It was three o'clock in the morning before Li Mu would get up. Li Mu was drunk last night and fell asleep when he got home. He woke up in the middle of the night to regain his energy, and he and Bai Qiaoqiao tossed around till dawn. It was already dawn and he was tired, so he hugged Bai Qiao
Sleep wisely.
Bai Qiaoqiao was worried that she would be gossiped about by the servants behind her back by the servants in the house after spending so much time with Li Mu and getting up so late every day. When Li Mu fell asleep, she quietly removed his arms and got up. Worried that Li Mu could not sleep well, Bai Qiaoqiao worried that Li Mu would not sleep well.
Li Zhien, who had watched the show all night next to her, stuffed her into his arms. Li Zhien was not afraid of anyone gossiping, but she felt happy if anyone said anything about her. Isn't that what a concubine does? Being able to serve the master makes her happy.
Everything is important.
So Li Zhien lay in Li Mu's arms and slept with him all morning. It was not until lunch was about to be eaten that he was woken up by Bai Qiaoqiao, and under Li Zhien's care, he got dressed and got up.
After washing up, Xiaozhu brought lunch. Li Mu took the newspaper from Bai Qiaoqiao's hand, weighed it in his hand, and raised his eyebrows.
Today's newspapers are a bit heavy.
Li Mu opened the newspaper and flipped through it. In today's newspaper, there were three papers and two papers, all of which were masterpieces by the censors. There were a total of eight articles published, all with similar content. They all said that Lu Zhilin had deceived him and made false accusations.
I have regretted my decision to marry Zhuluhou. I have been thinking hard at home for the past few days, and I finally realized that everything Zhuluhou did was for the sake of the people of the world. His Majesty has the wisdom to recognize people, so he will reuse the deeds of Zhuluhou, the monarch and his ministers.
It will be passed down as a good story in future generations...
"Fool on the wall!"
Li Mu read a few articles, and the contents were all similar. He couldn't help but feel that it was boring, so he threw the newspaper aside, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Bai Qiaoqiao didn't have the habit of reading newspapers, nor was she curious. Li Zhien was curious, so he picked up the newspaper and read it, covering his mouth to suppress laughter. Li Mu glanced at her and said, "What are you laughing at? Is it funny?"
"Of course it's funny." Li Zhien put down the newspaper and said: "Master, if I remember correctly, there must have been more than ten censors who falsely accused you with Lu Zhilin that day. There are only eight articles here. In other words, there are still people
Didn’t write it.”
Li Mu put a piece of beef with soy sauce into his mouth and bid fifty guan. He always bought some cows that fell to death for no apparent reason. It was really strange.
"Isn't it normal that someone didn't write about it? It's so mean-spirited. Is it funny?"
"Oh, Master, you didn't understand what I meant." Li Zhien smiled brightly and said, "Some people wrote it, and some people didn't. Do you think there will be a fight?"
"?" Li Mu thought for a while, nodded, and said: "There will definitely be a fight, oh! It's a mistake not to join in such a big excitement! It's better to get up early, it's late, and I can't see it now!"
"It's not too late." Li Zhien blinked and said, "Isn't there one more thing you haven't done yet?"
"What's the matter?" Li Mu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized what was going on. He glared at Li Zhien angrily: "I'm eating, thinking about such disgusting things! Even if I want to splash...that thing, I won't do it myself.
Take action! Little girl, stop thinking about these useless things and eat!"
"Oh..." Li Zhien puffed up his mouth and looked at Bai Qiaoqiao aggrievedly. Bai Qiaoqiao gave her a piece of soy sauce beef and said, "Eat it quickly, we have to go to the store later."
After lunch, Bai Qiaoqiao took Li Zhien to Jingdong Market. Li Mu called Li Chongyi and Dugujiu to get on the carriage. Just as he was about to go out, he suddenly smelled a smell and saw two Yexiang cars parked at the gate of the square.
The wind happened to be blowing this way, and Li Mu and others were downwind of the car, and the stench kept coming.
Li Mu was furious, "His grandma, I haven't taken action yet, but you are going to take action first. What do you mean? You want to make trouble for me by blocking the door of my house with two dung trucks?"
"Big man, do you know what to do?"
"Yeah!" Li Chongyi responded, jumped down from the shaft of the cart, and rushed straight over with a giant axe. As soon as he got close, and was about to start a killing spree, a person appeared from behind the two night fragrance carts. Li Mu took a closer look.
Look, one is fat, the other is thin, one is tall and the other is short, they are Chang Sun Chong and Wang Pu.
Both of them blocked their noses with paper balls. When they saw Li Mu, they ran over quickly.
Wang Pu was more agile than Chang Sun Chong and ran a little faster. He came to Li Mu first and said, "Master Marquis, we have been waiting for a long time, shall we set off now?"
"Master, Master!" Changsun ran a few steps and was already wheezing and wheezing. The paper ball blocking his nose also fell off. After these few breaths of breath, the stench was sucked into his stomach, and his stomach couldn't help churning.
He wanted to speak but couldn't. He held on to the shaft of the cart and retched for a while before he managed to recover and said: "Master, disciple, disciple is also ready. The cart is full!"
Li Mu asked knowingly, "What do you mean? I am avenging myself, why are you joining in the fun? I don't want people to think that I am bullying others."
"No, no!" Wang Pu said quickly: "We are doing this spontaneously and voluntarily. If anything happens, we will be responsible for it ourselves. We have nothing to do with the Marquis."
"Yeah?"
Changsun nodded fiercely: "Yes, yes, master, this is what a disciple should do!"
"Oh." Li Mu nodded and said, "Well, I can't let your best intentions go to waste, right... But, it's just you two, what about the others?"
Changsun Chong said: "The Lord Dugu entrusted Bai Shiling from Jingdong Ji to help collect the night incense. Yuchi Huan also got a cart. Now it is parked on the road that must pass by the censor's platform. He is just waiting for the master's order.
Give them some advice on the way. Although the other shareholders are not here, they all contributed money and no one is watching. Here is the list."
Changsun Chong said and handed a list to Li Mu. Li Mu picked it up and glanced at it. Basically, all the shareholders of Datang Salt Industry paid for Ye Xiang. The car in front of him was just a look. In total, he collected enough
Seven or eight cars.
"It's the same here." Wang Pu also handed over a list of people who were recruited from Datang Mining.
Li Mu looked at the two lists and sighed: "How can I, Li Mu, be so virtuous and worthy of being so praised by everyone? Alas..."
Changsun rushed to flatter him: "Master's hard work has made great achievements. Everyone can see it. I think it's all deserved. Master doesn't need to be too modest."
"Yes, Lord Marquis, you guys did it voluntarily, why do you have to be so polite."
"Well, since you all said so, I would like to thank you for your kindness on behalf of the censors. I hope they can have a good sleep after taking a bath in the fragrant soup." Li Mu laughed and waved his hand forward.
Said: "Xiaojiu, go to Jingdong to notify the assembly, get the list, except for those who have repented in Datang Daily today, I will give them a false impression, don't let anyone go, remember, no harm will come to your wife and children, be careful
Come on, we are not unreasonable people! Let’s go!”
Wang Pu was very excited. He was a dandy at first. He thought that he had already played all the things that a dandy could play. Unexpectedly, Li Mu opened a new door for him. It turned out that he could also play like this, filling the censor with shit.
It was so interesting for the censor to eat shit. Even if it was not for the benefit of the family, he still wanted to participate. He shouted excitedly: "Let's go! Let's drink one first!"
Although Changsun Chong felt that it was an insult to the gentlemen, now that he had become a disciple, he could not look back. As Li Mu's apprentice, he could not leave him no matter what. He was being poked in the back anyway, so he might as well have fun first and then talk about it!
After understanding this, I no longer have any obstacles in my mind. The night fragrance in his car also contains the two bubbles he made last night. It really stinks.
A large group of people went straight to a censor's house who was stubbornly resisting. Many people on the road had read the newspapers of the past few days and knew what was going on. Some even went to register to sell night incense and saw Li Mu dispatched.
They followed, and the number of people in the group grew, almost blocking the street.
…
Tai Chi Palace.
Li Shimin was holding a cloth bag with ice inside, and was applying it to his cheek. I don't know what happened today. When I got up in the morning, my teeth started to hurt, and my left cheek was swollen. I asked Sun Simiao to come and see him, but Sun Simiao only said it was because of anger.
Due to depression, there was no good solution. In desperation, Li Shimin had no choice but to apply ice to relieve it.
Li Shimin grinned and said angrily: "Senior officials, do you have any news? What do they do for food? Is it so difficult to find out some news?"
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, there is news!" Eunuch Gao took a piece of paper from a young eunuch, glanced at it a few times while running, ran to Li Shimin and presented it with both hands. Li Shimin moved it back and said
: "Can't you see my toothache? You read it!"
"Hey, I'll read it to you, old slave." Eunuch Gao read: "The news came from the bad guys outside the palace. Zhuluhou and his men filled the carriages of ten censors with night fragrance, and the rest were also separated.
They were thrown over the wall into the palace of these censors. Now Zhuluhou is handing out money at the gate of Jingdong Market, and the people are lining up in a long queue, and they are all jumping for joy..."
"Ouch..." Li Shimin's teeth hurt even more. He took a breath and said, "My anger comes from here! Li Mu, Li Mu, they are really pissing me off! I'm having lunch."
I was still thinking, this kid Li Mu has been quiet all morning, maybe he has become sensible? Have you thought about it? Unexpectedly, he did it anyway! Ridiculous! Ridiculous! How should this be recorded if future generations compile history? The appearance of the Zhenguan Dynasty
You killed a ridiculous prince and threw excrement in the street. I didn’t care about it and turned a blind eye?"
"Hiss... You are trying to make me a fool! Bastard!!"
What else could Eunuch Gao say? He carefully said: "Your Majesty, this old servant feels that Zhulu Hou has been silent all morning. He must have gone through a lot of struggle..."
"Fart!" Li Shimin cursed angrily, which affected the nerves in his gums, causing pain again. He covered his face. It took him a long time to calm down and said: "There is no need to say good things for him, I am not a fool! He just drank yesterday.
I didn’t wake up after too much... Oops, my teeth hurt so much!"
"Your Majesty, please calm down and let me go get some ice."
Li Shimin waved his hand, and Eunuch Gao quickly slipped out. After being scolded by Li Yuan yesterday, Li Shimin was not in a good mood when he returned to the palace. Eunuch Gao waited beside him, cautiously, as if he were walking on thin ice, for fear that he might say something wrong and cause anger.
Unexpectedly, despite all the precautions, Li Shimin himself had a toothache, but he still didn't hide away.
After carefully leading the door, Eunuch Gao turned around and looked at the little eunuch who had just delivered the letter at the door. The little eunuch had a smile on his face. Logically speaking, he should be rewarded for delivering the note in time.
"What are you looking at?"
The little eunuch was confused.
"My family asks you what are you looking for? What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for a reward? You sent the news so late, and you still have the nerve to ask for a reward? The Za family wants to slap you to death!"
The little eunuch was frightened and cried. He knelt at Eunuch Gao's feet and kowtowed: "Old ancestor, please calm down. Old ancestor..."
"roll!"
The little eunuch rolled around and ran away. Eunuch Gao took a deep breath and felt much more comfortable.
"If your Majesty scolds me, I will scold you! You eggless things..." Eunuch Gao cursed, looked down at his crotch, pursed his lips, snorted, and went to find ice cubes.
At Jingdong Market, more than 30 flowing water seats were opened on the street. Although the weather was cold, it could not stop the enthusiasm of the people.
Everyone who is "participating in the grand event" today, one by one, can bring their families and mouths to eat. They can eat when they are open, and they can take it away if they are not finished.
Li Mu held a roast leg of lamb in his hand and ate it slowly, filled with emotion. He pointed to the table in front of him. He had just finished eating and was 'packing' the people he wanted to take away. He looked at Wang Puhe beside him.
Changsun Chong said: "Look, the people of the Tang Dynasty are so simple and honest. When I give them money, they refuse to take it all and are satisfied with just one meal. The folk customs are really simple and touching."
Changsun Chong curled his lips when he heard this. Where did the simplicity come from and where did the emotion come from? Master, your old man's idea is really unique!
Yes, this running water mat was built with the money left over from buying night incense. But that’s not the case. Li Mu’s original intention was to use 10,000 guan to buy yexiang. No matter how much, the 10,000 guan would be divided. But selling
The people of Yexiang were really embarrassed to ask for ten guan for a bucket of excrement. They were given too much, and they felt guilty and dared not ask for it. Did that mean they didn't want it?
The people refused to ask for it, but Li Mu insisted on giving it. Unable to give up, he had to retreat and open the running water mat. He killed thirty sheep alone. They were all cooked and served in pots one by one.
These people didn't pack leftovers. They just carried the basins and left. How could they be so simple?
Changsun Chong and Wang Pu were silent, not because they didn't support them, but because they really didn't know what to say.
Li Mu ignored them and continued to sigh: "You two, one is my disciple and the other is my brother..."
Wang Pu smiled and answered: "No brother, just a cow and horse. I am the Marquis's calf and horse."
Li Mu frowned and said, "That's not a good thing to say, right? It's a bit insulting."
"How can it be possible? Didn't the Marquis say that he is a bull ox for the people and a thousand-mile horse for His Majesty? I can't compare with Lord Marquis and can't be a bull ox for the people and a thousand-mile horse for Your Majesty. I have no choice but to take a back seat and be the ox and horse for the Marquis.
How can you be insulted if you are willing to let the Marquis drive you?"
"Smart!" Li Mu praised him and said: "Brother Wang, I knew we were in love, look, we thought of getting together! I'm so happy today, I'm not someone who hides things, I'll share with you how I do things.
