Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 417 That Exclamation

Hearing the answer from the Baekje envoy, Liu Mu said: "Okay, I will send someone to talk to you later, don't worry. I, Liu Mu, never bully others in my work. I like to make the people who cooperate with me feel comfortable and satisfied. Hurry up and make arrangements. No matter whether His Highness King Qin returns to Chang'an tonight, you must make preparations in advance."

"Yes!" The Baekje envoy retreated to the door on his knees, and then left.

Liu Mu felt dazed in his head, and it wasn't until Li Shimin arrived an hour later that Liu Mu understood why.

"Second brother, it seems that Baekje has an eyeliner in our Chang'an, otherwise what you said at the banquet would have spread to the ears of Baekje people so quickly, I'm terrified."

Li Shimin waved his hand: "It may not be that I heard it at the banquet. After I finished speaking at that time, there were many people around. Soon after that, the people at the banquet in other courtyards also heard it. The old man surnamed Pu was not ashamed and turned I am proud of it, and even shouted it publicly once outside with the help of Jiu Jin."

"As long as there is no eyeliner placed by your side, it will make people feel at ease, this Silla person, alas!"

Liu Mu didn't even know how to evaluate it.

"Send someone to inquire. Some people in Wenyue Pavilion who specialize in studying the peninsula gave me the opinion that this decree is not a forced evil decree, but that it is the voice of the people who are willing to come to Datang."

"I found out after checking, but it's the second brother. If you get drunk at my place once, I'll tell you about someone else."

When Liu Mu talked about the kinship relationship, Li Shimin, who is so shrewd, felt that he had two heads. After Liu Mu talked about it twice, Li Shimin couldn't distinguish the extremely complicated kinship relationship.

"Second brother, think about it in a simple way. There is a woman who married twice, both of whom were half-brothers. Then she and the two people she married were both kings of Japan, and then her younger sister and son also married. Became King of Japan. His sister's other daughter..."

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and listened, these twisted words sounded like a headache.

In the end, Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said, "You promise, Wa Island is of great benefit to my Tang Dynasty."

"I made a mistake, this is for you." After Liu Mu pointed at his head, Li Shimin slapped the table heavily: "So like this, just use your words, even if it's a sow, the second brother will recognize it."

Li Shimin's expression is not much better than going to the execution ground, it is a kind of decisiveness.

Liu Mu ordered people to prepare food and wine, since Li Shimin was asked to pretend to be drunk, he had to pretend to be drunk.

After the food and wine were served, Li Shimin signaled that he and Liu Mu would be alone for the meeting, while Baoqin and Li Shimin's guards all retreated outside the house.

"Xiaomu, I have heard about the troubles caused by the monks. It doesn't matter if these people make trouble, but the monks in the Western Regions represent the envoys. The emperor added a court meeting tomorrow for this time, which shows that he attaches great importance to it. You What are you going to do?"

Li Shimin asked very seriously.

Liu Mu didn't answer immediately, but instead asked: "Second brother, what do you think of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism?"

"The one that can maintain the stability of my Tang Dynasty is a good family." Li Shimin didn't shy away from such questions at all. In his eyes, everything can't compare with his world.

At this time, Liu Mu suddenly felt a feeling of fear welling up from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing Liu Mu's face change slightly, Li Shimin asked, "What did you think of?"

"Thinking of a terrible thing, I will tell my second brother."

Li Shimin poured a glass of wine for himself and Liu Mu, and motioned Liu Mu to talk casually.

Liu Mu said: "A thought popped into my head, which is to send troops to attack Gaochang under the pretext of the demon monks in Gaochang to confuse the crowd. This thought flashed through my head, but it made me feel scared."

"Afraid?" Li Shimin laughed: "Attacking Gaochang is an inevitable national policy. It is just a matter of attacking early and late. The reasons and excuses are all for the purpose of sending troops. When the second brother rebelled against the Sui Dynasty with his father, what he shouted at first was King Qing and King Qin set up a little thing as the emperor, what is the plan?"

"It is to give the people of the world a reason."

Li Shimin patted the table lightly: "That's right, it's just a reason. Then, what is the Zen position? It's purely an orthodox reason. But no matter how many reasons there are, you need to defeat the enemy first. If you win, you can say anything. If you lose, you can say anything." Nothing will work. Let’s just talk about it right now, the prince and I.”

Li Shimin mentioned the prince again, this topic is a bit sensitive, Liu Mu didn't answer.

But Li Shimin obviously didn't care: "I won, I made the Tang Dynasty rich, and I will be the wise king when all nations come to court. On the contrary, if I don't do well, there will be people in this world who make excuses to rebel, even our own family. Who does Li Xiaogong belong to?" Whoever conquers the strong will surely rebel against the weak.”

These words really startled Liu Mu.

Hahaha!
Li Shimin laughed heartily: "Furthermore, if our brother is defeated, the crown prince may write that you and I are inferior to pigs and dogs in the history books, so what are you afraid of?"

Li Shimin's words were so true that Liu Mu couldn't answer them.

That is to say, in Wenyue Pavilion, there are desperate rangers who sold their lives to Liu Mu, or bet their lives on Li Shimin. Li Shimin might not dare to say such things in another place.

Liu Mu said: "Second brother, Daqin has waged many wars abroad. Their reason is more simple. Heretics must be slaves, and those who disobey will be killed. Dashi is more direct. Either believe in their religion or die, otherwise they will be slaves." I have no chance. Do you think I'm afraid?"

From what Li Shimin heard, Liu Mu might not be afraid of these two countries, but Liu Mu might be afraid of a doctrinal dispute.

"That's right, such a reason is indeed a bit scary. It seems that the second brother needs to think about it seriously between Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. On the other hand, it is obvious that the foreign monk is looking for trouble for you. What should you do?" response."

"I don't care at all, they can't play with me. These fan monks are not the kind of brave dragons crossing the river. A few little bugs dare to turn the clouds and rain in Chang'an without asking. What is our Chang'an city in the Tang Dynasty? place. I've sent people around to collect what I want and make them look good tomorrow."

Li Shimin asked with a smile: "Then where is Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty?"

"The center of the world, the number one city in the world."

"Okay." Li Shimin drank a cup happily, he likes to hear Liu Mu's words, quite like it.

But Liu Mu said: "Second brother, you don't have to speak for me tomorrow, I have plenty of ways to deal with mere fan monks."

"Then, drink!" Li Shimin raised his glass.

About a quarter of an hour later, Liu Mu came outside the house and signaled Li Shimin's entourage to help Li Shimin to rest.

Li Shimin was not really drunk when he was drunk, but he was a little bit drunk. After all, he drank two drinks in a row, and Lao Cheng and the others were all well-known drunken ghosts in Datang.

With a bit of drunkenness, Li Shimin rested alone on the cushion.

At this time, a figure appeared, with snow-white clothes, a pale face, blood-red lips opened but pitch-black teeth, in the eyes of the half-drunk Li Shimin, he looked like a ghost.

what……
