Chapter 65: Conferring meritorious deeds (1)
Li Mu thought that Li Shimin would pass on him, but he didn't expect that he would pass on him so quickly. It seems that this emperor is also a human being, and he is not reserved when facing what he cares about. On the way from crossing the courtyard to the main gate, Li Bi hurriedly told him some rules in the palace, but Li Mu didn't remember them much. But it doesn't matter. This time, as long as he handed over the jade seal to Li Shimin, he would definitely be very happy. No one would care about the rules or irregularities.
When he arrived at the gate, Li Mu was also frightened by the scene. The gate was covered with people, and they were armored imperial guards. No wonder Li Bi's tone was a little panicked just now. Everyone was going to search the house. From this we can see that Li Ji did not tell Li Bi about the imperial seal, and even his brothers were reserved. Li Mu had a new understanding of Li Ji's prudence.
In the Tai Chi Hall, the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan sat upright in the middle, Li Shimin was with him, standing with Li Ji in the left hand and Changsun Wuji in the right hand. There was another person behind him, which was Shangshu Zuo Pushe Fang Xuanling. More than a month ago, Li Shimin began to suffer from insomnia when he learned that he had found the imperial seal in Dingxiang. He asked where Li Ji was going every day. It was not that he had thought of sending someone to directly take the imperial seal, but he was worried that there would be another problem on the way, and he was afraid that the hearts of those who made meritorious deeds would be cold. He was entangled.
Still didn't do that. When Li Ji entered the palace to meet the saint, Li Shimin was talking about the floods of the Yellow River with Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling. He thought Li Ji would come with the imperial seal, but he didn't expect Li Ji to have no hands at all. Then he issued an order to let Li Mu enter the palace to meet him. He was originally planning to meet in the East Palace, but Changsun Wuji reminded him that there was an emperor in Taiji Temple, and the emperor had also sent a message to the world. Only then did Li Shimin remembered this and changed the meeting place to Taiji Temple.
Li Shimin has become emperor now, and the jade seal of the kingdom has no effect on his rule in essence. However, because he has been criticized for his incorrect origin, he urgently needs the unique meaning of the jade seal of the kingdom to correct his reputation. But the fundamental reason lies in Li Yuan's attitude. Moreover, Li Yuan is now the Supreme Emperor, and it is useless to preach the jade seal of the kingdom. If he can use this to please him, why not do it?
"Report to the Supreme Emperor, Your Majesty, and Li Mu waited for the order outside the palace."
Li Shimin carefully glanced at his father and said, "Xuan."
"Xuan Li Mu went to the palace to meet him!"
Li Mu heard the sound outside the hall gate and raised his legs and was about to go in. Eunuch Gao reached out and stopped him, and whispered: "When you go in, worship the Supreme Emperor first, do you understand?"
"Ah! Thank you, my father-in-law." Li Mu responded and followed the eunuch into the hall. Li Bi had already told him the rules of meeting, but Li Mu had almost forgotten it because he was a little nervous. All he could remember was the same trick in the TV series. In desperation, he didn't care about so much. He knelt down on the ground and shouted: "Long live the Supreme Emperor, long live the Emperor!"
After shouting, no one responded, and he didn't dare to look up. He glanced at the corner of his eyes. There was one person on the left and two people on the right. There was no way to see Li Shimin in front. Isn't Li Shimin here?
The king and ministers in the palace were not unanswering, but were a little stunned. Although the title of Long Sui has existed in ancient times, it is usually used to describe gods and is not commonly used for people. The title of "Long Sui" is unprecedented. No one has ever shouted this before. The ancients feared gods, Long Sui had compared people to gods. Wouldn't it be beyond gods? The atmosphere in the Tang Dynasty was not as good as the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the emperor was not so shameless. When he heard Li Mu's name, whether it was Li Yuan or Li Shimin, he felt not pleasure, but a little embarrassed, so no one responded for a long time.
Li Shimin was embarrassed to admit that he was Wan Live, so he coughed lightly and said, "Are you Li Mu?"
"Ah, Caomin Li Mu!"
"Get up and answer."
Li Mu stood up as he spoke. Li Shimin looked at him carefully. He thought that a person who could say such a explicit flattery would be a cunning person. But seeing Li Mu's eyes are pretty and clear, he had nothing to do with the cunning, and he became curious and asked, "Why are you calling me and the Supreme Emperor? Don't you know that this is an analogy to the gods?"
Li Mu's heart sank. It turned out that he had taken a horse's hoof. The TV series misled me! He quickly went back to find a supplement and said, "Your Majesty, this is the heartfelt words of the people. The people's livelihood is in the border city of Mayi. As soon as he was born, his father died in the battlefield. This kind of encounter is not me. The Turks plunder every year, and the people in the border city suffer so much that they are looking forward to the arrival of heavenly soldiers day and night. This time, Your Majesty pacified the Turks and prevented the people in the border city from being plundered. In the hearts of the people in the border city, Your Majesty is no different from the gods."
After saying that, Li Mu's heart was also turbulent. The last time he flattered so against his will was when he treated Party B's customers in his previous life. However, when he thought about the first shot in the Tang Dynasty, he was worthy of this job. Thinking about it this way, he felt relieved.
This correct answer hit Li Shimin's mind. As an emperor, he is rich, power and profit, but he is not what he cares about the most. Only this people's hearts and reputation can truly impress him. Li Mu gave a reasonable explanation. This title of "Long Live" was called, and Li Shimin took the assumption and made a decision. Looking at Li Mu's eyes again, he became much more intimate.
"I heard that you killed Princess Yicheng and got the imperial seal. Where is the imperial seal now?"
"Here." Li Mu hurriedly untied his robe. At this time, no one would say that he had lost his manners in front of the palace. Li Mu took out the brocade box, Eunuch Gao took it and handed it to Li Shimin. Li Shimin did not open it and placed it directly in front of Li Yuan: "Father, please take a look first."
Li Yuan opened the brocade box, took out the jade seal of the Kingdom and looked carefully, and nodded slightly. Li Yuan was originally a noble relative of the Sui Dynasty and was cousin of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui. Li Yuan had seen the jade seal of the Kingdom and could see it at a glance whether it was true or false.
Seeing that Li Yuan identified it as true, Li Shimin had no doubt about the authenticity of the imperial seal. He looked at Li Mu and said with a smile: "I received a copy from Duke Wei earlier, mentioning a righteous man who escaped from the camp to deliver a letter. Is this person you?"
"Report to Your Majesty, it was done by the Cao people." Li Mu said: "Your Majesty, although this matter was done by the Cao people, he did not dare to take it as a righteous man. At that time, Cao people were really worried about his mother at home, and he had the intention to escape the camp, not just to send a letter. Therefore, Cao people did not dare to take this credit."
