Chapter 735

The next day.

In the East Palace, Li Mu had just woken up, and Li Chengqian was also confused. The two of them were brushing their teeth with fine salt under the help of the palace servants. Eunuch Gao came at this time and conveyed Li Shimin's meaning.

"The Office of the Interior is responsible? The expenses are also paid from the Office of the Interior?"

Eunuch Gao thought he felt sorry for the money and hurriedly said, "This is a major event for the country, and the Ministry of Rites should also allocate money."

"Okay?" Li Mu rinsed his mouth, spit out water, and chuckled, "Why do I sound so familiar? I should be inaccurate, if not, I just don't give it. This routine is boring." He took the hand towel handed by the palace servant, wiped his mouth, patted Li Chengqian on the shoulder, and said, "Fortunately, I don't have to worry about this matter now. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is under his jurisdiction now. Let me tell the prince if you have any questions."

Li Chengqian was rinsing his mouth, but when he heard this, he almost choked to death, and hurriedly said, "Brother, I can't do it. I have never been to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. How can I take responsibility for the matter of crowning such a big deal?"

Eunuch Gao also said, "Mr. Marquis, this is not a joke, the prince..." Eunuch Gao also wanted to say how the prince could do it, but when he said that he suddenly remembered that this was the prince. He could not say that, and changed his words: "After all, the prince is young and has no experience in many things. The matter of crowning must be controlled by the Marquis himself. Your Majesty also trusts the Marquis, so he will hand over such important tasks to you, Marquis--"

"The father-in-law said this without reason. I am very old when the prince is young? I am only eighteen years old this year, okay? Everything I have done before is the first time. There is only one thing that is hard work, no experience or experience. If experience is wrong, what is the use of more experience?"

"But this..."

"It's nothing, but you didn't say experience? Then let me ask you, anyone who has experience in the Crown Khan before, is the first time everyone has!"

"Oh," Eunuch Gao stomped his feet in a hurry and said, "Marty, our family can't tell you, but this matter, oh, what do you mean by this? Don't make things difficult for Lao Nu, okay?"

"Anyway, I have no longer cared about the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I have agreed with Your Majesty. Your Majesty has also agreed. The emperor's words are so polite, so I can't take back what he said, right? I don't care. If Your Majesty can't trust the prince, then go to the Ministry of Rites. When there was no Ministry of Internal Affairs before, did nothing happen?"

"Oh," Eunuch Gao had no choice but to look at Li Chengqian and said, "Your Highness, please say a few words. This matter is very important, and no one can take responsibility if there is a problem."

Li Chengqian also knew the depth and the matter of crowning the Tian Khan, Yu Zhining had already analyzed the pros and cons with him. For Li Shimin, this matter was no less than the attack and destruction of the Eastern Turks. Only by being recognized by neighboring countries can one show the demeanor of the Celestial Kingdom. This is Li Shimin's "political achievements" as the emperor, and it must be written into official history and celebrated throughout the ages. If this matter is wrong, it is sure that no one involved will be able to take advantage of it.

Li Chengqian came to Li Mu and whispered: "Brother, I really can't do it. If something goes wrong, I can't take it."

Li Mu said with his ears: "As the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, how can you say that you can't do it? You have to do it if you don't. Don't understand this principle?"

"But I really can't do it. Brother, how can I understand this?"

"Don't there be officials in the East Palace? They are all ready to go. Besides, don't you want to be a general? People have to fight for themselves. You just want to be unable to do things, but you have never thought about the benefits that will be brought about by doing things?"

"Benefits?" Li Chengqian was still a child after all, so he thought so deeply. When he heard that there were benefits, he immediately became interested: "What are the benefits?"

"Why are you so stupid?" Li Mu said in a heartache, "For example, you can tell your father that you should not give me rewards, but that you can only be a small patrol in the army, guard the territory and defend your country. When the crowds are the most, you will say in front of the court officials and envoys. Will your father say, "No, son, you have to stay in the Prince Taiping of the East Palace? If he says this, will you still have to face it? Then it must be an agreement. If he agrees, can you make you a small patrol? You are the prince, and at least you must be a lieutenant. At that time, you must lead a thousand or eight hundred people to gallop on the battlefield, cook cattle and slaughter sheep and have fun. You will have to drink three hundred cups of wine. Isn't the taste beautiful? Isn't the barbecue delicious?"

Li Chengqian was fascinated when he heard this, as if he had already smelled the smell of meat. He took a sip and said, "Sweet, smell good, brother, thank you for your advice. Why didn't I expect it before?"

"You are still too young!" Li Mu pulled Li Chengqian over and said with his arms around, "You are the prince, and your identity is noble, but it is because you are too noble, so it is so inconvenient. What you want is constrained everywhere. But it doesn't matter, you think about it yourself, no matter whether it is noble or humble, your status or whatever you want, you have to try your best to fight for. If you don't fight for it, who knows what you want?"

"But if I want it, will the father give it?"

"If you give it or not, it is your father's business. If you fight for it or not, it is your own business. It's different things, it's not up to you." Li Mu said, thinking: "Isn't what your father does just a clear proof? If you don't give it, take it yourself!"

Looking back on the history he learned in high school, Li Chengqian really did this, but whether his Taoism was good or not, and he was defeated in the end. But now, Li Mu showed a meaningful smile.

After Li Mu's brainwashing, Li Chengqian began to imagine the scene of him galloping across the grassland with a thousand cavalry. Although he was still suspicious about whether he could handle this matter, he didn't care much about the interests at present, and immediately said to Li Mu: "Brother, don't worry, I understand, I will try my best to fight!"

As he said that, he turned around and said to Eunuch Gao: "Eunuch Gao, please give back to your father, and I said that I will do my best to do this. If you don't understand, I will ask my elder brother and will definitely live up to my father's expectations."

The prince said this, can Eunuch Gao say that it is not possible? He sighed and stomped his feet and left. He couldn't decide this matter, so he had to report it to Li Shimin first and see what to do in the end.

When he returned to Tai Chi Palace, Li Shimin had just had breakfast. After hearing Eunuch Gao’s reply, Li Shimin smiled but didn’t say much. Eunuch Gao couldn’t figure out what Li Shimin meant, but he was still worried and said, “Your Majesty, is this matter just happening?”

"I will give my country to the prince sooner or later. Since he has the courage to take responsibility, I have nothing to worry about. Go and let the factory guards watch more."

Eunuch Gao was stunned, Li Shimin looked at him and said, "What's wrong?"

Eunuch Gao lowered his head and said softly: "This is the first time that I have heard Your Majesty say, let me stare. Aren't such a thing always left to bad people to do?"

"Bad man-" Li Shimin sighed and said, "Also stared at Yuan Tiangang. I have always felt that he seemed to be targeting Li Mu a little. They have no grudges, why is that?"

"I understand." Eunuch Gao's mouth curled up slightly, turned around and left slowly, but said in his heart, Yuan Tiangang, let you be dying, without His Majesty's trust, can you count for a few days? Can you count for this day?

...

After breakfast, Li Chengqian summoned Yu Zhining. Yu Zhining was surprised when he heard the prince summoned him. He had a real headache with the prince. He didn't see him back to the palace on weekdays, and he couldn't meet him. Within a month, he could see Li Chengqian twice. Even if he met, he couldn't say a few words. It was useless to say anything, because Li Chengqian didn't listen at all.

This is like a teacher facing naughty students. He has all the skills to teach students, but this student just doesn't learn. What if it does? When a teacher in the school meets such a student, he can do something without asking. It's a pity for him to see it, but this student doesn't want to teach. Today, the sun comes out from the west, and the prince actually summoned him. He suddenly remembered that the prince seemed to have returned to the palace yesterday. He returned to the palace yesterday and summoned him today, but he didn't hide. What was going on?

No matter what happened, today the prince must let the prince listen to his "advice" and Yu Zhining touched the book in his sleeve and made up his mind.

Following the little eunuch to Li Chengqian's bedroom. After the little eunuch passed the news, he turned around and left. Yu Zhining came to the door and saluted him with a stern look. Then he respectfully said: "Your Highness, the left concubine Yu Zhining..."

"Come in!" Li Chengqian's voice sounded, interrupting Yu Zhining's words. Yu Zhining frowned slightly, thinking that every time he came, he would set an example and wanted the prince to be polite, but now it seems that there is no use at all. The prince is still the prince, the rude prince!

I have to write a memorial to His Majesty. I must strictly regulate the prince and I cannot let him leave the palace at will.

"Too..." Yu Zhining raised his head and was about to speak, but suddenly he seemed to choke and was completely stunned. No wonder he smelled a fragrance along the way. The scene in front of him was considered to be a solution for him. In the East Palace, there was actually someone barbecuing meat in the Prince's bedroom! It was smoked and fired, which was hindering. This was all a trivial matter. The biggest problem was that the Prince was barbecuing meat!

Gentlemen are far away from the kitchen, let alone the prince?

If you look closely, Yu Zhining is even more fainting! It’s okay for the prince to barbecue, but he is not eating it himself, he is actually serving others! Yu Zhining really wants to ask Li Chengqian, do you know whether you are the prince, what is the prince, the crown prince, the crown prince, how can you be so humble and do such a thing!

Yu Zhining looked at the person who was enjoying the prince's service and feasting. He raised his breath and was about to scold him when he suddenly recognized who this person was, and all the words were choked in his throat.

"Mr. Marquis, you--"

"What's wrong?" Li Mu swallowed the meat in his mouth, ate another piece, and said, "What's wrong with me? I'm hungry. I just didn't like my breakfast just now, so I can't eat some barbecue?"

"Mr. Marquis!" How could Yu Zhining not know Li Mu's deeds and understand that he could not afford to offend him, but as the prince Zuo Shuzi, he felt that he could not be afraid of power, so he still had to say what he should say. He took a deep breath and said solemnly: "There is a saying in the lower official that he must say. Although the Marquis is respectful in his identity and has a high status, he still has different monarchs and ministers, so he still respects himself."

When Li Chengqian heard this, he hurriedly said, "My elder brother and I, regardless of the monarch and minister."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince!" Yu Zhining said seriously: "You are the crown prince, the crown prince of the country. The crown prince is also the lord, and the marquis is a minister. There is a difference between the monarch and the minister, and the minister is right. Please put down the bamboo stick in your hand. This is not what you should do. It is said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen. There is something to do and something that cannot be done. I have a volume of "advice" here. After reading it, you can tell it clearly.

Li Chengqian showed a helpless look and lowered his head to barbecue without saying a word. Li Mu looked at the book that Yu Zhining raised, raised his hand, and asked the eunuch next to him to take it. Seeing Li Mu taking it, Yu Zhining thought he wanted to read it, and said, "The Marquis should really take a look at what the minister should do. The "advice" of the subordinates will also be of great benefit to the Marquis."

"It's time to see," Li Mu turned his eyes open and looked at it pretentiously, twisted the paper with his hands, and said with satisfaction: "Good rice paper, it seems that the cost of the East Palace is enough." As he said that, he pulled off one and threw it into the brazier. Yu Zhining's eyes were about to pop out, and he wanted to grab the book back two steps before he wanted to snatch the book back. Li Mu looked at him and said: "You can't move forward any further. Within ten steps from the prince, do you want to assassinate the prince?"

"I, you!" Yu Zhining said in a furious manner, "Why did you tear my book?"

"What are you using for nothing, what's the point?" Li Mu looked at Yu Zhining contemptuously and said, "It's better to use it for barbecue!"

"You slander!" Yu Zhining couldn't help it anymore, his blood and energy were surging. He didn't care whether he could provoke Li Mu anymore. He gritted his teeth and said, "Wait, I will participate in you, let Your Majesty recognize your face!"

Li Mu happened to finish a skewer and said, "I am the one who seems to be a straightforward person like you the most."

"What does it mean, I..." Yu Zhining took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and snorted; "I'm too lazy to say goodbye to you!"

"Don't leave!" Li Mu smiled and said, "Why are you rude again? You're leaving before you even surrender to the prince?"

Yu Zhining turned around and said, "Crown Prince, I will leave!"

"Stop!" Li Chengqian suddenly stood up, his voice turned cold: "Yu Zhining, you have always disrespected me. I miss you as the person chosen by my father and I don't care about you, but you are slow to treat my elder brother today and don't take me seriously. How can I forgive you easily? The person who comes-"

"Oh, that's OK." Li Mu stopped Li Chengqian, walked to Yu Zhining and said, "I can understand you, anxious. After all, Your Majesty has handed the prince to you. If you don't train him to become a talent, you can't explain it. But I tell you, it's useless for you to do this. You have to think of some useful ways to strengthen the prince's momentum."

Yu Zhining said angrily: "What do you mean by saying this? You advise Your Majesty to open a house to the King of Wei, and you are the one who influences the prince!"

"Didn't I still advise Your Majesty to hand over the Office of the Internal Affairs to the Crown Prince?"

Yu Zhining sneered: "How can this be the true thought in your heart? Can you hand over the power of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
