Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 174 The Story About Putting Salt in Tea (Fifth Change)
At this time, Liu Mu's eyes changed, and when he looked at Li Shimin again, Liu Mu said in his heart that he deserves to be the first emperor who has left his name through the ages, and he is really convinced.

"Strike." A home run appeared, and Li Shimin clapped his hands lightly.

After a long time, Liu Mu didn't even think about Li Shimin's real intentions. He shook his head and didn't want to think about it any more. He sat down and watched the game with peace of mind.

Li Shimin saw that Liu Mu had returned to normal, and regardless of whether Liu Mu wanted to understand, he turned his head and said, "There is a concubine Ji in Yuanji's mansion who was once a famous artist in the south of the Yangtze River..."

When Liu Mu heard this, he subconsciously said, "Second Brother, if you are not afraid that someone will scold you in a thousand years, then you will not dare to think about it."

Li Shimin was really taken aback by Liu Mu's few words.

Li Shimin really had a heart, he planned to send that Yi Ji to Liu Mu, so that he could help Liu Mu train newcomers in Wenyue Pavilion.Of course, he also has a little bit of thought, and there is one of them that he does have a little bit of love for.

Liu Mu said again: "Second brother, don't be seduced and mislead your reputation. People surnamed Cui will also gossip about this kind of thing, and they may not be able to secretly record things that cannot be recorded in the history book."

There are records in history that Li Shimin killed his brother and took his wife.

However, some historians have explained that it is inevitable for a woman to take some relatively active actions in a palace with no support.But the history cannot be checked, and Liu Mu is sitting next to Li Shimin at this time. As far as Liu Mu is concerned, he does not want the eternal emperor to have this historical stain.

There are too many things like killing brothers and grabbing the throne in history.

But it's too dirty to steal a brother's woman.

Li Shimin was moved by Liu Mu's words, not because of Liu Mu's brilliant language, but because Li Shimin believed that Liu Mu had identified himself as the next Great Tang Emperor, so when he spoke, he was really thinking about his reputation as the Great Tang Emperor.

And Liu Mu said another sentence, which really made Li Shimin's mentality undergo a qualitative change.

"Second brother, there are three kings of Qin in the book I read. The first is the first king of Qin, King Qin Huiwen. The second is the first emperor, King Qin, and the third is the second brother. I am thinking, after 2000 years People, how would you write about the third king of Qin?"

"En." Li Shimin said kindly, and he listened.

"Second brother, let me tell you a story. There was a scholar who met an official daughter at a tea party. The scholar always added some salt when drinking tea. This behavior attracted the curiosity of the official daughter."

When Li Shimin heard this story, his first reaction was, shouldn't salt be added to tea?
Liu Mu is indeed brain-dead. This story is about drinking coffee with salt in later generations. As a result, there is no coffee in this era, so tea is used.

Li Shimin didn't interrupt Liu Mu, and listened to Liu Mu's continuation.

"Then the two got married, and when the scholar was old, he told his wife that in fact he didn't like drinking tea with salt, and that he had been telling lies all his life. But his wife said that if you love each other for a lifetime, even if you are cheated all your life, It's true too."

After listening, Li Shimin said: "Is tea still called tea without salt?"

"Okay, change to milk, goat's milk." Liu Mu changed to another kind.

The story is not important, what is important is the meaning that the story represents.Li Shimin understood that this was a small suggestion from Liu Mu.

"Gao Ming, the second brother knows." Li Shimin accepted this suggestion, and Li Shimin tried his best to keep it a secret from Li Yuan, forever.

All the courtiers who watched the game were hoarse with excitement, feeling unfinished.

"Ming, tomorrow, Xiaomin will send you elders, uncles, and brothers. More fanatical and more interesting competitions. However, please prepare copper coins tomorrow, and the minimum bet requires a box of money. IOUs can be issued." Liu Mu stood up and saluted, Gao shouted.

Pei Ji immediately shouted: "Come here, write a note to Xiaomu, and prepare ten carriage money first. Hahaha."

Everyone laughed.

A box is ten guan, weighing 64 catties.One carriage is eight boxes, so Pei Ji would like to bet and prepare ten carriages first.In fact, in today's match, Pei Ji had a bet with several important ministers beside him, that is, there are twelve small silver ingots, which are worth twelve coins.

Next, it should be time for preserved food, which is Datang's lunch.

But the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty didn't let anyone eat, and directly asked these people to enter the front hall of Zhuangzi, and the imperial guards guarded the gate.

"Erlang, you asked all the veterans to come here. It seems that you are quite sure. Now that you are here, let's discuss it and see if there is anything to add. You are not allowed to eat or drink, because you are afraid that you will fall asleep after eating and lose the energy to talk. It's business. I will be the host for a while, and there will be good wine. This was prepared by my son-in-law for the wedding, and I found out, hahaha."

Li Yuan laughed out loud.

Li Shimin got up: "Father, there is one more person."

Li Yuan knew who Li Shimin was talking about, it was Liu Mu.He also understood that Li Shimin was asking himself whether to let Liu Mu come to the front of the stage.

Li Shimin had his own thoughts. He did this to protect Liu Mu. If Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty let Liu Mu come out, it meant that Liu Mu was a trusted confidant of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. .

At the same time, it also allowed the courtiers to rule out the speculation that Liu Mu had something to do with him.

What Li Yuan thought was that Liu Mu was still young, and he was afraid of gossip if he was a servant, so let these servants form a team and play every day for fun.

After thinking about it, Li Yuan said: "Forget it, I can't have a few advisers yet, Erlang will speak to the ministers on my behalf, the focus of today's discussion is to let Chai Shao lead [-] elite and [-] auxiliary soldiers to the north in the name of countering the rebellion. Shubao will add another [-] troops, I don't want to lose."

Li Yuan's order made the important ministers confused.

The governor of Bingzhou was actually not a small official. In Tang Dynasty, Bingzhou led nine counties including Jinyang (Taiyuan), Shangdang, Xihe, Yunzhong, Dingxiang, Yanmen, Shuofang, Wuyuan, and Shangjun.It's just that Shuofang is currently occupied by Liang Shidu, named Liang Guo.

The place where Qin Qiong is at this time is in Jinyang, which can be the land of Longxing of the Tang royal family.

He is not a very reliable person, and Li Yuan will not let him become the governor of Bingzhou.

After receiving the order, Li Shimin stepped forward, and immediately the forbidden soldiers began to seal the doors and windows, even the roof and the beams of the house, and a huge map was opened by the forbidden soldiers.

"The king was ordered to speak on behalf of the sage about this battle. A sage's counselor proposed to take Youzhou and form an alliance with the credible Eastern Turkic grassland tribe in the removal of winter."

Li Shimin pointed out Youzhou and the scope of the grassland mentioned on the map.

Everyone here is an important minister. If you don't even know where Youzhou is, you are not qualified to sit here, but Li Shimin still pointed out the location of Youzhou.

When mentioning Youzhou, a general stood up and said, "Youzhou, it's difficult!"
