The news of the defeat and capture of Jiaozhi Chen Jikuo's army soon spread back to Yunnan, and the sky over Yunnan was filled with an atmosphere called excitement.

Chen Jikuo has been in trouble for a long time, and the crackdown on bandits that began in the fourth year of Yongle alone has brought a great burden to Yunnan, and it is also a double burden in terms of population and money and food.

When the Mu family accepted the edict of Emperor Taizu Gao and guarded Yunnan for generations, Emperor Taizu Gao Zhu Yuanzhang gave 300,000 soldiers and horses to Mu Ying, the king of Qianning, as the use of the tunbian.

To the present ten years of Yongle, the Mu family has guarded Yunnan no more, no less, just in the thirtieth year.

In the past 30 years, the original 300,000 soldiers and horses have changed a lot normally, and there have been many casualties and retreats, but what makes the people of Yunnan feel the most is the first two crusades against Chen Jikuo.

The enemy who had caused them great pain was finally gone, and Yunnan's territory had expanded.

"Third brother, how's it going?" Mu Xin pushed open the door of the third brother's study and walked in with some things in his hand.

"It's fine, but it's a bit unexpected." Mu Ang rubbed his eyes.

Since Mu Sheng led his troops to Jiaozhi, he took over the affairs of Yunnan, and everything was fine, after all, the war had not started before, and Mu Ang had to deal with some daily affairs.

But with the arrival of Zhu Zhanyan, he has more and more things to deal with.

"Whoa." Mu Xin poured a cup of tea for his third brother, and then put the things in his hand in front of his third brother.

"I just received news from the second brother that the front line has withdrawn its troops, and the squad is gone."

"What!?" Mu Ang sat up straight suddenly, picked up what his brother had put on the table, and looked at it quickly.

"This ......"

After reading it, Mu Ang looked sluggish.

This...... That's it?

Chen Jikuo, who had plagued their Mu family for several years, made Yunnan have to send troops continuously for several years, and the war that made the people of Yunnan very dissatisfied ended like this?

Mu Ang couldn't believe it.

"The second brother won't talk nonsense, and the escort team will arrive in Kunming soon, so we have to send more people to escort the escort team into Beijing."

Mu Xin's emotion is no less than that of his third brother.

"But, third brother, what do you think of the prince of Han?"

"Opinion?" Hearing this, Mu Ang put down the fold in his hand and leaned back on the back of the chair, the expression on his face was stagnant, and his facial features seemed to be still.

"I don't think much...... But ......"

As if he felt that the words he had thought of were not very appropriate, Mu Ang paused, pondered for a moment and spoke again.

"The honor and favor of the Han family is unprecedented, even in the Hongwu Dynasty."

"It can be seen that His Majesty really likes the King of Han and the prince of Han, but he ......can't help it."

Speaking of this, Mu Ang's emotions that he had been immersed in suddenly woke up, and after taking a deep breath, he changed the topic.

"Anyway, in the future, this Yunnan will be the king of Han, we are just auxiliary, and you haven't read the edict brought back by the prince......

"In the future, what should be done should be done, what should not be done should not be done, what could not be done before is still not done, what can be done before ......"

"Let's show it to King Han before we do it......"

After speaking, Mu Ang nodded at the secret fold brought by his younger brother: "Second brother, it seems that this is the same idea." ”

"As for the princess...... Think for yourself. ”

"Got it." Mu Xin bowed his head slightly.

All his questions were actually for his third brother's last words.

Now that the situation in Yunnan has changed, this is nothing for the Mu family, because no matter how much the Mu family is still a minister, just obey orders.

The most difficult thing to do is him Mu Xin.

His wife is Princess Changning, the fifth daughter of His Majesty today, although it is only a relationship between the Zhu family and the Mu family, and has never played the role of a nail, but as a colt, he still has to consider these.

After all, the king's heart is unpredictable, and no one knows the true thoughts of the person above.

"That's right......" Mu Ang seemed to suddenly remember something, took out something from the side, and handed it to his younger brother.

That's an edict.

"This, I just sent it down from Jingzhong today, you take it, and prepare it well."

"What is this?" Mu Xin took the edict and asked very casually.

It's just that before he could wait for his third brother's answer, he himself froze first.

"This ...... What is it......" Mu Xin looked at his third brother blankly.

"No matter what it is, it has nothing to do with you and me, just do it." Mu Ang took a deep breath and knocked on the table.

"No matter what Your Majesty thinks, our speculation is speculation, and following orders is what we should do most."

"Got it......"

——

Han Wangfu.

Zhu Zhanyan fell asleep as soon as he went home, pressure is something that can really crush people, don't look at him so calm when he was on the front line, but he is also under a lot of pressure.

Sleep is not the best way to relieve and release stress, but it is the best for him.

Because, there are some methods that he can't try yet.

After sleeping in the dark for two whole days, Zhu Zhanyan completely recovered, and then before he could do anything else, he was dragged by his mother to the newly built small Buddha hall next to his home, and began to chant and worship the Buddha and knock on the wooden fish.

According to his mother's words, he was not a real executioner, but not this time.

I don't know how many people died in the fire, so I don't know how many people died, so I had to recite the scriptures well to reduce his sins.

Zhu Zhanyan didn't care about this, because although he was not an atheist, he never believed that God would come to the world.

Yao Guangxiao is right, if there is really a Buddha in this heaven overlooking the world, where can there be so many injustices in this world?

However, after all, this is his mother's love, and he did not refuse.

Anyway, there is no entertainment in this era, that is, listening to a book and watching a play or something, for him who has lived in an era of entertainment to death, these are pediatrics, and there is no meaning.

"Daddy ......" was pulled by his mother to Zhu Zhanyan, who had finished reciting the scriptures and worshipping the Buddha, and found his father with a sleepy face.

"What are you doing next to you, Ding Ling keeps ringing all day long, and I can't sleep well."

"A new home." Zhu Gaoxu put aside the secret fold in his hand and looked at his son with a smile.

"What's the matter, you haven't slept enough for two days? Do you want Daddy to find you something else to help you sleep? ”

"What's that?" Zhu Zhanyan just wanted to ask about his new home, but he was attracted by the second half of his father's sentence.

"Do you still have what it takes?"

"What do you mean I have this ability, let's not say I don't have it, even if I do, then I will definitely not use it for you." Zhu Gaoxu smiled and scolded and threw something in front of Zhu Zhanyan.

"Edict? When did it come? Zhu Zhanyan looked strange.

"Hiss......"

opened it and took a look, Zhu Zhanyan's eyes almost popped out.

"What the hell!?" Zhu Zhanyan threw the edict directly as if he had received some hot potato.

"You don't want it?" Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but laugh and picked up the edict that his son threw out.

"I think you liked this, huh? Where was that last time? Oh yes! Zhenjiang Mansion, right? After going to Yangzhou, when you plan to return to Beijing. ”

"I remember that at that time, you also dragged other people's three concubines to serve you, and they were also from North Korea."

"No......" Zhu Zhanyan couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, he never knew that his father would also tease people.

"What...... Didn't I tell you everything? That's just a rumor, I was tired when I was in Yangzhou, and I asked someone to massage me, why did it taste bad in your mouth? ”

"Also, what do you mean it's all North Korean? I don't have that fetish! It was a pure accident! ”

"You don't know what I'm going to Beijing for this time! This time it can be said that all countries are coming to the DPRK, plus the matter of the grassland, how can North Korea not pay tribute? ”

"I'm just a piggybacker, grandpa is just giving our cousin a canonization and giving us some benefits!"

That's right, just like Zhu Zhanji said, the old man still canonized Zhu Zhanji as the emperor's grandson as in history.

It's just that there are some discrepancies with history, because history was canonized in the ninth year of Yongle, that is, last year, and now it has been ten years of Yongle.

For the canonization, Zhu Zhanyan was not surprised.

The old man has given too many benefits to King Han, and he can still hold it down in the past, but now it is really not good.

The content of the edict that Zhu Zhanyan brought back when he returned to Yunnan was too big and too heavy, even if the ministers knew that the old man's mind would not be changed casually, it was impossible to sit idly by.

Zhu Zhanyan's performance and the degree of attention paid by the old man have far exceeded the bottom line that Wenchen can bear, they must fight, otherwise they will be pressed on the head by the generals, not to mention, the status of the prince's line will also be threatened.

At the same time, after the Han dynasty obtained the right to govern Yunnan, the old man must also suppress it, otherwise the court will be in chaos.

The canonization of Zhu Zhanji as the crown prince stabilized the position of Zhu Gaochi, the crown prince, from the side, so that Wenchen could be a little satisfied, and then calm down the turmoil.

After all, what the ministers sometimes think is very simple: as long as the status of the crown prince and the crown prince is stable, the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty will be determined.

As long as this situation is stabilized, all problems will no longer be a problem, and it will not be too late to turn around and clean up the Han King when the crown prince ascends the throne and succeeds to the throne.

Therefore, Zhu Zhanyan was not surprised or surprised that his cousin was canonized as the emperor's grandson, and he had no dissatisfaction.

Because he knew very well that if this imperial grandson was not canonized, he would not get such a great benefit when he entered Beijing.

This is already the old man's bias towards the Han King.

As for the benefits...... Three tribute maidens from the Korean clan? Zhu Zhan is not rare.

The true nature of a man, he is a normal man, but he values his future more.

Twelve years old, still imaginary, at this time to start messing around, then he is afraid that he will not live to be thirty years old.

Even if it is not from the perspective of health preservation, the human body is mature...... Ah no, it can't be said to be mature, it should be said that the limit that can bear that thing is sixteen years old.

"I know that too." Looking at his fried son, Zhu Gaoxu laughed loudly.

He rarely saw his son have this kind of reaction, and the last time he saw it was in Yingtianfu, and it was also for the three prefect concubines in Zhenjiang Mansion.

"But ah, this edict has arrived, and people are on the way, I calculated, there should be another month to arrive, in the end, it was rewarded by your grandfather, can you still refuse?"

"Besides, the three Korean tribute girls that your grandfather rewarded you this time are still okay."

"Needless to say, the appearance is needless to say, the appearance of being able to be sent to Yingtian as a tribute girl will definitely not be bad, and the family background is also prominent, one surname Cui, one surname Quan, and one surname Li."

"Does this have anything to do with being born with a hair?" Zhu Zhanyan glanced at his father angrily.

"Are we talking about the same thing? Am I talking about the appearance and origin of these tribute girls? ”

Zhu Zhanyan really didn't know what to say.

Indeed, the two surnames Cui and Quan are the prominent families of North Korea, and they are probably equivalent to the family in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the well-known five surnames and seven wangs.

As for the surname Lee, it is even more remarkable, it is the royal family of North Korea.

But what the hell is that a fart!?

Even if it is the royal family of North Korea, when it comes to Daming, it is a concubine, and there are several Korean women in the old man's harem, but they are basically placed there to look good, and it is a relationship between Daming and North Korea.

In Zhu Zhan's opinion, the old man's hand is purely disgusting.

Although these three women are from North Korea, if the old man decides to reward him, it will give the military general a wrong signal that these three women are the nails of the old man.

"Forget it, I'd better get the cochin side quickly." Zhu Zhanyan lay on the table in frustration.

"When the time comes, we'll move over, and we won't be angry here."

"Alright, be content." Zhu Gaoxu smiled and patted his son's shoulder.

"If others can't see it, you can't see it? The old man seems to be doing this for others to see, but in fact this is already compromising with you. ”

"His old man is a grandfather in the end, this is to care about you, if it is really for checks and balances, then it will not be the three Korean tribute girls who will be sent, but the princess of the Han Dynasty appointed by the emperor!"

"I know." Zhu Zhanyan can see it clearly, but seeing clearly and feeling that it are two different things.

"I don't like that, though."

"And what do you like?" Zhu Gaoxu laughed again, this time his smile was full of chatter between father and son...... Well, the kind of expression of a private matter.

"I remember that when you were in Zhenjiang Mansion before, you also said that the Western Regions Dancing Girl is better than the Korean Tribute Girl, so you like the Western Regions Dancing Girl?"

"It just so happens that things are going very well in the tea and horse market, in addition to the Usi Zangdu Division, we also have a little bit of a tea and horse market transaction with the Kansai Qiwei, do you want to tell them in advance?"

"I think as long as I give an order, there will be a lot of Western Regions dancing girls for you to choose from in the next tea and horse market."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhu Zhanyan rolled his eyes angrily.

"You're right! I'm a pervert! Okay, right? ”
