Chapter 87 Can't afford to provoke, can't afford to provoke!
"Thank you, Steward Fu."

Outside Huaininghou's mansion, Mu Xiyun thankfully saluted Uncle Fu who came out to pick her up.

Fu Bo hurriedly turned sideways, not daring to accept this gift.

Although it is said that he is a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister.

But seeing Mu Xiyun become the eldest son's wife should be inseparable.

Then Uncle Uncle would not accept her gift.

"Miss Mu, you are being polite. The servants are also obeying the order of the prince."

"please."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, he sent Mu Xiyun to the carriage.

Fu Bo took several nursing homes of the Hou Mansion, followed Mu Xiyun in another carriage, and went straight to Mu's house.

As for Peng Polu, of course he won't show up, and Mu Xiyun didn't mention that he wanted to see Lord Hou.

Before Mu Xiyun married into the family, the status and status of the two were far apart.

It is impossible for Peng Polu to see Mu Xiyun because of this kind of thing.

Otherwise, if it spreads out, there will be bad influence of Marquis Huaining meddling in the private affairs of the Mu family.

It doesn't matter to Peng Ke, because he is a junior and has a "close relationship" with Mu Xiyun, which can only be regarded as a matter of personal friendship.

Aristocracy is a very special thing.

Sometimes, the behavior of the prince can represent the will of the Houfu.

But sometimes, the son's behavior can't represent the Hou family.

Not to mention Hou Ye's family, even Tian's family has two faces.

If the prince does a good job, it represents the face of the royal family and is ordered by the emperor.

But what if the crown prince did something bad?

I'm sorry, it's all the prince's own decision, it has nothing to do with the emperor, the fault is all the prince's fault!

Now the Peng family obviously doesn't want to meddle in the Mu family's affairs.

Peng Ke "helped" Mu Xiyun in his capacity as the commander of Jinyiwei.

Even if the honorable members of Yingtian Mansion knew it well, the old Peng family had been planning this for many fucking years.

But no one will pierce this layer of paste paper.

Otherwise, it would be slapping Lao Peng's family in the face.

Lao Peng was also one of the most evil people in Daming back then.

Because Peng Ke's grandfather died early that year, Peng Polu inherited the title of Marquis of Huaining at the age of 15 and began to lead the army in combat.

From the fifth year of Hongwu to the 20th year, in 15 years, Lao Peng went from a thousand households who commanded thousands of people, to the Northern Expedition eight times, all the way to relying on military exploits to fight from a first-rank General Jianwei!

If you go out, you will be the left and right deputy generals, and if you enter, you will be the governor of the Dudufu of the Five Armies!

If it hadn't been for retreating early back then, during Feng Sheng's Northern Expedition, it wouldn't have been clear whether the deputy general would have been Lan Yu or Peng Polu!

Back then, his position in the army was second only to the founders of the Six Kingdoms!

The beating barbarian called Dad!
Even if Lan Yu followed Feng Sheng in the Northern Expedition, and later returned with a great victory, he was also named Duke, but his power in the army was only comparable to that of Peng Polu!

That is, the 20th year of Hongwu.

Peng Polu resigned from all his official posts to Emperor Hongwu and recuperated at home on the grounds that the war was gradually extinguished and he was "advanced" and that his old injuries had recurred due to years of fighting.

Only then did he restrain some of his might, and disappeared from the court's sight.

When Peng Polu retired back then, he was only 31 years old, and he could not be called "old" at all!
At that time, many people in the court did not understand, especially Lan Yu and Feng Sheng, who felt that Peng Polu's heart was too small, and the age of 31 was the time to work harder on his career.

Later, Lan Yu said a lot, if Peng Polu had joined them in the Northern Expedition back then, then the position of the Duke of the State would also be expected!
Every time Peng Polu just smiled and said nothing.

As a result, the several princes who had looked down on Peng Polu at the beginning all became cool one after another.

In the 26th year of Hongwu, Sapphire was killed for treason, peeled the real grass, and spread it around.

In the 27th year of Hongwu, Fu Youde was given to death.

In the 28th year of Hongwu, Feng Sheng was granted death.

The three of them are the general and the left and right deputy generals of Hongwu's 20th Northern Expedition.

But Peng Polu is still enjoying the happiness in the Hou's mansion.

It is precisely because of his initiative not to love power, he knows when to retreat bravely.

Only then did Emperor Hongwu treat Peng Ke differently, and on the grounds of his invention of the telegraph, he was promoted to the commander of the Jinyiwei in one step to show his affection.

There has never been any noble disciple before, who can become a high-ranking official of the third rank just by becoming an official.

That is to say, the commander of Jin Yiwei made this official a bit special. Strictly speaking, Jin Yiwei belonged to the emperor's retainers, not courtiers, so Emperor Hongwu could appoint him as he wanted.

Although the official position of Commander Jinyiwei is not a good job for the first two.

But aside from doing dirty work, the commander of Jinyiwei can be said to be the position that Emperor Hongwu trusted most, more than the foreign ministers.

After Peng Ke took office, Emperor Hongwu's attitude towards him was still acceptable, and he didn't let him set off any major case of purging the court and make him blame him.

He was just asked to clean up the Jianghu, and the people in the Jianghu obviously didn't need it, and they didn't mean to make Peng Ke, the commander, bear any big blame.

After all, in Ming Dynasty, the system and everything are already sound.

Even if Emperor Hongwu was the founding emperor, it was impossible for the Sacred Heart to be so dictatorial that he directly promoted Peng Ke to a high position.

Especially when he has not inherited the title, he has to follow the official system.

Emperor Hongwu made it clear that he wanted Peng Ke to be gilded.

After a few years of transition in the position of commander of Jinyiwei, it can be regarded as a solid foundation.

At that time, he will be transferred to a local area to serve as a garrison. Even if he is a serious third-rank military officer, he can lead the army.

This is much simpler than climbing up bit by bit from a young general.

And Peng Ke's treatment is the smooth road that Peng Polu got in exchange for after he sensibly gave up his military power.

There was a tacit understanding between him and Emperor Hongwu, the monarch and his ministers.

Peng Polu gave up his military power and became an idle general at home.

Peng Ke entered the court on behalf of the Huaininghou Mansion.

His resume is almost as clean as a piece of blank paper, without any background in military achievements, he can be trained as a confidant of the next emperor.

Even Emperor Hongwu would arrange some military merits for him, so that Peng Ke could accumulate prestige and a certain limit of military power, so that he could better shine for the next emperor.

Anyway, there is no need to worry about him being a young and highly skilled master.

Peng Polu's tricks, the nobles who were all over the capital at the beginning, haven't seen it yet.

But when several high-achieving masters of the state were liquidated by Emperor Hongwu.

However, after Peng Ke suddenly took over the commander of Jin Yiwei inexplicably, everything couldn't be more clear.

After understanding Peng Polu's operation, among the honorable men who still exist in the Ming Dynasty, who wouldn't be afraid of Peng Polu?
This is the real scheming, the real one-step, ten-step old bastard!

Among all the nobles in Ming Dynasty, the Peng family has the brightest future.

Don't worry about Emperor Hongwu's knife, and it is basically confirmed that he will become a member of the core leadership team of the next emperor after he ascends the throne!
In this era of one emperor and one courtier, the Peng family, who had already secured their position in advance, was simply a superstar shining among the nobles of the Ming Dynasty!
Who dares to tease Peng Polu's tiger whiskers at this time?
Not to mention slapping the Peng family's face, it's too late to get my own face up to the Peng family!

As for such a small matter in the Mu family, everyone tacitly knew that it would definitely rot in their stomachs.

And dare not spread it out at all.

Not to mention discussing in private that Marquis Huaining meddled in the private affairs of the Mu family.

Lao Peng and Xiao Peng, neither of them can be provoked now!
