Li Shimin suddenly looked a little embarrassed. After all, he was already the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. After being hurt by his own father, he was somewhat unable to get out of Taiwan. Fortunately, the main seat was still a distance away from the bottom, and Li Yuan did not make a big noise, and no one else heard it.

Li Shimin felt a little guilty about his father. After thinking about it, he would just forget it. He suppressed his temper and called Li Mu aside.

After breaking away from Li Yuan's sight, Li Mu felt a little unsure. He accompanied Li Shimin to a cold hall.

To say that the hall is cold and cold is relative to the lively Tai Chi Hall. In fact, this is not a cold palace. When you open the hall gate, you can see a group of Turkic people drinking and eating meat here. Although it is not as lively as the Tai Chi Hall, you can enjoy yourself.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, everyone stopped eating and drinking, and all looked at it. One of the pickled men saw Li Shimin, quickly stood up, saluted respectfully, and said, "Asina Simo, see His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

"The prince is not polite." Li Shimin helped Ashinasmo up and introduced him, saying, "This is my son and nephew, Li Mu, the Marquis of Zhulu. Don't you want to see him? I have brought it to you." After saying that, he introduced, and said, "This is what I have mentioned to you. General Ashinasmo, who came to Chang'an in his early years and was named Prince of Heshun by his father." After pausing, Li Shimin said, "It is also the regent of the Turkic people today."

"Looking for a long time..." Li Mu smiled and greeted him, but he noticed keenly that when Li Shimin said that Asuna Smo was the regent of the Turkic today, the faces of the people behind Asuna Smo were a little unnatural, and there was a vague sense of resentment. From this, Li Mu knew that although these people came from one, they were not from the same group. It seemed that there was a story here.

After hearing Li Shimin's introduction, Ashinasmo was shocked. He looked at Li Mu from top to bottom and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, if it weren't for your introduction, I would really be unbelievable. The famous Zhulu Hou was so old... It's admirable that Zhulu Hou is the pride of heaven!"

"Where are, generally, relying on the wise teachings of His Majesty." Li Mu said politely, "Why don't the general come here and sit in the main hall, but instead in this side hall..."

Ashin Simmo hurriedly said, "Your Majesty cannot be blamed for being accustomed to the hospitality. It is really because we are secretly coming. It will take a few days before we can show up publicly. I have no choice but to celebrate the New Year here." As he said, Ashin Simmo said, "Actually, the Turkic season is slightly different from the Central Plains. For the Turks, it is no big deal to spend the New Year."

"That's also because I am not in good health. Come on, I'll give you a cup."

"How dare..." Asanosmo said, he quickly picked up the wine glass and drank with Li Shimin. The others did not dare to come over. It was obvious that their identity and status were much different.

"Li Mu, I will introduce the Prince of Huaihua to you today. I guess you have guessed it almost the same. I have placed the Turkic tribe in Hetao, but the Turkic tribe was severely damaged, and the cattle, sheep, and grains were not enough. The death and injury were all counted, and I pity it. In the future, the Turkic tribes are also my people, and I have to consider their livelihoods for them. I am not as good as you in making money, so I want to introduce Prince of Huaihua to you to see if you have any solutions."

"It's the extreme, it's the extreme. I have heard that Zhulu Marquis was the God of Wealth in the Tang Dynasty. I will thank Your Majesty for not abandoning him and grant him the position of regent. I will naturally devote myself to it. I will be a rough man who can raise cattle and horses. I really have no choice but to ask the Marquis to give me advice. I will do my best to do it."

Li Mu knew this. This was probably the last time when Li Shimin talked to him about Du Ruhui's plan, he made a suggestion that some Turks could be moved in to be workers. Li Shimin should have adopted his opinion, but he was not very good at speaking, so he pushed this errand to him.

This matter was caused by Li Mu, so he had to take responsibility for this matter. Li Mu was not an irresponsible person, but this matter was very important, not something that could be explained in one sentence or two sentences. Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Since this matter was entrusted by Your Majesty, I have absolutely no reason to shirk it. I should do my best to open up a special passage with the Ministry of Internal Affairs to trade with the Turkic tribes, but the scope of this matter involved was too large, and it was not clear in one sentence or two sentences. I don't know when the general will leave Chang'an. I will arrange the time and ensure that the general will not be disappointed."

Asunasmo and Li Shimin looked at each other and said, "In three days, I will make an appearance publicly to visit the Supreme Emperor. Then I can meet the Marquis for the official meeting. The time for leaving is tentatively scheduled for the Yuan Dynasty. I wonder if the Marquis can take time out?"

"So, there is still half a month left and plenty of time. The general can handle other matters with confidence. Three days later, when you visit the Supreme Emperor, we will meet in heaven and earth."

"Okay, that's it."

Li Mu nodded, also brought up a glass of wine, drank with Asunasmo, and then left with Li Shimin.

In addition to this hall, Li Mu followed Li Shimin and returned to Tai Chi Palace. On the way, Li Shimin added something that Li Mu didn't know before: "Asinasimo came at dusk, and the people around him were Tuli's brothers. They were here to negotiate with me on this trip. Tuli's brothers originally wanted to see Jie Li, but were discovered by Asinasimo and chased me to rob me. It seems that in the Turkic tribe, there were still illusions about Jie Li, and this matter really made me unable to sleep or eat."

Li Mu wondered: "Why is Your Majesty like this? Didn't you say that Tuli and Jie Li's uncle and nephew are incompatible, how could Tuli's tribe have illusions about Jie Li?"

"The Turks' ideas are very different from us. The Turks, cunning people are cunning, and those with straight nature are straight. Although Tuli is not in line with Jie Li, Tuli's brothers may not have the same idea as him. Moreover, Tuli is dead, and the cause of death is unknown. Many Turks still believe that Tuli's death is related to us. Although Tuli is not in line with Jie Li, it is still a clan, and we are incomprehensible hatred with them. If it were me, I would believe in Jie Li, not the Tang Dynasty."

Li Mu frowned and said, "But I think your Majesty's behavior just now seems to trust Ashinasmo very much. Why is that?"

Li Shimin smiled and said, "I have dealt with this man Ashinasmo. He is the person I call a straight-minded person, and he will be convinced. If he doesn't follow, he will not obey no matter how he persuades him. But if he responds, there will be no reason to change. I have appointed him as the Turkic Regent, and since he has already done this job, he will not regret it. I have lived for half my life and have a very accurate understanding of people. You don't need to worry about this."

Seeing that Li Shimin was so confident, Li Mu nodded and said, "Since Your Majesty said that, I will do my best. After the past few days, I have dealt with the matter at hand, so I will start to deal with the affairs of the Turks. I also ask Your Majesty to send a copy of the existing information about the Turkic tribes I have collected. I will study it carefully and formulate a plan."

Li Shimin nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "I already have a constitution in my mind about the policy toward the Turks. I will copy it to you, and you don't need to worry. What I want you to think of is how to support the population. You just need to solve this problem."

"I understand."

As he spoke, the two of them had already arrived at the Tai Chi Hall. Li Shimin raised his hand to stop Li Mu and said, "Aren't you clamoring to go home? Go back, don't pretend to go back to deal with me. I know you have something to do tomorrow. I will go to see the polo game. If you have time, I will also go to see your ring. But I want to warn you one thing, don't go too far. In the past few days, many people have complained to me, saying that you have kidnapped their children, and I have suppressed them for you."

"Hmph, they still have the face to sue me behind my back, do I think I care about their waste son? If anyone feels distressed, don't say to me behind my back, just come and tell me to take it away. But the words must be made clear first. If anyone wants to come back tomorrow, don't blame me for not giving face."

Li Shimin laughed in silence and said, "You're talking too much, okay, go back."

"I'm leaving."

Li Mu turned around and walked down the steps. Suddenly, Li Shimin called him. Li Mu turned around and looked at Li Shimin and said, "Is there anything wrong with Your Majesty?"

"Li Mu, there is no one here. I will ask you one, you must answer honestly."

Li Mu was stunned for a moment and nodded.

"Crown Prince Meng Lang is not virtuous. If I go one day, will you strive to protect the prince?"

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "I will protect the will of Your Majesty."

Li Shimin laughed and said, "How do you know that the man is not the prince?"

"I believe that Your Majesty will definitely make the most wise decision."

Li Shimin let out a long sigh, not knowing what he was thinking, but after a long time, he said, "Don't worry, that person must be the prince. Go, I'm going to drink."

Li Mu frowned and said to himself, since that's the case, is it interesting to talk nonsense?

But then he thought again, everyone was like each other, how could he guess what Li Shimin was thinking?

But there is one thing that Li Mu has clearly realized. That is, he is so conspicuous now. The so-called wood is so beautiful that it will be destroyed by the wind in the forest. Now Li Shimin thinks about himself in everything and wants to discuss it with him. This is not a good thing.

It is easy to arouse jealousy from other people, such as a person with the surname Changsun. Moreover, from ancient times to the present, people with great achievements have not ended well.

It is too late to hide your weaknesses. Now the most important thing is to quickly cultivate a few talents, disperse the power in your hands, reassure the government and the people, and let Li Shimin rest assured. And you can also use this to be lazy and travel to the motherland to make up for the regret of not leaving the province in your previous life.
