Chapter 148

Early in the morning, a group of censors stood up and in unison accused Mu Wanqing of treason and demanded that the family be raided and exterminated.

This time, the courtiers were surprisingly unified.

The emperor sat high and had a panoramic view of every move of these people, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

These people thought they were smart and formed a line, just to retaliate against Mu Wanqing.

why? Because she moved their interests, the interests of their lives.

"Your Majesty, the waterwheel is a national treasure, and it is a secret. Mu Wanqing's desire to sell waterwheels privately is treason. Not killing it is not enough for the anger of the common people."

"Your Majesty, Mu Wanqing lived up to your high hopes and betrayed the interests of the country, so he should be killed."

"Please the emperor severely punish Mu Wanqing."

"Please the emperor severely punish Mu Wanqing."

Everyone spoke in unison and shared the same hatred. Those who didn't know it thought that Mu Wanqing had dug their ancestral graves.

The eyes of several princes flickered and looked strange.

The emperor looked at the princes indifferently, "What do you think?"

The third prince was the first to speak, "Your lords are right, Mu Wanqing cannot be punished for her crime, and it would not be an exaggeration to die a hundred times."

The fourth prince also agreed, "Father, so many people are crusade against Mu Wanqing, obviously she is not a good person."

The fifth prince was even more excited, "Father, my son, please be an imperial commissioner, and go to Xiliang to arrest Mu Wanqing in person, and ask your father's permission."

The emperor was noncommittal, "Shoufu, what do you say?"

Mu Wanqing was targeted on such a large scale because she proposed to be a female official.

This pokes the hornet's nest.

The king's eyes were majestic, and seemed to contain a trace of disappointment. The first assistant felt a tightness in his heart. Is this suspicious of him?

He turned around a few times when he said it, "My minister, I implore the emperor to give Qingping county magistrate a chance to defend himself."

Anyway, Mu Wanqing is out of the game, so it's better to say a good word and get a wave of goodwill points.

A strange light flashed in the emperor's eyes, "It's still the first assistant who is kind, and the letter from the head of Qingping County is here. Only then did I know that there are such loyal people in the world, and that there are such loyal ministers in the Daqi Dynasty. I feel very relieved."

The whole place is quiet, what is it? Loyalty? Are you right?

"Your Majesty, I wonder if I can show you the letter."

With a big wave of the emperor's hand, the chamberlain handed over the letter.

The first assistant took the letter and hurriedly opened it to read it. As the lines of words came into view, his face became more and more solemn.

In the letter, Mu Wanqing wrote the whole process in a relaxed tone, lifelike, as if she was there.

She emphasized a few points in the letter. The drawings of the waterwheel are not sold, but only the finished product. However, it will take time to decipher the finished product, and it will not take a day.

Selling water trucks is also for the sake of border security, so that they will not be bothered by thinking about killing people, setting fires and stealing secret recipes every day.

She doesn't keep a penny of the money she sells, and donates it all to the army of Xiliang, and donates it in the name of the emperor. loyalty.

In the end, she said that if the ministers in the court were in trouble, she would also ask the emperor to protect him for one or two.

The first assistant's eyes fell on this line of words, her eyes were extremely deep, Mu Wanqing, Mu Wanqing, this woman's mind was unfathomable.

Links are linked, and today's events are predicted in advance.

She had expected that she would be reported, but she still did it. What does it mean? Loyal and brave, not afraid of gossip, and wholeheartedly toward the court.

She is so profound and righteous, and these civil and military officials are hypocritical and selfish, jealous of their abilities, and cannot tolerate others.

In contrast, Quan became a clown who only knew how to besiege others and was too selfish.

In such a comparison, who will the emperor's heart be in favor of?

Once or twice, after a long time, it became a habit to protect her, and she had a good sense of presence in front of the king.

Seriously terrified!

He passed on the letter silently, and those who read the letter were ashamed as if they had been slapped in the face.

A censor diddge dryly, "This... is just her side of the word..."

The emperor waved his hand again, "Here is Du Shuai's memorial."

Okay, this time it was Du Shuai's turn to be watched, and the truth emerged.

The third prince's eyes lit up, Du Shuai was the prince's uncle, and he was also the prince's greatest support. All princes could not wait to pull Du Shuai off the horse.

"Du Shuai is covering up for her. The two of them are in unison and betrayed the country... ah."

The ornament hit his chest precisely, and he exclaimed in pain, but didn't dare to say anything.

The emperor withdrew his hand, his face full of impatience, "To be so stupid, I really can't believe it's my own flesh and blood."

The face of the third prince changed greatly, "Father."

The emperor sneered, "I don't agree? If you can also make a cement waterwheel and cotton, you can benefit one side of the people. If you make a move, you will donate two million taels of military expenses, and I will protect you."

"Unfortunately, you are just an idiot. You only know how to form gangs all day long, and you fight for power and profit. You have never done a good thing that is beneficial to the country and the people."

How could this country be handed over to such a person? Don't even think about it.

The blood on the third prince's face was completely lost. After having said this, he could almost imagine the scene where his subordinates abandoned him one after another.

An idiot who is stamped by a king is destined to not be able to ascend to the throne.

The other princes were secretly delighted, and they all fell into the trap.

The emperor looked at the sons who were tearing at each other with disappointment in his eyes, "Well, I will give you a chance, I will give each of you a farm for a year, depending on which farm produces the most crops and has the most patents for inventions, I will give you a farm. Just give him one thing."

The princes were dumbfounded, weren't they?

"The premise is that you can't search for the cream of the people, and you will be disqualified if you cheat. When you hand in the accounts for the previous year, let the subjects of the world see the fruits of your labor. I want to see how you go to work."

Instead of intrigue, it's better to go to the farm and work.

Princes: ...to die.

"Father, we won't."

"Who is born with it?" The emperor actually wanted to sharpen their temperament, but if they can achieve a little result, they will naturally be reused.

You can't take the throne, but it's okay to be a prince who does practical work.

Which emperor would guard against a brother who could bring wealth to the country?

"Why can't you do what the county magistrate of Qingping can do? Are you stupider than her? stupider than her?

The princes hated their teeth and it was Mu Wanqing again! So annoying!

The emperor also scolded the people who jumped out to report the bullshit, calling them rubbish, and attacking without a clear investigation. A group of big men besieged a county owner who had done good to the country, which is really shameful.

He also took the opportunity to have an attack and removed a few thorny official positions.

A while ago, the wind was shaking, and everyone was in danger, for fear of being affected.

The prince watched the whole process and watched from the wall, with a faint smile on his brows and eyes. Although Mu Wanqing was not in the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes still had her legend.

Her presence is too much.

His eyes fell on Shoufu, and he smiled slightly, this wave of siege on Mu Wanqing, Shoufu could not get rid of the relationship.

Apart from their father and son, he was the only one who knew Mu Wanqing's aspirations.

Knowing that he would be suspected, but still doing this, it can only be said that his selfishness is too heavy.

Okay, with the character of the father, the first assistant will not be able to work for a few years. Once there is a suitable successor, he will be let go.

The crown prince suddenly felt that someone was looking at him, so he raised his head and pinpointed the target. It was the Prince of Jin.

It's this strange expression, like exploration, like inexplicable excitement, and a kind of arrogance that is drunk and awake all over the world.

I've looked at him like this more than once, what does it mean?

The Prince of Jin smiled calmly at him, and then turned his eyes away naturally.

The prince frowned slightly, how strange this person has become, making people very uncomfortable.

The Prince of Jin snorted coldly in his heart, silently counting the days, it's almost time, it's almost New Year's Eve, then the prince will be completely finished.

wait! When the prince was poisoned and died, and the prince had a big fight, his chance would come.

Soon, the emperor received a second letter from Mu Wanqing, first reporting his current situation, and then blowing a wave of rainbow farts.

The emperor was very happy. He slowly picked up the cup and continued to look down. How could Mu Wanqing be so discerning? Smart people are different.

In the end, Mu Wanqing made a request directly to the emperor, wanting the autonomy of marriage and not wanting to be matched by a husband.

"Puchi." The emperor sprayed tea.

"Father." The prince was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to check.

The emperor threw the letter to him with a strange expression, "Look at the last two lines."

The prince doesn't know why, whose letter is it? But after a few glances, he knew it was Mu Wanqing.

He read it out, "I don't want to keep widowed, so please let the emperor agree to my request. I don't want to get married in five years."

Constantly widowed? Is that what he meant? The corner of the prince's mouth twitched, "Why does she dare to tell you anything? Aren't you afraid that you will cut her off?"

The emperor's mouth twitched slightly, and there was a hint of pride, "She said that it would be disrespectful to hide anything from your father. Therefore, in the world, she does not tell the truth to others, but tells me the truth."

Prince: ... such a lie, the wise and godly father emperor would believe it?

Emperor: Why don't you believe it? He believes it.

In other words, Mu Wanqing didn't rely on anyone, only showed her loyalty to the emperor, and only picked the biggest golden thigh to hug.

Of course, ordinary people can't hold it. Mu Wanqing is smart and capable, and has made great achievements many times. Who would refuse such a person?

The prince hesitated for a moment, "Then do you promise her?"

The emperor stroked the tea-soaked chest, "Why not? If possible, I also hope that she will never marry or marry."

Although the words are ruthless, this is the maximization of interests.

No matter which family Mu Wanqing married, she would bring a huge help, and maybe it would bring about a wave of turmoil and change the current court situation.

She can't be drawn by any force, but she doesn't look down on ordinary people.

The prince thought of his cousin, and felt a little distressed for him. Du Shaoxuan often wrote letters, and his thoughts were naturally clear.

"Actually, I think she and her cousin are very suitable. They are both straightforward and pure-minded people. They both want the autonomy of marriage."

The emperor shook his head slightly, if Mu Wanqing had the heart, she would not have done this.

"Forcing Mu Wanqing will only lead to death, so let's go with the flow."

Although he trusted Du Shuai and his son, he didn't want the Du family to be too powerful and to be the master.

He hopes that all the years of his life will be the reconciliation of monarchs and ministers, not that at a certain point, swords and swords will face each other.

The suspicion is that every monarch has it, and the heights are too cold.

Blindly generosity and trust are unsettling, this is the emperor's trick.

The prince's eyes flashed, Mu Wanqing could not have guessed the father's thoughts, right? That is too evil.

No, probably not, they have never met, and the father has never written a letter to her, so there is no way to guess.

"Are you really not considering making her an official?"

The emperor said lightly, "Wait for next year's cotton to come out and see the effect. If it is as she said, it is natural to establish a kapok elevating department. She is the best choice."

All the information on Kapok is in her hands, and her donation is 2 million taels. Her ability to make money is also quite powerful. Why didn't the minister enable it?

This is a good knife.

The crown prince was sincerely convinced, "Father is wise."

When Mu Wanqing got the emperor's hand letter, allowing her to marry independently, she couldn't help laughing, everything was under her control.

Mrs. Mu was terribly entangled in her heart, this child was so daring and dared to do anything.

She angrily poked her daughter's forehead, "Are you still laughing? Is this really a good thing?"

Mu Wanqing narrowed her eyes with a smile, of course it was a good thing, she showed her loyalty, hinted that she would not join any party, would not form an alliance through marriage, and also showed her abilities in all aspects, the emperor was completely at ease with her.

Well, she is about to become an official, and the opportunity to display her talents has finally arrived.
