“Huh?”

"Um--"

Li Shimin looked at it for a long time, frowned and said, "What a big deal of money and food construction, Wang Gui actually said that there was no need for the court to issue a cent, and the Wang family in Taiyuan was released. Haha--" Li Shimin turned the memorial over and transferred it over, looked carefully several times, checked the signing and seal, and confirmed that it was written by Wang Gui. It was difficult to understand: "Is it that Wang Shujie is so confused?"

Eunuch Gao said, "Your Majesty, since the King of Shizhong has such kindness, I feel that I can't feel cold to his heart."

Changsun Wuji said solemnly: "Eunuch Gao, this matter is very important and should not be hasty. If Your Majesty agrees, and he cannot take out the money and food at that time, how can he explain to the world?"

When Eunuch Gao heard this, he smiled sinisterly, "The memorial was written by Wang Shizhong himself. He said it clearly and clearly, and he would share the worries of Your Majesty. How could such a virtuous and upright minister be able to say it but not do it? This is the crime of deceiving the king. Wang Shizhong cannot be so Menglang."

The implication is that he said it himself. If he can't do it, he is deceiving the king. Hehe—

It is naturally impossible for Changsun Wuji to argue with a eunuch. No matter how high the eunuch is, he is still a slave. His perspective on how he considers things is only for the benefit of his master and will not consider the overall situation. But Changsun Wuji is different. His relationship with Li Shimin is a monarch and minister, not a slave. His starting point for his consideration is his own interests first.

Wang Gui didn't know what was going crazy, and he wanted to take out money and grain to build roads. For the court, this is of course a good thing. But it is not necessarily true for other aristocratic families. Everyone was the same, relying on the big tree of the court to develop their own power. Suddenly, the Wang family in Taiyuan jumped out to be a saint. What should you do if you let others do? Could it be that you should follow your example?

You want to go crazy, don’t involve others?

"Your Majesty, I think this matter should be cautious. As far as I know, the Wang family in Taiyuan is different from other aristocratic families. The clan leader is just a position. The one who is the real master is the elders of the Wang family, who call him elders. Everything must be gathered together to discuss the seizure. The money and food of the Wang family in Taiyuan are not something that Wang Shizhong himself can do. Although I don't know why the Wang Shizhong gave such a memorial, it was strange. If the Wang Shizhong couldn't get the money and food, he would commit the crime of deceiving the king. How should he deal with it? Does Your Majesty really want to kill him?"

Li Shimin pondered for a moment and said, "The auxiliary machine is right. I still have many places to rely on Wang Gui and cannot let him be reckless - let this be, high-ranking official, go and call Wang Gui, and I will ask him in person what it means."

"No." Eunuch Gao took the order and left. Changsun Wuji went back to continue reading the memorial. Li Shimin frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Auxiliary, I suddenly remembered Li Mu."

Changsun Wuji didn't hear it clearly and stood up and said, "What did Your Majesty say?"

"I said, I suddenly remembered this boy Li Mu for some reason." Li Shimin sighed and said, "I think that this memorial from Wang Gui is probably unrelated to Li Mu."

Changsun Wuji didn't understand and said, "Your Majesty, this is unlikely. Wang Gui shouldn't listen to Li Mu for such a big thing."

"I also think Wang Gui doesn't know...but I still think this matter is unrelated to Li Mu."

The teeth hurt again, Li Shimin was upset and shouted, "Come here, go to Zhulu Marquis' Mansion and call Li Mu over to me. If he is sick, he will carry it to me!"

Outside the hall agreed, Li Shimin covered his swollen cheeks and sighed, "Fuji, I love this Li Mu, and I hate him. If I hadn't seen him have some talent, I would have wished..."

Li Shimin gritted his teeth, and finally couldn't bear to say the word "kill". After being fierce for a long time, he muttered: "I must hit him hard!"

Changsun Wuji has been with Li Shimin for many years, but how can he not guess what he thinks, and said: "Your Majesty, now Your Majesty wants to punish Li Mu, I have to speak for him."

"Huh?" Li Shimin frowned and said, "Has this kid even bribed you?"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Your Majesty has forgotten that just the day before yesterday, my son had already worshipped him as his teacher."

"I have forgotten this when I had toothache in the past few days." Li Shimin also laughed, and suddenly remembered that Li Mu was still a professor at Chongwenguan, and said hatefully: "If you don't say it, I forgot. I asked him to take the time to come to Chongwenguan to teach Chengqian and Qingque, but he didn't teach him for a day. He really took my words as a warning. No, I can't let him do this. When he comes later, I will mention this matter."

Changsun Wuji's eyes rolled and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid Li Mu will cheat."

"He dares?!"

"Your Majesty forgot his three poems "The Way to Walk"?"

"..." Li Shimin pondered without saying a word. How could he forget that Li Mu held wine and recited poems to express his depression in his heart. He said it more than three times and he had to rest for a while, which he called it "winter vacation".

Li Mu should satisfy this request in terms of emotion and reason. However, Li Shimin is the emperor. What is the emperor? The emperor is everything in the world, and it must follow my wishes. Li Mu, you are wronged and tired. When you need to do things, you still have to do things for me.

There is naturally apology, as an elder. As an emperor, Li Shimin still thinks this is a matter of course.

Li Shimin pondered for a long time and said, "Li Mu is a sensible child. He knows what to do. Read the memorial. I am a little tired. Take a nap."

Changsun Wuji bowed and sat down to continue reading the memorial. He said this on purpose, but it was actually a bad thing. He was reminding Li Shimin that Li Mu was not a good minister.

Such reminders may have no value. But one day, when Li Shimin began to have an objection to Li Mu, these few words became useful.

No matter how solid the trust is, as long as there is the first crack, it will surely be shattered sooner or later.

...

When the eunuch came, Li Mu was talking about carriages and horses with Li Ying. Yesterday afternoon, Li Mu was studying bearings, so he did not send anyone to find Li Ying. This morning, he happened to have time, so he came to Li Ying.

After Li Mu took out the "design drawings" of the iron-packed iron-packed truck and promised its sturdiness, Li Ying readily agreed to all Li Mu's proposal. The Li family of Zhaojun would pay money to purchase a new iron-packed truck from the factory of the Ministry of Industry for transportation between Taiyuan and Xi'an.

Just as Li Mu discussed with Li Ying whether he could find a way to get some camels from the Western Regions, Zhao Youcai came to report. He heard that he was summoning the palace, and Li Ying was also a striking person. He hurriedly said goodbye. Before leaving, he repeatedly said that he would find a way to get a solution to the camel and report it to Li Mu if he had any clues.

Li Mu guessed why the palace summoned him. This was what he wanted to do, so he didn't make any trouble. He asked the two generals of He Ha to prepare a carriage and follow the eunuch into the palace. Because Li Mu had the privilege of riding a horse and driving a carriage in the imperial city, his carriage stopped until he reached the entrance of the palace.

Li Mu got off the carriage and was already planning to walk to Tai Chi Palace. Unexpectedly, Li Shimin prepared a chasing for a chasing. He was not polite and sat on the chasing, covered his legs with animal skins, and was carried to Tai Chi Palace staggeringly.

After chasing her down, Li Mu saw Eunuch Gao waiting at the door. When Eunuch Gao saw Li Mu, she was filled with smiles from a distance. It seemed that the favorability brought by the three "yellow croakers" had not expired. Li Mu was hunched over and looked weak, slowly moved to the door, silently chanting "exchange" in his heart, and exchanged a small "yellow croaker" from the system. He covered it with the hand that Eunuch Gao helped him over and stuffed it into his hand.

When the little ‘yellow croaker’ was bought, the unique touch of gold made Eunuch Gao tell the difference immediately. Eunuch Gao’s face smiled even more and said repeatedly: “Mr. Marquis is still so polite.”

"Oh, Eunuch Gao, how do you know my troubles? My money! It has no place to spend it!"

When Eunuch Gao heard this, he almost rolled his eyes out. But there was nothing to do. Who made people really rich? Although it sounds like a pretentious thing, if it is true, it cannot be said that people are pretentious.

Eunuch Gao smiled and said, "When the Marquis is troubled again in the future, our family is willing to share the worries of the Marquis."

"It's easy to say." Li Mu responded casually, and Eunuch Gao helped him push open the hall door, went in first, and said, "Your Majesty, Zhulu Hou has arrived."

"Let him in."

Li Mu flashed into the Tai Chi Hall, and saw that Wang Gui was already there. Seeing Li Mu come in, Wang Gui secretly gave him a wink. Li Mu didn't understand what he meant at all, but he also returned an understanding look.

When Changsun Wuji saw the two of them "expressing their emotions" and said in his heart, it turns out that this matter was really right for His Majesty. It was Li Mu's fault! What exactly did he want to do? He cheated the gentry in a different way? No, he cheated the gentry, and there were traces to follow. Wang Gui followed him to coax him. He was the gentry. Do you want to poach himself? He lost his heart and madness?

When Li Shimin saw Li Mu coming, he glanced at him and said to Eunuch Gao: "Create a Hu chair for Li Mu. His injuries have not healed yet. Let him sit and answer."

Eunuch Gao responded and went to look for the "Hu Chair". Jindun had some, but Li Shimin called for the "Hu Chair", so he could not deal with Jindun. Hu Chair was wide and had a backrest, so it was much more comfortable to sit than Jindun.

Changsun Wuji and Wang Gui were a little embarrassed when they saw this scene. They came for a long time and were still standing. Although Changsun Wuji had a seat, he was just a cushion. He was kneeling on his knees and watching memorials, so he was not as comfortable as a chair. Li Shimin is really extraordinary to treat Li Mu now, and he compared them to the two third-rank officials.

Li Mu is also a good actor. When he heard Li Shimin say this, he quickly wanted to bend down and salute: "How can I dare to accept this from Your Majesty..."

"Okay, I don't know what kind of character you are? I have a toothache today and I'm too lazy to talk more. Just sit down if I let you sit."

"Ahem, then... I'll thank Your Majesty."

Eunuch Gao came back at the right time, put down Hu's chair, Li Mu sat up and faced Li Shimin through the table. Changsun Wuji on the left and Wang Gui on the right, the two prime ministers, seemed to be his deputy.

Li Shimin obviously didn't think so much. He threw Wang Gui's memorial to Li Mu and asked him to see it, and said to Wang Gui: "My dear, keep talking."

Wang Gui continued: "Your Majesty, my meaning is written very clearly in the memorial. The reason for me to build the road is due to the need of the Tang Dynasty's mining industry. The secondary reason is also to facilitate the connection between Taiyuan and Chang'an. Your Majesty, now the five capitals of the state, Chang'an, Luoyang, Fengxiang, Fengxiang, Shujun, and Taiyuan, can be named "the capital". It is obvious that it is important. Now, the road between Taiyuan and Chang'an is rugged and difficult to move, and both the people's livelihood and military aspects are urgently needed."

As he spoke, Wang Gui's voice became much louder and said generously: "Your Majesty, I know that my Tang Dynasty is in ruins and the national treasury is not full. Your Majesty has to take out the treasury for the sake of the country. As your Majesty's minister, it is really hard to rest in this situation. Therefore, I convinced the elders of the clan to take out all the remaining grains from the Wang clan in Taiyuan and use them all for road construction. It is also considered that the Wang clan in Taiyuan has achieved some meager strength for the court and for Your Majesty. I sincerely hope that Your Majesty will be able to be approved!"

Li Shimin glanced at Li Mu, as if asking Li Mu if he had finished reading the memorial. Li Mu put the memorial back on the table, nodded, and said that he had finished reading it. The content of the memorial was no different from what Wang Gui said. From beginning to end, he was saying that the Wang family in Taiyuan was willing to go out to buy food and build roads without the court's slightest writing, and did not mention anything in return.

This is very different from what Li Mu and Wang Pu said, but it shows Wang Gui's methods.

He said he didn't want to give back, wouldn't he really have no reward?

Won't.

Because Li Shimin can't afford such a big favor.

The people's livelihood matters such as the construction of roads should be done by the court, that is, the Li family. What does it have to do with the Wang family in Taiyuan? Logically speaking, Wang Gui is a substitute, but people can explain it clearly that this is a way to share the worries of the king and for the country. As an emperor, how can he refuse?

If they refuse, they will lose the people's hearts. The people will not think about how much there is. They will only think that the court has no money to build roads, and the Wang family in Taiyuan wants to build roads, but the court will not allow it. The court is really a trash, and the emperor is a fool!

If you agree, why?

There is no effort in this world for no reason. The Wang family in Taiyuan has put in such great efforts that they must have rewards, that is, rewards.

Besides, other nobles from other families and other families will not agree.

Just like Changsun Wuji was worried, once this opening was opened, it would become loyalty if he contributed money and effort to the court. On the contrary, if he did not contribute money and effort to the court, he would be disloyal. Who dared to bear this "crime"?

But if everyone is free, why? The whole world's surname is Li, not Changsun, not Lu, not Zheng, why should I pay for your Li Tang's country?

Therefore, there is no need to discuss it. All the nobles of aristocratic families except the Wang family in Taiyuan will come up with various reasons to prevent "free". Even if the Wang family in Taiyuan does not want to give it back, it will be for themselves.
