Li Shimin looked at the memorial in his hand, his eyes glazed over, obviously distracted. Changsun Wuji was on his left side reading the memorial for him. The New Year was about to pass, and everything had returned to normal.
"His Majesty."
Changsun Wuji called softly, and Li Shimin recovered from his dazed state, put down the memorial in his hand, rubbed his swollen temples, and said, "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, are you worried about Li Mu?"
Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said: "I can't hide anything from you, it's true." He handed the memorial in his hand to Changsun Wuji and said: "Look at this memorial, it is so smooth that there is no fault in it. If you don't look at the name, you can guess
Was it written by Li Mu?"
Changsun Wuji read it over, shook his head and said: "In the past, when Li Mu's calligraphy was ugly, he could recognize it at a glance, but now his calligraphy is learned from Ouyang Xun, and there are countless people in the court who imitate Ouyang Xun's calligraphy. It's really
I can’t see it.”
"I'm not talking about his name with you, I'm talking about his temperament." Li Shimin said worriedly: "I have been thinking in the past few days that Li Mu, a child, can have thoughts that ordinary people would not expect, which is directly related to his temperament.
It has something to do with it. When he came to me, I restrained him again and again, so that he could not be free and free. Just say this word. His handwriting used to be ugly. I often said it to him, but now he has written it well. Now let’s talk about this memorial.
In the past, his memorials had no structure. Just like talking and chatting in ordinary times, whatever comes to mind is what comes to mind. When I read it, it seems as if he is vividly alive in front of me. But now, the structure of his memorials is moderate. What should be said is said, and what should not be said.
There is not a word in it, and it is exactly the same as the civil and military memorials of the DPRK and China. It makes me read it in vain..."
Changsun Wuji interrupted: "Your Majesty, isn't this a good thing?"
"Is this a good thing?" Li Shimin asked back and said with a wry smile: "Assistant machine, I think it may not be a good thing. Li Mu is not an ordinary person, and if I restrain him with ordinary people's methods, it will only make him alienate from me. What happened last time
I have thought about the matter for a long time. Li Mu is right, I did go too far. Just because he can make money and does not care about money, I transferred the pressure that should have been borne by me and the court to him. His
Money is regarded as my money. As everyone knows, no one else would be able to do what Li Mu is doing now."
"Not only did I not remember his good qualities, but I even went overboard... When did I become such a person? How could I become such a person!"
Li Shimin sighed repeatedly, feeling lost. He didn't know that Changsun Wuji was already in a state of turmoil.
Li Mu! Li Mu!
What magic power does this child have that can actually make Li Shimin reflect on his own mistakes? You know, Li Shimin is the emperor, and Li Mu is just a minister! Between the emperor and his ministers, it is always the king who is right and the minister is wrong, because if the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die! This
It's Tsunasa! This is the truth! These are the rules!
And Li Shimin actually reflected on himself because of Li Mu's attitude. What does this mean? It means that Li Mu has far surpassed the status of a minister in Li Shimin's heart. This kind of favor and honor, even for him, is the first person in the Conglong Dynasty.
, as the uncle of the country, the eldest grandson Wuji is incomparable!
Has this child grown to such a terrifying level?
The shock in Changsun Wuji's heart could not be expressed in words, so he had no choice but to remain silent. Seeing his appearance, Li Shimin thought he had some scruples and said with a smile: "Assistant machine, if you have anything to say, just say it. Between you and me, do you still need to worry?"
?”
"Ah," Changsun Wuji was a little distracted, but when Li Shimin asked, he had to answer. He thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, it's hard for me to talk about this. In my heart, the relationship between monarch and minister is always greater than personal emotions.
, In the eyes of the minister, no matter whether Li Mu has any dissatisfaction, he is a minister and cannot complain to the king. This violates etiquette."
Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said: "That's true, but auxiliary machine, you haven't seen it through yet."
"What didn't I see through?"
"Li Mu, this kid, is different from ordinary people. Ordinary people strive for fame and fortune, and want to express their ambitions. I may reward or give them what they need. But as for Li Mu, if I hadn't forced him, what would he have done?
With his lazy temper, would he want to be an official? With his ability, if he went into business, who would be his opponent? Maybe it was just as he said, he went back to Dingxiang to farm. Now I need him, and he
He has nothing to ask for from me, he is willing to share my worries, not for fame and fortune, but for love."
"And what I did hurt this relationship. If I completely hurt his heart, given his temper, I'm afraid he won't do anything for me."
Changsun Wuji frowned and said: "Your Majesty, is it possible that the person leading the land is a royal minister? Your Majesty summons him, how dare he refuse to obey?"
Li Shimin shook his head and said: "In the past and present, which emperor has gained his loyalty through coercion? I can detain him in the court, but if he doesn't contribute, what else can I do?" Li Shimin sighed and said, "I am also irritable.
, I don’t know whether it’s luck or misfortune. God has given me a great talent, but I also have an irritating temper. I am the emperor, and I have to obey him. It’s really suffocating.”
Changsun Wuji listened for a long time and finally got a taste of it and said, "What will your Majesty do?"
"I heard that he wanted to take a concubine in the Lantern Festival, but today he is thirteen, and he has not informed me. I think he is still angry. That's all, I can't go and apologize to him, so I gave it to him.
A fifth-grade royal decree for my concubine should be regarded as a congratulatory gift."
Changsun Wuji was shocked and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible! The decree can only be given to the official's wife and biological mother. This is a ritual system. Your Majesty's move may arouse criticism from the government and the public, and also damage your reputation.
!”
Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "I have never thought about it, but since Li Mu is an extraordinary person, I also need to do extraordinary things. If the government and the public criticize me, I will ask them who has Li Mu's talent, and I will treat them the same.
If not, then there is nothing to dispute."
Changsun Wuji was about to say something else, but was interrupted by Li Shimin: "My decision has been made. The imperial edict has been sent to me. There is absolutely no reason to change it."
When Changsun Wuji heard this, he realized that all the imperial edicts and documents had been sent out, so there was no point arguing about it and he was just being a bad guy. He sighed and stopped talking.
…
"... She is well versed in internal rules, and is a matchmaker for a famous family. She is well versed in disciplines, and is able to comply with the standards of Huang Huang. Her etiquette is pure and complete, and she can overcome the trend of Zhang Ping Zao. With Qin's kindness, she is bestowed with the title of Lady of the Fifth Grade."
Eunuch Gao handed the imperial edict document to the confused Li Zhien, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the second wife, our family has lived for so long, and we have never seen a concubine also receive an imperial edict. This shows how much your majesty shows your kindness to Zhuluhou.
"
"Thank you so much, father-in-law." Seeing that Li Zhien was confused, Bai Qiaoqiao took over the conversation and said, "father-in-law is tired. Please sit down in the lobby and have a sip of tea."
"Then it's better to be respectful."
Before the word "obey life" was uttered, a cold voice suddenly interrupted: "Madam, Eunuch Gao is very busy, I'm afraid he doesn't have time to drink tea."
Everyone looked for the name and saw that it was Li Mu who had returned home. His face was drooping, as if someone owed him money.
When Eunuch Gao saw Li Mu, he quickly smiled and said, "Master Hou is still angry?"
"How dare you, I'm afraid you'll point me down." Li Mu snorted and said, "Eunuch Gao, if you don't mention this, I will mention it too. I think I'm not unkind to Eunuch Gao, whether it's money or money.
I am worthy of my father-in-law both in face and in matters, but your behavior is really chilling. You bullied me, who doesn’t know martial arts, because of your martial arts skills, and made me walk around with a crooked mouth and eyes. I lost it.
How much dignity do I have? Is this something I can expose casually?"
Eunuch Gao gave a wry smile and said: "Master Marquis, what do you think I can do? With His Majesty on one end and you on the other, I have to listen to Your Majesty no matter what, right? If you can't be angry, then you can also point me and let me
With a crooked mouth and slanted eyes, you walk around in a swagger, what do you think?"
"I don't know kung fu."
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"What should we do..." Li Mu raised his eyebrows and said, "If not, you promise me something that will make my heart happy."
Eunuch Gao only asked Li Mu to turn over this article and hurriedly said: "Master Marquis, please tell me, as long as I can do it, I can do anything."
Li Mu looked serious, approached Eunuch Gao, and said, "Seriously?"
"Um!"
"Okay! Then I'll say it!" Li Mu took a deep breath and said, "Let little Eunuch Chen go to the East Factory to be the factory boss!"
"Ah?" Eunuch Gao thought he heard it wrong. He thought it was an extremely difficult thing to do when Li Mu said it so seriously. He never expected it to be such a simple thing. Little Eunuch Chen is his boss.
The relationship with his son is much closer than that of Li Mu, and just a few days ago, young Eunuch Chen went to visit him in the palace and told him about this matter tactfully, and he agreed. In other words, this is not a big deal at all.
Son.
What kind of number is this? Eunuch Gao was a little confused.
"Are you scared?" Li Mu looked at Eunuch Gao's dumbfounded look, suddenly laughed, and said, "You really think I'm angry? Ha, I, Li Mu, am not a stingy person. We have a close friendship.
Do you want to break up with you over this little thing? It's just that you mentioned little Eunuch Chen to me, and I agreed. I know you have many godsons, but only little Eunuch Chen has a good relationship with me.
You have to sell your face to me!"
Eunuch Gao let out a long breath and said: "Oh, my Lord Marquis, you have scared our family to death. In the past few days, our family has been thinking, how can the Lord Marquis care about me, who has no eggs? Alas,
I hope the Marquis will forgive me for offending me. This matter is not a big deal. Just one word from the Marquis and it will be settled, so that the little bastard will be given the advantage."
"Come on, come on!" Li Mu raised his hand and ordered: "Xiao Zhu, go get some bottles of perfume for your father-in-law."
"How can this be so embarrassing?"
"It doesn't matter, my father-in-law can use it." Li Mu took the perfume Xiaozhu brought and stuffed it into Eunuch Gao's hand, saying: "Go back and thank Your Majesty for me. Just tell me what I said. Your Majesty treats Li Mu kindly, and Li Mu has no mercy."
I think the only way to repay it is to get rid of my heart and brains. It was Li Mu before, so please don't take it to heart. This time, I didn't take it seriously, so I didn't treat him. However, I still accepted the gift. Your Majesty must have it.
No gift is too much. Father-in-law, don’t forget that we are good friends. When you get married in the future, I will follow you back and I will not take advantage of you."
The corners of Eunuch Gao's mouth twitched, and he tried not to explode, and nodded with a grimace. Don't say anything else, let's spend money and eliminate disasters!
