In ancient times, there were rules when meeting guests, and the locations were different, indicating that they were close and distant. Ordinary guests met in the lobby. The place in the study was an inner house and must be close people. Changsun Wuji asked Li Mu to wait in the study, which showed that he treated Li Mu as his nephew. This had nothing to do with being angry or not, but with etiquette. He looked at Li Ji's face. No matter what, Li Mu was Li Ji's adopted son, and this alone was worth seeing him in his study.

Li Mu didn't wait too long, and there was only one stick of incense [Bayi Chinese website www.x81zw.me]. Changsun Wuji came. Li Mu stood up and saluted, and Changsun Wuji quickly helped him. After some politeness, he sat down with the host and the guest.

If he looked at Changsun Wuji's expression at this time, he could not see any embarrassment at all, as if nothing had happened. If Li Mu had not arranged someone to guard near the palace gate and saw Changsun Wuji's carriage reaching the East Palace, he would have thought that Changsun Wuji had no idea. He couldn't help but praise him in his heart. As a result, he was indeed a Wuxu scholar. Changsun Wuji's skill in qi cultivation was really good.

Influenced by later TV series, before he saw Li Ji, before he came to Chang'an, the image of Li Ji, Changsun Wuji and others in his imagination were all the heroic images of deep minds, full of wisdom, usually like wood, and the government and the country were turbulent as soon as he spoke. However, after seeing Li Ji and came to Chang'an, he found that he was wrong. This mistake was not because of the other side, but because of a time difference. In later TV series, the images of Li Ji and others who often appeared in the late Zhenguan period, before and after Emperor Gaozong ascended the throne, Changsun Wuji and others were already in their sixties.

Now it is only the end of the third year of Zhenguan. Li Shimin is 32 years old, Changsun Wuji is 33 years old, and Li Ji is 36 years old. These people don’t have a single white hair, and they all look handsome uncles. Li Mu lived to be twenty-eight years old in his previous life. Facing a person who is 32 or 33 years old, it is really difficult to use the image of later TV series. This is also the reason why he dared to make a decision about Changsun Wuji.

Li Mu also considered this decision. If he considered things according to the image of Changsun Wuji and others in the TV series of his previous life, then he might as well stop doing anything. In the TV series of later life, Changsun Wuji and Li Ji were almost evil, and the people who fought with them all died miserably in the end. The smartest way was to hold their thighs, be a younger brother, and bow their heads to be a human being, but this was not the life he wanted. Li Mu had a systematic body and had hope, and did not want to be anyone's younger brother. He recognized Li Ji as his adopted father

That's because of Li Siwen, otherwise he wouldn't have done this. Facing Changsun Wuji during the period of "Shirtless Uncle", Li Mu was actually more eager to try than fear. Because he clearly understood one thing. During the Zhenguan period, whether it was Li Ji, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, or Du Ruhui, they actually did not achieve the four words "powerful in the court and the country". The real boss was Li Shimin. With this great god pressing him, no one could stir up the storm.

As a "worker", as long as what you do is recognized by the "big boss", you will have no mistake in your direction. Otherwise, you will first please the "supervisor" and then please the "manager", and finally make the "big boss" unhappy, will it be useless?

Li Mu's current strategy is to please Li Yuan, the "former chairman" Li Shimin, be happy about Li Shimin, and not cause disasters and troubles, so that he can be invincible. As for the face of others, it actually does not need to be considered too much. It is only the third year of Zhenguan, and Li Shimin died twenty years later. At that time, if no accidents occur, Changsun Wuji will be in power and the people, Li Jixiong dominates the military, will Li Mu, the Marquis of Zhulu, be a small shrimp?

Not necessarily! It has been 20 years of operation, but it is still unknown who will be the boss in the end!

But at the moment, we have to bow our heads. Because the gap between the two sides is too big, and it is a small matter after all, so it is really not a good idea to offend the "CEO" for such a thing.

So Li Mu came, with sincerity and gifts. He still remembers his current character: a young boy, who is a newcomer and doesn't know anything. So he just needs to do things straight, which is most in line with his current situation.

After the greetings, we naturally had to talk about the important things. Of course, Changsun Wuji would not talk about this matter. He just asked some questions about family matters. Li Mu chatted with him for a while, and took a quick look at a gap. Changsun Wuji was shocked and thought that this kid was coming up and was about to take action, so he almost called someone. When he reached his throat, Li Mu bowed to the end and said, "Uncle, I'm not to hide it. The boy came this time to apologize!"

"Oh?" Hearing the word "Apologize", Changsun Wuji's expression became playful, and he did not reach out to help Li Mu, saying, "I don't know why?"

"Two things in total!" Li Mu didn't get up and bowed and said, "The first thing was in Dingxiang. A man who claimed to be the manager of the Duke of Zhao came to find him and said he wanted to pay for the secret method of making wine. Although I didn't know whether this person's identity was true or not, he still received him with the name of "Duke of Zhao". At that time, I had already agreed with Li Siwen that we were doing the brewing business. So I politely declined Manager Zhang's request, but Manager Zhang said that I relied on General Li Ji's power and did not take my uncle seriously, and left angrily. Regarding this matter, the boy wants to explain.

In a few words, I rejected Manager Zhang’s request because I and Li Siwen were right first. A gentleman did not stand without trust and could not make any promises. This matter was not directed to anyone. Later, after arriving in Chang'an, Duke Su also mentioned the sale of this wine, which was also rejected by me, which can be proved. As for Manager Zhang, I did not take my uncle seriously because I was with General Li Ji. This is a dementia statement. Let me ask, the general and the uncle have no grudges. Why do I praise and demote the uncle? What is the benefit of this? If I were not a fool, why did I deliberately offend the uncle?"

Changsun Wuji didn't say anything, but he had already believed in his heart. Changsun Wuji knew how Zhang was like. He was a good man in his work, but arrogant things often happened. Moreover, what Li Mu said was indeed not bad, and he had no reason to offend him.

Li Mu said again: "The second thing is today's thing. I have violated your majesty by leveraging my uncle to establish my authority. I should have discussed this matter with my uncle in advance, but I have no choice but to be helpless. I am sorry that I cannot tell you the reason."
