On the way back to the palace, Li Shimin said nothing. Eunuch Gao glanced at Yuan Tiangang and was secretly happy. After beating Yuan Tiangang back to Chang'an, Li Shimin summoned him every day, sometimes three times a day.
It made him feel threatened. Yuan Tiangang didn't even mention a single word about the things that King Yan did that Li Mu mentioned today. He must not be able to escape the crime of dereliction of duty.
In the current position that Eunuch Gao is in, there is no competition for power and profit between him and Yuan Tiangang. He is very simply happy to see Yuan Tiangang's misfortune.
Back at Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin was sitting on the couch. Before he could speak, Yuan Tiangang had already knelt down.
"I have committed a crime of negligence, please punish me."
Li Shimin glanced at him and asked, "Is King Yan really what Li Mu said?"
"This..." Yuan Tiangang hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know."
"Is it because I don't know, or because I don't dare to say?"
Yuan Tiangang lowered his head and said nothing.
Li Shimin sighed and said: "Because he is my son, you don't dare to tell me his faults. Then, if any of my sons have other ideas, you won't tell me?
"
Yuan Tiangang was horrified by these words. He banged his head on the ground and said urgently: "Your Majesty, my loyalty to your Majesty can be proved by heaven and earth. The reason why I didn't tell your majesty about King Yan is because I felt that after all, King Yan
I am so young that I can be forgiven for mishandling things. Moreover, it did not cause any serious disaster, so it is not a big deal. Your Majesty has so many things to do every day, how can you waste your energy on such trivial things? Your Majesty, please punish me if you mishandle me!"
"You did mishandle it." Li Shimin's voice was calm, not angry, as if he was stating a fact: "I am the emperor, and I have to reflect on myself every day to see if I have not done enough and failed the people. Is it possible for my son to still do something wrong?"
Can you go over my head? I treat the people well, but he oppresses them, which is a slap in my face. You are my eyes, but you turn a blind eye and do not tell me about his evil deeds, which is to cover up and condone him!"
Yuan Tiangang was dripping with cold sweat and did not dare to raise his head, saying: "I know the crime!"
Li Shimin rubbed his face and sighed: "I can't blame you. It's my fault. I didn't explain it to you. Now you remember, from now on, bad people will not only monitor all officials, but also the emperor's relatives."
It is under supervision. It is summarized and shown to me once a month. I will make my own decision on how to deal with it."
"I understand."
Li Shimin helped Yuan Tiangang up and encouraged him: "My dear, there are still many ways for me to rely on you. Bad people should expand their business in due course. You can go ahead and do it. I trust you, so there is no need to be afraid or timid."
Yuan Tiangang's eyes were red and he nodded heavily. Li Shimin patted his shoulder and allowed him to leave.
Eunuch Gao was watching from the side, his eyes almost rolling to the sky.
"High cadre,"
"Where are you?" Eunuch Gao quickly put away his expression and bowed: "What are your orders, Your Majesty?"
"Yin Hongzhi can't stay any longer."
Eunuch Gao was stunned and asked carefully: "Does Your Majesty mean to get rid of him? I will definitely handle it properly!"
Li Shimin frowned and said: "How come you are like Li Mu, shouting and killing at every turn? After all, he is the younger brother of Concubine Yin, and I am his brother-in-law. He has not killed anyone to rebel, so how can I kill him? I said I can't.
"Remain" means that I can't stay with King Yan, I can't stay in Chang'an. How come you don't even understand my thoughts, Gao Gan, you have become more and more incompetent in recent days."
"..." Eunuch Gao almost burst into tears, feeling extremely aggrieved. What kind of thing is this? How could it be so unfair? When things go wrong, instead of blaming him, he even encourages me. I have been working diligently all day long.
But it’s all wrong, can you please be reasonable?
Eunuch Gao didn't dare to say anything, he lowered his head and said nothing.
"You go to Zhongshu Province and give me a decree. I will appoint Yin Hongzhi as the governor of Qizhou. He will leave for his post tomorrow, and his family will accompany him. Before leaving, there is no need to go to the palace to say goodbye. After you take office, write a letter and come back.
Yes. In addition, I want to choose another chief historian for King Yan. I will go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and tell the auxiliary officer my intention, and let him personally select the right person. Select... five people and submit them to me, and I will make a decision.
.”
When Eunuch Gao heard this, he secretly thought that he was going to send Yin Hongzhi to his wife. However, Qizhou is not bad. Compared with Qiongzhou and other barren land, I don't know how much better it is. If you go there to be the governor, you can be regarded as a local emperor.
, it seems that His Majesty still has some concerns about Concubine Yin, otherwise he would not have made such a decision.
In this way, Concubine Yin has not fallen out of favor.
Eunuch Gao secretly kept this in his mind and planned to tell his godsons later. Let them all be alert and don't let anything happen and the world will turn cold. In this harem, there is no guarantee who will be favored for a while, whether it is a noble concubine or a talented person.
He is the master and cannot be offended easily.
…
At night, the phoenix seeks the phoenix.
They had just had a big meal, and Quan thought it was to celebrate Li Chongyi. When they learned that Li Chongyi had become the adopted son of Li Xiaogong, the prince of Hejian County, everyone was happy for him. Only Li Chongyi was unhappy. He didn't say anything after the meal.
After a few words, I kept drinking.
Li Mu was really happy. What happened today was a blessing in disguise and solved one of his worries. He drank a lot, smelled of alcohol, and his face turned red. Back in the room, Bai Qiaoqiao helped him undress and saw
The blood-soaked white cloth on his arm revealed the injury. No matter how hard Li Mu explained it and tried to make it as easy as possible, Bai Qiaoqiao still cried.
But this time, he didn't mention the problem of returning to Mayi. After crying, he went to find the golden sore medicine and helped Li Mu change the medicine.
Li Mu rested his head on Li Zhien's legs and secretly glanced at Bai Qiaoqiao, who was seriously changing her dressing. After holding it in for a while, he couldn't help but ask: "Madam, why didn't you mention that you wouldn't let me be an official today? Why, you don't feel bad.
Husband?"
Men are so mean. When people say they feel sorry for themselves, they feel nagging. Now they don’t say it anymore, and they lick their faces and ask questions.
Bai Qiaoqiao ignored him, changed the medicine, wrapped the wound again with a clean white cloth, and then replied: "I told you, will you listen? I am your wife, I can't nag you again and again.
, if you feel sorry for me, you will pay attention to it, if you don’t feel sorry for me, there is nothing I can do."
The words made Li Mu feel uncomfortable, and he reached out to take Bai Qiaoqiao's hand. Bai Qiaoqiao was worried that his movement would be too large and the wound would open, so she hurriedly came closer and handed him her hand.
"I will be careful not to worry you in the future." After saying that, Li Mu started to make jokes again, saying: "Actually, it's not as serious as you think. Look, isn't everyone happy? If it hadn't happened today, what would the big guy have done?
How can we have such an opportunity? Facts show that your husband and I, with my great fortune, can always be a blessing in disguise and turn danger into safety..." Suddenly Li Mu saw Li Zhien curling his lips, put his hand into her clothes, pinched a handful, and said:
"Why are you curling your lips? Don't you believe what the master says?"
Li Zhien blushed when he was touched, and said quickly: "Master is right, I just yawned."
"Bullying Zhien again." Bai Qiaoqiao lightly patted Li Mu and said angrily: "Zhien works from morning to night every day. I don't know how tired I am. I have to serve you at night. I don't know how painful it is to be bullied by you."
people."
"I don't know how to hurt people?" Li Mu glanced at Bai Qiaoqiao, and a smile that was very familiar to her appeared at the corner of his mouth. Bai Qiaoqiao saw him smiling like this, how could she not know what he was going to do, and blushed with embarrassment
, said: "Blow out the lamp first..."
"How can I see clearly after blowing out the lamp..." Li Mu turned over and climbed up. A vicious dog pounced on its food and pinned Bai Qiaoqiao underneath him. Bai Qiaoqiao was bullied by him and worried about his wounds.
Li Zhien said "slow down and be gentle", Li Zhien looked at the side with a smile, and stretched out his hand to touch it from time to time. Although it was not the time to participate, but after getting addicted to it, it is still okay...
Early next morning.
Li Mu came out of the room holding his waist, with black circles under his eyes. Pangda lay on his head and yawned repeatedly. He didn't sleep well yesterday. He kept making squeaking noises and didn't stop for half the night.
Who can withstand it?
Li Chongyi had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw Li Mu coming out, he said: "Brother, I thought about it all night yesterday. I still can't leave you. I will tell the king later."
"What are you talking about? You know nothing!" Li Mu interrupted Li Chongyi angrily and said: "A man keeps his word. You just agreed yesterday and you regretted it today. Are you still a human being? Besides, what can't you do without?
Mine, I am your father? Even if I am your father, the child will have to start a family when he grows up. Do you want to eat me for the rest of your life? There is no way! I have raised you for more than half a year, and I am already very interesting. I will eat you in the future.
Go to your father!"
The words were unpleasant, but Li Chongyi was not angry at all. He knew Li Mu's temper, but he didn't know his true words. He only said them deliberately to make him feel better.
The big man's eyes were red and he said: "Brother, if I am not by your side, what if someone intends to hurt you? You often cause trouble, and there must be many people who hate you. If they join forces, Xiao Jiu alone may not be able to do it."
Can't beat it"
"..." Li Mu looked at Li Chongyi with a look of resentment, and said angrily: "Is it because you have a foster father to back you up that you are acting arrogant? Do you say that about your eldest brother? Your eldest brother is such a person in your eyes.
?Who doesn’t know that Zhuluhou is famous for being kind and helpful to others, but how did he become a troublemaker in your mouth? Who have I provoked? They are the ones who provoked me!"
Li Chongyi fell silent. Seeing that he didn't refute, Li Mu spared him and said: "Go to the account in the front yard and take ten gold bars with you. It's not as good as at home outside. You are straight-tempered and don't know how to deal with things."
Relationship. When you meet someone who is in charge, it is always right to give some money. Don’t be reluctant to give it up. If you don’t have enough, you will come back to get it.”
"I won't bring it with me. Yesterday, the prince said that everything is available in the palace. People can just go there. I just packed a few clothes and brought my ax, but nothing else."
Li Mu said angrily: "You can take me with you if I ask you to. Why haven't you left the house yet and you won't listen to what I say?"
"I won't take it!"
"Okay!" Li Mu angrily pointed at Li Chongyi and shouted: "Xiaojiu, go load a cart of gold and silver utensils for me. I will visit the prince later. You can't be empty-handed!"
