Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1316 Solicitation
It is not a single thing for Minghou to become king.

Within a few days, something that surprised Mu Jing came from all over the place.

"King Wu, King Yan?"

In the Zhaoming Pavilion, Mu Jing couldn't help laughing: "Cao Mengde, Cao Mengde, you are really courageous. In order to restrict our southwest, he has spent enough money. Not only has he become king himself, but he also dares to treat the king as a Chinese cabbage. Isn't he afraid of leaving a bad reputation forever?"

This is tantamount to restarting the era of Spring and Autumn and Warring States.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty back then, it was because of the expansion and strength of the vassal states that the royal family declined, and the imperial court completely lost the power to shock the people of the world.

Great Qin ruled the world, and the strength of Yingzheng did not allow the emergence of vassal states at all.

After the founding of the Great Han Dynasty, the heroes of the founding of the country were crowned kings one by one, but in the end, Liu Bang also cleaned up one by one, and finally set the rule that only Liu should be crowned king.

The purpose is to prevent the vassal states from expanding.

In the Western Han Dynasty, there were still vassal states, people from the Liu family, and it was fine if one's own family beat one's own family. Anyway, no matter who beats whom, it was the Liu's royal family's business.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, the emergence of the vassal states that Emperor Guangwu directly put an end to made the centralization of power more rigorous. If there were not some foreign relatives and eunuchs in the middle of the chaos, the Eastern Han Dynasty would not have fallen so badly.

This also shows that the system of the Eastern Han Dynasty still had great flaws.

Now Cao Cao coerced the emperor to command the princes. These princes were originally real but not famous. Although everyone knew it, it was another matter to say it.

"Cao Mengde is the one who rejuvenates the great Han, and Cao Mengde is also the one who digs the grave of the great Han!"

Hu Zhao admired Cao Cao's courage. He sat next to Song Shan with a slight wry smile on his face: "Compared with our spirit, Cao Mengde has no scruples. If he can reshape the world, maybe the big man There is still a day of revival, but if one day he can no longer hold back, the great man will be completely buried in history, just like the Great Zhou of the year, the Great Zhou will be destroyed by Qin, that is because he stood up to the orthodox In the future, if the princes along the way want to unify the world, enshrine Mount Tai, become emperor, and change dynasties, they must first destroy the Han Dynasty orthodoxy!"

"I'm afraid Cao Mengde has already been condemned in words and in writing!" Mu Jing was a little delighted.

Cao Cao took the blame, and he founded the country independently.

He won't suffer from this business. Even if Cao Cao brings Jiangdong and Youzhou out to fight him, it doesn't matter. With this name, Southwest can do many, many things.

"Cao Mengde won't mind these things. Like the lord, if he wanted to build his own reputation, he wouldn't have given way to the killing of Confucian scholars in Yanzhou!"

Hu Zhao shook his head: "And now that he is in power, the Central Plains has been stabilized by him, and even the aristocratic families in the Central Plains have been appeased by him. Shilin can't stir up any storms!"

"It doesn't matter!"

Mu Jing smiled and said: "As long as I can cause him a little trouble, I'm already very happy. The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant's nest, and even I had to reconcile with those scholars, and Cao Mengde also carried it." Can't stop, one day he will have to pay the price for his contempt for scholars today!"

Scholars, in this era, have a special status, the status of a master, and the respect and trust of scholars from all over the world is also absolute.

In a village, if there is one person who has studied, then the village will be easily guided by the scholars.

This is how the hearts of the people come about.

If scholars say you are bad, you are bad, and if scholars say you are good, you are good. If you say a hundred words and do a hundred things, it is not as good as a scholar's analysis of them.

Mujing is tough enough, he has done a lot of ransacking of homes, and killed a lot of scholars. The first family among scholars, the Yuan clan known as the four generations and three lords, were all wiped out by him.

And from a bad background.

He has always had a bad reputation in Shilin.

Although he is holding the barrel of the gun, there are always some flaws in the barrel of the pen. Even if he has established a complete trading system and cultivated scholars alone to support the situation, he still cannot reverse the situation in a short time.

At the beginning, Mu Shan tried so hard to force him to marry Cai Yong's daughter, making him Cai Yong's son-in-law, didn't he just want to lay a foundation for him among scholars.

Now he takes Wang Yun's adopted daughter and Jiangxia Huang's daughter as his concubine, isn't it also to ease these relations with Shilin scholars.

Otherwise, it would not be so easy for the Ideological and Political Department to recruit scholars.

So even if Cao Cao became tough for a while, and arbitrarily suppressed the backlash of the entire court, in the end, once there was half a gap in him, he would be backlashed by scholars.

"Kong Ming, tell me, what role is the emperor playing in this matter?" Mu Jing asked suddenly.

"this?"

Hu Zhao couldn't answer.

After a while, he said: "According to the news we know, the emperor may be in the leading position. This is a scene led by the emperor, but I feel that the emperor doesn't seem to have such a heavy city!"

"Liu Xie's city government ability may not be bad at all!"

Mu Jing thought for a while, and said, "It's just bad luck for him!"

"If the Son of Heaven is so scheming, then we have to be more careful. We can't capsize in the gutter. When the time comes to win the fight and win the whole world, the Son of Heaven will plot against us!"

Hu Zhao said.

"It's okay!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "I really hope that he can jump out, but I'm afraid that after this incident, he will shrink back again. The position of the emperor is his shell. Unless Cao Cao wants to become a public enemy, he doesn't have the ability to kill him." Emperor's conditions, naturally I dare not show too much disrespect to the emperor!"

"My lord thinks that the emperor can bear it?"

"Who knows!" Mu Jing smiled and said, "We are just guessing at what level Liu Xie's ability can reach, but Liu Xie's character has been experienced time and time again, from Luoyang to Chang'an, from Luoyang From Chang'an to Xudu, he should understand the current situation. As long as he has enough tenacity and patience, this person can't live in a community, just like that poisonous snake. If it appears, it is not difficult to catch it. It must die, but it hides and does not know when it will bite you, even if it is a tiger or a lion, it may not be able to withstand this strong poison!"

"How do you feel, Cao Mengde is simply causing trouble for himself by coercing the emperor to make the princes?" Hu Zhao narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice.

"This is the way things are in the world. You can never enjoy it alone. If you gain something, you will naturally lose it!"

Mu Jing said: "He, Cao Mengde, coerced the emperor to command the princes, and his status was higher than all of us. He hunted us with a bird's-eye view. He has the innate advantage to start a war, but he is not very easy!"

"Then we really want to go to war?"

Hu Zhao said.

"Eating the bait given by others, why not be fooled!" Mu Jing shrugged: "I have already made Huang Zhong ready. When necessary, the other three independent battalions will be directly pulled north. Not enough, the Divine Guard pulled out two battalions for them!"

At present, in the process of reorganizing the army, the main force of the Shepherd Army can be mobilized, or not, to complete the reorganization, ensure that the instructor system can be implemented in the army, build the ideology of the Shepherd Army, and build the belief of the soldiers. This is the general direction.

Can't mess up.

It is about the fundamental problems of this army in the next ten, decades, or even hundreds of years.

"Maybe we can move troops from the west!"

Hu Zhao thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "We have made a big rectification of the soldiers and horses of our lineage. The general direction cannot be changed, but the second army of Zhaoming and the third army of Zhaoming have not completed the reorganization for a long time. At present, the morale of the army is stable. , you can take it easy!"

"Unless I have to, I still don't want to move!"

Mu Jing thought for a while, and said: "We can't treat everyone equally. In the future, Zhaoming's second army and third army will inevitably lag behind the main force. We must have the awareness of commanding the army from the central government. Otherwise, no matter how strong the troops are, they will be just bandits. The army is not an upright army, rules are very important, if no rules are established, their wildness will be hard to destroy!"

Zhaoming's second army is the Xiliang army.

Zhaoming's third army is the Xiqiang Army.

Whether it's the Xiliang army or the Xiqiang army, these people have been invincible in the northwest for many years, and they are wild and unruly. If there is trouble, it is not impossible for you to make a camp call every now and then.

Therefore, Mujing paid more attention to the rectification of these two troops.

"I'm already planning to let Li Yan go to the western part in person!" Mu Jing said: "If these two soldiers want to be inserted into the instructor, they need a more suitable opportunity, and they need to pay more attention to it than other soldiers! "

The centripetal force of these two soldiers and horses is insufficient, and there may be some troubles, and it will be the opposite, and then the trouble will not be small, but it will affect the development of the entire herding army.

"What about Changsha?"

Hu Zhao asked.

"I have to see if he, Sun Wentai, will retreat. If he doesn't, I will naturally fight him to the death. If he dares to attack me in Changsha at this time, I have the first army of the Violent Bear and the second army of the Violent Bear. The main forces of the two armies are placed There, if I’m really a vegetarian, at worst I’ll let Stormy Xiong Shui go straight in, fight Chaisang first, and fight Jiangdong at all costs, and I can’t lose this!”

Mu Jing said viciously.

If it wasn't for Xu Shu's tenacity and perseverance to gather thousands of mobs to defend Changsha City, I am afraid that Changsha will be lost. Once Changsha is lost, the influence will be bad.

This has touched Mujing's bottom line.

He needs to reorganize the army, so he can bear what he can bear, but there are some things that cannot cross the bottom line. Every village and river has an inch of blood. All the territories under the Minghou Mansion are piled up with blood by sons and daughters. Whoever dares to come will have to fight, there is no other way out.

"In this way, the scale of the battle will inevitably be expanded, but the three armies of the Violent Bear are still close to the fire, and they have not completely completed the standard for the entire army, will they fall short?"

Hu Zhao reminded.

"I can overthrow everything and start over. The big deal is wasting more effort. I can afford to waste, but I can't afford to lose the hearts of the people. Changsha is not a place, but represents the hearts of thousands of people in my Minghou Mansion!"

Mu Jing shook his head, and said in a low voice: "Once Changsha is lost, we will be no different from Liu Biao who abandoned Xiangyang back then. Today we can lose Changsha, tomorrow we can lose Xiling, and then we can lose Wancheng and Xiangyang. This will give many of our people in Jingzhou a little bit of solidarity, creating an illusion that we protect them, then everything we have done these years will be in vain, and all our efforts will be wasted!"

People's hearts, business is difficult, but it is very easy to lose it. A hundred things done well are not as important as doing one thing wrong.

"It makes sense!"

Hu Zhao nodded.

"Let the Privy Council worry about the war. Your current main effort is to establish the Ming Kingdom. The most important thing is that since you are already independent, you must have an independent style!"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes: "The things we hid and covered up in the past can now be done generously, from propaganda, to testing people's hearts, to doing work in general, to establishing the Ming Kingdom, there are many things like this. ah!"

"Ok!"

Hu Zhao nodded: "I was just about to discuss with you whether our kingdom system should be restored along the old system to stabilize people's hearts, or speed up the construction of the New Deal, and implement the New Deal directly in one step!"

The system of the New Deal is completely different from the system of the old dynasty. The old dynasty was dominated by the Sangong Jiuqing, while the New Deal is headed by the Zhaoming Pavilion Council. It is a completely different system.

"People can only go forward, not back!"

A look of determination appeared on Mu Jing's face, and he said: "Even if the road ahead is a mountain of swords and seas of fire, I dare to break through, but if I look back, it is tantamount to seeking my own death. Even if the big man has 400 years of history, he still has a seal in the end. Their system is It can't last long, only a more perfect system can make the orthodoxy last longer, we are walking in the forefront of the times, rather than being held back by history!"

"However, since our founding, there will inevitably be disturbances. How many people have already had great opinions on the Minghou Mansion because of the new policy, but there is no room to attack the Minghou Mansion. Now the founding of the country seems to be ordered by the court. It comes from the holy will, but it does not mean that we can get their approval, they will make speeches in this regard, and we are very likely to be declared as kleptocrats by then!"

Hu Zhao's worry was not without reason.

The implementation of the New Deal has already hurt the interests of many gentry and aristocrats. These people, who can't do anything about Mujing now, are holding a sigh of relief in their hearts, and they still don't come out to make trouble at this time.

This will inevitably bring great obstacles to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. People's hearts will be betrayed and the waves will be ups and downs.

"Let them come!"

Mu Jing's face was very calm and confident: "It was already prepared a long time ago. The establishment of a new dynasty must go through tests, and the completion of new policies also needs tests. I believe that I am right, and I will be able to go through it. The road ahead is dangerous, and they can't stop me!"

At this point, he has already made a lot of preparations.

........................

Yudu Station.

The envoys of the imperial court had completed their missions and the team was about to return. At this time, an imperial edict was suddenly issued, and Mu Jing asked his envoy Zhong Yao to have an audience.

Zhong Yao could only go to see Mujing.

This time, it was not in Zhaoming Pavilion, but in a small pavilion by the river, surrounded by guards of divine guards.

"Master Zhong, are you going back?"

Mu Jing knelt on the bamboo mat, and when a cool breeze blew from the river, the bead curtains around him were blown a little.

"Yes!"

Zhong Yao was polite, neither humble nor overbearing, and knelt down opposite Mujing: "Your Majesty's task has been completed, and it's time to go back and report!"

"Master Zhong, he should be a smart person, he must not be ignorant of his situation!"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhong Yao.

It's a talent.

There is absolutely no simple minister who can leave his name in history.

He likes all talents.

Judging from the current news of Mujing Dezhi, although Zhong Yao's affiliation is still unclear, no matter whether he belongs to the emperor or not, in short, he has done things, and he was obviously thrown out by the emperor as an abandonment It's too late, and there must be no good fruit to eat when he goes back, after all, he has made Cao Cao suffer a lot.

"The little minister is tasked by the imperial court. No matter what happens, he should be responsible to His Majesty and the Prime Minister. As for the situation of the little minister, I am afraid that King Ming will not worry about it!"

Zhong Yao was as calm as ever, like an idiot, but the more he was like this, the more Mu Jing felt that Zhong Yao already knew many things by heart, but he still did it, what was he trying to do?
