Liu Mu thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, that's it." The Zhuangzi was changed again, two more courtyards were built in front, and any official business was usually handled there, and then if there were guests coming, ordinary ordinary guests were also there. That's good. ”

"Yes." Baoqin nodded happily.

A few days later, he finally got the permission of the Emperor Taishang of the Tang Dynasty, and Liu Mu could go back to Chang'an first.

At this time, Chang'an City.

The new emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, was in high spirits, and he summoned envoys from all the small states in Chang'an City.

"Since I ascended the throne, there have been a lot of miscellaneous matters, and today I have a banquet ......" Li Shimin didn't need to read the manuscript at all, he raised his wine glass and said in one breath for two quarters of an hour, counting the friendliness of the Tang Dynasty, as well as the friendship between the Tang Dynasty and various small states.

After speaking of friendship, Li Shimin's tone changed: "However, the Eastern Turks are ferocious, and the Western Turkic Khans are friendly with the surrounding states. When I came to Datang, I was ambushed by Jieli, and I was distressed. Therefore, I sent troops to attack Jieli, thinking that Tongye would seek justice. ”

There is a reason to go to war, even if it is an excuse.

Li Shimin did not speak out when the battle started, and only after winning the battle did Li Shimin stand up and speak.

It's always easier for the winner to organize the lines.

The people in Chang'an from various small states only understood one sentence, that is, my Tang Emperor has taught Jieli a lesson, and I will tell you later on small issues such as how many enemies I killed, in short, Jieli was defeated.

At a banquet of praise for virtue, Li Shimin's smile was not very sincere.

After sending away these small state figures, Li Shimin sat alone on the imperial seat with a serious expression, the victory in the war did make him happy, but this happiness was not enough to be equal to the current troubles he encountered, and it could not solve the current troubles.

The old courtiers of the Qin Wangfu were fighting for power.

Li Shimin really had a headache in this matter, and what made Li Shimin even more headache was that the eldest grandson Wuji was fighting openly and secretly.

Picking up the watch in his hand that Xiao Yu told the old, Li Shimin's biggest headache was the candidate for Shangshu's left servant.

The eldest grandson Wujian entered at this time and signaled to retreat left and right.

Holding a cup of ginseng tea, the eldest grandson came to Li Shimin's side.

Li Shimin said in a low voice: "In the third year of Wude, I once said to Wuji that if I am the emperor, he will be the prime minister. But now it's different from what I expected, I didn't expect to sit on the throne at such a young age, and I originally thought that I would fight with the crown prince for more than ten years, and I was the one who contributed to all this...... It's not Mowgli. ”

In real history, Li Shimin's past few years as the king of Qin can be said to be extremely dangerous.

And the eldest grandson Wuji did make a great effort, no matter who was right or wrong in the Xuanwumen Change, it was Li Shimin who sat on the throne after all. Of course, neither Li Shimin nor Li Jiancheng could have thought of this in advance.

Therefore, at this time, Li Shimin decided that he could actually take power at the age of 27 and sit on the throne at the age of 28, which was a miracle.

"Erlang doesn't have to care about what he said back then, if his relatives are important ministers, I am afraid that there will be a lot of gossip in the government and the opposition. The concubine went to persuade her brother to let him take the initiative to back down. ”

"Don't worry, I don't mean that, as long as I ......" Li Shimin didn't continue, what he originally wanted to tell the eldest grandson Wujian was that he had to balance between the old and new courtiers, and he also wanted to leave a place for some outstanding people under the former crown prince Jiancheng, so as to show his benevolence and generosity as an emperor.

But these words are inconvenient to say at this time, as far as the matter of ascending the throne is concerned, if it is really about meritorious deeds, the eldest grandson Wuji is ranked after the twenty.

"The harem doesn't ask about state affairs, and the concubines just don't want their brother to be dissatisfied with the government and the opposition because of Erlang's special care."

"Yes." Li Shimin took the hand of the eldest grandson Wujian and patted it lightly twice.

The eldest grandson Wujian said again: "Erlang has thought about how Xiaomu will be sealed. ”

Li Shimin smiled directly after hearing this: "I haven't just thought about it, this matter is a headache." However, I have already summoned Fang and Du into the palace to discuss it with them again. ”

"The concubine retired."

In the evening, Fang and Du entered the palace and came to the study next to the Taiji Palace.

"Sage." The two sat next to each other after giving the salute.

"I want Fang Gong to take the position of the left servant, but the right servant is difficult to decide. Originally, I considered letting Wuji take the position, but ......" Li Shimin didn't say it, and he didn't need to say it explicitly.

Not to mention the government and the opposition, even in the Qin Palace, I am afraid that all the civil and military forces will not be convinced.

If it is in real history, the eldest grandson Wuji is worthy of this position, not to mention that his sister is the queen, but to say that he has played with his life to help Li Shimin since the third year of Wude.

But since the appearance of Liu Mu, it is Liu Mu who has helped Li Shimin with his life, and the eldest grandson Wuji has done idle errands in the Qin Palace, and it is not even as much as Yu Shinan, a pure scribe, has done more.

"The minister has a plan." Du Ruhui is the first position of the internal history of the book, and he actually leads from the second grade.

Li Shimin had already begun to work on the integration of the three provinces, and Shang Shuling no longer existed in this position, and then with five people as the core, and a number of auxiliary ministers.

It can be said that the rest of the provinces outside Shangshu Province have become glorious and void positions.

Shangshu Province is centered on the left and right servants, which is equivalent to the left and right phases, and then the internal history of Shangshu who is responsible for making decisions, and then the left and right servants on the three products.

Hearing Du Ruhui's suggestion, Li Shimin immediately urged Du Ruhui to speak out immediately.

"Sage, since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, a total of five kings with different surnames have been sealed, and these five are basically outsiders, except for Du Fuwei, who was also killed. Moreover, in the official state documents of the Tang Dynasty, the records of these people are canonized according to their subjects. ”

"What do you mean, Uncle Bao?" Li Shimin instantly understood what Du Ruhui meant.

"The minister means, the king of the winged county. Then there were two kings with different surnames, one was Feng An, the Duke of Yue, and the other was the Chai Horse, the Duke of Qiaoguo. Then the title of Liu Juma was degraded again. ”

Li Shimin hesitated.

It's nothing to crown Qin Qiong as a county king, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, the county king and the prince are both from the first-class title, but the county king makes people feel better.

It's nothing to give Feng Ang a promise. Chai Shao's side can be said to be a promise to the horses who command the troops.

can belittle the willow wood again, Li Shimin can't find an excuse.

It is good to depreciate the willow wood, not to mention that there is no need to rise, and if the rise is less, it is considered a depreciation, and even the willow wood has not been raised, so these people in the Qin Wangfu must shut up.

Emperor Li Yuan's suppression of Liu Mu's title can be seen by everyone, and this is a convenient reward after Li Shimin ascends the throne.

After hesitating for a long time, Li Shimin spoke: "Father mentioned before that giving Xiao Mu a prince is not a favoritism. I can't think of an excuse for degrading him now, and I don't know how to speak. ”

Li Shimin was very embarrassed, and Liu Mu was the first hero of his ascension to the throne.
