"I want to give the number one scholar to Ma Zhou!" Li Mu said in an understatement, as if he was saying, 'I'm going to throw money away again.'
Now that I am the number one scholar, Duke Wei does not need to worship me as his teacher. However, since I was given the opportunity to leave, I cannot be considered a loser and I will not give you the one thousand taels of gold. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
This is a good idea, as all parties can step down and save Wei Zheng's face.
Li Shimin confirmed: "You really don't want to be number one? Then you will lose your fame. Don't you regret it?"
"Your Majesty, I didn't say that I don't want fame."
"What are you talking about!" Li Shimin said angrily: "Is it possible that you still want me to order four top picks?"
"What I mean is to change. The number one scholar in Changke will be given to Ma Zhou. He will be the second in the ranking. If the second in the ranking is promoted, one person will be promoted to the number one. If the third best in the ranking is promoted, it will be the second. I will be the third best. As for the system, I will follow Qin Huaidao.
In other words, he will be the No. 1 pick and I will be the No. 3 pick."
"What kind of saying is this?"
Li Mu thought to himself, my name is Li Xunhuan, what did you say? But after all, Li Shimin has never seen "Little Li Flying Knife", so he can't blame him if he doesn't understand. Li Mu had no choice but to start talking about it: "Your Majesty, I heard that Tanhua's name is
This is how it comes about. According to the rules, after the number one scholar is selected, His Majesty will give a flower-hunting banquet in the Apricot Garden, and select the two most handsome people as flower-hunting envoys. They will visit the famous gardens and pick flowers along the way. Then he will compose poems in Qionglin Garden and use
Flowers greet the number one scholar. I am not talented. I just took a look around and it seems that I am the youngest and most handsome. As for the number one scholar, I also let you go. Doesn’t it fit the name of exploring flowers?"
"You are just capable of lying!" Li Shimin sighed and said: "That's all, who asked me to promise you, who made you really get the double number one scholar, today I will all rely on you. High-ranking officials, delivering orders, and competing for the title of Luhou.
Li Muhe, whose pseudonym is Li Xunhuanhao, was selected as a regular subject, and he was the number one scholar in both academic and academic subjects. He was also high-spirited and honest, humble and dignified. He gave up the name of the number one scholar, and only added to the top three. I am very pleased. His literary talent is full of talent, his character is noble, and he can serve the world.
As an example of a scholar, I now give him the title of 'Guo Shi', and he will be recorded on a stone immediately in front of the gate of Gongyuan."
Li Mu then laughed and said, "I thank your Majesty for your kindness."
Li Shimin glared at him, as if to say, you should be satisfied now, right? He shook his head helplessly, turned around and left.
The students congratulated each other and followed the young eunuch to the Xingyuan Garden for the banquet. Li Mu did not go. He looked at the big bosses from the three provinces and six departments with a smile, took out a stack of invitations from his arms, and sent them one by one, saying: "People
It doesn't matter whether you come or not, as long as the gift comes. If it's less than 10,000 guan, don't come because there will be no one to serve you."
Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly and said: "Li Mu, have you fallen into the eyes of money now? Opening your mouth and shutting up is money. You can tell yourself, before and after the Chinese New Year, how polite are you?"
Li Mu smiled apologetically and said, "Oh, uncle Guo, your family has a great business, do you still need this little money from me?"
"Don't say that. Whoever has a big business can be as rich as you?"
"Hey, where did I get the money?" Li Mu vomited bitterly and said, "You don't know how much money is spent every day in the Ministry of Internal Affairs! I'm the one who has to compensate you now, so just treat it like this.
Do a good job and make some extra money. If there is any good business in the future, I will just remember you all." Before he could finish his words, Eunuch Gao suddenly ran over in a hurry: "Zhuluhou, Your Majesty wants to see you!"
"Let me say a few words"
"Stop talking, His Majesty wants to see you now. Come with me quickly!" Eunuch Gao couldn't help but said, dragging Li Mu and running away. As Li Mu was being dragged away, he shouted: "Everyone, go to the banquet. Someone is greeting you.
I'll be there in a moment! Mr. Wei, I didn't ask you to become my disciple, how much face would I give you, remember to show your courtesy, you've been eating me for nothing!"
Just like that, he was dragged to the Tai Chi Hall. Li Mu shook off Eunuch Gao's hand and said angrily: "What are you doing? It's such a big deal and it's so urgent. What's wrong with Your Majesty?"
"If you're angry, go in quickly."
Eunuch Gao opened the palace door a crack and pushed Li Mu in. Li Mu staggered and before he could stand still, a vase was thrown at him. He quickly dodged it and smashed it to the ground.
"Your Majesty, didn't I just have a few words with you? As for why I am so angry? You have also seen my article. The number one scholar is based on ability, not opportunism!"
"That's not what I'm talking about!" Li Shimin said angrily: "I think you are hateful. I just wanted to understand why you have to get the number one pick. You do it for your handicap, right? If you win the number two number one prize, you again
Are you going to make a lot of money? I ask you, have you bet my one hundred thousand pounds?"
"No, you didn't allow me to place bets. You said you wouldn't make this money!"
"Why don't you place a bet?" Li Shimin glared and said, "You are in charge of my internal funds to make money for me. You have made it clear that making money, why don't you do it?"
Li Mu smiled bitterly without saying anything: "Your Majesty, you won't give in. I obey your decree!"
"Do you know how to make money or do I know how to make money?"
"Well, it should be because I know a little more than Your Majesty."
"That's right! You know better than me, why do you still listen to me?"
Li Mu didn't know what to say. Why? You are the emperor. If you don't listen to you, you will be beheaded. Why do you ask?
Li Mu knew that he could not defeat Li Shimin no matter what. He sighed and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think we should do?"
"Didn't you plan to bet me a hundred thousand dollars, but in the end you didn't? You have to bear this responsibility!"
"How can I bear it? I can't go back to yesterday and place my bet again."
"Yes." Li Shimin nodded and said: "You can't go back to yesterday, but it's not impossible. I heard that you bet one hundred thousand dollars yourself, why not just let me bet it? What are the odds?
Come on? How much money can my one hundred thousand guan turn into?"
This is your 100,000 yuan? Grab it!
Li Mu's eyes turned red with anger, and he was about to argue with Li Shimin regardless of his identity. Suddenly he was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed. He took out the betting slip from his sleeve, presented it to Li Shimin with both hands, and said: "Your Majesty
What I thought is exactly what I thought, but I didn’t have time to say it. This is the betting slip, marked with one hundred thousand guan. Your Majesty, please take it and pay it tomorrow. Just ask Eunuch Gao to send someone to collect the money. I
Please excuse yourself."
Li Shimin looked at the betting slip and was stunned. Something seemed wrong. What happened to Li Mu? He agreed to come without resisting at all? This doesn't seem like his character. Could it be that this kid has changed his gender? Or is it today?
He behaved like a monster over and over again, and he felt so guilty that he used the money to appease me, or maybe he was planning something else again?
