The scenery of Dali Palace is superb, and the scenery of Mu Palace can be described as a new scene at every step. No matter whether it is the several lakes of different sizes in the garden or the misty pavilions on the lakes, they all look so beautiful that they don't seem to be on earth, but more like the fairyland in heaven.
While strolling through the place, even Su Yao couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder everyone has been willing to do anything for this position for so many years. In Yunnan, the Tusi of Mufu lives a more carefree life than the emperor."
He had endless wealth and blind worship from the people, and he even lived a more comfortable life than the emperor.
After all, the emperor had censors watching him all the time, and if he made a mistake, he would be corrected by the censors who were willing to risk their lives. But in Yunnan, no one dared to go to the chieftain and say anything. Even if there was, the grass on his grave would be three feet high.
Seeing her speak so bluntly, Xiao Heng burst out laughing: "Yes, so Mu Tong used all means to get to this position, and there is also a group of people who are determined to continue to oppose the court and want to take back this position."
Su Yao already knew about Miss Mu San, and she was silent for a moment.
In her memory of the previous life, Miss Mu San was a chivalrous woman who endured humiliation to avenge her father and brother. She was also a princess who could see the situation clearly and had great love in her heart for the sake of justice.
But perhaps because she lived too short in her previous life, she did not see Miss Mu San's final choice.
She sighed.
Xiao Heng was already acutely aware of her emotional changes, and hesitantly stopped to explain to Su Yao: "I also thought about saving her life, but..."
He knew that Su Yao admired Miss Mu San very much. In the capital, Miss Mu San was able to meet the emperor and find Mu Qinglu with Su Yao's help. However, Miss Mu San's ambition was too big. Someone who took hatred so seriously would not turn back easily.
Moreover, if she did something like this and no one was killed immediately to serve as a warning to the rest, the situation that had just improved would turn into chaos in an instant.
He hoped Su Yao understood that he couldn't take any risks.
Su Yao had already reacted. She looked at the cautious Xiao Heng, and felt touched and angry at the same time. She couldn't help but said, "What kind of fool do you think I am? This kind of thing should be decided immediately. I just felt a little sad. I thought that the moment Miss Mu San went to the capital and was conferred the title of Princess, she clearly understood that she had made a deal with the court. I didn't expect that she didn't mean that."
In fact, if you look from the outside, you would really think that Miss Mu San is a little crazy.
With so many soldiers and horses from the imperial court, it would be fine if both sides were to suffer heavy losses with Mu Tong, but the imperial court's army was already unstoppable. How could she possibly ask the imperial court to agree to let the Mu family continue to rule Yunnan
She just felt it was a pity.
Xiao Heng felt relieved. Seeing her sighing, he could not help but persuade her: "Most people cannot give up power once they have gotten involved. Although Miss Mu San has not become a chieftain, the forces of the old chieftains she has gathered over the years all obey her. She is so good at giving orders, how can she let it go so easily? Rather than saying that she is doing this for the Mu Mansion and the old chieftains, it is better to say that she is protecting herself."
After all, even if Mu Qinglu really became a chieftain, he was a chieftain who was adopted and raised by the imperial prince consort since childhood and received great favors from her aunt. Naturally, he would rely on her aunt in everything.
This topic is really too heavy.
Su Yao didn't want to continue, so he turned to ask Mu Qinglu: "How is he? Before I came, the prince consort said that he didn't worry about anything else, but he raised this child by himself, and he knows his character best. If possible, he just hopes that Your Highness can spare his life."
Xiao Heng told Mu Qinglu about his arrangements.
He also repeated to Su Yao what Mu Qinglu had asked Tang Qingfeng to bring back.
Su Yao finally had a smile on his face: "That's good."
It is really good. Mu Qinglu's identity cannot be changed, but he was able to figure it out and even said these words. It can be seen that he really understands it in his heart and has thought about it countless times. Now that he can figure it out, he will naturally live an easy life in the future.
She laughed: "In that case, the son-in-law's son can go back."
Since Mu Qinglu no longer wants the identity of the Mu family, he will naturally still be Tang Yuan's adopted son. This is the best way. It will allow Mu Qinglu to become the young master of the Tang family again and live a stable and wealthy life. The court will surely be satisfied.
Xiao Heng also smiled: "Yes, I have already written a memorial. As for the matter of Mu Qinglu, I wrote a secret memorial. Grandfather Huang will reply when the time comes."
When the news that Xiao Heng had captured Dali Prefecture reached the court, the cabinet was in an uproar.
Even the usually mature and prudent Prime Minister Yang couldn't help but smile until his face was wrinkled, and praised loudly: "You are really a young talent. Your Highness is really proficient in both civil and military strategies! Good! This battle was fought very well!"
The whole court was discussing this matter. Emperor Yuanfeng was also very happy. When he talked about this with Empress Dowager Tian, he couldn't help but beaming with joy: "I knew this child was excellent, but he was always better than expected! This battle, he really fought beautifully! Dali Prefecture has been in the hands of the Mu Palace for many years, and it is as solid as a rock. I thought it would take several years to conquer Dali, but this child was able to capture it so quickly, and he was so smart and decisive. Now that the Mu Palace is dead, and the court has not become a bad guy, the resistance of the natives to the court has also greatly decreased. It really meets my wishes in every aspect!"
Seeing him blush with joy, Empress Dowager Tian couldn't help but feel relieved too: "The Emperor said before that he might not be able to see his grandson this year, but I think he will come back by the end of this year. Great, great! Emperor, you are really blessed to have such an outstanding grandson. You are indeed a true dragon emperor, and you are blessed by God."
Everyone likes to hear good words, especially since they were said by the Empress Dowager herself. Emperor Yuanfeng breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart, and felt refreshed.
Yes, during his reign, neither the Oirat nor the Japanese pirates had ever wreaked havoc again, the people lived and worked in peace, and now even Yunnan is about to be recovered!
This is a feat that none of his predecessors had accomplished, which shows that God favors him. God also acknowledges that he has done a good job as an emperor and that he is qualified to sit on this throne!
He was extremely happy and said solemnly to Empress Dowager Tian: "Thanks to your good words, when Ah Heng comes back, I will take my family to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to worship our ancestors and let our ancestors see that I have taken Yunnan back!"
