Being scolded as a poor widow, I relied on supernatural powers to counterattack in ancient times

Chapter 829 Planning in advance
That Mu Sanniang was stupid today. On the surface, she was envious, jealous and hated against the prejudice, but secretly she was regarded as a pawn to explore the way, or a pawn that was not taken seriously and discarded at any time.

As Liang Gongren said at the time, she and Mu Sanniang were not familiar with anything other than the same clan, so it was no burden to abandon them.

Perhaps because of this, Mu Sanniang felt resentful in her heart, but she had to obey orders for the sake of her family.

Coupled with Xiao Wu's narration, it has to make people think a little more.

"I went to Wu's family for a banquet today, and people from Wu An said that Liang Gong came from the Mu family in the capital. Mr. Gong said that the two of them produced five suits, and they were not familiar with each other before, but I don't necessarily see it."

Looking at Xiao Wu's thoughtful expression, Bai Yunxi reminded softly,

"In the future, pay more attention to the news of the Mu clan in Kyoto, and get to know it properly, in case of emergencies."

Right now the two families seem to have no intersection, but what about the future?In case there is a collision, it will not be caught off guard.

Hearing his mother's reminder, Xiao Wu narrowed his eyes, and a stern look flashed in his eyes, which made Bai Yunxi raise his eyebrows.

"When my son was in the capital, he also had a general understanding. During this period, the elder brother also explained a lot to me. There are four ancient families in Kyoto, and the Mu family is one of them. Other families enjoy the title of title, and only the head of the Mu family The court holds the position of prime minister, and there are many disciples in the court, such a person should have little contact with his son."

If he, a newly appointed No. [-] Scholar, confronts the Mu family, it will undoubtedly be an ant shaking an elephant, and they are not on the same level.

Listening to Xiao Wu's tone and heartfelt voice, Bai Yunxi blinked,
"Not necessarily. The aristocratic family has a profound background, intertwined and intertwined, and they can survive the change of dynasties. The imperial court is also very jealous of these clans. In order to appease them, the imperial court bestows titles on most of them and handed down hereditary titles. Moreover, these people also recommend The right to recommend talents directly to the imperial court."

Of course, the talents recommended by them, in addition to the clan's children, are the disciples they cultivated themselves.

"As a monarch, to attract talents from all over the world, he naturally wants to make them loyal to the monarch and the court. This is the original intention of the court to set up scientific examinations. Anyone who is selected into the Imperial Academy is subordinate to the emperor's close ministers. Entering the Imperial Academy, becoming a scholar of the Imperial Academy, is also a poor family Children dream. Like you, don't you want to enter the Imperial Academy?"

Looking at Xiao Wu's inexplicable eyes, Bai Yunxi couldn't help but tease him.

"What the mother said is right. The palace in my son's heart is a scholar of the Imperial Academy, who will become a close minister of the emperor."

Only by becoming a Hanlin bachelor can you be valued by officials and have the opportunity to display your ambitions. However, it is too early to say this at the moment. If it spreads, it will be called frivolous.

Hearing Xiao Wu's voice, Bai Yunxi nodded, a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, only ambition can motivate him.

"If you want to, you have to work hard. There are many obstacles in the road ahead, and you need to be careful. Although you don't need to take one step and look at ten steps, it is still possible to look at three steps. Today, Mu Sanniang made a difficult statement, and my mother didn't take it to heart. Tracing back to the source, the key point is still in you, maybe you have something that makes people afraid, which attracts temptation from others."

"For no reason, what are other people going to do with all this effort? Right now we know, as long as we take precautions and seize the opportunity,"

The top pick has been admitted, so all we need to do next is to plan well and remove some obstacles when necessary.

The more class-heavy the era, the harder it is to go up. Only by standing tall can you protect yourself and your family. The people who suffer and suffer are always the people at the bottom.

"What my mother said is very true. Before my return, the elder brother told me. He will contact me by letter in the future about the actual situation in Kyoto. As for the Mu family, the son will let the elder brother pay special attention to it, no matter what their purpose is. , I won’t let them get what they want easily.”

He understood what his mother meant. As far as he knew, Prime Minister Mu was already over sixty this year. According to court law, the retirement age for civil and military officials was set at 70.It seems that the old prime minister has not been retired for a few years... During this period, he must take care of his health, and he must not suffer from illness or disaster, otherwise, he will have to take care of him in advance.

People with high positions and powerful positions have the right to recommend them. This is a privilege and grace given to them by the court.

If the old prime minister has not found a suitable candidate, it is understandable to guard against the academicians of the Imperial Academy, so as not to let people take advantage of the loopholes.

My father-in-law once said that the clan and the imperial power are always in opposition. The two have the same goal, to develop and strengthen their strength, but their purpose is different. One is to protect the interests of the clan, and the other is to consolidate the imperial power.

In this way, the entire Hanlin Academy is the object of their attention, but it is really an honor for him to let the Mu family notice in advance before he has reached that step.

No wonder the elder brother was hesitant when he talked about entering the Imperial Academy, he thought that the elder brother had something to hide and it was not convenient for him to say it, so he didn't ask at that time.

Now that I think about it, I guess it has something to do with the Mu family.

It would be easy to know who was hostile to them.

After talking about the business, they changed the subject, and the mother and son chatted a few more words about homework, and Bai Yunxi sent Xiao Wu back to rest.

After a brief wash, Bai Yunxi leaned on the bed and invited Wenyou to sit over.

"From tomorrow onwards, you will go out of the mansion and look around, find out where there are shantangs and ruined temples around the city, and adopt some children with roots and spirituality. Xiaowu has left his official career, and we have to prepare manpower." Get up in case you need it."

Hearing Baiyunxi's order, Wenyou was taken aback.

"Aunt Bai wants me to cultivate some comforters and warriors?"

"If you want to achieve self-protection, it is necessary to train secret guards. Only those who have the confidence will do so."

Baiyunxi supported his head and chuckled lightly,
"Of course, we must also pay attention to the method of cultivating people. After all, everyone's physique and bones are different, and they have the idea of ​​teaching students according to their aptitude. If you can't be a secret guard, you can be an ordinary servant. Pay more attention to little girls. As long as they have a flexible mind, they can be brought back to raise Now, after training, prepare it for Yaya."

If there is a hidden guard around the girl, it can save a lot of trouble.Besides, there will be more and more children in the family in the future, so we should be prepared.

Regarding Baiyunxi's proposal, Wenyou naturally has no meaning?
"Training the hidden guards is not something that happens overnight, and it has to be kept secret. I wonder what Aunt Bai's plan is?"

Listening to Wenyou's question, Bai Yunxi pointed to the drawer under the dressing table,

"In the future, you will take the money and go to Beicheng to choose a remote yard, bigger and more spacious, and there will be no suspicion if there are too many people."

During this period, the layout of the prefectural city was mostly the same, divided into four urban areas, east, west, south, and north. The east of the city belonged to the commercial street, and the south of the city was located in the government office, which was also the residence of officials' families.The west of the city is a slum in the eyes of the rich, and the residents are ordinary people.
