While saying this, although he was looking at Mu Jianli, his eyes flashed, and he probably thought of others.

But no matter what, he was still smiling. On the surface, it looked like there was no difference when he was entertaining Xue Mu in Wangyou Garden. Perhaps except for his confidants, outsiders could never see his joys and anger on their faces, and they could not see whether there was a poisonous fang hidden under his smile that killed his father and brother.

Mu Jianli sat aside with a cold expression and did not speak, and was highly vigilant in order to prevent a riot attack. In the heart of a swordsman with a clear and unyielding swordsmanship, she was extremely disgusted with two-faced people like Ji Wuyou. She would rather see someone who was completely defamed. Perhaps she had such a little respect and cherishment for the strong, but she was extremely disgusted with Ji Wuyou's hypocrisy.

If Xue Mu is also a planner, he also has many false conspiracies and unconventional plans. However, compared with Ji Wuyou, he can be said to be a gentleman with a bright and bright moon. This may be the biggest difference between Xue Mu and Ji Wuyou, who seem quite close to each other on the surface.

At this time, Ji Wuyou suddenly said, "I often listen to people's words. Changxinhou has broad mind and does not miss major plans with personal grudges. In the past, Yingyi had planned to assassinate you, but later participated in the siege of Sister Ling, and eventually became a long-term collaborator. This time, the conflict with Yun Qianhuang was very deep, and Changxinhou was still willing to turn the enemy into friends to reach certain cooperation."

Xue Mu smiled: "Conflicts between forces are always inevitable, and there is no eternal enemy. Being petty and vengeful will be useless. Seeking common ground while reserving differences is the general direction."

"Good words." Ji Wuyou comforted his hands and said, "Who will think Changxin Hou, how much hatred do I have with you? I have assassinated it once in the long street?"

Xue Mu was stunned for a moment and laughed: "Your Majesty finally admitted that the arrow was sent by Your Majesty."

Ji Wuyou smiled and said, "All people understand, why should you hide it?"

"It is precisely because Your Majesty has hidden too much." Xue Mu closed his smile and said lightly: "To this day, I am still not sure how much has Your Majesty secretly promoted the plague in Luzhou. What is still unknown behind Xie Changsheng's research? How many of the Shenji Gate and the Six Gates are His Majesty's people."

"No matter what I am planning, those things have nothing to do with you. If you want to pull you into the water in Luzhou, it was also planned by Lao Jiu and Pan Kouzhi. I watched coldly, but I never said a word." Ji Wuyou sighed: "In Wangyou Garden that day, I and Changxinhou said very sincerely. We have something in common in many aspects and have a good foundation for cooperation. I don't know why our relationship has reached this point today. I feel that even if there is no grudge in front of you, you will be enemies with me. Your mind seems not to be used on me."

"Because I don't dare." Xue Mu glanced at the inner guards around him and said directly: "From the moment the late emperor was poisoned, the poisoner was the enemy that I, Xue Mu, feared the most."

Ji Wuyou frowned and said, "You are the one who wants to poison first, that's obviously something you like."

"I am enemies of the late emperor, and Your Majesty and the late emperor are father and son. Are there really no difference between them?" Xue Mu laughed and said, "No one can guarantee whether the poison will reach my throat one day. I don't have that big heart to play with this person."

"So that's it." Ji Wuyou leaned on the imperial seat and tapped the table gently: "That is, there is no possibility of cooperation between you and me?"

The atmosphere seemed to be suddenly tense, and Mu Jianli put his hand on the hilt.

Xue Mu said: "Because today's discussion on railway transportation has touched His Majesty a little?"

Ji Wuyou crossed his hands and stood on the table, looked at Xue Mu for a while, and then said, "If I intend to stop this, I don't need to argue with the Princess of the Suiguo in the court. The financial power is not in the hands of Xiahou, and I only need to block the early financial investment, so she will be struggling. Has Changxin Hou considered it?"

"If you don't rely on the finances of the court, Xue has a way, but you might be slower." Xue Mu frowned and said, "But since Your Majesty said that, is he willing to support this matter?"

Ji Wuyou said lightly: "Even if you, Xue Mu, can solve the huge expenditure by yourself... But if I try to stop it, it will always delay this matter. The effect you want is not so easy to achieve. It is easy to delay it for a year or two. Right?"

Xue Mu must admit this. No matter what, he is also an emperor, and has not yet reached the point of being undermined.

Ji Wuyou said: "So Xue Mu is not cooperative, how about you and I make a deal?"

Xue Mu nodded: "Your Majesty may as well talk about the proposal."

"First of all, the imperial court had a city defense chief and a palace guard in the early years, responsible for the city defense and the security guards of the outer palace. However, the capital had no war for thousands of years, and these two functions were also abolished. The city defense was replaced by the six gate patrol security, and the eunuchs' inner guard replaced the conventional guards. Those who are familiar with each other know that the royal authority in the past was different from the present. Now the capital and the imperial palace, which are leaking everywhere, are no longer adapted to the changes in the situation, and these two forces must be re-established. The city defense chief had been arguing with Xiahou for a long time before, and I still wanted to establish another guard, and I had to fight with the empress dowager. It would be better to take this opportunity to communicate with Changxinhou first and cut the mess."

Xue Mu pondered for a moment and asked again: "But first? What else?"

"Secondly, the Ministry of Transport is the new department of the court. Regardless of whether the salary is self-sufficient, personnel must be included in the court's attention. If there is any profit, it will be resolved. If it becomes an independent kingdom, I would rather disperse it. Meeting these two conditions, I can support and promote this matter. No matter whether the court's agreement or financial appropriation is restricted, you can do whatever you plan to do, it's that simple."

Xue Mu was stunned. This proposal should be said to be a matter of course. How could the emperor sit back and watch the departments that are independent of officials' assessment and financial power, and they foolishly pass the proposal and allocate funds? People are not fools. They have never expected to achieve this when they do this, which is too exaggerated.

He couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty should discuss with the eldest princess. Will she still refuse such a request?"

Ji Wuyou smiled bitterly: "She... no longer believes in any of my proposals. She will feel whether there is any malice in every word I say."

Xue Muran. The brother and sister who were once closest to each other finally came to this situation.

He sighed: "I will tell Xiahou about this. As for the imperial guards... if they have clear powers and do not enter the inner palace, it is also in principle."

Correspondingly, in terms of Ji Wuyou's purpose, the City Defense Department should be set up for warriors all over the world, and the imperial guards should be set up for the second generation of officials. If you object to this kind of thing, you will stand against all the officials, and Liu Wanxi will most likely be unable to resist. It would be better not to be stalemate here, and both sides will not restrict each other's operations.

Ji Wuyou smiled slightly: "It's a pleasure to communicate with Changxinhou."

Xue Mu was not in much mood to make a superficial article with him, so he stood up and said, "If nothing else, Xue Mu will say goodbye first."

Ji Wuyou nodded: "Changxinhou can go and see his mother, she seems to be getting angry."

Xue Mu took Mu Jianli away with a strange look.

Walking on the path leading to the inner palace, Mu Jianli asked Xue Mu strangely: "Is he showing weakness?"

If the proposal for the Imperial Guard was a serious exchange, the personnel and finances of the Ministry of Transport did mean to show weakness. A very legitimate proposal needs to be exchanged, which seems sad and weak. Those who don’t know the inside story thought that Ji Wuyou is no longer allowed to leave the imperial study room now, but Xue Mu knew very well that Ji Wuyou is not so weak. What does it mean to deliberately make such a statement?

Do you mean to numb yourself? Or do you mean that you don’t want to have a quarrel with Xiahou Di? No, this is what he meant, isn’t he that he doesn’t oppose the establishment of the Ministry of Transport at all?

Xue Mu pondered for a long time before sighing: "This guy is so heartless... As expected, he is right. Having such an opponent is really a big deal."

Mu Jianli blinked and couldn't understand his intentions.

At this time, in the imperial study room, the eunuch of the inner guard was also asking Ji Wuyou: "Your Majesty really won't stop the establishment of the transportation department? This matter looks huge and will form a very powerful force, which is greater than our city defense department and the imperial guards."

Ji Wuyou said lightly: "This is an act of strengthening the strength of the court, and it also has great benefits for people's livelihood. The other impact is immeasurable. One stone can lead to more birds, and the benefits are forever. Why stop it?"

"But……"
