Chapter 55 The Beginning
The scene in the Tai'a Hall was a little weird.
A group of ministers sat around Mu Xi and did nothing else. They just looked at people and looked them up and down. Some of them were smiling, which was scary.
Mu Xi looked at Zhang Dafu, the man only smiled at him, it seemed useless.
Mu Xi had no choice but to call out: "Yuelu, serve tea."
He nodded to the officials and served tea to everyone, but he didn't know what to say.
He lowered his head slightly, ignoring those gazes, but the hand holding the tea cup betrayed him, and the protruding knuckles announced how nervous he was.
Where did Jing Cheng go? Why are his ministers going crazy today?
Suddenly someone said: "Mu, young master Mu, I guess we should pay back the money slowly."
???
Mu Xi's brain was running fast, and he made a rough guess, but he didn't know the actual situation, so he just answered with panacea, it's all good.
He didn't quite hear what a few ministers said next, so he agreed anyway, thinking only when Jing Cheng would show up.
Suddenly, someone raised his voice, "Young Master Mu agrees?" I'm happy, his majesty is really easy to sell.
Mu Xi's eyes are dumbfounded, huh?
what just happened.
Jing Cheng walked in unhurriedly, and everyone immediately turned to him to salute.Jing Cheng bypassed the crowd, came to Mu Xi's side, rescued the cup that was about to be crushed from Mu Xi's hands, grabbed the man's hand and massaged the stiff knuckles.
"Go down, are you still waiting for dinner?"
His Majesty made a decree, no one had a head, and everyone withdrew.
After Mu Xi let out a breath, his body relaxed, and he leaned his head directly on Jing Cheng's body, not at all as dignified as before.
Really tired, I don't know how Jingcheng and these ministers survive.
"They are all kind, don't panic," Jing Cheng said.
Mu Xi can tell the difference between good intentions and malicious intentions when they meet each other face to face, it's just that he has a little social fear.
"No panic." Mu Xi refused to admit it.
Because of his health, he has always been alienated. In the real world, he doesn't have many friends, and he basically doesn't go to crowded places.
He is not afraid of crowds, he was still able to deal with them calmly at the big banquet before, but he was mainly afraid that there would be too many unfamiliar people and he would have to talk to him.
Every time at this time, he will be a little resistant, he is not familiar with it and there is no reason to be familiar with it, he does not know what topic to talk about, so many people are so close to each other and there is no one familiar with him, he will feeling bad.
Being alone for many years has made him used to not needing too many friends, and most people have no reason to know each other.
Jing Cheng also accidentally discovered that Mu Xi had this problem before, and he joked at the time, saying that the boss of Mu Da is so afraid of meeting people, why did he open such a big room and forget nothing.
At that time, Mu Xi retorted on the spot, how can it be the same, his shop assistants all need to learn skills to ensure the normal operation of the less memory, and to make money together.Although he was not familiar with some of them, and most of the shop assistants in the later period were not taught by him, but there were countless topics to talk about, and the reasons for knowing each other could be counted.
"Then these people all want to get to know you well. In the future, I will seal you as the queen. These people will be seen often. It just so happens that a small banquet will be held in the palace in these two days to invite everyone to get to know each other well." There was an obvious smile in Jing Cheng's words.
Mu Xi pressed him down, blinked and blinked, and refused: "No, no need." Finally, he compromised, "I'm panicked, I'm so panicked that you're not here."
The two hugged each other for a while, and now they are not shy, Zhang Dafu hurried out.
Tired to the end, Mu Xi bit Jing Cheng's throat, and said seriously: "This queen, please don't." He could be annoyed to death.
Jing Cheng smiled, "From now on, there will be nothing to take care of in Jingwang Palace."
The most important thing for a queen is the wives and daughters-in-law who manage the harem. What Jing Cheng means is that there will be only Mu Xi in the palace in the future, so what else should I worry about?As for other trivial matters in the palace, isn't there a chief eunuch?
Zhang Dafu suddenly sneezed and muttered, could someone miss him?
When the rumors were spreading in the streets and alleys like the truth, the news of the arrest of the shopkeeper of the Xue family pushed it to the top.
With the intervention of the government, the rumored story instantly became the truth that everyone believed in, and it spread more and more widely, especially in the hardest-hit areas.
In the end, the imperial court mobilized the army to suppress the riot, the truth came out to the world, and the people had rice to lead.The imperial court posted notices to appease the people, and the famine was finally suppressed, and the panic gradually dissipated.
The rumors arranged to spread at that time were true and false, but the general charges were all true.The shopkeeper of Xue's family is also a genius. He found out that the harvest in the south this year is not good. There will definitely be a famine for a while, but it will not be too serious, but if he hoards rice, the profit will be considerable.For this reason, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to bribe local and surrounding officials, and concealed the situation without reporting it. If it were not for Mu Xi's reminder, it might lead to a catastrophe.
Because the imperial court made preparations early and the food arrived on time, there was no panic for a while, and then Mu Xi sold the food at a low price, which was completely different from what he had imagined.Seeing that someone blocked the way of making money, they began to spread rumors that the person who smashed up the temporary rice sales point in the hardest-hit area was indeed the person sought by Xue's family.
It's just that he didn't expect to be defeated by Mu Xi in the end.
As Mu Xi began to distribute food for free, the rumors that had already collapsed even more, and those criticisms against the Tian family disappeared without a trace.
In the evening, Jing Cheng and Mu Xi talked about this matter, saying that after so many years, they would just write scripts, and according to Mu Xi's words, it was just gossip.Speaking of criticism, the country has always been prosperous and the people are peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Even a three-year-old child knows that these years have been a situation of unanimous dominance of the world, and there is no need for Mu Xi to do this.
Mu Xi laughed, saying that he was here to show off his political achievements?This man has learned to sell himself and boast at any time.
Then Mu Xi told Jing Cheng that people's hearts are like water, water can carry a boat and overturn it, the people's heart has always been strange, today they will be bewitched by rumors and this matter will develop, and a seed of disapproval against the king will be planted, and it will take root in the future germination.This is the future that he absolutely does not want to see, even if there is only one percent possibility, he will strangle it in the cradle.
Mu Xi said: "The common people are ignorant, and they are the most vulnerable to be deceived. In the world, the common people are the most numerous."
Jing Cheng said: "When it comes to people's hearts, you can be a king."
Mu Xi said: "Speaking of which, I am far inferior to you."
Jing Sheng: "..."
Mu Xi, "Stop, go to sleep."
Let's stop the uncomfortable business bragging sessions.
One month later, the famine in the south was completely appeased, and a large amount of grain from the north was transported to the south for emergency relief. After two months, the south will be completely self-sufficient, and the famine will be completely over.
During this month, Mu Xi even dug up some other material.
"This famine is probably caused by the Yan Kingdom."
This is what Mu Xi told Jing Sheng.
When everyone was discussing in the side study, Jing Cheng told the matter to all the ministers, and everyone felt a shivers down their spines.
Almost at the same time, they thought that if the battle broke out in the first year of the year, and there was a famine in the south behind them, what kind of enemy would it be.
All the ministers deliberated and felt that it was very possible that the Xue family had such great energy. After thinking about it carefully, there were indeed missing details.
This is adding to the crime, treason, and should be executed by Ling Chi.
Following the results to investigate, the matter was much simpler. If there were signs that the people of Yan State were contributing to the flames, the Xue family also admitted that there were indeed a few people who did not want to show up to cooperate with them, but they never expected to be people from the enemy country.If they knew, they would never dare to do so.
The ministers all praised His Majesty for his wit and good fortune, but Jing Cheng said that this matter was guided by an expert.As for who this expert is, everyone looked at His Majesty's bedroom.
Mu Xi: "That's right, the miraculous Second Prince Yan told me."
After pouring a cup of tea, Mu Xi was also shocked, so he could only say: "I probably found out that there is no hope, so please ask for some kindness in advance." Compared with Yan He, he has always been the most egoist who knows the current affairs.
Jing Cheng's expression was flat, "The canal has been completed, and people like Yan He will definitely believe that the Yan Kingdom will be defeated. This move is just to get credit for the future."
In the country of Yan, after holding the important power for a short time, Yan He fell into an embarrassing situation again.The third prince of Yan has some talents and is loved by the king of Yan. After losing the golden opportunity, the country of Yan is already desperately preparing for the upcoming war.
Jing Cheng traced Mu Xi's long eyebrows, he only had this person in his eyes, and suddenly a thought came to him.
When the world is unified, he is willing to join hands with the lover in front of him to find a paradise, draw eyebrows and drink tea with him every day, and accompany him every day, for the rest of his life.
He thought, this should be Mu Xi's favorite life, it would be better to have a small village, and Mu Xi can still do small business.
He almost blurted out, but the moment he opened his mouth, he thought of a lot. When the world is really unified, it will not be too late.
Jing Cheng opened his mouth, "I've been preparing for hunting for the past few days, and I'm going to leave in three days. After the hunting is over, the border war will start immediately."
Mu Xi raised his head, poured the freshly boiled water into the teacup, and splashed a few drops on his hand, "Hiss."
Jing Cheng quickly took his hand and blew gently, "Is it all right, does it hurt? Tell the imperial physician, come here, Zhang Dafu."
Mu Xi grabbed his hand and stopped him: "No need, you'll be fine if you blow it on. Hurry up, and the water stains will disappear."
The hand was not let go, Jing Cheng kept holding it, and kept gently blowing the hot spots.
The two were rarely silent. Hunting seemed to be their common heart disease.
What happened that year was during the hunting process.
If it weren't for the king's hunting, which is the best news to confuse the enemy, Jingcheng might never arrange this kind of activity again in his life.
After applying the panacea, Jing Cheng let go of Mu Xi's hand when he was sure that there was absolutely no problem.He said: "This hunting will end in five days. You will wait for my return in the Tai'a Palace. I have sent a group of hidden guards back."
