Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 572 After the shock, the family settles down!
"The old man thought he was just killing chickens to scare monkeys, but he didn't expect that he killed that monkey directly and uprooted the Zheng family. He killed at least a quarter of these Hanzhong families and Nanzheng squires, what a ruthless method. What a crazy heart!" In the backyard of the Tang Mansion, Mr. Tang was sighing, and a pair of cloudy eyes shot out a trace of inconceivable light.

"Father, he is so violent, isn't he afraid of causing public outrage?"

Tang Ying, the Patriarch of the Tang family, looked a little ugly.

This time, if the old man hadn't been in charge of the Tang family himself, suppressing his eagerness to move, he might have been one of the severed heads on Dongshikou.

Mujing's ruthlessness is especially terrifying, it is truly merciless, not even afraid of revenge, nor afraid of resistance from their aristocratic families.

"Bo Xu, you have to understand that this is not the time of prosperity. In today's world, there are soldiers who are kings. Now that Mujing has soldiers, as long as he grasps the reason, he dares to kill people. We are a family, and we have influence." Li, the scholars in Hanzhong listen to us, but if we die, if the Tang family is destroyed, how many people do you think will avenge us!" Mr. Tang said slowly.

"This one……"

Tang Ying looked a little pale.

"Back then, the Su family was in Hanzhong, where they could inherit the imperial court and keep the people safe. Didn't they just destroy the family when they were destroyed?" Mr. Tang sighed: "The times have changed, and our way of living has also changed. !"

"Are we going to surrender to him like this?" Tang Ying was not reconciled.

"if not?"

Mr. Tang gave him a squinting look: "Perhaps you want the same fate as my Tang family's Zheng family. With a body of flesh and blood, I stand in front of the Mu family's soldiers, seek my own death, and demonstrate the righteousness of the world..."

"Son dare not!"

Tang Ying trembled all over, Mu Jing dared to behead their Tang family after destroying the Zheng family, this person has absolutely no taboos and should not be provoked.

"When it's time to give in, we will give in!"

Mr. Tang said calmly: "200 years ago, during the Xinmang Rebellion, how many noble families who were honored by the prosperity of the Han Dynasty were destroyed, and how many common people's families jumped up and became like families. The world is impermanent, in your eyes , this is a disaster, in the eyes of the old man, it may not be an opportunity, a very good opportunity!"

"Opportunity?" Tang Ying narrowed her eyes, and there was a doubtful gleam in her eyes: "Father won't think that he, Mu Jing, can achieve great things!"

He cupped his hands and said: "Father, you can think clearly. The Mu family is a thief and is famous all over the world. This life is just struggling in the swamp. The world is unknown. The court of Chang'an is growing stronger and stronger. Yuan Shao, Yuan Benchu ​​swept all directions, and there is Yuan Shu and Yuan Highway sitting in Yuzhou, not to mention Jingzhou Liu Biao, after the Han Dynasty, but Yizhou, Liu Yan and Liu Shijun are also talented people, how can they tolerate a small thief , he, Mulongtu has soldiers today, taking advantage of the chaos in the world, he can still separate the land of Hanzhong, but if the four sides make a move, he will definitely lose!"

"The world is impermanent, how do you know that his Mujing can only submit to my Hanzhong, how do you know that he will lose in the future!"

Mr. Tang sneered: "We can't see so far. The old man only knows one thing. If we don't submit to him, tomorrow will be the day when the Tang family will be destroyed!"

When Tang Ying heard the words, she fell silent immediately.

This makes people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

"I heard that the prefect's mansion wants to enlist you as the magistrate of Nanzheng County?" Mr. Tang was well informed.

"There are rumors!"

Tang Yingdao: "During the turmoil of the people the night before, I followed my father's order and tried my best to stabilize the people's hearts for him. Later, Mu Jing found out that he was the governor's mansion and praised me, saying that I have the desire to calm the people. He wanted to enlist me as the county magistrate, but the real enlistment order has not come down, perhaps, he is just talking!"

"No!"

Mr. Tang said: "Mulongtu is the Marquis of Ming Dynasty, the master of one party, how can he speak casually in front of everyone, his words are his trust, he can kill Wushuang, but he must not break his trust in the world, so since he Having said that, it must be done!"

"Nanzheng county magistrate?" Tang Ying swallowed a mouthful of saliva. If she said she didn't want to, it would be a lie. Nanzheng is the county seat of Hanzhong, and Nanzheng county magistrate is the capital of Minghou's mansion. It won't be much worse.

"Although the old man knows that Marquis Ming will do what he says, we can't wait!"

Mr. Tang said: "Bo Xu, go to Minghou's Mansion yourself and recommend yourself!"

"Why?"

"To surrender, one must appear to surrender. He gave us face, and we have to give him face. Otherwise, he will still stare at us in the future. The Tang family can't stand Mu's tricks!" Mr. Tang pinched the bridge of his nose. , there was a trace of fatigue in his expression, he was not in good health, if Tang Ying could not take on the responsibility of the Tang family, he would not need to work so hard.

"Yes!"

Although Tang Ying was a little annoyed, he always obeyed Mr. Tang.

mansion.

In the courtyard, under a big tree, Mu Jing, dressed in white, kneels on a bamboo mat, drinking tea and having a heart-to-heart conversation with Xi Zhicai who is directly opposite.

"It seems that your killing at Dongshikou is still useful!" Xi Zhicai counted some recommendation letters in his hand, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "In less than two days, Nanzheng City wants to recommend an official. There are no fewer than 20 taxis, a rare good start!"

In today's era, if you want to take an official career, you must have someone to recommend. If you are not a great Confucian, you must be a great sage in the court, or the head of an influential family.

This is why the family has a strong influence.

Even if there are some children from poor families who have studied hard for more than ten years in Han Chuang and have achieved success in their studies, they can only be recommended by some famous Confucian scholars before they can make an official career.

How many scholars, hanging on their shoulders, have been studying for ten years, just to be able to stand out in one day, to become an official, and to be an official.

"Everyone has only one head, how many people can be afraid of immortality?"

Mu Jing sneered: "Don't think that scholars are fearless. Reading is wise, but you can't hold a sword, gun, sword, or stick!"

"Don't be too happy too early. Their surrender is only temporary. As long as these people meet the master they think is the wise one day, they will stab us in the stomach and back sooner or later!" Xi Zhicai curled his lips: " No wonder we were defeated in Luoyang back then, and were angered by those people in Chang'an. The name of shepherd has long been out of place among scholars, and it is too difficult to really recruit scholars to use for us!"

"That's not necessarily the case. There are good and bad reputations. I got a bad reputation. It's okay to say it's a bad thing, but it's not without benefits. At least I can be famous in the world. In the future, I still have a chance to win back a city. Wanbu said, I have to bear the name of a national thief, so what, even if we can't recruit, I can train myself!"

Mujing said domineeringly.

"It's easy to say!" Xi Zhicai sneered: "Do you know how much effort and time it takes to train a scholar?"

"Take it easy, it will get better!"

Mu Jing shrugged.

"What do you think about enlisting Tang Ying as Nanzheng County Magistrate?" Xi Zhicai asked.

"Security and balance!"

Mu Jing said indifferently: "Since we can't beat them to death with a stick, we have to give them a piece of candy. On the one hand, we need scholars to govern Hanzhong for us. After all, let a big character It was unrealistic for people who don’t know two people to govern a county. As for the second reason, I also need to balance Su Xin Yeru’s power, and using Tang Ying is the best choice!”

"You are very scheming!"

Xi Zhicai said with some annoyance: "But why are these memorials sent here?"

"In the Minghou Mansion, the three giants, Chang Shi, Master Secretary, and Sima, can take charge of the affairs. Now the Chang Shi and Master Book are not here, but Sima is here. It is not you who will handle it, who will handle it?"

"Depend on!"

Xi Zhicai was speechless, spit out an inelegant word in his heart, and then asked: "Is there no news from Nanyang yet? When will Hu Kongming and the others enter Hanzhong?"

If these people don't come again, he can't hold on anymore.
