I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 829: Planning in advance

Today, Mu Sanniang was stupid. On the surface, she was envious, jealous and resentful, but secretly, she was treated as a chess piece to explore the path, the kind of chess piece that was not taken seriously and could be discarded at any time.

As Liang Gongren said at the time, she and Mu Sanniang were not familiar with each other apart from being of the same clan, so there was no burden on them to abandon her.

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

 Coupled with Xiao Wu’s narration, it makes people think more.

"I went to the Wu family for a banquet today, and people from Wu An said that Liang Gong came from the Mu family in Kyoto. She was a serious noblewoman with strict rules. Mrs. Qian also came from the Mu family, and they share the same ancestry. Although Liang Kyouto said that the two of them were on the fifth server and that they were not familiar with each other before, but I didn’t think so."

If he, a newly appointed number one scholar, were to antagonize Mu, it would undoubtedly be an ant that would overwhelm an elephant, but not on the same level.

Hearing Xiao Wu’s thoughts, Bai Yunxi nodded. Soldiers who don’t want to be generals are not good soldiers. Only those who are ambitious can be motivated.

"Starting tomorrow, you will go out of the mansion to look around, check out where there are good temples and temples around the city, and bring back some good-natured and spiritual children. Xiaowu has left the official career, and we have to prepare the manpower. Get up in case of emergency.”

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

"For no reason, why do others bother to do this? We already know it now, we just need to take precautions and seize the opportunity,"

Baiyunxi supported his head and chuckled lightly,

"Of course, you should also pay attention to the methods when training people. After all, everyone's physique and foundation are different. You should teach students in accordance with their aptitude. If you can't be a secret guard, you can be an ordinary servant. Pay more attention to the little girls. As long as you have a flexible mind, you can bring them back and raise them. Come on, cultivate it and prepare it for Yaya."

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

If the old prime minister has not yet found a candidate, it is reasonable to be on guard against Hanlin Academy bachelors, lest others take advantage of the loopholes.

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

As for Baiyunxi's proposal, Wenyou naturally has no meaning?

"Training secret guards is not something that happens overnight, and it has to be secretive. I wonder what Aunt Bai has planned?"

Bai Yunxi looked at Xiao Wu's incomprehensible eyes and couldn't help but make a joke.

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 is spread, it will be called frivolous.

"When my son was in Kyoto, I also had a rough understanding of it. During this period, my senior brother also explained a lot to me. There are four ancient families in Kyoto, and the Mu family is one of them. The other families all enjoy noble titles, and only the head of the Mu family is here He holds the position of prime minister in the court and has many disciples. Such a person should have little contact with his son."

"What mother said is absolutely true. My senior brother told me before I returned. In the future, he will contact me through letters about practical matters in Kyoto. As for the Mu family, my son will ask my senior brother to pay special attention to them, no matter what their purpose is." , I won’t let them get their wish 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 seventy. . It seems that the old prime minister has been away from retirement for a few years... During this period, he must take care of his health and avoid illness or disaster, otherwise he will have to be recuperated in advance.

“Aunt Bai wants me to train some secret guards and dead soldiers?”

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

 It would be easier to deal with them if they knew who was hostile to them.

 Two hundred five. Two hundred and thirty-four. One hundred and forty-six. Seventy-five

"If you are determined, you have to work hard. There are many obstacles on the road ahead, so you need to be cautious. Although you don't have to take one step and look at ten steps, you can still look at three steps. Today, Mu Sanniang made a difficult statement, but I didn't take it to heart. Tracing back to the source, the key point still lies in you. Maybe there is something fearful about you that attracts others to test you."

 If a girl has a secret guard by her side, it can reduce a lot of trouble. Besides, there will be more and more children in the family in the future, so we should be prepared.

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

Of course, the talents they recommend, in addition to the clan members, are the disciples they have trained.

Having passed the exam, all you have to do is plan well and remove some obstacles when necessary.

"As a monarch, when you recruit talents from all over the world, you naturally want to make them loyal to the monarch and the court. This is the original intention of the imperial court to set up scientific examinations. Anyone who is elected to the Hanlin Academy will be subordinate to the emperor's ministers. Entering the Hanlin and becoming a Hanlin bachelor is also a poor family. The dream of a young man. Just like you, don’t you want to enter the Hanlin Academy?”

“What my mother said is true, the palace in my son’s heart is to be a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and become a close minister of the emperor.”

Wenyou was stunned after hearing Bai Yunxi's instructions.

At the moment, it seems that the two families have no intersection, but what about in the future? If there is a collision, no one will be caught off guard.

No wonder the elder brother looked hesitant when he talked about entering the Imperial Academy. He thought that the elder brother had something to hide that was difficult for him to tell, so he didn't ask at that time.

“In the future, pay more attention to the news about the Mu clan in Kyoto, and understand it properly in case of emergencies.”

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

The more class-conscious an era is, the harder it is to work your way up. Only by standing tall can you protect yourself and your family. It is always the people at the bottom who suffer and suffer from poverty.

After finishing talking about the serious business, they changed the subject. The mother and son chatted a few more about home affairs, and then Baiyunxi sent Xiao Wu back to rest.

Hearing Xiao Wu’s tone and thoughts, Bai Yunxi blinked.

"That's not necessarily the case. The aristocratic families have deep and intertwined roots. Even if dynasties change, they can still stand firm. The court is also very afraid of these clans. In order to appease them, the court mostly grants titles and descends hereditary. Moreover, these people also have recommendations. He has the right to directly recommend talents to the imperial court."

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

Father-in-law once said that clan and imperial power are always antagonistic. They have the same goal, to develop and strengthen their strength, but their purposes are different. One is to safeguard the interests of the clan, and the other is to consolidate imperial power.

“You can take the money and go to Beicheng to choose a remote courtyard. It’s bigger and more spacious. It won’t arouse suspicion if there are many people.”

The layout of the city during this period was mostly the same, divided into four districts: east, west, north and south. The east part of the city belonged to the commercial street, and the south part of the city was the government office, which was also the residence of officials and their families. The west side of the city is what the rich see as slums, and is inhabited by ordinary people.
