Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 459

Hearing Liu Chongchong said that he wanted to recommend someone to become an official, Liu Mu immediately said: "I recommend the grandpa to edit the clan records. This matter has been approved by the sage."

"Can you recommend one or two more talented peers to join the officialdom?" Liu Chongchong was not making a request, but in a pleading tone. He knew Liu Mu's character very well. The identity request is definitely not going to work.

Liu Mu understood this, he had heard from Cui Yiye that getting into an official position in the Tang Dynasty was not as useful as a recommendation letter.

The more prestigious the recommendation letter is, the more useful it is.

"Okay, Grandpa chose two people to go south with me this time. If they are really talented, I will recommend them after returning to Chang'an." Liu Mu also understood that as a member of the Liu clan, he really couldn't avoid this kind of thing. , it is not easy to refuse.

Liu Chongchong asked again, choose four people, and choose two from them.This means that Liu Mu must submit two recommendation letters, and Liu Mu agreed, but Liu Mu also said: "If the four of them are useless materials, I will not issue recommendation letters."

"That's it, let's talk about another thing."

"Your Majesty, tell me."

"His Royal Highness Princess Changping had a discussion with your eldest sister a year ago, and she wrote me a letter. During the New Year, Chenjun Xie, Langya Wang, and Hongnong Yang are all willing to choose a housewife. What do you think about yourself?"

After Liu Chongchong finished speaking, he stared into Liu Mu's eyes. He needed to get married this time. This was a great opportunity for the Liu clan to make friends with the top clan.

It is said that there are 36 gates, but there are also levels.

The five surnames and Qiwang are definitely a super wealthy family, the Hongnong Yang family is the top family among the 36 families, and the Liu family can only be regarded as the middle and lower class.The other two clans are not counted among the 36 clans at this time.

During the Houjing Rebellion between the Wang clan of Langya and the Xie clan of Chenjun, the great clans were wiped out.But it doesn't mean that the members of these two clans are extinct. After all, in the era from the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Liang Dynasty, the two clans were the top clans.

Liu Mu felt strange in his heart. His moral values ​​of future generations told him that if he chatted too intimately with a certain woman after marriage, his wife would probably turn against him.

But here in Datang, they just got married and had no children for two years, so Dugu Lanruo tried to find another one for herself.

"Grandfather, let me think about this matter, and I will talk about it after I go south and make arrangements for the saint."

"It's not that the grandpa is urging you. Yang's marriage is beneficial to the big clan, and it's also good for you. The first clan outside the five surnames is not called for nothing. As for the other two clans, the big clan has disappeared, but the clansmen still exist, and they still guard The fame of the two clans, but the other branches have no chance to become a famous clan, but the strength of the background only needs one chance."

Liu Chongchong continued to explain to Liu Mu.

Liu Mu originally wanted to refuse, and also opposed Dugu Lanruo's idea, but at this time he was awakened by Liu Chongchong's words.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the Wang family of Langya is the most wealthy family in China. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, more than [-]% of the officials were children of the Wang family, and the Sima family had to be courteous.

After the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the world said Wang Xie.

It was the Wang family and the Xie family who occupied the court.

Just because the great clan is destroyed does not mean that the family has disappeared, just like the fact that all the great clans here in Liujiahe River are dead, there are still many branches of the Liu clan in the world.The same goes for Xie and Wang.

Speaking of the Wang family, Liu Mu remembered that there was a famous person in the Ming Dynasty, Wang Shouren, who was a descendant of the Wang family and Wang Xizhi.

As for the Xie family, Xie Yingdeng is the descendant of the Xie family, and in the future, so is Xie Qian in the Ming Dynasty.

"Grandfather, let me think about it. I have already listened to your words. My heart is biased towards Xie's family, but let me think about it again. And this matter can't be rushed. You can't let me be an animal."

Liu Chongchong was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head with a big laugh: "Anxin, the final decision on this matter is with Princess Changping. The princess has seen someone and just nodded her head. According to the rules of the family, if you marry or marry again, you have to pay for it." The lady is in charge, if this matter is serious, I can still say a few words, grandpa, you don't have the right to say a word."

"This..." Liu Muxin said, as the person involved, I don't even have the right to speak.

But the fact is indeed like this, Liu Mu really has no right to speak.

After only stopping in Hedong for two days, Liumu began to continue walking south.

At this time, Liumu has two choices. One is to go directly south, then to Dengzhou, then turn east and then follow the river to the Yangtze River, and then follow the Yangtze River to Dongting Lake.Then turn to the Xiang River and continue south.

The second is to turn south after reaching Luoyang.

Liu Mu chose the first road. He didn't want to take too many land routes, and chose water routes as much as possible.

Before parting, Li Shimin sent Liu Mu on board.

Liu Mu told Li Shimin what Liu Chongchong said, but Li Shimin said: "If you ask the second brother to suggest, you should choose the Yang family. Don't ask the reason, and the second brother will tell you when you come back."

"Second brother, while I'm not in Chang'an, if something happens, can you keep Wei Zheng?"

Li Shimin smiled lightly: "Of course."

Li Shimin didn't tell Liu Mu that he would try to keep as many people as possible in his mind, and Li Shimin probably already knew what would happen in Chang'an, but when and under what circumstances, Li Shimin was not sure.

Going to Luoyang is to stabilize a rear area that is beneficial to oneself.

Li Shimin thought it was a good thing that Liu Mu didn't follow, but Liu Mu was still too weak in Li Shimin's heart.

"Second brother, I'm leaving." Liu Mu was about to board the boat.

Li Shimin stood by the pedal and stretched out a hand, instead of the boatman helping Liumu onto the boat.

"Thank you, brother."

"Don't be brave in Lingnan. The second brother is not afraid of anyone's rebellion. Also, don't forget to go back to Chang'an after playing. Now you seriously answer the second brother, how long will it take for you to come back?"

Li Shimin didn't wait for Liu Mu to answer before he finished asking, and said again: "Second brother, I remember that you mentioned more than once that you are going to Jiaozhi, or the ends of the earth. So second brother needs an accurate time."

Liu Mu had already forgotten about it, and when Li Shimin mentioned it again, the reaction on Liu Mu's face made Li Shimin smile.

"Go ahead, don't play for too long." Li Shimin didn't ask any more, the reaction on Liu Mu's face just now has the answer, as long as Liu Mu is willing to come back, playing for a few more months is not a problem.

Watching Liu Mu's boat go away, Changsun Wuji came to Li Shimin: "Do you have to let him go south?"

"No, he asked for it himself. I could stop it, but I don't want to."

"Why?" Changsun Wuji asked.

"Wuji, there are ten people who must die. Do you know who they are?" The murderous intent appeared in Li Shimin's eyes, and the eldest grandson Wuji was also shocked. He knew who Li Shimin was talking about, and he replied in a low voice: "I will secretly kill you." It was arranged by someone."

Li Shimin confessed again: "Xiaomu has a good saying, if you spend your whole life telling a lie, it is not a lie. If you can't do this, then the ten people must live, and then talk about it."
