Li Shimin was so happy that he didn't raise his head, saying, "I just want a few people, can I not agree to him?"

"Your Majesty." Changsun Wuji wanted to open his mouth, but hesitated again. He wandered for a while, lowered his head to continue the memorial, and did not express any comments.

After Li Shimin finished writing the letter, he handed it to Eunuch Gao and asked him to send it out before the palace gate was locked. When he looked at Changsun Wuji, he showed a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

This is the scene he wanted, and it is also the reason why he has been suppressing Changsun Wuji.

Li Shimin is an emperor, and the essence of the art of emperors is control and balance. The so-called control means that the ruler controls the ministers, not the ministers control the king. But when the power of the minister reaches a certain level, he will inevitably offend the imperial power. Being arrogant and proud of his merits and prides himself is the same. No matter what starting point is, selfishness or loyalty, the ministers threaten the king with certain conditions, it is unacceptable for the king to come.

The so-called self-decision of the Gangang means that the only one in the world is the only one who is respected. Those who are ministers should follow their duties.

Li Shimin knew about Changsun Wuji's selfishness and loyalty. Li Shimin was not angry at Li Mu, but he could not accept Changsun Wuji's reliance on his identity and contributions to force him to make a choice. In the past, Changsun Wuji did not have this measure, which made him very angry, but now he understands it.

"Auxiliary machine, you have rested for a long time. The affairs of the Ministry of Personnel are piled up like mountains, so you should not slackewer any longer."

Changsun Wuji was lifting his pen to write. When he heard this, his wrist trembled, and the ink dripped on the paper, splashing a small piece. Changsun Wuji put the pen down, stood up and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, I still need to recuperate. For the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel, I would like to choose another talent. I hope to continue to share your worries with Your Majesty as I am now, and I dare not slackew at all. It's just that I don't want to involve things in the court-"

After pausing, Changsun Wuji said again, "The Queen is the same. A few days ago, she sent someone to send her home."

Li Shimin came over and helped Changsun Wuji up and said, "Assistant, why do you and me say such an angry words? How many people can I really trust in the court? The Ministry of Personnel is the head of the six ministries and is in charge of the promotion and dispatch of officials. How can I leave it to others with confidence? You and I have been in the past so many years, and you should know that in my heart, you are like my brothers. What kind of grievances can you not be able to pass?"

Changsun Wuji heard the word "brother". Even though he knew in his heart that it was the most ruthless imperial family. Being the emperor's brother might not be a happy thing, but when he heard this, he was still infinitely moved. However, when he thought of his own sister's attitude, he felt infinite sourness and bowed again and said, "Your Majesty, the queen..."

"I'll go and say, you don't have to pay attention." Li Shimin waved his hand and looked like he was holding a big bag. He pulled Changsun Wuji to sit down and said, "Li Mu, I can't help it. This kid is a good mess. Staying in the court is also a disaster, so I threw him to Luoyang. In the future, Chang'an will be quiet. We will do whatever we should do."

Changsun Wuji understood what Li Shimin meant. He wanted to say that everything was the same as before in the court, and Li Mu made him a self-made faction. But this self-made faction was definitely not a self-destruction. The saying "It's impossible not to be ignored" has already been said very clearly.

Changsun Wuji asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, will the Ministry of Personnel still keep files for Li Mu's official appointment and removal from the future?"

"No need, I will deal with Li Mu's affairs personally. I will not let him mess with you or be at ease."

Changsun Wuji bowed and said, "I understand."

Changsun Wuji sighed in his heart, things still developed like a situation he did not expect. Li Shimin threw Li Mu to Luoyang, saying it sounds nice, afraid that he would disturb the court. But from another perspective, what is this not indulgence? The Ministry of Personnel is the Ministry of Personnel of the Tang Dynasty, which is in charge of the promotion and dispatch of officials in the entire country, but cannot control Li Mu. Isn’t this equivalent to admitting that Li Mu is already independent of the court, and his Luoyang city has become a country among the country?

Changsun Wuji really couldn't understand what kind of virtue Li Mu could have been so favored by Li Shimin.

"After the New Year, I plan to live in Luoyang for a few months." Li Shimin picked up a memorial and said casually. Changsun Wuji was shocked when he heard this. He thought of an extremely terrible possibility. Could it be that His Majesty sent Li Mu to Luoyang to prepare for the capital? What they conspired to move the capital?

This is not a trivial matter! It has never been a trivial matter!

When the Turks came, Li Jiancheng said that he would move the capital to abandon Chang'an City. It was not entirely because Li Jiancheng was timid and dared not fight against the Turks. Li Jiancheng was also a hero who pacified Shandong heroes and fought on the battlefield. Although his military achievements were not as significant as Li Shimin, as the prince and later prince, he should not have charged forward, which could not be a handle to criticize him. At that time, he wanted to move the capital, and another important reason was that after moving the capital to Luoyang, he could have a closer connection with the Shandong gentry, making his position as the prince more stable.

Although Li Shimin was in Luoyang, Luoyang City has always been the power of Li Jiancheng. Before the rebellion, he had been operating in Luoyang City for many years and had a huge force. After conquering Miss Lu, Luoyang City was controlled by him from top to bottom. This is also the main reason why Miss Lu regarded Luoyang City as the base camp of Jisitang after Li Jiancheng's death. This is also the reason why Miss Lu was not nervous and worried at all when facing Li Mu. Luoyang City was closely related to Jisitang and Li Jiancheng, and had long been inseparable from Li Shimin when he was in Luoyang. When Li Shimin was in Luoyang, he was constrained everywhere. How big a storm can Li Mu cause at such a young age?

In Miss Lu's eyes, she did not regard Li Mu as an opponent. She was just a pretty good young man, surpassing Junyan from an ordinary family, but that was it. A large part of Miss Lu's concern for Li Mu was derived from the relationship between Wang Ou and him. If she had no such relationship, she might not have wasted so much energy on him.

Li Shimin tried his best to persuade him to stay in Chang'an City, which was exactly the same as Li Jiancheng's idea.

Although Li Shimin opened his palace in Luoyang City, his foundation was actually in Chang'an City. The so-called old generals of the Qin Palace were mostly from Longyou. The elite soldiers under his command were also from Longxi and Guanzhong. Therefore, Chang'an City was his foundation. He could only rely on these people to stay in Chang'an City to protect their interests and foundations, so that these people could be used by him.

Li Yuan deliberately switched the two brothers to the "base camp" which was also a technique of balance between emperors. He had no problem at all, but something went wrong during practice.

The foundation of the Changsun clan is also in Chang'an. If Li Shimin moved the capital, all officials would have to follow him. In Luoyang City, the Changsun clan only had one house with no foundation. It can be said that when he arrived in Luoyang, the two Changsun clans were tied together, not necessarily half of the Boling Cui clan. This is not a gap that he could make up for as the Minister of Personnel, or the emperor's brother-in-law. After all, the Changsun clan was not alone, Changsun Wuji, and this family, with hundreds of people, did not rely on him as the Shang's salary. The family's industry and foundation were all in Chang'an. When he really arrived in Luoyang, who would be happy to grab food from whom?

Changsun Wuji thought of the possible consequences and did not care about the tactfulness, and hurriedly asked, "Does Your Majesty plan to move the capital?"

Li Shimin was not surprised that Minister Sun Wuji asked this question, saying, "I have never thought about moving the capital. But I want to follow the previous dynasty, set up a sub-capital capital in Luoyang, and implement the two capital system. But the time is not yet available, so how has Li Mu done this year."

Li Shimin smiled and said, "It is natural that he can do well. If he doesn't do well, it won't affect anything. When I go to Luoyang next year, I will ask the prince to supervise the country and you will assist him. It's time for him to perform the ceremony next year, and it's time to experience it."

Hearing these words, Changsun Wuji felt relieved. He said "No" and sat down again.

Li Shimin's words convey a lot of meaning.

First of all, what can relieve his worries is that Li Shimin has no intention of moving the capital. In other words, the foundation of the Changsun clan will not be shaken, and there is no need to go to Luoyang to compete with the clans for food. Another time, he heard from Li Shimin that he wanted to follow the previous dynasty and implement the two capital system.

The two capital system is not new, and even in China's history, it took longer than a single capital. Emperor Yan's capital Chen, but he was not allowed to camp Qufu, Emperor Huang lived in Xuanyuan Hill, but he set up Zhulu. The capital of Dayu of the Xia Dynasty was Yangcheng, but he set up another capital of Anyi. In the early Shang Dynasty, there were three Bos, and the capital of Yin was Yin. In the early Western Zhou Dynasty, Luoyi was established, and Zhou was established as the capital to monitor the old people of the Shang Dynasty.

During the Warring States Period, Yan State established the capital in Wuyang, Zhao State established the Xindu in Yiyang, Wei State used Ye as its sub-capital capital, Qi State had five capitals. Qin and the capital of the Western Han Dynasty were in Chang'an, and the north and south palaces were set up in Luoyang, Xinmang used Chang'an as its western capital, and Luoyang was the eastern capital of Xinshi. Looking back, almost every dynasty was implemented. Even a thousand years later, in the Ming Dynasty, there were two sets of courts in the north and south, and the two capitals were still in the two capitals.

The reason why all dynasties implemented the two capital system was only one, in order to facilitate control of huge territory. In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, so there was a question of "the sky is high and the emperor is far away". Setting up a supporting capital can effectively solve this problem. The supporting capital can supplement the lack of the capital and play an auxiliary role such as echoing, supplementing, and cooperating. Luoyang's geographical and strategic location are very important, and throughout the dynasties, they have been the best choice for the supporting capital.

When Li Shimin did not want to move the capital, it was indeed the best way to set up a two-capital system. The prince supervised the country and revealed a signal that the rumor of Yi Chu was a rumor. At least at this moment, Li Shimin did not have the idea of ​​Yi Chu.

Changsun Wuji's expression suddenly changed. He realized that he had made a big mistake. Before, he met Li Tai and said something he shouldn't have said indirectly, but he didn't know whether these words had reached Li Shimin's ears.

Changsun Wuji was worried and did not dare to ask, and the heart that had just been relieved was raised again.

...

When it was almost time to sleep, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji separated. Li Shimin was going to Queen Changsun to plead for Changsun Wuji, so he would rest in the Lizheng Hall tonight. Li Shimin was not there, so Changsun Wuji certainly could not sleep in Taiji Palace, but he didn't have to worry, and he had his own side hall for him to live in. Changsun Wuji often stayed in the palace, and had already made arrangements and had a small eunuch to serve him.

Li Shimin walked towards Lizheng Hall, and Eunuch Gao followed behind him. Li Shimin suddenly spoke, saying, "Gao Guan, have you seen the appearance of the auxiliary machine today?"

Li Shimin often asked a few questions without any brainstormingly, and Eunuch Gao was used to it. He also understood that Li Shimin was not asking his opinion, but just wanted someone to answer him. What should he decide, and there would not be any change because of what the person who answered the conversation would say.

Eunuch Gao knew Li Shimin's temper well and knew how to answer this, saying, "I saw it, but I don't know what His Majesty is saying?"

"Do you think the auxiliary machine understand what I mean?"

Eunuch Gao knew that Li Shimin had not finished speaking, so he didn't answer this sentence.

"The art of emperors emphasizes balance. Before, the auxiliary machine was the only one in the court, and there was no one in the court. It was not until Li Mu appeared that he made more and more contributions. This balance was maintained. I needed Li Mu to balance the auxiliary machine, and also needed the auxiliary machine to balance Li Mu. Just like I needed nobles to balance the family, and also needed the aristocrats to balance the nobles. The same is true for a noble and poor family. If the world loses balance, trouble will occur." After pausing, Li Shimin asked, "High-ranking officials, do you think I am right?"

"Your Majesty is wise, I don't understand it very much, but I feel that your Majesty is right."

Li Shimin laughed loudly, "I told you what I did. Li Shimin often asks a few questions without thinking. Eunuch Gao is used to it. He also understood that Li Shimin was not asking his opinion, but just wanted someone to answer him. What should he decide, and it would not change because of what the person who answered the conversation would say.

Eunuch Gao knew Li Shimin's temper well and knew how to answer this, saying, "I saw it, but I don't know what His Majesty is saying?"

"Do you think the auxiliary machine understand what I mean?"

Eunuch Gao knew that Li Shimin had not finished speaking, so he didn't answer this sentence.

"The art of emperors emphasizes balance. Before, the auxiliary machine was the only one in the court, and there was no one in the court.

After pausing, Li Shimin asked, "High-ranking officials, do you think I am right?"

"Your Majesty is wise, I don't understand it very much, but I feel that your Majesty is right."

Li Shimin laughed loudly, "I'm talking about these things to you, "Your Majesty is wise, I don't understand very much, but I feel that Your Majesty is right."

Li Shimin laughed, "What do I do to you?
