After Li Shimin instructed everyone to leave, the ministers gave a salute.

"The ministers are leaving."

Li Shimin pointed at Qin Qiong at this time: "Uncle Bao, you still have a year to recuperate, and after eighteen months, I want you to go to the outside of the country with the army." I can't wait to see Jieli kneeling in front of me, or his head. ”

"Minister, don't disgrace your life." Qin Qiong gave a big gift.

"If there are no accidents, this is the last time you will go to Datang in your life, don't leave regrets."

"Thank you, the emperor." Qin Qiong gave another salute.

Qin Qiong's situation and the ministers all understand that it is not that his body is not recovering well, but that he cannot be promoted and sealed. It is absolutely impossible to be crowned a prince with a foreign surname, Qin Qiong's county king is a kind of grace for the new emperor to ascend the throne, and now Qin Qiong's last battle is to repay this grace.

After that, Qin Qiong, as the general of the Zhenguo Protector, guarded Chang'an until he was old.

In the future, after his death, he will be crowned with the title of Prince as a sign of honor.

Of course, if there are surprises. This accident is the ultimate national war that Datang needs to use the power of the whole country to launch, whether it is offensive or defensive, everything will not be normal at that time.

This is also what the Tang Emperor Li Shimin said, if there is no accident, this is the last time Qin Qiong will go on an expedition for the Tang Dynasty.

After the courtiers retreated, Baoqin also hurriedly left Liumu's study.

Only then did Li Shimin ask: "Do you plan to participate in the Northern Expedition next year?" My father is definitely going to go, but he will not participate in military affairs, but he will only fulfill a wish. ”

"What am I going to do, mixed meritorious?"

Li Shimin smiled: "It's the same." ”

Liu Mu sighed heavily: "Second brother, you must have heard of the dragon horse on the grassland, it takes a lot of preparation to train such a horse, and it may not be successful. ”

"Yes."

"This steam engine is more fierce than Ryoma, and there are countless preparations to be made if you want to train the steam engine Datang. The most terrible thing I didn't write down is that if wealth is gathered in the hands of a few, the world will be in chaos. ”

Li Shimin laughed: "You can't help it, it doesn't mean that the second brother can't help it." This matter, although it is a bit troublesome, there is a way to solve it. ”

"Really?"

Li Shimin nodded: "Wealth should have been gathered in the hands of a few. When I have time for this truth, the second brother will tell you slowly, and now I will talk about the benefits brought by the quantification of this workshop. More than sixty percent of the wealth is gathered in the treasury, thirty percent belongs to the royal family, the noble family, the famous family, and the wealthy businessmen, and one percent belongs to the people. ”

"Ahh Yanagi didn't expect it to be such an answer.

"If you don't understand, it's okay. The second brother has time to explain to you slowly, as you just said, the most important thing at the moment is...... Spring festival! ”

Chinese New Year, for ordinary people, it is a day of family reunion.

But for the top aristocracy, no.

It is a great honor to have an invitation to the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet of the Taiji Hall on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Willow is no exception.

However, Liu Mu had other ideas: "Second brother, give me a few special invitations, I want to pick a few ghost workers to participate in the night banquet of Taiji Palace." ”

Li Shimin nodded, shook his head again, and then said to Liu Mu: "The second brother can't answer you in this matter, you wait." If it is feasible, the Ministry of Rites will give you the paperwork before noon tomorrow, if not, don't fight. ”

"Second Brother Xie."

"Don't say thank you, your second brother understands your thoughts, but the courtiers may not understand, there are some things to be delayed."

Li Shimin didn't let Liu Mu send it, and walked to the palace by himself.

Walking to the door that was originally sealed, Li Shimin couldn't help but shake his head, and then went straight out of Liumu Mansion to return to the palace.

Li Shimin has never understood why Liu Mu sealed this door, whether Liu Mu enters the palace or goes here by himself, he has to go around in a big circle.

I don't mind being the emperor.

It seems that the people in the Ministry of Rites are also very troublesome, such as Liu Mu's mention today to let the ghost workers participate in the banquet of the Tai Chi Palace, Li Shimin, as the emperor, did not dare to agree, and he had to send someone to the Ministry of Rites to discuss before he could give Liu Mu an answer.

Yanagi sat alone in his study, calmly sorting out the manuscripts.

When Baoqin came in to accompany Liu Mu to tidy up, he whispered: "Lang Jun, the Ministry of Rites has given Wenyue Pavilion two places. ”

"Really?" Liu Mu turned his head to look at Baoqin.

Baoqin nodded: "Really, it was sent to Wenyue Pavilion this morning." It is estimated that Wenyue Pavilion will still be discussing who will go to these two places. ”

"Not a lottery?"

"No, how can such a big event be drawn. However, there may be a competition, and Mr. Ma Zhou has already gone there in person. ”

Hearing that Ma Zhou had passed, Liu Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

Ma Zhou's handling of this matter will be better than Qin Qiong or Zhang Chuchen.

According to Qin Qiong, it is the simplest to compare whose merits are higher. According to Zhang Chuchen's practice, he fights, and whoever wins the battle will go. Ma Zhou will definitely have a better way.

Baoqin said again: "Since even the Green Forest Ranger has two places, I believe that there will also be two ghost workers." ”

"Two, quite a few." Liu Mu was very emotional.

For the top nobles of the Tang Dynasty, the craftsman is an inferior person, and at present, because of the practical benefits brought by various technologies to the Tang Dynasty, the status of the craftsman has also been improved, but it is far from the level of the noble.

That is, a ghost worker, a person who stands alone and has unpredictable skills, such a talent has barely received a little respect from the nobles of the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, Wenyue Pavilion.

Zhang Chuchen is here, as Liu Mu guessed, her opinion is to beat, don't slap in the face, and whoever stands in the end will go.

Ma Zhou, Ma Zhou has been ignoring the affairs of Wenyue Pavilion for almost a year, and after the New Year, he has a new position, as a kind of deputy position of Li Shimin's clerical department, and the official position under the fourth grade is still the fifth grade.

Ma Zhouwu, everyone laughed: "This is not the second day of the junior high school yet, why did the son-in-law of Wenyue Pavilion come to pay New Year's greetings in advance." ”

Many of the rangers are alone, and some of them come from famous families, but since they have entered the green forest, they do not plan to return to their homes until they are not famous.

So Wenyue Pavilion is their home in a sense.

After Ma Zhou gave his hands one by one, he asked his entourage to put two boxes of wine on the table: "This is good wine, my lady heard the news, and I personally went to Liu Juma's mansion to ask for it." ”

Someone went to grab the wine at that moment, Zhang Chuchen knocked it on the table with a horsewhip, and the room instantly became quiet.

Ma Zhou walked to the front to give Zhang Chuchen a salute first, and then picked up two gilded documents, which he could enter the Taiji Palace on Chinese New Year's Eve. There are two types of instruments, one is gilded and the other is silver-plated.

The golden one can enter the Taiji Palace, even if it is just a seat in the corner, it is already the dream of countless people.

Silver, you can enter the Taiji Palace, in front of the palace will be a banquet, the place is the first self-taken buffet banquet created by Liu Mu, but the people who are qualified to come are not for food, but for a reputation.
