Li Mu helped Li Siwen up, found a chair for him to sit, came to Li Ji, and said, "Enjoyed Father, it is indeed my fault that I did not inform you in time. But I and Siwen really don't know about Nazha's identity. Although Siwen is a little unlucky, he is still not confused about major events. If she knew she was the daughter of Prince Yin, Siwen would never bring her to Chang'an. If I knew her identity, I would never help Siwen hide it."

Li Mu's attitude became more and more sincere, saying, "The adoptive father, the so-called "who doesn't know" is not a mistake. Siwen's help to Nazha is a loyal act. How could the adoptive father say that he did something wrong?"

There is another sentence that Li Mu didn't say, "Who leaked the news, and how did Li Ji know?"

Soon, his doubts were resolved. After hearing Li Mu's words, Li Ji threw the whip in his hand to the ground. Li Bi hurried over and picked it up. Without the whip, Li Ji would not kick and beat him like a gangster.

"A act of loyalty? A act of loyalty is right? Those who don't know are not blamed? Those who don't know will be innocent, will they be innocent? Li Mu, you should understand that guilt and innocence are both in the mind of Your Majesty. The dragon has a scale that will cause death when touched. Some taboos cannot be touched! How do you think I know?" Li Ji glared at Li Siwen, and his voice was trembling when he spoke, pointing to him and cursing: "This rebellious son! I told him to marry the daughter of King Jiangxia, and only after six rituals, I could get married. Who knew that just now, the Prince Jiangxia's mansion sent someone to say that this marriage would not be completed? I asked the reason, and I realized that this kid had caused a big disaster! You hid him in the mansion. Can you protect him in this matter?"

"King of Jiangxia?" Li Mu wondered how King Jiangxia learned the news. Could it be that King Jiangxia also had suspicion in the heaven and earth? No, they were all imperial guards in the palace, so it was impossible for King Jiangxia to have suspicion. Today, he came from home to the palace and came out of the palace to the heaven and earth. Although the carriages were slower along the way, there was no place to delay too much. Who could spread the news?

Suddenly, Li Shimin came into Li Mu's mind and his heart skipped a beat. He remembered what Li Shimin said, saying that he didn't want to kill anyone, but there was another saying that death penalty could be avoided, and living punishment could not be escaped. King Jiangxia is a royal relative, and his daughter is also a noble daughter of the royal family. If Li Shimin wanted to punish Li Siwen, he would definitely not let the noble daughter of the royal family marry him.

Could it be...

Li Mu quickly told the story of entering the palace today. After hearing this, Li Ji sighed, "Li Mu, you still lack experience! Your Majesty has always been wise and independent. How could you change your opinion because of your child's words? If you enter the palace or not, the fate of Siwen and that woman is already destined. What you said only affects Your Majesty's view of you. Your response is quite appropriate, but Your Majesty will never hold him accountable just because you said a few words for Siwen. I sent the Hu Ji out back then, and his Majesty didn't know much about this, but you told him about this. Now Siwen brought the person back again, it was all about my father and son. How could Your Majesty not be angry?"

"Oh!" Li Mu regretted it so much that his intestines were blushed. He ignored this point. He thought that a cautious person like Li Ji would report this matter after Li Shimin ascended the throne. But he did not expect that after Nazha and his son were sent away by Li Ji, he did not expect that the mother and his son would return one day, so he almost forgot about this matter. Now that Li Mu said before Li Ji, he cheated Li Ji. Now in Li Shimin's heart, the crime of "deception of the king" may be inevitable.

"Entertainment Father, this is all my fault!"

Li Ji waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal here. After all, I just made a great contribution, and Your Majesty will not blame me. But Siwen...ah! Forget it, I'll go to the palace to apologize, and I hope Your Majesty can be generous..."

As he was talking, the gatekeeper suddenly rushed over and said unhappily: "Master, Second Master, come, come, someone is coming in the palace!"

As soon as the concierge finished speaking, Eunuch Gao's voice came over: "What are you doing? No one is here to support me. Oh, the Marquis is here, and the Master is here... Tsk tsk, the county is here, okay, it's a waste of trouble."

Li Ji quickly came out and greeted Eunuch Gao. Seeing the imperial edict held by the little eunuch behind him, his face became a little stiff.

Li Mu was also a little anxious and said, "Brother-in-law, this is..."

Eunuch Gao still looked like a smile and said, "Mr. Marquis, you have also seen it. Our family is here to pass the order."

"But Your Majesty has promised me..."

"Mr. Marquis, I'd better pass the order first and talk later if you have any questions."

Eunuch Gao's face turned solemn, and he took the imperial edict from the young eunuch and unfolded it. From Li Ji below, he hurriedly bowed and listened to the imperial edict.

"The imperial edict said: Those who are in the founding county have a great knowledge of their magnificent spirit, their demeanor is far-reaching, their strengths are beginning to achieve success. Now they are specially granted Dingxiang as their fiefdom, hoping to manage with their hearts and benefit the border people. They are willing to recruit refugees as their soldiers to guard the border for me, and hope to use their hearts and lives to do so, and they will not leave their posts without being summoned. They will not return to the court unless they are specially summoned! Since the edict was launched, they immediately put their clothes on their posts. The edict is as good as the right, and the master will implement it."

After finishing reading the imperial edict, Eunuch Gao put together the imperial edict and handed it to Li Siwen, saying, "Dingxiang County, please thank me?"

Li Siwen fell to the ground, took the imperial edict with both hands, and said, "I thank Your Majesty for your grace."

Eunuch Gao returned to his smile and said, "Your Majesty's order to send our family to Dingxiang County for a journey. It's getting late. The county should pack up quickly. Our family is waiting here."

Li Siwen looked up at Li Ji, and Li Ji nodded. Although Li Siwen was kicked out of Chang'an, he would not be allowed to return to the court if he was not called. However, after all, he saved his title and life, which was the best result, and he could no longer be too extravagant.

Li Bi helped Li Siwen up and went to the back house to pack his luggage. Eunuch Gao took a look and took out another imperial edict.

"General, this will is for you."

Li Ji was stunned for a moment, bowed quickly, and said, "I listen to the emperor's order."

Gong Gong Gao unveiled the imperial edict and said, "The imperial edict said: The Turkic rebelled and rebelled against the country and harmed the people. General Li Ji sent troops to Yunzhong and returned with great victory. This achievement lies in the country and the profits are for the future. He must be rewarded. Li Ji was specially promoted to the Duke of England and gave him 100,000 gold and 100 hectares of good land. The imperial edict was right, and the master was the one who implemented it."

Li Ji bowed, took the imperial edict with both hands, and said, "I thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

Eunuch Gao smiled and said, "Duke of England, congratulations."

"Thank you for your kindness." Li Ji looked grateful and crying to Taiji Palace, and said with great emotion: "I am a guilty minister. Before I could apologize to Your Majesty, I really feel guilty in my heart."

It is not surprising that Li Ji was so moved. Although the Duke of the State is from first-rank titles, the status of the Duke of the State is still different. The title of Duke of the State is generally divided into third-rank titles. The first-rank title is the name of the vassal states of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, such as Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei and Qin. It is generally the royal relatives, princes and grandsons, and is worthy of enjoyment. The second-rank title is the character that reflects the achievements of this person, such as Li Ji's "Duke of England", and the third-rank title is the place name of ancient times, such as Duke of Lai, Duke of Cao, Duke of Liang, etc. The change of the character promoted Li Ji from the third-rank title to the second-rank title. Second only to the royal relatives, it is definitely an honor.

"If the Duke of England is there, Your Majesty asks us to tell the Duke of England. The past is not worthy of the truth. Your Majesty knows the loyalty of the Duke of England. This will be called the British security."

"Please tell Your Majesty that Li Ji can only repay His Majesty's kindness if he is heartbroken."

Eunuch Gao responded with a smile. Li Mu stretched his neck and looked behind Eunuch Gao. He didn't see the third imperial edict, so he felt relieved. Li Ji asked Eunuch Gao to sit in the lobby. Eunuch Gao said, "Marquis, although Your Majesty has no order to give you, Your Majesty has specifically instructed us to go to the Marquis' Mansion when we go back and pass on an oral order."

Li Mu got up and wanted to salute him. Eunuch Gao hurriedly stopped him and said, "The Marquis does not need to be polite. Your Majesty is just telling the Marquis that he will remember to go to school tomorrow."

“…”

Li Mu took a deep breath, but was not so depressed that he was suffocated and said, "I will definitely go back. In fact, Your Majesty doesn't need to worry at all. Who doesn't know that I love the most is learning, and no one can stop my enthusiasm for learning. With such a good opportunity, how could I miss it?"

Eunuch Gao laughed happily as if he had heard a joke and said, "Mr. Marquis, our family will tell His Majesty word for it word for word."

After a few chats, Li Siwen had packed up his clothes and changed into clothes. His body was originally very weak, but in Dingxiang, he had already beaten up his work with the craftsmen in the past six months, so he was still able to stand it.

Seeing that Bai Gensheng and Wang Hu were also following Li Siwen with a package on their back, Li Mu understood what they meant. Wang Hu must have been arranged by Li Ji. After Li Siwen made such a fuss, he was no longer at ease and let the kid make a fuss alone. Wang Hu followed him, just looking at Li Siwen. Bai Gensheng was because of what Li Mu once said casually that this kid was heading for the Zhe Chong Mansion.

Li Mu came to Bai Gensheng and said, "Have you thought about it? You can't tell me when you will be back when you go to Dingxiang. If you are leaving like this, don't you tell me about it?"

"Isn't my brother-in-law my family? I'll just say it to my brother-in-law. I don't have to worry about having my brother-in-law there. If I go to say goodbye, I will inevitably cry and make trouble again. I feel very annoyed. When I arrive in Dingxiang, I will just write a letter and come back."

Li Mu frowned and said, "How can you still write letters?"

Bai Gensheng blushed and said, "Scholars should be treated with admiration for three days. Brother Wang and I can learn to write and read military books!"

"Yoyo... Look, you can do it. It's okay, a real man should take the fame immediately. I'm very pleased that you have this ambition." After pausing, Li Mu said again: "I have everything here."

Li Mu patted Bai Gensheng on the shoulder, turned his head to look at Li Siwen.
