Chapter 104: A meeting gift to the Mu family
Opposite Dianchi Lake, this may be where Zhu Gaoxu's family will live for a long time in the future.
In fact, Zhu Zhanyan doesn't like to live here, firstly, he wants to go to the famous Erhai Lake in Dali in the future, and he has been saying it on the Internet, but he can't see it with his own eyes because of life reasons.
These two times, living here in Dianchi Lake, across the lake from the Qianning Palace, this makes Zhu Zhanyan feel a little uncomfortable.
But there is no way, no matter which feudal king of the nine feudal domains is restricted, as the son of the old man, Zhu Gaoxu's family will have preferential treatment, but it will not be particularly excessive.
After all, the team still has to be led, and the hearts of the people cannot be dispersed.
"It's really rare." Standing on the small balcony on the second floor, Zhu Gaoxu looked at his son with a smile on his face.
"I've never seen you be so patient with outsiders before?"
"Really?" Zhu Zhanyan put down the teacup in his hand and turned to lean against the railing of the balcony.
"Is there one? You must be mistaken, I'm not one of those people. ”
"Besides, although the Mu family is the righteous son of Emperor Taizu Gao, they are also relatives after all."
"It's not a big deal to give a little help to a relative, is it?"
"Is that all?" The smile on Zhu Gaoxu's face did not decrease.
"Or else?" Zhu Zhanyan felt the early summer in Yunnan, squinting his eyes slightly.
"If you want a reason, then I can give you another one, This Yunnan is also the border of our Ming Dynasty, if the border land is lost, let's not talk about how much the Ming Dynasty will be affected, just say that we live in Yunnan now, can we escape?"
"If you want to say that, just do what you say." Zhu Gaoxu smiled, but he didn't force his son anymore.
In fact, he also knows that his son is paving the way for the future, because no matter whether they plan to start a family business in Yunnan in the future, it is always right to give the Mu family a little benefit.
If you want to break into your own family business, it is necessary to give the Mu family a little benefit, after all, in Yunnan, there are not many things that can be hidden from the Mu family.
Even if they don't want to move anymore and want to be an idle prince in peace, then giving the Mu family a little benefit can make them maybe hide a little when they report to the old man.
Whether it is Zhu Gaoxu or Zhu Zhanyu, they are not arrogant to the point that the old man will not stare at them after becoming a vassal.
Even, it cannot be ruled out that the old man still does not let them go.
Think about it, throughout the ages, how many princes can be like Zhu Gaochu who are played by the old man? While fighting the battlefield, he was used by the old man to balance the civil officials.
Think about it again, how many people have dared to be as unscrupulous as Zhu Zhanyan throughout the ages? Foreign enemies were killed, corrupt officials were killed, profiteers were also killed, and the Beijing Temple was also built.
If nothing else, let's just say that after the Warring States period, the Han people basically did not build a Beijing Temple, Zhu Zhanyan can be regarded as the first person after the Warring States Period.
He is only twelve years old this year, and if he grows longer and participates in a few more battles, then he will really become a veritable white second.
Now there are hundreds of thousands of lives in his name, and the legends of the outside world have been exaggerated to 200,000 or even 300,000.
It's a bit difficult to reach the record of killing 400,000 people in the first battle of the White War, but if you go to the volume, it's not a big problem.
"What do you two say?"
Just when Zhu Gaoxu's father and son were silent at the same time, and the wind was blowing on the balcony, Princess Han's voice came from below.
"Skipping meals?"
"Eh, here we are." Zhu Zhanyan took the lead in putting down the teacup, shook a look at his father, and then went downstairs.
For Zhu Zhanyan, things are not so complicated, even if they are complicated, it will be in the future, and he is not in the mood to think so much now.
When he was in Yingtianfu, he had to be a staff officer for his father, and he had to help his father successfully pass the test given by the old man, and he even had to be caught by the old man.
For more than a year, he either burned his brain in the test that the old man gave his father, or he continued to kill people in the midst of killing.
Now that he has come to Yunnan, the climate is pleasant, and he really wants to have a good rest.
——
Qianning Palace.
Mu Ang sat in the study, he hadn't eaten dinner, and there was a piece of paper in front of him, which was densely filled with words.
"Third Brother ......"
Mu Xin, the eldest member of the Mu family, looked at the third brother in front of him with a frown, and couldn't help but speak.
"Do you think what the prince of Han said ......?"
"Makes sense." Mu Ang sighed and interrupted his brother's words.
"In fact, we should have thought a long time ago that those who have vested interests in the grace of the previous dynasty, that is, those chiefs and people like Chen Jikuo, for the people, our Ming taxes are easier."
"After all, our family has been in Yunnan for so many years, and we have heard of it somewhat."
"I know, but ......" Mu Xin stopped talking, thought about it, and turned around to close the door of the study first.
"After all, our surname is Mu, we didn't make a move last time, even if everyone believed that we thought the court could win and didn't send troops, but now it's ......"
"In the past, for Your Majesty, we didn't send troops because we knew the times as a handsome, but in the future, we ......"
Mu Xin's words were stuck in his throat halfway through.
But what he said was not without reason.
No one's idea is set in stone, the Mu family had 300,000 soldiers and horses but did not send troops at the time of Jingjing, which was a good thing for Zhu Di at that time, after all, if the 300,000 soldiers and horses of the Mu family were also involved, then it was really not certain whether Jingnan could succeed.
But now, Zhu Di is sitting in the position of Emperor Jianwen at the beginning, and the previous achievements of the Mu family are likely to become taboo in the future.
"What do you want?" Mu Ang frowned.
"I know you're worried, but it's too early to worry, right? The Han Wang's family had just come over to take up the domain, and the palace had not even been built, and the imperial court had not sent corresponding officials, such as the people from institutions such as the chief of the palace. ”
"Nothing, what are we worried about? If we want to worry, it is not that we are worried first, but the imperial court, and our worries can only be said to be groundless. ”
Speaking of this, Mu Ang stood up and patted his younger brother on the shoulder.
"Little brother, I know that you are because of your family, but you also know that there are some things that we cannot interfere in, at least we can't guess casually before the order comes down from above."
"Got it, third brother." Mu Xin smiled reluctantly and nodded.
Mu Xin is the eldest son of Mu Wangfu, but he has another identity, that is, the master of Daming.
Mu Xin's wife is the fifth daughter of the current emperor, Princess Changning.
