Ever since Pei Yuan became the Minister of Rites, the front door of his house has been filled with people.
People coming and going were congratulating him on becoming one of the six ministers. This was a third-rank official. His position above the court could be said to have skyrocketed.
On the contrary, the people of the Bai family felt a little uncomfortable. In the past, none of the congratulations coming and going were directed towards their own family, but now they have become like this.
The more Mr. Bai thought about it, the angrier he became, and decided to go find Prime Minister Wen again.
However, this time he couldn't even enter the door of Prime Minister Wen's house, and he didn't even say a word that the Prime Minister was sick.
In this way, he was blocked outside. The angry Master Bai wrote a letter and scolded his daughter.
Bai Qin still doesn't know what kind of scenery her family has become. Since entering the Mu family, she has been confused by many complicated things every day.
It wasn't until I received a letter from her father that I learned that the family had been implicated because of her incident.
So she thought of a way to hand over the letter, saying that she wanted to see Mr. Wen.
Although Bai Qin is not that useful now, there might be another opportunity, so Wen Xiuting did not refuse.
"Wen Gongzi's father sent a letter saying that he is no longer the Minister of Rites. Tell me what's going on? Didn't you say that even if my reputation is ruined, you will guarantee the glory of my family?"
After all, Bai Qin is not a little woman immersed in the love between men and women. Most women raised by big families will focus on the glory of the family.
Wen Xiuting knew very well that Bai Qin must have been affected by external events. He would either kill her now and silence her forever about his frame-up of the Mu family.
Or find a way to stabilize her until the future. After all, he has been arranging things to deal with the Mu family for a long time, and he is somewhat unwilling to give up now.
"I know that the Bai family has been in trouble recently, but there is nothing we can do about it. The Queen has already sent a letter from the palace. It is the Mu family who is doing this secretly."
Bai Qin frowned. The Mu family had always been upright, how could they do such a thing?
"What do Mr. Wen mean by this? What do you think the Mu family is doing secretly?"
Wen Xiuting pretended to sigh, looking very helpless, and then took Bai Qin into his arms.
"You don't know something. The previous incident angered the Mu family. The second son of the Mu family sent a letter to the imperial concubine in the palace. It was the imperial concubine who mentioned the Minister of Rites in front of His Majesty."
Bai Qin gritted her teeth in hatred. In her eyes, her father worked conscientiously, and every sacrificial ceremony in the court was arranged properly, wasn't it?
Even in the previous ceremony of worshiping heaven, the emperor suddenly said that he would take the little princess out to worship heaven, and so many things happened. The people in the Ministry of Rites were in high and low circles for several days, and finally managed to make sure that the ceremony did not go wrong. .
Now the imperial concubine's words caused her father to fall from being a third-rank official. You must know that this is not as simple as being cut off from an official position.
The descendants of a high-ranking official of the third rank can all have a role to play. If he becomes the Minister of Rites and is subordinate to others and does not talk about the affairs of the court, it will be difficult for him to interfere in the affairs of the court.
"It's really disgusting. Just because of an undisclosed marriage, my father's many years of hard work as the Minister of Etiquette were wiped out. This Mu family is really powerful. They can actually control the high officials of the imperial court. Do they still want to overthrow things?"
Bai Qin has hatred for the Mu family, which Wen Xiuting likes to see.
"Qin'er, I know that your family has been wronged, but now the queen is not favored, and there is a little princess beside the noble concubine. The Mu family is now blooming with flowers, and it really can't be touched!"
"Why can't you move!" Bai Qin became a little excited. She had not been working obediently during this period.
"Mr. Wen, didn't you say that the Mu family was secretly communicating with the imperial concubine? Isn't this okay?"
Bai Qin's thinking was a bit too simple, not to mention that it depended on the emperor's favor for the former harem to grant private favors.
If the emperor is partial to others, this matter is likely to be resolved.
Even if the emperor is not partial, it is not easy to obtain evidence.
"Qin'er, this matter is not as simple as you think. According to His Majesty's current love for the imperial concubine, there is absolutely no judgment on this matter. Moreover, if you take action rashly, you may be hated by the Mu family."
Bai Qin was also a little anxious, and it seemed that she could only use her trump card.
"I know about this, but I still have other ways. During this time, I found a lot of war horse equipment in the Mu family. I don't know where these things came from, and I don't know where they will be sent. Anyway, they have always been there. Store it at Mu’s house.”
Wen Xiuting instantly became energetic. He suddenly thought that Mu Lan was very good at horses and liked to collect all kinds of famous horses.
After Mulan returned from the battle with the three armies, the emperor personally ordered that Mulan be allowed to raise horses at home.
This does not mean that the emperor allows him to raise more than a dozen horses. Most of the powerful families in the imperial city are good at collecting good horses.
It was very common for every household to have more than a dozen horses. The emperor's decree meant that Mu Lan could raise as many as hundreds of horses.
This is an imperial favor, but not everyone can afford it.
No one in the imperial city would really raise more than a hundred horses, and they were war horses. This was tantamount to treason, but it was hard to resist Mu Lan's liking.
"You mean those horse equipment are basically war horse equipment?"
Bai Qin nodded firmly. Although he was a woman from an aristocratic family, he could clearly distinguish the difference between ornamental horses and war horse equipment.
"If it can be confirmed, it is definitely what war horses use, and it is also equipped with iron protection."
Hearing this, Wen Xiuting couldn't help but sneer. It seemed that the death of the Mu family was coming, and there was no need to do the things he had arranged.
"Well done Bai Qin, I know that I have found you right. Please wait for a few days. When I have made arrangements, I will definitely help you return to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Rites."
After Wen Xiuting said this, he turned around and left. Unexpectedly, the conversation between the two of them was quickly relayed to Mu Chan's ears.
At this time, Mu Chan was entertaining three princes in his backyard. He took out the black tea that his father always loved to drink, but unfortunately, the three princes were not used to drinking it.
"This black tea is refreshing. For generals, the taste of green tea is too bland, and few can taste it. I forgot that the three highnesses are probably not used to drinking it."
The second prince smiled and said that Mu Chan was really a wonderful person. Some time ago, Prime Minister Wen gave him Yuqian Longjing in order to win over Pei Yuan. Everyone knew about this internally. Wasn't Mu Chan from the Yin and Yang family?
So the second prince took over the conversation with a smile.
"Young Master Mu Chan is right. I'm not used to drinking, but it's good to change the taste occasionally. For example, Jin Mu Chan, as the supervisory censor, must listen to all directions and keep an eye on the six directions, otherwise nothing will happen. Be careful if you check the wrong person, or if you fail to check thoroughly, you may end up making a fool of yourself.
