Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 178 Upside Up

early morning.

A round of red sun is rising slowly, the morning sun breaks the dawn, the sun shines on the earth, dispels the thick cold air, and thaws the heavy ice and snow.

in the palace.

The Son of Heaven was sleepless all night, wearing a leather jacket, sitting in the courtyard, quietly watching the sun rise slowly, and asked in a deep voice: "Father Shang, how is the situation outside the palace?"

Here in Luoyang City, there is really nothing that can keep his eyes and ears busy.

He can support the ten permanent attendants and give power to the public. Even if he is a dragon that is about to die now, he is still a dragon. The dragon guards his territory very strictly. A mere Luoyang City will not lose control .

But he chose to indulge.

Because he knew that his own time was running out, he didn't lose to anyone, he just lost to God, even if Zhang Rang kept killing the imperial doctor who diagnosed him, even if Zhang Rang didn't say anything, He knew very well in his heart that his body would not last for a few years.

"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with making the Yinjian, but the Sikong Mansion has been burned to ruins!"

Standing by the side, Zhang Rang replied respectfully: "There is also the Taiwei Yuan Kai, who was burned to death with only half his life left. If He Jin and his men hadn't arrived in time, he might have perished in the flames, but even so, Half of his body was burned, his appearance was completely destroyed, and now he is still angry and poisonous, and he has not yet come to his senses!"

"Ha ha!"

The emperor smiled, and the smile on the corner of his mouth had such a touch of sarcasm: "Yuan Zhouyang and Yuan Ciyang, two old foxes, have fought together in the court hall and suppressed me for most of my life. I have also fought with them for most of my life, but I still can't help them. Now they have suffered a big loss in the hands of a brat, it's very satisfying!"

He and Yuan Feng and Yuan Wei are also old rivals. These two brothers occupy the position of the three princes, control the government, command the nobles, and almost lift him up. There is a disagreement between them, because he is the representative of the imperial power. He is indeed the representative of the family, and he is the enemy in the first place.

He thought for a while and said, "But Mulongtu will suffer a lot!"

Burning Sikong's mansion and almost destroying Yuan Wei angered the entire scholarly community. After all, the reputation and status of the two above the scholarly community are not comparable to ordinary people. Even Lu Zhi and others would not be willing to do so. Those who saw Mujing trampling on the gentry raised their heads above the court.

"No!"

Zhang Rang shook his head and said, "The whole street was burned, including the Hou's Mansion of Xi'e Township and the General's Mansion!"

"Enough!"

The emperor's pupils changed color slightly, and he said after a while, "Father Shang, can you, Mulongtu, be used by me?"

"There is no one in the world that His Majesty cannot use!" Zhang Rang said.

"I think I can hold him down, but what about Bian'er and Xie'er?" The emperor sighed, now he is just a father paving the way for his son.

In the battle last night, the emperor saw Mu Jing's monster.

It also made him a little jealous of Mu Jing.

In his opinion, Mu Jing's mind is extraordinary, and his strategy in the city is not inferior to any adult, but compared to some old foxes, he still has some shortcomings, otherwise he would not fall into his own chess game.

He thought he could afford Mujing.

However, Mujing has one of the biggest advantages, he is young.

This is an advantage that the emperor never had.

"This one……"

Zhang Rang didn't dare to speak when he heard the words.

Whether it is Liu Bian or Liu Xie, I'm afraid they can't control Mu Jing. Liu Bian's character is a bit cowardly, and Liu Xie is still young. After any one of them ascends the throne, he can survive He Jin Yuanfeng and the others, but once used Mu Jing, Mu Jing must be a powerful minister.

One must know that Mu Jing is only fourteen years old, the same age as Liu Bian, if all goes well, he can kill everyone in the court, including his ten servants.

"You said that one day I really went, how about taking the Mulongtu away with me?" The emperor played with a piece of blood-red jade between his fingers, and his inadvertent voice was filled with Xiao Leng's murderous intent.

Zhang Rang didn't dare to speak another word.

"never mind!"

The Son of Heaven shook his head and gave up this idea: "They are still young, and they have to experience it themselves, and I can't calculate how far they will go in the future!"

This is the helplessness of the Son of Heaven, he can take Mu Jing away with an imperial decree, but his son is young, and after all, he can't stop those old foxes in the court. The scenery is the most suitable one for you to choose. There is Mushan behind Mujing, and Mushan holds the military power, which is the biggest deterrent.

"Your Majesty!" Zhang Rang breathed a sigh of relief.

The Son of Heaven stood up, looked up at the blue sky, and said in a deep voice: "Luoyang is Luoyang after all, let's end this chaos, I will pass on my order, the Northern Army will return to the camp, and Yuan Pang will be restored to his post and lead the army." Jinwu Tiqi, the whole city is under martial law, and any rioters who dare to take advantage of the chaos will be killed without mercy!"

"In addition, order the officials to return to the court today!"

"promise!"

Zhang Rang surrendered and took the order.

……

……

Printing supervisor.

In the main hall, Mu Jing looked at Zhang Huo, and said in a deep voice, "How is the injury?"

"Not very serious!"

Zhang Ning checked it himself, and said: "He was just shocked by the saber energy and injured his internal organs, but his cultivation base can still be suppressed. As long as he quietly cultivates for ten days, he should be able to recover. There was still some tail in the first injury, and now it is injured again, I am afraid it will leave the root cause of the disease in the future!"

"Uncle Huo, who hurt you?" Mu Jing asked in a deep voice at this time.

He calculated very well last night. If Zhang Huo and the others retreat quickly, they should not be injured. After all, the main force of the Sikong Mansion has been dispatched.

"He Jin!"

Zhang Huo struggled to sit up, his face was pale, and he said bitterly: "I underestimated him. After Zhang Jin was tuned out, I thought that the General's Mansion had no masters. I didn't expect He Jin's martial arts to be so terrifying. I was in his My subordinates can't move more than ten moves, but fortunately they reacted quickly, the fire in the General's Mansion burned earlier, otherwise I'm afraid it will be destroyed in the General's Mansion!"

"Didn't I say, try not to attack the General's Mansion!" Mu Jing frowned.

"I couldn't help it. After the fire in Sikong Mansion was burned, the General's Mansion dispatched Zhang Jin and others to put out the fire. I thought, maybe the General's Mansion will be a little empty, and I want to find out how deep the General's Mansion is." !"

Zhang Huo said with shame.

"The army has always been crouching tigers hiding dragons, the generals are in charge of the military power in the world, and the strong men under him are like clouds, how can it be so easy to find out!" Mu Jing shook his head.

"But I also burned half of his General's Mansion!"

Zhang Huo hates your Taoism very much.

"That's their carelessness. If they are a little prepared, I'm afraid none of you will be able to get out. Besides, even if you were lucky last night, you must have killed a lot of people in order to attack the General's Mansion!"

"Sir, Jing Ping lost nearly half of his soldiers!" Huo Shao knelt beside him and replied.

"It's a big loss!"

Mu Jing gritted his teeth and said.

"Master Supervisor, an imperial decree came out from the palace to summon all officials to court!"

At this time, the eunuch Xin Zhao hurriedly came from outside, bowed his hands and saluted, and then said.

"Recovery?" Mu Jing's expression darkened upon hearing this.

According to the rules, the imperial court is closed at the end of the year, at least until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there should be a few days before the imperial court, but I did not expect to return to the imperial court so soon. It seems that some things are not so simple, maybe people who play chess It wasn't him at all, nor Yuan Feng, but...

"Your Majesty personally ordered that the court be restored today!" Zhao Xin bowed and said, "Your Majesty also issued an imperial decree to restore Lord Yuan Pang's official position as Jin Wu, and ordered Jin Wu Ti to ride martial law throughout the city!"

"Huo Yu, take my official robe!"

"promise!"

With the personal help of Zhang Ning, Mu Jing put on the official robes of the seal-making supervision order, and then began to instruct everyone, saying: "Uncle Zhong, the Marquis Mansion of Xi'e Township has been burned, and now all my people are here Among the official offices that make seals, the official office depends on you here, although this matter should pass the rain, but you must not relax, the most fearful thing is to return the carbine!"

"Of order!" Huang Zhong nodded.

"Zhicai, you have to keep an eye on the Jingping Study. Last night, the news that the Yinjian was attacked by unknown people was released. It can be exaggerated. For example, tens of thousands of books were burned, and then our Jingping Study announced the purchase restriction method! "

Originally, the supply of books in Jingping's study was in short supply. They had the idea of ​​restricting purchases, but now there is a formal reason for restricting purchases.

"You want to arouse the voices of opposition against the Yuan family among the scholars!" Xi Zhicai was so wise that he had an insight into Mujing's intentions.

"I'm single and weak, so I have to rely on something!"

Mu Jing said: "The hearts of the people can help me!"

"Row!"

Xi Zhicai thought about it, agreed, and said, "I'll help you again!"

……

In the South Palace, hundreds of officials are mighty, after passing through the Meridian Gate, they can walk along the stone steps and enter the Shangchao Hall.

On the high stone steps, all officials line up.

"Why did you go to court today!"

"It's not what happened last night!"

"Didn't there be a fire last night?"

"You are stupid, the dignified Sikong mansion and the general's mansion caught fire at the same time, do you believe it?"

"Then what's going on?"

"I don't know either, but I'm afraid there must be a mystery in it!"

"I also heard one thing. I heard that the Seal Making Prison was attacked by unknown people last night!"

"Is it related to the Printing Supervisor?"

"Now it's a lot of fun!"

"I'm afraid His Majesty will be furious, everyone should be careful today!"

"..."

These officials walked up the stone steps while whispering in twos and threes. They were discussing what happened last night, and wanted to exchange information before going to court, and then give themselves a little confidence to deal with it.

"Xiaguan Mujing, pay homage to Lord Sikong!" Mujing walked at the back, and he saw that in front of him was Sikong Yuanfeng, who was the head of all the officials, with a slight sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he stepped forward to salute with a smile.

As a small official with a rank salary of only six hundred stones, it is only right for him to salute Lord Sikong with a rank salary of ten thousand stones and a gold seal and purple ribbon.

But now, his salute is more provocative.

"I don't know who it is, it turned out to be the seal-making supervision order, the son of the Marquis of Xi'e!"

Yuan Feng asked himself about the ups and downs of the officialdom for decades, and his energy-raising skills have already been superb, but in front of this little bastard, his skills are still broken. His eyes seemed to burst into flames: "The son was ruthless last night, but the son is so ignorant. Human life is cruel and ruthless, so you are not afraid of God's punishment!"

"I don't understand Lord Sikong's words!"

Hearing this, Mu Jing sighed with some compassion: "I heard that Zhengyang Street suddenly caught fire last night. The fire was so violent that it not only burned down my Xi'ehou Mansion, but also Sikong Mansion, and injured many people. It's boring, Luoyang's awareness of fire prevention is too lacking, fortunately I was in the government office last night to review government affairs overnight, and my people from Xi'ehou Mansion just happened not to be in the mansion, otherwise I'm afraid they would all die, this is luck!"
