Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1516 Everything is ready
The morning in Yudu was a bit cold, and the autumn wind was rustling, making people wrap their robes involuntarily.

Ming palace, harem.

In Jingping Hall, on the dining table, Mu Jing is eating breakfast, a bowl of porridge, a rice cake, and a few side dishes. The food is not rich, but it is very warm.

Sitting next to him are naturally his two wives and two concubines.

Mu Jing is now the head of the Mu family. Since his father died, he is the head of the family, and he also made the family rules.

According to the rules of the shepherd's family, they must eat at the same table, unless they are not at home, they must eat at the same table at home.

As a family, you cook a small stove and I cook a small stove, and everyone turns around to eat. Once this sense of distance comes out, it is no longer a family, but a real royal family.

Mu Jing rejects the sense of distance. Although he is about to become the Son of Heaven, he is unwilling to let the etiquette system put a shackle on him.

Besides, a person like him doesn't respect Confucianism or Taoism, so how can he respect the system of salutation? Although he has attracted a lot of criticism this time, he is a person who breaks the stereotypes.

Under the red flag for decades, his thoughts have already taken shape, and he can pretend for a while, but after living for a long time, it will be exposed. It is not unreasonable for Confucian scholars to target him. The existence of people like him , that is, it is inherently difficult to get along with the ritual system, but the ritual system is a weapon of Confucianism. Doesn't this mean that the weapon of Confucianism is abolished?

But in Mujing's view, it's better than anything else for a family to live happily. Those things that don't eat or sleep are bastards. Eating is the best time for a family to communicate.

"What are you doing in the morning?"

Song Shan asked Cai Yan.

"Qian Zhuang!" Cai Yan was actually not used to it at first, after all, he was taught by Cai Yong, but after living with Mu Jing for so long, he was assimilated by Mu Jing, so she didn't care. Answer: "The bank has recently checked the accounts. Before my husband takes the throne, we have to tighten up the loans and deal with some bad debts!"

"Qian Zhuang..." Mu Jing thought for a while, and said, "Maybe there will be some changes after I ascend the throne!"

"Those ministers persecuted your husband?"

Cai Yan has a keen sense of politics.

"The problem of the harem not interfering in politics is easy to solve. As long as I stand firm, they don't dare to oppress us too much. The key is that Mingfeng is now a sweet potato. They are not willing to let your husband and I control too stable!"

Mu Jing sighed: "The country is the country, and the family is the family. On the one hand, they hope that as a father, they can put the court as the most important thing and say that the world is selfless. Yes, I don’t know if they themselves feel that there is a contradiction in this!”

"In terms of etiquette, there is no contradiction!"

Cai Yan smiled, with a beautiful smile, and said: "The Son of Heaven belongs to court, but the Mu family is the Mu family, but the husband is also the son of heaven and the head of the Mu family!"

"I'm sure I don't have the position to say anything about the matter of their reaching out sooner or later, otherwise it will appear that they are not generous enough. Being a king and being an emperor are different things!"

Mu Jing also shrugged, and then said: "But Zhao Ji, you have controlled Ming Feng for so long, you have to have a way to protect yourself!"

"Husband, this is provoking sister Cai to compete with the princes of the court!"

Zhang Ning's beautiful eyes widened, and he looked at Mujing in surprise.

"What do you know, you know when you see a doctor. You have to learn these things!" Mu Jing made fun of it, and then explained: "I can't move, that's because there is a difference between the identity of the emperor and the identity of the Mu clan's patriarch. Among them, I have to put people in the world first, but Zhaoji is different, she is also the mistress of the Mu family, from her standpoint, it is right to consider the interests of the Mu family's children first!"

"It's so complicated!"

Huang Yueying frowned a little beside her.

"My husband is separated in the concept of country and family, but sister Zhaoji can be mixed, so that the court officials will find no reason to attack my husband!" Diao Chan is politically better than Zhang Ning and Huang Yueying She is much more sensitive, but she is good at hiding her clumsiness, and under normal circumstances, she would not pay attention to these things.

"Xiuer!"

Mu Jing smiled and said: "You shouldn't continue to stay at home, embroider and write, and go to be Zhaoji's military adviser, just right!"

"Sister Xiu'er, I am missing a military advisor to help me!"

Cai Yan's eyes were shining, and Diao Chan's ability was always concealed under her glamorous and pretty face, she was imperceptible, but it must not be underestimated.

"No, I can't!" Diao Chan shook her head, "I have to take care of my husband!"

The sisters all have their own careers, but her wish is very simple, to be a woman who relies on men so that she will never be abandoned again.

"I've spent all day in this harem thinking wildly. Sooner or later I'll think of something. I should go outside for a walk. In the future, you can help Zhaoji when you go!"

Mu Jing waved his hand, and said domineeringly: "Lonely women are people who don't give way to men, you can't fall behind!"

Having more women is not necessarily a good thing. Three wives and four concubines think beautifully, but when they become jealous, they really can kill people invisible.

Now Mu Jing enjoys the blessings of Qi people, what he has to do is to make the blessings of Qi people a little more harmonious, find something for them to do, don't let them have so many jealous thoughts, and the world will be peaceful .

Women's fights, many times, broke out because of boredom.

"Okay!" Diao Chan is soft and weak. Facing Mu Jing's power, she will never refute, but she is still a little happy when she lowers her head. She was adopted when she was young, and she almost became Wang Yun's tool. Yun is still grateful, but she also has a sense of distance. Only being forced to marry into the Mu family makes her feel a little bit at home.

"But not these days!"

Diao Chan remembered something and said in a low voice.

"Why?" Cai Yan asked.

"Father used to have a few friends, they came to Yudu, I should pay a visit!" Diao Chan said with twinkling eyes.

"Wang Yun's friend?" Mu Jing immediately understood that Diao Chan activated Wang Yun's connections before, and it is estimated that he was also gaining leverage for his change of dynasty. After all, the only obstacle now is Shilin, although most of them have accepted. Come down, but there are still some opposing voices calling.

Cai Yong is a banner, and so is Wang Yun. Wang Yun's connections are no less than Cai Yong's. Wang Yun has no children. Only Diao Chan is adopted. She is qualified to mobilize Wang Yun's connections over the years.

"Xiu'er, don't force yourself too much. You can handle your husband's affairs by yourself. You are my woman, so you don't need to beg for help!" Mu Jing instructed. Hui Yayu Cai Yan's external softness and internal strength are just afraid that she will wrong herself and ask for help for her own sake.

To be honest, Mujing needs the support of these contacts, but he doesn't need to ask for help. His accession to the throne is already a big event, and God can't stop it. If Shilin wants to stop it, he has to see it. It's not the first time he has copied the family and butchered the clan, at most it's just a little bad reputation.

Of course, it's best to get support. After all, killing people can't solve the problem. If you kill a family and get rid of one, it will be a lifetime of hatred.

For example, the Wuyin Zhu clan back then, their flesh and blood supported the Mu clan's first step out of Mushroom Mountain, but it has also been the countless bloody storms over the years.

They have been looking for Mujing to take revenge, the hatred is as deep as the sea, there is no way to stop it, only if one party dies completely, maybe it can end.

"Don't worry, husband, I won't embarrass our shepherds!"

Diao Chan smiled brightly, her smile could shake people's hearts, even Mu Jing couldn't bear it, she had to turn her face away, otherwise she might become wild.

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

After breakfast, it is natural to go to work. In this era, officials go to work, which is generally called Dianmao.

Mu Jing didn't go directly to Ming Palace, but went to the nearby school yard.

Ma Chao is convening the training of the Divine Guard Army. Although the date of Mu Jing's ascension to the throne has not yet been announced, the Divine Guard Army must show their faces on the day of enthronement.

Ma Chao couldn't allow himself to be slapped in the face, so these days, he trained these soldiers of the Divine Guard, the fifth battalion of the Divine Guard, like a dog.

Mu Jing stood by and watched for a while, before letting Jin Jiu, the guard beside him, call Ma Chao over.

"Your Majesty!"

Ma Chao trotted over, wearing a battle armor, he did not salute, but just bowed with his fists clasped.

"The Divine Guard needs to expand!"

Mujing ordered him in a low voice.

"expand?"

Ma Chao frowned.

"If Gu wants to deter some people, the Shenwei Army must be expanded. This Yudu City Shenwei Army is the only soldier who can be stationed with a legitimate name, and it also represents Gu's face!"

Mu Jing instructed: "Gu allows you to select elites from various armies and increase the strength of two battalions. On the day when Gu enthrones, the Divine Guard must make a big appearance and shock the whole world!"

Why did he start his career? He conquered the world on horseback. Those who can hold the world down must be soldiers and horses.

"promise!"

Ma Chao took the lead, his fighting spirit was high.

As the commander of the Divine Guard Army, defending Yudu and defending the safety of the Ming Palace, he also feels that there are not enough troops recently. The Divine Guard Battalion is dedicated to serving Mu Jing Anwei. He only has four battalions, which often seems too small .

………………

After giving some orders, Mu Jing returned to Ming Palace.

He is used to inspecting from below, which can be regarded as increasing his closeness to the people, and increasing his sense of distance from the officials working in the Ming Palace.

Under the new system of the Ming Dynasty, there was no court at all. It was beneficial and could increase the efficiency of handling state affairs, but the court could not solve anything.

What he admired the most was Emperor Jiajing, who had not been in court for decades, and could control the government without a single flaw. If this man hadn't been a ignorant cultivator, he would definitely be a remarkable emperor.

This also made Mujing understand that the problem can be solved not by going to court, but also by not going to court, but this will also increase the sense of distance. I haven't seen Mujing for many years. For those officials, they only know their immediate superiors. There will be a lot less awe.

Therefore, when the pastoral scene is appropriate, these officials should also be given the opportunity to meet. The inspection work does not take time, it is just a walk around, and there will be nothing special.

Back to Zhaoming Pavilion, Zhaoming Pavilion is fully equipped to participate in politics.

Huang Zhong has been back for two days.

From Hu Zhao down, Cai Yong, Liu Jin, Qin Song, Xi Zhicai, Huang Zhong, and Mu Jing's master, Zhaoming Pavilion is considered complete.

"What are you talking about?"

Mujing sat down and asked.

"When is the most suitable time for the king to ascend the throne?" Hu Zhao said directly: "At present, according to the outside information from Jing Wusi, they are fighting, but they are always suppressing. No matter who it is, they are a little bit reluctant to let go. Guard against us, so they dare not start a war easily. I guess they are waiting for us. The news that the king is about to ascend the throne must have spread. , we have no chance to send troops!"

"That's a god-given opportunity?" Mu Jing smiled: "Then have you discussed when?"

He didn't really care.

Ascension to the throne is indeed different in the eyes of the officials, but in Mu Jing's view, it is nothing more than ruling the Ming Kingdom under a different name.

The transformation from the Ming Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty is for the world to see. The management of the Ming Dynasty is still the same, but he wants to suppress it. After all, he needs to gain momentum if he wants to promote the development of the New Deal.

Once he is enthroned, it will be his best chance to promote the New Deal. At that time, it will inevitably be a battle between dragons and tigers, from fighting outsiders to fighting with his own people.

"October!"

Hu Zhao said: "The exact date is still being counted, it should be nine days or ten days!"

Good days and auspicious days also have to be counted.

Taoism has an algorithm.

They invited a lot of people from the Taoist school to calculate this time. It must be the most accurate and the best time for the sun and the moon to soar into the sky and change the world.

"October?"

Mu Jing squinted his eyes: "There is still one month left, might I be a little anxious? I just thought that this winter is going to be over, let people get used to it, and the voices of opposition are not small now!"

"Because of this, we have to cut the mess quickly!"

Hu Zhao said in a low voice: "My lord, everything is ready. The longer the delay, the longer the night and the more dreams!"

Mu Jing turned to look at Cai Yong, Cai Yong felt it, raised his head and looked at him, said: "My lord, the time has come, we can't miss it!"

He looked at Xi Zhicai again.

"Your Majesty, it should be sooner rather than later!" Xi Zhicai said with a smile: "We also have to give others a chance to fight. If the King does not hold the enthronement ceremony for a day, in their view, the King is still playing tricks. The so-called enthronement is just It's just a cover, they might think that the king will openly build plank roads to secretly hide Chencang, and then ascend the throne in the name of attracting their attention, and secretly send troops to attack!"

Hearing this, Mu Jing thinks that Xi Zhicai's analysis is quite correct. There is such a possibility. After all, there are too many things that he didn't expect, which made them feel like they were in a panic.

If you don't ascend the throne or establish a new dynasty, you will naturally have more energy to send troops.

"Row!"

Mujing raised his head, with a smile on his face. The smile was very confident and brilliant. He was somewhat high-spirited when he thought of becoming an emperor. This is vanity, but it is also a kind of motivation. He said with a smile: " Everything is ready, then we will ride the wind!"

His deep voice was loud and firm: "When my Ming Dynasty is established, there will be no big men in the world, and only my Ming Dynasty can determine the universe!"
