After the court talks ended, Li Shimin returned to Tai Chi Hall, his face sinking like water.

Eunuch Gao followed carefully and kept winking at the little eunuchs and palace maids around him. Today, His Majesty was in a bad mood and was more eye-catching and hiding. If something was wrong and made Long Yan furious, the Yeting Palace still lacked people.

Li Shimin sat behind the desk expressionlessly. Two little eunuchs came over with today's memorials and placed them on the left hand of the desk at the instructions of Eunuch Gao.

"High-ranking officials."

"At." Eunuch Gao hurriedly agreed and came closer.

"Find out the memorial jointly signed by Auxiliary and Wang Gui."

"No." Eunuch Gao flipped through the memorials, and it was at the top. The thickest one was found and opened in front of Li Shimin.

Li Shimin was calm and read it again from beginning to end. He suddenly became furious and threw the memorial to the ground.

"I've made it a big mistake for Li Mu! The auxiliary machine can't trust him. Who else can I trust?!"

This sentence was heartbroken. Eunuch Gao was so scared that he was sweating profusely. He quickly knelt down on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, I am dedicated to it-"

"Get up, I didn't say anything to you." Li Shimin suppressed his anger and raised his hand. Eunuch Gao got up, but he was still frightened and dared not say much.

Li Shimin sighed: "High-ranking officials, I know your loyalty to me. But I think that your loyalty to me is not unrelated to you being a eunuch. If you are like Jiji and others, you have your own family and the interests involved behind it, it is the same! I have never doubted Jiji's loyalty before, but today it seems that Jiji's thoughts may not be for me. He has changed and he has begun to consider his Changsun family!"

This is the logic of the emperor. As long as the ministers are not in line with their hearts, they will change their minds. I? How could I change? Even if I change, you will force me.

It was related to Changsun Wuji and how Eunuch Gao dared to interfere, he responded timidly and got confused.

Li Shimin didn't take his opinion seriously and sighed: "Why can't I hand over them? Am I not good enough to them? I'm granting high officials, rich salaries, rich clothes, and high positions and power. Why are they not satisfied? Why can't they share my worries like Li Mu?"

When Eunuch Gao heard this, his eyes turned, saying, "What is a master?" Zhulu Hou is a master." A simple sentence actually played such a great role in disagreement. It made His Majesty suspicious of his uncle. It would be fine if he didn't do it on purpose, but if he did it on purpose, how cunning would it be."

Fortunately, I am a eunuch, and this kind of fighting has nothing to do with me. Eunuch Gao naturally won’t inform me and remind me. What are the benefits? Being a human being in the middle is that the end result is that it is not a human being inside and outside. After following the emperor for many years, Eunuch Gao has already understood it well. Many times, it is best to be confused.

Li Shimin was too angry, and he had already decided on this matter. Since Changsun Wuji and Wang Gui checked and balanced each other, he would only feel more at ease from his perspective. The direction of the matter was in line with his wishes, but Changsun Wuji finally couldn't help but jump out, which made him quite displeased.

With the comparison of Wang Gui and Changsun Wuji's greed and selfishness, Li Mu's character of "high-spirited and honest" became clear in an instant. Li Shimin couldn't help but think of Li Mu and asked: "High-ranking officials, is there any news about Li Mu today? What is this kid doing?"

"Yes." Eunuch Gao responded quickly, took out today's copy of the "Da Tang Daily" from his arms, turned to the front page and pointed it to Li Shimin, and said, "Your Majesty, please read it. Today's front page of the Da Tang Daily published an exclusive interview with Zhulu Hou."

"Exclusive interview?" Li Shimin heard this word for the first time and asked in confusion: "What is an exclusive interview?"

"Didn't you indicate it here?" Gao found the mark and pointed it to Li Shimin: "The interview means to find a special person to give special answers to special matters. The recent road construction has been very popular, involving Zhulu Hou. There are many criticisms between the court and the government and the people. In addition, the impeachment of the Censor Wang Jingze, Zhulu Hou's reputation was damaged. As a result, Zhulu Hou had to accept an exclusive interview with the Tang Daily and respond to recent events."

Li Shimin couldn't help but smile and said, "You don't have to look at me and know that it's another new trick used by this kid. Tang Guan, the editor of the Tang Daily, is his step brother. If I guess correctly this so-called exclusive interview, I will definitely shirke the responsibility and throw all the faults to the Wang family in Taiyuan, right?"

"Not." Eunuch Gao's first thing is to read the newspaper every morning, so that Li Shimin can save time. He flipped through the newspaper and went to the second page and pointed it to Li Shimin, saying, "Your Majesty, please read it. Zhulu Hou did not blame others too much. He just mentioned it repeatedly because he was too young and was only focused on solving problems and thinking things simple, so he became fooled by a clan. In order to prove that he did not profit from it and formed a clan for personal gain, he had to spend 100,000 yuan to repair the alleys in Chang'an City-"

"100,000 guan!" Li Shimin's attention was instantly concentrated. He stared at the place where Eunuch Gao pointed out and looked repeatedly, frowned, and said, "Not only did he take out 100,000 guan to build the road, but he also had to set up carriages and horses in eight directions in the city. Is this kid crazy?"

"I don't know, I guess I'm angry."

"Oh!" Li Shimin sighed and said, "This kid is so insane." Li Shimin sighed, and then couldn't help but touch the corners of his mouth, and laughed, saying, "Since the former Emperor Yang of Sui built the Dongdu, Chang'an has gradually become ruined. His father established the capital of Chang'an. At that time, he thought that if he had to rest, he would repair it sooner or later. Now, with Li Mu invested in repairing the alley, it would save the court a lot of money."

Li Shimin said happily: "High-ranking officials, in this way, it seems that they are fighting against each other, and I have reaped benefits."

Eunuch Gao didn't dare to ruin Li Shimin's interest, but he reminded: "At present, it seems that this is true. It's just that Zhulu Hou is not the one who suffers losses. He has spent 100,000 yuan this time. I think this anger is quite good. Sooner or later, he has to make up for it."

"Well—" Li Shimin nodded and said, "Your concerns make sense. Li Mu never suffers losses. He will definitely find a way to make up for it. But this is normal. You can't always lose money. When he really wants to find a way to make up for it, I will help him a little, which can be considered as paying back his favor."

Hearing this, Eunuch Gao began to complain in his heart again, look, look at his method, making His Majesty feel that he owes others favors. He is such a master!

Thinking of this in my heart, I said to myself: "Your Majesty is wise."

"What's the Shengming? OK. I'm feeling a little better now. Summon Yu Shinan over and I want to ask him about Ju Wentai and his party."

"promise."

Eunuch Gao responded and turned around and went out. Li Shimin looked at the newspaper again. When he saw the "100,000 yuan", he couldn't help laughing again. The amount of money was a trivial matter, mainly because Li Mu was cheated, so he was inexplicably happy. I don't know when this feeling started, but I just enjoyed it.

At the same time, in heaven and earth.

In the private room on the second floor, Wang Gui placed a banquet and invited Changsun Wuji, Dugu Xiude and others to celebrate the approval of the two families' joint road construction, and the second is to apologize to Li Mu. Everyone in the Tang Dynasty Daily read today. In order to prove his innocence, Li Mu was allowed to go out to repair the alley with 100,000 guan, which was a heavy bleeding. Although the people sitting on this table were all the heads of the family and the masters of the lords, it would not be easy if they took out 100,000 guan.

The property of aristocratic families is scattered on many things, such as land, shops, etc. The real cash, in the words of later generations, may not be much, so-called "cash flow". Otherwise, when the stock was invested in the previous period, Gu Duyi would not use grain to calculate the money.

In this regard, Li Mu is much better than them. Because Li Mu's winery has always settled in person, and he will not take away the wine without paying money, and people don't have to worry about selling it. Since the winery split, all sales in the east and south directions of Chang'an have been earned by Li Mu. In addition, the workers are already familiar with them, and they have brought out many apprentices and added two more production lines. Now, the sales of one month has reached three times the previous one, and 100,000 yuan is just two or three months of income.

Moreover, Li Mu is not the only one leg. The horse farm has the same mom as Bai Qiaoqiao's shop is about to open. Perfume, mirror, and soap are all profitable, so he is not worried about money at all.

But if he had a lot of money in his hands now, he really didn't have 100,000 guan. In recent days, he has spent a lot of money. Sun Simiao's 1,000 guan was 1,000 guan. Bai Qiaoqiao's shop spent 30,000 guan and paid the craftsmen wages. The miscellaneous amount was 20,000 guan. The money in the mansion was only about 50,000 guan. But Li Mu had this kind of ability. He said 100,000 guan, but no one thought he could not take it out because his impression of "not short of money" had already been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Will a person who has money and has no place to spend money and publishes money in the newspaper without money?

When everyone was surprised when they heard that Li Mu was going to spend 100,000 guan to build the alley in Chang'an, they all admired his courage. At least this kind of thing would not be possible if any of them were. But at the same time, Wang Gui and Changsun Wuji also understood that money would not be spent in vain. Li Mu spent 100,000 guan to build the road, but he had not gained any profit at all. Sooner or later, it would be a matter.

Therefore, Wang Gui held this banquet in order to have a good chat during the meal and find a way to compensate Li Mu. The two even agreed in private that they could give Li Mu up to 30% of their benefits, which was not a waste of his work.

But the people sent to invite him had been there for a long time. Li Mu had not arrived yet, and the others had arrived early. Everyone couldn't help but whisper. Could it be that Li Mu was so disrespectful that Wang Gui was the prime minister and the elder, and he was condescendingly and asked for him, but he didn't come?

As time passed by little by little, Wang Gui couldn't hold back his face. He whispered to Wang Pu: "My brother, why don't you go and have a look?"

Wang Pu said with a headache: "Brother, I really have no shame to come to the door."

"What should I do--"
