Chapter 514: Nepotism
Li Mu smiled and said, "I'm just wondering why the Emperor Taishang would do such a thing, is his background high?" No matter how high the background of the gate valve is, isn't the world for Li Tang? Why bother with a hot face and a cold ass? ”
"Actually, this is also a helpless move." Wang Ou explained: "The five surnames and seven hopes are all Han surnames, and the Han people in the world, more or less, can be connected with these five surnames, and the attitude of the five surnames and seven hopes can basically represent the Han people in the world." If the royal family is of Hu blood, it will once again trigger the confrontation between Hu and Han during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. ”
"So Emperor Taishang's choice back then was very correct, even if it was far-fetched and criticized, he had to classify the royal family into the Han surname. Even if there is still discussion among the people within a generation or two, after a hundred years, this kind of discussion will be very rare, or even forgotten and no one mentions it, and then the fake will come true. ”
Li Mu frowned and said, "But why is it the Li clan in Longxi?" The Zhao Jun Li family is also surnamed Li, and I have been in contact with the people of the Zhao Jun Li clan, and they give me the feeling that they are quite negotiable, if they are under the Zhao Jun Li clan, I think they should agree. ”
"What's this......" Wang Ou recalled, and said: "I have also heard a saying, some people have researched, saying that the royal family may be in the last years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was expelled from the court by the Li clan of Zhao County, crossed the Yangtze River and took refuge in the former Qin, and mixed with the Hu tribe, so as to form today's royal family." If this is true, then it makes sense that the Emperor Taishang did not choose the Li clan of Zhaojun back then. ”
"Moreover, the royal family is in Longxi, and has been operating in Longxi for many years, and Longxi is in the place where Hu and Han meet, so it is easier to explain. And in terms of strength, the Li family of Longxi also surpasses the Li family of Zhaojun by a lot. At the time of Li Tang's rejuvenation, the Li family in Longxi also made a lot of efforts. ”
Wang Ou analyzed the head of the way, and suddenly saw Li Mu staring at her with an unexpected face, he couldn't help but be a little shy, and said angrily: "What are you looking at? ”
"I found out today that my little baby is still a female Zhuge . Everyone says that the queen is as resourceful as a person, and in my opinion, my little baby is not far behind! ”
"Why, I'm just a little old and know a little more. If Lang Jun doesn't like it, I won't say it again. ”
Li Mu hugged Wang Ou and said with a smile: "Where would I not like it, it's too late for me to like it." I wish everyone in the world knew that my woman was a very talented woman. Such an excellent woman, I don't love anyone, only like me, so I can teach them to envy them. ”
Wang Ou was originally a reserved person, and she didn't like others to boast about her on weekdays. But after listening to Li Mu's praise, he was very useful, and he couldn't wait for this sweet talk to stop, and he could say good things about her in a different way.
Li Mu shook Wang Ou's hand and said, "Ou, I still have something I want to discuss with you." ”
Wang Ou was already so dizzy with praise that he didn't think about it and said, "What's the matter?" You say, I will answer you anything. ”
"That's great!" Li Mu smiled: "I'm worried that you won't, but you should answer me for everything you say, so you can't excuse yourself." I want you to come to work in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and be the director of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. ”
Wang Ou thought that he had heard it wrong, frowned at Li Mu, and reminded: "Lang Jun, how can you be an official if you are a concubine?" ”
"Why can't it?" Li Mu asked rhetorically: "Is there a norm in the imperial court code that says that women can't be officials?" ”
Seeing that Wang Ou couldn't answer, Li Mu said again: "Even if there is a law that stipulates that women cannot be officials, then it can't control the internal affairs government." I have made an appointment with Your Majesty in advance, and as long as I am the Minister in Charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for one day, the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, no matter how big or small, will be decided by me alone. I can appoint whomever I want. If anyone raises an objection, it's good, let him do it for me, and I'll go home and farm! ”
Wang Ou smiled bitterly: "Lang Jun, you will be eighteen years old after the New Year, and you can't be a child anymore." ”
"Why am I a child?" Li Mu was unconvinced and said: "Don't be suspicious of employing people, Your Majesty often talks about it, it can't be hypocrisy, right?" Anyway, I only use people who I think are suitable, and you are not the only female official in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Like the director of the Salesian Bureau, it is your good sister, the hidden princess Zheng Guanyin. There is also the director of the patent office, I would like to appoint Wei Yingluo to do it. These are all suitable and safe candidates for me. ”
Seeing what Wang Ou was going to say, Li Mu preemptively said: "Ou, you should help me, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau is the top priority of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I must be a person who is proficient in business and can make me absolutely at ease." People who meet these two conditions, I can't think of a second person besides you. The two of us are at the same yamen, so it's convenient to meet, isn't it? Saying that, Li Mu sassed coquettishly: "Ou, my good baby, you will answer me, didn't you agree just now?" ”
Wang Ou felt guilty when he saw Li Mu like this, Li Mu trusted her so much, but she was doing something that made him feel cold. Wang Ou looked at Li Mu's eyes, pursed his lips, and couldn't help asking, "Lang, in your heart, do you really think that I am someone you can completely trust?" ”
Li Mu furrowed his brows and said strangely, "Isn't it?" ”
"You are my wife, I don't trust you, who else can I trust?"
One sentence made Wang Ou unable to hold back his tears anymore, and threw himself into Li Mu's arms and cried. Li Mu's face was full of inexplicability, he didn't know anything about what Wang Ou was doing behind his back, and he couldn't tell at all, so he could only think that she was moved to cry.
But why he was moved, he was still confused.
After comforting for a while, Wang Ou finally calmed down, nodded vigorously, and said: "Since Lang Jun trusts the concubine, the concubine will definitely try her best to live up to Lang Jun's expectations." ”
"That's right." Li Mu was happy, he also knew a little about Wang Ou's ability, and Wang Ou could definitely afford the position of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. In terms of employing people, Li Muke doesn't care what is selfless or not, he likes nepotism, who likes to say what he says, he has a good cost, as long as he has the final say in the Internal Affairs Office for a day, he will be arbitrary for a day, and if he is not allowed to do it, he will pull it down, and it is a big deal to go to farming.
Li Mu gently hugged Wang Ou's waist, rested his chin on her fragrant shoulder, and muttered: "Actually, I didn't drink last night's wine. The city management brigade is better, and the group of boys are a little more squirming, but after training, the habits of the squirting have decreased a lot. But Jin Yiwei's side is really uneasy. Guess what, heh, I originally wanted to recruit a group of people to work for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but okay, I recruited a group of fine workers! They all have thieves, and they don't know which side of the force they are, like flies, revolving around the egg of the Internal Affairs Office, just waiting to find a crack! ”
Wang Ou was shocked when he heard this, carefully peeked at Li Mu's face, and asked, "Can Lang Jun guess what force it is?" ”
"If I could have guessed, I'd have come to the door!" Li Mu said indignantly: "What I hate the most is these villains who use tricks behind their backs!" Sage cloud, gentleman is open! If there is anything, face to face the gong and the drum, everyone will fight in formation. Whoever has the strength wins, and the winner takes it all, how happy! I have to do some small actions, huh! ”
Li Mu pouted and said, "Ou, I might as well say a big word." I don't pay attention to these people who use trickery. He spread his hands and said, "Why do these people use trickery?" Isn't it that you don't have the strength! They want to covet the good things of my Internal Affairs Office, and they think they can succeed by installing a few people? Li Mu pointed to his head and said, "The most valuable things in the Internal Affairs Office are all in my head, and what is on the surface is just a surface." To do things, it is not possible to draw a gourd in the same way, you have to have your own brain, change with the situation, adapt to the situation, only know the meaning but do not know the reason, what's the use? ”
Li Mu's words, although they were derogatory to the people who planted eyeliner around him, also included Wang Ou himself. And listening to Li Mu's words, it seems that he is not afraid of eyeliner at all, which makes Wang Ou a little discouraged. In this way, everything she did would be useless.
"What does Lang Jun want to do? Expelled them all? ”
"Why are you expelling?" Li Mu said with a smile: "The Internal Affairs Office has become a piece of fat, drive away this batch, and there will be the next batch." It's better to leave them behind, so as to save the trouble of going around. And you have to think so, the people who can be sent here to do the fine work are definitely not ordinary people. Those are all talents, even if I have time to train, I can't cultivate such a suitable talent in a short time? I have to keep them and let them do my best, for me to drive, to be cattle and horses! When the time is right, let me know who is the person who is planning against me behind my back, and I will use the knife they handed over to stab me back, dare to calculate Lao Tzu, don't think about it! ”
Wang Ou could hear the murderous aura in Li Mu's words, and knew that this incident had touched Li Mu's sensitive nerves, and he was really angry. It's too late to regret it now, Wang Ou sighed in his heart and comforted: "Lang Jun is angry, it will be dawn in two hours, so let's go to bed early." ”
"Also, why am I so angry, I don't know who the object is." Li Mu smirked, took Wang Ou and kissed him, and said: "Sleep, I have to get up early tomorrow to send my brother-in-law Li Siwen, he is going to leave for Dingxiang, I have to explain some things to him, otherwise this kid is frizzy and frivolous, and I am afraid that it will be a big deal." ”
"Well," Wang Ou nodded, snuggled in Li Mu's arms, closed his eyes, and said softly: "The concubine should wake up early, and call Lang Jun to get up then." ”
In the blink of an eye, Li Mu washed his face and rinsed his mouth and ate breakfast under Wang Ou's service, changed into the clothes that Wang Ou prepared for him, and became a beautiful son of Yushu in the wind. Since the tiger fur was burned, Li Mu's dressing style has been much better, at least it is not the wild wind of a fur, more or less like a normal Han in the Central Plains.
Li Mu said goodbye to Wang Ou, rode on a horse and swayed to the British mansion. As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw cars of various specifications parked all over the street, moving things out of the house in a steady stream. The caravan brought back by Li Siwen was empty after unloading the goods, and when he left, he didn't know when he bought them, and they were all full.
"Big brother, I'm here!"
Li Siwen saw Li Mu coming, climbed into a car and waved at him. Li Mu was worried that he would fall, so he hurriedly shouted: "Be careful, what is on that car, can you step on it?" Don't fall off! ”
Li Siwen jumped out of the car and said, "It's all your younger sister's clothes, big brother, look at it, is this like a word?" A big car! There must be a few hundred, but fortunately it is the dowry of the Qin Mansion, if it costs my money, I ......"
"What are you going to do?"
The voice came from behind, Li Siwen quickly changed his tone, and said with a straight face: "Big brother, I was joking with you just now." Our family has a big business, do you still need these clothes? It's too late to leave, otherwise according to my character, I have to make a few hundred more pieces for my wife! ”
After that, Li Siwen turned around and smiled all over his face: "Master Yue, why did you get up so early, it's really a tormenting son-in-law." The son-in-law is planning to finish putting things in place and go to the father-in-law's mansion to ask for his resignation! ”
"Humph!" Qin Qiong glanced at Li Siwen, her face full of displeasure: "The old man really made a mistake, and he actually promised his daughter to you!" My daughter has been married to you for less than three days, and she will go to Longyou to suffer with you. You can't bear to put on a few clothes, but you really have a cheeky face! Your father's character is not like this, I really can't figure it out, who did you learn from this shameless appearance! ”
Li Siwen naturally drifted his gaze to Li Mu, and Qin Qiong also followed Li Siwen's line of sight to Li Mu. Li Mu saw that the two of them were looking at him, so he immediately stopped doing it, jumped off the horse, and said, "We have to be reasonable, I didn't say anything here, why is it my business?" Everyone in the world knows that I, Li Mu, regard money as dung, my wife spends money casually, I don't even ask, Li Siwen, this kid picks the door, it has nothing to do with me, I want to ask who to learn from...... The son follows the father, he must have learned from my father-in-law, or the son followed his father-in-law and learned from someone! ”
Qin Qiong laughed and said, "This sharp mouth is really worthy of its name!" Zhuluhou, bid farewell to their little couple today, you have to hurry up about what you promised me. ”
Li Mu's face was confused: "What's the matter?" ”
"Is it to take my son Huaidao as an apprentice and take him to the Internal Affairs Office?"
"That's not right!" Li Mu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Yiguo Gong, we have to talk about this." I promised to accept Qin Huaidao as an apprentice, but it seems that I didn't promise to let him enter the Internal Affairs Office, right? The officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who have been studying at the Datang Technical School for several months, have endured hardships and become masters. He didn't go through this process and went directly to the Internal Affairs Office, how could he serve the public? I can't agree to this, if he wants to enter the Internal Affairs Office, it depends on his own efforts, if he can't do it himself, I have no shortcuts here! ”
"There really are no shortcuts?"
Li Mu's head shook like a rattle, and said, "There is no shortcut!" If you want to enter the Internal Affairs Office, there are only two ways, either to study in the Datang Technical School, or to go to the imperial examination to enter the Jinshi, the Internal Affairs Office must not be mediocre, it is said that it is Qin Huaidao, even if it is the prince and the king of Yue, there is no mercy! ”
