Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Looking at Chu Mo's leaving figure, Zhang Taixin clenched his fists, but there was nothing he could do.

When the generals around him saw this, they hurriedly gathered around him and said, "Sir, that kid Chu Mo is really going too far. Do you want the brothers to find a chance to help you vent your anger?"

Zhang Taixin shook his head: "No, we can't afford to offend him now, so you all should stay calm and take revenge when you have the chance in the future."

Chu Mo didn't have the slightest intention to steal people's things. When he saw Zhang San and others ordering everyone, he led the horse towards Shiweitian.

"Sir, this is General Zhang's horse. He is usually very precious. I wonder how you got it?"

Zhang San and Li Si on the side saw Chu Mo holding the horse and stepped forward to ask.

Chu Mo chuckled: "No, I see that the horse's spiritual sense is extraordinary, and I'm just borrowing it for a few days."

Zhang San, Li Si and others looked like they were lying to you.

"Then Sir, why don't you try riding on it?"

Chu Mo coughed dryly. Could he say that he didn't know how to ride a horse because he was afraid of making a fool of himself by riding one?

Of course not.

"Ahem, well, I like to lead my horse shopping. This is called horse walking, do you know?"

Several people looked like they suddenly realized something and listened to Chu Mo's nonsense.

Not long after, everyone arrived at Shiweitian.

Chu Mo asked Zhang San and Li Si to guard the gate of Shiweitian with 20 soldiers.

He also asked shopkeeper Liu to arrange for Wang Wu and Zhao Liu to take the remaining people to the warehouse to guard them.

At this time, in the Jinluan Hall, Li Shimin hurriedly ended his morning court, changed into casual clothes, and prepared to go to Shiweitian with Li Junxian and Wang Dehai.

Just as he was leaving the house, he met Changsun Wuji at the gate of the palace.

"Your Majesty, are you?"

Changsun Wuji heard yesterday that his sister, Queen Changsun, said that His Majesty has been unusual these days, and he even had dinner in Concubine Yang's palace yesterday.

This was somewhat beyond Changsun Wuji's expectations.

You know, since Li Shimin ascended the throne, he has never been to Concubine Yang, let alone stayed for a meal.

Changsun Wuji was worried that Li Shimin was soft-hearted and was bewitched by Concubine Yang, thus reusing old ministers of the previous dynasty, which would cause dissatisfaction among the ministers in the court, so he prepared to return to the palace to find Li Er to inquire about it.

Li Shimin didn't feel anything when he was bumped into by Changsun Wuji. Before he became emperor, he always wandered around Chang'an City every day. Now he only leaves the palace once in a while, which is not a big deal.

"Wuji, I have some important things to do today. If you have anything, we can discuss it another day."

"Then your Majesty doesn't know what to do? Can you tell me?"

Li Shimin thought for a while and then said: "I got an invitation a few days ago and today I am going to a banquet at a place called Shiweitian."

When Changsun Wuji heard this, he immediately understood: "But that restaurant that auctioned grain a few days ago?"

Li Shimin was not surprised that Changsun Wuji knew about Shiweitian's grain auction. After all, as long as he was not deaf, he could find out about such a big matter with just a little inquiry after so many days.

So he nodded: "Wuji said that's right. I just accepted the appointment of the shopkeeper of the restaurant and went over to take a look."

"In that case, can your majesty take Wei Chen with him? Wei Chen also wants to see who has such a big hand that can make several big families bleed."

Li Shimin smiled slightly: "Since Wuji you are also curious, I will bring you one."

At this time, at the gate of Shiweitian, people from several aristocratic families had already arrived.

The waiter at the door was checking the invitations one by one, catching those who wanted to fish in troubled waters and driving them away.

This was also Chu Mo’s special order.

He had specially invited these aristocratic families and some dignitaries to a banquet today.

If you let people who don't know anything sneak in, it will very likely interrupt your plan.

When Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji arrived, most people had already entered the restaurant.

Although the waiter had met Li Shimin before, his uncle had something big to do today, and he had specifically told him that he was not allowed to enter without an invitation.

Therefore, when he saw Li Shimin and his people were about to walk in, he hurriedly stopped him: "Second Master Li, please show me your invitation."

Li Shimin told Chu Mo that he was in charge of Li Erlang, so the waiter called him Li Erlang directly.

Seeing that he was asked for an invitation when he entered, Li Shimin's face immediately turned red: "Well, when I went out just now, I left in a hurry and forgot to bring it with me. Could you please be accommodating?"

The waiter was originally waiting respectfully for Li Er to take out the invitation. When he heard that the other party did not have an invitation, he immediately turned his head faster than flipping through a book. He looked at Li Er with a look of disgust and said:

"No, my uncle said that without an invitation, even if the emperor comes, he can't put it in."

Li Shimin? ? ?It seemed that he was specifically targeted.

Look at these words, they are all mentioned by name.

Changsun Wuji on the side was also dumbfounded, who is this?He is so awesome that the servants below dare to point their fingers in His Majesty's face and say that they will not let him in.

His face immediately darkened, and he stepped forward to argue with the waiter.

Li Shimin hurriedly stopped Changsun Wuji and said to the waiter: "Then can you please go in and say hello to your uncle, and tell me that his eldest brother Li Erlang is here."

The waiter rolled his eyes, then raised his head slightly and looked sideways at the sky, as if I didn't hear him.

Although Li Shimin was furious, he was afraid of Yang Hongyu and did not dare to make any move.

Just when several people were embarrassed, Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin, who had returned home and changed into casual clothes after the court, happened to come over with their servants.

Seeing Li Shimin being stopped at the door, the two of them stepped forward to salute.

Li Shimin, with quick eyesight and quick hands, stopped the two of them and said, "You don't need to be so polite outside."

After hearing this, the two of them cupped their hands and called out, "Second Master."

Li Er nodded: "Did you bring invitations?"

Cheng Yaojin nodded: "I brought it with me. Why, Second Master, that boy Chu Mo didn't send you an invitation?"

Li Er's face turned red again and he coughed dryly: "I gave it, but I was in a hurry and forgot it at home."

The two of them looked like they knew something: "Then why don't you go in with us?"

After checking the invitations of Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin, the waiter guarding the door said directly: "My uncle said that the restaurant's space is limited, and only two people can enter at most with one invitation."

The meaning of these words was obviously for Li Er and his party.

Cheng Yaojin and Li Jing got the invitation early and knew the rules, so they both knew the servant this time.

Not only did Li Shimin have no invitations, but four people came with him.

Therefore, the waiter could tell at a glance that the man who said the invitation was left at home must be a lie.

After being reminded by Xiao Eryi, everyone looked at Li Shimin again and felt that something was wrong.
