Mushan entered the imperial court in the first year of Guangxi, on the foundation, self-instability, on the background, there is no at all, on influence, there is still a long way to go, but it can't stand the fierce strategy style of the Mu family, in just one year, the pastoral party has become a prototype in the imperial court.

After the destruction of the Yuan clan, the strength of the scholar clan fell below the freezing point, and the pastoral party reaped the key positions one after another, and won a lot of power in a short period of time by virtue of the talent reserve of the talent seeking officials.

The officials of the pastoral department have both civil and military affairs, each performing their own duties, and their influence is enough to cover half of the imperial court, which is like a war machine, once it is in operation, it is very terrifying.

Now, the pastoral party is about to move, and Mushan has begun to arrange, and it is better to prepare for war in advance than to respond passively.

"Jiang Lu!" Makiyama let out a low sigh.

"In!"

"Now a certain order to you, Dasi Nong, Shaofu, the two major officials, you are all clear, anyone who hinders it, there is no forgiveness for killing, in addition, together with the treasury and arsenal, all the food will be collected, and the amount that can be collected will be counted, and at the same time, each workshop must be supervised, and a certain must prepare for the world, there needs to be food for war, soldiers for war, war for war, food for war, first of all, if the court doesn't even have food, how to fight!"

If you want to go to war, you must first ensure that there is enough food and grass, which is basic, otherwise you will be defeated without a fight.

"My lord, please rest assured, we will prepare the most abundant grain and grass in the shortest time!"

Jiang Lu nodded and said.

"Huang Shao!"

"In!"

The first chief general under Mu Shan, the commander of the Southern Army, one of the three armies of the Mu family, he is Huang Shao, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal, and now he is also classified as the minister of the imperial court, Wei Wei Huang Shao.

"I'm afraid that the southern army will move, a certain family will give you a persuasion to surrender, but you can lead the troops out of the capital, start recruiting troops in the entire Guanzhong, and forcibly recruit the world's young and strong as soldiers, and a certain need for more troops to fight against the princes of the world!"

"Forcibly recruit the world's youth?" When Huang Shao heard this, he squinted slightly, and said worriedly: "Lord, now that we have just established a talent seeking system with the Talent Seeking Hall, it can bring us reputation, if we send troops to recruit young and strong at this time, will it backfire, and our reputation will probably be wiped out at that time!" ”

At the beginning, they had just entered Luoyang, fought one battle after another, and the heavy casualties of the soldiers and horses under their command could not be explained, and all departments had to replenish their troops, but even at such a difficult moment, they did not choose to recruit troops and horses in Guanzhong, but chose to recruit young and strong troops from Nanyang.

One is the fear of regional influence.

The other is the fear of negative public sentiment brought about by the conscription of soldiers and horses.

Now they are going to break this criterion, which will definitely be a big blow to the future atmosphere of the army, after all, the forced conscription of soldiers in Guanzhong will inevitably cause a backlash in the army, and it will also make the reputation of Mu Xiangguo, who has just taken office, become worse and worse in Guanzhong, and even arouse public anger.

"Now we can't take care of it!"

Mu Shan shook his head and said in a deep voice: "The heroes of the world want to destroy me, I should fight the battle, only by doing our best to win this battle, we are qualified to say that in the future, if we can't win this battle, that is, there is only a dead end, even if we are lucky enough to survive, we can only go to the east and west and scatter the world!" ”

He needs to maintain the combat effectiveness of the Violent Bear Army, at this time, the Violent Bear Army must not make any mistakes, and even cannot increase the number of soldiers, stabilize the military columns, stabilize the command system, and stabilize the integration of the soldiers in order to ensure combat effectiveness.

That could only make the Southern Army numerically stronger.

The conscription of the Southern Army, on behalf of the imperial court, conscripts the young and strong in the world, can supplement the lack of troops, in fact, some soldiers and horses, as long as he is given a weapon, it is also considered a soldier, and this is how the Yellow Turban Army came to be a million.

"Someone got it!"

Huang Shao nodded.

He also understands that the princes they have to face now are not two or three months, once it breaks out, how many people will crusade against the imperial court, no one knows, the troops are insufficient, and they need to recruit the soldiers in Guanzhong, although they have a very low reputation in Guanzhong, but if they are forcibly conscripted, with Mushan in charge of the imperial court, there is still a chance to recruit some young and strong.

"Xi Zhicai!"

"In!"

"Luoyang can't be messed up, you have to stabilize Luoyang first, and in addition, you have to think of a way to talk to Dong Zhuo!" Mu Shan attaches great importance to the wisdom of Xi Zhicai, although he thinks that Hu Zhao and Jiang Lu are the best strategists, but he still likes Xi Zhicai's suggestion that the sword next to him is biased, but Xi Zhicai has always been held by Mu Jing to death, this has a chance, of course, he is justifiably called.

He added in a deep voice: "His spear can be used by me, Dong Zhongying may be a disaster for me, but the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang Army is very terrifying, I have to use it for me to be able to level the world!" ”

"Please rest assured, my subordinates will try their best to convince Dong Da Sima!" Xi Zhicai gritted his teeth and took on this impossible task, which was a challenge for him, and he liked it very much.

"Sir, the affairs of the imperial court are still bothering you to stabilize!" Mu Shan said to Hu Zhao with his hand.

Hu Zhao's wisdom may not necessarily be strong, and Hu Zhao's talent may not necessarily be Jiang Lu's good, but Hu Zhao has one thing that neither of them can compare, that is, stability, Hu Zhao's strategy, stable as Mount Tai, this is exactly what the pastoral party lacks the most, with him, the strength and influence of the pastoral party can be precipitated within a few years and take root in the imperial court, but only by virtue of Hu Zhao's strength, stabilizing the imperial court is fundamental.

"It's not difficult to stabilize the imperial court, we have to join forces with one person!" Hu Zhao was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke.

"Who?"

"Taiwei Lu Zhi!" Hu Zhaodao.

"Lu Zhi?"

"Taiwei has the right to hold the military power of the world, and when the three princes of the dynasty, Yuan Feng is dead, and there is a shortage of Situ Wang Yun, although he has a reputation, he lacks deterrent power and can't suppress the ministers, only Taiwei Lu Zhi can suppress the ministers!"

Hu Zhao said calmly.

Mushan pondered for a while: "I am willing to join forces with him, but I am afraid that at such a moment, he may not be willing to stand on our side, after all, he was not on the same path as me before, he didn't stab us in the back at this time, I am already happy!" ”

"The lord should not underestimate Lu Zhi's mind, Lu Zigan, what kind of person, if he wants to deal with us, I am afraid he will do it a few years ago, he was really unwilling to be with us before, after all, we are too powerful, but before and now, he should be able to see that everyone can understand, the so-called princes of the world, King Qin, will bring much harm to the Han Dynasty, we can't win, we should perish, but the court can't win, it will also die, this point, he won't understand, at this time, I'm sure Captain Lu will have the right choice! ”

"Then talk to him!" Makiyama nodded.

"I'll talk to him!" Hu Zhao nodded: "But my lord, it is a fact that the Son of Heaven ordered King Qin, so now, we have to do something rebellious!" ”

"A big rebellion?"

Mu Shan said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid it's too late to abolish him now!" ”

"House arrest, can't let him out again!"

"I see!"

Mu Shan nodded, he stood up and tidied up his robes: "You all go to get busy, the enemy has not come, we must first be stable, the sky can't fall yet, even if it falls, there is still a certain family in the way, and a certain person wants to go to the palace in person, there are some things that need to be spread out and talked about!" ”

If he wants to rebel, he has to give an explanation to a person.

It is not the Son of Heaven who he wants to give an account.

It's her!

The Queen Mother.

Mu Jing knelt quietly beside him, looking at this scene, his smile was even better, he never denied that he used his ability to understand the past and the present, and worked hard for the formation of the Mu Party, but if his father was a dou who couldn't help him, then he didn't do more.

But now it seems that his father, who was born as a hunter and is a bandit, is also a generation of heroes, at least in this case, he can stabilize people's hearts, this is the posture of a hero.

"Dad, if you don't let the soldiers and horses escort you into the palace, the Son of Heaven is thinking deeply, the city is deep, since you dare to issue a holy decree, I'm afraid you have already prepared to break the net, if he backs up, I'm afraid it will be difficult to stop!"

Mu Jing cared about the way.

"No!"

Mu Shan tidied up his robe, and said lightly: "A yellow-haired child, even if he becomes a mad dog, he can't bite a certain family, if he brings troops into the palace, it will undoubtedly besiege the North Palace again, just experienced once, and finally calmed down, and for his father and beheaded the entire Yuan family, and then moved the Son of Heaven, the impact is not good!" ”

After speaking, he led his guards to leave the Xiangguo Mansion.

Mu Jing squinted and stared at his back, recently his old man's complexion has been a lot ruddy, and he has taken care of his own image a little, in the past, he didn't care about his robe, could it be that when the official becomes bigger, he will also pay attention to the impact?

The ministers of the pastoral family in the main hall bowed their hands one after another, and then left in a hurry, and they all began to prepare nervously for the battle, because they all knew that this battle was very important for Mushan and for themselves, and they could only win, not lose.

When Mu Jing returned to Jingping Courtyard, it was already evening, and under the reflection of a touch of slanting sun, the color of the sky was like a fire, burning the sky, very bright and beautiful.

"What about the princess?"

Mu Jing walked past the two houses and frowned slightly.

"The prince, the princess has returned!"

"Alone?"

"Hmm!"

Chuncha nodded: "And it's been a few days, I personally went to welcome people back, Cai Mansion has already detained people, Cai Shangshu said, if it is not for the prince to welcome him, it is impossible for the princess to come back!" ”

"This old man Cai must be angry!" Mu Jing pinched the bridge of his nose and said bitterly.

Whoever has only been married for a few days, ignores his wife at home, and does not accompany him back to the door, will cause the anger of Lao Taishan.

Besides, Cai Yong doesn't like him, and it's not a matter of one or two days.

Between this old Taishan and his son-in-law, there has never been a day when he can look pleasing to the eye.

"Huo Shao!"

"In!"

"You go and ask Huo Yu to prepare a gift, and after I take a shower and change clothes, I will go to Cai's mansion!"

"But Shizi, it's going to be dark soon!"

"If you don't go today, the news will reach Old Man Cai's ears tomorrow, and you won't have to go in the future, this is a matter of attitude!"

"Then I'll go and prepare immediately!" Huo Shao nodded.

Under the costumes of a few little maids, Mu Jing took a refreshing bath, these days when he was out and about, he took two baths, and his body was about to stink, and after taking a bath, he changed into a white crown dress.

In this era, the crown dress, like the suit of later generations, is a symbol of the robe of an adult man, and a necessity for serious occasions.

After getting ready to go, he got into the carriage, and there were several carriages behind the carriage, with a lot of gifts on them, all of which were gifts for him to go to Cai's mansion to make amends.

When I arrived at Caifu, it was already dark.

In front of Cai's house, the gate is closed, and the lanterns in front of the door on the left and right emit a faint light, which can see the Caifu plaque very clearly.

Huo Shao stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The door was opened to greet an old butler of the Cai family.

The old housekeeper saw the figure in front of him clearly, and trembled: "It's my uncle, go and report to my lord, it's my uncle who has come to the door!" ”

When he shouted, the entire Cai Mansion was mobilized, it was hot, and the sound of his steps was a little messy.

Half an hour later, Mu Jing sat in front of Cai Yong.

"Humph!"

Cai Yong just gave a simple cold drink, and Mu Jing was suddenly silent.

"Who is this?" Cai Yong's yin and yang weird way.

"Dad, my son-in-law has made amends to you!" Mu Jing said with a smile.

"Huh!"

Cai Yong sneered: "It turns out that the old man still has a son-in-law!" ”

"What are you talking about, Dad?"

Mu Jing said righteously: "Jing has married Zhao Ji and should be his father's son-in-law!" ”

"You still know that you married Akihime!" Cai Yong was furious: "Mu Longtu, is there a husband like you in the world, my son married into Rufu, less than three days, you disappeared without a trace, the day my son returned to the door, you disappeared, everyone in the world is laughing at my Cai Bo is blind, and married his daughter to a negative man like you!" ”

"Daddy, rest the anger, stop the anger!"

Mu Jing hurriedly said: "The son-in-law knows, this is the fault of the son-in-law, the son-in-law is not coming to the door to make amends, he wants to be punished, the son-in-law admits it, but you must not be angry, it is not good to be angry with your body!" ”

"Mu Longtu, do you really think that marrying the old man's daughter can be so presumptuous, my Cai's face, are you so ruined, you don't care about Zhaoji's face at all, even so, you should leave!"

Cai Yong said gloomily.

"Impossible!"

Mu Jing suddenly rose up, and glared angrily: "Dad, you can't say this!" ”

"Why not!" Cai Yong said coldly: "My Cai Yong's daughter, you don't hurt, I hurt myself, I can't let her be wronged bit by bit, the day you return to the door, let her face it alone, she has become a laughing stock in Luoyang, such a son-in-law, I can't afford it!" ”

"Dad, this matter is Jing's fault, Jingzi will bear it, but it is impossible to reconcile and leave, marry my Mumen, be born as a person of my Mumen, and die as a ghost of my Mumen!"

Mu Jing persistently said.

"Mu Longtu, do you really think that the old man can't help you?"

Cai Yong's gloomy eyes crossed a chill.

Mu Jing shuddered, this old man seems to be famous and has no deterrence, but these old ministers who are still standing in the world in the wind and rain must not be underestimated in the slightest, if they are serious and desperate, it is enough to destroy many people.

"Dad, think about it, Zhao Ji is my wife, the world knows, if she is reconciled, how to face the world in the future, this is not good for her reputation!"

Mu Jing said in a deep tone.

"Humph!"

Cai Yong snorted coldly, the so-called harmony is just angry talk, no matter how stupid he is, he will not let his daughter become a cousin.
