Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1344 It's the end of another year
Cao Cao sighed, and said: "It seems that we can only kill chickens to scare monkeys!"

He wants peace.

But there are always people who want to challenge his endurance, so don't blame him for being cruel.

"These people dance so happily, I'm afraid it's not just that they underestimate the lonely king. In today's Central Plains, Gu dare not say that the world is invincible, but with heavy soldiers in his hands, he can kill whoever he wants. No matter how hard his bones are, he can't stop him." Can't hold Gu's knife, if no one backs them up, how dare they provoke Gu?"

Cao Cao's keenness is not the slightest bit. He has already noticed something wrong since he heard about it, and in this Xu capital city, in the Central Plains, those who dare to play tricks on his eyelids count and count. one already.

"Your Majesty Yingming!"

Xun Yu smiled wryly.

He is the most uncomfortable one.

Sandwiched between the emperor and Cao Cao, he wanted both the emperor to be good and Cao Cao to revitalize the Han Dynasty, but many things were just his wishful thinking.

The emperor has no virtue, and has become famous all over the world.

If it's just that he has no virtue, then that's all. For the sake of all beings in the world, and for the Han Dynasty, he can also assist a hero-like figure.

But not only immoral, but also incompetent.

This made Xun Yu more and more disgusted.

In the current situation of the emperor, what he should do most is to keep a low profile and recuperate. It is best to be able to admit defeat in front of Cao Cao. Without Han Xin's courage to endure humiliation, how can he talk about revitalizing the Han Dynasty.

Knowing how powerful Cao Cao is, he is still so head-on. Does it really mean that Cao Cao can't see his little tricks?

"Don't flatter the lonely king. You have already thought of what I can think of, but you keep appeasing again and again. Is it stupid loyalty, or is it a situation that you can't see at all?"

Cao Cao asked Xun Yu seriously.

Wang Zuozhi, this is a person who can help him achieve great things, but his mentality is unstable, and he is always a ticking time bomb.

A talented person must have a heart.

Xun Yu's heart fluctuates, which is the biggest problem.

"It's the minister who has failed the king's entrustment!"

Xun Yu knelt down, folded his hands and accepted the crime: "I am willing to lead the punishment!"

"Wen Ruo, have you ever thought about one thing!" Cao Cao sighed, with a look of disappointment in the corner of his eyes. He had given Xun Yu too many opportunities, and Xun Yu was always in such a position. Sooner or later, he will come to the opposite side: "If this battle is lost alone, is there still a big man in the world?"

"Why don't you know that the world is the king, and you can rejuvenate the Han Dynasty!"

Xun Yu also sighed, but his expression was very tenacious: "But the emperor is the world after all. Since the king welcomes the world, he should respect the way of a courtier. Unless the king wants to usurp the throne, the king will always be your majesty." Your servant, Your Majesty can be wrong, but Your Majesty cannot be wrong!"

"You are very thoughtful about Gu!"

Cao Cao took a deep look at Xun Yu, and he already felt that no matter what he did, he might not be able to change Xun Yu's loyalty to the Han Dynasty.

He never thought of seeking to usurp the throne.

Even for the rest of his life, he will not sit on the position of the emperor, and will always be the minister of the great man.

But with him in the court for a day, there cannot be a second voice. This is his domineering. I would rather bear the people of the world than the people of the world.

Even if that is the Son of Heaven.

Or, that person is Wang Zuozhi, the talent he values ​​and relies on the most, who is in charge of the government affairs of the Central Plains with one hand, supports the army's logistics for him, and stabilizes Wang Zuozhi's talent Xun Wenruo in the backyard.

Will not work.

Once there, such a person will disappear in front of him sooner or later.

……

This conversation broke up unhappy.

After Xun Yu left, Cao Cao sat in the lobby, put his hands on the brazier and gently roasted, but his thoughts wandered far, far away.

No matter how much he hated Xun Yu, under the current situation, he would definitely not touch Xun Yu.

The world is unstable.

Xun Yu had to live.

As for the Son of Heaven?

The corner of his mouth, inadvertently, outlines a cold smile, it's time to teach the emperor a lesson, otherwise he really doesn't know who is in charge of this court.

"Come on!"

"exist!"

"Hurry up at [-] miles, let Yelou Zhonglang general Jia Wenhe come back to see Gu immediately!"

"promise!"

The personal guard took the order and left.

The lobby was quiet, and Cao Cao's voice as cold and icy as he said to himself: "It's not Gu who is cruel and merciless, but you forced Gu to do so. There is nothing I can do about it!"

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

The time of the twelfth lunar month passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, there were not a few days until the end of the year.

The new year is also approaching.

In this chaotic world, people die every day, and the theme song of war has always enveloped the time of this era. In the eyes of many people, one year old is one year old.

So when we welcome the new year, sometimes we are glad that we have lived through this year safely.

The city of Yudu has already begun to decorate with lanterns and festoons.

Compared with the wars outside, Yudu has a sense of peace and prosperity. After all, Yudu has not seen wars for many years. The weather is smooth and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

The alternation between the end of the year and the new year is a custom. To remove the old year and welcome the new year, in the eyes of many people, this represents the beginning of a new life. As long as you have the ability, you should celebrate it. things.

Countless children, who have already begun to put on the new clothes that adults have cut for themselves, happily walk on the streets. The streets and alleys are filled with this kind of lively atmosphere.

Compared with the common people, the Ming Palace is much busier. There are two large mangers on the left and right sides of the Ming Kingdom Building, where the carriages are parked. Obviously, there are quite a lot of carriages and horses coming in and out.

At the end of one year old.

For the court of the Ming Dynasty, it will be a summary, and for the local government, it will also be a summary that needs to be reported.

Officials in the Ming Dynasty were not so easy to do.

As the saying goes, a raging soldier will be a raging pot.

Mu Jing put forward a belief in parental officials, and his invincible ruling declaration has become a style from top to bottom, spreading throughout the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Family background, literary talents, etc., are no longer the most sought after by those grassroots officials.

It is more a requirement of political performance.

The department of the Ministry of Officials has begun to continuously improve, not only to enlist personnel to serve as officials, but also to have the power to inspect the incumbent officials.

Four years is a cycle.

If the incumbent official fails to pass the performance inspection of the Ministry of Officials, that official will be directly suspended from his official position.

This is one of the new policies.

In fact, many people are against it.

But Mu Jing's toughness, coupled with Qin Song, a good old man, swayed and personally supervised, and the officials from top to bottom were implementing this policy.

Therefore, at the end of the first year, the Ministry of Officials is the busiest, and will even conduct investigations on the governor, deputy governor, long history, chief secretary, etc. of each state.

Similarly, the household department is even more busy.

In the one-year settlement, starting from taxation, all income and expenditures must be recalculated and posted. If this account is not clear, no one wants to celebrate the New Year this year.

Similarly, the Privy Council is also very busy, and the things at the end of the year may not be able to be completed by recruiting ten or eight Privy Envoys.

Just one point, the matter of defense has been copied to the limit.

This defense is not only a matter of the Privy Council, but also has nothing to do with every military department. The position guarded by the troops needs to be linked to the actual situation.

The Privy Council deliberated for a long time, and finally decided that before the spring of next year, all military officers and generals should be invited back to the Privy Council to discuss and make a decision.

The Political Affairs Hall, the Privy Council, the Yushitai, and other departments are all very busy now. They all hope to do the work that should be done well before the end of the year, at least to be able to welcome the new one well. One year old arrives.

Therefore, Mu Jing was also forced to work overtime every day. He didn't want to, but as the monarch of the Ming Dynasty, seeing his subjects so busy, he was embarrassed to keep the time after get off work every day to go home and warm the bed.

In the final analysis, it is still the difference between an aspiring monarch and a foolish monarch who only wants to eat, drink and have fun, greedy for enjoyment, and has no sense of responsibility.

Mujing can't say that Jianjian must be a very good Mingjun, he doesn't even think that he will leave himself with a good reputation in history.

But he was indeed an aspiring monarch.

From his background as a bandit to today's position as a prince, Mu Jing relied on his own ambition to make it through, and he survived how many times he almost collapsed because he still had ambition.

End this chaotic world and create a different prosperous world.

It is best to promote the development of the times.

For many people, this is just a slogan that comes out of the mouth, but for Mu Jing, when he has this ability and strength, his slogan naturally becomes an ambition.

Before the end of the year, he was obedient, clocking in half an hour early every day, and had to work overtime for at least one or two hours at night before returning to the backyard with his tired body.

Being so busy, it is natural to do business.

He had to attend the end-of-year summary meetings of various ministries, not only in person, but also to listen carefully, and sometimes to give some developmental opinions.

In addition, the army is also needed. The army pays attention to the spirit of the army. Only when the army is surrounded by the spirit of the army can it be regarded as an excellent monarch.

For a high-ranking monarch, there are not many opportunities to gain the hearts of the soldiers. The end of the year is an opportunity. Take advantage of this opportunity to inspect the military headquarters of each army, visit the bottom in person, show that you have fun with the soldiers, get close to them, and let them get close For myself, this can bring in a lot of sense of distance.

These things alone have given Mujing 24 hours a day, which is not enough.

But for my own position, to be able to sit firmly, even if it is a little bit harder and tiring, it is something I can't help, and I have to do it anyway.

Especially now that both government affairs and military affairs are running through the New Deal. It is still unknown what kind of changes the emergence of the New Deal will bring.

In local areas, the emergence of new policies means that the old policies will lose their effect. The old policies represent the interests of a large number of people, and their interests will be damaged.

Therefore, although the New Deal is strongly implemented at the top, it must be implemented, but at the bottom, there is always a feeling of stalemate, and there is no way to completely penetrate it.

The same situation also happened in the military.

A brand new system of instructors has caused the various military departments to be overwhelmed. Most of the instructors are from the background of scholars. It's not that Mujing doesn't want to use those loyal soldiers.

Only scholars can comprehend that kind of spiritual realm, and the existence of knowledge can create a belief. This is something that people with too low a culture cannot comprehend. The only way is for scholars to comprehend first, and then slowly teach them.

Scholars and those in the army who don't know a few big characters eat together, which will naturally cause a lot of trouble. They are not a family, and if they don't enter a family, for the soldiers in the army, the instructor is an outsider.

In the past two months, conflicts between instructors and subordinates have become commonplace, and the military police of the Military Justice Department have never stopped.

Even during this period, there were several murders.

The soldiers in the army fought decisively on the battlefield, and when they got angry, they didn't know how to be in awe at all, because they had already developed an aura of fighting with their lives on the battlefield.

So when you start your hands, there are no minor or serious ones, not to mention hurting people, and even wrong hands that caused the death of several military instructors.

In this matter, Mu Jing even did not hesitate to show his position of defending the Ideological and Political Department, directly at the meeting of the Privy Council, emphasizing the need for severe punishment, the military law cannot be abolished, and those who violated the military law can be lightly forgiven if their military merits cannot be represented.

In his view, since he wants to apply this kind of thinking in the army, he must not be lenient. You can accept it or not. What I need is an army with discipline and faith.

So this incident almost caused panic in the army.

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

It was snowing all day again, standing on the French windows on the ninth floor of Mingguo Building, Mu Jing was holding a cup of hot tea, the tea smelled very strong, and he took a sip after smelling it.

A sip of tea relieved a lot of his tense mood.

Chinese New Year is a good day, but Chinese New Year is not so easy.

In the past two days, he inspected the Jingping First Army and found many problems. The implementation of the New Deal still led to chemical changes in many things.

It worried him.

Will the Ming army regain its absolute combat effectiveness in the coming year?

At this time, he didn't have much confidence in his heart.

"Your Majesty!"

Tan Zong did not know when he appeared behind Mu Jing.

"Two legs are inconvenient. Walking up to the ninth floor won't be tiring!" Mu Jing turned around.

"There is a circular ladder!"

Tan Zong smiled and replied, "The wheelchair can come up if one person pushes it behind!"

The circular ladder is a special construction of Mujing. It is like those parking lots on the roof. The circular rotation can drive the car up instead of taking the stairs.

It stands to reason that the carriage can come up.

But it was too much work.

For the construction of the Ming Dynasty Building, Mujing put a lot of effort into imitating the style of many future constructions, regardless of whether the facilities are useful or not, they should be completed first.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Minguo Building is the most advanced and great building in today's world.

"Something happened!"

Mu Jing asked.

"Some things may happen in Xudu recently, I have to come and report to the king!"

"Xu Du?" Mu Jing narrowed his eyes.

"Cao Cao is back!"

Tan Zong just said a simple sentence, but Mu Jing understood a lot. If you want to fight against the outside world, you must first settle down inside. Cao Mengde is about to start a massacre, but he doesn't know who will bear the brunt of it.
