Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1578 Political Affairs Hall II

"I didn't want him to continue to be in charge of the Zhengshitang!" Mu Jing's voice was indifferent, but it sounded like thunder in Cai Yong's heart.

"What does His Majesty mean?"

Cai Yong's pupils narrowed slightly, and he stared at Mujing intently.

"Isn't the meaning obvious!"

Mu Jing spread his hands and said, "Kuai Liang only went to attack Liu Zhongsun with my order!"

"Liu Xiang has made many meritorious deeds. Your Majesty is like this. Wouldn't it be chilling?"

Cai Yong gritted his teeth and asked in a low voice.

"I'm afraid too!"

Mu Jing sighed, and said: "To be honest, Liu Zhongsun has followed my father in Nanyang for many years. Although there are not many bright spots, he has made many achievements. The merits of good governance are not well-known. Although Liu Zhongsun's reputation is not as good as that of Hu Zhao, who is famous all over the world, he has made great contributions to laying the foundation of Ming Dynasty. In the past, the Ming army fought in all directions. The places where we settle are extremely narrow, and the money and wealth are scarce. In order to raise soldiers, local governance becomes even more important. If Liu Zhongsun hadn't worked hard for ten years, how could I, Ming Dynasty, have so much money to raise soldiers!"

Liu Jin is a talent.

This scholar who came from a poor family, used to be a counselor with Zhang Zi, the prefect of Nanyang, and later surrendered to Mushan on the battlefield. He was unwilling to be reconciled under Mushan's command, but he never neglected.

His ability is unassuming, but down-to-earth. He may not have the talent of Hu Zhao, nor the erudition of Cai Yong, nor the wisdom of Xi Zhicai, but he wins in the word of down-to-earth.

Since ancient times, the most feared thing in fighting the world is a fire in the backyard. Every time he can keep Daming's backyard tightly guarded, this is an inexorable feat.

But time is fate.

If the world wants to develop, it can only look forward. Whoever is in the way will give way. For the world, for the people, and for the progress of the times, some things must be done even if they are against their will.

"Since you must know, why are you so cruel?" Cai Yong was puzzled. The Mujing he knew was definitely not a cold person. Even in the past, he felt that Mujing was sometimes too benevolent for a woman, but now Mu Jing, could it be because he has become completely unknown to him once he ascended the throne.

He has seen more than one emperor.

Also read more than one history.

Some emperors in history are vividly remembered. Since ancient times, the people who sat on that chair seemed to be born to be cold.

But he was still unwilling to let Mujing become such a person.

"I'm not cruel!"

Mu Jing shook his head, staring at Cai Yong with burning eyes: "The world is so cruel, for the sake of the overall situation, we must give up Xiaoren. I think you should understand this truth!"

"Is it because Liu Jin blocked the way of the New Deal?" Cai Yong's heart skipped a beat, and an idea flashed in his mind, and he blurted out immediately.

"Correct!"

Mu Jing didn't dodge, but admitted openly: "He's blocking the way!"

Cai Yong was silent.

Politics, positions, aspirations, future………

Sometimes the officialdom is like a big dye vat, even if you don't want to do something, there is no way to stop it, and you even have to find a reason in your heart.

"Cai Xiang, I have already told you the question you asked. Here, I am the emperor and you are the minister. Next, you need to answer some questions!" It exploded, and directly suppressed it: "Liu Jin must go down. As for the Zhengshitang, I plan to hand it over to you. How dare you accept it?"

"pass it to me?"

Cai Yong's heart skipped a beat.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at Mu Jing, the deep black pupils made him a little scared, and he completely forgot their identities between the husband and the son-in-law, just as Mu Jing said, now he is a minister, Mu Jing It's you.

Your heart is unpredictable.

Regal is profound.

At this moment, Cai Yong truly felt the inviolable majesty of Mujing, an emperor, commanding the world.

"Is there a problem?" Mu Jing asked.

"I'm not capable enough!" Cai Yong shook his head and said softly, "Not enough to take on important responsibilities!"

"Don't dare, or don't want to?" Mu Jing asked calmly.

"Have it all!"

Cai Yong thought for a while, his eyes became clearer, and he replied to Mu Jing: "The Zhengshitang is already a vortex, if Liu Jin can't keep it, then His Majesty will further bully the Zhengshitang. Your Majesty's move has already made Prime Minister Hu unable to resist. If the subject falls into His Majesty's trap, Prime Minister Hu will not be able to survive alone, and His Majesty will be able to cover the sky with one hand at the court, this is not the blessing of the court!"

"Why do you all think that if I am a dictator with holy will, it will be a disaster for the people of the world?" Mu Jing couldn't help asking.

"Because people make mistakes, so does the emperor, but for the mistakes made by the emperor, the people of the world must bear the consequences!" Cai Yong gritted his teeth and answered Mu Jing: "I don't want to see your majesty have any chance to make mistakes! "

"Then, you still read it for the sake of the world!"

Mu Jing smiled, and said: "This is actually true, and I agree with it very much. There is no perfect person in this world. Everyone has emotions and tempers. It is inevitable to make mistakes, so I agree with you. The Zhaoming Pavilion was only established to limit my lawless power!"

"Since Your Majesty understands everything, why do you want to do this?" Cai Yong didn't understand. Mujing was too contradictory. The Zhaoming Pavilion he built with his own hands was for the purpose of decentralizing power. Now he wants to take back the power, which is to make people Can't figure it out.

"Da Ming needs healthy development, so there are Zhaoming Pavilion, Zhengshitang, Privy Council, Metropolitan Procuratorate... But now I need to do something for the New Deal!" Mu Jing thought for a while, and answered Cai Yong: "Zhaoming Pavilion is like I shot myself in the foot by lifting a rock, so for the sake of the New Deal, within the rules, shouldn’t it be right for me to increase the power of the monarchy?”

"Your Majesty's words are true, but it's my minister Menglang!" Cai Yong's pupils changed, and then he remembered that Mu Jing's actions were within the rules.

If it's bad, it's Liu Jin. Liu Jin is conscientious and never makes mistakes, but he is dragged down by his son.

The participation in this book is not groundless.

Therefore, although he came to Xingshi to question the crimes for the stability of the court, it was untenable in principle, because the case filed by the Metropolitan Procuratorate followed the procedures and did not go beyond the slightest bit.

"Cai Xiang, it is inevitable that Liu Jin will come down, you should think about how to deal with the Zhengshitang!" Mu Jing told him firmly: "Instead of worrying about Hu Xiang, you should think about it, once the Zhengshitang falls In my hands, what will be the consequences of that?"

"Your Majesty, do you know that you are the king of a country, do you still want to make Daming turbulent?" Cai Yong frowned.

He wanted to get rid of his own, but he forgot that if he didn't go up, there might not be anyone in Mujing's hands, such as Qin Song, Bao Su, Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan, all have hope, the first two are a little less Fame, the latter two are less seniority, but if Mu Jing pushes, there is no chance of ascending to the throne.

If it were them, it would be better.

And Kuai Liang.

Kuai Liang is the censor of the Zuo capital. If he goes further and moves into the Zhengshitang, there is no hope. Did you let Mu Jing fiddle with it?

At that time, the Privy Council, the Political Affairs Hall, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will all support Mu Jing, so whether it is him or Hu Zhao, they will all face a huge crisis.

This is not acceptable to him.

In fact, for the New Deal, Hu Zhao only suppressed it, not opposed it. They agreed with the New Deal, but hoped that the New Deal would go slower and make Daming more stable. They were conservatives, not oppositionists, while Mu Jing was a radical.

And I am neutral.

Now that Mu Jing's attack was too fierce, he had to join forces with Hu Zhao, but suddenly found that even if they joined forces, they didn't have enough confidence to compete with Mu Jing.

This made him feel a little helpless.

"I hope more than anyone else that Daming can live in peace and prosperity forever!" Mu Jing's faint voice was extremely confident: "But you and I think differently, we don't agree with each other, you can't understand what I think, Even if there is turmoil, for me, for the New Deal, it is just labor pains, and after the labor pains, there will be light, and I have always firmly believed in this!"

He believes that the New Deal can bring new life to the people of this era. This is almost a belief, so he will persistently promote the development of the New Deal.

He even did not hesitate to attack Liu Jin.

"I can't understand Your Majesty!" Cai Yong smiled bitterly, and said, "But since Your Majesty has made a decision, I will do my job well. Once I enter the Ming Dynasty, I am a minister of the Ming Dynasty!"

"be yourself!"

Mu Jing said: "The matter has just begun, you don't need to give me an answer so quickly, go back and think about it, of course, sometimes, the choice is a painful thing, one thought of heaven, one thought of hell!"

"Does Your Majesty expect me to go to heaven or hell?"

Cai Yong looked at Mu Jing, this increasingly mature young man seemed to have changed beyond recognition, but he was still a little soft-hearted towards him.

"I don't even want it!"

Mu Jing thought about it hard, and said: "I hope you live a long life, after all, if you have any accidents, Zhao Ji will be very sad!"

"Humph!"

Cai Yong snorted coldly and walked away.

………………

The chat on the ninth floor broke up unhappily, but the eighth floor fell into a dead silence.

Hu Zhao threw a playbook in his hand to Liu Jin: "Look, is the above playbook true?"

Liu Jin took a look.

His face was already pale.

He gritted his teeth: "Subordinates are not effective in teaching their children, they should be punished!"

He, Liu Jin, is a son of a poor family. His old mother has supported him for half of his life in studying, and his wife has worked hard for half of his life to support his official career.

His life was full of ups and downs. Before meeting Mu Shan, he had no reputation. He was just a counselor. Later, he rose to the sky, but his wife died of illness.

leave a son.

The old mother spoiled her for a long time, and with her growing power, she became more and more arrogant.

Although he has learned a lot in the past.

But repeated lessons never change.

I thought it was just some small bad habits that would not affect the overall situation, and I was ashamed of my son, so I kept perfunctory and didn't dare to deal with it.

Unexpectedly, this matter was actually brought to the fore.

Suddenly, chills filled his heart.

"Punishment?"

Hu Zhao took the case and said, "Do you think it's a trivial matter? The Metropolitan Procuratorate is watching us. Don't you know? Do you know that this can be turned into a small matter, but the memorial directly went to Zhaoming Pavilion?" ?"

"His Majesty……"

Liu Jin is not stupid, he realized it quickly, his complexion became even more ugly, and his heart was filled with grief and indignation: "Why, why is this?"

"why?"

Hu Zhao sighed weakly: "Your Majesty wants to make big plans, but we have become a stumbling block on his way forward. How could he let us and remain indifferent!"

He clenched his fists: "After all, we underestimated His Majesty's determination!"

"For the New Deal?"

Liu Jin understood it thoroughly, but it made him even more frightened.

If so, this matter cannot pass.

"This matter has been overwhelmed!" Hu Zhao looked at Liu Jin lightly, and said in a low voice, "Do you have to be prepared?"

"If Your Majesty touches me, won't my reputation be ruined, and I'm not afraid that the hearts of the world will be disturbed?"

Liu Jin still didn't believe it, but Mu Jing dared to touch him.

"For the sake of the Political Affairs Hall, there is nothing His Majesty dare not do, and you must understand that our Majesty never cares about our own reputation!"

Hu Zhao shook his head and said: "As for the world, as long as he is here, the world will not be turbulent, and you should not overestimate yourself. Dealing with you is just an internal struggle, and there will not be too much turmoil, even if some scholars can't see it. , but he is famous for this matter, in other words, if all the things mentioned above are true, it is only natural for His Majesty to move you, and it is not a matter of the same party!"

"Hu Xiang is right. I did this myself, but I have to check this matter. Although Liu Zi is not an outstanding person, he is not so nonsense!"

After all, Liu Jin is the prime minister in charge of the political affairs hall, and he will not be in a mess at this time. He must verify all the things in the memorial before he can decide what to do next.

"You are conscientious in your work and never make mistakes, but you have such a big mistake in the management of the children, it is fate!" Hu Zhao said: "Since the procuratorate dares to report this matter, it is likely to be inseparable!"

"Then me?"

Liu Jin's complexion became even paler.

"There is only one way now!"

"any solution?"

"Don't wait for His Majesty to make a move!" Hu Zhao said in a low voice: "The political affairs hall you gave up yourself, first keep the position of the Minister of Political Affairs, otherwise..."

His pupils were a bit worried: "I dare not say what step your Majesty will take!"

"Could it be that he still dared to kill me?"

Liu Jin said angrily.

"I won't kill you, and His Majesty is not such a cold person, and the court dispute is just a difference of opinion!" Hu Zhao shook his head: "But it is possible to relegate you to Bai Ding!"

"The subordinates are not reconciled!"

Liu Jin was always a little unwilling.

"Do you want to go to court?" Hu Zhao asked.

"Even if we go to court, we may not lose!"

Liu Jin thought for a while and said.

This is a fact.
