Chapter 116 Crisis
The capital. On this day, Mu Yan stayed in the mansion for a rest.
At noon, Kan Er knocked on the door of the study: "Master, the lady has sent a wife here."
"What for?"
"Say it's tailor-made for the young master."
"unnecessary."
Do you want to make more clothes? This young master.
I am willing to wear those blue, black and black clothes every day. Where does this look like a young man in fresh clothes and angry horse? He is simply a wasted person who Qian Fan spent the rest of his life in.
Kan Er was a little distressed, and took a look at Li Yi.
Li Yi took a step forward: "Ma'am should have received an invitation to the Empress Dowager's Celebration. There are only Madam and your two masters in our house. I'm afraid they will all go. I just want to make some bright clothes, so it's not easy for people to look at them." lighter."
Mu Yan paused, put down the scroll in his hand: "Let them in."
Kan Er quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
In the hall, Mrs. Cheng was also stretching out her arms for the mother-in-law to measure. Hearing that Mu Yan was willing to be measured, he was relieved and smiled.
Liu Momo covered her face and smiled: "Our young master, he was very similar to his grandfather Lao Hou when he was young, but now he has a stern face, and he looks more serious when he is serious. He was so cute when he was young, and he loved to laugh. He would quack when anyone teased him." Laughing. The old master likes him the most. When he came back from outside, he would come to hug him, hold him high above his head, and listen to him giggling. He said that he could eat an extra bowl of rice when he heard the young master smile."
Cheng Shi also laughed, "I followed behind, careful not to let him laugh out loud."
"Not really."
After the master and servant finished laughing, Cheng's face darkened.
Seeing this, Nanny Liu sighed and persuaded: "Ma'am, the young master is by your side now, which is better than anything else. He looks so good now. You should be happy."
Ms. Cheng squeezed out a smile and nodded: "I'm happy, I'm happy. Mother, please go ahead and make a few more clothes for Yan'er, some bright ones. He thinks I made them, so he should know how to wear them."
"Oh, good. I would like to see him wearing bright clothes, blue, black and gray all day long. He looks lifeless at first glance. He is not good at taking care of people. Madam, look, do you want to send him away?" How many maidservants are there?"
Cheng paused, then shook his head, "It still doesn't work. He's used to being taken care of from one to the other, so he sent the maid over there, so there's no need to make him unhappy."
Nanny Liu had no choice but to give up and talk to Mrs. Cheng about giving gifts at the post-sealing ceremony.
In the study room, Mu Yan stretched out her arms impatiently, being manipulated by others, and finally measured the size. The wives asked him to choose the color of clothes, he waved his hands impatiently: "Follow Madam."
The servants retreat respectfully.
Mu Yan spread out on the chair.
After a while, Mu Kun came to report: "Received a report from Yunnan, Lord Hou placed Geng Qi's family in Yangcheng Castle in Jinning Prefecture, and sent officers and soldiers to protect them properly."
Mu Yan shook his fist.
Long Jiu: "Let the people we stay in Yunnan keep an eye on."
"yes."
After listening to Mu Kun's report on some situations, he waved people to leave.
Li Yikan and the two looked at each other with solemn expressions: "Young master, Yunnan has many eyes and ears now, even if Hou Ye hides people, I'm afraid they won't be able to escape the investigation of..." Li Yi pointed upwards.
Kan Er glanced at Mu Yan worriedly. Master Hou did not expect the situation of the young master in the capital by doing this.
Seeing the young master with a cold face, he comforted him dryly: "This should have been ordered by Mrs. Tai. Mrs. Tai and her natal family have always been close. Now that uncle and grandpa have hanged themselves, Geng Qi took his family to seek refuge with Mrs. Tai, an aunt. Ignore it..."
Mu Yan's eyes are distant.
Hou Gengwen of Changxing is the elder brother of his grandmother Mrs. Geng Tai, and a hero who founded the Wei Dynasty. But the only ones who are loyal are Taizu and the first emperor.
Now that the new emperor ascended the throne, Marquis Changxing hanged himself and died. His son Geng Qi took his family and went to Yunnan to join the Mu family.
"Your Majesty probably doesn't want to kill them all, otherwise Geng Qi's family will not be able to escape to Yunnan." Li Yi wanted to comfort him, but seeing the young master's face was cold and silent, he didn't say any more.
Mu Yan agreed with Li Yi's words, if the new emperor wanted to kill Geng's family, Geng Qi might not even be able to get out of the capital.
His grandfather was the adopted son of Taizu, and he had a deep relationship with Empress Gao and Prince Yiwen. Empress Gao collapsed and his grandfather vomited blood. Prince Yiwen died of illness.
Prince Yiwen died of illness, and the throne passed to Emperor Jianwen.
His own father, who grew up in the capital, played with Emperor Jianwen from childhood to adulthood, and was Emperor Jianwen's playmate. After his stepfather left, the title of Marquis was not passed on to him, and Emperor Jianwen passed the title of Marquis of Xiping to his own father.
Now Xiping Hou Mu's family, in the eyes of outsiders, are all on the side of Prince Yiwen and the late emperor. It hasn't been long since the new emperor ascended the throne, and he has frequently dispatched troops and generals to carry out military deployments against Yunnan and the entire southwest.
First, the King of Min was sent back to Yunnan to become a fan. In the southwest frontier, the Mu family was first asked to quell the chaos in the southwest, and then the clan and princes were sent to make Yunnan a feudal country.
The next month after he ascended the throne, he also ordered Zheng Xiang, the governor of the right army, to guard Yunnan. In a few days, Yuan Yu, the governor of the left, was ordered to go to Sichuan and Yunnan to clean up the military equipment, saying that it was "to appease the army and the people, and to wait for the border to be peaceful" to guard Yunnan.
Last month, Cao Long was appointed as the commander of the Yunnan capital, and Wang Chuo, Fang Jing, Wang Zheng, and Liu Jian were appointed as the commanders of the Yunnan capital; soon after, Shunchang Bo Wang Zuo was appointed to Yunnan, saying that he was helping Xiping Hou Musheng to manage Yunnan. .
Not only that, but the new emperor also ordered Gu Cheng, Marquis of Zhenyuan, to go to Guizhou to rectify his armaments; he ordered Han Guanpei, the governor of the right army, to take charge of the general seal of the southern general, and to go to Guangxi to rectify his armaments as the commander-in-chief, and to control the two capitals of Guangxi and Guangdong.
Before this, Yunnan and even the entire Southwest were peaceful.
The new emperor moved frequently. First, he had just ascended the throne and wanted to consolidate his throne. Second, he was obviously in Shiwei Yunnan. To put it bluntly, they were monitoring the Mu family who held power over Yunnan's military, government and people's livelihood.
I hate that his dear father still can't see the situation clearly.
When the new emperor ascended the throne, not only did he not send anyone to congratulate him, nor did he come to give gifts, he also accepted the Geng family. Not to mention hiding people, but also sending troops to protect them.
In Yunnan, who would dare to harm the people under the care of Xipinghou? They also sent special troops to protect them. Who are they defending against?
Mu Yan's face was as cold as ice, and he looked at Li Yikan Er: "The queen's ceremony is going to be a gift to the palace, you two go and choose it carefully."
"Madam's side..." Kan Er wanted to say that Madam's side should be prepared, but Mu Yan gave him a cold look, and replied: "Yes."
He Li retreated.
After the two left, Mu Yan slumped on the chair and sighed.
The new emperor dispatched troops to the southwest, and the Mu family of Xipinghou might have been feared by the new emperor.
If his grandfather and stepfather were still there, the crisis would definitely be alleviated. But his own father was not good at wielding knives and guns. He was good at reading since he was a child, and because he liked reading, he was liked by Taizu.
Now the entire Mu family is in dire straits, and his father is not yet capable of turning the tide.
Most of the resources in the hands of his grandfather and stepfather went to his father.
Mu Yan didn't know what to do. If he was a few years older...
Sitting on the chair blankly, his eyes are far away.
On Huo Xi's side, the atmosphere was harmonious.
The Huo family invited everyone to have a meal at the Guazhou Wharf, and Huo Xi also invited a few good friends to have a good meal, and spent the night near the Guazhou Wharf.
Depart before dawn the next day.
Waiting for the box, running all the way, finally returned to the boundary of the capital before the sunset of the ninth day.
