Li Mu is a person who is very prone to whims, and when he thinks of something, he cannot wait and must do it immediately. At the same time, he is also a person who is very easy to get involved. As long as he enters the state, it is normal to forget about food and sleep.
In order to resolve the drama "The Injustice of Dou E", Li Mu has not been home for three days. On the first day, the wives and concubines at home could hold their own, but during the next day, Bai Qiaoqiao came to "deliver food". At night,
It was Li Zhien who came to bed. The two of them seemed to have reached a tacit agreement. They worked day and night and would never let Li Mu have a day off and give others an opportunity.
Of course Li Mu knew what his wife and concubines were thinking, but he didn't care. He was not afraid of the shadows. He didn't want anything to happen to Jin Chen. He couldn't do things halfway. Before arranging this play, he thought he would have two or three days to do it.
That's about it. Because when he was in college, the drama club rehearsed the excerpts from "Thunderstorm" for only three days. But when he actually did it, Li Mu realized that it was far from as simple as imagined. Drama is of great significance to this era.
For me, it was a completely new thing. In his previous life, even if the students had never acted, they had all watched TV dramas and could make associations in their minds. But now, he had to teach them bit by bit.
And in order to perform the trick perfectly, a lot of props, costumes, scenery, etc. have to be made. Even if Li Mu has money and people, the problem is that he can’t find experienced people with money. Even making props and scenery, Li Mu has to
He drew the drawings himself, and he even had to do some details himself, so the progress was even slower.
"If this continues, I don't know if I can perform in time for the Lantern Festival..."
Li Mu was lying on a folding director's chair that he had made while making props, thinking a little sadly. Li Zhien was also sitting on a horse next to him, looking at his frown, and asked softly: "Master, are you worried?"
What?"
Li Muchun said nonsense: "I was thinking, why did I agree to get married to Siwen in one day? How inappropriate is this? We can't arrange our time to get married in one day. We can't get married in one morning and one afternoon, right?
,"
"Then let him wait."
Li Mu turned around and said with a smile: "Look at you, my sister-in-law. Although Siwen is my younger brother, his background is not low. And the other party is also a prince. If two princes get married, I will let them change their lives.
Change the date? Besides, I received a letter from my adoptive father yesterday. He has made a petition to His Majesty. Your Majesty has allowed him to come back to arrange Siwen's marriage. He will arrive in Chang'an in three days. This matter will never be changed.
"
"Then..." Li Zhien muttered: "We can't delay our affairs because of his affairs. Master, am I so unimportant in your heart?"
"How can you not be important?" Li Mu smiled and said, "Why don't we advance it a day?"
"I don't want it." Li Zhien said unhappily: "The Lantern Festival is so easy to remember and so festive. I just want to get married on the Lantern Festival."
Li Mu thought for a while and said: "That's fine, it's up to you. But have you thought about how to do it? You said that you want me to marry the matchmaker, but you also said that it shouldn't be too lively and don't exceed my wife. So what on earth are you going to do?
?Should we have a big banquet, or just have a meal with the family? Tell me, how?"
"Well..." Li Zhien has actually thought about it a lot, but many things are a bit contradictory. Of course she knows that with Li Mu's current power, if he gets married again, it will definitely cause a sensation in the entire Chang'an City. And although she is called the Second Lady, in fact,
Her title was that of a concubine. If she made too much noise, she would be criticized, and the public would think that she was arrogant and bullying the main wife. In this era, this "crime" was not a light one.
But she would be a little unwilling to have a meal with her family just like nothing else. After all, for her, this is the only time she gets married in her life. Who doesn't want to leave some special memories?
Therefore, although I thought about it a lot, it was all rejected in the end. So far, the preparations for the wedding have only been to make a set of wedding clothes and a set of red forged bedding.
"Master," Li Zhien looked up at Li Mu languidly and said, "Actually, I don't know what to do. Otherwise, it's up to you to make the decision."
"Should I decide?" Li Mu frowned and said, "So you said you wanted to prepare it yourself, so I didn't think about it. Suddenly you asked me to decide, this..." Li Mu didn't rush to give the answer. After thinking for a while, suddenly a thought came into his mind.
Inspired, he said: "Okay, I'll make the order. Just prepare the clothes and jewelry you want to wear that day and wait for them to look nice."
"Master, you are the best." Li Zhien hugged Li Mu's arm and shook it sweetly. Li Mu had no choice but to smile bitterly. It was not good to fall in love with a girl younger than him. There were too many things to consider.
On the other hand, if the person next to her at this time was Wang Ou, she would have already decided these things. This is the difference between Yu Jie and Loli. One can save worry, while the other cannot save worry at all.
…
Today is the eighth day of the lunar month, the first day of the new year.
Li Shimin took out the "petition" of the Ashina brothers and asked Eunuch Gao to read it in front of all the civil and military officials. Then he announced that he had agreed to their request and sealed them without the presence of the parties involved.
General Zhonglang sent him to Cheng Yaojin's command.
Anyone with a discerning eye would know what is going on at a glance. However, no one from any force in the court stood up to expose it. No one would do such a stupid thing to make the emperor unhappy because of a Turk.
.On external matters, the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty still had a very tacit understanding.
A worrying matter was solved, which made Li Shimin feel good. Taking advantage of the good atmosphere in the court, Li Shimin took advantage of the victory and brought up another matter, how to assist the Turkic tribes.
He originally thought that although this matter was a matter of spending money, Liu Bu would always give some constructive suggestions for the sake of him as the emperor. But he ignored one thing. This year's imperial distribution system has changed.
It became a budget system. The six departments all focused on themselves. It was okay to talk about things, but not about money. When Li Shimin asked for money, no one in the six departments dared to speak up, for fear that Li Shimin's next sentence would be to ask for money.
The atmosphere was very awkward for a time.
Li Shimin's face became a little unbearable. He slapped the armrest of the dragon chair and said angrily: "If I hadn't been blind, I would have thought that I was the only one left in the court to vent my anger! Why are you all mute?
Are you talking? Speak! I ask you, what should you do if the life of the Turkic tribes is difficult now and the people have no food to eat? No one can stand up and give me some advice?"
Li Shimin shifted his gaze to Wei Zheng and said, "Wei Zheng, aren't you the one who usually talks the most? Why are you speechless again? Tell me what to do!"
When Wei Zheng's name was called, he had no choice but to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, I am the imperial censor. This matter of the finances of the imperial court is not my responsibility. Logically speaking, this is a matter of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
If you are not good at this, you dare not talk nonsense."
Li Shimin was so angry that he laughed back and said: "Okay, you are talking about the Ministry of Civil Affairs, right? Come on, Tang Jian, tell me what to do. My imperial censor said that this is a matter of the Ministry of Civil Affairs!"
Tang Jian stood up, holding the wat board high, and said: "Your Majesty, this is indeed a matter of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and I dare not shirk it. But there is a section that I have to say first. In previous years, this was a matter of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, because the Ministry of Civil Affairs was in charge
Taxation. But this year, the budget has been drawn up in advance. The Ministry of Civil Affairs has only a small amount of money, and there is no surplus. If your Majesty asks the minister, I have only one idea, to reduce the budget of each ministry. There is no other way."
"no!"
"Absolutely not. There are two imperial examinations this year. The funding for the Ministry of Rites is already insufficient. Cutting it down is absolutely necessary!"
"Your Majesty, the staff is also stretched thin!"
“The Ministry of Punishment doesn’t have any money left!”
“The Ministry of Industry’s budget is already at its lowest!”
"The Ministry of War has no money!"
This sentence was like poking a hornet's nest. The six ministers started shouting as if they were at the vegetable market. Li Shimin's head swelled twice in an instant. He regretted agreeing to Li Mu's proposal. He had known that the implementation of the budget system would cause problems.
I can't agree with this scene.
?Budget system, Li Mu?
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and finally found the root cause. Yes, whoever caused the incident must be responsible!
Find him!
Li Shimin opened his mouth and was about to speak, but suddenly closed it again.
No, we can't look for him anymore. Li Mu has already agreed to take on the vacancies in the Ministry of War. This is already a big sum. If we look for him again, we really won't be able to open our mouths.
Li Shimin sighed and closed his mouth. But the moment he opened his mouth had already been noticed by those who were interested.
Changsun Wuji is such a caring person. He grew up with Li Shimin and helped Li Shimin ascend to the throne of God. It can be said that Li Shimin farted. He could tell what he had eaten by smelling it. Li Shimin just opened his mouth, and he looked
Just by the shape of his mouth, you know who he is going to say.
Changsun Wuji rolled his eyes, went out to start the performance, and said: "Your Majesty, when it comes to the ability to make money, I think that all the civil and military officials in the entire dynasty are inferior to Zhuluhou. Why don't Your Majesty announce that Zhuluhou is coming and see if he has any good qualities?"
way."
"This..." Li Shimin was a little embarrassed. He was really embarrassed to speak.
At this time, popularity is reflected. If the popularity is good and someone helps to cover it up, it will be over. But unfortunately, Li Mu usually offends too many people. Many people wish that he was in trouble and gloated about his misfortune.
Shifting the blame, seeing Li Shimin hesitate, many people immediately stood up, including those from the six departments.
"Uncle Guo is right. Everyone says that Zhuluhou is the God of Wealth who descended to earth and can turn decay into magic. He must have a way to do this!"
"Who doesn't know that Hou Zhulu will make a fortune every day? If Hou Zhulu is willing to help, this matter will be solved."
"Your Majesty, Marquis Zhulu spent ten thousand taels of gold to propose marriage to his sworn brother. If this money was used to relieve the people, I don't know how many people could be saved. Please stop Marquis Zhulu from his extravagant desires and let him return to the right path!"
If only a few people said it, Li Shimin might not be swayed. But most of the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty said so, and Li Shimin became thick-skinned. He immediately sent an edict to the Deer Marquis Li Mu for an audience.
