"I have handed over the Office of the Internal Affairs--" Yu Zhining looked at Li Mu in shock, unable to believe Li Chengqian's words. In his opinion, the Office of the Internal Affairs is Li Mu's biggest reliance. How could he hand over his greatest reliance?

"The father has handed over the preparations for the coronation to the Office of the Interior. My brother said that I should do this and helped me take over the errand."

Yu Zhining took a breath of air conditioning. Suddenly, he tidied up his clothes and bowed. Li Mu chuckled and said, "Why, does his face become so fast?"

"The officials misunderstood the marquis. The marquis is the one who truly considers the prince!"

Li Mu was stunned and thought to himself why I thought about it. He glanced at Yu Zhining, without saying a word, and said, "Oh? I said that again, then tell me, how did this marquis consider it?"

"If you have the opportunity to compete for the position of crown prince today, only your Majesty's legitimate son." Yu Zhining talked happily and said, "Your Majesty has three legitimate sons. The crown prince is similar to the age of the King of Wei, and the King of Jin is still in his infancy, and there is almost no possibility of succession. The King of Wei has a reputation for literary talent and is deeply loved by Your Majesty. He is the biggest rival and hidden danger of the position of crown prince--"

Li Chengqian said unhappily: "Don't talk nonsense. Qingque is my brother, how could this happen? If you provoke me again, I will not forgive you."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Let him finish talking, who is that, you continue talking."

Yu Zhining continued: "The so-called superior army attacks and plans, and defeats others without fighting. This is exactly the cleverness of the Marquis. If the Marquis clearly supported the prince from the beginning, His Majesty might be suspicious, but the Marquis first supported the King of Wei and cleared his doubts. When the Marquis saw that the Marquis supported the King of Wei, he regarded the Marquis as the King of Wei's party. However, he did not know that the role of this literary museum was really not very important. Although literati and scholars could control public opinion, they were just literati after all. Ascending to the throne was not the pen of the literati!"

Li Mu raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the point?"

"It's soldiers, horses, money and food!" Yu Zhining seemed to have entered the state and carefully analyzed: "Now that Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and the Spring and Autumn Period is prosperous. No matter which prince is, the command of the army is like seeking death, so the soldiers and horses are not allowed to be involved. Then, only money and food are left. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is the place where money gathers in the world. If you control the Ministry of Internal Affairs, you will control the financial power of the treasury. For the prince, it is like a magic needle for the sea."

"First give the King of Wei, and then hand over the Office of the Internal Affairs to the Crown Prince with a compensatory attitude. Such a secret scheme of Chen Cang made the officials admire him and admire him!" Yu Zhining said with admiration. Li Mu wanted to laugh when he heard it. This is the brain circuit of a person with deep thoughts. He has so many ideas, he can figure out everything by himself. Li Mu looked at Li Chengqian and was about to explain this matter, but saw Li Chengqian looking at him with tears in his eyes, and smiled helplessly. Okay, don't explain it, another one to figure out.

Li Chengqian was a little excited. After Yu Zhining explained this, he suddenly realized that the person he had been looking for who could understand himself and know what he wanted was Li Mu. Although he didn't have much contact, he thought about himself in everything. His kindness to him was not like Yu Zhining and others. He always instilled in himself with his ideas. He did it silently and lays the foundation for everything before he met and thought about it.

"Brother——"

"Oh, stop talking about anything." Li Mu took a sip of wine and said, "It's really boring that Mr. Yu said this little thoughts clearly. Okay, since Your Majesty doesn't want to see me, I'll leave the palace. There are still many things that I need to deal with. Mr. Yu, for the matter of crowning, you should rely more on you and the officials of the Eastern Palace? What does this mean if you do it well? You must know what it means?"

Yu Zhining bowed and said, "The Marquis has laid everything straight and steadily. If the officials and officials still cannot handle this matter well, they will have no shame to stay in the Eastern Palace again. Please rest assured that there will be no mistakes."

"That's fine." Li Mu got up, Li Chengqian was about to come over, and he waved his hand. When he passed by Yu Zhining, Yu Zhining bent his waist lower. Li Mu smiled, said nothing, and left staggeringly.

After Li Mu left the bedroom, Yu Zhining stood up, looked at Li Mu's unrestrained back, and said in his heart: "I have never contacted the marquis before, and I don't know the details. Now I know that it is indeed an ordinary person at first sight. If the prince gets his arm, he will definitely be safe."

...

Li Mu identified the direction and planned not to go home first. He was the Honglu Temple. He humiliated the Tubo envoy yesterday and always had to deal with it. He was a strong neighbor. If there was really friction over this matter, the people would still suffer. He turned around and had not yet walked far. Suddenly, a horse leaned over and Li Mu looked at it. It was the Tubo prince yesterday.

"Just going to find you, the little prince is waiting here, why is he seeking revenge?"

"No." Although the Tubo prince was angry, there was not much disrespect in his tone. Instead, he said, "I am here to ask you about Princess Huanzhu!"

Li Mu glanced at him and said, "Little Prince, how old are you this year?"

"Thirteen!"

"Thirteen!" Li Mu thought to himself, indeed, he was right as he expected. The little prince was not old, but he was strong, and looked like he was fifteen or sixteen. He smiled and said, "Then do you know how old is the princess Huanzhu you like?"

"Ger than me," said the Tubo prince, and then said: "But I don't mind, I like her."

"Your Highness, Prince," Li Mu sighed and said, "This is not something you mind or not. Not to mention your marriage, Your Majesty has not agreed. Even if he agrees, it is also necessary for the Ministry of Rites to discuss which princess, princesses or simply the royal family girl's family to choose to marry you. Can you choose the princess of the Tang Dynasty? Who do you think you are!"

The Tubo prince didn't seem to understand Li Mu's sarcasm. After Li Mu finished speaking, he said again: "I don't like others, I like Princess Huanzhu! You said she is your sister, so you can help me tell her that no matter how many yaks and wildebeests I want, I promise her, as long as she is willing to marry me!"

"Yak? Antelope?" Li Mu said speechlessly: "Okay, I can't understand you. In short, don't think about marrying the princess. When you come to Chang'an this time, you say it's an apology, negotiation, and a marriage proposal. It's better to say it's a refuge. I will explain to Your Majesty that you can have a place to settle down. As for other things, remember one thing, people are more important to know themselves. The princesses and princesses of the Tang Dynasty are very arrogant. How could they marry foreign barbarians?"

The Tubo prince did not speak. After a long time, he put it in a sentence and said, "Marty, I really like her. Your books in the Central Plains say that a gentleman has the beauty of adulthood. Women will marry sooner or later. I don't know whether she suffers if she marrys others. But if she marrys me, I promise that she will not suffer. I will do my best to love her and protect her."

Li Mu laughed and said, "You boy has a strange accent, but you speak sternly, and it seems like that." Li Mu's eyes rolled and said, "Why don't you do this, I'll help you ask, but whether the matter is successful or not, I dare not protect you. Just leave it to fate, right?"

"Okay!" The Tubo prince did not say a word of nonsense and agreed happily.

The two walked side by side and passed the three street intersections. After Li Mu met the Tubo prince, there was no need to go to Honglu Temple, so he said goodbye to the Tubo prince. Back to Fengqiuhuang, Li Mu met Bai Qiaoqiao and Zhang Tianai, and Jin Chen went out to pick him up yet. He asked Zhang Tianai if Zhang Xun had been here, and the answer he got was that he had just left. Li Mu originally wanted to talk to Zhang Xun, but when he learned that he had just left and he had just arrived home, he no longer wanted to go out to meet him. He fell on the bed, pillowing on Zhang Tianai's legs, and listening to the two of them chatting, he fell asleep unconsciously.

...

Zhang Xun was King Gaochang, and Gaochang, who had a thirty-six small countries in the Western Regions, represented their trade with the Tang Dynasty. When the crown was about to be crowned, Zhang Xun had more and more social engagements. He had no mansion in Chang'an, so he naturally had to choose a good place to talk about things. He had face and private rooms in heaven and earth. The best of both worlds naturally became Zhang Xun's best choice.

There was a private room on the second floor. After drinking with the envoys for a while, Zhang Xun came out of the private room on the excuse of being unable to drink. He followed a guy to the inconspicuous private room in the corner and knocked on the door of the private room three times. The door of the private room opened, and Zhang Xun walked in.

"I've seen the leader." The one who opened the door was the master here, Princess Huanzhu Li Yourong. She had been the princess for several months, and she naturally showed the royal majesty on her body on weekdays, but in front of Zhang Xun, she was very afraid and didn't even dare to raise her head.

"You are already the princess of the Tang Dynasty, so you shouldn't do this." Zhang Xun didn't mean to be polite, but was like a teacher pointed out the problem of the students. Li Yourong didn't dare to tell the difference and lowered his head and didn't speak.

"In recent times, there has been no useful news for a long time."

"Chief Rong Bing." Li Yourong hurriedly explained, "In recent times, I have been with the Supreme Emperor in Xiaoyao Valley to recuperate and rarely return to Chang'an City. But as long as I have the chance, I will send news back. It is not a slackness. Please ask the leader to observe clearly."

Zhang Xun looked at Li Yourong and laughed: "Don't be so nervous. I didn't say I didn't trust you. I just wanted to remind you who gave your life."

Li Yourong shook like a sieve and said tremblingly: "My life is saved by the leader, and I am ready to return it to the leader at any time."

"No need, your life is useless to me. Make the things arranged for you, and your life is worry-free." Zhang Xun paused and asked, "Let's tell me everything after Li Mu returned to Chang'an."

"Yes," Li Yourong said without any hesitation, and said in full detail about what she knew about Li Mu after returning to Chang'an from the beginning to the end.

When he heard how arrogant Li Mu was, how he met with the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Dali Temple Prison, and how he defended, Zhang Xun's expression did not change much. But when he heard that Li Mu was not Sun's biological child, there were some rumors about Li Mu's life experience, his eyes narrowed.

A memory that had been covered with dust for many years gradually came to his mind. His chest ached and he started to cough.

"Chief." Li Yourong made a concerned look, but Zhang Xun waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's an old problem. You are doing well, go and do it, I'll rest here for a while."

"Yes, leader." Li Yourong bowed and walked out of the house, and gently brought the door. Her back was already soaked in sweat. Although Zhang Xun looked like a sick tiger, the shadow he left in Li Yourong's heart could not dissipate. Li Yourong took a deep breath, looked back at the door of the private room in fear, and walked away quickly.

Zhang Xun had no intention of caring about Li Yourong's thoughts, and he was shocked by the message he just received.

Is there such a coincidence in this world? Li Mu is not Sun's biological child, and there are all rumors. Time and place. More importantly, when Zhang Xun saw Li Mu, he felt that this person looked familiar. Now, Li Muru is really that child. He doesn't look very much like his father, but very much like his mother!

He coughed twice, and his chest ached faintly. Cousin, I heard that you have never returned to the Central Plains in recent years. Is it because of this child? You lost the child and have no face to face it? If you knew that the child was still alive, would you come back?

I hope you will come back! Now that I have become the King of Gaochang, I have to taste my long-cherished wish in my life. The only thing I have to do is to kill you. You have to come back soon so that I can kill you, and there will be no regrets in this life.

The past swayed in my mind. Zhang Xun stood up and pushed open the door, walked out of the private room. He took a few deep breaths, walked back to the private room where the banquet was, and his face returned to the usual smile.

"Everyone, drink this cup together."

"Thank you, King Gaochang!"

...

"Son-in-law." Bai Naoer and Zhang Xun came together, and Li Mu's head instantly widened twice. But he couldn't ignore it. Bai Qiaoqiao and Zhang Tianai had already greeted each other with his father. Li Mu had to squeeze out a smile, walked over and salute, and said, "The two father-in-laws, come together, the son-in-law is frightened."

The two father-in-law waved their hands repeatedly, and Bai Naoer said, "I bought some supplements for Qiaoqiao. The child's body is getting heavier and heavier, but I need to make up for it. I met Brother Zhang at the door. Let's talk to Qiaoqiao."

"Please give me your wish." Li Mu looked at Zhang Xun and said, "Father-in-law, I'm having something to do with you."

"I just happened to have one thing, and I want to tell you that I know with my son-in-law."

Li Mu looked at Zhang Xun strangely and thought to himself that I had something to do. I knew in my heart that what could he have to do with me? But Zhang Tianai was next to him and it was hard to speak. Li Mu smiled and reached out to signal.

Zhang Tianai wanted to follow him, but was driven away by Zhang Xun. The father-in-law and son-in-law came to the warehouse, and Li Mu said, "Father-in-law, what's the matter with me?"

"Why not a good son-in-law talk first?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "My affairs are not big, so my father-in-law will talk about it first. Come here specially, it must be a big deal!"
