Chapter 524: Yu Xipeng
Mu Tianbo did not send anyone to follow Wang Guoxing to investigate his whereabouts.
It's not that he doesn't want to, but he doesn't dare.
Once discovered by Jinyiwei and stabbed to Chongzhen, the Duke of Qianguo, who has been inherited for more than two hundred years, is likely to be taken away.
Their Mu family is indeed loyal, but it doesn't mean that they don't have a temper.
Jin Yiwei's arrogant appearance made him a little resistant in his heart. π.ππΎπππ¦.βπ Ύπ
At the same time that Wang Guoxing went to Chuxiong, Mu Tianbo found Yu Xipeng, the housekeeper of the Qianguo Mansion.
The butler here is not a butler in the traditional sense.
The traditional butler was only responsible for the affairs of the palace and did not serve in the imperial court.
Yu Xipeng is different, he has an official position.
According to the available information, his position is to command the envoy of the Yunnan Metropolitan Command (if in doubt, if you know, you can leave a message).
Responsible for helping Mu Tianbo deal with the relationship between the toasts.
Yu Xipeng was called a traitor in the "Continuation of the Ming Chronicle", because he owed Mu Tianbo tens of thousands of taels of silver and could not repay it, so he took the opportunity to contact Sha Dingzhou to deliberately reveal the wealth of Mu Wangfu to him.
and vaguely told him that these riches originally belonged to their local tribes, and they were robbed by Mu Wangfu's tyrannical expropriation.
If the root cause of the Shapu Rebellion was the Ming court's change of land and return to the stream, then the direct cause was that Yu Xipeng deliberately exposed his wealth, making the local toasts ready to move.
In fact, Yu Xipeng had no chance to get on the throne.
Mu Tianbo was only ten years old when he inherited the title, and he didn't understand anything.
It all relied on the housekeeper Ruan Chenglin at the time to help take care of the inside and outside.
Nguyen Cheng Lin is shrewd, capable, and impartial, and is best at dealing with the relationship between the toasts.
In the more than ten years that he has helped deal with, the toasts in Yunnan have been at peace with each other, and the whole Yunnan has been peaceful.
Pity... Yu Xipeng deliberately framed him in order to fight for power with Ruan Chenglin.
Mu Tianbo felt that he had grown up and his wings were stiffened, so he didn't have to need Ruan Chenglin as before.
He was ordered to be put to death.
After Ruan Chenglin's death, Yu Xipeng became the housekeeper of King Mu's mansion and held some real power.
Yu Xipeng gave a deep salute after seeing Mu Tianbo: "Mu Guogong is looking for me? β
"Well," Mu Tianbo nodded, and handed him the news sent by Jin Yiwei: "Check whether this information is true or false." β
Yu Xipeng's heart was shocked after reading these news, but he replied quietly on his face: "I'll investigate it." β
After leaving King Mu's mansion, Yu Xipeng sent two groups of people.
A group of people disguised themselves to go to Yuanmou to investigate Wu Bikui, and another group of people went to see Sha Dingzhou with Yu Xipeng's secret letter.
Six days later, the first wave returned to the capital city of Yunnan.
"Qi Qi Mu Guogong, those news are true, Wu Bikui does have the intention of rebellion!" Yu Xipeng said to Mu Tianbo.
"What?" Mu Tianbo was shocked after hearing this: "How dare he rebel?" β
"At this point, Mu Guogong should not be entangled in why he rebelled, the top priority is to mobilize troops to prepare for the rebellion." Yu Xipeng showed a loyal look.
"Indeed," Mu Tianbo nodded solemnly, and then sat on the chair to think about countermeasures.
After a while, he had an idea: "Immediately release the news, and it will be said that Li Chuang's thief army will go out of Hanzhong in three ways, preparing to attack Chengdu from Jinniu Road and Bazhong from Micang Road."
