Will succeed

When the prime minister and others were proud, Taifu Mu suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, it is too late to build water conservancy projects at this time, so the immediate priority is to provide disaster relief and appease people's hearts. "Guanzi•Dudi" says: 'Those who are good for the country must first eliminate the five hazards.' Drought is one of them. Natural disasters have always caused great harm to the court and the people, if this matter is not handled properly, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

As soon as the words came out, the emperor nodded in satisfaction, and said, "It's not that I haven't considered the method Lord Liang said just now, but as Lord Xie said, it's too late to build the canal at this time. What the Taifu said is exactly the same as what I said The most urgent thing is to provide disaster relief, and only when the people's hearts are stable can we take the next step."

The prime minister's smile froze in an instant, and the emperor denied his own thoughts after Mu Xi's words. This tone was really hard to swallow!

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that disaster relief is a good idea, but the construction of water conservancy is also an urgent task! If water is not diverted to build canals in time, if the drought continues, then the Tang Dynasty... will be in danger!"

The emperor frowned, unable to deny the prime minister's words.Now Daxia is eyeing the Later Tang with covetous eyes. If there is another civil strife in the Later Tang, wouldn't it be a wedding dress for the enemy?

"Teacher, what do you think?"

While hesitating, the emperor still asked Mu Xi, and this question made the prime minister hate him even more.

"Your Majesty, I think what the Prime Minister said is reasonable."

When Mu Xi said this, not only the emperor, but even the prime minister raised his eyebrows.

"Teacher...what do you mean?"

Mu Xi took a step forward, bowed his hands to the emperor, and then said: ""Xunzi·Kingzhi" once mentioned: "Build dikes and beams, communicate ditches, drain floods, secure waters, and break the fortress with time. Destroy floods and droughts, so that the people have something to cultivate.' Building water conservancy is really a wonderful way to combat drought. However, this matter can be placed after disaster relief."

Mu Xi's words were ingenious, apparently he agreed with the Prime Minister's words, but in fact he vetoed them.

After that... I don't know how long it will be delayed.But Mu Xi is loyal to the later Tang Dynasty, so he will not let this matter drag on for too long. Water conservancy is a major issue that benefits the country, and he will not waste millions of people in the later Tang Dynasty just to fight against the prime minister.

Sure enough, no matter what the person who won the Sacred Heart said, the emperor would subconsciously think in a positive way, not to mention that what this person said was beneficial to the country and the country.

The emperor immediately agreed with Mu Xi's statement, while the prime minister was full of reluctance, but he had no choice but to spend some effort on selecting candidates for disaster relief.The construction of water conservancy has not yet been completed, so the prime minister must pay close attention to the matter in front of him, so as not to let the princelings get the upper hand.

Seeing that Mu Xi didn't say who would do it, the prime minister hurriedly said: "This is a wonderful move! The third prince has always been concerned about the world's worries first, and happy after the world's joys. It's perfect for him to do this gone."

Hiding the tension in his eyes, the prime minister just waited for the emperor's reply.

Seeing this, Mr. Liang, who had not made any merit just now, also refused to let go of this opportunity.

"Your Majesty, what the prime minister said is true. The third prince is concerned about the people of the later Tang Dynasty. After hearing the sad news, he can't wait to rush to the disaster area immediately to solve the emperor's worries."

With the first bird, the rest of the people are no longer intimidated. Who doesn't know that the emperor loves the third prince very much. If it wasn't for the lack of the title of a descendant, the prince would have been replaced a long time ago!

At this time, there was no previous noise in the court hall, and there was a lot of echoing voices.

Seeing this, Mr. Xie quickly winked at Mu Xi, but Mu Xi ignored it, and Mr. Xie was also helpless.

The emperor glanced at the princes standing below. Since the early dynasty, the princes have not said a word. It seems that they knew about this earlier, and let the officials under the banner fight for themselves, and they themselves will not be suspected. .

"It's not appropriate to leave this matter to the third prince, let the prince do it!"

A light sentence, without reason, directly rejected the intention of half of the officials of the court.

Everyone was puzzled, but no one dared to ask. Who would dare to influence the emperor's decision?

Now Master Xie is relieved, no wonder Mu Xi didn't say anything, it was predicted that the emperor would not let the third prince do this!

This morning, nothing was more happiest than Mu Xi and the people who protected the prince.

Lord Xie followed Mu Xi back to the East Palace with the prince, and now everyone in Chang'an City knows that Mu Xi and Lord Xie are the princelings, so they are naturally not afraid of anything.

How many confidantes a prince can have, the emperor doesn't care, after all, he came here like that back then.

After arriving at the East Palace, the crown prince ordered his servants to serve tea, and then went into the study with Mu Xi to have a secret conversation.

Before he sat down, Mr. Xie couldn't help laughing out loud. The Prime Minister's expression in the courtroom was really funny, and they fought another beautiful battle.

"This prime minister, I really laughed to death."

Hearing Lord Xie's words, the prince and Mu Xi didn't have any strong reactions, they just smiled lightly, but their eyes were full of joy.

Since he became the crown prince, the third prince and his party have been against him, plotting one after another, if not for the help of trusted people around him, he, the prince, would have been pulled down long ago. After all, the emperor's favorite is still the third prince.

Prince Li Jue has been ordinary since he was a child. Because of the empress's relationship, he never dared to get too close to the emperor, and always felt a sense of distance.

But the three princes are different, the emperor dotes on the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine doesn't pay attention to form like the empress, so she naturally let her son get closer to the emperor, and naturally won the emperor's favor.

However, the emperor is not a faint king, and he will not ignore the old system of his ancestors to make a bastard a prince.

The prince has been cautious for many years and has not made any major mistakes, so he firmly sits on the prince's seat.

But people are always greedy, and some people are not satisfied with the emperor's love and disdain for the position of prince promised by the emperor, and only focus on the throne of the prince, hoping to replace it one day.

Every time he thinks about this, Li Jue always laments the desolation of the royal family.

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Li Jue said, "We won by luck, so we must not be careless."

"Your Highness is right. The Prime Minister will definitely do some tricks in the dark to obstruct His Highness's way of disaster relief after this defeat."

"Then according to Taifu's opinion, what should we do?"

Master Xie also stopped laughing at the prime minister, and looked sideways at Mu Xi with a nervous expression.

Compared to the two who were nervous, Mu Xi looked much more relaxed, as if he didn't care too much about what the prime minister would do. "Hehe, Your Highness, Mr. Xie, you don't have to be nervous. The matter was only settled this morning. No matter how powerful the prime minister is, he can't come up with a solution so quickly. Let's just wait and see."

Even though he heard Mu Xi's words, Li Jue was still worried.

Over the years, the prime minister has done a lot of tricks secretly, and he has suffered a lot. How dare he look down on that old fox, so he said hesitantly: "Teacher, you and I know the treachery of the prime minister, you must not underestimate him. ah!"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the old guy's backyard is on fire, and he doesn't expect us to come here for the time being."

"Oh? How does the Taifu know about this?"

Looking at Li Jue and Master Xie who looked suspicious, Mu Xi smiled mysteriously: "This is the minister's trick, how could he not know!"

Hearing this, Li Jue and Master Xie instantly relaxed.They are aware of Mu Xi's methods, as long as it is something he designs, nothing is impossible, and the consequences are often very considerable.

Without further questioning, the three of them just looked at each other and smiled, and said nothing.

At this time, Li Jue gently picked up the teacup, but did not drink it.When Mr. Xie saw him, he knew that Li Jue and the Taifu had something to talk about, so he immediately got up and said, "If there is nothing to do, I will take my leave first."

Li Jue nodded lightly, put down his teacup, and said, "Then thank you, please go, and come to my East Palace some other day."

"Yes."

After Mr. Xie left, Mu Xi said with a smile: "Your Highness is getting more and more proficient at serving tea to see off guests!"

"Teacher was joking."

"Your Highness, before talking about disaster relief, I have one more thing to ask Your Highness."

Mu Xi's word "begging" can be said to startle Li Jue.Having been with Mu Xi for more than ten years, Li Jue has never heard this word from him. It seems that Mu Xi is not born to ask for help.This time I actually used begging, it seems that this matter will not be easy to handle.

"Teacher please tell me."

"I'm dissatisfied with Your Highness. I have a daughter named Muli. The foreign minister said that she died, but she actually entered the military camp. Now that I hear that the young girl has been selected as a candidate for the secret guard, I can't rest assured! According to the young girl's character, she will definitely be very angry. Work hard and strive to become a hidden guard. I want to ask if His Highness is choosing a hidden guard, can she be accepted by His Highness?"

It took a long time until Mu Xi finished speaking, but Li Jue didn't recover.As early as when he heard that Mu Xi's daughter had entered the military camp, he was startled. A young lady who was raised in a deep boudoir actually entered the military camp and became a candidate for the secret guard!

It is undeniable that at this moment, Li Jue's interest was aroused.

Li Jue's delay in answering caused Mu Xi to misunderstand that he was unwilling to help. He was afraid that Li Jue would blame Li Jue and implicate Mu Li, so he said to Li Jue: "If Your Highness finds it difficult, the minister has not said anything about it." Bar!"

Hearing Mu Xi's voice, Li Jue woke up startled, and hurriedly explained: "Teacher misunderstood, just now I was just thinking about what kind of woman would enter the military camp, and for a while, I forgot to answer Grand Tutor."

Seeing Li Jue's answer like this, Mu Xicai breathed a sigh of relief.He knew that Li Jue's words meant that he would not refuse, as long as there were people and things that Li Jue was interested in, he would definitely search for them.

Sure enough, Li Jue agreed to Mu Xi's request, and did not pursue the whole story.

I believe that Mu Xi will not tell the reason, no matter how close he is, he has to leave his own private space.

"My lord, thank you Your Highness!" Mu Xi cast a grateful look at Li Jue, "The little girl has a very strong heart, and I can't change the decision. In the army, the little girl's name is Fu Li, and her face is covered with knife marks." , Your Highness will know when you see it."

When it comes to the four words densely covered with knife marks, Mu Xi's eyes were full of tears, and there was a faint tendency to shed them. He was full of distress and didn't know who to tell. He could only do his best to make Mu Li live a better life and suffer less.

When Li Jue heard that Mu Li's face had been destroyed, the interest in his eyes grew stronger. He couldn't wait to meet her and see what kind of person this woman was.

"Don't worry, Tai Tu, what I promised will definitely be done, Tai Tu doesn't need to be too sad."

Mu Xi held back her tears, not wanting to lose her composure in front of Li Jue, so she quickly changed the subject: "Your Highness laughed, so let's talk about disaster relief!"

"it is good."
