Chapter 847 Nobody Can Stop Me

Xiao Ruxun's tone was heavy, and Ye Mengxiong's heart was pounding when he said it.

But Ye Mengxiong couldn't refute it, because it was a fact.

He himself was forced by the scholar-bureaucrats of the capital to go to Nanjing to serve as Minister of the Ministry of War to avoid disasters, and he was deeply touched by this.

Xiao Ruxun took advantage of the victory and pursued.

"Ye Gong, it is God's will to kill Shen Yiguan and restore His Majesty. Now that the time, place and people are with us, why should we watch His Majesty be deposed and a traitor take charge of the government? Shen Yiguan can still be the chief assistant now. , who knows that what he thinks in his heart is not Cao Mengde or Sima Yi?
He dared to dethrone the emperor today, and if Ruxun died tomorrow, he would no longer be a threat, and it would be hard to say whether it would be Da Ming's world or not tomorrow!Ye Gong sticks to Wuchang, is he loyal to His Majesty or Shen Yiguan? "

This sentence pierced Ye Mengxiong's heart. Ye Mengxiong didn't like being used as a gunman, and he didn't want everything he did to be used by villains. Now it is indeed as Xiao Ruxun said, if he is against Xiao Ruxun, That is to defend Shen Yiguan, the traitor who abolished the emperor.

It might be ironic to say it, but the general in front of him is really defending Daming, and he really doesn't know what bad idea is hidden in the heart of that orthodox chief minister.

Cao Mengde?
Sima Yi?
Wang Mang?

One name after another flashed through Ye Mengxiong's mind, and he suddenly realized that if he continued to stand in front of Xiao Ruxun, he would be digging the grave of the Ming Dynasty and the emperor he swore to be loyal to.

It's time to make a decision.

Shen Yiguan, who is cunning and calculating, and Xiao Ruxun, who is utterly loyal, how to choose is almost certain.

"Ji Xin, tell me, what will you do after you successfully killed the rebels in the Northern Expedition?"

Ye Mengxiong looked at Xiao Ruxun very seriously.

Xiao Ruxun's answer was also extremely serious.

"Please reset your majesty, renew the rule, and recreate the universe! After that, your majesty will naturally take action, and I and my servants only need to obey orders."

Ye Mengxiong asked again: "What don't you want yourself?"

Xiao Ruxun shook his head: "I'm already the Duke of Qin, with the highest title and an extremely human minister. What else can I want? If I want to say it, it is to train a million more elite soldiers for the Ming Dynasty, to conquer the grasslands in the north, to eliminate the threat of the northern captives in one fell swoop, and to restore the glory of Hongwu. Show off your ambitions, so that the people of the Central Plains will no longer be threatened by the northern captives! When you are successful, you will bring your family back to Burma and continue to be my Marquis of Zhennan."

"How should the rest of the traitors be dealt with?"

Ye Mengxiong asked again.

"When discussing with His Majesty, the mastermind cannot stay, and the rest will be punished according to the seriousness of the circumstances, such as demotion or exile and house raids. People always have to be responsible for what they have done, and it is impossible to completely escape punishment!"

Xiao Ruxun replied.

"Well, so good."

Ye Mengxiong nodded, and then asked: "Do you still want the Five Armies Governor's Mansion to restore its original functions, and return the general power to His Majesty?"

Xiao Ruxun nodded.

"Of course, if such a situation is possible now, why not do it? Civil servants administer administration, military officials fight wars, no distinction is made between high and low, only success or failure is discussed, civil affairs don't care about military affairs, and military officials don't interfere with politics. I will do my best to help His Majesty complete this matter!"

Hearing this, Ye Mengxiong let out a long sigh.

"The old man can't tell whether what Yu Qian did was right or wrong, but this matter, the old man will not oppose you. Shen has always done too much. If you can't return the general power to His Majesty this time, I will wait for you." The rift between the subject and His Majesty cannot be healed, Ji Xin, at that time, you will need to mediate more."

Indeed, after this mutiny, Zhu Yijun would definitely not be able to accept the status quo of civilian officials holding military power. He would never give up if he did not take military power into his hands, and he might even do other terrible things. Therefore, Ye Mengxiong also had such worries of.

The situation of Zhu Yijun and Zhu Qizhen is not the same. Zhu Qizhen's situation is special. He was put under house arrest by his younger brother, and he relied on his courtiers to regain the throne, but Zhu Yijun was deposed by a traitor, so his mentality is naturally different.

So, Xiao Ruxun said that he understood.

"Don't worry Ye Gong, I will definitely persuade Your Majesty not to overcorrect this matter."

"I don't know what the outcome of this incident will be!"

Ye Mengxiong's tone suddenly became low: "But there is only one thing I can be sure of, Ji Xin, I saw you right."

After finishing speaking, Ye Mengxiong stood up.

"Ji Xin, do you remember? When you and I parted, you swore to me that you would never forget your ambition in this life. The rise and fall of a country is everyone's responsibility, and I believe in you, so I once said that in the future The one who will help the world must be you, and now it has really come true."

Ye Mengxiong picked up his wine glass: "This glass of wine, the old man respects you, respects you for your courage and loyalty, and respects you for not forgetting your original intention."

Xiao Ruxun hurriedly stood up and picked up the wine glass: "Never dare to forget the oath!"

The two drank the wine together.

"Since that's the case, Wuchang doesn't need to be on guard anymore. Count me as Ye Mengxiong in your rebel army!"

Ye Mengxiong showed a kind smile.

Xiao Ruxun bowed deeply to him: "Mr. Ye deeply understands righteousness, Ruxun is very grateful!"

Ye Mengxiong helped Xiao Ruxun up.

"I just want to thank you, Ji Xin. Without you, I really don't know what the world will be like tomorrow. All in all, Ji Xin, you should lead your troops to Wuchang as soon as possible! I will listen to you as to what to do next."

Ye Mengxiong made up his mind.

The big picture is set.

Xiao Ruxun breathed a sigh of relief.

Just looking at Ye Mengxiong's leaving back, his eyes gradually became deeper.

He is different from before, at least what is certain is that he is different from the person outside the capital who said that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country.

He didn't tell the truth to Ye Mengxiong, and of course he didn't plan to tell the truth. For example, he concealed the fact that he was carrying out land reform.

This is an act to completely destroy the foundation of the Confucian gentry's survival. Ye Mengxiong's possibility of understanding is very low, so let alone Ye Mengxiong, even Yuan Huang and Mei Guozhen don't know that Xiao Ruxun secretly dispatched the land reform working group to go out to work.

For this matter, Xiao Ruxun isolated the news, and isolated the news through Heishui. He was directly responsible for preventing Yuan Huang and Mei Guozhen from getting in touch with this matter. He even asked Heishui to monitor Yuan Huang and Mei Guozhen to prevent them from knowing. possibility of this matter.

Xiao Ruxun was not sure about persuading the literati under his command to accept his approach, so he chose not to say it. The land reform has not caused much trouble yet, and he can block the news from Yuan Huang and others for a period of time.

When the general trend of the land reform has been achieved and there is no end to death, even if they know it, there is nothing they can do.

At most, Xiao Ruxun would just protect their hometown, but land reform must be carried out and will never be interrupted.

Xiao Ruxun even thought about fighting for a while, delaying it for a while, buying more time for the land reform, and expanding it to more places. At that time, even if Yuan Huang and the others do not support it, what if they oppose it?

After all, the army is in their own hands!
This is the most critical!
Now that the overall situation has been decided, as long as Xie He and the others are given a little time to grow up, let them build a new foundation for themselves, and cultivate a new civil service team, what else is there to worry about?

How should civil servants be selected in the future, what content to study, how to assign work, etc., will it be the same as the current imperial examination system?

No, it shouldn't be, Xiao Ruxun will not foolishly continue to carry out the imperial examination without any changes, so as to continue to cultivate a group of powerful gentry.

It is also imperative to abolish the privilege of scholars.

After deciding on the land reform, Xiao Ruxun suddenly found that there were many things added to his political blueprint.

How can I be stopped by these people-raising scholars?
Although I feel a little guilty for Ye Mengxiong's behavior of trusting himself so much, but...

No one can stop me.

nobody!
Xiao Ruxun turned and left.
