Chapter 145

Li Mu sat on the bed for an hour, and after careful analysis, he felt that he always had such dreams because he relied too much on the Queen.

Others are always heroes to save the beautiful, but he always waits for the beautiful to be rescued.

Over time, his subconscious will be affected.

Li Mu didn't want to be completely reduced to relying on women for protection, so he decided to do something proactively.

If he can make the Queen rely on him, maybe she will be the one to have such a dream in the future.

But she is the Queen of Zhou Dynasty and a strong person in the seventh realm. Li Mu can't handle people she can't handle, so how can she become the queen's support?

After thinking deeply, the only thing he could do was probably have some cooking skills.

Although his cooking skills are not as good as those of the royal chefs in the palace, it is obvious that the queen is used to eating delicacies from all over the world and prefers the home-cooked meals he cooks.

When she is completely used to Li Mu's cooking and can't live without Li Mu, it's time for him to take the initiative.

Today's morning court ended, and the Queen's figure appeared in the courtyard of the Li Mansion as usual.

Li Mu rolled up his sleeves and said enthusiastically: "Your Majesty has come to court. Whatever you want to eat today, I will make it for you..."

Zhou Wu thought for a while and said: "Curian carp and tofu soup..."

"Okay, Your Majesty, please wait here for a while..." Li Mu smiled and walked towards the kitchen. Halfway there, his steps suddenly stopped.

He realized that he seemed to have gone in the wrong direction. How could he, a beloved minister, always do what a beloved concubine should do, and turn his ministers into concubines? No wonder he often had those weird dreams at night. It turned out that the root cause

it's here.

If it continues, I am afraid that the situation will not only not improve, but will worsen.

It was not too late to remedy the situation. Li Mu waved to the two girls in the corner and said: "Xiaobai, Wanwan, you go cook, Sister Zhou and I have something important to discuss..."

Li Mu walked to sit opposite the Queen and asked, "How is your Majesty's inner demon suppressed?"

Zhou Wu glanced at Li Mu and said, "It's been a long time since I showed up."

Li Mu heard this and breathed a sigh of relief. The inner demons in the seventh realm are unusual. Throughout the ages, there have been many strong men in the upper three realms. They were not destroyed by their enemies, but by their inner demons. Li Mu didn't want the Queen to die because of her inner demons.

There are three long and two short.

As for inner demons, Qingxin Jue can cure the symptoms, but not the root cause? In the end, she still has to rely on herself.

Speaking of the Qingxin Jue, Li Mu originally planned to draw more high-level talismans with the help of the Queen's magic power after returning to the divine capital. But later he realized that he had already taught the Qingxin Jue to the Queen. She could draw it herself.

High-level talismans are very attractive to practitioners.

Is this a rare cultivation resource? A holy-level Heavenly Secret Talisman? It can make a strong person who is half-step transcendent and whose lifespan is on the verge of being cut off. He has been working for the court for several years. The Heavenly Secret Talisman increases not only their lifespan? There is also

A chance for them to advance to transcendence.

Although the heavenly and earthly talismans are difficult to attract those in the sixth realm, they are still very attractive to people below the sixth realm.

There are very few strong people in the sixth realm, and a large number of those in the fourth and fifth realms are the mainstay of the practice world.

After thinking for a moment, Li Mu looked at the Queen and said: "The Pure Heart Technique I taught your Majesty can not only be used to calm the Taoist mind, but reciting this technique before writing the amulet can increase the success rate of the amulet. As long as there are enough

The treasures of heaven and earth are used to make talisman liquid. With your Majesty’s cultivation, you can easily write holy talismans. You can use the talismans to recruit more powerful people for the imperial court..."

The Queen looked at him and said: "This technique can increase the success rate of the book talisman. I have discovered it, but it seems to be limited to talismans below the heaven level. Talisman above the heaven level will still fail."

This time it was Li Mu's turn to be surprised.

He knows the function of the Qingxin Jue better than anyone else. Not to mention the heavenly level, even the holy level can be drawn relatively easily as long as there is enough magic power to support it. Why is it ineffective on the queen?

Li Mu was puzzled and asked: "Your Majesty has already tried it?"

The Queen nodded.

After confirming with the Queen again, Li Mu fell into deep thought.

The same formula, there is no reason to favor boys over girls.

The queen looked at him and said: "The heavenly talisman on Baiyun Mountain was painted by you."

Li Mu nodded and said: "Your Majesty already knows..."

Li Mu didn't tell her much about the details of the trial, but he couldn't hide it from her either.

The Queen was silent for a while and suddenly asked: "The master you are talking about named "Lao Tzu" is actually you, right?"

Li Mu was shocked and said quickly: "Why did your Majesty say this?"

The Queen glanced at him and said softly: "Taoist magical powers will be recognized by heaven and earth when they are first born. Only their creators can exert their strongest power. The same is true for formulas. This is the rule of heaven and earth. I use my pure heart to

There is only one reason why I am not as good as you."

The queen's words reminded Li Mu of Xiaoyu.

Although he was unable to use Xiaoyu's Taoism, Xiaoyu's Taoism had no effect on him.

Li Mu's Taoism can be dissipated with just one thought.

In other words, whether it is the Qingxin Jue or the Nine-Character Mantra, as long as Li Mu brought them to this world for the first time, he is considered their creator.

Later, even if people can learn, they will never reach his level. To attack him with his Taoism is to seek death.

But the fact that he didn't have a master was exposed in front of the Queen.

Li Mu said awkwardly: "Your Majesty, actually..."

Zhou Wu waved her hand and said: "This is your secret, you don't need to explain it to me."

Li Mu looked at her and said: "There are some things that I cannot tell your majesty, but I swear by the law of heaven that my heart will always be with your majesty. I am loyal to your majesty. I am willing to go through fire and water for your majesty, even if I die..."

Zhou Wu said: "I don't want you to go through fire and water, you can cook. I like to eat the food you cook."

Li Mu rolled up his sleeves again: "Okay..."



Two days later, Zhongshu Province.

It has been many days since he returned to Beijing, even more than his three-month vacation. After taking Wanwan to Miaoyinfang to meet her former little sisters, and accompanying her and Xiaobai to visit Shendu for two days, Li Mu finally set foot in the capital.

Entered the gate of Zhongshu Province.

After the imperial examination, the Queen transferred him to the Zhongshu Province. His official position was Zhongshu Sheren. His rank was not high, but he was extremely important. He usually participated in national affairs.

After receiving the notification at the door, Liu Yi walked out of a government office and said, "Master Li, you are finally here."

Li Mu bowed his hand to him and said: "In the future, I will serve as an official in the same Yamen. Please take care of me, Minister Liu."

Liu Yi smiled and said: "We are all colleagues, and we should look after each other. I will take Mr. Li to your office."

In the Zhongshu Province, the six Zhongshu Sheren are the backbone of the yamen. Each of the six has a yamen, which respectively corresponds to the affairs of the six departments of Shangshu. Li Mu took over Liu Yi's original position and was in charge of the punishment department.

Zhongshusheren do not specifically interfere with the operation of each department, but they have the responsibility to supervise and guide the official affairs of each department.

Li Mu's government office was very large. When he walked in, the table in the government office was neatly piled with envelopes.

Liu Yidao: "Mr. Li has been away from the Yamen for the past three months. These issues must be dealt with as soon as possible. There are a lot of affairs in the Zhongshu Province. If they are not dealt with in time, they may pile up."

Li Mu nodded and said, "I understand."

Liu Yi smiled and said, "Master Li just came to the Yamen. If you don't understand anything, just ask me."

After seeing off Liu Yi, Li Mu sat down and spent a short time getting familiar with the unfamiliar environment around him, and then began to deal with the folds on the table.

Among the six departments, the Ministry of Punishment has a lot of matters, especially after the legal reform. After the serious cases in each county were submitted to the Ministry of Punishment for review, they were then submitted to the Zhongshu Province for review, and finally to the Queen for approval.

Most of the memorials on Li Mu's desk contain excerpts of this kind.

People's lives are at stake. Li Mu reads these details very carefully. If there are any doubts or omissions, he will put them aside and wait for them to be called back for re-examination. As for those with conclusive evidence, he will just go through the process.

, placed on the other side, and finally handed over to the Queen for instructions.

There were a lot of papers accumulated over the past three months. Li Mu only saw less than half of them when he looked from the upper office to the lower office.

He picked up the last envelope and planned to go home after reading it. The rest should be approved within two days.

Li Mu opened the memorial. This envelope came from Danyang County and was sent by the governor of Danyang County.

The excerpt said that a few months ago, the magistrate of Anyi County, Danyang County, died of an assassination. Danyang County submitted the case file to the Ministry of Punishment several times, but nothing came of it, and there was no response. In desperation, it could only submit the excerpt directly.

Zhongshu...

Li Mu put the envelope away alone with a suspicious look on his face. The assassination of a seventh-rank official was related to the dignity of the imperial court. The death of the magistrate of Yang County last time caused an uproar in Bei County. What on earth did the Ministry of Punishment do? Such a big thing

The matter was not reported...
