Hua Houwei smiled slightly: "Lord Mu, how do you drive nails into wood?" ”

"Your Highness, this is simple, right? Isn't it pointy? ”

"Yes, sand is not as load-bearing as the land, and the wheels sink into it like nails. Replacing it with a skid will not increase the surface area, and if it can't be sunken, it will save a lot of effort. ”

Mu Bin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said: "The heavy snow in Liaodong covers the mountains, and people often use sleds, it turns out that this is the truth!" ”

"That's not all! There are many swamps in the south, and if you put two planks on your feet, you won't sink in, and the same is true for pontoon bridges? ”

Mu Bin was stunned, and only sighed after a while: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your doubts." I can't imagine that there is a great reason between these square inches! ”

"Lord Mou, I know that you are erudite and talented, and you love Confucian classics. However, this world is so big that it is far from being able to be explained by a Confucian sage! My senior brother Wang Yangming, you know, right? ”

"Oh, Lord Wang, the minister knows. I heard that he is very smart, and there are many miracles, and he has been admitted to the Jinshi the year before last. ”

"Hehe, it's really fast, when my senior brother and I first met, he was still worried about Gezhu. Master Mu, the senior brother can also be regarded as a Confucian bachelor, and he has studied a lot of the words of the sage, but he is still troubled by bamboo. Therefore, the words of the saints are only the words of one family. ”

While the two were chatting, all the vehicles had been transformed. Hua Houwei gave an order, and a convoy of more than 500 people stepped into the yellow sand. The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is very large, and it is not yet in the middle of summer, and the climate is pleasant, which is the best season of the year. But on the first day of camping, Hua Houwei was still wrapped in a quilt and sighed: "Ahhh Hell place! It's really wearing a cotton jacket in the morning and yarn in the afternoon, and eating watermelon with a stove! ”

Wang Zhi and Mu Bin laughed, and Wang Zhi clapped his hands and praised: "Your Highness said well, eat watermelon with the stove, you really want to have a big watermelon, old Wang is enough!" ”

"Okay, now you have to eat it. Lao Wang, did you have any heat stroke today? ”

Wang Zhi frowned: "Yes!" A dozen of them! It's all about using Huoxiang Zhengqi water. Your Highness, how do you know about this medicine? ”

"Hehe, Shanxi is a good place, I can get a lot of good things back in the past few years! Have you ever heard of the turtle age set? Have you heard of Zhu Yeqing? Have you heard of Niu Huang Angong Pill? It's all good stuff! Lao Wang, Master Mu, when you go back to me, you will send a bunch of you alone, and you will all live a long life! ”

The three of them laughed, and Mu Bin suddenly said with a bitter face: "Your Highness, when there is no one in the future, you should call me Lao Mou." I always feel a layer away! ”

Hua Houwei smiled: "Lao Mou, I am also good for you." Although I am a prince, I am also a minister. We're getting closer, and my dad isn't happy! This thing is clear in my heart, oh, remember to write a letter in a moment, impeach me for perverting the law, starting a military affair, and imprisoning Mongol Jinong. The more detailed the writing, the better! ”

"Your Highness, Lao Mu is not the kind of person who relies on these small means!" Mu Bin was immediately anxious, he couldn't get used to such dirty methods of officialdom.

Wang Zhi smiled: "Lao Mou, you are also fateful, and you are now Your Majesty." Your Highness is right, you must be like this, otherwise, although your life is worry-free, this commander? But I can't keep it! ”

"Lao Wang is right! That's what I mean! Lao Mou, you are a rare decent person in the court, but the people in charge of the government do not look at your character, but look at the checks and balances of power. Although my father is a rare benevolent monarch, he is the emperor after all, so I can't help him. Alas, I'm his own son, didn't he say that he would ban me for five years? Officialdom has the rules of officialdom and cannot be capricious. There are too few loyalists in this world, because of what? Isn't it just that you can't adapt to the rules? Are you really so much a dumb king? Hua Houwei sighed a lot, as a working boy, he thought that he could have no taboos if he was born in the emperor's house, but he didn't think about it, but he was still suppressed by Hongzhi for five years. Why? Is it really for his own good, as Hongji said? Didn't he rise too fast and threaten Zhu Houzhao's position?

Mu Bin was stunned, and the storm and lightning flashed and thundered in his head! It turns out that there is no loyalty in this world at all, and there are no traitors, all of them are rules around the emperor!

Hua Houwei continued to enlighten Mu Bin: "Don't believe it? Hehe, Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang, who is right and who is wrong? Everyone in the world says that Adou can't help him, but if he really changes the monarch, Zhuge Liang can only rebel! In my opinion, there is no difference between Cao Cao and Zhuge Liang themselves, one is the father of Ya, and the other is the king of Wei who added Jiuxi, neither of them usurped the throne, but it was the actions of the descendants that determined the evaluation of the two. If Cao Pi had not usurped the throne, Cao Cao would have been Huo Guang, a great hero of the Zhongxing Han Dynasty! If Zhuge Zhan plots to usurp the throne, isn't Zhuge Liang also a traitor? ”

Mu Bin's mind was even more confused, and his previous rock-solid beliefs collapsed, and he only felt that the world was spinning, and he didn't know where he was. He said with difficulty: "Your Highness, what are you talking about with your ministers?" ”

Hua Houwei's expression was cold: "Put yourself in the right position, don't be swayed by literati." Your position is critical, do well, benefit the country and the people, do not do well, the building will fall! But whether it's good or not, it's not those literati who have the final say! ”

Wang Zhi sighed: "Alas! Lao Mou, His Royal Highness is all for the sake of Daming! Otherwise, how could he have been dormant for five years and come out again? Willing to take risks and go deep into the steppe desert? This is something that a prince who is destined to be locked up in a fief for a lifetime is willing to do? There is no way for good and evil, but people call themselves! Your Highness pities your integrity and wants to keep more talents for Daming, so he mentions you like this, don't think that Your Highness has any ideas! ”

Mu Bin smiled bitterly: "The minister understands!" Your Highness, most of your life has been in the words of saints, such as the golden rule. Suddenly, everything was overthrown, and the minister was very disturbed! ”

"Mu Bin, do you think I'm discussing with you? Wrong! I'm giving you a chance! Are you ready or not, in the eyes of others, important? Everyone is responsible for their words and actions, and you and I are the same! Hua Houwei's face was cold, and he reprimanded Mu Bin with a fierce voice.

Mu Bin raised his head and suddenly laughed: "Your Highness, Mu Bin is not such a heartless person. His Royal Highness deeply admires the heart of Daming's fist. But can you give me a little time? It's still early to return to Beijing, and I believe that along the way, the minister will definitely be able to figure it out. ”

Hua Houwei looked at Mu Bin, Mu Bin's eyes were clear, and his belief was unshakable. Hua Houwei sighed slightly: "It's up to you!" Character determines fate, Lao Mou, I am not optimistic about your career. ”

Mu Bin laughed: "If Mu Bin is such a person who tends to be inflammatory, how can he follow His Highness into this grassland?" Character determines fate? Yes, Your Highness, it really doesn't matter how old Mu Shi's career is, the minister is worthy of his heart! ”

"Worthy of your heart? Hahaha, Lao Mou, it would be nice if my master could be as free and easy as you! Everyone has different responsibilities, no matter how hard it is, I can't back down! Alas, worthy of the heart, or worthy of this life? Zhu Houwei, Zhu Houwei, do you have a choice? ”
