Hearing his favorite concubine's younger brother ask, the household minister whispered in the middle of the matter:

"What do you know, I'm forty-five this year, and it's from the four products that I give things. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Liu Horse is seventeen this year, when there was no official and no lord, the ordinary people should be respectful when they see the four-grade officials. Your brother poured less than a thousand loads of private salt, and now he is in the prison of the Criminal Department, and the salt in the hands of Liu Juma without passing through the household department is hundreds of thousands of stones. ”

The young man in the costume widened his eyes when he heard this.

"It's wrong, what is private salt? He set the rules and deducted the customs duties, and the household department only discussed with him how to deal with it. I am just a branch of the Lu family, and if I can set up a willow horse for my family, I may be able to rise to the third grade in my lifetime. ”

The young man in the costume didn't understand half of the sentence, but felt that the willow horse was his idol.

Qin Wangfu.

Liu Mu is playing Go with the second housekeeper, Liu Mu is underestimating this housekeeper, his chess skills are amazing, a big dragon was slaughtered, Liu Mu can't help it if he wants to vote or not.

Li Shimin entered the house, still laughing: "Xiaomu, you are really talented." ”

"What did I do again?" Liu Mu really said as Li Shimin said, and he has completely forgotten the incident at the gate of the prison of the Criminal Department.

The second housekeeper bowed and left the house.

Li Shimin sat in the position of the second butler just now to clean up the game of Go: "Come, talk to the second brother about a game." ”

"Second brother, you haven't said yet, what am I doing again?"

"The prison of the criminal department asked." Li Shimin only said this and didn't go on.

Liu Mu laughed and said nothing.

Liu Mu thought to himself, there is only one person in the entire Tang Dynasty who can fight his brother-in-law and brother-in-law, and that is the eldest grandson Wuji, and there is nothing else.

"What does Wei Zheng have there?" Li Shimin went straight to the point.

"Two things, the first one is that Wei Zheng is actually the person of the King of Qi. Second, let me think again. ”

Li Shimin urged: "Say it, the second brother thinks with you." ”

"Second brother, Wang Shichong has a treasure in Shaolin Temple." Liu Mu also said directly, Li Shimin held the chess piece hand and hung in the air, constantly recalling the events of the year in his mind.

After a full quarter of an hour, Li Shimin gently put the chess pieces back into the box: "Well, there is this possibility." ”

"Second brother, how to use the treasure, just say that the value of the treasure itself is not interesting to you, the King of Qin. I don't believe that Wang Shichong can still pile up a mountain of gold. ”

"That's a good point." Li Shimin patted the chessboard lightly: "I forgot to tell you, Tongguan has found gold mines, and three mines have been found at one time." When it comes to money, this gold mine is more useful than treasure, and how to use that treasure cannot be rushed, and there is no hurry. ”

Liu Mu is very convinced, he is worthy of being the king of Qin in the world, and it is estimated that his head is full of treasures.

Li Shimin was thinking that it was not a little treasure at all.

Liu Mu said again: "In the spring of next year, I am going to get Wei Zheng out of prison. Second brother, don't worry about this, I'll go to my father to speak. Then while I hadn't celebrated my eighteenth birthday yet, I finally messed around and borrowed Wei Zheng to give the Prince's Mansion a little ruthless. ”

"Tell me."

"You can't talk about it, if you do, you'll stop me."

"Don't say that I have a way to make you unable to leave the Zhuangzi of Sanyuan, as long as you are grounded for half a year." Li Shimin smiled and put the sunspot in the position of Tianyuan on the chessboard.

Liu Mu thought for a while and said, "Go to the Liang Shidu first, and I will take Wei Zheng with me." I was completely sure that Liang Shidu would cry tears, and then I put this kung fu on Wei Zheng's head, and then see the reaction of the prince's mansion. Wei Zheng is against the water, what will happen to someone? ”

"Wei Zheng will not take refuge in you." Li Shimin has studied everyone in the crown prince, and Wei Zheng is the kind of extremely loyal.

"It doesn't matter whether he takes refuge or not, some people think he just takes refuge."

Li Shimin thought for a while and nodded: "Liang Shidu is easy to defend and difficult to attack, you are not the kind of person who guards unfavorably, you care about the lives of these people very much." Besides, with Uncle Bao in Bingzhou, you are limited in messing around. Well, I agree. It's said that over there in Yunzhou, your second sister did a good job. ”

"What did she do again?"

"She robbed the sheep, and for the sake of your ever-increasing purchases, she drew piece after piece of land on the grassland with cart after cart of copper coins. At present, the places left by the former Sui have been completely surrounded. The second brother was even thinking about sending 100,000 troops north to take the former Sui place. ”

Liu Mu asked: "But second brother, you still gave up this idea." ”

"It was Fang Gong who said that it was good to be trapped, but they were so trapped that they had no fighting spirit at all, and people's hearts were scattered. You don't need a single soldier, you only need a letter to take it, so why bother to go on an expedition. Moreover, the war of annexing the states, the treasury is empty, especially the lack of grain stocks, and at the moment it is necessary to defend against the Turks, who will go south at any time, and it is not easy to talk about conquest. Li Shimin gave Liu Mu a detailed explanation.

Yanagi said: "A little kid of a few years old. ”

"Don't underestimate it, the Turks handed over to them all the former Sui officials who stayed in the Turks, as well as more than 10,000 Sui people, plus those who refused to obey my Tang Dynasty and fled north in the wars over the years, there are now 30,000 elite soldiers, and the Turks are behind them."

Li Shimin talked about the current situation in Hou Sui in a few words.

Liu Mu also said: "And they also possess great righteousness, our Tang Dynasty was let by Sui Chan." ”

"This ...... Unimportant. Li Shimin laughed: "The so-called righteousness is all an excuse. As you said in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei relies on righteousness, but everything is useless without real power, and the second brother appreciates Cao Cao more. ”

Liu Mu asked mysteriously: "Second brother, do you know who the people of Chang'an like the most?" ”

"Who?" Li Shimin was really interested.

"Er Qiao!"

Hahaha! Li Shimin burst out laughing.

Next.

Li Shimin took Liu Mu to visit the old ministers and celebrities in Chang'an.

Even if Fang Xuanling had personally sent the winter reward to Xiao Yu and the others' mansions, Li Shimin still had to run again, nominally to send the Tang Emperor's condolences to the courtiers, but in fact?

Every old minister and celebrity is like a mirror in his heart, King Qin has begun to officially pave the way for his throne, and running this lap in person is not to let everyone express their position, but to make everyone think seriously about this matter.

The Criminal Department Shangshu Liu Zhenghui Mansion.

Liu Zhenghui said in front of Li Shimin: "The old man thinks that it is better for King Qin to be the crown prince. ”

"The people are terrified." Li Shimin got up and gave a salute, and that's all. There is no refutation of this, nor is there any evasion.

Liu Zhenghui smiled and then pointed at Liu Mu: "You, very good." ”

"I think I'm pretty good, too." Yanagi smiled facelessly.

Liu Mu's words made Li Shimin and Liu Zhenghui choke and didn't know how to answer, in the past, when the elders praised the juniors, the juniors should be humble and even self-deprecating, but this Liu Mu's reaction really made people unable to answer.
