Chapter Ninety-Six: My Home

Li Hongji's ranger has appeared in Daxing County, one of the two red counties in Fukuo.

Therefore, the people of the surrounding counties have moved closer to the capital, and some wealthy people from other places are willing to pay everything to enter the capital for refuge, in their hearts, the capital should be the safest place in the whole Ming Dynasty.

In fact, they are wrong.

The rich people in the capital are leaving the city......

Soon, ten days passed.

The Si Tianjian stargazing platform blocked by Mu Tiantao was re-unsealed, but the stargazing instruments on the high platform were gone.

The stargazing platform was bare, even the blue brick floor was intact, as if those precious instruments had never been erected here.

Mu Tiantao didn't know where those things were gotten by Xia Wanchun.

He didn't want to ask, he only knew that if these things fell into the hands of Lantian, they would definitely play the role they were supposed to play, and if they were left to Li Hongji, they would most likely be melted into copper and finally minted into cheap copper coins.

For Xia Wanchun, Mu Tiantao only has gratitude in his heart, but no resentment!

Really, not at all!

Many things can only be understood by people with high IQs, and many people in this world who are good to you are not really good to you, but some people who exploit and oppress you are really thinking about you.

Mu Wangfu is the remnant of the Ming Dynasty!

In the eyes of Lantian people, this is what it looks like, a family that rests with the country, and it is impossible to completely unseal the brand of the Ming Dynasty on his body.

And if Mu Wangfu wants to stand in the world, he must do this, and be a person who rests with Daming.

This is a concrete manifestation of a person's or family's cherished loyalty.

Betrayers can never be truly regarded as their own people, Mu Wangfu has reached the point where he chooses to be loyal to Chongzhen, not only can he have an explanation to his ancestors, but also to the people of the world.

The world in the future belongs to Lantian, and this situation is already very clear, whether it is Mu Tianbo, the prince of Qianguo in Yunnan, or Mu Tiantao, who is in the capital, he understood it a long time ago.

This is why Mu Tianbo sent his smartest brother to Yushan Academy.

For a large family, the relationship between friend and foe can never be very clear, and it is normal for a family to be divided into several camps.

This is also the reason why Yun Zhao doesn't like to use the children of the big family, a person who is not pure, there is no way to do pure things.

Xia Wanchun knew that the master actually really liked this Mu Tiantao, and he himself was a talent cultivated by the academy, so he had a natural affinity for this person.

Since the master asked him to come to the capital, then Mu Tiantao's solution fell on Xia Wanchun.

In other words, Mu Tiantao's life and death are between Xia Wanchun's thoughts.

He wants Mu Tiantao to be his partner, but before he can become a partner, he must erase the shadow of the big family on him.

If you want to erase the background of Mu Tiantao's big family, you must first erase Mu Wangfu!

There are two ways to erase Mu Wangfu, one is to erase mentally, and the other is to erase physically.

Obviously, Xia Wanchun chose to mentally wipe out Mu Wangfu!

It is not difficult to do this, as long as Lantian's land policy, slave emancipation policy, and household separation policy are implemented on the head of Muwangfu, the huge Muwangfu will fall apart.

In the first few years, Mu Wangfu may still have some influence, but as Yunnan's local representatives are gradually elected, they will be slowly forgotten by the people, and they will no longer have the strength to make any waves.

This is the way to deal with Mu Wangfu.

For Mu Tiantao himself, it is what Xia Wanchun said - hardship and hardship, Yuru is successful.

He is not a child of Lantian, nor a child of Guanzhong, or even a child of ordinary people, in Yushan Academy, he is a most dazzling outlier.

If such a character wants to be completely integrated into the Lantian system, then he must make a cruel separation from his old class.

When he came to the capital, he began to divide with the noble class, which was the first thing Mu Tiantao did.

To this end, he did a great job.

The more than two million taels of silver given to Emperor Chongzhen, each ingot of silver was stained with blood, and every drop of blood on the silver could reflect the hatred of the nobles for Mu Tiantao and Mu Wangfu.

Mu Tiantao's torture in the capital will inevitably become a difficult historical fragment, existing in the history books, and completely cutting off the back road is the most important purpose of Mu Tiantao's entry into Beijing.

Fighting for Emperor Chongzhen until the last moment was Mu Tiantao's insistence, and marrying Zhu Yujiao was the last thing Mu Tiantao could do for the old Ming Dynasty.

During the Chongzhen period, it was a period when everyone was working hard for their own survival.

Those who do not work hard - die!

Mu Tiantao went out of the city with his only three hundred cavalry.

The purpose is to eliminate Li Hongji's rangers.

He did a good job of this job, and every day he could catch the thieves' rangers from outside the city, and then drag them back to the capital with war horses.

As a result, there is a lively scene of executing prisoners every day at the entrance of the vegetable market.

The emperor has no mercy on these captives, as long as it is a prisoner reported by Mu Tiantao, the final outcome is - chop!

The scene of the torture was very strange, some people cheered, some people were silent, and some people looked incomprehensible.

Mu Tiantao put himself in the position of a worker, went out of the city every day to find the thieves and rangers, caught the thieves and spies, and reported to the emperor when he was caught, and then continued to go out of the city.

While he was fighting against the thieves without sleep, his official position continued to increase, from a guerrilla general to a staff general.

Mu Tiantao believed that once the thieves came to the city, he should be able to become the youngest chief officer in the Ming Dynasty.

Today, Mu Tiantao returned from outside the city, exhausted and fell on the brocade couch, the blood-stained armor made a mess of the brocade couch.

Looking at Mu Tiantao, who was sleeping heavily, Zhu Yujiao walked out from behind the curtain and put her little hand on Mu Tiantao's cold face.

The face, which made many women in Yushan Academy fall in love with back then, is now covered with thin bloodshots, cracks have appeared in some places, and the pair of white and slender hands have also become rough, and the back of the hand is red and swollen, which is caused by the cold wind.

Zhu Yujiao brought warm water and gently dipped her handkerchief in water to wipe Mu Tiantao's face.

The handkerchief was touched to his face, Mu Tiantao opened his big black and white eyes, and said to Zhu Yujiao with a smile: "It doesn't matter." ”

Zhu Yujiao stubbornly continued to wipe Mu Tiantao's face, but the sadness on her face disappeared and became very gentle.

"I heard that you have been teaching the crown prince Cijiong, Dingwang Cijiong, and Yongwang Cijiong to ride horses all these days?"

Zhu Yujiao said in a low voice: "I not only taught them to ride horses, but also took them to the city market to learn how to spend money and how to live like an ordinary person.

Brother Shi, if the capital can't be defended, tell me, and I will send someone to send them away. ”

"Why did you go to Guanzhong?"

Zhu Yujiao said: "They need to take refuge in the name of the Zhu family's disciples. ”

Mu Tiantao hesitated for a moment and said, "Believe me, these things you do must be under the supervision of the Lantian Secret Spy Division." ”

Zhu Yujiao shook her head and said: "It doesn't matter, he Yunzhao has been willing to admit that he is the traitor of the Ming Dynasty until now, and only said that he is the successor of the Ming Dynasty, since he is the successor, it should not be too difficult to shelter the prince of the previous Ming Dynasty." ”

Mu Tiantao pondered for a moment and said, "It's not appropriate to do this......"

Zhu Yujiao shook her head and said: "It's very proper, if there is anyone in the world who has a trace of pity for my father and emperor, only Yun Zhao."

There are many people in this world who are traitors to seek glory, Ci Hong, Ci Jiong, and Ci Jiong, the three of them have no ability to stand on their own, and they do not have the ambition to look at the world like you, if you follow others incognito.

Those who are ambitious will rebel under their banner, those who are greedy for money will sell the three of them for a good price, and those who are greedy for power will even regard the three of them as a stepping stone for themselves to enter the officialdom, no matter what, the end must be very bad. ”

Mu Tiantao said in a low voice: "Yun Zhao has already been proclaimed emperor. ”

Zhu Yujiao shook her head and said: "Yun Zhao is an extremely cunning, extremely fierce, and extremely proud person, he not only wants to become an emperor, his goal is to be an emperor through the ages!"

The whole world is a huge chessboard for him, my father emperor, Li Hongji, Zhang Bingzhong, Huang Taiji, and all the anti-kings in the world are just a chess piece on his chessboard.

Now, under his operation, this game of chess has gradually become his world.

This kind of person only hates not many enemies in his life, and he will never tarnish his reputation because of the three ordinary people of Ci Hong, Ci Jiong, and Ci Jiong.

Therefore, the three of them went to Guanzhong and took the initiative to accept Yun Zhao's monitoring, so that they could have a way to live.

Maybe you will live a very ordinary life, but you can definitely live. ”

Mu Tiantao sat up and looked at Zhu Yujiao seriously, "Who gave you the idea?" ”

Zhu Yujiao sighed and said, "I'm useless, am I?" ”

Mu Tiantao raised his hand and touched Zhu Yujiao's little face and said, "I can't think of such an old and spicy idea." ”

Zhu Yujiao lowered her head and said, "Grandpa Cao! ”

Mu Tiantao nodded and said, "It should be Cao Huachun." ”

"Gonggong Cao also told my father that while the thieves had not yet arrived in the capital, he was willing to take my father and queen mother to flee the capital in makeup, and go to the south to see if there was a chance to survive.

I was rejected by my father.

Until now, my father still stubbornly believed that he would defeat the thieves in the capital. ”

Mu Tiantao sighed and said: "Even if Your Majesty blocks the thieves, however, Yunzhao's 200,000 male soldiers are about to arrive, and when Li Dingguo and Yunyang's army soldiers come to the city, whether it is the thieves, or we are vulnerable in front of them."

Princess, you have seen the Lantian soldiers, you know what they look like, they are an invincible army made of steel and gunpowder, wherever they go, any obstacle that hinders their progress will eventually turn into powder! ”

A suspicious blush appeared on Zhu Yujiao's little face, and she leaned her head on Mu Tiantao's chest and said, "My father said that the capital is his home, and he won't go anywhere." ”
