The army was dispersed back to the various prefectures on the road, leaving only the 5,000 people who were originally guarding the capital of the capital, and Li Mu's battalion of 800 soldiers, totaling about 6,000. This was also a lot, and looking around, it was a continuous stream. Li Mu lay in his special carriage and slept soundly. Last night, he threw dice with Su Dingfang and others, and won 18 guan a handful of money, and almost cried for a group of soldiers. In the end, Li Mu felt bored and divided all the money he won, and rewarded fifty guan. It was not until dawn that he fell asleep exhausted.

"Report! Report to the Marquis, Your Majesty ordered all officials to go out of the city and welcome him ten miles to congratulate the Marquis on expanding territory and returning in triumphant success!"

"Ah." Li Mu yawned, poked his head out, and said, "If you go back to me, your Majesty will be kind. I am grateful for your inexplicable ability to keep everything simple. I want to go home first."

"..." The person who passed the message was stunned. The general returned triumphantly and all officials greeted each other. What a great glory this is? Someone didn't want it? However, when I thought of the gossip news that had spread throughout Chang'an City recently, I felt strange. I bowed and bowed, and went back to report it.

The army continued to move forward slowly, and after a while, someone came again: "Report! Report to the Marquis, Your Majesty has an oral order: You must not make trouble. I and the envoys of other countries are waiting for you at the gate of the city. What if you can't see anyone? I know that you want to see your wife, I helped you get it to the palace early in the morning and were talking to the queen. If you want to see you, hurry up!"

"Mr. Marquis, that's what Your Majesty said."

Li Mu came out again and said lazily: "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness. Your Majesty is Your Majesty. I think it's thoughtful. I'll tell Your Majesty, and I'll just cry. I'll just cry. Let's go."

Retracting his head, Li Mu fell on the pillow, his face becoming gloomy.

It is not difficult to guess Li Shimin's thoughts at all. Now he has given enough face and made the world unable to find out his faults. In this way, a scene of "killing Ma Su with tears". The plan is very rough, but it is easy to use. How many heroes have died in this plan through ancient times? There are so many that they can't count it.

Now that his wife and children have been taken to the palace, they can't even run away. In fact, the reason why Li Mu rolled the dice all night yesterday was that he was waiting for Dugu Jiu. It was only one day away from Chang'an. If Dugu Jiu had nothing to do, he would come to meet him quickly. But if he didn't come, it means something happened.

I just didn't expect Li Shimin to do so well.

Li Mu felt a little uncomfortable when he stuttered. But he also knew that he was not qualified to blame Li Shimin. The younger generation he trusted had pried out the girl he liked. No one could stand this double treason on him. What's more, he was still the emperor, so it was normal to take revenge.

"Brother, are we still leaving?"

Li Chongyi's voice came from outside the car, and Li Mu sighed, "What should I do if I don't leave? You didn't hear it. The whole family was taken to the palace, and there were five thousand treasurys next to us. We only had 800 people. We may not be united. It is impossible to run away. Let's go, take one step at a time, and a big scar fell on our head."

“…”

Li Chongyi was silent for a while and said, "Brother, I will die with you."

"Bah!" Li Mu poked his head out and cursed: "I'm not dead yet? How did you know that I'm going to die?"

Li Chongyi looked at him. Although he didn't say anything, his expression seemed to be saying, "Brother, can you still live?"

"It's not that easy to kill me. Do you think your elder brother is giving it to you for free? There are many places in the past year that cannot be lacking in your elder brother. Your Majesty thinks it's OK, but is it okay? Only I know that you don't understand and you don't understand. Let's send orders and speed up. Before noon, hurry up to the city, don't let Your Majesty wait for a long time."

"Yes." Li Chongyi rode forward and sent an order.

...

Shili Pavilion in the west of the city.

The so-called "all officials welcome each other, naturally there would not be a hundred officials, which refers to the main leaders of the three provinces and six ministries, Chang'an County and Wannian County, each sent out businessmen to organize the people and beat drums. This was already the highest courtesy of the generals of the Tang Dynasty. When Li Mu came to Chang'an City, Li Ji had not received such courtesy. It was not until Li Jing's army returned to the city that he deserved such courtesy.

An unwritten rule is that if you want to get such courtesy, you must make the contribution of "expanding territory". Although Li Mu solved the danger of the Western Turks this time, he actually did not expand territory. According to the example, he could not afford such courtesy, but Li Shimin gave such courtesy, which was actually a bit too much. However, there was no rule that such courtesy could not be given, so the censors did not make a big fuss.

In fact, the target of the Censorate is no longer Li Mu. After this period of fermentation between Li Mu and Wang Ou, it can be said that everyone knows it. Li Mu has long been regarded as a dead person by Shi Lin, and wasting words on him is no longer a wise man, and it has only added to the reputation of putting in the wrong.

In the pavilion, the big men from the three provinces and six ministries were drinking tea and chatting. At Fang Xuanling's hand, there were two imperial edicts. These two decrees were for Li Mu and the other was for Li Chongyi. They all knew the content of the decree, which could be said to be a magnificent grace. If these two decrees came into effect, Li Mu's grade would surpass some of them. Thinking about an 18-year-old young man who had caught up with or even surpassed their achievements in half of his life in just over a year, which was very ironic. But now no one felt envious. They knew in their hearts that Li Mu had few good days.

The recent various mobilizations of the Office of the Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Works have already indicated that His Majesty is going to attack Li Mu. Thinking of Li Mu's upcoming fate, everyone couldn't help feeling a little cold in his lips. No matter how powerful a minister is, what is the use of? Li Mu is such an arrogant and domineering person, as if no one can restrain him, but once he faces the imperial power, it will be broken like a paper in the window, and it will be broken with a slight stab.

"Here you come."

Changsun Wuji's eyes were pointed, and he saw the flags just exposed on the horizon and said. After he said this, everyone looked up. The yamen runners on both sides hurriedly asked the people to blow, and it was immediately very lively near the Shili Pavilion.

Li Mu had already put on his clothes and sat upright in the carriage. When he arrived, the carriage was ready. Li Mu got off the carriage. Everyone was about to talk to him, but when they saw his outfit, they choked back to the feather fan and Lun Scarf. Is this kid comparing himself to Zhuge Kongming?

Li Mu shook the feather fan lightly, looked at everyone with a smile on his face, and said, "You guys, it's cold spring, and I never thought that I would come over as soon as I left, and it was already spring. I'm almost unable to come back. Don't you miss me? I want to die!"

After saying that, he threw the feather fan, opened his arms, and hugged Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others who were walking in front of him. Everyone was not making or not making, and they were all embarrassed. Now Li Mu was like a virus, and Li Shimin was about to attack him. Who would want to "get close to him"?

"Mr. Marquis should not be too excited. There are two decrees from Your Majesty here. Would you please let me read the decrees?"

Fang Xuanling spoke out to relieve the siege, and Li Mu then let go and bowed and said, "My minister, Li Mu, received the order to thank him."

"The system said: "The virtuous and virtuous are wise and virtuous. In the past, the king ordered his decree to commend good deeds and had the national etiquette. The marquis of Zhulu Li Mu suddenly encountered an incident and remained undisturbed in the face of danger. He was determined to be strong and metal and stone. He vowed to discuss the court with mountains and rivers. He saved the people from danger.... He promoted the marquis of Zhulu Li Mu to be the Duke of Luoyang County, the General of Huaihua, and was appointed as the "Guardian Army". I hope to continue to work hard and live up to my expectations."

After reading the order, Fang Xuanling handed the imperial edict to Li Mu and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the Duke of Luoyang County, Luoyang is the capital. The Duke of Luoyang County is actually the first-class Duke of the County. Your Majesty gave you Luoyang as a fief, which is really a great kindness."

Li Mu hurriedly faced Chang'an and said gratefully: "Your Majesty has reached this point of kindness, how dare Mu behave? But this Luoyang County Duke is really difficult to read, and it is still easy to read one word. Mu Don continue to work hard and strive to get one word one word."

When everyone heard this, they all complained in their hearts. One word? How dare they say it! One word, that is the Duke of the National People! The 18-year-old Duke of the National People? Unless the emperor's head is flooded, no matter how much credit it makes, it will never be granted. This time, the Duke of the County was almost hit by the pillar, but it was Li Shimin who insisted on repeatedly. If he was granted casually, the Duke of the Tang Dynasty would be too worthless.

Fang Xuanling pretended not to hear it, took out another imperial edict and said, "Where is Li Chongyi?"

He actually saw Li Chongyi and couldn't see it. Li Chongyi was two meters tall and was too conspicuous in the crowd. He just had to have such a process to read the order, so he had to ask.

Li Chongyi looked at Li Mu, and Li Mu pulled him over and said, "Silly, Your Majesty has given you the will. Are you not happy? Hurry up, see what official your Majesty has appointed you."

"My minister Li Chongyi received the order."

"The commander said: I heard that I have praised the virtues and rewarded the talents. Li Chongyi, the commander of the Jinyiwei, had to pacify Linyi with 500 strong soldiers and destroy the country. The bravery of the Jinyiwei was unheard of. I had never heard of it. It was really a waste of talent to stay in the Jinyiwei. Now I was named "Annanbo", General Zhongwu, guarding the southern border to safeguard the country."

Fang Xuanling handed the imperial edict to Li Chongyi and smiled and said, "General Zhongwu is a fourth-ranked rank. Your Majesty is very good at treating you. Annan Bo should accept the imperial edict quickly?"

"The count is OK. You are one level higher than Chongyi. You can show off when you see him in the future. Please take it soon." Li Mu also said, but Li Chongyi still had no intention of accepting it. He pursed his lips and said, "Can I not accept the order?"

Everyone was shocked when this statement came out! Fang Xuanling had seen the world. He had received the imperial edict himself, and he read the imperial edicts. The total number was less than a hundred times. It was the first time he saw someone saying that I didn't want the imperial edict. He looked at Li Chongyi, a little speechless, and asked curiously: "Why didn't I understand Annanbo's meaning? Do you don't want to accept the imperial edict? How can this be done? Disobeying the imperial edict is the crime of beheading!"

"I don't want to be an official, either? I just want to stay with my elder brother and don't want to guard southern Xinjiang."

Li Mu raised it and kicked it, saying, "Can you be with me for the rest of your life? What's wrong with guarding southern Xinjiang? The Emperor of Heaven... That, I mean, how good, you fought it yourself and stayed at your own garrison, right? Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and take it."

Li Chongyi's stubborn temper came up, and he just put his hand behind him and refused to answer.

Fang Xuanling had never dealt with this situation. He looked at Changsun Wuji. Changsun Wuji shook his head gently. Fang Xuanling had to scare him: "Boy Annan, if you don't answer, I can only let the guards arrest you."

"Catch it if you catch it, I don't want to leave my elder brother!"

"You guys!" Li Mu jumped up and patted Li Chongyi's head, snatched the imperial edict from Fang Xuanling, and said, "The same goes for Fang Xiangtongrong and I'll accept it. If I accept it, it means he will accept it. Don't worry, I'll persuade him."

"I have to do this." Fang Xuanling didn't say anything, and he didn't want to make trouble. After the imperial edict was announced, he was worried that Li Mu would have another trouble, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "Your Majesty and the envoys of all countries have been waiting for a long time. Luoyang County Duke, are we going back to the city?"

"Yes, yes, go back to the city."

Li Mu threw the imperial edict onto the carriage, and someone led two horses over and rode onto the horse with Li Chongyi. The three provinces and six ministries also got on their own carriages. The group accelerated their speed and headed straight to the gate of Chang'an.

Ten miles away arrived in a blink of an eye. Li Shimin stood at the city gate and saw Li Mu coming from afar, feeling mixed feelings.

Unlike what everyone thought, although Li Shimin made some preparations, he has not finally decided whether to kill Li Mu until now. After his initial anger, he gradually calmed down. It was not that he had never had him in his heart. Li Shimin accepted the fact that Wang Ou married Cui Yuzheng back then, and it was not that he could not accept that she would remarry. However, this person was Li Mu, which made him angry.

There is a balance in people's hearts. After Li Mu has always done for the Tang Dynasty and for him, he was placed on the balance one by one. Compared with his anger, it is actually not much different.

Li Shimin wanted to kill Li Mu out of personal anger. But he also knew that Li Mu would do a lot of things for the Tang Dynasty when he was alive. The wonderful ideas in his head would bring him surprises every time. If Li Mu was killed, everything would be reborn and restored to its original form. The family that had just suppressed a little will make a comeback, and if they absorbed Li Mu's methods, it would become more difficult and difficult.

Thinking of this, he didn't want to kill Li Mu anymore. But if he didn't give him some punishment, Li Shimin always felt uncomfortable. Now seeing Li Mu, his anger surged up again. If there weren't so many envoys in front of him, he really wanted to tie Li Mu up and beat him with a whip, and ask him why he could do such a sorry thing!

Thinking of the mixed thoughts in his head, Li Mu had arrived. Seeing Li Shimin, Li Mu felt mixed feelings. It is undeniable that Li Shimin was kind to him, and from Li Shimin's perspective, what he did was indeed not very particular.

As he was far away, Li Mu turned over and dismounted. He stood still, looked at Li Shimin, took a few deep breaths before he mustered up the courage to come over.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
