    Looking at the dejected Duke of Wei, Mu Tianbo reached out and picked up the wine bottle on the table, poured a glass of wine for Duke Wei, and then poured another glass for himself, and then said: "Master, many things have changed with the passage of time.  It's easy, the foundation of us nobles is not actually the power we control, only the Ming Dynasty is our foundation." After drinking the wine in the cup, Wei Guogong looked at Mu Tianbo with a serious face and said in a deep voice: "Tell me something.  Clearly, there are only two of us here." "My lord, we are actually enjoying the grace of our ancestors. I think that back then, King Jing of Zhongshan followed Taizu in the north and south, so that our descendants could have good food and clothing.  The imperial court has tolerated us many times, but it's just because of the merits of our ancestors. I don't know what my nephew thinks. Does the Duke agree with it? " He looked at Wei Guogong with a smile, drank down the wine in front of him, and Mu  Tianbo said with a smile.  He nodded slowly. Naturally, Duke Wei could not object to this. During the Jingnan War, if Emperor Chengzu had not taken advantage of the past, there would have been no Duke of Wei.  "Only when the Ming Dynasty flourishes can we nobles have the foundation to establish themselves. When the Ming Dynasty lasts forever, we can enjoy wealth forever. Looking at ancient and modern times, which dynasty can survive forever? How powerful was the Han and Tang Dynasties? Didn't they end up in the end?  Destruction? Ming Dynasty cannot escape. Only if Ming Dynasty survives for a few more years, we nobles can enjoy more years." Mu Tianbo poured a glass of wine for Wei Guogong again. In his opinion, Wei Guogong's idea was very dangerous.  It will implicate all the nobles, and it needs to be solved!  Duke Guo of Wei also agreed with this point. During the Tang Dynasty, there were many clans.  How many are left now?  How powerful it was at the beginning.  But it cannot avoid the fate of disappearing.  "The emperor implemented the equalization reform. In the eyes of my nephew, this is what it should be. In the last years of Jiajing, there were Japanese pirates in the south and Mongolian Tatars. The people were miserable. Although Emperor Jiajing was a powerful  Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty's treasury is empty and on the verge of collapse. In the words of a civil servant, the country is not far away!" When he was studying at home, Mu Tianbo liked to read ancient and modern history and had no great interest in the collection of classics.  However, it was the first time that he spoke freely like today. Seeing Wei Guogong not speaking, he then said: "Although Emperor Longqing has been in office for six years, he has implemented real reforms. Zhang Juzheng was also appointed. Although the reforms have harmed the interests of some people  , but the Ming Dynasty's national power has become stronger. When Emperor Wanli was in office, the treasury was rich and the war in Liaodong was a great victory!" Listening to Mu Tianbo's words one by one, a cautious look appeared on Duke Wei's face.  .  Looking at Mu Tianbo, he nodded to him.  He motioned for him to continue.  "In my nephew's opinion, Emperor Wanli was able to live up to his prosperity. That was also because of Zhang Juzheng's reforms. In the last years of Wanli, Emperor Wanli was getting weaker and weaker, Zhang Juzheng was also liquidated, and the court became increasingly weak. The Battle of Saarhu  . It makes Liaodong even more devastated." Speaking of this, Mu Tianbo sighed softly.  There was a somewhat lonely look on his face.  Wei Guogong also knew these things very clearly, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Yes! Back then, both Taizu and Chengzu were traveling across Mobei. How could the Mongolian Tatars dare to invade the border easily? Liaodong Jiannu didn't even take it seriously.  , But let¡¯s not mention it later!¡± ¡°When the emperor ascended the throne in a weak year, he was extremely wise. Since he ascended the throne, he has selected good ministers and appointed good generals. For a time, the battle of Liaodong was won, and the northwest Tatars did not dare to talk about it.  It's the emperor's achievement. But the emperor is not satisfied. What the emperor wants to do is to be the emperor of Zhongxing, to recreate the prosperous times when Taizu became the ancestor." Mu Tianbo had a look of excitement on his face, and the young man really wanted to go to war.  To show his power, Mu Tianbo is no exception.  Looking at Mu Tianbo with a bit of disbelief, Wei Guogong suddenly sighed like an old man.  I have never thought about it so carefully, but the young man in front of me has such far-sightedness.  "My dear nephew, how do you think things will develop?" Wei Guogong sighed and asked with a smile.  At this time, he no longer regarded Mu Tianbo as his junior, but put him on an equal footing for advice.  "The reform of the military system is only the first step. Those who rebelled also saw this, so they rebelled desperately. The emperor wants to hold the military power in his hands, and at the same time he wants a strong army with arms and fingers. These  It's all the foundation. In fact, you don't need to think about it to know that the emperor's subsequent reforms will definitely be very drastic. The emperor wants military power to protect the subsequent reforms." He drank the wine in the glass with a look of expectation on his face.  .  Thinking of Emperor Tianqi¡¯s young face, and then looking at Mu Tianbo¡¯s young face, Duke Wei shook his head helplessly.  Maybe it¡¯s really the age of young people and I¡¯m really old?  ¡°Back then, the Holy One had great talents and great plans, and his methods and mentality were the best choices. If you want to go against the Holy One, you will definitely end up in a miserable place. Mr. Guo,We are nobles. Only when Ming Dynasty becomes stronger and stronger will we be better off.  In my nephew's opinion, we cannot oppose the emperor's decision, but should support it.  "Mu Tianbo poured another glass of wine and quietly waited for Wei Guogong to think. After a deep look at Mu Tianbo, Wei Guogong also fell into deep thought. These principles are not profound, and they are very simple to say. It's not that Wei Guogong didn't think about it, but  He was blinded for a moment. Thinking about what Emperor Tianqi had done since he came to the throne, Wei Guogong suddenly felt helpless. As soon as he took the throne, he started to rectify the court, and then waited until he had a powerful force in his hands.  The emperor began to carry out equalization reforms. Everyone knew that Longchang belonged to Emperor Tianqi, but everyone chose to shut up. At first, Wei Guogong didn't know why, but later he figured it out.  Honorable officials, no one is clean, even if they are not in business, people in the family cannot escape. There are some things that can be done but not said, and there are some things that can be said but not done.  With money, food, and an army, Emperor Apocalypse naturally wanted to start his own ideas. The Southern Seven Provinces naturally became the place that Emperor Apocalypse wanted to control, and he was not only the most noble person in the Southern Seven Provinces, but also held military power.  Thinking of this, Duke Wei couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. It turned out that he was already in such danger. It was a pity that he had become a stumbling block for the emperor. It was a terrible thing to think about what Mu Tianbo just said.  A flash of shock flashed across his face. At this time, he firmly believed in Mu Tianbo's words. The equalization reform was indeed not the end, but a beginning. Emperor Tianqi was playing a big game. It had been four years since Emperor Tianqi came to the throne.  It seems to be disorganized, but he has been preparing for it for four years. The emperor is so worried. Wei Guogong can imagine that if he does not understand the current affairs, it will be difficult to say when the time comes.  The outcome will definitely not be good. Seeing Wei Guogong raise his head again, Mu Tianbo looked at Wei Guogong with a smile, and saw that his eyes had regained clarity. "My dear nephew, the Duke of Guizhou has been guarding Yunnan for generations.  , the foundation is also very behind, I am very curious, I don¡¯t know how my nephew handles himself?  "The Duke of Wei is also very curious about this question. Since Mu Tianbo sees it so clearly, he must have already made a plan! "The Duke of Guizhou guards Yunnan, so it is just Yunnan. This is very important.  She Chongming in Sichuan rebelled, and the Duke of Guizhou did not make the slightest move, and could not make the slightest move.  The emperor would rather send people from the capital to quell the rebellion than use people from Yunnan, which explains the problem.  The emperor's movements were from south to north, and he did not start until he was ready.  Therefore, the emperor is already very confident about the Jiangnan matter, otherwise he would not take action.  If we go to Yunnan, my nephew will definitely urge my father to do so. This is the general trend!  "Mu Tianbo had a smile on his face, without any unpleasantness at all, as if everything was as it should be. Nodding again, Wei Guogong didn't know how many times he nodded, but he had already put it on his face  With a look of understanding, he looked at Mu Tianbo with a smile and asked, "In that case, does my nephew have any good ideas that he can teach me?  " He quickly waved his hand, and Mu Tianbo said with a smile: "What my nephew said today has already gone too far. How dare you talk nonsense.  The Duke is much stronger than his nephew, so he will naturally have a good way to deal with it.  " After listening to Mu Tianbo's words, Wei Guogong suddenly laughed. The more he looked at Mu Tianbo, the more he liked him. Why is there no such person among his nephews? He couldn't help but sigh again. He picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured it for himself.  After drinking a glass of wine, he poured another glass for Mu Tianbo and said with a smile: "My nephew's kindness today will be recorded by the Duke of Wei!  " Mu Tianbo on the side had already stood up, bowed down and finished the wine, and said with a serious face: "Master, please don't do this. The Duke of Wei and the Duke of Guizhou have been friends for many generations. If you do this, you will kill the younger generation!  " When the two people sat down, Wei Guogong and Mu Tianbo couldn't help but smile at each other. It was late at night, and Emperor Tianqi still hadn't gone to bed. He was sitting in front of the Long Bookcase, gently flipping the memorials. These were sent from the capital, most of them  It has been drawn up and the jade seal has been stamped on it. These are all important things that Sun Chengzong has selected and need to be looked at by Emperor Tianqi. Emperor Tianqi found that the handling was quite satisfactory.  He said that when it comes to the imperial court, things should be done roughly, and be careful about the small things. At first, I smiled and asked why. It turns out that the imperial court has custom-made arrangements for big things. As long as they are followed roughly, there will be no mistakes.  , on the contrary, it is a small matter, because there is no precedent to draw from, but it requires more thinking. After dealing with government affairs for such a long time, Emperor Tianqi found that this is really the case.
