Tai Chi Temple.

Li Shimin's face sank like water, sitting cross-legged on the couch, and on his lap was the Longyuan Sword handed back by Li Mu.

He had been in this position for almost an hour, and no one dared to disturb him.

With a squeak, the door opened, and Gonggong Gao walked in cautiously, Li Shimin saw him and immediately asked, "What did that kid say?" What was done? ”

Gonggong Gao came to Li Mu and said, "Your Majesty, the Duke of Luoyang County—"

"Call him directly, he's the county duke, I won't give it to him!"

"Oh," Gao Gonggong said again, "Li Mu was carried to the prison of Dali Temple by eight people——"

"What?!" Li Shimin was furious, threw his sword aside, pointed at Gonggong Gao and shouted, "Eight people to carry? Ha, that's a big deal! My dragon is only carried by sixteen people, and he dares to sit on eight people to carry it? When you are what you are? Prince? ”

Gonggong Gao didn't dare to pick up the stubble, the emperor was obviously looking for fault when he said this. In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, except for the emperor's dragon bowl was carried by sixteen people, there were no strict regulations on the eight-person step, otherwise Chang He would not dare to find an eight-person step for Li Mu. In other words, although Li Mu was exaggerating, he did not violate the law.

But he can't say this, a fool is competing with the emperor.

Li Shimin scolded and said, "What's more, you go on!" ”

"Ah, also, when I learned that Li Mu was back, many people went to watch."

"Wait-and-see?" Li Shimin muttered angrily: "What are you looking for? He's a hairy boy, what is there to look forward to? Every time I travel, why don't the people wait and see? Could it be that my popularity is not as good as his? ”

Gao Gonggong still didn't dare to pick up, bowed his head and said nothing.

"You go on!"

"When I arrived at the prison of Dali Temple, Li Mu asked for eight dishes and one soup at night——"

"Presumptuous!" Li Shimin jumped to his feet and scolded: "I only eat one dish and one soup in one meal, I don't dare to waste the slightest, why should he eat eight dishes?" What is the prison of Dali Temple? How can you have spare money to cook eight dishes for him! ”

Father-in-law Gao whispered: "Your Majesty, he bought it at his own expense." ”

"Himself-" Li Shimin was choked and glared at Grandpa Gao fiercely, Grandpa Gao hurriedly knelt on the ground, not daring to look up at Li Shimin's eyes.

"Then forget it!" Li Shimin took a deep breath and said, "What else?" ”

"And ...... He asked the old slave to tell His Majesty that he missed his wife, and asked His Majesty to send his family to prison......"

"Shaft!" Li Shimin was so angry that he circled the ground: "This kid really doesn't take me seriously!" What is he supposed to be? Yes?! Gao Gan, you go to spread my will, immediately cut Li Mu, cut him now, don't kill him, my hatred will be hard to get rid of! ”

"Your Majesty, this ......" Gonggong Gao did not move, Li Shimin glared angrily, and said, "Why, you don't listen to my orders anymore?" Or did he give you some bribes! Let you go, you go, go quickly! ”

"Your Majesty, it's not that the old slave doesn't go, and he doesn't confiscate any bribes, but I'm afraid it's a little inconvenient at this time."

"What's the inconvenience?"

"When the old slave arrived, Dali Temple was already overcrowded. The Nine Bureaus and One Guard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs lined up for instructions, as well as the departments of the Ministry of Industry, related to the Dongcheng Factory, Chang'an Roadway Affairs, and affairs involving the Turkic Border City, Datang Mining, Datang Salt Industry, etc., because Li Mu had been gone for several months, and the backlog of affairs was piled up, so——"

Li Shimin's face was already red because of anger, and when he heard Gao Gonggong say this, his blood surged, and his face turned the color of pig liver, but he also calmed down because of this, he took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and asked, "That kid, what is his reaction?" ”

"He doesn't react, he does what he has to do."

Li Shimin frowned and said: "It's all in prison, and he is still in charge?" You're not lying to me, are you? ”

Gonggong Gao hurriedly pestled the ground with his head and said, "Your Majesty, the old slave is Your Majesty's minion, how dare you deceive Your Majesty." It is really what the old slave saw with his own eyes, Li Mu gnawed on the chicken legs, while listening to the report of the eldest grandson Chong and others, and scolded from time to time, if His Majesty does not believe it, he can send someone to see it again, the old slave does not have half a point of lies. ”

"This kid-" Li Shimin was very conflicted in his heart, Li Mu's murder in Gaochang, Hou Junji's flying pigeon biography had already told him the reason, and Li Mu thought the same, he didn't blame Li Mu, because Li Mu's approach was exactly what he wanted to do. It's just that if Li Mu didn't do this matter and let him decide, he wouldn't be able to do it, because he was a heavenly khan, and he had to pay attention to the impact. Li Mu poured dirty water on himself and relieved him of the trouble.

Throughout Li Mu's trip, everything won Li Shimin's heart. Only the matter with Wang Ou made Li Shimin annoyed. Li Shimin wanted to kill Li Mu, but it was completely out of personal feelings, firstly, because he hated love, and secondly, this person was Li Mu, and he couldn't accept it. Other than that, he didn't have the slightest annoyance at Li Mu. Even today's Li Mu's outrageous behavior, he also felt that it was nothing, because Li Mu was so arrogant and arrogant before, and he also liked Li Mu like this.

It is not a fault that a courtier has shortcomings, but if a courtier is extraordinarily capable and self-disciplined like a saint, it is a big problem.

Now I heard from Father-in-law Gao that Li Mu was in prison and was still handling affairs as usual. Li Shimin was moved in his heart, he felt a little ashamed of himself, he was selfish, and wanted to put Li Mu to death, and he knew that he was dying, and he had not picked a son to do his last effort for Datang. If Li Mu is really killed, Li Shimin himself feels that he is no different from the faint monarch recorded in the history books.

"Your Majesty......" Seeing that Li Shimin hadn't spoken for a long time, Gonggong Gao whispered: "If there is no order, the old slave will retire?" ”

"Go to the queen and send Li Mu's family over. Since he likes to go to prison, let them reunite with their family! ”

Li Shimin snorted angrily, but Gonggong Gao heard the sound outside the strings, snickered, didn't dare to make a sound, and quietly retreated.

Li Shimin put his hands behind his back and looked up at the moonlight outside the window. The Taiji Palace has also changed its glass windows, and the moonlight is extremely clear. Seeing the transparent glass window in front of him, Li Shimin was annoyed again, Li Mu, Li Mu, how good it would be if you weren't so good, and when I killed you, I wouldn't be so reluctant. You can choose all the women in the world, you are the daughter of the clan, and I will not be reluctant to give up, why do you want to rob the woman I like?

What the hell should I do......

Li Shimin looked at Mingyue in the sky, but unfortunately Mingyue couldn't give him any answer.

……

Dali Temple.

Sun Fujia looked at Dali Temple, which was like a vegetable market, and couldn't say a word. He was not the only one who was confused, but the officials didn't know what to do, and now the lowest one who could enter the courtyard was a layman. The main thing or anything is standing by the wall. Dali Temple is a serious place, but now there is still a little seriousness.

"Have you told Chang'an County about it? How many prisons can they vacate? ”

"Back to Lord Shaoqing, there is not enough space that can be vacated in Chang'an County, and Wannian County is almost the same. Shall we leave now, or shall we wait until dawn tomorrow? ”

"Let's go, let's go!" Sun Fujia had a splitting headache and said, "If you don't take the prisoners away, how can there be a place for these officials to live?" Didn't you look at those from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and brought all the luggage? Hurry up, my head is about to explode! ”

The official took the order out, Sun Fujia also came out of the house, and just after taking two steps, he saw Gonggong Gao and hurriedly came over: "How did Gonggong go and return?" Could it be that His Majesty has a will to release the Duke of Luoyang County? ”

Gonggong Gao glanced at him and said, "Why did Sun Shaoqing talk like this?" Could it be that you have something to say about Your Majesty's will? ”

"The lower officials don't dare, but they ......" Sun Fujia glanced at the other end of the cell and said, "You have also seen it, this is very inconvenient, isn't it?" Dali Temple is a fair and strict place, and now it is about to become a vegetable market, how is this good? ”

"You have to endure it if it's good or not." Gao Gonggong didn't have a good airway, he hooked his hand, Sun Fujia was stunned for a moment, then understood, and came over with his ear.

"You pick out the best two rooms, and then ...... Hire a mother-in-law to serve. ”

Sun Fujia was stunned for a moment and said, "Why is this?" ”

"Why, why, where are you so much? Isn't this that I've been out for a long time and miss my mother? His Majesty was gracious enough to reunite their husband and wife, and because his wife was pregnant, the queen instructed that they should take care of it, understand? ”

"This ......" Sun Fujia couldn't cry or laugh, squatting in prison to this part, it was really unprecedented.

"Gee, don't say anything about the inconsequential." Gao Gonggong guessed what Sun Fujia wanted to say, and rushed to the front and said: "People can't be compared with people, and rumors are not enough to believe." In my opinion, it won't take a few days, Hou Ye is still Hou Ye, oh no, county duke, county duke. Serve it well, talk too much, and cause trouble for yourself. ”

"Alas......"

What else could Sun Fujia say, so he had to order someone to go and empty the house. Poor Dali Temple, because Li Mu lived in, not only transferred the prisoners, but even the room where the duty officer lived had to be vacated, Sun Fujia really wanted to grit his teeth and stomp his feet, and he could resign from the last fold, and this official was not there at all.

……

"Teacher, here is a price list, which is the ...... from the new year to March."

"Husband!" Changsun Chong was holding a form to Li Mu to see, and suddenly there was a sound of 'husband', Li Mu was already about to fall asleep, hearing this shout, his eyes immediately widened, he pushed away Changsun Chong, rushed to the door of the cell, saw Li Zhien running over, stretched out his hand and grabbed the cell head outside the door, snatched the key, and opened the door of the cell himself.

The cell boss was stunned, he thought that the endless visits of these officials were already very excessive. But he obviously underestimated Li Mu, good guy, he took the key to open the door and went out, so what did he want the cell boss to do? He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but when he saw the eyes of Changsun Chong, Xu Ji and the others, he instantly dispelled this thought, glanced to the side, and hid in the corner.

"Grace! Why are you here! Your Majesty let you out? ”

"Husband......" Li Zhien's tears couldn't hold back, and he cried like a tearful person in the blink of an eye. Li Mu hurriedly comforted, and at this time a figure holding a sword walked over, through the mask, he couldn't see his expression, but Li Mu could see from his eyes how excited this kid was at this time.

"Big brother."

In one sentence, containing a thousand words, Li Mu nodded, and his eyes were a little moist.

"Xiao Jiu, come and drink!" Li Chongyi shouted in the next cell, Dugu Jiu nodded, and walked over by Li Mu's side. The cell door was locked, and Li Chongyi reached out to grab the iron chain, and with a slam (den), the iron chain was torn off. The cell boss shrank his neck in fright, and said in his heart What kind of monster is this, this cell can't control him at all!

"What about Madame? Your Majesty didn't let her go? Li Mu stretched his neck and didn't see anyone coming again, anxious, Li Zhien snorted, and said, "I know Mrs. Guan, I am also your wife, you don't care about me?" ”

"Oh, I've been away from home for months, and Madame still has a child in her belly, how can I not be in a hurry? Tell me, where is Madame? You were taken to the palace, and you weren't angry? ”

"Madame is also here, and outside, the cell is damp, and everyone has lived there, how can Madame come down? I'll talk to my wife and tell her to wait a while, and you'll see you when you go out." I didn't get angry when I entered the palace, we have been talking in the queen's palace, and when I just came over, the queen also asked Gao Gonggong to serve well. ”

"Ah, scare me." Hearing that Bai Qiaoqiao was fine, Li Mu's heart was relieved for the most part. He wanted Bai Qiaoqiao too much, and when he heard her waiting outside, he couldn't stay for a quarter of an hour, and said, "Let's go, let's see Madame." ”

"Hmm!" Li Zhien held Li Mu's hand, and regardless of what the jailer next to him thought, the two of them happily and swaggered out of the cell. The officials of the various departments of the Ministry of Industry who were waiting in line saw Li Mu come out, and bowed in unison. Li Mu didn't expect so many people outside, and said: "That, outside the prison door, remember who is before and after, and come to line up after tomorrow's hour, the county is tired today, and I can't see so many people, so let's get out." ”

"The subordinate obeys."

A group of people responded in unison, saluted, and turned to leave. The people who remained in the prison door were all overjoyed, Li Mu said this, which was equivalent to telling them that he could see them today, and it was not in vain to wait for this afternoon.

"Madame!"

As soon as he got out of the prison door, Li Mu saw the person who haunted him. I haven't seen him for a few months, Bai Qiaoqiao is a little plump, but the whole is still very slim, the abdomen is slightly bulging, Li Mu is a little in a hurry, he originally wanted to give Bai Qiaoqiao a big hug, but now he doesn't dare, for fear of hurting the child.

It was Bai Qiaoqiao who took the initiative to throw himself into his arms, Li Mu dared to gently hug him, and took a deep breath of the aroma around Bai Qiaoqiao's neck, Li Mu only felt that the fatigue of the bumps along the way seemed to be gone.

Li Zhien watched from the side, and his heart was full of taste. When Li Mu saw her just now, although he was also very happy, compared to when he saw Bai Qiaoqiao, it was obvious that he was compared, how could he not be jealous.

She also squeezed over, grabbed Li Mu's other arm and hugged herself, and buried her head in Li Mu's arms.
