Mu Tianbo sent an edict to the court. Let’s not talk about Hou Xuanyan’s reaction, but first scared the civil and military officials in Yunnan.

The Regent's military power spread all over the world, just a province in Yunnan, how could he defeat nearly one million Northern Expedition Army?

Not all the officials in Yunnan were monotonous. Peng Zhuze made a big fuss in the southwest, and all the chieftains in Yunnan were withdrawn. All the new officials came from Hou Xuanyan's disciples. Who would rebel with Mu Tianbo?

This is a rank-level official who fought for death, and his last blow on the eve of Hou Xuanyan's ascending throne, although it was not lethal at all.

Mu Tianbo, who was holding his will, squatted in the mansion to plan, waiting for Hou Xuanyan to show his fangs and send troops to Yunnan, he would lead the crowd to resist.

Half a month passed like this, and there was no movement in Jinling, and the memorial seemed to have disappeared.

At the Duke of Qian's mansion, Mu Tianbo's expression was dim. He had just received a reply from the Guizhou governor Zhang Yang. In the letter, the other party praised Hou Xuan's morality, and wrote thousands of words about the regent pacifying the four major thieves at the junction of Sichuan and Guizhou, and returned a peace to Guizhou and Sichuan. He also persuaded Mu Tianbo to change his mind and take the initiative to apologize to Jinling, and take back his previous disrespectful words.

With a crisp bang, the porcelain cup at the top broke all over the floor, and the servants around him lowered their heads and didn't dare to say a word.

Mu Tianbo tore the letter apart, stood up angrily, stared at him for a while, and then sat on the chair, his face as if dead.

The Ming Dynasty has reached the present day, perhaps even more desperate than the Qing Dynasty went south. Although the Manchus are stronger, there are still countless patriots rising up. Now, no one dares to oppose Hou Xuan in the whole court, so wouldn’t he let him usurp the throne easily? Thinking of this, Mu Tianbo’s young face was exhausted and helpless.

He inherited the Duke of Qian at the age of ten and served as General Zhengnan for twenty-two years. The ancestor of the Mu family has been with the country for generations and is loyal to the old Zhu family and Daming. Mu Tianbo also grew up in this kind of teaching.

A servant quietly retreated, walked quickly to the inner courtyard, and informed Mu Tianbo's mother about what happened here.

After a while, Mu Tianbo's mother, Chen, hurried over with her daughter-in-law Jiao. Mrs. Mu was in her fifties. Because she was well maintained, she still looked charming. She was also a beautiful beauty when she was young.

Mu Tianbo is a filial son. He became a Duke at the age of ten. His mother taught him all the big and small matters, and he respected his mother especially. Although he was in a very bad mood, he still stood up and bent down and said, "Mother, why are you here?"

"If I don't come, you will destroy all the foundation of our Mu family for a hundred years." Mrs. Mu scolded with a cold face.

Mu Tianbo's expression changed suddenly. Although he respected his mother very much, he was not happy when he heard this.

Jiao said, "Husband, listen to your mother's words. Zhongxian and Zhongliang are still young, so give them a chance to survive."

"Shut up!" Mu Tianbo did not dare to argue with his mother, but he still dared to scold his wife, and cursed with a blushing face and almost roaring.

"Okay, you have grown up your ability and know how to scold your wife. Is it a disaster for us two women in the eyes of your Duke of Qian? Do you want us to die before you can spare the lives of this family?"

Seeing that his mother was so angry, she was filled with tears on her face, and she panicked. "Mom, what are you talking about? It's a shame to your son. My son is not that ignorant jackal, so how dare you scold his own mother."

Mu Tianbo's daughter beside her hugged her two younger brothers, lowered her eyebrows and cried, and kept sobbing.

Mu Zhongxian raised his face and shouted, "Grandma, mom, dad did it right, Zhongxian is not afraid!"

Mu Zhongliang also followed his brother to shout, "Yes, I'm not afraid!"

Mu Tianbo was very relieved. His two sons were worthy of being the seed of the Mu family, but they became even more embarrassed afterwards. Is his son so sensible, but he wants to die with him?

Mrs. Mu became even more angry, with a few crow's feet folded from the corners of her eyes, and scolded, "Xuan'er, why are you bringing your brother back to the yard? Why are you causing trouble here?"

The daughter of the Mu family who had wiped tears before, Mu Tianbo's daughter was not the daughter of Jiao, but was born to Mu Tianbo and the pretty maid in the mansion. She had never had any status. When she heard her grandmother's scolding, she didn't even dare to cry and pulled her two younger brothers out.

Although Mu Xianzhong was only twelve years old and his sister was already fourteen, she was a boy after all. He broke free from her sister, pushed her to the ground, ran to Mu Tianbo, and shouted, "I won't leave, I will fight for the Ming Dynasty with my father."

Mrs. Mu and Jiao's eyes turned dark, and the five-year-old Mu Zhongliang also ran over and chose to stand with his father and brother.

While Mu Tianbo was proud, he sighed in his heart. These two children were their own flesh and blood. It would be fine if they were killed, but they also let them die together. Mu Tianbo felt a little hesitant. This is how people are. When doing big things, they often rely on their temporary blood to write memorials to curse Hou Xuanyan. Only after the incident will they think of their own fate and their family's safety.

Seeing that his son's face changed, the mother and son immediately understood his thoughts, and couldn't help but feel happy and persuaded him softly, "Son, the Regent, the country is a hero who has not seen for hundreds of years. What are our abilities to fight against him? I think you might have driven out when the Tartars went south. The Ming Dynasty was over long ago, let alone before the throne was usurped, you hurriedly wrote a letter to insult him. What is this not the way to die? Do you also know your own weight and begging for death to exchange for your reputation?

If reputation is really so important to you, you should make up your mind to take the lives of our tribe and exchange the reputation of your loyal ministers in the previous dynasty."

Mu Tianbo was so ashamed that he held his son and cried silently.

-----

Jinling did not have any actions regarding Mu Mansion in Yunnan.

Hou Xuanyan secretly mobilized Sichuan soldiers and placed them on the ground of Sichuan and Guizhou, saying that he was guarding against the barbarians, actually had already controlled Yunnan. He had this confidence that no one would follow Mu Tianbo to rebel. Zhu Ming has experienced these years of incompetence and decay. How many people like Mu Tianbo can be left?

The most important thing is that under the modulation of Hou Xuanyan, the entire Ming Dynasty is pursuing profits and accumulating capital. The emerging class has risen rapidly. These people are loyal fans of Hou Xuanyan, and no one can shake his foundation in the Ming Dynasty.

Now Hou Xuanyan has no time to deal with this matter. Mu Tianbo is a loyal minister and he respects such a person very much. So Hou Xuanyan decided to give him a chance, but this opportunity has a deadline.

Otherwise, why do you need to use your weapons? Who in Yunnan dares to take the sword and follow the Mu Mansion and become enemies with him?
