The next morning, Li Mu had breakfast and came to visit Ju Zhisheng again.

I have to say that Liu Shenwei's medical skills are also very superb. He used a stick to penetrate Ju Zhisheng's back thigh. I don't know what the medicine in his thigh was. After using it three times, Ju Zhisheng was already well. Li Mu asked about the situation and Ju Zhisheng could recover in about two or three days. Such speed was so fast.

Li Mu felt relieved after hearing this news. He really didn't want Ju Zhisheng to stay in the mansion for too long. After all, there was a beautiful wife and maid in the mansion. Even if nothing would happen, Li Mu felt that it was a huge loss if he saw it more.

But on the surface, he was still a piece of work of asking about his well-being. He moved Ju Zhisheng so much that he wanted to cry. Li Mu comforted him for a while and then went out and headed straight for the imperial city.

Today, Li Mu is going to participate in the court meeting.

Although he was dismissed from an official position, he was qualified to be in the court ranks, whether it was the military marquis or the treasury order. At the beginning, Li Shimin sent someone to urge him to actively participate in the court discussion. But Li Mu was really lazy. He urged him ten times, but he didn't go nine and a half times. He finally went there once, either he started arguing with Wei Zheng or vomited blood in the Jin Palace, so Li Shimin gave up. He didn't come, and he would save some fun if he didn't come.

All officials were used to Li Mu not participating in the court meeting, so he came to participate today, but instead, a monkey came in in a crowd, which was quite eye-catching.

It is difficult to avoid being noticed. There are only one civil and military officials who have no hair. The others are wearing buns, wearing official hats, crowns, etc. He is the only one, like a monk, with a buzz cut. He has a 'not my race' temperament, but it is also appropriate. Li Mu, a major faction in the dynasty, is indeed not from any of them.

It has long been a miracle that his ability to live alone to this day has been discussed by everyone.

Today's court talks are more than before. Because the Gaochang king Ju Wentai and his party have arrived in Liangzhou, the day will be seven days later. Li Shimin attaches great importance to this matter, so he called all the civil and military officials to agree on the agenda.

The diplomatic relations between the two countries are very complicated. On the surface, the lord of a small country is happy to see the emperor of a great country and present tributes. But in fact, the things behind it are much more complicated than this.

As a country above the Celestial Empire, how can we take advantage of a small country? After receiving tributes, we must receive a return gift. Moreover, the number of return gifts is much more than the gifts given. This is a matter of face. Even if we know we are at a disadvantage, we have to pinch our noses and recognize them.

Li Shimin asked Li Mu for colorful glass bottles to deal with this matter. The Tang Dynasty's treasury is now empty, and Gaochang is famous for being rich. This time, Gaochang made a big fuss, and there will never be few tributes. Li Shimin planned to "return it five times" to demonstrate the demeanor of the Tang Dynasty. However, the treasury cannot be taken out for five times, and Li Shimin did not want to send it out from the treasury, so he made a decision to put it on the glass burned by Li Mu.

Glass, also known as a gem, has always been regarded as a type of gem. Its value is far beyond jade and other objects. If Li Mu's colorful glass bottle does not make the second one, there will be only one in the world. If he says it is worth it, then it is worth it.

Of course, if the price is marked, no one will necessarily buy it. However, it is the most suitable for returning gifts. How can the rewards from the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Empire be bargained?

Li Mu was not interested in these things at all. He was standing in the queue of military officers today, at the end of the most purple robe, hiding behind the tall generals, and yawning uncontrollably.

At this time, he just got up. Today, in order to attend court, he got up for more than an hour early and was still a little unwaking. If he hadn't made an appointment with Li Shimin, he wouldn't have come today.

However, it was not in vain for him to come. On the way he came, he had already figured out what to expect from the appearance fee. Even for the appearance fee, getting up early is worth it.

Finally, it was almost noon and the discussion finally ended. Li Shimin looked at the officials and saw that no one was talking. He crossed the long line and turned his attention to Li Mu.

All the officials were also puzzled. According to the usual rules, Your Majesty should say the "conclusion" at this time, similar to "Thank you all for your hard work, I'll discuss it here today." But why does it seem like something is stuck today? Why doesn't Your Majesty say this?

It was not until Li Shimin's eyes were fixed on Li Mu that everyone's doubts were resolved. It turned out that the problem was here, no wonder Zhulu Hou went to court, there was something wrong here!

Li Shimin was waiting for Li Mu to stand up and speak. In normal circumstances, if there is something to discuss, the minister should stand up and shout: "I have something to report." Then he said: "If you have something to do, just report it." This process is correct.

But Li Mu stopped talking for a long time, and the scene was very awkward.

Li Shimin cleared his throat and said, "Marquis Zhulu."

"Ah!" Li Mu then stood up, bowed and said, "I'm here."

"It's rare today. Why did you come to participate in the court meeting? Do you have something to report?"

In this way, he had already handed the words to Li Mu's mouth. Li Shimin was angry, but he had to look kind and kind on his face.

"Your Majesty, I do have something to report. Just now, the Dukes were discussing major events, and I dare not interrupt. Now that your Majesty is asking for advice, then-" Li Mu looked around and said, as if he was asking for instructions from civil and military officials: "I will borrow some time, what do you think?"

Li Shimin faced with him, and who dared to reply to his words, avoided his sight.

Li Shimin was too lazy to watch Li Mu play with his treasure, and said a little unhappy, "Speak quickly if you have something to do. Do you want your dear friends to spend time with you here? Tell me quickly!"

"I will ask Your Majesty to give me an official position."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials in the court were shocked and dropped their chins.

What's the matter? In front of all the officials above the Golden Palace, this kid actually asked His Majesty for an official? Why is he so shameless!

Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, even if we count a thousand years ago, until the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were no such thick-skinned people. I would recommend myself, and you have to be a little polite. I open my mouth and ask for an official position. There is no one with this shame!

Li Shimin was also stunned.

He received a message from Li Mu yesterday and made an appointment with Li Mu. In the court today, the two of them sang together and beat all civil and military officials, and did not interact with the Gaochang mission. He did not mention the matter of an official at all, and Li Shimin was also very confused. Speaking of being an official, wasn’t it because you, Li Mu, resigned and refused to do it? Why are you now asking for an official again?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel angry. This kid is too presumptuous. How could you do my official position in the Tang Dynasty do if you want to do it or if you don't want to do it?

Li Shimin said angrily: "Li Mu, you are too arrogant! You are the one who resigns from office, and you are the one who wants it. Is this court the shop you opened? You can do whatever you want, do you take me seriously?"

Li Mu hurriedly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I am actually unwilling to be an official. Otherwise, I would not resign last time. I want an official this time because of Your Majesty. If Your Majesty does not allow it, then I will pretend that I did not say anything. I have nothing to do-"

As he said that, he was about to return to the court.

Only then did Li Shimin realize that this kid was threatening himself. If he didn't give him an official, he would not act in this double act!

Oh, that's so angry!

Li Shimin was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wanted to get angry on the spot. But when he thought about it, he was very curious about what Li Mu wanted to do. He suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Well, since you said that, I am curious about how you want an official to think about me. I will give you a chance to say it, but if you can't convince me, I will punish you and no one can plead for mercy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Mu stood up again and said, "Your Majesty, I ask Your Majesty to set up an Office of the Internal Affairs and appoint me as the Minister of the General Administration."

All the officials were talking, and Eunuch Gao had to shout solemnly before he could suppress it.

Li Shimin asked in a deep voice: "What is the trick of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Tell me what it means to listen."

"Responsible for the treasury, responsible for royal and court affairs."

"Hasn't I appointed you as an order for the treasury?" Li Shimin frowned and said, "As for royal palace affairs, the palace supervisor is responsible for it, so you don't have to worry about it."

Eunuch Gao was also confused. Why did Zhuluhou's hand still want to reach our territory?

The so-called Guanzhongjian is the functional department that controls the emperor's life, including the Shangshi Bureau, Shangyao Bureau, Shangyi Bureau, Shangshe Bureau, Shangcheng Bureau, and Shangnian Bureau. Eunuch Gao is the chief eunuch in charge of the Guanzhongjian.

Li Mu was calm and said, "Your Majesty, what I call taking charge of the royal and court affairs is different from what Your Majesty understands. What I mean is that the affairs of the royal and court affairs are not in the palace, but outside the palace."

Before Li Shimin asked, Li Mu explained consciously: "Your Majesty handed over the treasury to me, and I should take responsibility and do my best. But there is a saying that "a good wife can't cook without rice." I want to make money for Your Majesty and fill the treasury. I have no power in my hands, and it is not right. If Your Majesty appoints me as the Minister of the Office of the Internal Affairs, I can legitimately plan the imperial village, run business, and do business, and the money I earn will not be returned to the national treasury, but will go directly to the treasury."

"In addition, I can also take into account the external affairs purchased by the palace. The palace supervisor is naturally still responsible for the internal affairs. After all, I am not a eunuch and cannot always be with Your Majesty in the palace. However, I suggest that in order to streamline the official office, the palace supervisor can be abolished and placed in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The position of eunuch is established, and the general will be in charge of the original "palace supervisor". This will be more convenient to dispatch."

"this……"

After listening to Li Mu's explanation, Li Shimin's thoughts became lively.

He was a poor emperor, and money was very high in his heart. Without money, without armor, horses, cavalry, and cavalry, he would not be able to perform his big plans. Li Mu had one thing that touched him the most: the business of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the money earned was not as good as the national treasury, and it was directly in the treasury. The money of the national treasury was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Now the national treasury was empty and there was only a share of the advantage of the national treasury. It was too difficult to get a penny from the national treasury. And the money of the national treasury was decided by himself and did whatever he wanted.
