Chapter 317: Digging a pit at both ends

Liu Shenwei's medicine really worked, Ju Zhisheng used the medicine twice this morning and evening, and there was a trace of coolness in the back of the thigh, and there was almost no pain. Ju Zhisheng took a nap for an hour, and when he got up, he only felt refreshed, and the afternoon sun brought a trace of warmth, so he wanted to go out for a walk, so he got out of bed.

When he put on his shoes, he suddenly found that he could act. Although there was a strange feeling in the back of the thigh, there was no pain.

Ju Zhisheng was overjoyed, and when the injury was healed, he could continue his plan without delaying things. Ju Zhisheng came out of the back house and wandered around the courtyard. When he arrived at the Zhulu Hou Mansion, he had never been out of the wing, and he was also very curious about the place where Li Mu lived.

When the maid saw him, no one stopped him, and he saluted slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.

Just when Ju Zhisheng wanted to find someone to ask where Li Mu was, suddenly, a shrill voice came into his ears. Following where the voice came from, Ju Zhisheng found the side door of the lobby and secretly looked inside, and it turned out to be the eunuch who delivered the decree.

Li Mu bowed down to listen to the holy decree, and the eunuch was reading the holy decree.

“…… The Marquis of Li Shepherd, who chases the deer, has a valuable character and outstanding talents, and has won my heart. Now set up the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the imperial decree drove the Marquis Li Mu as the minister in charge of the three products, in charge of the internal affairs and the affairs of the palace and the imperial property. Authorized to act cheaply, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is appointed with officials below the sixth grade, and there is no need to notify the Ministry of Officials. I hope to do my best to share my worries and not disappoint me......"

Ju Zhisheng listened to the content of this holy decree and was shocked in his heart.

He knew that Li Mu was a big celebrity in front of the Tang Emperor, but he didn't expect that the Tang Emperor favored him to such a situation.

The seventeen-year-old military marquis, the seventeen-year-old member of the third rank, also authorized him to appoint officials below the sixth rank. What's the difference between this and Kaifu?

When the Tang Emperor was named the general of Tiance, it was almost like this. Although Li Mu's internal affairs office cannot be compared with Tiance Mansion, its nature is indeed similar.

To what extent will he be favored and trusted, and then he will delegate all the power to appoint officials? Although it is only below the sixth grade, it is staggering enough.

Yesterday, when I heard Li Mu talk about it, both the government and the opposition felt that he was Li Shimin's illegitimate son. Ju Zhisheng only listened to it as a joke, but now that he heard this holy decree, he also wanted to believe it a little. Even if it is the crown prince, the Tang Emperor may not be so indulgent.

"Thank you, Lord Ron!"

Li Mu's voice interrupted Ju Zhisheng's reverie. He hurriedly took two steps back, so that he would not be seen here.

But he still didn't leave, pricking up his ears and listening.

After listening to the edict, the eunuch finished reading the decree, and immediately changed to a flattering voice: "Congratulations to the Hou Ye, congratulations to the Hou Ye." Later, the palace supervisor returned to the Internal Affairs Office, and asked the Hou Ye to take care of one or two. ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "There is nothing to take care of, everyone is working for His Majesty, as long as they are loyal and willing to pay hard, there are naturally benefits." Although the palace supervisor was merged into the Internal Affairs Office, the affairs of the palace were still helmed by Gonggong Gao. He, the chief eunuch, is on an equal footing with me. ”

"Yes, yes, Father-in-law Gao is the godfather of our family, and our family should be filial. But on Master Hou's side, our family should be closer. ”

Li Mu laughed and said, "Who should I be a eunuch under my hands, so good at talking, it turns out that I am not an outsider." Then there is no need to be too polite, let me ask you something, when you come to give me a decree, can the Zhongshu Province have other decrees? ”

"Yes." The eunuch replied honestly: "There is also a holy decree for the imperial historian Wei Zheng, but we don't know the content." ”

"That's ......" Li Mu knew it in his heart, smiled, and said, "Okay, thank you for informing." It's not early today, and you have to rush back to reply to the decree, you have this little money, and you can't let you run in vain. ”

With that, a little goldfish handed it over.

But the eunuch didn't dare to ask for anything, and repeatedly refused, but he couldn't refuse, and he ran away.

Li Mu shook his head helplessly, put the gold bar back in his sleeve, and said to Dugu Jiu next to him: "Xiao Jiu, it's over, I've lost another fun." ”

Dugu Jiu didn't understand, and said, "Big brother, what's the fun?" ”

"Your eldest brother and I like to see others happy when they receive a reward. But now that you don't look at it, these eunuchs don't dare to ask for my reward. You say my reputation stinks? If I give him money, he doesn't dare to ask for it, what is he afraid of? ”

Dugu Jiu thought for a while and said, "The eldest brother is now the head of the Internal Affairs Office, and he will be able to manage them in the future." It's normal for them to be afraid. ”

"Yes." Li Mu smiled and said, "Okay, it's also saved money." ”

Li Mu turned around and saw Ju Zhisheng, and immediately smiled. handed the holy decree in his hand to Dugu Jiu to hold, walked up quickly, took his hand and said, "The son of the world can already get out of bed?" What a gratifying congratulations! I'll just say that Dr. Liu's medicine works, what does Shizi think now? ”

Ju Zhisheng hurriedly said: "It seems to be okay, thank you Lord Hou for your concern." He glanced at Li Mu's expression and said carefully: "Xiao Wang just walked here, and it seems that he saw a father-in-law leaving, but did anything big happen?" ”

He didn't dare to say that he overheard, Li Mu's temper was moody, and he was really afraid that Li Mu would be mad.

"Oh, the little things." Li Mu smiled, stretched out his hand to take the holy decree, unfolded it to Ju Zhisheng, and said, "Isn't it, I originally wanted to rest at home for a while to prepare for next year's Spring Festival." Who would have thought that Your Majesty would not let me be idle. He also made a decree that I should be the Minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, tsk...... Annoying! ”

Ju Zhisheng bowed his head, signaled that he didn't dare to offend, and hurriedly said: "Master Hou, please put away the holy decree, Xiao Wang doesn't dare to look at it." ”

"What is this, it's just a holy decree, there are no thirty in my house, but there are twenty, all piled up in the treasury, if you like, take away the collection. A holy decree is 10,000, and you want as many as you want. ”

"......" Ju Zhisheng's expression froze on his face, he really didn't know how to talk about this kind of topic.

Li Mu laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Shizi, Benhou is joking with you, what's the matter, isn't it funny?" ”

"Ahh Ju Zhisheng's face was abrupt, and he said: "It's funny, it's very funny, Hou Ye is really good at laughing." ”

"It's funny, Ben Hou hates people who can't afford to joke. If I meet that kind of person, I will never associate with him, even if I don't beat him. Li Mu dropped this sentence, threw the holy decree to Dugu Jiu, and said: "Throw it to the warehouse, and then instruct the cook, in order to celebrate the recovery of the prince, today make more pots of the nest that the prince likes, with vegetable soup, I want to get drunk with the prince." ”

When Ju Zhisheng heard the word 'wotou', he reflexively felt that his throat and eyes were choking. For the past two days, his food has been a nest, and he will vomit it when he eats it. At this time, when I heard the nest head, I didn't have time to think about it, and blurted out: "Don't do it!" ”

"Huh?" Li Mu frowned and looked at Ju Zhisheng, and said, "The prince doesn't give Ben Hou face?" ”

"No, that's not what I meant." Ju Zhisheng was so anxious that he stammered, and he was in a hurry, and said, "Master Hou, how dare Xiao Wang not give face to Master Hou." Xiao Wang remembered the words of the Hou Ye yesterday, when Xiao Wang was unable to move, it was helpless to disturb the house. Now that Xiao Wang can go to the ground, he should leave the Hou Mansion as soon as possible. So as not to bring trouble to Hou Ye when he is promoted. ”

Seeing that Li Mu's face was a little pale, Ju Zhisheng hurriedly said: "Therefore, Xiao Wang thought, while the door of the fang is still closed, go to the Ci'en Temple that Hou Ye said to settle down, what does Hou Ye think?" ”

"Well...... Li Mu pondered for a while and said, "It's okay, it's just that the hospitality is not good, Ben Hou feels that he can't go." ”

"Go with your will, go with your will!" Ju Zhisheng was afraid that Li Mu would not agree, so he hurriedly said: "Master Hou is really thoughtful to Xiao Wang, not only saved Xiao Wang's life, but also found a doctor to help Xiao Wang treat his injuries, in order to give Xiao Wang some guidance." Also, I also made Xiao Wang's favorite nest head...... If this is not thoughtful, what is considered thoughtful, Hou Ye must not be humble. ”

"Well, since you insist, then I will grant your wish. I've already asked people to go to the inn you mentioned, and your baggage is there, and you've taken it back. Pick it up later, and I'll get you a carriage to take you there." There is still a half-pot left in the kitchen, and you can bring it with you. ”

Li Mu held Ju Zhisheng's hand and said seriously: "Don't you know, the incense of Ci'en Temple is prosperous, and those bald donkeys eat steamed buns, not nests." If you go, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat this bite, you bring this half pot first, if it's not enough, bring a word, and I'll let someone make it for you. ”

Ju Zhisheng originally thought that Li Mu deliberately let him eat the nest head to play tricks on him. But now looking at the tears in Li Mu's eyes, it doesn't seem to be a lie, and it is contradictory again. The tip of his nose was slightly sour, and he was a little choked.

"Thank you Hou Ye, Hou Ye's kindness, Xiao Wang remembers it. It's just Xiao Wang's business, and please Hou Ye-"

"Don't worry!" Li Mu interrupted Ju Zhisheng's words and said, "You and I are familiar at first sight, how can I not value your affairs?" I've found a way for you. ”

"Doorway?" Ju Zhisheng never expected that Li Mu really helped him, and he was very curious while being moved, and said, "I don't know what way it is?" ”

"How's Uncle Guo's door?"

"You are talking about Zhao Guogong......" Ju Zhisheng didn't dare to say the full name of the eldest grandson Wuji, but when he saw Li Mu nodding, his heart suddenly burst into joy. In his heart, no matter how favored Li Mu is, he can't compare to the eldest grandson Wuji, who is in power and grew up with Li Shimin, to come directly. It is reported that after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he rewarded meritorious heroes. once bluntly said that the eldest grandson Wuji's contribution is the first. Before coming to Chang'an, when the Ju father and son were thinking about how to act, they also listed the eldest grandson Wuji as the first target to be wooed.

Ju Zhisheng said eagerly: "Thank you Hou Ye for your help, what should Xiao Wang do, and please ask Hou Ye for advice!" ”

"Well said!" Li Mu leaned close to Ju Zhisheng's ear and said, "Prince Zhao Guogong, you have a good relationship with me, I will introduce you to each other, if you get through his relationship, are you still worried that Uncle Guo won't help?" You are the prince of Gaochang, and he is the prince of Zhao Guogong, which can be regarded as quite. I don't have to be too clear about the preferences of young people, how to do it, you know. ”

Ju Zhisheng suddenly realized, and nodded again and again: "Thank you, Master Hou, Xiao Wang understands!" ”
