Chapter 804
After deciding on his son's name, Li Mu wanted to name his daughter again. The sons were all called "Li Bai". The daughter was a few hours older than his son. After thinking about it, only "Li Qingzhao" was quite suitable. But after careful consideration, Li Qingzhao's fate seemed to be not very good, especially in terms of cause and condition. The first husband was a coward, and the second husband was a scumbag. If his daughter had such a fate, she would be unable to find any adjustments to cry.
Li Qingzhao doesn't need it. The matching name is Li, and it seems that there is no suitable one. Li Mu stared at his daughter for a while, his head as big as a melon, and said, "I can't afford it today, I have no inspiration, let me think about it." As he said that, he kissed his daughter on the forehead: "Wait until my father thinks about it carefully, I will definitely give you a good name!"
When the three girls heard this, they couldn't help but curl up their lips and sweat for their daughter. They had just seen Li Mu's ability to name Li Mu. One of their parents' surnames was Li and the other surname was Bai, and the other was Bai. What's this called? A farmer with a little money knew to ask a gentleman to give him a name when he gave birth. It was really too sarcastic to name Li Mu. But it can't be said that although Li Bai's name is a joke, it contains Li Mu's love for Qiaoqiao. There are so many men in the world, and how many of them are willing to add the wife's surname to their son's name?
In this era, women are still vassals of men. Only strangers like their husbands never look down on women, which is also his most attractive feature.
Of course, Qiaoqiao was so moved by Li Mu's actions that he was about to cry. Although he felt a little sorry for his son, he thought again, whose name was not chosen by his parents. In Mayi, those who grew up with him, and even those named Wang Goudan, didn't see them saying anything. Compared with Wang Goudan, Li Bai was much better. Qiaoqiao took his son over, pasted his chubby little face, and said, "Son, you will have a name in the future. Do you call him Li Bai? Is it nice?
Zhang Tianai and Jin Chen, seeing Qiaoqiao finally accepted it, they couldn't help but think of themselves. If this became a regular example, when they were born, what was the name of the child? Li Zhang? Li Jin? What was this? But if they objected, Li Mu would not stick to his own opinion. However, in this way, the child's name would be gone, and it seemed like he had lost something.
Zhang Tianai was worried, but suddenly saw Jin Chen as if he was pursing his lips and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "You still have the leisure to laugh, your child must be called Li Jin. If the boy is better, it would be so embarrassing for the girl. Li Jin, Li Jin, seems to be going to someone's house for a wedding wine,"
Jin Chen shook his head and said, "I am different from you. Although my name is Jin Chen, I am with my mother's surname. Now I marry my husband and come to the Central Plains. I should follow my father's surname. My father's surname is Tong. If I have a daughter, I will change my father's surname and name the child Li Tongtong. Is it better than Li Jin?"
"I still bring this kind of person? Why haven't I heard you say it?" Zhang Tianai looked at Li Mu and said, "Husband, is this true? She isn't lying, right?"
"It's really not." Li Mu briefly said about what happened in the Camel Valley dungeon that day and said, "My father-in-law left a message and planned to change her name, but he was used to it. There is no need to change it. The name is just a code name, just a casual word."
Jin Chen nodded, saying that he recognized Li Mu's words, but said, "If I have a daughter, I will change it."
...
Bai Qiaoqiao had just given birth and was still very weak. After chatting for so long, she became a little depressed. After feeding the child, she asked the mother to take over the child. Li Mu wanted to take care of him personally, but he was a big man and a new father. What can he know? Jin Chen knew a little, but he was not as skilled as the old mother. Don’t mention Zhang Tianai. She knows swords, guns, and halberds, but she knows nothing about taking care of the child.
After the child was asleep, he placed it in the cradle made by Li Mu himself. He placed it beside the bed so that Bai Qiaoqiao could see it at any time. A few days ago, when Li Mu was practicing carpenter skills, he made two cradles. He didn't think that Bai Qiaoqiao would give birth to two, one of which was prepared for Wang Ou's child, so now he had to take it over and use it first. When he had time, he would do one more.
Of course, Li Mu wanted to stay with Bai Qiaoqiao. Jin Chen and Zhang Tianai went back to the room. Wei Yingluo settled down on the matter outside and replied a few words at the door, but did not come in to disturb him.
Bai Qiaoqiao was so tired that she lay in Li Mu's arms, murmured for a few words, and then fell asleep again. Li Mu hugged her and looked at his children, and felt infinite satisfaction. He was a father for the first time in two lives. Although he was a little young in this life, he was not young at all in this era, and he was considered a suitable age. Including the twenty-eight years of his previous life, his psychological age was also time to be a father.
Suddenly, Li Mu remembered something. The child was born and hadn't told his mother yet. Although Sun was not his biological mother, in his heart, he was like his biological mother. Li Mu easily slept, Qiaoqiao helped him cover the quilt and tiptoed out of the bed. The two children were full and slept very soundly. Li Mu glanced at the child, put on his clothes, and came to the outer room.
Li Mu lit the candle and wrote a letter to his mother by telling her that the child had given birth, and attached the child's birth date and horoscope to it. He put it in an envelope and put it on it. Li Mu wrote a simple note, which was intended for Li Shimin. Although it was a bit unnecessary and he didn't write it, Li Shimin would know it, but after all, he asked it repeatedly and told me.
After writing this letter to Li Shimin, many people appeared in Li Mu's head. His father-in-law Bai Naoer, although Li Mu didn't like him very much, he was Qiaoqiao's biological father after all. These two children were his grandson and granddaughter. It was reasonable and he had to tell me, otherwise Qiaoqiao would be difficult to explain.
Li Ji is his adopted father, his own child, and his grandchildren, so he must tell him. In addition, he is now Li Jiancheng's heir, and Zheng Guanyin is his own mother in name, so he must tell him there.
Cheng Yaojin, with his personality of picking things, if he doesn't tell him, he will definitely pick things when he meets next time.
There is also the old man who grows potatoes in the valley who treats himself like a grandson. If he doesn't tell him, it will be unreasonable.
Li Mu had to write one note at a time, and before he knew it, it was dawn...
...
When Li Mu's flying pigeon arrived, Li Shimin had already received the news for six or seven hours. The news he received was divided into two groups. The first group was when his daughter was born. When the Dongchang man got the news, he immediately rushed to Chang'an for 800 miles. When his son was born, it was a few hours later, and another group of people were sent. As for Li Mu's news, it was sent the next morning, and Li Shimin only received it in the evening. The interval between the front and back was not six or seven hours.
But Li Shimin can only wait for Li Mu's news to react. Otherwise, he would be equivalent to admitting that he had put a spy next to Li Mu. Although this was obvious, Li Shimin would not admit it. Therefore, he did not reveal the news. When Li Mu's urgent report came in the evening, he "heard that the Marquis of Luoyang got a pair of children, and the dragon's face was very happy," and the daily note was written like this.
Of course there is a reward. But it was already evening and the palace gate had fallen. No matter how anxious it was, it was the next day. It just so happened that there was no major matter in the court today, so Li Shimin took this matter as a chat and asked all officials to give some advice on how to reward Li Mu's children.
Although Li Mu is no longer in the court, the influence is everywhere. Now, no one of the three provinces and six ministries must rely on the sacrificial government of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Who makes the Ministry of Internal Affairs rich? After the three provinces and six ministries changed the budget system, they each kept their own little money, fearing that they would spend it all and had nowhere to fill it. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has become a good place for them to make up for the autumn wind.
Logically speaking, the money of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is His Majesty’s inner treasury, and no one can do it without any action. But who made the world his Majesty’s own? If anyone of the six ministries really can’t get rid of the blame, Li Shimin can’t really stand by death. Most of them will still be able to pull it out, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not just allocate funds. If you have a little more flexible mind, some are ways to make money.
For example, there are many bandits in Yunnan and Guizhou, and the transportation of goods always requires worrying about being robbed, so the orders are profitable. In order to ensure the completion of the order, merchants are very happy to hire local government soldiers to help transport goods. This not only leaves labor, but also saves bodyguards.
The Ministry of War can also earn a comparison protection fee. Although it is not too much, it is better than it is, right?
Similar examples are extraordinary.
On the surface, the Office of the Internal Affairs has returned to the East Palace. But in fact, Li Mu's influence is deeply rooted. Although his Tang Dynasty Technical School was closed after only two periods, the students in these two periods basically worked in the Office of the Internal Affairs, especially the first period students, who can stand on their own. They are more or less imitating his words, deeds and styles of doing things. Even those who originally had a family background put Li Mu above their own family, and they don't know what kind of ecstasy they were drunk.
If anyone wants to say that Li Mu is not a word, he will be isolated immediately at the door of the Office of Internal Affairs in the future.
In any era when having children, it is a happy event. Even if you give Li Mu a person who is not very good at dealing with, it is hard to say something bad about this. Li Shimin spoke up and gave some advice. It was nothing more than giving gold locks, silk, gold and silver, etc., which have always been these things.
Everyone talked a lot, but Li Shimin did not express his opinion. Seeing his appearance, the officials understood in their hearts that this was not about the point or the heart. So, what is Your Majesty’s thought? These rewards are already very good. After all, it is just a child, not a meritorious service, and promotion is a bit too much.
It is really hard to guess Li Shimin's thoughts. Even Eunuch Gao couldn't figure it out this time. After receiving the news yesterday, Li Shimin was "longyan very happy" and then he should read the memorials, without any special features. He didn't discuss with anyone, and he didn't mutter. No one knew what he didn't think about.
"My dear friends, listen to me." Li Shimin interrupted everyone and said, "I have listened to my dear friends' suggestions. I am nothing more than wealth. Li Mu is very good at making money, and his family's wealth is more than one million. You all know them. He may not be able to take a fancy to these things, nor do I need them. How can I send back a gift? "
Everyone looked at each other and thought to themselves: Good, you must be really guessed. Your Majesty wants to take this opportunity to add Li Mu to another title, right? He is already the first marquis of the Tang Dynasty. Could it be that he wants to be a prince again? Is he going to be a prince again? This is too much!
The big guys standing in front looked at each other for a moment, but no one stood up. In the end, Wei Zheng stood up and said, "Your Majesty, although it is a happy event for the Marquis of Luoyang to give birth to a son, it is not a great contribution and should not be rewarded. Your Majesty wants to reward it is your Majesty's intention, and you will not dare to stop him. But if you talk about anything else, it is a bit too much. Please think about it again."
Wei Zheng said this was a pun. His implication was that if Li Mu gave birth to a child, then any marquis who gave birth to a child tomorrow would be considered a merit? Your Majesty would give him a reward? In addition, he also asked Li Shimin. Now the treasury is empty, and you can give it a reward, but no matter how much it costs, you can take it out of your own pocket. The treasury money cannot be spent here.
"Mr. Wei is very reasonable in his opinion." Li Shimin nodded, and seemed to listen: "I think so too. What I want to give to Li Mu is not these."
"What else can it be?" Everyone guessed in their hearts. Suddenly, Wei Zheng seemed to think of something, widened his eyes and said in a lost voice: "Your Majesty, no!"
What's not possible?
Everyone was puzzled and looked at Wei Zheng. At the same time, Changsun Wuji and others also guessed that no one pretended to be cowardly this time, and they all took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is absolutely not feasible!"
Seeing that all the three provinces and six ministries stood up to object, Li Shimin finally laughed: "Before I said it, you said no. It seems that my idea is really a bit unlucky. But, I have decided that this matter is a private matter after all, so I will decide. I want to issue an order to marry King Zhi of Jin to marry Li Mu's eldest daughter. The two children are of the same age, which must be a good marriage for heaven."
"Your Majesty! This matter is not something!" Changsun Wuji actually knelt down and held his head on his face: "Your Majesty, this matter is not only inconsistent with reason, but also inappropriate in terms of seniority. Li Mu is Your Majesty's son and nephew, how can he be a relative of his children? Moreover, the King of Jin is Your Majesty's legitimate son--"
