The first thousand one hundred and twenty-four chapters, brother will give you instructions

"Didn't Brother Six talk about some things about the Wei Office yesterday? Why did he come early today?" Sit down, Zhao Huluo first gave Mu Zhongming a glass of wine, finished his sip of wine, and asked in confusion.

It was precisely because of this that Zhao Huoluo didn't hurry up when he came. He took a leisurely walk around the streets. He originally thought that he had come early, but who thought Mu Zhongming had even served a table of wine and food.

"It's nothing. I just went on a mission a few days ago and made some contributions. The commander summoned me today. I received the grace of the emperor and rewarded my brother, a polite envoy."

Mu Zhongming said lightly, but the compliment in his expression was obvious. Although the level of the sanctuary was only one level higher than that of his previous Qianhu Suo Qianhu, his power and status were very different. From Qianhu Suo Qianhu to the sanctuary, Mu Zhongming was equal to touching the middle and upper levels from the middle and lower levels of the Jinyiwei to the upper levels, which was a bright future.

After hearing Mu Zhongming say this, Zhao Huoluo was stunned at first, and then showed an envious expression.

If it were in the past, if Mu Zhongming surrendered to the Ming Dynasty as a bannerman, Zhao Huoluo would definitely be disdainful. But now it is different. Although the so-called Qing Dynasty is still there, the early morning is not the Qing Dynasty in the past.

The world was lost, and even the emperor was in the hands of the regent. Several forces separated the capital and were suspicious and guarded against each other. Is such a Qing Dynasty still a Qing Dynasty?

On the other hand, although Zhao Huoluo did not go to the south, and even Tianjin, which was close to him, could not go to see it, just look at the changes in Beijing now and the spirit of the people. Even when the Qing Dynasty was the most powerful, it was far inferior, let alone today?

Besides, the only one who defected to the Ming Dynasty was Mu Zhongming. Among the bannermen, there were more than Mu Zhongming. Even if the bannermen who did not run west from Beijing to Beijing and stayed in Beijing, although they were driven out of the inner city, Zhao Huoluo found that their lives were not sad after returning this time, and there were even a few who lived well.

The Ming Dynasty did not adopt a policy of killing ordinary bannermen with one stick. In addition to some serious crimes and evil deeds, ordinary bannermen usually drove out of the inner city and confiscated their property. Even so, the Ming Dynasty left them some things to live in, not to mention where their so-called houses and property came from? Wasn’t it just stolen from the people of Beijing after Manchu entered the pass? Now the property has returned to the original owner, and this principle is reasonable wherever they go.

After these bannermen were resettled, although they lost their former identities and hard-core crops, they gradually began to learn to integrate into the Ming society and survive on their own hands and abilities. In addition, due to the great opening of trade in the Ming Dynasty, the atmosphere has changed greatly and there are many opportunities. As long as they are not fools or guys who are too lazy to behave, it is not too difficult to earn a share of their family business.

Even if some people do not know how to do business or study, they still have some strength. Whether they work or go overseas to survive, they have a way out. Then again, even if there are a small number of people who are obsessed with the incompleteness, nostalgic for the Qing Dynasty, and intend to be the so-called master, the Ming Dynasty would not be polite. The Jinyiwei did this and took these people to work in Xishan for labor reform. If they were not convinced after one or two years, they would have to be convinced.

In recent years, the bannermen in Beijing have basically abandoned their previous identities. No matter whether they dress or dress, they have changed, they are no different from those of Ming people. Even the so-called old Manchu surname has been lost, and replaced by their Han surname.

Zhao Huoluo, who has been back in Beijing for so many days, is very clear about these things. Sometimes he has thoughts in his mind. If he hadn't followed Ortai, he might have spent his life in Beijing like them.

Let’s look at Mu Zhongming again. Although the other party’s background is better than his, he went to the south to become the Eight Banners, and he still had some psychological advantages compared to Zhao Huoluo at the foot of the emperor. But now, Mu Zhongming has become the emperor’s personal army and a middle and high-level official of the Jinyiwei.

What is the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty? Regardless of the emperor's personal army, the Jinyiwei's power is so great. To put it bluntly, it is not as good as the ordinary third-class guards in the Qing Dynasty. Mu Zhongming was originally Qianhu of the Thousand Houses of Beijing, but now he has become a policing envoy, which really makes Zhao Huoluo envious.

"It's so great to be so good for Brother Six! Brother, I'll give you another cup of me."

Zhao Huoluo, who was both happy, surprised and envious, quickly poured a glass of wine, stood up and said affectionately.

Mu Zhongming didn't take it big, and stood up with a smile, holding the wine glass in his hand and smiled and said, "You guy, don't be so polite, your brother. Daming doesn't break the rules so much. Come! Let's drink one!"

"Drink one!"

As they said that, the two of them clinked their glasses and tilted their heads to drink them clean.

Sitting down, Zhao Huoluo took out something from his arms, put it on the table with a smile and pushed it towards Mu Zhongming: "Brother, I don't know that the Sixth Brother has a happy event today. It is logical that I should have a big banquet to congratulate him. However, I know that the Sixth Brother is a big fan, so it is not appropriate to make a big fuss, but I naturally cannot help but say that this thing was obtained by my brother. Today I wish Brother Liu a high success!"

This was something wrapped in a palm-sized red cloth. Zhao Huluo pushed it to Mu Zhongming and deliberately opened the red cloth, and a soft glow suddenly appeared inside. Mu Zhongming looked carefully and found that it was actually a piece of mutton fat white jade. This piece of white jade was of excellent quality. Although it was not carved, it was already precious.

"This is a good thing, but it's too expensive. Brother, I've received it. It's a lot of money for you to come back in Beijing this time. If you keep it in the future..."

Although Mu Zhongming liked it, he did not accept it. Instead, he said politely. But before he finished speaking, Zhao Huluo held down Mu Zhongming's hand that was about to push back and said seriously: "Sixth brother, you are so happy that you can only take action. This is the brother's wish. If you don't accept it, you look down on me. Where can you put your brother's face? You have to collect it today! You must collect it!"

The two refused and almost turned red from a fight. In the end, Zhao Huoluo made Mu Zhongming accept the gift as his wish. When the gift was given out, Zhao Huoluo felt relieved and a smile appeared on his face again.

"Then thank you brothers." Mu Zhongming took the Baiyu, said politely, and then said: "How have you done your brothers in Beijing these days?"

When he heard this, Zhao Huoluo was right in his mind. Zhao Huoluo sighed and shook his head and said, "It's hard! Brother Six, you know, it's hard for anyone in the court to do things. I went to the Ministry of Rites again early this morning, but I ignored me at all. I still said the same thing, let me wait. I don't know when it will be the end!"

Mu Zhongming nodded and sighed, "That's true. In fact, the Sixth Brother can't help you much in this matter. After all, the Jinyiwei has different responsibilities from various departments. Now the emperor is a very ruler, and the Sixth Brother can't interfere."

"I understand, I'm not a slight brother. Brother Liu is naturally aware of the difficulties. It's just that my brother wants to ask Brother Liu to think of a solution. It's not a big deal to drag on it for such a long time. See if there is any other way to go."

"Well, it's hard to go. If you had just returned to Beijing and the news had not yet spread, it might be fine, but now it's hard! The emperor's attitude towards the Qing Dynasty is known all over the world. Someone suggested that the emperor agree to the Qing Dynasty to surrender, but in the end he was removed from his post. Therefore, no official in the court dared to speak for you, let alone report the matter."

Zhao Huoluo had heard of what Mu Zhongming mentioned before, which is also the reason why he has been unable to open up the situation after he came to Beijing.

Just as Zhao Huoluo was anxious, Mu Zhongming suddenly changed his words and said with a smile: "But brother, brother, I don't know if there is a saying that should be said or not."

"Brother Six, you are good for me. What else can't be said about our relationship? But Brother Six, what other ways do you have?" After hearing this, Zhao Huoluo asked anxiously, and he had to say that this kid is smart and has some eyesight, otherwise Ortai wouldn't have sent him here.

"Actually..." Mu Zhongming said two words, but as soon as these two words were spoken, he frowned and shook his head: "It's not appropriate, let's forget it..."

"Don't, Brother Six, you said, you said! No matter what, Brother Six, you are helping your brother. No matter what Brother Six said, I can only be grateful to Brother Six!"

After hesitating for a while, Mu Zhongming nodded and sighed: "Actually it's very simple. You should know what kind of brothers are like in the Qing Dynasty. After all, this world belongs to me, the Ming Dynasty, right?"

Seeing Zhao Huluo nodding, Mu Zhongming added fire again: "I think you want to come back in Beijing these days, brother, you might as well abandon your identity as a Manchu and turn to the light. This will not be completely solved?"

"Tou Ming? Is this... this possible?" In fact, Mu Zhongming had already seen that Zhao Huoluo had this idea. As expected, he asked with some concern and surprise.

"What's wrong?" Mu Zhongming said seriously: "There are more people in the world who can win Ming, are you alone? Besides, what's wrong with this? Isn't your master thinking about winning Ming? If you invest first and then, you invest the same thing? Besides, you invest Ming, this is your own person. When you hit the bridge, you will help your nephew... No, I will help you, and you will make a contribution, and you will be grateful to him. Isn't this better than you who are now like a headless fly in Beijing?"

Speaking of this, seeing Zhao Huoluo's heart moving, Mu Zhongming said again: "As for where to vote, how to vote, don't worry, brother, I am the policing envoy now, so I naturally have the right to arrange this. If it were someone else, it would be fine, but you are my brother, and it's easy to get you an errand. Besides, the commander will give you an official document and say a few words in private. Isn't that all this done?"

The more Zhao Huoluo listened, the more reasonable it made. Think about it carefully, this is not only a road, but also a bright road to change his identity. He is not a hesitant person. He will lose his chances when he knows that he missed it. This is the help of Mu Zhongming's relationship.
