"It doesn't matter whether I go back to Yunnan or not. If Mu Sheng really wants to do something, he won't stop just because of a half-brother."

Zhang Xin personally thinks it is unnecessary.

To be honest, the country has grown, and the power that should be distributed should be distributed. It is enough that Mu Sheng can manage Yunnan well and has not declared himself king.

"It's mainly to make him feel that we won't do anything to him. Mu Xin is very important! General Mu Sheng is away, and I'm afraid the emperor won't trust him. Dad is trying to reassure him!"

Zhu Gaochi explained it a little more clearly.

Now Zhang Xin finally understood some of the things that she couldn't understand in her previous life.

When Zhu Di ascended the throne, he also restored the fief of Min Wang Zhu Yu and appointed Zhu Yu's brother-in-law Yuan Yu as the commander of Yunnan. Zhu Yu had been back in Yunnan for only half a year when Zhu Di suddenly asked Princess Chang Ning to marry him. From the granting of marriage to the marriage, the whole process was completed in less than a month. Chang Ning then married far away in Yunnan.

Later, even though it was said that Mu Xin treated her badly, Zhu Di did not support Chang Ning.

Zhu Di soon stripped Zhu Yun of his three guards and he became a barbaric vassal king, living in Yunnan. He was later recalled to the capital.

It turned out that so many things happened in the meantime, and the Mu family was invisibly fighting with Zhu Di.

"There are also rumors that Zhu Yunwen may have gone to Yunnan to seek protection from the Mu family. Dad wants Mu Sheng to find him."

Zhu Gaochi silently threw another big bomb.

"...You're still thinking about me?!"

Zhang Xin was shocked and speechless.

It's been more than ten years. If it could have jumped out, it would have jumped out long ago.

"Dad is not as carefree as you, and Mu Sheng is a good fighter."

Zhu Gaochi was well aware of Mu Sheng's military achievements, and was even more aware of Zhu Di's fear of the Mu family.

In the 31st year of Hongwu, when Mu Sheng had just received the title, Dao Ganmeng, the leader of the Luchuan barbarian tribe in Yunnan, took the opportunity to rebel.

Mu Sheng simply defeated the enemy and divided Luchuan into three prefectures and two states. He also set up a thousand-household unit on the west side of Nujiang River to stabilize Luchuan.

In the first year of Yongle, Babai Dadian rebelled and invaded the border. Mu Sheng also quickly put down the rebellion.

Later, when fighting Jiaozhi, Zhang Yu made slow progress for the sake of safety, while Mu Sheng was unstoppable and invincible.

At that time, the generals of Jiaozhi were not afraid of the Ming army, but they were afraid of the Yunnan soldiers led by Mu Sheng.

After the war, Zhu Di conferred the title of Duke of Ying on Zhang Yu, and promoted Mu Sheng from Marquis of Xiping to Duke of Qian.

If Zhang Yu was not Zhu Di's direct descendant, the credit for pacifying Jiaozhi would have to go to Mu Sheng. How could they be on equal footing?

Zhu Di admired Mu Sheng's talent, but was also afraid that his talent would fall into the hands of others.

After all, Mu Sheng inherited the title from Zhu Yunwen, and the Mu family has always been close to Zhu Biao. If they help Zhu Yunwen, the country will be in chaos in no time.

"Don't worry. From ancient times to the present, no one has had the right time, right place, and right people like our father. The Mu family is not stupid. It was also because Mu Sheng guarded Yunnan that after Jiaozhi was taken, there were only a few small rebellions, and it was stable all the way."

Zhang Xin even wanted to give Zhu Gaochi some actual examples.

She had actually experienced it. Mu Sheng had led the Mu family for forty-two years, from inheriting the title in the 31st year of Hongwu to his death in the 4th year of Zhengtong. During these long years, he tried his best to maintain the Mu family's "iron kingdom", but he also used a stable Mu family to maintain the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

It is no exaggeration to say that Mu Sheng is like a pillar of the southwest.

It was precisely because he stabilized the southwest that Zhu Di was able to free up his hands to launch five expeditions to the north.

In his previous life, Zhu Gaochi had a very high opinion of Mu Sheng. As soon as he ascended the throne, he conferred the title of Taifu on Mu Sheng.

"I think the Mu family is good, but my father is different."

Zhu Gaochi was helpless. After all, he was just a prince.

"Why didn't the Geng family, as the in-laws, inform the Mu family at the beginning?"

Zhang Xin asked again.

During the Jingnan Rebellion, the Geng family surrendered first, but the Mu family did not.

If we had been together at that time, wouldn't there be so many problems now?

"We don't know whether it's working or not. But the Mu family didn't get through, which shows the attitude of the Mu family."

Zhu Gaochi was quite accepting of this.

Yunnan is not a good place. No matter which emperor comes to power, he must use the Mu family. Mu Sheng will certainly not act rashly.

Mu Ying was the person who founded the Mu Mansion in Yunnan, and Mu Sheng was the person who truly pushed the Mu Mansion to its peak.

The Mu family is the local tyrant in Yunnan. Zhu Di cannot touch them, but he still has to give them a warning or two.

"I smelled a scent on Mu Xin. Wei Guan is investigating. I hope it's just a false alarm. Zhi Ming, I like it very much."

Zhang Xin told Zhu Gaochi the truth.

"Got it, let's find out first."

Zhu Gaochi let out a sigh and didn't want to think about it for the time being.

The men his sisters married were closely connected with the government, and sometimes it was difficult to have both. He felt overwhelmed when he thought about this.

"Your Highness, Master Sun requests to see you."

While the couple was in silence, someone outside shouted.
