Zhongping 5th year, November, 7th.

In the city of Luoyang.

The south of the palace in Nangong, on Zhengyang Street on the main road of the city.

Zhengyang Street is one of the vertical and horizontal avenues that run through Luoyang, runs through the south and north of the city, enters from Zhengyang Gate, and goes straight to the palace gate of the North Palace, which is the most magnificent street in the whole Luoyang City.

Because the mansions on both sides of this street are the residences of high-ranking officials and nobles, and the newly completed Xi'e Xianghou Mansion is also located on this street.

In front of the mansion, two stone lions are majestic and magnificent.

After walking in is a vermilion lacquer gate, the gate is very large, enough for dozens of days to enter side by side, there are two small partial doors on the left and right, after passing the door, it is the main courtyard, there are seven courtyards in and out of the left and right sides and the back side after the main courtyard, the houses here add up to about nearly a hundred, can accommodate nearly seven or eight hundred people, covering an area of nearly ten acres of land.

The strangest thing is the geographical location.

The arrangement of the Son of Heaven is incomprehensible.

This street itself is a rich street, the Eastern Han Dynasty has been established for nearly two hundred years, and it is not Liu Bu to be the king, but the title of the noble lord can not be accommodated in Luoyang City, and most of the nobles are on this street, and they can pull out a mansion at will either a marquis or a duke.

But in the West Hubei Township Marquis is a township marquis, which in the Han Dynasty, it should be a very noble title, Han Jue 20 and so on, the prince and duke can only be crowned the prince, and after the prince, it is the marquis, the marquis is divided into two kinds of marquis, the marquis of Guannei, the marquis of Guannei only has the position of marquis, and there is no reward of the fiefdom, and the marquis is the heaviest title in the Han Dynasty, the marquis has three ranks, the county marquis, the township marquis, and the pavilion marquis.

Mushan is the township marquis of Xi'e.

Ranked as a second-class marquis, it stands to reason that it should be the best among the mansions on the west side of Zhengyang Street, but this marquis mansion stands on the east side, and the east side is basically a high-ranking official's mansion.

On the left is a Sikong Mansion, on the right is a Situ Mansion, not far away is the General's Mansion, and when you walk is the Shangshu Mansion

This arrangement makes people shudder.

You must know that they are all tigers and wolves, and the Son of Heaven is simply going to send the small body of Mu Jing into the tiger's mouth and wolf's den.

However, the wood has been completed, and Mujing has no way to shirk it.

Given by the Son of Heaven, he can't retreat, even if he is very unhappy, and even feels unbearable, he has to grit his teeth and bear it in the end, thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, although he chose the path of surrendering to the court, he will go to the end.

"What a majestic mansion!"

"What a big courtyard!"

One by one, the soldiers walked into this mansion, as if some turtles entered the city, and the courtyard in the capital was different, which made them breathtaking.

"Who would have thought that we could also live in such a mansion in the capital!"

Zhao Ping stationed on crutches and entered, and couldn't help but let out a sigh.

They used to follow Qu Shuai Mushan, fell into the grass for the coward, just trying to survive, often have a meal, no meal, and really never thought that one day they would also become nobles and live in a mansion.

"It's a pity for Lei Gong!"

He misses his old brother a little: "He used to say that he would live in the most luxurious mansion and marry the most beautiful girl with the sword in his hand and the sword in his hand, but he has never seen the current situation!" ”

"We've finally gained a foothold in Luoyang City!"

Mu Jing was dressed in a white robe, standing tall, standing above the door, looking up, looking at the plaque of the Marquis Mansion of the West Crocodile Township, and his heart sank down.

In order to get to this point, he has taken great pains.

How many tribulations have he gone through in the middle, not counting the great battle in Runan, born and died, nine deaths and one life, just in this Luoyang City, he has almost died and survived several times, and his hard work was not in vain.

With this background, in the future, their father and son of the herdsman family will be completely separated from their former identity as rogues.

In the era of the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

They came in.

"The Divine Decree has arrived!"

At this time, the holy decree came to the palace.

"Minister, Mujing, welcome Your Majesty's will!" Mu Jing turned around, knelt down, and put his hands over his head to receive the holy decree.

"Greetings to Your Majesty's will!"

The people behind Mu Jing all knelt down and followed the customs, even Zhang Ning didn't dare to pose at this moment, after all, this is Luoyang City, this is Kyoto, how disrespectful they are to His Majesty today, no matter how disgusted they are with the court of the Han Dynasty, they will not put their lives on the score.

"Shizi, Your Majesty only showed you this holy decree, and the old slave won't read it!"

This time, it was Zhang Rang who came to announce the decree.

This is the boss of the ten permanent servants, and it is not a simple matter to let him personally announce the decree, which also makes Mu Jing's heart sink slightly.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Mu Jing received the holy decree with both hands.

"Shizi!"

Zhang Rang called Mujing the son of the world, because he is the only son of Mushan, this Xi'e Township Marquis Mansion will be passed on to him sooner or later, he is naturally the son, Zhang Rang said: "Your Majesty also asked me to send a hundred fine Shuchuan splendid horses, fifty horses in the north, a set of palace furniture, ten sets of long crossbows, fifty sets of bows and arrows, in order to congratulate the prince on entering the palace!" ”

"Minister, thank you for Your Majesty's Longen!"

Mu Jing's heart trembled, and he bowed down to receive the favor.

"Your Majesty treats him so kindly, the prince will have to do a good job for His Majesty in the future!" Zhang Rang said with a smile.

"It must be so!"

Mu Jing said resignedly.

"Then the old slave will return to the palace to restore His Majesty!"

"Zhongheng, send Lord Zhang Changshi!"

"No!"

Huo Yu hurriedly stepped forward, took out a small wooden box in his hand, and quietly handed it over.

These eunuchs are just vampires, and they can't do it if they don't give it.

"Hey, hey, go on the road!"

Zhang Rang's eyes became softer and softer as he looked at Mu Jing.

Since ancient times, it was difficult for eunuchs to enter the hall of elegance, their hearts were distorted, and they could only enrich their thoughts with money, so since ancient times, eunuchs have been greedy.

After sending Zhang Rang away, everyone entered the house, and some of the things sent from the palace were introduced into the house for placement, and everyone began to get busy.

Zhang Ning watched Mu Jing standing on the side of the corridor, pondering the holy decree, and then greeted him.

"What does this decree say?"

"See for yourself!"

Mu Jing has nothing to say about Zhang Ning.

"This day the Son of Heaven really expects too much from you!" Zhang Ning said with a smile.

Monitor Sikong Province.

Monitor the General's Palace.

It is no wonder that the Marquis Mansion of Xi'e Township was established in this location.

It's a good errand.

"He was sick and rushed to the doctor!"

Mu Jing squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "It is estimated that he knows that his limit is not far away, and he wants to disintegrate the general's military power within this limited time, sweep out the threat of the Yuan clan, and leave a peaceful court for the new emperor to succeed to the throne!" ”

According to history, the Son of Heaven does not have a few months left, and as soon as he dies, the world will inevitably be chaotic, and he should also know that he can't bear it for long, so he is ready to come to a big cleaning before he dies.

Clear the way for the succession of the new Son of Heaven.

But where is it so easy?

"The Son of Heaven is dying?" When Zhang Ning heard this, his moon eyes were shining.

Her father, the first thief in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the biggest enemy in this life is probably today, if the Son of Heaven dies, she is very happy, at least she can comfort her father's spirit in the sky.

"I don't want him to die so early!"

In front of Zhang Ning, he didn't have to speak cautiously: "Now my father has not gained a firm foothold in Nanyang, and if he wants to gain a firm foothold, command various counties, train elite soldiers and horses, and have the strength of independent princes, it will take at least a few years, if the Son of Heaven dies now, the world will be chaotic, how can we have time to precipitate!" ”

"Why don't I help him!"

Zhang Ning is very confident in her medical skills, she doesn't pay attention to any of the imperial doctors in the palace, and the terminally ill person may not be able to be saved, but she still has a way to prolong her life: "My father passed on some Taiping secret methods to me, which can stimulate people's potential power and let him live longer!" ”

"No way!"

Mu Jing immediately shook his head: "You can't be exposed, your identity is a dead hole, exposing this Luoyang City will turn the sky upside down, I am already the center of the Luoyang storm, many people's eyes are staring at me, as long as you show your head a little bit, the bottom will be checked upside down, and no one will be able to save you at that time!" ”

"Childe, Taixue sent a congratulatory gift!"

Huo Yu walked in from outside, holding a box in his hand, and said.

"Too learned?"

Mu Jing was a little surprised, since he entered the West Garden, after being branded as a eunuch, the people of Shilin basically would not interact with him, even the simplest greetings were almost non-existent.

He opened the wooden box, and there was a book inside.

Analects!

He opened the book, there are many annotations on it, this elegant font he knows, is Cai Yong's flying white font, a unique font, even if others want to imitate, it is difficult to imitate its essence of artistic conception.

"Cai Yong is Cai Yong, the great Confucian of the world, with a broad heart, which is rare in the world!"

Mu Jing sighed.

The Analects are the beginning of the reader, and after the study, the first reading is the Analects.

Cai Yong did not abandon him because of the name of the eunuch party he branded, but as always, he regarded him as the teenager who dared to break into Taixue and negotiate with him, which was also to remind him that no matter what kind of name he carried, the most important thing in being a man is not to forget his original intention.

Not far from the gate of the Hou Mansion of Xi'e Township.

Sikong Province.

In the mansion, in a courtyard, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao sat and drank opposite each other.

"Mu monkey and crown, a thief is a thief after all, and he can never become a nobleman of the court!"

Yuan Shao listened to the frolicking sound next door, his expression was slightly cold, and he drank the wine cup in his hand.

"Brother Benchu doesn't have to be annoyed!"

Cao Cao smiled indifferently: "They want to enter the house, it's not so simple!" ”

Now they are not the princes of the opposite side of life and death in the future, but friends with the same aspirations, they both have the ambition of assisting the generals, stabilizing the court, and serving the Son of Heaven, and they have been friends for more than ten years.

"It's a pity Nanyang!"

Yuan Shao said in a deep voice: "Since then, I'm afraid it has become the nest of the Yellow Turban!" ”

"Brother Ru is to blame for this!" Cao Cao sneered: "If it weren't for his insistence on indulgence and too strong self-confidence, how could there be the rise of Mushan!" ”

"Although Yuan Highway is talented, he is short-sighted!" Yuan Shao shook his head: "I can't persuade him, my uncle and uncle also trust him now, maybe he cares more about the interests of the wealthy family, some time ago, I had a disagreement with him, and my uncle has intended to exile me to Hebei, just afraid of the power of the general!" ”

"The talent of the first brother is far above it, and Lord Sikong will not be so short-sighted!"

Cao Cao frowned.

"The family gatekeeper, between the concubines, even if it is an uncle, it is inevitable that he will be vulgar!"

Yuan Shao said indignantly.

That's his father, but after all, he is biased towards Yuan Shu, he is just a usable and disposable chess piece, and he messed up Mu Jing's affairs, which made Yuan Feng despise him a little.
