It was another royal banquet of father's kindness and filial piety.

Today, I didn't avoid the old eunuch, and he still needed his participation and assistance in many things, so he still had the title of "Lifting the Imperial City Division" on his face.

"Mo'er, let's not talk about this, I just received a 'good news' from your mother-in-law for my father, and your kid hid it deep enough, and he didn't reveal any news to his father two days ago."

Emperor Ningzong suddenly complained about Guo Mo without a clue, which made Guo Mo confused.

"Take it and take a look, although there is a custom of not reporting it within three months, but that is for outsiders, to your own father, you are the same?" Ning Zong feigned anger and said.

Guo Mo opened a secret fold, which was mixed with a very short letterhead, briefly introducing Huang Rong's pregnancy, but there were only two words, and even Guo Mo was stunned when he saw it.

"Twins"? Pregnant with two children?

"What? Don't tell me, you don't know yourself, do you? ”

Looking at Guo Mo's appearance, Ning Zong was also slightly surprised.

"Hehe, it's not that I don't know, but I didn't expect it to be a 'twin', I guess my father-in-law just checked it out." A giggle.

"Okay, what do you want for a reward? It's hard for the father and son, and now you're the only one, so you have to spread out a lot. ”

It was obviously a happy thing, but Emperor Ningzong was full of emotion.

"How can these things be asked by the son himself, you just watch and give it, and talk about it when he is born. By the way, this time, I chatted with the little prince of the Zhao Mansion of the Jin Kingdom and talked a little about 'family life'. ”

Guo Mo told Emperor Ningzong about his conversation with Yan Kang in the "Iron Spear Temple".

These things can't be hidden from the emperor's father, after all, he still needs his final cooperation and decision.

"Mer, you're doing the right thing. The pressure that Jin Guo has put on me has lasted for so many years, and it has always been a problem for my father's henchmen, and this time it depends on how far they can go. ”

"In addition, since you talked about Mongolia last time, your father has asked the 'Imperial City Division' to increase its exploration of the north. It's a pity that our external exploration power is still weaker. ”

"Even so, my father also learned what you said, the ambition and strength of 'Genghis Khan', and I am glad that Mongolia and the Great Song Dynasty are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers."

"However, if Mongolia really goes south, the Jin Kingdom may not be able to stop it, so we still have to make plans as soon as possible."

Seeing that Emperor Ningzong had already paid attention to Mongolia, Guo Mo was very relieved and thought for a while and said.

"From a child's point of view, there are four reasons why Mongolia is strong."

"First, there is a strong and powerful cluster of monarchs and commanders, and there are not many internal constraints, so it is easy to form a unified concept and decision-making."

"Second, the powerful military force, the most powerful army of 'Genghis Khan' is called the 'Cowardly Xue Army', which is equivalent to our forbidden army."

"This army is not many now, only a few thousand people, but it is extremely loyal, strong, and iron-blooded, and everyone can be ten generals, or even a hundred generals."

"Third, the whole nation is full of iron-blooded and martial spirit, which is mainly caused by their harsh living environment, and an effective military merit system has also been established."

"Fourth, good at taking advantage of external factors, the surrounding countries and tribes have varying degrees of decline, while they are thriving. In the case of one or the other, they will inevitably be the ultimate victors. ”

Guo Mo's voice echoed in the Funing Palace, and Emperor Ningzong and the old eunuch also worked hard to digest his words.

"Official, don't blame the old slave for talking too much, just what His Highness said just now, he can be ashamed of the Manchu Dynasty and the military."

The old eunuch has completely become Guo Mo's supporter, before because of martial arts, but now because of this, superior insight and mind.

"Haha, I have been an official for my father for more than 20 years, but I can't see clearly, see through, and see far as my son. Why don't you want to sit in the position of Father directly? ”

There is no harm if there is no comparison, Ning Zong suddenly felt from his heart that he was really right with Mongolia, and he was really not the opponent called "Genghis Khan".

"Hehe, isn't my son still young and wants to play for a few more years."

Well, Emperor Ningzong and the old eunuch were both defeated by this one.

If you look through history, how can you have such a powerful reason to refuse the "throne"?

"Tell me, what are your plans this time?"

Emperor Ningzong slowly learned a little about this son, and knew that he had nothing important to do, so he was not happy to run to the palace.

Sometimes, he is really envious of this son, who can do what he likes all day long, but he can only stay in the palace.

According to his son's character and martial arts, even if he becomes an official in the future, he will be able to enter and leave the palace casually, without being discovered, and he will be envious.

Guo Mo talked carefully about the incident he met with Huyan's family in Jiaxing.

It involves the case itself, the ins and outs of the Huyan family, Mo Qing's uncle Mo Ze, the inaction of the Criminal Department, Shi Miyuan's interference, and the result he wants.

After all, Guo Mo is not from these backgrounds, although he has a vision that surpasses this era for hundreds of years, but when it comes to implementation, he still wants to hear the opinions of "professional" people.

Emperor Ningzong listened attentively and squinted his eyes in thought.

"Mo'er, you shouldn't just want to save this pair of Huyan mother and son, right? It's easy to save them, and the Father can just find a reason to release them. ”

"If we want to talk about punishment here, there will be a few articles involved."

"Mo Qing is rampant in the township, since there is such a one, it will not be the only one, let the 'Imperial City Division' check it casually, it is estimated that a lot of it will be found, and Mo Ze's crime of lax discipline cannot be escaped."

"Officially sent to the Criminal Department, but there was no reply for most of the year, this is still a case of human life, and the Criminal Department is also guilty of dereliction of duty. Zhao Rushu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is also our Shi Xiang's right-hand man, right? ”

"Mo Ze is an official of the Ministry of Households, but with a note from Shi Miyuan, he can meddle in the affairs of the Criminal Department, and here Mo Ze's 'overstepping the line' and the inaction of the Criminal Department are undoubtedly displayed."

In just a few moments, Emperor Ningzong was able to peel off the cocoon and sort out the core of these problems.

and involved Shi Miyuan's subordinates, two generals in the "Four Woods and Three Murderers", and he really deserved to be an "old politician".

"What Daddy said is very true, about Huyan's mother and son, the 'Imperial City Division' came forward, and the next official letter brought the two forward, saying that there is another case involved, and no one will dare to come to you to confront you."

"It's just that Mo Ze and Zhao Rushu are two, judging from this matter alone, Mo Ze is more involved, but how can I poke this matter out?"

At this time, the old eunuch standing on the side interjected.

"Official, from the perspective of the old slave, we might as well win by surprise and add another crime to them."

"These two people are both Shi Xiang's people, they may not be able to fall with one blow, we might as well give him another option, maybe we can get some more benefits back from it."

The old eunuch said, with a "sinister" look in his eyes.

"You old thing, say whatever you have to say."

Seeing the old eunuch like that, Emperor Ningzong couldn't help but feel excited.

"Hehe, I'm afraid I'll have to bother His Highness to show his skills."

And your own business? Guo Mo was a little puzzled.

"The defense of the entire palace tonight was fully arranged by Xia Zhen, a 'Mention of the Imperial City Division' of the 'Imperial City Division', who is nicknamed 'Green Wolf' and is considered the number one thug under Shi Xiang."

"After a while, I will be tired of His Royal Highness, write a complaint for this case, and shoot it directly on the plaque of Funing Palace, this 'poor protection' of the crime, the official family insisted on it in the early dynasty, and the old slave felt that it would be effective."

"Haha, you old man, you can't compete with Xia Zhen by yourself, and now you actually arrange our father and son to act for you."

"But it's also a way, take out Xia Zhen, you can take the opportunity to install one of our people, at least in the future, the guards of this palace can be completely controlled by themselves."

Seeing that Emperor Ningzong approved it, Guo Mo also felt that this matter was feasible, so the plan was decided.

The main attack on Mo Ze, the side attack on Zhao Rushu, and the victory of Xia Zhen, the three-pronged approach, which one can be achieved, is not a small progress.

On the ninth day of the winter month, on a moonless night, even in the Imperial Palace, it was mostly dark, and only a few places were lit with candles.

A group of soldiers patrolling the night, carrying "qi death wind lanterns", shuttled through the inner courtyard of the palace according to the established route.

The third watch has passed, and Emperor Ningzong has fallen into a deep sleep under the service of the old eunuch.

At this moment, a dark shadow appeared from outside the palace.

From top to bottom, this person was wrapped in black clothes and black pants, and he was wearing a black mask on his head, revealing only two bright eyes.

Flying over the palace wall, rushing towards the palace.

Maybe it's the first time to come to the palace, the route is very unfamiliar, even broke through the vertical arch hall, the diligent palace, and encountered two groups of night patrol people, after injuring several people, fled in the direction of the Funing Palace.

"Catch the assassin—"

"The assassin ran in the direction of the Funing Palace—"

"Quickly protect the official's family—"

In the palace, the sounds of fighting and shouting have long been resounding.

Emperor Ningzong was also "awakened" by the shouting of killing.

"What's the commotion out there?"

Under the service of the old eunuch, he hurriedly dressed up.

I had just slept for more than an hour, and I was suddenly woken up, and no one would have a good temper, let alone the king of a country.

A short time later, a soldier running outside for the night came.

"Qiqi Guan's house, I found that there were night walkers who trespassed on the palace ban, and Commander Xia is organizing the capture."

"Cut, if he Xia Zhen is really capable, he won't let everyone break into the Funing Palace, this is already the official family's bedroom."

The old eunuch lost no time in making fun of Xia Zhen.

As Xia Zhen's subordinate, that soldier was not easy to argue.

"Okay, after a while, when Commander Xia takes it down, send it here directly, and tell Xia Zhen that I am waiting for him here."

Emperor Ningzong didn't bother with these details, and ordered casually.

The soldier said yes, then turned and ran out.

The man in black had already landed in the courtyard in front of the Funing Palace, and he was also surrounded by dozens of Ouchi masters, a middle-aged man with a beard, holding a sword in his hand.

"If you can break into here, you can be regarded as a capable person, I don't know what kind of friend your Excellency is, you dare to see your true face if you hide your head and tail?"

The visitor did not say anything, and looked around, and there were more and more soldiers, as if they had dispelled the idea of continuing forward.

Suddenly, he turned and slashed to his right, holding a ghost-headed knife.

If Sha Tongtian, the "Ghost Gate Dragon King" who died in the palace, was not far away, he would definitely be able to recognize that this person was his eldest apprentice, the "Soul Breaking Knife" Shen Qinggang's knife technique.

It's just that it is far more soul-breaking than Shen Qinggang's envoy, and the momentum is heavy, and the masters of the Great Inner are being killed and retreating.

"Commander Xia, this person's martial arts moves are average, but the strength is too great, and the sword skills are too fast, and the brothers can't resist it."

"Rubbish, watch Commander Ben take him personally."

Xia Zhen also watched from the side for a long time, this person came and went, and there were only twenty or so moves, and they were all crop handles, but seeing everyone's blades constantly being knocked off, it was a little weird.

"A certain family is the 'green wolf' Xia Zhen, since my friend is unwilling to reveal his identity, he has to take you down first."

After Xia Zhen finished speaking, he pressed the tension spring "Cangchang", pulled out the sword in his hand, and there was a lightning flash in the courtyard.

"Good sword!"

The visitor couldn't help but admire, as if he consciously suppressed his voice.

"My friend still has some eyesight, this is the 'Qingyu Sword' given by Shi Xiang, which was used by Zhao Zilong, the hero of Changbanpo, and I see that a certain family used this sword to kill you today."

With that, the sword was handed forward, and the distraction stabbed.

Xia Zhen was at the end of the game, and everyone else put away their swords and watched the battle from the side, but they were still vigilant.

Before and after, the two exchanged more than 20 moves, and the person who came also used the ghost head knife in his hand to the extreme, but he still couldn't fight Xia Zhen, and his footwork was still a little messy

It may be that he was afraid of the sharpness of the "Qingyu Sword", and the people who came did not dare to touch Xia Zhen's sword with the ghost head knife like before.

"Commander Xia has a victorious start and success-"

I don't know who shouted next to him, and then the other people also shouted, Xia Zhen's morale was even stronger.

"Hmph, junior, there are five more rounds, and you will be captured!"

Xia Zhen also stepped up the pace of the attack.

I saw Xia Zhen make a move "Nezha Exploring the Sea", and the sword went to the middle and went straight to the throat of the comer.

The sword came too quickly, and a cold light came.

The person who came came was in an extremely strange posture, which could be avoided, and then stretched out his left hand, took the "Qingyu Sword" in Xia Zhen's hand, and turned around and took down his scabbard.

kicked Xia Zhen in the back of the heart, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he was immediately unconscious.

"Today, the master spared your life and took his leave."

said "farewell", but his right hand took out an object from his bosom and threw it casually.

With a "snap", a bright flying knife was nailed to the plaque of "Funing Palace".

In the kung fu of everyone stunned, the person who came with the right sword and the left sword broke a bloody road, fought out of the encirclement, and walked away.

Speaking of trouble, it is actually a few breaths of time.

When everyone reacted, they found someone again, but there was no trace, and Xia Zhen was also lying on the ground unconscious at this time.

The surroundings were quiet, but the door of the Funing Hall opened from the inside, and the old eunuch walked out tremblingly.

"Why is there no movement? Did the assassins catch it? What about Xia Zhen? ”

"Back... Back to the adult, the assassin ran away, and Commander Xia was also beaten and vomited blood and fell unconscious. ”

A person who looked like a low-level general stepped forward and replied with courage that because he also belonged to the "Imperial City Division", he was called an adult.

"What? Even the Xia Commander was defeated? What assassin is so rampant? ”

The old eunuch was extremely shocked, and walked two steps to the center of the courtyard, and sure enough, he saw Xia Zhen fainting on the ground.

"You bunch of waste, it's just that you can't catch the assassins, why did Commander Xia fall to the ground, and he didn't go over to help him up."

As soon as the old eunuch said this, everyone was like a dream.

No one would have realized that in their hearts, the invincible Xia Zhen Commander would be defeated, and he would be defeated so completely.

Everyone hurriedly stepped forward, patted their hearts, wiped their backs, and it took a long time for Xia Zhen to wake up.

"Wow-"

Another mouthful of blood spurted out, and there were some fragments in the blood.

Xia Zhen knew that he was seriously injured, and even if he recovered, half of his kung fu was estimated to be gone, how could he continue to serve Shi Xiang!?

"Commander Xia, go and talk back to the official family, his old man is still waiting for you."

The old eunuch's voice sounded in Xia Zhen's ears at an inopportune time.

With the support of the two subordinates, Xia Zhen stood up with a strong spirit, and found that the "Qingyu Sword" in his hand was gone, and he didn't know how to explain to Shi Xiang now.

I couldn't care so much for a while, and staggered towards the Funing Palace.

At this time, a sharp-eyed person found a flying knife inserted on the plaque of "Funing Palace", and there seemed to be something on the flying knife.

A person with light skills and high strength flew up to the roof, moved to the plaque, and pulled out the flying knife.

Sure enough, the flying knife carried a roll of silk cloth, as if it was full of words, and the ink soaked through the back.

The man didn't dare to be self-conscious, so he handed the flying knife and the silk cloth to the old eunuch together.

The old eunuch stretched out his hand to take it, but he didn't open it.

"You, you, the two of you also come in with you, and carefully report tonight's events to the officials."

The two people ordered by the old eunuch were both leaders in the "Imperial City Division", and they were both Shi Miyuan's cronies.

A group of four people entered the Funing Palace, and the others returned to each other, and those who were unfortunately injured also hurried to bandage and heal.

Tonight, the fight was so fierce, a lot of blood was shed, and no one died, which can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.

In the Funing Palace, Emperor Ningzong sat on it, playing with the flying knife in his hand, and the old eunuch was waiting beside him.

The other three people of the "Imperial City Division" all knelt on the ground tremblingly, and Xia Zhen looked even more depressed.

In the Song Dynasty, courtiers did not need to kneel when they saw the officials, but at this time, the three of them were ineffective in guarding and wearing sinful bodies.

"Tell me, what's going on tonight?"

Emperor Ningzong asked with a sinking face.

The three people who knelt on the ground looked at each other, and in the end, Xia Zhen stubbornly told what happened at night.

Emperor Ningzong was noncommittal and opened the scroll of silk cloth casually.

Naturally, it is written about the case of the Huyan family, for Huyan's mother and son, and sued Mo Ze, the servant of the household department, and Zhao Rushu, the secretary of the criminal department.

"Actually sued the government with the people? Old goods, the Huyan family is also a loyal person of our Great Song Dynasty, but if you don't want to be in prison, you go and arrange it, let these two people out first, as long as you don't leave the ground in Jiaxing. ”

"Xia Zhen, you should also go back to treat your injuries first, and then talk about it tomorrow in the morning."

Emperor Ningzong actually didn't judge the assassin's entry into the palace tonight?

"Xia Zhen, bring this roll of silk cloth to Shi Xiang, there is actually his name on it, you ask him to prepare, and defend himself tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Emperor Ningzong yawned and left his seat.

Unexpectedly, I went back to sleep again......
