations, so they seem to be a little different. However, the flesh and blood affection is still there, and after a few simple chats, this life will be gone.

Regarding Li Tai's affairs, Li Chengqian's East Palace has a mansion newspaper, and Li Chengqian knows about the change of the title of King Wei and the establishment of the Literature Museum. The officials of the East Palace had drafted a recital, wanting Li Chengqian to play it to Li Shimin to express his dissatisfaction with Li Tai's resealing and the Literature Museum, but in the end Li Chengqian did not do so. His mind is not above the Tao of literature, and the Tang Dynasty is based on martial arts, in Li Chengqian's heart, he doesn't want to be an emperor who keeps the truth, he wants to learn from his grandfather and father, and become an emperor who expands the territory for the Tang Dynasty and goes down in history.

……

Li Mu was carried into the palace, and it happened that Li Chengqian also returned to the East Palace, and Li Mu was too drunk to be a director, so Gonggong Gao placed him in the East Palace and returned to Li Shimin to resume his life.

Li Chengqian has not yet gotten married, and he lives alone in Pingsuri, but he is not particular about his daily life, and how old he is, although he has been taught about men and women, he has no ideas, and he sleeps alone on weekdays. There are not many palace maids around, and they are all people personally arranged by the eldest grandson, but nothing that should not have happened.

Li Chengqian has always had a relationship between his senior brother and brother towards Li Mu. But he is not like Li Tai, who respects Li Mu as a teacher from the heart. He admires and admires, and he learns and learns, but he doesn't want to call a teacher like that. In the final analysis, he is also the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and he has arrogance in his bones. Relatively more, it is a feeling similar to that of a brother, he looks at Li Mu like a younger brother looking at his brother, and he is willing to follow in Li Mu's footsteps, although he also understands that this feeling should not appear in the body of the prince of the Tang Dynasty.

Before Li Jing exterminated the Turks, the Turks had always been the biggest confidant of the Tang Dynasty. Li Chengqian also regarded the Turks as his greatest enemy. The art of war is cloudy, know yourself and know the enemy, and only then can you fight a hundred battles without slacking off. Li Chengqian also did it thoroughly, he transformed his dormitory into the style of the Turks, and in the palace, there was a tent, and he himself lived in the tent. The surrounding decorations are not antique calligraphy and paintings, but animal skin bows and arrows, although he can't pull any of these strong bows and crossbows, but when he is there, he feels happy, imagining that one day he will ride a horse to fight, take a bow and shoot arrows, and wear a hundred steps through the Yang.

Li Chengqian asked the palace people to carry Li Mu over and placed him in his tent. And he lay down on the couch outside the tent, looking at the swords, guns, swords, and halberds on the wall, listening to Li Mu's snoring, and many pictures flashed in his mind.

There is a prince named Yu Zhining in the East Palace, who was sent by Li Shimin to help Li Chengqian take care of the East Palace, and is regarded as one of the teams of the East Palace. This left concubine is also very conscientious, and he helps to consider everything. But Li Chengqian didn't like him, and it wasn't that he did anything wrong. As the acting official of the East Palace, there is nothing wrong with his words and deeds. The reason why Li Chengqian doesn't like him is because his starting point is always the prince, not Li Chengqian. What he always talks about is what the prince should be. Never asked yourself what you wanted.

A few days ago, Yu Zhining found himself and said something. He didn't know where he heard it, saying that the emperor had the intention of easy storage. He also gave examples, such as the emperor allowing the king of Wei to set up a museum, recruit scholars, write books and lectures, and so on. When Li Chengqian heard this, he just thought it was ridiculous and didn't take it seriously. But today, seeing that Li Tai is not leaving Li Mu's side, there is a little bit of a bad feeling in my heart.

Does this younger brother of mine really have any thoughts about the position of the prince? If it weren't for that, how could he have the great perseverance to lose fat, and how could he follow Li Mu, was he trying to pull Li Mu as a strong reinforcement?

Li Chengqian looked at Li Mu who was sleeping, and thought in his heart that if one day, Li Mu really stood on Li Tai's side, what would be the situation.

No matter how you think about it, the result will be the same, you won't have any chance.

But the current situation doesn't seem to be so bad. He handed over the Internal Affairs Office to himself today, and the importance of the Internal Affairs Office is that the women and children in Chang'an City can say a thing or two. If he really had the intention of supporting Li Tai, he would never do so.

What was his mind? Just as he was pondering, Li Mu suddenly sat up. Li Chengqian was startled, but his reaction was quite fast, and he asked softly, "Big brother, do you want to drink water?" ”

"Drunk and looking at the sword!"

"Huh?"

"Dream back to the Horn Company Camp!"

"Eight hundred miles of fire, fifty strings turn over the outside sound, autumn soldiers on the battlefield!"

Li Chengqian was stunned, and watched Li Mu fall down again: "The horse-made Lu is fast, and the bow is like a thunderbolt. ”

"But the king of the world, won the name before and after his death. Poor white happens! ”

After Li Mu finished drinking madness, he fell asleep again, leaving Li Chengqian to sit alone, muttering the last sentence.

……

"Poor king in the world, winning the name before and after his death?" Li Shimin listened to the words of the little eunuch, the corners of his mouth hooked a little arc, waved his hand, and the little eunuch retreated.

"Gao Gan, you say, Li Mu is acting for me, or is he really drunk, and that's what he thinks in his heart?"

Gonggong Gao bowed down and said: "Your Majesty didn't see the drunk appearance of Master Hou, he is already unconscious, and it is impossible to do it deliberately." ”

"But this poem is wonderful, and he is arrogant, and he will come as soon as he opens his mouth-" Li Shimin frowned slightly, and said: "Is there really such a literary style?" ”

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that Lord Hou has always been like this, does Your Majesty still remember the poem 'I am born to be useful, and I will come back when my daughter is gone'? also came as soon as he opened his mouth, Hou Ye has such literary talents, and the old slave does not doubt it. ”

"You're really his party now." Li Shimin scolded with a smile, and Gonggong Gao hurriedly knelt down and said, "The old slaves all obey His Majesty's orders to do things, and they will never dare to form a party with others." ”

"Jokes, why take them seriously." Li Shimin motioned for him to get up, sighed, and was silent, and after a long while, Li Shimin spoke, saying: "After Li Mu wakes up tomorrow, there is no need for him to come to see me, and the matter of passing the decree and coronation will be handed over to the internal affairs office." ”
