Chapter 802 You are more comfortable than him
The hall was dispersed, and everyone went outside the meeting hall.
Originally, I only heard that there was a prince in the capital, and I didn't know Mu Yan well. After this meeting, I really understood it.
Before leaving, they all nodded to Mu Yan and said goodbye. With one hand behind his back, Mu Yan's figure was like a green pine, nodded to the officials and staff, and watched them leave.
Mu Zhan was walking behind, feeling a little glaring about this scene. Mu Xi, who was on the side, comforted: "He won't stay for long, why don't he continue to return to Beijing as a hostage?" In the future, the whole of Yunnan will not be the director of the Mu family's eldest son next to him?
He still understands how to hug this thigh.
"Brother, go for a drink? There is a new tavern on West Street. Not only is the wine good, but also Kabuki. I heard it was sent from Jiangnan. Do you want to go?"
Mu Zhan shook his head, "Another day. I still have something to do."
"What's the matter? How about I come with you?"
Before Mu Zhan could speak, Mu Ang glared at the stupid son, and raised his voice, "Xi'er, my father has something to do with you!"
"Ah? What's the matter? How about at night?"
Mu Ang choked a mouthful of old blood in his throat. "Follow me quickly!"
"Ah? Oh." Mu Xi responded, walking towards the old father, not forgetting to say hello to Mu Zhan: "Brother, let's make an appointment another day."
Father and son walked side by side, Mu Jun smiled lightly, did not follow, nodded to Mu Yan, and left.
Mu Zhan saw that people walked all over the place, but his father strode over as if he wanted to talk to Mu Yan, "Father, I have something to discuss with you."
"What is it?"
Mu Zhan looked at Mu Yan, who gave him a cold glance, turned around and left without saying hello to Duke Qian.
Gong Qian looked at his back and felt a little... lonely?
No, no, he must have read it wrong. He, the adopted son, was in the meeting hall just now, acting vigorously and resolutely, with a bold and decisive look, how could he be... lonely.
But he still turned his head and glared at Mu Zhan, before raising his leg.
"Father, wait for me!" Mu Zhan raised his legs to follow.
A group of officials left the Mu Mansion, and they were also talking about Mu Yan.
"I didn't expect the son to be so outstanding. Blessed is Yunnan."
"Well, yes. The son of the old Hou Ye, he is vigorous and resolute, and does things without sloppiness. It is my blessing in Dian."
"That's right, several major issues have been decided today. As usual, there are no results so quickly."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
There are bureaucrats and aides, but there are also different voices, "Your Majesty seems to know us very well." I was somewhat terrified.
Some people were silent, and some turned their heads to stare at him: "What do you mean? The son is the future ruler of our Dian land, and he doesn't know all the subordinates. Is this plausible?"
It is true to say so. It's just... "I heard that the prince is working in the Jinyiwei in the capital."
"So what!" Someone yelled at him, "Anyway, I am not afraid of the shadow slanting, I am dedicated to the people of Yunnan, and I have nothing to hide, and I am afraid of people's investigation."
"Me too." "Me too." They all responded.
But there are many people who are silent.
It wasn't until lunch time that Huo Xi waited for Mu Yan, who was smiling at the corner of his mouth.
"Didn't go out?" Mu Yan pecked her lips.
Huo Xi held his face in both hands: "You are going well today? Is there anything happy?" The first day you entered politics, did you have any problems? I thought he was going to come back with a black face.
"Let someone prepare the meal, I will tell you slowly."
The husband and wife quickly finished their meal, and they digested food in the courtyard, while listening to Mu Yan talking about the morning's political discussion...
Huo Xi was dumbfounded.
"Didn't you say that Mu Zhan is quite smart? Officials from all over Yunnan, as well as chieftains from all over Yunnan, respect him very much. He has not been crowned heir, and many people fight for him?"
On this level? IQ seems to be insufficient.
"He was too eager to show off, instead he said more and made more mistakes. And he was eager to step on me, but instead showed his feet everywhere." Mu Yan smiled.
Just like Mu Zhan, that is, he didn't live in Yunnan for a long time, otherwise there would be room for Mu Zhan to play?
"But Mu Zhan should not be underestimated. He has been in Yunnan for many years, and the relationship behind him is intricate. These years, he has played the image of an obedient and sensible son next to the Duke. He has the support of the Duke and is better than me. Now, we are more or less alone. And... we cannot stay in Yunnan, which is our biggest disadvantage."
At this time, the good son Mu Yan was talking about was thinking that Duke Qian could let him go to the guard to pick people.
Thinking that he also helped Mu Yan, Mu Zhan's heart ached. I can't wait to beat myself to death.
As for Mu Yan's proud appearance, if he hadn't mentioned it himself, the Zhuang soldiers in his village would probably have to continue to provide money from their private houses to support them.
Now let him seize the opportunity and reach out for silver and money.
"Father, Mu Yan already has a lot of people, should he go to the guard to pick people?"
"Do you know how many people he has?"
Uh... I know but I can’t say it. Otherwise, if his father suspects his purpose of marking people, it will be bad.
"What do I need to say? Who doesn't know that he has many people. Even the horses are probably better than the horses in the army."
"You know again."
"He didn't avoid people either. Last time he went all out to find someone surnamed Zhang, no one knew!"
Mu Sheng scolded: "Pay attention to your wording. He is younger than you, but he is the eldest son, and that is not someone whose surname is Zhang or Huang. That is the wife of the eldest son personally appointed by the emperor."
Mu Zhan gritted his teeth secretly. He was born early and was the eldest brother, but now he is being suppressed by this younger brother who is staying in Beijing.
"Father, you can't let him take all the benefits."
"What advantage does he have? All these years, the son's share is the share that the grandson should have. The mansion has not allocated a cent to the capital. What advantage does he have? The guard army of the son and grandson was appointed by your grandfather." Those who came down, these years, he has not picked a single person, nor has he received any money. The people in his village are his own, and you have a lot of people, so I don’t know? And you still use the public He raised it with money, did he use it for a penny?"
Mu Zhan hated hearing this. Look at what my father said, every single word is for him? It's all about helping Mu Yan.
In these years, he was the only one who stayed by his father's side to honor him, and played the image of an obedient and sensible son for many years. Once Mu Yan came back, would he be worthless?
"My mother said that he held all the property in the capital, and didn't send a cent to Yunnan. Didn't it all fall into his pocket?"
"Shut up! How much property can the capital have? Your grandfather has been fighting with the Taizu in the early years. When the dynasty was established, he was conferred a noble and was sent to the border by the Taizu to guard the border. What property can he buy in the capital? Even There are some meager properties, which are also the private property left by your grandfather and uncle to the eldest house, how dare you covet them!"
His father's parents died early when he was young, and he was adopted by the Taizu as a homeless orphan. What assets can he have? Under the eyes of others in the capital, what kind of property can be bought?
Those industries are nothing compared to those in Yunnan.
Staring at the eldest son, he was somewhat disappointed.
Mu Zhan's heart skipped a beat, and he suppressed the turbid air in his heart desperately.
Lord Chaoqian cupped his hands: "Father, the son is narrow-minded. These days, my father always keeps his words in his heart and his words. My elder brother, I feel uncomfortable, so my words and deeds are inappropriate. I ask my father to forgive me. "
Mu Sheng looked at the son and sighed.
"It's not easy for your second brother. It's better than you to stay in Beijing and live under the nose of the boss? The capital looks prosperous, but the mountains in Yunnan are high and the emperor is far away. Don't you live more comfortably than him? Apart from your status as a son, what else do you have?" What are you missing? What do you need for your father? You don’t know when your second brother will be recalled to the capital by the emperor, and you are not helping your father in managing political affairs in Yunnan?”
Mu Zhan lowered his eyes, with a respectful attitude: "Yes, my son knows his mistake."
He admitted his mistakes to Qian Guo, and told many stories about his father's kindness and filial piety in the past. After hearing this, Qian Guogong was also very moved. Talked some heartfelt words with this son, and the father and son recalled some warm past events together.
Seeing that the servants wanted to serve dinner, Mu Zhan left, "I won't delay father's meal."
"Don't you eat with your father?"
"No. The stewards are still waiting to give their son something."
Mu Sheng nodded, "Forget it, you go. Don't get tired."
"Yes." She arched her hands and retreated from the study.
