Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 144 The Theory of Three Benefits
"Good thing? Hmph, is it possible that An Guohou also wants to stand in line ahead of time?" Shangguan Yufeng sat down angrily, speaking harshly. In fact, he also knew that he was venting his anger. After all, if he had the ability to protect the emperor The safety of his son, how could he be left to be raised by a widow? In the end, it was his incompetence as a father.Even if he is almost dead now, he can't delay that evil thief with his righteous decree.

How could An Guohou not be able to figure out his thoughts, and apologized again, "Your Majesty, calm down. It was the old minister who failed to protect the Fifth Prince who was in danger, and the minister complained about the death penalty. However, the old minister has never been loyal to His Majesty. Offset, please Your Majesty listen to the old minister's words before convicting the old minister."

"Okay, An Guohou, get up and talk. You are the person in the letter of the first emperor. This time, it is about food and the fifth prince. You have made great achievements. How can I doubt your loyalty? Just now, when I heard that the fifth prince was in danger, I vented my anger on you. You. However, why is the fifth prince's distress beneficial to the current situation?"

An Guohou kowtowed again to thank you, then got up, sat on the brocade stool brought by Eunuch Duan, and watched him continue to return to the gate of the main hall with his head bowed to guard, before lowering his voice, "Your Majesty, according to the secret letter, the Fifth Prince's this time In distress, those people are coveting the new vegetable seeds in the hands of Muxian. Although the old minister has never tasted the taste of the vegetables, they should taste good, and the Muxian has already started teaching the villagers to plant them. Obviously, he has no selfish intentions. , intending to spread it out. In this way, in another two years, the tables of my Baihua people will be much richer. Besides, the Muxian family seems to have other new species that have been released this year. I am afraid there will be surprises in the future. This is one of the benefits. "

An Guohou finished talking about the first benefit in one breath, pondered for a while, sorted out the thoughts in his head, and continued, "In the past, we only knew that Muxian was carrying a variety of novel species, and his heart was filial and benevolent. Rice also contributed a lot, but this time when the fifth prince was in danger, it took less than a day from finding the person behind it to bloody deterrence. She was determined and ruthless, and it was difficult for ordinary men to match. Moreover, her flying hand Acupuncture skills are weird and difficult to guard against. With someone with such a mind and methods to raise the fifth prince, His Majesty can rest easy in the future. Even if the fifth prince returns in the future, having such a adoptive mother will be a great help to him. This is for The second benefit."

"Okay, good! What An Guohou said is very good, come and serve An Guohou tea!" Shangguan Yufeng only heard the two benefits, and couldn't help shouting, seeing that the old Hou Ye seemed to have a dry cough Confused, quickly called someone to serve tea.

Eunuch Duan brought in a tray with a smile on his face, poured it for Shangguan Yufeng first, and then poured a cup for An Guohou, who was sitting next to him. After An Guohou smiled and thanked him, he drank it all in one gulp. The old man was indeed thirsty. It was so powerful, but the emperor was furious and dared not speak out.

After moistening his throat, the old Hou Ye did not dare to keep His Majesty waiting for a long time, and continued, "Now that the tragedy happened in Huawang City, people's hearts are fluctuating. If the imperial court does not have an order to continue, I am afraid it will lose the hearts of the people. This matter has nothing to do with it. The criminal and agricultural affairs are under the jurisdiction of Chen Qian and Chen Fu Yin's office. In this way, if you reprimand them and keep them in their original positions, your Majesty will be more lenient. And this one has already been taken by us. Of course, a vicious dog with a bit on it will just sit there obediently, covering up the eyes and ears of those who care about it, and at the same time dare not make waves. Once the autumn harvest is over, the dust will settle. Just any crime of being an official without authority will be replaced As someone who is trusted by His Majesty, even if Inspector Wei Gaosheng goes to another place to serve His Majesty, Kao City will continue to be firmly in His Majesty's hands. This is the third benefit."

Shangguan Yufeng held the teacup in his hand and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, before, I only heard my father praise An Guohou as a rare handsome talent. Only now do I know that An Guohou is thoughtful and thoughtful, comparable to the leader of all officials. There is An Guohou in my office. By my side, I am still worried that my flowers will not be happy."

"Your Majesty's reputation is too high, and the old minister is also afraid that His Majesty will be guilty of protecting the fifth prince for the old minister. This is why I have gray hair and spent a night thinking about it." An Guohou didn't want to impress the emperor with deep thought, so he hurriedly Half joking and half worried.With gray hair and furrowed eyebrows, he really looks sad.

Sure enough, the emperor was in a happier mood, and even laughed a few times, "Don't worry, An Guohou. How could I convict a loyal veteran like you? I want to reward you. However, the timing is not right now. Calculate."

After finishing speaking, thinking of the intricacies of the imperial court, he turned cold again. Behind Chen Gan was the Ministry of Households, and behind the Ministry of Households... Hmph, although Wuhuang'er is safe and sound in the future, those people still have to beat them and don't put their hands on them. Stretched too far.All the financial and material resources of the Muxian family will be relied on by the emperor in the future, how can they covet them?
"An Guohou, I heard a few days ago that there was a small official under the household department who returned home late, but accidentally fell into the river and drowned, and all the account books he brought were washed away by the water. That account book is What kind of important thing can be taken home by a petty official? It can be seen that this household department usually leaves the rules behind, and it is too forgetful."

While talking, Shangguan Yufeng looked at the old marquis meaningfully, and the old man immediately understood, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is right. The old minister won the 30-year champion prize last night, so he went to the Marquis Wuwei's mansion." Going to fight for wine, I unexpectedly ran into Wu Mingyuan, the doctor of the censor. After questioning, the veteran found out that Mr. Wu is actually a distant relative of Marquis Wuwei. Mr. Wu is famous in Yushitai for not being afraid of power and hating evil like hatred. He has also heard about the little official in the past few days, and he is ready to write a letter to His Majesty just waiting for the evidence to be conclusive."

Shangguan Yufeng nodded, very satisfied.When the first emperor was in power, he carefully sorted out the surrounding small countries to ensure that they would not recover their vitality for decades, just to prepare for him to concentrate on the people's livelihood after he ascended the throne.And since he was a child, he liked literature and disliked martial arts, and without harassment from the surrounding small countries, he thoroughly implemented the rule of law. Therefore, he has always maintained a defensive and indifferent attitude towards the few houses left by the former emperor who were conferred due to military merits.

Years ago, An Guohou's eldest son got new food by chance, and he immediately donated it to the court without any selfishness. Later, he even found out the whereabouts of the five emperors, and he was loyal after several incidents.That Marquis of Wuwei complained of illness on weekdays, and never intervened in the affairs of the court, but he was a conservative and cautious person.His son was also a rare general. After Baiqi violated the frontier war, he defended the Stone Fortress for many years, and climbed to a high position relying on his strength.Now, the forces behind the two governments are willing to use it for him. In the future, the generals will become another weapon of his...

Half a quarter of an hour later, An Guohou walked out of the main hall with a calm expression on his face. Just as he was about to have a few polite words with Eunuch Duan next to him, he saw a person walking not far away, with a round figure, small eyes smiling into a line, and a vermilion official suit. Wearing the uniform on the body, it looks like a big full red envelope. This person is Zhao Qi, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, the famous smiling tiger in the court.

At this time he met An Guohou?When he came out of the hall, a trace of suspicion quickly flashed in his eyes, but his face was still full of smiles, and he greeted politely, "Old Hou Ye, I haven't seen you in a few months, how are you?"

"No, it's too rare to be robbed of the money. If it's alright, my lord has a red face, but he made a windfall there?" An Guohou said in a cold voice without the slightest hint of politeness.

Zhao Qi's face was a little embarrassed, and he hated Chen Qian even more in his heart. He didn't snatch the money for the useless waste, not to mention losing half of his manpower, and it also aroused the jealousy of An Guohou. He must be more careful in the future.Pretending not to understand the hidden meaning in his words, he said, "Old Hou Ye was joking, the lower official is in charge of the household department, if he really made a fortune, it would be our Baihua Kingdom's fortune. Hehe, Hou Ye just came from Come out, how is Your Majesty looking today?"

Knowing that he doubted his purpose of seeing His Majesty, An Guohou sneered twice in his heart, and said, "In half a month, it will be the memorial day of the late emperor. Your majesty misses the late emperor. This Marquis just told him something about the battlefield. I'm afraid it's because I'm in a bad mood. Mr. Zhao, please ask for more blessings. This Marquis will take my leave first."

After finishing speaking, he ignored him, and went straight to the palace gate and walked slowly.

Zhao Qi looked at his back as he walked away, narrowed his eyes, shook his hands hidden in his sleeves, and cursed secretly, old man, wait until the day you fall into my hands in the future, let's see if you can still be so proud!

Then he changed his smiling face again, and according to the usual practice, stuffed a bank note and begged Eunuch Duan to report.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion on Zhuque Street, Wei Xun, who has been under one person and above ten thousand people for many years, half leaned on the red sandalwood chair behind the desk, tapped the table with his right hand, smiling, as if he was thinking of something happy thing.But those who are familiar with him will immediately be more careful, because every time he makes this action, someone will be unlucky.

Sure enough, after a long while, the old man sighed slightly, "Although waste material is useless, it can still be used to burn fire. If we can take this opportunity to suppress Zhao Qi's family, it would be a surprise. But this game of chess is going to rest for a while."

"Wei Yi." The old man called out in a low voice, and someone in the room suddenly responded, "Here".But the corner where the sound came from was empty.The old man seemed to be used to it, and he said slowly, "The pill pills in Huawang City will be stopped for a month as a punishment. Send a letter to let him secretly monitor the woman with his current staff, and stop acting rashly. Don't worry about the seeds last year. Make sure to get this year's new species. Go ahead and do it."

"Yes." The invisible man agreed, and there was no more sound...

Regardless of Huadu's respective plans, Mu Ai is still living her life here. She doesn't believe that after the entire army is wiped out, that person still has the strength and courage to stir up trouble again.
Now, what she was waiting for was the reaction of the forces behind that person.She is also betting on whether those people are willing to risk exposure to fight her, or to settle for the next best thing and choose to monopolize this year's new seeds.However, according to her guess, it should be the latter.
