Three Kingdoms Mythology World.
Chapter 2461 Doubts
At present, the Great Wild Territory is still extremely short of talents who can serve as prefects and other positions. Moreover, the Great Wild Territory has not recruited many core talents recently because it is afraid of receiving spies.
Zheng Tai should not be an undercover agent of other princes. He can be recruited into the Great Wilderness Territory, and then arranged to be a prefect like Chen Yi and Gu Yong, cultivating the counties. Especially Youzhou, there is a great shortage of prefect talents.
In fact, Lin Mu had another plan in mind for him, which was to let him be the [Man Chong] of the Great Wilderness Territory, in charge of the justice and laws of the Great Wilderness Territory.
Since he was recruited by He Jin to assist in the court, he definitely has the ability.
"Sir, your resignation means the Han Dynasty will lose a great talent. It's sad and lamentable." Lin Mu also sighed.
"The role of ordinary people is minimal. The main role is played by General Wei. If General Wei can listen to Meng De's words and head south, there will be no major changes in the overall situation." Zheng Tai said dimly.
Lin Mu was shocked when he heard this. He was the driving force behind Cao Cao's letter to him.
"It turns out that sir, you have been working hard on important matters in the court." Lin Mu said with a smile.
"In fact, I know that what the court needs now is not fighting, but balance. We can have powerful ministers, but there cannot be an imbalance." Zheng Tai sighed again.
He and Lu Zhi often went to He Jin's mansion to participate in parties. In fact, they wanted to push He Jin to the position of powerful official.
"Sir, are you sure that I will lead my troops south?" Lin Mu asked softly.
From the beginning to the end, the officials in the court did not think that Lin Mu, the general who controlled great military power, could be a powerful official.
If the Great Wilderness Territory had not taken a different path under the leadership of Guo Jia and others, Lin Mu might have been pushed to the position of a powerful official. Lin Mu actually had the conditions to become a powerful official. However, the Great Wilderness Territory was not interested in this.
"General Wei's march south meets the eunuchs' expectations," Zheng Tai said meaningfully.
"The late emperor showed so much favor to General Wei, which actually led to the result today. The late emperor really thought long-term." Zheng Tai raised his head, looked up at the dim sky, and said with deep emotion.
Lin Mu curled his lips when he heard this. All this just didn't conflict with the interests of the Great Wilderness Territory, otherwise why would it be like this.
"Sir, you have great talent. The late emperor ordered me to take root in Youzhou to resist foreign invasions, pacify the border people, eliminate bandits, and stabilize the border. But the court does not want me to take root in Youzhou, so they brought in the governor of Youzhou, which has put various constraints on me. At present, there is a slight conflict between the two sides in the military and politics. I am short of talents under my command, and I am willing to appoint you as the governor of Youzhou to educate the area. Is that okay?" Lin Mu bowed meaningfully, looking eager to recruit talents.
Zheng Tai was surprised when he heard this. Lin Mu actually recruited him to be the governor of Youzhou?
Everyone tacitly agreed to Lin Mu's occupation of counties and prefectures on the border, otherwise how would the military funds come from? However, this was only done in private, and it could not be done openly. As long as it was not publicized, it was just a bitter and cold place on the border, so it would be fine to give it to Lin Mu. Even the Yuan family, who looked down on Lin Mu, did not exercise power in this regard.
After thinking for a moment, Zheng Tai bowed and said politely: "The court is treacherous and everyone wants to compete for the position of the powerful minister. Zheng is discouraged at the moment and has no intention of serving as an official."
Still rejected Lin Mu.
Lin Mu was not surprised by this, but continued, "Since your state of mind is damaged, I will not force you to do anything."
"Sir, you said that everyone is vying for the position of a powerful official. Why didn't you say that I would compete for that position?" Lin Mu asked doubtfully.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Tai smiled, shook his head and said nothing.
They actually had a good impression of Lin Mu. Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and others often praised Lin Mu and recognized his character and bravery. Although he rose to power as a eunuch, everything Lin Mu did truly strengthened the Han Dynasty and benefited the people of the world.
Although he held a high position, he was never unruly, nor did he keep vicious followers to cause harm to others. Instead, he did many good deeds among the people and accumulated a lot of reputation and prestige.
Lin Mu’s current status is largely due to his bravery, talent and opportunities.
"Forget it...I won't say any more, I won't say any more..."
"When you were the Minister of the Secretariat and the Imperial Censor, you were upright and incorruptible, and handled many extremely difficult and illegal matters. When you were assisting the Minister of the Secretariat, you also properly handled the affairs of the court many times. You were a capable minister who governed the country. It's a pity that Youzhou does not have this blessing." Lin Mu said with a look of regret.
"A capable minister who can govern the country... hehe..." Zheng Tai shook his head dejectedly and smiled bitterly when he heard this.
He even retreated in the face of danger, so how can he be a capable minister in governing the country?
"Sir, will there be major changes in the court?" Lin Mu asked in a low voice with a hint of meaning.
This great change was not caused by external courage, but by internal strife.
After Zheng Tai took a deep look at Lin Mu, he was very satisfied with his humble appearance, which matched the descriptions of Lu Zhi, Huangfu Song and others. He then said quietly, "I vaguely saw a trace of... blood on the lintel of the Yuan family!"
When Lin Mu heard this, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
The meaning of Zheng Tai's words was very clear, that is, the great aristocratic families headed by the Yuan family might have problems. And this really happened.
As a player, Lin Mu had experienced it, so he knew that the older generation of the Yuan family, as well as some of the Yuan family members who stayed in the capital, were all slaughtered by Dong Zhuo. After that, only Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu could carry the banner of the Yuan family.
Zheng Tai is a real talent! No wonder he and his family left the capital Luoyang.
"This guy may not be a legendary historical strategist, but he may be at an epic level!" Lin Mu pondered silently in his heart.
The fact that he could see the situation in Longting clearly, and the blood color covering the Yuan family, meant that he had extraordinary means.
This conversation made Lin Mu more determined to recruit Zheng Tai, and he was ready to get everyone to work together after returning.
"You retreat at the peak of your career. Sir, you not only have great talent, but also great determination. This general admires you." Lin Mu sighed.
With Zheng Tai's ability, if he can assist those who hold power, he will definitely hold a high official position in the future.
"He's just afraid of death..." Zheng Tai said with a sigh.
"Since you want to retire, I can recommend a place for you to rest for a while. You can go there to cultivate your character. How do you do that?"
"Oh? Yangzhou?" Zheng Tai asked puzzledly.
"No, Qingzhou Buqi Academy!" "Oh... Buqi Academy in Buqi Mountain?" Zheng Tai had certainly heard of the reputation of Buqi Academy. Currently, Xun Shuang, Cai Yong and other great scholars were all there.
Even in the court, some guys deliberately ridiculed Xun Shuang and Cai Yong, and ran to Buqi Mountain to retire.
"This place is also a good place." After pondering for a while, Zheng Tai accepted Lin Mu's suggestion.
"Once I'm settled, I'll go over and have a good discussion with you all." Zheng Tai said with a smile.
"That's great!" Lin Mu felt slightly happy.
If you go to Buqi Academy, you will have Xun Shuang, Cai Yong and other people there, plus Guo Jia, so they can't take you down? !
The sheep has fallen into the tiger's mouth!
"In that case, I will not delay your journey, sir." Lin Mu bowed gently and said goodbye to him.
After the two sides walked in opposite directions for a while, Huang Zhong whispered to Lin Mu: "Mr. Zheng Tai, why don't you take the teleportation array directly, but go through the north gate of the Shendu Luoyang?"
"Eh..." Lin Mu was slightly startled when he heard this. He was so focused on guiding Zheng Tai that he didn't notice this detail.
As far as he knew, Zheng Tai seemed to be a native of Sili, from Kaifeng City, Henan Yin.
"He didn't go through the South Gate, but came to the North Gate instead. Wow, he came here specially to wait for me!!!" Lin Mu suddenly realized.
Could it be that Zheng Tai saw through Lin Mu's cowardly tactics and strength, and was prepared to protect himself in the upcoming fight?
"Since he came here specially to meet the lord, why didn't he accept the lord's recruitment just now?" Dian Wei asked puzzledly.
"I don't know the details." Huang Zhong waved his hands helplessly.
"He's waiting!" Lin Mu turned around and looked at the convoy that had gone so far away that his backs could no longer be seen, and said lightly.
"Wait for the lord to take control of the court?" The two of them suddenly realized.
"He should have seen that I have ambitions, but he just kept them to himself." Lin Mu said softly. After thinking everything through, Lin Mu felt more relaxed. Zheng Tai had already been inclined to his camp, so the subsequent recruitment would be easier.
However, I’m afraid Zheng Tai is a staunch royalist… I have to test him.
Just when Lin Mu wanted to explain, a voice interrupted him.
"Lord Lin Mu!" Jiang Chenglong's voice came with a hint of surprise and familiarity.
Lin Mu turned around and saw Jiang Chenglong and a group of people walking towards him quickly.
Looking at the dusty group of people, Lin Mu joked, "Failed? Have money but no place to invest?"
"Oh... I was almost swallowed to the bone..." Jiang Chenglong said frustratedly.
The road of buying an official position at a high price is not so easy.
"You are leaving the city now, are you going to find Dong Zhuo?" Lin Mu asked meaningfully.
"Yes." Jiang Chenglong nodded.
Since the current ruler is unwilling to sell official positions, he will go to Dong Zhuo, the tyrant who will later rule the capital, to buy them.
After Dong Zhuo took control of Luoyang, he adopted various means to raise funds and consolidate his power, one of which was selling official positions. Jiang Chenglong's follow-up plan was correct. But it was difficult to buy high-ranking officials. Dong Zhuo did not sell the second- and third-rank officials wantonly. Even his subordinates, Niu Fu, Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, Fan Chou, etc., did not let them become high-ranking officials, and did not award military positions such as the Four Expeditions and Four Equalities. This may be because he could not award them and had no authority.
"Then I hope you get what you want." Lin Mu said with a smile.
"Because of the urgent schedule, I won't exchange pleasantries with you. I'll leave first." Jiang Chenglong was also a quick and efficient person. He left quickly after a few words.
Lin Mu smiled, and continued walking towards the Divine Capital with Huang Zhong and others.
After Jiang Chenglong and the others walked for a distance, they asked with envy, "Could it be that Lin Mu wants to intervene and fight for the position of a powerful official?"
The news that Lin Mu's army had arrived in the sacred city of Luoyang had basically spread.
With Lin Mu's current position, it is not impossible for him to interfere. If they had such conditions, they would have integrated the player group and occupied the court together.
"Hehe... the inertia of history is the power of the system, which Lin Mu cannot change." A sneer sounded.
He is in Jiang Chenglong's team.
"This time when he enters Luoyang, he might be dismissed from office and stripped of his title."
"Why, are you angry after Lin Mu's men wiped out the manpower on Yizhou Island?" Hearing this voice, Jiang Chenglong smiled and teased.
"Humph! Don't you want to enter Izu Island?" the voice sounded again.
"I want to get in, but the only chance has been given to your Mythology Research Institute. It's hard for us to get into Iju Island and get a share of the pie."
Wow, it turns out that the reason why the Mythology Research Institute was teleported to Iju Island again was because the national team was supporting it from behind.
"Humph! Aren't the test subjects you selected ready yet?"
"Not yet... Although there is a team of candidates, they also need to consider their relatives carefully." (End of this chapter)
