"I can't tell you how it feels." Li Shimin pursed his lips and said with some distress: "Li Mu, this kid, is not only unexpected, but-" Li Shimin wondered: "Queen, don't you think that Li Mu can do things, even if it is impossible, in his hands, he can always do it in the end." ”

Empress Eldest Sun frowned: "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”

Li Shimin wrinkled his brows and said, "I can't understand why there are so many things that I can't imagine, Li Mu can do it." When I talked to Yuan Tiangang about Li Mu, Yuan Tiangang once said that he had divined Li Mu many times, but he had never been able to see through his hexagrams. This is almost impossible, but it happened to Li Mu. ”

"Also," Li Shimin paused and sighed, "Yuan Tiangang also talked to me about the way of luck, and I also think it makes sense. ”

Empress Eldest Sun showed a worried look and said, "Your Majesty, Yuan Tiangang he-"

"Queen, I know what you're worried about." Li Shimin smiled and said: "I will never reach the level of 'demon path misleading the country', Yuan Tiangang is not that kind of person, his hexagram technique is still quite accurate." You listen to what Yuan Tiangang said - he told me that if the heroes of the world want to succeed, the right time, place and people have their role, but the most important thing is luck. Like my Li family raised troops in Jinyang, among the anti-kings from all walks of life at that time, the Li family did not have an advantage, but why did the Li family seize the world in the end? This is the relationship of luck. ”

"When luck is in the body, you can win the battle that you can't win. When luck is gone, you can't win the battle that is sure to be won. When luck is in the body, the galloping arrow rain can also be avoided, and when the luck is not there, a cold arrow can also shoot the main general in the army. ”

"Therefore, I am thinking, what Li Mu does now, he can accomplish something, and he can do impossible things. And after I ascended the throne, I have been repeatedly constrained in doing things, could it be that luck is no longer on me, but on Li Mu? ”

"I am the emperor, known as the Son of Heaven. Logically speaking, it should be a person with good luck. But if Li Mu's luck surpasses me, maybe God is telling me that I am no longer the person to whom the destiny of heaven belongs, and the person to whom the destiny belongs has become Li Mu, and he is the son of heaven! ”

"It was also because of this worry in my heart that I felt a little afraid of Li Mu. So when the auxiliary machine does these things, I will subconsciously echo it in my heart. Maybe I want to do the same in my heart. Want to eliminate hidden dangers before they happen? Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know either." ”

Li Shimin sighed and said, "When I think about these things now, I really feel a little ungenerous, not like an emperor should be. I am not such a person, but why, when I faced Li Mu, I was so jealous? Is I really an intolerant emperor? ”

He looked at his hand again and said, "How crazy this kid is Li Mu, he drew his sword and pointed at the auxiliary machine in front of me, forcing me to stop him - I gave him the sword of Shang Fang, but he dared to use it to hurt me, and what did he say about the golden bottle to drink, the white blade does not spare each other, his white blade, even my blood dares to drink, you say, such a person, can I not be afraid?" ”

When Li Shimin said this, he wanted to get a little approval from Empress Changsun, but contrary to what he thought, Empress Changsun smiled. Li Shimin was a little confused, and he hurriedly said: "Queen, do you think I have gone wrong?" ”

"Your Majesty, when the concubine heard this, she had another thought." Empress Eldest Sun looked at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty hasn't thought about it, is this what Li Mu's kid said to Your Majesty?" ”

"Of course he told me to hear it, he hurt me!"

Empress Changsun shook her head and said, "What the concubine means is that he is saying that His Majesty is treating him, and the golden bottle is drunk together, and the white blade is not forgiven!" ”

"I'm on him?" Li Shimin was a little confused, as if he understood something, but he didn't seem to catch anything. Empress Eldest Sun further explained: "Your Majesty, think about it, when you treated Li Mu before, was it 'Golden Bottle Drinking'? But when these things happened this time, how could His Majesty spare him? Li Mu is sarcastic, no matter how deep the so-called holy family is, when His Majesty changes his mind, when the white blade is added, he will not spare it. ”

"As for hurting Your Majesty!" Empress Changsun paused, but still did not tactfully, and said: "The concubine thinks that His Majesty is not bad, and Li Mu should have done it on purpose." He wanted to tell His Majesty how sad he was this time. He wanted to tell His Majesty that he was not the kind of courtier who could be flattened and rounded at will, and that His Majesty should not treat him like that. If His Majesty hurts him again, he will no longer be silent, and will give His Majesty a certain counterattack - this meaning should not be wrong. ”

"What does he want to do?"

"Where do the concubines know?" Empress Eldest Sun glanced at Li Shimin and said, "The concubine just knows that if Li Mu is against him, he will not behave so obviously. Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about Li Mu's loyalty, he won't rebel, unless Your Majesty persecutes him like this time. ”

"Why is the queen so sure?"

Empress Eldest Sun didn't answer and asked, "Your Majesty, can you imagine what Li Mu looks like sitting on the dragon chair in a dragon robe?" ”

"This ......" Li Shimin imagined it for a moment, and quickly swept that picture out of his mind, it was really too inappropriate. If Li Mu becomes the emperor, he will be the most hanged emperor, and there is no one. All dynasties, even if they are faint monarchs, they all have an imperial bearing, Li Mu's bearing? Do you stand on the walls and scatter coins?

After talking about this, it was basically over, and Empress Changsun knew that Li Shimin still had a lot of things to think about for herself, so she retired and left. Out of the Taiji Palace, Empress Changsun asked the female officials beside her, and said, "My brother made a bet with Li Mu and lost 100,000 yuan, can he pay it?" ”

"I gave it, but Li Mu didn't ask for it, saying that it was donated to the Salesian Bureau."

"Hmm-" Empress Eldest Sun nodded, didn't ask anything more, and the group walked towards the Lizheng Palace.

……

With Li Mu's departure, Chang'an City returned to calm again. There is a new edition of Datang Daily every day, and the new headlines have replaced the old headlines, and there is always something new happening every day. People will soon forget, and life will continue as usual.

But for the gate valve and Xungui, life is not a business as usual. One of the leaders of the gate valve, Wang Qi of the Taiyuan Wang family, was dismissed by Li Shimin. lost the important force of Menxia Province, and on the Xungui side, the eldest grandson Wuji's 'sick leave' also made Xungui temporarily lose the fat of the ministry, and it was not as convenient as before to install some officials.

Everyone suddenly realized that there was no winner this time. Li Shimin sat in the village and killed them all! Whether it is the gate valve or the noble, they have become Li Mu's 'funeral goods', and Li Mu avoided Luoyang in exchange for a great victory of imperial power.

As a result, many people began to conspire about it, from beginning to end, was this matter a plan made by Li Mu and His Majesty? The purpose is to suppress the gate valve and the honor? If you think about it this way, it doesn't seem impossible at all.

However, although I thought so in my heart, the lessons from the past are not far away, and there are still no people who dare to discuss it openly. The private discussion could not be put on the table and did not make waves.

During the period of "dragons without a leader", there was a rare long-lost peace in the court, and the forces of all parties no longer attacked each other, but did their own things, for fear of being caught by Li Shimin again.

The day after Li Mu left, Tang Jian also set off for Shuzhou to take up his post. Tang Jian has been an official in the court for many years, he has always been a good man, and he has the Yamen of the God of Wealth like the Ministry of Civil Affairs, whether it is the gate valve or the noble, the relationship with him is very good, although Tang Jian seems to have been degraded this time, but he is in the emperor's heart, and he may come back one day. Coupled with the huge power of the Tang family, there really didn't dare to laugh at him.

There were also a lot of people seeing them off, but when they saw Sun's carriage, they still inevitably pointed fingers. Sun occasionally heard a few words, and the guilt in his heart was deeper, Tang Jian comforted her, Tang looked at it in his eyes, and there was a little envy in his heart, when people are old, they can still have such a feeling, which is indeed commendable.

Three days after Tang Jian left, Li Xiaogong also went to Dingxiang to take up the post of Dadu to protect him. Originally, the Dingxiang Protectorate did not have the qualifications to set up the Dadu Protector, because Li Xiaogong was the king of the county, and his specifications were there, if he was enabled, whether it was from the perspective of seniority or identity, he must be the Dadu Protector. One more big word, and the grade will be different. All protection is the third grade, and most of the protection is the second grade. Among the generals, this is the highest grade, and only Li Jing, who is now the right servant of Shangshu, can be compared with it.

But Li Jing had been Li Xiaogong's subordinate before, and Li Jing would never dare to compare with Li Xiaogong in terms of qualifications, except for Li Shimin, the general of Tiance back then, it is not an exaggeration to say that Li Xiaogong was the first person in the dynasty.

Li Chongyi failed to go with Li Xiaogong, but entered the Chongwen Hall to accompany the prince to study. This is also the proper meaning of the question, the general is leading the troops, and the eldest son must be left as a proton, not only Li Xiaogong, but also Li Ji, if Li Xiaogong must take Li Chongyi with him, even if he has no antirighteousness, there will be someone to participate in him.

This was all the news ten days ago, and when Li Mu received these news, he had already arrived in Luoyang, but his current situation was a little worse.

……

Chang'an is not far from Luoyang, but the road is a bit tortuous. Take the waterway to cross Sanmenxia, take the land route, it is also nine bends and eighteen bends, and the road conditions are not very good. This is also the reason, the price of grain in Chang'an City has been high, the transportation of grain, from the downstream to the upstream, sailing against the current, many sections of the road to rely on the slender man, the cost of transportation has increased, apportioned in the grain, the price of grain will naturally be a little higher.

But Luoyang does not have this problem, there is a saying in the West called all roads lead to Rome, and it is also very suitable for Luoyang, all roads lead to Luoyang, from any place, you can reach Luoyang, whether it is by water or land. This has also led to a great flaw in Luoyang, that is, it is not easy to defend, so throughout history, the dynasty of Chang'an, the capital of Dingdu, is always longer than the dynasty of Luoyang.

Li Mu has always had a beautiful imagination for Luoyang. Because of his previous life, he came to Luoyang. There are also peonies in Luoyang, and when he thinks of peonies, he thinks of Wang Ou. Looking at the road marker stone in the system, Fat Da should be in Luoyang, and Li Mu has been thinking about what he should do along the way.

Last time in Dingxiang, because of Jin Chen's relationship, Wang Ou left in a fit of anger without meeting. Li Mu also thought that he would never meet Jin Chen again, so he was actually not very worried about Wang Ou's side, he always wanted to see him, and maybe it would be okay to coax him well, but this time Jin Chen died for him, and his affection did not allow Li Mu to hide anymore, he had to be responsible and take Jin Chen with him, but in this case, how could Wang Ou explain it? When the two women met, he was really not sure if there would be a fight.

Now Wang Ou still has his flesh and blood in his belly, if he gets angry and hurts the child, he really doesn't know what to do when the time comes. For now, it's best to let the two of them not meet, but what to say? Jin Chen has been a little clingy to him in the past few days, and it is better in front of Qiaoqiao, but when he is not in Qiaoqiao's face, he can't wait to hold his arm and not let go, it is really sticky and tight.

Li Mu has always felt guilty in his heart because of Jin Chen's substitution, but this does not mean that he can accept Jin Chen because of this, he just feels that he has an obligation to take on the responsibility of a man. And he also knew that in Bai Qiaoqiao's heart, he had always been worried about Jin Chen's kidnapping of him, and whether he was with Jin Chen or not, he had to take into account Bai Qiaoqiao's thoughts. If Bai Qiaoqiao couldn't get by, he wouldn't let Jin Chen enter the door. Fortunately, Bai Qiaoqiao's personality is gentle, and her ears are still soft, after the substitution incident, Bai Qiaoqiao's attitude towards Jin Chen has also eased, otherwise Li Mu is really caught in the middle and is not a human being.

But even then, it's not time to get the words thorough. Li Mu also thought about not being so anxious, and settled down first. So after arriving in Luoyang, Li Mu thought about buying a house to settle down first, but when he started, he found that there was no one in the huge Luoyang City who was willing to sell his house!

Li Mu has always felt guilty in his heart because of Jin Chen's substitution, but this does not mean that he can accept Jin Chen because of this, he just feels that he has an obligation to take on the responsibility of a man. And he also knew that in Bai Qiaoqiao's heart, he had always been worried about Jin Chen's kidnapping of him, and whether he was with Jin Chen or not, he had to take into account Bai Qiaoqiao's thoughts. If Bai Qiaoqiao couldn't get by, he wouldn't let Jin Chen enter the door. Fortunately, Bai Qiaoqiao's personality is gentle, and her ears are still soft, after the substitution incident, Bai Qiaoqiao's attitude towards Jin Chen has also eased, otherwise Li Mu is really caught in the middle and is not a human being.

Otherwise, Li Mu is really caught in the middle, and he is not a person inside and out.
