Chapter 572: After the shock, the family is down!
"The old man thought that he was just killing chickens and monkeys, but he didn't expect him to kill that monkey directly and uproot the Zheng family, these Hanzhong families, the squires of Nanzheng, he killed at least more than a quarter, what a ruthless means, what a crazy heart!" In the backyard of the Tang Mansion, Old Man Tang was sighing, with a pair of cloudy eyes and a trace of incredible light.
"Dad, he's so violent, isn't he afraid of causing public outrage?"
Tang Ying, the head of the Tang family, had a somewhat ugly face.
This time, if it weren't for the old man personally sitting in the Tang family and suppressing his imminent heart, I'm afraid that one of the severed heads at the mouth of the East Market would be him.
Mu Jing's ruthlessness is particularly terrifying, it is really ruthless, not even afraid of revenge, nor afraid of the resistance of these families.
"Bo Xu, you have to understand, now is not the time of the prosperous era, in today's world, there are soldiers to be kings, now Mu Jing has soldiers in his hands, as long as he grasps the reason, he dares to kill, we are a family, we are influential, and the scholars in Hanzhong listen to us, but if we die, if the Tang family is destroyed, how many people do you think will avenge us!" Old Man Tang said slowly.
"This ......"
Tang Ying's expression was a little pale.
"The Su family back then, in Hanzhong, could inherit the imperial court and the people, but wasn't it also destroyed when the door was destroyed!" Old Man Tang sighed: "The times are different, and our survival methods are also different!" ”
"Are we going to submit to him like this?" Tang Ying was unwilling.
"Or else?"
Old Man Tang glanced at him obliquely: "Maybe you think that the Zheng family of my Tang family will end up in the same way, with flesh and blood, blocking the front of the Mu family's soldiers, seeking his own death, showing the righteousness of heaven and earth......"
"Son doesn't dare!"
Tang Ying trembled, Mu Jing destroyed the Zheng family, and dared to behead their Tang family, this person has no taboos and cannot be provoked.
"When it's time to be soft, we have to be soft!"
Old Man Tang said calmly: "Two hundred years ago, in the Xinmang Rebellion, how many families who were glorious because of the prosperity of the Han Dynasty broke their armor and destroyed the door, and how many civilian families jumped up and achieved the flow of the family, the world is impermanent, in your eyes, this is a disaster, in the eyes of the old man, it may not be an opportunity, a good opportunity!" ”
"Opportunity?" Tang Ying squinted, his eyes flashed with a glint of doubt: "Father won't think that he can achieve great things!" ”
He immediately arched his hand and said: "Father, you can think clearly, the Mu family is a thief, the world is famous, this life is just struggling in the swamp, I don't know the world, the Chang'an court is growing stronger and stronger, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, there is Hebei Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu swept the Quartet, there is Yuan Shu Yuan Highway to sit in Yuzhou, not to mention Jingzhou Liu Biao, after the Han Dynasty, just say Yizhou, Liu Yan Liu Envoy Jun, is also a talented person, how can he tolerate a thief, he has a soldier today, taking advantage of the chaos in the world, can still divide the land of Hanzhong, But if the Quartet makes a move, he will definitely lose! ”
"The world is impermanent, how do you know that he can only succumb to my Hanzhong, how do you know that he will be defeated in the future!"
Old Man Tang sneered: "We can't see so far, the old man only knows one thing, we don't surrender to him, tomorrow will be the day when the Tang family will be destroyed!" ”
When Tang Ying heard this, he was immediately silent.
This makes people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
"I heard that the Taishou Mansion is going to recruit you as the commander of Nanzheng County?" Old man Tang is well-informed.
"It's a rumor!"
Tang Ying said: "In the turmoil of the people the night before, I did my best to stabilize the hearts of the people for him according to my father's instructions, and then Mu Jing knew, when this was too guarded by the house, praised me, and said that I had the power to calm the people, and wanted to recruit me as the county order, but the real order did not come down, perhaps, he was just talking!" ”
"No!"
Old Man Tang said: "Mu Longtu is the Marquis of Ming, the lord of one side, how can he speak casually in front of everyone, his words are his faith, he can kill Wushuang, but he can't lose his trust in the world, so since he said so, he must do it!" ”
"Nanzheng County Order?" Tang Ying swallowed a mouthful of saliva, if you want to say that you don't want to, that's fake, Nanzheng is the county seat of Hanzhong, and the Nanzheng County Order is the capital of the Minghou Mansion, which is not much worse than Hanzhong Taishou, and its status will not be much worse.
"Although the old man knows that Minghou will do what he says, we can't wait!"
Old Man Tang said: "Bo Xu, you personally go to the Minghou Mansion and take the initiative to recommend yourself!" ”
"Why?"
"Surrender to Cheng, you have to have the appearance of Tou Cheng, he gave us face, we have to give him face, otherwise, he will still stare at us in the future, the Tang family, can't withstand the Mu family's means!" Old Man Tang pinched the bridge of his nose, there was a trace of tiredness in his expression, he was not in good health, if it weren't for Tang Ying not being able to take on the responsibility of the Tang family, he wouldn't need to work so hard.
"Yes!"
Although Tang Ying was a little angry, he had always been obedient to Old Man Tang.

Mansion.
In the courtyard, under a big tree, Mu Jing sat in white, kneeling on the bamboo mat, and Xi Zhicai was drinking tea and talking with the opposite side.
"It seems that your killing at Dongshikou is still somewhat useful!" Xi Zhicai counted some of the recommendation letters in his hand, and a smile rose slightly on the corner of his mouth: "In less than two days, there are no less than twenty scholars in Nanzheng City who want to recommend scholars, a rare good start!" ”
In today's era, if you want to take a career in office, you must have someone to recommend, and the person to recommend is not a great Confucian, but a great sage of the imperial court, or a family head with a lot of influence.
That's why the Maison has a strong presence.
Even if there are some children from poor families, who have studied hard for more than ten years and have succeeded in studying, in the end, they can only ask some famous Confucians to recommend them before they can get out of the career.
How many scholars, hanging beams and thorns, ten years of reading like a day, just to be able to get ahead, career, and become an official, is the goal of scholars, and it is also one of the means for wealthy families to control readers.
"Everyone has only one head, how many people can be afraid of immortality?"
Mu Jing sneered: "Don't think that a scholar is fearless, you can be wise in reading, but you can't bear the sword, gun, sword and stick!" ”
"Don't be happy too early, their submission is temporary, these people, as long as one day they meet the master they think, sooner or later they will stab us in the back!" Xi Zhicai pouted: "It's no wonder that we were defeated in Luoyang at the beginning, and we were condemned by those people in Chang'an to be angry, and the name of the shepherd has long been intolerable, and it is too difficult to really recruit scholars for our use!" ”
"That's not necessarily, there are good and bad reputations, I have a bad name, it's right to say it's a bad thing, but it's not without benefits, at least I can get the world's fame, and I still have a chance to get back a city in the future, take 10,000 steps back, I have to bear the name of a national thief, so what, even if we can't recruit it, I can cultivate it myself!"
Mu Jing said domineeringly.
"It's easy to say!" Xi Zhicai sneered: "Do you know how much effort and time it takes to train a reader? ”
"Take your time, it will always get better!"
Mujing shrugged.
"What do you think about recruiting Tang Ying as the commander of Nanzheng County?" Xi Zhicai asked.
"Stability and balance!"
Mu Jing said indifferently: "Since you can't beat them to death with a stick, if you beat them with a stick, you have to give them a piece of sugar, on the one hand, it is to stabilize these families, we always need scholars to govern Hanzhong for us, after all, let a person who doesn't know two big characters govern a county city, it is not real at that time, as for the second reason, I also need to balance the power of Su Xin Yeru, using Tang Ying is the best choice!" ”
"You're so scheming!"
Xi Zhicai said with some annoyance: "But why are these scripts sent here?" ”
"The Ming Hou Mansion, the three giants, the long history, the main book, Sima, can lead the affairs, now the long history and the main book are not there, but Sima is here, not you to deal with it, who will handle it?"
"Damn!"
Xi Zhicai was speechless, spit out an inelegant word in his heart, and then asked: "Isn't there any news from Nanyang, when will Hu Kongming and them enter Hanzhong?" ”
If these people don't come again, he won't be able to hold on.
