As the humerus of the country and the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Changsun Wuji's tolerance is not so small. But for the same reason, he must be 'furious'. Because his majesty cannot be violated, if a little marquis can not let him go
In your eyes, who will put him first in this court in the future?
In Changsun Wuji’s impression, this was the second time that Li Mu refused to give him face. The first time, he asked Manager Zhang to buy Li Mu’s secret wine-making method. Manager Zhang’s reply was that Li Mu went to Cao Guogong’s mansion and told Zhao Guogong
The government "sneered" and had an arrogant attitude. But Changsun Wuji had no intention of revenge because at that time Li Mu was just a small county magistrate, and the status gap was too big. If there were rumors that the uncle of the country was intimidating the county magistrate.
When things happened, he couldn't afford to lose face. Furthermore, he wanted to buy the secret method just to please the Supreme Emperor and increase the income of the Duke's government. Even if this matter failed to be accomplished, it would not have a great impact on him.
big.
But this time, Li Mu has been granted the title of Marquis of Zhulu. In recent days, whether it is wine making, horseshoeing, or even Tang Jian marrying his mother, Li Mu is being talked about both in the court and in the public, and Li Mu is in the limelight.
At this juncture, Li Mufa appointed chiefs and craftsmen who came to his house to help, but he took people to build a high-rise building for some wealthy man, making it clear that he would not give his grandson Wuji face. This matter should not be taken lightly like last time.
He put it down lightly. He had to teach Li Mu a lesson and let this yellow-mouthed kid know that temporary glory is nothing. There are some people in this court that he, a little marquis, cannot afford to offend!
Changsun Wuji rushed outside the East Palace and was about to go in. Suddenly, Eunuch Gao came out from the palace door and blocked him. Changsun Wuji was stunned. Based on his relationship with Li Shimin, he could come to the East Palace whenever he wanted. Why?
Reports were required at times, and he had forgotten the last time he was blocked at the door.
Eunuch Gao understood Changsun Wuji's doubts. He had just received Li Shimin's instructions and waited at the door.
"Uncle, Your Majesty is meeting with Li Daliang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry. Please wait."
"Li Daliang?"
Changsun Wuji frowned and thought to himself, what is Li Daliang doing here? Is he trying to make an argument for Li Mu? No, it's impossible. Li Daliang's temperament doesn't seem like he would stand up for others, especially since Li Mu had just taken office.
We haven't even gotten to know each other for a few days. How could Li Daliang risk offending me to stand up for him?
So it was His Majesty who summoned him?
this……
Changsun Wuji was confused, and he remembered something. Not long after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he promoted him to be the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Someone reported to Changsun Wuji that he had formed a clique for personal gain. Li Shimin took out the memorial and handed it to him in front of Changsun Wuji.
Look, and then ordered the person who made the false accusation to be cut in half. If Li Shimin was on his side, he would definitely not shy away from him. But at this time, he was blocked from the palace door. What does it mean? It means that in this matter,
Li Shimin is not on his side.
How could this happen? Changsun Wuji couldn't figure it out.
He didn't know the details, and Li Shimin had troubles that he couldn't tell. Li Mu was the doctor of the Ministry of Industry appointed by him. This time Li Mu became the contractor, not because of his own will, but because of his father Li Yuan's force. As for his assignment,
Two principals and seventy-three craftsmen, how can you say that they did something wrong? As the chief officer, the officials under me couldn't be summoned even after summoning them twice. What's the problem with assigning them?
If these two principals were really exempted from punishment because they built the yard for Changsun Wuji, then it would not be Li Mu’s face that would be slapped, but the face of the court and Li Shimin himself. How would others view this matter? Changsun Wuji
Did Wuji dominate the government or did Li Shimin indulge his relatives? It didn't have to spread to the public, but to the harem, and his queen would not let it go. Since Li Shimin came to the throne, Empress Changsun has been asking for the reduction of Changsun Wuji's official position to avoid
In the future, there will be hidden dangers of the exclusive power of noble relatives. It was Li Shimin's insistence that made Changsun Wuji become the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. If this matter spread to the harem, Changsun Wuji's position as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel would definitely be lost.
Li Shimin did not allow Changsun Wuji to enter the palace, which was really to protect him. However, Changsun Wuji didn't know about it, and after thinking about it, the direction went wrong.
Changsun Wuji took out a piece of silver from his arms, quietly handed it to Eunuch Gao, and said: "Eunuch, I wonder what your Majesty and the Minister of Industry were talking about? Even I was not allowed in... Ah, if the matter involves secrets, just
Pretend I didn’t ask.”
Eunuch Gao put the money into his sleeves, looked around, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously: "If uncle Guo hadn't asked about it, I would never have said anything about it. Uncle Guo, what have you done these days?"
Come to the palace, there is something you may not know. The Emperor suddenly had an idea and wanted to go into business. How about that, he selected a villa belonging to the Prince of Hejian County and was about to demolish a high-rise building. His Majesty started work
Li Mu, the doctor in the Ministry, was responsible for this matter. It was difficult to tell the outside world about the business matters that the Emperor wanted to do. Li Mu had no choice but to say that he was working for the benefit of the craftsmen, contracted a project for a wealthy man, and became the foreman. Li Daliang, the Minister of the Ministry of Works,
Not knowing the details, I thought that Li Mu was pretending to be a public servant and seeking personal gain, so I came to report it to His Majesty. Your Majesty is talking to Li Daliang about this matter... Yi Laonu, look, if this matter continues like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to hide it for much longer!"
When Changsun Wuji heard this, he secretly thought that he was lucky! Fortunately, he didn't break into the palace directly. Fortunately, he asked Eunuch Gao!
Now Changsun Wuji understands everything! Why Li Mu assigned craftsmen and why he became the contractor, this was all Li Shimin’s intention. He had to do it, he had no choice! And from this point of view, what Manager Zhang said was also
I can’t fully believe it. Why is Li Mu so arrogant that he doesn’t pay attention to Duke Zhao’s government and dispatches craftsmen specifically to fight against Duke Zhao’s government? I’m afraid it’s all his one-sided words. Damn this lowly slave, he only spoke half of his words and dared to mislead me!
Damn it!
Just when Changsun Wuji felt angry, Li Daliang came out of the palace door. Seeing Changsun Wuji, Li Daliang bowed his hands and saluted. Changsun Wuji also returned the salute. This was not a place for greetings. The two of them
Without saying much, Eunuch Gao led the way, and Changsun Wuji followed him into the palace.
Li Shimin felt a little embarrassed when he saw Changsun Wuji. Changsun Wuji's family wanted to repair the yard and borrow a few craftsmen, which was not a problem at all. Just like Wang and Qian, Li Shimin knew it, but he would not
What could he say? But now that the situation was happening, with his father on one side and his brother-in-law on the other, he had to side with his father. It was really helpless.
Just as Li Shimin was about to speak, Changsun Wuji suddenly fell to his knees on the ground. Li Shimin hurried over to help him, saying: "Why is the auxiliary machine like this?! Get up quickly!"
Changsun Wuji fell to the ground and said: "Your Majesty, please punish me for my crime. The stewards in the palace flattered superiors and subordinates, and forced officials from the Ministry of Works to build my yard for me. It is difficult for me to know about these private and public actions."
If you escape the responsibility of inspection, your Majesty, please punish me to serve as a warning to others!"
