Chapter 65: Discussion of Merit and Conferral (1)

Li Mu thought that Li Shimin would pass on him, but he didn't expect to pass him on so quickly, it seems that this emperor is also a human being, and he is not reserved when facing the things he cares about. On the way from the courtyard to the main gate, Li Bi hurriedly told him some palace rules, and Li Mu didn't remember them much. But it doesn't matter, this time when you enter the palace, as long as you hand over the jade seal of the country to Li Shimin, it will definitely be Longyan Dayue, and no one will care if the rules are unruly.

When he arrived at the gate, Li Mu was also frightened by this battle. The door was full of people, all of them were forbidden soldiers in armor, no wonder Li Bi's tone was a little panicked just now, everyone who looked at this posture was going to raid the house. It can be seen from this that Li Ji did not tell Li Bi about the jade seal of the country, and even his brother had reservations, and Li Mu had a new understanding of Li Ji's caution.

In the Taiji Palace, the Emperor Li Yuan sat in the middle, Li Shimin accompanied him, Li Ji stood on the left hand at the bottom of the steps, and the eldest grandson Wuji stood on the right hand, and there was another person behind him, which was Shangshu's left servant Fang Xuanling. More than a month ago, Li Shimin learned that he had found the news of the heirloom jade seal in Dingxiang, and began to have insomnia, and asked Li Ji where he was every day. When Li Ji entered the palace to face the saint, Li Shimin was talking about the flooding of the Yellow River with his eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling, he thought that Li Ji would bring the jade seal of the country, but he didn't expect Li Ji to have no hands at all. Only then did he order Li Mu to enter the palace to meet him, originally planned to meet him in the East Palace, or the eldest grandson Wuji reminded him that there was also a Taishang Emperor in the Taiji Palace, and the Taishang Emperor had also preached to the world, Li Shimin remembered this stubble and changed the place of meeting to the Taiji Palace.

Li Shimin has now become the emperor, and the inheritance of the jade seal of the country has no effect on his rule. However, because he has been criticized for the improper way of the throne, he urgently needs to pass on the unique meaning of the jade seal to correct his name. But the root of it lies in Li Yuan's attitude. And now that Li Yuan is already the emperor, it is useless to pass on the jade seal of the country, if you can use this to please him, why not do it.

"Return to the Emperor and Your Majesty, Li Mu is waiting for the decree outside the palace."

Li Shimin looked at his father cautiously and said, "Xuan." ”

"Xuan Li Mu went to the palace to meet you!"

Li Mu heard the sound outside the palace gate, and was about to go inside when he raised his legs, but Gonggong Gao stretched out his hand to stop it, and whispered: "Go in and worship the emperor first, do you know?" ”

"Ahh Thank you, father-in-law. Li Mu replied and followed the little eunuch into the hall. Li Bi had already told him about the rules of the audience, but Li Mu was a little nervous, so he almost forgot about it, and all he could think of in his head was the set in the TV series, and he couldn't care so much about it in a hurry, so he knelt down on the ground and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" ”

After shouting, no one answered, he didn't dare to raise his head, he looked at the afterglow of his eyes, one person on the left, two people on the right, I can't see it in front, isn't Li Shimin there?

The monarchs and ministers in the palace did not respond, but they were a little stunned. The term "Banzai", although it has been used since ancient times, is usually used to describe gods, and is not commonly used by people. And the title of 'long live' is unprecedented, and no one has ever shouted it before Li Mu shouted this. The ancients feared the gods, and Banzai already compared people to gods, and Banzai didn't transcend the gods? The atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was not as good as that of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the emperor was not so cheeky, hearing Li Mu call him so, whether it was Li Yuan or Li Shimin, what he felt was not pleasure, but a little embarrassed, so no one responded for a long time.

Li Shimin was embarrassed to admit that he was long live, coughed lightly, and said, "You are Li Mu?" ”

"Ah, grass man Li Mu!"

"Get up and answer."

Li Mu got up according to his words, Li Shimin looked at him for a while, and thought that the person who could say such a blatant sycophant would be a treacherous person, but seeing that Li Mu had beautiful eyebrows and clear eyes, and he did not match the treacherous and slippery, he was curious in his heart and asked: "Why do you call me and the Emperor Long live?" Don't you know that this is a metaphor for the words of the gods? ”

Li Mu's heart sank, daring to love that this was filmed on the horse's hooves, and the TV series misunderstood me! hurriedly went back to make up for it, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the heartfelt words of the grass people. The grass was born in the border city of Mayi, and just after he was born, his father died in battle, and I am not alone in this kind of encounter. The Turks plundered every year, and the people of the border cities were miserable, looking forward to the arrival of heavenly soldiers day and night. This time, His Majesty pacified the Turks, so that the people of the border city no longer suffered from the plundering of the soldiers, and in the hearts of the people of the border city, His Majesty is no different from a god. ”

After finishing speaking, Li Mu's heart also churned, the last time he was so disobedient was when he treated Party B's customers in his previous life. However, thinking that the first shot in the Tang Dynasty was given to Li Shimin, it was worthy of this set of work, and when I thought about it like this, I was relieved.

Such a correct answer hit Li Shimin's mind, as an emperor who is rich all over the world, power and profit, in fact, are not the things he cares about the most, only this people's heart and reputation can really move him. Li Mu gave a reasonable explanation, this 'long live' title, Li Shimin borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, acquiesced, and then looked at Li Mu's eyes, and was also a lot more friendly.

"I heard that you killed Princess Yicheng and got the jade seal of the country, where is the jade seal of the country now?"

"Here." Li Mu hurriedly untied his robe, at this time, no one would say that he lost his honor in front of the palace, Li Mu took out the brocade box, Gao Gonggong took it and handed it to Li Shimin, Li Shimin did not open it, and put it directly in front of Li Yuan: "Father, you take a look first." ”

Li Yuan opened the brocade box, took out the heirloom jade seal, looked at it carefully, and nodded slightly. Li Yuan was originally a noble relative of the Sui Dynasty, and Yang Guang, the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, was a cousin, and Li Yuan, the heirloom jade seal, had seen it with his own eyes, and it could be seen at a glance whether it was true or false.

Li Shimin saw that Li Yuan was identified as true, so he no longer had any doubts about the authenticity of the jade seal of the country, looked at Li Mu, and said with a smile: "I received an excerpt from the Duke of Wei Guo earlier, mentioning a righteous man who escaped from the camp to deliver a letter, is this person you?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it was the grass people who did it." Li Mu said: "Your Majesty, although this matter was done by the grass people, but the name of the righteous man is ashamed. At that time, Cao Minshi was worried about his mother at home, and he had already saved the idea of escaping the camp, not just to send a letter. Therefore, the grass people dare not receive this credit. ”

Along the way, Li Mu had already thought that he couldn't ask for any credit, which would be disgusting. In case Li Shimin only rewarded a small merit, but did not reward the great merit of passing on the jade seal of the country, wouldn't it be a big loss. Therefore, Li Mu's routine is to resign from the small merit first, don't reward it, anyway, I found the jade seal of the country, and this credit can't be erased. And Li Shimin is not a fool, whether the small work in front of him is considered merit, can he count it in his heart, make a real appearance, win favor, and deserve no less, maybe more, on the contrary, even if it is rewarded to you this time, it will be a loss if I don't want to see you in the future.
