Li Shimin was worrying, and a letter came back from Li Jing's army. In seven days, or at most ten days, the army will return to the court. In other words, Jieli will be escorted to Chang'an. The Turks have always been a serious problem for the Central Plains dynasties, and the monarchs of several dynasties
None of them could really destroy the country. And Jieli Khan was one of the mortal enemies of the two emperors of the Tang Dynasty. This time he destroyed the Turks and captured Jieli. Such great achievements, according to etiquette, he had to report the captured prisoners to the Ancestral Temple.
.
Here's the thing. Although Li Shimin has ascended the throne and is the emperor now, he still has the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan above him. When the Ancestral Temple worships the ancestors, Li Yuan must participate in the ceremony. But how can Li Shimin dare to follow Li Yuan?
Speaking of this matter, first of all, this credit was achieved when he was in power, and Jieli was the enemy of him and his father for two generations. If Li Yuan were to participate, wouldn't it be telling the world that I had failed to accomplish something?
My son has done it, and his son is better than me. What does this make me think? Moreover, it must have been an unprecedented grand occasion. The people gathered in the mountains and shouted long live, but the people shouted Li Shimin, and the people shouted long live Li Shimin, and Li Yuan was right next to him.
, what should we think?
Li Shimin was afraid that if he mentioned it, it would bring back old memories. Not to mention that the matter could not be solved, he would also be scolded. His nose was not his nose, his face was not his face. After all, he was the current monarch of the Tang Dynasty, so he couldn't afford to be embarrassed.
People.
But things still had to be done. In desperation, he had to beg Empress Changsun to go for him. Over the years, although the relationship between father and son was very tense, Empress Changsun still had some face with Li Yuan because of Empress Changsun's honest conduct.
It's hard for people to find fault. Even if Li Yuan is full of evil spirits, he can't attack Empress Changsun. But this time is different from the past. Although Li Yuan didn't get angry, Empress Changsun paid her respects in the morning and evening. She has been there for two days and has met with everyone.
Still facing each other with a cold face. Li Shimin was not a fool, so he naturally knew his father's attitude. He was so depressed that he didn't bother to read the memorial and kept sighing.
"Your Majesty, my adopted son is here." Eunuch Gao suddenly came over and whispered. Li Shimin glanced at him, rubbed his swollen brows, and said, "Let him in!"
Eunuch Gao turned around and went out, and soon he came in with a young eunuch. If Li Mu were here, he would definitely recognize this young eunuch as the one who brought him into the palace. The young eunuch came over and saluted, and Li Shimin waved his hand.
Said: "What happened again?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, just after the Queen paid her regards, the Supreme Emperor met with Zhulu Hou Li Mu. Li Mu also gave the slave a piece of silver, which is five taels." As he said this, the little eunuch took out the piece of silver given by Li Mu, and Li Shimin looked at it.
He rolled his eyes and said: "Since I gave it to you, just take it and pick out the important ones. I'm not in the mood to listen to nonsense today."
"No." The little eunuch saw that Li Shimin's face was not good, so he quickly put the money back into his sleeves, started to let Li Mu enter the door, and recited the conversation with Li Yuan. If Li Mu were here, he would be even more surprised. This little eunuch has an amazing memory, and he also
He can imitate human voices, not only repeating the conversation between the two people word for word, but also imitating the voice, tone, and even the expression and attitude very vividly. In contrast, the part where he imitated Cheng Yaojin was not even on the stage.
Li Shimin frowned at first, but later he heard Li Mu's views on the Xuanwu Sect, and his expression became more relaxed. When he heard the advice Li Mu gave Li Yuan later, he felt a little dumbfounded. Gao Eunuch observed his words and said: "Your Majesty,
After all, this Zhuluhou is still young, from a humble background, and has little knowledge. Your Majesty, please don’t take it to heart..."
Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "There is no need for you to say good things for him. I'm not angry. On the contrary, I think what he said is quite good. Isn't that what happened back then... The feud between brothers must be settled. If I
Even if they don't take action, they will do it. My father loves me no less than they do. Today, my father will definitely drink for me to drown my sorrows..."
With tears in his eyes, Li Shimin said: "The difficulty lies in the family relationship between father and son in the Tian family. But I don't regret it. I believe that if I were to be the emperor, I would do better than them!" After a pause, Li Shimin asked.
: "Li Ji came to see me yesterday. Did he mention that he would give Li Mu a mansion and he would move there in a few days?"
Eunuch Gao responded: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this is indeed the case."
"This is a happy event. Since I know about it, I will give him a plaque and a pen and ink."
Eunuch Gao and the young eunuch hurriedly served with pen and ink. Li Shimin picked up the langhao pen, dipped it in ink, and wrote the four white characters "Zhulu Hou Mansion" on the paper. After writing, he looked at it, picked up the seal, and just
When he was about to seal it, he suddenly put it aside and said, "Here comes the jade seal passed down from the state. Since Li Mu has used this to make him a marquis, I will stamp him with this seal."
Eunuch Gao quickly took it and handed it to Li Shimin, saying: "This is the great honor of Zhuluhou, enough to be passed down to the world. If it is passed down to the people, it will be a good story."
Li Shimin smiled when he heard this and stamped the imperial seal on the paper. He used the paper to absorb the remaining ink with his own hands, rolled it up and handed it to Eunuch Gao, saying: "The master craftsman in the palace made a plaque overnight, and together with this inscription,
We will send them together tomorrow."
Eunuch Gao collected Li Shimin's books and said "Promise". Just as he was about to turn around and go out, another young eunuch came in at the door.
"Your Majesty, this servant will send a note to Your Majesty on behalf of the Supreme Emperor."
"Bring it!"
Li Shimin opened the note and his expression suddenly became very exciting. Eunuch Gao and the two young eunuchs could not see the content and did not dare to ask, so they all made random guesses in their minds. After a while, Li Shimin put the note away and said: "Go.
Returning to the Supreme Emperor, let me think about this matter. I will go over to say hello during dinner and I will definitely give the Supreme Emperor an answer."
"promise."
The young eunuch left in response. Li Shimin said to the first young eunuch who came to report: "Go and bring Zhuluhou back to me. I want to settle the score with him!"
When Eunuch Gao heard this, he quickly asked: "Your Majesty, are you still going to make this plaque?"
"Do it, talk about it one by one, it doesn't matter."
"No." Eunuch Gao responded and went out with the little eunuch, but he was full of doubts in his heart. This Zhuluhou is really capable of causing trouble. Just now, he made His Majesty happy because of one thing, and then another thing immediately made His Majesty unhappy, but
Your Majesty is unhappy. Why haven't you canceled the reward yet? Eunuch Gao is a little confused. Does your Majesty like this young prince or not?
Li Mu came out of Yong'an Gate, met up with Li Chongyi, and drove the empty carriage back. He had just left the imperial city and had not walked a few steps when a fast horse chased him from behind and asked him to go back. Li Mu was at a loss and didn't know what happened, so he had to let him go.
Li Chongyi drove the bullock cart home first, and then followed the young eunuch back to the palace city.
