Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 299 Give Winter Reward to Prince Qi's Mansion

The palace people, maids, and imperial guards completely ignored the snowball fight between Liu Mu and King Qin.

Liu Mu is not easy to provoke, His Royal Highness King Qin is even more terrifying, no one can make trouble for himself.

After leaving the palace, Li Shimin called Liu Mu: "Where is your carriage?"

"How do you know I didn't ride here?"

"How can you ride a horse if you are lazy and afraid of the cold? The carriage is over there." Li Shimin's tone was vicious.

Liu Mu's carriage was parked in Xingde Square outside Suzaku Gate, and when Liu Mu left the palace, someone had already gone to pick up the carriage.

Li Shimin got into Liu Mu's carriage first, and Liu Mu hesitated whether to get in the carriage or not.Li Shimin beckoned: "Come here, have a drink at Second Brother's house tonight."

"Okay." Liu Mu had no choice but to get on the carriage.

In the carriage, Li Shimin was surprised and didn't say a word, and went all the way to the Qin Palace with a serious expression.After entering his study, Li Shimin specially ordered that no one should come and disturb him.

When the door was closed, Li Shimin said to Liu Mu: "When the second brother saw you getting out of the carriage, he secretly hid your pair of wooden crutches under the seat. Put it aside, and the second brother will tell you about it today. reason."

"First, you think I'm wrong."

"Just talking about today's affairs, not only are you not wrong, but you have done a good job. Some words may be false and exaggerated. But in today's affairs, these small problems will be ignored. However, we explain God, you know you are forcing the boss to rebel, at least [-]% of the Chang'an defenders still listen to him."

Li Shimin didn't get angry. After finishing these words calmly, he went to the shelf and took down a bottle of wine, poured a glass for himself and Liu Mu, and handed the wine to Liu Mu: "Take a sip to warm your body, second brother asks you, What did you want to say to your father just now?"

"Tell me two things."

"Tell me." Li Shimin sat down.

"The first thing is that the goods in Chang'an from Jiangnan and Shu are not right, and we can't say they are wrong. I would like to ask my father to order all the cloth sizes and grain bucket specifications in the whole Tang Dynasty... That is to say, it is easy to settle accounts by uniform measurement." Liu Muxin said, this is a good thing.

Li Shimin laughed twice: "It seems that you obviously didn't consider the consequences of these things."

"This is a good thing."

"I didn't say it was a bad thing, but this matter is under the management of the Prince's Mansion and the Ministry of Household Affairs. You are robbing the Prince's Mansion of its duties. You go to check the files. The Prince's Mansion has been in use for three years, and there is no unification of what you said. The size of the bucket and the size of the cloth. It is said to be one zhang ten feet 120 inches, one thousand and two hundred cents. But there are slight differences in this cent."

Li Shimin told him that after looking through his study for a long time, he found a dossier.

This was written by Fang Xuanling. Taking half a square of millet as the standard, one millet is one cent long, but the choice of this millet is 16 for one tael, and [-] taels for a catty.

The same is true for the volume, two thousand four hundred is one unit, ten units is one liter, ten liters is one dou, three dou is one big dou, and ten dou is one hu.

"What's the second thing you want to mention?" Li Shimin asked again.

"The second thing..." Liu Mu was not confident anymore, he felt that it might be another good thing that might have bad results.But he still said: "That's right, I read the files in the palace before, and the people in the entire Tang Dynasty lacked cattle, so..."

Li Shimin waved his hand: "Don't even think about it, no matter what you think, stop." Li Shimin stretched out five fingers at this point: "One, salt. Two, iron. Three, food. Four, cattle. Five, cloth .These five items are all government-run materials. You can have as much as you want in Chang'an, but you can't contact the state government. This is a matter for the five ministries except the Ministry of War, and it is also a matter for the supervision of the Prince's Mansion."

Willow stopped talking.

Li Shimin took another thing and handed it to Liu Mu: "Although you know a lot, this thing is a strange thing. It looks like ordinary wooden chopsticks, but they were made by skillful craftsmen in the Western Jin Dynasty. They are actually silver chopsticks. Be careful if someone poisons you .”

"Also, the second brother will pick another hundred warriors for you, be careful and make no mistake."

"Second brother means, someone wants my life?"

Needless to say, both Li Shimin and Liu Mu knew that this person was Prince Li Jiancheng.

Li Shimin nodded slightly: "There are people who even want to kill me, let alone you. In short, it is always right to be careful. You follow me these two days, and come to me after you arrive in Chang'an. The generals are not in Chang'an and they Your mansion may not be safe either. What’s more, accompany me to visit some veterans and celebrities in the past two days.”

"En." Liu Mu nodded: "Thank you, second brother, can those 100 people choose excellent flying cavalry, if there is trouble, it will be safer to run while shooting arrows."

"Okay." Li Shimin smiled: "However, you are too talented for this scene outside Suzaku's gate."

"I am over-flattered."

The next day, when Li Shimin was packing up and preparing to go out at Prince Qin's Mansion, Liu Mu said, "Can I choose where to go in the morning?"

"Did you know that celebrity and veteran in Chang'an?" Li Shimin didn't think much, just asked casually.

But Liu Mu said: "Take the second sister-in-law and go to Qi Wangfu."

"Great." Li Shimin patted Liu Mu's shoulder lightly, but he ignored it. After Liu Mu's reminder, Li Shimin naturally called out Gao Ming.Taking care of Prince Qi's mansion is for the world to see, even if Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, died at the hands of him and Liu Mu, this secret is estimated to be buried for 1000 years.

Li Shimin brought the whole family with him, not only the eldest grandson Wugou, but also the fourth wife, and two high-level concubines whom Liu Mu didn't know the names of.

Dugu Lanruo originally planned to go to Princess Tong'an, so now she will also go to Prince Qi's mansion first, and then go to Princess Tong'an's mansion with Changsun Wugou, where Liu Mu and Li Shimin love to go, Dugu Lanruo won't even ask .

The death of Li Yuanji, the king of Qi, was declared to be the work of the rebel general Wang Junkuo.But in fact, many people knew that it was King Qi who wanted to rebel.

Therefore, the support of King Qi's mansion is very small, and it has been forgotten.

Standing in front of the closed gate of Prince Qi's Mansion, Liu Mu whispered, "There are people who are heartless and ungrateful."

"En." Li Shimin nodded heavily. In Li Shimin's view, people can be ruthless and cold-blooded.But it is not right to treat others badly and disregard affection and loyalty.

Prince Li Jiancheng couldn't even take care of himself right now, and he really didn't have Li Yuanji's family in his heart.

Everyone waited for a long time outside the gate of Prince Qi's mansion before an old family member came to open the main gate.Most of the servants and maidservants in the mansion have gone away, even Li Yuanji's concubine has almost run away.

Apart from the children, there are only three people who have status in the family.

Yang, the Hongnong clan.

She is also the niece of the fifth son-in-law Yang Shidao, second only to her relatives.

Then came a concubine who was still pregnant with Li Yuanji's posthumous son, and a wife who had just given birth to Li Yuanji's fifth son.
