Chapter 708: An Inexplicable Temptation


The huge team drove out of Chang'an, like a winding dragon in the Weinan area of Pingyuan Huanhuan, the emperor came to Xingli Mountain, this is the first time since Zhenguan.

But the strange thing is that there was no welcome scene along the way, except for a few pedestrians who were expelled from the official road on the side of the road, and Li Muyun, the landlord of Xiaoyao County, only brought a few people to squat on the side of the road to greet him.

Such a situation greatly surprised everyone, Yu Wenshi and a few other ministers who came from the former Sui Toucheng immediately rushed up from behind, stopped Li Er's car to show his loyalty: "Your Majesty, King Xiaoyao knows that His Majesty is in Xingli Mountain, but he is so simple, he is clearly having two hearts, I hope Your Majesty will act carefully, if it is possible, it is better to return to Chang'an." ” Li Shimin didn't take this matter to heart, but when he was mentioned by a few people, he couldn't help muttering in his heart, and he glanced at the eunuch Lao Long quietly, and waved his hand at Yu Wenshi and the others, signaling them to go back.

Yu Wenshi and the others glanced at each other, said goodbye and left, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in their hearts.

In their opinion, it doesn't matter whether they can pit Li Muyun or not, the important thing is that this time the loyalty did not attract the attention of the emperor, which was indeed a bit unexpected to them.

But what they didn't know was that just after they left, a fast horse galloped out from the front and headed in the direction of Lishan.

And in Li Er's carriage, Empress Eldest Sun also frowned a little uncertainly and asked, "Your Majesty, do you think Li Muyun will have two hearts?"

Li Shimin shook his head and said with great certainty: "This won't do, it is estimated that the kid doesn't know the etiquette of greeting at all, so he is so slow." ” "Then Your Majesty will continue to go to Lishan," asked a beautiful woman on the other side of Empress Changsun.

Li Shimin smiled slightly: "Concubine Yang doesn't know, then Li Muyun is a very smart person, and he will never do anything rebellious, so you don't have to worry about the safety of this trip." ” "But in that case, why did Your Majesty send someone to pass on the audience of the King of Ease," the woman called Concubine Yang asked with some puzzlement.

Li Shimin showed a mysterious smile, and paused before saying: "The journey is lonely, I just want to see what kind of tricks this kid will use to deal with me, and I should have some fun." ” This is really embarrassing, even Empress Changsun looked at Li Er's gaze a little weird, as an emperor, he actually used such a method to joke with his courtiers, is he emulating King Zhou You After thinking about it, he was a little uncertain, but seeing that Li Shimin seemed to have made up his mind, so no one from Empress Changsun and Concubine Yang said anything, just quietly waited for the development of things, if the situation was really wrong, it would not be too late to persuade them.

Nearly an hour later, the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, two fast horses galloped towards the dragon-like procession, and after a short time they had already crossed the escort team in front of them and came to Li Er's carriage, one of the young men jumped off the horse and bowed down to Li Er's carriage: "Minister Li Muyun, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live." ” "Get up, get in the car and talk."

Li Shimin sat in the carriage and gave a faint order.

"No" Li Muyun straightened up, climbed into the carriage, and saw that Concubine Yang of the eldest grandson was there, and immediately smiled and saluted: "The younger brother has seen two imperial sisters-in-law, and the imperial sister-in-law is auspicious." ” Empress Eldest Sun glared at Li Muyun, and said angrily: "Just your poor mouth, sit down." ” "Hey, thank you, sister-in-law."

Li Muyun touched his nose and sat diagonally opposite Li Shimin with a smile.

"Wait a while, Wuji and Xuanling will also come over in a while."

Li Shimin waited for him to sit down, and then said unhurriedly.

As a result, as soon as the words fell, the voices of the eldest grandson Wuji and others already sounded outside, and then they saw the old eldest grandson, Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and others rushing in, all with unhappy faces, as if someone owed them tens of thousands of dollars.

If Li Muyun didn't know that something was aimed at him at this time, he would be a bit of an idiot, so after a few people got into the car, he didn't wait for them to open his mouth and took the initiative to ask: "I said what happened to you, who owes you money?"

"King Xiaoyao, I only want to ask you, Your Majesty is in Xingli Mountain, where is the team you greeted" Wei Zheng had a dark face, but he didn't hide it at all, and directly put the question in front of Li Muyun.

Li Muyun, who originally thought that he had caused some trouble, was suddenly stunned by the question, looked around, and said with a white face after a while: "You and the team I want to greet are laborers under my hands, except for migrant workers, it is a laborer, where do you ask me to find the team to greet me, it is difficult to get a bunch of ragged beggars to kneel on the side of the road."

"Uh, this" Fang Xuanling glanced at Li Shimin, saw that the emperor didn't say anything, and turned his head and asked: "Even if there is no team to greet you, then there should always be other etiquette."

"What else is there?"

asked Li Muyun in confusion.

The eldest grandson Wuji reminded on the side: "Loess mat road, clear water splashing street." ” Now Li Muyun finally figured out what these guys meant, and at the moment his nose was not a nose, his face was not a face, and he said: "I said that you old people are making fun of me today, it's a cement road outside, where do you need any loess mat road, clear water splashing the street, and the ground is full of mud, don't you need to clean it up, I really don't understand what you have in your head, you can't use your brain when you encounter something." ” At this time, even the eldest Sun Wuji was a little speechless, and several old men looked at Li Er together, as if asking for his opinion.

In fact, Li Shimin didn't know what to say at this time, and was hesitating, but he heard someone outside to visit: "Chenyu scribe and visit" came to the rescue, Li Shimin smiled slightly, and immediately ordered someone to call Yu Wenshi into the carriage.

Yu Wenshi had just heard Li Muyun's speech outside the carriage, and after sitting down, he directly asked: "King Xiaoyao, what kind of attitude do you have, the so-called etiquette cannot be abolished, Your Majesty's travel is a great etiquette, you can't just stop it because you're afraid of trouble, you have to put Your Majesty in your eyes."

Li Muyun looked at Yu Wenhua, sneered in his heart, pouted and said: "Your Majesty respects it in your heart, not to scare people with your mouth, you open your mouth Your Majesty, shut your Majesty, have you really considered it for Your Majesty" Yu Wenhua is also a master, he didn't take the hat that Li Muyun deducted to him to heart, but said with a righteous and awe-inspiring voice: "Honest and unreasonable, who in the world doesn't know the power of your sophistry of King Yao, this time it is clear that you didn't take Your Majesty to heart, and you were deliberately slow, but now you have to use specious theories to fool through, is it true that everyone in the world is a fool."

If Li Shimin was the kind of emperor who listened to and believed in it, Li Muyun would have already disarmed and surrendered at this time.

But Li Muyun knew better than anyone who Li Er was, so he also didn't take Yu Wenhua's words to heart, and even ignored him, just turned his head to look at Li Shimin, and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty still remembers Wei Yuan's early admonitions":
