Afternoon.

After three rounds of wine, more than half of the banquet.

The ministers of the He family who are basically all here are allies with each other, but they have a good chat, of course, Mu Jing is out of place, few people are willing to talk to him, and there is no reason to get very close.

However, Yuan Shu suddenly expressed his kindness, which made many people start to change.

Yuan Shu is the son of the Yuan family, and to a large extent, he represents the attitude of the Yuan family, the head of the scholar clan and the third prince of the fourth world.

If even the Yuan family began to gradually recognize Mu Jing.

They are unlikely to continue to resist Mu Jing, after all, Mu Jing now has a status, controlling the position of Hongdumen Xue's sacrificial wine, and it can even be compared with Taixue, with the support of Nanyang's heavy troops.

So there are also one or two that come up to pull the relationship.

Mujing naturally does not refuse.

There is no need for a relationship in Luoyang City here, but it is not wrong to have multiple friends and multiple paths, and it is not a bad thing to meet one or two He family ministers.

Overall, the banquet was good.

He Jin, the general who leaned the least power into the court, broke out, completely consolidating his influence in the court, and it became much easier to take charge of the court in the future.

In the evening, when the feast was coming to an end.

Mu Jing suddenly stood up.

"General, Jing has something to ask for, and please ask the general for permission!"

His sudden emergence made many people wonder.

When He Jin heard this, his eyes flashed a sharp light, he pressed his hand, the song and dance were withdrawn, and the atmosphere in the hall was quiet, and he said: "Long Tu doesn't need to be restrained, there is something to say, this general should be the master for you!" ”

"General, Jing wants to seek an official for his father!"

Mu Jing bowed his head, arched his hands, neither humble nor silent, and his voice was calm: "My father Mushan, guarding the county of Nanyang, conscientious, dare not be decadent, enter Nanyang has been leveled, the soldiers are lazy, my father wants to serve the court, and please ask the general Mingjian!" ”

"Seeking an official?"

"Seek the official in the open!"

"Shameless!"

"I don't know what to say!"

“……”

Everyone's eyes looked at Mu Jing, and they almost didn't scold directly.

Officialdom, how can it be so direct.

This pastoral scene is simply shameless.

"Xi'e Xianghou, Nanyang Taishou, Mushan!"

He Jin frowned, his eyes were lifelike, looking at Mu Jing's expression, his heart moved slightly, but he couldn't figure out what Mu Jing meant: "He guards Nanyang for the imperial court, isn't it?" ”

"My father is entrusted by the general, for Nanyang and the will of the shepherd, but the soldiers and horses under his command do not listen to the announcement, helpless, only the general is goodwill, can be transferred to Beijing as an official, to the land of Nanyang, please take it back!"

Mu Jing's voice word by word, resounding through the hall.

This time, he said it thoroughly.

He wants to completely surrender to the great general He Jin.

Therefore, let He Jin summon his father Mushan into the capital to take back the military power of Nanyang to show his sincerity.

"What?"

"Is this a relinquishment of military power?"

"Mushan is in Nanyang, with heavy troops in his hands, he can still be a violent bear in Nanyang, deterring the world, doesn't he know that Mushan has entered Beijing, and he is a dead bear that can be slaughtered?"

"Mulong Tuju is so short-sighted!"

"There is such a dog in Mushan, it is really a misfortune for the family, and you should be sad and indignant!"

Everyone looked at Mu Jing and shook their heads.

This kind of surrender, in their opinion, is short-sighted, just a Beijing official, empty of fame, how can it be compared to the princes who hold heavy troops outside, do not listen to propaganda, do not listen to the tune.

"The Mu clan wants to hand over the land of Nanyang?"

When Yuan Shu heard this, his pupils changed color, and he looked at Mu Jing deadly: "Damn, what are they thinking?" ”

In the land of Nanyang, it is naturally indispensable for the Lei Zi buried by the Yuan family, if Nanyang is in the hands of Mu Shan, Mu Shan does not have much foundation, and he still has a chance to get it back.

But if it is in the hands of He Jin, it will inevitably be troublesome.

He Jin is now in power, even if he is a member of the gate lord clan, he can't help it, how can he give up Nanyang.

"Originally, what do you think?" Cao Cao's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Mu Jing's expression, he always had a feeling that something was wrong.

"Although Mu Longtu is young, you and I have fought with him for several rounds, he doesn't look like such an ignorant and naïve person!"

Yuan Shao frowned, and only said after half a sound: "I think he has other plans!" ”

"Figure what?" Cao Cao was also a little puzzled.

"It's not clear yet!" Yuan Shao shook his head.

He Jinleng was stunned for a moment, and soon came back to his senses, his eyes were lifelike, he stared at Mu Jing, and after looking at it for a long time, he didn't see anything on Mu Jing's sincere and unfazed face.

Only then did he say: "Long Tu, you have such a heart, you should be fortunate for Brother Yuan, and you will play Your Majesty tomorrow and ask for his official position for Brother Yuan!" ”

"Thank you for the kindness of the general, the father and son of the Mu family, and never forget the general's support!"

Mu Jing kowtowed and thanked him.

Retreat.

This is a bait, he released Nanyang military power as a bait, giving his father a reputation for entering Beijing justifiably.

Of course, all this is just his plan.

He didn't know how much bargaining chips He Jin would give, but in this situation, even if he won a Jiuqing official position, it would be enough to deal with the future situation, if he could reach the sky in one step...... Hey!

……

……

After dark.

The feast of Ho House was dispersed.

In the mansion, only He Jin's staff and descendants remain.

"What do you think, what does the Mu family mean?" He Jin looked at his staff and asked.

"Maybe they just want to please the general and gain the general's trust!"

"Not necessarily, maybe they want to threaten the general, tell the general that they have a large army in their hands and raise their net worth!"

“……”

A group of staff members spoke one after another.

"Kong Zhang, what do you mean?" He Jin looked at these staff, and his eyes fell on Chen Lin.

"What does the Mulong picture mean, I don't know, but it's been a godsend for a long time, if you can't get Nanyang back, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult in the future, in this case, why don't you push the boat down the river!" Chen Lin thought for a while and said.

"Yuantu, what about you?" When He Jin heard this, he still didn't talk about some resolutions, and his eyes were looking at a new strategist, Feng Ji, Feng Yuantu.

"General, I think what Master Chen said is very true!"

Feng Ji bowed his hand, and then said: "Regardless of whether the Mu father and son are sincere or threatened, since this is the case, the general will directly take back Nanyang, as long as he takes down 100,000 soldiers in Nanyang, isn't the Mu family the general's puppet in the palm of his hand?" ”

"What if it's reversed?"

"Don't be afraid!"

Feng Ji talked eloquently, and said: "This matter was originally mentioned by Mu Jing, the imperial court is justified in promoting his official position, if he insists on rebellion, it is not right, the people of Nanyang will not support them, and everyone in the world will spurn them, then they will be chaotic, and the court will be defeated as soon as the king and master arrive!" ”

"General Nanyang Ben is indeed unwilling to let go of others' hands, after all, it is the land of ancestors!"

He Jin thought for a while and said, "But if Mu Yuanzhong takes the initiative to surrender, I'm afraid that General Ben can't hurt his heart, otherwise who will join General Ben's disciples in the future!" ”

"The general is thinking about how to place him?" Someone brought it up.

"Exactly!" He Jindao.

"Do you want a knighthood?"

"Title, he is a marquis, is it possible that you want to seal him as a marquis?"

"He was originally Nanyang Taishou, with an official position of 2,000 stones, and he came to Beijing, and he must be above Jiuqing!"

"But if you give him real power, wouldn't it be self-defeating!"

"And now Jiuqing's official position is extraordinary, how can he give it casually!"

“……”

The crowd was in a mess.

"My subordinates have a plan!" Chen Lin suddenly arched his hand.

"Say!"

"Taifu!"

"Taifu?"

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other.

"Taifu?" He Jin's eyes burst with a gleam.

After half a ring, everyone spoke.

"No!"

"The imperial court is too much, how can you give an order if you haven't established it for many years!"

"And in terms of the status of Taifu and the Three Princes, they are the pillars of the country, and they can only be used on the remnants of a yellow scarf!"

The crowd objected.

"Brother, I think it's okay!" He Miao, the general of the cavalry, said: "As long as Mu Shan enters the capital, he is not a good official, and we need to let Mu Shan enter Beijing with peace of mind, so it is the best policy!" ”

"But the imperial court has not established the position of Taifu for many years, and today's three dukes, headed by Sikong, Situ, and Taiwei, are already biased, so it is a bit out of line with the rules of the imperial court!"

He Jin hesitated.

"General, because of this, this is an idle position, although the status is lofty, but it can't shake the power of the three dukes, he Mushan entered Beijing, and in the end he can only rely on the general, become a knife for the general to deal with the three important ministers, does the general still want Mushan to take power in Beijing and threaten the position of the general?" Chen Lin said.

"That's right!"

He Jin finally got the idea: "Tomorrow I will enter the palace, and after discussing with the prince, I will make a decision!" ”

The so-called consultation is just to persuade the prince.

The matter is already a foregone conclusion.

……

……

A banquet of the He family made the name of General He Jin more stable, but after the banquet, there were some undercurrents in Luoyang City.

Above the Sikong Mansion, Yuan Feng crossed his knees, quietly listened to Yuan Shu's lecture on the things above the banquet, and after half a sound, he said: "The Mu clan is based in Nanyang, and we are helpless, after all, millions of people in Nanyang, more than 100,000 elite soldiers, if they are forced to rebel, it will be a disaster in the world, but now, the Mu clan wants to hand over the military power in his hands and give up the foothold in Nanyang, this matter is strange!" ”

"But Mu Jing has already begged He Jin in public, and He Jin should push the boat down the river at this moment!"

Yuan Shu said: "He's not just talking! ”

"Say it, spill it!" Yuan Feng pondered for a while and said, "It seems that the Mu family's heart to give up Nanyang is already firm!" ”

"Could it be just wishful thinking on the part of Mujing!"

Yuan Shu said in a low voice: "Make your own decisions!" ”

"No!"

Yuan Feng shook his head: "Mu Jing is not such a person, he has gone through ups and downs in the capital, ups and downs are still standing, he is not old, but he can see the extraordinary means, the city is quite deep, you and I have suffered losses in his hands, and now your uncle is still lying on the sickbed, and he is also thanks to him, he has an opinion, how can he deceive his father, it must be after consulting with his father, there must be a decision!" ”

"But that doesn't make sense!" Yuan Shu said: "I don't believe it, they are willing to give up the land of Nanyang and enter the capital for fish and meat, is it just for a little trust from He Jin?" ”

"How's Nanyang doing lately?" Yuan Feng suddenly asked.

"Nanyang?"

Yuan Shuleng was stunned: "It seems that there is no news back for some days!" ”

"Confused!"

Yuan Feng shouted: "Knowing yourself and knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, before I asked you to send people to keep an eye on Nanyang all the time, but you took my words as the wind in your ears?" ”

"I have already explained to Yuan Yin and asked him to send someone to keep an eye on Nanyang, but ......"

"But after so long without news, won't you rush it?" Yuan Feng sighed, looking at Yuan Shu, there was a feeling of hatred that iron could not become steel.

"I'll do it right away!"

Yuan Shu hurriedly went to contact the Runan spies.

Yuan Feng looked at the night outside the window, and his thoughts fell into it: "No matter what, Mushan's entry into Beijing is already the trend of the times, He Suigao will never give up such a good opportunity to take back Nanyang's military power, but how big an official position will he give, too small an official position, may not be able to lure Mushan into Beijing......"
