"I have some consideration for practicing medicine, and I will apply medicine according to "Material Herbal Medicine". The dead doctor will not live, and the living doctor will die. My surname is Lu, and I say that I am a good doctor, and they are all called Sailu Medical..."

On the stage, Dr. Sailu appeared and was about to strangle Cai Po to death. It happened that Zhang Lu'er and his son met her and rescued her.

Everyone on the street watched it with relish. After all, this is the first scene from ancient times to the present. No one has seen such a strong story before. Although Yuefu has a certain storyline, the five words can explain what it means. How can this part be divided into the role? Everyone has a play with verbal and verbal lines and sarcasm.

Even in Li Mu's eyes, this "drama" was so shabby that it could not be more shabby. But in the eyes of the people, they opened their eyes and watched them with concentration, not even daring to breathe, for fear of missing a line.

On the second floor, Li Shimin arrived early. In fact, at heart, Li Shimin is also a person who likes to join in the fun. How could he not come if Dou E is the first show of the wrongdoer today? Not only did he come, but Empress Changsun also came, Li Yuan also brought Li Yourong to the house next to him. Li Xiaogong was also there, but he was not upstairs, but on the street, he chose the place closest to the stage, staring at Jin Chen with his cow eyes, as if he was about to eat someone.

Li Mu didn't expect so many people to come, so he asked Sangou to buy some dried fruit candied fruits to entertain him. He also ran upstairs and downstairs several times and said hello. Those who could come today were all supported and should not be neglected.

Li Mu just came back from Li Yuan and happened to be in this plot. When Li Shimin saw him, he reached out to point him and said, "You kid is too stingy. If anyone provoked you, it will be bad for eight lifetimes, and you will never end. I have read this line. Why are the bad guys all from Shandong? I want to strangle Cai Po's surname Lu to death. The evil governor is also surnamed Lu. Are you deliberately disgusting people?"

How could Li Mu admit it? He waved his hand quickly and said, "Your Majesty, don't slander me for my innocence. I have never thought about it like that. Creation is so good. When I write about this character, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration in my head, and I felt that his surname must be Lu, which would be easy to read. Otherwise, the surname Li, Longxi Li, your Majesty, do you agree?"

Li Shimin was choked and glared at him fiercely. Wang Ou was right next to him. Isn’t this a little bastard that makes me embarrassed?

Li Mu understood Li Shimin's eyes, but ignored him. He thought to himself, Wang Ou is my wife, so I won't let you make a fool of yourself. Could it be that I am a fool of myself? If I die, I will not die. I can only give you a word "sorry".

However, it is not easy to offend me deeply. Seeing that Li Shimin looked embarrassed, Li Mu pulled his words back a little and said, "Your Majesty, you actually don't understand my good intentions."

"Wu," Li Shimin curled his lips and said, "What good intentions do you have? You are just venting your anger."

"It's nothing." Li Mu said seriously: "Your Majesty, do you still remember what I said about "public opinion"?"

Li Shimin recalled and said, "When did the Tang Daily? What does it have to do with this drama?"

"It's all public opinion." Li Mu pointed out the window, and the people were indignant, because the plot happened to be that Zhang Lu'er and his son arrived at Cai Po's house and wanted to marry them. The people who were even applauded by Zhang Lu'er just now started to scold, and their voices even overshadowed the sound on the stage. If someone hadn't stopped him, someone would have to rush to the stage to fight Bai Nao'er.

Li Mu smiled and said, "What do Your Majesty think? The same audience has a very different attitude in less than a quarter of an hour."

Li Shimin thought for a while and said, "They are because of the plot--" Suddenly, Li Shimin stopped, frowned, and said, "You deliberately used the surname of the bad guy, and the location is in Qizhou. Is this what the people think after watching this drama, thinking that the person with the surname Lu is not a good person, and the officials in Shandong are bad, and then their reputation is damaged. Is this what it means?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "That's exactly what it means! Your Majesty once said that the court's weak control over the local area is because the people only know the family but not the court. Although I am unable to quickly reverse the people's ideas, I can subtly let the people receive messages through serialized novels, performed dramas, and even sings. Most of the people have never read books or even illiterate, but they can understand stories and understand human feelings. One day, they will know that the court is their support and His Majesty is their hope. No matter what their surname is, they are all selfish people. I believe that as long as I persist, more people who create, more people who act, and more people who tell stories, will achieve their goals sooner or later."

Li Shimin thought about it, nodded slowly, and agreed to Li Mu's truth, but chuckled, saying, "Your kid's words, I can only believe three points now. You may have just remembered to fool me, but it doesn't matter. You just watch the fun, it's better to be useful, and it's useless. As long as the bad guy doesn't have the surname Li, I won't care about you."

Li Mu smiled and said, "How dare I let the bad guy's surname be Li? Didn't I also have a clan membership? The bad guy's surname is Li, which means he scolds himself. I am not stupid."

"You are just shrewd."

Li Shimin sighed helplessly. He felt more and more difficult to control Li Mu. He could not expect this kid's idea, but his idea was that this kid could often predict his idea.

This made Li Shimin feel terrible, but he still feels relieved to Li Mu because he doesn't feel that Li Mu has ambitions.

As an ambitious man and an emperor who ascended the throne through blood, Li Shimin was very sensitive to human ambitions. He could feel how great the ambitions of his ministers were, such as Changsun Wuji, Hou Junji, Fang Xuanling, and Wei Zheng. He knew the ambitions of these famous ministers as much as he knew them. It was because he knew them well that he was very relieved because he was confident to control them.

Li Mu seemed to do whatever he did. Without a unified purpose, he didn't care about anything, which made people feel difficult. If he did well, you didn't know how to reward him. If he didn't do well, you didn't know what he would hurt. It was like a piece of hob meat, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"I heard that your academy is about to graduate?"

"Datang Technical School." Li Mu repeated his name and said, "Your Majesty is well-informed and is about to graduate. Today, ten people are all talented. I will go to the Ministry of Personnel to complete the procedures tomorrow and take office the day after tomorrow. With their assistance in the future, I will be more relaxed and prepare for the imperial examination."

"I heard that your exam is unique and you can choose each other - I have a question, is it the one who chooses like this? I must be the most capable one?"

Li Mu shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, but it is the one that can convince the public the most."

"Your Majesty, the nature of the Interior Government is different from other yamen. It is not a professional yamen. For example, if a person cannot create a yamen, he cannot do it even if he is allowed to do the work. But the Interior Government, basically every yamen, as long as he graduates from the Tang Dynasty Technical School, he can be competent. Then, whether he can convince the public is the decisive factor of how far he can go in the future. The main backbone of the Interior Government does not intend to use outsiders, so I let them choose it themselves, and they are convinced in my heart."

"This is a good idea, and I have learned it." Li Shimin laughed and suddenly he asked again: "Li Mu, are you really planning to take the imperial examination? In fact, with your current reputation, no one questioned you whether you take the imperial examination or not, is there no need for this?"

"Your Majesty, a gentleman cannot stand without trust. I must take the exam."

Li Shimin sighed and said, "I don't hide it from you. Some people from the Ministry of Rites have been reporting memorials these days. Some say that it is inappropriate for you to participate in the imperial examination, and some say that you want to change the rules of the imperial examination. I can see that there is a shadow of Shandong gentry behind it. The imperial examination, from the previous dynasty to today, has certain rules, and it is too troublesome to change it. If you participate in the imperial examination, they will definitely do their best to stop it. I am not worried about your talent, but it is easy to avoid hidden arrows and difficult to prevent it. If you lose Jingzhou carelessly, it will also damage your reputation and increase their morale."

"And if you say that you will win the top scorer in Chang and Zhengji. This is a bit too big. The saints are so rich that they are so scattered. If you have to make things difficult for you, you may not be able to resist it. I have another worry, because they are afraid that they will reveal the questions to the outside world in order to stop you. I am planning to select a few available people. Li Mu, do you understand what I mean?"

Li Mu pondered silently, and he understood what Li Shimin meant. Now the Ministry of Rites is almost controlled by Shandong geniuses, and all officials of all sizes have a close relationship with the clans. Li Mu himself said too much and made a big statement to win the top scorer. If he was allowed to become, Shandong scholars would be faceless. So they would try their best to stop Li Mu, and even took risks to reveal the questions to other students. This is something they could do, and Li Shimin could not stop them. They didn't care who was the top scorer. As long as it was not Li Mu, they would win.

Li Shimin was eager to promote a group of young talents and consolidate the foundation of the court, so he wanted to advise Li Mu not to participate in the imperial examination and let the imperial examination go as usual.

Li Mu could naturally give up because his status and reputation at this time were far beyond everything that the top scholar could bring. Sun Fujia, the top scholar in the Wude period, is now just a Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and is only a fourth-rank. Li Mu is now the chief minister of the third-rank Office of the Internal Affairs Office, in charge of the treasury and the imperial property, and in charge of the Ministry of Works, and is already on par with the six ministers of the Ministry of Commerce.

There is actually not much difference between more top scorers and less top scorers.

But Li Mu still couldn't resist this tone in his heart. Why did he have to take a step back? After coming to Chang'an, he never retreated in the battle with the aristocratic families. Why did he have to retreat this time?

Don't retreat!
