Chapter 141

Li Shimin finally got defeated and returned to the palace angrily.

This is also the result that Li Mu expected. From Li Shimin's appearance, Li Mu knew that he won today. As he analyzed before, Li Shimin's tolerance for real talents is very high. He, one hand, mine and the other hand, is three of the old family's five surnames and seven sects, and urgently needs to be appeased. On the other hand, there are the Guanlong nobles whom Li Shimin relies on in military affairs, and the minister of the dragon. Li Shimin must have an explanation to these two groups, but these two things were completely created by Li Mu, and only he knows the way of playing. Li Shimin wants to find someone to replace Li Mu, and it is impossible to find them.

Therefore, Li Mu became the indispensable person in the Tang Dynasty like Li Jing, and is irreplaceable.

Since it is irreplaceable, Li Shimin cannot do anything about him. This is Li Mu's reliance on his own presumptuousness. Moreover, Li Mu added a layer of packaging to his own presumptuousness. This layer of packaging uses his age and the "personality" he has always created. If you treat me as a "child", then I will be a "naughty child". Anyway, I am vulgar and have no education. I can't be stubborn? I can't be arrogant? I can't be uneducated? Who made me vulgar?

Of course, all this is based on the contribution that Li Mu has made.

The Zhenguan plow, printing techniques, horseshoes and other secret techniques, as well as the money paid in the craftsman's workshop, all of them have been "assisted conditions". Li Shimin felt guilty and felt that he owed Li Mu's favor, which was the top priority. Even an ambitious man like Changsun Wuji was deceived and just thought that Li Mu was confused. Otherwise, how would he explain that he dared to argue with Li Shimin?

Li Mu is a time traveler, and this prerequisite is unknown to everyone except himself. Although Changsun Wuji and Wang Gui are both among the people, they would never have thought that Li Mu made such a big fuss to win freedom and respect. Perhaps in their hearts, these two things did not exist at all. They could not understand what Li Mu cared about, just like why Li Mu had to struggle, they were things that each other could not understand.

As for why Li Mu finally threw out "Liuli", he was to remind Li Shimin. He is a useful person. His potential is unlimited. With Liuli today, what new things will be tomorrow? Who can know? Who can estimate it? As an emperor, Li Shimin must be included in the consideration.

Not to mention that Li Shimin has a good impression of Li Mu so far. Even if he is like Wei Zheng, Li Shimin wishes to kill him quickly, but because of Wei Zheng's irreplaceable nature of Shandong clans, he can still suppress his temper and give Wei Zheng a title. Li Mu knew that what Li Shimin really valued was his country. As long as it is useful to his country, he would not kill people randomly.

With the guarantee of these factors, Li Mu was fearless, passionate and polite. But after saying that, he was also very scared. After all, the ‘opposite debater’ is the emperor. If he is so angry that he loses his mind, he will not consider any country or country, and he will kill you... it is not impossible!

Fortunately, it didn't make a big fuss. Li Shimin is worthy of being the emperor of the ages. He has a great wise ruler, but he still controls his emotions. This "debate contest" ended with Li Mu's victory.

Since you have won, then...

Li Mu raised his eyebrows and curled the corners of his mouth.

The words are divided into two sides.

After leaving Dali Temple, Li Shimin angrily drove back to the palace. Changsun Wuji and Wang Guigong sent Li Shimin away, so they also wanted to return to their homes. Their mansions were not far apart, just along the way. Wang Gui bowed to Changsun Wuji and said, "Uncle Guo, can you take the same car with me? There is something happening, and I want to discuss it with my uncle."

When Changsun Wuji heard this, he said with ease: "What can't you do? Please, Shujie."

"Please, please."

The two of them politely gave each other, but Changsun Wuji got into the car first. Wang Gui then sat in the car together.

As the prime minister and Wang Gui was born in Taiyuan, he naturally did not lack money. His carriage was also very generous. Not to mention that two people could ride it, even six or eight people could ride it.

The two sat opposite each other and the carriage slowly moved forward.

Changsun Wuji looked at Wang Gui and said, "Shujie invited me here, I wonder what I want to discuss?"

Wang Gui smiled and said with some meaning: "Uncle Guo, I wonder what you think about today's affairs?"

"What's going on today?" Changsun Wuji did not answer easily, but returned the words and said, "What can Shujie say about Li Mu?"

Wang Gui nodded and said, "Have your majesty ever seen him treat a minister like this?"

Changsun Wuji frowned slightly. In fact, if Wang Gui didn't mention it, he noticed it. But Wang Gui mentioned it so much that he took it seriously.

Yes, when did Li Shimin treat a minister like this? Just after hearing the conversation between the two, Li Mu's presumptuousness and Li Shimin's tolerance were the company commander Sun Wuji, and he felt envious in his heart. Such kindness is definitely not ordinary.

However, Changsun Wuji would never show any envy in front of Wang Gui. Because he was the first person in the dynasty, he must not envy anyone, otherwise, the first person in the dynasty would have changed hands.

Changsun Wuji said lightly: "Li Mu has already been a clan member and is considered his majesty's nephew. Do you treat his nephews? Of course, there must be some differences."

Wang Gui just smiled, but did not expose it. Changsun Wuji looked at his smile and felt hatred in his heart. This old fox actually laughed at me. Don’t think I don’t know what you are thinking!

Changsun Wuji cleared his voice, changed his tone and said, "How come Shujie, why is he so coincidental today? He also came to the heaven and earth to buy tea? I guess he received some news? He came for something else?"

Wang Gui's smile froze, he restrained himself and said, "Why do you and I have to speak like this? You and I are each other. I am a mine, and the uncle is a salt... We are working hard, and profit is not a family, so why bother to make a sarcasm?"

When Changsun Wuji heard him say this, he felt much more relieved and said, "This is not bad at all... Li Mu said that tomorrow morning, the matter of mine will be solved and the matter of salt will be solved in the afternoon. Shujie, it seems that you have to go tomorrow morning? You can work in the prison, but it's a blessing that this guy can think of it!"

Wang Gui smiled and said, "What else can I do if I don't go there? I'm not in a hurry, but the Li family of Zhaojun and Cui family of Qinghe can't wait anymore. I had no choice but to let my uncle wait until afternoon. Then, after lunch, my uncle will have to go to prison?"

"Oh, there's no way!"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

At this time, the groom of Duke Zhao's mansion reminded him to his house outside the carriage. Changsun Wuji said goodbye to Wang Gui and got off his carriage. Wang Gui bowed his hand and continued to walk forward. There was still a while to his house.

Seeing the carriage getting farther away, Changsun Wuji's smile became cold, he shook his sleeves and walked straight into the mansion.

"Let Chong'er come to the study to see me!"

On the other side, Wang Gui also arrived at home. Wang Pu was waiting here early. When he saw Wang Gui get off the carriage, he quickly met him and said, "Brother, how is Li Mu?"

"It's okay, I'll explain to you later. I'll take a leave from the Imperial College tomorrow and take a walk to the Dali Temple Prison for me."

"ah?"

Tai Chi Palace.

After Li Shimin sat on the desk, he remained motionless, and an hour had passed.

Eunuch Gao asked twice whether to eat, but Li Shimin ignored him, as if he was hysterical. Eunuch Gao served Li Shimin for many years and knew that he was thinking about Li Mu's words. But it was not a big deal to continue like this, so he instructed the eunuch to go to Lizheng Hall to find Emperor Changsun.

After a while, Empress Changsun came. Eunuch Gao saw the ceremonial guard from afar, hurriedly went up to him and said, "Empress, please persuade me quickly. Your Majesty has been sitting there for an hour. If this continues, I will worry about the dragon body."

"Don't be impatient, go and prepare for dinner, I will go and have a look first."

"No." Eunuch Gao responded and went to prepare for dinner as he said. Empress Changsun asked the palace servants who accompanied him to wait outside the hall and entered the Tai Chi Hall alone.

"His Majesty."

"Hmm... um?" Li Shimin subconsciously responded. When he heard the voice of Queen Changsun, he raised his head as if he had just recovered from his senses. Seeing Queen Changsun's face full of concern, he forced a smile and said, "Why is the queen here? Is it a notification from the high-ranking officials? It's another useless move!"

Emperor Changsun later came to Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Gao is also thinking about your dragon body. I have heard about it. Li Mu is indeed a little presumptuous."

The phrase "child" gave Li Mu a "attachment" and reduced the degree of the matter. Since it was a child rather than a minister, it was naturally tolerant and there was no need to be too harsh.

But Li Shimin sounded particularly harsh. He remembered Li Mu's words that he said that he was bullying children and was not considered a gentleman, and he smiled bitterly again.

When Empress Changsun saw Li Shimin's reaction, she felt very strange and asked: "Your Majesty, did you say the wrong thing? Why did Your Majesty smile bitterly?"

Li Shimin repeated Li Mu's words from the beginning. When Empress Changsun heard it, she turned into the same expression as Li Shimin. But after a bitter smile, Empress Changsun said again: "Your Majesty, I think that Li Mu's words... have some truth. After thinking about it, this is really the case. Since this child came to Chang'an, he has no idea about His Majesty. He has invented any good things and immediately gave them to His Majesty. The money he earned was spent on official business, and he said everything he had in his heart. In my opinion, it is much better than those who complimented His Majesty and didn't know what he was thinking. What does His Majesty think?"
