"Does fat people lose weight so quickly these days? If you were filming a TV series, would you have to find two actors to change it?"

When the county government hall was seated, Li Mu looked at Li Tai. If he hadn't had the voice a little familiar, he would have doubted whether he was alone.

Li Tai, who lost weight, had a very similar eyebrows to Li Shimin, and was more like Li Shimin than Li Chengqian. Although Li Chengqian was good at martial arts, his appearance was a little softer, more like Empress Changsun.

Li Mu suddenly thought of something and asked, "Qingque, have you ever been back since you left Chang'an?"

"No." Li Tai said with some sassiness: "I have never been back since I left Chang'an. How difficult is it for me to come out? Can I come out again after I go back? How could I be so stupid!"

"No wonder," Li Mu said intimately that if Li Tai had been back, he should have known what had happened during this period, and maybe he would not have been so close to him. He looked at Li Tai and wanted to tell him about the matter, but then he thought, what does the adult affairs have to do with children. But he forgot that in fact, he and Li Tai are of the same generation, and he is not much older than Li Tai in this life.

"Teacher, the student has something for you to see." Li Tai took out a book from his sleeve and respectfully handed it to Li Mu. His name to Li Mu is very interesting. Usually, he calls him the eldest brother, but when he studies, he calls him the "teacher". From the changes in his name, Li Mu can roughly know what he is going to say.

"What is this?" Li Mu took it, looking at him seriously. Li Tai was a little stunned when he looked at his actions, thinking that his mentor was indeed different, and he read books backwards. It was not until Li Mu realized that the book was taken backwards and transferred to him that Li Tai discovered the problem. The two looked at each other, which was a little embarrassed.

In fact, this cannot be blamed for Li Mu. Maybe this kid Li Tai is trying to show off his knowledge? On the skin of this book, he wrote the three characters of seal script. Li Mu's cultural level was so he could not tell the truth, so he made a joke.

"Can the earthly lunar calendar?"

Li Mu guessed and finally admitted his mistake.

Li Tai introduced: "Mr., after leaving Chang'an, I did not stay in Luoyang all the time. My teacher once said that reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles. In the first few months, I kept walking. I found that the customs, goods, ancient sites, figures, stories, etc. between places and places are completely different. Some counties, even if there is only one mountain apart, the accent of people on this end and the other end of the mountain is different. So I thought, there were ten 358 states and 1,551 counties in the Tang Dynasty. Are the customs and humanities of each county different? Does the court have mastered all the affairs of these counties? If it is not mastered, how can it be managed and how can it be governed?"

"So I sent an envoy to compile a book that can reflect the geography, properties, and personalities of various places. I learned from the classics and passed down the geography, so that I could find old stories and news, and detailed the history of the establishment of various political regions, mountains, rivers, properties, ancient sites, customs, characters, stories, etc., so that the court can understand the local area more and facilitate the dispatch and management. This volume is the "Guodizhi, Luoyang Volume" compiled and edited by me personally. I don't know if it can be done, but I want to show it to my teacher first. If my teacher thinks it is OK, I am asking my father to implement this matter."

He was really sleepy and someone gave him a pillow. Li Mu was worried about the customs and customs here, so Li Tai sent this thing. He opened the book and found that it was all-encompassing. Mountains, rivers, water and land transportation, humanities and geography, property and historical sites, aristocratic families, and even snacks and juggling.

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "There are too many words in this book, and you will see something in a while. You can stay with me first, and I will take a good look for you. If there is any inappropriateness, I will mark you and you will change it later."

"That's great." Li Taixi was overjoyed. When he came, he had no hope that Li Mu would help. Unexpectedly, he was surprised and was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

Li Mu put away the book and said to Li Tai: "Are you keeping your head reciting books? Where do you live? You have lost so much weight and suffered a lot, right?"

"Suffering hardship?" Li Tai said, "I haven't been suffering. I have been studying books all the time. Don't I feel that I have worked hard. Where can I live? I live in my own mansion, and the mansion given to me by my father is in Yankangfang."

Tsk,

Li Mu complained in his heart and said, "Look, the second generation of officials and the second generation of wealthy people are not as good as the second generation of the emperor. In Chang'an City, people have mansions, and in Luoyang City, they also have mansions. However, Luoyang City is not as good as Chang'an, and there is no emperor here. I believe that Li Tai's mansion is not very big."

Thinking of this, Li Mu said, "It's not very convenient for you to live alone. Why not move here? I think this county government is quite spacious." When Li Mu was talking, Bai Qiaoqiao came in to bring tea. When he heard Li Mu say this, he winked at him.

Li Mu was puzzled and before he could ask, Li Tai said, "Brother, I'm about to talk about this. You guys clean up and follow me. My carriage is outside. This county government is too dilapidated. My sister-in-law is still pregnant. How can I get a person without a serving? My mansion is vast and I have many people to call. It's much better to live there than here."

"Your place..." Li Mu glanced up and down at Li Tai and said, "How big can it be?"

Li Tai said a little embarrassedly: "After the New Year, my father gave me a big mansion. There was a yard in front and behind, and the 300 acres of marsh next to me were also rewarded to me. I took the people to clean up the dredging, dug a pond, and built a dam link. It was just completed last month. I was busy working on the books, and I haven't been there once. Brother, you can live wherever you want, and you can choose whatever you want, and some are empty courtyards."

“…”

Li Mu blinked his eyes and finally understood the intention of Qiaoqiao's winking.

Is this the most favored prince?

Thinking about the prince Li Chengqian who worked as an urban management officer in Chang'an City, Li Mu suddenly felt that there was a reason for historical records that Li Chengqian finally chose to rebel. My father was so partial, and I would have rebelled.

"Brother, if you like it, I'll give it to you."

"I dare not ask for it!" Li Mu refused and said, "I won't say anything. Go back and ask the chief of your mansion. What happened during this period? When you know, you may not want me to live there."

"I know everything."

"What?"

Li Tai smiled and said, "I said, I know everything. Luoyang City is not as news as the eldest brother thinks, but I feel that there must be no major matter between the eldest brother. The eldest brother cannot do without the eldest brother, and the eldest brother will never be a person who is indifferent. Therefore, I didn't care at all."

"You are really optimistic..." Before Li Mu finished speaking, someone said outside: "Your Majesty has arrived and Luoyang ordered Li Mu to receive the order."

Li Mu asked Li Tai to sit down, but he quickly got up, came out of the door, and bowed and said, "My minister Li Mu received the order."

"Your Majesty's oral order: Li Mu, I will be crowned as the Khan of Heaven soon. You guys put aside your affairs and come back to watch the ceremony. I have already said hello to the Marquis of Shouyang. He will not pursue this matter anymore. Don't cause trouble for him anymore. After all, he is my uncle, just treat it as giving me some shameful face."

After the eunuch passed the oral order, he hurriedly bowed and bowed: "Luoyang Order, Your Majesty's Meaning, Let's leave now, do you see?"

"Let's leave now?" Li Mu heard some tricks. He had just brought his family to Luoyang, and Li Shimin asked him to go back. If he ruled out that Li Shimin was a fool, there was only one possibility, that is, something happened in Chang'an, and Li Shimin wanted him to go back and deal with it.

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "What's the rush? My affairs have not been dealt with yet. Let's talk about them in a few days."

The little eunuch hurriedly said, "Luoyang Order should set off quickly. Your Majesty is really... anxious, a little anxious."

"What happened? You said I might go back. If you don't say it," Li Mu said.

"Oh." The little eunuch was so anxious that he stomped his feet. In desperation, he had to whisper in Li Mu's ear. This was the way that Eunuch Gao calculated that Li Mu would not cooperate and specifically instructed the little eunuch.

The Tubo prince asked for a marriage to a princess?

Li Mu immediately thought of the name of "Songzan Gampo", but then he thought about it again, it seemed unlikely that Songzan Gampo had been marrying Princess Wencheng in history. According to the current situation, no princess in the Tang Dynasty was over ten years old. Although he didn't know who Princess Wencheng was, he must be a child, so how could he get married?

I guess Li Shimin wanted to refuse. However, he didn't want to do this, and wanted to use his own hands to ruin this matter.

It was quite beautiful to think about it. In the past, Li Mu would not be stingy to help this, and would even enjoy it. But now, he would not do such stupid things unless there is something else to do.

He looked at the eunuch and said, "The little father-in-law is a little bit disgusted. He is also the godson of Eunuch Gao? What do you do in the palace?"

"If I go back to Luoyang, I will not dare to be arrogant to my ancestors. I am not from the palace. I will ask you for your blessings. I will work in the East Factory."

"Dongchang," Li Mu asked, "How many people have come to this time?"

"If you want to go back to you, the factory guards will be dispatched in groups of eight. This time, two groups of orders came. In addition to me, there are sixteen people."

"Please help me?"

"I dare not speak to help, you just give me instructions."

Li Mu leaned close to the little eunuch's ear and said a few words. The little eunuch looked at Li Mu blankly and said tremblingly: "Luoyang Order, this is so small that I dare not."

"If you don't dare, I'll say you stole it."

"I really don't dare to do it!" The little eunuch knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing: "Please be kind."

"If you can't open it, you can do it." Li Mu said: "If you don't help, you will steal it. If you can't eat it, you will be in trouble. Don't blame me for not giving you Eunuch Gao's face!"

After saying that, Li Mu went back to the house, leaving only the little eunuch, who wanted to cry without tears.

...

Last night, the thieves attacked the county government office at night. Although the Luoyang Order Li Mu fought to the death, he was still outnumbered and injured several guards. Although the assassin had struggled to repel, the Luoyang Order Li Mu paid a huge price for this. Not only was he injured, but the Shangfang sword in his hand was also lost in the fight. Coin after happening, the factory guard who was sent to the imperial edict came to Chang'an, and Li Mu reported the matter to the factory guard of the Dongchang. The factory guard took over the matter and vowed to find out the clues behind the scenes. Even if he searched from door to door and dug three feet into the ground, he would find out the clues of the day.

The news came to everyone's ears, and they just thought it was Li Mu's remarks to regain some face, but no one expected how many hidden dangers Li Mu brought about this damage. When they realized it, Li Mu had already left Luoyang City and set foot on the road back to Chang'an City with Li Tai, Bai Qiaoqiao and Jin Chen.

Su Dingfang was left in the county government office by him and did not come back together. However, Li Tai's guards were all first-class players and could not get anything out. When he went to Luoyang, he had a lot of bags and small bags. When he came back, he was light and simple, so he naturally had much faster speed. In a few days, he saw the walls of Chang'an City again.

When he returned to Chang'an City, Li Mu's mentality was completely different. He did not return to the valley. Everything there had been given to Li Yuan by him, and it was no longer his own. He returned to Jingdong Ji, where there was a house where Bai Nao was and Feng Qiuhuang's shop. Li Mu was the owner, so it was necessary to stay here for a few days.

The boat was exhausted, and Bai Qiaoqiao was a little tired. Jin Chen accompanied her to rest. Li Mu was about to say goodbye to Li Mu and he also took a break. The palace sent someone to come over, hoping that Li Mu and Li Tai would enter the palace together.

After entering the palace city, Li Tai was called by the people from the Lizheng Palace, saying that Empress Changsun missed her son and wanted Li Tai to go over and talk. Li Mu was taken straight to Tai Chi Palace, and Li Shimin had been waiting for a long time.

"Li Mu, I'm facing difficulties again." Li Shimin, as usual, did not say anything politely, directly raised the problem: "The Tubo prince should never take it lightly. Tubo's soldiers and horses are strong and repeatedly offend the border. The last time, Tubo took the lead in attacking, and then Goguryeo, Xue Yantuo and others learned it well. There is no explanation for this matter, and the Tubo prince suddenly proposed to him. I think this is a test."

Li Mu did not say anything, and Li Shimin continued, "If I agree, I am afraid other countries will follow suit and make me look weak and bullied. But if I don't agree, Tubo will have an excuse. When they send troops, I will not be afraid. But the time is very wrong when I rest and recuperate."

"When does your Majesty think the time is right?"

Li Shimin thought for a while and said seriously: "After harvesting autumn grain, I am not without any soldiers, but I have no food and grass. Tubo is located on the plateau, and fighting against it, our soldiers are also extremely unfavorable, so we still need some time to adapt. I have already let Niu Jinda go to Songzhou to prepare early. Niu Jinda is mature and steadfast and will definitely not disappoint me."

"In other words, does Your Majesty want to fight?"
