Li Shimin finally failed to stop Li Yuan, and returned to the Taiji Hall from Da'an Palace with a wry smile. sat on the Hu bed, took out the eight-fold VIP gold card given by Li Yuan from his sleeve, and smiled bitterly.

Since Li Shimin conquered the world at the age of seventeen or eighteen, he has hardly spent money with his own hands. And even if he spends money, he has always paid the bill directly, and when he has never bargained, he really can't imagine that one day, he will receive something like a two-fold card, or from his father, Li Yuan.

Don't think about it, this thing must have nothing to do with Li Mu. Li Shimin smiled, put the card aside, hesitated, called Gao Gonggong over, and said, "Gao Gan, you can keep this thing, maybe you can use it." ”

"No," Gao Gonggong replied and carefully put away the gold card.

At this time, Empress Changsun came into the palace, and Li Shimin saw it, beckoned the queen to come over and sit next to him.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has already sorted out the account books of the internal treasury, etc., is this going to be sent to Li Mu?"

"Don't worry, my father's business is open today. I, as a son, how can I not be there...... I will leave the palace with my father, and I can arrange for the protection of my father. You've all heard about it, my father decided to stay in heaven and earth forever and not return to the palace. ”

"I heard that." Empress Eldest Sun said worriedly: "In the morning, the concubine has already gone over to persuade once. But the father is determined this time, no matter what the concubine says, he will not change his mind. Your Majesty, the concubine was terrified, did the concubine do something inconsiderate and annoyed her father, otherwise how could it be so......"

"Don't worry too much about it, queen." Li Shimin took the hand of Empress Changsun and said, "I have just gone to see my father, and in my opinion, this matter must be counted on Li Mu's kid, and he must have done it." I also have to blame me, ignoring my father's thoughts, life in this palace is boring, and I don't blame my father for being bored. ”

Empress Eldest Sun smiled and said, "Your Majesty doesn't need to blame yourself, there are already a lot of things in the court every day, Your Majesty is just one person after all, it is understandable that he lacks skills, and he is not a concubine." ”

"Nobody's not, it's a little bit special. Okay, let's not talk about that. If the queen has nothing to do today, it is better to go out of the palace with me and give her father a show, and simply call Shang Chengqian and Qingque together, and my father will be happy. ”

"This ......" Empress Eldest Sun hesitated a little and said, "I'm afraid it's not in line with the etiquette." ”

Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "Queen, my father and emperor have already advertised in the Liangyi Palace, and now who in the court and the opposition doesn't know that heaven and earth are the property of my father, but I just don't say it." You and I will go together, and no one will say anything. Now, as long as I make my father happy, I will not give up as a son. ”

"Okay," Empress Changsun got up and said, "Then the concubine will go to the East Palace, and the concubine will also send someone to inform Qingque." ”

Li Shimin nodded, and then instructed Gonggong Gao to make preparations. The emperor and queen went out of the palace together, which is a big deal, even if the situation is special this time, and there is no need for a guard of honor, but the security work is also very complicated, Gao Gonggong has to prepare in advance, and how to protect Li Yuan in the future, he must also come up with a charter as soon as possible, select people, and survey the terrain, which is not something that can be dealt with casually.

No matter how the palace arranges, on the side of the Hou Mansion, Li Mu and his party have already gone out. Today is considered a 'nest dispatch', Li Siwen has brought Nazha, Li Mu naturally has no reason not to bring Bai Qiaoqiao and Li Zhien, plus Li Chongyi and the four guards, and the group marched towards Chongrenfang in a mighty manner.

The white horse ridden by Li Mu was rewarded by Li Shimin, and it was sent by the people of the Imperial Horse Supervisor this morning, and it was snow-white without a trace of variegation, and it was a unicorn when he pressed a bull's horn. Li Mu was very satisfied, when he was a child, he listened to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms commentary, and his favorite was Zhao Yun's paragraph, with silver guns and white horses, seven in and seven out, invincible. It's enough to be invincible, but seven in and seven out and a silver gun and white horse can still fight for it.

Last night, he did seven in and seven out, and now with the white horse, he is only one silver gun away from Zhao Yun.

Li Mu lowered his head and glanced down, I don't know if this gun is a silver gun, if it is, Lao Tzu is now Zhao Yun. Li Siwen rode a horse next to him and saw Li Mu's expression, shook the reins of the horse and leaned over, and said, "Brother, what do you want?" ”

"It's not about you!" Li Mu was a little annoyed that Li Siwen didn't listen to him and didn't give him a good look.

"What are you doing?" Li Siwen grinned and said, "Brother, I know you are angry with me, but don't worry, what you and I have done is a good thing." I can't tell you now, you'll know when tonight is over. ”

Li Mu glanced at him and said, "You are quite beautiful?" Let me tell you, the people here today are not ordinary people, and if something happens, you won't be able to eat and walk around. ”

"Oh, don't worry, it's a good thing to say it's a good thing. Why did you become so verbose, it's really ......" Li Siwen turned his horse's head and left, Li Mu sighed and called Li Chongyi over.

"No matter what happens today, you can't leave Madame."

Li Chongyi nodded, signaled to the guards behind him, and the four horses were divided into four directions, tightly guarding the carriage.

After a short time, he came to heaven and earth.

Li Mu got off the horse, and Xiao Chen's father-in-law greeted him. He also just arrived, and brought the first batch of things from the Emperor Taishang to settle down, mainly some of Li Yuan's application things, and the fine and soft things he carried with him would come with Li Yuan.

"Master Hou, you're really not in a hurry, our family is about to die, you see, your hands are shaking now."

Li Mu smiled: "Everything is ready, now it's time to open, just wait to make money, what's there to worry about." I haven't congratulated my father-in-law yet, but now I'm the manager of this heaven and earth? ”

Earlier, when Li Mu formulated the charter for heaven and earth, he had already pointed out the concept of 'manager', which was interpreted as 'a person who operates and manages', referred to as a manager, which is also in line with the thinking of the ancients. This little Chen father-in-law is a slave close to Li Yuan's side, and he has been staring here before, and the position of this manager is naturally that he has not run away.

"Eh, don't mention this." Xiao Chen's father-in-law sighed and said, "The Emperor Taishang has decreed that you will be the manager, Master Hou, our family is just an assistant manager." Everything is up to you. It's a pity that we have worked so hard, but we still can't catch up with the weight of the Hou Ye in the heart of the Emperor. ”

Li Mu heard the sour taste and said with a smile: "The Emperor Taishang prefers it, I can't always be here, aren't you presiding over the specific affairs, sooner or later this position is yours." Li Mu turned around and took a purse from Li Chongyi's hand, handed it over with a smile, and said, "The day before yesterday, I was tired of my father-in-law to help each other, and a small gift is not a tribute." ”

"How embarrassing is that!" Xiao Chen's father-in-law said this in his mouth, but he was not slow at all, he took the purse, as soon as he passed his hand, he had a count in his heart, at least twenty or thirty taels of silver, and suddenly there was no sourness in his tone, and he smiled and put the silver in his arms, and said: "Hou Ye is really the God of Wealth, our family will not be in the palace in the future, and we will have to rely on Hou Ye." ”

"Not in the palace?" Li Mu was puzzled and asked, "What does my father-in-law mean by this?" ”

Xiao Chen's father-in-law told Li Mu of Li Yuan's decision, and said with a wry smile: "The queen came to persuade me in the morning, and His Majesty also persuaded me just now, and no one should have the idea of the emperor." When I just left the palace, the Emperor Taishang also said that from now on, we are all new identities and new people, and we are not compatible with the past. I also have to change my name, the emperor gave the name Chen Guan, and in the future, the Hou Ye will call us Xiao Chen. ”

Chen Guan? Li Mu raised his eyelids, and the man who used to dominate the photography circle appeared in his mind, the Emperor Taishang really deserves to be a suspected traverser, and his name is so good.

"What is the name of Xiao Chen, naturally he wants to be called Manager Chen."

"Yes, yes, you too, Manager Li."

The two of them exchanged a wave of business, Xiao Chen's father-in-law went to settle things, Li Mu smiled, called a waiter, and asked her to take Bai Qiaoqiao and the others to the private room on the second floor. Nazha also followed, and Li Siwen did not go with him, but followed Li Mu.

"Brother, you were laughing so hypocritically just now...... It's just a eunuch, what are you polite to him? ”

"Hades is good, but the little ghost is difficult. He is a close attendant of the Emperor Taishang, what good is it to offend him? Spend some money, just buy a doorway, don't you think you used it the day before yesterday? ”

"Yes." Li Siwen nodded, paused, and said, "But if it's me, I don't have that patience." ”

"Okay, it's okay to wander around by yourself, I'm still busy."

"Well, I'll see if Qin Huaiyu and they came, if they came, I would show off." Li Siwen said and left, but Li Mu stayed on the first floor, although it is still early to open, but the gift giver is coming soon. The Taishang Emperor's business, there are ministers with names and surnames in the court, princes and nobles, who are not allowed to prepare a gift. There must be a knowing guest here, and Li Mu came early today to act as this knowing guest. More importantly, he also really likes the feeling of someone giving gifts.

Just as I was pondering, someone arrived. Shen Guogong Gao Shilian, Li Mu had a relationship with him, and he was also present on the day of the Taimiao sacrifice. Li Mu has a good memory, although he has only met once, he remembers his appearance.

"Shen Guogong, the kid is polite."

"Ah, Zhuluhou." Gao Shilian smiled and said: "The reputation of the deer marquis, the old man has often heard people talk about it these days, and he is indeed a hero out of a young man." I heard that Your Majesty has appointed you as an internal decree to take charge of the royal property, which is really discerning. In this heaven and earth, it must also be the idea of chasing the deer, right? ”

The news is spreading so fast!

"It's just a little talented, and that's all it takes to be vulgar. can't get on the stage, isn't it, I've only been an official for a few days, and I'll let people rush down. ”

"How can you say that, the old man heard that you resigned by yourself. Wei Zheng has always had sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, and he is willing to bow down in front of you, and he is terrible in the future! As he spoke, Gao Shilian leaned closer, and said in a suppressed voice: "Li Mu, in order to save you this time, the old man lost a mine, if you don't make it up for me, the old man will not finish with you." ”

After speaking, he patted Li Mu's shoulder with a smile and said, "The future is terrifying!" ”

Li Mu also smiled: "Shen Guogong upstairs, please." ”
