Mobile reading
The early appearance of the big smoke made Mao Wenlong vigilant again, and at this moment, he felt that he still couldn't seem to bypass the rolling wheel of history.
With his efforts, the Ming Dynasty finally came back to life, but there were always some things he didn't expect. It's like the fact that the smoke spread throughout the Ming Dynasty appeared so early this time, which completely subverted Mao Wenlong's worries about what was about to happen in the future.
The original history has been changed, but it has not been peaceful because of this, and some bad things that should have happened have been completely avoided with Mao Wenlong's efforts. But there will always be something else to replace, whether this is providence or God's deliberate arrangement, Mao Wenlong doesn't know. Life has come to this point for him, and if it comes, it will be safe.
And now, there is no threat within the Ming Dynasty and the surrounding areas that can really threaten the existence of the Ming Dynasty. Only this place on the sea is the biggest threat to the Ming Dynasty at present. If you are prepared, you will not be passive, Mao Wenlong doesn't want to huddle on the land of the Ming Dynasty, waiting for those unknown bad things to befall him.
Passive defense is a helpless situation will be like this, if possible, Mao Wenlong still prefers to take the initiative, so as to control the overall situation, rather than passive defense.
Hong Chengchou listened to Mao Wenlong's explanation, and he also agreed with Mao Wenlong's plan. did not interfere with any of Mao Wenlong's decisions, if he wanted to withdraw from the court, he must have a way of withdrawing, Hong Chengchou believed that Mao Wenlong would be able to keep the future of the Ming Dynasty, so he didn't have to worry about it anymore.
Under the order of Mao Wenlong, Mao Jingwen led those exiled meritorious deeds and returned to Beijing. When Hong Chengchou, the first assistant of the court, returned to his hometown and withdrew from the court, this matter was not small, and he needed to come back as the emperor to preside.
And Sun Chuanting, who was recommended as Hong Chengchou's successor, also began to prepare to take over the position of the first assistant of the dynasty. There are no rules, and after Mao Jingwen came back, he began to be busy with these things.
Mao Wenlong took advantage of the time when he could relax these days, stayed in the harem to accompany his family, and no longer interfered in any court politics.
Sun Chuanting took over the post of first assistant, and there was no opposition from the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, which can be said to be well deserved. The liveliness of the court did not affect the tranquility of the harem, and Mao Wenlong specially prepared a quiet courtyard for Hong Chengchou in the harem, so that he could enjoy the rest of his life here.
Today is the first day that Hong Chengchou withdrew from the court and moved to this Yinxian Temple. Mao Wenlong carried the treasured wine early in the morning and looked for it leisurely.
Hong Ziyan, who is doing her filial piety here, seems to have known that Mao Wenlong is coming, and has prepared appetizers for the two of them. After arranging the appetizers, Hong Ziyan smiled at Mao Wenlong and left.
Mao Wenlong looked at the leisurely Hong Chengchou, and was quite envious in his heart, as an official in the court, it seems that he is the only one who can get old and have such an ending.
Putting down the wine jar in his hand, Mao Wenlong sat comfortably opposite Hong Chengchou, opened the mud seal, and a mellow aroma of wine immediately emanated. After filling two glasses of wine, Mao Wenlong raised his glass and said with a smile: "This glass of wine is for Mr. to get his wish, congratulations." ”
Hong Chengchou slowly picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "It's a pity that the general soldier can't stay in Beijing, otherwise we can meet here every day in the future." ”
Mao Wenlong raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, and then said with a sigh of wine: "The world is impermanent, maybe after going to sea this time, there is no need to run around." Sir, you might as well wait a little longer, maybe the day when we will meet is not far off. ”
Hong Chengchou laughed when he heard this, raised his head and drank the wine in the toast boldly, and said heroically: "Then I wish the general soldiers and horses success." ”
The two of them had already drunk three glasses of wine in a row while laughing and talking, and the wine was in their stomachs, and the conversation began, and the atmosphere became lively. It is rare to have such a leisurely time, Hong Chengchou and Mao Wenlong also began to chat about family life. But these two people are not the masters of family talk at all, and they turned to the court again without saying a few words.
Hong Chengchou said with a smile: "The general soldier is still satisfied with the ministers in the court now? ”
Mao Wenlong pondered for a moment, nodded and said with a smile: "The ministers in the court have always been Mr. Observing, but this will come to ask me." Well, I might as well take this opportunity to talk to my husband today. ”
Hong Chengchou frowned, he heard the sound of the strings from Mao Wenlong's tone, and immediately said, "Chief soldier, please speak." ”
Mao Wenlong was not polite, raised his head and drank another glass of wine before he spoke: "The ministers in the court are now all people with lofty ideals, which is a good thing, but there is also a bad side. ”
Power has always needed to be restrained, and the ministers in the court and the emperor also have a subtle relationship of constraints. And there is also a need for mutual restraint between ministers and ministers, so there has always been a situation where there is no unity in the court.
But this is the case in the current court, Mao Wenlong realized this, and Hong Chengchou also noticed it. At present, the situation of the courtiers being united is very good, but after a long time, it will inevitably be a disaster.
Hong Chengchou's eyes flashed with appreciation, and he already knew from Mao Wenlong's words that Mao Wenlong was just like his thoughts at the moment.
"Are the general soldiers worried that the court is united and there is no restraint, which will lead to mistakes?" Hong Chengchou told the truth.
"Sir noticed it too."
Mao Wenlong sighed lightly: "This situation is indeed not conducive to the development of the Ming Dynasty, now we can only see what Sun Chuanting is capable of, if he is really talented, he should also see the shortcomings in the court." ”
Hong Chengchou nodded in agreement: "The general soldier can rest assured, Lord Sun was an official in two dynasties, and he was even more loyal." With his talents, he will certainly not disappoint the general soldiers. ”
For the successor he recommended, Hong Chengchou is still quite confident in his heart. And Sun Chuanting's talent is enough to make Hong Chengchou trust. Mao Wenlong did not make any more remarks after hearing this, and he no longer needed to pay too much attention to the affairs in the court.
As Hong Chengchou said before, Mao Jingwen can already be on his own, and the future government should also let Mao Jingwen, the emperor, worry about it. Only when Mao Jingwen really grows up, can the Ming Dynasty really usher in a prosperous era in the future.
It's easy to fight the country, it's difficult to defend the country, if you want the Ming Dynasty to last forever, it's even more difficult. And inheritance is the most important part of it, Mao Wenlong taught Mao Jingwen, a son, and he needs to rely on Mao Jingwen to teach the next emperor in the future. Only by passing it down from generation to generation and making no mistakes can it be possible to make the Ming Dynasty prosperous for a long time.
Mao Wenlong looked up at the sky, looking at the blue sky, his thoughts were already floating on the vast sea. It may be where he will fly, and the greater challenge awaits him.
