Duke Qian called Huo Xi to the study and looked at her quietly.
It has to be said that the eldest daughter of the British father is really outstanding, dignified, calm in situations, proficient in common affairs, and really capable. And the husband and wife are harmonious, which is extremely rare.
But, have the couple taken a step too far?
"Did Mu Yan already know about the Pingzhao Udai incident? Or was he involved in it?" Mu Yan hid such a big thing from him and didn't let the slightest word out, which made the Duke of Guizhou a little unhappy.
Huo Xi didn't give in to him and nodded, "Yes, of course he knew about it. And he was the one who submitted the evidence to the emperor."
"What?" Duke Qian was a little surprised. Could it be that Yan'er brought back some secret decree when he returned to Yunnan? What did the emperor secretly order him?
Seeing the change in Duke Qian's eyes, Huo Xi more or less guessed what he was thinking. She felt a little sad for Mu Yan.
Although Mu Yan looked indifferent to Duke Qian on the face, he actually respected and loved him very much in his heart. He refused to call him uncle because he had this father in his heart and even refused to speak on his face.
Although the Duke of Guizhou was very tolerant of Mu Yan and wanted to make up for it as much as possible, the father and son had been separated for many years, and they lost closeness and trust.
"Mu Yan's surname is Mu," Huo Xi interrupted the Duke of Guizhou's thoughts.
"He never forgets the teachings of his grandfather and successor. He always puts his family first and will not do anything detrimental to the family. He has the king of heaven and earth in his heart, but first of all, his surname is Mu, and the blood of the Mu family flows through him."
The Duke of Guizhou was a little uncomfortable on his face, but he refused to show it at all. He nodded slightly and said yes to Huo Xi.
Huo Xi then said: "His surname is Mu, so naturally he hopes that the land protected by the Mu family will be peaceful and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. He is also willing to turn a blind eye to many things, but Uday provoked him first.
"
"Years ago, you sent him to various guard posts to work for the army. I'm afraid you didn't know that he was intercepted and killed on the road."
The Duke of Guizhou was shocked, "Yan'er was intercepted and killed? Who did it?" He sat up straight, and then he realized, "It was Uday? But why did he intercept and kill Yan'er?"
Huo Xi lowered his eyes and sighed secretly.
"Uday is Mu Zhan's father-in-law. The evidence that your husband presented to you before should include the letters between Uday and Aunt Jun. Uday wants to clear the way for his son-in-law, and the reason is sufficient."
The Duke of Guizhou remained silent. Stabilizing Yunnan was important, but if Udai wanted to assassinate his heirs, he would not tolerate it.
After asking a few more questions, Huo Xi was allowed to leave.
Udai's attack was related to the stability of Pingzhao and the surrounding prefectures and counties. Qian Guo Gonglian sent people to inquire about it, and sent his trusted aides to Pingzhao to meet with the prince to understand the situation. He also sent letters to the commanders of various military posts,
Ask them to be on guard.
The news quickly spread back...
The subordinate who inquired about the news reported back: "The express decree only asked Udai to attack and appoint someone else, but Uday threw away the imperial edict on the spot and made rude remarks. He also wanted to hunt down the messenger and the prince, but he was captured on the spot. At the same time, it was announced
The emperor's secret decree was, 'If there is resistance, the family property will be confiscated and taken to Kuncheng for trial.' But that day, Udai entangled thousands of soldiers from the Tusi Mansion and fought with the crown prince and the others. The crown prince quickly mobilized troops from the nearby guard station and fought fiercely for several hours.
, have captured them all.”
"How many casualties were there?"
"Two hundred and twelve people died on Uday's side, and fifty-six casualties on our side."
Idiot. The Duke of Guizhou cursed secretly, leaving the country without fear of running out of firewood, but the guards and guards were fighting fiercely. This meant that the situation was over and there was no room for change.
"Pass my order and order the guards near Pingzhao to listen to the prince's orders and maintain the stability of Pingzhao and the surrounding areas. If any chieftain takes advantage of this to rebel, the other guards will quickly lead troops to reinforce."
"yes."
In Shuixin'an, Mr. Yu was knocking on wooden fish and doing morning lessons. After half an hour, the sound of wooden fish stopped.
The nun who was standing by the side stepped forward to serve her and reported to her: "Aunt Jun is coming. According to the prince's instructions, our people did not stop her."
Mrs. Yu hummed softly, "Since the Crown Prince is letting him go, we won't have to worry about it."
The nun washed her hands after her, helped her sit down, and looked at her with admiration, "The prince is really better than the old master, and can do more than the late Marquis! I never dreamed that everyone in Kuncheng would say 'Mrs. Duke of the State'.
', Aunt Jun, who was so famous outside, was sent to the nunnery by the prince one day."
Aunt Jun, who had been operating in Kuncheng for more than 20 years, was defeated by the prince one day.
Mrs. Yu smiled slightly, "He is more ruthless than his heir." The late Marquis thought a lot about things, but her heir seemed to be more decisive.
"You should be ruthless when dealing with people like Aunt Jun. If you are not ruthless, you will be pressured by her." The grandma only felt very happy.
"No, if the east wind cannot suppress the west wind, it will be suppressed by the west wind." Yu said lightly.
"Since the Crown Prince has put the person under my nose, I can't look down on him. I ordered him to keep an eye on him everywhere to prevent any trouble."
"Yes. I will give you the instructions now."
But when Aunt Jun saw the visitor and heard what he said, she felt bad.
Just a few days after arriving, before she could figure out how to cry and complain in front of the Duke, she heard that her parents' family had been separated, and Ruoxu took her eldest son and mother back to the Central Plains!
He never even came to report to her, nor did he see her once. Before her mother left, she didn't even let her go back to see her. Once she left, she was afraid that she would never see her again.
She hadn't finished digesting the news, and was about to send someone to recover their group, but before she could take action, something happened again on Uday's side.
Actually going to attack!
Uday went to attack, so what else does she have to rely on?
At first, I chose the eldest daughter of Chieftain Wuzhi after much selection. I wanted to rely on my family's influence in Pingzhao and Dian to give Zhan'er some help, but she was actually attacked!
Mu Yan, a scoundrel, has repeatedly ruined her good deeds! She will not let him have an easy time! If you are lucky enough to die once, you can never get lucky again.
And wait.
In the commander's tent, Mu Yan was looking through Uday's personal network and Ping Zhao's various information.
The imperial court removed Udai's successor, but did not remove the hereditary position of the Wushi family. Wuxi, the youngest son of Udai's grandfather, was appointed as the new chieftain of the Wushi family. Wuxi is a refined and benevolent person, and likes Han culture. I wonder if it is because of this reason.
Let the emperor choose him.
"Your Majesty, I would like to see you in Wuxi."
"Invite him in."
After a while, Wu Xi came in and bowed deeply to Mu Yan. Mu Yan hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "Chief Wu, please don't do such a big gift. It makes me look young and frivolous."
Wu Xi smiled and said: "Xishen thanks the Crown Prince for his recommendation and has nothing to repay. The Crown Prince deserves this great gift."
"I didn't do anything. Everything is the emperor's judgment."
"If there is no recommendation from the prince, how will the emperor, who lives deep in the inner courtyard of the palace, know that there is a person like me?" Wu Xi bowed again, "I never thought that one day I would be able to take over the position of chieftain of the Wushi family. I am very scared.
