Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1870

"Your Majesty, Lu Bu has a heart like a wolf. Although he was defeated at the beginning, he still fought to the end. I don't know how many sons he slaughtered. He exhausted himself before he was captured. After being captured, he has always refused to obey us. If he wins the army, Didn't go north, but instead killed a carbine?" Xu Shu asked in a deep voice.

"One moment, another moment!"

Mu Jing sighed: "If there is still a choice, I won't be unavailable!"

He thought for a while, and then said: "As for whether he dares to kill a carbine or not, it depends on his own choice. I have given him a chance. Is he willing to go outside the pass and die, or is he willing to die in our hands? It depends on what he thinks!"

"Row!"

Xu Shu nodded. He also knew that the Ming army had no soldiers and generals to dispatch, but they didn't know that when they watched Youzhou being ravaged by foreign iron cavalry, so they took a gamble and took a risk. On the contrary, they can clean it up, but at least they have done their best, he said in a low voice: "Then I will do it now!"

"No!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "You go to Gao Shun, and let Gao Shun do it!"

"Gao Shun?"

"Zhang Wenyuan is the only two brothers, Lu Fengxian has no brains, but Gao Shun has brains, he knows the seriousness!" Mu Jing said with a sneer: "If Gao Shun doesn't know the seriousness, then no matter what I do, I will You are worthy of Zhang Wenyuan!"

If he doesn't kill some people, it's out of consideration for Zhang Liao.

Different positions.

It is normal to fight on the battlefield, you will live and die, and each will live in peace.

But after being defeated and captured, if he insisted on killing these people, then for Zhang Liao, it would be a thorn in his heart forever.

For a handsome talent like Zhang Liao who can command the main force of the Ming army, Mu Jing is more tolerant and tolerant.

Always be cautious about the mentality of loving generals.

"I understand!"

Xu Shu nodded, and said: "I will make it clear to Gao Shun. As for what they do, that is their business, but the Artillery Army will keep an eye on them. If they dare to mess around, they will be killed without mercy!"

"Ok!"

Mujing didn't say much, it should be done, and there will be problems if there is no precaution.

"What about Hebei?" Mu Jing asked again: "There is such a big problem in Youzhou, has Hebei been affected? In addition, there are so many powerful families in Hebei, and there are so many gentry and wealthy families, can Yang Xiu hold back?"

Yang Biao went south, and now he is in Luoyang City, and has been in Luoyang City, Mujing has put him in the air, and Yang Xiu is the one who is in charge of Jizhou, Hebei.

Yang Xiu can be regarded as a person who has left a famous saying in history, and he is also the kind of person who was killed because he said a wrong sentence.

However, the talent of this person cannot be underestimated.

The strength of the aristocratic families in this era can be maintained, it is not simply because of their control of land and population, but more because of the ability to read and develop their talents, and the talents are in the hands of the aristocratic families.

Among the scholars, Yang Xiu is also considered to be the best, and he is one of the representative figures of young intelligence, and he is also the heir cultivated by the Yang family. Whether it is vision, talent, scheming, or city, he is one of the best.

"There is some turmoil in Hebei!"

Xu Shu said: "Yang Xiu did a good job, but because of the frequent alternation of power in Hebei, there has been a lot of turmoil in the local area, and the order has been changed day by day, just like a soldier is a king, which has brought too much turmoil to the people and made some people Ambitious, with the support of some gentry and wealthy families, like bamboo shoots after spring, many county magistrates have emerged to support themselves!"

"In troubled times, this is the case. When they found out that the power center in Hebei had collapsed, they didn't even know who they wanted to report to. Naturally, they had such thoughts!"

Mu Jing sighed, and said: "I don't know whose fault it is, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, or us, but no matter what, the situation in Hebei is already like this, the only thing we can do is to pacify Hebei as soon as possible!"

"Chen Gong is preparing to lead his army northward!"

Xu Shu said: "Zhaoming's Second Army and Zhaoming's Third Army have all been mobilized. Although the casualties are a bit heavy and it will take time to integrate, the elite can be mobilized. They will be able to cross the path and enter the official road in at most three days. Enter Wei County from Hanoi!"

"Chen Gong is still very steady!"

Mu Jing said: "But in Hebei, is there no one in charge of the Political Affairs Hall?"

"On the contrary, a few people have come, for example, the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials have come, but the current imperial court really dare not transfer too many backbones. It can only say that these people will be selected as a review team, and the officials in Hebei will be reviewed and dismissed. Find a way to supplement it locally, if it still works, then use it first!"

Xu Shu said: "Your Majesty, we can't be too harsh on the imperial court. The Zhaoming Pavilion and the Political Affairs Hall are already under great pressure. After all, we are ruling the world too fast. It is easy to conquer the world, but if you want to rule the world, you have to take your time." ah!"

After the first battle of the Shangdang, the overall situation of the world was settled, and the power was changed. The Ming Dynasty formally replaced the Han Dynasty and ruled the Central Plains, but this required talents.

"Let's get a doctor!"

Mu Jing thought it over for a while: "Yuan Zhi, pass on my order and tell Hu Zhao that this year there is a special case to open a course to obtain a scholar. There is no county exam, no state exam, one time, and a national exam. Anyone who studies can go to Yudu to sign up." take an exam!"

"Is it too anxious?"

Xu Shu was a little worried.

"will not!"

Mu Jing said: "Perhaps now many people are looking forward to me being able to open a course to obtain a scholar. I am also giving them a step down, and the world will be unified. Some people need to stand in line again!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Xu Shu immediately understood what Mu Jing was thinking.

To govern the world, it is impossible to beat all those people to death with a stick. If they are killed, the place will be chaotic, so he needs to accept these people again. The gentry and wealthy families in these places are actually the biggest ruling class.

After sorting them out, the place can settle down.

Instead of making them panic at this time and causing the place to be in turmoil, it is better to give them a chance and let them take refuge in the Ming court again.

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

Cai Yong's going north can indeed alleviate a lot of things. Even if Mu Jing is the emperor, his status among scholars will not be improved. More is awe, not absolute respect.

As for Cai Yong, what scholars have for him is a kind of faith, a kind of respect like a moth to a flame.

He went north in person, allowing many scholars in the north to ease their hostility towards the Ming court.

In the Luoyang Hotel, there are countless scholars visiting Cai Yong, and Cai Yong is a benevolent elder, and he used to be a Taixue priest and taught Taixue, so he is very tolerant to these scholars .

For Cai Yong, the most important thing at present are two people.

One is Yang Biao, whose status is comparable to his among the scholars.

The other one is Xun Yu, a rising star among scholars, who was crowned Wang Zuozhi's talent.

Take these two down.

Shihlin has been leveled by half, at least the voices against the Ming court’s ruling will drop a lot. The pens and mouthpieces of scholars can kill people. If they suppress scholars, relatively speaking, they will suppress half of the world.

The sky prison in Luoyang was broken down and then repaired, repaired and broken again, and now it has been rebuilt, and the prisoners are basically the top people.

Except for princes like Cao Cao and Liu Bei, who can be detained alone in a small courtyard, other civil and military generals, famous generals and counselors, are all held in a unified prison by the government.

Yang Biao, as a great Confucian and an important minister in the former court, still has some status. He was locked alone in a fairly clean cell.

"Brother Wen, I haven't seen you for many years. I never thought that when we meet again, it will be like this!"

Cai Yong looked at Yang Biao with some emotion.

"I never thought that the one who can have the last laugh is not Yuan Ciyang, Master Wang, nor Sima Jiangong, nor is it someone like this old man who takes one step at a time and counts three steps!"

Yang Biao looked at Cai Yong, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional: "It's you, Cai Bojie!"

Among them, Cai Bojie is the one who is stubborn, and everyone else is not a person who calculates the world, including Wang Zishi. Didn't Wang Yun support the young emperor back then, so he didn't have his own thoughts.

The Taiyuan Wang family is not a fuel-efficient lamp. If Wang Yun hadn't died, the Taiyuan Wang family would have the ability to become a powerful clan in the world.

"Everything is impermanent!"

Cai Yong said in a low voice: "When the late Emperor died, we all thought that a big change was imminent, we took a different path, and in the end we all had ups and downs in this troubled world!"

The first emperor he mentioned was Han Lingdi.

Not Shaodi.

When Emperor Ling was still there, the court ministers, even if they had different opinions at that time, their friendship was still possible, and there was some sympathy for each other.

"Brother Bojie is here to see me off today?"

Yang Biao asked suddenly.

"I don't need an old man to kill you!" Cai Yong shook his head: "Do you think that if you can grasp Dayi, he Mu Longtu will not dare to kill you? If you think so, you will be the one who will be killed in the end. You have to understand, What kind of person is this emperor who was killed from the son of a bandit in front of him!"

"It's because the old man thinks highly of himself!" Yang Biao smiled wryly: "The Wei army was defeated, and the old man was thinking whether there is still a chance, but he wanted some luck in his heart!"

"You didn't think wrong!"

Cai Yong said very frankly: "Although Mu Jing is a domineering person, he is too serious about the world. To him, killing you is just a thought, but he doesn't want to bear the consequences of killing you, so It’s only because of the incessant hesitation that you have now, and your luck is right!”

"That is to say, the old man has a good chance!"

Yang Biao's pupils burst out with a bright light.

He is not afraid of death.

He is already old, and whether he dies or not is not too important, but there is a knot in his heart, the Yang family can't collapse, not because he doesn't believe in Yang Xiu, but because Yang Xiu still can't hold on to the overall situation.

He should want to shield Yang from the wind and rain.

"Have!"

Cai Yong said: "Brother Wen Xian, you are a smart person. You are very clear about what your Majesty wants. Whether the Yang family can return to Guanzhong in the future depends on how you do it. Sometimes, you have to learn to choose!"

"You came today because you actually wanted to kill me!" Yang Biao said.

"Ok!"

Cai Yong nodded: "You are too dangerous. Compared with people like Cao Mengde and Liu Xuande, you are even more dangerous, because in the future Ming Dynasty will rule the world and cannot avoid these aristocratic families. If you kill you, the aristocratic family will lose a banner. Yang Xiu is too young If you can't hold the banner, the dragons will have no leader, so it's easier to deal with!"

Yang Biao smiled wryly: "Mulongtu really wants to punish the world's aristocratic families!"

"The old man also wondered at the beginning whether he targeted you because of his background. Later, I heard him say a word, but I understood a little. Most of the wealth is controlled by a few people. Fairness, where there is oppression, there will be resistance, even if such a court can get peace for a while, sooner or later, it will still be chaotic!"

Cai Yong said: "So I support the New Deal!"

"He thought so beautifully!" Yang Biao's eyes became confused: "When we were young, we all thought about such beautiful things, but in the end we all lost to the reality, didn't we?"

Even the children of aristocratic families, didn't they grow up from the blood of youth, and they also imagined that one day they would be absolutely fair, be able to act chivalrously, and fight against the strong and help the weak.

But gradually, they were assimilated by this world. They recognized their identities, learned to defend their positions and positions, and then became what they are today...

"That's you and me!"

Cai Yong said: "How do you know that he can't do things that we can't do? After all, he is the most amazing person I have seen in the past few decades, and he is also the best at creating miracles!"

"The old man still has to die, right?" Yang Biao asked.

"If I were you, I would not die!"

Cai Yong shook his head.

"But I can't make the Yang family a target!" Yang Biao yelled desperately.

"It's already a target!"

Cai Yong said: "With you or without you, it's like this. From the very beginning, the Yang family has no chance to choose. At the beginning it was you who went the wrong way. Now you should bear this responsibility. If you think Yang Xiu can bear it , you can also die, and die forever, can it solve the problem?"

"The old man only now knows why it was Mulongtu who got the world in the end, not Cao Mengde, Liu Xuande, and even more not Sun Bofu. These people can't be counted as his!"

Yang Biao suddenly aged more than ten years. He felt that life would be worse than death, but now, he couldn't die.

"Brother Wen, you can have your own tomorrow. As for the future choice, it is up to you. I hope we can sit and discuss in the future, cooking wine with green plums!" Cai Yong has achieved his goal, and he will not The entanglement went on, he still had more things to do.

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

In another cell.

A Confucian scholar is reading a book peacefully, as if nothing around him can affect his concentration on reading.

And at this time, the door opened.

He glanced up.

Somewhat surprised, he stood up and bowed his hands in salute: "Student Xun Yu, meet Cai Jijiu!"

"This Taixue has no students and no sacrificial wine!" Cai Yong shook his head.

"The gift can't be ignored!"

Xun Yu insisted on saluting.

"Wang Zuozhicai, at a certain time back then, I thought that your Xun family members were calling you too much. Even if you want to publicize your name and attract the imperial court to recruit you for an official career, you shouldn't have such a tone!"

Cai Yong took a deep look at Xun Yu. He is no stranger to this student. He has not been studying for a long time, but he has a deep memory. He sighed and said: "But later, the old man found out that Wang Zuo's talent is well-deserved!"
