Chapter 60 The Rise of the Prince

Qin Mu picked up Wei Hanyu and happily walked around in a circle, and repeated it excitedly.

"Sister Hanyu, we will have our own children." Seeing Wei Hanyu nodding slightly and turning his back, Qin Mu was not surprised, and turned to look for her. Seeing Wei Hanyu carrying her on his back, his eyes were rosy.Qin Mu leaned forward, cupped Wei Hanyu's cheek, and kissed off the crystal, the salty taste melted on the tip of his tongue but filled with happiness.She stared at Wei Hanyu, she knew what a strong person Wei Hanyu was, who fought bloody battles and tongues, never saw her weakness, but now when she learned that she would have a child, she just took off her indestructible shell, Exude sensibility.Qin Mu hugged Wei Hanyu tightly, she wanted Wei Hanyu to feel more secure.She knew that what she had given her was not enough, far from enough.She knew that Wei Hanyu would occasionally wake up from his dream at midnight because he was afraid of losing her.She had to make herself stronger so that Wei Hanyu would no longer worry about her. She also had to become stronger in order to protect Wei Hanyu and their children in the future.

The next day, Qin Mu came to the imperial study with the ledger that Qin's second son gave her yesterday, opened the door and entered, and saw Wei Yanhan lying on the ground fighting crickets together with a few of his followers.Seeing Qin Mu coming, Wei Yanhan was startled, and hurriedly asked a few followers to put the crickets away.The others put it away in a hurry.

After Qin Mu looked at it, he smiled and said something.

"The prince has been working hard on his studies recently, and if he wants to have fun, it's okay."

When Wei Yanhan heard it, he shook his head like a rattle, and said.

"Qin Mu, the day of the competition seems to be approaching day by day. I have been so nervous that I couldn't sleep all night. Look at my dark circles." Wei Yanhan pointed to his eye sockets and said distressedly.

"I have memorized all the ancient books you arranged for me these days. When will you teach me how to shoot arrows?"

"Prince, don't worry. You should take a look at this first." Qin Mu put the account book on the table, and Wei Yanhan hurried up to take a look.Good guy, officials from the seventh rank to the first rank in the Wei state have all the evidence of corruption.Wei Yanhan who watched was dumbfounded.Many of them have names circled in red.

"These are all Lu family's cronies, and I marked them with red pen, and the ones marked with black pen are those that I think can be used by us." Qin Mu pointed to the circled names on the account book, and said lightly.

Wei Yanhan looked at Qin Mu and asked with a look of embarrassment.

"What should we do next?"

"Submit this ledger tomorrow morning, and Emperor Wei will send the Metropolitan Procuratorate to check it out. And for those people marked with black pen, you tear off their pages and send them to their homes. These people are smart people. I will definitely understand what you mean, Prince." Qin Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes full of calculations.

"Brilliant trick!" Wei Yanhan slapped the table and stood up, "I've long since disliked that Lu Xu, and I'm so proud of him. I just want to punish him."

"Prince, your power in the court is too weak now, you must consolidate your power and let your own people hold real power." Qin Mu said leisurely, touching his chin.In Huang Mingshan, she was in charge of all the major officials of the Wei State, which ones were available and which ones should be eliminated, and she already had a list in her mind.

"Okay, if this matter is accomplished, I'll take your position as Grand Tutor from your father first." Wei Yanhan clenched his fists, his eyes flashed with flames of victory.

************************************************** *********

A few days later, the Metropolitan Procuratorate conducted a thorough investigation based on the account book reported by the prince, and found that every penny of the embezzled money in the account book was true, and all the officials involved were dismissed.And recovered 8000 million taels of gold and entered the treasury.Emperor Wei was overjoyed.It was decided to reward Wei Yanhan.Wei Yanhan naturally told the truth, half of Qin Mu's credit.Qin Mu was awarded the title of Grand Tutor, with a fourth-rank official position.

In the middle of the night that day, the Lu residence was not peaceful.Lu Youwei coughed up old blood angrily, and was bedridden with Lu Xu by his side.Lu Youwei shook Lu Xu's hand and said angrily.

"This Emperor Wei doesn't think about the past friendship at all. This time, all, all the people who are dismissed are from my Lu family."

"Father, don't get angry and take care of your body." Lu Xu sighed, holding Lu Youwei's hand back, and said.

"Xu'er, the Lu family's influence in the court has been reduced a lot this time. Something must be done." Lu Youwei gritted his teeth, looked at Lu Xu, and said angrily.Seeing Lu Xu smirked, he said.

"Since the prince chooses to confront us head-on, don't blame me for being cruel."

"Xu'er, the sudden rise of the prince is not a good thing for me. I must suppress him immediately." Lu Youwei sat up weakly, his eyes emitting a dark light.

"My boy has his own way to make his crown prince status unsafe." Lu Xu nodded, looking coldly at the dark night sky outside the window.

************************************************** *********

The next day, in the early morning, Qin Mu changed out of his casual clothes, put on the official uniform of the Taifu, and stepped into the hall, with a calm expression, just like a Taishi.All the officials also stepped forward one after another to express their congratulations.Qin Mu is the first person in the Wei Kingdom who is both a son-in-law and an official. It is conceivable that his skills are not ordinary.

"Teacher Qin, congratulations." Dong Rui, the prefect of Qinzhou, stepped forward to express his goodwill.Qin Mu nodded. This is the person he left in the booklet. Although this person is greedy for money, he managed Qinzhou well and won the hearts of the people.It can be seen that this person is somewhat clever.Seeing Qin Mu nodding, Dong Rui leaned forward and whispered to Qin Mu.

"Qin Taifu often accompanies the crown prince, please help me to bring it to the crown prince, if the crown prince is useful to the subordinates, the subordinates will be so heartbroken, they will not hesitate to do so."

Qin Mu raised the corners of his lips and smiled, pretending to understand and nodded slowly.

Before the court was warmed up, a guard staggered towards the main hall, knelt in front of the hall, and said loudly.

"Report, Your Majesty, hundreds of villagers gathered outside the east gate, clamoring to see His Majesty, and clamoring to apply for His Highness the Crown Prince."

When Qin Mu heard this, he frowned slightly, and his gaze fell on Wei Yanhan leisurely. Wei Yanhan looked at him at the same time, shrugged, with a blank expression on his face.

"Your Majesty, the villagers have always been gentle. There must be a reason why there is such a big public resentment. I hope Your Majesty will go and see for himself." Lu Xu stepped forward, not forgetting to add fuel.Emperor Wei's heart was also depressed, he looked at Wei Yanhan, and saw Wei Yanhan looking at him with grievance.With a wave of his long sleeves, he walked out of the hall, all civil and military officials followed behind Emperor Wei.

Sure enough, as the guards said, a lot of villagers gathered outside the main hall, all holding hoes and baskets in their hands, when they saw Wei Yanhan, they shouted angrily.

"It's him." Qin Mu looked at Wei Yanhan again, his eyes flickered, as if he also recognized these villagers.I screamed in my heart that it was not good.

"It's him who led a large group of people to play, trampled on the crops of our entire village, and starved many people to death in the whole village." One of the village chiefs, who looked like a man, shouted angrily.

Others followed suit.

"You guys," the word untouchable was about to blurt out from Wei Yanhan's mouth, but Qin Mu stopped him by tugging on his sleeve.Qin Mu glanced at Wei Yanhan and said leisurely.

"Calm down, don't fall into the trap." Wei Yanhan took a deep breath and said angrily.

"I also entered the crop field by mistake that day, and I also gave you a large sum of money. Now you have received the money and refused to accept it, and you will scold me in turn."

After Wei Yanhan finished speaking, Qin Mu's face darkened, as soon as the words came out, there was no doubt that there was such a thing by default.

"Send Dali Temple to thoroughly investigate this matter." Emperor Wei said with a cold look at Wei Yanhan.In less than an hour, the Dali Temple reported, hundreds of villagers testified, Wei Yanhan not only refused to apologize, but also injured several villagers.Emperor Wei was furious and punished Wei Yanhan for copying Buddhist scriptures a hundred times and confining him in his bedroom.

Wei Yanhan refused to accept and wanted to mention the above, but was pulled back by Qin Mu.When the two walked out of the hall, Wei Yanhan immediately erupted, kicking the big tree beside him and shouting angrily.

"Father, why don't you believe me."

"Prince, there is something strange about this matter." Qin Mu stood aside and said calmly.Hearing this, Wei Yanhan suppressed his anger, looked at Qin Mu, and asked.

"What's the matter?"

"When did this happen?" Qin Mu raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Before hunting in Mount Li, it should have happened two months ago." Wei Yanhan said after thinking about it.

"Since it happened two months ago, why did these villagers come to sue now?"

"These untouchables must have spent all the money I gave them, and they want to blackmail me again." Wei Yanhan had nowhere to vent his anger at this moment, so he just found a few eunuchs and beat them up.

"No. This happened after we cleared up the corrupt officials. Someone should have intentionally targeted you, the prince." Qin Mu touched his chin and calmly analyzed.

"That kid Lu Xu?" Wei Yanhan looked at Qin Mu and clenched his fists.

"It must be him." Qin Mu nodded and said.Wei Yanhan gritted his teeth, and Qin Mu patted his shoulder and said.

"Prince, hold your breath. Avoid the limelight first, and we will have a chance to turn around."

****************************************************************

For several days in a row, Wei Yanhan really stayed in the bedroom obediently, copying Buddhist scriptures as punishment.calm.A few days later, the palace received news of a drought in the north.Although warehouses have been opened for disaster relief, the famine is severe.

The next day, in the early morning, there was another commotion outside the hall, Wei Yanhan broke into the hall regardless of the guards' obstruction.Entering the hall, Wei Yanhan folded his fists and knelt on the ground. Emperor Wei saw that he was devout, and today he heard that he had devoted himself to repentance.wake him up.Wei Yanhan got up and said.

"Recently there has been a famine in the north. In order to make up for the mistakes I made at the beginning, I sacrificed my blood to the sky. I hope that the rain god can help me."

As soon as Wei Yanhan's words came out, the court immediately burst into flames. All the courtiers were amazed. Some people said that the prince was stupid for reading Buddhist books today.

Wei Di frowned, seeing that Wei Yanhan's eyes were firm, he didn't seem to be joking.Glancing at Qin Mu again, Qin Mu nodded slightly at Emperor Wei.This time, Emperor Wei slightly relaxed his frowning eyebrows, waved his long sleeves, and said something.

"I'm ready."
