Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 355

In the capital city in September, it has completely entered autumn, the leaves are flying, and the coolness is everywhere. The weather has turned cold, and the people have to wear two more clothes.

"Husband, today you want to wear the crown clothes. You don't like to wear this crown clothes on weekdays. Where are you going?" In the back room of the Jingping courtyard, Cai Yan gently tidied Mu Jing's robes with a pair of small hands. , her virtuousness is clearly evident at this moment.

"Your father sent someone to inform me that he wants me to accompany him to a banquet!" Mu Jing said, "You must wear a crown uniform."

"If you go to a banquet, you need to wear a crown. It should be a scholar banquet, right?" Cai Yan was a little overjoyed, and said in a low voice: "Father rarely brings people to a scholar banquet, this time he is willing to take you to a scholar banquet. ,Very good!"

Scholars' banquet is an occasion for scholars to cook wine with green plums. Most of the scholars are scholars. Scholars chat, cook sake, talk about government affairs, and talk about everything. This is a kind of communication in this era.

Of course, the so-called scholars' banquet also has three, six or nine grades. Cai Yong, a great Confucian of this level, personally convened it. Naturally, it was the top scholar's banquet in Luoyang City. Countless scholars squeezed their heads and wanted to squeeze in.

"It should be, I feel that my father seems to have a better attitude towards me recently. Since the last time I was blocked by him in your boudoir, he almost didn't let someone kill me. For half a month, I When I went to pay my respects to the Cai Mansion, he was stunned and ignored me, it was hard for me to remember me, I have to behave well today!"

Mu Jing said with a smile.

Lao Taishan and his son-in-law are born to dislike each other, and Cai Yong's old stubbornness and Mu Jing's young people who don't know the existence of etiquette are even more incompatible.

"You still said, you still said, if you hadn't messed around last time, how could everyone in the Cai Mansion know that I would be ashamed to go back!"

When Cai Yan heard this, her face turned red immediately, and she couldn't help but let her powder fist hit Mu Shan a few times.

That night, she was still nervous at first, for fear that her father would embarrass Mujing, but how could she think that her husband was so bold to steal incense and jade in the middle of the night, and she was also soft-hearted. He messed around, and was blocked by his father in the house the next day, which almost made her ashamed to see others.

"But this time, Dad will let you go to the scholar's banquet, which means that Dad has accepted you as a son-in-law. You have to behave well. Dad is actually very yelling. He cares about face. If you lose face for him, He's sure to be angry!"

Cai Yan instructed gently, in a nagging voice, quite warm.

"I see!"

Mujing's eyes were a little fixed, staring at Cai Yan at this moment, her actions and voice were always so gentle, her personality was like water, making their life like water, but like water, it was plain, but it flowed slowly.

When you marry a wife, you should marry Cai Zhaoji.

This may be what he felt after he got married.

Going to the hall, going to the kitchen, reading poetry and books, made by female celebrities, Cai Yan can be regarded as showing all the advantages of women in this era.

In terms of life, she is probably the most suitable.

Because she is always so gentle, even if she doesn't speak loudly, but this is just her performance in front of her. As Jingping's hostess, she can handle affairs in the back house properly, regardless of her performance He has a soft side, but his personality is round on the outside and strong on the inside. In a short period of time, he can make the spring, summer, autumn and winter in the Jingping courtyard obey his orders. This method is not bad.

"Go quickly, if you go late, Dad will be angry!"

"Ok!"

Mu Jing said: "I will try to come back and have dinner with you!"

"Then I'll cook some side dishes!" Cai Yanming's eyes lit up slightly, and the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a smile.

After Mujing tidied up, he was about to go out.

But when going out, Huo Yu came up and hurriedly reported two or three things.

"My lord, Chen Gongtai wants to see you!"

"Can't he bear it?" Since Mu Jing brought Chen Gong back, he has been confinement in the quiet courtyard, no interrogation, no sentence, no answer, no conversation, if you say Chen Gong is calm, It's only now that I open my mouth to ask to see you.

Mujing thought for a while, and said: "Let's cool him down for a few more days, and don't treat him badly when eating and drinking, so he can serve you well!"

"Okay!" Huo Yu nodded.

"Cough cough!"

Huo Yu couldn't help coughing a few times. Ever since he was stabbed and hurt his vitality, his body was very weak, and he could hold on before, but recently the whole party of the pastoral department has been busy. Secretary-General Jing was naturally very busy, and his health was a lot worse.

"Zhongheng, don't be too busy with everything, and take care of your body. Even if the sky hasn't fallen, even if it does fall, there will be a tall man standing there!" Mu Jing frowned, and patted him on the shoulder.

"I see!" Huo Yu showed a pale smile, and he remembered something: "My lord, there is one more thing, the members of the Wei family have been imprisoned for a while, and Ting Wei wants to deal with them , but you once ordered them to be temporarily detained, and I want to ask them how to deal with them!"

"Wei Ke?"

Mu Jing pondered for a while, and said: "Everyone in Wei's mansion, let them go. As for Wei Ji, the official will be reinstated!"

Everyone in the Wei family in the capital was affected by Wei Zhongdao's assassination and went to jail. The people who were drawn out because of that incident were also treated similarly, but the head of the Wei family, Wei Ke, was a nobleman who once surrendered to Mujing However, the hundreds of years of aristocratic heritage is still there, and he needs Wei to covet this pawn.

"No!" Huo Yu complied.

"Also let Wei Ji come to see me, arrange it as soon as possible!"

Mujing considered the current situation, some things are passable, Wei Ke is still useful, but there must be an explanation for how to use it.

"Understood!"

Then Mu Jing walked out of the gate, got into the carriage, and rushed to the banquet.

Today's scholars' banquet was held in a wine shop in the south of the city, and it was quite lively. Under Cai Yong's personal guidance, he had a conversation with many people at the banquet. He is very knowledgeable, if he was in the past, he would not have had the chance to join in, but he is now the son-in-law of Cai Yong, not to mention that he can completely integrate into Luoyang Shilin, but among the scholars, he can be regarded as having knowledge, With conversation, over time, it is enough to build a network.

Now he understands somewhat why Mushan insisted that he marry the Cai family's daughter.

This era, to put it bluntly, is an era of scholars, whose status is above everything else.

Even if the Mu family is in full swing now, Mu Shan is in the prime minister's position, and Mu's soldiers are suppressing the capital, in the hearts of countless scholars, he is nothing but a turkey. Without minions, he is worthless one day.

……

In the evening, the somewhat drunk Mu Jing returned to the Xiangguo Mansion.

"Why did you drink so much wine!" Cai Yan cooked a table of good dishes, but she didn't expect that when a drunkard came back, she rushed to meet him and took Mu Jing's swaying body from Huo Shao's hand. She couldn't help feeling a little heartbroken .

"Your father has a heart, and he still hates me!" Mu Jing held Cai Yan's waist with one hand, breathed out the alcohol, and said, "I almost didn't get out alive because I drank it cup after cup! "

"You!"

Cai Yan hurriedly ordered: "He'er, go to the dining room and ask them to cook some rescue soup, and bring it as soon as possible, spring tea, and prepare bath water, I want to bathe my husband to wash away the smell of alcohol!"

"Yes!"

Several little maidservants moved quickly.

Cai Yan supported Mu Jing on the bed, and then took off the outer crown suit on him, and asked someone to fetch a plate of water, and gently wiped some wine stains on his face with a towel, On the one hand, there were still some complaints in a low voice: "Dad, it's true, I know that my husband is not old and can't drink well, so why don't I know and look at him carefully!"

"Don't go!"

Mujing's hand held Cai Yan's little hand.

"I'm not leaving!" Cai Yan comforted in a gentle voice.

"sorry Sorry sorry……"

The drunken Mu Jing always yelled these words, maybe only at this time, he would think of the woman who was mercilessly let down by him, that woman who had lost her sweetness and remained strong, and now became vigorous and resolute , the woman in charge of the Divine Guard is always a string in his heart.

"You are always sorry for her!"

Cai Yan touched his forehead with a towel, and she heard the faint voice as if she had her own. She gently stroked Mujing's face: "Because I am your wife, right? In fact, I shouldn't be jealous, but I can't help it, what kind of person is she that makes you never forget her!"

A woman's intuition is always so terrible. From the moment her husband lingered in front of the door on the wedding night, she knew that this man must have a burden in his heart that he couldn't let go of.

She can pretend not to know.

Life has to go on, this man, as a husband, he has done enough.

But every night when she wakes up in the middle of the night, her thoughts will be confused, she can't help being jealous, and can't help but think about what kind of woman her husband has in his heart.

She also tried to inquire, but the mouths of the four maids in Jingpingyuan, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, were too tight to open.

As time went by, she didn't take it seriously anymore.

As long as she knows that the man by her side is a husband who loves her, that's enough.

……

A sweet dream.

When he woke up the next day, Mu Jing became refreshed again, and the events of last night had long been forgotten.

Early in the morning, Tan Zong came to the door. Recently, Jing Wusi has been busier than usual. When news comes back, he needs to constantly judge the value of the news. Tan Zong, a young man, feels powerless for the first time. After all, he has no experience. Frustration, this Jingwu Division is getting bigger and bigger, and he still has some shortcomings in handling this big banner.

"My son, this is just passed down from Nanyang today!"

Tan Zong handed something to Mujing.

"Follow the royal decree?"

Mu Jing sat cross-legged, looked at the imperial edict in his hand, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes: "It's only less than half a month, Cao Cao's speed is really fast, so fast Let the imperial decree be passed on to the world!"

He had already thought that King Qin's imperial decree would appear, but he didn't expect Cao Cao's movements to be so fast, which caught him by surprise.

It has only been more than half a month since Cao Cao entered Chenliu. Logically, he should not be ready to go so soon, but now it seems that he has already prepared, and perhaps the Cao clan has already made plans for him.

This Cao Cao is really not to be underestimated.

Time is already the key to this battle. It seems that Cao Cao also understands that if Mu Shi is given enough time, his strength will become stronger and stronger.

"My son, I have sent someone to inquire about it. This imperial decree has been passed on very quickly. It has been spread all over the land of Yuyan. Every county guard has it. In the counties of Guanzhong, there are many county guards. Received such an imperial decree!"

"You continue to stare, you can't control the outside, but you can't mess inside the Guanzhong!"

Mujing thought for a while: "Pay special attention to one person, Huangfusong who guards Chang'an. The Guanzhong soldiers in this person's hands are not easy to fight, and they are a great threat to us. Once we face the heroes of the Kanto, we will definitely use all our strength to fight against them." Let's go, when Huangfusong stabs us, we will be finished, you must send me enough eyeliners to keep an eye on them!"

Whether Huangfusong will move is unknown, but his military strength should not be underestimated.

"Please rest assured, my son, Jing Wusi will definitely keep a close eye on their every move!"

Tan Zong nodded.

"Since Cao Cao has done what he wanted to do, now it depends on the reaction of the people in the world. This test is not easy for me, Mu, but it may not be difficult for me. They want to fight, and the only thing to do is to fight!" Mu Jing sighed, King Qin As soon as the imperial decree came out, the matter was irreversible, and the battle was imminent, the more he wanted to relax, the more oppressed he felt.

For the first time in this battle, he was uncertain.

"My lord, there is one more thing. The Xiliang army has become more and more active recently, and they have gathered more and more soldiers and horses outside the western suburbs. If this continues, the threat to our city will become greater and greater!"

Tan Zong continued.

"Frequent movements?" Mu Jing narrowed his eyes: "How do you say?"

"Since Dong Zhuo entered the court, the main force of the Xiliang army seems to have come out of Xiliang!"

Tan Zongdao: "I didn't pay much attention to it before, but I checked it carefully recently. If the seemingly inconspicuous soldiers and horses are completely gathered together, I am afraid that there will be no less than [-] soldiers and horses. Now they are basically gathered in the Hedong area. It is also a place of chaos. There are the Huns and the Yellow Turbans. It may not be so easy for their soldiers and horses to get out. Before that, Niu Fu, the general of Dong Zhuo, was defeated by Mrs. Guo, forcing him to mobilize more troops. The army suppressed Hedong, but just a month ago, Guo Taizhan, the commander of the Yellow Turban Qu in Hedong, died in battle, and their troops were liberated a lot, and now they are all converging in the western suburbs!"

"Mrs. Guo has died in battle?" Mu Jing's eyes lit up, and his keen sense told him that this is an opportunity: "This is really good news!"

He asked in a deep voice: "Who is in charge of the Baibo Yellow Turban now?"

"Baibo Yellow Turban claims that there are [-] soldiers and horses, but too many are false. In fact, the real usable force is only about [-]. Under Mrs. Guo, there are four major brigade commanders, Yang Feng, Han Xian, Li Le, and Hu Hu. Cai, since Guo Taizhan died, the internal chaos, they did not fight each other, Yang Feng and Han Siam's forces are the strongest, they each have more than ten thousand elite soldiers in their hands, and Li Le and Hu Cai are the family of in-laws. A horse can resist the oppression of two people!"

Tan Zong said it carefully.

"Where is Zhang Ning now?" Mu Jing stood up, walked back and forth, and asked suddenly after a while.

The affairs of the Yellow Turban Army are inseparable from Taipingdao. Without Zhang Ning, the affairs of Taipingdao would be difficult to achieve.

"My lord, all the Taiping Divine Guards are masters, three points better than the rangers recruited by my Jing Wusi, and their whereabouts are elusive, and Her Royal Highness's martial arts are also outstanding. Don't say I didn't keep an eye on them, even if Staring, I can't keep my eyes on, I don't know too well!" Tan Zong immediately lowered his head when he heard this, and said in a low voice.

He, Jingwu Division, can follow many people, but everyone in the Taiping Divine Guard is an internal warrior, so he really can't keep an eye on them. The most important thing is that it is His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness is slightly angry, and it is not him, Tan Zong Can bear it.

"No promise!"

Mujing looked sideways at him.

"Hehe!" Tan Zong smiled mischievously. Those confidantes who didn't know that Her Majesty the Holy Maiden was Mujing's brainchild would dare to easily send someone to follow him.

"This imperial decree can't be hidden. If you don't say it to the outside, the people in the court may be very popular. If the nearest capital is not peaceful, you should try to keep an eye on it!" Mu Jing instructed: "Also, tell me Xin Zhao, Zhao Zhong may not be able to stay, if he doesn't do anything, if you do, we must cut off the eyes and ears of the emperor, if we let him come in and out, the situation will be even more difficult!"

"Will it backfire? Zhao Zhong is Zhao Xin's adoptive father after all!"

"I know, but he has to go through this hurdle!"

"I will pass on the information of the son to him, but to deal with Zhao Zhong, I am afraid that I am not enough masters in Jingwu Division!"

"Go to the army to borrow troops, maybe invite the Divine Guard!"

"it is good!"

"As for the counties in Guanzhong, isn't the Southern Army recruiting soldiers in each county now?" Mu Jing said in a deep voice, "You join the Southern Army and try to find a way to see the attitude of these county guards. If you take it down with thunder, I will give you the right to kill first and then act later, but things must be kept secret!"

"I see!" Tan Zong nodded, with a murderous intent flashing across his eyes.
