Chapter 177: Upward
Early morning.
A red sun rises, the morning sun breaks, the sun shines on the earth, dispels the thick cold, and thaws the heavy ice and snow.
In the palace.
The Son of Heaven had no sleep all night, wearing a leather jacket, sitting in the courtyard, quietly watching the sun slowly rise, and asked in a deep voice: "Father Shang, how is the situation outside the palace?" ”
In Luoyang City, there is really nothing that can keep his ears and eyes busy.
He can support the ten permanent servants and tilt the power towards the government and the opposition, even if he is now a dragon who is about to die, he is also a dragon, and the dragon is very strict about his territory, and he will not lose control of a mere Luoyang City.
But he chose indulgence.
Because he knows that his own time is running out, he is not losing to anyone, he just loses to God, even if Zhang Rang keeps killing the imperial doctor who diagnosed his body, even if Zhang Rang doesn't say anything, he knows very well in his heart that his body can't survive for a few years.
"Your Majesty, the seal prison is fine, but Sikong Mansion has been burned to ruins!"
Zhang Rang stood next to him and replied respectfully: "There is also Taiwei Yuan Kui, who was burned and only had half a life left, if it weren't for He Jin and his people coming in time, he would probably perish in the flames, but despite this, he was also half burned, his appearance was completely ruined, and now he is still burning and poisoning, and he has not yet woken up!" ”
"Huh!"
The Son of Heaven smiled, and the smile on the corner of his mouth had a touch of sarcasm: "Yuan Zhouyang and Yuan Ciyang, two old foxes, have joined forces in the court, suppressing me for most of my life, and I have fought with them for most of my life, but I have never been able to help their fur, and now they have actually suffered a big loss in the hands of a hairy boy, and they are very happy!" “
He and Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui are also old rivals, these two brothers occupy the position of the three dukes, control the government, command the scholars, and almost put him in the air, they are incompatible, because he is the representative of the imperial power, Yuan Feng and Yuan Kui are indeed the representatives of the family gatekeepers, and they are originally enemies.
He thought for a moment and said, "But Mu Longtu is going to suffer a big loss!" ”
burned down the Sikong Mansion and almost destroyed Yuan Kui, which angered the entire Shilin, after all, the reputation and status of the two above Shilin were not comparable to ordinary people, even Lu Zhi and the others would not be willing to see Mu Jing trample on the people of the Shi clan so high above the court.
"No!"
Zhang Rang shook his head and said, "The entire street has been burned, including the Xi'e Township Marquis's Mansion, as well as the General's Mansion!" ”
"Ruthless!"
The Son of Heaven's pupils changed color slightly, and only after half a sound did he say, "Father Shang, can you use this person for the Mulong Diagram?" ”
"There is no one in the world who His Majesty can't use!" Zhang said.
"I can suppress him, but what about Bian'er and Xie'er?" The Son of Heaven sighed, he is now just a father who paves the way for his son.
Last night's battle, let the Son of Heaven see the demon of Mujing.
It also made him a little jealous of Mu Jing.
In his opinion, Mu Jing's son has an extraordinary mind, and the strategy of the city government is not inferior to any adult, but it is still a little deficient compared to some old foxes, otherwise he would not fall into his own chess game.
He thinks he can afford to use the pasture.
However, one of the biggest advantages of Mujing is that he is young.
This is an advantage that the Son of Heaven does not have.
"This ......"
When Zhang Rang heard this, he suddenly didn't dare to speak.
Whether it is Liu Wei or Liu Xie, I am afraid they can't suppress Mu Jing, Liu Wei's character is a little cowardly, Liu Xie is still young, after any of them ascend the throne, they can survive He Jin Yuan Feng and them, but once Mu Jing is used, Mu Jing will be a powerful minister.
You must know that Mu Jing is only fourteen years old this year, the same age as Liu Wei, if it goes well, he can survive everyone in the court, including his own ten permanent servants.
"You said that I really went one day, how about taking the Mulong Tu with me?" The Son of Heaven played with a piece of blood-red jade jue between his fingers, and his inadvertent voice was filled with Xiao Leng killing intent.
Zhang Rang didn't dare to say another word.
"Forget it!"
The Son of Heaven shook his head and gave up this thought: "They are still young, and they still have to experience how they will be created in the future, and I can't be so far away!" ”
This is the helplessness of the Son of Heaven, he can take Mu Jing away with a holy decree, but his son is young, after all, he can't stop those old foxes in the court, he doesn't want his son to become a puppet, he needs to balance, he needs someone to block the wind and rain for his son, Mu Jing is the most suitable for you to choose, Mu Jing has Mu Shan behind him, Mu Shan holds the military power, which is the biggest deterrent.
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Zhang Rang breathed a sigh of relief.
The Son of Heaven stood up, looked up at the blue sky, and said in a deep voice: "Luoyang is Luoyang after all, this chaos will end here, pass on my order, the northern army will return to the camp, Yuan Pengguan will be reinstated, lead the Jinwuti cavalry, martial law will be imposed on the whole city, and any chaotic people who dare to take advantage of the chaos will be killed!" ”
"In addition, the herald of hundreds of officials, the dynasty will be restored today!"
"No!"
Zhang Rang gave up his hand to take the order.
……
……
Printing Superintendent.
In the main hall, Mu Jing looked at Zhang Huo and said in a deep voice: "How is the injury?" ”
"It's not serious!"
Zhang Ning personally examined it and said: "He was just shocked by the sword qi and injured his internal organs, but his cultivation can still be suppressed, as long as he quietly cultivates for ten days, he should be able to heal, but he was injured last time and still has some tails, and now he is injured again, I am afraid that he will leave the root of the disease in the future!" ”
"Uncle Huo, who hurt you?" Mu Jing asked in a deep voice at this time.
He calculated very well last night, if Zhang Huo and they withdrew quickly, they should not be injured, after all, the main forces of Sikong Mansion have been dispatched.
"He Jin!"
Zhang Huo struggled to sit up, his face was pale, and he said bitterly: "I underestimated him, after the sound of the east and west and the transfer of Zhang Jin, I thought that there was no master in the General's Mansion, but I didn't expect He Jin's martial arts to be so terrifying, I actually took less than ten moves under him, fortunately, the reaction was fast, the fire in the General's Mansion burned earlier, otherwise I am afraid that it would have folded in the General's Mansion!" ”
"Didn't I say, don't attack the General's Mansion as much as possible!" Mu Jing frowned.
"It's that I can't help it, after the fire in Sikong Mansion was burned, the General's Mansion dispatched Zhang Jin and others to fight the fire, I thought, maybe the General's Mansion will be a little empty, and I want to explore the depth of the General's Mansion!"
Zhang Huo said ashamedly.
"There has always been Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the army, the general is in charge of the world's military power, and the strong under his command are like clouds, how can it be so easy to get to the bottom!" Mu Jing shook his head.
"But I also burned half of his Great General's Mansion!"
Zhang Huo hates your Dao very much.
"That's their carelessness, if they have a little preparation, I'm afraid none of you will be able to get out, besides, even if you were lucky last night, in order to attack the General's Mansion, you also broke a lot of people!"
"Waving the soldiers, Jingping soldiers have broken nearly half!" Huo Shao knelt beside him and replied.
"It's a big loss!"
Mu Jing gritted his teeth and said.
"Lord Order, a holy decree comes out of the palace and summons hundreds of officials to the court!"
At this time, the eunuch Zhao Xin came from outside in a hurry, bowed his hand, and then said.
"Reinstated?" When Mu Jing heard this, his expression sank.
According to the rules, the end of the year is closed, at least until the fifteenth day of the first month, there should be a few days before going to the court, but I didn't expect to return to the dynasty so soon, it seems that some things are not so simple, maybe the person who plays chess is not him at all, nor Yuan Feng, but ......
"Your Majesty personally ordered that the dynasty be restored today!" Zhao Xin bowed down and said: "Your Majesty also issued a holy decree to restore Lord Yuan Huang's official position as the ruler of Jinwu, and ordered the ruler of Jinwu to ride under martial law in the whole city!" ”
"Huo Yu, take my official robe!"
"No!"
With Zhang Ning's personal help, Mu Jing put on the official robe of the seal making supervision order, and then began to instruct everyone, saying: "Uncle Zhong, the Xi'e Township Marquis Mansion has been burned, and now my people are in the official office of making the seal, and the official office here depends on you, although this matter should be rainy and sunny, but you must not relax, the most afraid is to return to the horse gun!" ”
"Yes!" Huang Zhong nodded.
"Zhicai, you have to be optimistic about Jingping Study, the news that the printing prison was attacked by unknown people last night was released, which can be exaggerated, such as burning tens of thousands of books, and then our Jingping Study Zhai issued a purchase restriction method!"
Originally, the books in Jingping's study were in short supply, and they had the idea of restricting purchases, and now there is a formal reason for restricting purchases.
"You want to stir up opposition to the Yuan clan in Shilin!" How wise Xi Zhicai was, he suddenly gained insight into Mu Jing's intentions.
"I'm weak, so I have to rely on it!"
Mu Jing said: "The people's hearts can help me!" ”
"Okay!"
Xi Zhicai thought about it, agreed, and said, "I'll help you again!" ”
……
In the South Palace, the hundred officials are mighty, and after passing the noon gate, they can go straight to the main hall of the upper court along the stone steps.
On the high stone steps, hundreds of officials walked together.
"Why did you go to court today!"
"It wasn't last night!"
"Didn't there be a fire last night?"
"You are stupid, the dignified Sikong Mansion and the Great General's Mansion caught fire at the same time, do you believe it?"
"So what's going on?"
"I don't know, but I'm afraid there must be a mystery in it!"
"I also heard about one thing, I heard that the printing prison was attacked by unknown people last night!"
"And has something to do with the Printing Superintendent?"
"It's a lot of fun!"
"I'm afraid Your Majesty is going to be furious, everyone should be careful today!"
“……”
As they walked up the stone steps, they exchanged words and ears, discussing what had happened last night, exchanging information before going to court, and then giving themselves some confidence to deal with it.
"Xiaguan Mujing, meet Lord Sikong!" Mu Jing walked at the back, and he saw Yuan Feng, the head of the hundred officials, in front of him, a sneer raised slightly at the corner of his mouth, and he stepped forward with a smile.
As a petty official who only has a rank of 600 stones, in the face of Lord Sikong, who has a rank of 10,000 stones and a golden seal and purple ribbon, he should go to salute.
Now, though, his salute was more of a provocation.
"Who is my Dao, it turned out to be the seal making supervision order, the prince of Xi'e Hou!"
Yuan Feng asked himself if the sea had been up and down for decades, and his qi cultivation kung fu had already been superb, but in front of this little bastard, he still broke the gong, and his eyes seemed to be about to erupt flames: "The son of the world was ruthless enough last night, but the son of the world is so reckless and ruthless, isn't he afraid of heaven's punishment!" ”
"Xiaguan doesn't understand what Lord Sikong said!"
When Mu Jing heard this, he sighed a little sadly: "I heard that there was a sudden fire on Zhengyang Street last night, the fire was fierce, not only burned my Xi'e Hou Mansion, but also burned Sikong Mansion, hurting a lot of people, this day is dry, and Luoyang's fire prevention awareness is too lacking, fortunately, I reviewed government affairs overnight in the government office last night, and the people of my West Ehou Mansion just happened to be not in the house, otherwise I am afraid that they will be unable to escape death, this is lucky!" ”
