When Eunuch Gao came back, Li Shimin had not yet rested. What happened today made him feel uncomfortable.

Eunuch Gao tiptoed in. Li Shimin had been with him for decades and had long been very familiar with Eunuch Gao's footsteps. He knew it was him without looking back.

"How is Li Mu?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, you are overjoyed, and the Marquis of Zhulu wakes up."

Li Shimin turned around and looked at Eunuch Gao and confirmed: "Really? Li Mu is awake? Did he say anything?"

"Report to Your Majesty, although Zhulu Hou is awake, he is weak and cannot speak."

"well!"

Li Shimin sighed and said to Eunuch Gao: "Don't wake up the queen, follow me to go out for a walk."

"No." Eunuch Gao hurriedly took the bearskin cloak and put it on Li Shimin's shoulders. He had a deep internal strength and was no problem to resist some cold wind.

The two of them left the palace gate and did not leave, but stepped on the stone steps. The snow had already become a thick layer, and it was creaking when it stepped on it.

Eunuch Gao was one step behind Li Shimin, opened his mouth and endured it back. He wanted to tell Li Shimin that there were two masters around Li Mu. But thinking about it, it seemed that nothing was said. Isn’t it normal for Li Mu to have two masters around, or dead soldiers? And I didn’t win today, so I was a bit embarrassed, so don’t mention it.

The two of them walked forward and came to a corner. The terrain here is higher. Looking north, you can see Xuanwu Gate.

Many memories came to my mind. Li Shimin suddenly said, "Gao Guan, you were originally an eunuch from the Sui Palace. He was sent by the former Emperor Yang of Sui to monitor your father, but he didn't know that you were originally the suspicion sent by the father to the palace. I always had a doubt in my heart. When you returned to your father, the father was grateful for your contribution and planned to reward you. Why did you want nothing but follow me? At that time, I was just a child, and my eldest brother... Prince Yin had grown up, he was the prince. No matter who he saw, he was the one who inherited his father's foundation. Why did you choose me?"

Eunuch Gao didn't expect Li Shimin to suddenly ask this question, and was slightly stunned. Li Shimin turned around and looked at him and said, "You have known me for many years, and you are like my shadow. Do you need to think about answering my questions for so long?"

"I dare not." Eunuch Gao quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not deceive Your Majesty. At that time, I thought that if I wanted to reward, I would be gone. But if I wanted to stay with the Supreme Emperor, although I was the suspicion sent by the Supreme Emperor, the Supreme Emperor might not trust me. Instead of being suspicious of the Supreme Emperor, it would be better to choose a new master. As Your Majesty said, Prince Yin was a better candidate at that time. But Old Nu thought a little more. Prince Yin was already an adult and had a lot of calculating in his life. Old Nu was worried that he would be suspicious if he was with Prince Yin. His Majesty was over ten years old at that time and was kind and sincere. After comparing with it, he would rather serve Your Majesty as the master."

"Chengsheng..." Li Shimin murmured this word, smiled bitterly, and said, "The word "Chengsheng" is indeed very suitable if it is placed on me back then. But if it is placed on me back today, I dare not recognize it. Times have changed, I am no longer the I am back then, and I am no longer a sincere person."

"His Majesty……"

"You don't need to comfort me, I have the ability to know myself."

Li Shimin sighed and became silent again.

After a long time, Li Shimin suddenly said, "Great Cast, do you still remember how many sons Prince Yin have?"

Eunuch Gao was stunned again. Why is His Majesty a little strange today? Or is he really old and can't understand His Majesty's words? Why can't he guess what His Majesty is thinking?

There is nothing better than Eunuch Gao's incident. Because during the Xuanwu Gate Incident, there was one thing that Eunuch Gao did personally. Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji's descendants were both killed by Eunuch Gao.

Although he didn't understand why Li Shimin suddenly asked what he knew, Eunuch Gao still replied: "When you say that, Prince Yin has six sons, eldest son, Li Chengzong, and died early. Later, there were Li Chengdao, Li Chengde, Li Chengxun, Li Chengming, and Li Chengyi's five sons." Eunuch Gao did not say anything further afterwards.

Li Shimin shook his head and said, "It's more than these six."

"Uh..." Eunuch Gao didn't dare to answer this. After thinking for a while, he said carefully: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry for being stupid and I don't understand what Your Majesty means."

Li Shimin chuckled and said, "The high-ranking official, Prince Yin is romantic, otherwise he would not have had an affair with his father's concubines. His descendants are far more than six. Otherwise, why would you think these Shandong gentry and Wei Zheng refuse to submit to me? I have known their thoughts for a long time. They are still counting on finding a descendant of Prince Yin who is lingering among the people, and occupying the land of Shandong, and establishing the orthodox in their hearts!"

Eunuch Gao was so scared that he didn't know this secret. He said in surprise: "Your Majesty, do they have such courage?"

"Ha! They have always been dissatisfied with me!"

Li Shimin took a deep breath and sighed: "After I ascended the throne, I have been tolerant of them and tried to influence them. But they, especially Wei Zheng, have disappointed me too much!"

Eunuch Gao gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, since this is the case, it is better to kill him!"

"Forget it!" Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "When I ascended the throne, I swore that I must be a good emperor. Let my father and future generations know that what I did back then was right. I must be better than Prince Yin's son! I saved their lives to ask them to see if I can do it well!"

"They will definitely not accept it. Even if His Majesty does a good job, they will not admit it."

"I don't need them to admit it, I just let them watch it!" Li Shimin opened his arms, as if embracing the wind and snow passing through Xuanwu Gate, and said, "I am the number one emperor in history! I want them to see my ambitions!"

"Li Mu, the wise man given to me by God. With him assisting me, I will be like a tiger with wings!"

There was a light flashing in Li Shimin's eyes, as if it could penetrate the night: "What's more, Li Mu is still so young. When I die, he can still assist my son. How lucky I am, how lucky I am!"

Eunuch Gao was shocked. What did Your Majesty value Li Mu so much?

"High-ranking officials!" Li Shimin's voice suddenly became cold.

"I'm here!"

"I used to think of my brotherhood and did not want to do anything. But now it seems that Wei Zheng and others don't want me to think of this friendship. Forget it! Since I have raised the butcher's knife, I don't care about the name behind me. Let's continue to search for the descendants of the people left by Prince Yin. I would rather kill a thousand wrong things than let one go!"

"Kill me!"

...

Wei Zheng suddenly woke up from the nightmare, and his whole body was covered in cold sweat. The cold wind sucked into the quilt, and Pei also woke up. Looking at Wei Zheng who was sitting in a daze, he sighed: "Are you having a nightmare again?"

Wei Zheng nodded and said nothing.

Pei said angrily: "Are you still thinking about that? You can't think about your own daughter? Now that your daughter has been sent to the mansion of your opponent, are you not worried at all?"

"What's there to worry about?" Wei Zheng wiped the sweat from his face, lay down again, and said, "My daughter is at the age of getting married. She has feelings for Li Mu, so let her go. It's better to be unable to get married and follow me, a poor father."

When Pei heard this, he immediately became interested: "Old man, what do you mean?"

"You know everything, what else do you want to ask?"

Pei laughed, raised his hand and pounded Wei Zheng's shoulder, and said, "You are still scheming. Over the years, you have finally done something for this family."

Wei Zheng didn't want to say much, so he turned his back to Pei and said, "Sleep!"

Pei ignored him and was only happy. She was not worried about Li Mu's ability at all. She was a young man who could defeat his old man. No matter how bad he was, how bad could he be?

...

The Duke of Ju State.

Tang Jian and Sun had just lay down. After hearing about Li Mu, Sun had been crying until now. She wanted to see Li Mu, but was stopped by Tang Jian. Now the gate is closed. Besides, Li Mu has a miracle doctor to treat him and takes care of his wives and concubines. It is okay, but if there is something wrong, Sun could not change anything after he goes there, and he could only cry and cause trouble. It would be the same if he visits tomorrow.

Tang Jian was tired after struggling for a day, and snored for a while.

But Sun couldn't sleep.

In her heart, there has always been a secret that has been buried for many years. She has never talked about this secret to anyone, and even his own son has never talked about it.

Seventeen years ago, it was also this time.

At that time, she had been married to her husband Li Gan for two years and had never been pregnant. Mayi City was small and there was no decent doctor, so Li Gan took her to Lingzhou City.

There is a clinic in Lingzhou City, which is well-known far and wide. The couple took all their savings and went to the clinic for medical treatment. Unfortunately, they learned that Sun had miscarriage and had no chance of getting pregnant again in this life.

It was getting late that day, and the couple found a small inn to stay. In the chaotic times, the inn had no business. Apart from the couple, there was only one bearded guest. Strangely, he actually brought a child.

In the middle of the night, there was a fight. The couple was worried that it was a black shop to kill money, so they did not dare to stay in the house, so they came out of the house and hid in the stable.

Sun clearly remembered what he heard at that time.

"What does it mean to bring so many people here!"

"What does it mean? Don't you know, give me the child!"

"I have a bearded guest walking in the world, trustworthiness is the first priority, and loyalty will be the matter of loyal people. How can I exchange my children for you, a bandit?"

"Then I have to offend me, cousin! Come on! Kill him and steal the child!"

The bearded man jumped off the second floor of the inn with his child in his arms and fell into the stable. He saw the couple hiding in the corner of the stable. The situation was urgent. He glanced deeply at the two of them and threw the child into Sun's arms. Then he shouted loudly and fled in the opposite direction.

The group of horse bandits did not realize that the child was no longer in his arms, so they chased him, and soon there was no sound.
