Rebirth: Picking up a beggar and being attacked

After returning to the imperial city, Mu Ruixi reported to Mu Yuanfeng the situation in the southwest region. In fact, Mu Yuanfeng's Tianlong guards had already told him, and Mu Ruixi's report in the palace was just a formality.

"Xi'er, if we go to war with the barbarians now, what is the winning rate?" After Mu Ruixi finished reporting, Mu Yuanfeng asked him this question.

Mu Ruixi didn't even think about it, and replied directly: "Father, don't start a war."

"Oh? Why."

"Liang Pei City is now full of refugees, and there are not enough troops. If you start a war, you will lose."

"Are you so unconfident in Mu's soldiers?" Mu Yuanfeng looked at his second son, a little dissatisfied.

"Father, the southwest region is quite far from the imperial city. If you insist on going to war, you must prepare sufficient food and grass. Now there are refugees there, and there is not enough food and grass. If you lead troops to go, you must prepare food and grass, but you should know , if the army brings a large amount of food and grass, the marching speed will be halved. If the barbarians get the news that they will go to war, I am afraid that Liangpei City will be broken before our army reaches Liangpei City."

Mu Yuanfeng nodded in satisfaction, "It's not unreasonable, so what do you think now?"

"Replenish energy and store energy." Simple four words, but it is not easy to do.

"The father has already left Liang Yong and returned to Liang Peicheng's Cognitive Mansion. Liang Yong was originally from Liang Peicheng. I believe that seeing Liang Peicheng's current appearance, he will definitely reform and improve the people's living standards."

Mu Yuanfeng nodded, "That's right, water can carry a boat or overturn it, and the people are the foundation of the Mu country."

"At this time, don't go head-to-head with the barbarians. My son suggested that the father send envoys to negotiate with the barbarians."

"Negotiate? Negotiate with those savages? It's thanks to you that you figured it out." Mu Yuanfeng slapped heavily on the armrest, seeming a little angry, "Wouldn't this be a disgrace to Mu Guo?"

"Father, even though these barbarians are vulgar and vulgar, they are not without merit."

"It's just a bunch of savages, what can I do?"

"They live in a wild land and know how to live in a harsh environment. They don't have fields suitable for planting food, but they can hunt animals with skillful methods, and they can preserve meat for a long time. , for my Mu country, I have to learn." Mu Ruixi saw that Mu Yuanfeng's face was still not good, so he stopped talking, and bowed: "Father, this is just a little suggestion from my son. If you don’t listen, it’s still up to you, Father.”

"Well, I will consider your proposal carefully."

"Father, it is absolutely impossible to go on an expedition."

"I also know this. I have also seen those refugees, and I also know the tragic situation in the southwest from the mouth of the Tianlong guards. I will definitely not send troops in recent years."

"Father is still thoughtful."

Mu Yuan's son's cross family is still very useful to Mu Yuan, his face has obviously eased a lot, "Hmph, I am your father and king."

"Father, if there is nothing wrong, I will leave." Now that everything has been reported clearly, Mu Ruixi felt that there should be no need for him to stay here, but Mu Yuanfeng spoke at this time, "You want to close the case of Shao Guang's debt like this?"

"My son doesn't understand what my father means."

"Xi'er, as I said, I know everything about you."

"Yes, my father arranged for the Tianlong guards to be by my side, so naturally I know everything." The prince is used to it, and Mu Ruixi's tone is also very strong, but just after he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be talking a little bit. It was too straightforward, so busy looking at Mu Yuanfeng, afraid that he would get angry and punish him for copying the scriptures, but Mu Yuanfeng's face remained normal.

"I have arranged the most dragon guards by your side, you should know what I mean."

Of course, Mu Ruixi knew what he meant, but he was not interested in government affairs. He felt that it was better to talk to his father about this kind of matter earlier, "My father, my son and minister have no intention of fighting for the crown prince."

"Xi'er, you are part of the emperor's family, so we can't allow you to stay out of it."

"This……"

"Your imperial brother is too cruel and merciless to be an emperor."

"Third brother can."

"He is a concubine."

"He has all the talents that a monarch should have. I think the third brother is more suitable than me. Father and son really don't want to compete with them for the emperor." Mu Ruixi said.

"For that beggar?"

Mu Ruixi raised his head abruptly, but saw Mu Yuanfeng staring at him with scrutiny in his eyes, and Mu Ruixi broke out in a cold sweat after looking at him.

"A mere beggar, still a man, how could I allow him to enter my royal gate."

"Father, it has nothing to do with Zhan Yi."

"Whether it matters or not, you know in your heart."

"Father!" Mu Ruixi was a little flustered. He was afraid that his father would attack Zhan Yi. If so, he didn't dare to think about it any longer. Yi."

"I know you like him. The Tianlong guards also said that he is beautiful. Having him by your side is better than sending you to Huajie and Liuxiang. He can stay by your side, but he will not have any status."

Hearing what Mu Yuanfeng said, Mu Ruixi heaved a sigh of relief, "It's fine if the father doesn't kill him, and I have nothing else to ask for."

"Well, it's good that you know it in your heart." Mu Yuanfeng looked at Mu Ruixi who was already sweating on his forehead, and suddenly felt that his father was a little sad. He was not only feared by the world, but also feared by his own children. , being an emperor may not be that good, but he has to hand over the country he has built so hard to a reliable person, "Shao Wenbin is still unable to move, he has a lot of money in his hands, and most officials in the court There are also reasons for him, if you move him, the whole court will be shaken."

"I know it. That's why I think that the best candidate for the crown prince is the third brother. The third brother has a lot of connections. If he wants to move Shao Wenbin and his subordinates, the third brother is the best candidate."

"Is that why you don't want to be emperor?"

"My son, I don't want to." Mu Ruixi replied firmly.

"Your elder brother wants to die."

"I'm not him." Mu Ruixi emphasized.

"It's good that you are not him." Mu Yuanfeng laughed after hearing this, "You are the best at fighting among my many sons, but you are also the most stupid, that's all, I'll think about the matter of the crown prince."

"Thank you, Father."

"Go back, just stay at home during this time."

"Yes." Mu Ruixi agreed, and quickly backed out.

This was the most conversation I had with my father. I was very nervous at first, but after that, it became a bit like a father-son conversation. Mu Ruixi felt a little happy for no reason. At least my father listened to his opinion, and Zhan Yi also seemed to It was a good start to be accepted by the father.

However, he hadn't been happy for a long time, and when he was about to return to Prince Xi's mansion, he met someone he didn't meet—the brother who killed him in the previous life, Mu Ruishi.

He did have the urge to slap Mu Ruishi to death, but he still held back. Now that Mu Ruizhi hasn't done anything harmful to him, if he seriously injured him, he might be caught and punished , if he was killed, he would be criticized by others, but now he can only put on a straight face to Mu Ruizhi as before, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Huang, long time no see."

Mu Ruizhi was no longer surprised by Mu Ruixi's expression, and cupped his hands at him, saying, "Second brother is really a busy man, it's really not easy to meet up."

"What is the reason for the emperor's visit this time?"

"I heard that my second brother was injured in the southwest this time, so I brought some supplements for my second brother." Mu Ruishi glanced at the servants behind him, and the servants immediately filled up the boxes one by one side by side. When the box is opened, there are ginseng, velvet antler, ganoderma lucidum, snow lotus... really a lot.

"These are all high-quality tonics, and the second brother must be under his command."

"Brother Huang gave it to you, so there's no reason not to." Mu Ruixi immediately sent the housekeeper to order his servants to accept all these gifts, "Brother Huang, what else do you want?"

Mu Ruixi's tone obviously did not want Mu Ruishi to go in. When Mu Ruishi heard this, the smile on his face was a little stiff, but then he smirked again: "Second brother, won't you invite me in?"

"Brother Huang went in after dinner time." This was obviously blocking people, and Mu Ruizhi heard it, and his face was a little uneasy, "Doesn't the second brother like beauties? It's rare to come back this time, otherwise I will be with you." Brother, let’s go to Wanqingju to have a look together?”

"No need, brother, I was taught a lesson by my father just now. During this time, my father asked me to cultivate my self-cultivation at home and not go out. It's better for me to go to those places less, otherwise my father will find out, and I have to go out." Go back and copy the scriptures."

"This...well then, you take good care of yourself at home, and I'll take my leave first as a brother."

"Brother Huang, go slowly." What Mu Ruixi said meant that he wished that Mu Ruishi would leave. Mu Ruishi heard the veins on his forehead popping out, but he still had a stiff smile on his face, but when he turned around, he His face changed, looking sinister and cautious, those attendants shrank their heads, "What are you still doing? Go back to the house."

"Yes." The attendant left behind Mu Ruishi in fear, and Mu Ruixi watched him go from behind. It took a lot of effort to not hold back and gave Mu Ruishi a kick. He lifted his foot Stepping into his palace, he said coldly to the housekeeper, "Throw away all the things he sent over."

"Yes." His tone made the butler break out in a cold sweat. He was a little puzzled as to why his lord was so angry, but he still obeyed the lord's order and ordered his servants to throw away all the things Mu Ruizhi sent.

……

After Zhan Yi came back, Mu Ruixi invited a teacher to teach Zhan Yi to read and write. Now he has a clear goal, writes seriously, and has made great progress. The teacher also praised him again and again.

When Mu Ruixi came back, Zhan Yi was still sitting on the desk practicing the newly learned characters. He was so serious that he didn't even notice that Mu Ruixi was standing behind him.

Mu Ruixi looked at the words he wrote, and nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, these words have improved a lot."

"Ah, my lord!" Because of Mu Ruixi's words, Zhan Yi's last stroke was crooked, and he looked at it with some regret, "Greetings to my lord."

"How many times have I said that when it's just the two of us, we don't need to say hello, do you want to be punished again?"
