Wanli 1592

Chapter 966
For such a festive scene, Xiao Ruxun is happy to see it come true.

In any case, these people can be considered to have contributed their own strength to the establishment of the new dynasty. They will have a sense of belonging, a sense of common glory, and hidden secrets that cannot be found without careful exploration. That tinge of guilt.

Only Shi Xing doesn't know whether it's because he feels too guilty or too guilty. He has always been like a walking dead, doing what he does, but he just doesn't speak, kneeling and prostrating mechanically, but his eyes are empty and his energy is gone. , which looks like an empty shell.

Xiao Ruxun called Shi Xing into the meeting room of the Ministry of War alone.

This place made him a little nostalgic.

To be honest, Xiao Ruxun has no prejudice against Shi Xing.

Before the conquest of North Korea, Shi Xing obeyed Zhu Yijun's wishes and appointed Xiao Ruxun's general, so that Xiao Ruxun would lead the troops to fight in North Korea. Later, he also spoke for Xiao Ruxun many times in the court, and acted as a shield for Xiao Ruxun to fight smoothly. , really contributed a lot.

When Xiao Ruxun was driven to Burma, he also spoke out many times, arguing on the table for Xiao Ruxun to get fair treatment several times, and quarreled very fiercely with some people, but it was unsuccessful.

But this will not change Xiao Ruxun's gratitude to him.

Time has changed, six years ago, it was here that Xiao Ruxun met Shi Xing for the first time, talked with Shi Xing for the first time, was appreciated by Shi Xing, and thus obtained the position of the chief general of the Eastern Expedition, and began his glorious history of conquest , but six years later, meeting again in this place, it has been a long time.

Everything became too much and too fast, even Xiao Ruxun felt a little in a trance.

It seems that yesterday I was still talking here and competing with Li Rusong for the position of the leader of the Eastern Expedition, but today I have become the most respected Emperor of Qin in the world.

The Ministry of War is still the same Ministry of War, but the people are no longer the people they were back then.

"Shibutang, I really didn't expect things to turn out like this. I didn't expect to come to this point. I can only say that God's will tricks people."

Xiao Ruxun sat in the front seat, looked at Shi Xing standing in front of her, and spoke slowly.

"It's over, I have nothing to say."

Shi Xing didn't seem to intend to say anything.

"You have nothing to say? No, you have something to say. Zhao Shiqing has already told me that before Shen Yiguan's mutiny, you didn't know about his mutiny. You gave in, but you didn't do anything for him, and you kept claiming to be sick at home, and you were under house arrest by him."

Xiao Ruxun looked at Shi Xing: "At the juncture of life and death, few people have the guts to put personal life and death aside. Zhao Zhigao counts one, Song Yingchang counts one, and those who dare to stand up and accuse Shen Yiguan but are brutally killed are also counted, but such people are in the end. few.

And there are few people who wholeheartedly follow thieves. Not everyone has the courage to do that kind of thing. The wholehearted messengers are a minority of the minority, and most of the rest are centrists.

In fact, it is often not the mastermind behind the scenes that decides the direction of major events, but the majority of centrists. Whoever they follow will win. If they follow the thieves, even if the number of thieves is small, the thieves will win in the end. Although you Shibutang Not directly from the thief, but you are also a fool. "

Shi Xing closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

"I'm sorry to Duke Zhao, I'm sorry to Duke Song, I'm sorry to Your Majesty, I'm sorry to Daming, I'm sorry to everyone, so, Xiao Jixin, if you want to kill me, do it, I have no complaints, just beg you not to implicate me Family, give them a way to survive."

"I won't kill you."

Xiao Ruxun shook his head: "As far as I am concerned, I don't want to kill more people at all, but the reality is that I have to kill people, and I may kill more people. If I don't kill these people, there will be more people in the future. If you die, I don't care if I want to be called a tyrant, but you, Shi Xing, I won't kill you."

Shi Xing sighed and shook his head.

"You don't kill me, but my heart is dead. I don't want to stay in the court and continue to do those meaningless things. What's the use if you don't kill me? Let me go home? Are you raising a useless cripple like me?" ?”

Xiao Ruxun shook his head: "You have experience, you have talent, you are an official, different from other Qing gossip officials, letting you go home is my loss, and it is also the loss of the new dynasty. The Central Committee of the Ming Dynasty raised a group of A dog who can only bark, but what I need is a person who can do things, there are too few such people, and if there is one, I will use it.”

"Then what do you want? What do you want me to do?"

"I'm going to organize a school, and you come to make sacrificial wine for me."

"Sacrifice wine?"

Shi Xing was stunned for a moment: "What school?"

"A school that trains civilian military officers."

"Wen... what officer?"

Shi Xing was obviously puzzled.

"This is my move to separate the government from the military. I want to train a group of civilian officers. Officials who serve in the army do not fight, but they belong to military officers, not normal officials. They specialize in logistics, transportation, payment of military posts, etc. Civilian officers with a series of problems separate the functions of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households regarding military resources."

Xiao Ruxun explained a little bit, and Shi Xing frowned.

"Are you planning to make changes to Daming's existing system?"

"Yes, the existing system of Ming Dynasty can't meet my needs. I want to make changes. Since you don't want to be an official in the imperial court, then you should be in charge of teaching. I will entrust the students of the whole school to you, and you will help them I nurture them."

Xiao Ruxun stood up and walked in front of Shi Xing: "I don't allow anyone who lives in the land of Great Qin not to be used by me, Shi Xing, you can't escape, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will send someone to arrest you Bring it back to the capital."

Shi Xing frowned and remained silent for a long time.

"I'm already a second minister, are you really not afraid of using me?"

"If I was afraid of the mere name of a second official, I would have obediently died in Shen Yiguan's hands long ago."

Xiao Ruxun said with a disdainful smile: "So what about a mere second minister? The power in the world is in my hands, what am I afraid of? In the whole world, there is no king, as long as I am strong enough, there is no one I can't use, even Li Rusong who holds a heavy soldier It can be used, let alone you."

Shi Xing sighed, looked up at the ceiling, and then lowered his head after a long time.

"I promise you."

Xiao Ruxun nodded, and patted Shi Xing on the shoulder: "This will be the most correct choice you make."

Shi Xing smiled wryly.

"I have been wrong for most of my life, and I have no hope for it, but after this remaining life, I hope to make more compensation for the mistakes I made before."

Shi Xing accepted Xiao Ruxun's appointment and agreed to serve as the priest of the first Central Military Academy of the Great Qin Empire.

This is the beginning of big changes, and more changes will follow.

Starting from December 29th, the persuasion forms of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty flew into the Huangji Palace like snowflakes.

At that time, Xiao Ruxun was convening his confidants to distribute the work of restoring the order and functions of the capital, and the persuasion forms were passed on one by one, and sent to the cabinet first. , Then they had to send these persuasion watches to Xiao Ruxun in the Huangji Hall.
