Mu Tianbo did not send anyone to follow Wang Guoxing to investigate his whereabouts.
It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he doesn't dare.
Once discovered by Jin Yiwei and brought to Chongzhen, the Duke of Guizhou, which has been passed down for more than two hundred years, is likely to be deprived of his title.
The Mu family is indeed loyal, but that doesn't mean they have no temper.
Jin Yiwei's arrogant look made him feel a little conflicted. ?.?????.ℂ??
While Wang Guoxing went to Chuxiong, Mu Tianbo found Yu Xipeng, the steward of the Duke of Guizhou's mansion.
The butler here is not a butler in the traditional sense.
Traditional housekeepers are only responsible for handling household affairs and do not serve in the court.
Yu Xipeng was different. He had an official position.
According to existing information, his position is the Commander of the Yunnan Capital Envoy Department (if you have any doubts, please leave a message if you know).
Responsible for helping Mu Tianbo deal with the relationship between the chieftains.
Yu Xipeng was called a traitor in "The Chronicles of the Ming Dynasty". Because he owed Mu Tianbo tens of thousands of taels of silver and could not repay it, he took advantage of the opportunity of contact with Sha Dingzhou to deliberately reveal the wealth of Prince Mu's palace to him.
He also told him in a subtle way that the wealth originally belonged to their local tribe and had been robbed by the Mu Prince's palace.
If the root cause of the Shapu Rebellion was that the Ming Dynasty returned to the country, then the direct reason was that Yu Xipeng deliberately exposed his wealth to make the local chieftains ready to take action.
In fact, Yu Xipeng had no chance to rise to the top.
Mu Tianbo was only ten years old when he inherited the title and knew nothing.
It was all thanks to the housekeeper at the time, Ruan Chenglin, who helped take care of the interior and exterior.
Ruan Chenglin is smart, capable, honest and impartial, and is best at handling the relationships between chieftains.
During the more than ten years that he helped deal with it, all the chieftains in Yunnan were at peace with each other, and the whole of Yunnan was peaceful.
It's a pity... Yu Xipeng deliberately framed him in order to fight for power with Ruan Chenglin.
Mu Tianbo felt that he had grown up and his wings had become stronger, and he no longer needed Ruan Chenglin as before.
So he was ordered to be executed.
After Ruan Chenglin's death, Yu Xipeng became the steward of Prince Mu's Mansion and gained some real power.
When Yu Xipeng saw Mu Tianbo, he bowed deeply and said, "Duke Mu is looking for me?"
"Well," Mu Tianbo nodded and handed him the message from Jin Yiwei: "Check whether the information is true or false."
Yu Xipeng was shocked after reading the news, but he replied calmly: "I'll go check it out now."
After leaving Prince Mu's Mansion, Yu Xipeng sent two groups of people.
One group of people went to Yuanmou in disguise to check on Wu Bikui, while the other group of people went to see Sha Dingzhou with Yu Xipeng's secret message.
Six days later, the first wave of people returned to Fucheng, Yunnan.
"To Duke Mu, the news is true. Wu Bikui indeed has the intention to rebel!" Yu Xipeng said to Mu Tianbo.
"What?" Mu Tianbo was shocked after hearing this: "How dare he do it?"
"Now that the matter is over, Duke Mu, don't worry about why he rebelled. The top priority is to mobilize troops to prepare for the rebellion." Yu Xipeng showed a loyal look.
"Indeed," Mu Tianbo nodded solemnly, then sat on a chair to think about countermeasures.
Not long after, he had an idea: "Immediately release the news, saying that Li Chuang's army of thieves left Hanzhong in three groups, preparing to attack Chengdu from Jinniu Road and Bazhong from Micang Road.
