Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1551 At the meeting between Cao Cao and Sun Ce
The Ming court is a new court, and the atmosphere in the court has always been good, so there are not many secrets inside. After the court push meeting, news has spread quickly to every corner of the Daming Palace.

The various ministries of the Daming Palace began to discuss the results of this court discussion, with some praises, some objections, and some fierce reluctance to admit it.

"In addition to the position of chief treasurer, Mingfeng Bank also set up a position of chief inspector?"

"What kind of job is this?"

"Could it be someone from the Metropolitan Procuratorate? The group of people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate were all from Yushitai before, and those people are used to supervising impeachment!"

"Mingfeng Qianzhuang has such a big plate, it is only natural for a chief inspector to supervise the accounts and supervise the big treasurer. His Majesty's doing so is nothing!"

"The key is that the chief inspector is the empress!"

"Your Majesty's move is a little risky. It means that he would rather risk the dissatisfaction of the heavens than to push the empress out. What is your majesty thinking?"

"Since ancient times, the male ruler is the outer female ruler, and the female ruler is the one who serves the husband, manages the backyard, and manages the family. Why should I show my face in public? Is it possible that my Ming Dynasty is going to the point where the queen can take care of the government?"

"When a foreign relative enters the court, it is bound to cause disaster. Once the empress empress takes over the government, the foreign relative will become powerful in the future. Wouldn't my Ming be able to recover from the disaster of the previous court!"

"Don't say that, the empress is the empress. Cai Xiang is not such a person. Cai Xiang has always been highly respected. He is a great talent we admire. How can he be called a foreign relative!"

"But I heard that it was Cai Tong who agreed to let the queen empress take up the position of chief inspector herself!"

"Maybe Cai Xiang has his own considerations. Anyway, this matter is His Majesty's idea. Even if Cai Xiang wants to stop it, he can't stop it!"

"Hu Xiang wants to stop, but who can stop His Majesty!"

"Don't think too much, everyone. Your Majesty's heart for reform is irreversible now, and he is determined to do it. The mere Mingfeng Bank is no longer enough. Everyone should think about themselves. If this reform changes to you, what should you do?" What to do!"

"That's right, Mingfeng Bank is definitely just the beginning, not the end. If it involves population and land changes in the future, none of us will be able to stay out of it!"

"For the sake of the imperial court, in fact, I think that the reform is acceptable. Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and determined to revitalize the world. It is justified to change the atmosphere of the previous court!"

"The changes of the sky are not enough to be feared, the ancestors are not enough to follow the law, and the words of people are not enough to be sympathetic. The words of His Majesty are deafening!"

"That being said, the reform also depends on the timing. Now that the world is not in peace, if internal disasters arise in the Xiaoqiang, wouldn't it be an opportunity for outsiders to take advantage of it!"

"Can you play it up and let His Majesty take it back!"

"Your will is like Mount Tai, it is already indestructible!"

"Then we can't do this and wait. Reform and system reform are such a big deal. If we are not careful, the foundation of my Ming Dynasty may be completely destroyed!"

"You can think of it, how can your majesty not think of it, Hu Xiang, Cai Xiang and others can't think of it. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing is still unknown, but if you come forward rashly, you will definitely become the target of your majesty to kill chickens and monkeys!"

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate is now looking down on it. Although Prime Minister Kuai is also a famous prime minister, it still belongs to His Majesty's sword. If he makes a move, we may not be able to bear it!"

"Mingke's laws are strict. We must first ensure that we have not violated Mingke's laws before we have the opportunity to say the following things and participate in the battle of opposition and approval of the reform. If we are not clean, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will immediately send us to prison Go to Dali Temple!"

"No matter what, let's do our own work well first. Your Majesty has always been wise and powerful. Whether it's reform or restructuring, it may not be wrong, but if we are passive and sabotage, Daming will be in chaos first!"

"..."

Under the Daming Palace, Zhaoming Pavilion, Zhengshitang, Privy Council, Metropolitan Procuratorate, among the government offices of various ministries, there are like clouds of officials, each with their own thoughts, no matter whether it is a senior official of the third or fourth rank, or a meager official of the eighth or ninth rank. , they all have their own propositions and positions.

They could all feel that Mujing was about to brew a big storm.

This storm of political reform has already swept across, and no one can avoid it.

The Ming Dynasty was not the former Han Dynasty, but the new dynasty, and the new dynasty had new trends. They were not unacceptable, but they were still a little apprehensive.

No one dares to say what the future government system will become, and no one dares to say whether the reform will succeed or fail.

Even Mujing himself, even if he is so firm in his ideas, is just crossing the river by feeling the stones. He is already prepared for the reform to fail.

Even if he has the system of more than ten dynasties for thousands of years as a reference, it may not be able to adapt to this era. Whether it can be accepted by the people and whether it can become a good government for the peace of the world is still unknown.

However, he has made up his mind to reform the system and establish a new deal, and he has already started to do it. From the first step of promoting the new deal, he stopped.

Let Cai Yan become the inspector general.

Even if he personally ended the New Deal and directly opened a door, it also showed his determination, no matter whether he succeeds or fails, he must reform the law and reform the system with an absolutely firm mind.

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

Daming Palace.

Nine floors.

It should be the first time for Cai Yan to step here. In the past, even if she was a queen, she was not qualified to step into the Daming Palace. This is where the political center of the Ming Dynasty lies.

Non-Daming officials are not qualified to step into this building and palace.

"Climbing high and looking far, looking down at the world, the nine-story building of the Daming Palace is the must!" Cai Yan was dressed in a strong suit, her hair was tied up, and she was heroic. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, she looked at the tiny figure on the street below, There are some inexplicable feelings in my heart.

"Although it is a beautiful scene, it is also a responsibility!"

Sitting at the desk, Mu Jing was signing the document. Hearing Cai Yan's words, he couldn't help but smile, and said, "Every time I stand here, I see that the people coming and going below are not people, but It is my own responsibility, standing in this position for too long will be very tiring!"

"What my husband said is true, how hard it is to take the people of the world as my own responsibility, and what a burden my husband feels when I go every day!" Cai Yan turned his head, looked at Mu Jing's sharp side face, and felt a little nervous in his heart. A trace of distress.

"There is a burden, but it's just so-so!"

Mujing didn't have much thought, and said, "Some things, just get used to them!"

Cai Yan came over, knelt and sat in front of Mujing's desk, took a deep breath, and said: "My husband will forcefully rectify my name this time, will it make them complain about my husband? In today's troubled times, it is necessary for the monarch and his ministers to be of the same mind. Can rule the world!"

"Complaints are not enough!"

Mujing put down the Langhao gold pen in his hand, raised his head, looked at Cai Yan's pretty and resolute face, and said softly: "Politics is like this, there is no right or wrong, although I am a great son of heaven, it is impossible for me to let Everyone is satisfied with me. Those who can gain a foothold in this Daming Palace have their own standpoints. I will not cater to them, and they may not cater to me. They each rely on their own abilities. In the end, it is just a big wave, yes. Stay, those who are wrong will leave, it's such a simple thing!"

Politics is such a cruel thing.

If possible, he hopes that Cai Yan can be a beautiful wife with peace of mind. Unfortunately, Cai Yan has ambitions, she will not be willing to be a canary, nor will she be happy.

"If my husband does something wrong, will my husband also leave the court?" It's not that Cai Yan doesn't understand politics, it's just that she hasn't been exposed to high-level struggles before and lacks experience, so she seems a little novice. The talent is very good, as long as you practice a little, you can at least be a person at the level of an assistant queen mother in the future.

Of course, no one can say for sure what will happen in the future. In a life-and-death scene, who will end first is still uncertain.

"The truth is like this!"

Mu Jing nodded, but changed his voice, and said: "But they don't have the ability, and even if I lose, I won't be able to reach this point. Looking at Daming, I am the only monarch. I don't even have a brother, let alone an heir." , they can't find a second suitable successor, so the worst case is just being emptied!"

In the history of dynasties, those imperial powers lost to the ministers, and then they were abruptly emptied, and finally abdicated to let the virtuous, such as Tang Gaozu Li Yuan.

He just lost to his own son.

"Overhead? Then they don't have such skills!"

Cai Yan thought for a while, and finally denied the emergence of this situation. No one in the Ming court had the ability to take away Mu Jing's power, and the military power has always been in Mu Jing's hands.

If this happens, it will only make Mu Jing bloody the court.

This made her feel much more at ease.

The generation of power is to make people feel uneasy, because gaining and losing will make people feel too much loss, and only when they are afraid of losing will they do something that goes against their sincerity, that is, as the saying goes, getting lost in power middle.

"What's your plan for the future layout of Mingfeng Bank?"

Cai Yan is not a weak woman, she belongs to the kind who is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and her inner strength is unmatched by ordinary men.

It was a very difficult step for Mu Jing to rectify her name. Since ancient times, most of the women who took part in politics were roosters.

She has also retreated once.

But in the end she strengthened her mind, on the one hand because she has such a fighting spirit, on the other hand she sees expectations for herself in Mu Jing.

Since she was determined to stand up, she didn't want to cause trouble for Mujing, but hoped to help Mujing. Mingfeng Bank cannot be controlled by others, it must be in her hands.

This bank has already played an indispensable role in the Ming court.

"The chief inspector is always the chief inspector, not the big shopkeeper, so you have to change your mind, let go of the business properly, focus on personnel, first suppress Zhang Yuantong!" Mu Jing said.

Zhang Heng, Zhang Yuantong, the head of the Zhang family in Wuyin, the big shopkeeper of Hengtong Commercial Bank, a hero in business, and a little famous in the world.

"This should be fine!"

Cai Yan nodded.

"Don't underestimate Zhang Yuantong." Mu Jing said softly: "He is a very talented businessman. In terms of his business talent, he is even higher than you. You will, and he will. If he does, you may not. !"

Zhang Heng, that is a business genius, he followed Mu Jing to establish such a giant as Jingping Trading Company, although Jingping Trading Company was disbanded later.

But Zhang Heng is still the leader among Wanshang.

Xu Lin, Sun Hao, Xu Shen, Gong Chang, the best of the Wan merchants, were all breathless by him. If he hadn't dared to be too public, there would be no Wan merchants in the world, only the members of the Zhang clan. Hengtong Commercial Bank.

But Zhang Heng is not only a talent in business, he also has some political wisdom, at least he understands low-key, and Hengtong has been involved in many official projects of Ming Dynasty in recent years.

It is better to make the Ming court have a better impression of him through the way of sharing profits.

This time, Liu Jin pushed him out, but after many considerations, he was not the only candidate Liu Jin could choose, but he was indeed the luckiest one.

It is a rare thing in the world to jump in vain and become a member of the second rank.

"I have dealt with Hengtong a lot in the past few years. Zhang Yuantong is a little low-key, but I dare not underestimate him, and I have suffered from him before!"

Cai Yan said softly: "Hengtong Bank of Hengtong Commercial Bank is considered to be the best private bank. It has a good foundation in Xiangzhou, Nanzhou. When Mingfeng established a branch in Xiangzhou, Nanzhou, it fought a battle. It seemed like a big victory, but he suffered a lot. He gave me the feeling that he had means, but he kept it hidden and it was not easy to use. In the end, he withdrew by himself, but although he withdrew from the competition for the storage business, he hit me backhanded Unprepared, Mingfeng missed the opportunity to lend money to merchants in Xiangzhou. Most of the merchants in Xiangzhou are in collusion with Hengtong. , In terms of the price of Shu brocade, it has been fried up, and we lost no less than [-] gold in order to suppress it. Although the loss is not big, it is still a big loss!"

"Mingfeng is your home game!" Mu Jing smiled when he heard the words, but there was no surprise. If Zhang Heng was so easy to deal with, Liu Jin would give them back the experience for nothing. Now that Liu Jin pushes Zhang Heng out, then He is determined to tear a bloody path inside Mingfeng, but he is not worried, Cai Yan's ability is not weaker than Zhang Heng's, and Cai Yan has Cai Yan's advantage. Her home court advantage can make Zhang Heng Heng suffered a disadvantage: "Don't be polite with him, suppress him if he should. Since he wants to enter the officialdom, he must enjoy the treatment in the officialdom. But there is one thing, Mingfeng can't be messed up. Next year Daming Tongbao will be released. Feng has to take on a very important position, and Da Ming Tong Bao will replace Da Han Tong Bao in currency, and even the slightest mistake will lead to chaos in our Daming economy, this is the bottom line!"

"understand!"

Cai Yan nodded: "I will take care of the overall situation!"

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

The matter of Mingfeng Bank has come to an end for the time being, and the follow-up matters depend on who can securely live in Mingfeng Bank's position, Cai Yan or Zhang Heng.

If Zhang Heng emptied Cai Yan, then it would be a matter of time before Mingfeng Bank belonged to Zhengshitang, and Mujing couldn't stop it at that time.

Once Cai Yan suppresses Zhang Heng's ability, it also shows that the Zhengshitang has no ability to take charge of Mingfeng, and Mingfeng falls back into Cai Yan's hands. At that time, Cai Yan can justifiably take the next step and directly assume the position of the big shopkeeper.

This is also Mu Jing's idea. He is paving the way for Cai Yan step by step, so that Cai Yan can truly become a part of the officialdom of Daming, the official position of the second rank, instead of just being sidelined all the time.

However, for Mujing's reform and system reform, and the construction of the New Deal, this is only one step, and it is impossible for him to put all his thoughts on it.

The Ming court had to face a multitude of things. As an emperor, he had to have a broader vision.

Not just internally.

Also look outside.

Although the war is now in the stage of truce, no one can guarantee that there will be no movement outside. Once soldiers and horses press up, it will inevitably lead to another big battle.

This possibility is unlikely, but this kind of preparation must be done at all times. After all, it is still a troubled world, and the so-called war is just a matter of a moment.

"Your Majesty, Cao Cao and Sun Ce have already met!"

Jing Wusi's news is still very well informed.

This is what happened half a day ago.

It only took them ten hours, less than a day, to send the news back to Yudu City.

"Meet?"

Mu Jing was also quite surprised by the news, and finally narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a long time, and then quietly said: "Is there any specific news?"

"no!"

Yue Shu cupped his hands and said: "Their meeting was very secret, there was no third person present, and even the guards were isolated. Jing Wusi has tried to inquire as much as possible, but we have washed away with our strength in Xudu, and now we are all in the same room. In the latent stage, there is too little news to inquire about!"

"Ok!"

Mujing understood.

When Tan Zong and Zhao Xin participated in the mutiny in Xudu, he knew that Jing Wusi's influence in Xudu had to be hidden.

This is for the future.

Moreover, Yelou under Cao Cao's command should not be underestimated. Jia Xu is a person who is born to hover in the dark. Even if Tan Zong is more experienced than him, he can't suppress him everywhere.

Yelou has cleaned Jingwusi's stronghold time and time again.

If Jing Wusi is not cautious at this time, he can only give experience to Yelou. When the news network in Xudu is cut off, it will be a tragedy.

"I'm a little surprised that Cao Mengde believes in Sun Bofu so much. You know, Sun Bofu is such a master of martial arts, even Cao Mengde's favorite generals can't save him if he is assassinated at close range!"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice.

He didn't ask Yue Shu, but asked in a natural way, just asking himself.

He had to think about this question.

"By the way, did Xu make any moves after their meeting?"

Mu Jing asked.

"Nothing has been discovered for now!" Yue Shu said: "The time may be too tight, maybe there will be news back later!"

"Keep an eye on it!"

Mu Jing rubbed his temples, and said helplessly: "Da Ming is still too popular, and they are overwhelmed. They are destined to force them to unite. What we are about to face is not a prince, but all the big men. Princes!"

"Yes!" Yue Shu nodded.

"In addition, Hebei should also pay close attention. Since they are united, they will never tolerate Yuan Shao. Yuan Benchu ​​is not a person who can bow his head to Cao Mengde. It is imperative to solve Hebei's problem, but Yuan Benchu ​​is not necessarily easy to deal with. !" Mu Jing said: "I really look forward to it, Hebei can give me a surprise!"

"Commander Tan has already gone to Hebei. We have a certain layout in Hebei. It just depends on whether we can grasp this feast. In the chaos of the layout, we still have some opportunities!"

"Run away again?" Mu Jing frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to stop you, but I really can't stop you!" Yue Shu said with a wry smile.

Tan Zong, the commander of the Zuo Division of Jingwu Division, is a person who can't be idle.

"I should have broken his other leg. I think he can be quieter!" Both Wu Si and the Privy Council have a certain layout in Hebei, so he has to make a trip in person.
