Chapter 78: Playing the family card
Li Mu said: "Father, maybe you have overlooked a small problem, we are all standing on our own position now, thinking about how to invite the Venerable Master Taizhen into the palace, but what does she think? Was she willing? ”
"If she agrees on the surface, but her heart is not happy, even if she enters the palace, she will be twisted and twisted, and the child thinks that we have to work hard, move with affection, understand with reason, and feel for the family and country, and go into battle together, so that the Venerable Master Taizhen cannot refuse the deep affection of his father and the emperor, and is willing, isn't it beautiful?"
Li Longji said in surprise: "Yes, that's it, even the common people say that the twisted melon is not sweet, in the past, he entered the palace and was depressed, and the king of Youxi exhausted the world's treasures and beautiful weapons, and he couldn't even get a smile from him, I couldn't despise her, twenty-one, you say, how to make Tai Zhen willing?" ”
Li Mu had been in his heart for a long time, with a small abacus, but he didn't expect his father to be so good and make sense at one point.
Li Mu said: "Father and Emperor issued a decree to invite the Master Taizhen, this is the first layer, since the child wants to go on a trip, you can also ask for song and dance rhythm, the Master Taizhen loves these and will not refuse, in addition, if there are also the parents and brothers of the Master Taizhen, relatives match blessings, three-pronged efforts, this matter can be completed, please Father and Emperor decide." ”
Li Longji thought about it a little and felt that Li Mu's method was really thoughtful.
Originally, a girl's marriage was inseparable from the praise and blessing of her parents and brothers, with one more layer of means and one more guarantee, the Venerable Master Taizhen would definitely not have any more excuses to happily enter the palace and achieve a beautiful thing, hehe, that's interesting.
Li Longji said: "Twenty-one words are in harmony with my intentions, but the Venerable Taizhen, her parents have been dead for many years, and she has been growing up with her uncle, and her uncle's family is in Luoyang, and it is difficult to quench her thirst in the distant water, how is it good?" ”
Li Mu said: "Father is really careful, this trip to Luoyang, thousands of mountains and rivers, I really can't afford to delay, but I heard that the Venerable Master Taizhen has an elder brother, named Yang Zhao, who is a county lieutenant in Fufeng, Fufeng is not far from the capital, and a clan brother comes forward, and the Venerable Master Taizhen will definitely be surprised." ”
Playing the family card is the main starting point of Li Mu's thinking.
In addition, Yang Zhao, this guy, was a gambler when he was young, liked to drink bad wine, had a poor character, and was despised by the family.
Yang Zhao is very good at casino calculations and is a partial talent, so after Tuntian, he was good at business calculations, and was appreciated by his superiors, and now he has become a county lieutenant of Fufeng.
Yang Zhao is going to make a fortune sooner or later, and at this time, Li Mu scooped him up in advance, this is a great grace.
In addition, Yang Zhao and Li Linfu are sworn enemies, and they look down on An Lushan the most, and the two have been fighting each other for many years, mainly because Yang Zhao has no direction and suffers from the enemy on his back, which finally angered An Lushan.
Now that I, Li Mu, am here, I will guide Yang Zhao in time, An Lushan is not dead and crippled, what is the Anshi Rebellion, it does not exist.
Li Mu made an ingenious layout in advance for the national fortune in a few years.
Li Longji liked it in his heart, and instructed Gao Lishi to immediately verify and report Yang Zhao's life experience, fame, and position one by one.
Colliers agreed and hurriedly went to inquire.
After a while, Gao Lishi came back and reported respectfully: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince is right. The Venerable Master Taizhen really had a clan brother named Yang Zhao. Moreover, he grew up with the Venerable Master Taizhen, got along well, and took care of and favored the Venerable Master Taizhen. ”
"Oh, well, tell me about this man's condition." Li Longji's interest has soared.
Gao Lishi said: "When this person was young, he also had a gentleman's style, liked to eat and gamble, but when he was in his twenties, he suddenly woke up and went to Xichuan to join the army thousands of miles away, and made great achievements. ”
"Okay, this is the prodigal son's return to the gold, go on." Li Longji said approvingly.
Gao Lishi continued to report: "Because of his noble background, excellent grades in Tuntian, and good at economics, he was promoted to the lieutenant of Xindu County, and not long ago, he was transferred to the lieutenant of Fufeng County. ”
Li Longji said with a smile: "It seems that this is the will of heaven, there is such a well-behaved and gorgeous Taizhen, there is naturally a clan brother who is constantly striving and serving the country, you say, is this the will of heaven?" ”
Gao Lishi and Li Mu hurriedly agreed.
Li Longji said: "Gao Lishi, immediately spread my will and recruit Yang Zhao into Beijing, I want to meet him in person, the sooner the better." ”
Colliers agreed, and immediately did not mention it.
Li Longji turned to Li Mu and said, "Twenty-one, you handle things carefully, not in a hurry or impatient, after I met Yang Zhao, I handed him over to you, how to use it, how to let him explain the benefits and disadvantages to the Taizhen Venerable, you are responsible, don't let me down." ”
Li Mu said: "Father, please rest assured, with this relationship, the child guarantees that the Master Taizhen will enter the palace happily, at that time, the father and emperor are happy, and the whole world celebrates with the heavens." ”
Li Longji kept nodding, and then asked Li Mu to retreat.
Li Mu said: "Father, the big thing has been decided, and the child has a small matter, please ask the father to will." ”
Li Longji was in a good mood, so naturally he did not refuse Li Mu's request.
"You say, whatever you want, I promise you."
Li Mu said: "The child doesn't want anything, these days, in addition to rehearsing songs and dances for his father, he is developing a lightning rod, and he already has a finished product." ”
Li Mu said, quickly went to the outside of the temple gate, and brought in a lightning rod. He held it to Li Longji with both hands.
Li Longji looked at it carefully several times, but he couldn't say anything good, so he asked: "Twenty-one, just this thing, can it really avoid lightning?" ”
Li Mu said: "The child doesn't dare to lie, this thing seems to be small, but it is not easy to develop him, the effect is absolutely no problem, after the child asks his father, he can first place it inside and outside the palace, on the top of the tall building." ”
Li Longji nodded and said, "Since what you said is conclusive, I will believe it, but the effect is not good, can you be careful that I punish you?" ”
Li Mu said: "Of course, the effect is not good, the child is willing to be punished, but, father, the child means that this kind of invention and creation is very beneficial to the natural science and technology of my Datang for the benefit of the people, encourage scientific and technological innovation, set up a patent office, let everyone be more enthusiastic about inventions, and vigorously promote the creation of inventions, the future of Datang is unlimited." ”
Li Longji understood and asked, "Twenty-one, what do you mean, what kind of patent office do you get?" Rewarding those who invent and create, you won't just change the way and ask me for silver, right? ”
Li Mu said with a smile: "Father is too worried, the child doesn't want a penny, the child wants to encourage those who are willing to use their brains, like to ponder, and work hard, those strange people, craftsmen, masters, let them work more and more energetic." ”
"Oh," Li Longji pondered for a while, and said: "This idea is good, those who have the ability to move up, engage in more inventions and creations, and improve my Datang's production and economic capabilities, and I really have insight." ”
Li Mu said: "What my father said is very true, this is what the child meant. ”
Li Longji said: "This matter, then at the court meeting, I will bring it up, let the six corresponding departments study and formulate rules, twenty-one, you can rest assured, you boldly develop things that are useful to the country, I will not let you suffer." ”
"Father Xie, the child has nothing else to do, so he will retire first."
Li Mu said goodbye. Seeing that Li Linfu did not leave, the carriages and horses and servants were waiting a hundred steps away.
Li Linfu stood alone by the car, looking up at the sky, and his mood was very bright.
Li Mu walked a few steps quickly, and when he arrived in front of Li Linfu, Li Mu said, "Li Xiang, haven't left yet?" Who is this waiting for? Li Xiang is in a good mood, right? ”
As soon as Li Linfu saw Li Mu, he was full of smiles, hurriedly saluted, and said: "Who else can the old minister wait for, out of the main hall, who is still worthy of the old minister to wait, only His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Li Mu pretended to be shocked and said, "Li Xiang is waiting for me? This is so embarrassing, Li Mu can't afford Li Xiang's praise, Li Xiang, do you want to talk about the second son. ”
Li Xiang kept nodding and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, apart from His Majesty and the Crown Prince, only His Royal Highness the Prince has convinced the old minister, not only has Jaw Er woken up, but he can eat porridge and soup today, do you think I can be unhappy!" ”
Li Mu said with a smile: "This is Li Xiangji's star, God bless, the second son's good day, Li Mu will definitely come to congratulate." ”
Li Linfu said: "If you don't come, you can't do it, if you don't come then, the old man will personally invite you, His Royal Highness the Prince, your kindness to my Li family, the old man is unforgettable, and the Prime Minister's Mansion welcomes you at any time." ”
Li Mu said with a smile: "Li Xiang loves the country and the people, works hard, good people have good rewards, plus Hua Yidao's medical skills are superb, Li Mu's little deeds are not worth mentioning." ”
Li Mu flattered Li Linfu on his lips, and said in his heart, Li Linfu, you are an old thing, domineering, you just got another dead opponent for you, and in the future, this prince will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and watch you make a life.
