Li Mu stayed bored in the side hall for an afternoon. In the evening, Li Shimin finally sent someone to call him. Li Mu followed Li Shimin and Empress Changsun to pay tribute to Li Yuan.

It is said that it is a greeting, but it is actually a dinner with you. This is also an item included in the "filial piety". Not only emperors, but ordinary people also have to have dinner with their parents from time to time. However, this situation is rare for emperors. Generally, the new emperor ascended the throne and his father was basically dead. This was an accident between Li Yuan and his son.

It was originally a family matter, but Li Mu, an outsider, seemed a little awkward. But Li Yuan was very happy and asked the eunuch to bring Li Mu's seat over and beside him. In this way, Li Shimin and his wife sat down at the bottom, and Li Mu seemed to be the master here.

Li Mu was sitting on pins and needles, but Li Yuan was the largest here. Li Shimin did not dare to offend his father for such a small matter, so he had to pretend that he had not seen it. The seats were set and the dishes were served. The Tang Dynasty was divided into separate meals, not only divided meals, but also divided tables. There was a small table in front of everyone, eating their own food. Soon, the dishes were served. Li Mu looked carefully and found that there were only four dishes, which was no different from the food in the Duke of Cao's Mansion. It seemed that Li Siwen was right. The treasury in the palace was not very abundant, otherwise how could the food of the Supreme Emperor be so simple?

Li Mu didn't know the details, but Li Shimin knew it. Li Yuan had a banquet every day. At the banquet, even the eunuch who played the ministers would eat better than the food in front of him. Today is so simple, either because of anything else or because he came. This move was intended to show that I don't like your son and don't agree to my request, this is the treatment!

Li Shimin is also an individual, and he is not an ordinary person. He is now the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Looking at the world, who dares to treat him so slowly, only Li Yuan can do such a thing. Moreover, Li Shimin hasn't helped him, so he can't be angry with his father because of this. If it spreads, it would be embarrassing to him.

Li Mu had never eaten in the palace, and didn't know the rules, so he didn't dare to get on his chopsticks for a long time. He was really hungry. He ate a few pastries at noon. For his age, he was completely better than nothing. He was as hungry as he was, but he couldn't eat them in front of the food, so he felt so uncomfortable. Li Yuan saw it and said, "Li Mu, eat it if you want, I have the final say here."

Li Mu was happy. As soon as he picked up the chopsticks, he heard Li Yuan say again: "Oh! The world is so great, the place where I can decide now is in this hall. After leaving this hall gate, I am afraid no one will listen to what I say!"

Even if you don’t have deaf ears, you can hear the implicit meaning of this sentence. Li Shimin touched his nose and said, “Father, you are so old, why do you have to be a businessman? If your son doesn’t serve him well, he will change immediately, but he is a businessman…”

Li Yuan did not answer this and continued to say to Li Mu: "Li Mu, you are still young, and you still don't understand this person's unpredictable heart. Can people do whatever they want? When I was the emperor, I couldn't do everything as I wish. Now I am the emperor. If I want to do something, it depends on the expressions of others. I am so old and have never done business in my life, so I have a lot of thoughts. But some people, I am afraid that they will have another association in their heads. He must be worried that I will leave the palace. If I contact several generals again and cause his rebellion, he will not think about who gave the throne to him..."

Li Mu was sweating coldly behind his back as he heard these words, and he didn't dare to move. He glanced at Li Shimin secretly and saw that he was not going well. The sweat beads on his forehead were about to fall into the soup bowl in front of him.

Li Shimin finally gave up his resistance and said, "I agree! Father, I agree!"

Li Yuan stopped thinking, looked at Li Shimin and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Take it serious?"

Li Shimin nodded like pounding garlic and said, "Take it seriously, but..."

"And but?"

"Father, after listening to me, you will finish listening to me first." Li Shimin was afraid of Li Yuan and quickly said: "Father is already this old. It is said that people are not good at old age. Although my son has never done business, he has heard of it. Doing business is not a simple thing, and it is hard work. If the father does business alone, his son will never agree to it."

"Who said I plan to do business alone?" Li Yuan pointed to Li Mu's nose and said, "I work with this kid, he is very smart, I am optimistic about him!"

Li Shimin glanced at Li Mu and said helplessly: "My son also thinks so. Since the idea was made by Zhulu Hou, let him help his father. In addition..."

Li Yuan said unhappily: "There is still?!"

"For the last request, the son must say that the father must agree, and the son also agrees. If the father does not agree, even if the son bears the infatuation of unfilial piety, he will never agree."

Li Yuan knew his son's temper. Seeing that he had said such words, he knew that there would be no result if he continued to force him, and said, "You say!"

Li Shimin sighed and said, "My son wants... If the father really wants to do business, it is better to hide his identity. Otherwise, if the people in the world know that the Emperor is going to be a businessman, I don't know how big a mess will happen. The son's reputation is put aside for the time being, it will definitely have a great impact on your reputation. Father, what do you think?"

Li Yuan frowned and was about to speak, but Li Mu, who had been by the side, suddenly spoke, saying, "Grand Emperor, Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say anything or not."

Li Yuan glanced at him and said, "Tell me!"

Li Mu handed Li Shimin a look of peace of mind and said to Li Yuan: "The Supreme Emperor, I think Your Majesty is right. If you have a reputation but not a reputation, let's put it aside. Just talk about this business. If you know that you are the Supreme Emperor, who dares to do business with you? How can you ask for the same goods? If you want less, you will lose money. If you want more, you will offend the Supreme Emperor, do you still want your head? If you reveal your identity and do business, you will definitely not be able to continue doing this business, and your idea of ​​becoming a businessman will not be realized."

When Li Shimin heard this, he quickly said, "What Zhulu Hou said is so true, so he should hide his identity."

Li Yuan thought for a while and felt it was reasonable and said, "Since you all said that, it's okay to hide your identity, but you must have an identity. What identity do you think is suitable?"

Li Shimin looked at Li Mu, and Li Mu thought for a while and said, "I heard that there are thirteen hopes in the Longxi Li family, and the family branches are complicated. It is better to call it the Longxi Li family to the outside world, but if you don't explain it clearly, you will definitely not guess anything. Who would have thought that the master behind this transaction would be the Supreme Emperor?"

"Okay!" Li Yuan clapped and said, "As you said, when you do business in the future, I will be Li Ka-shing, Longxi!"

When Li Mu heard this name, he didn't breathe a sigh of relief and almost suffocated himself to death. He asked carefully: "Grand Emperor, why did you choose this name?"

Li Yuan said: "Goodness is beauty, kindness. Sincerity is trustworthy, it is the foundation of business. Since I want to be a businessman, I should take it with it with integrity. Is there anything wrong with naming Jiacheng?"

"Uh..." Li Mu could not refute and nodded: "Okay! That's great! The boy is so ignorant and didn't think so deeply."
