Chapter 188: The Prince Goes to Beijing
"His dad, don't go to the capital if the child doesn't want to go to the capital." Seeing that his son ran away without anyone, Mrs. Mu then let go of her husband's hand, looking at Mu Shan's breathing and angry expression, she couldn't help but persuade her.
"What do you know!" Mu Shan glared at his old wife and sat back on the chair.
"Yes, yes, I am a woman and I came from the village, so I naturally don't know anything. But think about it, my son has been growing up in the village. He has been to the nearby county town at the farthest time, and he has never even been out of Yunnan. You ask him to go to the capital immediately, but no one will be happy if you change it." Mrs. Mu picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Mushan, and continued to persuade his man.
"He is used to wild in the mountains, and even the Han family's clothes are not used to wearing them. He naturally doesn't want to travel thousands of miles to the capital. Besides, even if you have any ideas, you should talk to your son. You don't know your son's temper. Is this the same person as you are a donkey?"
Although Mrs. Mu is an ordinary mountain woman, she is not a person who knows nothing. She knows a lot about her husband and persuades her kindly, Mu Shan’s anger is much smaller.
"I asked him to go to the capital for his own good and for our Mu family, but he was good. Not only did he not want to go, but he still..." Mu Shan raised his hand and pounded his thighs with a grudge and shook his head.
"His dad, this capital..." Mrs. Mu asked tentatively.
"Our Mu family is no longer the Mu family before. Although the emperor is so kind, he is so grateful to him because of the ancestors' grace." Mu Shan sighed first, and then said, "But I, Mu Shan, is not the ancestor of Duke Tianbo, and the current emperor is not the Emperor Yongli of the year. And today is not the Ming Dynasty. Although the court has returned the title because of the ancestors of the Mu family, the court's decree did not mention the Mu family in Yunnan at all. Instead, it mentioned that the emperor gave the Duke of Guizhou in the capital. Do you still understand the mystery?"
Mrs. Mu was stunned at first, then she said in confusion: "His dad, didn't our Mu family's Taizu and Chengzu have sent Yongzhen Yunnan?"
"It was back then, now it is now!" Mu Shan glared at his old woman.
He really didn't want to tell some things to his wife, but it wouldn't work if he didn't say them now. After all, it's a family, so some things must be explained in advance, so as not to cause trouble if the mountain people say the wrong words at that time.
With his voice down, Mu Shan said: "The current emperor is not an ordinary person, he is a hero like Taizu. The world was defeated by the emperor himself. Although our Mu family has made contributions to the country, it is also the time for the previous dynasty. Now the emperor has returned the title for the ancestors, so I am very grateful to my Mu family. As for the rest of it, how can I mention it?"
"Besides, now and not as good as the previous Ming Dynasty, the current Ming Dynasty's national strength is not something you can imagine. In this case, there is no need to consider whether the Mu family town or not is in Yunnan. The emperor's idea is the most important. At present, the emperor's meaning is clearly to let our Mu family live in the capital and not to stay in Yunnan."
"But his father, this is not familiar with the capital, and he is so far away..."
"No matter how far you go, you have to go! There is no bargaining. If you don't go, if the emperor thinks that my Mu family has any ideas, it will be a mess! Old woman, this is a big deal. If you don't do it well, don't talk about anything else. The glory and wealth in front of you may be gone. I won't say much about anything else, you know it in your heart."
Hearing this, Mrs. Mu was shocked and showed a sense of perseverance in her expression. Although she was only a mountain citizen, she was also a little knowledgeable as a child of a leader. Besides, she has become the wife of Duke Qian and was awarded the title of first-rank lady, which she could not have imagined before.
Not to mention the others, the big house I live in now is much more spacious and comfortable than in a mountain village. There are also silk, satin, gold, silver and jewelry on their bodies, and there are also servants and servants serving them on weekdays, which are like dreams.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. Although her identity has only been changed for a few months or two, after all this, after letting her return to her past life and live such a hard life, Mrs. Mu would definitely refuse to.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Mu nodded vigorously: "His father, you are right. This capital must go to. You must not lose the wealth you have obtained."
When Mushan heard his wife say this, he showed a look of relief and said, "So, I have been thinking about it these days before I figured out this arrangement. At present, the court still has war in Yunnan, and my Mu family needs to work in it to help the court completely pacify Yunnan. This is my Mu family's kindness to repay the court, and it is also a statement to the emperor."
"So, you and I have to stay in Yunnan for the time being. As for the boss, he is not the prince, so he doesn't need to set off immediately. But the second brother is different. At this time, he must be asked to go to the capital first. Only when the second brother goes to the capital will the court be completely relieved of my Mu family."
"Although that's the case, I'm worried that my second son will go to the capital and no one will take care of him. If something happens..." Mrs. Mu nodded first, then hesitated.
"I've thought about this a long time ago." Mu Shan said confidently: "I have already inquired about it. The court has an academy in the capital. The current rules have changed. If many noble children want to be promoted, they must study in it. Only after graduation can they be qualified. When the second son goes to the capital, they will be allowed to enter the school. On the one hand, someone can discipline them, and on the other hand, they can learn something from it. It is better than the current rush to rush around with their bravery. Third, there are many noble children in the college. I heard that the prince and several princes are also studying there. The second son goes to the college to make friends with each other, and it will be beneficial to my Mu family or himself."
"This is good, and it would be a lot more worry if he could do this." This was the first time Mrs. Mu knew about this, and immediately asked about the situation of the so-called Royal Academy. Although Mu Shan didn't know much, he had inquired carefully. After he finished telling the news, Mrs. Mu immediately raised his hands to agree.
"Then the second child is enough to go, why are you going to do it? They are all leaving, aren't we the only two of us staying?" Mrs. Mu was a little reluctant to leave when she thought Mu Shan asked Mu Linlin to go to the capital together before.
The eldest son has two sons and three daughters, among which the eldest son has long been married, and the two daughters have married. It’s okay for the eldest son to go to the capital in the future, and they will definitely take the eldest son’s family with them. Although the eldest son does not have the blessing of being the prince, as the eldest son of the contemporary Duke of Qian, it is naturally fine to share wealth and honor. This can be considered as a little compensation for the eldest son.
But what about the youngest daughter? As for the old man, the youngest one he likes most about his children. Mu Linlin is only thirteen years old this year and is not yet married. As a parent, of course she wants to keep her by her side. Besides, Mu Linlin is so young. Although she goes to the capital with her second brother, whether this unreliable second brother can take good care of her has made Mrs. Mu very worried.
"It's natural for me to let my younger sister go." Regarding this question, Mu Shan rejected the idea of his old wife leaving her younger daughter with her, and unswervingly wanted to send her daughter to the capital.
In fact, Mu Shan was thinking about another plan. He knew that the current emperor, that is, Zhu Yicheng, was not very old. Although his daughter was only thirteen years old, she was very beautiful. In addition, her character was cheerful and lively, many boys in the village liked her. What if she was sent to the capital and was attracted by the emperor?
If Mu Linlin entered the palace, wouldn’t the Mu family become a royal relative? In this way, the Mu family’s status will be completely stable. It would be even better if the emperor could give birth to a man and a half woman!
Of course, this is just a little calculation in Mu Shan's own mind, and such things cannot be said everywhere. Even his old wife can hide it from it.
First of all, there have always been rules for the emperor to marry a wife in the Ming Dynasty, which was set by his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang.
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, including the royal family, was chosen from ordinary families, in order to avoid excessive power of relatives. The Ming Dynasty is different from the previous Ming Dynasty, and Mu Shan is not sure whether to keep the current rules or not.
As for the others, Mushan is also a shameful person. If it is reported that the dignified Duke of Qian actually wants to offer his daughter and seek honor, it will be a huge blow to Duke of Qian's reputation. Moreover, Mushan is not sure whether the emperor can really fall in love with his daughter in the end. Once this matter is not done, wouldn't it become a big joke?
With Mrs. Mu's support, it is much easier to convince the second son. Mrs. Mu Chengnan is a child who respects his mother. Mrs. Mu first persuaded him kindly, then wiped his tears and said that he wanted his son to attend, especially after mentioning the court rules of Chengjue in the future, he finally convinced the son.
In fact, in addition to his mother's persuasion, Mu Chengnan really wanted to go to the curiosity of the so-called Royal Academy. He was originally good at martial arts, but he wanted to be a big hero since he was a child. When he heard that he could not only learn skills when he entered the Royal Academy, he could also directly join the army for internship, his heart was immediately ready to move.
In his opinion, as long as he can join the army, he will not be able to go to the capital. Moreover, afterwards, Mu Chengnan specially found the guards and officers of the Jinyi Guard who had been familiar with these days and asked about it. After learning that the matter of the Royal Academy was true, his previous resistance to going to the capital disappeared instantly, and instead he wanted to put wings on his wings and fly to the capital immediately.
Ten days later, the prince of Duke Qian, Mu Chengnan, and the young girl Mu Linlin were escorted by a team of guards on the way to the capital. At the same time, they also brought a memorial from Duke Qian, Mu Shan to the emperor. Under the reluctance of the Duke Qian and his wife, they left the city gate, walked further and further along the road, and finally no longer saw the figure...
