Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 302 About a Little Kid's Territory
Hearing his concubine's younger brother ask a question, the householder said in a low voice:
"What do you know? I'm 45 this year, and I'm from the fourth rank. Consort Liu is seventeen this year. Back then, when he had no official title, he should be more respectful when meeting a fourth rank official. You brothers With less than a thousand dans of private salt, he is now in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the salt in the hands of Liu Concubine that has not been approved by the Ministry of Households is at least hundreds of thousands of shi."

Master Huafu's eyes widened when he heard this.

"I'm wrong, private salt is nothing. He made a private rule to withhold customs duties, and the household department just discussed with him how to deal with it. I'm just a branch of the Lu family. If I can get Liu consort for my family, I may be promoted to the third rank in my lifetime. .”

Mr. Huafu didn't understand half a sentence, he just felt that Liu Concubine was his idol.

Qin Wangfu.

Liu Mu was playing Go with the second butler, but Liu Mu underestimated the butler, his chess skills were astonishingly high, a big dragon was slaughtered, Liu Mu had no choice but to vote or not.

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

"What am I doing so beautifully?" Liu Mu really did what Li Shimin said, completely forgetting the incident at the gate of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

The second housekeeper saluted and left the room.

Li Shimin sat in the position of the second housekeeper just now and cleaned up Go: "Come, let's talk with the second brother."

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

"Ministry of Punishment asked me from the prison." Li Shimin stopped talking as long as he said this.

Liu Mu laughed, but said nothing.

Liu Mu thought to himself, there is only one person in the entire Tang Dynasty who can compete with her brother-in-law and brother-in-law, and that is Changsun Wuji, and there is no other half.

"What's there with Wei Zheng?" Li Shimin went straight to the point.

"Two things, the first one is that Wei Zheng is actually the king of Qi. The second one, let me think about it again."

Li Shimin urged: "Speak out, the second brother will think with you."

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

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

"Second brother, how to use the treasure, just talking about the value of the treasure itself is meaningless to you, the king of Qin. I don't believe that Wang Shichong can pile up a golden mountain."

"Well said." Li Shimin patted the chessboard lightly: "I forgot to tell you, Tongguan found gold mines, and found three mines at once. When it comes to money, this gold mine is more useful than treasures, let's talk about the treasures." Use, don’t rush, don’t rush.”

Liu Mu was very convinced, as expected of the current king of Qin, another person would probably have a head full of treasures.

What Li Shimin thought of was not just a little treasure at all.

Liu Mu said again: "In the spring of next year, I'm going to get Wei Zheng out of prison. Second brother, don't worry about it, I'll talk to my father. Then, while I haven't celebrated my birthday, I'll make a fool of myself one last time, and borrow Wei Zheng to bring some to the Prince's mansion. cruel."

"Tell me."

"You can't tell, if you tell, you will stop me."

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

After thinking for a while, Liu Mu said: "Go to the Liangshi capital first, and I will bring Wei Zheng with me. I am sure that Liangshi will cry, and then I will put this effort on Wei Zheng's head, and then look The reaction of the Prince's Mansion. Wei Zheng turned against the water, what will happen to someone?"

"Wei Zheng won't take refuge with you." Li Shimin has studied everyone in the prince, and Wei Zheng is extremely loyal.

"It doesn't matter whether he takes refuge or not, some people think that it is enough for him to take refuge."

Li Shimin nodded after thinking for a while: "Master Liang is easy to defend and difficult to attack. You are not the kind who treats the guards as inappropriate people. You care about the lives of these people. Besides, with Shubao in Bingzhou, there is no limit to your nonsense. Okay. , I agree. On the Yunzhou side, your second sister did a good job."

"What did she do again?"

"She robbed sheep, and for your ever-increasing purchases, she used cartloads of copper coins to draw plots of land on the grassland. At present, the places left by the former Sui have been completely surrounded. II Brother is even thinking about sending an army of [-] to the north to take down the former Sui area."

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

"It's Mr. Fang who said, it's good to be trapped. They are so trapped that they have no fighting spirit and their hearts are scattered. They don't need a single soldier, they only need a letter to win. Why bother to go on an expedition. Moreover, the state treasury is empty. In particular, there is not enough food, and right now we have to defend against the Turks who are going south at any time, so we can't talk about fighting lightly." Li Shimin explained to Liu Mu in detail.

Liu Mu said: "A little brat of a few years old."

"Don't underestimate it. The Turkic people handed over all the former Sui officials who stayed in Turkic, and more than 1 Sui people. In addition to those who refused to accept my Tang Dynasty and fled north during the wars, there are now [-] elite soldiers. , and the Turks are behind it.”

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

Liu Mu also said: "And they still have great righteousness. Our Tang Dynasty came from the Sui Dynasty."

"This...isn't important." Li Shimin laughed: "The so-called righteousness is just an excuse. Just like what you said in Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Liu Bei relies on righteousness, but without real strength, everything is useless. The second brother appreciates it even more. Cao Cao."

Liu Mu asked mysteriously: "Second Brother, do the people of Chang'an like who they like the most?"

"Who?" Li Shimin was really interested.

"Second Joe!"

Hahaha!Li Shimin burst out laughing.

The next day.

Li Shimin took Liu Mu to visit all the veterans and celebrities in Chang'an.

Even if Fang Xuanling had personally delivered the winter rewards to Xiao Yu and others' residences, Li Shimin still had to run again, nominally to send the Emperor Tang's condolences to his courtiers, but in reality?
Every old official and famous person is like a mirror in his heart. King Qin has already begun to officially pave the way for his throne. Running this lap in person is not for everyone to express their opinions, but for everyone to seriously think about it.

The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Liu Zhenghui.

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

"The people of the world are terrified." Li Shimin got up and gave a salute, that's all.There was no refutation or avoidance of this statement.

Liu Zhenghui smiled and pointed at Liu Mu: "You are fine."

"I also think I'm pretty good." Liu Mu smiled shamelessly.

Liu Mu's words made Li Shimin and Liu Zhenghui choke and didn't know how to answer the words. In the past, when the elders praised the younger generation, the younger generation should humbly say something self-deprecating or even self-deprecating. However, Liu Mu's reaction is really confusing. Answer the call.

　Sorry everyone, it's a little late today.
