Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1225 It will be a dead end!

The reason why Mujing put so much thought into it was because he was really optimistic about these young people in front of him, they were all seeds.

The seeds of the New Deal.

The New Deal was created by him and Zhaoming Pavilion, mainly due to his thinking and the wisdom of everyone else. He used the thinking beyond the times, plus Hu Zhao, Qin Song, Liu Jin, Xi Zhicai... these people, one by one formulated policies.

On paper, this should be the best.

But as the saying goes, oranges grown in Huainan are oranges, and oranges grown in Huaibei are oranges.

Time is a chasm.

Adaptation is what matters.

Unaccustomed to the environment, good things can also turn into bad results. Even if it is a good medicine, it may eventually become a plate of poison.

But no matter what.

What should be done must be done.

Because if you don't do it, you will never know, right and wrong.

Mu Jing has always been a person whose interests are greater than his face, he doesn't mind making mistakes, he can correct his mistakes, as long as he has the heart, he will always find a way to adapt to this era, but he can change the policies of this era.

Another point is that who will promote the New Deal is also a very important part.

The New Deal is a double-edged sword. If it is used well, it can become a good news for the people. If it is not used well, it will be a disaster for the local people.

Therefore, those who promote the New Deal must accept the New Deal from the bottom of their hearts.

this point is very important.

attitude decides everything.

Those old scholars have already settled their minds. Even if they are forced to promote the New Deal, I am afraid it is just a superficial effort, and they don't care about the results of the New Deal at all.

And these young people are different, they are energetic, they have passion, their greatest advantage is that they can accept new knowledge and new ideas, this is their greatest advantage.

Although these seeds are still very tender, if any great Confucian comes and presses them down, they will all collapse, but as long as the seeds don't fall down, one day they will take root and sprout and stand up.

The New Deal did not happen overnight.

This will be a matter of changing a dynasty. In the next ten years, 20 years, 30 years, or even a lifetime, Mu Jing may have to devote his thoughts to it.

And what stands here today is that he has found a pillar for his New Deal in the future. As long as they can stand firm, they will do a lot in the future.

…………

The night is gradually approaching.

After a day of hustle and bustle, Hongdu Menxue gradually calmed down.

On Zhiming Zhai.

Everyone else withdrew, and Song Shan left Xu Shu and Wei Ji behind.

The students in the college are still too tender, and it is not appropriate to let them participate in some political matters too quickly. After all, Cai Kan and Jiang Wan still have some abilities and vision. Well respected.

But Xu Shu and Wei Ke, in terms of ability, overall perspective, and experience, were able to participate in the affairs of entering the Minghou Mansion.

"How is the situation in Jingzhou?"

It was only then that Mu Jing thought about asking, although reports came back every day, but the written reports were too simple, and he always felt that he couldn't figure out the current situation in Jingzhou.

"Undercurrent surge!"

Xu Shu summed it up in one sentence.

"There will be more undercurrents!"

Mu Jing sneered: "Although Jingzhou has been beaten into ruins, the forces that can hinder us are basically disabled, especially the aristocratic families in Jingzhou. Liu Biao, who they desperately supported at the beginning, has become our The target of the attack, even with the remaining vitality, will never dare to stand up against us now, for fear that he will become the first bird and be uprooted by us in the end!"

"But!" Mu Jing's voice changed: "Our new policy has affected the interests of too many people, and sooner or later they will explode. In their view, if the glory of the family will be gone forever, then their It's better to risk your life, but don't underestimate them. They have been rooted in Jingzhou for so long. If we want to overthrow the regime we established in Jingzhou, they may not have the ability to do so, but they have the ability to burn jade and rock together. If we really let them move , They are certainly going to be destroyed, but Jingzhou will go backwards for more than a hundred years, both in terms of development and population reserves, which is fatal to us!"

"My lord is right. The situation in Jingzhou is very complicated. Even if the advantages we have gained so far have opened up the situation, we can still make the scholars of Shilin cheer for us, but it is still not enough. Although the governors of all states are trying their best to implement the New Deal, But they all have the meaning of being provocative, just not wanting to be too deceptive and force them to have nowhere to go!"

Wei Qi said with a wry smile.

"Whatever you do, you must control it at a certain speed. You can't be too hasty, but you can't be too loose. The rhythm must be controlled by ourselves!" Mu Jing said to Wei Ke: "Nanzhou is a main field. Yan Yan is put there because Yan Yan can hold on, but Yan Yan may not have enough courage in this regard, so I dispatched you back from Chang'an, Bo Ke, your talent has been wasted for too long , Birth is fate, it not only gives you a good start, but also restricts your development, if you don't want Wei to become an obstacle to your future, you have to break through yourself, this will be your battlefield!"

"My subordinates understand!"

Wei Ke strengthened his confidence, and he will fully devote himself to the cause of the New Deal.

"As for Yuanzhi!"

Mu Jing's eyes fell on Xu Shu: "The situation in Xiangzhou is much more complicated than that in Nanzhou. This is a place that has been rebelled, and it is difficult for you to control the situation. As for the new policy, don't worry, you can wait for other things." If you are a good person, you do it again. This is not in a hurry. If you are too tough and persistent, you will lose our original intention of promoting the New Deal!"

"My lord, what do you mean, when the time is right, we can let go of the New Deal first?" Xu Shu was a little surprised when he understood.

"The so-called New Deal is nothing more than the hope that the people will live a better life. If the place is really turned upside down, we people will suffer in the end. Remember, we don't do things that are meaningless. We don't want to take this breath, but absolutely To fight for a principle, the bottom line of the principle cannot be broken!"

What Mu Jing said was somewhat contradictory and complicated, but he believed that Xu Shu could understand it.

Xu Shu's eyes were a little confused at the beginning, but gradually, he could understand what Mu Jing said, and he had a plan for the future in his heart.

"correct!"

Mu Jing suddenly asked: "I seem to have seen Huang Chengyan just now, that old guy is not at ease in Jingzhou, why did he come to Yudu City, looking for abuse?"

Both Wei Ji and Xu Shu were very familiar with Mu Jing, so they understood Mu Jing's rudeness, and just smiled bitterly. Mu Jing really didn't have much respect for these great scholars. Let others hear it, and they will be able to criticize it verbally.

"My lord, I really don't know why Mr. Huang came to Yudu?"

Xu Shu looked at Mu Jing with a half smile but not a smile.

"Should I know?"

Mu Jing was surprised.

"I think the lord should know, but now it seems that the lord really doesn't know!" Wei Ji also looked at Mujing with very strange eyes.

"It has something to do with me?"

Mu Jing's heart skipped a beat.

"This..." The two of them were in a bit of a dilemma. Since Mujing didn't know, if they pierced this layer of window paper, they might offend some people, such as some people in Zhaoming Pavilion. , although Mujing is the lord, if they are missed by the superior directly above, I am afraid that Mujing will not be able to keep them.

"Say!"

Mu Jing let out a low growl.

"There are some rumors in the Shilin of Jingzhou that in order to repair the relationship with the Minghou's mansion and break the gap left between them and the Minghou, they are planning to marry!"

Xu Shu gritted his teeth, and said to Mu Jing: "The nobles of the aristocratic family have been hated by the lord, and it is impossible to rise again in a short time, so the goal of this marriage falls on the Qingliu, in the Qingliu, the boudoir Young girls, only the daughter of Huang Gong!"

"Marriage?" Mu Jing almost spat out a mouthful of blood: "Who passed it on?"

He is not ready for this.

"I don't know about that!" Xu Shu said, "But the rumor that there are eyes and noses, I'm afraid it's groundless, and because of this incident, Jingzhou Shilin's comments on the lord have disappeared. This is tacit approval. , and Huang Gong appeared in Yudu again recently, so this matter is already likely!"

"Shit!"

Mu Jing jumped up against the case, furious: "Hu Kongming, you are really forcing someone to turn against you!"

He doesn't even have to think about it.

In this Nuoda Minghou Mansion, there are not many people who can avoid him to do things. Qin Song and Liu Jin are not enough to watch, and Xi Zhi will not do it. Huang Zhong has no such intentions. As for Cai Yong, he is not so stupid, he finds another woman for his son-in-law, if he dares to do this, he first finds a group of concubines for him, then there is only Hu Zhao who is invulnerable and stubborn.

"Lord!"

Wei Ji looked at Mujing's flushed face, and was a little puzzled: "Actually, this is not a bad thing. Firstly, the lord has no heirs, so it's hard to be at ease. Although the two wives are virtuous, childlessness is a death penalty, and it's hard to be safe." According to public opinion, concubines can stabilize the hearts of the lord and break the unstable situation of the lord without children. Second, marrying the daughter of Duke Huang is equivalent to accepting the surrender of the Jingzhou gentry. This will bring immeasurable benefits to our New Deal. the benefits of……"

"To shut up!"

Mu Jing glanced at him, interrupted his words, and said: "I want to marry so much, so how about you marry?"

"I really want to, but who told me not to be the lord!"

Wei Ke smiled wryly.

"Yuan Zhi!" Mu Jing ignored this bastard, and it didn't make sense to him. He was born in a noble family, and he took this kind of thing too lightly. To him, taking a concubine is as simple as drinking water and eating Naturally, he couldn't figure out why Mujing objected, and Mujing couldn't explain it to him, so he could only look at Xu Shu: "Is there a way to mess this up?"

"My lord wants to interfere with my marriage?"

Xu Shu was speechless.

"No?" Mu Jing was a little nervous.

"It's not impossible!" After all, Xu Shu was more inclined to Mujing's will. Even if he knew that Mujing's doing so was not right in terms of interests, but who made Mujing the lord, he thought for a while and said: "In the final analysis, Hu Changshi made this matter, but Hu Changshi is loyal to the master. When it comes to the root cause, the master has no successors. If you want to mess it up, there are two ways. The first way is two ways. The lady has good news!"

"Disaster!"

Mujing sighed: "You Ji herself is a sage of Qihuang, she doesn't know how many methods she has used, but these years, neither she nor Zhao Ji have achieved anything, maybe it's not their problem, it's my problem! "

In this era, the inability to have children is due to women's stomach problems, but Mujing is very clear that the inability to have children is mostly caused by men.

"Then there is only the second way!"

Xu Shu raised his head, looked at Mujing, and said, "My lord has chosen a successor!"

"You mean adoption?"

Mu Jing frowned.

It's not that he didn't think about it.

But the tail is very long.

Since ancient times, nine out of ten adopted sons will turn against each other. Mujing doesn't know if he will have his own son in the future, but once he has adopted an adopted son and he has his own son again, it will be like provoked by himself in the future. Started a family war, the kind that never dies.

After all, the current him is not an ordinary head of a family, but a prince. Authority is the greatest temptation, a temptation that no one can resist.

"Ok!"

Xu Shu nodded: "The lord can only stabilize the current situation if he has a successor. The lord is the Marquis of Minghou's mansion, and also the king of the southwest. In this southwest land, how many people are staring at the lord's words. One party, the troubled times in the Southwest that have finally come to an end, and some of the stability, are all because of the lord, but people have misfortunes and blessings, and the lord has been fighting on the battlefield for many years. We all hope that the lord will be safe and happy, and live a long life. Who can say for sure, there is no heir, not only the common people, everyone in Minghou's mansion is uneasy, they are all afraid that one day, if there is any accident with the lord, all these will be labeled as prototypes, Southwest It will continue to be chaotic, the world will continue to eat people, this is the human heart, even if you talk about it with a single mouth, it will not be appeased!"

"This is also the reason why Hu Changshi forced the lord to take a concubine!" Wei Ji thought for a while, and he thought it was necessary to advise Mu Jing on this matter, so that Mu Jing could not be too willful: "I know Hu Changshi, he He is not a person who goes beyond his duty, but this matter has forced him to the point of no choice, and even if he wants to do it, he may not dare to do it himself, because he is afraid that the limit will be overstepped, and it will be difficult to restrain his power in the future Therefore, even if he avoids the lord, he must have an accomplice, and this accomplice should be the lord's pillow!"

"The person next to the pillow?"

Hearing this, Mu Jing felt a little confused, his eyes were slightly dark, and his hostility rose. He sat directly on the steps and patted his head vigorously.

This matter, no matter how it is done, seems to be a dead end.

No successor.

This is the Achilles heel of one political group.

Either take a concubine.

Either adoptive.

Neither was what he wanted.

……

After a while, Mu Jing raised his head slightly and looked at the bright moon in the sky. The moon in the sky is a bit round tonight, and the bright moonlight is pouring down, which can stretch people's shadows for a long time...

"This matter is second only to this Zhimingzhai, and it is not allowed to spread a word!"

Mu Jing said a little weakly.

"promise!"

The two nodded. Although this matter involved the entire layout of the Minghou Mansion, it was still Mu Jing's own private matter in the final analysis. As courtiers, they really couldn't blatantly take care of it.

"Now the matter of Jingzhou is imminent, you can't stay in Yudu for long!"

"Tomorrow we will return to Jingzhou!" The two nodded.

There are a lot of things going on in Jingzhou, if Mujing didn't want to summon them, they wouldn't be able to leave. Now that they have been away for a few days, they are all worried that the situation will get out of control, and they must go back as soon as possible. .

"Then the matter of the New Deal, please. There will definitely be great obstacles in Yizhou, and it will be difficult to move forward. We can only see if Jingzhou can quickly stabilize the situation. Only you can stand firm. I can relieve the pressure here!"

Mu Jing stood up, bowed to the two of them, and said: "In my opinion, the New Deal is the foundation of all generations. If it can really benefit the people, it will be smashed to pieces, and I will carry it out to the end. You are my hope. Whether it is For the Minghou Mansion, or for the sake of the common people in the world, please!"

"Treat him like a gentleman of the country, and we will repay you like a gentleman of the country!"

Xu Shu and Wei Ke knelt down and kowtowed in return.
