After I was Exiled, I Became a Noble Minister Chapter 322

    Zhaoyang County Lord struggled desperately, "Let go of me, I won't go, I won't go, come someone."

    mu Zicheng followed behind at a loss, sweating profusely.

    The Yuan family's home will rush over and shout loudly, "Let go of my county master."

    However, they couldn't get close to Mu Wanqing and were stopped by the guards.

    Mu Wanqing frowned, furious, "Hehe, I hate unreasonable people the most, the eldest princess is amazing? Is it? Go, I have to find the old queen mother to judge today, I am not happy, everyone should not think about it. "

    Mu Wanqing dragged Zhaoyang County Master out of the house, Yuan family chased after him, and got into a fight with the guards.

    Mu Wanqing, who got on the carriage, rubbed her face, put away her anger, "Enter the palace."

    The Zhaoyang County Lord, who was sitting beside her, lifted the curtain and glanced at it, frowning slightly, "My reputation is completely ruined."

    Mu Wanqing's expression was light, "Please be kind."

    When she stared at Mu Zicheng, she should know the result. Is the Mu family calculated?

    Zhaoyang County Lord:…

    The carriage moved slowly, Zhaoyang County Lord was a little flustered, "Do you really want to enter the palace? I'm a little scared."

    She has never seen a king before, and she has another mess in her family, and she has a guilty conscience.

    Mu Wanqing's mind was spinning fast, and she was already thinking about countermeasures. She was interrupted by her thoughts, and she was a little impatient, "Either die or get out."

    The county lord of Zhaoyang is angry, "I am the county lord who was proclaimed by the court, can you be better?"

    She can walk sideways in the southeast, and the female family members in the entire social circle respect her.

    Mu Wanqing gave her a roll of eyes, "You have caused me a lot of trouble, and you are expecting me to give you a good look. What beautiful things are you thinking of?"

    At the gate of the palace, Mu Wanqing lifted the curtain and greeted the guard directly. "Please spread the word, just say that Zhaoyang County Master and I are asking to see the Queen Mother."

    Actually, she has a token to enter the palace at any time, but she never uses it.

    Except as a last resort.

    "Yes." The guard glanced into the carriage, which was so big that it was unobstructed.

    After a while, the guard came back, "Qingping County Master, the Queen Mother, please come in."

    Entering the palace, Mu Wanqing got out of the car and walked without the help of the palace servants, and walked towards the Cining Palace well-known.

    Wherever she went, both the palace servants and the guards greeted her with a respectful attitude.

    This is the row of noodles.

    As for Zhaoyang County Master, she is entering the palace for the first time, who knows who she is.

    The Princess Zhaoyang was a little surprised, "You can travel freely in the palace."

    When she was nervous, she couldn't help but become a chatter. Balabara talked all the way, but Mu Wanqing thought she didn't hear it, and let her keep talking.

    Cining Palace

    Mu Wanqing saw the emperor who should not be here at a glance, and she stepped forward to salute the empress dowager and the emperor.

    The emperor gave a hand, "What happened?"

    He knows Mu Wanqing very well, and he will not come to Cining Palace if he has nothing to do.

    Seeing that the scene has been cleared, Mu Wanqing said directly, "The Yuan family mutiny, Princess Liuyun has been placed under house arrest, Zhaoyang County Master has come to Beijing this time with a special mission. ."

    What she said was very simple, but every word was like a bombshell, the emperor's mother and son changed their faces, "Mutiny? House arrest?"

    Mu Wanqing pushed Zhaoyang County Lord out, "You say it yourself."

    Zhaoyang County Lord bowed to the two with hands and feet, nervous and uneasy, "Your Majesty, my father... intends to occupy the southeastern islands and the nineteen coastal cities to become king by himself."

    The emperor's face sank.

    "Self-reliance?" The Queen Mother was shocked, "Is he crazy? Where does he get the confidence to be self-reliant? Does he think he can fight against the court?"

    "He has been colluding with Japanese pirates for a long time." The Zhaoyang County Lord fell to his knees with a plop and burst into tears, "Your Majesty, please save my mother, she is now under house arrest as a hostage, If something goes wrong, my mother will…”

    The emperor's face was very bad, but he was not shocked, obviously he had heard some wind. "Specifically."

    When Zhaoyang County Master saw this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she did not make a mistake in this step.

    "I only recently learned that my father's favorite concubine is a widow, and he gave birth to two sons with her. This is the bond between the two sides." She quickly explained, "Before our mother and daughter I don't even know, that woman looks no different from a Han woman."

    As for General Yuan's military prophet, it's hard to say if he doesn't know about it.

    "I went to Beijing this time, apparently to see for my father, but in fact to help contact and inquire about information."

    Her mother only gave birth to her one daughter and no real brother. After thinking about it, she felt that it was not worth it. Even if this great cause was accomplished, she would have nothing to do.

    Why is she charging in front, and those two **** enjoy the success?

    She went back and forth all the way, and she was undecided until she entered the capital...

    She took out a list, "This is the contact list my father gave me. As for whether it is true or not, I don't know. Please check the emperor himself."

    His eyes fell on the name of the right servant of the Ministry of War. This person has a close relationship with General Yuan, and the whole dynasty knows it.

    But now, he couldn't help but put a big question mark on the name.

    Zhaoyang County Lord simply sold it completely, "My father has secretly sent part of the property and two concubines to Liuqiu Island, leaving a retreat, if it fails, the whole family will go to Liuqiu Island. Ask the island to proclaim himself king."

    "Also, Aunt Zeng and the head of the family, Yuan Yi, who came with me this time, said they were taking care of and protecting me, but they were actually monitoring me."

    "They are not the masters, and they can't go on some occasions, so they brought me. I'm just a puppet in their hands, and they have to sell beauty when necessary."

    She poured the beans in the bamboo tube, and it was clean.

    The emperor was noncommittal, "Why did you suddenly defect?"

    It stands to reason that father and daughter are close relatives.

    The county master of Zhaoyang was silent for a while, "This way, I saw that under your rule, the people live and work in peace and contentment, I really can't bear to ruin it all."

    Mu Wanqing laughed, this is not honest, they are born nobles who only know how to enjoy themselves, when do they care about the life and death of the common people?

    Zhaoyang County Lord's body stiffened, he took a deep breath and told the truth, "After coming to the capital, I saw the prosperous capital, rich in financial resources and talented people. I am convinced that my father It is destined to be impossible, so I might as well abandon the darkness and fight for leniency."

    She seems to have opened up a whole new world, everything in the capital makes her new, confused and shocked.

    The economy is highly developed, no matter where you go, there are shops, and you can meet the needs of eating, drinking and playing within one kilometer.

    The things are very complete, I have never seen or eaten.

    The faces of the people are full of smiles, full of hope for life, their clothes are clean, their faces are rosy and full of energy. Had a pretty good time.

    Not to mention luxury stores, they are all rare treasures, any of which can cause a sensation in the southeast coastal area.

    What shocked her most was the Qingping Library.

    The vast sea of ​​books, the free and open wind direction, and the free and inclusive rules make people yearn for it.

    This Qingping library alone can make scholars all over the world return to their hearts.

    What is Qingping and prosperity? That's it.

    If you think about your own rule, you can't compare at all.

    Once a war begins, you will lose.

    Then why did she want to be buried with the Yuan family? Better to cut off the tail to survive.

    Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows, and I have to say, she is a decisive and knowledgeable woman, but her methods are not particular. "So, you found the Mu family?"

    "I have no other way." Zhaoyang County Lord did not want to offend her, "I can't see the emperor, and I don't know how to avoid the eyeliner around me."

    So, she thought of the Mu family, and rashly looking for the Qingping County Master would cause suspicion.

    Just one more turn.

    Actually, Mu Wanqing doesn't hate her, it's a good thing for a girl to have a plan to protect herself, but the Mu family must be taught a lesson to avoid being weak and bullying.

    "Then you are not afraid now?"

    "I'm afraid." Zhaoyang County Lord gave a big gift, "Your Majesty, I can tell you everything, the Yuan family's secret military training base can tell the truth, I just ask you to protect us Mother and daughter have two lives."

    No matter how important your status and money are, your life is not as important.

    The emperor pondered for a while, "Empress mother, you have issued a decree, and said that it is the rule to keep the Zhaoyang county master in the palace school."

    "Good."

    Zhaoyang County Master secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he was the safest in the palace.

    The emperor reminded, "Master Qingping, you have always been smart, you don't need to tell me, bring more people in and out, I am afraid that they will jump over the wall."

    "Got it." Mu Wanqing had already told her to go on the road, and the eldest brother's family had a few more people around.

    The emperor suddenly remembered something, "The sea area map is in the Hongwen Pavilion, you can go and see it, but you can't take it out of the palace."

    "Yes." Mu Wanqing was overjoyed, she didn't expect such a good thing.

    The emperor couldn't help laughing, "I now believe that you are a lucky star, and you can always achieve what you want."

    Mu Wanqing laughed.

    She plunged into the Hongwen Museum to study the map of the sea area, completely ignoring the affairs of the Yuan family.

    The emperor has a good idea, so she doesn't need to worry about it.

    Rumours are flying all over the world, and they say everything. The courtiers are also very curious. They dare not ask Mu Wanqing, so they go to ask Mu Zicheng.

    Mu Zicheng: ...I'm just a tool person, can I say it?

    "Nothing, I'm not familiar with Zhaoyang County Lord."

    There are always good people who keep asking, "Then why was Zhaoyang County Master reprimanded by the Queen Mother? It's still locked up in the palace school rules at the moment."

    Mu Zicheng won't offend people easily. Looking at his good-natured appearance, "then I don't know."

    "Your sister must know."

    Mu Zicheng said with a smile, "then go ask her, I don't know."

    Khan, who would dare to ask Mu Wanqing? She even dared to tear up the first and second assistants.

    Mu Wanqing was at peace. She found the hidden blueprints of the former ship and the specific materials of voyages to the Western Ocean in the Hongwen Museum.

    I have to say, I gave up eating because of choking.

    She looked at the relevant records and couldn't help shaking her head slightly. Since they have all gone to the West, why don't they make more special fish? For the so-called great country style, they also gave a lot of gold and silver jewelry, and the rewards were only some rare animals and worthless specialties.

    If you can't get the corresponding returns, you can't see huge benefits, you will only burn money like crazy, and the ocean-going sailing business will naturally come to an abrupt end.

    She doesn't understand, showing great power and looting wealth are not in conflict.

    Obviously, other countries have made money crazy by sailing, and they have completely accumulated the original capital.

    Shut down the country, it will only become more and more backward.

    Behind you will be beaten.

    The entourage came in and said, "Master, the servants of the Zhaoyang County Master's Mansion are asking to see you."

    "No." Mu Wanqing didn't look back.

    Don't say it's a servant, even if the master asks for an interview, you have to send her a post in a proper manner and get her permission to enter the door.

    The sun was setting, and Mu Wanqing was in the office. Just as she walked to the carriage, a figure rushed over and was kicked away by the guards beside her.

    "Ah." A scream sounded.

    Mu Wanqing glanced at her, she was a strange woman with a shrewd face.

    The woman quickly got up and begged pitifully, "Master Qingping, please forgive my master, she is young and ignorant, I will apologize to you on her behalf..."

    She looked like a victim who suffered great grievances, and many people came to see her.

    Mu Wanqing looked condescendingly, "Who are you?"

    The woman's eyes were flushed, "I am the aunt of Yuan's house, and I also ask the princess of Qingping to ask the queen mother for mercy, and let our county owner go..."

    She looks down on herself too much, she actually plays moral kidnapping.

    Standing at the top, all intrigues are in vain.

    Mu Wanqing walked slowly towards the carriage as if she didn't hear it.

    When she passed the woman, the woman saw that she was ignoring, stepping on, and taking the move, so she couldn't help being anxious and rushed over.

    Mu Wanqing was thrown straight, and her body hit the wall of the carriage, "Ah."

    She supported her body with her arms, and the pain on her face was unbearable.

    Everyone was startled, "Qingping County Lord."

    Mu Wanqing's entourage was furious, "Insolent, a mere aunt actually bumped into a high-ranking high-ranking official in the street, who gave you the courage? General Yuan?"

    The direction of this matter was completely unexpected for the woman, and she couldn't help being stunned, "No, I didn't."

    Mu Wanqing's brows were cold, "Come here, send her to the punishment department, say I was attacked and injured by her, and demand that the prisoner be severely punished."

    The woman was stunned and sent her to jail if she disagreed? This is too brutal.

    She wanted to struggle, but her mouth was immediately covered and dragged away by force.

    Mu Wanqing got into the carriage and glanced in the direction where the woman was gone, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

    It has been a long time since no one dared to make such an open plan against her.

    Yuan Family, this is a deliberate trial.

    I don't know if it really angered the queen mother? Or was it discovered?

    "Go to the pharmacy."

    The next day was the Great Court Meeting. The courtiers were shocked when they saw that her left arm was tightly wrapped in gauze and looked seriously injured, and they all asked about the situation.

    Mu Wanqing said the situation with an angry look on her face, "The Yuan family's aunt is so domineering and pampered that she doesn't take the first-rank officials in the eyes of the Yuan family, what is the Yuan family thinking? "

    The listeners are not interested, but the listeners are intentional, and the officials have some strange feelings in their hearts.

    The right servant of the Ministry of War has a very good relationship with the Yuan family, so he couldn't help but say, "Qingping County, is there a misunderstanding?

    Mu Wanqing said lightly, "I got someone to check, it is indeed the Yuan family."

    He and Lao Yuan have been in friendship for decades. Once in the court, and in the local area, they support each other, and they can be regarded as a community of interests.

    Mu Wanqing went back righteously, "No, the people praised me for doing a good job, it's the first time for me, why should I be wronged? Because she is older than me, is she shameless than me?"

    "Puchi." Someone couldn't help laughing, "Yes, the people are all on the side of the Qingping County Lord, and no one said she was bad."

    Mu Wanqing's public base is particularly good, the people love her, and now even the most difficult scholars are defending her.

    Mu Wanqing rolled her eyes, "By the way, you have a good relationship with General Yuan, right? Send a message and ask him to come to the capital to make amends for me personally."

    Mu Wanqing sneered, "I've been humiliated. I said in small ways that he looked down on women, and in big ways, he looked down on officials in the capital, thinking they were all softballs, are you?"

    The officials: ...they just watched the fun, why did they lie down?

    "Of course not, I also think General Yuan did not manage his family well."

    The right servant of the Ministry of War was worried, "It's not right for a little concubine to run to collide with the old man, but there is a reason for it, she is worried about her own little master."

    Mu Wanqing questioned meaningfully, "This is really interesting, worry about the little master? Does this imply that the Queen Mother is not kind?"

    Only then did the right servant of the Ministry of War realize the crux of the problem, and immediately became anxious, "No, no, no, I definitely don't mean that, I mean, it's time to catch up and learn a lesson, General Yuan Da. It's up to you to make amends."

    It was difficult for him to blushed.

    Mu Wanqing said with a smile, "Then please send the message to the Servant, the Queen Mother and I are waiting."

    The Right Servant of the Ministry of War: ...she is serious?

    No one came from the Yuan family, but after half a month, bad news came, "No, General Yuan has rebelled. "

    The courtiers were stunned, and the right servant of the Ministry of War did not believe what he said, how could it be after the Japanese pirates?

    But all the evidence is in front of you, the war is about to break out, the Yuan family has been operating in the southeast for many years, and there are Japanese pirates to help.

    Just when everyone thought the war was going to restart again, everyone who was hit by another news was stunned.

    The father and son of the Yuan family were executed in the middle of the night, and the Yuan family was in chaos.

    The Japanese pirates who had no internal response landed on the shore, and the wrong information led them into the trap, they were strangled, and a group of ships were also captured.

    After three months, this war was finally subsided.

    The Yuan family killed the nine tribes, and Caishikou was crowded.

    The Zhaoyang County Lord, the daughter of the rebel, was not punished, but rewarded her with a County Lord's Mansion.

    Her mother, Princess Liuyun, was also sent to the capital. Princess Liuyun was demoted to a commoner, but she could live with her daughter.

    It was only then that everyone knew that the Zhaoyang County Lord had righteously exterminated his relatives and exposed it in advance. No wonder the court had taken precautions and everything was one step ahead.

    The Yuan family's nest was overturned.

    On this day, Mu Wanqing spoke in the courtroom, "Your Majesty, I request that the sea ban be lifted."

    One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the courtiers jumped out to stop it, "It is absolutely impossible, once the sea ban is lifted, the coastal people will never have peace."

    "The Japanese pirates are cruel and inhumane. They have frequently harassed the people and imposed a sea ban. How are they going to live?"

    Mu Wanqing said lightly, "Last year the customs tariff was only 140,000 taels, which is not enough to support the local garrison."

    The Minister of Officials was very dissatisfied, "You can't just focus on money, the lives of the people are the most important."

    Others chimed in.

    Mu Wanqing was not in a hurry, and said slowly, "There are a lot of silver mines on the Japanese island. Our officials can work together to get a few large ships to go out to sea for a friendly exchange of gifts."

    "We are kind and friendly nations. They give away their heads from thousands of miles away. We can just take their silver."

    Everyone: …! !

    Take it? Is it a robbery? Tsk tsk, shameless enough, but also friendly.

    The Minister of Industry has surprisingly bright eyes, "How much silver is there?"

    He recently indulged in the renovation of the old city, watching the dirty and messy land replaced by the beautiful new community, the sense of achievement is huge.

    The problem is that this upfront investment is also huge.

    "As far as I know, at least 100 million taels of silver." Mu Wanqing bowed her hands, "Your Majesty, let's build a company, everyone will invest some money to take shares, and then use the company Going to Washima in the name of a gift for exchanges."

    "There is nothing to do with the court. As for the income, I suggest that half of it should be returned to the state treasury, and the other half should be shared by everyone."

    The court has only advantages and no disadvantages, so why not?

    As for the private, who doesn't love the silver?

    Everyone gasped, their eyes lit up, 100 million taels.

    This benefit is too great, and it has successfully aroused everyone's desire.

    The Minister of Officials coughed, "Cough, we really should have a polite exchange."

    The one who took the lead and resolutely opposed just now has changed his position in a blink of an eye.

    The small officials said: No matter how shameless, you senior officials are the most shameless!

    The monarch and his ministers made such a happy decision.

    Of course, if you want to go to neighboring countries, you need to build a few sturdy warships, and also have a strong firepower to ensure your dominance in the sea.

    You will also train a powerful navy, which can come and go freely at sea.

    It took six years and a lot of money to finally build the battle fleet that Mu Wanqing wanted.

    First of all, I had a few fights with the pirates at sea, and the pirates were easily wiped out.

    After the baptism of countless actual battles, the navy that has also won countless trophies has gradually grown up.

    The weather is sunny and the sun is shining, Jeju Harbor Pier, blue sky and white clouds and seagulls flying together.

    At the port, officials surrounded a woman dressed as a first-rank official, looking up at the warships, their eyes were full of pride, and their emotions were agitated.

    This is the battleship of Da Qi!

    Du Shaoxuan, who was in uniform, looked forward to it, "Madam, I'm thinking of going to sea."

    Who wouldn't? The corners of Mu Wanqing's mouth raised slightly, "Wait, when Daqi no longer needs me, our family will go out to sea to see the world."

    One day, she will drop everything.

    The officials were silent, she was the head of the hundred officials, the chief assistant of the ten thousand people under one person, an extremely personable minister, how could she not love power? Can you believe it?

    An official bowed slightly, his face flushed with excitement, "Master Shoufu, everything is ready."

    Mu Wanqing frowned, raised the colorful flag, and ordered, "Raise the anchor and raise the sail."

    "Raise the anchor and raise the sail." Countless voices sounded at the same time, and the battleships rushed out of the port like a rainbow, heading for the sea of ​​the vast sea.

    Sometimes, when riding the wind and waves, hang the sails straight to the sea. Note (1)

    A new journey begins!
