Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 399 This Is Luck

There are stones rolling down.

After several ladies screamed and dodged, Liu Mu saw a tree root under the stone.Liu Mu stepped forward and scraped lightly with a knife twice, and then waved his hand: "Come on, use a small shovel to dig here, right here. Others continue to search, there will be a lot in this area."

The person who came was not an ordinary civilian husband, but the Emperor of Tang Dynasty.

After the Emperor Datang dug a few times himself, it is true that this is definitely not a tree root.Several important ministers hurried forward to help, and soon the whole picture of what looked like a tree root appeared. It was a bone at least five feet long, and there were more.

Li Yuan stepped aside, and a dozen captains of the Imperial Army began to clear away the surrounding trees and stones.

After two full days of work, another bone was found about 500 meters away from here, and the one that Dugu Lanruo found by accident also showed the whole picture.Although it has not been dug out of the soil, the whole picture can basically be seen clearly.

"Saint, this giant beast has three feet long wings, it should be Qingluan Divine Beast."

"No, this is Suzaku."

The two old men started arguing.

Liu Mu sat at the side under the tree and watched from afar, too lazy to listen.He knew it should be a certain kind of pterosaur, but these people insisted on linking it with the ancient mythical beast in Shan Hai Jing, what could they say.

Besides, the red is the phoenix, and the green is the luan.What's the difference in this thing just by looking at the skeleton.

However, they used it to distinguish and argue from the limb bones and tailbone.

Li Yuan couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and immediately dug out the ancient beast, no matter what kind it was, it must be one of the five phoenixes.Even Dapeng is a good omen, as long as it is dug out, it will be a good thing.

Dugu Lanruo sat under the tree with Liu Mu, looked at Li Yuan from afar and smiled and said to Liu Mu: "Husband, it's rare for Father to smile like this in recent years."

"En!" Liu Mu just gave a simple grace.

"Husband thinks it's not worthy of joy?" Dugu Lanruo asked in a low voice, she didn't want this to be heard by others.

Liu Mu picked up his binoculars and looked into the distance, then replied to Dugu Lanruo: "I may not understand, but I thought it was a small and simple matter that could be solved by spending tens of thousands of coins, but Now it seems that there is no 10,000+ guns, I am afraid it will not be over, it is a bit of a waste of time and money.”

Dugu Lanruo didn't understand this either, so she sat beside Liu Mu and didn't answer.

At this time, Xiao Yu came to Liu Mu, bowed slightly to salute Dugu Lanruo, Dugu Lanruo quickly stood up and returned the salute, even if she was a princess, it would not be appropriate for an old man to salute first.

"His Royal Highness, can I let the old man chat with the son-in-law?"

"Xiao Gong, please go ahead, I'm going to look at the hillside over there, and Baoqin is leading people to dig there." Dugu Lanruo said a few words politely, and after giving another salute, she left with four female cavalry soldiers.

After sitting down, Xiao Yu first checked the small stove in front of Liu Mu, then added some water into the copper pot, and turned up the fire.

"Old Xiao, you are in good health. Resting in the wilderness is not as good as resting in Luoyang City." Liu Mu took out a brand new tea set and put it on the table in front of him.

Xiao Yu didn't answer Liu Mu's words, picked up the tea set and looked at it in his hands: "Good stuff, top quality."

"I blocked the things presented by Lushan Kiln. I told them to behave, don't make such small tricks before next year's Dragon Boat Festival, and whoever finds out that there is a black box operation will be disqualified immediately. So they took back many of the tea sets they sent. I picked a flawed set and kept it as my intention, and I always have to give some face."

Xiao Yu looked carefully at the several cups in his hand, each one had small flaws, but they were all in places that were not easy to find.

"I heard that there are ten lands where tea merchants want to use the Dragon Boat Festival to compete for tea?"

"There is this matter, it is unofficial, they wrote a document privately and sent it. They said that the Dragon Boat Festival tea set competition, why there is no tea. I am still thinking about this, because the Dragon Boat Festival is only three days, so there are too many things to do. The saint is not happy." Liu Mu answered truthfully.

Xiao Yu pointed to the various places being excavated in this mountainous area, as well as the Emperor Tang who was still laughing while his body was covered in mud.

Said: "For this matter, I will guarantee you to be the Duke of the County, and I will posthumously confer your father on the third rank."

"Thank you." Liu Mu clasped his fists flatly.

Xiao Yu smiled: "I'm afraid you don't understand why I recommended you to be a nobleman."

"For this bone?"

"No!" Xiao Yu didn't let Liu Mu guess, and took out a watch from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Mu.

This is Li Shimin's watch.

When Xiao Yu looked through the willow trees, he said: "If you don't check, you won't know. If you check, you will be shocked. Only the temples in Chang'an City have found more than 20 pieces of property, including countless gold and silver treasures. I can't tolerate the filth and filth of the quiet place of Buddhism, the old man wrote a letter, the sesame oil money is limited to three coins per person, and the temple construction must be recorded by the government for large donations."

"I'm afraid this is the idea of ​​the old monk Ciku?"

"Yes, it was indeed Master Ciku who mentioned that Master Ciku hoped to restore the purity of Buddhism, but each state and county must have a statement, otherwise it will be difficult to cure the root cause." Xiao Yu said sincerely.But Liu Mu didn't appreciate it: "Old Xiao, do you believe in an afterlife?"

"The afterlife is for people to cultivate virtue in this life." Xiao Yu's words mean that he doesn't believe in an afterlife, but ordinary illiterate people need to have a kind of awe.

Liu Mu took out the dagger on his waist and put it on the table: "If you are guilty in this life, you will be punished in this life. The laws of the Tang Dynasty are not written for fun. It is better to respect the laws of Tang than to believe in gods and Buddhas. Doing evil things, donating money and silk to go to the Buddha There are too many people, and it would be a big mistake not to kill tens of thousands of such people."

"No dispute." Xiao Yu didn't want to discuss this topic with Liu Mu.

Liu Mu's words were already an extreme in Xiao Yu's ears, the extreme torture and heavy law thought of the Legalists in the pre-Qin period.

It can be conceived to say: "In the land of four counties, each county has an official who is responsible for cultural and educational affairs. Children enter elementary school at the age of six, and if there is one less person, the official will be punished. Each child will be given an egg and a spoonful every day. Milk powder. I cut off a piece of meat from this official by stealing a portion of it privately, this is a cruel official.”

Xiao Yu clenched her fists tightly, but finally did not answer the topic of Liu Mu.

Not many people in the court know about this matter, but after knowing it, it is estimated that they will quarrel for several months.

The Ministry of Rites must fully support Liu Mu and learn from the world. This is great virtue and great kindness.

But the Ministry of Punishments would not be willing, because there is no such law in the Tang law, and this punishment does not conform to the Tang law.But as far as the matter is concerned, no one can say that Liumu did not do well, but such a severe punishment is indeed an immoral behavior.

So Xiao Yu didn't express, and he didn't comment a word.

Xiao Yu brought the topic back to Li Shimin's list: "His Royal Highness, the officials who stayed in Chang'an believed that the confiscated temple property was used to rebuild the God and Beast Pavilion, to fund the Chang'an Medical Sacred Hall, and to give you a part of it." , for your Chang'an Library. And land has been drawn."
