When Li Mu spoke, he turned his head slightly and glanced at Eunuch Gao behind Li Shimin. Eunuch Gao nodded slightly. Li Mu was relieved, with a smile on his face, put down his pen, and said, "Why did Your Majesty come so early? Have you used breakfast? If you haven't used it, what do you want to eat, even if you say, my food here is better than in the palace..."

"..." Li Shimin's face suddenly turned dark. Is this a human word? Your family's food is better than that in the palace, and I even asked me to order it casually. Why? The emperor can't afford to eat?

He has never won a fight with Li Mu. Li Shimin also learned his lessons and was deaf in tactical ways. He didn't take him back at all. He said to himself, "Can I not come? You are a dignified Marquis of Zhulu, a god that fell from the sky. I can't invite you, the god, so I have to come in person? If I don't come to find you, you really won't go to the palace."

Where did this evil wind come from?

Li Mu turned his head to look at Eunuch Gao again, and Eunuch Gao still nodded. Li Mu thought to himself, "I'm not looking for trouble, so why are you doing this?" What are you sarcastic? Did you hear this?"

I have no clue, I can only wait and see what changes are.

Li Mu smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, can we make some sense? You didn't let me enter the palace. Have you forgotten? Didn't you tell me to get out of here on the day the Sihai Gambling House opened? I got out of here. Actually, I thought about it this morning. It's like a young man, right? As a junior, I have to be filial to you. But I dare not go, for fear that if you say something wrong, it will make you angry. The New Year will cause trouble for you, and I will be so guilty-"

"Stop talking to me," Li Shimin interrupted Li Mu's words with annoyance, and said, "Do you use my words as a guise? You know what you think. I am not using these things with you today. I ask you, did you really draw that map?"

“What map?”

Li Shimin took out the map from his arms, spread it on the table, and said, "Is this map you drew?"

"Yes!" Li Mu took a look and knew that he gave Li Tai the one he gave. He would not unexpectedly fall into Li Shimin's hands. He pretended to be confused with his understanding and said, "Your Majesty, this is for me to teach my disciples. I want Li Tai to study hard and make progress. Don't draw a broken picture that makes people unable to see. Just be very happy and complacent - why did it come to Your Majesty's hands? Oh, this is just a random painting. It's too clumsy, and you may pollute Your Majesty's eyes. Your Majesty will give it to me. Wait for me to describe it carefully and give it to Your Majesty for the imperial view..."

As he said that, Li Mu stretched out his hand and wanted to take the map back. Li Shimin slapped on the table and said, "I'm asking you how this map was drawn!"

"Uh..." Li Mu pursed his lips and asked, "Your Majesty, do you think the earth under your feet is a ball?"

"I don't know, I haven't flew to the sky before...ah!" Li Shimin suddenly remembered and pointed at Li Mu and said, "By the way, you said, the dream you had!"

Li Mu nodded seriously and said, "Your Majesty, I have told you that I often dream. In my dreams, there is a huge bird made of steel, where people can penetrate into the belly of the bird and soar over the nine heavens. This kind of bird is called an airplane in my dreams."

"Flying Chicken?" Eunuch Gao murmured in a low voice: "I really don't know what it is. It's called Luanfeng and Zhuque. What's the name? It sounds like a poultry."

Li Shimin glanced at Eunuch Gao, and Eunuch Gao quickly closed his mouth. Li Shimin asked, "You said the earth under your feet is a ball, because you saw it soaring in the belly of this flying chicken in the nine heavens in the belly of a flying chicken?"

Li Mu nodded.

Li Shimin said again: "But why didn't you mention half of the sentence when you said it to Qingque?"

Li Mu smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I am Qingque's master. As a teacher, you should value majesty. I said such a bizarre reason. Will he believe Qingque's intelligence and talent? He only thinks that I am just a fool. If I leave this impression on my disciple, how can I teach him in the future? Your Majesty, you understand me, too!"

This is sincere and meaningful, which makes people have to believe. What's more important is that it was accidentally pointed out that Li Mu admitted that Li Tai is smart and talented. Li Tai is Li Shimin's favorite son, how can he be unhappy after hearing it?

"That's right. You're just talking to me for such nonsense." Li Shimin still frowned. He didn't suspect Li Mu lied to him, but he just felt unbelievable. He looked at Li Mu and said, "Li Mu, do you often have this kind of dream now? When Doctor Sun treated you, have you said to him? What did he say to him?"

Li Mu sighed, and his whole body exuded a decadent aura, barely squeezing a smile, which made people feel pity when they saw it: "How can I not say it? But Doctor Sun has never met a patient like me, and he has no choice. However, after taking the medicine left by Doctor Sun, this symptom has been relieved a lot. Recently, the last time I had such a dream was a month ago. I couldn't grasp the rules of dreaming, and I have been unable to remember it recently. When I woke up from the dream, I could still remember it. If I didn't take the notes, I would forget it in the blink of an eye."

"Forgot-" Li Shimin murmured to himself, and Eunuch Gao answered from the side: "Your Majesty, this is normal. I often dream and can't remember it."

Li Shimin sighed. He also had a dream. But he could never forget it, and every time he remembered it, it would be clearer. I guess the memory of that bloody night will never be forgotten, and I will never forget the day I brought it to the coffin.

When Li Mu saw Li Shimin suddenly depressed, he was a little confused and said carefully: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay," Li Shimin could not tell Li Mu in detail about such things, and said, "I haven't eaten yet. Isn't it a food? Let me see it."

"Oh." Li Mu shouted, someone came to serve him, and it was cold outside, so he set the table in the house. Today is the Little New Year, according to the rules, you need to eat dumplings. Last night, the chefs prepared the filling and made it freshly packed and cooked this morning, which was not troublesome.

When the dumplings were served, they were ridiculed by Li Shimin: "I still think it is a delicacy of mountains and seas, just won't eat wontons?"

"Your Majesty, please try it."

Li Shimin picked up a dumpling and put it in his mouth. As soon as he took a bite, his eyes suddenly widened. He angrily said, "Li Mu, do you dare to kill cows? These wontons are made of beef!"

Li Mu felt funny when he saw Li Shimin eating voraciously. As an emperor, he couldn't even eat beef. What's the point of being an emperor?

Li Mu signaled Eunuch Gao to sit down, and also gave him dumplings, saying, "Your Majesty, you can't rely on me for this. The beef was given to me by Uncle Cheng. Have you heard of the polo game? I helped him have some ideas. In order to thank me, he sent beef over. I heard that this beef was difficult to give birth-"

"Fuck!" Li Shimin grabbed another dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowing it and said, "Other people's cattle have not been killed for ten years. Only his cattle have not died in a month? He just slaughtered it to eat it on purpose. Who can he fool?"

"Then I don't know. I have never raised a cattle anyway, and I have never killed me."

Li Shimin was soaked with oil in his mouth, and he was embarrassed to say anything. Seeing that there was wine on the table, Li Mu didn't have to be polite, so he poured himself a drink. After drinking two cups, his body gradually became warmer. Li Shimin stuttered and said, "You kid are not honest. You pour three cups on the same page. Why are your place better than in the palace?"

"This is brewed by me myself. How can I compare with my skills in the winery? And this wine has been preserved for some time..." Li Mu glanced at the mouth of the bottle and said, "This is brewed by me just arrived in Chang'an, and it has been more than half a year. I haven't brewed recently. If your Majesty wants to drink it, I will bring you some of the rest when I return to the palace later."

"You are generous." Li Shimin drank another drink and murmured: "In the blink of an eye, you have been here in Chang'an for more than half a year, and life is really fast."

After sighing, returning to the topic, Li Shimin said: "I am not here today for these idle things. There are two things in total. The first one is about the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I received a memorial today, and your stepfather Tang Jian handed it over. It said that as the Chinese New Year approaches, the grain prices in Chang'an and Luoyang have risen by 30%. Tang Jian sent people to ask several major grain merchants in Chang'an City. They said they are related to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Because the Ministry of Internal Affairs ordered a large amount of grain, the supply was in short supply, so the price rose. So I come to ask you, is there any such thing?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "There is a matter of ordering a large amount of grain. I have told Your Majesty that I have bought 10,000 acres of land in Dingxiang, and my righteous brother Siwen. He was in charge of Dingxiang and collected a lot of refugees who needed food and food. Therefore, I ordered a batch of grain through the Ministry of Internal Affairs, about 100,000 dan. However, this little grain should not be enough to affect Chang'an and Luoyang's grain prices. Even if there is an impact, it will not reach 30%. This matter must be the grain merchant taking the opportunity to raise prices, and his intentions are to be punished."

"I don't care whether it's possible or not. Just accept it. What you do is your business. What I want is stable food prices and can afford to eat."

When Li Mu heard that he had to work again, he immediately complained: "Your Majesty, it's enough for the Ministry of Civil Affairs to do this. It's almost the Chinese New Year, and I... have you been removed from your post," he said.

"Oh, yes, you have been dismissed." Li Shimin responded and said to Eunuch Gao: "Remember it and send an order after returning to the palace to let Li Mu, the Marquis of Zhulu, 'temporary' of the position of Chief Minister of the Interior. Remember, it is temporarily."

Eunuch Gao resisted the laughter and responded. Li Mu sighed and was speechless. After a long time, he said, "What is another thing? Your Majesty, please tell me together. I will do it quickly so that I can avoid a bad New Year."

"There is another thing, which is the factory guards you mentioned before. After thinking about it, I still-"

Li Mu's eyes shone: "Your Majesty, have you agreed? That's great!"

"No!"
