Chapter 1221: People don't know it
Speaking of which. This man is simply looking for trouble. And Zhang Fan. Naturally, there is a way to deal with him. There is no need to say anything to him. Suffice it to talk about his dependence. The matter about the current Qianguo Gong Mu Changzuo is enough.
The reason why Mu Chaobi, the Duke of Qianguo in the previous generation, was escorted to Beijing. And he was sentenced to death. I almost lost my head. And after that. Thanks to Zhang Juzheng's advice. This was the one that saved his life. Distribution should be distributed to the people in heaven. None of these Zhang Fan were wrong. Even at the beginning. It was indeed he who asked Zhang Juzheng to do this. At that time, Zhang Juzheng was a little hesitant about this matter. And Zhang Fan at that time was completely indifferent to this kind of life and death. Still can't do it. So I told Zhang Juzheng about it.
Merely. is also as Zhang Fan said. This Mu Chaobi seems to have reached the time limit. Lives are short-lived. Distributed to the people in the sky. But it didn't take long for him to die.
Of course. Zhang Fan didn't mean to say anything about Mu Chaobi. That's why he's like that. Speaking of which, he and Zhu Xuanqi's experience is somewhat similar. If it weren't for the fact that his two older brothers had died one after another. It is not his turn to do the position of the Duke of Qianguo. And after becoming the grandfather of the country. This Mu Chaobi began to be arrogant. A lot of things. It's a little too much.
Afterwards. Zou Yinglong was the governor of the victims. After coming to Yunnan. I heard about Mu Chaobi. Open investigation and covert visits. Find out what he's guilty about. That's what captured him.
But. Now Mu Chaobi is no more. And now. This Mu Changzuo and Mu Chaobi are also Mu Ying's descendants. It doesn't have much to do with it.
Can Zhang Fan. I didn't mean to say this to Ding Youyang. What Zhang Fan really means. Mu Changzuo didn't pay attention to it. And. He still has a way. Let Mu Changzuo follow in Mu Chaobi's footsteps.
Why. It's very simple. Mu Chaobi spoke. Originally, he couldn't get the position of the grandfather of this country. So. Originally, Mu Changzuo had no ambitions. And now. Because of Mu Chaobi's accident. He became the Duke of Qianguo. Not only did I not feel anything happy. But I'm still scared to death. He was afraid that he would be like Mu Chaobi. In the end, he died like this.
So. Mu Changzuo has the mentality of doing nothing. He doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble. But he didn't take the initiative to take care of things. I want to do it. Skimming both sides. A state of not caring about anything. Of course. Mu Changzuo is not a man with his tail between his legs. He said it anyway. It is also a national prince. It's like his father-in-law has some land. Stockpile up some grain. This kind of thing naturally feels indifferent to him. Merely. I'm afraid he couldn't have imagined anything. One day this kind of thing seemed to him. It was supposed to be an inconsequential thing. But it can also become his biggest crisis.
But even so. Zhang Fan still has a way to let him also embark on that road of no return. Since he Mu Changzuo is the Duke of Qianguo. Guarding Yunnan. That also has the responsibility of defending Yunnan. But this time it happened. He Mu Changzuo did nothing. I haven't even heard the slightest bit of news.
Of course. Because of Mu Chaobi's matter. The court didn't just punish that person. Even the entire Mu Wangfu was unlucky. It's not just a lot of money fines. Even the number of troops under his rule has decreased a lot. And partially. Mu Wangfu is responsible for guarding Yunnan. But it's not less at all.
Sounds good. It seems unreasonable for the imperial court to do this. It's because of a Mu Chaobi. and weakened the strength of Mu Wangfu. And it endangers the safety of the whole of Yunnan. But actually. Zhang Fan understood. Longqing made this decision at the beginning. There's nothing wrong with that. Under the entire Mu Palace. There were 60,000 defenders. Even for Yunnan, which has many ethnic groups. So many armies. It's more than enough. And occupy so many people. He also asked the imperial court for money every year. 20,000 people were laid off. It's also completely sufficient.
Although said. At the beginning of last year. Liu Xian used a total of 120,000 troops to conquer the servants. Although said. Even this time it was a temporary response to the rebellion of 20,000 people. It also used an army of 50,000. But anyway. Leave 40,000 people for the Mu family. It's enough for them to guard the whole of Yunnan.
But. Now is not the time to say that. And Zhang Fan said to Ding Youyang just now. It's best not to let him find Mu Changzuo's handle. Although Zhang Fan's words were not all. But in fact, it was already told to him. And. Ding Youyang doesn't look like a fool. If only he could think clearly. It's for the best.
As a matter of fact. It's very simple. Since you Mu Changzuo is the Duke of Qianguo. Then there is the duty of guarding Yunnan. Once something happened in Yunnan, there was a major military disaster. and all that is found on you. And now. Isn't there such a thing in front of you?
True. Now this problem has been solved. But. It wasn't solved by your Mu Changzuo's hands. It was Liu Xian who solved it. Even. Liu Xian was not stationed in Yunnan at all. It's in Sichuan. It is clear that you are here as the Duke of Qianguo. But you just want the garrison of other provinces to solve the problem that should be solved by you.
Although nowadays. The imperial court has already issued a holy decree. Zhang Fan and Liu Xian are asked to take charge of this matter. But actually. If you want to find him Mu Changzuo's trouble. It's also incredibly simple. Zhang Fan only needs to return to Beijing. No. You don't have to wait until you get back to the capital. Zhang Fan can now refer to his Mu Changzuo. He did nothing when the war broke out.
When the time comes. Even if the imperial court is not in a hurry to change another Duke of Qianguo and let him go. But he, Mu Changzuo, will definitely not feel good. Ultimately. This is also Mu Changzuo's own doing. Not bad. There is no great fault in inaction. But inaction is not a mistake that will not be made. Sometimes. Inaction. In itself, it is a mistake. Since you are willing to do this shrunken turtle. Don't ask anything. Then you have to be prepared to be criticized. There's no one to blame for that.
But that's it. There is nothing for this Ding Youyang in front of him. What Zhang Fan really wanted to tell him was. He didn't have to do anything to him Ding Youyang personally. can make him ruined. It's a much simpler truth. If the imperial court really attacked Zhang Fan because of his impeachment of Mu Changzuo. Obviously, he is Mu Changzuo's father-in-law. Bad luck will follow. And even if the imperial court doesn't do anything big for Mu Changzuo. It's just a severe punishment for him. But if he knew. The reason for all this is because of a sentence from his father-in-law. It can well be imagined. What will happen to his Ding family?
Merely. Ding Guangyou is not too smart a person. He thought of the front though. But he didn't consider what kind of impact this matter would have on his Ding family.
Even. Even if Zhang Fan said so. And he was a little scared too. But. He still doesn't believe that Zhang Fan has the right to do this.
"Hmph......" Although it was still a cold snort. But it's obvious. Ding Youyang no longer has the same momentum as before. "Don't say these things to scare me. That's Grandpa Guo. What is your identity. If you say impeachment, you will be impeached? ”
As soon as Ding Youyang's words came out. Zhang Fan didn't react yet. But Feng Bao on the side. But he couldn't help but laugh out loud. Even. Even Liu Xian. He didn't laugh out loud, though. But a smile on the face. Exposed.
This surprised Ding Guangyou. Just when he wanted to ask. Mao Zhengqing arrived.
"Lord Mao. How's it going. Zhang Fan asked. Have you brought all the food? ”
"Your Excellency." Mao Zhengqing hurriedly said. "50,000 stone is not a small amount. In addition, there are really no manpower nowadays. So be slow. Xiaguan was in a hurry to come back first. ”
"That's easy to do." Liu Xian said. "I'll let a hundred people help carry the food."
"That's right. Thank you, General Liu. Mao Zhengqing said.
It was at this time. Ding Youyang pulled Mao Zhengqing aside. And for this action of his. Zhang Fan: They didn't say anything.
But Mao Zhengqing's heart is different. The reason why he hurried back first. In fact, it is precisely because of this Ding Youyang.
When I went to the grain depot before. Mao Zhengqing met Ding Youyang's family and asked him for food. But because of Zhang Fan. This time, even in the face of the Ding family. Mao Zhengqing didn't dare to give them without permission. And that housekeeper. It seems to be because of the fox and the tiger on weekdays. didn't wait for Mao Zhengqing to explain to him clearly, and hurried back. This is the reason why Ding Youyang is noisy here now.
"Who the hell is he?" Ding Youyang asked Mao Zhengqing in a low voice.
"Outside of Ding. You're in trouble this time. Mao Zhengqing looked at him reproachfully. Said. "This is a minister from the capital. In charge of this counterinsurgency. He is Zhang Fan, the prince of the dynasty. Or the commander of the Jinyi Guard. ”
"What." Heard Mao Zhengqing reveal Zhang Fan's identity. Ding Youyang's face changed instantly. Originally, it was still a sallow yellow. But now it's pale. There was not the slightest trace of blood. It's not surprising to think about it. From his previous words and deeds. plus Zhang Fan's identity. and what Zhang Fan said. It's strange that he's not scared.
"I know that too." Mao Zhengqing didn't care about him. Go on. "I know that Ling's son-in-law is the grandfather of the country. But this is a brocade guard. Don't talk about Grandpa Guo. Even if it's a prince's business. He can handle it, too. I think. It's better to endure it outside the staff. "Actually. Mao Zhengqing also hates this Ding Youyang very much. On weekdays, he is unceremonious. Ordered him to do that. There is no benefit at all. If it weren't for Mu Changzuo's face. Mao Zhengqing didn't bother to pay attention to him. Now there's something like this that can make him deflated. Mao Zhengqing was naturally happy.
Now. There is no need for Mao Zhengqing to say anything. Ding Youyang had a pale face. explained a few words to the family behind him. He left in disgrace. Seemingly. This hunger is terrible. Even at this time. He didn't forget to get the food back.
saw Ding Youyang leave. Zhang Fan didn't feel anything. It was just a little bit of an episode for him to beat the boredom.
Merely. Zhang Fan didn't expect it. Such a small episode. But it also caused him a lot of trouble.
