Xiao Ruxun's tone was very heavy, and Ye Mengxiong said it in his heart.

But Ye Mengxiong couldn't refute it, because it was a fact.

He himself was forced by the scholars and doctors of the Beijing Division to go to Nanjing to work as a secretary of the military department to escape the disaster, which he deeply felt.

Xiao Ruxun took advantage of the victory to pursue.

"Ye Gong, this killing of Shen has always been in line with the will of heaven for His Majesty, if today's time, place and people are all in us, why do we want to watch Your Majesty be deposed and treacherously run the government? Shen has always been able to be the first assistant now, who knows that what he thinks in his heart is not Cao Mengde or Sima Yi?

He dares to depose the emperor today, and if he dies tomorrow, he has no threat, and it is really hard to say whether the next day is still the world of the Ming Dynasty! Ye Gong is defending Wuchang, is he loyal to His Majesty or is he being loyal to him? ”

This sentence poked into Ye Mengxiong's heart, Ye Mengxiong doesn't like to be used as a gun, and he doesn't want everything he does to be used by wicked people, and now it is indeed as Xiao Ruxun said, if he is against Xiao Ruxun, he is defending Shen Cheng and defending this traitor who abolished the monarch.

Maybe it's ironic, but the military general in front of him is really defending the Ming Dynasty, and he really doesn't know what bad ideas His Excellency is hiding in the heart of the Shoufu who keeps saying that the world is orthodox.

Cao Mengde?

Sima Yi?

Wang Mang?

One name after another flashed through Ye Mengxiong's mind, and he suddenly found that if he continued to stand in front of Xiao Ruxun, he was simply digging the tomb of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor he swore allegiance to.

It's time to make a decision.

The scheming Shen has always been consistent, and the brave and loyal Xiao Ruxun is almost certain how to choose.

"Ji Xin, tell me, what will you do after you successfully kill the rebels in the Northern Expedition?"

Ye Mengxiong looked at Xiao Ruxun, extremely serious and serious.

Xiao Ruxun's answer was also extremely serious.

"Please restore Your Majesty, renew the unification, and recreate the world! Then, Your Majesty will naturally make a move, and our courtiers only need to obey orders. ”

Ye Mengxiong asked again: "What don't you want yourself?" ”

Xiao Ruxun shook his head: "I am already the Duke of Qin, my title is capped, and I am a very popular minister, what else can I want?" If you want to say it, it is to train millions of elite soldiers for the Ming Dynasty, the Northern Expedition to the grassland, remove the threat of the Northern Captives in one fell swoop, restore the glory of Hongwu, and show your ambitions, so that the people of the Central Plains will no longer be threatened by the Northern Captives! When the day of success, I will take my family back to Myanmar and continue to be my Zhennanhou. ”

"What should we do with the rest of the traitors?"

Ye Mengxiong asked again.

"When you consult with Your Majesty, the mastermind cannot stay, and the rest will be punished with demotion or exile according to the severity of the circumstances, and people must always be responsible for what they have done, and it is impossible to completely escape punishment!"

Xiao Ruxun replied.

"Well, that's very good."

Ye Mengxiong nodded, and then asked, "Do you still want the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to resume its original functions and take back the military power and hand it over to Your Majesty?" ”

Xiao Ruxun nodded.

"Of course, if that's the case now, why not? Civil administration, military attachés fighting, no distinction between high and low, only success or failure, civil affairs do not care about military affairs, military does not interfere in politics, I will do my best to help Your Majesty complete this matter! ”

Hearing this, Ye Mengxiong sighed.

"Whether what Yu Qian did back then was right or wrong, the old man can't tell the difference, but in this matter, the old man will not object to you, Shen has always gone too far, if you can't return the military power to Your Majesty this time, the rift between our courtiers and Your Majesty will not be able to be bridged, Ji Xin, at that time, you will need to mediate a lot from it."

Indeed, after this mutiny, Zhu Yijun will inevitably be unacceptable to the status quo of civilian officials holding military power, and it will be absolutely impossible for him to give up if he does not hold the military power in his hands, and he may even do other terrible things, so Ye Mengxiong also has such worries.

The situation of Zhu Yijun and Zhu Qizhen is not the same, Zhu Qizhen's situation is special, he was placed under house arrest by his younger brother, and it was up to the courtiers to regain the throne, but Zhu Yijun was deposed by the traitors, and his mentality was naturally different.

So, Xiao Ruxun said that he understood.

"Ye Gong rest assured, in this matter, I will definitely persuade Your Majesty not to overkill."

"I don't know what the result of this incident will be!"

Ye Mengxiong's tone suddenly became low: "But there is only one thing I can be sure of, Ji Xin, I didn't misread you." ”

With that, Ye Mengxiong stood up.

"Ji Xin, do you remember? When you and I were separated, you swore to me that you would never forget your ambition in this life and this life, and it is the responsibility of the husband to rise and fall, and I believe in you, so I once said that you will be the one who will help the world in the future, and now it has come true. ”

Ye Mengxiong picked up his wine glass: "This glass of wine, the old man respects you, respects you for your courage and loyalty, and respects you for not forgetting your original intention." ”

Xiao Ruxun hurriedly stood up and also picked up his wine glass: "Never dare to forget the oath!" ”

The two drank the glass together.

"Even so, Wuchang doesn't need to be vigilant, your rebel army, count me Ye Mengxiong as a share!"

Ye Mengxiong showed a kind smile.

Xiao Ruxun bowed to him deeply: "Ye Gong understands the righteousness, Ruxun is grateful!" ”

Ye Mengxiong helped Xiao Ruxun up.

"The old man wants to thank you, Ji Xin, without you, the old man really doesn't know what this big tomorrow will become, all in all, Ji Xin, you should lead the troops into Wuchang as soon as possible! How to act next, the old man listens to you. ”

Ye Mengxiong made up his mind.

The die is cast.

Xiao Ruxun breathed a sigh of relief.

Just looking at Ye Mengxiong's departing back, his eyes gradually became deeper.

He is not the same as before, at least it is certain that he is different from the person who said that the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the people outside the Beijing Division.

He didn't tell the truth to Ye Mengxiong, and he certainly didn't intend to tell the truth completely, for example, he concealed that he was carrying out land reform.

This is an act to completely destroy the foundation on which the Confucian gentry depend, and the probability of Ye Mengxiong's understanding is very low, so let alone Ye Mengxiong, even Yuan Huang and Mei Guozhen don't know that Xiao Ruxun secretly sent a land reform team to work.

In this matter, Xiao Ruxun isolated the news, isolated the news through Heishui, and was directly responsible for it, not allowing Yuan Huang and Mei Guozhen to have the opportunity to contact this matter, and even letting Heishui monitor Yuan Huang and Mei Guozhen, so that they could not know about this matter.

Xiao Ruxun was not sure to persuade the literati under his command to accept his approach, so he chose not to say that the land reform had not made a big deal at the moment, and he could still block the news from Yuan Huang and others for a period of time.

When the general trend of land reform has been achieved and they will not die, even if they know about it, there is nothing they can do.

At most, Xiao Ruxun will protect their hometown, but the land reform must be carried out and will never be interrupted.

Xiao Ruxun even thought about fighting for a period of time, delaying for a while, buying more time for land reform, and expanding to more places, at that time, even if Yuan Huang and they don't support it, they oppose it, what can they do?

After all, the army is in their own hands!

This is the most crucial thing!

Now that the overall situation has been decided, as long as Xie He is given a little time to grow, let them create a new basic plate for themselves, and cultivate a new team of civil officials, what else is there to worry about?

How civil servants should be selected, what content to learn, how to distribute work, etc., will it be the same as the current imperial examination system?

No, it shouldn't be, Xiao Ruxun won't be stupid enough to continue to carry out the imperial examination without changing so as to continue to cultivate a group of powerful gentry.

It is also imperative to abolish the privilege of the reader.

After deciding on land reform, Xiao Ruxun suddenly found that there were a lot of things in his political blueprint.

How can you be stopped by these people?

Although he felt a little guilty about Ye Mengxiong's behavior of trusting him so much, he ......

No one can stop me.

No one!

Xiao Ruxun turned and left.
