Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

1499 The time has come
Mu Jing walked out of the cabin, crossed the deck, and walked onto the pier. His tall and tall body was revealed in the eyes of countless Ming people.

"It's King Ming!"

"When I saw Wang Qi, I thought it should be King Ming, and indeed it was King Ming!"

"Ming Wang is back from the front line!"

"..."

The people began to get excited. The whole pier was already full of people, but now it seemed even more crowded. The surrounding people began to crowd toward the pier densely.

"Ming Wang Fukang!"

"Long live King Ming!"

Many people have already started to kneel down, shouting and saluting.

Looking at this scene, Mujing's eyes were a little moist. Although he held back his tears, he felt an indescribable touch and a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

That's right, satisfaction.

He believed that today's scene was not deliberately arranged by them, but a natural reaction of these people after they met him.

It is a rare achievement to be able to be trusted and respected by the people.

As the king of the Ming Dynasty.

These are his people.

It is the satisfaction of a king to be supported by his own people.

"Everyone is up!" Mu Jing cleared his throat, walked up in person, and the few people who helped them up said loudly: "I'm sorry for disturbing everyone who came back today. The loss on the pier is counted on Gu's head. Come on, you don’t need to crowd here anymore, go do what you should do!”

"Ming Wang Renyi!"

Sometimes an image comes out of management, Mujing's management is really good, at least his few simple words moved many people.

This puts Mujing in a dilemma, he finally manages to play a more benevolent role, so he can't forcefully open a way.

And with Ma Chao by his side, he was also worried, his eyes scanned the surroundings, keeping a close eye on everyone who wanted to get close to Mujing. After all, being Mujing's guard was not an easy matter.

drive drive drive! ! ! ! !
At this time, a cavalry appeared in the distance.

The uniforms they wore were different from the costumes of the soldiers of the Ming army. The black uniforms did not represent armor, but represented the six-door policemen who maintained order.

"Listen everyone, get out of the way!"

The leading cavalry leader reined in his horse, quickly jumped off his horse, and then began to roar.

"Don't mess up!"

"Everyone stay where they are, don't run around!"

Hundreds of cavalrymen, all of whom were arresting the six gates, quickly formed two teams after dismounting. While maintaining order, they cleared the road in the middle.

The leader of the cavalry came over and saluted: "Six-Fanmen Yudu Yamen, hurry up, Yueming, and see the King!"

"No need to be polite!"

Mujing helped him up.

He knew that Yue Ming had a lesser surname. He was a member of the Wuxi barbarian tribe, but he had left the tribe in the early years. He was a ranger and was valued by Zhang Huo later. He was thrown into the Wubei Hall for two years. , has been brought by my side, and educated as a half-disciple.

Being able to serve as the most important Yudu Chief Detective of the Six Doors, he knew his position in Zhang Huo's heart. He was not a person who was generally trusted, and Zhang Huo would not follow him into this place.

"Your Majesty, although the city is safe and sound, we still have to be careful. We were arresting the enemy's spies a while ago, but we caught quite a few of them. There should be some who slipped through the net!"

Yue Ming said: "This subordinate is willing to escort the king into the city!"

Yue Ming is good at martial arts. He was born as a ranger, and later learned from Zhang Huo. He is only half a step away from the Yuangang realm, and he is good at using a thin sword. His sword moves are rather weird. Even ordinary Yuangang warriors have It may be at a disadvantage in his hands.

"It's work!"

Mujing is not afraid of being assassinated, but afraid of being intercepted by the people along the way. The people become enthusiastic. In fact, there are not many killings with fans. You can’t get hurt or scolded. A lot of trouble.

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

The Ming Palace is located in the northwest corner of Yudu. This relatively backward place has become prosperous because of the establishment of the Ming Palace.

Everyone wants to get closer to the Ming Palace. The Ming Palace is the most majestic building in Yudu. Where is the towering tower, it is like the spiritual pillar of the Ming Kingdom.

Moreover, Mujing is different from many kings. Kings sometimes pay attention to prestige, so they make their palaces serious, and people are not allowed to live within any distance.

Mujing didn't mind, so the land nearby became the most valuable land in Yudu, but even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.

How many aristocratic families want to build a house next to the Ming Palace, and the Feng Shui of this family has lasted for thousands of years.

Mu Jing walked all the way in the light of attention. Fortunately, there were six gates to maintain order, and the guards escorted him back. Otherwise, in his situation, he might not be able to enter the city smoothly.

Seeing this Ming palace again, he felt a little like a lifetime away.

The time for the expedition was not long, only a few months, but after this battle, he felt that the time had passed so long that he almost couldn't hold it anymore.

"Chen Hu Zhao!"

"Minister Liu Jin!"

"minister……"

A large group of officials, led by Hu Zhao and others, gathered in front of the Ming Palace to greet Mu Jing's return, and shouted in unison: "Welcome Your Majesty to return to the court!"

"Welcome the king's class teacher to return to the court!"

"Welcome the king's class teacher to return to the court!"

"Welcome the king's class teacher to return to the court!"

Hu Zhao and other officials started to shout, and then the nearby people also started to boo, and then it continued to spread, and many people spontaneously shouted, and suddenly the whole city of Yudu seemed to be echoing these words.

Mu Jing couldn't help but wryly smiled, Hu Zhao was trying to show him off first, or put on a high hat first, anyway, he was uneasy and well-intentioned.

This guy killed first and then played, and arranged the matter of proclaiming the emperor, probably because he was afraid that he would have a grudge in his heart, so he added some prestige to himself under such an occasion.

This time, the entire Yudu would involuntarily have a good impression of himself, the entire King Ming.

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

Under the crowd, Mu Jing entered the Ming palace.

After climbing up to the eighth floor, Mu Jing felt a little regretful at this time, why build a nine-story building in this era without elevators, isn't it his own fault?

Prestige is indeed majestic, but climbing seven or eight floors of stairs every day is no longer a physical exercise, it is simply a brilliant body.

The ninth floor is Mujing's private site, and the eighth floor is Zhaoming Pavilion, where Zhaoming Pavilion's meetings are held, and there are separate rooms where each cabinet minister's office is located.

Although they all have their own official offices, here, each of their cabinet ministers has their own office, and they are accompanied by civil servants.

"sit down!"

The rest of the people dispersed, Mu Jing took the lead to sit down, glanced at the two vacant seats, and asked, "Xi Zhicai hasn't come back yet?"

Among the several cabinet ministers, Huang Zhong and Xi Zhicai were missing.

Huang Zhong must stay in Nanzhou. After the war, there are too many places to clean up, and the capture of Runan must prevent Jiangdong and Yuzhou from counterattacking.

Huang Zhong will not be able to return to Yudu for at least half a month.

But with Zhang Liao and Xi Zhicai in the northern border, it should not be difficult for Xi Zhicai to escape. It is impossible for them not to inform Xi Zhicai of such a big matter as becoming emperor.

"Already on the way!" Hu Zhao reported: "In two days, we will arrive in Yudu!"

"I rushed back after receiving your news!"

Mujing's eyes swept over gently, looking at their faces one by one, the only ones who could stay here were cabinet ministers, just a few people.

Hu Zhao, Liu Jin, Cai Yong, Qin Song.

Counting Mujing in Zhaoming Pavilion, there are only seven seats now, Huang Zhong Xizhi is not there, and the four of them are representative figures, all here.

"Proclaiming emperor is not a simple matter. Do you think the time is right?" Mu Jing went straight to the point.

"Although at present, we are still somewhat unprepared, but the opportunity of great victory should not be missed. Now that the hearts of the people are united, it is the right time!"

Hu Zhao took the lead in answering Mu Jing: "And we believe that the princes in the world today are no longer able to fight against our Ming country. At this time, they are all licking their wounds and seeking security. Even if we choose to leave at this time, Big man, even if they hate it so much, we have nothing to do with it and won't trigger a war!"

Truth is the most important reason.

Once proclaiming the emperor, it will inevitably lead to war, and at this time, the war has just ended downstairs, and no one wants to continue fighting with the Ming army.

So this is the best opportunity for the Ming Dynasty. It was announced that it would break away from the Han Dynasty and establish the Great Ming Dynasty.

Although the Ming Kingdom is independent, in name, King Mujing of Ming Dynasty is still King Ming of the Han Dynasty, the prince of the Han Dynasty, not an independent court.

As the saying goes, if the name is not right, the words are not right.

At this point, the only goal of the Ming Dynasty is to unify the world. When the time comes, the master will be unknown, and the war will be frustrated, so at this time, this status must be established.

When the time comes to really fight, no matter how you fight, Ming is not wrong, because it is a dispute between Ming and Han, not the fighting intention of Mu Jing and others.

This is very important, it concerns people's hearts, and we have to pay attention to it.

"In this battle, although I Minggou won a big victory, I suffered a lot. In terms of strength, the Ming army should be the biggest drop in so many years!"

Mu Jing stood at attention, and said: "You can guarantee that there will be no war. War is the continuation of politics. No one wants to see the Ming Dynasty separate from the Han Dynasty. We are forcing them to go to war!"

Although everyone in the world is licking their wounds, there is no guarantee that they will not go to war with the Ming country. The Ming country is separated from the Han and completely independent, which is equivalent to declaring war with all their princes.

Maybe it will become a fuse, triggering them to automatically form an alliance, even if they don't have much strength at this moment, maybe they will go crazy.

Especially Cao Mengde, that is a hero who is difficult to count.

The reason why Xiongxiong is Xiongxiong is that you can't use common sense to speculate, they will always do something that makes you unexpected, who knows whether Cao Cao will die or not.

"Your Majesty!"

Liu Jin looked at Mujing and said, "Opportunities don't come easily. We can't miss the opportunity because of too many worries. Independence is very important to us. Daming doesn't need to rely on the Han Dynasty. Why should we be trapped?" This layer of skin will make people poke the spine, and make the people of the world not understand us!"

They are still ministers of the Han Dynasty, any fight will be civil strife, and will not be understood, and if Mu Jing and others commit crimes, many scholars will inevitably make irresponsible remarks.

It’s okay to talk about it, but people’s hearts sometimes say it out. The greatest ability of a scholar is to inspire people’s hearts. Believe that your eyes see and hear.

So at present, the entire scholarly society has a kind of rejection of Mujing, which is the result of word of mouth. Even in the hearts of the people, Mujing is not very stable.

After all, not all places are Yudu.

"opportunity?"

Mu Jing pondered for a moment, Liu Jin's words were correct, no matter what time he had to be independent, and it was a matter of time before the Ming Dynasty was established.

It's just that he has been thinking about the timing, and Liu Jin gave him the best analysis.

His eyes slowly fell on Cai Yong who had been quiet all this time.

Among these people, he is most worried about Cai Yong. This old man is his father-in-law and a member of Han Dynasty. If he hadn't suppressed him at the beginning, he would probably have joined forces with Wang Yun to engage in trouble in the southwest. Maybe it's Sinicization.

It was not easy to throw him to Nanzhong for two years, and then invite him back. Now his attitude has changed a lot, but Mu Jing is still worried.

This old man has been a Hanchen for decades, and his sense of belonging to the Han Dynasty is hard to be completely erased.

"Don't look at the old man!"

Cai Yong felt Mu Jing's eyes, looked back at him, and said: "This matter was suggested by the old man, the opportunity must not be missed, and the time will never come again!"

"You suggested it?"

Mu Jing felt very surprised.

"Why?" Cai Yong sneered: "Do you think I have much hope for the so-called Liu Han court?"

He is disappointed too much, he is already desperate. When you are desperate, you don't feel any hope. At this time, starting a new stove may be an explanation to the world.

He didn't know whether it was right or wrong for him to do this, but Cai Yong understood one thing, for the world, unification can lead to peace, and peace can lead to a stable life.

What the people need is a simple and stable life.

Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, how many people have been displaced, and how many people have been affected and died because of the war, the number is somewhat unclear.

He used to have hope for the imperial court, but now, he can only be responsible to the people of the world, and put his hope of peace on Mu Jing.

This is what he has personally felt in the southwest for so many years. The stability of the southwest is different from other places. Under Mujing's rule, there can be peace and prosperity.

"Father can figure it out, the child is naturally happy!" Mu Jing quickly apologized.

"It's not that the old man figured it out!"

Cai Yong took a deep breath: "It is this bloody lesson that made this old man have to make a wrong choice. When Wang Yun died, this old man was already in despair!"

Mu Jing didn't say anything anymore, if this topic continued, old man Cai could cry with him for three days and three nights.

Now that old man Cai is not an obstacle.

Then Liu Jin is right, the time to become emperor has come.

Mu Jing took a deep breath and said, "Whether it's for the world or for himself, Daming will rule the country. Gu agrees to your plan, let's do it!"
