Chapter 45 Mu’s family motto?

In Lijiang City, Zhu Zhen stationed his army outside. The only ones accompanying him were Wang Fu and Zhao Kuo, and they each brought 100 people with them, for a total of [-] soldiers.

Following Mu De, Zhu Zhen finally arrived in Lijiang City.

Zhu Chu turned around and looked around, and found that everywhere on the street, ethnic minorities dressed in unique styles could be seen, and not even a Han Chinese could be seen.

"Uncle Mude, your place is really like a ball of iron, airtight," Zhu Ruyi said jokingly.

Mu De didn't understand what Zhu Zhen meant at first.

But he was already old, and it was said that the old man was old and the horse was old, so he understood it in his heart and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, it is not that we are xenophobic, but over the years, although the Central Plains have continued to migrate Han people to Yundi . But Yundi is too big, and there are too many wastelands that need to be reclaimed. Xiping Hou Muying couldn’t arrange it, so he didn’t arrange it to come to this city."

Is this really the case?
Zhu Ming raised his eyebrows and asked again: "Since you mentioned my brother Muying."

"Brother?" He was stunned.

Zhu Ming waved his hand and said: "Xiping Hou Muying is my father's adopted son, so he is naturally my eldest brother."

"Oh oh oh," Mu De finally understood what this relationship was about.

Mu De didn't see the black line between Wang Fu and Zhao Kuo behind Zhu Chu.

Because Zhu Ming called Mu Ying his eldest brother, God knows how uncomfortable Mu Chun was. In the past few days, Mu Chun had not even entered Dali City to pay respects to this little uncle Wang.

Zhu Ming crossed the topic and asked again: "But how did I hear that my brother Mu Ying wanted to send people to reclaim the wasteland around Heqing County, but you stopped him? What's going on?"

At the end of the sentence, Zhu Xi's eyes flickered.

But Wang Fu and Zhao Kuo behind him complained secretly.

My lord, your lord, you don’t ask about this kind of topic among our army outside, but you come to ask it inside other people’s territory?
Are you trying to force people to rebel?Or do you want to force others to kill you?
The guards, not to mention Zhu Chu, began to look around nervously.

Namu De was stunned for a moment, then sighed, and turned to shout to the crowd who had been pushed to the side by the guards and who had followed him outside the city to greet the team: "Achu, come here."

A burly man walked over quickly, and you could tell from his pace that he was also a fierce general.

"Dad," the big man named Ah Chu first called his father, then looked at Zhu Zhen, and after a moment's hesitation, he knelt down in the street.

"No need to be polite," Zhu Zhen raised his hand in vain, not allowing him to perform this grand ceremony in public.

Ah Chu's expression relaxed a little and he stood up calmly.

But suddenly, Mu De slapped A Chu hard on the face with a 'snap' sound.

This shocked everyone, Zhu Ming opened his mouth wide and looked at Mu De in confusion, what is this?
"You treacherous son, I'm not dead yet," Mu De suddenly shouted angrily at Ah Chu, "Our Mu family owes you His Majesty's love and trust, and we are allowed to guard Lijiang for His Majesty and the imperial court. What does the family motto I set say? Have you forgotten it? "

Ah Chu's eyes widened and he didn't dare to cover his face.

It must have been a real beating, Ah Chu was a strong man, but now one of his cheeks was already red and swollen.

Ah Chu's lips twitched, and his knees softened and he knelt in front of Zhu Chu.

"See His Majesty King Min, you are a thousand years old, a thousand years old," Ah Chu no longer paid attention to his surroundings, and kowtowed repeatedly, his head making a bang bang sound on the floor.

"Uncle Mu De, what are you doing? Please get up quickly." Zhu Zhen got up in a panic, because the emergency was sudden, and he didn't know why Mu De did this. "Your Highness wants you to get up," Mu De glanced at A Chu unhurriedly.

Ah Chu stood up quickly as if he had been granted amnesty.

Mu De turned his head, and when facing Zhu Chu, he put on a spring-breathing smile and said, "His name is A De A Chu, he is my eldest son, and he is also called Mu Chu because of his divine grace."

In fact, there is a special feature in the naming method of this toast, that is, the father will leave the second half of the name to his son, so Achu is Muchu’s real name, and the first half of Ade and Achu is Mude’s name. .

In other words, when Mu Chu has his own son, his son will be named after 'A Chu'.

Like Achu Atu or something.

"In order to live up to the holy grace, the little old man left behind a family motto. All my descendants who accept the official positions granted by the imperial court and guard the border towns must not waver or rebel, causing trouble to the imperial court and His Majesty. Furthermore, they must abide by the imperial court's instructions from generation to generation. The lessons must not be confused and the family motto of the Mu family cannot be destroyed."

Mu De slowly said the content of this family motto that moved even Zhu Zhen.

"This brat doesn't even kneel down when he sees His Highness? What's wrong with him? You have to remember, if His Majesty hadn't given us the surname Mu, how would we be any different from others?"

"Our Mu family is what we are today because of the gift of the imperial court and His Majesty. If we don't even know how to repay our kindness, wouldn't we be worse than animals?"

Mu De was still teaching his son.

In fact, the Mu clan was really interested in the Ming Dynasty. Not only did Mu De travel long distances for three months to reach the capital when he was 70 years old, he even paid tribute to the 'jade horse'.

And among the fourteen generations of Mu clan chieftains during the Ming Dynasty, at least twelve came to the capital to meet the saint and paid tribute nineteen times.

Even when the power of the court and the emperor was weak, or even when the court was empty, the Mu family would donate generously. For example, Mu De's eighth-generation grandson Mu Zeng once donated "2 taels of silver to support the Liao Dynasty."

2 taels was nothing to the Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty, but it was not a small amount to the chieftain of Yunnan.

Zhu Ming couldn't help but feel moved. At the same time, he finally understood why the system's alarm did not sound when he decided to possibly launch troops against Lijiang.

At least in the past few decades, no matter which chieftain tribe would rebel, he believed that the Mu chieftain tribe would never rebel.

Then, Mu De continued to explain to Zhu Zhen his previous doubts.

It turned out that Mu De was now old and at the time when power was changing, he intended to let his eldest son, Mu Chu, inherit his position as chieftain.

But because he has jurisdiction over four states and one county, including Heqing County.

Therefore, Mu De was worried that once Heqing County was occupied by Mu Ying's people in large numbers at this time, it would easily arouse dissatisfaction among the tribesmen and cause unnecessary disputes.

So Mu Decai wrote to Mu Ying. After discussion, Mu Yingcai decided not to touch Heqing County for the time being.

So this was the result of a discussion between Mu De and Mu Ying.

In fact, if you think about it, no matter how arrogant you are, you won't dare to provoke Mu Ying. Mu Ying is one of the three commanders who personally conquered Yunnan and is responsible for guarding Yunnan.

Mu Ying is not in charge of reclaiming wasteland. What he is really responsible for is preventing chieftains from causing trouble.

If Mu De dares to confront Mu Ying forcefully, wouldn't it give Mu Ying an opportunity to send troops?
The so-called script is really not what Zhu Zhen thought.
