Changsun Wuji was in the court most of the time. Because in his identity, if you have any questions, you can say when you help Li Shimin read the memorial, there is no need to take risks in front of all officials. If you open your mouth and are rejected by the emperor, it will damage his prestige. It is precisely because of this that Changsun Wuji gave people the illusion that he could either fail to speak, and he could make a final decision by opening his mouth.

But today, Changsun Wuji was not angry with Li Shimin. So after he finished speaking, he regretted it for a while, but even if he regretted it, he had to say these words. If Li Shimin didn't say it, it would be a golden word and a jade word that could not be changed. Even if he could convince Li Shimin, he would not be able to change anything. Should he let the emperor take back what he said? What is the emperor's majesty?

So he must say that he must also risk offending the emperor's brother-in-law!

Liangyi Palace was silent, and all eyes were projected between Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji, the king and minister. Li Shimin looked at Changsun Wuji, and Changsun Wuji also looked at Li Shimin. After a long time, Li Shimin's lips curled up a curve, and if he smiled meaningfully, he then withdrew his eyes and said, "The auxiliary is reasonable. This matter should not be too rush. I am tired today. I will discuss it tomorrow. What do you think of this? When you go back, you will write a memorial to leave."

After saying that, Li Shimin waved his hand and left on his own.

Eunuch Gao shouted to the court with a sharp voice, and all the officials left the hall one by one.

Changsun Wuji sweated like rain. He noticed Li Shimin's smile. Others may not know what it means, but Changsun Wuji grew up with Li Shimin. He knew very well the meaning of Li Shimin's every move. Only when he was really angry would Li Shimin smile like that. Moreover, this smile also means that he had made up his mind. He did not issue an order on the spot today, which was to give him face, but most of the matter has been settled!

Changsun Wuji looked back at Li Mu. He thought Li Mu would be proud, but Li Mu looked no more proud. He was curling his lips and provoking the people of the Censorate. He usually looked like this, but he still looked like this today.

Changsun Wuji couldn't help but wonder, was this matter really not the commander of Li Mu? Is this matter the idea of ​​Your Majesty?

Just when he was confused, Wang didn't know when he stood beside him. Changsun Wuji withdrew his gaze and looked at him, frowned and said, "What are you doing? Look at my joke?"

"Uncle Guo, when is it now, let's stop arguing! Let's think about what to do. I will hold a banquet in the mansion tonight. Can I enjoy the glory?"

Due to different factions, Changsun Wuji never went to the banquet at the royal palace, and the king rarely invited him. But this time, Li Mu, or the emperor's butcher's knife, had already been put on their necks. No matter which faction, they had to unite to compete with the imperial power.

Changsun Wuji hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay."

The king let out a long sigh and said, "Thank you, uncle!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Gao left and returned, saying, "Master Zhulu stayed and your Majesty summoned him!"

Everyone who had not yet walked out of the hall looked at Li Mu. Li Mu was stunned for a moment and smiled and said, "Oh, why did Your Majesty summon me again? Didn't you just see me yesterday? It's really... Alas, you don't even let your breath breathe!"

Everyone listened with their ears, and suddenly they had countless reverie.

What does this mean? I just saw it yesterday? Could it be that Your Majesty gave me the opportunity? Yes, it must be!

Many people's expressions changed drastically! If Li Mu had oppose the clans, with the energy of the clans, they would unite and be confident that they could beat Li Mu this time. But if Li Shimin's intention was to be under the imperial power, it would not have been possible for the clans to wrestle. After all, the millions of heroic troops in the world were also named Li!

Wang and Changsun Wuji could hear it clearly, and their faces became even more ugly. Especially Changsun Wuji, he had a premonition that this time he seemed to have made a wrong and outrageous decision. Everything about Changsun's family came from the holy family. If the saint family lost, Changsun family was nothing. If the matter today is not handled well, it will create a crack in his relationship with Li Shimin. Once the crack occurs, it will always exist even if it is compensated later.

Changsun Wuji took a deep breath and said to Wang: "Sorry, I suddenly felt dizzy. I can't attend the banquet tonight."

Wang suddenly became anxious: "Uncle Guo, I just agreed to it well, why..."

Changsun Wuji waved his hand, stopped listening to the king's words, and walked out of the hall with great strides. The king looked at his back and sighed helplessly, without any hope for the banquet tonight.

...

Tai Chi Hall.

When he arrived outside the hall gate, Eunuch Gao stopped and signaled Li Mu to push the door and go in. Li Mu looked at Eunuch Gao, and Eunuch Gao avoided his sight. Li Mu knew that Li Shimin must be in a bad mood now.

At this time, Li Mu really didn't want to see Li Shimin, and grinned, "Eunuch Gao, can we do this? I just say that my stomach hurts, I, I..."

"Get in!"

Eunuch Gao shrugged his shoulders and looked helpless.

Li Mu sighed, pushed open the hall door, and walked in with a tough bullet.

Li Mu glanced at the porcelain pieces scattered all over the ground, and the two huge porcelain bottles placed next to the table were already broken into pieces. Li Mu couldn't help feeling a little sad. If he had the opportunity to travel back, these two porcelain bottles from the Zhenguan period would have to be worth tens of millions. It would be a pity to break them into this way.

"What's your expression?" Li Shimin was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. He was worried that he could not find the exit. Seeing Li Mu's face strange, he immediately came to him and said angrily: "Are you laughing at me? I laugh at me, all the civil and military officials in the court want to go against me, I laugh at me for not being able to control my ministers, and even my brother-in-law doesn't have the same heart and virtue as me? You said, do you think so?!"

"Oh," Li Mu bowed and said, "Your Majesty has wronged the dead minister. Anyone may think so, but the ministers don't."

"Ha, are you saying you are more loyal than them? What's the credential?"

Li Mu held back and refused to look at Li Shimin with the look of a fool, spread his hands and said, "Your Majesty, is this too much? The idea is what I think. If I am not loyal, how could I want to weaken the clan for Your Majesty? Isn't your Majesty confused?"

Li Shimin was stunned, and suddenly felt a little stupid and looked a little embarrassed. After a long time, he sighed, pointed to the chair that was originally prepared for Changsun Wuji to read the memorial, and signaled Li Mu to sit down.

Li Mu was not polite, so he sat down directly. No matter whose seat it was, it was enough to sit. How tired he was standing.

Li Shimin sighed and said, "I am angry, how can I not be angry? Changsun Wuji! I and him..." Suddenly, Li Shimin gritted his teeth and sighed again, saying, "Forget it, what are you talking about? I'm just cold. This person has changed, he has changed!" Li Shimin looked at Li Mu and repeated, "He has changed, can you understand what I mean?"

Li Mu nodded violently and said, "I understand that Your Majesty has felt betrayal. But I also advised Your Majesty, this is normal. Think about it, the uncle is not alone, there are also thousands or eight hundred people in the Changsun family? Even if the uncle is loyal to His Majesty, as the head of the family, he must always care about his family. After all, there are not many ministers like me who are selfless and shine and heat only for His Majesty."

Li Shimin automatically filtered out Li Mu's self-proclaimed and said, "You have a reasonable point. I don't blame him for his family's sake. What I am really angry about is...ah,"

Li Shimin organized a few words and continued: "Even if the Changsun family lost the interests this time, he should understand that everything about the Changsun family comes from me! He is loyal to me, will I still lose him? What is lost here will be replenished there. But he is the first to stand up to oppose me and ruin my affairs! He has changed! It has really changed!"

"..." Li Mu didn't know how to answer this. With Empress Changsun here, as long as Changsun Wuji did not rebel, no matter what happened, the final result would be to forgive him. So Li Mu could not give him eye drops, otherwise he would definitely offend Empress Changsun. He would never do such stupid things.

Li Mu thought about it and decided to distract the topic, otherwise this would continue endlessly.

"Your Majesty, let's talk about the important matters. What do you think of me for my immature advice?"

"I'm about to tell you." After all, Li Shimin is not a foolish monarch. Although he is angry, it will not affect the serious matter: "Do you really don't know or pretend to be confused? There are no idle fat fields? Although those fields are not in the accounts, they are actually cultivated by large clans. Otherwise, where did those grain merchants get so much food?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, how could I not know? Of course I am pretending to be confused. If I don't pretend to be confused, can I lead them into my trap and make them in a dilemma?"

"Don't be proud." Li Shimin said seriously: "The dispute between verbalism cannot solve the problem. If they are forced into a hurry and the fields are really deserted, the world will be short of food. Do you have a complete solution?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I don't want to take back the fields. I just want them to pay taxes according to the real number."

"Pay tax?" Li Shimin laughed and said, "How is this possible? They will never admit it!"

Li Mu pretended to be puzzled and said, "Why don't you admit it?"

"If they admit it, they have violated the court's laws and given me a statement, are they stupid?"

"Well..." Li Mu did not refute or explain, but asked: "Your Majesty, if I have a way to collect all the taxes and increase the arable land in the world by 10%, will Your Majesty be willing to give this matter to me?"

Li Shimin frowned and said, "You are boasting, this is impossible."

"Your Majesty, how can you know if you don't give it a try? If Your Majesty is not at ease, otherwise you will not come forward and ask me to make trouble. If you make trouble, you will say that it is your Majesty's instructor. If you make trouble, you will say that it is your Majesty's judgment on your mind. At worst, you will be punished for your crime. I am willing to be punished."

Li Shimin seemed a little moved, thought for a while, and said, "I will not compete with you for credit. If the matter is done, I will record your head. But if it fails, in the eyes of outsiders, you will play with me and all the officials in the applause. Even if I don't want to punish you, I will punish you. Have you thought about it?"

Li Mu was confident and said, "I want to give it a try!"

"Okay!" Li Shimin was very happy to see Li Mu's confidence and said, "How do you need me to cooperate?"

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty can only be sick for three days. Oh, and there is also a decree. He said that he would order me to calculate the imperial property, so that's enough."

Li Shimin said suspiciously: "It's that simple?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "It's that simple, but there is only one thing that requires extra attention. Since Your Majesty is sick, pretend to be a little bit like that. Never see anyone, including the uncle. Why not see him like this? Your Majesty and the emperor's descendant's valley for three days? It's just right to cultivate one's own character and relax."

Li Shimin thought to himself that this is good, and he can see Li Mu every day and grasp the progress of the matter. But he did not agree easily, because before he discussed with Empress Changsun, he said, "There is no hurry to do this. You go and do your business first. I have asked the queen and then send someone to notify you."

"promise."

Li Mu dismissed. Li Shimin looked at the porcelain pieces all over the ground and was in a bad mood. Just as he was about to ask the eunuch to come in and clean the ground, Eunuch Gao came in again and whispered: "Your Majesty, the uncle is asking for a meeting."

"Call him" Li Shimin was about to say 'Call him in', but suddenly remembered Li Mu's words and changed his words: "If you ask him to go back, you will say that I am in good health. Also, I will notify all officials that I am in bad health and need treatment in urgent need of treatment. I will stop for three days."

"Stop the court? This..." Eunuch Gao was startled, but he didn't dare to say it, for fear of losing the reputation of a eunuch interfering in politics, so he pursed his lips and swallowed the words, turned around and retreated.

Li Shimin picked up his pen and wrote an order with his own hand, asking the eunuch to send it to the Secretariat. He then left Tai Chi Hall and went to Lizheng Hall to discuss the matter of going to the valley.

After hearing Eunuch Gao's words, Changsun Wuji's expression was a little stiff.

In his memory, this was the first time he was turned away by Li Shimin. It was like a basin of cold water pouring on his head, making him feel much more awake.

It took a long time before Changsun Wuji came to his senses. He took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and stuffed it into Eunuch Gao's hand, and asked, "How is Your Majesty's body? What does the imperial doctor say?"

"This..." All of them are discerning people. Eunuch Gao is unwilling to act. He squeezes out a smile and says, "Mr. Guo understands in his heart that our family doesn't say those excuses. This time, the uncle did something wrong, and His Majesty Long Yan is furious. No matter how many words, our family is not inconvenient to say it, only one good reminder."

Changsun Wuji hurriedly said, "Please speak."
