Daming Greedy Wolf Star

Chapter 282
Yunnan, Prince Qianning's Mansion.

Mu Sheng, Mu Ang and Mu Xin were sitting in a group. Their eyes, expressions and movements were all surprisingly consistent.

They all stared at the memorial on the table.

This is the memorial that Zhu Zhanhe is going to submit to Shuntian Mansion, and the reason why it appears here is because this matter requires the approval of the Mu family.

After all, marriage is not a matter of shaving one's head, and it is not possible to be hot-headed.

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

However, the answer to him was silence.

Whether it is Mu Sheng, the current head of the Guizhou Ning Palace, or Mu Ang, who has temporarily handled Yunnan affairs for his second brother countless times, or Mu Xin, the Ming Emperor's consort, all know about this memorial. mean something.

Once they agree, this memorial will be sent to Shuntian Mansion, and the Mu family will be completely tied to the lineage of King Wu.

From then on, if the king of Wu rises, they will be strong, and if the king of Wu declines, they will lose.

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

In normal times, he would basically decide all the matters in Yunnan or Qianning Palace by himself. Basically, as long as it did not involve his fourth brother Mu Xin's family, other matters would be like this.

As for Mu Xin's family, there is a princess there after all, and she is 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 Tuk.

Mu Sheng gently knocked on the table and attracted the attention of his two younger brothers.

"Procrastinating is not the same thing. This matter is related to the future of our family. I don't want to make the decision myself. You also have a say."

"Procrastination is definitely not possible. For Prince Wu, if we delay, then he will tacitly admit that we have chosen to refuse."

"So, whether you agree or reject, you each have to tell me what you think."

"Don't be burdened. After all, this is a matter that concerns our entire Mu family. As for the final decision..."

"If there is consensus, that's best. But if there are differences of opinion, then... let the minority obey the majority."

……

Mu Ang and Mu Xin looked at each other and saw a solemn look in each other's eyes.

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

If he agrees, it will be tantamount to directly drawing a clear line with the imperial court, and being completely tied to the lineage of King Wu.

If they refuse, it will be equivalent to drawing a clear line with Zhu Zhanhe. In the future, they don't have to think about Zhu Zhanhe's good things. It will be good if they are not targeted by Zhu Zhanhe.

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

"I personally tend to agree. As for the reason...the imperial court moved the capital, after all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. No matter how long your hand is, it is not easy to reach Yunnan."

"After all, Yunnan is also the fiefdom of His Highness King Wu. We are nominally on his fiefdom, and at most we can be regarded as errands."

"If you refuse, you all know His Royal Highness's temperament, and I'm afraid he won't have a good life in the future."

"Then..." After hearing what the second brother said, Mu Xin opened his mouth.

"What if we report this to the court and ask the court to change our Mu family's place?"

As soon as Mu Xin said this, Mu Sheng and Mu Ang looked at each other.

After all, Mu Xin's wife is the princess of the dynasty, and her work tends to the court... It's not surprising.

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

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

"How many years have our Mu family been in Yunnan? Counting from the time when my father guarded Yunnan under the orders of Emperor Taizu Gao, it has been more than forty years now."

"Having been in Yunnan for more than [-] years, it can be said that everything in our family is in Yunnan. It is not easy to move away..."

"But..." Mu Xin didn't want to give up her idea.

"According to His Royal Highness, if it is agreed, we cannot continue to stay in Yunnan."

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

"The situation in the imperial court has been settled, and the enfeoffment of the vassal kings has been fixed. As for our family, we should not think about it around Yingtian Mansion and Shuntian Mansion. It is impossible."

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

Mu Xin was silent after hearing this.

As the saying goes: It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

The sweetness that one can taste by following Zhu Zhanhe is something that cannot be tasted by following other vassal kings.

Nowadays, among the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty, how many people can have such a high degree of freedom and such a large territory like the King of Wu?

You can say that those territories were conquered by Zhu Zhanhe himself and were not conferred by the imperial court, but doesn't this explain the problem more?
Which of the vassal kings who are of the same generation as the current emperor Zhu Di has such rights?The current vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty are estimated to have the least power in all dynasties.

The current emperor's third son, Zhu Gaosui, is not doing much better. Do you still expect the emperor to trust his brothers and nephews?
Don't be ridiculous, don't you know how Emperor Yongle came to sit on the throne?

"Personally, I think we should obey the imperial court's orders." Knowing that she couldn't argue, Mu Xin sighed softly, summarized her thoughts, and then stopped talking.

Mu Sheng didn't say anything anymore. After all, they were all brothers, so there was no need to be aggressive.

Besides, Mu Xin was different from them. They were raised as military generals since they were young, and all history books and classics were elective courses, but Mu Xin was exactly the opposite of them.

Mu Xin was raised as a scholar since she was a child. History and classics were compulsory courses, while military strategy was an elective course.

"Third brother, what about you?" Now one to one, Mu Sheng and Mu Xin turned their attention to Mu Ang at the same time.

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

"agree."

Mu Xin sighed softly, and then asked with a bit of entanglement: "What about Princess Chang Ning? I have to have an explanation, right?"

After all, it was the Mu family who were in the same camp as her brothers. Mu Xin still chose to stay close to her brothers.

"Second brother, younger brother, I think you are overcomplicating things." Mu Ang looked at his brother, and then took the memorial.

"Actually, His Royal Highness has written very clearly on this. He explained the whole process of this matter clearly. As long as this memorial is submitted, the imperial court will know what kind of role we are in it."

"The conflict is ultimately between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness King Wu, or rather between His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Wu."

"Of course, if it is agreed, then we will definitely be one of them and we will not be able to escape. But I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince's arrangements for us, and we don't need to worry."

"The Timur Empire has now been captured by the Delhi Sultan Army formed by His Royal Highness, and due to the harvest famine, the population in the Timur Empire can now be said to be down to ten."

"When we pass by, it can be said that the sea is wide enough for fish to leap, and the sky is high enough for birds to fly."

"As for Princess Chang Ning, I think you just tell the truth, little brother. After all, this matter is actually not something we can decide."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already made a statement to us. Otherwise, this memorial can be submitted directly to Shuntian Mansion. At that time, we will be the ducks being pushed. We will have to agree even if we don't agree."

"I believe Princess Chang Ning will understand."

The three brothers of the Mu family looked at each other and saw a look of relaxation in their eyes.

After the memorial, he set off again, heading in the direction of Shuntian Mansion.

……

In fact, Zhu Zhanhe's plan is very simple, which is to let the Mu family leave Yunnan, and then the marriage will not be difficult.

This is done for two reasons.

First, the Timur Empire really needs people, and there is no need to rebuild Zhu Zhanhe. It would not make much sense to rebuild the vast plateaus and deserts.

From the day he set out to conquer the Timur Empire, Zhu Zhanhe's goal was never the plateaus and deserts of the Timur Empire. What he wanted was only the Suez region, the two passes of Constantinople, and the future generations. The large black land in the five Central Asian countries.

As for oil and other minerals... that is a matter for the future.

The first two are easy to understand, both are traffic arteries, perhaps after Zhu Zhanhe’s ravages, it will take a long time for Central Asia and Europe to recover, but this kind of significant traffic arteries, it is impossible not to win possible.

As for the five Central Asian countries, which are now the Golden Horde and the Byzantine Empire, there is not much to say, just black soil.

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

Secondly, it was time for someone to take over the Yunnan side, and the person Zhu Zhanhe decided to take over was his younger brother Zhu Zhanqi.

After all, Yunnan is also Zhu Gaoxu's nominal fiefdom. No matter how much land Zhu Zhanhe conquers outside, this cannot be changed.

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

It is both reasonable and reasonable to take the Mu family to Suez and guard the main traffic road, while I keep a tight grip on Yunnan.

It makes sense, the Ming Dynasty has conquered so many places, it can’t be lost, right?After all, no matter how you say it, it has been conquered, and it is nominally the land of the Ming Dynasty.

Article [-] of the Ming Dynasty Law: Those who lose their land will be killed!

Zhu Zhanhe is short of manpower, so he can't let the Asans go, right?After all, they are not one of our own people, not even Han. Who can we blame if we rebel in the future?

As for being reasonable, Yunnan is Zhu Gaoxu's fiefdom, and Zhu Zhanhe is the son of King Wu, who will inherit Zhu Gaoxu's title in the future. Is it unreasonable to control Yunnan?

But then again, this matter is self-defeating for both Zhu Zhanhe and the Mu family.

It goes without saying how much the Mu family has suffered. After all, it is a place that has been painstakingly managed for more than 40 years. As long as they move away, although it is not a starting over with Zhu Zhanhe's help, it will at least be half the price.

But there is a good thing, that is, the upper limit will become higher after moving out.

For Zhu Zhanhe, controlling Yunnan without the Mu family is indeed a lot easier, but it is also a lot more troublesome.

Without the Mu family, someone would have to keep an eye on it at all times.

But then again, without marriage, Zhu Zhanhe would not be able to trust the Mu family, at least not deeply.
