Both of these people had gone to Chiji City and had seen the strength of the Yang family. is a close family member who has been with him for so long, and it is equivalent to having a great future waiting for them in the future, and betraying it for the sake of the beautiful dreams made up by others in front of him can only be a bad head. If this is the case, then it is better for the matter to happen as soon as possible, and the disloyal person should reveal his true face as soon as possible rather than waiting to be around step by step.

Of course, Yang Er and Yang Wu must have been tested, and at this point, Yang Chendong is still very confident.

"Young master, someone walked over our heads again, it seems that the number of people should be more than one class, do you?" When Yang Chendong was still looking down and pondering the environment he was facing, and whether there was anything he didn't care about, and which move he could take the initiative to take, Hu Mang's slightly excited voice came from his ears.

They are now in a pit. The top of the pit is covered with branches and leaves that are good for camouflage, and it is difficult to find such a trap unless you are a professional, unless you are very close. This kind of concealment and camouflage means, for Yang Chendong, I don't know how many times he has done it in that life, he has long been full of experience.

In fact, there are more than a dozen such camouflage and such deep pits in this mountain forest, and in this pit are Hu Mang and the other six members of the first guard team who followed Yang Chendong. The purpose here is to deal with the cold front players passing by this side and "eliminate" them one by one.

Hearing that someone had come to his pit, the corners of Yang Chendong's mouth curled slightly, revealing a smile, "Okay, the fat in the mouth must be eaten, and let Leng Feng know that the slightest carelessness may cost his life, especially in the jungle with a changeable environment." ”

"Look, okay, young master." After receiving the order to attack, Hu Mang's eyes flashed with excitement, even though it was already pitch black at the bottom of the pit, it seemed that he could still see his eager look and expression.

Soon after, a slight muffled grunt could be heard outside the pit, and it was clear that a one-sided "killing" was going on.

......

Xiping Hou Mansion.

In front of you, two giant stone lions with a height of four meters are said to have been built by the most famous craftsmen in the country when the palace was opened. After the fact, after the pen fell, the stone lion's eyes faintly emitted a deep light, which was terrifying.

In the middle of the two stone lions, it is the tall and solemn lacquered red gate, which is inlaid with seven horizontal roads and seven vertical roads, a total of seven hundred and forty-nine white door nails, symbolizing the identity of the owner of this house.

When you open the heavy gate and enter the courtyard, it is not only wide, but also exquisite and gorgeous. It is a little more luxurious than some of the Ming Dynasty's Fanwang Mansion surnamed Zhu.

This is Xiping Hou Mu Mansion, originated from Zhu Yuanzhang's adopted son Mu Ying, because of his brave battles, repeatedly made military exploits, Hongwu 16 years (1383) to Ping Xihou divided Yunnan, and later Jin became the Duke of Qianguo.

Since then, the Mu family has become the de facto master of Yunnan, and until now, the new Mu Bin has taken over the glory and mission of the family, and has become the new Marquis of Xiping and the Duke of Qianguo.

It's just that compared with the previous Xiping Marquis, Mu Bin encountered not only many problems, but also very big. For example, today's chaos has made him unable to sleep at night, and his meals are tasteless. The reason for this is that the two emperors' wills, one bright and one dark.

Needless to say, it was naturally a holy decree issued by Zhu Qizhen of Yingzong of the Southern Ming Dynasty, intending to let him quell the chaos in Yunnan.

The dark refers to Zhu Qiyu, the emperor of the Northern Ming Dynasty, and the meaning in the secret decree is to let him recognize the situation and return to the arms of the Ming Dynasty earlier.

Since the change of civil engineering, when the original Ming Dynasty was divided into two, Mu Bin made it difficult, and he didn't know who to listen to.

As the Mu family, who have escorted the Zhu family for generations, they have never had any rebellious heart. From the earliest Mu Ying, even now Mu Bin has the same idea.

But the matter of two emperors in one country really stumped him. And from his point of view, it seems that which one is orthodox, which one is not, and again.

Zhu Qizhen was originally Emperor Yingzong, and although he had lost news due to a crushing defeat on the battlefield, his status as emperor has always existed. It is not for the sake of being orthodox.

Zhu Qiyu was ordered to be in danger, and after there was no news of Emperor Yingzong, he succeeded to become the emperor, and played a very positive role in stabilizing the hearts of the ministers and the people, and he was still enthroned in the northern capital, with ceremonies and observance of the law, which can also be said to be orthodox.

Say no.

When Zhu Qizhen came back from defeat, he should go directly to Beijing, but he didn't have such guts, but went to Nanjing to establish the Southern Ming Dynasty, which seemed to be a bit unorthodox, and even took the initiative to split the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qiyu is even more so, his position as emperor was originally an expedient measure, and it is said that when he learned that Zhu Qizhen was fine, he should take the initiative to give up the throne. But he didn't, but continued to sit on the throne of the emperor who was a little unjust, which didn't seem to be orthodox.

This kind of two emperors who are yes and no, stumped Mu Bin. It is this kind of dilemma that makes the situation in Yunnan more and more difficult, so that even if he wants to go all out now, I am afraid that he will not be able to solve the problem.

In a war, the most taboo thing is that the coach is not strong-minded. This kind of thing is happening to Mu Bin, even the commander is like this, not to mention the soldiers below, there is a kind of good thing that doesn't know who to listen to, so that in the later stage, I don't know who is fighting.

I don't even know why, if this battle can be fought well, it would be a strange thing, even Mu Bin couldn't believe it.

Because the mind has been wavering, the heart on the battlefield is not strong, so that the enemy has taken advantage of the loophole, and now, he can only wait for a corner and wait and see what happens.

It was at this time that Yingzong's envoy arrived, and it was Wang Ji, the minister who took the position of Zuo Shilang to act as the minister of the military department.

According to the advice he gave to Yingzong, now he is divided into three ways to solve the matter.

The first way to marry and cole; The second way Mu clan was crowned king; The third way is to buy the Miao army with a lot of money.

The first way is far away, and the third road is full of dangers, and in the end, Wang Ji himself chose the second way, which is both safe and decent, that is, to come to Mu Mansion to be a lobbyist, in exchange for Mu Bin's throne, in exchange for the other party's full force to send troops to quell the rebellion in Yunnan.

With the arrival of Wang Ji, Mu Bin naturally didn't dare to slack off. Although he has a heavy army and has a high influence in Yunnan, he is careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. The reason why the Mu family can continue to this day, and the military power has not been speculated by others, is precisely because it is cautious and cautious. Usually, when a random fifth-grade official of the imperial court comes to Mu Mansion, he will personally receive it, not to mention that he is still a third-grade official, and he is very hopeful of becoming a second-grade scholar.

In the main hall of Mu Mansion, the handsome Mu Bin saw Wang Ji, who was dressed in a second-grade official uniform and had a humble appearance.

The two sides first greeted each other politely, and then sat down for tea, and looked at each other face to face.

For Mu Bin, Wang Ji is still a little unfamiliar. For his father, Mu Sheng, who had just passed away, had some dealings. Even if you want to talk about things, according to the habits of the Chinese, it is natural to start with friendship. This Wang Ji talked about some past events about himself and Mu Sheng.

Someone talked about his father in person, Mu Bin naturally listened respectfully, and from time to time a smile appeared on his face to show respect.

Wang Ji was still very satisfied with Mu Bin's performance, and as he spoke, the topic naturally involved the situation in front of him. “... I think that at the beginning, when Mu Sheng was still alive, Emperor Yingzong praised him more than once, saying that the old prince was valuable, loyal to the country, brave in battle, and won the heart of the emperor. So much so that when I heard the news of the death of the old man, I was really sad for several days? Now that I think about it, it all seems to have happened yesterday, which is really nostalgic. ”

"Thank you for the emperor's love for my father, I think my father will smile if he knows it." Mu Bin got up and hugged his fists in the direction of the south to show his respect.

"Mu Hou Ye is polite, the emperor not only respects the old man very much, but also attaches great importance to Mu Hou Ye, he has said to the ministers more than once, although Mu Hou Ye is young, but he does have a bit of the demeanor of the old man, and you are young and strong, when you will create more achievements comparable to the ancestors, and it is this value that the emperor decided to break the policy that a different surname cannot be crowned king, please Mu Bin to accept the decree."

As he spoke, Wang Ji's expression became extremely solemn, so much so that later, people took the initiative to stand up. I don't know when there is a golden decree with a dragon pattern printed on the back.

"Chen Mubin took the order." In the face of the holy decree, whether it is Yingzong's or Daizong's, Mu Bin has no reason to oppose it, all he can do is kneel down to receive the seal.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor, the edict said: Xiping Hou Mu Bin, young and promising, loyal to the lord and thinking of the country, outstanding military achievements, very heartfelt. Now I am grateful for the outstanding contributions made by the Mu family to the Ming Dynasty for generations, and I am specially named Xiping Marquis Mu Bin as the king of Xiping and give me a gold medal..."

Except for the first Mu Ying, the Marquis of Xiping for generations, everyone else served as the marquis when they were alive, and only when they died could they be awarded the title of Duke of Qianguo, which has become a common practice. But when he came to Mu Bin, he didn't even do anything, he was named the king with a different surname and became the king of Xiping, although it was just that this term did not say anything hereditary. But in terms of this move, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is glorious ancestors.
