Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 102 Lingo
Liu Mu asked why the Turks didn't go south from two roads at the same time. He didn't ask because he knew history, nor did he understand military affairs. In his opinion, since he came to rob, dividing troops into two roads would make it difficult for both sides of the Tang Dynasty. It is also a good thing to grab and run.

Li Shimin pointed at Liumu: "That's good, then I ask you, what is the benefit of the Turks going to Lingzhou?"

"Go straight to Chang'an." Liu Mu just said this casually.

Li Shimin asked again: "Why do you say that, don't you know that there are heavy soldiers in Chang'an?"

"I saw one of the dossiers, and wrote a very unpleasant thing. At this time, I dare to say, change the place, change the people, I dare not say it, and I don't admit that I have seen it."

"Tell me." Li Shimin asked seriously.

"Someone wrote a letter, and it seems that they want to change the capital to Luoyang. The reason is that Chang'an is too close to the north. Once the Turks rush in, it will be a few days away from Chang'an, which is not safe."

Li Shimin had also heard about this rumor before, but he also kept silent, only discussing it with Fang and Du in private.

When Liu Mu mentioned it again, Li Shimin laughed: "It's nonsense, but what do you think of Mu?"

"I was young and ignorant, and I didn't even grow a beard. I have no idea about such a big thing. I only think about one thing these days."

slippery.

This time, not only Li Shimin, but also Qin Qiong can see that Liu Mu must have an opinion on this matter.

If you don't say it, it means that what you say is dangerous, or even a taboo.

Li Shimin laughed: "Then tell me, what are you thinking these days?"

"My eldest brother-in-law, the honor is the Shangzhu Kingdom, the honor is the Duke of the Yi Kingdom, and the official is the Great General. It can be said that there is no seal and no promotion. I feel that this is not a good thing. This is about to go to the battlefield again. , If someone accidentally hacked to death several generals of Jieli, and took such a big credit on his shoulders, will he be in trouble when he returns to Chang'an?"

Qin Qiong didn't think about this, he only knew that a scholar dies for his confidant.

He was greatly favored by the Tang Emperor Li Yuan and trusted by Li Shimin, so he charged forward and killed an unknown number of enemy generals in more than two hundred battles.

In war, he is doing his duty.

Hearing Liu Mu's words, Qin Qiong's face changed slightly: "Xiao Mu, don't talk nonsense."

"No, he's right."

"Ah, I don't know what I said that made sense. I just feel unwilling. My eldest brother-in-law fought a bloody battle. There is nothing to reward when I come back. It's a pity, it's a pity. If there is a reward, I will replace it with a bun..." Liu Mu Having said that, Li Shimin directly threw the wine glass in his hand.

"Momo, Momo!" Li Shimin looked up to the sky and laughed.

He understood, fully understood the meaning hidden in Liu Mu's words.

but!
Li Shimin glanced at Liu Mu suspiciously, then how much was the same as what he understood and what Liu Mu really wanted to express, and how much was the difference.

Liu Mu got up with a smile and put Li Shimin's wine glass back on Li Shimin's table.

The two looked at each other, and Li Shimin laughed: "Mu, Shu Bao returned with great achievements, what kind of official do you want?"

"Ah, I can still seal it again, it seems that I am stupid."

Ha ha!

Ha ha!

Both of them laughed, as fake as they could be, even a straight person like Qin Qiong could tell that the smiles were fake.

There are two people, one is high above the emperor, the first king of the Tang Dynasty under the emperor, holding heavy soldiers and power, 18 famous men in the mansion, and dozens of generals.Another countryman has hundreds of acres of fields, one or two workshops, and one servant.

These two people with different identities from the two places smiled like this, and Qin Qiong was confused.

"Come here, take a jar of pig's trotters to drink with." Li Shimin shouted.

Liu Mu also hurriedly shouted: "Cut two more elbows."

Hahaha, Li Shimin and Liu Mu laughed together again, but this time they laughed for real.

Because both of them were very sure in their hearts, Liu Mu knew that King Qin of the Tang Dynasty understood what he meant, and Li Shimin really understood.

Liu Mu was an important official, and Qin Qiong was named Yi Guogong, and the word Yi stands for Tang's protective wings, flanks.This is the special value that Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty attached to Qin Qiong, and it was Li Yuan who sealed Qin Qiong to the extreme.

But there is another layer.

Open the government!
Li Shimin can't talk about it, he can't even know about it, Liu Mu can find a way to ask for it, and when the Turks go south in early autumn, after the war, Liu Mu is too short to be named the captain of the horse, plus Princess Changping, it is really possible to replace Qin Qiong Seek the qualifications to open the government.

Once Qin Qiong opened the mansion, then the court of Tang Dynasty will be interesting.

Next to the Prince's Mansion and King Qin's Mansion, there is another general who opened the mansion, so what will happen next?
Holding the wine glass, Li Shimin was thinking about how Liu Mu could persuade Li Yuan to let Qin Qiong open the house.

Liu Mu knew what Li Shimin was thinking, but he couldn't say it out loud. Once some words got out, the consequences would be disastrous.So Liu Mu just said: "I heard that Shuozhou is not a good person, and the surname Liang has a dark heart."

Li Shimin's eyes lit up, Liu Mu was very calculating.

Talking about Shuozhou, you can definitely convince Qin Qiong that you don't need much power or many famous men and women to open a mansion. As long as you have a name, this is a seal. At the same time, let Qin Qiong be in Bingzhou as the center, plus Daizhou, Hengzhou, and Yunzhou. For Liang Shidu.

Good name, good calculation.

"Poor." Liu Mu suddenly said with emotion, and returned to his seat.

When Li Shimin heard the word poor, he asked, "Wood, wool on the prairie, how profitable is it?"

"Not too many, but it will definitely be no problem to replace hundreds of thousands of momos."

It is true that Li Shimin can support hundreds of thousands of troops, but Li Shimin said: "You are married to Changping, and this king will protect your wool for you. I don't want you to do anything."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Liu Mu laughed happily.

"Nonsense." Qin Qiong reprimanded Liu Mu at this moment: "Your Highness has worked hard, and the Qin Palace has spent a lot of money in the past one or two years. Mu, refuse immediately."

Li Shimin waved his hand lightly: "A little profit, let him go. Don't say anything more, Shubao."

Liu Mu also hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law, Bingzhou needs a lot of copper coins to feed those soldiers."

"That's all, that's all." Qin Qiong couldn't understand anymore.

But since King Qin has made the decision, he will not say anything, and Liu Mu is not that kind of greedy person.

Li Shimin raised his glass: "Mu, I thank you for the thousand-eye mirror."

Liu Mu turned to one side and raised his glass again: "Your Highness, thank you for your care for the day and night." Liu Mu bowed to the end, and Li Shimin drank the wine in the glass. This is what he wanted, and he wanted Liu Mu to express his attitude. .

After drinking the wine in the glass, Liu Mu smiled coquettishly again: "Your Highness, can I borrow some copper coins?"

Hahaha, Li Shimin laughed loudly: "Tomorrow, there will be no copper coins, but in the near future you will see carts full of gold."
