Li Mu said seriously: "I believe in my sworn brother."
Li Shimin glanced at the letter again, turned around and sat down again, pointed to the chair opposite, and said to Li Mu: "Sit down and tell me all the causes and consequences of this matter without omitting anything."
Li Mu nodded, glanced at Li Chongyi, and asked him to guard outside and not let anyone get close. Li Mu sat down, cleared his throat first, and said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, before I say anything, I must first act like
Your Majesty, please excuse me."
Li Shimin was a little impatient and said: "Let's talk about the important things first, and put the confession later. Is your personal matter more important, or the national affairs?"
"But this matter was caused by personal matters..."
Li Shimin glanced at him and said helplessly: "Okay, you say it!"
"Your Majesty, you know that I have good conduct and have no bad habits or bad habits..."
Li Shimin couldn't bear it anymore: "If you talk nonsense again, I'll beat you up!"
Li Mu quickly shut up, muttered, and said, "I have fallen in love with another woman."
"I heard, isn't she the daughter of that aristocratic family? I heard from the senior officials, okay, I will make the decision for you. No matter whose family you belong to, I will decree a marriage for you. You hurry up and get down to business!"
Li Mu's heart suddenly suddenly broke down, and he was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat on his back. He thought that the affair between her and Wang Ou had been exposed, but it turned out to be a false alarm. But he was very strange, how did the matter leak out? When he said this at that time,
Eunuch Gao is not around either. Is there an informant in the mansion?
Li Mu murmured in his heart, but did not dare to ask, saying: "It's not this one, it's the other one."
"How many do you have?"
"Four, four." Li Mu raised his left hand, clasped his thumb and said, "It's four for the time being, but not necessarily in the future."
Li Shimin was almost furious. He gritted his teeth and said, "Li Mu, you are still young and cannot indulge in female sex. Why don't you know any restraint? What's going on? Please tell me quickly!"
"Hey!" Li Mu responded continuously, saying: "The fourth lady of the minister, there is a little problem with her background. Her father is one of the three major horse bandits in Longyou and the leader of Zhangjiazhai. She is Zhangjiazhai.
The eldest lady of the family village, I met her when..."
Li Shimin interrupted Li Mu and said, "I don't care about this. What I'm asking about is Gaochang!"
Li Mu felt happy when he saw that Li Shimin didn't care much about the horse bandits. He skipped the details and said straightforwardly: "To put it simply, the thing is like this. After our Tang Dynasty destroyed the Turks, life in Zhangjiazhai was not easy. Zhangjiazhai
The leader of the village, my father-in-law Zhang Xun, wanted to join the Tang Dynasty through him because he and my adoptive father Li Ji were old friends. However, Your Majesty knew the character of my adoptive father and was too cautious, and after all, the horse bandit
If he is a bandit, he will not be allowed to answer."
"My father-in-law failed to seek refuge in the Tang Dynasty, so he thought of moving west to Gaochang. He wanted to marry my fourth wife, Zhang Tianai, to the crown prince of Gaochang, Ju Zhisheng. Of course, my fourth wife refused, and came to Chang'an to find me. This
At that time, the two Western Turks appeared, and His Majesty learned the news that Ju Zhisheng was in Chang'an, and asked me to go find Ju Zhisheng. You said it was a coincidence that we met on a narrow road!"
Li Shimin frowned and said, "Why didn't you tell me a word about these things?"
"Uh..." Li Mu said with a smile on his face, "When you listen to what I said, you will know why I didn't say anything."
Li Shimin snorted and said, "Say!"
"Your Majesty asked me to look for Ju Zhisheng, do you dare not to look for me? I just kept looking and looking for you. You don't know the situation at that time. I used various channels and even published it in newspapers, and I almost turned the city of Chang'an upside down. I was stunned.
I couldn't even find a shadow."
Li Shimin frowned and said, "Didn't you find it? Pay homage to Buddha at Ci'en Temple. Is that what you told me?"
Li Mu said sarcastically: "I lied..."
"You!" Li Shimin gritted his teeth in anger, pointed at Li Mu, snorted, and said: "Let me hear what you have to say first. If you can't get along, I will punish you for deceiving the emperor!"
Li Mu quickly apologized and said, "I have already confessed. This time I really didn't hide anything from Your Majesty."
"Say it quickly!"
"I searched for a whole day but couldn't find it. I thought in my heart that I have betrayed the emperor's favor and would never forgive him, so I sighed. At this time, my father-in-law"
Li Shimin twisted his eyebrows: "Who is my father-in-law? Please tell me clearly!"
"My father-in-law No. 1, Jingdong Ji, Bai Nao'er, does your Majesty still have any impressions?"
Li Shimin nodded and said, "He found it for you?"
"No, he has a helper under him. This helper is the second eldest in the family. His name is Ergou. He also has a younger brother named Sangou who works as a jailer in the prison in Wannian County. He heard Ergou talk about the minister.
I wanted to find someone, so I thought about it, so I took a look in the prison, and guess what, Prince Gaochang and his entourage are actually in prison!"
"In prison!" Li Shimin said in surprise: "How did he end up in prison? Didn't he reveal his identity? Did the jailers know that he was the prince of Gaochang, so didn't they report it?"
"Alas!" Li Mu lied and said, "How dare he say it! He was caught by a police officer for molesting a woman in the street. Not to mention that this was not a glorious thing, let's just say that he left the mission and went to work privately.
It is a big crime in Chang'an City. Therefore, he dare not reveal his identity. Even if he did, who would believe it? A dignified prince of a country actually molests a daughter of the people? I don't want to lose my face!"
Li Shimin said bitterly: "I really didn't expect that the conduct of the Crown Prince of Gaochang would be so bad! He actually molested a woman of my country in the capital of the Tang Dynasty, but did he still take me seriously? He deserves to be imprisoned. The officer who caught him deserved it.
He should be rewarded and taught a lesson!"
Li Mu looked at Li Shimin's face and asked carefully: "Your Majesty also thinks he should be punished?"
Li Shimin nodded and suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked at Li Mu warily and said, "Have you already done something to him?"
"Uh..." Li Mu laughed guiltily, and Li Shimin's anger suddenly rushed to his head again. He slapped the table and said, "Li Mu! Do you still have any rules? No matter how wrong the Crown Prince of Gaochang is, he is also an envoy. The two countries are not at war yet.
The envoy is here, if you attack him, you will really lose your face at all!"
"Your Majesty, please keep your voice down!" Li Mu begged quickly, lowering his voice and said, "I did it very covertly and didn't show up. He doesn't even know that the person who harmed him is me. If you yell out, then your secret will be revealed!"
"How did you do it?"
Li Mu leaned into Li Shimin's ear and muttered something about him sitting down. Li Shimin felt nauseated and retched for a while, and said: "Li Mu, you are so naughty! Do you even think of such sinister ideas?
Come to conclusion?"
"Who asked him to steal my woman?" Li Mu snorted and said arrogantly: "Whoever steals my woman, I will deal with him. I have such a hobby as lust, and I will never give in to it!"
Li Shimin laughed in anger and said helplessly: "This is the first time I have seen someone talk about lust so openly. What kind of skill is this? A real man should make contributions..."
"Oh, Your Majesty!" Li Mu interrupted Li Shimin's nagging and said: "According to what I can see with my eyes, most of those people who dream about making achievements every day are lustful at home. But I am just the opposite. I want to do it every day.
I am lustful at home, so I should give birth to a son as soon as possible to save my mother from worrying about it, but I am forced to work outside every day to make achievements, and I have no time to create people. I am short of what to think about, I have no time to be lustful, so I can’t save it first, I can wait until I have time.
What's wrong with having more sons? It's his fault that the Gaochang monkey robbed me, and his conduct is so low. How could a beauty like my fourth wife fall into his hands? I
This is showing pity for the beauty!"
"Marriage is a matter of parents' order and matchmaker's words. The head of Zhangjiazhai has already promised his daughter to the Crown Prince of Gaochang. Is it reasonable for you to seize love with a knife?"
"Ignore it and get the job done! If he doesn't accept it, come and beat me!"
"Look at you looking like a scoundrel!" Li Shimin sighed and said, "What happens next? Don't whet my appetite, finish it quickly!"
Li Mu chuckled and said: "This is about the strong man who did the sleeve-cutting thing. He followed Ju Zhisheng and pretended to be a follower. But in fact, his true identity is also one of the three horse bandits in Longyou.
His name is Wusman, and he is the leader of the Tiansha Alliance. He is in a similar situation to Zhangjiazhai. He cannot afford to offend our Tang Dynasty, so he led his men and two thousand villains to Gaochang. Gaochang’s military force is weak, and his
Taking refuge is very important to Gaochang. Ju Zhisheng saw that all the people in Wusman were fierce, so he took them under his command, imitating Liu Liu, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, and called them personal soldiers."
"But Usman did such a thing, even if he was under the influence of drugs, he wouldn't be able to survive. I didn't think too much at the time. I just wanted to cause some trouble for Ju and his son, so I said to Usman, I
I can let you go. If you want to repay me, take advantage of the fact that the Ju family and his son are in Chang'an and cause harm to Gaochang. I didn't expect that he would be so cruel, killing both Ju Wentai's remaining sons, and he could also
He escaped unscathed, I thought he was a talent!"
"You..." Li Shimin didn't know what it was like after hearing the whole thing. He was angry that Li Mu had lied to him and used tricks to defeat him, but he had to admit that Li Mu had done this unintentionally, which made Gao Chang
The deadlock suddenly became clearer.
As a strategist, Li Shimin would naturally not miss such an opportunity.
He had never known that Gaochang's military force was so weak. It was unimaginable that two thousand horse bandits could run rampant in the capital of Gaochang and kill the prince. Thinking of Ju Wen Taixu's arrogance in the past few days, Li Shimin suddenly felt
It's ridiculous, it turns out that everything was just an act, nothing more than pretentiousness!
Now that he knew the details, and with the help of Wusman, Li Shimin instantly came up with countless ways to play tricks on Gao Chang.
Now, he is not in a hurry to garrison troops in Gaochang and set up generals to supervise the country.
