Yunnan, Qianning Palace.

Mu Sheng, Mu Ang and Mu Xin sat in a circle, and the three of them were surprisingly consistent in their eyes, expressions and movements.

They all stared at the letter on the table.

This is the twist that Zhu Zhanyan wants to present to Shuntian Mansion, and the reason why it appears here is because this matter needs the nod of the Mu family.

After all, marriage is not a shaved head, and it is not okay to be hot.

"What do you two think?" Mu Sheng took a deep breath and looked at his two younger brothers.

However, there was silence in his answer.

Whether it is Mu Sheng, who is now the head of the Qianning Palace, or Mu Ang, who has temporarily handled the affairs of Yunnan on behalf of his second brother countless times, or Mu Xin, the concubine of the Ming Emperor, they all know what this letter means.

Once they agreed, the letter would be sent to the Shuntian Mansion, and their Mu family would be completely tied to King Wu.

Since then, Wu Wangxing has made them stronger, and Wu Wangxing has weakened them.

"Don't have any ideas?" Mu Sheng sighed deeply.

If it is usual, whether it is Yunnan or Qianning Palace, the big and small matters are basically decided by himself, basically as long as it does not involve his fourth brother Mu Xin's family, other things are like this.

As for Mu Xin's family, after all, there is a princess here, and she is also the daughter of the current emperor, so she always has to think about it.

But this time, Mu Sheng really didn't dare to make a decision.

Tuk-tuk.

Mu Sheng knocked lightly on the table, attracting the attention of his two younger brothers.

"It's not the same thing to drag, this matter is related to the future of our family, I don't want to make my own decisions, you also have the right to speak."

"Dragging, it's definitely not going to work, for the prince of Wu Wang, if we drag, then he will acquiesce to our refusal."

"So, agree or refuse, each of you says what you think."

"Don't be burdened, after all, this is a matter related to our entire Mu family, as for the final decision......

"It's best if you're on the same page, but if there's a difference, then ...... Let the minority obey the majority. ”

……

Mu Ang and Mu Xin glanced at each other, and they both saw a solemn look in each other's eyes.

As their second brother said, this is indeed a major event related to the entire Mu family.

If you agree, it will be equivalent to directly drawing a line with the imperial court, and you will be completely tied to the line of King Wu.

If you refuse, it will be tantamount to drawing a clear line with Zhu Zhanyan, and they don't have to think about the good things on Zhu Zhan's side in the future, it would be good not to be targeted by Zhu Zhanyan.

"Let me tell you what I think." Mu Sheng looked at his two younger brothers, and his tone was much more relaxed.

"Personally, I'm more inclined to agree, as for the reason...... The imperial court moved the capital, after all, the emperor was far away, and even if his hand was long, it was not easy to reach out to Yunnan. ”

"No matter what, Yunnan is also the fief of His Royal Highness King Wu, nominally we are in someone's fiefdom, and we are at most an errand boy."

"If you refuse, you also know the temperament of His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm afraid there won't be any good days in the future."

"That ......" After listening to the second brother's words, Mu Xin opened his mouth.

"What if we make this matter clear to the imperial court, and ask the imperial court to change places for our Mu family?"

As soon as Mu Xin's words came out, Mu Sheng and Mu Ang glanced at each other.

After all, Mu Xin's wife is a princess of the dynasty, and she tends to do things in the court...... It's not surprising.

"Fourth, I know that you are thinking about Princess Changning, but you also have to know that this is our Mu family's matter."

Although it is said that the minority obeys the majority, it is necessary to expound their respective views.

"How many years has our Mu family been in Yunnan? It has been more than 40 years since my father was ordered by Emperor Taizu Gao to guard Yunnan. ”

"After more than 40 years in Yunnan, it can be said that everything in our family is in Yunnan, and it is not easy to move away......

"But ......" Mu Xin didn't want to give up his thoughts.

"According to His Royal Highness, if we agree, we can't continue to stay in Yunnan."

"It's different." Mu Sheng shook his head.

"The situation in the imperial court has been settled, and the feudal king's division has been fixed, as for the surroundings of Yingtianfu and Shuntianfu, don't think about it, it's impossible."

"If we move to another place, we should be controlled by the imperial court, but we also have to accept the control of other vassal kings."

Mu Xin was silent when he heard this.

As the saying goes: it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

The sweetness that can be tasted by following Zhu Zhanyan behind him is something that cannot be tasted behind other vassal kings.

Nowadays, among the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, how many people can have such a high degree of freedom as King Wu's lineage, not to mention, and such a large territory?

You can say that those territories were all fought down by Zhu Zhanyan himself, not canonized by the imperial court, but isn't that more telling the problem?

Which of those vassal kings of the same generation as the current emperor Zhu Di has such a right? Today's vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty are estimated to be the least powerful in all dynasties.

The third son of the current emperor, Zhu Gaosui, is not much better, and you still expect the emperor to trust his brothers and nephews?

Don't be funny, don't you know how Emperor Yongle sat on the throne?

"Personally, I think we should still follow the orders of the imperial court." Knowing that he couldn't argue, Mu Xin sighed lightly, summed up his thoughts, and then stopped talking.

Mu Sheng didn't say it anymore, after all, they were all his own brothers, so there was no need to be aggressive.

Besides, Mu Xin is different from them, they have been trained as military generals since they were children, and all historical books and scriptures are electives, but Mu Xin is the opposite of them.

Mu Xin has been cultivated as a literati since he was a child, historical books and classics are compulsory courses, and art of war strategy is an elective course.

"Third, what about you?" Now one to one, Mu Sheng and Mu Xin set their eyes on Mu Ang at the same time.

"I personally think ......" Mu Ang looked at his brother, then at his brother, and slowly spat out two words.

"Agreed."

Mu Xin sighed lightly, and then asked with a little entanglement: "What about Princess Changning?" I've got to have an explanation, right? ”

In the end, the Mu family and his own brothers are in the same camp, Mu Xin still chose to get closer to his brothers.

"Second brother, little brother, I think you are thinking about things complicated." Mu Ang looked at his brother, and then took the letter over to him.

"In fact, His Royal Highness the Prince has written very clearly on this, and he has explained the story of this matter clearly, as long as this letter is submitted, the court will know what kind of role we are in it."

"The conflict, in the end, is still between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Wu, or with His Royal Highness the Prince of Wu."

"Of course, if we agree, then we must be one of them, and we can't escape, but I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince of the World's arrangements for us, and we don't need to worry."

"The Timurid Empire has now been taken by the Delhi Sultan's Legion formed by His Royal Highness, and because of the famine caused by the extinction, the population of the Timurid Empire can now be said to be one in ten."

"When we pass, it can be said that the sea is wide and the fish jumps, and the sky is high and the birds fly."

"As for Princess Changning's side, I think it's good for you to tell the truth, junior brother, after all, this matter is not actually up to us."

"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is already expressing his stance to us, otherwise, this letter can be directly submitted to Shuntian Mansion, and then we will be ducks who have been caught up on the shelves, and if we don't agree, we have to agree."

"I'm sure Princess Changning will understand."

The three brothers of the Mu family glanced at each other, and they all saw relaxed expressions in their respective eyes.

He set off again, heading in the direction of Shuntianfu.

……

In fact, Zhu Zhanyan's plan is very simple, that is, to let the Mu family leave Yunnan, and there will be no difficulty in marrying at that time.

There are two reasons for this.

First, the Timurid Empire really needs people, and it is not necessary to rebuild Zhu Zhanyu, and it is not meaningful to rebuild a large area of plateaus and deserts.

From the day he set out on the Timurid Empire, Zhu Zhan's purpose was never the plateaus and deserts of the Timurid Empire, but only the two passes of Suez and Constantinople, as well as the large black land of the five Central Asian countries in later generations.

As for minerals such as oil...... That was for later.

The first two are easy to understand, they are both traffic arteries, perhaps after the ravages of Zhu Zhan Gully, Central and Western Asia and Europe need a long time to recover, but this kind of significant transportation arteries is impossible not to take.

As for the five countries of Central Asia, which are now the Golden Horde and the Byzantine Empire, there is nothing to say, the black land.

In this era when food is the most important thing, there is nothing better than this thing.

Second, it's time for someone to take over in Yunnan, and Zhu Zhanqi's person is his younger brother Zhu Zhanqi.

No matter how you say it, Yunnan is also Zhu Gaoxu's nominal fiefdom, even if Zhu Zhanyu lays down more land outside, this cannot be changed.

Zhu Zhan Yan never thought of giving up Yunnan, because that was his real destination in name and the real territory of him, the prince of Wu.

Transferring Mu's family to Suez to guard the traffic arteries, while he himself is pinching this part of Yunnan, which is both reasonable and reasonable.

Speaking of reason, Daming has laid down so many places, it can't be lost, right? After all, no matter how you say it, it is also defeated, and it is nominally the land of the Ming Dynasty.

The first article of the Great Ming Law: The one who loses the land is beheaded!

Zhu Zhanyan is understaffed, so he can't let the three go, right? After all, it's not his own people, not even Han people, who will he blame if he rebels in the future?

As for being reasonable, Yunnan is Zhu Gaoxu's fiefdom, and Zhu Zhanyu is the son of King Wu, so he will inherit Zhu Gaoxu's title in the future and control Yunnan, is it unreasonable?

But then again, whether it is for Zhu Zhanyan or the Mu family, this matter is a self-inflicted loss of eight hundred.

Needless to say, it is natural to say how natural the loss of the Mu family is, after all, it is a place that has been painstakingly operated for more than 40 years, as long as it is moved, although with Zhu Zhanyan's help, it is not a new one, but at least it has to be discounted.

However, there is a downside, and that is that the ceiling will be higher after moving out.

For Zhu Zhanyan, controlling Yunnan without the Mu family is indeed a lot simpler, but it is also a lot of trouble.

If there is no Mu family, then you have to send someone to keep an eye on it at all times.

But then again, if it wasn't married, Zhu Zhanyan wouldn't be able to trust the Mu family, at least he didn't dare to believe it.
