Chapter 29: The Storm Rises Again

After all, he is innocent, and he doesn't want to make a mess of these partisans.

Of course, there are also people in the DPRK and China who say that Prime Minister Liu Cheng's move is pretentious and hypocritical.

But fortunately, Prime Minister Liu Cheng has a high position in the middle of the court, and he rarely involves the interests of others, so no one will design to harm him.

But Chen Mu is different.

The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.

Chen Mu's location is too important, he is related to the future of the Great Xia Kingdom.

Although Chen Xingtian now trusts him very much, there is no lack of voices in the court to change the crown prince.

Fortunately, Chen Xingtian had no other sons, otherwise he was afraid that those people's reactions would be more intense.

But although Chen Xingtian trusts Chen Mu, it doesn't mean that Chen Mu can sit back and relax.

That night, Chen Mu sat in his study, lighting the lamp and reading.

He had studied history in his previous life, and he was very interested in these ancient books, and it didn't seem that it was too difficult.

And since he invented paper, after many improvements by the Ministry of Industry and the people, the paper of Daxia is now very close to the rice paper used in his previous life.

Although the workmanship is still a little rough compared to rice paper, it is much more comfortable to write and read.

Moreover, although the science and technology of this Great Xia are backward, this ideology and culture are still quite good.

There are also a lot of commendable things about the book that has been written.

Chen Muzheng looked energetic, only to hear someone knock lightly on the door of his study.

"Who?"

"Husband, it's me."

After getting Chen Mu's permission, Liu Susu pushed the door in, holding a tray with a bowl and several small plates on the tray.

"Susu, are you looking for me?"

Chen Mu temporarily put down the book in his hand and asked.

"Husband, you have been working state affairs these days, and everyone has lost weight, can I not feel distressed when I look at it?"

Liu Susu gently put down the tray and brought the contents of the tray to Chen Mu the same.

"I saw that you hadn't rested so late, so I went to the kitchen to cook you a bowl of porridge, and some side dishes, you will eat some first."

Chen Mu usually eats the food cooked by the chefs of the Prince's Mansion, and as for his wife's cooking, he has not had a chance to taste it.

"You've got a heart." Chen Mu smiled slightly and picked up the bowl.

Although the chefs of the Prince's Mansion are not as good as the imperial chefs in the palace, they are already one of the top in the world.

Liu Susu's cooking skills are naturally not as good as those cooks, but Chen Mu has a different mood when he eats it in his mouth.

"Husband, what are you laughing at?"

Liu Susu saw the smiling expression on Chen Mu's face.

Chen Mu took another sip of porridge, put the bowl down, took Liu Susu's hand, and let her sit on his lap.

"I'm thinking, how did I pick up this cheapest girl in the world?"

There was some amusement in his words, Liu Susu suddenly blushed, and gently tapped Chen Mu's chest with his hand.

"You, you'll make me happy with all these rhetoric."

Chen Mu smiled and did not speak.

Liu Susu's gaze fell on the book in front of Chen Mu's desk.

"Husband, do you still know the art of war?"

Chen Mu picked up the book casually.

"As the crown prince, I naturally have to understand everything."

These are self-humble words.

For the ancient art of war, Chen Mu naturally has long been familiar with it.

The reason why he was reading this military book was entirely because it talked about a lot of examples of actual combat, and it was very interesting to read.

Speaking of which, Chen Mu felt that the people of Great Xia were really not easy.

There is nothing to eat, nothing to use, and even books are pitiful.

Don't look at Chen Mu's study and Chen Xingtian's study, there are a lot of books in them, but most of these are qualified to be read by officials above a certain grade.

It is almost impossible for the common people to read these books.

In this case, it seems that the only option for the people is to farm honestly.

The sun rises, the sun sets, and then the next generation is taught to farm well.

It's not going to go on like this.

If this continues, the social class will be solidified, and only the official eunuchs will be able to become officials.

And the talents of the people will be buried.

The evil consequences of this situation, Chen Mu also saw it in Dongyuan this time.

One by one, the officials have been from privileged families since childhood, and they do not understand the people's suffering.

And he doesn't have any brains.

We have to think of a way to give private students the opportunity to read and enter the official career.

Seeing Chen Mu fall into deep thought, Liu Susu gently helped him pinch his shoulder.

"Husband, if you are tired, rest."

"I'm fine."

Chen Mu came back to his senses and fell his gaze to the book again.

"If my husband doesn't dislike it, can I study for my husband? You can rest too. ”

Chen Mu thought about it and readily agreed.

In this era, it is really rare for a woman like Liu Susu to be literate and knowledgeable.

Seeing that Chen Mu agreed, Liu Susu picked up the book and read the words on the book in her usual gentle voice.

Chen Mu leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and enjoyed this precious quiet time.

After closing his eyes, because it was pitch black in front of him, Chen Mu's sense of hearing was much sharper.

Listening to Liu Susu's sound of reading, Chen Mu suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Out of nowhere, there seemed to be a faint sound of footsteps.

Chen Mu frowned dissatisfiedly.

Before he read the book, he specially instructed others not to disturb him.

Liu Susu was able to come in because of his special identity, and now which one dares to walk around outside his door without rules?

"Who's walking around outside?"

Chen Mu closed his eyes and asked loudly.

Silent.

The footsteps also stopped, and Liu Susu was temporarily quiet.

After waiting for a while, no one answered, so Liu Susu looked at Chen Mu suspiciously.

"Husband, did you hear me wrong?"

While speaking, Liu Susu also got up and went to the door, opened the door, and looked around.

"Husband, there's no one outside the door."

It's weird.

He could hear the footsteps clearly just now, it couldn't be an illusion.

A not-so-good premonition faintly rose in Chen Mu's heart.

He also stood up, walked to Liu Susu's side, reached out and grabbed Liu Susu's wrist, trying to drag her back.

At this moment, a clear sound of breaking the air came.

Chen Mu subconsciously pushed Liu Susu to the side, and he bent down and lowered his head, avoiding a steel knife that came horizontally.

And beside Chen Mu, I don't know when there was already a masked man in black.

When the man in black saw that he missed the blow, he raised his knife and slashed again.

At this moment, Chen Mu was prepared, dodged sideways, grabbed the wrist of the man in black, and slammed the man forward.

The man in black was unprepared, stumbling under his feet and letting out a muffled grunt in his throat.

Hearing the voice, Chen Mu was stunned for a moment.

Is it a woman?
