The Nameless of the Common Clans

"Lord, the three academic minutes cannot be changed!" Chen Mo returned to Luoyang. Before he could go home to see his children, he was stopped by Mi Heng in the government office.

"Everyone, go and do your work first." Chen Mo looked at Xun You, Yang Xiu, Xu Shu, Li Ru and others here, waved his hand, and motioned for them to leave first.

After everyone left, Chen Mo asked Dian Wei to lead people to seal off the surrounding area so that no one could get close. Then he motioned for Mi Heng to sit down and said slowly: "I didn't say I wanted to change it, but right now, I have to make some concessions."

"My lord, do you know how many students are looking forward to this moment? It doesn't matter if my lord gives in, but how many students who are full of enthusiasm will be discouraged by this? Who are the efforts I have made in the court these days for? " Mi Heng gritted his teeth and said. He didn't expect that he would make everyone speechless, but he would be tricked by Chen Mo, his biggest supporter, which made him want to vomit.

"Don't be impatient. I will definitely use these people." Chen Mo waved his hand and signaled to Mi Heng not to rush: "But we must continue to give in. To capture Jizhou, the attitude of the Hebei nobles is very important. We are not afraid of them. But if they choose to defect to Cao Cao, then Jizhou will have no chance with me, and the situation in the Central Plains will completely turn to Cao Cao. You are also a knowledgeable person, can you understand these truths? "

"I don't understand politics and I don't want to understand it, but I just feel sorry for those students who have hope for my lord." Mi Heng said in a deep voice.

This time, more than a dozen outstanding talents from Chang'an Academy and Luoyang Academy have passed various assessments, and they have made quite good achievements in local affairs. This is a shot in the arm, giving the academy students more motivation to go to work. Studying has cultivated more outstanding talents for Chen Mo, but now that Chen Mo has given in, no matter what the reason is, it hurts the hearts of these people.

Chen Mo felt a little irritated. Is what Mi Heng said wrong? That's right, but Chen Mo is concerned about the overall situation. This matter is already related to whether he can successfully capture Jizhou. If he continues to promote the Three Studies after winning Jizhou, it will be opposed by scholars all over the world, and Chen Mo can suppress it.

The ownership of Jizhou is very important. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is related to the final ownership of the Central Plains. Chen Mo Ruode, relying on the Minutes of the Three Studies to provide himself with an endless stream of talents, coupled with the promotion of new laws, the longer time goes by, the strength of Chen Mo will increase. The stronger he gets, and after three to five years of training, Chen Mo will be confident that he can completely defeat Cao Cao. In another dozen years, the Central Plains may be within his grasp. In his lifetime, Chen Mo will have the opportunity to see peace in the world, and he can reset his destiny. Qiankun.

But if Jizhou is lost, he can use the geographical advantage to block Cao Cao, but if he wants to pacify the Central Plains, he may have to outlast Cao Cao. Although he definitely has an advantage in this regard, in this troubled world, new variables may appear at any time. Chen Mo was really not sure what the world was like at that time, so he wanted to get Jizhou and seize the opportunity to pacify the world. This was also the fundamental reason why Chen Mo compromised with the Three Dukes.

"The Minutes of the Three Studies must be promoted. What Zhengping saw was only opposition in the court, but Zhengping may not be able to feel the changes in local people's hearts. Since the Minutes of the Three Studies were promoted to the present, there have been more Qiang rebellions in Xiliang than before. There have been many incidents, and banditry has also appeared in local areas. Although there is no conclusive evidence, Zhengping also Those who have traveled should understand where these bandits come from. This is only in Guanzhong, and it is difficult for scholars to succeed, but Jizhou is related to the situation of the world. If the scholars in Jizhou reject me and secretly defect to Cao Cao, I am afraid that the orthodoxy of the Central Plains will fall into Cao Cao's hands. Hands, I must not do this at this time." Chen Mo looked at Mi Heng and explained seriously.

If Mi Heng was just like when he first came here and just wanted to show off his talents and knowledge, and came in front of him to scold him, Chen Mo would ignore him or send him away, but what Mi Heng did this time was not for his own reputation. , but for the sake of the academy students, it can also be said that it is for the imperial government or for Chen Mo. Even if Chen Mo is irritable, he will patiently explain to Mi Heng.

Minutes of the Three Studies, even if he makes temporary concessions now, he will still continue to promote after he wins Jizhou. By then he will be stronger. Even if he stops and spends more time on this matter, Chen Mo will still Academic minutes are thoroughly promoted.

"Zhengping, I can guarantee that as soon as Jizhou is captured, we will immediately promote the Three Studies Minutes throughout the country. Those students should not worry about wasting their time. You can secretly spread this matter in the academy. Once Jizhou is captured, , Those county magistrates in Jizhou give priority to students to take office," Chen Mo said in a deep voice.

Although it was a helpless move to give in this time, Chen Mo himself was a little depressed.

Mi Heng sighed, bowed to Chen Mo and said, "My lord, I am humble enough to not want to go back at this time, and I have no words to see those students."

"Forget it, you can continue to advocate for the minutes of the Three Studies in the court. Although this matter has been decided, it does not prevent you from stating your interests to the officials. It can also be regarded as preparing for the future layout of Jizhou. What do you think?" Chen Mo looked at it? You Hengdao.

"Yes!" Mi Heng stood up, bowed to Chen Mo and said, "I will continue to do what I think is right."

Chen Mo nodded, and Mi Heng said goodbye and left.

"Dian Wei!" Chen Mo shouted to the door as he watched Mi Heng leave.

"Lord!" Dian Wei came in with his head held high and saluted Chen Mo.

"You go to the prison." Chen Mo said.

"Ah?" Dian Wei looked at Chen Mo in astonishment.

"Give this to Jia Xu and tell him to protect Ni Heng. He can't make any mistakes." Chen Mo dried the ink on a bamboo slip he had just written, rolled it up and handed it to Dian Wei Dao. Mi Heng advocated the Three Studies Minutes , no one in the court can do anything to get him, Chen Mo is worried that someone will break the rules and make moves outside the game. Mi Heng will be the most important chess piece in Chen Mo's hands, and no one can replace him, so Chen Mo will try his best to protect you. balance.

"Just send more guards. They say this good man doesn't live long, but I think he has a long life." Dian Wei couldn't help but said.

Chen Mo didn't speak, just looked at Dian Wei.

"I'll go right now!" Seeing Chen Mo's unkind expression, Dian Wei was startled. He quickly bowed to take the bamboo slip, turned around and left.

Shaking his head, Chen Mo stood up. As soon as he returned to Luoyang, he was stopped by his subordinates in the government office. He was acting like a lord and had no dignity at all.

Since the matter of the Three Studies was postponed and Chen Mo had given the order, he stopped taking care of it and did not go to the morning court. He announced to the public that he was deeply saddened by the death of his brother, so he stayed at home basically every day. If there was anything that needed to be dealt with, Li Ru They came back to report to Chen Mo.

However, Mi Heng did not give up just as he said. The first thing he did when he went to court every day was to review the Three Studies.

Liu Neng felt like he was going crazy. Didn't Chen Mo already order the Minutes of the Three Studies to be postponed until they were revised and perfected before being promoted? If you have any objections, go to Chen Mo. What's the matter with coming to my place?

He had thoughts of killing people, but he didn't dare. Without Chen Mo's order from the civil and military officials in the court, he, the emperor, had no right to do anything if he wanted to. He could only endure the irritability in his heart and listen to the other party's impassioned speech. In this regard, It's quite admirable, and they are talking about the same thing, but from the time when I argued with the courtiers to now when I discuss matters with the court every day, it has never been repeated.

As for the courtiers, the matter of the Minutes of the Three Studies has been suppressed anyway, and their goal has been achieved. As for Mi Heng, it seems that he is just a clown now and is nothing to worry about.

The second year of the Han Dynasty came to an end in such an environment. During this time, Chen Mo mostly stayed at home to accompany his wife and children. He occasionally discussed the next things with his subordinates. He had to continue purchasing grain from the private sector and save more grain. When the war does begin, who knows how long it will last?

In addition, the infiltration of Jizhou has not cut off the contact with Yuan Tan. In the end, whether the battle for Jizhou can successfully capture Jizhou and the outcome of Chen Mo and others' discussions depends on whether Yuan Tan still has the power. If Yuan Tan chooses to surrender to Yuan Shang's ambition to regain his father's property, then Jizhou will not know how long it will take to regain it. But at the moment, it seems that Yuan Tan has not given up, which is a good thing for Chen Mo.

At the end of the New Year, Chang'an Academy was on holiday. Chen Jin came back and stayed for a few days before hurriedly getting up and leaving. Cai Yan had been thinking about things so much these days that he didn't think about food or tea all day long, which made Chen Mo feel quite helpless. Don’t you want your own son? But when the child is older, it is time to let him out and let him see the world. Even if Chen Mo has all the power in the world, there is nothing he can do to help him in this regard. He can only walk his own way.

"Madam, please don't be too sad." Looking at his haggard wife, Chen Mo felt a little distressed. He reached out and took her into his arms and said, "It's not a separation of life and death. This young tiger needs to go through jungle hunting before he can become a beast. King of kings, a young eagle also needs to go through wind and rain before it can soar in the nine heavens. Jin'er has been smart since he was a child. Besides, this time Pang De goes to Chang'an for business, I can take him with him. Nothing will happen to him. Pang De is a great person. He is a talented general, both wise and brave. With him, no one can hurt Jin'er."

"I'm just worried about whether Jin'er can get used to living without his family in Chang'an, whether he can eat well, and sleep well..." Cai Yan shook his head and whispered on Chen Mo's shoulder.

Chen Mo didn't answer. He suddenly remembered that when he left his mother, he was still half the age of his son. At least Cai Yan still had him by his side. His mother was alone in Xuzhou back then, and he didn't know how she got here.

"It'll be fine." Looking at his wife, Chen Mo thought of his mother back then, and felt a little sour in his heart. However, as the pillar of the family, Chen Mo naturally couldn't show such a weak attitude like his wife. He gently hugged his wife's waist and said softly: "In a few years, he will return to Luoyang. Besides, as the eldest son, Jin'er will have to go through a lot of things in the future. If he stays by his side, although Madam can enjoy a peaceful family life, will Jin'er be willing to live a life of mediocrity? Such a huge inheritance as a husband cannot be left to a mediocre person."

"What your husband said is true." Cai Yan nodded. Everyone understands the truth, but things like feelings have nothing to do with truth.
