Chapter 120

The two brothers looked at each other speechlessly. Li Mu apologized for not being able to protect Li Siwen's completeness. Li Siwen felt guilty for causing Li Mu a lot of trouble. After a long period of silence, Li Mu said, "I don't know when I will meet again after this. In the future, you must be more cautious in doing things and not trust others easily. When encountering things, ask Brother Wang more. Gensheng is also his own person. He is younger than you. Take care of more. You can rest assured to leave private matters to him."

Li Siwen nodded vigorously, his eyes flushed.

Li Mu said again: "Dingxiang is the place where we met, and now it has become your fief. You have to manage it well. The brewing method I taught you is just right. Let's take the lead. In a few days, I will make a set of brewing equipment and send someone to you. Open another winery in Dingxiang. The Hu people in the Western Regions are easy to drink and it is not difficult to buy or sell. We have discussed how to price and sell, and you have a clear idea. Gensheng can also make wine, and he can help you. Remember that the secret method should not be leaked. This is the foundation of your foothold in Dingxiang. Without money, everything is difficult."

Li Siwen lowered her head and tears fell down.

Li Mu felt uncomfortable when he looked at him. He raised his hand and wiped him for a while, saying, "Why is a real man like a daughter? Isn't it just that he was cheated once? What's the point? Just keep your eyes open in the future!"

Li Siwen raised her head, looked at Li Mu with tears in her eyes, and asked, "Brother, do you think I'm wrong?"

"What do you think?"

"I just want to be a hero and righteous person. I don't think I'm wrong. But my father beat me and His Majesty punished me, I... I don't know!"

"That's right!" Li Mu said loudly: "I often say, if you have righteousness in your heart, why are you afraid of others' words? If you do anything, you will be accidental. If you are deceived, it is just an accident. But your original intention is good, and even if you are wrong, it will not be with you!"

"Really?"

"Really!" Li Mu looked back at the slightly awkward Eunuch Gao and Li Ji, and said, "It is good to go to Dingxiang, study hard. If I hadn't been to Dingxiang, how could I become the number one poet of the Tang Dynasty and be respected today?"

Li Siwen cried and said, "Brother, I know you read books, and I heard you write poems, but when did you become the number one poet of the Tang Dynasty? Was it the title of His Majesty?"

After hearing this, Eunuch Gao couldn't help laughing and quickly turned his head aside.

Li Mu was extremely embarrassed and knocked Li Siwen on the head and cursed: "Why am I not the number one poet in the Tang Dynasty? This is called self-confidence! People must be confident. Who else can I do the first poet in the Tang Dynasty? If you don't agree, I will compare it!"

Li Siwen's back was already painful. When Li Mu knocked, his head was buzzing. He was worried that he would be hit again, so he quickly admitted that he was the number one poet in the Tang Dynasty.

Li Mu stared at him angrily. After such a fuss, the sad atmosphere of parting was diluted. Li Mu patted Li Siwen on the shoulder and said, "If you have the chance in the future, I will help you to make peace in front of His Majesty. When I arrive in Dingxiang, I will write a letter back. I have nothing to give you, so I won't be sad. When I leave, I will give you a poem, hanging it on the wall to encourage myself. When I study hard, I will look up and see when I can reach one tenth of my life. You will have a place in the Tang Dynasty poetry world."

As he said that, regardless of the eyes of the people around him, he shouted: "Come on the pen and ink!"

Li Bi was a little amused and crying next to him, but he still gave face to his servants and asked his servants to get paper and pen. Li Mu asked Bai Gensheng and Wang Hu to help stretch rice paper, pick up the wolf brush, dip it ink, and write it with the style of a "master" in later generations.

The clouds and water flowing, the scattered, the winding lines are everywhere, and the blink of an eye is eight lines.

receive!

Li Mu threw the pen and said, "Colle it well!"

Everyone came to see it and frowned. Li Siwen stared at her eyes for a long time, and then stroking her hands and complimented: "Brother, you are really worthy of being the number one poet of the Tang Dynasty. I don't even know a single word of this poem you wrote!"

Li Mu was extremely embarrassed. The little bastard dared to turn around and scold your brother? Although the words were ugly, they were not unaware of them! Li Mu glared at Li Siwen fiercely, reached out to compare the words on the rice paper, and recited one by one: "Send Li Zhengwei to Dingxiang! The city is supported by the Three Qins, and the wind and smoke are looking at the five capitals. I am a farewell to you, and I am a traveler. There are confidants in the sea, and the world is like neighbors. Inaction is on the road, and children are wet together!"

When he read the title of the poem, Li Siwen still had a joking smile on his face, but when Li Mu read the main text, Li Siwen was already seriously sarcastic. When he said "There are friends in the sea, and the world is like neighbors" he almost shed tears again. When he heard that "inaction is on the wrong path, children are wet together", he tried hard to hold back and did not let the tears fall.

Li Siwen blew the ink dry, carefully folded the rice paper, put it in his arms, and said to Li Mu: "Brother, I will definitely put this poem in the study and encourage me at all times. When we meet again, I will definitely live up to my brother's expectations!"

"Let's go, go," Li Mu waved his hand, acted indifferently, and said, "Looking at you, it's just a problem. I won't give you away. Come on, it'll be dark later!"

"Take care of yourself!"

Li Siwen said to Li Mu, then knelt at Li Ji's feet, kowtowed, and said, "You are not a filial child, please take care of your father!"

After saying that, he stood up and strode towards the door. Eunuch Gao bowed to Li Ji, Li Mu and others, and followed him. Li Bi wanted to go and see him off, but Li Ji was held back. He knew that Li Siwen had complained about his father's heart, but this was helpless. He was responsible for a family, and the matter was not clear at the time. If Li Shimin was furious, in order to avoid implicating the entire family, he would have to hand over Li Siwen. Beating him was just a trick.

Li Mu was also very dissatisfied with Li Ji's approach. He was a father and son, so what could he say? After Li Siwen left, he said goodbye and left. Li Ji did not try to keep him, and probably he was not so happy.

Chongrenfang, heaven and earth.

Nazha knelt on the ground, and a eunuch holding an imperial edict stood in front of her.

"... I know the truth, understand the truth, and support the rituals, and be harmonious, and be kind and filial. I immediately restored the identity of the royal family, gave the name Li Yourong, and was granted the title of Princess Huizhu, and had 600 households. The edict was followed by the right, and the master was executed."

After reading the edict, the eunuch quickly helped Nazha up and said diligently: "Congratulations to Princess Huanzhu. Your Majesty also asked the old slave to bring a message. Your Majesty said that the past events have nothing to do with you. If you think he is an uncle, he will regard you as your nephew. The queen also said that if you have time, you can enter the palace to meet. She will personally introduce the clan to you. The old slave has never seen anyone you love so much."

Nazha, no, I have to call him Li Yourong.

Li Yourong took the imperial edict and said to the eunuch who passed the imperial edict: "Please tell me on your behalf, I thank Your Majesty for your grace."

When the imperial edict was over, Xiao Chen was next to him. Seeing that the imperial edict was over, he walked forward with a smile and handed over a piece of silver hidden in his sleeve. This imperial edict was also known to Xiao Chen when he was in the palace, so he was not willing to ask for it. But Xiao Chen insisted on giving it to him, and pretended to refuse twice, so he accepted it.

Usually, Eunuch Gao, the eunuch in charge, is here. People like him have little chance of leaving the palace to pass the imperial edict, so there is not much oil and water. This piece of silver is considered a considerable investment for him.

Li Yourong sent the eunuch to the door but did not dare to step out. He hesitated and asked, "Can you ask, this father-in-law, if there is any decree in the palace to Li Siwen, the son of General Li Ji?"

When the father-in-law was given the reward, he naturally knew everything and said, "I really know about this. I came out with Eunuch Gao to pass the imperial edict. Eunuch Gao went to the Duke Cao's mansion. After hearing this, the old man seemed to be asking Li Siwen to leave the capital immediately. I don't know why. Look at this time, I must have set off. Why, Princess, do you recognize him?"

"Ah," Li Yourong's expression froze, and he said, "It's an old friend."

The father-in-law sent the imperial decree to the carriage and left without asking much questions.

Turning back to the lobby on the first floor, Eunuch Chen also congratulated: "Princess, now that he has restored his clan status, he has to forget about his thoughts. The Supreme Emperor will be happy for the princess."

Li Yourong seemed a little depressed. Just as Xiao Chen asked, Li Yuan came down from the private room on the second floor and said, "Child, are you feeling irresistible to your uncle?"

Li Yourong quickly shook his head and said, "My father treats me and my mother badly. He sent us to the Turks. After suffering countless hardships, I only hate my father. But my uncle treats me very well. Not only does he save my life, he also grants me the title of princess, allowing me to enjoy my identity and fief. How could I hold a grudge against him? It's just..."

Li Yourong sighed and said, "Grandpa Emperor, I deceived Li Siwen in order to come to Chang'an to avenge him. Now that he is blamed by his uncle, he ordered to leave Chang'an immediately, but I can't send him a ride. I apologize in person, and feel guilty and uneasy."

Li Yuan said, "Since that's the case, go and meet." As he said that, he ordered Eunuch Chen and said, "Chen Guan, go and arrange a carriage and send Yourong to see Li Siwen."

Li Yourong hurriedly said, "Grandpa, there is no need to be in vain. Uncle will not allow me to leave heaven and earth."

Li Yuan frowned and said, "He even gave you the princess, how could he ban you? Who said this? The one who sent the order just now said?"

Li Yourong shook his head and said, "It was told by Zhuluhou."

Li Yuan laughed and said, "It must be that kid who lied to you. He angered you to deceive his brother and deliberately prank you. Don't take it seriously, go and meet him, and you always care about it."

When Li Yourong heard this, he realized that he had been deceived by Li Mu. He was resentful, but he didn't have time to think about it carefully. He quickly got on the carriage and headed straight to Yanping Gate. Yanping Gate is the west gate of Chang'an, and Dingxiang is in the west, so he usually walks through this gate.

The carriage was moving very fast, and in less than half an hour, it had already arrived at Yanping Gate. As soon as he left the city gate, he happened to meet Eunuch Gao and his party who were returning to the palace. When the two groups met, they realized that Li Siwen had gone far away.

Li Yourong lifted the curtain of the carriage, stared at the burning clouds in the west, and said nothing for a long time. After a while, he spoke to Eunuch Chen, "It seems that he has no chance... Let's go back."

"promise."
