The white clouds are lingering, the wind is light and the clouds are calm by the Dianchi Lake in the western suburbs of the city. Wu Zhaoyuan and the officials in Kunming City are very busy. Just after the war, there are too many things to deal with in the city. It just so happens that the guards of the East Factory are also in the city and they must perform well.
, don’t dare to be careless at all.
As the anchor of the city of Kunming, Mu Tianbo has no time to put down his pretense of being a Duke and does everything by hand. Whether it is handling civil or military affairs, he only wants to leave a good impression on Chang Yu. He is professional, people-friendly, and capable!
After noon, Tu Yuan, Ji Jike and Hao Yaoqi appeared on the top of the city and stood outside Gaoguan City. Seeing the breathtaking defensive terrain of Kunming Turtle City, they thought to themselves that the terrain was so easy to defend but difficult to attack. How could Mu Tianbo easily let Wan's gang
The chieftain soldiers almost broke through, which is really incomprehensible.
"The Mu family has declined!" Ji Jike sighed, and Hao Yaoqi frowned: "Has it declined? It looks like it is still very rich, probably richer than the prince in Qingzhou Prefecture." Tu Yuan rolled his eyes at him: "Where are you?
Ah, the Mu family is getting richer and richer, but their abilities are becoming more and more ordinary. What you and Lao Ji are talking about are not the same thing at all."
Hao Yaoqi said oh, and then stretched out: "Didn't the young governor say that skills must be honed in actual combat? His ancestors followed Emperor Taizu in the north and south to conquer the world. Of course, he is very capable, but this Mu family
The boy has only been practicing Taoism for a few days, and he has only fought a few battles. Fortunately, the chieftain rebels he encountered this time, if Zhang Xianzhong's men came to attack the city, they would probably be defeated in one day."
"What you said is true." Ji Jike chuckled and said, "But you should take care of that bad mouth. You can tell the children of the Mu family. If it accidentally reaches his ears, you will suffer.
”.
Moreover, Hao Yaoqi curled his lips: "I'm still afraid of him? If we hadn't arrived in time, he would be... humph, what's wrong with him?" Tu Yuan couldn't listen anymore and interrupted him directly: "
Your bad mouth will cause trouble sooner or later. You are not afraid of him, but are you afraid of the Governor? Even he is very respectful to Mu Tianbo. It would be weird if he didn't slap you when he heard your nonsense."
Hao Yaoqi touched his head and looked a little embarrassed: "Mu Tianbo almost caused chaos in Yunnan by resisting orders and disobeying orders. It's okay if the governor doesn't deal with him, but he still praises him. I don't know why?" Chang Yu often gave them advice on the way here.
When talking about Mu Tianbo, you should be very respectful in your words.
"After the founding of the country, the Mu family was also the anchor of Yunnan. Moreover, the governor said that although Mu Tianbo was not very capable, he was loyal to the court. Based on this, he had no choice but to respect him." Ji Jike looked towards Cheng
Outside the chieftain's barracks, he supported the wall and said slowly, Hao Yaoqi couldn't help but sneer: "But if you are loyal, how can you disobey the imperial edict?"
"You have to ask Duke Mu about this," Tu Yuan said with a smile, "Maybe some people are always eager to prove something."
Hao Yaoqi touched his head and looked at the chieftain's barracks outside the city. He suddenly turned to Tu Yuan and said, "Why the hell do I think you are talking about me?" Tu Yuan was startled, and Ji Jike couldn't help laughing, causing the next person to laugh.
The officers and soldiers and the chieftain soldiers below the city looked sideways.
Long Zaitian and other chieftain coalition forces have returned to Kunming one after another. There are roughly 50,000 of them. After all, there are six or seven chieftain coalition forces. Most of them are from the southwest of Kunming. Each chieftain can send troops ranging from a thousand to two thousand. These tens of thousands of coalition forces plus
No wonder thousands of officers and soldiers were able to beat Wu Bikui back to his home base in a very short period of time.
The chieftains could not enter the city at will without orders. Even their chieftains Long Zaitian, Lu Yongming and others could not enter the city at will. They left the city and returned to camp early in the morning after attending the banquet at Prince Mu's Mansion. They were not allowed to enter the city without orders. Everyone knows the reason.
.
Lu Yongming was a relatively strong chief among the chieftains, and he was very loyal to Prince Mu's palace and followed his lead. This time, Wu Bikui mobilized more troops and sent out more troops quickly to suppress the rebellion. He also contributed a lot, but now he
I felt a little depressed and looked extremely embarrassed, because I had just received the news, and Chang Yu had really told me that the Wan family had broken off their troops and returned to Mongolia. They passed through Ningzhou and plundered wantonly, and even tried to attack Lu Yongming's main stronghold. Fortunately,
His younger brother Ji Ling heard the news that there was a rebel route and immediately entered a defensive state. Wan's rush was in vain. He did not dare to stay longer and ran away in a hurry. However, he also ravaged Lu Yongming's territory, causing him heavy losses.
.
"I swear I won't be a human unless I kill this witch!" Lu Yongming shouted angrily in the camp, while Long Zaitian and others kept comforting him: "It won't take a few days to kill Mengzi to avenge his hatred and ask him to double the compensation. Anyway, that Dongchang
The great eunuchs all promised..." Wang Zuyang also joked: "One day, when Mengzi conquers the territory of Shadingzhou, Brother Lu will take over the Wan family."
Everyone laughed, and Lu Yongming let out a sigh: "I don't have the same taste as Sha Dingzhou. That witch is just trying to climb up, but I don't want it either!"
"Brother Lu doesn't want her to climb on the shelf, but what if she climbs on Brother Lu's bed?" Diao Xun also joked, and all the men with bad taste laughed.
It was getting dark, and Chang Yu returned to the city, only to find that the clear soup noodles in Muwangfu were no longer as lively as yesterday. There were no seats or banquets, and even Mu Tianbo hadn't returned home yet. When he asked Ruan Chengqi, he said he was busy outside. He had gone out before noon until now.
None came back.
Chang Yu smiled and said nothing, and returned to the other courtyard to have a simple meal with his attendants, and then chatted with Li Muchian for a while before washing up and going to bed. It was a rare opportunity to go to bed early, but he slept extremely sweetly. Mu Tianbo returned home at midnight, and arrived.
The other courtyard came to Chang Yu to discuss something, but was told by the guard guarding the gate: The Governor left a message, he was tired and needed to rest, and he would talk about anything tomorrow.
Mu Tianbo actually has nothing to discuss with Chang Yu. He said everything that should be said and discussed last night. He came here so late just to show off. You see how busy I am and how responsible I am. I have been busy until now.
just came back……
Who knew that the little eunuch didn't give him a chance at all and went to bed so early. Was he really tired and sleepy?
Maybe so. After all, I ran all the way from Beijing to here. I didn't get a good night's sleep for more than a month. There was a fight when I got there. I only slept for one afternoon yesterday. I heard that I didn't sleep after that. Early in the morning
So I went out to the city for a private visit incognito.
But Mu Tianbo can't sleep yet. Although the siege of Kunming City has been relieved, Wu Bikui and Sha Dingzhou have not completely solved the problem. More importantly, once these problems are solved, he will face a more serious problem.
How does the court punish yourself?
So he summoned Zhou Ding, Ruan Chenglin, and Ruan Chengfeng to secretly discuss countermeasures. Now he finally knew who was the most trustworthy person and who was the most loyal to the Mu family. At this time, he had regarded the three of them as confidants.
"Right now, Wu Bikui and Sha Dingzhou have not been completely pacified, especially there may still be big trouble in Sha Dingzhou. As long as the Duke of Guo succeeds in quelling the rebellion of these two people, maybe the matter of resisting the edict will be over. You
Didn't I say that... the Governor also agrees that there is no way to accept the orders of the foreign king? It is not a big crime if the Duke adapts to the current situation even if it goes against the will, unless..." Ruan Chengqi frowned.
.
"Unless what?" Mu Tianbo asked quickly.
"Unless...the Governor is deliberately making things difficult!" Ruan Chengqi expressed his worries, Mu Tianbo shook his head: "Seeing that his words and deeds are not like that kind of person, although he is a bit unpredictable, he is also open and honest, not sinister.
I have no old grudges with him..."
"My lord," Ruan Chengfeng interrupted Mu Tianbo: "If you're not afraid, he'll target you. I'm afraid he'll target Prince Mu's palace!"
Mu Tianbo was startled, and his face became serious.
