Tai Chi Temple.

Li Shimin looked at the fold in his hand, his eyes were a little stagnant, obviously distracted. The eldest grandson Wuji watched the recital for him on his left side, the New Year was about to pass, and everything was back to normal.

"Your Majesty."

The eldest grandson Wuji called lightly, Li Shimin recovered from his stunned state, put down the fold in his hand, rubbed his swollen temples, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty is upset about Li Mu's affairs?"

Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "I can't hide anything from you, it's true." He handed the fold in his hand to the eldest grandson Wuji, and said: "Look at this fold, you can't find a trace of mistake in all sides, if you don't look at the name, can you guess that it was written by Li Mu?" ”

Eldest Sun Wuji looked at it, shook his head and said: "In the past, when Li Mu's words were unsightly, he could recognize them at a glance, but now his characters are taught by Ouyang Xun, and there are many people who imitate Ouyang Xun's words in the court, so they really can't see it." ”

"I'm not talking to you about his words, I'm talking about his character." Li Shimin said annoyedly: "I have been thinking for the past few days that Li Mu, a child, can have unexpected ideas that ordinary people can, which is directly related to his temperament. And when he came to my side, I repeatedly restrained him, making him uncomfortable. Let's just say this word, his words used to be ugly, I used to talk about him, and now he has written the words. Besides, this recital, his previous recital, how can there be any rules, just like usually talking and chatting, what comes to mind is what is what, I read it as if he was in front of me, vivid. And now the twists and turns, the rules are measured, there is not a word that should be said, and there is not a word that should not be said, which is exactly the same as the twists and turns of the Chinese and martial arts, and I read it like chewing wax......"

The eldest grandson Wuji interrupted: "Your Majesty, isn't this a good thing? ”

"Is that a good thing?" Li Shimin asked rhetorically and said with a wry smile: "Auxiliary, I don't think it's necessarily a good thing." Li Mu is not an ordinary person, and I restrain him with the law of an ordinary person, which will only make him separate from me. I have been reflecting on what happened last time for a long time. Li Mu is right, I am indeed excessive. Just because he can make money and don't care about money, I transferred the pressure that should have been borne by me and the court to him. Count his money as my money. As everyone knows, if anyone else changes, it is impossible to do what Li Mu is now. ”

"Not only did I not remember him as good, but I went even further...... When did I become such a person, and how did I become such a person! ”

Li Shimin sighed repeatedly, stunned. He didn't know that the eldest grandson Wuji was already in turmoil in his heart.

Li Mu! Li Mu!

What kind of magic does this son have that can make Li Shimin reflect on his own mistakes? You must know that Li Shimin is the emperor, and Li Mu is just a minister! Between the monarch and the minister, it is always the monarch who is right and the minister is wrong, because the monarch wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die! This is Tsunsune! That's the truth! That's the rule!

And Li Shimin would reflect on himself because of Li Mu's attitude, what does this mean? It shows that Li Mu is far more than a courtier in Li Shimin's heart. This honor, even if it is himself, the first person from the dragon's skill, and the eldest grandson Wuji, who is the uncle of the country, is incomparable!

Has this son grown to such a terrible degree?

The horror in the heart of the eldest grandson Wuji was beyond words, so he had to remain silent. Li Shimin looked at him like this, thinking that he had some scruples, and said with a smile: "Auxiliary, if you have something to say, between you and me, do you still need to worry?" ”

"Ah," the eldest grandson Wuji was a little distracted, but when Li Shimin asked, he had to answer, and he thought about it hurriedly, and said, "Your Majesty, it's hard for the minister to say this." In the hearts of the ministers, the outline of the monarch and the minister is often greater than the personal feelings, in the eyes of the minister, no matter what Li Mu has any dissatisfaction, he is a minister, and he cannot complain to the king, which violates the etiquette system. ”

Li Shimin smiled bitterly: "That's the case, but the auxiliary machine, you haven't seen it through yet." ”

"What didn't the minister see?"

"Li Mu, this child, he is different from ordinary people. Ordinary people compete for fame and fortune and want to show their ambitions. I can give them what they need, whether it is a reward or a reward. But what about Li Mu, if I hadn't forced him, would he have wanted to be an official because of his lazy temperament? With his ability, if he goes into business, who is his opponent? Maybe it's really as he said, go back to Dingxiang to farm. Now I need him, and he has nothing to ask for me, he is willing to share his worries for me, not for fame and fortune, but for love. ”

"And what I did hurt this feeling. If it completely breaks his heart, with his temperament, I am afraid that he will not contribute to me. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the shore of the land is not the king's minister, Your Majesty recruited him, does he dare not obey?" ”

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "Throughout the ages, which emperor has gained loyalty through persecution?" I can detain him in the court, but if he doesn't help, what else can I do? Li Shimin sighed and said: "I am also irritable, I don't know whether it is lucky or unlucky, God has given me a great talent, but I have an irritable temper, I am a dignified son of heaven, and I have to follow him, it is really enough to hold my breath." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji listened to it for a long time, and finally tasted it, and said, "What is Your Majesty going to do?" ”

"I heard that he was going to take a concubine on the Yuan Festival, but today he is thirteen, and I haven't seen him inform me, so I think I'm still angry. That's it, I can't go to compensate him, so I gave his concubine a five-grade edict, which should be a congratulatory gift. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was shocked and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be allowed!" The decree can only be given to the official's wife and biological mother, which is a ritual system. Your Majesty's move may cause criticism from the government and the opposition, and it will also damage Your Majesty's reputation! ”

Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "I haven't thought about it, but since Li Mu is not a very human, I also need to do extraordinary things." If the government and the opposition disagree, I have to ask them, who has Li Mu's talent, and I will treat it the same, if not, then there is nothing to dispute. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Shimin: "My will has been decided, the decree document has been sent, and there is no reason to change it." ”

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, the edict documents had already been sent out, so he was still arguing, being a bad person, sighing, and no longer speaking.

……

“…… Knowing the internal rules, as a famous family. The discipline is skillful, and the degree of Henghuang is allowed; The etiquette is pure, and the wind of apples and algae is restrained. Hereby with Qin's grace, I will bestow the title of Mrs. Wupin. ”

Gonggong Gao handed the edict document to Li Zhien, who was stunned, and said with a smile: "Second Mrs. Hexi, our family has lived for so long, and we haven't seen anyone in the side room who also sealed the edict, which shows Your Majesty's grace to the Marquis of Zhulu." ”

"Thank you, father-in-law." Bai Qiaoqiao saw that Li Zhien was stunned, took over the words, and said, "My father-in-law is tired, please sit in the lobby for a while and have a cup of tea." ”

"Then it's better to be respectful—"

Before the word "obey" could be spoken, a cold voice suddenly interjected: "Lady, Father-in-law Gao is very busy, I'm afraid I don't have time to drink tea." ”

Everyone looked for prestige, only to see that Li Mu had gone home. He had a drooping face, as if someone owed him money.

When Gonggong Gao saw Li Mu, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Master Hou is still angry?" ”

"How dare you, I'm afraid you'll order me." Li Mu snorted and said, "Father-in-law Gao, if you don't mention this matter, I will also mention it." I asked myself if I was good for my father-in-law, whether it was money, face, or things, I was worthy of my father-in-law, but my father-in-law's behavior was really chilling. Relying on his martial arts, bullying me who doesn't know martial arts, making me crooked and slanted in the market, how much face did I lose? Is it something that can be casually revealed? ”

Grandpa Gao smiled bitterly and said, "Master Hou, what do you say I can do?" One is Your Majesty, the other is you, why do I have to listen to Your Majesty, right? If you can't be angry, then you can also order me, let me crook my mouth and slanted eyes to swagger through the market, what do you think? ”

"I don't know how to do kung fu."

"So what do you say?"

"What should I do...... Li Mu raised his eyebrows and said, "Otherwise, you promised me one thing, which will make my heart happy." ”

Father-in-law Gao only begged Li Mu to turn this article over, and hurriedly said: "Master Hou, please say, as long as you can do it, you can do everything." ”

Li Mu looked serious, approached Gonggong Gao, and said, "Really? ”

"Hmm!"

"Good! Then I'll say it! Li Mu took a deep breath and said, "Let Xiao Chen's father-in-law go to the East Factory to be a factory father!" ”

"Huh?" Gao Gonggong thought that he had heard it wrong, he thought that Li Mu was talking about it so seriously, it had to be an extremely difficult thing to do, but he never expected it to be such a simple thing. Xiao Chen's father-in-law is his godson, and the relationship is much closer than Li Mu's, and just a few days ago, Xiao Chen's father-in-law went to visit him in the palace, and he had tactfully told him about it, and he agreed, in other words, this is not a matter at all.

What a road this is! Grandpa Gao was a little confused.

"Scareless, huh?" Li Mu looked at Gonggong Gao's stunned appearance, suddenly laughed, and said, "You really think I'm angry?" Ha, how can I, Li Mu, be a stingy person, you and I have a good relationship, will I break up with you because of this little thing? It's just that Xiao Chen's father-in-law mentioned it to me, and I agreed. I know you have many godsons, but only Xiao Chen's father-in-law, who has a good relationship with me, you have to sell me this face! ”

Gao Gonggong let out a sigh of relief and said, "Oh, my lord, you scared our family to death." Our family has been thinking about it for the past few days, Master Hou has a lot of them, how can he worry about me as an eggless person. Alas, where you are offended, you still look at Hou Ye Haihan. It's not a thing, Hou Ye said a word, it's so decided, cheap that little bastard. ”

"Refreshing and refreshing!" Li Mu beckoned his hand and ordered, "Xiaozhu, go and get a few bottles of perfume for your father-in-law." ”

"What's embarrassing—"

"It's okay, it's okay, the public can use it." Li Mu took the perfume brought by Xiaozhu, stuffed it into the hand of Gao Gonggong, and said: "Go back and thank Your Majesty for me, just say what I said, Your Majesty treats Li Mu seriously, and Li Mu has nothing to repay, but to repay him with his liver and brain." It was Li Mu before, please don't take it to heart, Your Majesty. This time, the concubine is not a big deal, so there is no treat, but the gift is still received, and His Majesty wants to give something, how much is not too much. Don't forget, father-in-law, we're good friends. In the future, when you get married, I will go back with you, and I will not take advantage of you. ”

The corners of Gao Gonggong's mouth twitched, but he couldn't bear to break out, and nodded with a bitter face. Don't say anything, let's break the fortune and eliminate the disaster!
