The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 620
For Li Muyun's beautiful vision, Chen Shuda ignored it. As a superior person, he was ashamed to talk about business affairs.

It's just that no one cared about what old boss Chen thought at this time, no matter whether it was Li Er, Changsun Wuji or Fang Xuanling, they were all listening carefully to Li Muyun's explanation.

At this time, Hou Junji interjected: "I think the biggest advantage is the speed. Once the road is repaired, if there is another rebellion, the army will be able to arrive at the same time, and there will be no more delays like that. about the month."

Chai Shao also nodded beside him: "That's right, if there is a direct road leading to Jiannan, there will no longer be a barren land in the future. Under the deterrence of the court army, the Liao people will not dare to rebel again."

With the support of the two military chiefs, Li Muyun basically won the support of half of the court. Even if Chen Shuda was dissatisfied at this time, he couldn't say anything more.

Because his reasoning only existed in groundless speculation, while Li Muyun's words were based on facts, so no matter how old-fashioned old Mr. Chen was, he knew that he had lost in this matter.

On the other hand, Li Muyun smiled slightly, as if he didn't want to keep his mouth shut. He first thanked the military bosses who supported him from all directions, and then said: "Actually, the development of Jiannan Road is just one of them. Killing everyone, in fact, Li has another idea."

Li Shimin has already been interested in Li Muyun's topic, he waved his hand to stop the low-pitched discussion of the people below, and asked in a deep voice: "Oh? If you have any other ideas, let's hear them!"

Li Muyun turned to face Li Er: "Your Majesty, talents! You know, the introduction of talents is very important. During this trip to Jiannan Road, I observed carefully and found that many Liao people have very unusual ways of thinking. Although they haven't read any books, they have special thinking, so I plan to give them a chance to show their strengths."

"What kind of talents can the Liao people have, but they are just a group of barbarians who can't even write their own names." This time, I don't know who is speaking out below. There are too many people, and it is difficult to find out who it is without standing up.

Li Muyun didn't care much about this, and said with a slight smile, "It doesn't matter whether you can write your name or not, what matters is people. This world seems to be supported by the strong, but who can ignore an ordinary person? It’s not as good as it sounds, but even an ant has its function, but what’s missing is people who find it useful.”

Chen Shuda's eyes flashed brightly, and he thought he had caught Li Muyun's handle, and said, "So the king of the county is the one who can find the use of an ant?"

Anyway, the old man Chen Shuda didn't have a good impression of him at the beginning, so Li Muyun naturally wouldn't put his hot face on someone else's cold ass, let alone be afraid of offending him, so he snorted disdainfully: "If Mr. Chen wants to It doesn't matter if you think so."

This time old boss Chen was really at a loss. Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people supporting him, Li Muyun had already gained the upper hand. In the end, he could only give him an angry look, and retreated among the crowd to plan for the future.

On the contrary, Fang Xuanling nodded thoughtfully after hearing Li Muyun's metaphor: "Although the metaphor of the county king is not very accurate, it has some truth."

"Of course it makes sense!" Li Muyun smiled proudly: "According to my idea, we can give those bureaucrats the opportunity to work, and use this opportunity to select some people with quick thinking or special abilities, and give them a better job. If we bring them to the Central Plains, there will be fewer thoughtful people among the Liao people, so they will naturally be obedient."

Unconsciously, Li Muyun brought up ants as an example again: "It's like there is a group of ants. If we pick out the strongest one and the queen, the rest will be a mess. The same is true for people. When we have picked out the elite among the bureaucrats, the rest will have nothing to worry about."

Li Shimin stared at Li Muyun with piercing eyes and did not speak for a long time. Fang Xuanling and the others below were also bowing their heads in contemplation. Regarding the introduction of talents, although Li Muyun refers to Liaoren, it may not be universal to other surrounding countries. The difference is only in the benefits. Give more or less.

As for whether those people are useful or not in Tang Dynasty, it doesn’t really matter. Even if it’s useless, it’s better than staying in other countries. At worst, just kill them. Anyway, I can’t let them go You use!
After thinking about it, Li Er hastily announced his withdrawal from the imperial court, and asked his eldest grandson Wuji and Fang Xuanling to go to the Liangyi Hall behind to discuss matters. As for Li Muyun, he would go wherever he wanted. Down or not doesn't make any sense anymore.

And Chen Shuda's impeachment was also put on hold. I don't know how many such messy impeachments happened every day, and most of them were put on hold by Li Er and the mud.

In Li Shimin's view, the courtiers must not let them have one mind, otherwise they will be too big to lose, and they will all join together to fight against him, the emperor; but they must not be allowed to fight too hard, otherwise internal friction will occur.

The most important point is that it doesn't matter how the people below fight. The high-level must not be chaotic. People like Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, and Li Jing must be of one mind with themselves.

Li Shimin has a good grasp of the speed in the middle, and it is precisely because of this that there will be a grand occasion when all nations come to court during Zhenguan.

But these are all digressions, but it is said that Li Muyun was about to go home to make up for a rest after leaving court, but he was stopped by an old man when he arrived at the gate of the palace.

I saw that the old man had a pair of nearsighted glasses about the same thickness as the bottom of the Erguotou bottle on his face, and his eyes were full of excitement, like a fox seeing a fat chicken.

Li Muyun was frightened and jumped back two steps, and asked nervously: "Uh..., you, who are you?"

"Old man Kong Yingda, I had a relationship with the county king a few years ago." The little old man said with a smile on his face.

Kong Yingda, Li Muyun had heard about it, and after careful recollection, it seemed that he had indeed seen this old man once, but it was the first time he entered Chang'an at that time, and the purpose seemed to be to discuss Arabic numerals.

However, Li Muyun still didn't understand why the old man smiled so wickedly. Looking at that smile, Li Muyun couldn't help but think of the old liar who tricked children with lollipops.

"The king doesn't remember being old?" Kong Yingda asked again when Li Muyun was in a daze.

Li Muyun came back to his senses, and forced a smile on his face: "Uh..., no, no, Master Kong's reputation is like thunder, I have heard about it for a long time, and I wanted to visit your residence several times to ask for advice, but I have no time because of my busy schedule."

"The king of the county, thank you, thank you!" Kong Yingda rubbed his hands, hesitant to speak, looking very funny.

Li Muyun was wondering why Lao Kong would find him, so he tentatively asked, "Master Kong, is there something wrong?"

Kong Yingda opened his mouth, hesitant, and said after a while: "Actually, it's nothing serious, but I don't know when the county king will be free. I want to go to the mansion to pay a visit sometime."

Li Muyun didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the little old man's gourd, but he still said politely and rationally: "Master Kong's words are ignoring Li, the old man is highly knowledgeable, and he is the master's descendant. If it is called a visit, it is Mu Yun who went to your mansion to pay a visit. , there is no reason to let the boss come to my house."

Kong Yingda was already prepared to be rejected, but she didn't expect that Li Muyun would be so polite, and she was so happy at the moment, stroking her beard and saying: "Well, as expected of a disciple trained by Zhong Mi, he is really knowledgeable and reasonable , children can be taught!"

The corners of Li Muyun's mouth twitched wildly, but he didn't say anything, just smiled embarrassingly.

Zhongmi is Yu Zhining's name, and Yu Zhining is well-known as a founder in the court, and he has some friendship with Kong Yingda, so Lao Kong will call him that.

What made Li Muyun embarrassing was that this was the first time someone used a positive word to describe him. Countless people used to call him cold-blooded, bastard, and butcher, and these big killers Li could accept it calmly.

But now that Li Muyun blushed unexpectedly after being accused of being knowledgeable and reasonable, and a child can be taught. No matter how rich his imagination was, he never thought that he could be connected with these two words.

But fortunately, Kong Yingda didn't continue to boast. Seeing that he had promised to come to his home in a while, he said goodbye and left happily. This made Li Muyun heave a sigh of relief, otherwise he would still I really don't know how to answer the call.

And at this moment, Chen Shuda also came out surrounded by a group of people, all of them looked at Li Muyun with unkind eyes, apparently they were not going to let it go.

Li Muyun is not afraid of them, with the little old man Li Yuan backing him up, he can say that he is not afraid of anyone in the entire Tang court except Li Er, not to mention one Chen Shuda, even ten Chen Shudas are not afraid of him.

Just like that, Li Muyun walked away amid Chen Shuda's glaring glare for a while, leaving a long string of disdainful laughter behind him.

"Uncle, this son is really too arrogant. If we don't give him a good lesson, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive in the future." A middle-aged man in his forties stood beside Chen Shuda, looking at Li Muyun's back and gritted his teeth. .

"It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. I will write this account to him first today, and I will settle it with him sooner or later." Chen Shuda shook his head.

The middle-aged man looked worried: "But uncle, if you don't bring this person down, His Highness the Crown Prince will get the help of this person, and the next step will definitely speed up, if..."

The corner of Chen Shuda's mouth twitched slightly: "What are you afraid of? It's not just us. The Tang Dynasty is so big, there are many people who need to pay for food. I don't believe that he can offend everyone."

If Li Muyun had heard this conversation, he would have understood why so many people in the court wanted to criticize his affairs in Jiannan Road, but at this time Li Muyun had already left the palace and did not know about the conversation between Chen Shuda and the others .
