Fight the Giants

  Chapter 693 Planning

  Yunnan, Guizhou State Mansion.

  The news came from the capital that Mu Yan was named the crown prince, and the Jun family smashed everything that could be broken in the house.

   "Bitch!"

   Cursed and vented in the room.

  Mu Sheng came to comfort him, but it didn't work, so he ran away with a headache.

  His eldest son, Mu Yan, was adopted to his eldest brother. He thought that he would be begging for food in his son's hands for the rest of his life. How could he know that his eldest brother had passed away long ago, and the late emperor made him a noble.

  He is a good reader, but he was put in a high position and had to learn how to be a marquis.

   Originally thought that the title had been passed on to the second wife, seeing that the adopted eldest son grew up and became better and better, and wondered whether to adopt him back. Anyway, the father is gone, the eldest brother is gone, and he has the final say in the family and the family?

  But Jun disagreed. The clan also disagrees. It is said that he has a son under his knees, do he want to watch his elder brother's incense die?

  He had to forget it.

   Asked the emperor to seal Mu Zhan as his son several times, but was always suppressed. Mu Sheng didn't care. Anyway, he is in the prime of his life, so let's talk about the future.

  How did he know that the emperor suddenly gave the position of son to Mu Yan.

  Mu Sheng was stunned for a long time before accepting the reality. Anyway, no matter Yan'er or Zhan'er, aren't they all in his blood?

  Thinking of the Cheng family who was thrown by him in the ancestral house in the capital, he felt that Yan'er was made up as the eldest son, which could still make up for her. But Jun's quit.

  It's not that he doesn't know Junshi and Zhan'er's thoughts, but... this is the emperor's intention, what can he do?

   Mu Sheng ran to drink with Mu Ang with a headache.

   "Tell me, who should take this title? Could it be that Yan'er has become, what can happen to other people? Or can Yan'er go back to Yunnan? Even if he wants to go back, the emperor won't let him go back."

  The Jun family is not comfortable being her Duke's wife in Yunnan, the family dominates, and Zhan'er is not the young master of his Duke's mansion?

What's the difference?

  Mu Ang felt that this second brother might have studied too many books in the early years, and his mind was too simple.

  This is the super-grade duke title, whoever inherits it can be the same?

   "Second brother thinks the same?"

"It's not the same? What's the difference? It's just a son. I guess I can be the Duke of the Kingdom for another 20 or 30 years." Mu Sheng thinks his body is great, and he will be the Duke of the Kingdom for another 20 or 30 years. No problem at all.

   So, what's the difference? It's all about conferring a son, isn't everyone living their own lives?

   "Second brother thinks it's the same."

   Mu Ang poured him a glass of wine, "However, Wuzhi married his daughter to Mu Zhan for the title of title. The second brother must know."

  Yunnan is a place where barbarians live together. As early as the Wu Dynasty, after the establishment of Yunnan Province, the Xuanwei Division, Xuanfu Division, and Appease Division were established in this area, using local indigenous leaders to govern the local natives.

  In the current dynasty, Taizu still followed the system of the previous dynasty and used chieftains to govern the local natives.

   Added officials such as Tuzhifu, Tuzhizhou, Tuzhi Garrison, and Tujian inspectors, and made a series of regulations on the decoration, assessment, tribute, and recruitment of native officials, thus forming a complete system of chieftains.

  After more than 100 years of development in the two dynasties, Yunnan's economic development is still uneven.

  Many places are still in the late stage of the primitive society of lordship, "hunting as a service" and "slash-and-burn farming". The royal family has always adopted special management methods for this place, implementing the chieftain system, and using barbarians to control barbarians.

  But in fact, there were constant conflicts between the chieftains, among the chieftains, and between the chieftains and the Ming court. There are constant contradictions and struggles between the chieftains and among the chieftains because of vendettas, land and raids, or thinking about separatist regimes.

  Even if the Taizu sent Mu Ying over to guard him, after the efforts of three generations of the Mu family, he would not dare to say that a small success would be achieved.

  At ordinary times, I still need to contact the various chieftains and establish various relationships with them. This is actually not easy.

  Mu Zhan’s wife, Wushi, is the largest of the 332 Tusi families in Yunnan, belonging to the Wumeng Tusi House.

  The Mu Mansion wants to govern Yunnan, and they want to make friends with the chieftains, and they also want to make good friends with the imperial court, so as to avoid being annexed by the chieftains.

  Wu family saw that Mu Zhan was going to become a prince in the future, so he took a step ahead and married his daughter into the Mu family, thinking of getting a share in the future. I don't think so, the son has changed.

  Is there no idea in Wu Shi's mind?

   Mu Ang was a little worried.

  Mu Yan stayed behind in the capital as a hostage, and the important task of contacting the chieftains in Yunnan was handed over to Mu Zhan. But if he is not the son of the prince, but just an ordinary young master in the Duke's Mansion, he may not play a big role.

   "Second brother, since Mu Yan has become the eldest son, do you want to call him back?"

   Let Mu Yan return to Yunnan earlier to familiarize himself with the affairs of all parties, and it will also be convenient for him to take power in the future.

   "I'm afraid the emperor won't let him go."

  And if Mu Yan comes back, I'm afraid there will be a dispute.

  It's not that Mu Sheng doesn't know what Jun Shi and Mu Zhan are thinking. Originally, Mu Yan had no hope of succeeding to the throne, even if the Jun family and her family made some small moves, he just pretended not to see them.

   But now, are his two sons going to kill each other?

  He only has three sons. As far as this matter is concerned, his father gave birth to four sons. How come there are no such things? It seems that he is not as good as his father.

   "Mu Yan, it's better to stay in the capital. Our family still needs someone in the capital." The Mu family guards one side, and they can't get out of touch with the court.

   Mu Ang glanced at his second brother, but said nothing.

   These things make his second brother a headache, "Come on, second brother, let's drink."

  Mu Sheng didn't do anything, he felt that whoever came to the throne was his flesh and blood, but the Jun family was different. She has been planning for so many years, and her son can't become a prince, so in these years, has she made wedding dresses for others?

  First, he ordered someone to appease Mu Zhan, telling him to stay calm. It's still early for Mu Yan to seize the title, and everything can be planned slowly.

   Also known as Lai Bai and Jin.

  The Bai family and the Jin family are all concubines of Mu Sheng, and they are also the daughters of the local chieftain's family. They are also very powerful, but they are not as good as the Jun family.

   Moreover, they have only given birth to one daughter each these years, and they have no sons to accompany them, so they cannot compete with the Jun family.

   These years, the Jun family has gotten along fairly well.

   "I called you here today to ask you, what do you think about Mu Jing and Mu Jin's marriage?"

  Baishi and Jinshi looked at each other.

   "I don't have any ideas, everything is up to the Duke and Madam." Bai said respectfully.

  Jin thought for a while, and said: "I don't want Jing'er to marry into a high-ranking family or something. Find a quiet one. If you don't work hard, it will hurt people. Just marry it."

  "That's right, my concubine thinks the same way. It's better to marry by our side, so that we can still come and go frequently, and we won't miss seeing each other." Mrs. Bai agreed.

  Jun nodded, "Who dares to torture our daughter in a family like ours? Since you all have no objections, then I will discuss it with the Duke."

  Baishi and Jinshi opened their mouths, for fear that Junshi would use their daughter to fill Mu Zhan's future.

  But they couldn't make the decision, they were afraid of Jun's majesty, so they shut up. I'm going to go to the Duke's side to beg for mercy.
