Li Mu ran far away. Eunuch Gao took a man into the hall, looked around, waved his hand, and asked all the palace servants who served him to retreat.

Eunuch Gao picked up the ritual knife on the ground and placed it on the shelf again, then stood beside him. The people who followed him saluted Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, saying, "My minister Yuan Tiangang, join Your Majesty, join the Empress."

"How is it checked?"

Yuan Tiangang replied: "Li Mu's father-in-law used money and hired almost all the idle men from the east and west markets. These idle men urged their wives and relatives to get into trouble. These idle men are used to fighting in the market and are good at malicious attacks. There are not many injured on their side, and most of them are skin injuries. However, the injuries of the great scholars in Shandong are serious. Although they have no worries about their lives, they are inevitably broken bones and tendons. When I came, I received the news that almost all the doctors in Chang'an had gone to Lu's house, screaming endlessly. As for the cost of hiring people, the news I heard now is that they don't do anything. I always heard of them, and they cursed and attacked them again. Two kon and several women who took the lead were staring at the big scholars and beat them up and scolded them, and five kon and money. Now the money has been paid, and they all went home happily."

Li Shimin nodded. The news that Yuan Tiangang investigated was exactly the same as Li Mu's confession, and the little suspicion about Li Mu in his heart disappeared.

"Have I given the medical expenses I asked the Shandong gentry to give to the people?"

"It has been given." Yuan Tiangang said: "It was Lu Zhaoling, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, who came forward to give it to the court. He was the nephew of the Louvre. The Louvre was also injured, so he had to come forward. He first gave one hundred stakes, but the women refused, and finally added fifty stakes, a total of one hundred and fifty stakes. He was worried that the people would make trouble again, so he even made a document on the spot."

"Haha!" Li Shimin couldn't help laughing and said, "If I had known this, why wouldn't it be that way? These Shandong gentry really had to have a bastard like Li Mu to deal with them!"

After Li Shimin said that, he looked at Yuan Tiangang again and said, "Have you ever found out whether Li Mu had sent news to the palace?"

Yuan Tiangang shook his head and said, "I have checked it, but it's not bad. Unless..." Yuan Tiangang didn't say it thoroughly, but just glanced at Eunuch Gao.

Eunuch Gao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have never helped Zhulu Hou convey the news. Lao Nu just asked Jinwu Guard not to stop the people. Zhulu Hou just told Lao Nu that he would give Lao Nu five gold cakes, and Lao Nu was willing to offer it to His Majesty."

"Five golden cakes! Humph!" Li Shimin beat the table and said to Empress Changsun: "See it. This kid is really rich, even richer than me!"

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Your Majesty wants to take care of the people of the world. No matter how much money is, it is not enough. Li Mu, the child, is good at making money. This time, Eunuch Gao helped him, and he should repay him with gratitude. This shows that this child is really not greedy for money and has the style of famous scholars in the Wei and Jin Dynasties."

"I just knew to praise him. If I hadn't known you, I would have thought you had been bribed by him!"

Empress Changsun smiled but said nothing. Li Shimin looked at Eunuch Gao and said, "Since it was given to you by that kid, why do I have the nerve to ask for it? Keep it and reward your godsons and godsons. If they call you ancestors, isn't it for the reward?"

Eunuch Gao quickly said, "I thank you for your understanding."

"Okay, I'm tired, let's go."

"promise."

When Eunuch Gao and Yuan Tiangang retreated, Li Shimin said to Empress Changsun: "Empress, are you too worried? This child is smart, but he doesn't look like a cunning person, and it shouldn't be a plan. When I saw that when he answered the right answer with me, my eyes were clear, not like someone with a ghost in my heart. Besides, I really couldn't imagine what good it would be for him."

Empress Changsun said: "I can't think of the reason for him to do this, but my intuition tells me that this matter is not as simple as Li Mu said. Let's talk about his trump card, at least I think it is definitely not as ridiculous as smashing the wall. Did Your Majesty have thought that he was saying that the Su Guogong would let him run away, and Your Majesty would not be willing to kill him. What if the Su Guogong refused to let him go? Your Majesty insisted on killing him? Wouldn't he be dead? And Your Majesty should not forget that he has Su Hui. Even if Yuan Tiangang said, his Su Hui has become one with him, since he is Su Hui, how can he be willing to hand over his own safety to others? Therefore, I feel that the trump card he is counting on must be the father, but now I don't know how he contacted his father, or that he is confident that his father will save him... I can't guess this."

"Let him." Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "To be honest, I really can't bear to part with him. And although this time it was a bit big, it also made the Shandong gentry show its trump card. If it weren't for this incident, I wouldn't know that the Shandong gentry's power in the court had reached this point..."

A cold light flashed in Li Shimin's eyes and said, "It seems that some people need to move their positions."

Empress Changsun stumbled for a moment, as if he was hesitating whether he should speak. When Li Shimin saw it, he said, "You and I are husband and wife. You can't say anything you want to say, say what you want."

"Your Majesty, I think it's a bit inappropriate for the people in the harem to criticize the court. But since your Majesty asks, I will just say it." Empress Changsun said in a stern manner: "Your Majesty, I remember that when talking about Du Xiang's condition a few days ago, Your Majesty mentioned that he wanted Wei Zheng to be the Shangshu's Right Pushe, but now it seems inappropriate."

"Hmph! I'm just talking about it. The position of Shangshu's Right Pushe is so important, how can I appoint him?"

Empress Changsun said again: "But Your Majesty, if you don't use Wei Zheng, who will you use?"

"Who should I use..." Li Shimin was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and said, "The person I am thinking of is an auxiliary machine..."

"No!" Empress Changsun said seriously: "Your Majesty has promised me."

"Oh..." Li Shimin was very upset and said, "If you don't use auxiliary machines, who else can it be? Who is the Chinese civil and military in this court qualified? You can't let me invite my uncle, right?"

The uncle Li Shimin mentioned was Gao Shilian, Duke Shen. His talent was limited. If he was the Minister of Shangshu, he would probably be a voice-sensitive insect.

Empress Changsun said, "My uncle is old, and it is even more unfair to say that he is a relative of the outside world. I have someone to choose in my heart, so Your Majesty might as well listen."

"explain."

"Why, Li Jing?"

"Li Jing?" Li Shimin frowned slightly and said, "I also know that I treated him badly a few days ago, but he is now the Minister of War. If he is the Minister of the Shang Dynasty, his qualifications and talents are enough, but who will take over the Minister of War? It can't be with them together, right?"

"Hou Junji can be the Minister of War."

"Hou Junji..." Li Shimin nodded and said, "Hou Junji did make great efforts back then. I have rewarded all the meritorious officials over the years. Compared with his merits, Hou Junji's rewards are indeed less. It is not necessary to promote him to be the Minister of War."

Li Shimin thought for a while, shook his head again, and said, "It's still not possible, Queen, there is one thing you are afraid you didn't think about. My uncle and Li Jing are quite a bit quarrel about Queen Xiao's affairs. My uncle is still the chief censor now. If Li Jing Jin's right servant shoots, he will vaguely suppress him. My uncle has a bad temper. How can he do it? Those censors have a very good nose and smell the opportunity. They can't line up to write to impeach him?"

Empress Changsun smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have thought of this matter. Li Jing has made great contributions, and Your Majesty also knows that his uncle impeached Li Jing's faults are all things that are stolen. If Li Jing is promoted, he must give him an explanation. The prince is getting older and he has begun to have his own ideas. The subordinates of the Eastern Palace often find him and say that the prince is not obeying the discipline. I think that ordinary people are afraid that they will not be able to suppress the prince. My uncle is a good candidate, so it is better to appoint him as the prince's young tutor and discipline the prince. The prince has not yet established the third division, and the young tutor is the largest subordinate in the Eastern Palace. It can not only show Your Majesty's attitude, but also protect the uncle's face. Moreover, Pinyi is also equivalent to the left and right servants, and they are all second-rank, so my uncle will not feel shorter than Li Jing."

Li Shimin thought for a while, nodded, and said, "This arrangement is reasonable, but if my uncle is the young master of the crown prince, who will be the censor? The censor is no better than other official positions, and must be someone who can reassure me."

Empress Changsun said: "Your Majesty, what do you think Wei Zheng?"

"Wei Zheng?" When Li Shimin heard this name, he raised his hands eight times, waved his hands repeatedly, and said, "How can Wei Zheng do it? He is not a censor, and he always yells in my ears every day. If he becomes a censor, will I have a good life? No, absolutely not!"

Empress Changsun was not busy, and looked at Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, think about it carefully. If you don't let him be the censor, will he be less noisy? Now you already know that most of the people in the Censorate are the power of Shandong gentry. Why not just let Wei Zheng be the Censor. In this way, not only will you show your metrics, but you can also block the mouths of Shandong gentry, and also eliminate Wei Zheng's fantasy about the position of Pushe. There are multiple goals at one stroke. Will Your Majesty not consider it?"

"This..." Li Shimin thought carefully for a while and felt that what Empress Changsun said was reasonable. Wei Zheng was like a stone in the pit, smelly and hard. He could not kill him, and it would be disgusting everywhere. Even if he was asked to be a free official, he would still write a letter, and he would still be noisy and would be noisy, and he would not be different from the censor. In this case, it would be better to let him be the censor, and put the power of these Shandong gentry into one place, and distribute it everywhere. He had to be careful of them.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin laughed and said, "I have an empress, no less than an extra prime minister. The empress thought carefully and just did it!"

Empress Changsun hurriedly said, "Your Majesty has praised you. I shouldn't be too talkative about the affairs of the court. I just saw that Your Majesty had been struggling for several days and couldn't bear it, so I felt... "
