Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Moreover, according to the development of the situation, after Liu Jin took over the power, in order to improve his prestige, he would inevitably extend his hand to the army and reform the military hoarding system.

This will inevitably cause dissatisfaction in the army.

When King Anhua saw this opportunity, he would rebel against him.

At that time, it will be the time for Su Mu to put down the rebellion and gain meritorious service.

Su Mu has already thought about this matter clearly. On the surface, with his modern foresight and the favor of the emperor, after ten years of experience, it is no problem to join the cabinet.

However, even if the position of cabinet minister continues, it is impossible to pass it on to his children and grandchildren when he retires.

He now has three wives, a son and a daughter.There will be more children in the future, and it is no problem with his Su Mu's ability to feed so many people.

However, it is impossible to pass on such things as official positions to future generations.

No one knows how many years Emperor Zhengde can live.When Su Mu gets old and retires, and fades out of the political arena, if his children have no official position and are wealthy, they will inevitably not be coveted.Without a title, it's just a piece of fat, and anyone wants to take a bite.

But if the children want to be officials, even if their fathers are in the first rank, they have to rely on the imperial examination step by step.

The problem is that the road to the imperial examination is not easy, and no one can tell whether the children will be able to make it there in the future.

Instead of bothering about this matter, it is better to find them a title early, which can be passed down from generation to generation.For example, the Xu family in Nanjing, who has the title of duke of the country, looking at the world, there is no one who dares to trouble the duke of the country yet!

The so-called, don't plan for a moment, don't plan for a lifetime, some things still have to be thought of ahead.

There is a rule in the Ming Dynasty, in fact, any dynasty has this rule.Jobs are based on abilities, and honors are rewarded for meritorious service.

That is to say, if you have outstanding ability, you can be promoted in this official, and you can even be the chief assistant of the cabinet.But without military merit, even if you are a first-rank official, you can't get any titles.

If Su Mu retires in the future, his children will have no fame. To put it bluntly, the Su family is nothing more than a gentry, and there is still a long way to go from a rich and famous family.

The virtue of a gentleman is slaughtered for three generations, and after a hundred years, the Su family will be wiped out by everyone.

But this time he was able to quell the Anhua King's rebellion with his own efforts, and Su Mu could at least get an earl, which could be passed on to his descendants in the future.And Hu Shun is an uncle who cannot be feared. After he dies, Hu Keji can directly attack him.

In other words, as long as this matter is done well, the Su family can get two titles.

For himself and for the sake of his descendants, Su Mu has to fight no matter what.

As for Mei Niang's matter, let's put it aside and talk about it later, anyway, she is already married to someone else, all Su Mu can do is take revenge on that Wang Qianhu and express his anger.

Su Mu and Qiu Yue are now in conflict, he has decided to quell the Anhua King's rebellion this time, and by the way, Qiu Yue will also be dealt with.When a gentleman acts, he should be happy to be kind and enmity, and he should not have a half-day benevolent heart.

However, without Qiu Yue's participation, there were no soldiers at hand.

As far as Su Mu knew, Hu Shun only brought Hu Jinxue and two Jinyi guards with him when he inspected the three sides.He himself said that he has planted a lot of eyes and ears in the army, but this old man has always been unreliable in his work, and Su Mu dare not put all his hopes on him.

It's better to personally master a powerful force, and it doesn't take much, just a second or third person is enough for a brave man.

When it's time to start, just take a beheading operation and take down King Anhua, and the rebellion will be put down.

The question is, where to find this power?

Su Mu looked at the snowflakes outside the window and fell into thought.

At this time, suddenly, a baby's cry sounded outside: "Brother Xie, why are you here, get up, get up, you're all frozen."

"Xie Ranran!" Surprised, Su Mu hurriedly opened the door and went out, only to see Xie Ranran kneeling at the entrance of the courtyard.

Because there is no window facing the study, Su Mu didn't notice it before.

I don't know how long he knelt there, the snow had already fallen on his head and shoulders.

Xie naturally has a strong body and strong firepower.The snowflakes that fell on the top of the head were roasted by the heat of the body, and white air immediately rose.

The snowflakes turned into snow water, flowing down his face and into his neck.

Xie Ranran's face was already livid with cold, and his whole body was so stiff that he couldn't even shake.

Nannan probably only knew that Xie Ranran was kneeling in Su Mu's yard, and hurried over.

The eye circles were red, and she hurriedly pulled his arm: "Get up, get up!"

"No, let me go, let me kneel here." Xie Ran tried his best to shake off Nannan's hand, probably because he was too stiff, his voice was vague.

When had Nannan been treated like this by Xie Ranran, she was startled, she turned her head and shouted to Su Mu: "Daddy, please wake up Brother Xie's family, or someone will freeze to death."

Su Mu read the mansion newspaper and letter just now, and was thinking about King Anhua's rebellion, and was upset. Seeing this situation, his heart became angry, and he shouted sharply: "Xie Ziran, what do you want to do? Who told you to kneel here?" ?”

While talking, Su Mu waved his hand at Zhao Hulu: "What are you doing there?"

Zhao Hulu woke up and yelled: "Come here, quickly carry Mr. Xie into the house."

A few henchmen of somat hurriedly rushed up, moving hands and feet, carrying Xie Ranran into the house like a wooden stake.

They dug a basin of snow, and rubbed Xie Ranran's heart, hands and feet vigorously for a long time, and finally wiped a blush on his frozen skin.

After pouring a bowl of ginger soup into Xie Ziran's mouth, Xie Juren's face looked a little more human.

If most people are frozen like this in the snow, they will at least lie in bed for several days.Xie is naturally in good health. In the past few years in business, he has encountered such storms countless times.

In just a moment, he was about to stand up.

Su Mu stood beside him frowning all the time, and when Xie Ranran returned to normal, his mood also returned to calm.

He held him down and shouted: "Jun Fu, what are you doing kneeling in the snow?"

Xie Tianran didn't speak, just knelt and kowtowed, knocking the bed board loudly.

Su Mu said with a sullen face, "A man, if you have something to say, just say it."

"Teacher, student... student, I'm sorry for you old man..." Xie Ziran burst into tears.

Zhao Hulu hurriedly handed over to the long attendants, who felt it and quietly backed out.

"My lord, Mr. Xie probably came to apologize today, right?"

Su Mu was puzzled: "Jun Fu, you didn't do anything, what kind of crime did you ask for, it's so strange."

Xie Ranran gritted his teeth: "Miss Nannan has lived in the student's residence for more than three months. The student didn't know Miss Su's identity at the beginning, which damaged her reputation. Even one death is not enough to cover the student's crimes."
