The eldest grandson Wuji is above the court, and most of the time he is silent. Because of his identity, he can say something when he helps Li Shimin watch the twists and turns, and he doesn't have to take risks in front of hundreds of officials. If he opens his mouth and is rejected by the emperor, it will damage his prestige. It is precisely because of this that the eldest grandson Wuji gives people the illusion that he either doesn't open his mouth, and he can make a final decision when he opens his mouth.

But today, the eldest grandson Wuji did not get angry with Li Shimin. So after he finished speaking, he regretted it for a while, but even if he regretted it, he had to say these words, if he didn't say it, if Li Shimin agreed, it would be a golden mouth, and there was nothing to change. At that time, even if Li Shimin can be convinced, he will not be able to change anything, do you want the emperor to take back what he said? Where is the majesty of the emperor?

So he had to say it, and he had to say it at the risk of offending the emperor's brother-in-law!

The Liangyi Hall was silent, and all eyes were cast between Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wuji. Li Shimin looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and the eldest grandson Wuji also looked at Li Shimin, for a long time, the corners of Li Shimin's mouth curved a little, and he smiled meaningfully, and then retracted his gaze and said: "The auxiliary machine is reasonable, this matter should not be rushed, I am tired today, and I will discuss it tomorrow, what do you think about this, go back and write an excerpt, let's disperse." ”

After saying that, Li Shimin waved his hand and walked away.

Gao Gonggong shouted at the top of his voice to disperse the court, and the hundred officials withdrew from the hall in turn.

The eldest grandson Wuji sweated like rain, he noticed Li Shimin's smile, others may not know what it means, but the eldest grandson Wuji grew up with Li Shimin, and he knows too well the meaning of Li Shimin's every move. Only when he is really angry will Li Shimin laugh like that. Moreover, this smile also indicates that he has made up his mind. didn't make an order on the spot today, it gave him a face, but most of this matter has already been settled!

The eldest grandson Wuji looked back at Li Mu, he thought that Li Mu would be proud, but Li Mu didn't look proud at all, he was pouting and provoking the people of Yushitai, usually he looks like this, and today he is still like this.

The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but wonder, was this really not the mastermind of Li Mu? Was it His Majesty's idea?

Just when he was puzzled, Wang didn't know when he stood beside him, and the eldest grandson Wuji retracted his gaze and looked at him, frowning and said, "What to do?" See my jokes? ”

"Uncle Guo, when is this coming, let's stop arguing! Let's think about what to do, I'll have a banquet in the mansion tonight, Uncle Guo...... Can I enjoy the light? ”

Due to the different factions, the eldest grandson Wuji never went to the banquet in the palace, and the king rarely invited him. But this time it was different, Li Mu, or the emperor's butcher's knife was already on their necks, no matter which faction, they had to unite in order to compete with the imperial power.

Eldest Sun Wuji hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay." ”

The king let out a long breath and said, "Thank you, uncle! ”

As soon as the words fell, Gonggong Gao went and returned, and said, "Chase the deer and stay behind, Your Majesty summons you!" ”

The people who hadn't walked out of the hall all looked at Li Mu, Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Oh, why did Your Majesty summon me again, didn't you just see it yesterday, it's really ...... Alas, not even breathing! ”

Everyone listened with their ears pricked up, and suddenly there were countless reveries.

What does this mean? Saw it yesterday? Could it be that His Majesty should give a face-to-face lecture? Yes, definitely!

Many people's faces have changed drastically! If Li Mu and the gate valve are opposed, with the energy of the gate valve, they will unite and have the confidence that they can fight Li Mu this time. But if it is Li Shimin's intention, the imperial power is overwhelming, but it is not the gate valve that can break the wrist. After all, the surname of the world is Li, and the million-dollar male master of the Tang Dynasty is also surnamed Li!

Wang and Eldest Sun Wuji also heard it clearly, and their faces became even more ugly. Especially the eldest grandson Wuji, he had a hunch that this time it seemed that he had made a wrong and outrageous decision. Everything in the eldest grandson comes from the Holy Family. Without the Holy Family, the Eldest Sun Clan is nothing. And today's matter, if it is not handled well, it will cause a rift in his relationship with Li Shimin, and once the rift occurs, even if it is made up later, it will always exist.

The eldest grandson Wuji took a deep breath and said to the king: "I'm sorry, I suddenly felt dizzy, I can't attend tonight's banquet." ”

The king was suddenly anxious: "Uncle Guo, I promised just now, how can I ......?"

The eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand, no longer listened to the king's words, and strode out of the hall. The king looked at his back and sighed helplessly, and had little hope for tonight's banquet.

……

Tai Chi Temple.

When he came to the door of the palace, Gonggong Gao stopped and motioned for Li Mu to push the door in. Li Mu glanced at Grandpa Gao, Grandpa Gao avoided his gaze, and Li Mu knew that Li Shimin must be in a bad mood now.

At this time, Li Mu really didn't want to see Li Shimin, grinned, and said: "Father-in-law Gao, can we do this, just say that my stomach hurts, I, I ......."

"Get out of here!"

Gao Gonggong shrugged his shoulders with a helpless expression.

Li Mu sighed, pushed open the door of the hall, and walked in.

There were porcelain pieces scattered on the ground, and Li Mu peeked at it, and the two huge porcelain bottles placed next to the table were already shattered. Li Mu couldn't help but feel a little distressed, if there was a chance to travel back, the porcelain vase in the Zhenguan period would be worth tens of millions, and it would be a pity to be broken like this.

"What's that look on your face!" Li Shimin had nowhere to vent his anger, and he was worried that he couldn't find an exit, when he saw Li Mu's strange face, he immediately rushed at him and said angrily: "Are you laughing at me?" Joke about me, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty want to oppose me, joke I can't control the courtiers, even my brother-in-law is not of the same heart and mind as me? You say, don't you think so?! ”

"Hey," Li Mu saluted and said, "Your Majesty has wronged the dead minister, anyone can think so, but the minister will not"

"Hah, you're saying you're more faithful than they are? What a certificate! ”

Li Muqiang endured it, not allowing himself to look at Li Shimin with the eyes of a fool, and spread his hands and said: "Your Majesty, do you need to say this, the idea is the minister's idea, if the minister is not loyal, how can he want to weaken the idea of the gate valve for His Majesty?" Your Majesty isn't you confused? ”

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that he was a little stupid, and his face was a little embarrassed. For a long time, he sighed, pointed to the chair that was originally prepared for the eldest grandson Wuji to watch the folds, and motioned for Li Mu to sit down.

Li Mu was not polite, he sat down directly, no matter whose seat it was, as long as he could sit, he was so tired and panicked when he stood up.

Li Shimin sighed and said, "I'm angry, can I not be angry?" The eldest grandson is Mowgli! I ...... with him" suddenly paused, Li Shimin gritted his teeth, sighed again, and said, "That's it, what to say?" It's just a cold heart. This man has changed, he has changed! Li Shimin looked at Li Mu and repeated: "He has changed, can you understand what I mean?" ”

Li Mu nodded violently and said, "The minister understands that His Majesty has felt betrayal. However, the minister also advised His Majesty that this is normal. Do you think, Uncle Guo is not alone, and there are 1,800 people up and down the Changsun clan, right? Even if Uncle Guo is wholeheartedly loyal to His Majesty, it is understandable that he, as the head of the family, always has to worry about his family. After all, there are really not many courtiers like ministers, who are selfless and shine only for His Majesty. ”

Li Shimin automatically filtered out Li Mu's boasting, and said to himself: "You have a point, he thinks about the family, I don't blame him." Where I'm really angry is...... Alas, "

Li Shimin organized his language for a moment and continued: "Even if the interests of the Changsun clan are lost this time, he should understand that everything in the Changsun clan comes from me!" He is loyal to me, will I still lose him? What is lost here, will be replenished there. And he was the first to stand up against me, bad things! He's changed! It's really changed! ”

"......" Li Mu didn't know how to answer this, there is the eldest grandson queen here, as long as the eldest grandson Wuji does not rebel, no matter what happens, in Li Shimin's place, the final result must be to forgive him. Therefore, Li Mu can't give him eye medicine, otherwise he must be not a person inside and out, and he will offend the eldest grandson queen. He would never do such a stupid thing.

Li Mu thought about it and decided to divert the topic, otherwise it would be endless.

"Your Majesty, let's get down to business. What does Your Majesty think of the minister's immature little suggestion? ”

"I was about to tell you." Li Shimin is not a faint monarch after all, although he is resentful in his heart, it will not affect the business: "Do you really not know, or pretend to be confused." There are no idle fertile fields, and although those fields are not in the accounts, they are actually cultivated by the big gatekeepers. Otherwise, where did those grain merchants get so much grain? ”

Li Mu smiled: "Your Majesty, how could the minister not know, of course he is pretending to be confused." If the minister does not pretend to be confused, can he lead them into the trap of the minister and put them in a dilemma? ”

"Don't be complacent." Li Shimin said with a straight face: "The dispute of words and tongues can't solve the problem, if they are forced to be anxious, and those fields are really barren, the world will really lack food." Do you have a complete solution? ”

"Your Majesty, don't worry. The minister didn't want to take back the land, he just wanted to let them pay taxes according to the actual amount. ”

"Pay taxes?" Li Shimin laughed and said, "How is this possible? They will never admit it! ”

Li Mu pretended to be puzzled and said, "Why won't you admit it?" ”

"If they admit it, they have violated the laws of the court and given me the truth, are they stupid?"

"Hmm......" Li Mu did not refute or explain, but asked: "Your Majesty, if the ministers have a way to collect all the taxes and increase the cultivated land in the world by one percent, is Your Majesty willing to hand over this matter to the ministers to do it?" ”

Li Shimin frowned and said, "You are boasting, this is impossible." ”

"Your Majesty, if you don't give it a try, how do you know it's impossible? If Your Majesty is not at ease, or so, if you don't come forward, let the ministers toss, toss well, just say that it is Your Majesty's instructions, if the toss is not good, just say that it is the ministers to think about the king's heart, it is a big deal to deal with the crimes of the ministers, and the ministers are willing to be punished. ”

Li Shimin seemed to be a little tempted, thought for a while, and said: "I won't take credit from you, if the matter is done, I will record it on your head." But if it doesn't work, in the eyes of outsiders, you are just playing with me and the hundred officials in applause, even if I don't want to punish you, I will have to punish you, can you think about it? ”

Li Mu was full of confidence and said, "The minister wants to give it a go!" ”

"Good!" Li Shimin was also very happy when he saw that Li Mu was so confident, and said, "How do you need me to cooperate?" ”

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty can call yourself sick for three days, oh, there is another will, just say that the ministers will account for the imperial property, so it's okay." ”

Li Shimin said suspiciously: "It's that simple? ”

Li Mu nodded and said, "It's as simple as that, but there is one thing that needs special attention, since Your Majesty is sick, just pretend to be a little bit, don't see anyone, including Uncle Guo." Why don't you stay in the valley for three days with Your Majesty and the Queen? Just cultivate the body, relax and relax. ”

Li Shimin thought to himself, it's okay to see Li Mu every day, and to keep track of the progress of things. But he didn't readily agree, because he hadn't discussed it with the eldest grandson queen yet, so he said: "This matter is not in a hurry, you go to do things first, I have asked the queen, and then I will send someone to inform you." ”

"No."

Li Mu said goodbye and retired, Li Shimin looked at the porcelain pieces all over the ground, and his mood was even worse. Just as he wanted to call the little eunuch to come in and clean up the ground, Gonggong Gao came in again and whispered, "Your Majesty, Uncle Guo asks to see you." ”

"Call him" Li Shimin just wanted to say, 'Call him in', but suddenly remembered Li Mu's words, and changed his words: "Let him go back, just say that I am sick." Also, inform the hundred officials that I am in poor health and urgently need to recuperate, so I will strike for three days. ”

"Strike? This ......" Gao Gonggong was startled, but when the words came to his mouth, he didn't dare to say it, for fear of losing the reputation of a eunuch who interfered in politics, he pursed his lips and swallowed the words, turned around and retreated.

Li Shimin picked up the pen and wrote a decree with his own hand, asking the little eunuch to send it to Zhongshu Province, and then left the Taiji Hall to go to the Lizheng Hall to discuss the matter of going to the valley with Empress Changsun.

After listening to Gonggong Gao's words, the eldest grandson Wuji's face was a little stiff.

In his memory, this was the first time he was rejected by Li Shimin. It was like a basin of cold water poured on his head, which made him sober up a lot.

It took a long time for the eldest grandson Wuji to come back to his senses. He took out a silver ingot from his sleeve, stuffed it into Gonggong Gao's hand, and asked, "How is Your Majesty's body?" What did the Imperial Doctor say? ”

"These ......" are all clear-eyed people, and Father-in-law Gao doesn't want to act, so he squeezed out a smile and said: "Uncle Guo understands in his heart, and our family doesn't say those prevarications." This uncle has done something wrong, and His Majesty Long Yan is furious. No matter how many words we say, it is inconvenient for us to say, only a good word to remind. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly said, "Please speak." ”

"This matter falls on Zhuluhou, Uncle Guo might as well go to him to discuss?"
