Early the next morning, Bai Zhaodong got up and saw that Wei Han was still motionless. He thought Wei Han was still sleeping. After washing, he saw that Wei Han was still facing forward. Bai Zhaodong carefully packed his bedding, but Wei Han was still motionless.
, Bai Zhaodong immediately sensed something was wrong, and after calling several times with no response, he directly pulled Wei Han's body away, killing him.
Wei Han was a man who was about to die, and his words were also good and the content was so explosive that the capital of Mu'an was shocked.
When Mu Anzhi was born, the Liu family had been wiped out. Queen Liu treated Mu Anzhi very coldly. Even though she was his biological mother, Mu Anzhi could not say in good conscience how deep the mother-child relationship was with his biological mother. However, the Liu family affairs were so complicated.
Inside story.
However, the Wei family failed to please the Wei family. Wei Han's words that expressed his true feelings completely consumed the last trace of emperor-subordinate feeling in Emperor Mu Xuan's heart.
Who is Ruihou? It was the bright moon and the clear breeze in Emperor Mu Xuan’s heart. He went through life and death several times for Emperor Mu Xuan’s empire, and finally gave up his life in Northern Xinjiang. As for the Ruihou mentioned by Wei Han, he had ten consecutive
The two memorials angered Emperor Mu Xuan. Emperor Mu Xuan said to Mu An, "Don't believe a word of Wei Han's words. Who in this court would ignore his own title and official position in order to plead for others? Whoever makes a show can do it
To this point! Yes, he was granted the title of Marquis again later, but did he have the foresight to know that he could still be granted the title in the future?"
Mu Anzhi nodded, "Your Majesty, what you said makes sense."
"That's what happened." Emperor Mu Xuan's face turned pale, "Since Wei Han mentioned the Cheng family's affairs, it will be re-examined by the Ministry of Punishments. Is there any injustice done to the Cheng family back then?"
Mu Anzhi then took another mission back to the Ministry of Punishment.
When Du Changshi learned about this, he said, "I didn't expect that the Cheng family would benefit."
"What's the use? The Cheng family is probably all dead, just to overturn the verdict. Will those who died unjustly live?" Mu Anzhi disagreed.
Li Shangshu discussed with Mu Anzhi and asked Mu Anzhi to take charge of the case, while Cheng Shilang and Zhao Shilang supervised the case.
Mu Anzhidao was not interested in this case at all, "Just put your name on it, Lord Shangshu."
What worries Li Shangshu is that Your Highness, Third Highness, is a good judge of the case. Why don’t you have any political acumen? What’s so important about the Cheng family case? What’s important is that the current general of the Suzaku Guard, Lin Cheng, is born into the Cheng family. So.
It’s a perfect opportunity to give a favor, how could you not use it?
Li Shangshu signaled Du Changshi with his eyes, and quickly advised His Highness. Our Highness is used to being upright, and you won't be able to turn around.
Du Changshi also advised Mu Anzhi, "His Highness was in front of the emperor at that time. Since Your Majesty gave this mission to His Highness, His Highness must have a name."
"Okay, it's up to you." Mu Anzhi didn't want to make a fuss over such a trivial matter, so he agreed.
Fortunately, although His Highness has a somewhat stubborn temper, he is willing to listen to the advice of loyal ministers. Li Shangshu smiled and said, "That's what I ordered."
Lively chatter and laughter came from outside. Mu Anzhi glanced outside and saw Huan Li and Tang Mo walking in together. Especially Tang Mo, whose face was smiling like a flower. Mu Anzhi said, "What are you so happy about?"
Tang Mo quickly handed over the list in his hand, "Third brother, this year's examination list is out, and Ajian is at the top, first in the examination."
Li Shangshu praised, "Another young talent will be born this year."
Mu Anzhi also admired Chen Jian very much, and he was ruthless in his work. He also saw Zhu Wan's name on the examination list. Zhu Wan was slightly older than Chen Jian, and he was also in his early twenties. Mu Anzhi said, "There is more than one young talent."
He handed the list to Li Shangshu.
Li Shangshu also saw several aristocratic family members, but they were all much older than Chen Jian. For a moment, he didn't understand what Mu Anzhi was referring to. Mu Anzhi suddenly thought of something, "Ruyu will return to the imperial capital this year to report on her duties. Oops, there is something important."
I forgot to tell you, Your Majesty." He got up and went to see Your Majesty.
Li Shangshu was standing by and asked, "Your Highness, why is it so urgent?"
Mu An said, "Let your majesty send some manpower to pick up Ruyu's wife in Northern Xinjiang. There was no danger last year. They have traveled thousands of miles from Northern Xinjiang back to the imperial capital. How can they do it without guards?"
Li Shangshu thought of the powerful bow and crossbow that Master Bai made for the imperial court, and said, "Yes, Your Highness, hurry up and tell Your Majesty that Master Bai's safety cannot be ignored."
Mu Anzhi hurriedly entered the palace. Emperor Mu Xuan and the prince were talking to Prime Minister Pei and Prime Minister Wei about the palace examination. When he saw Mu Anzhi coming, Emperor Mu Xuan said, "You are free today."
"I forgot to mention something important to Your Majesty." Mu Anzhi didn't say a word, and Dangdangdang told Emperor Mu Xuan about Pei Ruyu and his wife, Mr. Bai, returning to the imperial capital to report on their duties. "Ruyu just has a few good servants.
The horse bandits are useless, the main thing is Master Bai's safety, your Majesty will decide which group of people to send over to escort him."
Emperor Mu Xuan nodded, "This is a good reminder. I was thinking about it last year, but I forgot about it this year when I was busy with the Spring Festival." After thinking about it, he said, "Xuanlin Cheng Jiangxun is here."
Mu Anzhi just wanted to give Emperor Mu Xuan a heads up, and he was about to go down after saying that. Wei Xiang said with a smile, "I heard that County Magistrate Pei has managed Northern Xinjiang very well in the past few years. Now, this time in the imperial capital, Prime Minister Pei will pay homage to his ancestors."
Sun is reunited."
Prime Minister Wei meant well, but he didn't know about it until he returned to the imperial capital. It was only after he returned to the imperial capital that he heard that Prime Minister Pei had kicked Pei Ruyu out of the house in anger and removed his name from the family tree. Now that he had this opportunity, he wanted to make peace with Prime Minister Pei.
Before Prime Minister Pei could say anything, Mu Anzhi raised his eyebrows first, "Look at what Wei Xiang said, if we manage Northern Xinjiang well, we can reunite our ancestors and grandchildren? If we don't manage it well, we are not worthy of it. It turns out that only outstanding children can be considered a family.
If a person is not outstanding, then he doesn’t deserve to live. Qie, why is the old Pei family such a great family? Is it possible that Ruyu still lacks such a snobbish ancestor?"
When Wei Xiang returned to the imperial capital, he experienced Mu Anzhi's style for the first time. He said in his heart that he had heard that His Highness the Third Highness had spat in Xiang Pei's face because of Pei Ruyu's expulsion. He originally thought that the rumors were untrue, but now that he looks at them, they are indeed true.
.
Wei Xiang glanced at Pei Xiang awkwardly, feeling full of guilt.
He could be the chief examiner of Chunwei, and was highly recommended by Prime Minister Pei. He was kind-hearted, but who knew that Mu Anzhi was so moody.
Wei Lian hurriedly said, "Your Highness has misunderstood what I meant."
Prime Minister Pei said, "The affairs of County Magistrate Pei have nothing to do with me."
As soon as Emperor Mu Xuan saw that Mu Anzhi was more pleasing to his eye, Mu Anzhi insulted two cabinet ministers in front of him. Emperor Mu Xuan shouted angrily, "You are so presumptuous!"
"What's so presumptuous? I'm just expressing my feelings." Mu An said, "Ruyu and the others are afraid they won't have a place to live when they come back. Your Majesty, please give Mr. Bai a house and assign a few more guards to protect them. If it doesn't work, let them do it."
I have nothing else to do, so I will leave now."
Emperor Mu Xuan was furious, and the prince quickly told Mu Anzhi to leave quickly. Prime Minister Pei and Weixiang persuaded him, but Emperor Mu Xuan decided to fine Mu Anzhi one year's salary.
Mu Anzhi didn't care at all. Anyway, his family was well off now and he wouldn't give him a salary if he didn't. He would just lend it out when Emperor Mu Xuan was happy.
Mu Anzhi went to Ci'en Palace in a big way. Yes, when there were errands, Mu Anzhi would sometimes be absent for ten and a half months. If he was free, he would come here all day long. Queen Mother Lan was naturally happy to see him coming, so she asked him.
In many words, Mu Anzhi talked about how the Young Master of the Chen family had won a membership in the test, and that Sandingjia was expected, and then he complained about the snobbery of Prime Minister Wei and Pei.
Mu An said, "No one else would say that even if they think so. Fortunately, they are still in the cabinet as prime ministers, so they are really good at talking and have a good level." He said in a sarcastic tone.
"That's not what I meant." Empress Dowager Lan smiled, "If you have a problem with Prime Minister Pei, it's natural to see what he thinks is wrong. Prime Minister Wei is also kind-hearted and wants to use Ruyu's return to the imperial capital to reconcile their ancestors and grandchildren.
.”
"No, I don't accept this." Mu Anzhi rolled his eyes vividly.
Queen Mother Lan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Ever since Mu Anzhi changed his temper, he has become a bit stubborn, but Queen Mother Lan said privately that such stubbornness is much more interesting than the gentle and elegant one who was benevolent, righteous, polite, wise and trustworthy in the past.
Li Yuhua was also well aware of Mu Anzhi's temperament and did not try to persuade him. Instead, he changed things and said, "I am discussing with the Imperial Grandmother about giving porridge."
"It's just the beginning of spring, why are you giving out porridge again?" Generally, porridge is given out during the twelfth lunar month in the middle of winter. If a poor family is short of food, they give out porridge for relief. Now that spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, why do we give out porridge at this time?
"Third brother, you don't know. Yan Lin came to the city and told me that there were hungry people outside the city. Those with their families were so pitiful. In several temples and nunneries outside the city, those who were able began to give porridge. I and I
The imperial grandmother discussed and bought some old rice and coarse grains to give away as charity. How pitiful." Li Yuhua was born in a poor family, and he was even more sympathetic to the hungry and beggars.
Mu An's Way, "Where are the hungry people?"
"The accent sounds like someone from Henan," Li Yuhua said.
"Henan reported several snow disasters last year, and it snowed and rained again in the spring. The imperial court has sent relief food, but the victims have all arrived in the imperial capital." Mu Anzhi said, "This is not a matter of giving food to the people. They are so far away."
Once people flee famine to the imperial capital and gather together, they are most likely to cause epidemics in spring."
Queen Mother Lan had also experienced many major events, and she immediately said, "The emperor must know this."
"It shouldn't be too serious, otherwise the Yushitai would have written a letter first." Mu Anzhi said, "Grandma, please tell His Majesty."
"How do I understand this? Go tell the emperor and make it clear."
"I was just fined for one year's salary and was scolded by him. If I go here again, I will be rushing to find myself uncomfortable. Next year my salary will be gone." I moved my buttocks on the couch, not wanting to go.
"Go quickly, go quickly, I will ask the emperor to compensate you for your salary." Empress Dowager Lan urged him to go.
"I haven't had a sip of water yet." He was thirsty again.
"Come back and drink water." Queen Mother Lan began to chase people away, so Mu Anzhi had no choice but to go.
This morning, Emperor Mu Xuan saw Mu Anzhi for the third time. Fortunately, Prime Minister Pei and Wei had already retired, leaving the prince alone. Emperor Mu Xuan frowned, "I came here to see if I am mad at you!"
"
"Look at your majesty, you are so weird. I can't tell you. The imperial grandmother insisted on me coming. Come here and tell you that there is a big disaster in Henan. The victims have all gone outside the city. I just arrived at the imperial grandmother's place, and I happened to catch up with my daughter-in-law and the imperial grandmother to discuss it.
Regarding the donation of porridge to the victims outside the city, my daughter-in-law said that several larger temples and nunneries in the suburbs have started to donate porridge." Mu Anzhi looked at Emperor Mu Xuan's increasingly gloomy face, "On this matter, I'm back.
"
The prince called Mu Anzhi and said, "Third brother, please wait a moment."
Emperor Mu Xuan said, "The Ministry of Household Affairs allocated the relief food to Henan a month ago, and then allocated it twice more. How come the victims can still come to the imperial capital?"
The prince said, "Father, why don't you send someone to the outskirts of the city to see what the situation is like. Spring has just begun, so we can prevent disaster victims from gathering and causing epidemics."
"Very true." Emperor Mu Xuan said, "Xuan Pei, Zhuoran, comes to see you."
Seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, Mu Anzhi wanted to go back to Ci'en Palace for lunch. Pei Xiangzhuo, the censor, was old at running errands, so he immediately sent people to investigate the matter. Prime Minister Pei was reluctant to move lightly, Zhuo Yushi said, "I have nothing to do with you."
I personally took people there to find out what was going on with the victims."
Emperor Mu Xuan said, "Go."
After the matter was finally over, Mu Anzhi wanted to leave. Emperor Mu Xuan said, "It's rare that you still have some conscience, so just stay here with me for lunch with the prince."
"Where is my wife waiting? What's the point of eating with you? I'll go to the imperial grandmother's place to eat." Mu Anzhi gave a cursory salute and left.
Originally Emperor Mu Xuan wanted to reward him with the fined salary, but seeing Mu Anzhi's ungrateful attitude, he simply kept silent.
The prince smiled, "The third brother is a bit more casual and outspoken, but in everything he does, he has the father in mind."
"It's this temper that makes people angry." Emperor Mu Xuan felt helpless.
"Character is a big deal, temper is nothing more than trivial matters. There is nothing wrong with the third brother being forthright. After a while, my father will reward the third brother with another salary."
Emperor Mu Xuan's expression improved, "We'll talk about it later."
East Palace.
Prince Lu meant something, "In the past, His Highness the Third Highness paid no attention to anyone else when it came to eliminating the Ministry of Punishment. Now he is more concerned about the public sentiment."
The prince said, "This is a good thing. If the third brother hadn't reminded me today, I wouldn't have known that all the victims of the disaster in Henan Province had fled to the imperial capital."
"Hungry people are small. Your Highness, Third Highness, should be careful." Prince Lu said sternly.
The prince smiled and said, "Don't worry, cousin, I know what's going on."
"You are too kind. Now the Ministry of Punishment is going to re-examine the Cheng family case. Once this case is overturned, a generous gift will be given to General Suzaku Weilin." Prince Lu leaned forward slightly, "I heard that this case was committed by His Highness the Third Prince.
Supervised in name only."
"Why are you so anxious?" The prince looked at Prince Lu's worried face, his lips curled up, and he smiled, "Why are you so anxious, cousin?"
"I'm not worried about you yet." Prince Lu said, but the prince took his arm and said, "Come on, I asked the prince to cook a few of your favorite dishes and go have dinner. If you have to worry about this, there is nothing else to worry about.
, my eight younger brothers."
Prince Lu sighed, "There are so many princes. Now, apart from His Highness, there is no one who can see His Majesty the Third Highness three times a day. Your Highness knows very well that no matter how untamed the Third Highness is, he is already a Jane in the Emperor's heart."
The corners of the prince's lips curled up, but he said nothing. Prince Lu couldn't tell what he was thinking, so he could only follow the prince's steps and walk towards the inner hall.
