Chapter 30 Thrilling clearance
Li Shimin refused to comment, and he still had a doubt in his heart that had not dissipated, so he just glanced at Li Mu and said, "Maybe it is."
When Li Mu saw Li Shimin's expression, his heart skipped a beat. He had been touching so much and had not passed the test... It shouldn't be, what went wrong? Li Mu searched his mind and looked at it from the beginning to now, and suddenly thought of someone, Yuan Tiangang!
If something goes wrong, it is mostly because of him. The shadow of the famous tree of a man, Yuan Tiangang is too famous, and it also involves mysterious things such as physiognomy and divination, which makes people feel unsure.
Li Mu gritted his teeth and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing."
Li Shimin looked up at him: "Hmm?"
"Your Majesty, I don't want to be such a gossiping villain behind my back. But just now I heard that Your Majesty seemed to rely on Yuan Tiangang very much, so I have to say that Yuan Tiangang is... Your Majesty must be careful."
Li Shimin frowned and asked, "Why should I be on guard against him?"
Li Mu stumbled for a moment, as if he had made up his mind and said, "Because he is likely to be the son of former Emperor Wen of Sui!"
Li Shimin asked with a smile: "Where did you know this? Could it be that you dreamed?"
Li Mu quickly shook his head and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, please do not use my words as a joke. I have no grudges and grudges with Yuan Tiangang, so there is no need to frame him. I am... I am... I, alas, I confess my guilt."
"What crime do you want to confess?"
"I concealed Your Majesty. When I was killing Princess Yicheng that day, I found a letter in addition to the imperial seal, and a letter that I had not had time to send. When I was waiting for my adoptive father's army, I opened it out of curiosity. There was only one sentence on the letter, "My sister went to Tuyuhun and acted at the right time. Brother was with the emperor, be careful.' The signature was a 'Yi'."
Li Mu gestured for a moment and said, "I drew a circle on the envelope. When I saw it, I was confused. I was confused by the great joy because I found the jade seal of the country. I threw the letter away. Now I think about it, it really shouldn't be. Later, when I was supervising the worker, Yuan Tiangang came with the Supreme Emperor. He scared me and said that I knew my background. I was angry and suddenly thought that Yuan Tiangang was also with the emperor. Moreover, his surname was Yuan, and the circle was also round. I wanted to scare him. Then I told him, I also knew his background."
"It was originally a joke, but Yuan Tiangang took it seriously. He asked me what he knew about his background. I said that he was the son of Emperor Wen of the previous dynasty. I didn't expect that after I said this, Yuan Tiangang's face changed drastically, and he was pale in an instant, and his cheeks were covered with cold sweat. Until I walked away, he stood there in a daze."
"Although I cannot conclude from this that Yuan Tiangang must be the 'brother' mentioned in Princess Yicheng's letter, it is too dangerous for Your Majesty to be more precarious."
"So that's it." Li Shimin murmured and said, "Li Mu, since you told me, I won't blame you anymore. After all, this is a storm and there is no evidence. Li Mu, you must remember that I hope you do more practical things, and don't say such things to me in the future."
Li Mu said anxiously: "But Your Majesty, I am worried about your safety..."
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "You are my minister, and Yuan Tiangang is also my minister. I will judge the loyalty and treacherous oneself. Don't mention this matter again, and don't tell others about it."
Li Mu sighed as if he was very unwilling to accept it, and saluted: "I obey the order."
"Okay, after talking for so long, I guess you are too tired, so let's go."
"I'm leaving."
Li Mu turned around and left. After a while, Eunuch Gao came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Marquis Zhulu has gone far."
Li Shimin nodded, and Eunuch Gao walked to a candlestick beside Li Shimin, grabbed the bronze base of the candlestick, and rotated it counterclockwise for a week. The wall next to Li Shimin turned, and a foot wide gap appeared. A person walked out of the gap with his body sideways. It was Yuan Tiangang!
"Tiangang, have you heard clearly what you said just now?"
Yuan Tiangang nodded and said, "I have heard it clearly."
"You have a secret custody with Princess Yicheng?"
"The secret ban is undecided, but they are all figures that can be understood by each other at a glance, and it is very likely that the circle and fork are."
Li Shimin pondered for a while and asked again: "What do you think of the dream world that Li Mu mentioned?"
"I think if it is compiled out now, there should be no more details in a hurry. It can be seen that Li Mu must have seen it with his own eyes, but what he said is not in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, nor in the nearby countries. It should be what he saw in his dream. I think that Zhulu Hou did not lie. I have divined several times, and the hexagrams are the same. Zhulu Hou should be a person with Su Hui. However, Su Hui has been integrated with him, and he cannot tell what Su Hui brought and what is his own. This matter is reasonable. Su Hui cannot be overshadowed by the host, otherwise he will be another person. And he still remembers his relatives now, which means that he is still Li Mu, not Su Hui. I think it is a good thing."
Li Shimin sighed and said, "Although I have countless capable ministers and generals, how many people can truly trust? If you hadn't advised me to prepare early, I had died at the Xuanwu Gate and the arrow of the King of Chaos. Now the bad people you command are scattered all over the place, but their strength is still very weak. It is okay to find out the news and play little role in major events. But Li Mu is a person who can play a big role. Just the Zhenguan Plough, if it is successfully implemented, the arable land will increase by at least 30% next year. In less than five years, the grain output of our Tang Dynasty will be able to return to the peak of the previous dynasty."
"But such a person has to be afraid of me! If he can always use it for me, I will be like a tiger, but if he joins the family, it will be a big worry for me."
Li Shimin seemed to be talking to Yuan Tiangang, or he was talking to himself. But it was obvious that he trusted Yuan Tiangang and Eunuch Gao very much, otherwise he would not have talked about these things in front of the two of them. Yuan Tiangang did not interrupt, but just listened quietly. Such a big thing, the opinions of others would not play any role, and the emperor must be arbitrary.
After thinking for a long time, Li Shimin made a decision and said, "I have to use such a talent. Pay close attention to the people in the family who are close to Li Mu. If there is any abnormality, report it at any time."
"promise."
Li Mu came out of the imperial city and saw Tang Guan standing beside Li Chongyi at a glance. Tang Guan saw Li Mu and hurriedly ran up, bowed to the bottom, and raised his head again, his eyes were filled with tears, and he said excitedly: "Brother, I have been waiting here, wanting to admit my mistake in person with my brother. Last time, I came to the door to apologize, but I was convinced, but I was dissatisfied. Today, my brother was trying to protect me in all kinds of ways in the hall. I was moved and felt very ashamed. This time, I sincerely acknowledged my mistake to my brother, and I would like to forgive me..."
As he spoke, Tang Guan actually shed tears. Seeing his appearance, Li Mu really couldn't bear to tell him the truth. Everything he said in the hall just now was just to attack Kong Yingda and had nothing to do with Tang Guan. Even if it was Sun Guan and Zhao Guan, he would say whatever he should say. However, if it was not for the vain favor, Li Mu did not deny it, responded vaguely and continued to move forward.
Tang Guan seemed very excited and followed behind and continued to clamor: "Brother, listening to your brother's words today is really better than reading for ten years. After listening to your brother's words today, I realized that I have so many advantages. If it weren't for the advice of my brother, maybe I would still be troubled by my studies being worse than my age..."
Li Mu suddenly stood down and turned around and said, "What did you say?"
"Ah?" Tang Guan was stunned and said, "I said I'm troubled by my studies..."
"The previous sentence!"
Seeing that Li Mu's face was wrong, Tang Guan said with a slight silence: "I only realized my strengths after listening to my brother's words..."
"Ha!" Li Mu laughed and said, "That's it! Tang Guan, I did find one of your advantages today... Your skin is really thick! You don't really think I'm telling the truth, you don't look at your own appearance. Kong Yingda said it lightly. Not only are you not good at studying, but you are still ignorant. What are your advantages?"
Tang Guan was stunned and said anxiously: "Then why did my brother choose me as the editor?"
Li Mu patted Tang Guan on the shoulder and said, "My brother, I didn't want to hurt your confidence at first, but when I said this, let me tell you the truth. You should have grown up. This editor can do anyone, just read. I was just lazy and didn't choose people. Just when you came, you gave you a discount. Don't take what I said today seriously. Those words that praise you are even more fake. You have no advantages, you are just a playboy who is ignorant."
Tang Guan really cried now and said, "Brother, you have hit me too hard. Even if I am really so unbearable, can you be more tactful?"
"A good medicine is good for diseases, and honest words are good for actions. Since you call me brother, I should take on my responsibility as my brother, so that you can recognize your own weight so that you will not suffer any losses outside in the future."
"Oh..." Tang Guan lowered his head, and the excitement just now disappeared.
"But don't underestimate yourself. As long as you work hard, you can still make some progress, just work hard."
Tang Guanben was full of confidence. After hearing what Li Mu said, he felt a little confused and asked, "Brother, I have to write a manuscript every day now. How should I write it?"
Li Mu climbed up the horse and said, "Simple, the matter in the court is just three. Between the monarch and the ministers, loyal to the monarch and the subjects, love the people, and advise the monarch and the people to love the people. Grasp these three points well, you will not make any mistakes no matter how you write them."
"Mr., subjects, monarchs and people..." Tang Guan chewed Li Mu's words and was a little overwhelmed. When he had finished sorting out, Li Mu had already walked away as soon as he looked up. Tang Guan sighed: "Brother is brother, unfathomable. Any word can make me feel enlightened! When can I be like him!"
