It was already very late when Li Mu entered the palace, and Li Shimin delayed a lot of time when he asked questions. When he arrived at Da'an Palace, the palace gate was closed, so naturally he could not go home. Fortunately, Li Mu had already thought of this and asked Li Chongyi to go home to bring his words, so he didn't have to worry about his family's safety.

I chatted with Li Yuan for half a night and drank for half a night. It was only when it was almost dawn that I coaxed the old man to go to bed. The business of the heaven and earth was about to open. The old man was very excited these two days and almost always went to bed when it was almost dawn.

Eunuch Chen brought Li Mu a blanket, Li Mu wrapped himself in him, and took a nap with him. After dawn, before Li Yuan woke up, Li Mu hurried out of the palace and went home, otherwise he would not be able to deal with it in a whole morning when he woke up.

When he returned to the mansion, his wife and concubine were about to get up, Li Mu suddenly came back. Of course, he would not let them go, but he did not make too much trouble. After all, he suffered a lot in the past two days and did not sleep well last night, so he just kept warm and hugged the two girls and slept back.

Bai Qiaoqiao had never had the habit of sleeping in. When Li Mu got asleep, he got up and went to prepare breakfast for him. Li Zhien also wanted to help, but Bai Qiaoqiao stopped her. She asked her to sleep with Li Mu, otherwise no one would accompany him, and she would be worried that he would be empty after waking up.

Li Zhien was nestled in Li Mu's arms, listening to Bai Qiaoqiao's footsteps getting farther and farther away, and he couldn't tell what it felt like.

Logically speaking, one of the two daughters is a wife and the other is a concubine. They have different identities and positions, and there is no comparison, and there is no competition. But there is only one husband, and it is better to be a wife. After all, she has a status, but as a concubine, if she is not favored by her husband, she will be so miserable. Therefore, whether in a wealthy family or a small family, wives and concubines have their own thoughts. Those who are wives are guarding against concubines, and those who are concubines are guarding against their wives. On the surface, they are harmonious, but in fact they want to die.

But in Zhulu Hou Mansion, the situation is very different. Bai Qiaoqiao has never competed for favor, and often even created opportunities for Li Zhien. Although Li Zhien knows everything in his heart, especially the way to flatter him, she has learned since she was a child, but she never thought of dealing with Bai Qiaoqiao.

Sometimes she herself wondered if she had lived with Bai Qiaoqiao for a long time and became stupid. This lady was obviously flawed, but why was she just couldn't have a hostile heart?

Just as he was thinking, a hand suddenly appeared on his chest. Li Zhien's cheeks were red in shame. He suppressed the shyness and pursed his lips, turned around and looked at Li Mu resentfully.

This enemy has touched and kissed, and has become frivolous and frivolous, but he just doesn't take that last step. What did he think?

Is it because I don’t have a frank identity?

Li Zhien sighed, not knowing what he thought of, his eyes became confused.

...

Li Mu slept until midnight and finally got up. After eating the rice porridge made by Bai Qiaoqiao himself and three eggs, he patted his stomach with satisfaction.

Many people have worked hard for his work in the past two days. Li Mu plans to invite these people to a banquet and make some plans for the future.

Just as he was about to ask Li Zhien to write a greeting for him, Zhao Youcai came from the front yard to pass on the message, saying that Eunuch Gao was coming. Li Mu asked Li Zhien to prepare the golden cake, but he hurried to the lobby of the front yard to meet him.

"Eunuch Gao." Li Mu gave a gift, and Eunuch Gao also replied. Li Mu sighed: "I can escape this time, thanks to Eunuch Gao's secret help." As he said, Li Zhien had already put the golden cake in a box and brought it over. Li Mu took it and handed it over to Eunuch Gao, saying: "It's a mere slight gift, no respect."

"Oh, how can you be so embarrassed?" Eunuch Gao opened the box and looked at it. The five golden cakes were shining brightly, and his eyes shone. He received countless gifts in his life, but the golden cakes were still the first time he was recycled. He was worried that the eunuch behind him would help him take them out of the box one by one, stuff them into his arms, and put them on the meat. Then he spoke again and said, "Master laughed. Our family has no other hobbies, but they just like this yellow and white thing, which is very vulgar."

"This is a bad word," Li Mu smiled and said, "Who in the world doesn't love money? Compared with those who claim to be noble, Eunuch Gao's true character is even more valuable!"

Eunuch Gao laughed loudly, Li Mu asked him to sit, but Eunuch Gao waved his hand and said, "If you sit down, you won't sit down. We are running errands for Your Majesty. Marquis, guess what is your Majesty asking your Majesty to come this time?"

"This..." Li Mu's mind changed rapidly, but he couldn't think of any negligence. He suddenly felt aroused in his heart and said, "Can it be Wei Zheng again..."

"The Marquis is indeed extremely smart." Eunuch Gao praised and sighed, "Mr. Marquis, our family is not seen by the Marquis, so I will remind you. Wei Zheng is a plaster, and you can't get rid of it. At the court meeting today, Wei Zheng mentioned the old story again, saying that the Marquis committed the crime of murder. Although it is for the sake of His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor, he must avoid death, but it is difficult to live. He asked His Majesty to remove your official position and demote you to a commoner. His Majesty started arguing with him again. After the court meeting, His Majesty kept Wei Zheng and his important officials and asked our family to call you over. Marquis, you must be prepared."

"Ha! So tenacious!" Li Mu really admired Wei Zheng. Yesterday, under his series of counterattacks, someone else would have collapsed long ago. That is, Wei Zheng, who is indeed well-deserved, and his combat power and endurance are not comparable to ordinary people.

Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "Dadonkey, wait a moment, I will take something, and I will immediately follow my father-in-law into the palace."

"Mr. Marquis, please."

Li Mu took Li Zhien back to the backyard and asked Bai Qiaoqiao to take out his fish talisman and seal, put it in brocade boxes and put it in his sleeves, and then came out to go to the palace with Eunuch Gao.

In the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shimin smashed another pair of tribute bottles. Wei Zheng bent his body and put on the look of "death admonishment". Although his forehead was blue and his face was pale, he looked a little funny, but this appearance was also a weapon. At least in terms of image, he was a strong admonishment minister.

Wei Zheng has a special temperament. Even if you hate him very much, you cannot help but admire his tenacity and perseverance. And you can't just say that he is completely wrong, but he has his own reasons. Just like people often admire their opponents, Wei Zheng is undoubtedly the one that deserves admiration.

Li Mu entered the hall, and Wei Zheng looked back at him, without any resentment in his eyes, as if everything was just a matter of business.

When Li Shimin saw Li Mu, he said, "Okay, the person involved is here. Li Mu, Duke Zheng impeached you again and asked me to dismiss your official position, deprive you of your title, and demote you to a commoner. What do you have to say?"

Wei Zheng heard Li Shimin's sarcasm, but he was still very calm and looked at Li Mu and said, "A murderer was guilty of death. Although you escaped the disaster, you have to be punished. Demoting official positions and depriving the title are all the necessary meanings in the question. According to the law, it is not an exaggeration to be exiled!"

Li Mu was not angry at all, but laughed instead. He took out the brocade box in his sleeve and presented it with both hands. Seeing this, Eunuch Gao did not dare to answer it, but looked at Li Shimin. Li Shimin frowned and said, "Li Mu, I haven't made a decision yet, what are you doing?"

"Your Majesty, this is my fish that matches the seal." Li Mu put the brocade box on the desk in front of Li Shimin, took a step back, and said, "Please give me a word, and Duke Zheng will listen carefully."

Li Mu said calmly: "Your Majesty, I said that I would resign the day before yesterday. Today, Duke Zheng also mentioned that I would dismiss my official position. I can agree now, but there is one thing I want to say before. People, I will kill me, but Zhao Yuanlang has his own way to die. Why did Duke Zheng hold on to this matter? Duke Zheng knew in his heart, and I resigned today not because I was afraid of anyone, but just didn't want to get too entangled in this matter. Since Duke Zheng wanted to resign, I agreed to him. I just hope that Duke Zheng would not be like a petty woman anymore, and would talk endlessly about something. With this time, it would be better to think more about what the way of the ruler and the subject is."

As he said that, he looked at Wei Zheng again and said, "Duke Zheng, I can resign, but you can't take away the title. My title is because I have retrieved the imperial seal. This title was promised by the Supreme Emperor and everyone in the world knows it. Those who find the imperial seal will be granted a title regardless of their origin and age. I have not rebelled, so why should I deprive my title? Moreover, I have entered the royal family and even if I kill someone for no reason, Zongzheng Temple will come to judge me. What does it have to do with you? I know that you are not convinced by the loss, but what are you? If you are not as good as others, you must be convinced and entangled, and you will only fall into the inferior."

When the monarch and ministers who were "eating melons" next to him heard Li Mu say such words, they thought Wei Zheng would be furious, but unexpectedly, Wei Zheng did not. He looked at Li Mu and said, "The Marquis is right, Wei Zheng's skills are not as good as others."

Li Mu bowed to Li Shimin again and said, "Your Majesty, although I have resigned from my position as Minister of Works, I have one thing to ask Your Majesty to agree."

Li Shimin thought to himself, when will I promise you to resign. Just as I was about to speak, I suddenly caught a glimpse of Wei Zheng. He was really annoyed by him and thought to himself, it would be better to respond first and then find an opportunity to get Li Muguan to reinstate his position.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay, I agree, what's the matter?"

Li Mu said loudly: "Your Majesty, I want to participate in the spring exam next year, and I want to take the top scorer!"

"What?"

Li Shimin was shocked, Wei Zheng was also shocked, and the prime ministers and monks who were watching the fun were also shocked. What was Li Mu talking about? He wanted to take the imperial examination... and he still had to take the top scorer? Being the top scorer is Dabaicai, you can pass the exam by saying that you can get it?
