Li Shimin was noncommittal. He still had a doubt in his mind, so he just glanced at Li Mu and said, "Maybe."
Li Mu saw Li Shimin's expression, and his heart skipped a beat. He had gone through so much and still hadn't passed the test... It shouldn't be, what went wrong? Li Mu searched his mind, from beginning to end, and suddenly thought of a person, Yuan Tiangang!
If something goes wrong, it's probably because of him. Yuan Tiangang's name is too great, and it involves such mysterious things as physiognomy and divination, which makes people feel unsure.
Li Mu gritted his teeth and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing."
Li Shimin raised his eyes and looked at him: "Huh?"
"Your Majesty, I don't want to be such a villain who talks behind my back. But I just heard that Your Majesty seems to rely heavily on Yuan Tiangang, so I have to say something. Yuan Tiangang... Your Majesty must be careful."
Li Shimin frowned and asked, "Why should I guard against him?"
Li Muchu groaned, as if he had made up his mind, and said: "Because he is probably the son of the former Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty!"
Li Shimin smiled and asked: "How did you learn this? Could it be that you dreamed about it?"
Li Mu quickly shook his head and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, please don't take what I said as a joke. I have no enmity with Yuan Tiangang, so there is no need to frame him. I am... I, alas, I plead guilty."
"What do you want to plead guilty to?"
"I concealed it from Your Majesty. When I executed Princess Yicheng that day, in addition to the imperial seal, I also found a letter, a letter that I had not yet had time to send. When I was waiting for my adoptive father's army, out of curiosity, I
, then he opened it and read it. There was only one sentence in the letter, 'My sister went to Tuyuhun, and she took the opportunity to move. My brother stayed with the emperor, so be careful.', and the signature was ''."
Li Mu gestured and then said: "There was a circle drawn on the envelope. When I saw it, I was puzzled by its meaning. And because I found the imperial seal, I fell into great joy and went to my head, so I threw the letter away.
Now that I think about it, I really shouldn’t have. Later, when I was supervising the work, Yuan Tiangang came with the Supreme Emperor. He threatened me and said that he knew the details of me. I felt angry and suddenly thought that Yuan Tiangang was also accompanying the emperor.
, and his surname is Yuan, and his circle is also round, so I wanted to scare him. So I told him that I also know his details."
"Originally it was a joke, but Yuan Tiangang took it very seriously and asked the minister what details he knew about him. The minister said that he was the son of the former Emperor Wen. Unexpectedly, after the minister said this, Yuan Tiangang's expression changed drastically.
He instantly turned pale and cold sweat covered his cheeks. Until I walked away, he still stood there in a daze."
"Although I cannot conclude that Yuan Tiangang must be the 'brother' mentioned in Princess Yicheng's letter, your Majesty must be careful. It is really too dangerous."
"So that's it." Li Shimin murmured something and said: "Li Mu, since you told me, I won't blame you. After all, this is a rumor and there is no evidence. Li Mu, you have to remember that I
I hope you will do more practical things and don’t say such things to me in the future.”
Li Mu said anxiously: "But Your Majesty, I am worried about your safety..."
Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "You are my subject, and Yuan Tiangang is also my subject. I will judge the loyal and the traitor myself. Don't mention this matter again, and don't mention it to others."
Li Mu seemed to be very unwilling. He sighed and saluted, "I obey."
"Okay, after talking for so long, you must be tired. Please step back."
"I excuse myself."
Li Mu turned around and left. After a while, Eunuch Gao came in and said, "Your Majesty, Marquis Zhulu has gone far."
Li Shimin nodded. Eunuch Gao walked to a candlestick next to Li Shimin, grabbed the bronze base of the candlestick, and rotated it counterclockwise. The wall next to Li Shimin rotated, and a one-foot-wide gap appeared. A man leaned sideways through the gap.
It was Yuan Tiangang who walked out!
"Tiangang, did you hear clearly what I just said?"
Yuan Tiangang nodded and said, "I heard you clearly."
"Do you have such a secret code when communicating with Princess Yicheng?"
"The secrets are uncertain, but they are all shapes that are easy to understand at a glance, and it is very possible to make a circle and a cross."
Li Shimin pondered for a while and then asked: "What do you think of the dream world that Li Mu mentioned?"
"I think that if it were compiled now, so many details would not have been thought of in a hurry. It can be seen that Li Mu must have seen it with his own eyes, but the things he mentioned do not exist in our country in the Tang Dynasty, nor in the nearby countries. It should be him
From what I saw in the dream, I feel that Zhuluhou is not lying. I have done divination several times and the hexagrams are the same. Zhuluhou should be a person with Suhui. However, this Suhui has been integrated with him, and he
He can't tell what is brought by Su Hui and what is his own. This is also reasonable. After all, Su Hui cannot overshadow the guest, otherwise he will be another person. But now that he has retained his memory and recognizes his relatives, it means that he is still the same person.
Li Mu, not Su Hui, I think it is a good thing."
Li Shimin sighed and said: "Although I have countless capable ministers and generals, how many people can I really trust? If you hadn't advised me to make preparations earlier, I would have died under the arrows of King Chaosi at Xuanwu Gate.
.Although the bad guys under your command are scattered all over the place, they are still very weak after all. They can gather information, but they will not play much role in major events. But Li Mu is a person who can play a big role. Just Zhenguan alone.
If the plow is successfully implemented, the cultivated land in the coming year will increase by at least 30%. In less than five years, the grain output of our Datang Dynasty will be restored to the peak period of the previous dynasty."
"It's just such a person that I have to be wary of! If he can always be used by me, I will be more powerful than a tiger. But if he joins a wealthy family, it will be a big worry for me."
Li Shimin seemed to be talking to Yuan Tiangang, or to himself. But it was obvious that he had great trust in Yuan Tiangang and Eunuch Gao, otherwise he would not have talked about these things in front of them. Yuan Tiangang also
Don't interrupt, just listen quietly. For such a big matter, the opinions of others have little effect, and the emperor must make his own decision.
After thinking for a long time, Li Shimin made a decision and said: "I have to use such a talented person. Pay close attention to the people in the family who are close to Li Mu. If there is anything abnormal, I will report it at any time."
"promise."
When Li Mu came out of the imperial city, he immediately saw Tang Guan standing next to Li Chongyi. When Tang Guan saw Li Mu, he ran up to him and bowed to the end. When he raised his head again, his eyes were full of tears and he said excitedly:
"Brother, I have been waiting here and want to admit my fault to my brother face to face. Last time, I came to apologize, although I was convinced, but I was not convinced in my heart. Today, my brother defended me in every possible way in the hall. I was inexplicably moved and felt extremely ashamed.
This time, I sincerely admit my mistake to my brother, and I also ask my brother to forgive me..."
As he spoke, Tang Guan actually shed tears. Seeing him like this, Li Mu really couldn't bear to tell him the truth. Everything he said in the main hall just now was just to attack Kong Yingda, and with Tang Guan
It didn't matter at all, even if it was Sun Guan and Zhao Guan, he would still say whatever he said. However, if the favor was not in vain, Li Mu did not deny it, he responded vaguely, and continued to move forward.
Tang Guan looked very excited and followed behind and continued to chatter: "Brother, what I heard from my brother today is really better than studying for ten years. After listening to my brother's words today, I realized that I have so many advantages. If it hadn't been for my brother's advice, maybe
My younger brother is still worried that his studies are not as good as the same year..."
Li Mu suddenly stopped and turned around, "What did you say?"
"Ah?" Tang Guan was stunned and said, "My little brother said he was troubled by his studies..."
"That sentence before!"
Tang Guan saw that Li Mu's expression was wrong, and he said a little vainly: "Only after listening to my brother's words did I realize the advantages of my little brother..."
"Ha!" Li Mu laughed and said: "That's it! Tang Guan, I did find one of your strengths today... you are really thick-skinned! Do you really think that what I said is...
To be honest, you don’t even look at yourself. Kong Yingda puts it lightly. Not only are you not good at school, but you are also ignorant and incompetent. What advantages do you have?"
Tang Guan was stunned and said anxiously: "Then why did brother choose me to be the editor?"
Li Mu patted Tang Guan on the shoulder and said: "Brother, I didn't want to hurt your self-confidence, but now that I've said it, I'll tell you the truth. You should grow up too. Anyone can do this editing job. Anyone can read."
That's fine. I'm just plain lazy, so I didn't choose anyone. You just happened to be here, and it's an advantage for you. Don't take what I said today seriously, and the words I praised you are even more false. You didn't
He has no merits, he is just an ignorant and ignorant playboy."
Tang Guan really cried now and said: "Brother, you have hit me too hard. Even if I am really so unbearable, can you be more tactful?"
"Good medicine is bitter in the mouth and good for the disease, and good advice is bad for the ears and good for action. Since you call me brother, I will shoulder the responsibility of brother and let you know your own weight, so as not to suffer losses in the future."
"Oh..." Tang Guan lowered his head, and all his excitement was gone.
"But don't belittle yourself. As long as you work hard, you can still make some progress. Just work hard."
Tang Guan was originally full of confidence, but after hearing what Li Mu said, he felt a little unsure and asked: "Brother, I have to write a manuscript every day, how should I write it?"
Li Mu climbed on the horse and said: "Simple, the affairs of the court only involve the king, the ministers and the people. Between the king and his ministers, loyalty to the king, between the subjects, love for the people, between the king and the people, I advise the king to love the people. Grasp these three points.
, you can’t go wrong no matter how you write it.”
"Your Majesty, your subjects, your subjects..." Tang Guan chewed on Li Mu's words, a little unable to react. When he was almost done, when he raised his head, Li Mu had already walked away. Tang Guan sighed: "Brother is brother, Gao Shen
It's unpredictable. Just a word can make me feel enlightened! When will I be like him?"
After saying that, he sighed again, shook his head and went home.
