The reborn businesswoman is the queen

Chapter 262 Wei Wuzhen Completely Downfall
The morning of this day is destined to be unsettled.

Although Emperor Wu issued an edict to let Empress Zhao watch over the arrangements, no one was allowed to spread the news of what happened in the palace last night.But these things still spread throughout the entire imperial capital overnight, as if they had grown wings.The second-rank virtuous concubine poisoned the prince, abused the princess, disobeyed His Majesty, and was demoted to the seventh-rank Zhaoyi. There were many rumors among the marketers, who secretly praised Emperor Wu for his fair handling.

The Xiao family naturally also heard about this incident, Xiao Qingming was so angry that he almost got bedridden, repeatedly pointing at the imperial city and scolding the former concubine Xiao Gui, now Xiao Zhaoyi is confused!

But scolding is scolding, the disaster has already happened, and the rest has to be dealt with by the Xiao family themselves.

In the early morning of the second day, Xiao Qingming was the first to submit a memorial to plead guilty, saying that he was incapable of teaching a daughter, and begging His Majesty to come down.

To everyone's surprise, Xiao Qingming's move of retreating into advance did not have the desired effect, and Emperor Wu did not immediately dismiss it as before.Qi Chun accepted the memorial, and Emperor Wu put it on the table without any reply.

It was this little move that made everyone aware of the change in the direction of the court. None of the ministers of the Xiao family who had joined forces to intercede did not dare to come out and agree. The court was silent for a while, and only Emperor Wu's gloomy expression made everyone's hearts flutter. The eight strokes fluctuated, and the sound of breathing was cautious and cramped.

Wei Wuzhen's face was more than three points more gloomy than usual, his own affairs were still not settled, and his concubine mother made such a big mistake again, he didn't even have a remedy, and he didn't even dare to say a word. throat.

Wei Quan and Wei Shanzhi couldn't hide their joy.

With no effort, not to mention getting rid of a heir who might pose a threat, and pulling down a second-rank concubine, the Xiao family suffered a catastrophe, and their status in the court will probably plummet in the future.This serves multiple purposes, the expressions of the two princes are really wonderful.

Standing in the queue of princes, Wei Shi was rarely in high spirits today, but his face put away his usual foolishness and was very serious.

Emperor Wu saw the reactions of the children in his eyes, and without saying anything, he loved Wei Shi a little more in his heart.

What about the other children... Hmph, he just lost a son in pain. It seems that they are very happy and don't take his pain at all!
Emperor Wu's eyes fell on Wei Quan, and the dissatisfaction in his heart could not be suppressed no matter what.Wei Quan has always been loved by him, but he was so ignorant, and he took his sadness as his own luck, which really disappointed him.

In the delicate atmosphere, Mu Zhi called more people out, bowed and pushed the wat forward, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have this performance!"

"Mu Qing, what do you want to say?" Seeing that it was him, Emperor Wu knew that Mu Zhizhao had never been involved in party disputes and had no real power. Most of what he said had nothing to do with what happened yesterday, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said in a harmonious voice : "What about the Anshan racecourse that you mentioned last time, how are you planning and preparing?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the matter of the horse farm has been prepared, and the construction has officially started." Mu Zhizhao stabilized the pressure around him, and said in an orderly manner: "The horse farm is expected to be completed early next year. It is autumn now, although it is not suitable for planting grass , Danchen thought of a way and started planting grass, the effect is remarkable. It is estimated that when the racecourse is completed tomorrow, the new grass will also grow and can be put into breeding immediately."

"What method?" Emperor Wu became a little interested and leaned forward to ask.

Mu Zhizhao said with a smile: "This method is simple to say. I asked Mu's workshop to develop a new kind of oil paper, which is thinner and softer than the ones on the market. I will use the whole sheet as a spare. Then I made some arched ones out of bamboo. Use brackets to divide the land into blocks and cover them with oiled paper for sowing. After the seeds germinate, remove the oiled paper. In this way, the growth cycle of forage can be greatly shortened, and the plight of no grass in winter can be avoided.”

"Okay, this method is good!" Emperor Wu praised: "It's also thanks to you that you have a method."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment." Mu Zhizhao was very excited when he received the praise. He was able to serve the country, and no matter what, he had a place to display his talents.Furthermore, with good words in front, it is easier to say what follows, Mu Zhizhao bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I am now a second-rank Marquis, and I am favored by Your Majesty, and I am in charge of the racecourse. War horses are related to the war in the Great Wei Dynasty. Dare to be negligent, so I can only go all out. I am so stupid that I have no time to take care of the position of the leader of the Chamber of Commerce! I am afraid that it will delay your majesty's government affairs, so I want to ask your majesty to choose another virtuous person to take over the important position of the leader of the chamber of commerce !"

After hearing this, Emperor Wu felt a little happy in his heart, but he narrowed his eyes calmly: "You don't want to be the leader of the chamber of commerce?"

"Your Majesty, what Lord Muhou said is very true." Before Mu Zhizhao could speak, Zhao Yilong stepped forward and bowed to grab the conversation: "Muhouye is already a second-rank Marquis, and he is ordered to supervise the horse farm. Go all out, there can be no negligence in the slightest. The leader of the Chamber of Commerce is a fourth-rank official, and he cares about every detail. Lord Mu Hou is originally a businessman, so it is normal for him to find it difficult to adapt. If a small loss is a big one, the gain will not be worth the loss!"

Zhao Yilong was solving Mu Zhizhao's biggest dilemma, so as to avoid Emperor Wu's suspicion, of course Mu Zhizhao would not continue to reply so stupidly, and immediately stood where he was, bowing down and waiting for development.

Zhao Yilong was the elder of the two dynasties, and he had great prestige in the court. Emperor Wu also trusted him very much. After hearing what he said, he really remained silent.

Seeing this, Zhao Yilong winked at another minister, who immediately stood up and followed his footsteps and said, "Your Majesty, I second the proposal."

"My ministers seconded the proposal." Seeing this, Wei Shi smiled lightly, walked quickly to the middle, and said loudly: "Muhou Ye has now moved to the capital, and the father loves Long En so much that he has been named a second-rank Marquis. The title is already in the chamber of commerce. Above all, it is indeed inappropriate to take this position again. Lord Muhou has already been appointed to the capital, and has entered the imperial court as an official. He has talents and virtues, so there should be better uses. A leader of a mere chamber of commerce is too inferior!"

Ever since Emperor Wu asked Mu Zhizhao to supervise the construction of the racecourse, and made Mu Zhizhao a Marquis, he didn't want Mu Zhizhao to be the leader of the Chamber of Commerce again.It's just that firstly it's not easy to say this, let people in the world say that he is heartless and ungrateful, and secondly, if this word is mentioned suddenly, it will inevitably cause people to speculate.

Wei Shi knew very well what Emperor Wu was thinking, so he naturally hit it right. This is a good statement, which not only praises Emperor Wu, but also prevents people in the world from feeling that Emperor Wu is ruthless.

The most important thing is that he gave Emperor Wu a step down and told the people in the world that the commander of the chamber of commerce under Mu Zhizhao was to entrust him with a heavy responsibility. As for where and how to use it, he didn't mention a word, but left room for it.

Emperor Wu naturally liked it, and nodded immediately: "Shi'er is right, Mu Qing is talented, and the leader of the Chamber of Commerce is indeed wronged. In that case, I will take it back for now."

Mu Zhizhao's wish came true, thanked him with satisfaction, returned to his original position, and said nothing more.

The head of the chamber of commerce was vacant, so someone had to fill it up, and Emperor Wu had to ask the court for opinions.

Zhao Yilong immediately pushed Qiao Fengqi, and Wei Quan's family naturally agreed.This caught Wei Wuzhen and Wei Shanzhi by surprise, they didn't receive any news, and they didn't know when Wei Quan got this reincarnated Zhuge, they were stunned for a moment, and after reacting, Emperor Wu already nodded.

The dust has settled on this matter, Wei Wuzhen and Wei Shanzhi were extremely annoyed, and there was nothing they could do in the end.

Especially Wei Shanzhi, he went to Jinling earlier just for this reincarnated Zhuge, but after planning and plotting, Wei Quan got ahead first, how could he swallow this breath, staring at Wei Quan with resentment and jealousy .

He didn't believe that what happened today was accidental. Without Qiao Fengqi's careful arrangements, it was impossible for them not to receive any news.

The reborn Zhuge!
Wei Shanzhi thought about his grand plan, as if he felt a sense of pain and powerlessness that his dream was shattered before his eyes.This feeling crushed Wei Shanzhi almost instantly, his shoulders slumped, his head was downcast, and he lost even the energy to speak.

After Mu Zhizhao's resignation, the atmosphere in the Jinluan Palace finally became better, not as tense and stagnant as before.

Zhang Zeyuan took a few deep breaths, adjusted his mentality, and then he came out of the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I have an answer!"

"Zhang Qing, what do you want to say?" Seeing that it was him, Emperor Wu frowned slightly, and his eyes gradually turned cold.

Zhang Zeyuan bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I have made new progress regarding the case of the boy's murdered corpse. Please order your Majesty to review it!"

"Isn't this case closed a long time ago?" When Wei Quan mentioned this case, he felt that his heart was bleeding. He broke an arm because of those prostitutes. What investigation? Is your criminal department so idle? If you have the energy to hold on to this case, it is more important to do more practical things!"

Emperor Wu didn't say a word, he knew what Zhang Zeyuan meant and was thinking seriously.

Today is different from the past, he is angry with Concubine Xiao Gui, and also angry with the Xiao family, what Wei Wuzhen committed has become his fear.

Emperor Wu was thinking about what kind of storms would be caused once this matter was approved, and how to deal with the aftermath.

Wei Wuzhen was more panicked than Wei Quan, but he didn't dare to speak at this moment, once he did, the consequences would be unmanageable.But if he doesn't speak...

He couldn't allow him to think too much, only to see several important members of the Ministry of Punishment appearing on the list, pointing out the responsibilities of the Ministry of Punishment, they should continue to investigate, and begged Emperor Wu for permission.

"What you said is reasonable, I agree." Emperor Wu glanced at Wei Wuzhen, saw that his head was covered with cold sweat, and suddenly raised his head to stare at himself, then became angry, snorted coldly, and said firmly: "Zhang Qing, I I will give you 20 days to find out the truth!"

Wei Wuzhen's body shook violently, his legs and feet became weak, and he almost fell down.

Emperor Wu watched, he could only barely stand, maintaining the last bit of decency.It's just that what was said in the court later, he didn't listen to a word.The same is true for Wei Quan, he is afraid that Zhang Zeyuan will find out something again and bring someone from him into it.The two of them were so terrified that they didn't notice Wei Shiwei's slightly hooked mouth, laughing silently at something.

Emperor Wu said that it took [-] days, but in fact it didn't take that many days. Zhang Zeyuan found out everything, and the important witnesses in Nangong Jin's mansion were also handed over to the Ministry of Punishment. In less than five days, the truth shocked the whole world.

The secret behind the boy's corpse case was finally revealed. On that day, there was a light rain in the middle of Beijing, as if weeping for this female general who served the country and the people...
