Chapter 1615 Shocking changes, the end of the hero!six

In Yudu City in September, the autumn wind has begun to cool down a bit.

Mu Jing has been back to Daming Palace for several days. Standing on the top floor of Daming Palace, looking down at Yudu City, it seems that a storm is brewing in this city.

"His Majesty!"

It was Hu Zhao who pushed the door and walked in. He saluted respectfully.

Hu Zhao walked around, that is, inspected Xiangzhou and Nanzhou, and came back after a short walk. After all, he couldn't escape the turmoil in the court if he wanted to.

It doesn't mean that he can avoid this storm by hiding far away.

It turns out.

Whether it is Hu Zhao or Mu Jing, they are all thinking a little naively. The implementation of the New Deal will eventually encounter resistance and opposition.

Contradictions will be aroused, and once a problem is formed, the entire court cannot escape.

However, Hu Zhao has gained a lot in this round of walking. He may have a new feeling about the New Deal.

Living at the height of the temple, it is hard to imagine the suffering of the people.

Only by going there and seeing it for yourself, maybe you can feel more about what kind of life ordinary people live in the peace created by Ming Dynasty.

Of course, as the Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, his feelings cannot dictate his decisions. It is his responsibility to weigh gains and losses and balance the situation. Whether he wants to or not is not very important. After all, he is not Mujing, so he cannot be reckless and reckless.

Daming has a Mujing, which is already very troublesome. If he, the prime minister, is also in collusion with Mujing, then Daming will be in chaos.

It took a lot of effort to manage a peaceful Southwest. Whoever dares to make trouble in this place, causing chaos in the area and making the people unhappy, is his enemy.

Even this person, Mu Jing, is the same.

"Is the Zhaoming Pavilion meeting over?" Mu Jing didn't turn his head, with his hands on his back, as if he asked casually.

"It's over!"

Hu Zhaodao: "The minutes of the meeting have already been placed on your desk!"

This meeting was presided over by him personally, and it was aimed at solving some local problems caused by the New Deal recently.

Mu Jing did not participate in the meeting. As the emperor, he had the right not to participate in the meeting. Of course, the meeting minutes had to be read by him personally.

"Going down for a while, are you still opposed to the reform and reform and the implementation of the New Deal?" Mu Jing asked in a low voice.

"No objection, just wish to slow down!"

Hu Zhao said very directly: "Your Majesty may be right. If we don't change, the people will not change. If this continues, even if Da Ming dominates the world, it will only be like the dust of the previous dynasty. Da Ming should move forward. Not going backwards, but..."

Hu Zhao said bitterly: "The world has been in turmoil for many years, and it is rare for the people to have a healthy life. If because of the New Deal, they are once again caught in the heat, the so-called New Deal will not bring benefits, but burdens!"

"I understand what you mean!"

Mu Jing sighed: "How can the world be safe with the Law of Shuangquan, and it will not fail the Ming Dynasty, nor will it fail the common people?"

Daming and the common people should be viewed separately at this time.

What the people want is a peaceful life, because they have experienced the troubled times for too long, so once there is peace, they would rather live in poverty than make changes, because they are afraid that if they change, they will have nothing.

"Your Majesty, you must remember the lesson of Wang Xinzhi!"

Hu Zhao said exhortingly.

Wang Xin Dynasty, that is, the new dynasty established by Wang Mang at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Daxin Dynasty existed for a very short time, and not many people even remember it.

But Mujing still admires Wang Mang very much: "Wang Mang, Renjieer!"

It is a pity that Wang Mang, who was willing to make changes in the conservative era and wanted to consolidate the new dynasty through reforms, was finally killed by Liu Xiu, the son of destiny.

The defeat of the new dynasty, many people say, was due to reforms.

Wang Mang is a talented and capable person, and from a powerful minister to the founding monarch, he could have gone on smoothly, and it is also possible to be Zhao Kuangyin once.

But it was because of the reforms and the New Deal that the new dynasty fell into internal struggles between the elites of the old system and the party members of the new system before its foundation was firmly established.

The Red Eyebrow Green Forest Rebellion was not formed because of the political turmoil in the new dynasty.

In later generations, someone once made such a bold guess that Wang Mang is the representative of the time traveler. He was looking for changes to make the old era move towards the future. Killed.

Although this is just a joking statement, it has to be said that it is also a bold guess. Looking at the changes in the new dynasty, there is indeed a very peaceful and democratic style of agriculture.

Wang Mang may be an idealist who is too idealistic to be ideal.

Hu Zhao mentioned Wang Mang at this time, but it was meaningless. He just hoped that Mu Jing could learn a lesson based on the reforms of the new dynasty.

Don't let Daming become a flash in the pan.

In the territory of Ming Dynasty, even though Mujing has overthrown everything, the dignitaries of the old system are still everywhere, Jingxiang, Bashu, Nanzhong, Hanzhong, including Xiliang, there are no gentry and rich families in that place.

People in the family, inherited by blood, live in groups, this is a traditional custom that has been passed down from the tribal era, and it is carved in the bones and cannot be changed.

Therefore, aristocratic families, gentry and powerful families always put the interests of the family above the interests of the country. This is a kind of contradiction, a contradiction that cannot be deployed.

"But I am not Wang Mang!"

Mu Jing turned his head and stared at Hu Zhao, his voice was a little heavy, but firm as a mountain, the incomparable pride of the emperor was manifested at this time: "I am Mu Jing, the founding monarch of the Ming Dynasty, my Daming, It will never become a big new. I want to change the law, hoping to make people's lives better. I always believe that the reform is only a means, not an end, so I remind myself all the time, what I did wrong It’s still against me. In addition, I have one more method than Wang Mang. The world can be chaotic, the army can’t move, and political power emerges from the barrel of a gun. Ming Dynasty fought it out, not begged for it. They can oppose the New Deal, disagree with the reform, But whoever dares to oppose me, then I will dare to defeat them!"

This is Mu Jing's confidence, political power grows out of the barrel of a gun, this is what a great man said, and Mu Jing has always faithfully fulfilled this sentence.

His control over the army has never been weak. No matter what time it is, he maintains absolute control over the army. Only in this way can he stabilize the world.

"Your Majesty is certainly not Wang Mang, but the New Dynasty in the past is so similar to the Ming Dynasty today. No matter what, we have to learn some lessons from the defeat of the New Dynasty!"

Hu Zhao cupped his hands, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty, I absolutely support change. The people are indeed suffering. Only by changing can we have better living conditions, but I still think that at this time, we should be more careful and step forward." We can go slower, after all, we still have a long way to go, and everything cannot be accomplished overnight!"

"There are no outsiders here. You and my ministers don't need to beat around the bush. You have laid the groundwork for so long, so you must have something to say. To put it bluntly, what do you want?"

Mujing looked at Hu Zhao, and this guy's mood became more and more depressed. He tried several times to test him, but he didn't let him tell his purpose, but he couldn't calm down.

Hu Kongming is really a buried pearl. His reputation was not well known in history, but now he is on the stage of the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty because of the Ming Dynasty. He was a little tender when he first came out, but after all these years, with his With his experience in running the world, his ability to handle government affairs has become more and more sophisticated, and sometimes he can't even understand his own thoughts.

Mu Jing sometimes doubts why so many founding monarchs like to kill heroes, not because the heroes have different opinions, but because they can't control it.

Gradually, he felt that he was becoming less and less able to control Hu Zhao.

He originally hoped that Hu Zhao would avoid the New Deal this time. Hu Zhao could go down for a year or so, and it would take a lot of time for him to go to the territory of Ming Dynasty. By then, the New Deal would almost have a foundation.

But things backfired. After only one month, he was summoned back, and the choice he made in desperation was not in his calculations.

"The imperial examination system can be implemented, and the population can continue to be checked, but the new policy will come to an end for now. Farmers and doctors cannot be moved, and neither can the law, the army, or the industry!"

Hu Zhao said in a low voice: "We can't be aggressive. If we really push people back, although His Majesty is not afraid, Daming will be!"

When Mu Jing heard this, his eyes became a little gloomy, and his heart was full of anger. He still had a lot of systems to try to implement.

In terms of agriculture, from land clearing to agricultural taxation, they all follow the standards of the previous dynasty. This is also the foundation of many aristocratic families and gentry.

Once changes are made, there will inevitably be unrest.

In the development of medicine, the current medical department and the medical department are advancing hand in hand, but the promotion of medical treatment policies is imperative. The times are too backward, and medicine also appears to be backward.

This needs to change.

The military department and the Privy Council have begun to prepare for the promotion of the recruitment system. The previous mandatory conscription will inevitably be affected. In addition, the management of military registration and logistics and armament management also need to be changed.

The law is the law, which is very important. Mingke is constantly updating, but what should be changed still needs to be changed.

Industry is the Ministry of Industry. The development of technology is the beginning of the industrial revolution, and Mujing attaches great importance to it.

It has to be said that Hu Zhao definitely touched Mujing carefully, and even knew from which aspects Mujing started to promote the new policy.

So he is a lore when he comes up.

"If I don't move, they won't be in a mess?" Mu Jing calmed down and asked back.

"Your Majesty, take it easy, they can catch their breath. Didn't Your Majesty say that we need to control the heat to cook frogs in warm water, and Your Majesty is leaving too hastily now!"

Hu Zhao looked at Mujing and said fearlessly.

"Hu Kongming, since you have said so, if I remain firm, I am afraid that either you will jump directly from the Daming Palace, or I will cut off your head myself!" Mu Jing said with a sneer: "Okay, I will cut off your head this time!" I will listen to your advice, if you say stop, I will stop!"

Letting the bullets fly for a while is also a good suggestion. Although he is a little upset, Mu Jing is still rational. Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, and it takes a lot of heat.

Although Hu Zhao is strong, he is indeed doing Daming good and thinking for Daming, but he is himself. I have to say that the New Deal has made him a little anxious.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Hu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, he knew Mu Jing's character, the more he spoke, the more he said, but he didn't have too much grudges in his heart, but this time, he still overstepped his authority.

But there is no way, it's not that I want to be high-profile, nor is it that I want to disobey Mujing, the minister does not speak of the king's fault, but the king is as big as the world.

At this time, if I don't stand up, who would dare to stand up? Liu Jin is an example. Now Liu Jin has not found any chance to return to the mountain.

Cai Yong has almost controlled the Zhengshitang, even if Liu Jin comes out at this time, he may not still have the influence he had before.

One thought of heaven and one thought of hell. In many cases, the authority of the emperor is the atmosphere of the court.

"Go away, I don't want to see you recently, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you!" Mu Jing waved his hand, young people, you have to let yourself have some temper, good plans have basically been disrupted by Hu Zhao .

"Yes!"

Hu Zhao turned and left.

"Hu Kongming!" Mu Jing looked at his back. Although he knew that Hu Zhao was dedicated to serving the public, such a pattern was wrong. The existence of the imperial technique made him see the danger, and balance was the most important thing.

Can Cai Yong stand against him?

Hang!
Even if Cai Yong added Sima Hui, it would not be enough, and adding Kuai Liang would still not be enough. This made Mu Jing a little distressed, and he had to add some voices against Hu Zhao from the court.

Although Hu Zhaozhi's loyalty can be learned from the sun and the moon, as an emperor, he must guard against others. Even if he is absolutely loyal, there will be variables.

………………

Mu Jing was still looking at the meeting minutes of Zhaoming Pavilion. The meeting held by Hu Zhao this time was basically focused on discussing the New Deal.

"Your Majesty, Commander Zhao asks to see you!"

"Enter!"

Xin Zhao walked in, bowed and saluted, and then reported: "Your Majesty, Guandu battle report!"

"Read!"

"The Wu army captured Yanjin, the main force of the Zhou army was besieged, and Ju Yi's rebellion hijacked Yuan Shang to go north!" The news was very brief, but it told all the movements of the battlefield.

"When did this happen?"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes and asked in a low voice.

"Two days ago!"

"What a fast speed!" Mu Jing exclaimed, not only Wu Jun's speed, but also the cooperation of Cao Cao and Sun Ce.

These two princes are really not easy. The first time they cooperated, they could cooperate so well. Even if the cooperation was poor, it was impossible to form the current situation.

It can be seen from this that Wei Jun and Wu Jun must be in danger in the future. With their joint efforts, Ming Jun will definitely feel great pressure.

Yan Jun is not very important, there will be no such cooperation between Liu Bei and Cao Cao.

In the final analysis, Mu Jing felt that he still underestimated Sun Ce, and only gained if he gave up, and Sun Ce dared to give up, so there was the current situation.

"What's wrong with Ju Yi?"

Mu Jing asked.

"It's not clear yet, but it's certain that he doesn't have his own independent ability, so he must be the one to take refuge in, either King Wei or King Yan!"

Xin Zhao replied.

"It's all in the layout!"

Mu Jing smiled, not surprised at all, how could he not make a move in this game of chess in Hebei, it is time to reap.
