Chapter 708: Departure

"The gold bottle is drunk together, and the white blade is not spared."

Back in Taiji Palace, Gonggong Gao called the imperial doctor to help Li Shimin bandage the wound on his hand, Li Shimin stared at the blood oozing from the bandage on his palm, and muttered the poem that Li Mu had just recited.

After reading it several times, Li Shimin smiled bitterly. He looked at Gonggong Gao and said, "Is the auxiliary machine still outside the palace?" ”

Gao Gonggong bowed and replied: "Back to Your Majesty's words, Uncle Guo is still kneeling outside the palace. ”

"What should I do-" Li Shimin sighed, on the way back, the eldest grandson Wuji confessed everything he had done - because this could not be hidden, since the matter had failed, Li Shimin would definitely investigate, rather than being investigated by Yuan Tiangang, it was better to say it himself. Moreover, this time it was Li Shimin who shed blood for him, and he couldn't stop saying it.

And he dared to say that it was also because of this that Li Shimin was able to 'take the white blade empty-handed' for him, which is enough to show that in Li Shimin's heart, his eldest grandson Wuji's status.

Li Shimin didn't expect that the initiator of all this was really as Empress Changsun guessed, and it was the eldest grandson Wuji's doing. Li Mu was completely wronged from beginning to end. Thinking back to what he did to Li Mu during this period of time, Li Shimin himself couldn't wait to give himself two mouths. He asked himself, if he was Li Mu, he would never forgive himself.

The Longquan sword was given to Li Mu, and the first person Li Mu injured when he drew his sword was himself. Li Shimin recalled the details, Li Muding did it on purpose. He deliberately drew his sword and pointed at the eldest grandson Wuji, but he knew that he would not let the eldest grandson Wuji have anything to do, so this 'white blade does not spare each other', and the first one who does not spare is actually his own emperor.

is worthy of Li Mu, this kid is really bold enough, and there is no one in his eyes!

The white blade is not forgiving, his attitude has already been indicated. From now on, he will not forgive anyone who provokes him again. Li Shimin imagined the worst possibility, if Li Mu really wanted to rebel, would he succeed?

Now that the Turkic border troubles have been swept away and the world is peaceful, in fact, Li Shimin does not believe that there may be man-made rebellion in the Central Plains. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are now in the year of fighting, when the combat power is the strongest, above the court, the fierce generals are like clouds, even if the five surnames and seven sects are united now, it is absolutely impossible for them to destroy the Tang Dynasty.

But what if this person is Li Mu?

Li Shimin suddenly found that he was a little bottomless. Because Li Mu's tricks have always been whimsical and unpredictable. Now, Li Shimin regrets a little that he got Li Mu to Luoyang, Luoyang is the hinterland of the Central Plains, extending in all directions, if Li Mu is in charge of Luoyang, it won't take a few years-

With a thousand clues, Li Shimin didn't dare to think about it anymore, and said to Gao Gong: "Spread my will, Zhao Guogong said that he was sick and resigned, I did not allow it, he was allowed to recuperate, and the affairs of the Ministry of Officials were temporarily represented by the servants of the Ministry of Officials, and when he returned from his illness, he would continue to be reused." ”

Zhao Guogong resigned due to illness? Where did it come from? This thought shook in Gao Gonggong's head, and suddenly reacted, hurriedly said a promise, and turned around to go out to deliver the message.

Gonggong Gao told Li Shimin's meaning, and after speaking, he went in to resume his life. The eldest grandson Wuji faced the temple door and kowtowed, leading the order to thank him. When he got up, because he knelt for too long, his knees were a little numb, and he almost fell, and was held up by a little eunuch.

The eldest grandson Wuji was about to thank him, but he heard the little eunuch say: "Uncle Guo, the slave maid was sent by the queen mother to wait for Uncle Guo, and the mother said that she was very disappointed in Uncle Guo, and before Your Majesty forgives Uncle Guo, please don't enter the palace again." ”

"The queen, she-" The eldest grandson Wuji opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything, and responded dejectedly, saying: "Please tell the queen, just say that everything I do is for the eldest grandson, I ......" After a pause, the eldest grandson Wuji sighed and said: "That's it, let's go back like this." ”

"Okay, slave and maid remember." The little eunuch answered, but did not move. The eldest grandson Wuji looked at him, only to see the little eunuch's right index finger and thumb twisting endlessly, which was no longer a hint, but an explicit. The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but blow up his lungs, when did the little eunuch of the Lizheng Palace dare to ask for his own food? Although I occasionally give it on weekdays, it's called a 'reward', and if I take the initiative to ask for it, the nature will change. If it is a eunuch of the level of Gonggong Gao, it will be enough, a little eunuch who has spoken to him would dare to -

The eldest grandson Wuji was about to get angry, but suddenly stopped. His movements froze in mid-air, and then he withdrew his raised hand and took out an ingots from his bosom instead.

"It's a little meaning, I'm tired of my father-in-law, I must pass the word to the queen word for word."

When the little eunuch saw that it was five taels of silver, he was satisfied, put it in his sleeve without leaving a trace, said 'no', and left satisfied.

Back in the Lizheng Palace, the little eunuch told what had just happened, and then took out the silver and respectfully handed it to the eldest grandson queen. It turned out that the little eunuch's practice was actually arranged by the eldest grandson.

Empress Changsun rewarded the little eunuch with the silver again, and said, "You have done a good job, go down." ”

The little eunuch went happily, and the eldest grandson queen turned a page of the female training in her hand, and the book told a story about a woman marrying a husband.

Everything in the eldest grandson's family is given by the royal family, and the skin will be attached without hair? Anything that harms the royal family will do more harm than good to the eldest grandson. Without the Holy Family, Uncle Guo is also penniless, and no one will look down on him-

I hope my brother can understand.

β€”β€”

The matter of the blood test soon spread all over Chang'an City, and the process of twists and turns, reversal and reversal, was talked about by the people after dinner. In order to verify the authenticity, some good people really asked their brothers and sons to try, which led to a lot of contradictions, but this is a digression.

This is the point that the people are concerned about, and the nobles, gate lords, scholars, etc., are concerned about another point, and they began to endanger themselves, because they suddenly found that Li Mu was fine, and he was fine!

If he's fine, it means that someone is going to have trouble! The successive downfalls of bigwigs such as Wang Qi and Changsun Wuji were regarded by the government and the opposition as the clarion call for Li Mu's counteroffensive.

The sentence 'The golden bottle is drunk together, and the white blade is not spared', which is more like a slogan, announcing Li Mu's determination to draw the sword.

His sword, even the emperor's blood dares to drink, what else does he not dare? Not to mention, Shang Fang's sword was originally cut first and then played. Your Majesty feels guilty about Li Mu, even if Li Mu is looking for an excuse to kill a few people now, Your Majesty will not trouble him, and these unlucky bastards, aren't they dead in vain?

Some of the people who danced the most happily when Li Mu was impeached before, and some even ran for their lives overnight, for fear of staying in Chang'an City and being poisoned by Li Mu.

But in fact, this is just the assumption of a thief with a weak heart. Li Mu didn't do anything, he was packing up, and by the way, he also took care of some things, for example, his business in Chang'an.

After Li Mu cleared the shares of Datang Salt Industry and Datang Mining, his industry was actually very clear. He has the theater of Lichun Courtyard, the gambling house of the Four Seas Gambling House, the women's special store of Fengqiuhuang, and some miscellaneous and small ones, which can be ignored, and the main bosses are these.

He is not ready to continue to operate Lichun Courtyard, because Jin Chen wants to follow him to Luoyang, and he doesn't want to stay in Chang'an City, and if Jin Chen is not there, Lichun Courtyard is equivalent to having no pillars, and as a 'Pure Pavilion', the income is not very objective. However, if he didn't continue to operate, it seemed a pity, Li Mu thought about it, found Cheng Yanjin, and gave him Lichun Yuan at a very fair price.

Of course, Cheng Yanjin is very happy, he got Lichun Courtyard, plus the income from the horse farm and Marseille, after Li Mu left, his Cheng family was the first in Chang'an in the real sense. With an annual income of hundreds of thousands, a family is comparable to a sect.

The Four Seas Gambling House can't be closed yet. Because of the Four Seas Casino, it now has the responsibility of issuing currency. The unique 'glazed chips' of the Four Seas Gambling House have become a large amount of currency recognized by all parties, and even many merchants who come and go to the Silk Road choose to deposit their money in the Four Seas Gambling House, and only bring glass chips back and forth, so as to facilitate large transactions, and there is no need to worry about the wealth being robbed by others, and the secrecy is very high.

In order to avoid trouble in the future, Li Mu found Fang Xuanling and asked him to send someone from Shangshu Province to take over the bank of the craftsman's workshop first, and then use the bank to 'control' the Sihai Gambling House, turning the Sihai Gambling House from a 'private enterprise' to a 'state-owned enterprise'.

As for the phoenix, it's simple. The four big girls of Meilan Zhuju have all been trained now. Leaving Xiaozhu with Xiaoju can deal with it, Xiaomei and Xiaolan can also go to Luoyang with him and open another Fengqiuhuang, Li Mu plans to build Fengqiuhuang into a chain store.

The rest is the Bashang Distillery.

The production of the winery depends on the koji that Li Mu bought from the system store, that is to say, without Li Mu, the winemaking industry is not successful, the winery is profitable, and he is out of his sight for a long time, Li Mu is not at ease, others don't say, Cheng Bites Jin He is very uneasy, so he decided to dismantle the Bashang winery directly, disassemble the equipment into parts, load it on a cart, and directly transport it to Luoyang to choose a place to build a new winery.

The rest of the things, including his dozens of acres of land, he handed over all of them to Bai Hao'er. Although Bai Hao'er said falsely that without Li Mu, he couldn't manage this big mess by himself, but Li Mu could see how happy he was in his heart. Li Mu doesn't care, he can't take these remaining things away, and if he gives them to others, he will be blind in vain, so it is better to give them to Bai Hao'er, no matter how he says it, he is his own father-in-law.

Everything in the small courtyard of the valley was to be taken with him, especially the things in his studio, all of which were packed into trucks. The Xiaoyao Valley that was about to be completed, Li Mu didn't enjoy it for a day, but he didn't want it anymore, so he just gave it to Li Yuan. The valley is like spring all year round, and it is perfect for retirement.

After dealing with these things, Li Mu did not enter the palace to say goodbye to Li Shimin, but only said goodbye to the Sun family, and then took Bai Qiaoqiao and Jin Chen, under the escort of Su Dingfang, and left Chang'an at dusk.

……

Tai Chi Palace.

Li Mu left, he walked as fast as he could, and even many things that he didn't have time to deal with, he handed them over in one go, cut his flesh and broke his wrist, and just left.

Li Shimin looked at the news reported by the bad people, and the remorse in his heart was even more.

He knew that he had completely injured Li Mu, so Li Mu would go so resolutely, even at the cost of huge losses, he had to draw a line with Chang'an. He didn't know what else he could do to save Li Mu's heart. Apologize? It's not that it can't, if it's useful, Li Shimin will definitely apologize, and even don't hesitate to make an edict, he can do it.

But Li Mu's sentence of drinking the golden bottle together, and the white blade did not forgive, dispelled his idea. The wound in the palm of his hand had not yet healed, reminding him that it would be futile to do so.

Maybe time will make this forget?

Can you?

Li Shimin didn't know, he didn't even know if letting Li Mu go this time was to raise tigers!

"Your Majesty." Empress Eldest Sun's voice sounded, and Li Shimin looked back at her, as if he saw a life-saving straw, and hurriedly walked over: "Empress, I have something in my heartβ€”"

"Your Majesty, isn't the matter settled now?" Empress Eldest Sun smiled and said, "The concubine heard that when Li Mu was leaving, she also gave His Majesty a big gift?" In the Four Seas Gambling House, Li Mu gave His Majesty more than half of the shares, and the surplus of hundreds of thousands of yuan a year, Li Mu was really willing to do it. ”

Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said, "The more Li Mu is like this, the more I feel sorry for him." He looked at Empress Eldest Sun and said, "Innocent, do you think I am a villain?" ”

"How can Your Majesty be presumptuous?" Empress Changsun heard Li Shimin call her own life, and her heart was a little moved, Li Shimin has not called this name for many years, and when he has not become the emperor, he often calls this name, at that time, this name is more than warm, and when the two of them are the emperor and the other is the queen, such a title seems inappropriate, and the feelings of the two are also divided a lot.

"If the world is in chaos, it is the people who suffer, and Your Majesty must think the same way."

"I'm not." Li Shimin smiled bitterly and admitted the devil in his heart: "If the eldest brother's heir is someone else, I really don't care so much, but if it is Li Mu, I, I am really a little scared." ”

The emperor was afraid of his courtiers?

Empress Changsun was slightly surprised in her heart, she looked at Li Shimin, who was a little fragile in front of her, and couldn't believe that this sentence came out of his mouth, is this still the one in her heart, riding on a horse and rushing to kill, as if a god descended to earth?
