At the gate of the palace, Li Mu stared at one of Eunuch Gao's godsons, with an unkind look on his face. This little eunuch was also unlucky. Today it happened to be his turn to serve at the gate of Tai Chi Palace. Li Shimin opened his golden mouth and ordered Zhuluhou to be driven out of the palace gate.
When Eunuch Gao heard this, he looked up at the sky. As his godson, he showed his usefulness at this time. The matter of beating Li Mu fell on him.
But does he dare to fight?
Who is this man? The majestic Zhuluhou! Even the uncle and his servants dare not provoke him easily, let alone a little eunuch? But the emperor's order cannot be violated. Li Shimin made it clear that he wants to drive Li Mu out of the palace. What should he do?
?
If you beat him, you can't afford to provoke him. If you don't beat him, you will violate the imperial edict and it will be a direct crime of death. In desperation, he had no choice but to lead the guards and follow Li Mu with a royal staff. For those who didn't know, he thought he was escorting Li Mu out of the palace.
.
When they arrived at the palace gate, they saw that Li Mu was about to walk out. If he didn't fight, it would be too late. The little eunuch had no choice but to bite the bullet and make a request in a low voice. As expected, he was threatened by Li Mu.
The little eunuch's voice was trembling and he didn't dare to look up at Li Mu: "Master Marquis, please don't embarrass me, just give me a light slap. If Master Marquis is angry, will you spank me ten times later?"
"Do you think this prince is like some stupid king who beats people at every turn?" Li Mu said, grabbed the imperial staff and hit him on the forehead, then threw the imperial staff on the ground and said: "Get out of here."
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, thank you Lord Marquis!" The little eunuch, as if he had received an amnesty, picked up his staff and ran away. He was afraid that if he stayed a little longer, he would be caught and beaten by Li Mu.
"As if I am a wicked person!" Li Mu looked up to the sky and sighed: "... Who can tell me the pain in my heart? For ~ the persecution of life... tears fell down my belly~ Is this fate, destined to live in this mortal world all my life?
…”
Holding back his tears, Li Mu climbed into the carriage and lay on the bed inside the carriage, sighing and feeling sorry for himself.
Dugujiu flicked his whip and the carriage began to move slowly. Hearing his muttering, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother, I saw that you were in good spirits when you came here. Why are you acting like this now, making you unhappy with His Majesty?"
"He is a foolish king! His loyal words are offensive to his ears, and he cannot listen to others at all!"
Dugujiu was stunned and thought to himself, Your Majesty can't listen to people. Could it be that the civil and military officials in the dynasty are not human beings? The eldest brother is indeed the eldest brother. Recently, his level of swearing has improved a lot!
"What happened?"
"That's not it..." Li Mu told the whole story like he was pouring beans into a bamboo tube. Dugujiu had been following him all day long, so he already knew a lot. But he didn't take it to heart. After hearing what Li Mu said,
Only then did things get smoothed out.
He is Li Mu's brother, so he naturally trusts him very much. Moreover, he is a young master and knows nothing about farming. He has no idea what crops can be produced per mu. He just believes what Li Mu says it is. He has no common sense.
, judging only from the quantity.
Hearing that Li Mu said that Li Shimin actually gave up crops with higher yields and didn't even want to try them, he was a little angry. He didn't accept good advice. This is not a fool!
"Brother, you are right. Since His Majesty doesn't allow it, let's do it ourselves. I will go home later and tell my father. A small barbarian country like Zhenla Funan does not need a court army. I, the Dugu clan, have thousands
He is young and strong enough to be leveled."
"You don't need to worry about it, I have my own way." Li Mu rejected Dugu Jiu's proposal, not to mention whether his father Dugu Xiude would agree to do this. Even if he was willing, Li Mu couldn't owe such a big favor.
.This is not a small matter. After all, the opposite side is also a country. No matter how weak the combat power is, it may be difficult to win with just the strength of one clan.
I still have to think of some way, and I will try to figure it out slowly... Suddenly an idea came to my mind, and Li Mu laughed unkindly.
…
Zhao Guogong Mansion.
Changsun Wuji went out to do some errands. He had just returned to the house. When he entered the house, he asked the steward next to him where Changsun Chong was. When the steward heard this, he smiled helplessly and said, "I tell you, the prince is not in the house."
"Not in the mansion?" Changsun Wuji frowned, and immediately thought of something, and asked, "Did he go to Li Mu's place?"
The housekeeper shook his head and said: "No, the prince went out as soon as you left the house early in the morning. He did not take a car or ride a horse, but ran out of the city. I sent someone to follow the prince, and then I learned that he had
Returned to the valley, in... in..."
Changsun Wuji looked unkind and said, "What is he going to do?!"
"Logging wood, making mortise and tenon joints...it's said that the construction period is too late, so we have to hurry up."
"This bastard!" Changsun Wuji turned around and walked out, got on the carriage again, and said: "Go, get out of the city!"
As soon as the carriage started to move, Changsun Wuji said again: "Stop, turn around, and go to Jingdong Market. I'll go find Li Mu to reason with you!"
The groom had no choice but to turn around and rush to Jingdong Market.
Along with him, there was Wang. As if they had agreed, Wang Pu also did the same thing as Changsun Chong. Wang came to Wang Pu's house to look for him, but he missed him and asked the housekeeper. The housekeeper said that he had gone out.
, but after waiting all morning, Wang Pu could not come back. After repeated questioning, the housekeeper told the truth. It turned out that Wang Pu also went to the valley, but the work he did was different from Chang Sun Chong. Chang Sun Chong was a member of the carpentry team.
', and Wang Pu is from the 'civil construction group'. He doesn't do mortises and tenons, but digs holes.
Wang and Wang Pu were brothers who were nearly forty years apart. In his eyes, Wang Pu was like a son. How could he let his old brother go to work as a craftsman? He was so anxious that he couldn't care less.

In comparison, the Duke's Mansion of Ju State was much quieter, because Tang Guan had not left the room since he came back. He had been dictating "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" taught by Li Mu, and at the same time summarizing the plot of "A Dream of Red Mansions". He planned to combine these two
The story was divided into chapters and published on the "Datang Daily" for Li Mu. At the same time, he was also preparing a plan, which was to teach the "newspaper readers" in Chang'an City to tell more about these two stories.
He was originally the editor of "Datang Daily" and was the first person to accept Li Mu's theory of "power of public opinion". He believed that as long as it was done well, it would be a good thing. As for what effect it would have, he didn't know, but
Good things are certain.
Of course, Wang Pu and Changsun Chong were not the only ones who returned to work in the valley. There were many others, but their fathers or elders did not have the courage to go to Li Mu to reason.
…
When Li Mu returned home, he saw two carriages parked at the door. He recognized both carriages, sighed, and climbed out of the carriage with a mumble.
"I still wonder why my eyelids keep twitching. It turns out it's you two who have arrived. What do you want from me? I'm at my lowest point now. Alas, I don't want to do it anymore. In this dynasty, there is a faint king and treacherous ministers. A good man has no ambition.
Shi Zhan, how pitiful and pitiful!"
Li Mu sat down in the chair and muttered to himself before the two of them could speak. He didn't even sit up, and slid down the back of the chair, showing a decadent and dead look on his face.
When the two of them heard this, they frowned. "Faint king and traitorous minister"? These four words seemed to include all the civil and military officials of the court and His Majesty. This is what a fool like Li Mu dared to say. As important officials of the imperial court, they
Changsun Wuji is Li Shimin's brother-in-law, so it's okay if he doesn't hear it. How can he tolerate it if he hears it? His face suddenly darkened and he said: "Li Mu, what are you talking about? Your Majesty is a rare wise king and holy master.
, you say he is a foolish king? Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will know the crime that punishes you?"
Li Mu turned his head lazily, glanced at Changsun Wuji, and said: "My good uncle, here are the three of us. If word gets out, it will be what you two said. Just say it, I'm not afraid, anyway, I
Let Your Majesty leave the palace. Are you afraid of getting beaten again? Tell me, traitors like to complain behind their backs, I understand, it doesn't matter."
"Who do you think is the traitor, Li Mu, you are so presumptuous!"
"Aiya, what are you shouting for?" Li Mu said nonchalantly: "I'm not afraid of you, Your Majesty, why should I be afraid of you? Treacherous minister, traitorous minister, traitorous minister, I'm so angry today, I don't care! I can't afford to offend you, but if you
If you dare to bully me, I will bully your son, whoever is afraid of whom!"
"You!" Changsun Wuji felt sad when he thought of his son's current appearance. A good fat boy, after being in Li Mu's hands for less than a month, he seemed to have been reborn and lost dozens of kilograms! This is incredible!
What a sin you have suffered!
Changsun Wuji felt sad and said angrily: "Just don't mention my son. But mention him and I'm about to say something! What did you do to my son? Look at him now. He looks like a different person. He's lost weight."
Putting aside the dozens of kilograms, you are so cruel. The New Year is approaching and all the government offices are on holiday. You still want him to go to the valley to do hard work for you? He is not a carpenter, he is my son! Are you going too far?
A little more!"
Mr. Wang is very cunning. He saw that Sun Wuji had said it first, so he didn't say a word. Li Mu's face was not kind today. It was better not to provoke him or not. It was best to wait and see. Anyway, it was the same problem.
"Ha!" Li Mu glanced sideways at Changsun Wuji and said, "What if he was a carpenter? At least he can work faster! I'm not telling you, uncle Guo, this precious son of yours is very stupid.
! Let’s just talk about running. He had to run back and forth all the time, and he could barely finish it on time. It’s better now. In the first few days, he just walked, not running. He was terribly clumsy! I’ll tell you the truth.
, the craftsmen I sent to teach them carpentry don’t like to teach your son, he learns too slowly!”
"Has he gone to work in the valley? Hehe, he still has a lot of heart. Diligence can make up for clumsiness. He learns slower than others. If he doesn't work harder, he will be a waste."
"Li Mu!" Changsun Wuji was furious. He suddenly stood up, pointed at the tip of Li Mu's nose and said, "Don't be too presumptuous! Changsun Chong is my son, how can I allow you to insult me wantonly?"
Li Mu also stood up, took a deep breath, and shouted in a voice several times louder than Changsun Wuji: "He is still my disciple! I am the master he kowtows to. What happened to me when I scolded him? I also beat him."
Where is he! Why are you shouting at me? I begged him to become my teacher? If I remember correctly, it was you who led him to rely on me! Why did you tell me this now?!"
