Li Mu was choked and speechless. In fact, he either didn't understand, or he felt unhappy. And the main reason he was unhappy was not because of Li Ji and Li Siwen, but because of himself. Li Shimin's attitude deeply made Li Mu
I feel like I am just a little cow and horse. Forget it once, come twice in two days in a row. Cows and horses also have tempers, okay?
Li Mu thought to himself, do you treat me like a child? Do you not take me seriously? What if I just treat me like a naughty child?
The most important thing is that Li Mu is confident. Now the mines, salt, internal funds, and the Ministry of Industry are all waiting for him to do things. As long as it is not too excessive and a small quarrel is made, nothing can be done to him.
In short, Li Mu just wants to "work". His "work" is essentially the same as Li Shimin's, it requires dignity. The emperor wants the dignity of the emperor and cannot be at the mercy of his ministers. The time traveler also has the dignity of the time traveler, and the emperor also has the dignity of the time traveler.
Why, I'm working for you, not selling it to you. It's one thing to be willing to work for you as a cow or horse, but it's another thing for you to treat me as a cow or horse!
Even oxen and horses sometimes buckle. Today I am going to buckle!
Li Mu had nothing to say in reply, so he simply lied and said: "Your Majesty, I won't tell you this anymore. I don't understand. I just ask you, are we still good friends? I said that on the roof of Tai Chi Hall that day.
If so, does it still count?"
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, nodded, and said: "Of course, you support me, and I support you. We are good friends, and I admit it. But in this matter, Shimin did the right thing, and I don't
It’s good to be a part of it.”
"I don't need it!" Li Mu said forcefully: "His Majesty is the emperor, I can't offend him... I can't offend him... I can't drink yet! I want to get drunk today! I just gave Xiao
Eunuch Chen gave me a piece of gold and asked him to buy a banquet. Today we will close the door and eat and drink, just for the money. I eat beef, and I want to drink ten jars of wine to extinguish the anger in my heart!"
Li Yuan was amused by Li Mu's behavior, and thought to himself, this kid is also a wonderful person. He knows he can't be offended, but he still refuses to give in, so why not just accompany him for a while!
"Okay, I'll get drunk with you today and then I'll rest!"
When Li Yourong heard this, he quickly advised: "Grandpa Huang, you should not drink too much."
"You know..." Before the last word came out of his mouth, Li Yuan glanced at him. Li Mu held it back and changed his words: "When will it be your turn to take charge? Let me tell you, there is no Supreme Emperor today, only my year-end friend."
.This old man and I are brothers, little girl, please call me grandpa!"
Li Yourong ignored him, as if he didn't hear anything, and just looked at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan smiled helplessly. He didn't expect that this guy would take his words when he was drunk that day seriously. I'm afraid there's no one else in the world who can climb on a pole like this. But he couldn't deny it because he was drunk that day.
Afterwards, it was he who forced Li Mu to recognize him as his brother. It was Li Mu who refused to agree, and finally refused to recognize him.
How could Li Yuan have imagined that Li Mu would really dare to talk about this matter. Old man? Apart from this bastard, there is probably no other person in the world who dares to call him "old man"!
Li Yourong glared at Li Mu, but Li Mu was not afraid at all and stared back at her.
Seeing that the two of them were cross-eyed, Li Yuan said helplessly: "Okay, don't mess around anymore. Granddaughter, you can't trust what you say. Grandpa said it himself. Let's talk about it. You don't need to call him."
Grandpa, what are you talking about!"
After saying that, he glared at Li Mu and said, "Don't go too far! You still call me old man and let the people of the world hear you. How many heads do you have?"
Li Mu quickly apologized and said, "Your Majesty, don't blame me. I'm just kidding you."
"Go on, when you're ready, call me again. Yourong and I will play another game." After saying that, he looked at Li Mu's tiger-skin mink and said, "Did you make this dress yourself?
"
"Well, if the Emperor likes it, I will make one for you another day."
"I'll forget it. At my age, I can't wear such fancy clothes." Li Yuan reached out and touched the sleeves of the tiger-skin mink, and said, "It's a pity for this fine white tiger skin! That's all, you
Be thoughtful and make one for Yourong. If she wears it, she will be beautiful."
"," Li Mu showed disdain, and Li Yourong also said, "Grandpa Huang, I don't want his things."
"Oh, it seems like I would do it for you."
"You give it to me, but I don't want it either!"
"I can't possibly give it!"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Li Yuan quickly drove Li Mu out. Li Mu hated Li Yourong, and Li Yuan could understand it. But after all, she was his granddaughter and had suffered so much. How could he blame him? He could only blame the two.
People are getting into trouble.
…
Li Mu was drinking and fooling around in heaven and earth, but he didn't know that there were some people in Chang'an City who were already waiting anxiously for him.
The first one was Changsun Wuji. Changsun Wuji came in and out of the palace relatively casually. In fact, he had heard Li Shimin talk about the fine salt. He knew that Li Mu planned to use fine salt to thank the various tribes in Longyou. But after waiting for a few days, he disappeared.
Li Mu came to the door and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
Not only him, but other members of the Longyou forces were also losing their composure. The first person to bear the brunt was Gao Shilian, who owned a private mine. The new mining policy of the imperial court had a direct impact on him. If he follows his true intentions,
, he will vote against this matter.
But the deal is done, and Changsun Wuji is the person in charge of the Longyou forces. As an older generation, he can't say much. He only hopes that the benefits he will get can fill the hole of losses, and he will be satisfied. But after waiting,
After a while, I couldn't bear to listen anymore, so my temper got worse. I organized a group of people and came to Zhao Guogong's mansion to ask Changsun Wuji for an explanation.
Don't look at Changsun Wuji's power in the government, but in front of Gao Shilian, he has no temper at all. When he was young, he and Queen Changsun were kicked out of the house by their uncle. Without Gao Shilian's care, their brother and sister would have died long ago. Gao Shilian
Lian is like a father to him. He has to listen to whatever is said, right or wrong. Moreover, he himself also murmured about Li Mu. According to what was said when the heaven and earth met that day, Li Mu should have arrived.
I paid a visit. What happened? Why are you still delayed?
Gao Shilian brought someone to ask for an explanation, and Changsun Wuji had no choice but to tell the news he got from Li Shimin. After hearing this, Gao Shilian frowned and said: "Auxiliary machine, what happened to you and His Majesty? Such ridiculous words,
How can you believe this? Everyone in the world knows that rock salt is poisonous. If there was a solution, it would have been solved long ago. Why is there no salt to eat? He, Li Mu, is a god. Can poisonous things become non-poisonous? Oh, I just have to
You don’t believe it!”
There are also people who hold different opinions. This person's name is Dugu Xiude, who is the leader of the Dugu Clan today. This person is also a powerful man. In the fourth year of Wude, Li Shimin defeated Wang Shichong, captured him, and dedicated him to Li Yuan. Wang Shichong
Because he surrendered voluntarily and Li Shimin had promised to spare the lives of his family, he escaped. At that time, Li Yuan demoted him to a commoner and distributed his family to his family. But just before leaving, several officials suddenly came and called him "Your Majesty."
There was an edict for Wang Shichong to accept the edict. Wang Shichong believed it and knelt down to accept the edict. Unexpectedly, just as he knelt down, these people took out the daggers and daggers hidden in their sleeves and struck them with knives. Poor Wang Shichong, a powerful hero, died.
Under the three swords and six holes.
It was later found out that the leader among those people was Dugu Xiude, the governor of Dingzhou at the time. His father, Duguji, was once a subordinate of Wang Shichong. In the second year of Wude, he tried to surrender to the Tang Dynasty and was killed by Wang Shichong. Therefore, Dugu Xiude killed Wang Shichong.
It is to avenge my father.
After the matter was found out, someone wrote a letter to kill Dugu Xiude. But Li Yuan did not do that. He just dismissed him from office and settled the matter. Dugu Xiude did not matter. The Dugu family was originally a Xianbei surname and was famous in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. His ancestor Dugu Xinsheng
Six sons and seven daughters, all of them are dragons and phoenixes among men. Among the seven daughters, three queens, Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty, were all his sons-in-law.
After the demise of the Sui Dynasty, although the Dugu clan gradually declined, it was still a high-class clan. Although there was no general in the clan, it was still the mainstay of Longyou's military power. There were many people who were good at conquering and fighting, and no one dared to underestimate him. Dugu cultivated his virtue.
Even the current feudal lord is an upper-class figure among the nobles of Chang'an.
After hearing Gao Shilian's words, Dugu Xiude said: "What the old man said is wrong. There has always been coal and stone. But why did no one know how to use it in the past? Isn't it the method that Li Mu came up with? And that?
The Kang has just been built in my house. Just fill it with firewood and it will keep you warm all night. It’s very comfortable to sleep on. I really don’t know how he came up with it. In my opinion, it must be true. If he keeps fooling around, he still dares to bully me.
Jun?"
This statement has also been recognized by many people.
Seeing the disagreement, Gao Shilian said: "Whether it's true or false, let's not argue. Find this guy and ask him. Wouldn't it be clear?" After that, he looked at Changsun Wuji and said:
"Auxiliary engine, send someone to look for it!"
Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle, Li Mu is a junior. You said that I was looking for him... as if I was begging him, and I couldn't do it without him. And I had already told him about the opening of Heaven and Earth on that day. He agreed.
Okay, he said he would come to visit me. It hasn't been long now, and I sent someone to find him, but he seemed too restless."
"You can keep your composure! Who will compensate me for my mine?" Gao Shilian said angrily: "If you don't send someone to find it, why don't I send someone to find it? You can't bear to lose face, I have such an old face
Be brave!"
"Uncle, please wait..."
Changsun Wuji advised, and others also advised. When they were arguing, suddenly the housekeeper from the mansion came, slipped behind Changsun Wuji, and whispered a few words in a low voice.
After hearing this, Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly and said: "Okay, stop arguing, I found the reason!"
Gao Shilian immediately asked: "What's going on? What's going on with that boy?!"
"Li Ji went to Bingzhou, and the boy was unhappy. He made trouble by dragging the Supreme Emperor to drink in heaven and earth, and now he is locked up in Dali Temple!"
