Chapter 778 The way out
Everyone in the hall fell silent, if there were only one or two people, it would be fine, but so many people were like this, so we had to be a little cautious, after all, what they were doing was the rise and fall of the whole family.
"His Royal Highness only brought the Crown Princess with him this time. The so-called deep love will never last, and Hui Ji will be hurt..."
"Could it be that you still want to find another way out?"
The man shook his head and said: "I really hope that Your Highness will be as lucky as Donghai and live longer than Nanshan. If possible, I would like to lose my life to make up for the Lord. It's just God's will. There are more than hundreds of thousands of lives on our shoulders, so we have to make more preparations." .”
These words caused many people to nod slightly. No matter what the situation is, it is best not to put all eggs in one basket. They would rather not obtain the maximum benefit, but also ensure the most basic survival of the family.
Not daring to gamble, especially not daring to risk their lives to gamble, is the characteristic of their family. This characteristic has allowed them to survive to this day, but most of the time it also hinders their development.
It’s not that no one has seen it clearly and wants to fight it out, but the will of one person and two people can do nothing to the will of thousands of people. No matter how great the wealth is, it can be enjoyed by dozens of people, and the rest is just a name.
Most tribesmen will only be remembered when they are accused of crimes. In this way, they would rather be conservative than take risks.
"If it's an ordinary lord, why bother arguing, no one knows the truth of the cunning rabbit's three caves." The old man with a deer stick shook his head slightly and said: "Although I don't have the chance to meet the crown prince in person, I know that your highness is extremely smart, I'm afraid I will be found out that serving you is not sincere. Hiding two minds, it will be difficult for me to end in the end."
Another old man also said: "What's more, there is no other choice. Is it possible that you still want to count on King Jin and King Chu?"
The people below are silent, the political resources and potential of the other princes are too low, not to mention the feudal land now or in the future.
To put it bluntly, I am afraid that the princes are not as good as the grandson of the emperor who is still in his infancy. He is the serious son of the East Palace, the eldest grandson of the empress, and the heir of the Ming Dynasty. There are naturally a group of conservative officials in the court people.
"I only hope that your highness will have a long life, and that the emperor and grandson of the Eastern Palace will grow up vigorously. This is the blessing of my great Ming Dynasty, and it is also the great fortune for us to be members of the Eastern Palace." The prefect of Hangzhou stood up: "I heard that the prince ordered His Highness King Wu to preside over the compilation and research of the Imperial Hospital to help the world. The medical theory of saving the people, there is no shortage of medical books in the family, and there is no shortage of famous doctors in the south of the Yangtze River, so it should be sent to the capital for emergency needs."
Everyone could only nod after looking at each other. In fact, for the prince, having them was just icing on the cake and did not affect the status of the prince. But for them, without the protection of the prince, the family fell apart and was moved to a remote place. is almost inevitable.
The current emperor is very strict with the aristocratic family, they know it in their hearts, and many families have used the **** reality to warn them how lucky they were to be able to cling to the prince when he was patrolling the coast.
"The juniors in the clan must be well restrained, especially those who are officials. If they do something that insults the lintel, don't say that the law of the country is ruthless, even the clan will not tolerate it."
"The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is filling the building, and the torrent is gradually rising in the middle of the court. His Highness also has the intention to return to Beijing. We must hold on. Once the sea trade opens, the prosperity of our family is not far away."
As the last night's good family group with family power preserved, and occupying the industrial and commercial market in coastal areas, it must be able to share a large part of the interests of sea trade.
The prefect of Hangzhou is still on official business, and when he left, he just left a sentence: "Disasters come with blessings, and blessings come with misfortunes."

The former Prince Liang’s Mansion in Kunming, Yunnan Province has been changed to Pingxihou’s Mansion. As the former royal mansion, especially the guarding royal mansion far away from the capital, the regulations are naturally far superior to Mu Ying’s title.
Fortunately, Marquis Pingxi has a special status, and he also gave up most of it to be used as the official office, so no one went to impeachment. After all, being able to govern a province as a marquis shows the deep trust of the Holy One.
"Master Hou, there is some movement in Dali, do you want to transfer the army to prevent accidents?"
Mu Ying raised her head from the mountain pile of documents, shook her head tiredly and said, "With Yungong here, there won't be much trouble in Dali."
"Young Marshal Xu's abilities are clear to everyone under his command, but he is young after all, so it is better to be more cautious about frontier affairs."
After all, their family members are being transported here. The imperial court asked them to govern Yunnan, and distributed acres of mountains and forests according to their positions. Most of them will take root here for life.
"The adults sent by the imperial court are coming soon, so Lord Hou will be able to relax a bit."
Mu Ying fixed her mind and ordered: "Send another thousand riders to meet Si Yigong, the remnants of Liang Wang are rampant, so be careful."
After the pacification of Yunnan, there are many things to know. Although the Dali clan surrendered, especially Gao's attitude was very close, but he dared not easily appoint them in such an emergency.
The Liangwang family was broken up, but the strength of the Dali family remained intact. In addition to their deep roots, if they really turned their backs, at least half of Yunnan would be separated from Daming's control again.
Even if they can fight back, how many lives of soldiers will have to be paid, and what is the use of punishing those wolf-minded idiots in the end, it is their own power that loses.
He can only support it with all his strength and wait for the arrival of the imperial court's administrative team, but he can calmly arrange for the Gao family and other Yunnan Tu people to slowly integrate into the Ming system.
At this time Deng Zhen walked in and reported: "General, Annan's envoy has arrived. According to legend, the chief envoy is the Privy Council ambassador of Annan Kingdom Hu Jishang, the Marquis of Zhongxuan Kingdom."
Mu Ying's eyes flashed. Before Yunnan was settled, he had already received a secret letter from the prince, and he knew a little about Annan's situation. This envoy is not unusual.
It was no surprise that Annan sent envoys over. The change from a wolf to a tiger on the side of the couch made the dormitory uneasy, and they also saw the battle before and after. daunting.
"Lead them to sit in the hall."
Mu Ying ordered people to bring hot water, and prepared to meet Annan's envoy with a good attitude. Yunnan was established, and Annan was the next goal, not to mention that they took the opportunity to invade a lot of Yunnan's territory.
The attendants came down as promised and went to lead Annan's envoy into the hall. The envoy headed by him looked very young, handsome in appearance, full of bookishness, and very polite in speech.
After a while, Mu Ying came striding forward in military uniform. Annan's envoys hurriedly stood up to greet her, but their eyes were a little embarrassed. This is Ping Xihou's mansion, and they are not here to celebrate the court.
Ordinarily, it is easy to say whether it is a normal suit or something else, but this purposely changed into a military uniform that is not light and comfortable, which shows that the attitude is not very friendly.
"The ministers of foreign vassals pay homage to Lord Pingxi."
"Haha, no courtesy, no courtesy, I have heard the name of Zhongxuanhou for a long time, and I finally got to see you today, very lucky."
"Where is it, Ping Xihou's heroic appearance really makes me feel ashamed."
"Please sit down." Mu Yingdang took his seat first, and then Zhizhi invited them to take their seats one by one: "This Marquis followed the general to conquer Yunnan, and then he was entrusted with the command of the emperor to govern and live next to Annan. Please take care of him in the future."
Hu Jiyao humbly smiled and said: "I am the main sect of the Shang Kingdom, and I rely on the protection of Antai from the Great Ming Emperor. They are all members of my own family, and we should help each other."
Speaking after a pause, he said earnestly: "Although a certain person has low morals, he is only worthy of praise because he has a loyal heart. I have orders from Pingxi, so I will do my best and do my best!"
A look of astonishment flashed in Mu Ying's eyes. These words were not what a minister of a foreign vassal should say.
Mu Ying said tentatively: "I have remembered the words of Marquis Zhongxuan. If the Holy Majesty and the Crown Prince hear about it, they will be delighted."
"It's my honor. I've prepared some Annan specialties here, and I hope the Lord Hou will pass them on to the Great Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
