Brother?

Liu Mu didn't react at all when he first heard this, he had a younger brother there.

Li Yuan continued at this time: "Yuan Jing added General You Xiaowei six years ago, and it is said that this year is exactly eighteen, and as the first prince who is about to become an adult, it is a headache for his father. ”

Yanagi reacted, but he didn't know what to do.

At this time, Liu Mu suddenly thought that if calculated according to the virtual age of one year, Li Chengqian was seventeen, Li Ke was seventeen, and Li Tai was sixteen.

Li Yuanjing was born in the year of Wude, that is, in 618 AD. Li Chengqian and Li Ke were both born in the second year of Wude, and they are exactly sixteen years old this year.

Speaking of which, the two of them are about to be eighteen.

What does Li Yuan really want to ask is Li Yuanjing or Li Chengqian?

The question stumped Yanagi, who didn't know how to answer this incomparably complex question.

"Father, it's better to be ......" Liu Mu hesitated when the words came to his mouth, his own territory needs to be managed, but it can't be handed over to the prince, they are too young and impulsive, they are afraid that there will be chaos.

Li Yuan waited patiently, he was waiting for Liu Mu's advice.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Mu gritted his teeth: "Erchen thinks that Cheng Qian is about to be eighteen years old, so it is better to hand over Temasek to him to exercise his ability to govern important state capitals." What does my father think? ”

"Not good." Li Yuan directly rejected Liu Mu's idea.

However, this time Li Yuan did not let Liu Mu guess, but said: "Temasek is so important, Chengqian, this kid is still far away, if Temasek fails, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"What does the Emperor propose?" Yanagi finally threw the pot out.

Li Yuan was really thinking, and he didn't care about Liu Mu's words, and quickly said: "Take the map, ask for the Nanyang sea chart." ”

Liu Mu took the map, but to Liu Mu's surprise, Li Yuan stared at the map for a long time and did not draw a conclusion.

Then until the evening, Li Yuan still looked at the map from time to time, and he didn't say a word all afternoon, obviously this idea is not easy to take.

When eating supper, Li Yuan said to Liu Mu: "Write a letter and ask all the princes over the age of fourteen to come over, just say that it is your meaning, don't say that it is for the father." ”

"Okay, I'll write it right away."

Liu Mu didn't ask Li Yuan what reason he used, since Li Yuan was unwilling to come forward by himself, then the reason could only be made up by Liu Mu, and if he had to ask for instructions on everything, he would be very incompetent.

The letter was quickly written, and Li Yuan asked, "What is the reason?" ”

"Assessment, call them over, I'm going to give them a lesson, and then I'll take a test. As for what classes to take and what to test, I didn't write. I believe that the second brother will understand the meaning, and sometimes it may not be necessary to make it completely clear. ”

Li Yuan nodded, this answer is okay, but not enough.

Li Yuan said to Liu Mu: "One more letter, you said that there are some military affairs to exterminate bandits, and they can try it." ”

"Write it right away."

According to Li Yuan's meaning, Liu Mu added another letter, and the two letters were sent together to be sent to Chang'an.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Mu was still in his dream and did not wake up, but Li Yuan ordered to pack his bags, and his ship began to replenish, ready to travel at any time.

After Liu Mu woke up, Li Yuan's boat was ready to set off.

When Liu Mu arrived at the dock, Li Yuan's boat had already left, leaving only a letter for Liu Mu.

And in the letter, there are only two simple sentences.

The first sentence is that my father wants to go to the southeast of the Thousand Islands Road.

The second sentence is that children and grandchildren have their own blessings.

Willow stood on the dock with the letter in his hand in a daze for a quarter of an hour.

These two sentences don't seem like much, but Liu Mu thinks more, and Liu Mu first thinks of Li Yuanji's death, and then Li Jiancheng is forced to rebel.

No one who can be an emperor has a low IQ, and it is unwise to underestimate any emperor.

So, how much does Li Yuan know about what happened in the past?

Especially the sentence that children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, it really scared Liu Mu, coupled with Li Yuan's reaction this time for the matter of Li Chengqian and Li Ke and other princes, Liu Mu couldn't help but think about what had happened.

It has been six years since Li Shimin ascended the throne, and what happened seven years ago is still vivid in Liu Mu's mind.

Even if Liu Mu hid out and was not in Chang'an, he was involved in everything.

Liu Mu's heart was in turmoil, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Liu Mu doesn't know how long he has been standing on the dock, many people only think that Liu Mu and the Emperor Li Yuan have a deep relationship, you must know that Liu Mu was very good to Liu Mu when he was still a small country man, and Liu Mu can marry Dugu Lanruo is the result of Li Yuan's full support.

Li Yuan went on an expedition again, but Liu Mu couldn't see him off, and it was estimated that he would be uncomfortable.

Niu Jinda stood in the distance and waited for a full quarter of an hour, and saw that Liu Mu was still in a daze, so he stepped forward and stood beside Liu Mu: "I'm ready here." ”

"What?" Yanagi didn't react.

Niu Jinda said: "My subordinates can go out at any time. The remaining four troops are still being prepared, and the logistics part is still a little worse, but Yue Guogong sent his eldest son Feng Zhiji to escort a batch of grain, and also brought two thousand elites to come, and hoped to let his eldest son be the vanguard of the soldiers. ”

"Yes." Yanagi just nodded.

Niu Jinda said: "At present, the soldiers, horses, grain and grass are about to be ready, but we still need an excuse to go to war, a reason to convince the world. ”

Liu Mu asked rhetorically: "General Niu, why do we need a reason?" ”

"Attacking other countries at will is an unjust war, so you need a reason, even if it's a far-fetched excuse. At this point, the two Shangshu are also thinking about what reason is more appropriate. ”

Liu Mu didn't speak, he was still thinking about Li Yuan's affairs in his head.

Niu Jinda continued: "We have already punished the six edicts for their intention to grab grain. If there is a full-scale war now......"

Niu Jinda didn't speak when he was rudely interrupted by Liu Mu.

Liu Mu said fiercely: "There are only failed wars in the world, and there are no unjust wars. If you win, you can say anything, and if you lose, you can't say anything. Pass my order, prepare for battle, be ready to fight at any time, and then each vanguard battalion will leave me a position of adjutant general. ”

"Adjutant general?" Niu Jinda didn't understand the position of deputy general as a talent.

Niu Jinda said anxiously: "If the Foreign Legion adds a deputy general at this time, I am afraid that it will affect the morale. They will think that Datang can't trust them. ”

"No, leave it to the princes, the sixth and seventh brothers of the saint, the eldest son, the third son, and the fourth son of the saint."

After Liu Mu finished speaking, he strode away without waiting for the stunned Niu Jinda to react.

Left behind the messy cow in the wind.
