Mu Jing held the letter in one hand, and the index finger of the other hand struck loudly on the desk, which was a very rhythmic beating, and the sound made could make his thoughts clearer, and he was used to it.

"Zhongheng, is Xi Zhicai in the official office?"

"In!"

Huo Yu was already a little familiar with Mu Jing's habits, and under normal circumstances, he rarely interrupted his thoughts when he was thinking, and only then did he dare to speak: "Mr. Xi and a few classmates from Yingchuan Academy competed in calligraphy with a few children of the world in the Jingping Study in the north of the city in the afternoon, and returned to the official office in the evening!" ”

"Go get him!"

"No!"

Huo Yu bowed, walked out, put on the cloth shoes on his doorrail, and went to the backyard.

This official office is very large, not only these two workshops, but also an inner courtyard area, which can accommodate hundreds of people, after Mu Jing came to the capital, the two residences, the residence of Jingping Commercial Bank, and the residence of the Marquis Mansion of Xi'e, were burned by themselves, and now everyone can only settle here in the official office.

"What do you call me?"

Xi Zhicai took off his shoes and entered, and after coming in, he knelt down and put his hands next to the stove very casually to get heat.

"There's something I want you to give me some advice!"

Mujing gets straight to the point.

"And what else you can't decide?" Xi Zhicai squinted, he had seen Mu Jing's demons, that night Mu Jing turned his hand into the clouds and covered his hand for the rain, with his body as a lure, the strange soldier killed, the noisy Luoyang City was full of wind and rain, that was not chaotic, and he was ashamed of his self-confidence and calmness in the face of danger.

"There's a lot of things I can't decide!"

Mu Jing pouted: "In this world, no one dares to say that the decision they made is correct, and there will always be 10,000 possibilities for what doesn't happen, so when we make decisions, we must be cautious to the bones!" ”

"It's a novelty, and it's very appealing!" Xi Zhicai smiled: "Tell me something!" ”

"My old man wants to marry!"

Mu Jing handed the last page of the letter, which was the letter given to him by Jiang Lu, to Xi Zhicai.

"Jingzhou Kuai family, the weight is not light!" Xi Zhicai said: "Although the Marquis of Xi'e has won the throne, he is seriously ill, and his subordinates are also talented, as long as there is enough time, it is no problem to sit firmly in Nanyang, but he was born in Shilin, and he has never talked about the stage, if he has the reputation of the Kuai family, he will have no worries about sitting in Nanyang!" ”

"How can it be so simple!"

Mu Jing smiled bitterly: "There are benefits, and there are risks!" ”

"The family gate valves, it's all like that!" Xi Zhicai nodded: "Marriage, and then infiltration, unless they have a talented prince, otherwise they will not be the first bird, but they will use marriage to control power!" ”

"I'm not against marriage, after all, marriage can make my father completely stable and foundational, as for the intentions of the Kuai family, I am not afraid, if I can't even control a Kuai family, holding Nanyang will be taken by others sooner or later!"

"And what are you worried about?"

"Touching the whole body, this clan is not a harmonious group, my father has not even completely stood on his heels now, but he can't be affected in the fish pond!"

"The infighting of the Jingzhou Shi clan?"

When Xi Zhicai heard this, he immediately understood, and asked: "When the Marquis of Xi'e was in Nanyang before, he was relatively close to the family in Jingzhou!" “

"It should be the Cai family, but I haven't interacted, but I'm just close to one of the Cai family's children!"

Mu Jing said: "At the beginning, my father fell into the grass for Kou, coinciding with the cold winter wax moon, the grain and grass on the mountain have been exhausted, and there is no way to live, so the soldiers are dangerous, and they lead the troops to attack Wuyin, which can be regarded as a bit of luck, and we can barely take Wuyin, and we can settle down in Wuyin, because Wuyin County ordered Cai Tu to open our net, which is a great favor, although there are elements of our persecution, but I have to admit that Cai Tu's help to us is huge!"

If you want to talk about marriage with the Cai family, I don't think there is a big problem!

But Kuai's ......"

Mu Jing shook his head: "I can't say!" ”

"Jingzhou is a place with a strong academic atmosphere, the Jingzhou scholars should not be underestimated, and the scholars in Jingzhou, among the clear streams, the Pang family is respected, and above the power, the Kuai family and the Cai family are the leaders, and there are countless large and small scholars such as the Jiangxia Huang family!"

Xi Zhicai said: "It's too complicated, I'm a poor scholar, although I have traveled in Jingzhou and met some Jingzhou students, but I don't know much!" ”

"It's because it's complicated that I can't make up my mind!"

"If you want to ask my idea, I will tell you, the marriage is still to be married, if this is a muddy water, only wading through the depth of the depth, since the Marquis of Xi'e wants to sit in Nanyang, naturally he can't avoid dealing with the Jingzhou Shi clan, without the support of the Jingzhou Shi clan, his position as Nanyang Taishou is a bit empty after all!"

Xi Zhicai thought about it for a long time before he expressed his opinion.

If you want to sit firmly on one side, in addition to strength, it is prestige.

Mushan originally did not have the prestige of Shilin, so he could only rely on one side to stabilize Shilin's reaction.

"Listen to that!"

Mu Jing's eyes lit up: "This troubled water still has to wade!" ”

"There's something I don't quite understand!"

"What?"

"It stands to reason that you have also reached the age of marriage leave, they want to marry, and they should also marry you, why is it the Marquis of Xi'e, and the marriage of the Marquis of Xi'e, it is a continuation of the string, with your sister-in-law, it is difficult for them to get ahead!"

Xi Zhicai said.

"You're sarcastic about me, not as hot as my father?" Mu Jing's face was a little dark.

"Care about you!" Xi Zhicai smiled.

"Are you insulting my wisdom, or your own!" Mu Jing said angrily: "You still don't understand this matter, you are sarcastic about me, a proton!" ”

His current identity in the capital is, in the eyes of many people, a proton, who dares to marry his daughter to a proton.

"Since ancient times, protons have no future!"

Xi Zhicai smiled, stopped going around in circles, and said, "Don't say I didn't remind you, you can prepare early!" ”

"Don't worry!"

Mu Jing said confidently: "This Luoyang City, I can't keep Mu Jing!" ”

That night, Mu Jing wrote a letter and asked Huo Yu to use the channels of Jingping Commercial Bank to send it back to Nanyang......

……

……

On the second of February, the dragon raised its head, and the earth began to recover.

And in this Han capital, there is not the slightest breath of rejuvenation of all things, but everywhere makes people feel very depressed, and this depressing atmosphere makes everyone feel that the sky is falling.

On this day, in the South Palace, hundreds of officials came out from the top of the court, three by two, and ear to ear.

"Your Majesty hasn't been to court for several days!"

"I heard that His Majesty has fainted!"

"No, it won't!"

"Aren't you in good spirits at the beginning of the year?"

"Who knows!"

"Don't talk nonsense, Your Majesty is blessed with all the heavens!"

“……”

The hearts of every official are in chaos.

"Wen Xian, you hold the Southern Army and defend the two palaces, what is the situation in the North Palace now?" Yuan Feng and Yang Biao walked side by side, his voice very low.

"I don't know!"

Yang Biao shook his head and said, "Beigong has begun to block the news, and now even I can't control these soldiers and horses!" ”

"Is it ......?"

"Impossible!"

Yang Biao still shook his head and said in a low voice: "When I went to see His Majesty before, his spirit was indeed very good. ”

"There is a first move in chess, you have to find a way to determine the situation in Beigong, we can't be passive!" Yuan Fengdao.

In the past few days, everything has not gone well, Yuan Kui is still lying on the hospital bed, half dead, most of his body has been burned, whether he can survive or not, it depends on the will of God, and the official positions of several protégés of the Yuan family have been won by the strength of eunuchs.

He kept holding back, just waiting for an opportunity.

"Hmm!"

Yang Biao nodded, the scholar clan is a family, and only by helping each other can we win the future, and he knows this very well.

The general He Jin here also showed a somewhat anxious atmosphere, he was wearing a wide official robe, his pace was very fast, and he was followed by several officials of your relatives, he said as he walked: "Shuda, you have to find a way to figure out the situation in the palace and get in touch with the queen!" ”

"These days, the palace city is banned, and I heard that only the two princes can enter and exit the North Palace, and no one else, including the ten permanent attendants, is allowed to enter and exit without permission!"

"Then open a gap from the prince's body!"

He Jin's voice was very deep: "We are relatives, we can only rely on the prince to argue, if we don't want to be razed to the nine clans, we can't lose!" ”

"Understood!"

He Miao nodded.

……

……

North Palace, three steps, one post, five steps and a little, all the surrounding palaces are guarded by soldiers and horses, and they are not allowed to enter and exit.

"Father Shang, how is Chen Cang's situation?"

He sat in the courtyard, looking at the flowers and seedlings that had re-emerged in the courtyard after the spring of February, and his expression was indifferent.

"The rebels of the kingdom have been dragged to exhaustion, winter is going to spring, the siege is not broken, and the morale is lost, I am afraid that it is a matter of time before it is counterattacked!"

Zhang Rang handed over his hand to report.

They have been staring at Xiliang's news, and they report it every three days, so they are naturally very clear.

"So Huangfu Song has won again!" A playful smile rose at the corner of the Son of Heaven's mouth.

"Huangfu Song is indeed a pillar of the imperial court!" Zhang said.

"Huangfu Yizhen!"

The Son of Heaven thought for a moment and said, "Can he use it?" ”

"Your Majesty, now we can use it, except for him, there are few left!"

"Then take a gamble!"

The Son of Heaven gritted his teeth and said: "After the end of this battle, in the name of me, you will reward him as the pastor of the state, let him hand over the military power of the Xiliang Army, let him go to the state to take office, and let Huangfu Song take over all the military power of the Xiliang Army!" ”

He didn't wait, the scholar clan was deeply rooted, and all dynasties and dynasties were the pillars of the court, although he was worried, he was not afraid that they would abuse power, and even if he wanted to get rid of it, he couldn't get rid of it.

But there was one man, and he got rid of him before he returned to heaven.

This person is in charge of the military power in the world, it is too dangerous, except for himself, no one in the world can suppress it, so he can only leave with him.

Otherwise, he will not be blinded.
