Chapter 44: The Way Out of Mufu?

Regarding the infiltration of the Mu Mansion by the Dao traitors, this is definitely the top secret of the Mu Mansion, and there are no more than five people in the entire Mu Mansion who know about it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and Sikong Yan analyzed this fact from the recent military dynamics of Mufu.

"Well, how do I know where the mole is. This time, Mu Shang's tone was extremely sincere, and his admiration for Sikong Yan became deeper and deeper.

Sikong Yan took a sip of tea very leisurely: "This is not in a hurry, we don't have enough clues to find out where the traitor is, but we can let him show his feet, and after that, it's time for you to calculate." ”

For Sikong Yan, everything is under control, but Mu Shang is anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and the impact of his situation and the position of the toast on his heart makes him unable to calm down at all.

"Please also ask Mr. Sikong to make it clear. ”

Sikong Yan put down the teacup and showed a reassuring smile, "Young Master Mu Shang must also be very clear about my identity and purpose. In less than half a year, I will follow His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince to the south, and when the time comes, I will assist you in eliminating the traitors in Mufu. ”

When Mu Shang learned that Sikong Yan would personally help him, he was overjoyed and immediately stated his position: "Mr. Sikong, please rest assured, if the fifth prince needs anything, I will definitely do my best to help." ”

Regarding the intention of Sikong Yan and Princess Zhaoying, Mu Shang naturally knew it for a long time. Although the Mufu and the imperial court have always not interfered in each other's internal affairs, not interfering on the surface does not mean that they do not take sides secretly.

The five princes don't seem to be competitive now, but the crown prince is dead, the second prince has not been made the new prince for a long time, and although the third prince and the four princes have their own teams, their talents are limited, if there is enough time, on the contrary, the five princes with Sikong Yan's support are more promising.

For the sake of today's plan, it is natural to form an alliance with each other, and on the road to power, no matter who it is, it must take one step, count one step.

Sikong Yan is giving Mu Shang further guidance on how to catch the traitor. This Shen Lanying couldn't help at all, Sikong Yan had never given her detailed knowledge of Mufu, and she knew a few people about Mufu.

Like her, Wang Leyu sat dry, and the girl had been quietly listening to the conversation of the others, except for telling the maid to change the tea, she had not even said a word.

However, Shen Lanying was very suspicious that she really couldn't help, or deliberately didn't speak. Wang Leyu was born in a famous family, and their Wang family was the largest intellectual family in the Yong Dynasty, which has been inherited for nearly two hundred years. The members of the Wang family have been officials for generations, no matter how you look at it, Wang Leyu will not be an ordinary woman.

Thinking about Wang Leyu's family, Shen Lanying's eyes subconsciously drifted to Wang Leyu's body, unfortunately, Wang Leyu happened to be looking at her, looking at each other, the girl of the Wang family smiled at Shen Lanying, and asked softly, "Does Your Highness feel bored?"

Shen Lanying, who was already bored to the extreme, nodded subconsciously, and only reacted when she finished this action, it didn't seem appropriate to be so direct.

But Wang Leyu said naturally: "Then let's go out for a walk." ”

For this proposal, Shen Lanying greatly agreed. So the two of them said hello to the other two who were discussing the plan to catch the traitor, Sikong Yan did not object, and told Shen Lanying with a gentle smile that there are many flowers planted in the Mufu that cannot be seen in the capital, and if you don't take the opportunity to enjoy them now, you won't have a chance in the future.

Leaving the main battlefield, Shen Lanying felt refreshed. Although there is a Wang Leyu by her side, she still has to always maintain an elegant and dignified princess demeanor, but it is much better than sitting in the house and acting.

I have to say that Wang Leyu is worthy of being a girl born in a big family, not only good at observing words and feelings, but also understanding and reasonable. As soon as she left Mu Shang's residence with Shen Lanying, she sent away all the maids who were with her, and she personally took Shen Lanying to the back garden. As she walked, Shen Lanying chatted.

Shen Lanying secretly sighed in her heart, marrying such a caring girl, Mu Shang is really blessed.

Thinking of Mu Shang, a Sinicized element, Shen Lanying couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect Mu Mansion to respect Han culture so much, looking at the layout in Mu Shang's room, it seems that he likes Han decoration very much." ”

Wang Leyu nodded approvingly, "That's right, he has always liked Han culture, although he can't even speak Chinese standardly, but he did start teaching Chinese by himself at the age of three." He also said that if all the people in Lijiang were allowed to learn Han culture, then the people of Lijiang would be at least twice as strong. ”

Listening to Wang Leyu's relay of Mu Shang's words, Shen Lanying couldn't help frowning, "If he thinks like this, then it's a bit extreme." With all due respect, every nation's culture has its inevitability, and if we blindly imitate others, it is very likely that instead of learning the strengths of other nations, we will lose our own advantages. ”

Shen Lanying thought for a moment, and then said, "Mu Shang is bent on strengthening the people's power, which shows that he is a ruler who is dedicated to the people, which is really rare. However,There are many ways to enhance people's power.,The best one is definitely not sinicization.。 Culture does have a relationship with people's power, but it is not the decisive factor in people's strength. ”

Wang Leyu nodded approvingly, and Shen Lanying threw out another question while the iron was hot, "In the southern country under the rule of Mufu, the people's strength is not as good as that of the Yong Dynasty, where do you think the biggest problem is?"

The biggest problem? Wang Leyu was stunned for a moment and said: "It should be the geographical location, nearly half of the border line is threatened by the Nanban, and the war is originally a matter of labor and money." ”

Shen Lanying shook her head, "This is indeed a factor, but in my opinion, this is not an essential problem, or even a problem. You must understand that if the troubles outside the country exist for a long time, our rulers will remain calm for a long time and not be deceived by the superficial comforts. ”

"Born in sorrow, died in peace...... Wang Leyu repeated Shen Lanying's words, her expression gradually became solemn, even though she grew up in the first scholarly family of the Yong Dynasty, she had never heard of this kind of saying.

Shen Lanying is not worried that this sentence will not shock Wang Leyu, this sentence is from the Warring States Period, it is a famous saying of Mencius, although it seems a bit outrageous, but when you think about it, it is not an exaggeration.

Shen Lanying paused and continued, "The real ill of the Mu Mansion lies in its economy. More than half of Mufu's financial revenue depends on minerals, but the gold and iron ore will always be mined one day, if Mufu does not find a new way out, not to mention whether its people are strong or not, even its future survival will be a problem. ”
