If you really want to talk about it, Zhu Zhanyan is really not bragging.

At the beginning, the king of Han was that everyone except the old man had to give three points of thin noodles, and later changed his title to King Wu, and Zhu Zhanyan had such great military achievements.

Not to mention ordinary people, even an old man has to give him three points of thin noodles.

Didn't you see that the old man repeatedly made concessions in Yunnan affairs? Didn't you see that from Annam to Siam to the Sultan of Delhi, the imperial court never intervened?

In addition, plus Zhu Zhanqi is just a second son, and he is only a concubine, basically as long as he doesn't look for those lowly maids, Qinglou women and the like, and doesn't embarrass the Zhu royal family, then there is no problem.

Of course, some people don't count, after all, close relatives are morally impermissible.

However, what Zhu Zhanyan said was that there was nothing wrong, but when it was actually implemented, there were actually some differences.

For example, the Mu family.

If you want to ask, why can't you marry the Mu family? That's two parts.

First, practical significance.

From a practical point of view, there is not much difference between marriage and non-marriage.

Yunnan has long been under the control of the Mu family, although there may be some changes now because Zhu Zhan Yan is not in Yunnan, but as long as Zhu Zhan Yan is still there, there will be no changes.

The current Ming Dynasty generally thinks that the Mu family, at least the Mu family of this generation, is stained with Zhu Zhan's light.

If it weren't for Zhu Zhanyan, they wouldn't be as stable as they are now, and they wouldn't be as valued as they are now.

In the early days, when Zhu Zhanyan implemented the new policy and the new tax system in Yunnan, the Mu family had little influence.

And if you want to talk about the Mu family's attitude towards Zhu Zhanyan, it can only be said that Zhu Zhanyan took the Indochina Peninsula...... No, it should be said that when Annan and Siam were taken one after another, the Mu family was already convinced.

Therefore, in a practical sense, the difference between this marriage and not marriage is not very big, the Ming Dynasty started from Yunnan, first to the west and then to the south, there is not an inch of land that the imperial court can manage, all under the jurisdiction of King Wu.

However, for a person of Zhu Zhan's height, he must not only consider the practical significance, but also the superficial influence.

This brings us to the second point.

In fact, if it really comes to the day when the emergency is coming, the Mu family dares to make a move with Zhu Zhanyan, and Zhu Zhanyan, the master of Jingguan design, brought out the soldiers, plus white phosphorous eggs.

Not to mention that there is no slag left for the Mu family, but at least there is no living mouth left.

On the surface, once this family affair is completed, it is equivalent to telling everyone that from now on, from Yunnan to Siam, to the Delhi Sultan, and even to the Timurid Empire in the future, everything is monolithic!

Let's not talk about what Zhu Zhanyan's attitude is, let's talk about the Mu family.

If the Mu family agrees to this family business, it is equivalent to telling everyone that in the future, my Mu family will be the gatekeeper of King Wu's line, and no one will ever think about this line in Yunnan!

From this, you can see how serious this matter is.

But! And that's not even the worst of it!

The most serious thing involves another matter, that is, the current capital of the Ming Dynasty.

From the beginning of King Wu's line in Yunnan, to Zhu Zhan's conquest and rapid rise, the imperial court's control over the south became weaker and weaker.

Under such circumstances, in order to overthrow Cheng Zhu Lixue and establish Ram Studies as a national study, Daming chose to move the capital to Shuntian, and made Ram Studies fade out of people's field of vision by detonating the contradictions between the northern and southern scholars, and then slowly accepted.

After the relocation of the capital, the original capital of Yingtianfu became a companion capital, although the six ministries and other institutions were all retained, but after all, the companion capital is a companion capital, and the influence is still smaller.

In addition, there is a good saying: there are policies at the top, and countermeasures at the bottom.

Not to mention how much power Ying Tianfu, who has become the accompanying capital, can still have, no one can say for sure whether those officials will deceive and conceal it in order to cater to Zhu Zhanyan.

As a result, the imperial court's control over the south weakened again.

At this juncture, if King Wu and the Mu family marry, it will not only be Yunnan, but even the sky in the Liangguang area and Bashu, Sichuan and Chongqing will have to change!

When the time comes, let alone his already irritable cousin, Zhu Zhanyan estimates that his uncle, who is famous for his benevolence, will have to be fried.

……

Regarding his younger brother's words, Zhu Zhanyan failed to give an answer at the first time.

After dinner, Zhu Zhanyan moved a small stool and sat in front of his hall.

"Still having a headache?"

Zhu Gaoxu carried the wine jug, came in through the side door, and walked in front of his son.

Neither Zhu Zhanqi nor Zhu Zhanqi told him about today's incident, but he still heard it, and he happened to know it.

"A little." Zhu Zhanyan nodded and took the wine from his father's hand.

"This Zhanqi, just give me problems, and they are all problems, don't look for me if it's not difficult!"

"Actually, you don't need to worry." Zhu Gaoxu smiled and took a sip of wine.

"A woman, a family affair, nowadays, there are people who want to have a relationship with our family, not worse than these two people."

"Although it is Zhan Qi who is not you, the burden you have given Zhan Qi in the past two years is not light, which everyone can see."

"When the time comes, I'll let someone spread the news and pick it for Zhan Qi, or let him pick it himself."

"Don't." Zhu Zhanyan waved his hand and sighed heavily.

"Zhan Qi, life is not very good."

"That happened when he was a child, but it was no one else who did it, it was your own hand, which made him hate you for almost ten years."

"In his childhood, although he only lost his mother, for him at that time, he was really no different from an orphan, and even more uncomfortable than an orphan."

"Now that he has finally grown up, I think it is to add some burden to him, and also save some family funds for him, so that he can have a better life in the future, at least let some people not beat his idea."

"He's good, he doesn't like anyone, but he falls in love with Second Uncle Mu's daughter."

"You say, if he falls in love with Uncle Mu's daughter, it's okay to say, after all, although Uncle Mu is also a member of the Mu family, he is a companion."

"If it's Uncle Mu's daughter, it's easy to say, Fourth Uncle Mu is a concubine, and we have to call him Uncle Mu when it comes to kinship, this is with blood relatives, even if Zhan Qi is unwilling to give up, he has to give up."

"But it's good for him, but he fell in love with the daughter of Second Uncle Mu, who is now the head of the Mu family."

"Alas......"

Speaking of this, Zhu Zhanyan couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

But beside him, Zhu Gaoxu smiled slightly.

Zhu Zhanqi said so much, but in fact, he was still defending Zhu Zhanqi, and he didn't want to give up like that.

On the surface, it seems that he is blaming Zhu Zhanqi for being ignorant, but it is precisely because he wants to implement the matter that he will say so, if he doesn't want to implement the matter, then just refuse.

Brothers, friends, brothers, brothers, brothers

"And what do you do?" Zhu Gaoxu smiled and touched his son, raised his head and took a big sip of wine.

"Marrying the Mu family, it's not something you can do if you want to, you know the stakes better than me."

"Yes, I know ......" Zhu Zhanyan sighed lightly and poured himself a large sip of wine.

"It's because it's clear that we have to be more cautious."

"Alright!"

Zhu Zhanyan suddenly raised his voice and beckoned to the right.

"Don't be a cat, come here."

Zhu Gaoxu turned his head to look, only to see that in the shadow of the candle flame, his second son slowly stood up, lowered his head, and walked over very crampedly.

"Sit." Zhu Zhanyan got up and pressed his younger brother to his seat.

"Let me ask you, do you really fall in love with that sister of Second Uncle Mu's family?"

That's right, it's my sister, Mu Sheng's second daughter is three years older than Zhu Zhanqi and two years older than Zhu Zhanqi.

As for why you haven't started a family at this age, you still have to rely on it...... Well, it can't be said to be Lai, it should be said that it is thanks to Zhu Zhanyan.

Because Mu Sheng's second daughter was originally going to marry Guo Xuan, the grandson of Guo Ying, the prince of Yingguo, but because Zhu Zhan used very few generals when he conquered the grassland in the north, Jiaozhi in the south, and the Japanese in the east, many generals began to be ignored.

In addition, Guo Ying, the person in charge of the house, died in the first year of Yongle, and the Guo family had no pillar, so this matter was delayed again and again, and it was dragged to the vassal of King Wu.

When the Mu family and King Wu are involved, this family affair is equivalent to Huang, because a family of generals without a pillar does not have the courage to openly marry the Mu family, which is basically equivalent to taking refuge in the line of King Wu.

A family of military generals whose pillars and pillars are gone, where does he dare to deviate from the prince's will and take refuge in the line of King Wu?

At that time, Zhu Zhanyan was only ten years old, and Mu Sheng's second daughter was only twelve years old.

"If you can ......," Zhu Zhanqi said with some hesitation.

He had heard the conversation between his father and his brother, and he had grown a lot in the past two years, so he knew how difficult it was.

Therefore, he himself is very hesitant, as for today's daytime, it may be a momentary impulse.

"Alright, that's enough!" Zhu Zhanyan patted his younger brother on the shoulder.

When these four words could be spit out of his brother's mouth, Zhu Zhanyan knew that his younger brother was afraid that he would really be trapped by others.

Having said that, the people of this special Zhu family are really lovers, Emperor Taizu Gao, Ming Taizong (Chengzu), Ming Renzong, Ming Xuanzong......

Alas......

"What are you going to do?" Zhu Gaoxu suddenly came to his senses.

"Mountain people have their own tricks." Zhu Zhanyan took a deep breath and looked at his younger brother.

"But Zhan Qi, I have to say the ugly things in front of me."

"Brother, you say." Zhu Zhanqi was pressed on the stool and couldn't get up, but he still had enough energy and looked at his brother very seriously.

"I said I have a way, it's true, I'm not fooling you, I really have a way, but it's all premised."

Zhu Zhanyan looked at his younger brother very seriously, wanting to give him a vaccination in advance.

"First of all, you don't know how difficult it is for our family to marry the Mu family, so this matter is not something we can just say, it depends on whether the Mu family is willing to be tied to us."

"My method is not perfect, this requires the cooperation of the Mu family, which means that if the Mu family is unwilling, then you have to deal with your own emotions."

"Secondly, if you want to achieve your wishes, you have to give, and then you will not be as idle as you are now, and you will have a lot of things to deal with."

"In the end, you have to be mentally prepared, because if this family affair is finally completed, the sister of the Mu family may not be able to understand you."

Listening to Zhu Zhanqi's words, not only Zhu Zhanqi, but even Zhu Gaoxu's expression became serious.

……

The next day, early in the morning, a letter left Xiangzhou Mansion as fast as possible and headed for Yunnan.
