Sui and Tang Dynasties: Killing Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty to sacrifice to heaven at the beginni

Chapter 492 It's him.

Daxing City, the General's Mansion.

"General, the people selected from all over the country are here, take a look at which one is suitable!" Xu Maogong asked Li Mu as he sent the portraits of those candidate substitutes to Li Mu.

These people were selected from all over the country. There are many people in Daxing City, so naturally they cannot all be brought to Daxing City.

Xu Maogong brought the portraits of these stand-ins and handed them over to Li Mu for selection. After the selection, he would do his best to train the selected person.

Li Mu observed these portraits carefully, shaking his head from time to time, apparently not very satisfied with the double in the portraits.

Although the people in these portraits have a certain resemblance to Li Mu, they are not enough to fool people from powerful families.

In Li Mu's plan, it is very important to be able to hide it from the people of the powerful family.

"General, look at this!" Xu Maogong said, spreading out the portrait of the man surnamed Zhang found in Xintai County.

When Li Mu saw the person in the portrait, he was shocked immediately.This person is very similar to himself, not exactly the same, but at least eight points similar to himself.

"General, this person is fine, but this birthmark is not easy to deal with!" Xu Maogong said in a deep voice.

Although this person is very similar to Li Mu, but there is a birthmark on the left side of his face, the birthmark is half the size of a cheek.

There are no other problems, except for this birthmark, which is very difficult to deal with.

Li Mu thought for a moment, then asked Xu Maogong: "Military Master, how do you think I should die?"

When Li Mu asked this question, Xu Maogong was stunned.Although it was a fake death, it wasn't Li Mu who died, but a double.However, Xu Maogong is not good at planning Li Mu's death.

"Has the general noticed?" Xu Maogong didn't answer, but asked Li Mu.

Li Mu smiled, and said to Xu Maogong: "The military master thinks that I was assassinated on the way, and then the horse was frightened, and the man and the carriage fell into the bottom of the cliff."

"This cliff is bottomless. I fell down the cliff with a man and a horse, and my head was smashed halfway. Is there anything wrong with that?"

After Li Mu finished speaking, Xu Maogong nodded involuntarily.Although this seems too coincidental, the remaining half of the head should be enough to fool the powerful family.

After the birthmark is gone, the similarity between this person and Li Mu on the portrait has been greatly improved.

"Okay, it's him!" Li Mu said firmly.

After Li Mu confirmed the candidate, Xu Maogong began to order his subordinates to train the substitute. Although it was a dead move, at least after training, he could be more similar to Li Mu.

Hearing that he could be a stand-in for the dignified general, this person was a little happy, but he didn't know that his stand-in was the one who died for him.

Anyone who achieves great things must sacrifice something. Xu Maogong has no burden in his heart to let this person die for the general.

Speaking from the inside, this gambling dog would not have a good death. If Xu Maogong hadn't rescued him, he would have been sunk into the river by the gambling shop people long ago, turning into a withered bone.

In this way, becoming Li Mu's substitute actually allowed him to live for a while longer.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

The day of Li Yuanshou's birthday is getting closer and closer. In Li Mu's plan, this is the right time for him to fake his death.

Li Yuan is Li Mu's father-in-law, Li Yuan's [-]th birthday, Li Mu should attend no matter what.

Daxing City is not close to Taiyuan, and when Li Yuan's birthday was nearly a month away, Li Mu dragged his family and set off for Taiyuan City.

Li Yuanyuan was in Taiyuan. Since Li Mu and Li Xiuning got married, the father and daughter hadn't met each other, and they exchanged letters on weekdays.

Taking advantage of Li Yuan's fiftieth birthday, Li Mu dragged his family to Taiyuan City, which was considered a tourist.

For this Taiyuan City, Li Mu still has some feelings.After all, Li Mu's rise began when Taiyuan conquered Hanwang Yang Liang.

Great Sui, inside Taiyuan city.

Since Li Yuan came to Taiyuan, he was very comfortable.When he was in the capital, although he didn't do much, he was attacked by Yu Huaji from time to time.The most important thing is that Yang Guang also seemed very upset to see him.

At that time, Li Yuan could be said to be a mouse in a bellows, suffering from both ends.

After being left behind in Taiyuan, Li Yuan will be the official of the frontier.To be disrespectful, he, Li Yuan, is the local emperor of Taiyuan City.

However, after Li Yuan came to Taiyuan City, that family also had political achievements and was working.Over the years, Li Yuan has indeed done a lot of practical things for the people of Taiyuan.

Therefore, the people of Taiyuan respected Li Yuan, who stayed behind in Taiyuan, from the bottom of their hearts.

This year, Li Yuan will be fifty. In ancient times, fifty years old was not considered young.

The average age in ancient times is not like it is now. At that time, there was a lack of medical care and medicine, and people could not live like they are now.

In ancient times, people who were over forty were considered old people, those who reached fifty were called late, and those who reached seventy were old and rare.

The [-]th and [-]th birthdays were held in ancient times as special events.In terms of ostentation, it is not much worse than weddings and funerals.

These days, red flags are flying above Li Yuan's mansion, and there are huge crowds of people.

Everyone in the officialdom in Taiyuan also knew that Li Yuan was Li Mu's father-in-law.On the boat of Li Mu, wouldn't the future be boundless?

Therefore, there are naturally many people who come to flatter and curry favor with Li Yuan.

At noon, the scouts from Taiyuan City came back to report and told Li Yuan that Li Mu's convoy was less than thirty miles away from Taiyuan City.

"Jiancheng, hurry up and greet him on behalf of your father!" Li Yuan ordered his eldest son Li Jiancheng.

Li Yuan was Li Mu's father-in-law, and it was a private matter for Li Mu to come to Taiyuan City to celebrate Li Yuan's birthday.Therefore, it is inconvenient for Li Yuan to go out of the city to meet him.

Of course, if Li Mu came to Taiyuan for official business, then Li Yuan would have to go out of the city to greet him respectfully.

This public is public, private is private.

After Li Jiancheng got his father's order, he went out of the city to meet Li Mu.This time, Li Shimin did not go with Li Jiancheng.

The current Li Shimin is no longer the little fanboy he was before Li Mu.Even, for Li Mu, Li Shimin now has a bit of hatred in his heart.

Li Shimin and Changsun Wugou can be regarded as childhood sweethearts, and Li Shimin also likes Changsun Wugou very much.Of course, this is just Li Shimin's wishful thinking, and the eldest grandson Wugou has always regarded Li Shimin as his elder brother.

Ever since he heard that Li Mu married his eldest grandson Wugou and gave birth to a child, Li Shimin has been depressed.He even got seriously ill because of it, and in his heart, he naturally held grudges against Li Mu.

However, according to their current identities, Li Shimin could only hold back this matter.
