In the early morning, the Zheng Hall was established.

Li Shimin rested here last night and was about to finish breakfast and go to court. Suddenly, Eunuch Gao came from the gate of the hall, came to Li Shimin near, and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Empress, Marquis Zhulu is waiting outside the hall."

Since Li Mu became the chief minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he had the right to enter and exit the palace at will. This kind of power is even more favorable than the uncle Changsun Wuji. Changsun Wuji had to inform him first when he came to the harem, while Li Mu was exempted from this link and just went straight outside the hall to wait.

"Let him come in." Li Shimin said, pointing to the table again: "Get another pair of bowls and chopsticks."

"No," Eunuch Gao responded, feeling very envious. How did this holy relative behave? Is Your Majesty in the court looking at you a holy relative? In the eyes of those who have been following Li Shimin for more than 20 years, this is not a holy relative, at most it is just an emperor's plan. The real holy relative is like Li Mu, who does not treat you as an outsider at all. This is something that even envy cannot even envy.

Eunuch Gao turned around and went out. Li Mu came in with a smile. Seeing Li Shimin having a meal, he rubbed his hands and came over. This was obvious, so he almost got started. Li Shimin pointed to Jindun brought to him by the palace maid. Li Mu was not polite, thanked him and sat down.

"What happened to come to the palace so early?"

"Reply to Your Majesty," Li Mu tore a bun open, stuffed it into his mouth for half a pull, and said in a vague way: "I'm here to decorate your Majesty today... I'm here."

Li Shimin didn't understand and said, "What does it mean? What decoration?"

Li Mu swallowed the steamed buns and said, "Don't Your Majesty envy the glass windows in my house? I remember them in my heart. These days, I have nothing to do, so I have worked overnight and finally made a batch of glass. It is not enough to change all the glass in the palace, but it is still barely enough to change one hall. The worker minister has already brought it and is waiting outside the palace. Your Majesty, see which hall to change? Now the construction is started. When the palace is in ban at night, it will be almost done."

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were both surprised and looked at Li Mu strangely. When I mentioned this last time, if I remember correctly, Li Mu deliberately opened up the topic and also said a fallacy, "What is the uneven distribution?" I don't want to change Liuli, so why are you here today?

Li Shimin frowned and said, "What's your idea? If you don't explain it clearly, I will not accept your bribe."

Li Mu laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you really can't hide anything from your eyes. I don't hide it from you. Actually, that's the case. Remember the matter of the Zhenla mission. Didn't the tribute from Zhenla Kingdom be intercepted?" Seeing that Queen Changsun showed doubts, Li Mu quickly explained: "Your Majesty knows this, we agreed."

Li Shimin nodded and said, "This is true. The elephant in the valley is the tribute of Zhenla. I have agreed with Li Mu that it will all belong to him."

Empress Changsun smiled and said nothing.

Li Mu continued: "In addition to elephants and rhinos, there are some things, agarwood, yellow wax, etc., which is useless to keep. I took them to the East Market and sold them for more than 100,000 yuan..."

Li Shimin widened his eyes and said, "What did you say? One hundred thousand coins?"

"More than one hundred thousand coins," Li Mu corrected.

Li Shimin's face suddenly turned red and he was about to repent. Empress Changsun hurriedly grabbed him and signaled him to pay attention to his majesty. The emperor said the truth and did not recognize what he said. If he broke his promise for more than 100,000 yuan, would he still have prestige?

Li Mu explained: "I don't know it's so valuable. I asked the merchants who bought it and said it was a long way to go. Our Tang Dynasty did not have the things there. This thing is rare and the price is high. I think it's a bit hot—"

Li Shimin snorted: "It's good that you know!"

"...Those dog censors will definitely not let the ministers go. Instead of being impeached by them, it is better to burn them! Everyone will split up and no one will spend it!"

"Burn?" Li Shimin didn't understand and said, "How to burn money? Can copper be burned?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "I have replaced it with silver, and then used it to practice glass. Didn't I tell Your Majesty that I have to use silver to make glass. I exchanged all of these income for silver, and then burned them all into glass and presented it to Your Majesty. Let's see what else can those dog censors say!"

"More than 100,000 guan, you burned it into glass?" Li Shimin suddenly felt a lot of pain in his heart, subconsciously covered it, stared at Li Mu's eyes, and said, "You prodigal son!"

Li Mu shrugged and said, "Your Majesty, you have a good money anyway. If you burn it, just burn it. If you don't have this money, your Majesty will not have glass windows, right? As the emperor, how could you not live in a palace with glass windows? This is unreasonable. Your Majesty, don't make yourself too much trouble, you have to enjoy it."

"I..." Li Shimin covered his chest and sighed: "I would rather replace it with swords, guns and horses, I..."

The tree has been completed, and the silver that has changed into glass cannot be returned. Empress Changsun had no choice but to persuade him, "Your Majesty, I think Li Mu is saying something reasonable. If it weren't for this kind of money, Your Majesty would probably never take money out of the treasury to make glass windows. Since Li Mu has done it, don't worry about your Majesty. When it's time to enjoy it, enjoy it."

"Oh..." Li Shimin sighed, looked at Li Mu, and said, "Can you make a total of one palace?"

"Actually, it's the size of two halls, but... the Supreme Emperor saw it and was about to go halfway to decorate the heavens and earth."

"Oh..." Li Shimin felt a little distressed again. If the size of two halls was the size of the Taiji Hall and the Lizheng Hall, but now there was only one hall left. Li Shimin hesitated for a moment and said, "Empress, let's decorate the Lizheng Hall. I will wait until I have enough money."

Empress Changsun hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, there are few outsiders coming to Lizheng Hall, so it doesn't matter, so it's better to decorate the Tai Chi Hall."

"It's still the Hall of Reincarnation."

"Your Majesty is still the Tai Chi Palace."

The couple gave in to each other, and Li Mu felt a little upset when he looked at each other. If he had known that the glass was made of sand, he would not know if he would kill him.

"Your Majesty, Queen, stop fighting, listen to me."

Li Shimin looked at Li Mu: "What's the point?"

"Your Majesty, I'm thinking about it, why not...How about Liangyi Palace?"

"Rongyi Palace?"

"Yes!" Li Mu pointed to the direction of Liangyi Hall and said, "Your Majesty, Liangyi Hall is the place where you go to court. All officials will pay their respects to Your Majesty. The envoys of the foreign countries will pay their respects to Your Majesty there. This is the face of the Tang Dynasty. Just imagine, if the envoys of the foreign countries see that my palaces in the Tang Dynasty are made of glass as windows, haha, won't they be scared to death?"

"This..." Li Shimin looked at Empress Changsun and asked, "What do the Queen think?"
