Chapter 543 We should not force anything
As soon as the two returned to their residence, Mo Jiuye couldn't wait to ask: "Ran Ran, why did you leave hope for Nan Yu just now?"
He Zhiran suddenly had this idea when Nan Yu spoke just now. It was not surprising that he didn't know his wife's intentions.
"Husband, have you ever thought about making the Northwest your own territory?"
"You mean the prince's fiefdom?" Mo Jiuye found this a little unbelievable. Not to mention that he had never thought about this problem, as far as Dashun was concerned, let alone a king of a different surname, even a royal prince had never had the idea of getting a fiefdom.
Although He Zhiran was not a native here, she knew from the history she had learned that since the founding of the Dashun Dynasty, no prince had ever been granted a fiefdom.
Even the once famous Prince Yong'an had never had such an honor.
"My dear husband, think about this. We, the Mo family, now live a stable life in the northwest. We have no shortage of money, let alone ways to earn it. What is the only thing we lack?"
There is nothing wrong with this, and Mo Jiuye will not avoid this answer.
At the same time, he also thought of many questions, such as those that He Zhiran had just thought of.
"Ran Ran, you mean that if my Mo family returns to the court, the condition is to have a fiefdom of our own?"
The most gratifying thing about He Zhiran marrying Mo Jiuye is that he understands her, knows what she is thinking, and can see through it immediately.
"Here's what I think..."
He Zhiran told Mo Jiuye the idea he had just formed, and then stared at him.
She was not asking Mo Jiuye to do what she said, but to completely give the initiative of this decision to the other party.
If Mo Jiuye still doesn't want to, she won't try to persuade him anymore.
Mo Jiuye did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought. After a long time, he spoke:
"Ran Ran, do you think Emperor Shunwu will agree to our request?"
He Zhiran was quite confident about this. What's more, if Emperor Shunwu did not agree, they could just return to the northwest and live as ordinary people in peace.
"You should know more about government affairs than I do. It seems that the barbarians are invading, but think about the southern border. They have always been eyeing the Dashun territory. Once they hear that the barbarians are attacking Dashun, how can they give up this good opportunity to attack from both sides together with the barbarians?
Emperor Shunwu was incompetent and might not have thought so much, but Nanyu was different. He was far-sighted and how could he not be aware of the interests involved?
Once the barbarians and southern Xinjiang attacked Dashun together, Dashun could be said to be attacked from both sides, and there was no general in the court who could command the three armies. It goes without saying what Dashun would face at that time.
If my husband agrees with me, when I meet Nanyu later, I will propose the conditions for the Mohist School to return to the court. If he disagrees, I will also explain the future interests clearly.
I just don't believe that with Nanyu's cleverness, he wouldn't be able to figure out the gains and losses involved.
Besides, dividing the western border into our fiefdom does not mean that Emperor Shunwu is asked to cede territory. From the surface, the northwest is still under the jurisdiction of Dashun.
The only difference is that there is a master who can lead a new life.
With the fiefdom, we can also raise troops with justification, and no one can say there is anything wrong with it.
Besides, we have no intention of betraying Dashun. We just want to provide an extra layer of security for our family's lives.
Of course, as time goes by, this may cause some superiors to be wary.
However, even if there is fear, it will probably be many years later.
By that time, our wings will be fully grown, and we will also have weapons with extremely high lethality, such as bombs. No matter who wants to touch our Mo family, I am afraid there will be no return."
He Zhiran's meaning was very clear. We in the Mohist school just want to live a peaceful and stable life. As long as you don't do those shameful things, we will not do anything to threaten Dashun.
Once the imperial court has any inappropriate thoughts, the Mohist school will be fully empowered, so what if they rebel against the Great Shun?
Of course, this was just a way out that He Zhiran thought of. In her and Mo Jiuye's minds, they had never planned to do anything like rebellion.
However, everyone has a bottom line, and the bottom line is that the imperial court will not have any inappropriate thoughts about the Mohist school.
As long as no one touches this bottom line, they will choose to live a stable life in the northwest, and even serve as an important barrier to resist the invasion of barbarians in the west.
Mo Jiuye felt more and more that what He Zhiran said made sense.
"In that case, let's confront Nanyu directly. In short, we should adopt a non-compulsive attitude."
Of course, He Zhiran didn't think of forcing it.
"Okay, let's go find him now."
When Nan Yu saw the two people turning back, he suddenly felt overjoyed.
"Mr. Nine, Madam Nine, you agree, right?"
"Third Prince, we can consider this matter, but only if you agree to one condition."
"Tell me what your conditions are. Don't even mention one. Ten conditions are fine as long as you can come back."
This was the first time that Nan Yu acted so uneasy in front of the two of them, which showed his eagerness to recruit talented people.
Mo Jiuye smiled faintly and said, "I won't beat around the bush with the Third Prince, and I only have one condition.
The third prince just said that if I, the Mo family, return to the court, he can grant me the throne.
I have no objection to this, but the premise is that I intend to claim the northwest region as my fiefdom. As long as this request is met, the Mo family father and son will immediately put on their armor and go into battle."
Now that Nan Yu is in power, Mo Jiuye no longer intends to hide the news that all the men in the Mo family are alive from him.
Before he approached Nan Yu about the matter of making the northwest his fiefdom, he was already completely certain that the other party would agree.
By that time, every one of the Mo family father and son will be exposed. Instead of waiting until then, it is better to let Nan Yu know earlier, which can also show his sincerity.
Nan Yu listened attentively and was indeed shocked by his words.
If it was said that several of Mo Jiuye's brothers had come back to life, he knew something about it, but what did Mo Jiuye just say?
He said that the Mohist father and son would go into battle in armor.
What does this mean?
It means that the old Duke of Mo is still alive.
It's simply an incredible feeling.
Nan Yu hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask.
"Ninth Young Master, you just said that the Mo family father and son put on armor and went into battle. What exactly did you mean by that?"
Since Mo Jiuye chose to speak it out, he had no intention of hiding it.
He briefly recounted the story of how all the Mohist men were alive and how they were found.
After hearing this, Nan Yu felt truly sympathetic towards Mo Jia's plight.
“I never thought that the Mo family, a family full of loyal and honest people, would encounter so much.”
