Chapter 7 Visits

The next day, King Luo came to visit Mo Hu early in the morning, and was led to the martial arts training ground in the backyard by Mo Hu's housekeeper, and saw King Qi playing fencing with Mo Hu, King Luo looked at it for a while, and then smiled, King Qi used the heavy sword in fencing, and Mo Hu used a sword that was slightly thinner than the traditional Longquan sword, King Qi wore a Western-style fencing uniform for fencing, and Mo Hu was dressed in a simple military armor. This conflict between Chinese and Western cultures is really hilarious.

No matter how different this is, the two have a lot of fun, although Mo Hu is old, he is better than the military training all year round, the sensitivity of this body can be compared to the king of Qi, the upright and middle-aged general, you come and go, the king of Qi loses, King Luo saw that it was over, he slapped on the side, walked to the sweaty Mo Hu and said: "Marshal, this body really makes us envious." ”

Mo Hu glanced at King Luo, and said in a tone of lesson: "You are all dragged down by women and wine, and you don't know moderation, and the people below also serve and follow, and you don't know how many catties and taels you have. When you're darker, you'll be healthy. After speaking, he added to King Luo: "Look at your whiteness, you nest in the warship every day, and you exercise more." ”

King Luo didn't speak, and King Qi said, "Fourth brother, have you had breakfast?" I'm bringing my Lu cuisine chef here, why don't you eat some together? ”

"You see, marshal, or the eldest brother thinks about me, I have heard that the eldest brother has gathered the famous chefs of the four major cuisines, this Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Suzhou cuisine, have all eaten, this Lu cuisine, I really haven't eaten it, through the marshal's face, to satisfy the cravings." King Luo pretended to be a big grin, and he didn't care how full he ate in the morning, so he sat down like this.

"Look, what kind of cuisine is there for a meal, you are all spoiled, think back then, when Your Majesty and I were attacking Mozhou, what cuisine did you still care, the cook's boiled horse meat, sticking a little salty salt grains and swallowing it in your mouth. Really, don't let me be tainted with the bad habits of the Manchu Eight Banners. ”

King Luo and King Qi laughed, Mo Hu didn't want to say anything, and the three of them went to the restaurant.

Breakfast is not unusual, but the knife work and fire can indeed be seen to be some ordinary people can not be able to skills, but the most admired by King Qi is three small bowls of mullet egg soup, this small bowl of soup is still special, is the chef of King Qi, the bowl is engraved with Wang Shilu's "Memories of Caizi" in the poem "full rice and fish balls, clear the bottle and point crab Xu, Boren shovel the fish, this matter will be pitiful", to set off the value of this bowl of soup, it is very tight.

"You two came, what's the matter, wasn't it quite stylish yesterday, why did you come to apologize today?" Mo Hu asked dryly while eating.

"Marshal, look at what you said, there were some things I didn't understand yesterday, so I came to ask today." King Qi said.

Mo Hu: "Didn't think about anything?" What are you asking? ”

King Qi: "Your Majesty's 20th anniversary celebration of the accession to the throne, I don't know how the third brother prepared, anyway, our military region held a lively celebration ceremony, this is not 5 days before the opening, I want to ask, it is inconvenient recently, let me go back and preside over it?" ”

Mo Hu took two bites and asked rhetorically: "You two are the heirs of Your Majesty, and the 20th anniversary of your accession to the throne is less than a month away. ”

King Luo: "The events held in our local area are also to celebrate the 20th anniversary of His Majesty's accession to the throne. Isn't the will of the Council to demand that the whole country celebrate! ”

"One of you wants to get something out of my mouth, isn't it?" Mo Hu suddenly slammed the chopsticks in his hand on the table. Then he asked, "I look so good at talking?" You guys had a reason yesterday, didn't you have a good idea? Why do you have to ask me? ”

King Qi and King Luo both knew Mo Hu's temper, and it was normal to beat him like this, so they coaxed a few words of kindness.

When Mo Hu was calm, Mo Hu said: "You honestly stay in Huadu for a few days and do your filial piety to Your Majesty." It's not that there are things I won't tell you, it's that it's not yet time. Your Majesty will give you your will today or tomorrow, and it is useless to ask me. ”

King Qi and King Luo nodded, understanding in their hearts that it was impossible to leave Huadu.

Before breakfast was finished, a regular attendant came to the palace and let Mo Hu enter the palace, and Mo Hu left even if he left, leaving King Qi and King Luo embarrassed for a while, and they each said goodbye and left.

From Mo Hu's Zhenguo Mansion to Mo Haige's Lai Gong Mansion, about two square districts, there are people who like to compare, always like to compare this Wen Yiwu mansion, the most obvious is Mo Hu's mansion, but it is much more lively than Mo Haige's mansion.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Mo Haige is the head of today's civil ministers, first look at the official hat on his head: the title of Taifu (Zheng Yipin), the "Associate Cabinet Affairs Power", and the Chief of the Judicial Council.

Let's talk about this Taifu first, Taifu has always been a representative of high power or a synonym for honor, and most of them are fictitious titles in history, and they are also fictitious titles in the empire, just to mark the level of the positive grade enjoyed by Mohag.

Speaking of "assistant cabinet affairs", in the 34th year of the empire, after the cabinet minister Kibin was transferred to the prime minister of the political affairs hall, the cabinet minister has not been granted to others, and later the cabinet made a break and asked about the cabinet's responsibility. His Majesty commented at the end of the excerpt: "Consider Mo Taifu to assist in cabinet affairs." "What is extremely interesting about this Zhu Pi is that the word 'discretion' is very large, and it seems that after thinking about it, the rest of the words will fall. As a result, Mohag became a "temporary" prime minister, which was three years.

The chief of the trial council, the full name of the trial council is "the pre-imperial trial council", the core of the imperial power, the trial council is convened by the emperor, by 3 permanent servants of the inner court and a number of foreign court officials, with the emperor's will as the main thing, the prime minister of the political hall as the chief, and all the major policies of the imperial court are from this. Since the "reform of the national system", the Council has added one more power, that is, with the consent of all foreign ministers, various national policies can be tried first, and this is still the case. For two years, the role of chief was assumed by Mohag.

In this way, in this "left-behind" government, Mohag can be regarded as the master.

Although Mo Haige is so powerful in the world, he still looks like a civil servant, so that although this hall is large, no one dares to care about it.

The snub in the foyer is not necessarily the situation after the official steps down, but it may also be that the official position is so respected that it cannot be repeated.

Every big man has "three ups and three downs", and Mo Haige is the same, when he was in the Ministry of Rites, when he was about to retire, he went to Twin Islands with the King of Chu. The king of Chu served as the governor, and Mo Haige served as the overseer (to put it bluntly, it was to let Mo Haige go to see the king of Chu). Because of His Majesty's trust, the decree of the Twin Islands once came from the Overseer's Mansion, and later the King of Chu "made three troubles in the political hall", and Mo Haige had no choice but to do it. After Zhishi, he was invited by King Luo to teach in the house, and he had a proper place to stay, so he agreed to accept two disciples, one was Mo Longxiang and the other was his sister Mo Qingshi.

But with just this little thing, can Mo Longxiang knock on the door of Taifu?

When he arrived at the Lai Gong Mansion (Mo Haig Mansion), Mo Longxiang gritted his teeth, knocked on the door and knocked half-loudly, half of the door opened, and the attendant in the door showed up leisurely through the threshold, and said: "Taifu has entered the palace, Master Hou, please go back." ”

"When is Taifu expected to come back? This is my prayer post. After speaking, Mo Longxiang handed over the sticker along the crack of the door.

The attendant took it with one hand and said, "When the Taifu will come back, I will report your visit in time." ”

Mo Longxiang nodded, and the door closed.

Mo Longxiang was just about to turn around and leave, but he heard a sentence from inside the door: "Hmph, it's just a hostage in Huadu, you don't need to tell Taifu." ”

This is not the first time, Mo Longxiang doesn't care in his heart, he, the so-called disciple of the house, has only been with Taifu for half a year. Besides, how many disciples are there in the house of Taifu Zhizun?

The royal princes, it can't be said that there are as many as cows, and there are also one hundred and eighty people. Today, His Majesty has a total of 17 sons and 15 daughters, and there are 34 grandchildren under the 17 sons, and there are even those who married early, and they have added 8 or 9 great-great-grandchildren to His Majesty.

Although his father is one of the four feudal princes of the region, the 'protons' of his own country are all dwarves, and no one dares to have too deep contact with him, so he is naturally not treated by the government and the opposition. Not to mention visiting Master Taifu.
