At the end of the ceremony, hundreds of officials lined up and retreated. Li Mu also followed the flow of people and walked out, and suddenly someone dragged him, Li Mu looked over and found that it was Xiao Chen's father-in-law beside the emperor, so he quickly stopped and arched his hand: "Xiao Chen's father-in-law called me something?" ”

"It's the Emperor Taishang who called you, come with me."

After that, Xiao Chen's father-in-law led the way in front, and Li Mu followed behind, bypassing the flow of people and coming to the side gate of Taimiao. Entering through the side door, I saw that Li Yuan and Li Shimin were there, in addition to them, there were also the eldest grandson Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Li Ji, Tang Jian, Cheng Yanjin, this is what he knows, and there are a few he doesn't know, Li Mu guessed that they should also be important ministers in the court.

In contrast, Li Mu was just a small shrimp, and he quickly lowered his head, followed behind Xiao Chen's father-in-law, and came to Li Yuan's side.

"Lift your head up." Li Yuan frowned and said when he saw Li Mu's cowardice. Li Mu glanced up, his head was raised, but his eyes were still on the ground, so angry that Li Yuan aggravated his voice and said, "Raise your head to me!" ”

Li Shimin knew that Li Mu didn't dare, and said: "The Emperor asks you to look up, you just look up!" ”

"Hey, your lord's decree."

Li Mu raised his head.

Li Shimin asked: "Father, what is the matter with you leaving your son and the important ministers of the court, and calling Li Mu over?" ”

"Ah, it's not a big deal." Li Yuan wrote lightly: "I have a tight relationship with Li Mu, and I want to go further and recognize him as a righteous son!" ”

"What?!" Li Shimin almost fainted when he heard this, and the courtiers also looked at each other, unable to believe what they heard with their ears. The Emperor wants to recognize his godson? Just this kid in front of you? It's ridiculous!

Li Shimin was originally happy because Li Yuan gave face, but his mood fell to the bottom in an instant. He was still wondering just now, how could his father be so cooperative today, and perform a scene to the fullest, but he didn't expect to wait here!

If it was an ordinary thing, even if it was a little excessive, Li Shimin would endure it and agree. But he really couldn't agree to this. Since Li Mu came to Chang'an, his title and official position have been promoted again and again, not to mention the Tang Dynasty, even if he counts several dynasties and generations in the past, there has never been such a thing. is already extremely favored, now Li Yuan wants to recognize him as his godson, this is worth it, if he really agrees, won't he and Li Mu be called brothers and sisters in the future?

Li Shimin took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and said, "Father, in front of the ancestors and ancestors, you can't laugh!" ”

Li Yuan turned his face and said, "Do you think I seem to be joking?" ”

"It's ridiculous!"

Seeing that Li Shimin was angry, Li Mu had to speak, and said, "Emperor Tai, it's really inappropriate." The minister already has a father-in-law, and the minister's father-in-law is Li Ji, so there is no way to be your son. Li Mu looked at Li Ji for help, and Li Ji stood up and said: "Emperor Taishang, this is indeed the case, Li Mu and the dog Li Siwen are worshipped, and the minister is his father-in-law." ”

Li Yuan looked at the other important ministers and said, "Don't you support me either?" ”

The ministers all bowed down and said, "Please ask the Emperor Taishang to retract the order, this matter violates the etiquette system and is really inappropriate." ”

"Humph! The emperor just doesn't work for the emperor, and no one listens to what he says. Li Yuan said with a cold face: "I like Li Mu, and I am a friend who has forgotten the year." But there are some people who rely on their own family name and don't take my little friend in their eyes. Rushed into his family and bullied him for having no roots. This incident made me very angry! ”

"Father, let the son explain ......"

Before Li Shimin could finish speaking, Li Yuan interrupted him and said, "I didn't say that you were wrong, as an emperor, you have a lot of things to consider, and the punishment is in accordance with the law, that's right." But I'm angry, Gaomen's surname? Scold! Who gave them the guts not to put me in their eyes? ”

Li Shimin wanted to say something, but was stopped by the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji. Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and then he also understood, Li Yuan killed two birds with one stone, obviously for Li Mu, but in fact, he was looking for the stubble of the surname of the high family, and paved the way for Li Shimin's future policies.

"I want to accept Li Mu as a righteous son, but you don't agree. Okay, I am now the emperor, you don't listen to what I say, but I am still a member of the Li family in Longxi, Li Mu is not in the eyes of the Gaomen surname, because he looks down on him from a humble background. I want to include Li Mu in the clan today, this has nothing to do with the government, do you want to stop it? ”

The ministers all looked at Li Shimin, Li Shimin sighed, and said, "If my father is insistent, then ...... Then Li Mu was given to the Li clan in Longxi. ”

"Good!" Li Yuan didn't wait for the ministers to speak, and said directly: "Today, I want to include Li Mu in the clan register, come to people, pen and ink." ”

Xiao Chen's father-in-law put on the pen and ink, invited the clan, Li Yuan took the pen and filled in Li Mu's name, and suddenly asked: "Have you been crowned, do you have a table word?" ”

"Huh?" Li Mu hadn't even heard of it at all, Li Ji hurriedly said: "Emperor Taishang, Li Mu went out of the surrounding city, there are not so many rules there, it should be that the crown salute has not been performed yet, it is better to ...... another day."

"I've thought of what to change." As he spoke, he gestured to Xiao Chen Gonggong beside him, and Xiao Chen Gonggong turned around and took a tray with a beam crown on it.

When Li Shimin and the ministers saw each other, they all smiled bitterly in their hearts, it turned out that the Emperor Taishang had already prepared everything.

"Today's double happiness is coming, first, Li Mu joined the Li clan in Longxi, and second, it is also Li Mu's crowning gift. Li Mu, after being crowned, he will be an adult. Adults should have a table, I will give you a tablet today, and you can tell me, what are your wishes in life? ”

"Volunteer?" Li Muleng paused, he wanted to say something such as 'Ande Mansion Tens of Millions, the world is full of cold people', but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly choked up, and spit out a sentence in half a loud voice: "The minister has many ambitions, but if you can only choose one of them, the minister only looks forward to spending this life with his family, carefree, and at ease." Saying that, Li Mu smiled bitterly and said: "The minister has imagined, the emperor should not take it seriously." You can take the words at will, and the minister has no opinion. ”

"Carefree, at ease......" Li Yuan read it again, and suddenly laughed: "What a carefree, so carefree." I also hope to be such a person, but I am afraid that I will not have a chance in this life, but you are still very young, and I hope that you can be a person who is at ease. In this case, I will give the word 'Xiaoyao' as your cousin, and from now on, you will be Li Xiaoyao! ”

Li Yuan said as he wrote the three words Li Xiaoyao on the top of the clan register.

Li Mu was stunned.

Li Shimin frowned and said, "Haven't you ever thanked the Emperor for his grace?" ”

"Ahh Minister Li Mu thanked ......"

"Huh?" Li Yuan said unhappily: "You still call yourself Li Mu? But you're not satisfied with the words I gave you? ”

"No, no, no, the minister is satisfied, satisfied." Li Mu hurriedly said: "Minister Li Xiaoyao, Emperor Xie gave the table." ”

"Good!" Li Yuan personally put a beam crown on Li Mu, looked up and down, was quite satisfied, and said: "You are all witnesses, after today, Li Mu will be a member of the Li family in Longxi, and he will spread the word for me, ranking in a high-ranking family, and weighing things, although I am already the emperor, I have not died yet!" ”

The ministers agreed, Li Yuan laughed a few times, and pulled Li Mu away.
