"I can't explain this feeling clearly." Li Shimin pursed his lips and said a little distressedly: "This kid Li Mu is not only unexpected, but also--" Li Shimin wondered: "Empress, don't you think that Li Mu's work, even if it's impossible, will eventually be done."

Empress Changsun frowned: "What does Your Majesty mean?"

Li Shimin frowned and said, "I can't understand why there are many things that I can't imagine, and Li Mu can do it. When I talked to Yuan Tiangang about Li Mu, Yuan Tiangang once said that he had divined Li Mu many times, but he couldn't see through his hexagrams. This is almost impossible, but it happened to Li Mu."

"Also," Li Shimin paused for a moment and sighed: "Yuan Tiangang has also talked to me about the way of luck, and I also think it makes sense."

Empress Changsun showed a worried look and said, "Your Majesty, Yuan Tiangang is—"

"Empress, I know what you are worried about." Li Shimin smiled and said, "I will never reach the level of 'demonic way of ruining the country'. Yuan Tiangang is not that kind of person. His hexagram is quite accurate. Listen to what Yuan Tiangang said - he told me that if the heroes in the world want to accomplish things, the right time, place, and people have their own functions, but the most important thing is luck. For example, my Li family raised an army in Jinyang. At that time, the Li family did not have an advantage among all the anti-kings, but why did the Li family seize the world in the end? This is the relationship between luck."

"When luck is in one's body, you can win a battle that cannot be won. When luck is not there, you can win a battle that is firmly won. When luck is in one's body, you can avoid the rain of arrows. When luck is not there, a cold arrow can shoot the main general among all troops."

"So I was thinking that he could do whatever Li Mu did now, and he could do the impossible things. After I ascended the throne, I was repeatedly constrained when doing things. Could it be that my luck was no longer on me, but on Li Mu?"

"I am the emperor and call him the emperor. Logically speaking, I should be a person with luck. But if Li Mu's luck surpasses me, maybe God is telling me that I am no longer the one who is destined to be. If the person who is destined to be has become Li Mu, he is the son of God!"

"It is also because of this little worry in my heart that I feel a little scared of Li Mu. So when the auxiliary machine does these things, I subconsciously agree in my heart. Maybe I want to do this too. I want to eliminate hidden dangers in advance?" Li Shimin smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know anymore."

Li Shimin sighed and said, "I think about these things now, it's really a bit unlucky, unlike the way an emperor should do. I'm not such a person, but why, when I face Li Mu, I'm so afraid of it? Am I really an emperor who can't tolerate others?"

He looked at his hand again and said, "How crazy is Li Mu. In front of me, he drew his sword and pointed it at the auxiliary machine, forcing me to stop him - I gave him Shangfang sword, but he dared to use it to hurt me, and he said that you can drink it with the golden cup, and the blades will not be spared. His blades will even drink my blood. Tell me, can I not be afraid of such a person?"

When Li Shimin said this, he wanted to get some recognition from Empress Changsun, but contrary to what he thought, Empress Changsun smiled. Li Shimin was a little confused and said anxiously: "Empress, do you think I'm wrong?"

"Your Majesty, when I heard this, I had another thought." Empress Changsun looked at Li Shimin and said seriously: "Your Majesty has never thought about it. Is this what Li Mu said to Your Majesty?"

"Of course he said it to me, he hurt me!"

Empress Changsun shook her head and said, "What I mean is that he is saying that Your Majesty is treating him, and you drink with you in a golden cup, and your hands will not be spared!"

"I'm treating him?" Li Shimin was a little confused, as if he understood something, but he didn't seem to have caught anything. Empress Changsun further explained: "Your Majesty think about it, did you 'd drink with you with golden cups' when you treated Li Mu before? But this time, how could Your Majesty spare him? Li Mu was mocking Your Majesty. No matter how profound the so-called saint's family is, when Your Majesty changes his mind, he will not spare him when he puts his sword on his body."

"As for hurting Your Majesty!" Empress Changsun paused for a moment, but still did not tactfully, saying, "I think Your Majesty is not bad, Li Mu should have done it on purpose. He wanted to tell Your Majesty how sad he was this time. He wanted to tell Your Majesty that he is not the kind of minister who can be flattened and round at will, and Your Majesty should not treat him like that. If Your Majesty hurts him again, he will not be silent anymore and will give Your Majesty a certain counterattack - this meaning should not be wrong."

"What does he want to do?"

"How can I know how to go?" Empress Changsun gave Li Shimin a blank look and said, "I just know that if Li Mu had a rebellious intention, he would not be so obvious. Your Majesty does not have to worry about Li Mu's loyalty. He will not rebel unless Your Majesty forces him like this time."

"Why is the queen so sure?"

Queen Changsun asked replies without answering: "Can Your Majesty imagine Li Mu sitting on the dragon throne in a dragon robe?"

"This..." Li Shimin imagined it and quickly swept the picture out of his mind. It was really inappropriate. If Li Mu became the emperor, he would be the most careless emperor, no doubt. Even the foolish monarchs in all dynasties had the demeanor of emperors. Is Li Mu's demeanor? Standing on the city wall to sprinkle coins?

After talking here, I basically finished talking. Empress Changsun knew that Li Shimin had a lot of things to think about, so she stepped down and left. After leaving Tai Chi Palace, Empress Changsun asked the female official around her and said, "Brother and Li Mu made a bet, and he lost 100,000 yuan. Can he pay?"

"I gave it, but Li Mu didn't want it, saying it was donated to the Sales Bureau."

"Yeah—" Empress Changsun nodded and asked nothing more. The group walked towards Lizheng Hall.

...

With Li Mu's departure, Chang'an City returned to peace again. There are new editions of the Tang Dynasty Daily every day, and the new headlines have thrown away the old headlines. There are always new things happening every day. People will soon forget, and life will still be as usual.

But for the family and nobles, life is not what they do as usual. Wang Gui from the Wang family of Taiyuan, one of the leaders of the family, was dismissed from office by Li Shimin. He lost the important power of the disciples. In terms of the nobles, Changsun Wuji's "sick leave" also made the nobles temporarily lose the fat piece of the Ministry of Personnel. It was not as convenient as before to install some officials.

Everyone suddenly realized that there was no winner this time. Li Shimin was the banker and killed him! Whether it was a family or a nobleman, they all became Li Mu's "burial objects". Li Mu used his escape from Luoyang to win a great victory in the imperial power.

As a result, many people began to conspire and theories. From beginning to end, was this plan decided by Li Mu and His Majesty? The purpose was to suppress the family and nobles? If you think so, it seems that it is not impossible.

However, although I thought so in my heart, the lessons from the past are not far away, and there are still no one who dares to discuss publicly. Private discussions cannot be put on the table and have not caused waves.

During this period when "the dragons have no heads", there was a rare long-lost peace in the court. All forces no longer attacked each other, but did their own jobs, for fear that Li Shimin would be caught in the braid again.

The day after Li Mu left, Tang Jian also set out to Shuzhou to take office. Tang Jian was an official in the court for many years and has always been a good man. He also has a government office like the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He has a very good relationship with him, both a clan and a noble family. Although Tang Jian seemed to have been demoted this time, he was in the heart of the emperor and might come back one day. In addition, the Tang family has a huge power, so there is no one who dares to laugh at him.

There were many people seeing off, but when they saw Sun's carriage, they could not help but point fingers. Sun's occasionally heard a few words, and felt even more guilty, so Tang Jian comforted her. Tang Guan felt a little envious in his heart when he was old. It is indeed rare to have such a relationship.

Three days after Tang Jian left, Li Xiaogong also went to Dingxiang to serve as a vassal. Originally, the Dingxiang Protectorate Mansion did not have the qualifications to set up a vassal, because Li Xiaogong was a prince, and his specifications were there. If he was used, whether it was considered qualifications or identity, he must be a vassal. If one word of big is added, the grade will be different. The vassal is the third rank, while the vassal is the second rank. Among the generals, this is the highest rank, and only Li Jing, who is now the right vassal of Shangshu, is compared with him.

However, Li Jing had been a subordinate of Li Xiaogong before, and Li Jing would never dare to compare with Li Xiaogong in terms of qualifications. Apart from the Tiance General Li Shimin, it was not an exaggeration to say that Li Xiaogong was the first person in the dynasty.

Li Chongyi failed to go with Li Xiaogong, but entered Chongwenguan to accompany the prince to study. This is also the right thing in the title. When the general leads his troops, he must keep his eldest son as a hostage. Not only Li Xiaogong, but also Li Ji. If Li Xiaogong must bring Li Chongyi with him, even if he has no antonyms, someone will be able to participate in his book.

This was all news from ten days ago. When Li Mu received these news, he had already arrived in Luoyang, but his current situation was a little bad.

...

Chang'an is not far from Luoyang, but the road is a bit tortuous. You have to pass Sanmenxia by water and take land by land, and the road conditions are not very good. This is why the grain prices in Chang'an City have always been high. The transportation of grain is from downstream to upstream, and boating against the current. Many sections of the road rely on boaters. The transportation cost increases and is shared on grain, so the grain price will naturally be higher.

But Luoyang has no problem. There is a saying in the West that all roads lead to Rome, which is also very suitable for Luoyang. All roads lead to Luoyang, and from any place, you can reach Luoyang, whether by water or by land. This has led to a huge defect in Luoyang, which is that it is difficult to defend. Therefore, throughout history, the dynasties that have established the capital Chang'an were always longer than those that have established the capital Luoyang.

Li Mu always had a beautiful imagination about Luoyang. Because he had been to Luoyang in his previous life, there were peony in Luoyang. When he thought of peony, he thought of Wang Ou. Looking at the Tao Biao stone in the system, Pangda should be in Luoyang. Along the way, Li Mu kept thinking about what he should do.

Last time in Dingxiang, because of Jin Chen's relationship, Wang Ou left in anger before he met. Li Mu thought that he would never meet Jin Chen again, so he was not very worried about Wang Ou's side. He always thought that he would meet him. It might be fine if he coaxed him well. But this time Jin Chen died for him, and his affection did not allow Li Mu to hide anymore. He had to be responsible and take Jin Chen with him. But in this case, how would Wang Ou explain? He was really not sure whether the two women would fight.

Now Wang Ou has his flesh and blood in his belly. If he gets angry and hurts the child, he really doesn't know what to do then. For the sake of this, it's best to let the two of you not meet, but what should I say? Jin Chen has been a little stuck in him these days. It's better to be in front of Qiaoqiao. When he doesn't want to hold his arm and not let go, it's really clingy.

Li Mu felt guilty because of Jin Chen's replacing death, but this did not mean that he could accept Jin Chen because of this. He just felt that he had an obligation to take on the responsibility of a man. Moreover, he also knew that Bai Qiaoqiao had always been worried about Jin Chen's kidnapping. He also had to consider what Bai Qiaoqiao thought about whether he was with Jin Chen. If Bai Qiaoqiao could not get over it, he would never let Jin Chen enter. Fortunately, Bai Qiaoqiao's personality is gentle and his ears are still soft. After the replacing death, Bai Qiaoqiao's attitude towards Jin Chen was also eased, otherwise Li Mu would have been stuck in the middle and was not a human being.

But even so, it was not time to speak out. Li Mu thought not to be so anxious and settled down first. So after arriving in Luoyang, Li Mu thought of buying a house to settle down first, but when he started, he found that in the huge Luoyang City, there was no one who was willing to sell it to his house!
