Who would have thought that the people of his Fang family were keeping a low profile, but the emperor's daughter was not keeping a low profile and actually went to rebel.
In the end, even his son and the honors he had left behind him were gone.
Only the youngest son managed to retain a small official position, and his life was at least safe.
Thinking of this, Muchuan couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
Old man Fang was more foresighted than him, and he even failed to save his eldest son. He also caused trouble for himself, and he would not be able to live in peace after his death.
As for him, he is now the most eye-catching minister besides the prime minister.
The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, no matter what dynasty or generation he belongs to, is always a fat bastard. Who in Chang'an city is not flattering and jealous?
But so what?
Fang Xuanling had followed Li Shimin since he was a boy, and his power in Chang'an City was deeply rooted.
But without Li Shimin's protection, his children and grandchildren would still have to be dealt with at will.
Muchuan himself is an outsider in Chang'an City, without even the slightest support from his power. Let alone waiting for Li Shimin to step down, even now he doesn't have much confidence that he can withstand too many dirty tricks?
Fortunately, he was arranged to go on a business trip abroad when the limelight first came to him. Otherwise, I don’t know how many colleagues’ shoes would have been given to him to wear.
Fang Xuanling's incident also served as a wake-up call to Muchuan.
It is impossible to return to your hometown after resigning from office. Even if you make money, you will still be robbed if you have no power.
Therefore, you still have to sit in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Finance, and sit firmly.
But it is also necessary to build a network of relationships for yourself.
Muchuan turned his attention to the invitation on the table and would go and meet with the Prince of Nanyi County in two days.
Thinking of this, Muchuan closed his eyes.
[Hey! System! Don’t think you can cheat on my points just because I’m confused!]
[My answer is very accurate, if you don’t believe me, you can read it up yourself!]
Muchuan doesn't care whether the system can hear it or not. From his experience, the system can definitely hear it.
After a while, Muchuan heard a familiar voice.
[Ding! System points have arrived, one hundred points!]
Muchuan nodded, just get the money.
Recently, the system is getting lazier and lazier, and there are even fewer tasks.
Muchuan lay down for more than an hour before getting up and preparing to handle official duties.
If you don't go to court and you can't go back to court, the documents from the Ministry of Revenue will still be delivered to the mansion like snowflakes.
Living in the old saying, one cannot escape the fate of sick leave and overtime work.
Muchuan took a general look and saw that many of them were condolences from his subordinates.
Because Muchuan had not yet confessed his crime to the emperor, the palace did not dare to welcome guests in a big way.
In order to express their keen concern for Shangfeng, the subordinates wrote one letter of care after another.
Often on a piece of paper, there is almost always concern about Muchuan's condition and guidance on how to recover from his illness.
Only at the end will I mention some official matters for Muchuan to review.
Muchuan said, these people are very efficient at using paper, and they don't waste anything at all.
But fortunately, most of them are simple reports, just take a look.
If it really needed to be checked, no one else could send it to Muchuan. He had to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to check it in person.
In addition to subordinates, there are also some colleagues who are beyond the reach of others who will also write letters to express their feelings for Muchuan's colleagues.
After all, the Account Department is the financial department of a company, and all payments are made by the Account Department.
Although the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry are independent departments like the Ministry of Household Affairs, when they want money, they all reach out to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Having a good relationship with Muchuan will make their funding go more smoothly.
Muchuan did not need to reply to reports from his subordinates, but he had to reply to letters from these people.
If he didn't reply, then he would wait for the meeting and be surrounded by a group of old men who said something strange to him.
In these replies, Muchuan probably wrote a lifetime of bitter words before finally finishing his official duties.
When he looked up, he saw that the guard had been waiting outside the door for a long time.
"Come in, what's the matter?"
Muchuan asked the guard while packing up his pen and ink.
"Back to your lord, your majesty has left a verbal message, asking you to rest in peace and recuperate. There is no need to go to the palace."
"His Majesty also said that if Mr. Mu has something new and interesting to do, he can bring it over after you recover from your illness."
Muchuan paused while packing his things.
He has a good relationship with the emperor, but it's not that bad, right?
No matter how he thought about it, he felt that this kind of treatment was a bit like that only given by Fang Xuanling!
But why?
Could it be that his work report was so touching that it sublimated his relationship with the emperor?
It was not until three days later that Muchuan understood why.
This day is the day when the Prince of Nanyi County is granted the title. The Prince's Mansion of Nanyi County is relatively close to the Shangshu Mansion, and other princes' mansions are all in the same place. That's because the mansion was built early.
The prince of Nanyi County had a very tight time schedule for being granted the title, so he used a royal palace from the previous dynasty. Fortunately, the regulations were the same and it only needed to be repaired.
It was also close to Muchuan's Shangshu Mansion, so Muchuan waited until there were more and more carriages in front of the Prince's Mansion before passing by.
If you go too early, you will attract attention; if you go too late, it will be impolite.
Sneak in while there are many people, and you can get away and go back home without saying much.
Fatty perfection.
Muchuan's plan was very good. Thinking that Master Du would definitely go there if the county prince's palace was granted a title, Muchuan's eyes flashed.
"Forget it, just call Mr. Fang over. I'll go and invite him myself."
Muchuan was about to step out of the house but took his foot back and went to the guest room to find Fang Cheng.
Fang Cheng has been staying here for the past two days, and Muchuan has already told him the reason.
Fang Cheng thought for a while and agreed, and Muchuan also returned his little book and the Silk Village's account book to Zhao intact.
"Mr. Fang, today the Prince of Nanyi County is granted the title, let's go and join in the fun together."
Muchuan smiled and said to Fang Cheng.
"Is this convenient?"
Fang Cheng himself didn't care. Being able to get to know more senior officials would only be good for his business, not bad.
But he was too embarrassed to bother Master Mu.
"There's nothing inconvenient about it, and you have to go there."
Muchuan said and took him out.
"Why?"
Fang Cheng followed him honestly, but he still wanted to ask clearly.
"Because you will definitely meet Mr. Du's godson at the banquet, that is, the head of the Chen family."
Muchuan said.
"That's not possible! Then I can't go!"
Fang Cheng was very resistant, waving his hands repeatedly, and even his expression changed.
Muchuan looked at Fang Cheng's changed expression and his refusal so firmly, and thought to himself, could this be "post-traumatic stress disorder"?
But when Chenjiazhuang is mentioned, Fang Cheng doesn’t react at all?
"Master Mu, you managed to rescue me with great difficulty. If I am seen by him again and let him in again, won't your rescue be in vain?
It will definitely be harder to save me next time."
"If I go, won't I cause trouble to Master Mu? If I don't go, I won't go!"
Fang Cheng saw Muchuan stunned there, fearing that he would have to let him go, so he strengthened his point of view again.
