Chapter 413 Louder than Who?
"I think who dares to fight?"
At the gate of the palace, Li Mu stared at one of Eunuch Gao's godsons, with a bad expression. The little eunuch was also in trouble. It was his turn to serve the Tai Chi Hall today. As soon as Li Shimin opened his golden mouth, he asked the Marquis Zhulu out of the palace. When Eunuch Gao heard this, he looked up at the sky. As his godson, he showed his usefulness at this time. The matter of beating Li Mu fell on his head.
But does he dare to fight?
Who is this master? The dignified Marquis of Zhulu! The uncle and the minister dare not provoke him easily, let alone a small eunuch? But the emperor's order cannot be violated. Li Shimin made it clear. What should I do if I want to knock Li Mu out of the palace gate?
If he can't afford to fight, he will be punished by death. If he doesn't fight, he will be a death sentence. In desperation, he had to follow Li Mu with his imperial guards and a court stick. If he didn't know, he even thought he was sending Li Mu out of the palace.
He reached the palace gate and saw Li Mu going out, and it would be too late to fight. The little eunuch had no choice but to bite the bullet and whispered a request. Sure enough, he was threatened by Li Mu.
The little eunuch's voice trembled, and he didn't dare to look up at Li Mu: "Mr. Marquis, don't make things difficult for me, just hit me gently. If Marquis is angry, will he beat me ten times later?"
"Wu, do you think this marquis is like some foolish monarchs, and he always beats people?" Li Mu said, grabbed the court stick and came up on his forehead, threw it on the ground, and said, "Get out."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" The little eunuch picked up the court stick and ran away, fearing that he would stay for a while, and he would be caught and beaten by Li Mu.
"It seems like I am a villain!" Li Mu sighed to the sky: "...Who is the pain in his heart telling me, for the sake of the forced life... tears are swallowed into his stomach~ Is this fate, destined to live in that world for the rest of his life..."
Holding back her tears, Li Mu climbed onto the carriage, lay on the bed inside the carriage, sighing and pitying himself.
Dugu Jiu shook his whip and the carriage slowly moved. When he heard him muttering, he couldn't help asking: "Brother, you saw that you were very energetic when you came. Why are you feeling like this now and you are having trouble with Your Majesty?"
"He is just a foolish monarch! His loyal words are unpleasant and he can't listen to people's words at all!"
Dugu Jiu was stunned and said to himself, Your Majesty can't listen to others. Could it be that all the civil and military officials in the court are not human? The eldest brother is worthy of being the eldest brother, and his level of cursing has improved a lot recently!
“What happened?”
"Isn't it just..." Li Mu told the story as if he was pouring beans. Dugu Jiu had already known a lot after following him all day. But he didn't take it seriously. After hearing what Li Mu said, he straightened the matter straight.
He is Li Mu's brother, so he naturally believes in him very much. Moreover, he is a young master and knows nothing about farming. He has no idea what crop yields per mu. He believes in as much as Li Mu says, without any common sense, just judges from quantity.
He heard from Li Mu that Li Shimin gave up crops with higher yields and didn't even want to try them. He was a little angry. He refused to accept good words. What is this a foolish lord!
"Brother, you are right. Since Your Majesty does not allow it, let's do it yourself. I will go home later and tell my father that there is no need for a large army of the imperial court in Zhenla Funan. My Dugu family has thousands of young and strong people, which is enough to be flattened."
"I don't have to worry about you, I have my own way." Li Mu rejected Dugu Jiu's proposal, not to mention whether his father Dugu Xiude would agree to do this. Even if he was willing, Li Mu could not owe such a big favor. This is not a small matter. At least the opposite side is a country. Even if the combat power is weak, it may be difficult to win with the power of a clan alone.
I still have to think of some solutions, and I slowly draw it... Suddenly, a thought came out and Li Mu laughed unkindly.
...
Zhao Duke’s Mansion.
Changsun Wuji went out to do business. As soon as he returned home, he asked the housekeeper next to him where Changsun was. When the housekeeper heard this, he smiled helplessly and said, "When you say the master, the prince is not in the house."
"Not in the mansion?" Changsun Wuji frowned, and immediately thought of something, and asked, "Has he gone to Li Mu?"
The housekeeper shook his head and said, "No, the prince went out as soon as you left the mansion in the morning. He did not take a car or ride a horse, but ran out of the city. I sent someone to follow the prince and found out that he had returned to the valley again,... in..."
Changsun Wuji looked unkind and said, "What are he going to do?!"
"Login, mortise and tenon... It is said that the construction period is too late, so you have to hurry up."
"This is a bastard!" Changsun Wuji turned around and walked out, got on the carriage again, and said, "Go, leave the city!"
As soon as the carriage moved, Changsun Wuji said again: "Stop, turn around, go to Jingdongji, I'll go to Li Mu to reason with you!"
The groom had no choice but to turn around and rush to Jingdongji.
As with him, Wang Gui was also Wang Pu. As if he had agreed, Wang Pu did the same thing as Changsun Chong. Wang Gui came to Wang Pu's house to find him, and rushed to the room and asked the housekeeper. The housekeeper said that he had gone out, but he had waited for a morning and could not wait for Wang Pu to come back. After repeated inquiries, the housekeeper revealed the truth. It turned out that Wang Pu had also gone to the valley, but the work he did was different from Changsun Chong. Changsun Chong was from the "carpentry group", while Wang Pu was from the "civilization group". He did not do mortise and tenon, but dug a hole.
Wang Gui and Wang Pu are brothers who are nearly forty years old. In his eyes, Wang Pu is like a son. How could he bear to let his old brother do craftsmanship? In an anxious mood, he didn't care about anything and went straight to Jingdong Ji.
In contrast, the Duke of Ju State's Mansion is much quieter because Tang Guan never left the room after he came back. He has been writing the Romance of the Three Kingdoms talked about by Li Mu, and at the same time summarizing the plot of "Dream of Red Mansions". He plans to divide these two stories into chapters and publish them in the "Da Tang Daily" for Li Mu. At the same time, he is also preparing a plan, which is to teach the "journalist" in Chang'an City, so that they can tell these two stories more.
He was originally the editor of the "Datang Daily" and the first person to accept Li Mu's theory of "public opinion power". He believed that as long as he did it well, it would definitely be a good thing. As for what effect it would have, he didn't know, but good things would be certain.
Of course, there are not only Wang Pu and Changsun Chong who are working in the valley. There are many more, but their fathers or elders don’t have the courage to go to Li Mu to reason with him.
...
When Li Mu returned home, he saw two carriages parked at the door. He recognized both carriages, sighed and muttered to climb out of the car.
"I also wondered why my eyelids kept beating. It turned out that the two of you arrived. What are you asking me for? I am in a low mood now. Oh, I don't want to do it anymore. This tyrant monarch and treacherous minister in the court are in power, and a great man is not allowed to display his ambitions. Alas, it's so pitiful and lamentable!"
Li Mu sat in the chair, and before they could speak, he muttered himself. He didn't sit there, and slid down the back of the chair to the bottom, showing a decadent death.
When the two of them heard this, their brows frowned. The tyrant lord and treacherous ministers? The four words seemed to have cursed all the civil and military officials of the court and His Majesty. This is what Li Mu dared to say. As important officials of the court, Changsun Wuji is Li Shimin's brother-in-law. It would be fine if they could not hear it. How could they be compatible when they heard it? He immediately lowered his face and said, "Li Mu, why are you talking nonsense? Your Majesty is one of the few wise and holy lords. Do you think he is a fool? Are you not afraid that Your Majesty will know how to punish you?"
Li Mu turned his head lazily, glanced at Changsun Wuji, and said, "My good uncle, here are the three of us. If it spreads, it will be what you two said. Just say, I'm not afraid. Anyway, I'll let Your Majesty knock out of the palace gate. Are you afraid of being beaten again? Tell me, all the treacherous ministers like to complain behind my back. I understand, it doesn't matter."
"Who do you think is the treacherous minister? Li Mu, you are so arrogant!"
"Oh, what are you calling?" Li Mu said indifferently: "Your Majesty, I'm not afraid, I'm still afraid of you? Treacherous ministers, traitors, traitors, I'm not upset today, I'm not happy! I can't afford to offend you, but if you dare to bully me, I'll bully your son, who's afraid of whom!"
"You!" Changsun Wuji felt sad when he thought of his son's current appearance. He was so sad. He was so fat, after less than a month in Li Mu's hands, he lost dozens of pounds as if he had been reborn! How much sin did he suffer!
Changsun Wuji came from the sadness and said angrily: "If you don't mention my son, just mention him. I'm about to say! What's wrong with my son? Look at his current appearance, he's like a person. I'll lose dozens of pounds. You're so cruel. The New Year is approaching and all the yamen are on holidays. Do you want him to go to the valley to work as a coolie for you? He is not a carpenter, he is my son! Are you too much?"
Wang Gui was cunning and cunning. When he saw Changsun Wuji talk about it first, he didn't say anything. Today, Li Mu's face was not good. It would be better not to provoke him. It would be better to wait and see if he changes. Anyway, it's the same problem.
"Ha!" Li Mu glanced at Changsun Wuji and said, "What if he was a carpenter? At least he could do a quick job! It's not me, uncle, your baby son is very stupid! Just say run, he ran back and forth, and he could only finish it on time. Now it's better. In the first few days, he just left, and he was not running? He was so clumsy! To be honest, the craftsmen I sent to teach their carpenters don't like to teach your son, and they learn too slowly!"
"Has he gone to work in the valley? Haha, he is quite attentive. Diligence can make up for his shortcomings. He learns slowly than others. If he doesn't work harder, he will be a waste."
"Li Mu!" Changsun Wuji stood up suddenly, pointed at Li Mu's nose and said, "Don't be too presumptuous! Changsun Chong is my son, how can you allow you to insult him wantonly?"
