Zhan Zhumen

In the imperial study room, Emperor Yongkang put down Mu Yan's memorabilia, and went to the side to look at the piece of imperial green that Mu Yan paid tribute to.

There is clearly a jade mountain in front of me, clear and flawless, green, as if dripping oil, people can't help but feel happy.The best jade, imperial green, it should be enjoyed by his status.

Emperor Yongkang looked happy, and looked around Yushan again and again.

Since the tribute was paid, it has been placed in the imperial study, and he has not yet decided what to carve it into.Just looking at it a few times a day makes me feel good.

The eunuch at the side complimented: "Such a hard-to-find best in the world, and only the emperor is worthy of it. In the hands of others, it will be a pearl covered in dust. It is still the son of Duke Qian who is on the road."

Emperor Yongkang nodded.He was very satisfied with Mu Bin's gift for the Longevity Festival.

A courtier who paid tribute to such a treasure, as an emperor sitting on the world, he had to show a thing or two, otherwise he would appear stingy.

Thinking of what Mu Bin played in the table above, he is quite satisfied.

Let Mu Bin go back to Yunnan to calm the chaos, thinking that the stone cow had entered the sea, and he was also worried that Yunnan would not be easy to control in the future.But I didn't expect him to do so many things in Yunnan.

Hoarding fields, laboring troops, raising troops, and setting up officials in the chieftain's territory to coordinate management.

Emperor Yongkang caressed Yu Linglong in his hand...

As the emperor, of course he hoped that the world would be unified, that all the people in the world would be the subjects of the king, and that the whole world would be the land of the emperor.Now the small countries around the southwest, Xifan, Xiqiang and the Western Regions are all vassal states, but a large area of ​​Yunnan is still the hereditary territory of the chieftain.The Yi people only know the chieftain, not the emperor of the capital.

Yi and Han belonged to one family, and of course the Yi people were also his subjects.

However, according to reports, there are prefectures governed by both officials and chieftains, and the people live in affluent and stable lives; there are prefectures governed by exile officials for a short period of time, and the standard of living is mediocre; while those prefectures governed by chieftains alone, the people live in dire straits.

They are all his people, and the people are not doing well, and he, the emperor, cannot escape the blame.

Those state capitals governed by chieftains alone...

Generally, they are big chieftains with a large population and a strong sense of territory, so outsiders are not allowed to interfere.For the sake of stability in the Southwest, he retained the hereditary territories of the chieftains, and granted them hereditary official positions, allowing them to govern themselves.

If these big chieftains manage the territory well, it doesn't matter.On the contrary, there are often reports saying that the chieftains annexed the land of the clansmen and set up arbitrarily named titles to collect more taxes, which made it difficult for the natives to survive.Due to the increase in the population of the clan and the lack of arable land, conflicts are about to unfold.

Disputes continue every year.Fortunately, the Mu Mansion suppressed the chaos, but there was not much trouble.

But now Mu Bin can actually set up a yamen in the chieftain's mansion and send officials to manage it together?
This is a good thing.Of course he has to support it.

Mu Sheng has been in power for many years, and he has allowed the big chieftain to oppress the local people. He has not made any changes. He only sent people to mediate or send troops to suppress the situation. The situation has not improved.Unexpectedly, Mu Bin has some methods, thunder methods.

It seems that the father and son are not of one mind.

Oh, he forgot, this is no longer father and son.Mu Bin has adopted to the big house.Emperor Yongkang's lips curled up.

It's not a good idea.He went to the jade mountain again, stroked it a few times, and said loudly, "Come here, grind the ink."

After Mu Yan finished his military service, he returned to the mansion, and had a good time with Huo Xi at night.

The clouds gather and the rain breaks.Mu Yan was hugging Huo Xi with her eyes closed, feeling the beauty just now, when she heard Huo Xi whisper in her ear, her hairs stood on end, and she sat up suddenly.

"what?"

The night was as cold as water, and as soon as the brocade quilt slipped down, Huo Xi felt a little chilly, and said angrily, "Keep your voice down, you scared me." She glared at him.

"Xi'er, what did you just say?" Mu Yan thought he heard it wrong, so he asked again in disbelief.

"I didn't say anything." Huo Xi pulled the quilt over his shoulder blades, rolled over and fell asleep.

Mu Yan turned her over: "Are you pregnant?" Did he hear correctly?

It wasn't until Huo Xi hummed softly that Mu Yanru Meng woke up, and slapped Huo Xi hard on the buttocks, "Why didn't you say it just now!" He said it after the matter was over, thinking of Meng Lang just now, he was very frightened.

"Are you okay?" Lifting the quilt to see.

Huo Xi grabbed the quilt, "It's cool. It's okay, I have a measure."

Mu Yan put his hand into the brocade quilt, and touched her belly again and again. The heat from the palm of his hand continued to flow in, warm and harmonious, and Huo Xi narrowed his eyes comfortably.

"It's been a few months? Why didn't you tell me in the letter?"

"It's been three months. You're going to come back anyway, so what are you doing with these things?"

Mu Yan bared her teeth, "I still can't find out about my child? It's time to tell me right away." His tone was dissatisfied.

"I'm afraid you will be distracted."

Uh... it does.If he had known earlier, he would have rushed back sooner.

Lie down with her heart in his arms, seeing her obediently lying in his arms with a little life in his belly, he felt infinitely satisfied.Qi'er is not by her side, she misses her child, she sheds tears in her dreams at night, now she has another child, it's great.

"Give birth to a daughter. Let Qi'er love her well in the future. Also let her be by your side." If it is a son, he will also be sent to the capital.Only the daughter can stay with their husband and wife.

"Maybe we'll be returning to Beijing soon. I miss Yu'er. He's growing up, and he can't remember what happened when he was a child. I'm afraid he won't remember us." Eyes swollen.

Mu Yan hugged her tightly, "No. Qi'er is enlightened now, Nian'er is not a letter, he can sit still, he will write to us now, how can he forget his biological parents."

Seeing that Huo Xixiang's son was crying, she comforted her, and said in a soft voice: "I hope we can stay for two more years, and wait for me to make more arrangements. When I finish my work, I will call us back to Beijing."

I don't know if the emperor can satisfy his desire to stay in Yunnan for two more years after reading his letter.

What he has to do is not yet done.Jun's and Udai's side has not yet resolved, if he returns to Beijing now, everything will fall short.

"Let's tell him the news that Qi'er is going to have a younger sister in the letter. When he thinks that he will soon have a younger sister, he may look like an older brother. He will work hard to learn literature and martial arts, and write letters to us more diligently. You'll forget about us, okay?" Softly reassuring her.

After Mu Yan came back, news of Huo Xi's pregnancy spread throughout the mansion.

All houses came to congratulate or send gifts to the door.

Aunt Jun was a little annoyed, "It was announced after three months, and we had to wait until the animal came back to announce it. Why, is it because we are afraid that we will harm the fetus in her womb?"

These days, the shops in Jun's family are struggling to make ends meet. Mrs. Jun is so anxious that she calls Aunt Jun over to discuss big plans.

Wu Shi was caught by her to assist the central government, and he hadn't gone out to ride horses, shoot arrows and hunt for several days, and he had to take care of a bunch of trivial things every day, which was extremely annoying.

She herself hadn't conceived for several years after giving birth to Mu Ying, and when she heard that Huo Xi was pregnant, she was so sore.

Thinking of Mu Yan, who was like a heavenly man on the top of the city gate on New Year's Eve, made me feel even more sour.She couldn't help curling her lips: "It's not certain whether it is the blood of the prince."
