Chapter 5 The Enthusiastic Marquis of Xiping
Today's Xipinghou Mansion is not yet the future Prince Mu's Mansion, but it can also be seen that Xipinghou Mansion is very majestic.

Although it was not built according to the specifications of a royal palace, Mu Ying was already a marquis after all, so the Xiping Marquis Mansion was very large.

Just looking from the outside in, you can see many majestic buildings.

Including the main entrance, although it is not as grand as the city gate or palace gate, it is equally majestic.

The Xipinghou Mansion had obviously received the news and opened the door in a very serious manner at this time.

The main door is closed on weekdays. Only guests of a certain size will be opened to greet them. Otherwise, they have to go through the side door. Especially for family members, everything is kept simple.

But today was different. Even Xiping Hou Muying personally greeted him, and behind him was a young man who was a few years younger than Mu Chun.

It was Mu Ying's second son Mu Sheng and third son Mu Ang.

The fourth son Mu Ying died young, and the fifth son Mu Xin did not come out because he was young.

Mu Ying's wife, daughter, and family members did not come out to greet him, which would seem disrespectful. Unless Zhu Ming was accompanied by his family members, the princess, or his mother, Concubine Zhou, would come out to greet him.

"The Marquis of Xiping Muying came to see His Highness King Min." Although Muying was already very old, she did not dare to neglect. Instead, she walked a few steps faster and came to Zhu Chu, making a show of saluting.

The two sons behind him pouted their lips in a young and energetic manner, looking a little arrogant.

After all, in their view, their father was a great general with great military achievements, while Zhu Zhen, a 12-year-old boy, became a border guard prince just because of his birth.

It's just so unfair.

The more they respected their father, the more they couldn't stand it when the father had to salute a child.

Looking at Zhu Ming again, of course he would not really let Mu Ying give him a big salute. He hurriedly greeted her and raised his hand to support her, saying: "There is no need to be polite. Speaking of which, you are older than my eldest brother, the prince, even though we are not related by blood. Relationship, but you are our brother’s half-brother. Brother Mu.”

Mu Ying froze there and suddenly became confused in the wind.

He was born in 24, and it is September of the [-]th year of Hongwu ([-]).

In other words, he is 46 years old, and he is about to turn 50 and turn 12, but he is called eldest brother by a [-]-year-old prince.

But there was no problem at all, and Zhu Xi was even very sincere. This was really a compliment.

What's more, Muying has always been a person who knows how to repay kindness, and she has never forgotten the kindness of her adopted father and mother.

So at this moment Mu Ying turned around and laughed heartily: "Then I won't be polite, eighteenth brother."

"Of course," Zhu Zhen agreed with a smile.

After all, Zhu Xi is new here, so he won't be stupid enough to offend Mu Ying. It seems that he is taking advantage, but isn't he showing weakness?

As a prince, what about the Marquis of Xiping?Muying should have knelt down to pick him up.

But now Mu Ying has suddenly transformed and can claim to be her elder brother, which has infinitely brought the status of both parties closer.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Ming really gave Mu Ying face.

So although Muchun had a weird expression, he still shouted respectfully: "Uncle Wang, father, this is not the place to talk. You'd better go in and talk."

"Yes, yes," Mu Ying said again and again: "The house has prepared a family banquet to welcome the eighteenth brother. Is this Wang Fu, the commander of King Min's guards? Please arrange for your brothers to go to the side room."

Wang Fu nodded and agreed, but there was no need for him to make the arrangements himself. Instead, he asked the four ministers to take the guards and leave.As for Wang Fu himself and two fellow conductors, they have been following Zhu Chu.

After all, it is their duty to protect Zhu Zhen, not to mention that their positions are not low.

Then Mu Chun asked his two younger brothers to leave with their guards from the Xiping Hou Mansion. Mu Ying and Mu Chun led Zhu and the others across the threshold of the gate and arrived at the inner courtyard of the Xiping Hou Mansion.

Muying still attached great importance to welcoming Zhu Zhen this time. Not only did she personally greet him outside the house, but a banquet and a table full of delicious food had already been set up in the main house.

Even beef was served. You must know that in ancient times, especially in the Ming Dynasty, those who slaughtered cattle without permission would not only be beaten with a hundred sticks, but also sentenced and exiled.

And with the level of science and technology in ancient times, even if a cow died of old age and reported it to the government, it could be eaten, but how could it happen that a cow would die of old age just in time?
So where this beef comes from is often tacitly understood.

Zhu Zheng didn't care about many things. He used to be a transparent prince in the palace, and he had to keep a low profile and dare not reveal secrets, but he did not enjoy the treatment that a prince should have.

What's more, as a commoner emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang naturally didn't like extravagance and waste as he had experienced countless pains and tortures at a young age.

So life in the palace is really not that good.

Another tiring journey.

So Zhu Chu was not polite and just shook his cheeks, eating whatever was delicious.

Anyway, he is young and has the highest status. Even the chief seat is given to him, so who dares to say anything.

Mu Ying was also very sensible, so she turned around to meet Wang Fu for a drink and chat about some things on the road. It was considered a good time for host and guest.

Waiting until Zhu Chu's belly was almost stretched into a ball, Mu Ying saw that it was almost done, and then she got down to business: "His Royal Highness King Min."

Hearing Mu Ying call her Wang Jue again, Zhu Zhen wiped the oil from his mouth and looked at Mu Ying.

Mu Ying said: "Your Majesty has sent a decree. Although I still bear the burden of guarding Yundi, I will remove two troops as your royal guards, a total of 5 people, and two commanders. At the same time, Dali Do you think it’s feasible as your fiefdom?”

5 people?Together with Wang Fu's 1 people, Zhu Zhen, the border guard prince, finally had his own power.

Although it has not reached the size of an army of [-], you must know that he is a vassal king, and there are only a few vassal kings who can have an army of [-].

You must know that even when King Yan Zhu Di raised an army, he only shouted for an army of [-].

Zhu Di is still Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite prince.

So Zhu Chu is already pretty good.

There are many complicated relationships here. One is that Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Min was young, so he gave him some compensation and protection.

In fact, there are some reasons. Before Zhu Zhen, the king of Jingjiang, Zhu Shouqian, and the king of Zhou, Zhu Xi, were all granted lands to Yunnan. However, these two men (Zhu Shouqian was Zhu Yuanzhang's grandnephew and belonged to Zhu Yunzhang's generation) were all about eating, drinking and having fun. The master was finally recalled by Lao Zhu.

Therefore, although Mu Ying was Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son, Lao Zhu was still worried that Mu Ying would become the most powerful warlord.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang still used Mu Ying as the main general guarding Yunnan.

But what does Muying think?Does he dare to arouse the suspicion of His Majesty, who is so decisive in killing?

So Mu Ying directly gave up the [-]-strong army, which seemed to mean that he would share control of Yunnan with Zhu Zhen, who had just arrived.
