In the middle of July, it was the season of the rainy season, and above the sky of Luoyang City, among the dark clouds, thunder and lightning, and torrential rain poured down, as if they wanted to wash away the thick smell of blood inside and outside the city.

Just after the early dynasty, many civil and military officials rushed out of the city gate of Nangong, and under the umbrella of the servants, they got into their own carriage and left Nangong.

Makiyama also returned to the Taifu Mansion.

After returning to the Taifu Mansion, he came to the Book Pavilion, and saw Mu Jing's figure cross-legged on the futon, holding a book in his hand and reading it carefully, and his expression was also a lot of relief.

During this period of time, Mu Jing was quite obedient, cultivated in the house, studied with peace of mind, did not forcibly practice martial arts, and did not wander around.

The best news is that Her Royal Highness said that his body has gradually recovered eighty or ninety, and there is no major loss of life expectancy in the future, which is naturally good news for Mu Shan, and it is worth rejoicing about.

"Daddy!" Mu Shan hurriedly stood up: "Why did you come back from the court so quickly!" ”

"It's just a formality!"

Mushan sat down, patted the water droplets on his body, and said with a smile.

"Cutscenes?"

Mu Jing didn't go out to know the affairs of the court, he knew that today's court would have a very important thing, not a simple scene, he took out a pot of tea from the stove, poured it for Mu Shan, and then said suspiciously: "Dad, today's court meeting, isn't it to decide on the candidate for Jinwu?" ”

"Hmm!"

Mu Shan nodded: "That's right, but the candidate has already been decided, Wei Wei Yang Biao was promoted to Zhijin Wu, and Huang Shao filled the position of Wei Wei, just the rightful commander of the Southern Army!" ”

"Yang Biao?"

When Mu Jing heard this, his pupils changed slightly: "Didn't my father refute it?" ”

The Southern Army has been reorganized, all of which are supplemented by the Nanyang Army, the main will be Huang Shao, although Wei Weiqing Yang Biao is the minister of Jiuqing, but now it is like an empty shell, it could have gone to the arm of those ministers of the family, but Yang Biao did not expect to change and become the ruling Jinwu.

Shi Eun as the ruling Jinwu.

When marrying a wife, you should marry Yin Lihua.

This is the famous words of Emperor Guangwu back then, and it is also an inspirational for countless people in this dynasty, and the position of holding Jinwu is even more hot in this dynasty, and can control the order and power of the capital, and undertake the tasks of patrolling in the capital, prohibiting violence, supervising rape, etc., and the subordinate officials have the middle base, the temple mutual, the arsenal, the four orders of the ship, and the cavalry, the halberdiers, up to thousands of soldiers and horses, in the later generations, it is a police department.

This position can be big or small in the court, it may not be as good as the southern army and the northern army, but it can be regarded as a military power, even if it can't be argued, it must be fought for.

"The Father has promised them!"

Mu Shan indifferently replied to Mu Jing's question: "This position is nominated by them personally, as long as His Majesty agrees, it doesn't matter if he is his father, this position has actually been given up by his father, so it is a passing scene!" ”

"Why?" Mu Jing suddenly didn't understand.

"Jing'er, after all, my father is the first to enter the capital, support the new monarch to succeed to the throne, and control the power of the court, but after all, the foundation is unstable!" Mu Shan's face twitched, and soon returned to normal, and said seriously: "The position of Zhijinwu is not big, let it out, let it out, thousands of soldiers and horses I don't put in my eyes, but if you force them too tight, I am afraid that they will jump off the wall in a hurry, these old ministers of the former dynasty, none of them are vegetarians, Mr. Jiang recently instructed his father to act strongly, but we still need to be low-key, after all, we have not completely established our footing!" ”

"That's right!"

Mu Jing heard this, thought about it carefully, and it can be regarded as recognition, after all, the current situation is neither good nor bad, it is just to maintain balance, and the influence needs to be enhanced step by step, not overnight.

Mu Shan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally fooled this muddy boy, he didn't dare to say that he was fooled by Empress Dowager He and lost a position of holding Jinwu in a few words, which was a little too embarrassing in front of his son.

"But Dad, we can't give up all of them in the Jinwu Yamen!" Mu Jing pondered for a while, and a shining light crossed his eyes.

"But now the wood has been accomplished!" Mu Shan frowned: "The holy decree has been issued, if it is for the father's disobedience to the holy will, wouldn't it be under the authority of others!" ”

"The position of the ruling Jingo has been given up, isn't there still the position of the ruling Jinwucheng?" Mu Jing said with a smile: "Zhijinwu is an official of the middle two thousand stones, Zhijinwu Yamen is so big, it is impossible for one person to be alone, Zhijinwu is above 10,000 people under this yamen, and there is a lot of power, if there is a person with unique skills, it is not that he can't control thousands of soldiers and horses of Zhijinwu!" ”

"Holding the gold?"

Makiyama squinted: "It's a good choice, but even so, I don't have too many people under my command who can use it now!" ”

This is one of his shortcomings, he has no connections in the capital, and the civil and military officials are all sloppy people, even if there is a good position, no one can trust him.

His descendants are all in charge of the army, whether it is the Violent Bear Army or the soldiers and horses that are being reorganized from the Nanyang Army to the Southern Army, they are the foundation of his foothold in the capital, so all his talents are basically poured into this, above the court, not that he doesn't want to intervene, but that he has no one to intervene in.

"Not necessarily our own people!"

Mu Jing shook his head, his eyes flashed brightly, and said: "No matter who it is, as long as the people in this position are used well, it will be enough for us, after all, we don't care about this bit of soldiers and horses, we just hope that this little bit of soldiers and horses won't make trouble for us, right!" ”

"That's right!"

Mu Shan nodded, he looked at Mu Jing's radiant expression, his heart suddenly stabilized a lot, and asked, "You have someone to choose?" ”

"But there is one, it depends on whether Dad dares to use it!"

"Who!"

"Cao Mengde!"

"Cao Cao?"

Mu Shan quickly recalled everything about this person in his thoughts: "It is the young man who led the elite soldiers of the West Garden at the beginning, and later rebelled against the ten permanent servants to follow He Jin, and was placed by Yuan Shao on the North Mountain!" ”

"That's him!" Mu Shan said: "I think, at this time, he already hated those wealthy families, especially the Yuan family!" ”

"Hao Ming said, this person is not simple, if he doesn't use it well, he will be a double-sided blade, and he will hurt himself, so I have been pressing it and not using it!" Makiyama Road.

"Master Jiang is not wrong, the double-sided blade is right!"

The pastor nodded: "It can be used well, it can hurt people!" ”

"Are you sure?"

"Under our noses, I don't believe that he can still have three heads and six arms, if he uses it well, he can check and balance the Jinwu Yamen, if he doesn't use it well, it's the worst plan, and he just flattens this Jinwu Yamen!" Mu Jing sneered, he just wanted to use this eternal hero, he never doubted Cao Cao's ability, as long as Cao Cao was given a stage, he would eventually break out, since this muddy water of Luoyang has waded, the more turbid, the better.

"Okay!"

Mu Shan was a little affected by his son's domineering, and said, "I'll go to the manuscript and hand it over immediately!" ”

As soon as he wanted to get up, he thought about it again, and said, "But how docile Cao Cao will be, at our mercy, I will take care of this person, he is a hard bone!" ”

"He will!"

Mu Jing said confidently: "This is a person who is not willing to be lonely, he will not wait for death!" ”

……

……

In the afternoon, walking with an umbrella, in the rain, Mu Jing walked into the barracks on the east side of the Violent Bear Barracks.

"Subordinate Deng Hong, meet the son!"

The commander of the Pingshan battalion, Captain Deng Hong, personally went out of the camp to greet him.

The Violent Bear Army is the descendant of Mushan, and now Zhao Ping is the main general of the Violent Bear Zhonglang, and Zhou Cang is the deputy general of the Right Zhonglang, and the two are in command of the Violent Bear Seven Battalions.

Zhao Ping is in charge of the Violent Bear Battalion, Lei Hu is in charge of the Pioneer Battalion, Zhou Cang is in charge of the Flying Cavalry Battalion, Cheng Luo, the commander of the bow and crossbow battalion, and Li Yan, the commander of the Heavy Armor Battalion, have been transferred to the Taifu Mansion after entering Luoyang, and both battalions currently have Zhou Cang's acting commander, Deng Hong controls the Pingshan Battalion and is the captain of Pingshan, and Liu Jin is in charge of the Yangshan Battalion, currently sitting in Nanyang.

Now the Violent Bear Army is also expanding, after all, guarding the capital, this point of strength is insufficient, but it will take time to expand the army, not from Luoyang, but from Nanyang, and the Yangshan battalion needs to transport new recruits to Luoyang before training.

"Go to the dungeon!" After Mu Jing came in, he said indifferently, Huang Zhong followed closely, his burly body was like steel, his eyes were like cold eagles, he scanned the environment around Mu Jing for several meters, and did not let go of the slightest movement.

"No!"

Deng Hong took the order.

There is a dungeon in the barracks of the Violent Bear Army, which is a dungeon formed by several cellars, and the surrounding area has become a school ground for the Violent Bear Army to camp, and these cellars were naturally requisitioned by the Violent Bear Army, and after the city dungeon was built, it became a place where the Violent Bear Army held some captured generals.

It's not the first time Mu Jing has come to the dungeon, he has also come twice before and after, and he personally said that some of the generals of the Northern Army who were captured during the Battle of Sunset Pavilion were lowered.

After he walked through a cell, he suddenly stopped: "Why is this place empty, isn't it He Xian, the middle marquis of the Northern Army?" ”

"Indeed!"

Deng Hong nodded: "But a few days ago, the lord ordered him to be released!" ”

"Released?" When Mu Jing heard this, he squinted slightly, this is not a big deal, it's just that the father who killed him always has to prevent others from taking revenge, so he let it go so casually, it's a little unreasonable, he is not a soft-hearted person.

Forget it, since this matter was ordered by his Lao Tzu, there must be a reason, and he doesn't care too much about it.

Mu Jing continued to walk inside, walked to a cell, and looked at the young man in the cell: "Brother Meng De, these days, they haven't neglected you, right?" ”

"It's delicious and delicious, but it's a good treat!"

Cao Cao was reduced to a prisoner, but he did not hide his demeanor at all, wearing a cloth coat and a cloak, but he smiled happily: "Brother Longtu took the initiative to see me today, and he was ready to kill me!" ”

"Definitely!" Mu Jing opened the cell door, walked in, and didn't sit down, the ground was covered with haystacks, but it was still a little dirty, he stood and said to Cao Cao: "I'm here to let you out!" ”

"Let me go?" When Cao Cao heard this, he was a little surprised, and he said calmly: "This is a little surprising!" ”

"Not only will I let you out, but my father is also going to recommend you as the ruling gold and the king, what do you mean?" Mujing Road.

"Holding the gold?"

Cao Cao's eyes burst out with a glittering light, looked at Mu Jing, and said, "I'm afraid this Jinwu is not simple!" ”

"Yang Biao!"

"The head of the Hongnong Yang family is also a minister who has gone through several dynasties, the pillar of Guanzhong, and one of the pillars of the family!" Cao Cao's reaction was extremely quick: "You want to use me to disrupt the military power of Jinwu?" ”

"That's right!"

Mu Jing didn't have the slightest intention to hide his intentions: "Our Mu father and son have no foundation in the capital, and none of the three princes and nine kings in the court have any lineage, so naturally they can't play with these old guys, so they have to borrow their strength!" ”

"Aren't you afraid that I shouldn't?"

"Are you willing?" Mu Jing asked rhetorically.

"Unwilling!"

Cao Cao replied coldly.

He straightened his robe, looked out of the wooden fence, and asked indifferently, "Can I go out now?" ”

"Anytime!"

Mu Jing made a respectful gesture.

"Even if I leave here, I may not surrender under the banner of Makiyama!" Before Cao Cao stepped out of the cell, he said, "Isn't the gain worth the loss if you are not afraid?" ”

"What will happen in the future, who of us can say for sure!"

Mu Jing said calmly: "The so-called like-minded people can be allies, but the Tao is different, so naturally they don't conspire with each other, I let you go now because we need you, and there is still a lot of power behind you that can be used by us, and I also want to see if the Tao between us is the same or different!" ”

Cao Cao, a heroic man in history, dug the tomb of the Han Dynasty, but a little bit of history is actually very real, before the arrival of the troubled times, he was just a young man who hoped that on his epitaph a hundred years later, carved with "The Tomb of the Great Han Cao Zhengxi".
