Chapter 1264: I don't want to be unlucky
Mu Changzuo's words. Once again, everyone present was silenced. Not bad. Those things he just said. There's nothing wrong with that, of course. This time around. At that time, if no one mentions Mu Changzuo's name. That's all. That's it. But once someone mentioned it, Mu Changzuo was there. I'm afraid it's going to be a bit hard to end.
And judging from the current situation. This incident has to be said to be too eye-catching. There are a lot of people who care about this matter. Although Zhang Fan is thousands of miles away. I don't know what it's like in the capital. But he also heard it from Feng Bao's mouth. When Zhang Fan's recital was passed back. It can be said that there is a lot of discussion in the court. Although the decision was made on the same day. But it wasn't until Feng Bao left Beijing and thought about coming this way. You can also hear voices talking about this matter everywhere.
From above. In the future, I want not to mention Mu Changzuo's name. That's probably too difficult. And once it was mentioned, Mu Changzuo's name. Trouble will come one after another. Even if it's the time. Zhang Fan made it clear in the past. This matter has nothing to do with Mu Changzuo. That's no use. At that time, there will definitely be people who impeach Mu Changzuo for dereliction of duty.
Some might say. In the middle of the Ming and Ming dynasties, a holy decree had already been issued. handed over this matter to Zhang Fan and Liu Xian to ask. Case. Doesn't that have anything to do with Mu Changzuo? But that's not the case. And even if it's not messing around. I can also say the truth. You Mu Changzuo is the Duke of Qianguo and the general of Zhengnan. It has the responsibility of guarding Yunnan. And now this is happening in Vinh Ninh Mansion. It's also on the border of your Yunnan.
That being the case. This matter is naturally your Qianguo Gong's business. And so it goes. Why should you wait for the decree of the imperial court? There is no need to mention this kind of thing. You should have taken the initiative to send troops to quell the rebellion.
But. The fact is that you, Mu Changzuo, didn't do it. It's not just that they didn't. Even from the beginning to the end of this whole thing. You haven't even shown your face once. That's it. You Mu Changzuo is accused of dereliction of duty. That is, it is solid. Definitely didn't run away. Maybe it doesn't matter this once. But this kind of thing. There are two if there is one. There are two and there are three. Even the second time it was so easy to dissolve. Who can guarantee that it will be the same for the third time. Will Yunnan. Give such a large piece of land to you Mu Changzuo to guard. Can the emperor rest assured.
That's it. It's even simpler. Since you can't reassure the above. Then it's good to have someone who can reassure you.
Of course. There may still be people. Mu Changzuo inherited the position of Duke of Qianguo in the sixth year of Longqing. And after he became the Duke of Qianguo. It's been very low-key. There is no sin against any person at all. That being the case. Why would anyone in the court still want to put him to death?
The reason for this question. It's even simpler. There are always a few good people in the DPRK. This is true. But that's not really the reason. The real reason is. Someone wants to replace it. The ancestor of the Mu clan is Mu Ying. That is Zhu Yuanzhang's righteous son. is the person who helped Zhu Yuanzhang fight the country. And the history of the Mu family. It's the same length as the Ming Dynasty.
Until now. It's been more than two hundred years. The Zhu family has bred so many children and grandchildren. But it's good. There are a lot of seats for the king of Qingwang below. Even if there are people who are dissatisfied. But he didn't dare to say anything. But what about his Mu family. There is only one position in Qianguogong. Of course. Through the relationship of the Mu family. Find another career in the DPRK and China. That's going to work, too. But that's not as happy as being a prince of Qianguo.
When Mu Chaobi had an accident. I was really happy that many people in the Mu family were broken. Because Mu Chaobi once something happens. The position of the Duke of Qianguo is vacant. Anyway. Someone has to take care of it. Other words. In this way. As long as it is the descendant of the Mu family. Then there will be a chance. Although there are big and small opportunities. But after all, there are opportunities.
And finally. This opportunity fell on Mu Changzuo's head. What about him. Naturally, I also grasped it. became this Qianguo Gong. In this way. For the other descendants of the Mu family. That is, of course, very unpleasant. And for Mu Changzuo. Naturally, they hated it so much. They all wanted it. Mu Changzuo can have the same fate as Mu Chaobi. Give them one more chance.
And Mu Changzuo. But he clamped his tail and behaved as a man. In this regard, it can be described as a drop of water. Didn't let those people find the slightest chance.
But this time it happened. It is undoubtedly for those people to find such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Not bad. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a once-in-a-lifetime event. Although it is said that since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. For more than two hundred years. Rebellions continued. But in this Yunnan. But it's rare. The momentum is small. It's basically a matter of their own among the local minorities. The momentum is great. Just relying on him as a general to conquer the south is not fair.
And this time the thing. But it's just right. Quantitatively. It is just within the scope of his Mu Changzuo's jurisdiction. And that's the truth. Mu Changzuo just didn't come forward to ask about this matter.
When the time comes. Others don't say it. The others of the Mu family. I'm definitely going to make a fuss about it behind my back. When the time comes. What means to make. Go and let the people in the DPRK impeach Mu Changzuo without mentioning it. But there will definitely be such a thing. Once that's the case. His Mu Changzuo's troubles can not only be measured by size.
In a word. Things are very troublesome.
And now. Mu Changzuo said. It's also quite normal. Merely. What he said. It's to apologize to Zhang Fan first. This already made Zhang Fan feel very strange. After all, Mu Changzuo is strict. didn't do anything to be sorry for Zhang Fan. Even if it's because of his father-in-law's business. It also seems to be a bit too much.
But. Just when Zhang Fan couldn't figure it out. Mu Changzuo's words came out again. He said he apologized. It's not because of what he did to Zhang Fan before. He apologized because he was going to do something to Zhang Fan.
Speaking of which. Since I can say that. That is, it is explained. At least Mu Changzuo can't do anything excessive. But the way things look now. Let's be honest. A few people present. No one can guarantee it. Mu Changzuo would not have said the kind of words that hid a knife in his smile. Obviously it looks very kind on the face. The tone of speech is also very nice. But wait until you hear what he really said. But it's a completely different look.
Of course. Although this is not very likely. But let's be honest. The people who were there. Plus after the previous scenes. None of them dared to guarantee it. Mu Changzuo really wouldn't say that.
All of a sudden. The atmosphere became tense.
"Grandpa Guo said......" Zhang Fan thought. It's better to ask yourself. Then he opened his mouth and said to Mu Changzuo. "You have to apologize to me first. Listen to the tone of Grandpa Guo. I've figured it out. I just don't know what Grandpa Guo wants to do to me. ”
"I told Master Zhang before." Mu Changzuo explained. "I'm afraid that someone in the DPRK and China will trouble me when the time comes. Maybe for Lord Zhang. I'm such a Qianguo Gong. It's too far away from the capital. Inconsequential. But I can't be indifferent. It's a big deal. I don't want to get in trouble; If it's big. That's how much I love my life.
"Therefore. For so. I can only do one thing to be sorry for adults. That's just this thing. It's not to force Master Zhang to do anything. Instead, I have to ask Mr. Zhang to help me do something. ”
"Oh." Zhang Fan heard Mu Changzuo say this. I'm also a little curious. Hurriedly asked. "Grandpa Guo must not say that. If there is something going on with Grandpa Guo. But it doesn't hurt to say that. But anything I can do. Naturally, there is nothing to say. Where do I need Grandpa Guo to apologize to me? ”
"Alas. Master Zhang said. I'm a little worried. Mu Changzuo waved and said. Said. "No matter what. Please also ask Mr. Zhang to speak after listening to my words.
"This time around. Naturally, I want to make a compromise to the court. Explain what is going on. It's just that I've said it before. If only I had done it alone. That's simply not going to work. So. I mean. Mr. Zhang also made an excerpt. Let's talk about it. ”
"This country grandfather rest assured. Naturally, I would have done that. Zhang Fan nodded. Said. "Only. I've thought about it before. I'm afraid even if I said so. Those below. may not let go of Grandpa Guo. ”
"Lord Zhang. I'm not done yet. Mu Changzuo was not in a hurry at all. Said. "This excerpt. Mr. Zhang naturally wanted to go up. Merely. This excerpt. Don't go up to the court. The best is. Inside the imperial court. It's better that no one sees it at all.
"This book of excerpts by Lord Zhang. It was directly shown to the Queen Mother. ”
"Oh. Directly to the Queen Mother. Zhang Fan continued to be curious.
"Not bad. Directly to the Queen Mother. Mu Changzuo nodded. Said. "That's it. Those in the court will not know. They won't know. I won't say anything to the Queen Mother in advance. When the time comes. Even if there were a few people jumping up. I'm going to be able to talk here. ”
"It seems. Grandpa Guo on this matter. But it's thoughtful enough. Zhang Fan smiled. Said. "But that's also the thing. It's better to have to be careful. But. I still don't quite understand. It's nothing. Why did Grandpa Guo have to apologize to me? What did Grandpa Guo want me to say to the Queen Mother? ”
