Chapter 598
"What do you want to do?
"I want to send the top scholar!" Li Mu's tone seemed to be saying, 'I want to throw coins again', and said: "I want to give the top scholar in Chang's subject to Ma Zhou and the top scholar in Jian's subject to Qin Huaidao. In this way, I will no longer be the top scholar, and Duke Wei does not have to take me as his teacher. However, since it was given away by me, I cannot be considered a loss, and I will not give it to the one thousand taels of gold. What does Your Majesty think?"
This is a good idea. All parties have their own advantages and can take care of Wei Zheng's face.
Li Shimin confirmed: "You really don't want the top scholar anymore? Then you have no fame and no regrets?"
"Your Majesty, I didn't say I don't want fame."
"What's this?" Li Shimin said annoyedly: "Can you ask me to order four top scorers?"
"My meaning is to change. Chang Ke's top scorer was given to Ma Zhou. He was the second place. He was promoted to the top scorer, and Tanhua was promoted to the top scorer, and I was the second place. As for the department, I would be the second place. As for the department, I would be the second place. I would be the second place. As for the department, I would be the second place. I would be the second place. As for the department, I would be the second place. As for the department, I would be the second place.
"What is this saying?"
Li Mu thought to himself, my name is Li Xunhuan, what did you say? But Li Shimin had never read "Little Li Flying Knife" after all, and he couldn't blame him if he didn't understand it. Li Mu had to make a fool of himself: "Your Majesty, I heard that this is the name of Tanhua. According to the rules, after selecting the top scholar, Your Majesty will give the Tanhua Banquet in Xinghua Garden, and choose the two most handsome as Tanhua Envoys. Visit the famous garden and pick flowers along the way. Then he wrote poems in Qionglin Garden and welcomed the top scholar with flowers. I am not talented. I just looked around and it seems that I am the youngest and most handsome. The top scholar is also given away by me. Isn't it in line with the name of Tanhua?"
"You can just be wrong!" Li Shimin sighed and said, "Forget it, who has promised me to promise you, who has really won the top scorer, today I will all follow you. A high-ranking official, who was sent an imperial edict, Li Mu, the lord of the marquis of the Lu, was named Li Xunhuan, and was a two-ranking scholar. He was also noble and honest, humble and moderate, and gave up the title of top scorer, and only added the last three-rank. I am very relieved. His literary talent and noble character are very noble, and he can be an example for scholars in the world. Now I give him the name of "national sage", and I have immediately recorded the stele in front of the Gongyuan."
Li Mu then laughed and said, "I thanked Your Majesty for your grace."
Li Shimin glared at him, as if saying, "You should be satisfied now, right?" He shook his head helplessly, turned around and left.
The students congratulated each other and followed the eunuch to Xinghua Garden for a banquet. Li Mu did not go. He smiled and looked at the big guys from the three provinces and six ministries, took out a stack of invitations from his arms, and sent them one by one, saying, "It doesn't matter whether people come or not, just get the gift. Don't come if you have less than 10,000 yuan, no one will serve you."
Changsun Wuji smiled bitterly and said, "Li Mu, are you falling into money now? Just keep your mouth shut and say it yourself. How many gifts are you going to do around the Chinese New Year?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "Oh, uncle, your family has a great career, do you still need this little money?"
"Don't say that, who has a great family and a great career, who can have money as much as you?"
"Oh, where did I get the money!" Li Mu complained and said, "You don't know how much money this Ministry of Internal Affairs has to spend every day! I'm paying me now, so you can just think it's good and make up for it. If you have any good business in the future, I won't forget you all--" Before he finished speaking, Eunuch Gao suddenly rushed over: "Marquis Zhulu, Your Majesty wants to see you!"
"I'll say a few words—"
"Stop talking, Your Majesty is going to see you now, come with me!" Eunuch Gao said without hesitation, and pulled Li Mu away. Li Mu shouted while being pulled away: "Everyone, go to the banquet, someone will greet you, I will be there later! Mr. Wei, I didn't ask you to take my master as your teacher. How much face will you give you? Remember to give me a gift. You have eaten me for several times in vain!"
Just dragged to Tai Chi Hall, Li Mu shook off Eunuch Gao's hand and said angrily: "What are you doing! What a big deal, what's the matter? What a hurry, what's wrong with Your Majesty?"
"I'm angry, go in quickly."
Eunuch Gao pushed the palace door open a crack and pushed Li Mu in. Li Mu staggered and before he could stand firm, a vase was smashed over, and quickly dodged away and smashed it to the ground and shattered it.
"Your Majesty, aren't you just quarrels with you? As for such a big fuss? You have also seen my articles. The top scholar is based on his ability, not just taking advantage of his mistakes!"
"I'm not talking about this!" Li Shimin said angrily: "I think you are hateful. I just figured out why you have to ask for this top scorer? You are for your handicap, right? After winning the two top scorers, you have to make a fortune again, right? I ask you, have you bet on my 100,000 yuan?"
"No, don't you let the bets bets? You said you won't make this money!"
"Why don't you bet?" Li Shimin glared and said, "You care about my treasury, just to make money for me. It is clear that the money-making matters are made, why don't you do it?"
Li Mu smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, you don't let me go, I will obey the order!"
"Do you know how to make money or do I know how to make money?"
"Then, that's probably because I know a little more than Your Majesty."
"That's it! You know better than me, why do you have to listen to me?"
Li Mu didn't know how to answer this, why? You are the emperor, and you have to be beheaded if you don't listen to you. Why do you ask?
Li Mu knew that he would be unable to stubborn Li Shimin anyway. He sighed and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think you should do?"
"Didn't you plan to bet 100,000 yuan for me, but in the end you didn't? You have to bear this responsibility!"
"How can I bear it? I can't go back to yesterday and then place a bet."
"Yes." Li Shimin nodded and said, "You can't go back to yesterday, but there is no way. I heard that you bet 100,000 guan by yourself, so why should I bet 100,000 guan? How much is the odds? How much can my 100,000 guan become?"
This is your 100,000 yuan? Take it!
Li Mu's eyes were red in anger. He was about to ignore his identity and argue with Li Shimin for a moment. He suddenly became stunned for a moment, and then laughed. He took out the bet order from his sleeve and presented it to Li Shimin with both hands, saying, "What Your Majesty thinks is exactly what I think, but I didn't have time to say it. This is the bet order, which is marked as 100,000 yuan. Your Majesty please take it and repay it tomorrow. Just ask Eunuch Gao to send someone to withdraw the money. Please give it back."
