Since Mu Xiayan came back from Mu Chunsheng yesterday, he began to arrange people to pay attention to whether there was any change in Jinling City.

And the people who were soon sent out to investigate summarized the information and handed it over to Mu Xiayan.

"Akiba, recently I asked you to draw some of the masters scattered around the world, how did you do it?"

Mu Xiayan looked at the information in his hand and asked the young man next to him who was serving him tea.

"Uncle Xia Yan, so far, I have transferred one-third of the masters in the Southern Zhufan Kingdom back."

The young man known as Akiba stood straight in front of Mu Xiayan after setting up the tea.

"What about the people of the north?"

Hearing this, Mu Xiayan put down the paper in his hand and looked at Mu Qiuye with a frown.

"I didn't mobilize the people from the north."

Mu Qiuye replied with a little nervousness.

"Why?"

Mu Xiayan was not annoyed when he heard Mu Qiuye say this, he just calmly asked these two words.

"I think that at this time, if there is a large-scale mobilization of people in the north, it is likely that the imperial court will detect the clues."

Although Mu Qiuye was a little flustered in his heart, he still said his reasons.

"Is there any other reason?"

Mu Xiayan continued to ask.

"There is also this part of the people in the north, I plan to use it as a last resort, once it reaches the point where we can't do anything, we will have to break the net with Shengheng."

Mu Qiuye's face was hideous when he said this.

Mu Xiayan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard this.

Then he shook his head with a wry smile, and then continued to bury his head in the information in his hand.

And Mu Qiuye also secretly breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

Although nominally those people are in charge of themselves, and they have the power to make decisions and mobilize them, he did not discuss the transfer plan with Mu Xiayan in advance this time.

"What you said makes sense, although our Yin clan has been in charge of Zongzheng Temple since the founding of Dayu, and we seem to be on an equal footing with the emperor, but in fact, in the eyes of the imperial court, we have always been just a thorn in the flesh."

"Hmph, they are ungrateful, not to mention that we belong to the same line of Taizu, and our Zongzheng Temple has also played a pivotal role in mediating Zhufan and stabilizing the world for more than 300 years, but now they want to get rid of us, and it is really hateful."

Mu Qiuye said with a look of resentment.

"I think that if it weren't for the confusion of the ancestors and letting Nanyu's vein rebel, our Zongzheng Temple would not have ended up like this!"

"Presumptuous, the ancestors are also something you can criticize indiscriminately!"

Mu Xiayan slapped the table and scolded angrily.

"Uncle Xia Yan, is there something wrong with what I said? If the ancestors had listened to the advice of the Zhu clan and fought against Nanyu's gang together, why would we now nest in this new state and let him be slaughtered by Shengheng? ”

Mu Qiuye didn't admit it, he stiffened his neck and retorted.

Being questioned by Mu Qiuye like this, Mu Xiayan took a deep breath and then smiled bitterly.

"Autumn leaves, I'm also old, in the future, the position of this Zongzheng Temple is yours after all, there are some things I didn't want to tell you so early, but now that the matter has come to this, I will tell you some secrets in advance, in case this time Shengheng's means are superior, our Yin Clan's lineage will not completely die!"

Mu Xiayan said with a long sigh after smiling bitterly.

"Secrets?"

Mu Qiuye has always believed that as the actual controllers behind the Zongzheng Temple, they have all kinds of secrets that even the royal family does not know.

And as the next candidate for Zongzheng Temple, he thinks that he should have mastered all the secrets of Zongzheng Temple.

didn't expect Mu Xiayan to hide something from him.

"Hehe, Qiuye, you don't have to be strange, and don't blame Uncle Xia Yan for deliberately hiding from you, what I am going to tell you next is impossible for anyone else to know except for the previous temple."

When Mu Qiuye heard these secrets, only the temple of Zongzheng Temple was qualified to know, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

However, his expression did not change.

"Uncle Xia Yan, please rest assured, this matter is out of your mouth and in my ears, and no third party will know about it."

Mu Qiuye immediately pointed his fingers and wanted to make an oath to the sky.

"I'm very relieved about this, my only concern is whether you can accept it after you know it."

"Uncle Xia Yan, do you mean that these things are disgraceful?"

Mu Qiuye immediately understood the meaning of Mu Xia's words.

"Yes! The reason why these things have been deliberately hidden is because once these things are exposed, whether it is our Zongzheng Temple or the royal family, they will lose face. ”

Hearing this, Mu Qiuye couldn't help frowning.

"The first secret I want to tell is the reason why my Mu clan was divided into the Yin and Yang clans when they won the world."

Mu Xia softened and then spoke.

"You told me about this before, the reason why our Mu clan was divided into yin and yang clans was to prevent our Mu clan from being completely wiped out after Emperor Taizu's defeat!"

In fact, it was not uncommon for the big family to be divided into yin and yang clans in the previous dynasties, especially in the troubled times.

Because the big family at that time was the target of some ill-intentioned people in the troubled times.

At that time, some far-sighted big families would divide some people from the family to engage in unsightly activities, including bandits and bandits.

In this way, the Yin Clan can not only protect the Yang Clan in secret, but also greatly reduce the risk of the family being killed by others.

"It's not that simple!"

Mu Xiayan scoffed at Mu Qiuye's statement.

"Think about it carefully, although our Mu clan was divided into yin and yang clans when the great grandfather fought the world, but when the world has decided that my Mu clan will become the co-master of the world, who else can threaten our Mu clan, in this case, why should our Yin clan continue to hide after the establishment of the Dayu Dynasty?"

"This ······"

Mu Xiayan's question stopped Mu Qiuye.

Things are indeed as Mu Xiayan said, according to reason, when Emperor Taizu Gao set the world, their Mu clan had no opponents at that time, and their Yin clan also made great contributions when Emperor Taizu Gao competed for the world.

Logically speaking, they should also be crowned kings, tearing the earth, and enjoying glory and wealth.

But in the end, they, the Yin clan, were willing to give up their glory and wealth to hide behind their backs and establish Zongzheng Temple.

"Do you feel like you can't figure it out?"

"That's right, logically speaking, the ancestors, as the heirs of Emperor Taizu Gao, why didn't they choose to be crowned kings, but were willing to become the Yin clan hidden in the shadows?"

Mu Qiuye still knew something about the ancestors of their Yin clan.

The first Sizheng of their Mu Zongzheng Temple was the ninth son of Emperor Taizu Gao.

"The reason is very simple, because the identity of our Yin Clan ancestor is so special that people in the world are afraid of him, even Emperor Taizu Gao himself is no exception."

Mu Xiayan then said.

"How is this possible, even if our ancestors have a special identity, they will not make Emperor Taizu Gao jealous, right? Emperor Taizu Gao is the biological father of the ancestor! ”

Mu Qiuye felt incredible about Mu Xiayan's statement.

He really couldn't understand what kind of identity would make a father jealous of his son.

"Humph! Let's put it this way, if we count our ancestors by bloodline alone, they are much more noble than any later emperor. ”

Mu Xiayan said with an arrogant face.

"Could it be that the ancestors are ······?"

Suddenly, Mu Qiuye seemed to understand, so his eyes widened in disbelief.

"I think you also understand, that's right, the ancestor's mother is actually the daughter of the emperor of the previous dynasty."

Mu Xiayan said the answer that Mu Qiuye wanted to say but didn't dare to say.

"But even so, the ancestor won't give up his status as a vassal king, right?"

Mu Qiuye still felt that this matter was a little incredible.

"You don't understand, the ancestor's mother was captured by Emperor Taizu Gao, and Emperor Taizu Gao originally planned to release them all to show his broad mind to the world, and he told the world about this at the beginning."

"And how was the ancestor born?"

Mu Qiuye suddenly felt that what Mu Xiayan said didn't seem to be right.

"Humph! It's no wonder that the ancestor's mother is too beautiful, although she was wearing a guilty body at that time and has not been dressed up, but that beautiful face still makes Emperor Taizu Gao's heart pound! ”

Mu Xiayan said this, and couldn't help but sigh.

It is said that the son does not say the fault of the father, Mu Xiayan feels that as a descendant, it is really against the law of etiquette to tell the absurd things of the ancestors at the beginning.

"Later, Emperor Taizu Gao married the ancestor's mother?"

Mu Qiuye asked subconsciously.

"If it were as you said, the ancestors would not have given up the throne of the vassal king."

Mu Xiayan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"What's going on?"

Mu Qiuye asked puzzled.

"At the beginning, Emperor Taizu Gao really liked it too much after seeing the beauty of the ancestor's mother, but at that time, the edict had been promulgated in the world, and if the ancestor mother was not released, it would be dishonest in the world, so Emperor Taizu Gao forcibly took possession of the ancestor's mother that night······"

Speaking of this, Mu Xiayan's face was already crimson, in fact, he really couldn't accept that Emperor Taizu Gao did such a ridiculous thing.

"I see, no wonder Emperor Taizu Gao didn't give the ancestors the title of king."

Mu Qiuye suddenly realized.

"Yes, how embarrassed is Emperor Taizu Gao who has done such a shameful thing, in fact, Emperor Taizu Gao just wanted to have a night of fun with the ancestor's mother, but he never thought that the ancestor's mother would find out that she was pregnant soon after she was released."

"Emperor Taizu Gao didn't include the ancestral mother in the harem afterwards?"

Mu Qiuye couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard this, he originally thought that although Emperor Taizu Gao was romantic, he could still accept it.

After all, as the emperor's three wives and four concubines, it is nothing at all, compared to the absurd things that some vassal kings have done now, the past of Emperor Taizu Gao is not worth mentioning at all.

But after listening to what Mu Xiayan said, he knew why those ridiculous vassal kings were that virtuous now, and it turned out that they were all genetic.

"Humph! No! It is precisely because of this that the identity of the later ancestors is very embarrassing. ”

"But even if it is so, Emperor Taizu Gao will not treat the ancestor so badly, after all, the ancestor has his blood flowing in his body!"

Mu Qiuye now felt that the image of the divine and glorious Emperor Taizu Gao in his mind had collapsed all of a sudden.

"You're right, it stands to reason that Emperor Taizu Gao could have brought the ancestors into the palace and then declared that the ancestors were born to other concubines, but the problem was that the ancestors were too special at that time."

Mu Xiayan mentioned the word special again.

"What is so special about the Ancestors?"

Mu Qiuye felt that the peculiarity that Mu Xiayan said might be the real reason why their ancestors could not be crowned kings.

"Maybe it's because the ancestor's bloodline is too noble, which leads to the ancestor's natural vision."

"Born with a vision? What is the vision of the patriarchs? ”

Mu Qiuye was taken aback, he knew very well that it was recorded in the history books, but anyone who was born with a vision must be rich and noble.

"Ancestors were born with heavy pupils!"

"What ancestor was born with heavy pupils?"

Mu Qiuye was really taken aback at this time.

If there were other visions, he could accept them, but it was too rare to be born with double pupils.

And he also knew very well what the innate heavy pupil represented, which represented the image of the Holy King.

According to historical records, the ancient saint Emperor Shun was born with heavy pupils.

And later in history, there were also three double pupil emperors, each of whom was a holy monarch praised by ten thousand people.

"I understand, no wonder the ancestors can't seal the king, and even Emperor Taizu Gao has to hide him."

Mu Qiuye completely understood why Emperor Taizu Gao did that at this time.

To say that the ancestor of the Yin clan is just an ordinary child, maybe Emperor Taizu Gao will give him the title of king, but unfortunately he is born with heavy pupils.

With this kind of image of a holy king, but with the blood of the royal family of the previous dynasty, if he is crowned king, then the remnants of the previous dynasty will inevitably gather around him, which will lay a huge curse for the Dayu Dynasty.

"In fact, Emperor Taizu Gao didn't think about passing on the throne to the ancestors, after all, he was born with heavy pupils, he is the image of a holy king, plus he has the blood of the royal family of the previous dynasty, and the Dayu Dynasty will be completely stable if he succeeds to the throne."

"Then why didn't Emperor Taizu Gao choose to let the ancestor be the prince in the end?"

At this time, Mu Qiuye also felt that Emperor Taizu Gao could choose to let his ancestor succeed him.

"It's very simple, because the ministers don't agree, especially the generals!"

Mu Xiayan directly said the reason?

"Are they afraid that the ancestors will be liquidated after they succeed to the throne?"

Mu Qiuye is also a smart person, and he immediately figured out the reason for this.

After all, their ancestor was not only the son of Emperor Taizu Gao, but he was also the grandson of the last emperor of the previous dynasty.

And Emperor Taizu Gao was the one who destroyed the previous dynasty, and he was also the culprit who forced the emperor of the previous dynasty to death.

Although their ancestors would not seek revenge from Emperor Taizu Gao, after all, it was his own father, but those ministers were not necessarily.

The ministers, especially the generals, knew very well that each of them was involved in the war against the previous dynasty.

Many of them have the blood of the royal family of the previous dynasty on their hands.

Therefore, once the ancestor of the Yin clan succeeds to the throne, he will inevitably kill some ministers and avenge his mother clan.

Even those ministers and generals who did not kill the royal family of the previous dynasty would not be able to reuse them.

Therefore, this led to all the ministers opposing Emperor Taizu Gao's giving the Yin ancestor the title of king or choosing him as the heir to the throne.
