When Li Mu spoke, he nodded slightly, glanced at the father-in-law Gao behind Li Shimin, and the father-in-law bowed slightly, Li Mu was relieved, his face was full of smiles, put down his pen, and said, "Why did Your Majesty come so early, have you had breakfast?" If you haven't used it, what do you want to eat, but the food here is still a little better than in the palace......"

"......" Li Shimin's face suddenly darkened, is this a human talk? The food at your home is a little better than in the palace, and let me order it casually, what's the matter, the emperor can't afford to eat?

He has never won a fight with Li Mu, and Li Shimin has also learned to be obedient, tactically deaf, and he doesn't answer his stubble at all, and he talks about his own, saying, "Can't I do it?" You are a dignified deer chaser, a god who fell from the sky. I don't want to move you, an immortal, so I have to come in person? If I don't come to you, you really won't enter the palace. ”

Where did this evil wind come from?

Li Mu turned his head to look at Father-in-law Gao again, and Father-in-law Gao still bowed his head. Li Muxin said, it's not to find fault, so what is this for? Yin and Yang are weird, what did you hear?

If you don't have a clue, you can only wait and see.

Li Mu smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, can we be reasonable." You didn't let me enter the palace, did you forget, on the day the Four Seas Casino opened, didn't you say to let me go away? I just got out. Actually, this morning, I thought about it. This is in a hurry, right, as a junior, I have to honor your old man. But I don't dare to go, for fear that if something is wrong, I will make you angry. It's a big sin for me to block you for the New Year—"

"Don't talk to me," Li Shimin interrupted Li Mu's words angrily, and said, "Are you using my words as a cover, you know it in your heart." I'm not here to go around with you today, I ask you, that map, you really drew it? ”

"What map?"

Li Shimin took out the map from his arms, spread it on the table, and said, "Is this the map, you drew it?" ”

"That's right!" Li Mu knew at a glance that it was he who gave Li Tai, and it was not unexpectedly that it would fall into the hands of Li Shimin, so he pretended to be confused and said: "Your Majesty, this is for my apprentices to teach, I want Li Tai to study hard, make good progress, don't draw a broken picture that makes people look at it, just be complacent - how did it get to Your Majesty's hands, oops, this is just a random drawing, too clumsy, for fear of polluting Your Majesty's eyes, Your Majesty still gives it back to me, wait for me to paint it in detail, and send it to Your Majesty's Imperial ......"

As he spoke, Li Mu stretched out his hand to take the map back. Li Shimin slapped the table and said, "I'm asking you how this map was drawn!" ”

"Uh......" Li Mu pursed his lips and asked, "Your Majesty, do you think the ground under your feet is a ball?" ”

"I don't know, I haven't flown to the sky...... Yes! Li Shimin suddenly remembered, pointed at Li Mu and said, "By the way, you said, you dreamed!" ”

Li Mu nodded solemnly and said, "Your Majesty, the minister said to Your Majesty that the minister often dreams. In the minister's dream, there was a huge bird made of steel, and a person could burrow into the belly of the bird and soar above the nine heavens. This kind of bird, in the dream of the minister, is called an airplane. ”

"Flying chickens?" Gao Gonggong muttered in a low voice: "It's really uninformed, it's good to call Luan Feng and Vermilion Bird, what is it called a flying chicken, it sounds like poultry." ”

Li Shimin glanced at Gonggong Gao, and Gonggong Gao quickly closed his mouth. Li Shimin asked: "You said that the earth under your feet is a ball, because you saw it in your dream, in the belly of this flying chicken, soaring above the nine heavens?" ”

Li Mu nodded.

Li Shimin said again: "But why didn't you mention half of it when you talked about Qingque? ”

Li Mu smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is Qingque's master. As a teacher, you should be majestic. The minister said that such a bizarre reason, with the ingenuity of Qingque, would he believe it? He will only think that the minister is just nonsense, if he leaves such an impression on the apprentice, how will the minister teach him in the future. Your Majesty, you also understand and understand the minister! ”

This is sincere, and people have to believe it. What's more, it was inadvertently pointed out that Li Mu admitted that Li Tai was intelligent. Li Tai is Li Shimin's favorite son, how can he not be happy when he hears it?

"That's right, you're talking nonsense, that is, you're talking to me." Li Shimin was still frowning, he didn't suspect that Li Mu was lying to him, but he felt unbelievable. He looked at Li Mu and said, "Li Mu, do you still often have this kind of dream now?" When Dr. Sun was treating you, did you talk to him, and what did he have to say? ”

Li Mu sighed, the whole person exuded an aura of decadence, and barely squeezed out a smile, which made people feel pity when they saw it: "How can the minister not say it, but Doctor Sun has never encountered a patient like the minister, and he has nothing to do." However, after taking the medicine left by Doctor Sun, this symptom has been alleviated a lot. Recently, the last time I had such a dream was a month ago. The minister can't grasp the law of dreaming, and he can't remember it more and more recently when he dreams. When you wake up from a dream, you can still remember one thing, if you don't take a note of it, you will forget it in the blink of an eye. ”

"Forget-" Li Shimin muttered to himself, and Gonggong Gao answered beside him: "Your Majesty, this is normal, the old slave often dreams and can't remember." ”

Li Shimin sighed, he also had a dream. But I can't forget it, and every time I think about it, it becomes clearer. The memory of that bloody night is estimated to be never forgotten, and the day it was brought to the coffin will never be forgotten.

Li Mu saw that Li Shimin was suddenly depressed, a little confused, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay," Li Shimin couldn't tell Li Mu about this kind of thing, and said, "I haven't eaten, isn't the food good, let me see and understand." ”

"Oh." Li Mu shouted, since someone came to serve, it was cold outside, and the table was set up in the room. Today's Xiao Nian, according to the rules, you have to eat dumplings. Last night, the cooks prepared the stuffing, and this morning it was freshly wrapped and cooked, and it was not a hassle.

When the dumplings were served, they were laughed at by Li Shimin: "I should still be some kind of mountain and sea delicacies, wontons, who doesn't eat them?" ”

"Your Majesty, taste it."

Li Shimin picked up a dumpling and put it in his mouth, just took a bite, his eyes suddenly widened, and he said angrily while eating: "Li Mu, you dare to kill a cow?" This ravioli is beef filled! ”

Li Mu saw Li Shimin's gobbling up, and he also felt funny in his heart. As an emperor, you can't eat beef if you like it, what's the point of being an emperor?

Li Mu motioned for Father-in-law Gao to sit, and also gave him dumplings, and said, "Your Majesty, you can't rely on me, the beef was given to me by Uncle Cheng." Have you ever heard of a polo match? The minister helped him come up with some ideas, and he thanked me by sending beef. I heard that this cow had a difficult birth—"

"Fart!" Li Shimin stuffed another dumpling into his mouth, and said while swallowing: "Other people's cattle don't die after ten years, just his cows, how many don't die in a month?" He just deliberately slaughtered and eaten, who can he bluff? ”

"The minister doesn't know, anyway, the minister has never raised cattle, and the minister has never killed it."

Li Shimin's mouth was full of oil, and he was embarrassed to say anything. Seeing that there was wine on the table, Li Mu didn't need to be polite, he poured himself a drink, drank two glasses, and his body gradually warmed. Li Shimin clicked his lips and said, "You kid is not honest, it's the same three cups, why are you better here than in the palace?" ”

"This is made by the minister himself, the guy from the winery, how can he compare with my craftsmanship. And this wine has been precipitated for some days......" Li Mu glanced at the mouth of the bottle and said, "This is brewed not long after the minister came to Chang'an, and it will be more than half a year." I haven't brewed it recently, and if Your Majesty wants to drink it, when he returns to the palace, he will take the rest with him. ”

"You're generous." Li Shimin took another drink and muttered: "In a blink of an eye, you have been in Chang'an for more than half a year, and the days are really fast." ”

sighed with emotion, and returned to the topic, Li Shimin said: "I didn't come today for these idle things. There are two things in total, the first of which is about the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I took a book today, and your stepfather Tang Jian handed it over. It is said that the Chinese New Year is approaching, and in Chang'an and Luoyang, grain prices have risen by 30%. Tang Jian sent people to inquire about several major grain merchants in Chang'an City, and they said that it was related to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Because the Ministry of Internal Affairs ordered a large amount of grain, the supply exceeded the demand, so the price was raised. So I came to ask you, is there such a thing? ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "There is a matter of ordering a large amount of grain, and the minister has told His Majesty about it. The minister bought 10,000 acres of land in Dingxiang, and the minister's righteous brother Siwen, who was in charge of Dingxiang and took in a lot of displaced people, who needed to eat and grain. Therefore, the minister ordered a batch of grain through the Ministry of Internal Affairs, about 100,000 quintals. However, this bit of grain should not be enough to affect the grain prices of Chang'an and Luoyang, and even if it has an impact, it will not reach 30%. This matter must be a grain merchant taking the opportunity to raise prices, and his heart can be punished. ”

"You can't be punished, I don't care. You can do it, what to do is your business, what I want is stable food prices and I can afford to eat. ”

When Li Mu heard that he was going to work again, he immediately complained bitterly: "Your Majesty, it's good to let the Ministry of Civil Affairs do this." It's almost the New Year, and it's ...... Haven't you been dismissed?"

"Oh, yes, you're dismissed." Li Shimin responded and said to Gao Gong: "Remember, after returning to the palace, I will pass on a decree to let Li Mu, the Marquis of Zhulu, 'temporarily take' the post of Minister in charge of the Internal Affairs Office." Remember, it's temporary. ”

Gonggong Gao couldn't help but laugh, and Mu Li sighed, silent, for a long time, before he said, "What is one more thing?" Your Majesty, you can say it together, the minister hurry up and do it, so that you can save a bad year. ”

"One more thing, that is, the factory guard you talked about earlier. After thinking about it, it's—"

Li Mu's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, did you agree?" That's great! ”

"No!"
