Life of the characters
To be an official
Li Mu claimed to be the descendant of Li Ling, the commander of the Western Han Dynasty. After Li Ling surrendered to Xiongnu, his descendants lived in Beidi for generations. Later, the Xianbei people established a political power, and their families moved south with the Northern Wei regime and returned to live in the area of Jizhou and Longzhou. His grandfather, Li Bin, guarded Gaoping as a governor, so he made it his home.
Li Mu's demeanor is handsome and elegant, his spirit is high, and his manner is noble. In the third year of Yong'an (530), when Yu Wentai Juyi banner entered Hanguguan, Li Mu, then 20, followed him and was very trusted. Li Mu is careful and respectful, and dare not slack off. Yu Wentai praised him and asked him to accompany him in and out of the bedroom. At that time, no one could compare with him. After Hou Mo and Chen Yue killed he Bayue, Yu Wentai rushed from xiazhou to solve the problem, and Hou Mo and Chen Yue's followers occupied Yuanzhou. Yu Wentai ordered Hou Mo and Chen Chong to lead light cavalry to attack. In advance, Li Mu occupied the gate of the city with his elder brothers Li Xian, Li Yuan and others, met Hou Mo and Chen Chong, captured Shi GUI alive, and awarded the military service to the governor. Later, Li Mu captured Dou Tai alive, recovered Hongnong, and made great contributions.

Taizu grace heavy
In 538, Li Mu fought Gao Huan with Yu Wentai and won a great victory in Shayuan. Gao Huan abandoned his escape and abandoned 80000 soldiers. Yuwentai chased the river, selected more than 20000 soldiers and released the rest. Li Mu said: "Gao Huan has broken his courage. Now he can catch him if he pursues quickly." But Yu Wentai didn't listen to him. On the merits, Jin became Duke.
In August of the fourth year of Datong (538), Li Mu followed Yu Wentai to attack the army of the Eastern Wei Dynasty in Mangshan. Yu Wentai was frightened by the arrow in his horse, and he lost his way in front of the battle. The army was also disturbed. The commander Li Mu dismounted and gave the horse to Yu Wentai, and the morale of the army was restored. When Yu Wentai fell to the ground and was about to be overtaken by the soldiers of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, Yu Wentai was scattered from left to right at that time. At this time, Li Mu, the governor, dismounted and beat Yu Wentai on the back with a horsewhip, saying: "inferior Sergeant! Where is your Lord, and you want to stay here alone? " When the Eastern Wei army saw that Yu Wentai was abused and whipped, they thought he was not a noble man, so they abandoned them and continued to pursue him. Then Li Mu gave his horse to Yu Wentai, and both escaped. Before long, Yu Wentai and Li Mu wept and turned back to the officials and said, "this is the man who can accomplish my great cause." So he ordered Li mu'an to comfort Guanzhong. Where Li Mu went, he was immediately pacified. He was appointed as the general of Wuwei and the third division of Yitong. Jin was appointed as the Duke of Wu'an County, adding 1700 households of food.
After a long time, Yu Wentai praised Li Mu's ambition and integrity, and said: "what people value is only their own life. Li Mu can despise his own life and save me from danger. Even if he was promoted to a higher rank and rewarded with jade and silk, it would be hard to repay him. " Therefore, Li Mu was granted an iron certificate to forgive him for ten capital crimes.
Before long, Li Mu opened his office to administer affairs, and took the post of servant. At the beginning, Mang Mountain was defeated, and Li Mu gave the horse to Yu Wentai. Yu Wentai gave all the horse in the stable to Li Mu, and granted Li Mu's sisters the county king and the county king. His family had already been given various rewards.
After Li Mu became a servant, he followed Yu Jin to conquer Jiangling, and increased the number of households in the city, and became a general. He attacked and broke qumianman, and was granted the title of governor of Yuanzhou. Yu Wentai also granted Li Dun, Li Mu's son, as the third division of Yitong. Considering that Li Xian and Li Yuan, the two elder brothers, are meritorious officials, and many of their children are in important positions, Li Mu is deeply afraid of being too full, so he refuses, but Yu Wentai does not allow it. Soon after, Li Muqian was appointed governor of Yongzhou, and also served as the chief of Xiaozhong.

When yuwenhu was in power, Li Yuan, Li Mu's brother, and Li Zhi, Li Yuan's son, were all killed for murdering yuwenhu, the Regent of Jin Dynasty. Li Mu should be punished. Before that, Li Mu knew that Li Zhi was not a person who could protect his family. He repeatedly advised Li Yuan to get rid of him, but Li Yuan did not accept it. When he was dying, Li Yuan cried and said to Li Mu, "Xianqing, I don't listen to you, even to this point. What can I do?" As a result, Li Mu was saved from death, his name was removed, and he was demoted to the people. His children were also removed from office.
Li Zhi's younger brother, Li Ji, an assassin in Xizhou, should have been killed. Li Mu asks to exchange his two sons for Li Ji's life. Yu Wenhu thinks that Li Mu is benevolent and righteous, and releases their three uncles and nephews. Soon after, Yu Wenhu granted Li Mu the title of Kaifu Yitong San Si and Zhizhou CI Shi, and restored the title of Li mu'an Wu Jun Gong.
During the period of Wucheng (559-560), Li Mu was removed from the official rank and all his children were restored to the official rank. In the second year of Wucheng (560), Li Mu was appointed Shaobao; in the second year of Baoding (562), he was promoted to general. In the third year of Baoding (563), Li Mu followed Yang Zhong in his eastward expedition, and after returning, he was granted the title of Xiao situ. In the fourth year of Baoding (565), he was promoted to Zhu state and was appointed as Da Sikong.

In addition, he attacked Panguan and the counties north of the Yellow River, and Li Mu captured all of them. Later, because of Emperor Zhou Wu's illness, he withdrew and abandoned these places. In the sixth year of Jiande (578), he was promoted to Shangzhu state and transferred to Bingzhou general manager. At that time, the eastern region was calmed for the second time, and people were uneasy. Li Mu managed it with the purpose of quietness, and the people were grateful.
In the first year of Xiangxiang (579), the number of food towns was increased to 9000 households, and dazuofu was granted the title of worship, while the former head of Bingzhou was retained. In the second year of Xiangxiang (580), he was appointed to Taifu, and the general manager remained unchanged.
Jiansui power
When Yang Jian was the Prime Minister of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Wei chijun, the great master of Shu, who was his cousin, rebelled and sent someone to recruit Li Mu. Li Mu detained his envoys and handed over the letters to the imperial court. Li Shirong, Li Mu's son, thought that there were elite national troops in Li Mu's garrison, and privately urged Li Mu to rebel. Li Mu hesitated, and Yang Jian sent Liu Qiu and Li Hun, Li Mu's tenth son, to enlighten Xiaoyu. Liu Qiu met Li Mu and told him that Li Mu was very happy after hearing this. He said, "the virtue of Zhou Dynasty has declined. No matter who is stupid or wise, they can see this. If this is the fate, how can I disobey it? " So he sincerely submitted to Yang Jian, and gave the gold belt with 13 jade rings and the clothes symbolizing the son of heaven to Gaozu. He sent Li Hun to Beijing and said to Yang Jian with an iron: "I hope he can take charge of the authority to pacify the world." Yang Jian was very happy. In the first year of Dading in the Northern Zhou Dynasty (579), Li Mu took the destiny as the evidence and secretly went to the table to persuade Yang Jian to ascend the throne.
After accepting the abdication, Yang Jian issued an imperial edict, saying, "you have been kind to me, and you are also my father's generation. It's not against the great righteousness to respectfully learn your instructions. You are scheduled to accept the destiny on the 13th of this month." In the first year of kaihuang (587), Li Mu came to court. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty went down to the court and gave him the title of grand master. He was allowed not to give his name when praising him, and granted him the title of 3000 food towns in Anxian county. As a result, among Li Mu's sons and grandsons, even those who are still in their infancy are worshipped as Yitong. There are more than 100 sons in his family who hold Xianghu as an official. At that time, Li Mu's wealth was incomparable.
When Li Mu asked for retirement, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty issued an imperial edict, saying, "I've just established a new dynasty, and I'm going to ask for an old age with the help of a good minister's strategy. It's really not in line with your reality. The so-called 70 Zhishi refers to the average person. As a result, LV Shang assisted King Wen at the age of 80, and Zhang Cang served as the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty at the age of 90 with white hair. Outstanding talents are used by the world. Naturally, they can not be confined to the ordinary etiquette system. Please consider the special cases in this respect and make some modifications. Since you are an old minister, you should not be overworked. Now you can confirm your position and do not have to attend the assembly of the imperial court. If you have something important to discuss, you should send envoys to visit the court. "
It's very expensive to move the capital
When the Sui Dynasty was newly established, taishishangzuo thought that the capital should be moved. But Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty hesitated because he had just ascended the throne.
Before that, Yang Jian despised Taicheng for its small size and the presence of ghosts and demons in the palace. Su Wei once advised him to move the capital, but Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty didn't adopt it. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty hesitated when he saw that Taishi played so well. At this time, Li Mu supported the move
