"I can't explain this feeling." Li Shimin pursed his lips and said with some distress: "This kid Li Mu is not only unexpected, but also -" Li Shimin said in confusion: "Queen, don't you think that even if Li Mu does something?
No matter how impossible it is, if it comes into his hands, it can always be done in the end."
Empress Changsun frowned: "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
Li Shimin frowned and said: "I can't understand why Li Mu can do many things that I can't even imagine. When I talked about Li Mu with Yuan Tiangang, Yuan Tiangang once said,
He has performed divination for Li Mu many times, but he has never been able to understand his predictions. This is almost impossible, but it happened to Li Mu."
"Also," Li Shimin paused and sighed: "Yuan Tiangang also talked to me about the way of luck, and I also think it makes sense."
"Queen, I know what you are worried about." Li Shimin smiled and said: "I will never reach the level of 'demon harming the country', and Yuan Tiangang is not that kind of person, and his hexagram skills are quite accurate.
Listen to what Yuan Tiangang said - he told me that if a hero in this world wants to achieve something, the right time, place and people all play a role, but the most important thing is luck. Like me
The Li family raised troops in Jinyang. At that time, among the various rebels against the king, the Li family did not have the upper hand, but why did the Li family finally seize the world? This is a matter of luck."
"When luck is with you, you can win even the unwinnable battles. When luck is not with you, you can't win the battles that are sure to win. When luck is with you, you can avoid the rain of speeding arrows. When luck is not with you, you can avoid the rain of arrows.
, a cold arrow can kill the general among thousands of troops."
"So I was thinking that whatever Li Mu does now, he can achieve anything. He can also do impossible things. But after I ascended the throne, I have been repeatedly hampered in doing things. Could it be that my luck is no longer there?
It’s on me, but on Li Mu’s body?”
"I am the emperor, and I am called the Son of Heaven. Logically speaking, I should be a person blessed by luck. But if Li Mu's luck exceeds mine, maybe God is telling me that I am no longer the person destined by fate.
, the person destined by destiny became Li Mu, he is the son of God!"
"It is also because of this worry in my heart that I feel a little afraid of Li Mu. So when the auxiliary machine does these things, I subconsciously agree. Maybe it is because I also want to do this in my heart. I want to advance
Eliminate hidden dangers?" Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know either."
Li Shimin sighed and said: "Now that I think about these things, I feel that I am a little unimpressive and not like an emperor should behave. I am not such a person, but why, when I faced Li Mu, was I afraid
So many? Am I really an intolerable emperor?"
He looked at his hand again and said: "How crazy is this kid Li Mu? In front of me, he drew his sword and pointed it at the auxiliary machine, forcing me to stop him - I gave him the Shangfang Sword, but he dared to use it
To hurt me, he also said that he drank from a golden cup with you, but refused to show mercy with his bare blade. He even dared to drink my blood with his bare blade. Tell me, can I not be afraid of such a person?"
When Li Shimin said this, he wanted to get some recognition from Empress Changsun, but contrary to what he thought, Empress Changsun smiled. Li Shimin was a little confused, and he asked anxiously: "Queen, do you think I have gone astray?"
"Your Majesty, when my concubine heard this, she had other thoughts." Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin and said seriously: "Your Majesty, have you never thought that this is what the kid Li Mu told your Majesty?"
"Of course he told it to me, he even hurt me!"
Empress Changsun shook her head and said: "I mean, he is saying that your majesty will treat him with a golden goblet and drink with you, but he will not show mercy with a bare sword!"
"Am I right about him?" Li Shimin was a little confused, as if he understood something, but didn't seem to catch anything. Empress Changsun further explained: "Your Majesty, think about it, when you treated Li Mu before, was it 'Jin Zun'?"
Let's drink with you'? But after these things happened this time, why did Your Majesty ever spare him? Li Mu was mocking Your Majesty. No matter how deep the so-called holy family is, when His Majesty changes his mind and attacks him with bare hands,
He will not be spared either."
"As for hurting Your Majesty?" Empress Changsun paused for a moment, but still did not tactfully say, "I feel that Your Majesty is not bad at all. Li Mu must have done it on purpose. He wanted to tell Your Majesty how sad he was this time.
. He wanted to tell Your Majesty that he is not the kind of minister who can be flattened or rounded at will, and His Majesty should not treat him like that. If Your Majesty hurts him again, he will no longer remain silent and will give His Majesty a certain counterattack - this
The meaning should be unmistakable."
"What does he want to do?"
"Where do you know where I'm going?" Queen Changsun rolled her eyes at Li Shimin and said, "I just know that if Li Mu has any rebellious intentions, he won't show it so obviously. Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about Li Mu's loyalty, he won't rebel.
, unless His Majesty forces him again like this time."
"Why is the queen so sure?"
Empress Changsun did not answer but asked: "Your Majesty, can you imagine Li Mu wearing a dragon robe and sitting on a dragon chair?"
"This..." Li Shimin imagined it for a moment and quickly swept that image out of his mind. He was really unworthy of a son. If Li Mu became the emperor, he would be the most careless emperor. Throughout the dynasties, even if he was a coward,
They all have an imperial demeanor, Li Mu’s demeanor? Standing on the city wall and throwing coins?
The conversation was basically over at this point. Empress Changsun knew that Li Shimin still had many things to think about, so she resigned and left. After leaving the Tai Chi Palace, Empress Changsun asked the female official next to her, "Brother made a bet with Li Mu and lost."
Can he pay 100,000 yuan?"
"I gave it, but Li Mu didn't want it. He said it was donated to the Salesian Bureau."
"Well -" Empress Changsun nodded, without asking any more questions, and the group walked towards the Lizheng Hall.
…
With Li Mu's departure, Chang'an City has returned to peace again. Datang Daily has a new edition every day, and the new headlines replace the old headlines. There are always new things happening every day. People will soon forget that life is still the same as usual.
Pass.
But for the clan and the nobles, life is no longer business as usual. One of the leaders of the clan, Wang Gui of the Wang family in Taiyuan, was dismissed from office by Li Shimin. He lost the important force in Menxia Province, and the nobles
On the other hand, Changsun Wuji's "sick leave" also caused Xungui to temporarily lose the fat man in the staff department. It was not as convenient as before to place some officials.
Everyone suddenly realized that there was no winner this time. Li Shimin took the throne and killed them all! Whether they were nobles or nobles, they all became Li Mu's "funeral objects". Li Mu avoided Luoyang in exchange for a great victory for the imperial power.
From this, many people began to start conspiracy theories. Was this incident a plan planned by Li Mu and His Majesty from beginning to end? The purpose was to suppress the nobles and nobles? If you think so, it does not seem impossible at all.
However, even though I thought so in my heart, the lessons learned from the past are not far away, and no one dared to discuss it openly. Private discussions did not reach the stage and did not make waves.
During this period of "leaderlessness", there was a rare long-lost peace in the court. The various forces no longer attacked each other, but each did their own thing, for fear of being caught by Li Shimin again.
The day after Li Mu left, Tang Jian also left for Shuzhou to take up his post. Tang Jian had been an official in the court for many years and had always been a good man. He also controlled a wealthy yamen like the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Their relationship is very good. Although Tang Jian seems to have been demoted this time, he is still in the heart of the emperor and may come back one day. In addition, the Tang family is so powerful that no one dares to laugh at him.
There were quite a few people seeing her off, but when they saw Sun's carriage, they still couldn't help but point at her. Sun occasionally heard a few words, which made her feel even more guilty. Tang Jian comforted her, and Tang Jian saw it in his eyes, but felt a twinge in his heart.
I feel a bit envious that it is indeed rare for a person to have such a relationship in his old age.
Three days after Tang Jian left, Li Xiaogong also went to Dingxiang to take up his post as the Protector-General. Originally, the Protectorate of Dingxiang was not qualified to set up the Protector-General, because Li Xiaogong was the king of the county, and his specifications were there.
If he is to be used, whether in terms of qualifications or status, he must be the Protector-General. With one more big character, the grade is different. The Protector-General is the third grade, and the Protector-General is the second-grade. Among military generals, this is the highest grade.
, and only Li Jing, who is now Shangshu's right servant, can compare with him.
However, Li Jing had served as Li Xiaogong's subordinate before. In terms of qualifications, Li Jing would never dare to compare with Li Xiaogong. Except for Li Shimin, the then general of Tiance, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Li Xiaogong was the first person in the dynasty.
Li Chongyi could not go with Li Xiaogong, but entered the Chongwen Hall to accompany the prince to study. This is also the meaning of the title. When a general leads an army, he must leave his eldest son as a hostage. This is not only the case for Li Xiaogong, but also for Li Ji. If Li Xiaogong
Be sure to take Li Chongyi with you, even if he has no objections, someone will read his book.
This was all news ten days ago. When Li Mu received this news, he had already arrived in Luoyang, but his current situation was a little bit worse.
…
Chang'an is not far from Luoyang, but the road is a bit winding. You have to go through Sanmenxia by water, and the land route also has twists and turns, and the road condition is not very good. This is why the price of food in Chang'an City has always been high. Transportation
Grain is sailing against the current from downstream to upstream. Many sections of the road rely on trackers. The increased cost of transportation is shared among grains, so grain prices will naturally be higher.
But Luoyang does not have this problem. There is a saying in the West that all roads lead to Rome. It is also very suitable to apply to Luoyang. All roads lead to Luoyang. You can reach Luoyang from any place, whether by water or land. This
This also led to a huge flaw of Luoyang, that is, it was not easy to defend. Therefore, throughout history, the dynasties with their capital in Chang'an were always longer than the dynasties with their capital in Luoyang.
Li Mu has always had a beautiful imagination about Luoyang. He came to Luoyang in his previous life. There are also peonies in Luoyang. When he thinks of peonies, he thinks of Wang Ou. Looking at the signposts in the system, Panda should be in Luoyang.
Along the way, Li Mu kept thinking about what he should do.
Last time in Dingxiang, Wang Ou left without meeting because of Jin Chen. Li Mu also thought that he would never meet Jin Chen again, so he was not really worried about Wang Ou.
He thought that if they met and coaxed him well, it might be fine, but this time Jin Chen died for him, and Li Mu couldn't avoid it anymore. He had to be responsible and take Jin Chen with him, but
In this case, how would Wang Ou explain it? He was really not sure whether the two women would fight if they met.
Now that Wang Ou still has his flesh and blood in his belly, if he gets so angry and hurts the child, he really doesn’t know what to do. For now, it’s best to keep the two of them from meeting each other, but what should he do?
What do you mean? Jin Chen has been a little clingy to him these days. It's better when he's in front of Qiaoqiao. But when he's not in front of Qiaoqiao, he wants to hold his arm and not let go. He's really clingy.
Li Mu has always felt guilty because of Jin Chen's death, but this does not mean that he can accept Jin Chen because of this. He just feels that he has an obligation to shoulder the responsibility of a man. And he also knows that Bai Bai
In Qiaoqiao's heart, he has always been worried about Jin Chen's kidnapping of him. Whether he is with Jin Chen or not, he also has to take into account Bai Qiaoqiao's thoughts. If Bai Qiaoqiao can't get through, he won't be able to get through it.
Jin Chen will not be allowed in. Fortunately, Bai Qiaoqiao has a gentle personality and soft ears. After the suicide incident, Bai Qiaoqiao's attitude towards Jin Chen has also softened. Otherwise, Li Mu would really be caught in the trap.
There is no longer a human being inside or outside.
But even so, it was not time to explain everything clearly. Li Mu also thought not to be so anxious and settle down first. So after arriving in Luoyang, Li Mu thought about buying a house to settle down first, but when he started
, only to find that no one in the huge city of Luoyang was willing to sell his house to him!
Under normal circumstances, no matter how small a city is, no matter how little transactions there are, there will never be any people selling their houses. What's more, Li Mu paid a big price. If things go wrong, there must be monsters. There is only one possibility for such a situation to happen.
, that is, someone does not want him to buy the house, and this person is very powerful and can actually control the entire city of Luoyang!
This is very strange. Li Mu is not someone who has never seen the world. He has lived in Chang'an for so long and met all kinds of people. Even if he is as powerful as the emperor, Li Shimin dare not say that he can control the city of Chang'an.
It's true that he can't do it, but in Luoyang, which is not much smaller than Chang'an, someone can actually do this, so that even if that person has money, he doesn't dare to make it. What kind of person would he be?
