The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 442 Temporary Changes
Zhao Ji heard the two people's ideas, thought it over and over again, and said, "Forget it, I can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor."

Then he asked the three of them, who should be sent to handle these two matters.

Gao Qiu replied, "Officials, regarding the mission to Liao, I recommended Ma Qianju, a soldier of Dengzhou, and Ma Zheng, a doctor of Wuyi. This man is proficient in the language of foreign countries, and has been sent to Daliao, Xixia and other countries many times. He will surely live up to everyone's expectations. "

Zhao Ji said without even thinking about it, "Yes! But what about the matter of recruiting security? When Na Muxu was only entrenched in Liangshan, he turned a blind eye to the court's good intentions. Now this thief occupies most of the east of the river, and his arrogance will surely It is high, I am afraid it will be more difficult to subdue."

Gao Qiu and Cai You couldn't answer, but Tong Guan's heart moved, he suddenly remembered his cousin who had a relationship with Mu Xu, and said, "I have a candidate, maybe I can get in touch with that Mu Xu."

Zhao Ji immediately became interested, and hurriedly asked, "I wonder who Aiqing is talking about?"

Of course Tong Guan would not talk about the reselling of arms by Tong Kan. The excuse he gave was,
"The person I'm talking about is Tong Jian, the younger brother of the servant. He used to have a lot of contacts with the Chai family Chai Huangcheng. He once met Mu Xu in his mansion, and he had some friendship. It's a pity that he didn't know that this person had such a wolfish ambition at the time. , and even let him go in vain.”

Zhao Ji knew who Chai Huangcheng was. After all, there is still a stone tablet standing in the ancestral temple of the Zhao family, on which is engraved the ancestral precept that the great ancestor Zhao Kuangyin should treat the descendants of the Chai family well.

In order to avoid embarrassment, he simply avoided talking to the Chai family, "Since this is the case, then send Tong Jian to Hedong to meet Mu Xu. As long as the thief can be successfully recruited, I will allow him to do things cheaply."

Gao Qiu also said at the right time, "Officials, after being reminded by Tong Shumi, I also think of someone, and this person may be a deputy envoy."

Zhao Ji said displeased, "Is there anyone else in the court who has something to do with this traitor?"

Gao Qiu quickly explained, "The officials have misunderstood. The person recommended by the minister is Hu Yanqing, the descendant of the famous general Hu Yanzan of Hedong. Work under your command."

Only then did Zhao Ji's complexion improve, and he said, "Okay, let's make Hu Yanqing my deputy. As long as I can recruit Mu Xu, I will let Hu Yanzhuo go to the thief."

……

Mu Xu didn't know about the changes in the Great Song Dynasty Hall. He was being given a headache by Tian Hu at this time, and the matter had to be talked about an hour ago.

However, since Cheng Wanli's daughter married Wu Song, the young couple had a very harmonious life, and a month ago, they even gave birth to a son for Wu Song.

As Wu Song's closest person besides his family, Mu Xu naturally attended his son's full moon ceremony solemnly. Not only did he himself come, he also brought Li Shishi as a female relative to visit Mrs. Wu Song.

During the banquet, Wu Song was very excited, and frequently drank wine to Mu Xu, and asked Mu Xu to name his son.

Mu Xu pondered for a moment, then said, "Just take the word Jun, how about the name Wu Jun?"

As he spoke, he dipped his fingers in some wine, and wrote the characters Jun stroke by stroke on the table for Wu Song to watch.

Wu Song hadn't studied for a few years, so he didn't know what the name meant. Fang wanted to ask, but he heard that his cheap father-in-law, Cheng Wanli, had already flattered Mu Xu.

"A good name, according to the words of Chu, the mountain is high and high, and the sun is dark, and it is dark and rainy. This word is wonderful, implying that the boy is healthy, thriving, and steady. With the name of the village master, the grandson will be sure in the future. Make a difference!"

Although Wu Song felt that his father-in-law was flattering, he couldn't say much after all, so he could only agree with him with a smile on his face.

But Mu Xu didn't care about it at all. Speaking of it, since he took down most of the river east, many heroes in the past have become more respectful to him now.

Except for Wu Song and Liao Liao, the others are no longer the same as when they were in Liangshan.

Mu Xu never corrected it, because in his heart, he was happy to see it come to fruition.After all, he will conquer the world in the future, how can he act like a grassroots team, so unruly, what does that look like.

Moreover, in recent days, while preparing for the Northern Expedition, Mu Xu is privately thinking about reforms, and wants to clearly plan the political system and military system under his command.

It's really not that Mu Xu is meddling, it's that the bureaucratic system of the Song Dynasty is too complicated.Just take the rank of military officer as an example, it is divided into [-] ranks, and there are more divisions of official, post, and dispatch.

In this way, it will inevitably lead to the phenomenon of unclear positions and redundant officials, which is really harmful.

After various considerations, Mu Xu now prefers the Ming system.

It has to be said that Zhu Yuanzhang is indeed an outstanding man of his generation, and the system he established was extremely suitable in the feudal era.

However, considering that after the Civil Fortress Change in the Ming Dynasty, the literati became more and more powerful, squeezing the living space of the warriors, which led to the problem that the combat effectiveness of the Ming army was getting lower and lower.

In order to prevent the regime established by itself from repeating this mistake.Mu Xu is going to introduce the military system of the Qin Dynasty to the original military system of the Ming Dynasty, so as to ensure the combat effectiveness of the army as much as possible.

Mu Xu also understands that nothing is perfect in this world.But he would rather the regime he established, like the Han Dynasty, perish with strength, rather than being bullied by foreigners like the Song and Ming Dynasties.

While Mu Xu was drinking and thinking about something, Shi Xiu hurried over from the outside.Regardless of the surprised eyes of everyone at the banquet, he came to Mu Xu and reported in a low voice,

"Master, the spies are here to report that Tian Hu intends to become the King of Jin in half a month and use Fenzhou as his capital."

When Mu Xu heard the news, he threw his chopsticks on the table angrily, and couldn't help cursing, "You idiot, you've spoiled me!"

When he made an alliance with Tian Hu before, he had persuaded Tian Hu not to rush to become king. The consequences of doing so would only lead to thunderous blows from the Song court.This guy promised well at the time, but now he suddenly changed his mind temporarily.

After thinking about it for a while, Mu Xu understood the reason.This bastard must have seen that the court is currently being attracted by Fang La, so he acted so arrogantly.

But Tian Hu didn't want to think about it. With Da Song's current strength, as long as he was ruthless, he could completely withstand the two-front battle.

He, Tian Hu, was happy, but it was very likely that he had tricked Mu Xu.

Once the Song Dynasty sent troops to attack, according to the covenant between Mu Xu and Tian Hu, Mu Xu would naturally send troops to help. If things really developed to that point, it would definitely affect his Youyun strategy.

Seeing Mu Xu getting angry, Zhu Wu, Le He and others at the next table hurried over to ask each other.

Mu Xu waved his hand, signaling them to be calm.Then take a deep breath.Suppress the unhappiness in my heart, put on a smiling face, and say to everyone,

"There is a little incident, everyone don't need to worry about it, just go ahead and have a drink, today is Erlang's good day, brothers don't care about me."

When everyone started to make noise again, Wu Song whispered, "Brother, if there is something urgent, just go and deal with it, don't worry about me."

Mu Xu patted Wu Song's shoulder, shook his head and said, "Brother kindness, brother understands, this matter cannot be resolved in a short while, don't affect today's good mood."

After finishing speaking, he took the initiative to pick up the wine and exchanged glasses with everyone.

After eating the full moon banquet, Mu Xu hurriedly took Li Shishi back to the mansion, and immediately summoned Zhu Wu and others to discuss the matter.
