Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 558 The reality is still cruel

Qin Qiong sent someone to spread the word, and it turned out that there were two groups of people surrounding the execution platform, one group was the top assassins of Yinwei, and the other group was headed by Sun Shenxian, the masters of Taoism's medical skills and alchemy.

Sun Shenxian even ordered some tonic medicines to ensure that Xu Jingzong would not die easily.

Wenyue Pavilion became very calm, and Chang'an City could be said to be deserted by thousands of people, and the people flocked to watch the Ling Chi execution of this heinous criminal.

The official verdict against Xu Jingzong has only eight characters, which will bring disaster to the country and the people and shake the country.

Liu Mu would definitely not go to see it, that scene must be so terrifying that he would have nightmares, but for a person like Xu Jingzong, especially if he committed such a serious crime again, Liu Mu didn't think it was too serious at all. It may be enough to cut [-] knives, and Liu Mu will support it.

In Wenyue Pavilion, after the refreshments were served, the four of them chatted for a while, Qin Qiong signaled to close the door, and then said very seriously:
"Xiaomu, the three of us discussed what you said last time very seriously. We also asked Feng Zhidai about the situation there, but we still can't make a decision right now. This matter is no small matter."

"I know, so I didn't dare to say a word, and I gave the letter to the three of you." Liu Mu also understood that this matter was very important.

This is a major event at the level of the national war, and even the final decision needs to be placed above the court, and the eighteen qualified civil and military personnel above the third rank in Chang'an can participate in the discussion before making a decision.

Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, did not dare to act arbitrarily.

In the former Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of Sui disregarded the dissuasion of his courtiers and launched the war to conquer Goguryeo at an inappropriate time, and added some inappropriate command of Emperor Yang of Sui, which caused great damage to the national power of the Great Sui Dynasty.

Fang Xuanling also said: "This matter is no small matter, even if it is necessary to conscript, it will not be allowed next year."

Liu Mu asked: "Then how about the Six Edicts?"

"Why do you want to destroy the Liuzhao? The Liuzhao is a vassal state that submits to my Tang Dynasty." Fang Xuanling was puzzled.

Liu Mu can't say that according to history, the Six Edicts were finally unified, and then fought several tough battles against Datang, and before the war, they were always repeated between Datang and Turpan.

These things haven't happened yet, and Liu Mu has no reason to talk about it now.

Du Ruhui gave Liu Mu a reason: "In the former Sui Dynasty, there were many small countries there, and then there were countless battles. Now there are six relatively large small gangs. I believe that in the future, these six edicts will also be unified."

Zhao is the transliteration of the local dialect, which is equivalent to the meaning of king.

These six imperial edicts represent the areas, or land, ruled by six powerful kings of local ethnic groups.

Liu Mu heard Du Ruhui speak for him, and quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, it is better for Datang to unify them after they are unified, and then become the vanguard of Datang to attack those monkeys for Datang."

Even Du Ruhui shook his head this time: "It's difficult, Datang doesn't have enough power to attack such a small country that is so far away, there are not enough soldiers, there is not enough military expenditure, and there is no suitable reason."

Liu Mu asked again: "So, what if I do business with them?"

"If you can use wool to deal with the tribes of the grassland, then we support you, but is it possible now? Even if they have valuable goods, can you transport them?"

"This... is also correct."

"Let's put aside the matter of Zhenla for now. The son of the Funan prince is countless real and fake. First, he will be given a good position in the Tang Dynasty to support him. Maybe it will be useful in the future." Fang Xuanling concluded this matter.

Ugh…….

Liu Mu sighed heavily, but he could understand in his heart that some things were not just what he wanted.

This is not a game, this is real life.

After finishing the business, Qin Qiong and the other three looked at each other, and then each gave Liu Mu a gift list.

"It's not New Year's Eve yet, so give out New Year's money?" Liu Mu happily accepted the gift list.

Qin Qiong laughed loudly: "No one can afford your lucky money. This is a gift money for you."

"Gift money, what kind of gift money?" Liu Mu was very confused.

"Didn't you marry the daughters of Xiao and Xie back home? This is a gift money." Qin Qiong was very puzzled.

Liu Mu was even more puzzled: "The date is not set yet, so whoever comes will marry you."

The three laughed at the same time.

It was only after Du Ruhui's explanation that Liu Mu realized that the matter of taking a concubine basically had nothing to do with him, and it stands to reason that he didn't need to discuss it with Liu Mu.

It's just that Liu Mu has always been against it, that's why he and Liu Mu have an intersection.

Now that Liu Mu has already opened his mouth to agree, then the next step really has nothing to do with him.

All the etiquette is Dugu Lanruo's business. The two newcomers also serve tea to Dugu Lanruo when they enter the mansion, and then arrange the residence, distribute some items used in the mansion, etc. There is no need to meet Liu Mu at all. Everything is decided by Dugu Lanruo , Dugu Lanruo has the absolute right to speak.

"It's all right." Liu Mu also smiled wryly, he really didn't expect the rules to be like this.

These are not recorded in the history books at all.

Qin Qiong asked again at this time: "Xiaomu, your elder sister asked me to ask you what kind of dowry you prepared for Sanniang to marry."

"Dowry..." Liu Mu made a long sound, originally wanting to keep it a secret, but these three people are all his close friends, although they are much older than him, they are indeed friends.

"I prepared a workshop for Sanniang in Tamna Island and Huating respectively, and then left a shop in Wutongfang."

Hearing what Liu Mu said, Qin Qiong frowned slightly. He felt that Liu Mu's dowry was a bit light. At this time, Qin Qiong had already planned to give Liu Mu some treasures that the Supreme Emperor had bestowed before. Anyway, those things were kept at home. It's just ash in the warehouse.

But Qin Qiong still asked first: "What kind of workshop is it?"

"To make some small things, I plan to reduce the cost of each pack to five yuan. The market price should be as low as ten yuan on the Jiangnan side, and less than twelve yuan on the Chang'an side. The most expensive is no more than ten yuan. Five cents."

Listening to Liu Mu's seriousness, Qin Qiong knew that Liu Mu was definitely not joking.

It's just that when Liu Mu's two sisters got married, isn't this dowry too bad?

Qin Qiong was thinking in his mind that Liu Mu's eldest sister was also his wife, the princess of Yijun, and the Baifeng Dan was worth hundreds of thousands of guan in the eyes of the noble ladies of Chang'an.

Besides, Liu Mu's second sister, although she didn't go out in Chang'an, Liu Mu also gave a milk powder workshop, who doesn't know the current cornucopia of the milk powder workshop.

Thinking of this, Qin Qiong said to Liu Mu: "Xiao Mu, are you looking down on Liu Rengui?"

"What does elder brother-in-law mean by that? I mean I look down on him. To be honest, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I helped Liu Rengui to become the current official. If I looked down on him, I wouldn't spend so much money."
