Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1527 Brothers gather
Hongdumen School, Nanshan School District.

"You're afraid of Hu Zhao and Cai Yong, but you're not afraid of Gu?" Mu Jing's voice was a little cold.

"I will die!"

Shi Xie hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.

Mu Jing looked at him, a little helpless, this is also an old oil field in the officialdom, so it is really not easy to scare, compared to Liu Ling, who is underappreciated, and Liu Ye, who are passionate officials, Shi Xie is already a very successful politician.

"Get up!" Mu Jing could only calm down, and said softly: "Gu came here today to chat with you, don't take it seriously!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding!"

Shi Xie just stood up from the ground, but he was still quite weak, sweating continuously, and he didn't even dare to look at Mujing anymore, looking restless.

Mu Jing stood up from his seat, with his hands on his back, and his gaze was far away. This was originally Cai Yong's study room for sacrificial wine. It was built on the highest place, and he could overlook the entire academy from here.

"Weiyan, do you know why Gu established the Hongdu School?" Mu Jing's voice was very soft.

Shi Xie also stood up from his seat.

Mujing was standing, but he didn't have the guts to sit down. Some concepts have been carried for thousands of years, and the servile attitude between classes is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

He stood respectfully behind Mujing, and his posture was a bit cautious. After listening to Mujing's words, he raised his head and glanced at the students of Hongdu's school.

After thinking for a while, he replied: "Your Majesty is a person with great ambitions, which cannot be compared with other ministers. The emergence of Hongdu School is a blessing for scholars all over the world!"

"Being able to read is just the first step. As the saying goes, learn literary and martial arts well and sell to the emperor's family. What you need is talent, but talent shows itself!"

Mu Jing's voice was cold: "Shi Weiyan, you actually know better than anyone else how many people's futures are restricted by the recommendation system. Although you are from a family in Jiaozhou, in the eyes of many people, you are a barbarian. You traveled to the Central Plains to study , You know how much effort you have spent in wanting to become an official, and it’s hard to put it bluntly, if you don’t have one and you are always recommended by Liu Tao, you may not be able to win the eyes of the court!”

"That's what the king said!"

Shi Xie sighed, but what he said at this time was the truth: "Jiaozhou is located in a corner. In the eyes of the people in the Central Plains, it is a land of barbarians in South Vietnam. Included in the map of the world, but it has been more than four hundred years, and some people still don’t regard us as Chinese people. In the past, I came to Chang’an with full of enthusiasm and posted dozens of posts, but no one was willing to recommend me for my official career. Only when I went south to Yingchuan, studied under Liu Tao, and studied under the teacher, the teacher was a man of all kinds, who treated me very well and arranged for my future. The death of the teacher back then also made me despair of the court, so I returned When I arrive in Jiaozhou, otherwise, I also want to be an official in the court, and I want to realize my ambition and benefit the people of the world!"

He wasn't born to want to separate himself from one side, it was just forced by the current situation. At the beginning, he was almost like Cao Cao's Sun family. A stage for display.

It's just that after going down step by step, we have come to today.

In fact, he still felt that he was quite honored. He was partial to Jiaozhou, which was not what he thought. If the Ming Dynasty established a dynasty and ruled the world, he could be regarded as the center of the imperial court.

"Some things need to be changed. We can't stand still!" Mu Jing said softly: "We all know that the recommendation system has caused the imperial court to lose a lot of talents, and talented people cannot be allowed to contribute to the world. It is easy to get a general in the army, but it is hard to find a general, and it is also true in the local area. It is easy to find officials, but it is difficult to become an official. A good official can benefit the people, but a person who talks about military affairs on paper can only bring disaster to the local area!"

"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't agree with the change, it's just that I can't disturb the court and cause chaos in the world. How can we put an end to chaos in the Ming Dynasty!" Mu Jing spoke earnestly, and Shi Xie didn't hide it. He told Mu Jing directly that he didn't support it. Just don't dare to become a reason for turmoil in the world.

Some systems have been ingrained for too long. Once you move, it is like a frying pan. When the situation is finally calmed down, it will be out of control.

He is also fair-minded.

But Mu Jing would not be satisfied, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Chaos, Gu is still there, the world in Ming Kingdom will not be chaotic, if there is really chaos, then Gu will put down the chaos!"

Shi Xie trembled slightly. From the voice, he felt a gust of blood and blood rushing towards his face. He could feel Mu Jing's strength and iron fist, but he still underestimated it.

"Here is Gu who drafted a copy of the specific matters of the imperial examination system. Go back and take a closer look!" Mu Jing did not continue to persuade Shi Xie, he handed the prepared document to Shi Xie, saying: "Gu You don’t need to answer Gu immediately, but Gu can tell you that after Gu ascends the throne, no matter whether you will help Gu or not, Gu will move, even if everyone in the world refuses to allow him, he will do what Gu thinks is right without hesitation!”

Shi Xie was holding a thick document in his hand, and he looked it over carefully. At least one book was as thick as this. This plan must not be simple.

And he could feel Mujing's firmness and determination from Mujing's voice.

He sighed, cupped his hands and said: "I will give the king an answer as soon as possible, no matter what I do, I will never fail the Ming Dynasty!"

"Go!"

Shepherd nodded.

This is a dispute over the New Deal, and it has nothing to do with loyalty. He has not taken too much precaution against the scholars of Jiaozhou, because the elite scholars of the scholars have been dispatched out of Jiaozhou, and they do not have much influence in Jiaozhou. threaten.

Shi Xie is a talented person, and the Shi Wu of the Shi family is also a good general. Although Shi Yi has no reputation, he has always been a small civil servant, but he can stay with such a picky person like Huo Yu. Is a nice guy too.

The Shi family is still somewhat useful. Even if Shi Xie is on the opposite side of the New Deal, he will not do anything to the Shi family. Shi Xie's worries are a bit superfluous.

But for Shi Xie, he had to be worried. He surrendered at the beginning because he hoped that the Shi family could be preserved instead of being destroyed in the war.

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

Day after day, two or three days passed in a blink of an eye. Recently, the atmosphere in Zhaoming Pavilion was a bit weird. Whenever Mu Jing appeared, he would be met with the eyes of Hu Zhao and Cai Yong.

This made the hearts of the others jump up.

This is not the first day of the battle between monarchs and ministers, but they are usually quite friendly, but now that good-tempered scholars like Hu Zhao and Cai Yong can show such a gesture, it is conceivable how much Mu Jing has gone too far.

Mu Jing also knew that taking advantage of people's dangers like this was a bit too much, so he reduced his appearance in front of the two of them and tried to be an invisible little transparent as much as possible.

Of course, if it happens again, he will still do it. Politics is like this, how can there be no struggles, even if there is no New Deal, there will be struggles between monarchs and ministers.

The power of the monarch and the power of the ministers have been opposing powers since ancient times. If the power of the monarch is strong and the power of the ministers is too weak, it will create a dictatorial situation. If you encounter a reckless monarch, you will have a very large influence on the people of the world.

If the power of the ministers is too strong and the power of the monarch is weak, a situation of power and ministers will be formed, which is not a good thing.

Since the Zhou Dynasty, there are countless monarchs and ministers in the world. The way of getting along between monarchs and ministers is that there are those who trust each other, some who are wary of each other, and some who wish to kill each other.

But no matter what it is, it is impossible to be harmonious. At this point, the monarch has the monarch's opinion, the minister has the mind of the minister, and their will is not moved by others. They are all advancing for their own ideal world, and there are conflicts. Fighting is inevitable.

However, the internal conflicts in Ming Dynasty were still under the control of Mujing. He established Zhaoming Pavilion to prepare for the internal conflicts.

How can there be a harmonious country, if you want to develop, you must fight against the sky.

Mu Jing has already made up his mind. In the next few years, the Ming army probably won't fight abroad. His enemies are all in the Zhaoming Pavilion. If he can't take advantage of this time to expand his advantage, it will be difficult for him to leave next. .

………………

At this time, Mujing was also watching the situation outside.

"Hasn't there been a fight at Guandu yet?" This made Mu Jing very curious. It's almost winter, if there is no fight, there is no hope of a decisive battle this year.

Whether this Yuan Shao or Cao Cao is not a person who can bear it.

They are enduring.

That is to say, they are still guarding themselves.

It seems that they were beaten too hard before, and it is not acceptable to let them always be on their own defense. If they are not allowed to fight, they can only give them a chance to make trouble.

"It's all small-scale battles, they're all grabbing the position of the fortress, and there is no decisive battle, and the Hebei Zhou army is still increasing its troops..."

Xin Zhao reported that Tan Zong was not in Yudu at present, and the intelligence network of the entire Ming Kingdom regarded him as the boss, so naturally he personally reported it to Mu Jingting.

"Are there more troops?"

Mu Jing smiled, and said: "It's normal, Yuan Shao has some of the courage of the past!"

If Yuan Shao returns to Hebei at this time, Mu Jing will look down on him. In two front battles, he is already at a disadvantage, without any momentum, he has no hope at all.

At this time, he doesn't care about northern Xinjiang.

Although the Northern Yan army is fierce, it is impossible to come down so fast. They must have troops deployed in the northern border. Even if they can't stop it, they can hold it down for a while.

At this time, as long as Yuan Shao defeats the defenders of the Central Plains and captures Yanzhou and Yuzhou, even if the danger in the northern border is solved without a fight, then Liu Bei will retreat directly.

This is an all-or-nothing strategy, and it requires a lot of courage to do it.

"What about Bingzhou?"

Mu Jing asked.

"Bingzhou is a bit chaotic. Yuan Shao's nephew is a high-ranking official. Although he doesn't look like a strong general, he has a weird mind. He fights and disperses at the same time. Instead of sticking to it, he drags the main force of the Yan army. On the Shangdang side, Zhang Yang also They may not be willing to surrender, but they are stalemate anyway!"

Xin Zhao said.

"It's better to be chaotic!"

Mu Jing said: "But in this way, Bingzhou lost its suppression of the Southern Huns. It seems that our Liangzhou is really in trouble!"

"Zhaoming's Fourth Army has already been set up. If we put a cavalry army there, no matter how thoughtful the Southern Huns are, would they dare to cross the border?" Xin Zhao frowned.

"Only you think they don't dare, but for them, if they don't cross the border, how can they plunder slaves and food!" Mu Jing shook his head: "Xiliang will have a fight sooner or later!"

He thought for a while, and said: "You tell Zuo Si and the others to keep a close eye on the Southern Huns. I don't want the Southern Huns to mobilize troops. Gu Huan doesn't know anything about it!"

"Yes!"

Xin Zhao nodded, he is the commander of the right division, but he has the power to give orders to the left division, regardless of the name of Jingwu division. Of course, if Tan Zong is here, he can't do this.

"in addition……"

Mu Jing looked at Zhao Xin: "Recently, many ministers have some opinions on you. Do things more cleanly and don't leave too much trouble. Gu has never advocated private executions. Evidence, no matter what you do, even if you Jingwu Division , I also need to produce evidence!"

"Your subordinate understands!" Xin Zhao knew that he had gone a bit out of line recently, although he had obtained the order of Mu Jing, but in order for Mu Jing to ascend the throne smoothly, he did use some means, and they were very vicious.

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate has been established. In the future, many internal matters will be under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. You, Jingwu Yousi, should not show your face, and hide from the limelight. If you find any evidence, throw it directly to the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"

Mu Jing instructed.

"Yes!"

Xin Zhao nodded, Jing Wusi had already disliked those officials who were facing up, so it was right to hide from the limelight at this time, the establishment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate also made them sleepless and restless.

"When did Tan Zong come back?"

Mu Jing suddenly asked.

"It seems like only two days!" Zhao Xin said: "He dare not delay, if the king ascends the throne, he dares not to come back, he knows that the king will not spare him!"

"Humph!"

Mu Jing snorted coldly: "A lame man, running around, next time I will break both his legs, let's see if he can run!"

Xin Zhao couldn't help being envious, Tan Zong and himself had different positions in Mu Jing's heart.

Suddenly something sounded to him.

"Your Majesty, I have something..." But Xin Zhao hesitated a little, he didn't want to offend Tan Zong, that old bastard, but he kept it a secret, if Mu Jing knew about it, he probably wouldn't be of any use, so he hesitated up.

"Say!"

Mujing glanced at him and said, "I'm here alone, there's nothing more to say!"

"Tan Zong brought back a person. This person can make Tan Zong's mood fluctuate a little. I don't dare to inquire about the specifics, but from my point of view, Tan Zong treats her differently!"

Xin Zhao gritted his teeth and said it anyway. In fact, he wanted to say it before, but he kept holding back.

"Woman?" Mujing asked tentatively.

"Woman!" Xin Zhao nodded.

"Who?" Mu Jing was curious, who could make Tan Zong's iron tree bloom so much.

Xin Zhao quietly whispered a name next to Mu Jing's ear.

"What?" Mu Jing stared: "He must be too courageous!"

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

Two days before Mu Jing ascended the throne, Tan Zong rushed back from Jiangdong, and not only Tan Zong, but also Lei Hu came back from northern Xinjiang after running to death with several horses. Just after the battle, he couldn't wait 's back.

To Mu Jing, Tan Zong and Lei Hu were not ordinary subjects.

There were not many brothers in Mushroom Mountain back then, a lot of them died in battle, and they can live to this day, it is really a slap in the face to count them clearly.

Among them, Tan Zong and Lei Hu are the most valued by Mu Jing.

Mujing was naturally happy that they could come back in time, so Mujing hosted a banquet in his Jingping Hall the day before he became the throne, and invited the two of them, and a few others, all brothers from Mushroom Mountain, Think of it as a gathering between brothers.

Mu Jing is unfamiliar with the Mu family, and he doesn't think too much about the Mu family's somewhat blood-related brothers. If he is able, he will support them.

But for the two brothers Tan Zong and Lei Hu, he still values ​​them more. The others also have feelings, and they are all brothers who have suffered together.
