After Muchuan resigned from office, he held a grand wedding with Wu Yuanhua.
After the wedding, the two lived a very chic life.
Because of Muchuan's meritorious service in office, he was granted the title of Founding County Duke by Li Shimin. Although he was only a fifth-class Duke, he still had 1,500 households in the city!
For him, this is a wealth that he will never be able to use up in a lifetime.
Two months after Muchuan's wedding, he was still a constant stream of customers.
Just because he was the former commander-in-chief of the Imperial Guard, there were naturally many people who admired him. And since Chang'an was the center of the Tang Dynasty, there were naturally as many as 10 people from all over the place.
Therefore, Muchuan's house has never been short of guests and visitors.
Muchuan had just seen off a visiting tourist today. He had just closed the door when he heard the door knocking again.
Muchuan opened the door, with a look of astonishment on his face!
All of a sudden, he froze on the spot.
His eyes were full of surprise.
"Your Highness the Prince!"
He was very shocked and took two or three steps back!
Immediately he held up his hands and said: "It turns out to be His Highness the Prince. His Highness the Prince actually came in person. I am really disappointed to welcome you from afar!"
After saying that, he quickly got out of the way.
And the person who came to visit turned out to be the current Commander-in-Chief of Jinyiwei.
Li Zhi is also the ninth son of the emperor.
Logically speaking, Li Shimin should have let Muchuan remain as the Jinyi Guard.
In the end, Li Shimin chose to let Muchuan make his own choice.
Muchuan naturally chose to be a happy duke.
But what I never expected was that Li Zhi came to the door in person!
Li Zhi said with respect on his face: "Mr. Mu, don't be polite. What I came here today is cheap, don't reveal it!"
Hear this.
Muchuan hurriedly nodded and invited him in.
After inviting him into the hall, he carefully ordered his servants to serve him tea.
Then he said: "I wonder what the business of His Highness the Prince comes here in person?"
I just finished saying this.
Li Zhi sighed and said, "I came here in person today because I have something important to ask of you!"
He just finished speaking.
Muchuan said very politely: "You must not say that. As long as His Highness the Prince has something to tell me, I will definitely be able to handle it!"
This has just been said here.
Li Zhi said quickly: "Actually, I came here this time to ask Duke Mu to help me!"
Speaking of this moment, he felt a little humble. At this moment, he really looked like Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty.
Liu Bei, the fierce emperor of the Han Dynasty, was extremely humble in order to invite Wolong to come out of the mountain.
For the sake of seeking talents, one does not hesitate to lower one's status. This is the behavior that only good disciples in history would do.
If Muchuan hadn't expected that the ninth son of the emperor would actually lower himself to the throne and come to ask for his release.
Although he was a Duke, he was incomparable to the prince in front of him. He was very surprised and said: "Why would His Highness..."
Li Zhi sighed and said: "Although I am now the Jin Yiwei and the commander-in-chief, I am ultimately powerless... Now in the court... the fight is very fierce. Although the Tang Dynasty is still 10% powerful, no one can do it.
Shocking, but all this is the result of the struggle of many ministers above the court, but... it is precisely because of this that Jin Yiwei has to take action!"
"I heard that many ministers have committed corruption and bribery, and many ministers have violated laws and disciplines without any evidence... As the commander of the Imperial Guard, I deeply feel my incompetence!"
Of course Li Zhi is not incompetent, he just hasn't grown up, and more importantly, he is completely unfamiliar with the operation of Jin Yiwei, and he doesn't know how Xiao Jin should investigate the ministers!
More importantly, he did not have more talents to help him.
Although he was the successor of Tian Khan and the wisest Tang Gaozong in the future, he is not as wise as he imagined.
Just because he is still in a growth stage.
After Muchuan heard what he said, he immediately said: "It seems that His Royal Highness has great ambitions but cannot do anything!"
Li Zhi smiled bitterly and said: "It is precisely because of this that Gucai personally came to ask for your help!"
He just finished speaking.
Muchuan shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "However, I am tired of the fighting in the court. If I really come out, it will only attract more political enemies, and I have already established many enemies in the court.
What established the Jin Yiwei is that if I go back to the Jin Yiwei now, wouldn't it attract more political enemies? This Jin Yiwei is already hated by the ministers. If I go to the Jin Yiwei, wouldn't I be doing something for His Majesty?
Adding more obstacles? Aren’t they causing more obstacles to His Highness’s work?”
I just finished saying this.
Li Zhi quickly said: "Mr. Mu, you must not think like this. If you are willing to come out, then the imperial guards will definitely become more powerful and those ministers who are not willing to obey the law will definitely fall. But now
I'm afraid I can't do it with my own strength..."
Muchuan was impressed by his very respectful attitude!
Muchuan's heart was filled with a sense of surprise, and then he laughed and said: "What you said really flattered me, but... His Royal Highness, the Royal Guard, I really don't dare to go back and take up the post again, so why not...
…”
Li Zhi immediately interrupted: "If Mr. Mu is really unwilling to return to Jinyiwei to take up his post, then I hope that Mr. Mu can join my prince's residence!"
As a first-grade official, Li Zhi naturally has the ability to open a government!
It's just that he has no ministers, just because it has no effect even if he is turned on now. Who will come to ask such a down-and-out prince now?
The former prince Li Chengqian had many ministers, and the other princes also had assistants. And Li Zhi was not very popular, so how could so many people come to seek refuge with him?
Li Zhi also felt quite guilty when he said this, with a hint of speculation on his face and a nervous look in his eyes.
After Muchuan heard his words, he laughed: "How does His Highness know what I am thinking in my heart? Even so, I just hope that Your Highness will never dislike me!"
When Muchuan's words came out of his mouth, Li Zhi was immediately overjoyed, and his eyes were full of ecstasy.
Li Zhi said overjoyed: "It turns out that Mr. Mu is serious..."
After saying this, he immediately stood up and quickly bowed his hands in a very respectful salute.
Muchuan immediately helped him up.
Naturally, this face-saving project must be completed.
As long as Li Zhi comes to power from now on, he can be regarded as the emperor's master!
