Looking at Li Mu's smiling face, Mrs. Lu felt very depressed. This was an experience she had never had in her life. She was the eldest daughter of the Fan Yang Lu family, and she had lived a life of fine clothing and food since she was a child. Because she was a daughter.
, the elders in the family did not have any requirements or harsh treatment for her. The servants in the family were even more polite when they saw her, for fear of angering her and causing misfortune. After marrying Fang Xuanling, Fang Xuanling treated her with great courtesy.
, not only because of love, but more importantly because she cannot afford to offend the family behind her.
Even though Fan Yanglu's influence is now weakening, before Li Shimin ascended the throne, when Li Jiancheng was the crown prince, Fang Xuanling was a thorn in Li Jiancheng's side. The fundamental reason for his preservation was that he was Fan Yanglu's son-in-law!
Fang Xuanling was not a merciless person. He remembered this kindness, so he tolerated the Lu family in every possible way. Not to mention the two brothers Fang Yiai and Fang Yizhi, they did not dare to breathe when they saw the Lu family.
Coupled with the fact that he fought Li Shimin because of "jealousy", Lu's expansion was unstoppable.
This was the first time that he was embarrassed. And he was embarrassed in front of such a young person, which made Mr. Lu even more embarrassed.
Just when she was burning with anger and about to explode, Li Mu suddenly laughed.
"Why are you so serious! You are just joking!" Li Mu laughed and said, "What I just said was someone else's turn. If it had been someone else, he would have been killed. But Lu Shilang is different.
, who allowed him to have a good cousin? His good cousin is also married to a good prime minister, his indispensable right-hand man, a role model for ministers, and the prime minister!"
Mrs. Lu was confused, looked at Li Mu, and said, "What do you mean by this?"
"You still don't understand?" Li Mu came to Fang Xuanling and said, "Fang Xiang is very knowledgeable. When he learned about this matter, he didn't even investigate. He knew who was behind it. He also anticipated how things would develop.
To what extent, so the prime minister sent Fang Yiai to find me, saying that he wanted to work with me on a certain errand."
"Then something happened, and I used Fang Yiai's mouth to inform Lu Zhaoling about your relationship. I take Fang Xiang as a role model. Seeing that things have developed to this point, how can I not give Fang Xiang face? But His Majesty was furious, and I
What can I do? I tried my best to persuade him, but finally I begged your majesty to be lenient. I used my official reputation as a guarantee to spare the life of Minister Lu. Your majesty was so angry! He asked me, if I don't kill him this time as a warning to others, what will happen?
What if the Shandong nobles commit crimes again? I told Your Majesty that a Yasi can be set up to be responsible for inspections. This Yasi is under the command of Jin Yiwei and is called the Urban Management Brigade. Your son Fang Yiai will be the leader of the Sixth Rank Team.
"
Fang Xuanling was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground. He wondered in his heart, if I was really that powerful, I would be alive even if Kong Ming was alive. This is too mysterious. Suddenly he caught a glimpse of Mr. Lu looking over and quickly put on a secretive look.
, misaligned sight.
"While we were talking, today is the last day of the agreed three days. I agreed with Fang Yiai that within three days, the urban management brigade must be established. If it cannot be done, if His Majesty does not ask, he will also
That's it, if you ask, I have no choice but to go on a killing spree."
Li Mu sighed again and frowned: "As the old saying goes, if you have a hairless mouth, you will not be able to do things well! I am not saying in front of you that your son is not good, but he does not take the emperor's life seriously.
Three days passed immediately, and I couldn't even find him. Alas, I was forced to come to the house to make trouble. Madam, is Fang Yiai at home? If not, do you know where he is?
"Can he do it? Just tell me something. If it really doesn't work, I'll rush back to His Majesty to report back. I'll send out the imperial army as soon as possible to arrest people and behead them!"
Mrs. Lu was knocked down by Li Mu's attack, and her brain was basically in a state of turmoil. She looked at Fang Xuanling blankly and asked: "Master, is this true? Why didn't you tell me about it?
Pass?"
Li Mu quickly winked at Fang Xuanling. Fang Xuanling was also a cunning person. He nodded knowingly, coughed lightly and said, "Madam, don't I know your temper? I'm afraid you'll get angry in a hurry, and I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep.
, then I discussed it with my son to nip it in the bud and try to protect your family as much as possible. Who knew you... Well, it’s nothing to me, I just love him and I feel a little wronged!"
Mrs. Lu also felt guilty and murmured: "This child is the same, why didn't he say anything?"
Fang Xuanling said at the right time: "That child is filial, how dare he disobey you!"
Li Mu was listening next to him, and he had already guessed that they were close to each other, but he still pretended not to know anything, and said confusedly: "What do you two mean by what you said? Where is Fang Yiai now? What is going on?
, you have to tell me, is Your Majesty still waiting for me? If the urban management team cannot inspect tomorrow, Minister Lu's life will be in danger. Human life is at stake, so we can't neglect it!"
Mrs. Lu hurriedly said: "Don't be surprised by Hou Lu. The old woman has little knowledge and thought, oh, forget it. I'll call my beloved to come out right now. It's just my cousin's life that I still ask Lord Hou to protect!"
"This..." Li Muwei said, "I dare not deceive you. Minister Lu has been hated by His Majesty. Even if he escapes this time, it will be hard to predict the future. If you want to be safe, in my humble opinion, you should resign and return home."
"Okay, otherwise" Li Mu didn't finish his words, he smiled again and said: "I'm just a suggestion, you don't need to take it too seriously. After all, my relationship with the Shandong nobles is not good. If my good intentions are regarded as having other purposes, I will
But it's a bit unfair. I'm doing my thing, and you want your ideas, but I've made it clear about the hidden dangers. If something happens in the future, don't say it's unforeseen."
Madam Lu pursed her lips, feeling a little powerless, and sighed, "I understand, thank you so much, Marquis Zhulu."
"You're welcome, please call Fang Yiai out quickly. The matter is urgent and we cannot afford to neglect it."
Mrs. Lu nodded, turned around and walked out of the lobby and returned to the back house. Fang Xuanling followed a few steps and watched Mrs. Lu go away at the door. She turned back to look at Li Mu and was silent for a long time. Li Mu drank tea leisurely and saw Fang Xuanling looking at him blankly.
Looking at himself, he couldn't help but smile, put down the tea cup, and said: "Why does the prime minister look at me like this?"
"You kid...are what you said just now true or false? Is Your Majesty really angry?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "Of course they are all lies. Didn't you ask me to make up lies to deceive your wife? Did you forget what you just said?"
"Is it really all a lie?"
Li Mu narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm used to talking nonsense. Truth and lies are all that matters. You have to believe in my character. I tell the truth more often than I tell lies.
"
Fang Xuanling pursed her lips and said nothing, but suddenly she also smiled and said: "I'm old, I'm old! Future generations are afraid of my decline!"
After saying that, the two of them laughed together, and after laughing, they drank tea together, seeming to have a tacit understanding.
…
After coming out of Liang Guogong's mansion, Fang Yiai carried a baggage, which contained a change of new clothes. After walking out of the gate, Fang Yiai finally couldn't help it and said, "Thank you very much."
Li Mu looked back and said, "Thank you for what?"
"My mother... I'm sorry."
Li Mu laughed: "What's the matter? It's normal for women to have more ideas. Have you met my father-in-law? He used to be ok, that's all, he stopped talking. Anyway, I rescued you this time
, just do your job well. I haven’t asked you yet, how are you recruiting people? Don’t fail to recruit anyone, I can’t afford to embarrass anyone.”
"We have almost found everyone. My usual playmates," Fang Yiai glanced at Li Siwen, lowered her voice and said, "Li Siwen also knows them all, they are all acquaintances."
Li Siwen was stunned for a moment, then understood and said angrily: "Brother, I know who these people are. They are all my enemies. When I was in Chang'an, they all beat me!"
Before Li Mu could speak, Dugu Jiu took over the words and said coldly: "You still made such a loud noise after being beaten. If I were you, I wouldn't mention it. It's shameless!"
"Why didn't I mention it?" Li Siwen said confidently: "At that time, I was alone and fighting with a group of them. How could I not have been beaten? If I had my elder brother at that time, and the elder brother would take the big guy, and you
, the four of us go together, they are the ones who will get beaten!"
Dugujiu rolled his eyes and said, "I won't fight with you kids!"
"Hey, who are you calling the kid? I'm one year older than you!"
Fang Yiai quickly pulled Li Siwen and said, "Keep your voice down, you can't beat him, don't you know?"
"I, I, I..." Li Siwen slurred his mouth a few times, but closed it wisely. He really couldn't beat him. No matter how tough his mouth was, he was no match for him.
"Okay, what are you arguing about?" Li Mu got on his horse and said, "Well, Xiao Ai, go and call everyone and ask them to come to Jingdong. I want to brainwash, uh... convey the spirit,
By the way, I’ll treat you all to a meal. After joining the Jin Yiwei, we will all be Paoze. Forget about the past festivals. If anyone messes around again in the future, they will be engaged in military law. Do you understand?"
Fang Yiai nodded and said, "I understand."
"Let's go!"
Li Mu shouted, and the three of them turned their horses and headed back to Jingdong. Fang Yiai, on the other hand, carried his baggage and went to various houses to inform.
…
Li Mu took Li Siwen and Dugujiu back to Jingdongji. He felt a little strange being so far away. Although Jingdongji is now a little more popular than before, compared to the east and west cities, there are still relatively few people. But
What's going on today? The gate is blocked by large and small vehicles. Where did the caravan come from?
"?"
When he got closer, Li Siwen suddenly made a strange noise. When he got closer again, Li Siwen suddenly laughed, and he speeded up and moved closer.
Li Mu and Dugujiu quickly followed, and Li Mu shouted: "What's going on? Do you know these people?"
"Brother, this is Dingxiang's caravan! They are all my people! Come quickly and show you the gift I have prepared for you!"
