Chapter 1075 Attending the Banquet at Muchuan Taiji Palace
"Mu Aiqing, you don't have to be polite. They are the heroes of the Tang Dynasty, so I will naturally give them generous gifts!" Li Shimin said with a smile.
"I thank you Lord for your kindness!"
Li Shimin chatted with Muchuan for a while, and then said: "Okay! I will go back to the palace to recuperate. I will hold a banquet at Tai Chi Palace tonight to welcome you and wash away the dust. During the day, please do as you please!"
After saying that, Li Shimin turned around and left.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"
As soon as Li Shimin left, the officials immediately fell to their knees on the ground.
After all, Li Shimin is the emperor and their immediate boss.
And they also saw Muchuan's attitude towards Li Shimin.
They all knew that Muchuan and Li Shimin had a close relationship, so they naturally respected Muchuan very much.
Looking at Li Shimin's leaving figure, Muchuan sighed in his heart.
When I return to Chang'an this time, I'm afraid I will face a lot of trouble.
After all, he has accepted a new task from the system!
And he considers himself responsible for the development and prosperity of China.
Today's China is in chaos.
But Muchuan didn't want to meddle in these nosy matters.
After all, this is the path chosen by the system itself, and you can only follow the will of the system.
However, while accepting the new tasks of the system, he must also do everything possible to seek benefits for this generation of Chinese people.
Thinking of this, Muchuan headed towards his mansion.
This time, in addition to the task of building a university, it is also to help Datang build a large factory area!
He wants to use a lot of resources to build large-scale machine factories, large-scale workshops, steel mills, and iron smelting plants.
He wants to build a huge industrial base!
Muchuan declined all guests and returned directly to his Mu Mansion.
He lay directly on the bed to rest.
In order to enter Chang'an City in the morning, he was rushing all day today without much rest.
It's almost noon now.
Still somewhat hungry.
There was a fragrance coming from Muchuan's room, and when he smelled it, he felt a little anxious in his heart.
"Well, it's the little lotus that shows its sharp horns. A dragonfly has already stood on it!"
Muchuan was originally the number one poet in the Tang Dynasty, and a good poem came out of his mouth at this time.
"Sir, may I come in?"
Suddenly a soft female voice came from the door.
Muchuan heard the sound, turned over and sat up, planning to get out of bed and open the door.
As soon as he got out of bed, he saw a maid walking in with food in her hands.
Muchuan was startled when he saw this maid. He didn't expect that this maid was actually Xiao He, Princess Li Qingya's personal maid of Changle!
Since Li Qingya was demoted to the East Palace, this maid followed Li Qingya to the East Palace to serve her.
Muchuan and Li Qingya have a close relationship, so their relationship is also very close.
Under Li Qingya's instigation, this Xiao He has always been called Mr. Muchuan Mu.
Seeing that it was her who came to serve him in person, Muchuan no longer refused.
Xiaohe's cooking skills are very good, and he was taught by Muchuan himself.
So Muchuan enjoyed these meals without any courtesy.
"Well, this chicken drumstick tastes good, Xiaohe, your craftsmanship is so good!" Muchuan said with admiration.
Xiaohe was very happy when she heard Muchuan's praise.
"Thank you, sir!" Xiao He smiled sweetly.
"By the way, Xiaohe, where is Qingya?"
Why didn't she come to me?
"When Muchuan saw this Xiaohe, he suddenly thought of Li Qingya.
"The princess left the East Palace early today. She said she had important things to do! Let me tell Mr. Mu so you don't have to worry!" Xiao He said.
"Oh, so that's it!"
Muchuan nodded.
After eating and drinking enough, Muchuan cleaned up the food and then lay on the bed with his eyes closed to rest, waiting for the evening banquet.
Night falls.
Muchuan changed his clothes and came to Tai Chi Palace.
At this time, the entire Tai Chi Palace was brightly lit.
Muchuan came to the Imperial Garden under the guidance of his chamberlain.
In the back garden of Tai Chi Palace, there is a huge round table, surrounded by various precious delicacies.
Li Shimin sat at the top, and his eldest grandson Queen sat next to him.
Sitting next were the civil and military ministers, and finally Muchuan's officers and soldiers.
Such seats are arranged according to grade.
Muchuan is the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, so he naturally sits in the top position.
Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng sit on the left side of the table.
On the right are sitting Xu Jingzong, the Minister of Rites, Pei Ju, the Minister of Punishments, Li Jing, the Minister of Works, and Han Qi, the Minister of War.
As for other officials, they sit in other seats.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mu Aiqing!" Li Shimin looked at Muchuan and said calmly.
"I don't dare to take credit for being a humble minister. I serve my country and that's what I should do!" Muchuan said.
Li Shimin nodded slightly, he was very satisfied with Muchuan's words.
Li Shimin understood the importance of governing a country and winning people's hearts.
During this Eastern Expedition, Muchuan made great contributions and made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty.
Although his power is overwhelming now, he still remembers Muchuan as a hero of the Tang Dynasty.
So he also expressed his goodwill towards Muchuan.
Li Jing and Han Qi frowned.
Li Shimin What does this mean?
Are you planning to promote Muchuan?
It is said that this young man will be promoted to a higher position than Wei Zheng.
What if he is promoted to be the crown prince's Taibao?
No! Li Shimin must not be allowed to promote him.
Han Qi and Li Jing looked at each other and saw jealousy in each other's eyes.
They had decided in their hearts that Muchuan could not continue to act arbitrarily in the imperial court.
Han Bin, the father of Han Qi, the Minister of War, was the head of the three princes and held a high position of power, and Han Qi himself also had some military exploits.
He did not allow his father's majesty to be violated.
Li Jing is almost the same!
Han Qi and Li Jing both looked hostile to Muchuan.
But these things are hidden in the dark and no one notices them.
Muchuan also noticed the two of them.
But he pretended not to see it.
At this time, the treacherous minister Xu Jingzong stood up, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, although Muchuan is loyal and serves the country, he violates the laws and kills ministers without permission, and he is also the future prince-in-law.
If he continues to stay in the court, it will bring a bad atmosphere to the scholars in the world. Your Majesty, please abolish Muchuan's official position!"
As soon as Xu Jingzong said these words, everyone immediately looked at him in shock.
No one expected that the Minister of Rites would be the first to speak.
Muchuan also looked at Xu Jingzong in surprise.
I don't understand why he suddenly jumped out against me.
And it was still at his own celebration banquet.
Isn't this a slap in the face?
Muchuan's face turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "Master Xu, what do you mean?
