Datang: God-level son-in-law, salted fish will become stronger

"Okay." Cheng Yaojin sat aside, ignored Tashi, and poured himself a drink.

Tashi glanced at Cheng Yaojin helplessly, and continued to count the corn, but fortunately all the wine just sprayed on his clothes.

Thinking of this, Tashi seemed to smell the stench of Cheng Yaojin's booger coming from his clothes, and couldn't help but groan.

Then, he murmured and counted again, "8003, 8004, 8005..."

"wrong!"

Cheng Yaojin stared at Tashi, and suddenly shouted loudly.

This sound startled Tashi, who was concentrating on it, and nearly lost his soul.

"General, what do you want!"

"You have already counted 8003. If you count 8003 again, is it equivalent to taking an extra grain of corn from our Datang? Let everyone judge."

"Messenger Tashi! Isn't it! I took too much! Our Datang is a grain of corn!"

Cheng Yaojin shouted at the top of his voice, calling all the civil and military personnel over.

"Knowledge, what happened."

"What's the matter, Zhijie who bullied you."

"Whoever dares to rob me of Datang's corn, I will chop him up with one knife."

The civil and military ministers, who had drunk a lot of wine, gathered towards Tashi with stray steps.

Tashi looked at the corn that had just been counted and was kicked away in an instant, wanting to cry without tears.

Sin!

God why do you torture me like this.

......

When the first ray of sunlight entered the Hall of Liangyi, Li Er and all the civil and military officials woke up faintly.

Last night, they drank too much and slept in the Liangyi Hall, and stayed with Tashi for a night.

Tashi's face was pale, his eyes were dark and sleepy, and his arms mechanically pushed the corn on the ground.

It wasn't that he didn't want to sleep, Li Er sent a team of Qianniu guards to watch him in turn, and as long as he dared to sleep, he would immediately break up the corn and let him count again.

After counting all night, Tashi spent the entire night stuck in the 14th grid, 8192 grains of corn, no matter how he counted, he couldn't count them.

"Messenger Tashi, how is the count?" Li Er stood up, looked at Tashi, and said quietly.

If he hadn't had nothing to do yesterday, and asked Qin Mu how many grains of corn would be needed to fill the 64 grids, he would not have known.

That was a number that Li Erlian had never thought about, and the corn needed could no longer be measured in deniers.

Not to mention Datang, even if all the food in the world was emptied, it would not be enough for Tubo.

Tashi is really too insidious, and Li Er's teeth are itching to hate him.

Isn't it clear that coming to Datang to show off IQ?But luckily Qin Mu was there, otherwise Datang would be really ashamed.

Seeing Tashi's appearance, Li Er became very angry.

Although the war between the two countries has not yet come, Tashi's behavior has already touched Li Er's bottom line.

Li Erduan will not let Tashi or Tubo go easily.

"Your Majesty..." Tashi threw away the corn in his hand, knelt down on the ground, his face full of grievances, "Your Majesty... the envoy is wrong, the envoy is really wrong, please let the envoy go, don't Let the envoy count the corn again."

He spoke, his words choked up.

"Humph..." Li Er flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly, walked forward like a tiger, and said in a deep voice: "You, Tubo, use the excuse of visiting the upper kingdom to do things like rats, and you want to play with me in the palm of your hand several times. Do you really think I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, have a good temper!"

"Cuju competitions, herdsmen dividing cattle, wooden trays begging for rice, you see for yourself, all these piles, one piece, bloody, which one is not here to plot against me and the Tang Dynasty."

"Li Jing!"

"The end is here!"

"The whole army prepares for war..."

Before Li Er finished speaking, Tashi rushed to Li Er's body, and said heartbreakingly: "Your Majesty, you must not, you must not..."

Tashi really didn't expect that the matter would come to this point. Originally they wanted to show off in front of Li Er, but they didn't expect to touch the tiger's whiskers.

Although Datang's destruction of 20 Turkic cavalry took advantage of the time, location, and harmony of people, Datang's current strength cannot be underestimated.

Moreover, as a Tubo envoy, he paid homage to Shangguo, but caused a war and returned to Tubo. It was not him who stinks, but the whole Tubo.

Tashi continued to beg, "Compensation, Your Majesty, I, Tubo, are willing to make compensation, and I hope you will stop your anger and save the people of the two countries from the suffering of war..."

Hearing this, most of Li Er's anger dissipated. He didn't even intend to really fight. The defeat of East Turkic was purely due to Qin Mu's efforts to turn the tide. Now the national power of the Tang Dynasty can't support a big battle.

"Hmph..." Li Er snorted coldly, pulled his legs and turned around, lowered his eyes and said: "If you Tubo don't give me a reasonable explanation, this matter must not be settled so easily."

Tashi hurried forward and said anxiously: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the envoy will write the letter and send it back to Tibet, and let Zanpu decide it himself. Before Zanpu replies, the envoy is willing to pledge it to Datang."

When the matter got to this point, Tashi could only let Zanpu decide, and these problems were deliberately arranged by Zanpu, he was just a backer.

at the same time.

Li Er turned to Qin Mu who was sitting upright beside him, and said in a deep voice, "Qin Mu, the Cuju competition, the herdsmen's distribution of cattle, and the three problems of begging for rice on wooden trays were all solved by you. view."

Qin Mu's face was indifferent, and he pondered: "This matter is entirely up to His Majesty to decide, and I have no opinion."

All he cares about is breaking the game. As for the ending, whether it's a war or peace, he doesn't care.

Li Er nodded, then looked at Tashi, and said in a deep voice: "Li Junxian, send the Tashi envoy back to the post house, let him write a book for Tubo Zanpu, and give me a reasonable explanation for Datang."

"The humble leader."

"By the way, bring these two bags of corn to the Tashi envoy. This is what Tubo bought with three thousand sheep and one thousand cows. I will never take advantage of him in vain."

"Impossible to take orders."

Tashi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed deeply, "Thank you for your majesty's grace."

This catastrophe is finally over, he never wants to touch corn in his life, so much that he feels sick when he sees it.

Immediately afterwards, all the Chinese, military and military officials in the hall dispersed, and stayed overnight in the Liangyi Hall. Today's morning court is nothing more than that.

Chapter 125 Qin Mu's Request

Hall of Liangyi.

All the officials were gone, and a group of eunuchs were cleaning up the messy hall.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Qin Mu and the others stood in front of the hall.

Li Er looked at Qin Mu with joy on his face, this time Datang was able to successfully turn defeat into victory under Tubo's malicious difficulties.

Among them, Qin Mu was the first.

"Qin Mu, tell me, what reward do you want, as long as it is not too much, I will agree to it."

Li Er was extremely generous when he was happy.

Changsun Wuji stood aside, with a smile on his face, echoed: "Mu'er, your majesty's reward, you can just ask for it, don't save money for your majesty."

He was afraid that Qin Mu would act like he had no desires and needs again, and wanted something that was not painful or itchy.

Li Er glanced at Changsun Wuji, he was really protective of the calf.

Don't forget to say a few words when asking for a reward.

Qin Mu stepped forward and saluted, and said lightly: "Your Majesty, I do have one thing to ask for your permission."

Li Er waved his big hand and said indifferently: "But it's okay to say."

Qin Mu responded, "I want the half-constructed abandoned garden in the south of Chang'an City."

Hearing this, Li Er frowned, "Abandoned garden? Why didn't I know when there was an abandoned garden in Nancheng?"

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Changsun Wuji.

Paused.

The eldest grandson Wuji stepped forward and murmured, "Mu'er, are you talking about the ruined Jinxiu Villa that was half built by Prince Yin?"

Qin Mu nodded, "That's right, it's there."

"Splendid Villa..." Li Er's face was gloomy, and he stood up in deep thought, feeling a little dissatisfied in his heart.

Seeing that Qin Mu was usually honest and honest, he just had some money in his hands, some status in the court, and made some achievements, so he began to be content with pleasure.

Li Er stared at Qin Mu, lowered his eyes and said, "Qin Mu, do you know the scale and luxury of this Jinxiu Villa?"

Jinxiu Villa is the complex of palaces built by Prince Yin Li Jiancheng in Chang'an City.

However, he claimed that it was built for Li Yuan.

The project of Jinxiu Villa is quite large and cost a lot of money. The top garden masters in the Jiangnan area were invited to design it.

Although it has been abandoned, you can still feel the Langyuan Qionglou of Jinxiu Villa, Shuimu Tsinghua, searching for magic, winding paths leading to secluded places...

Li Er is quite coveted there.

However, he has just ascended the throne, and there is a lot of waste waiting to be done, internal and external troubles, now let alone the construction of the palace, even the renovation of the palaces in the palace has been stopped by him.

How can Datang have spare money to do those things.

Qin Mu looked at Li Er calmly, and said lightly, "I know."

"Know?" Li Er snorted coldly, and said angrily: "Then you still dare to ask me for Jinxiu Villa? I admit that you have made immortal contributions to the Tang Dynasty, and I also recognize your literary and military strategies, but this is not you Money to do whatever you want."

"Do you know why I keep Jinxiu Villa abandoned there? I just want the people in the world to see that I am not a foolish king who is content with pleasure, wastes money and spends money on building things."

"What even I dare not take over, are you, Qin Mu, really qualified to take over?"

"I originally thought you were a good boy who was sensible, right from wrong, good from evil, but now you can't keep your heart and start messing around."

Li Eryue said more and more angry, as if he hated iron but not steel.

"Mu'er, although what your Majesty said is a bit serious, you have to understand the truth." Changsun Wuji followed suit, and he never thought that Qin Mu would make such a big request, "You still don't want to go to Jinxiu Villa. Come on, it looks like a forest of wine pools and meat, but the fairyland on earth is actually a hell on earth that invades and corrupts you."

"My lord Changsun is right. The Splendid Villa cannot continue to be built. It will be a waste of money and people."

"My son-in-law's request is indeed too much."

"This is not like the son-in-law's style. He has never been interested in it."

Several humerus ministers beside Li Er also persuaded him.

Only Qin Mu in the hall remained calm and unmoved, turning a deaf ear to what Li Er and the other ministers said.

Qin Mu stared at Li Er, unhurriedly, and muttered, "Your Majesty, this Jinxiu Villa is not for me."

"It's not for you?" Li Er snorted disdainfully, "Don't make excuses, isn't it for you or for Xiangcheng?"

Qin Mu nodded, "Exactly."

"What!" Li Er was startled, and scolded: "Nonsense! In order to help the victims, Xiangcheng pawned all the gold and silver jewelry given to her by her mother, but you told me that you were begging for her of!"

"Qin Mu, if you continue to talk nonsense like this, don't blame me for punishing you."

Changsun Wuji hurriedly followed, "Mu'er, just tell me what you have, there are no outsiders in this hall."

Xiangcheng wanted this Jinxiu Villa, but Changsun Wuji didn't believe it either.

Qin Mu said in a calm manner, "I really asked for this Jinxiu Villa for Xiangcheng, but it was not for the two of us to indulge in extravagance and enjoy ourselves."

"Your Majesty does not know that Xiangcheng is secretly preparing to build a private school, a private school that is open to the children of soldiers who died for the country for free."

"Confucius has a saying: There is no discrimination in education. The sons and young ladies of those aristocratic families can sit in the greenhouse, holding sage books in their hands, and receive education."

"And these children of the heroes of the Tang Dynasty, why can they only sell their young labor for their livelihoods and work hard? This is too unfair to them. Their families were already torn apart by the Tang Dynasty, but we watched them suffer The injustice of fate."

"Since this matter is to be done, it should be open and aboveboard, and open a school in an open and dignified manner. Do these children of soldiers who died for the country have to be sneaky when they go to private schools?"

"They are not worthy of studying? They are not worthy of the imperial examination? They are not worthy of being the parents of the Tang Dynasty? Why! I just can't do it."

What Qin Mu said was convincing and resounding.

After hearing his remarks, Li Er and the others were speechless in shock. They had thought about Qin Mu's various reasons, but they did not expect him to have such a reason.

Li Er looked at Qin Mu in shock, and said in a daze, "Qin Mu, what do you mean, you want to turn Jinxiu Villa into an academy? An academy that provides free education for the children of soldiers who died for the country in the Tang Dynasty?"

Qin Mu's eyes were firm, and he said in a deep voice, "That's right, a really poor college."
