Li Mu thought that Li Yuan had thought of something, and asked the little eunuch to look for him back, but he didn't expect the little eunuch to take him to the East Palace. Li Mu's heart suddenly suddenly, thinking that it was not a wrong sentence, Li Shimin wanted to settle accounts with him. He was not surprised at all that Li Shimin would know what he said, if Li Shimin didn't know, he would feel strange.

With his heart hanging in his heart, Li Mu followed the little eunuch into the main hall, and Li Shimin really had a calm face. Li Mu hurriedly cheered up the spirit, but he remembered that he had contradicted Li Shimin not long ago, if he made him unhappy today, Li Shimin would cut him down.

Li Shimin waved his hand and sent the little eunuch away, and only he and Li Mu were left in the hall, and the atmosphere was very embarrassing. Li Mu saluted, then stood aside with his hands tied, carefully looking at Li Shimin's face, he didn't speak, Li Mu didn't speak, the two of them were so embarrassed, as if they were playing a game of wooden people, whoever moved first would lose.

After a long while, Li Shimin still couldn't hold back and said, "Li Mu, you have done a good job!" ”

Li Mu knew that Li Shimin was talking back, but he did not forget his upright character, his mind moved, and he continued: "Your Majesty, the minister is just doing his duty as a courtier, and he just said a few words bluntly, which is not a good thing, and he should not be praised by His Majesty." ”

Li Shimin was almost angry, and said, "Do you think I seem to be praising you?" ”

As if he had just reacted, Li Mu said, "Your Majesty...... No, aren't you looking at Kuachen? After speaking, he suddenly realized, quickly knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Your Majesty, the minister criticizes the affairs of the heavenly family, and the crime deserves death." It was really because the emperor forced the minister to say, and the minister had to say, if that sentence was wrong, please ask Your Majesty to punish him. ”

"Not for that!" Li Shimin's opening remarks, which he had already thought of, were beaten by Li Muzuo one fork after another, and he couldn't be anxious or annoyed, so he had no choice but to say clearly: "Are you a narrow-minded person?" A few words from you will be condemned to you? I'm saying, what did you say to the Emperor! Come and see, this is a note sent by the Emperor, how can I be good?! ”

"Slivers?" Li Mu walked closer, picked up the note on the table and looked at it, only to see a few lines written on it. After watching it, Li Mu was also a little stunned. He never thought that Li Yuan's unobtrusive idea of childhood turned out to be to become a wealthy businessman. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty is going to be a businessman, isn't this about to change the sky? No wonder Li Shimin will be angry, Shinong industry and commerce, businessmen are the last, only higher than slaves and maids, the emperor goes to be a businessman, if this is passed out, the royal family will be humiliated, what should others say about Li Shimin, kill his brother and kill his brother, force his father to take the throne, and then he will not be supported, let the old man do business...... Is this still human?!

It is said that such a ridiculous thing, Li Shimin refused. But the conditions given by Li Yuan were too tempting, so that Li Shimin really couldn't make up his mind to refuse. Li Yuan wrote on the note that if Li Shimin agreed to this matter, he would not be guilty of the past, and he would never mention the previous things, he would definitely appear on the occasion when he should appear, and he also promised to move out of the Taiji Hall and let Li Shimin live in the past. But if Li Shimin doesn't agree, then everything will be suspended, he will not agree to anything, and he will live in the Taiji Hall until he dies, let Li Shimin continue to be the emperor of the East Palace, and make the world laugh.

Speaking of which, there is still the meaning of anger. But for Li Shimin, it is really an excellent opportunity. If it were a change of conditions, Li Shimin would agree no matter how he tried to do it, but only this matter, Li Shimin really couldn't agree, and he couldn't afford to lose anyone. The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, so he called Li Mu back, one was to reprimand him for a smooth ride, and then he had to tie the bell to the bell, and he also wanted to see if Li Mu could have the best of both worlds.

Li Mu is also scratching his head, after coming to Chang'an, Li Mu has a much deeper understanding of some basic things in the Tang Dynasty than before. In addition to what Li Ji talked to him, when Li Bi saw him, he would also mention a few words from time to time, which benefited him a lot. When discussing the matter of the winery, Li Bi once emphasized one thing, that is, the business of the winery must not be said to be a cooperative business between him and Li Siwen. If you want to find a spokesperson and say that it is their business, even if it is a big move to take off your pants and fart, you must do it, because only in this way can you maintain a good official reputation and avoid being impeached by the imperial history. Otherwise, if you put on a hat that competes with the people, you won't want to be promoted in this life.

Li Mu naturally used his father-in-law Bai Hao'er as the spokesperson, while the Guogong Mansion found a shopkeeper surnamed Huang to act as Li Siwen's spokesperson. This Huang shopkeeper is the same as the manager Zhang of the Zhao Guogong Mansion that Li Mu saw in Dingxiang that day, they are all people who take care of the business for the dignitaries and nobles, in fact, everyone knows what's going on, but everyone does it and doesn't break each other.

Li Mu thought for a long time, and then said tentatively: "I don't know what Your Majesty ...... about this matter."

"Of course not! Emperor Taishang went to be a businessman, there is no such thing in the history books, do you want me to make the world laugh and spurn the future generations? ”

"Then refuse ......"

Li Shimin didn't speak, just glared at Li Mu. Li Mu felt the malice in his eyes, quickly took back his words, cleared his throat, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks so. The Emperor Taishang does not necessarily really want to be a businessman, the minister boldly guesses, you see if it will be like this, the Emperor Taishang has been noble in his life, and he has been the emperor in the end, he can be described as a hero, a heroic life, and has experienced everything. But he has never done business, and he wants to be a businessman just to experience life. At the same time, he also gave himself a step down and found an excuse to ease the relationship with His Majesty. The minister thought that His Majesty might as well respond, otherwise the Emperor Taishang had been thinking about it in his heart, and he always wanted to try, and maybe something would go wrong. There is a way that it is better to block than to sparse, and after trying it, this freshness will pass. ”

"The truth is true, but I have already said that it is absolutely not feasible for the Emperor Taishang to be a businessman."

"You can hide your identity!" Li Mu thought of the necessary episode in the Qing court drama in the later generations - Weifu private interview, his childhood was when "Huanzhu Gege" and "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview" were popular, and he was very familiar with the set of microservice private interviews: "The minister thinks that the emperor values experience, not deliberately wants to humiliate His Majesty." To the outside world, it is only said that it is a merchant in Longxi, and it is not difficult to open a shop in Chang'an City to satisfy the curiosity of the emperor. If Your Majesty agrees, the minister can take it over, and Your Majesty does not need to worry about it. ”

Li Shimin was quite moved, and said, "Can you guarantee that the Emperor Taishang will agree to hide his identity?" ”

Li Mu didn't dare to say so much, and said: "Although the minister doesn't dare to guarantee, the minister can try his best to persuade him." If the minister can persuade the emperor to agree, won't His Majesty's worries be solved? ”

Li Shimin thought for a while, but finally didn't resist the temptation, and said: "In this case, you will stay, and when dinner time comes, accompany me to greet the Emperor Taishang." Li Mu, this matter is done, I will be rewarded, if I can't do it, I will punish you! Come on, take the deer marquis to the side hall to rest! ”

"The minister hasn't eaten lunch yet......"

Li Shimin said angrily: "Bring him a few more pastries!" Don't starve to death my good love! ”
