Chapter 514
Li Mu smiled and said, "I'm just wondering why the Supreme Emperor does such a thing. Is the level of his origin important? No matter how high a clan comes from, isn't the world still earned by Li Tang? Why bother with a warm face and a cold butt?"
"In fact, this is also a helpless move." Wang Ou explained: "The five surnames and seven hopes are all Han surnames. The Han people in the world are more or less connected, and they can be connected to these five surnames. The attitude of the five surnames and seven hopes can basically represent the Han people in the world. If the royal family is of the Hu people's blood, it will once again trigger the confrontation between Hu and Han during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. If this is true, how can the world be governed?"
"So the Supreme Emperor's choice back then was very correct. Even if it was far-fetched and criticized, he would have to classify the royal family into the Han surname. Even if there were still discussions among the people within one or two generations, but in a hundred years, such discussions would be very little, and they would even be forgotten and no one mentioned them. By then, the fakes would become true."
Li Mu frowned and said, "But why is it the Li clan of Longxi? The Li clan of Zhao County is also surnamed Li, and I have contacted people from the Li clan of Zhao County. They give me a very negotiated feeling. If I rely on the Li clan of Zhao County, I think they should agree."
"That's it..." Wang Ou recalled and said, "I also heard a saying that some people have verified that the royal family may have been expelled from the party of the Li family of Zhao County in the late Eastern Jin Dynasty, crossed the Yangtze River and defected to the Former Qin Dynasty, and lived with the Hu tribe, which formed today's royal family. If this is true, then it would make sense for the Supreme Emperor to not choose the Li family of Zhao County in the past."
"Besides, the royal family made their fortunes in Longxi, and they have been in Longxi for many years. Longxi is also in the place where Hu and Han intersect, which makes it easier to explain. Moreover, in terms of strength, the Li family in Longxi is much better than the Li family in Zhaojun. When the Li Tang Dynasty launched its troops, the Li family in Longxi also made a lot of efforts."
Wang Ou analyzed it well, and suddenly saw Li Mu staring at her with an unexpected look on his face. He couldn't help but feel shy and said angrily: "What are you watching?"
"I just realized today that my little baby is actually a female Zhuge. Everyone says that the queen is as smart as a man. In my opinion, my little baby is not inferior!"
"No, I'm just a little crazy. I'm just a little older. If the husband doesn't like it, I won't say it anymore."
Li Mu hugged Wang Ou and smiled and said, "How could I not like it? It's too late for me to like it. I wish everyone in the world knew that my woman was a talented woman. Such an excellent woman, no one loves such an excellent woman, and she only likes me so that they can envy her."
Wang Ou was originally a reserved person and didn't like others to praise her on weekdays. But after hearing Li Mu's praise, she was very helpful and wished that she would not stop talking about her sweet words and say her good things in a different way.
Li Mu shook Wang Ou's hand and said, "Ou, I have something else to do, I want to discuss it with you."
Wang Ou was so dizzy that she was praised. Without thinking, she said, "What's the matter? You say, I will respond to you in everything."
"That's great!" Li Mu smiled and said, "I'm just worried that you will not agree. But you respond to me if you say anything, so you are not allowed to refuse. I want you to work in the Office of the Internal Affairs and serve as the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau. This is a sixth-rank official."
Wang Ou thought he had heard it wrong, frowned and looked at Li Mu, reminding him: "My husband, I am a woman, how can I become an official?"
"Why can't it be?" Li Mu asked back: "There are regulations in the court codes that say that women cannot be officials?"
Seeing that Wang Ou couldn't answer, Li Mu said again: "Even if there is a law that stipulates that a woman cannot be an official, she will not be in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I have an appointment with Your Majesty first. As long as I am the general minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for one day, the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be determined by me no matter how big or small. I can appoint anyone who wants to appoint anyone. If anyone raises an objection, it's great, let him come for me, and I'll go home to farm!"
Wang Ou smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Lang, you are already eighteen years old after the Chinese New Year, so you can no longer be a child."
"Why am I a child?" Li Mu said unconvincedly: "If you don't doubt people, you don't need to doubt people. Your Majesty often talks about it. It's not that it's hypocritical, right? Anyway, I only use people who I think are suitable, and you are not the only female official in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. For example, the director of the Sales Bureau is your good sister, Princess Yin Zheng Guanyin, and the director of the Patent Bureau. I want to appoint Wei Yingluo to do it. These are all candidates that I think are suitable and safe."
Seeing Wang Ou say something else, Li Mu said first: "Ou, just treat it as helping me. The Industrial and Commercial Bureau is the top priority of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It is a person who is proficient in business and can make me absolutely feel at ease. I can't think of a second person who meets these two conditions except you. We are in the same yamen, so it's convenient to meet, right?" Li Mu acted coquettishly: "Ou, my good baby, just agree to me. Didn't you agree just now?"
Seeing Li Mu like this, Wang Ou felt guilty. Li Mu trusted her so much, but she was doing something that made him feel heartbroken. Wang Ou looked at Li Mu's eyes, pursed her lips, and couldn't help asking: "Lang, in your heart, do you really think I am a person who can be completely trusted?"
Li Mu frowned and said strangely: "Isn't it?"
"You are my wife. If I don't trust you, who else can I trust?"
A word made Wang Ou unable to hold back her tears and threw herself into Li Mu's arms and started crying. Li Mu's face was full of inexplicableness. He knew nothing about what Wang Ou did behind her back and had no way to tell her. He could only think that she was so moved that she cried.
But why was moved, he was still confused.
After comforting for a while, Wang Ou finally calmed down and nodded vigorously, "Since you trust me, I will do my best to do my best to live up to your expectations."
"That's right." Li Mu became happy. He knew a little about Wang Ou's ability. Wang Ou could definitely take responsibility for the position of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. In terms of employment, Li Mu no matter what selflessness or selflessness, he likes to be nepotist. Whoever likes to say whatever he likes to say, he has a good cost. As long as he has the final say in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he has to act arbitrarily for one day and will not let it go. At worst, he can farm.
Li Mu gently held Wang Ou's waist, put his chin on her shoulders, and muttered, "Actually, I didn't drink the wine last night. The Urban Management Brigade was better, and those kids were a little dandy, but after training, the habits of the playboys had been much less. But the Jinyiwei was really worried. Guess what, haha, I originally wanted to recruit a group of people to do business for the Office of the Internal Affairs, but so, I attracted a group of meticulous works! They were all scattered, and I don't know which force it was. They were like flies, surrounding the Office of the Internal Affairs, just waiting to find a crack!"
Wang Ou was shocked when she heard this, so she carefully glanced at Li Mu's face and asked, "Did you guess what kind of force it is?"
"If I could guess, I would have come to the door long ago!" Li Mu said angrily: "What I hate the most is these villains who use tricks behind their backs! The saint is cloudy, the gentleman is open and honest! If you have the gong and drum in front of you, everyone will set up a formation to fight. Whoever has the strength wins, the winner will take all of them, so how happy it is! You have to do some small moves, hum!"
Li Mu curled his lips and said, "Ow, I might as well say a big talk. I don't take these people who use tricks seriously." He spread his hands and said, "Why do these people use tricks? Are they not capable yet? If you want to covet the good things of my Office of the Internal Affairs, they think that they can succeed by installing a few people?" Li Mu pointed to his head and said, "The most valuable things in the Office of the Internal Affairs are all in my head. On the surface, they are just fur. It is not possible to do things in accordance with the same way. You must have a brain, change with the situation, adapt to the situation, and only understand the meaning but not the reason. What's the use?"
Although Li Mu's words were to detract from the person who put eyeliners around him, Wang Ou himself also included. Moreover, after Li Mu's words, it seemed that he was not afraid of eyeliners at all, which made Wang Ou somewhat discouraged. In this way, everything she did was useless.
"What do you want to do? Evicted them all?"
"Why are you expelling?" Li Mu smiled and said, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has become a piece of fat. It's better to keep them, so as to avoid the trouble of going around. And you have to think so. Those who can be sent to do fine work are definitely not ordinary people. They are all talents. Even if I have time to cultivate them, I can't cultivate such suitable talents in a short time? I have to keep them, let them work for me, drive them, and be a cow and horse! When the time comes, let me know who is behind me. I will use the knife they handed over and stab them back with my backhand. No one can think of it!"
Wang Ou could hear the murderous aura in Li Mu's words, and knew that this incident had touched Li Mu's sensitive nerves. He was so angry that he was so angry. Now he was too late to regret. Wang Ou sighed in his heart and comforted him: "Your husband will calm down. It will be dawn in two hours. It's better to go to bed early."
"Yes, why am I angry with this? I don't know who the partner is." Li Mu smiled foolishly, took Wang Ou and kissed him, and said, "Go to bed. I will get up early tomorrow. I will send my brother Li Siwen to see him off. He is going to set off for Dingxiang. I have to explain some things to him, otherwise this kid is irritable and may ruin big things."
"Yes," Wang Ou nodded, snuggled in Li Mu's arms, closed her eyes, and whispered: "I woke up early, and then I'll ask my husband to get up."
It was dawn in a blink of an eye. Under Wang Ou's service, Li Mu washed his face and rinsed his mouth and ate breakfast. After changing his clothes that Wang Ou prepared for him, he became a handsome and elegant young man who was handsome and elegant in the wind. Since the tiger fur was burned, Li Mu's dressing style has improved a lot, at least it is not the wild style of fur, but it looks like a normal Chinese in the Central Plains.
Li Mu said goodbye to Wang Ou, and rode his horse to the Duke of England's mansion. As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw cars of various specifications parked all over the streets and was constantly moving things out of the mansion. The caravan brought back by Li Siwen was empty after unloading the goods. When he left, he didn't know when he bought them, and they were all full again.
"Brother, I'm here!"
When Li Siwen saw Li Mu coming, he climbed into a car and waved to him. Li Mu was worried that he would fall down and quickly shouted: "Be careful, what's the thing in that car? Can you step on it? Don't fall down!"
Li Siwen jumped out of the car and said, "It's all your brother and sister's clothes. Brother, look, is this a good thing? A big car! There must be hundreds of pieces. Fortunately, it's a dowry from the Qin Mansion. If I spend my money, I..."
"What do you think?"
The voice came from behind, and Li Siwen quickly changed his tone and said seriously: "Brother, I was just kidding you. We have a great career, are there still a few pieces of clothes? It's too late to leave, otherwise, according to my personality, I have to make a few hundred more pieces for my wife!"
After saying that, Li Siwen turned around and smiled: "My father-in-law, why did you get up so early? You are really a shame to your son-in-law. The son-in-law is planning to settle his things and go to his father-in-law's house to pay his respects!"
"Hmph!" Qin Qiong looked at Li Siwen with displeasure: "I am really a mistake and I promised my daughter to you! My daughter will be sleeping in the open and suffering in the open less than three days after marrying you. You can't bear to leave a few pieces of clothes, but I really say with a shameless look! Your father's character is not so good. I really can't figure out who did you learn from!"
Li Siwen naturally drifted his gaze to Li Mu, and Qin Qiong also followed Li Siwen's gaze and looked at Li Mu. Seeing that both the father-in-law and son-in-law were looking at him, Li Mu immediately stopped doing it and jumped off the horse and said, "We have to be reasonable. I didn't say anything here. Why is it my business? Everyone knows that I, Li Mu, regards money as dirt, and I just spend it casually. I don't even ask about it. Li Siwen is a stingy boy and has nothing to do with me. If you want to ask who you learned from... The son must have learned from my adoptive father, or the son will learn from my father-in-law or someone!"
Qin Qiong laughed and said, "This sharp mouth is indeed worthy of its reputation! Zhulu Hou, today I will say goodbye to their young couple. You have to hurry up what you promised me."
Li Mu was confused: "What's the matter?"
"Is it the matter of accepting my son Huaidao as his disciple and supporting him to the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"
"No!" Li Mu waved his hand quickly and said, "Duke Yiguo, we have to say this. I have promised to accept Qin Huaidao as my disciple, but it seems that I have never agreed to let him enter the Interior Office? The officials of the Interior Office have been studying at the Tang Technical School for several months, enduring hardships and becoming a master. He has not gone through this process and went directly to the Interior Office. How can he convince the public? I cannot agree to this matter. If he wants to enter the Interior Office, it depends on his own efforts. If he fails to do so, I will have no shortcut here!"
"Is there really no shortcut?"
Li Mu's head shook like a rattle and said, "There is no shortcut! If you want to enter the Internal Affairs Office, there are only two ways: either study at the Tang Dynasty Technical School or pass the imperial examination. The Internal Affairs Office must not be mediocre, let alone Qin Huaidao, even the crown prince and the King of Yue will have no mercy!"
