Zhan Zhumen

Chapter 687
Mu Yan brought back the leader of the pirates, Song Jin, and brought back a large amount of property, which caused shock in the court.

This batch of property worth nearly 2000 million taels was filled into the national treasury, which made the Minister of the Household Department almost cry with Mu Yan in his arms.

He knows best what the state treasury looks like now, it is so empty that it can run like a horse.Now fill it with the belongings brought back by Mu Yan. The boxes, big and small, are full of gold and silver inside.

Hubu Shangshu cried with joy, and Emperor Yongkang almost cried with joy.

Originally, it was a bit far-fetched for him to win the throne. The people along the coast were distracted by the pirates and questioned the ability of him and the imperial court.

As a result, he died before leaving the army, and many elite sailors trained by the imperial court died in a big storm.

I dare not announce it to the outside world, only report it as missing.Emperor Yongkang is so angry.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Emperor Yongkang was so happy that Mu Yan captured more than 200 pirates and returned to the court, not to mention the pirate leader, and brought back a lot of property. He was so happy that he kissed the throne to help him.

"Aiqing won my heart in this battle! I will reward you a lot!"

Emperor Yongkang sealed the eight people who were with Mu Yan, together with Li Yikan Er, as officials.Gold and silver were awarded again.

The captain of the ship and all the sailors on board, including the guards brought by Huo Xi, Tayue Gansan and others all rewarded a lot of gold and silver.

It's Huo Xi's turn...

"I beg the emperor to help you!" Mu Yan knelt down on the ground.

Now that Xi'er is returning with him, the capital will know all about it soon, there is no way to hide it.Only by asking the emperor to issue a marriage decree can Xi'er's reputation not be ruined.

The next marriage decree is easy, but...

Emperor Yongkang hesitated: "Can you discuss with the British Duke? Have you obtained his approval?"

Emperor Yongkang felt that it was still a good name to issue an imperial decree to bestow marriages on his subjects, but if the Duke of England disagreed, he was afraid that he would do bad things with good intentions.

The Duke of England is his minister of the humerus, and the Duke of England cannot be offended just because of Mu Bin's meritorious service.

It will be bad if the British public has a heart.

Mu Yan gritted her teeth: "Thank you, the emperor, for reminding me that if I can get the British Duke's consent to the marriage, I hope the emperor can fulfill my wishes."

"Okay, I have prepared the imperial decree for you, waiting for you to come and pick it up at any time!"

"My humble servant bows to the emperor!"

Mu Yan returned to the Duke's Mansion of Qian State, and the Cheng family, who had gotten the news a few days earlier, had already been waiting in the mansion to wait and see.

Seeing him come back, she hugged him and cried bitterly: "My son, mother thought I would never see you again!"

This is her son, the son she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy, she is no aunt!
Mu Yan hugged her back, patted her back lightly, and comforted her.

Cheng's crying was enough, she looked her son up and down, and saw that there was nothing wrong with her except that she was a little thinner, so the tears stopped, leaving only the joy of her son's return.

Looking back, seeing that his son had made such great contributions, and only got a plate of gold and silver, he was stunned again, "This..."

"The emperor made me his son! He also told me that I did not inherit his title, but the title of my grandfather and stepfather. I hope that I will inherit the will of my grandfather and stepfather in the future, guard the territory for the court, and do a good job. A pillar."

Mu Yan comforted Qi Cheng.

"Really, you have become a son?" Cheng's eyes widened in disbelief.

Mu Yan nodded to her with a smile.

The tears that Cheng had just wiped away flowed down again, and she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and began to cry again.

It's not easy for her son.Originally, the mother and son did not fight or rob, and never thought of inheriting any title.Yan'er is the eldest son, even if the eldest son is childless, it is impossible for him to adopt the eldest son of the second family, who would have known that the old marquis just took a fancy to him.

Then the mother and son were forced to separate, and Yan'er has been suffering all kinds of hardships.

Put him on fire, and he can't get off.

Even if he says he doesn't want that position now, I'm afraid others won't believe it and think he's in the way.

"Okay, that's my son's, it's my son's!" Thinking of the emperor's words again, "What does the emperor mean, that you want you to defend the territory and return to Yunnan?"

"I don't know yet." Mu Yan shook his head.

Seeing Cheng's disappointed face, he said softly, "Where my son is in the future, you will be there."

As the clan's wife, Cheng stayed at the ancestral house in the capital, separated from her husband and son, and lived like a dry well.She doesn't know what will happen in the future, but her son's promise made her nod happily.

"Thanks to Xi'er this time, even my mother thought you were gone, only she didn't want to give up. Mother has to thank her in person, and also go to ask the Duke of England for marriage." He said, looking at his son, afraid that he would have other ideas .

She really liked this daughter-in-law so much, she wished she could marry her back early.I was afraid that my son would change his mind.

Mu Yan smiled, "Wait until I see Mr. Yingying first, and then you come to the door."

"Okay, then you go to the British Duke quickly!" Urging his son, he couldn't wait for a moment.

With Mu Yan's return, the whole government of the Duke of Qian knew that the emperor had named Mu Yan as the son of the Duke of Qian.

Mu Xin, Mu Jie, father and son of the fourth room and Mrs. Yan Tai were very happy, and came to congratulate Mu Yan one after another.Mu Yan treats them close, isn't he a better son than Mu Zhan?

Mrs. Geng was stunned, a little unbelievable.

I thought Mu Yan had drowned, but I didn't expect not only to be alive, but also to have made great contributions.

She didn't want him to die. She was also sad to hear the news that he might drown. After all, he was also her grandson.But now seeing that he has returned from meritorious service, he still has to be crowned prince, Mrs. Geng feels inexplicable again.

Mu Wang was also taken aback.

One is the direct elder brother and the other is the real elder brother.Of course, it's better for the elder brother to be the son, from a selfish point of view, after all, the same mother and compatriots.

Mu Wang locked himself in the room for a long time before walking to Mu Yan's courtyard.

The two brothers looked at each other, and no one spoke for a long time.

"Congratulations." Mu Wang finally congratulated.

Mu Yan looked at this younger brother, who had grown up a lot, and seemed to be quite sensible.Nodding lightly: "Thank you."

Mu Wang pursed his lips and wanted to turn around and leave, but Mu Yan stopped him, "If you want to go back to Yunnan, I can send someone to take you back."

Mu Wang was stunned, thought for a while, and shook his head: "I want to stay in the capital."

"It's up to you." Glancing at him, thinking for a while, he asked him, "I heard you want to enter the barracks?"

Mu Wang's eyes lit up, and he nodded fiercely: "Yes. I'm 16 years old..."

He is 16 years old, and he also wants to make some achievements in the army like his father and grandfather.Now that his father is not in the capital, and there is no one to help him plan, the big brother in front of him...

A glimmer of hope ignited in Mu Wang's heart.

Mu Yan took a deep look at him, "Okay, I will arrange it later."

Mu Wang jumped up and said, "Thank you, brother!"

Watching him leave briskly, the corners of Mu Yan's mouth twitched.

When Huo Xiping came back, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.The entire British government came to see her, and the younger siblings also ran to her yard to chatter around her, Huo Nian stayed by her side, looking at her well.Huo Erhuai and Yang Shi also brought An An to see her.

Others said she was so good, but they didn't believe her at all, and they had to come and see her in person to feel at ease.

"If you don't come back, mother will let your father take someone to find you."

When Zhang Fu heard his daughter came back, he hurried back from the yamen and got out of the carriage at the gate of the mansion, where he saw Mu Yan waiting there.

With a long body, he said, "I have seen Uncle Shi."

Zhang Fu's sense of crisis immediately came up.Good boy, don't you call him British, but Uncle Shi?
