The first month, the third day of the first month.

The atmosphere of the New Year is still in the midst of the joyful environment in which the whole Jiangzhou City is shrouded, with red lanterns hanging everywhere, a piece of prosperity, representing the peace and joy of Yizhou this year.

Minghou Mansion, the inner house of the mansion, above the lake, among the pavilions, a square table, four people sitting cross-legged, headed by Mu Jing, Mu Jing very carefully touched a card: "Seven cylinders!" ”

The siege battle is a relatively advanced entertainment in Yizhou today.

The officials of the Ming Marquis Mansion were particularly prevalent.

"Bang!"

Xi Zhicai did not hesitate to make a move, and then played a card: "Six!" ”

"Forty thousand!"

Hu Zhao Shi Ran's card.

"East!"

Liu Jin is the most stable, touching a card, at least considering the time of thirty breaths, before the card is played.

"I'm sorry, huh, thirteen!"

Mu Jing's bright eyes became hot, and he directly spread his hand: "Give money, one hundred yuan per person, and don't accept the IOU!" ”

Because Zhaoming Pavilion will hold the first political participation meeting, so these people can be successfully assembled, Huang Zhong rushed back to Jiangzhou on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Xi Zhicai returned by boat on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Now Cai Yong is left before he arrives, but it is estimated that it has been a matter of the past few days.

"Lord, are you embarrassed?"

Xi Zhicai raised his head, looked at Mu Jing, his eyes showed a very unhappy light, and said, "You must eat all of our money!" ”

Every time I play mahjong with Mu Jing, it is a very unpleasant thing.

Because Mujing's luck is too strong.

Even if you know how to count cards, it's useless, unless you also know how to change cards, they are Wenchen, but they are not so fast-eyed, so every time they lose to Mu Jing, play a morning, and spit out thousands of gold to him

"In the besieged city, there is no distinction between high and low lords, only winning and losing, willing to gamble and lose!"

Mu Jing finally came to run from time to time, and said very stubbornly.

On the battlefield of the siege, he has a nemesis, in previous years, he was just a loser, one gold and one gold, and the small treasury was lost, but this year, fortunately, that nemesis has not returned, and he can kill all sides.

Compared with Cai Yong's nemesis, Xi Zhicai and these people, in terms of luck, are 108,000 miles worse than him, and they can win against them with their eyes closed.

"Lord, can I not come to pay New Year's greetings in the future!" Hu Zhao sighed and said: "The old minister still has to support his family, this is the end of the year, if you let you eat, I'm sorry for my wife and children!" ”

"Nonsense!" Mu Jing scolded and said: "This New Year's greeting is a tradition, and it must be every year, otherwise be careful that a certain family will give you small shoes to wear, a certain family is stingy!" ”

If you don't come, where will I find change to spend?

Recently, the financial power was handed over to Cai Yan, and the man is still a little tragic, so he can only take advantage of the New Year's festival to fill the small treasury little by little.

"Shameless!"

Liu Jin said indignantly.

The four of them and Mu Jing fought fiercely on the siege, basically losing more and winning less, to say that their ability to count cards is much better than Mu Jing, but on the contrary, this siege battle, depending on luck.

It's like Mu Jing can't do Cai Yong.

They can't do it either.

So Mu Jing doesn't find a sense of superiority from them, where to find a sense of superiority.

"The two of them are breadwinners, I believe, Xi Zhicai, where did you come from, where did you come from, where did you come from!"

Mu Jing looked at Xi Zhicai: "Zhicai, your boss is not small, if you are not filial, you should start a family!" ”

"Lord, my body, you also know very well, although it is almost good, but compared to ordinary people, it is still a little weak, when I was young, many people said more, I am the fate of the untimely death, why bother others!"

Xi Zhicai was silent for a while, now he is in a high position in the Minghou Mansion, to say that no one is willing to marry his daughter to him, it is impossible, but he has always remained single, but he has two concubines, but it is always a pity that he has not established a family for a long time.

"Roll the calves!"

Mu Jing scolded: "Life and death have come over, and you are still afraid of life, even if you really die, you should leave a queen for the dramatist, otherwise I am afraid that you will go to Jiuquan in the future and have no shame to see your parents!" ”

Xi Zhicai's parents died early, the fate of the poor family, step by step to get to today, it is not easy, as the lord, Mu Jing rarely cares about his private life, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't care.

Mujing respects everyone's way of life.

But it won't give them too many opportunities to be afraid.

"That's it!"

Mu Jing made a direct decision: "Tomorrow I will let Mrs. Hu talk to Mrs. Hu, and see the virtuous and virtuous lady of the Yizhou family, since you don't want to, then don't blame me for using the power of the lord, I will give you time, but within this year, you must marry!" ”

"Lord!"

Xi Zhicai smiled a little bitterly, this is too difficult for a strong man.

"This matter has been decided, Kong Ming, what do you think?"

"I think, but!"

Hu Zhao nodded.

"Lord!"

At this time, Jin Jiu, the captain of the Shenwei Battalion, walked in from the outside quickly, whispered in Mu Jing's ear, and said: "Cai Dudu has passed the Ten Mile Pavilion, and in less than an hour, he will enter Jiangzhou City!" ”

"So fast?"

Mu Jing frowned, he was refreshed, this big nemesis was coming back, wasn't it a disappointment.

"Governor Cai is back?"

All three looked a little surprised.

"That's all for today!" Mu Jing is very sorry to end his leisurely life, in the past few days of the New Year, it is already good to be comfortable until the third year of junior high school, people must know how to cherish blessings, otherwise it will be very troublesome.

"Kong Ming!"

"Lord!"

"On behalf of you, go and greet Old Man Cai!" Mu Jing scratched his head: "I'm afraid that if I go, I will ruin his good mood for the New Year!" ”

"My lord, Governor Cai is willing to come back and participate in the Zhaoming Pavilion meeting, does it mean that he has given up the imperial court?" Liu Jin said cautiously.

"Things can't be seen that way!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "Cai Yong may not give up the court in his life, his willingness to participate in politics does not mean that he is willing to become a member of the Minghou Mansion, he is not a person who does not know how to be flexible, but his principle is too strong, that is to say, even if he accepts all his current positions, it is just forced by the situation!" ”

"Then will he secretly agree with the imperial court, now the situation in Chang'an is too chaotic, if he is involved, our Yizhou will inevitably fall into a passivity!" Xi Zhicai was more worried.

"I'll make people stare at him!" Mu Jing squinted: "I won't give him any chance!" ”

"Forget it!"

Mu Jing stood up: "Or I'll keep an eye on him personally, I'll go to the door with Zhao Ji later, and go to Cai's Mansion to wait, lest this old man pick on the etiquette!" ”

………………

"This Jiangzhou City is really changing with each passing day, and it is changing so fast!" Cai Yong lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked around, he saw a lot with a pair of cloudy eyes.

The time he left was not long, but the changes here made him feel a little.

"Living and working in peace and contentment, maybe it's that simple!"

He is not blind, and the smile on the face of the good people who naturally sees it is the kind that comes from the heart, and if it is difficult in life, it is a smile that cannot be laughed.

"Teacher, are we going to the post station, or are we going back to Cai's mansion!" The driver was a young man, one of Cai Yong's students.

"Go back to Cai's Mansion first!" Cai Yong thought for a while and said, "If Zhao Ji gets the news, she will be waiting in Cai's mansion!" ”

He is in Jiangzhou City and has his own mansion.

"No!"

The young man nodded and drove towards Cai's mansion.

As soon as they returned to the door of Cai's mansion, the housekeeper of Cai's mansion and his subordinates greeted him, and the housekeeper burst into tears: "Master, you're back!" ”

"Hmm!"

Cai Yong stepped out of the carriage.

Stomp !!

Suddenly, a fast horse galloped quickly from a distance, a young knight rushed with an aura, reined in front of Cai's mansion, jumped off the horse suddenly, and after giving a salute, he arched his hand and said: "Governor Cai, the lord has an order, ordering you to immediately Zhaoming Pavilion, there are important matters to discuss!" ”

"Now?"

Cai Yong was a little surprised.

"Yes, now!"

"Okay!"

Cai Yong took a deep breath, he knew the character of that son-in-law, if it wasn't for a big event that shocked the world, he should have taken Zhaoji to wait in Cai's Mansion at this time, instead of ordering himself to go to Zhaoming Pavilion at this time.

………………

In the evening, the sky will set, and the afterglow of the remnant sun reflects the peace and harmony of Jiangzhou City.

Mu Jing originally went to Cai's Mansion with Cai Yan by the way, although Old Man Cai has never been too friendly to him, but no matter how he says, he is his son-in-law, on this New Year's Day, he finally rushed back from Nanzhong, and his son-in-law had to come to the door.

But a temporary news made him quickly rush back to Zhaoming Pavilion, and temporarily brought back one minister after another to discuss things, and even sent someone to invite Cai Yong, who was not close to people and did not give him time to rest, so that he could arrive immediately.

Soon it was night, and Jiangzhou City after dark did not seem to be silent, and the sound of laughter was still there.

At this time, the Minghou Mansion seemed a little quiet.

Starting from the end of the year, the six days of rest, in addition to the officials on duty, basically until the sixth day of the new year, the officials and clerks of the various ministries will start to work, which naturally seems to be the quiet of the officials of the various Cao departments of the Minghou Mansion.

However, Zhaoming Pavilion is brightly lit.

The ministers of the first session of the Zhaoming Pavilion have also been gathered, and the first meeting is also being held in advance.

An oval-shaped table, headed by a pastoral scene.

The first seat on the side is Hu Zhao,

The second seat is Liu Jin, and the third seat is Qin Song.

The first seat on the right is Xi Zhicai, and the second seat is Huang Zhong.

The seat opposite Mujing is Cai Yong.

At present, the Zhaoming Pavilion, including the lord Mujing, has a total of seven ministers of political affairs.

In addition to the seven people at the main table, there were only a few record scribes left, one was Huo Yu, the other was Zhuge Xuan, the two of them sat on a table with a pen and a right, concentrating on recording the meeting.

In addition to these people, the Zhaoming Pavilion has a radius of fifty meters, and they have all been given martial law by the Divine Guards.

The center of the Minghou Mansion represented by the Zhaoming Pavilion, every meeting is top secret, and it will be related to the operation of the entire Yizhou, so be careful not to be sloppy.

"Everyone, I'm sorry!"

Mu Jing raised his head, swept over a few faces, and said softly: "Originally, I was going to wait until after the sixth day of the junior high school, when everyone is rested, and then I will hold a political participation meeting, but I have a big matter of opinion today, and I need your opinions, so I will take this opportunity to directly convene our political participation meeting, forgive me!" ”

"What?"

Xi Zhicai had some abruptness in his heart, it was not a big deal, Mu Jing might not have such an action, it was inevitable that Cai Yong only arrived in Jiangzhou City today, and he didn't even have time to catch his breath, which was too unkind.

"Zhuge !"

"In!"

"Send the news sent back by Jingwu Division to all the ministers of political affairs!"

"Yes!"

Zhuge stood up, divided the same copy, into six parts, and handed it to each of the ministers participating in the government, and then returned to his position and continued to record the meeting.

"In the eighth year of the first peace, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Xiliang army was in the Tiger Prison!"

When Mu Jing was reading the news of the dossier, he opened his mouth and said: "Li Yu, the general of Xiliang, more than 100 men of the Huangfu family, negotiated with Huangfu Song under the city tower, Huangfu Song refused to surrender, and Li Yu wielded a knife to kill!" ”

"Kill one in an hour!"

"It's the third day of the Lunar New Year, and I estimate that I've already killed a third!"

Mu Jing sighed: "Now, I guess that Huangfu Song's unyielding has made this matter out of control, the news provided by Jing Wusi's secret line, this time, Xiliang not only arrested the men of the Huangfu family, but also arrested a lot of family members of the Guanzhong army, if it is really under the Tiger Prison, killing a river of blood, I'm afraid it will ......."

He squinted slightly, and there was a bloodshot look in his eyes.

When the whole news just arrived, he was also extremely angry, angry that this Xiliang would do whatever it takes.

This Xiliang's methods, some of them have broken through the bottom line, and the disaster will not affect the family, this is not just talking, once the bottom line is broken, the competition in the whole world will become more bloody.

"The Huangfu family has had very few men over the years, this is to destroy the family!"

Hu Zhao patted the desk and said coldly: "Dong Zhongying dares to give such orders, he is not a son of man!" ”

"How can they bear to persecute a court loyal and good in this way!"

Liu Jin also became pale, and said quietly.

"Li Yu deserves to die, Dong thief deserves to die, the group of dog thieves in Xiliang deserve to die, erect the imperial court, oppress the world, and now they are still using such means to force the army of King Qin to retreat, they are unscrupulous, they must be slaughtered and destroyed, in order to be able to correct the way of the world!"

To say that the most angry is definitely Cai Yong, Cai Yong's temperament is full of anger, angry, every word, killing intent is shocking, it can be imagined that a Confucian and Taoist sage who has been cultivating for many years can make such a killing speech.

"The matter has come to this, no matter what we think about this matter, it is a little beyond the reach of the whip, and now, what we should consider is, we Yizhou, has it changed!"

Mu Jing said calmly.

"Of course it changes!" Cai Yong got up with the case, stared at Mu Jing with a pair of eyes, and said coldly: "Ming Hou, don't forget, you are the Ming Marquis of the imperial court, and now the thieves are stealing power and persecuting Zhongliang in such a situation, if you hold Yizhou, the lord of the marquis, but there is no change at all, how can you meet the expectations of all the people in the world!" ”

Although Cai Yong's position was directly poured into the imperial court.

But that's right.

Even Xi Zhicai and others, who are interested in the Minghou Mansion, have become a little silent, should they not move at this time, not only have to consider Yizhou, but also have to consider the influence of the Minghou Mansion in the whole world.

"Kong Ming, what about your opinion?" Mu Jing was silent for a moment and said softly.

He respects Huangfu Song.

can still bear it at this juncture.

But the interests of Yizhou are always the first thing he considers, and the rest, even if his personal admiration for Huangfu Song is like the god of the Nine Heavens, it can't affect his mood when he makes a decision.
