In the ninth year of Daye, Luoyang City.

In June, lotus flowers bloom, and there are endless pleasure boats in the pools of Jiuzhou. The news that Tang Duke Li Yuan was about to rise up has spread like wildfire, and everyone knows Sima Zhao's heart. Therefore, Li Jiancheng's brothers are like stars in Luoyang. Li Jiancheng also took this opportunity to contact the heroes from all over the world and strive for every power that can be used.

For this reason, he booked a pleasure boat and invited all the young masters from all over the city to drink and write poems to communicate their feelings.

Li Jiancheng was born in a famous family and received a good education since childhood. He was the leader of these literati and scholars. Whether it was reciting poems or calligraphy, calligraphy and painting, he was one of the top people in the world. Moreover, Li Jiancheng was proficient in Buddhism and had the legacy of famous scholars of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. His every move was sought after by people, which made countless famous ladies unable to sleep at night.

Compared with Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin, who was by his side, seemed not outstanding at all. He was only fifteen years old. Although he was strong, most of Li Jiancheng's friends regarded him as a child. Even if they talked to him, few of them were sincere for him and gave Li Jiancheng face.

Li Shimin couldn't talk to these people, so he greeted his elder brother, and came to the bow of the boat alone, leaning against the railing in a daze. The moon was staring in the pool, reflecting a large silver plate. It seemed as if he could reach it with his hand. He stared blankly at the moon in the pool, and suddenly laughed foolishly, and suddenly dazed. The moon seemed to reflect a person's face, which made him involuntarily fascinated.

"Shimin, what are you doing? Come and introduce you to me and introduce you to a few friends!"

Li Jiancheng's voice came from his ears. Li Shimin turned his head and looked over, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Brother, I can't bear to drink. I'll sober up here. You drink slowly, I'll go there later."

"Okay!"

Li Shimin turned around, but only a few words came along the wind.

"Criminal, you brother are not worthy of face. I, a son of Zheng in Xingyang, aren't you worthy of drinking with him?"

"Where is Brother Zheng? Brother Yu is still young. In a few years, you will be no match for him!"

"Haha, the prince really cherishes his younger brother."

"Naturally, I watched Shimin grow up. He is skilled in archery and horses and will become a general in the future..."

I was cheering and drinking, laughing and messing around.

Li Shimin has long been tired of this kind of life. It has been a month since he came to Luoyang City. He has begun to miss his war horses. There is nothing worth him lingering in Luoyang City, only that smile.

After leaving White Horse Temple, there is no chance to meet again. However, according to the news, Miss Wang is still in Luoyang. However, the Wang family in Taiyuan is noble and she is the only daughter. He is the second son of Mr. Tang. What reason can he come to visit?

The boy doesn't know the taste of sorrow, but he is not moved.

Just when Li Shimin was in a daze, a pleasure boat came across the other side. There was no man on the pleasure boat, all of which were young women. The fragrance of powder spreads from afar. Li Shimin, a fifteen-year-old brat, was not as old as a rogue. When he smelled this smell, he felt pungent and couldn't help but sneeze.

"Oh no, Miss Wang fell into the water. There was no man on our pleasure boat. What should I do?"

Li Shimin knocked over in the sound, his eyes instantly widened. Miss Wang, why did she fall into the water? Before she could think about it, Li Shimin jumped into the water, and swam over with great effort.

When Li Jiancheng heard the sound of falling into the water, he hurried to the side of the boat. When he saw Li Shimin falling into the water, he immediately shouted: "Second brother, what are you doing? Come and save my second brother!

Although he was young, he had a great ability to swim. He swam to Miss Wang soon. The woman on the pleasure boat opposite saw a handsome little brother swimming over and cheered, but Li Shimin could no longer hear it. His eyes were filled with Miss Wang.

The lotus in the water is like a book. For the first time, he understood the meaning without the teacher's teaching.

Just as he was about to reach out, Miss Wang came out and spit out, and stuttered, "Young master, men and women... don't kiss me, go and call me... Sister Lu..."

At the same time, two people rushed out of the cabin of the pleasure boat, a lady and a nanny. Seeing Miss Wang falling into the water, the lady was suddenly dissatisfied and said anxiously: "Mama Rong, why are you still standing there? Hurry up to rescue Sister Wang!"

"Okay, Miss, you wait and hold the railing!"

Mama Rong shouted loudly, lifted her skirt and crossed the railing, shouting: "Where is Miss Wang? Don't panic, Mama Rong is here! Mama Rong is good at water, Mama Rong is here to save you!" Suddenly, she looked closely and saw a man entangled with Miss Wang, and anger suddenly appeared on her face. She twisted her fat waist in the air, sat on Li Shimin's head, and grabbed Miss Wang into her hand!

Li Jiancheng on another pleasure boat was about to pop out his eyes: "Shimin!" He glared at Rong Mama and said: "Who are you? My second brother saved people, how can you harm him!"

Mama Rong ignored her and held Miss Wang onto the pleasure boat. The lady who had just told her to save people heard it and came to the bow of the boat. When she saw Li Jiancheng opposite, Yingying bowed: "Young Master, my servant is rude and ignorant. Please don't be angry. I apologize to you on behalf of her, but the man and woman are not close to each other. My sister has not yet been married, so it is really not suitable to contact strange men. If it is spread, the reputation of the girl's family will be ruined. I hope the young master will take care of her."

The moon shadow was swaying, and the woman talking seemed to be Chang'e in the moon palace. Li Jiancheng fell in love with her at first sight and immediately forgot everything. He kept saying, "It's my brother who is abrupt, it's not about the girl's business. How dare you ask about the girl's name? I'll come to the door to apologize in the future."

The woman smiled, as if she had insight into all Li Jiancheng's thoughts. She did not answer him again, but turned around to see Miss Wang who had just been rescued. Madam Rong wrung the water from her skirt, appeared carelessly, and scolded: "Where is the shameless thing? Is there any rule in public asking the girl's name? It's obvious that she is a rustic guy from a small family. If you don't go back and read a few more years!"

After cursing, Huafang turned around and left. Li Jiancheng stretched his neck long and could not see the woman's shadow. He couldn't help but feel disappointed and regretful, which was beyond words.

At this time, the boatman rescued Li Shimin. Only then did Li Jiancheng remember his younger brother and asked, "Shimin, how are you?"

Li Shimin spit out the water plants in his mouth, laughed foolishly, and said, "Brother, I like a woman, I want to propose marriage!"

Li Jiancheng was stunned for a moment and asked, "But the one you want to save?"

Li Shimin nodded foolishly, Li Jiancheng smiled, patted Li Shimin on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, support you, go." After that, he looked towards the direction of the pleasure boat leaving, and murmured in his heart: "Brother, I also fall in love with a woman..."

...

Twelve years later, the Eastern Palace shouted and killed the sky.

Li Jiancheng looked at Li Yuanji's departure back and knew that there would be a conclusion today. He knew Li Shimin's ability more than anyone else. He was probably in danger today.

Half of his life passed by in front of his eyes, and Li Jiancheng finally remembered the woman who was deeply in memory. He had countless beauties in his life, but only this woman was truly disappointed.

"Mr. Wei, if Gu dies, Gu's son will die. But Gu has another son among the people, no one knows. His mother is a woman from the Lu family in Fanyang. Gu has lost her for a long time, and I don't know if she and Gu's son are still alive now. Duke Wei, you must save your life. Gu's blood will be entrusted to the gentleman!"

"Crown Prince!" Wei Zheng cried in tears, hugged Li Jiancheng's thigh, and said, "Prince should go to see Your Majesty, maybe there is a turning point!"

Li Jiancheng drew his sword and laughed: "Gu is the prince and Gu is also the eldest son. Can you still be afraid of his younger brother? Sir, don't persuade me anymore, Gu will leave! If you see Lu and say something for Gu, you will betray her!"

...

At some point, a pot of wine had already been seen. Wei Zheng shook the pot, and there was no sound at all. He asked for another pot of wine and poured it himself. Wang Gui and others argued with Li Mu.

Didn’t Wei Zheng know that Li Shimin was a wise monarch? Of course he knew, otherwise he would not have agreed to Li Shimin’s re-entry as an official, nor would he give him so many good advice. But he was deeply grateful to Li Jiancheng and never dared to forget his promises at all times. Many times, he himself was also contradictory. On the one hand, he wanted to do something for the people and the country. But on the other hand, he condemned himself in his heart, and serving Li Shimin is worthy of his old master?

The pain and torture in his heart have caused Wei Zheng to repeat it. Occasionally, he will lose himself and don’t know if the persistence over the years is correct.

"...My husbands, listen to me!" Li Mu was a little drunk, slapped the table and shouted, "Everyone listens to me, I'll show you the way!"

"Harewell, tell me!"

Li Mu chuckled and said, "You guys! Do you understand keeping pace with the times?"

Everyone was confused, and Li Mu continued, "I don't understand, right? It's right! If you understand, what should I rely on? But it doesn't matter. The matter has been settled, and I can teach you. Keeping pace with the times, you can also understand that those who know the times are heroes. What does it mean to know the times? It means that! Contrary to the general trend, that is a fool. It is impossible for a fool to make money! What is a general trend?"

Li Mu smiled again and said, "The general trend is, who has the final say! Who has the final say now? Of course it is Your Majesty! Don't look at me like this? What am I? At most, I am the sword in Your Majesty's hand! Why do I do what I do and what I can do? Not because I am powerful, but because I know what His Majesty wants to do. I can go a little bit more than His Majesty. Li Mu patted his chest and said, "This is my ability!"

"If you don't have this ability, then be aware of the current situation. Don't always think about making rules, and you don't think about it. If you decide the rules, will the surname Li in the world be? Put away these ridiculous thoughts early!"

Wang Gui hurriedly said, "I have accepted it, and I have accepted it long ago. Our Wang family in Taiyuan has no idea at all!" He smiled and said, "Marty, we are all the people who are responsible, just hope to maintain it, but to be honest, this new policy is really bad for us."

"Hahaha!" Li Mu laughed three times and said, "Is it unfavorable? Why do I feel that you are so cheap!"

Li Mu knocked on the table and said, "My Lords, are your vision still on the ground now?"

Everyone looked at each other, not understanding Li Mu's meaning, Wang Gui asked: "Marty, if you are not on farming, what should you be on?"

"Buy and sell!"

Li Mu looked as if he was so angry that he spread his hands and said, "You guys are just too unwise enough! Look at me and look at my face!" Li Mu pointed at himself and said, "When I arrived in Chang'an, there was nothing. When His Majesty was awarded the title, he gave some land, but did I plant it? I don't know where it is! But now you look at me, where the money comes from? Do business!"

Wang Gui rubbed his hands with a wry smile and said, "Mr. Marquis, we all know this, but you can see, we don't understand these three cups, mirrors, perfumes, soaps, etc., and you won't tell us the secret recipe, this business is not easy to do."

"Oh, when you do business, I have to give you a secret recipe! We are all a thousand-year-old family, so don't have any family foundation? Take it out and make money, and it's time to wait!"

"But this..." Wang Gui hesitated again: "Even if we do business as the Marquis said, we have the capital to do business. If the business is not good, we will lose money, wouldn't it be better not to do it?"

"Then don't do it!" Li Mu said angrily: "I'll be afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back. Can you succeed? Besides, you are so lucky now! I have worked hard to handle the Office of the Internal Affairs. As long as you join the Office of the Internal Affairs, give you orders and let you do it. If the quality is qualified, you will acquire them all, and you will make sure to make a profit without losing money. You don't do this, and you will keep your eyes on the ground. What's the use?"

"Yes, land is always valuable! But you must understand that the value of troubled times and the value of prosperous times are different! Land in troubled times represents a good meal. What about a good meal? You will be satisfied if you have good meals?"

Li Mu looked at everyone and said, "You all say that today is not a prosperous era. Whose happiness is based on having a good meal?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads. They were all children of aristocratic families, and even in troubled times, they would not be happy because they had a taste of food.
