Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1510 Ten Before Enthronement

Sima Wei is a great Confucian, not only has great prestige among the people, but also a spiritual totem in the hearts of many scholars in Jingzhou.

His attitude is very important, and can even influence the direction of the entire Shilin.

As for why he is willing to support, it's not considered being threatened. In fact, at his level, life and death have long been ignored. Personal life and death are minor matters, and the world's turmoil is the major issue.

Concern for the country and the people is the sentiment of great Confucianism.

Just like when he was willing to surrender to Mujing, it was not because Mujing's knife was sharp enough, but because the people in Jingzhou couldn't bear the turmoil.

Some great Confucian scholars cherish their fame, but some great Confucian scholars don't care about their own reputation very much. If one's fame and energy can be exchanged for peace in the world, Sima Wei is absolutely willing to do it.

This is the integrity of scholars.

If possible, he would also be willing to be loyal to the Han Dynasty. Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism is the foundation of Confucianism, but in the current situation, he does not see any hope for the Han Dynasty at all.

If the Han Dynasty can only cause turmoil in the world, but the sun and the moon can guard the universe and stabilize the mountains and rivers, then he is willing to give up this little principle and support Mujing.

Ever since someone encouraged Mu Jing to proclaim himself emperor, Sima Wei had already thought of this day. Jingxiang has always had a strong academic atmosphere, and there are many scholars. Fewer students enter the official ranks, and the momentum of vigorous development will be strong, and the influence will also be great. Jingxiang Shilin must express his opinion.

There are very few people who can represent Jingxiang Shilin.

Even people like Cai Hao, Cai Tu, and Kuailiang can only represent the aristocratic families, and cannot convince the scholars in Jingxiang. Sima Wei is the only one who can convince the scholars in Jingxiang, and there are only a handful of others left.

"Are you really going to play?"

Thinking about it, Pang Degong's complexion is a little ugly. Pang's family is a Jingxiang Qingliu, and his influence among the gentry is also very important.

But the hatred between the Pang family and the Mu family is not small. When Pang Ji died in the battle of the Mu army attacking Jingzhou, this was originally hatred.

In addition, his nephew, the most outstanding young talent of the Pang family, the young talent of the Pang family, is now serving Uncle Liu Huang in the northern border. He left with hatred at the beginning, and sooner or later he will meet him.

When the time comes, where Ponzi will go, he will have a hard time making a decision.

"Mr. De, sometimes we have to put aside our own choices. This is Jing Xiang's only choice!" Sima Wei also knew about Mr. Pang De's difficulties, but when it comes to right and wrong, their position must be firm: "We don't support, Mu Jing will also be proclaimed emperor, the Ming Kingdom will become the Great Ming Dynasty, and the sun and the moon will turn the world upside down, but we do not support it, which means that Jing Xiang does not support it!"

He breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "Jingxiang was built as a land of five states, and it is developing very well. Many things are slowly recovering. Many aristocratic families, gentry and wealthy families are recovering their influence. They feel that they have With the confidence to bargain with the Ming Dynasty, so on top of the promotion of the New Deal, the resignation of Xu Shu, the governor of Xiangzhou, may make them feel that they have won and the Ming Dynasty has compromised, but we can't be so naive !",
Many things, when they come to see them at this level, they have a different line of sight, and the things they see are also different, so they must be careful.

Sima Wei talked with Xu Shu once when Xu Shu left Changsha, and Xu Shu told him clearly that the court's compromise was not helpless, it was just a strategy to let the enemy relax their vigilance.

The New Deal is currently a national policy, the supreme ruler of the Ming Kingdom, the will of King Ming Mujing, and no one can organize it. If there is no more gentle means to promote the New Deal, then King Ming will use more violent means to achieve his goals.

This time, he, Xu Shu, can leave, but maybe one day, he can come back, and what he brings with him may be bloody.

Xu Shu is his best student and the vanguard of the New Deal. He will not believe everything Xu Shu said, but he has to admit that the possibility of this is too great.

The New Deal happened in Jingxiang, it must be a blow to Mu Jing, and according to his understanding of Mu Jing, Mu Jing will not be so easy to let go.

At that time, there is really no way to make peace, so is it necessary to have a bloodbath?

Jing Xiang couldn't bear the torment anymore.

For Sima Wei, Mu Jing's proclaiming the emperor was an opportunity to ease the relationship. He must seize this opportunity and try to ease the relationship as much as possible.

So he decided to ask Mu Jing to proclaim himself emperor, expressing an attitude of Jingxiang Shilin.

"Brother Shui Jing is very true!" Huang Chengyan smiled slightly, and said: "Before I didn't stay in Yudu, I still hesitated about the Ming Dynasty, but this time, I might stay in Yudu , we, Jing Xiang, have nowhere to go. Mu Jing, who seems to be gentle in his actions, is not only strong, but also domineering. If you really want to anger him, how much blood Jing Xiang will have to bleed is uncertain. !"

Mu Jing is now his son-in-law, and he hopes that Huang Yueying can give birth to an heir. After this, the future of the Huang clan is guaranteed enough.

No matter from which point of view, it is a good thing for him, Huang Chengyan, and even the entire Huang clan to have Mu Jing as the emperor.

He definitely supports it.

Of course, because of his status, he will lack a lot of influence among the scholars. In the final analysis, it still depends on the choices of Sima Wei and Mr. Pang De.

As long as the two of them can perform, the Jingxiang Shilin can be settled, and there will be no troubles in Jingxiang regarding the matter of Mujing proclaiming the emperor.

This is what he wants to see.

However, he, Huang Chengyan, and Pang Degong have been old friends for many years. He will not forcefully ask Pang Degong to choose, but just persuade him.

As great Confucians, they have influence over the entire Jingxiang scholars. The more influential they are, the more important their attitude is. Sometimes, any decision they make will be bloody. wind.

"Playing on the water mirror, the old man will not stop it, this is your choice, the old man still respects you, but the old man has to think about it himself!"

Mr. Pang De smiled wryly, and said in a low voice: "Although Jingxiang is important, my Pang family must have a way out. It's just that Shi Yuan is not here. If Shi Yuan is there, many things can be avoided!"

Aristocratic families all have the habit of taking part and taking refuge, but the Pang family rarely has it. The Pang family has only one talented person, and the others are mediocre.

The most outstanding one went to seek refuge with others. When Mujing got angry, he might be directly imprisoned, and Ponzi would be in danger.

He is not hesitant about the hatred between him and the Mu family now, in fact, it is not even a hatred. Since Pang Ji chose to die and be loyal to Liu Biao, he has to bear the consequences. None of them can stop him. If the Mu army comes in, then The two armies are at war, and life and death are the destiny of each.

But the existence of Pang Tong is a big problem. Pang Tong can't see through it. He has hatred in his heart, and sooner or later he will confront Ming. Awkward.

"I heard about Shi Yuan!"

Sima Wei said: "At the beginning I said that this son has the talent of a young phoenix, he can spread his wings to the Kyushu, but Uncle Liu Huang..."

He was silent for a while: "If this person is not the king of great benevolence, he is the hero of great treachery. I really can't see through it!"

"No matter what, this is Shiyuan's choice!" Pang Degong sighed: "I also have to think about it, whether I choose Shiyuan or the Pang family!"

If he plays up, he will break contact with Pang Tong, otherwise, if there is a problem in the future, the Pang family will be implicated in the end.

"Have the mountain people become official?" Huang Chengyan asked suddenly.

"He had that intention, but the old man stopped him!" Pang De said fairly: "The mountain man is not a scholar, he does not have the talent or courage of a scholar, and his future achievements can only be pinned on luck, good luck , but he has some accomplishments, bad luck, maybe he can only be wasted, there is no need for him to be an official for the time being!"

"Actually, I think you should let him become an official, and I will personally recommend him!" Huang Chengyan said.

"What do you mean?"

Lord Pound frowned.

"De Gong!" Huang Chengyan came to be a lobbyist, but he would also take into account the friendship with Pang: "No matter what you choose, leave yourself a way out, that's right, no, it should be said, you should Leave some blood for Ponzi!"

"Will he?"

"I think he will!" This time it was Sima Wei who spoke, and he said in a low voice, "Mu Jing is a man who is unpredictable and elusive, but he acts according to rules, and the old man has pondered over this over the years. , although this person is unpredictable, but he has a bottom line in doing things, he should be more disgusted with the method of sitting, no matter when he just started from Nanyang, or some things in Luoyang, or even after he captured Bashu. In the big reckoning, tell the old man that this person is willing to punish the culprit and do whatever it takes, but he will not implicate other people, even close relatives!"

He narrowed his eyes and said, "The existence of a person is the best proof!"

"Liu Zhang!"

Huang Chengyan also came to his senses.

"Actually, I think it's luck that Liu Zhang survived to the year when the Ming Kingdom was established, but it's because of Mujing's kindness that he can survive until now and still live in such a stable way!"

Sima Wei is discussing the matter as it stands.

Liu Zhang is the son of Liu Yan and the heir of Xi Chuan. Mu Jing took Xi Chuan and kept him. It was understandable at first that he wanted to control Liu Yan's old tribe.

But now, Mu Jing's control over Xi Chuan no longer needs him at all, but he can still live well without any accidents, that is a miracle.

Those who want to kill people don't need a butcher's knife. People die unexpectedly every day.

"If the mountain people become an official..." Mr. Pang De became active.

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

Jing Xiang's reaction was still in the early years, but Yudu had already formed a boiling trend, and even showed a lot of enthusiasm. On the Sun and Moon Street in front of the Ming Palace, people gathered every day to ask Mu Jing to be the emperor.

This is a kind of performance, a very special kind of performance. Although there are some suspicions of strategizing, it is undeniable that it has the will of the people.

But Mu Jing ignored them all.

All the memorials of the request to become emperor have also been stranded, as if they have fallen into the sea, and there is no news. What should I do every day, or what should I do.

On the ninth floor, Mu Jing likes to stand in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the entire city of Yudu.

In the past, he liked to do business on top of high-rise buildings and watch the crowded streets with people coming and going. Now he also likes this way.

This reinforces your sense of accomplishment.

In this era, he is helpless, but he also feels that his own mission is to end the war, unify the world, and promote the development of the times. That is what he is asked to do.

What can be done is different from what has been done successfully.

Watching Yudu change day by day, he has an inexplicable sense of accomplishment. In this era, he is particularly excited to promote different developments.

"Your Majesty!"

Kuai Liang had been standing behind Mujing for a long time, his legs were a little weak, he didn't even dare to look up at Mujing, but he was very calm.

But Huo Yu next to him couldn't stand it any longer. As the number one celebrity in front of Mujing, he was good at making friends. He took the initiative to find something to draw Mujing's attention from downstairs: "The Privy Council reported just now. , the deployment of the northern border defense line, let you take a look at it yourself!"

"Put it there!"

Mu Jing turned his head and smiled, he liked Huo Yu's best way, in fact, he didn't want to let Kuai Liang hang around for so long, but this old fox needs to be suppressed.

He never dared to underestimate the smart people of this era. Kuai Liang was able to be Liu Biao's number one counselor. It is unknown how far his abilities will go.

The smarter a person is, the more he is a sharp sword with double-edged swords, which can be used to fight a battle, but it is easy to hurt others, and it is easy to hurt oneself.

Learning to hold a sword is the self-cultivation of a king.

"Zirou, do it!"

Mu Jing sat down, not kneeling, he hated the way of kneeling, it reminded him of a nation that was not very comfortable, there was no way in the past, he did as the Romans did, he just came to this world, he can’t be too He used to be independent, but now, he can be a little more presumptuous. He has someone make a grand master's chair, so that it is much more convenient to sit up. In his own territory, he can arrange it however he likes.

"Yes!"

Kuai Liang is a person with etiquette deeply rooted in his soul. In fact, he is more used to sitting on his knees, but the Taishi chair in front of him made him more curious, so he sat down.

"Are you used to it in Yongzhou?" Mu Jing chatted with Kuai Liang in a random way.

"not bad!"

Kuai Liang smiled wryly.

He is a person from Jingzhou, and he went to Guanzhong, so it would be strange if he could get used to it, but there was nothing he could do about it, who made Liu Biao lose so badly.

If it weren't for the rapid change, the Kuai family's tomb would have been covered with grass.

For him, Kuai Liang, the life and death of the Kuai family is the most important thing, no matter what, he will keep the future of the Kuai family.

"Guanzhong is a bit desolate and bitterly cold nowadays, and you shouldn't be used to it!" Mu Jing took the initiative to say it.

Guanzhong was originally a good place, but it couldn't stand the frequent wars. The countless wars over the years have made that place more and more chaotic.

Kuai Liang went, but he was able to stabilize a lot.
