Embezzlement of grain money hangs by a thread

"The master has taught the apprentice since he was a child, and the apprentice understands it." After that, Mu Zhan turned around and returned to the room, and the great wizard looked sideways at the young man's back, not knowing whether it would be a blessing or a curse in the future.

About two quarters of an hour later, the father and son all changed into light clothes after bathing, and walked out of the bathing room to the lounge, with a soft desk, refreshments and hot tea, and then went inside to reach the focus of the day, the steam room.

The room was warmly lit, the walls were cut out of stone, the couches were made of stone, and there were several front pits the size of beds, which were paved with small blue stones.

Mu Zhan walked in front and opened the wooden door, a hot breath came to his face, he stretched out his hand and respectfully asked, "Father, please, brother Wang, please." ”

As soon as he entered this room, Mu Zhao felt that it was unbearable, and everything in the room was hot and hot, and Mu Zhao stood at the door and seemed to be at a loss.

"My father fought hard in his early years, and I heard that his leg was injured and he felt a faint pain every rainy day, and his father sat for a long time all day long, and he was afraid that his psoas muscle would be strained, so it was better for his father to lie down in this stone bed, and listen to the child tell his father about the wonder of steaming."

Mu Zhao nodded, walked towards the stone pit, stepped down and fell into it, and then slowly walked into the lying flat, although the room was stuffy, the hot stone was really comfortable to lie down, and the fatigue on the body was gone, making people feel as relaxed as if they were in the clouds.

Mu Mo and Mu Wei are like two little chicks, standing in place and not daring to move, who dares to sit or lie down if this father does not speak?

Mu Zhao looked at the two trembling sons with his spare eyes, and finally let go, "Today's family gathering, the children are rude, how to be at ease, how to come." ”

The two of them bent down in gratitude and found a place to sit.

Mu Zhan was as bold as ever, found another stone pit next to Mu Zhao and lay down peacefully, and after lying down, he began to chant in his mouth, "Father doesn't know something, although this house is in dire straits, but it is very good for people's bodies, sweat and steaming can relax the body, soothe emotions, relieve stress, open up the body meridians, promote body metabolism, remove moisture, and also nourish beauty." It was learned by the sons and the great wizard when they traveled to other countries, although they were in dire straits, but once they sweated profusely after steaming for a quarter of an hour, they were relaxed when they went out. ”

"Well, as far as you can say, I'd like to see if I'm going out in a quarter of an hour to get ripe." Mu Zhao smiled, he doted on Mu Zhan because he was more like a child, he knew less about the way of the monarch and minister, he loved to be coquettish, and he loved to make his temperament, which is what he excelled in.

Mu Yu was already sweating at the corners of his forehead when he sat in one place, "Erchen always likes to listen to the second emperor's brother and his father's father, and he only thinks that it is like a folk father-son bickering, which is interesting and kind." ”

"I am very happy to be well-behaved and sensible since I was a child, if every emperor is like Zhan'er who can speak well and fight with me all day, I will be sad about gray hair, such a clever person, one is enough. However, as Fu'er said, it is also pleasant to feel the joy of this folk family once in a while. Mu Zhao's tone was faintly smiling, and he seemed to be quite happy.

Before his father came, Mu Zhan had whispered to himself that he could talk to his father tonight without presumptuousness, and he could please with a little playfulness.

Mu Yu has the guidance of a master, Mu Wei is more miserable, the two of them speak debauchery, and they must have a reason to highlight that "the father is the proud son of the sky, with a heavy responsibility, must not have fun and mislead the country, the father and son of the heavenly family are also monarchs and ministers, and they should focus on major events in order to live up to the people's feelings." ”

After Mu Yu finished speaking, Mu Zhao didn't reply for a long time, Mu Yu secretly held back his laughter, his father was obviously interested, this person really didn't know how to speak at the right time, and he was so stupid that his father was so interested.

Mu Zhan didn't speak and looked at Mu Zhan's jokes happily, just wanted to see how embarrassing he was when he fell to the ground, but fortunately, there was such a person as Mu Zhan who likes to stir up trouble, Mu Zhan smiled slightly, "The third prince brother has always been rigorous and serious, and my father loves the third prince brother the most, but a few days ago, I heard that the third prince brother is in poor health, and it seems that he was seriously injured, I don't know if his health is okay now?" ”

"Oh? Is she injured? Is the injury serious? Why don't I know? Mu Zhao lay in the stone with his eyes closed, and there was a trace of worry in his tone, after all, he was his own son, how could he be completely ruthless.

Mu smiled far-fetched, "Erchen is fine, just a little injury, a few days ago Erchen encountered a group of mobs on the street, some friction between here is not in the way, but the safety of the city is under the control of the four royal brothers, recently the mob in the city has increased suddenly, and the royal brother needs to pay more attention to the safety of the city." ”

This Mu Zhan is really not a good thing, the injury is obviously due to him, but he took the initiative to mention it and call himself dumb to eat Coptis chinensis, he can't tell clearly, how can he be willing to be wronged? I have to drag Mu Yu into the water together.

"Mobs? What do you say? There seemed to be some displeasure in the emperor's tone, how could there be a mob at the feet of the Son of Heaven in this court? Just do things right under your nose, who can not be angry?

"Father, this mansion is not a court, isn't it here to enjoy the joy of family today? Let's not talk about the court. Mu Zhan's tone was tactful, and he didn't know who he wanted to defend.

Mu Zhao sighed, his eyes slowly opened, and his body slowly sat up from the stone pit, "What did you say, the father and son of the heavenly family, the first monarch and the minister, then the father and son, the king, you manage the guards of the city and the mob, what is the explanation?" ”

This sudden incident made Mu Zhao a little helpless, and he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt in front of Mu Zhao to "enlighten his father....... emperor"

Before speaking, Mu Mo raised his head slightly, and glanced at Mu Zhan, who was sitting next to his father, Mu Zhan nodded and motioned for Mu Wu to continue, Mu Wu was relieved, it seemed that everything was ready.

"Qi Qi father, there have been many beggars in the city recently, each skinny, unclothed, today the son of the minister to the banquet on the way, happened to bump into a group of people stopped the car and cried, what I heard really made the son of the minister uneasy, I wanted to go to the court tomorrow and talk about the father and the emperor, I don't want to be afraid that this matter will not be able to suppress tonight, the son of the minister thought, can the father see these poor people, after seeing everything is clear."

Mu Yu's face was embarrassed, and there was a hidden sadness, and Mu Zhao asked, "Where are the people?" ”

"When the ministers came, they met them on the way, and saw that their faces were dry and yellow, so they were brought to the second emperor's brother's mansion, and the second emperor's brother was kind enough to arrange for them to dine in the palace, and if the father wanted to see them, he would summon them immediately."

Mu Zhao pressed his head and slowly got up, and Mu Zhan hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Change clothes and summon." ”

Mu Zhan walked out of the sweat steam house with Mu Zhao in his arms, Mu Zhan knelt on the ground and thought about it in his heart, and noticed that something was wrong, he looked sideways at Mu Yu on the side, only to see Mu Yu smiling at the corner of his mouth, this smile was gloomy and smug, and he was so sinister that Mu Wu didn't say a word, he got up with a smile on his face and left, leaving Mu Wei alone, kneeling in place, it turned out that an unintentional sentence was in the arms of people and fell into the trap.

The four people who had already changed their clothes were in the main hall, Mu Zhao sat alone as the chairman, Mu Zhan stood behind him closest to him, and Mu Zhan stood at the bottom of the steps.

After a while, the guards in the palace came forward with a group of men, these people were disfigured, and they looked like refugees who had fled from their homes.

A few people entered the house and knelt directly on the ground but did not dare to speak, Mu Yu softly comforted, "The people here are the saints of today, you don't need to be afraid, although there is something to say, I will redress your grievances." ”

With Mu Yu's assurance, the man who took the lead slowly got up and gritted his teeth, with tears in his eyes, extremely sad, a dignified seven-foot man actually cried so miserably, which made people wonder what he had experienced.

The man seemed to have something to say but choked up and didn't dare to say it, he looked at Mu Zhao a few times, and then it was even more like a fish in his throat, and Mu Zhao's brows were locked deeper, "What's wrong, just say it, I am the master for you." ”

With the emperor's golden words, this man made another big salute, bowed three times and bowed nine times, and then opened his mouth to say something: "Back to the emperor's words, the grass people are Yanxun refugees, and they fled to Chaocheng with their brothers." ”

"Yan Xun? I already know about the Yan Xun disaster, and the imperial court allocated funds for disaster relief early, and taxes were exempted for three years? Why did your brother flee to this wilderness? Mu Zhao's face was already faintly angry, and it seemed that someone was about to suffer.

The man cried silently, and said hesitantly, "If you go back to the emperor, the disaster relief grain and grass people and villagers in the imperial court have not eaten a bite, and the county officials not only do not open warehouses to release grain but also forcibly collect taxes, and the villagers come to the door to ask for food, all of them fist and kick each other, and some villagers say that they want to go to the big official to sue, who knows that the officials and officials protect each other, only saying that he has King Shen on his head, and Ren is wronged in every way, and there is nowhere to reason." A pair of sons and daughters and his wife have starved to death on the way, and the family is ruined, and please ask Your Majesty to be the master of the grass people! The man burst into tears, and the last two words were even more sobbing and vague before he said it reluctantly, and after speaking, he threw himself directly to the ground, and the people behind him also cried and knelt under His Royal Highness, which made people feel distressed when they saw it.

Mu Zhan, who was standing on the side, said something cool, and he pretended to be surprised, "I see, I said why only the third royal brother has a mob to stop the car, but the fourth royal brother can only encounter the disaster victims and shout grievances." ”

At this moment, the people in the palace were already frosty, their faces were pale, Mu Zhao glared angrily, Mu Zhao was so frightened that he fell to the ground with a bang, he trembled and cold sweat flowed down from the corners of his forehead, and Mu Zhao was already frightened before he could speak. Because Mu Wei knows in his heart that over the years, his father has tolerated open and secret battles with the four princes, and his tolerance of doing things is based on his own refusal to bully the dark room for major affairs of the court and politics, and it is harmless to tolerate small things.

But now that he has become the prime minister of this companion food, the wine bag and rice bag of the corpse vegetarian meal, and he is also suspected of being a party minister, bending the law for personal gain, and his father will definitely not spare himself.

Today, there was a sudden catastrophe in the sky, Mu Wei guessed in his heart that he didn't know whether it was arranged by Mu Zhan or arranged by Mu Zhan, and after thinking about it carefully, it was only Mu Wu who wanted to let himself die without a place to be buried over the years, but fortunately, he had a famous teacher behind him to go through the disaster, and now the incident suddenly taught him to panic.
