Mu Jing feels that he has not been too old recently.

He touched his forehead, and there was a little pain.

Hu Zhao is such a humble gentleman, no matter how you look at it, I don't really want to be such a grumpy person, is it because I am too much, didn't I just say a few words that are a little appropriate to the situation but not so polite, why are you so angry.

Cautiously squinted.

Mu Jing understood, it should be his own actions recently, so that the long history of the Ming Hou Mansion, the second-in-command of the Southwest Imperial Court above 10,000 people, was a little angry, this is a personal vendetta of the communiqué.

But he didn't dare to refute.

It's okay for people to have a personal vendetta.

He can't.

If he dared to put on small shoes for Hu Zhao at this time, he would guarantee that he would get Hu Zhao's recital to return to his hometown the next day, this old guy is not old, but he has a lot of thoughts about picking a son, and it is even more difficult to wait than Cai Yong.

"Lord!"

At this time, Hu Zhao suddenly became serious, he looked at Mu Jing, and said leisurely: "In addition, Zhaoming Pavilion has already discussed a matter before you return, and it was unanimously approved, and now is also the time, let me inform you!" ”

"What's the matter?"

Mu Jing suddenly felt that some danger was coming.

"Take a concubine!"

Hu Zhao said.

"What?" Mu Jing's eyes widened: "Concubine? ”

"Yes!"

Hu Zhao's indifferent voice was full of majesty, and said: "The lord is now powerful, but there is no successor, the Minghou Mansion is worried, although Mrs. Cai and Mrs. Zhang are both gentle and skillful, but the woman is gone seven times, and no child is one!" ”

The so-called seven women go is the complaint in the "Da Dai Li Ji", and it is also the originator of the so-called seven regulations on divorce of wives.

Childlessness is a woman's greatest original sin.

He is a humble gentleman, and he will never let Mu Jing divorce his wife with this.

But it is necessary to take a concubine.

Today's princes, only Mujing has no children.

Cao Cao has many heirs, even if Sun Jian dies in battle, he still has the eldest son Sun Ce who has made a name for himself, and there are several sons, and Yuan Shao's heirs are also prosperous.

It's Liu Bei.

Although Liu Bei does not have a son-in-law, he also has a concubine Liu Yong under his knees, who is only a few years old, but he can be regarded as a queen.

Only the pastoral scene.

Mu Jing is the youngest and most outstanding prince, holding hundreds of thousands of soldiers, tens of millions of people, and a vast territory, and he is the most capable person to compete for the last position today.

However, the only flaw is that there is no queen.

Every time Mu Jing goes on an expedition, the person he is most worried about is definitely not his wife, but everyone in the Minghou Mansion, because they put their future and life on the future of the Minghou Mansion.

Once there are any problems on the battlefield.

Everything will be in the mirror, and such a big foundation as the Minghou Mansion will collapse directly.

This issue, last year, several ministers of Zhaoming Pavilion, including Cai Yong, had already discussed it, and Mu Jing had to take concubines.

"You still want me to divorce my wife?"

When Mu Jing heard the woman's words, he couldn't help it, and he got up and said, "Hu Kongming, are you stretching your hand too long, you also have to take care of a certain family matter!" ”

"The lord is the Marquis of Ming!"

Hu Zhao raised his head lightly, his eyes were bright, without the slightest guilt and retreat, and said indifferently: "Minghou is the Minghou of Minghou Mansion, this is not the family affair of the lord, this is the family affair of the Minghou Mansion, and it is the family affair of hundreds of people in the southwest!" ”

"You are presumptuous!"

Mu Jing angrily reprimanded: "I tell you, in official affairs, you can tolerate Er and others to be presumptuous, but in private affairs, you will never allow you to have any transgression, my Mu Jing's life, I can't allow you to kidnap the entire Minghou Mansion, my life, I live by myself!" ”

He hated the situation in which he pinned his family on his career.

Why should he sacrifice himself?

Although men have dreams of three wives and four concubines, but that is just a dream thing, reality is reality, life and dreams are different, enjoy the blessings of Qi people, you must be prepared to bear the sorrow of the palace fight.

A daughter-in-law shall marry the one she loves.

Home, be warm.

He doesn't want to be a lonely person, he doesn't want him to come home every day, it's a group of women who are fighting openly and secretly, and living life like a palace fight, which is really not something that few people can bear.

If he said that, he had to pay attention day and night, afraid that this wife would kill that wife, afraid that the concubine would make a storm for the sake of the throne, and afraid that the child would die in an accident when it was born......

This exciting life, he doesn't want.

It's good right now.

Although Cai Yan said that she was reluctant to belong when she got married, her feelings over the years were also considerable, and she had a good heart and a first-class character, and Zhang Ning had a bit of a rushing temperament, but they were happy with each other, and they walked together with difficulty, and they were very rare to each other.

Now in life, he is already very satisfied.

He really doesn't know what his life will be like in the future if he takes a concubine, will gradually, gradually, he have to turn his home into a battlefield?

"Lord, your subordinates follow you, not power, not wealth, but a passion, for the world to create a prosperous world, this is a responsibility, shoulder the responsibility of you and me, how can we forget this responsibility for our own selfishness!"

Hu Zhao took two steps, knelt down on his knees, kowtowed respectfully, and reminded Mu Jing word by word.

He just ate leopard gall today.

It's going to force the pasture.

Because the pastoral scenery is too smooth.

All along, whatever he says, is what he is, the Minghou Mansion has come to this day, there are really few people who can make him succumb, too much self, and it is not necessarily a good thing.

He had to face up to his position and responsibilities.

"Responsibility?"

Mu Jing's face was a little hideous, he stared at Hu Zhao, and said: "Hu Kongming, since my father died, I have worked hard to survive, to this day, not what I think, but it is an inevitable result, I also hate this troubled world, and I am willing to work hard to create a prosperous world, but this is not a reason for me to sacrifice my life, even if I have no queen in my life, the world can help me!" ”

His voice is indispensable.

Hu Zhao raised his head and looked at Shang Mujing's bloody eyes, with a touch of awe.

Or is he underestimating Mujing too much.

"This matter is postponed and never discussed!"

Mu Jing brushed his sleeves away.

Hu Zhao stood up slowly, looking at Mu Jing's back, but there was no frustration, he also appreciated Mu Jing's character from the second to the end, but this does not mean that he will give up: "This road, it doesn't work, you can only choose another path, my lord, my subordinates want to force you, it's the world that is forcing us, how many people are staring at our Minghou Mansion, you must have a back, otherwise, Minghou Mansion is unstable!" ”

………………

Jingzhou's changes are becoming more and more intense.

What should have erupted, it still broke out.

In the four counties under the coercion of Xiangzhou, more than 20 squires and wealthy clans united, and suddenly the masses rose up and made a rebellion, coercing nearly tens of thousands of people, storming Xiangyang City, besieging Xiangyang, and even impacting Lumen Mountain.

This hit the Xiangzhou Governor's Mansion suddenly.

Although the Xiangzhou Governor's Mansion responded quickly, it still suffered a heavy setback, and half of the established Governor's Mansion was burned, and it was not easy to establish a Governor's Mansion team, and more than a dozen officials were injured.

Hou Qing, the governor of Xiangzhou, was in a dilemma.

Of course, he can apply for the transfer of troops to quell the rebellion.

But......

Once the chaotic war starts, casualties are inevitable, these people are the people of Jingzhou, the people under the command of the Ming Marquis Mansion today, and it is the foundation of the future development of Xiangzhou, economic development, talent is the foundation.

If he is slaughtered, even if he Hou Qing has monstrous power, it will be difficult to govern the land of Xiangzhou.

If troops are not deployed to quell the rebellion.

Then the chaos in Xiangzhou, once it enters an uncontrollable point, will radiate the entire Jingzhou, then the Minghou Mansion will also be seriously provoked if it changes the law in Jingzhou, and it will even be directly cut in half.

How to solve this problem.

This will be the first difficulty to face after the establishment of the Xiangzhou Governor's Palace.

"Mahan, what is the current situation of the catch over there at the Six Gates?"

At present, Hou Qing is the only soldier and horse that can be mobilized in Xiangzhou Six Gates, and the six doors of Xiangzhou have a lot of strength, after all, the six doors of Xiangyang County have transitioned over, and there are a lot of fast catches.

The chief catcher of the six gates of Xiangzhou is Ma Han.

Mahan is a ranger.

But he has been in the army for ten years, and he has risen step by step from the pastoral army, but he was wounded on the battlefield, and later entered the martial arts hall to study, and was directly selected by Zhang Huo to preside over the six gates of Xiangzhou.

He was born as a ranger, with a military style, and he is very strong.

"Report to the Governor, five hundred and eighty of the six gates of Xiangzhou are all in place!"

Mahan said.

People are a little less.

But with absolute equipment in hand, it is still possible to deal with some chaotic people composed of ordinary people.

"Xiangzhou can be chaotic, Xiangyang can't be chaotic, the Xiangzhou Governor's Mansion was burned by the chaotic people once, and it can be taken over, but it must not appear a second time, otherwise none of us will have the face to see the lord!"

Hou Qingdao: "I allow all of you to equip all six doors with light crossbows, and you can even open the arsenal and equip the ballistas, as long as the governor has one result, Xiangyang can't be messed up!" ”

"No!"

Mahan surrendered his command.

……………………

On Lumen Mountain, it was a mess.

"You see?"

Sima Wei stood on the mountainside, looked down, looked at the chaotic people, looked at the once invincible academy, looked at the majestic Xiangyang City, and there was a touch of sadness in his pupils.

This day, he expected.

I just didn't expect it to come so quickly.

"See!"

Cai Yong's expression was very calm, he had never seen it before, how much chaos he had seen, although he didn't say that he was already immune, but this situation would not cause him too much emotional fluctuations, he said softly: "Some people want chaos, some people want justice, and there are ignorant people who want to get rich, there will always be people who take this step, maybe more people want to see the jokes of the Ming Hou Mansion, chaos, it's sooner or later!" ”

"Do you know that in this chaos, how many sons and daughters will die in our Jingzhou!"

Sima Wei is not from Jingzhou, but he is better than Jingzhou people, his feelings for Jingzhou are as deep as the sea, and the people of Jingzhou are what he wants to protect.

"If you don't break it, you can't stand it!"

Cai Yong said: "I have said a long time ago, if you don't act, sooner or later you will regret it, just like I have no way to go, you have no way to go, either you choose to rebel against our Minghou Mansion, or you choose to support, now, how can there be anything neutral, looking at the chaos in Jingzhou, you think it is us who create evil, the old man confirms that it is you who do not cooperate, who is right and who is wrong, who knows, but ......"

He looked at Sima Wei: "If you want to end this chaos, you still have a chance!" ”

"Are you pushing so-and-so?"

Sima Wei suddenly felt that he couldn't understand Cai Yong, this is a great sage of the imperial court, he shouldn't be like this, he should be kind at home, he should have mercy on all sentient beings, and he shouldn't use the people as bargaining chips.

"What a troubled world!"

Cai Yong sighed: "You and I can't go!" ”

This is to tell Sima Wei that in this troubled world, most people are involuntarily, including himself, and he doesn't want to be despicable, but under Mu Jing's will, Jingzhou wants to survive smoothly.

He could only choose to persecute Sima Wei and them.

Only when they stand up can Jingzhou successfully change the law, can it smoothly return to the leadership of the Ming Marquis Mansion, and can it have the opportunity to live a peaceful life.

"Cai Bojiao!"

Sima Wei gritted his teeth and looked at Cai Yong: "You are too ruthless!" ”

"Am I ruthless?" Cai Yong stroked his beard, literati like to leave a bunch of beautiful hair on his chin, which is more stylish, his hair is pale, his beard is also white, and the beautiful hair is very neatly repaired, a bit of an old fairy's demeanor: "It's ruthless in this world!" ”

"What would have happened if we hadn't come forward?"

Sima asked slightly.

"My son-in-law, he won't stop until he achieves his goal, if he is ruthless, he is more ruthless than any of us, for his purposes, he can turn Jingzhou into purgatory, or that sentence, if he doesn't break it, he won't stand!"

Cai Yong replied.

Sima Wei suddenly seemed to be ten years old, with white hair on his head and a face on his face, all like an old man, and said with some self-deprecation: "What a Ming Hou, no wonder he can be killed out of that desperate situation, everyone in the world looks down on him, playing with people's hearts, he is the best in the world!" ”

…………………………

Yudu City.

Minghou Mansion, Zhaoming Pavilion.

Mu Jing, Hu Zhao, Liu Jin, Xi Zhicai, and Qin Song are all here, that is, Mu Jing and Hu Zhao, some of them are tired of seeing each other, their faces are all black, and since the two broke up, they haven't said a word for seven days.

Mujing must stick to the bottom line.

Hu Zhao vowed not to give up.

Even if Liu Jin and Qin sang to them, they couldn't dissuade them.

It can only be stalemate like this.

This is a war, that is the struggle between Mu Jing's individual will and the collective will of the Ming Marquis' Mansion.

Who can outweigh whom.

I don't know.

"Lord, Jingzhou is eight hundred miles urgent!"

A secret letter came from Jing Wusi.

"Jingzhou is still in chaos!"

Liu Jin broke the cold silence in the Zhaoming Pavilion.

"How to respond is the most important thing!" Qin Song said: "It is a matter of life and death for Jingzhou's reform and restructuring, and it should not be underestimated!" ”

Hu Zhao glanced at Mu Jing and didn't see anything, Mu Jing was too calm.

He didn't ask.

Because he was waiting for Mu Jing to speak himself.

Mu Jing will not speak, and if he opens, he will admit defeat.

The two people in power who are in charge of hundreds of thousands of armies and tens of millions of people are now so naïve, for the sake of a breath, holding back, they just don't speak.

But Xi Zhi couldn't help it first.

"Lord, are you confident that Sima Wei will make a move?"

Xi Zhicai asked Mu Jing.
