"Why, don't you believe what your father says?"

Looking at Guo Mo's shocked face, the official family felt an inexplicable sense of achievement.

This son of his own, since he met him, has behaved very well everywhere.

Whether it is the art of war, martial arts, or layout planning, it can be a first-class choice.

It's rare to see him, and there are times when he miscalculates, and the father finally has the opportunity to "show" himself.

The old eunuch, as always, stood aside and served, but usually only one person was served, but now he had to pour wine for the two of them.

It seems that he has never had such an experience, and the old eunuch is also a little inexplicably excited, which is the feeling he has never had when he saw the two princes.

"Then the father will teach you a good lesson today, so that you can understand the opponent you are facing now."

"First of all, this Shi Miyuan, this person is also from a famous family. His father's name is Shi Hao, who has just been posthumously crowned King Yue this year, one of the twenty-four heroes of the 'Zhaoxun Pavilion', and Shi Miyuan is Shi Hao's third son. ”

"The biggest characteristic of this person is that he is greedy for power, almost to the point of obsession. likes to cover the sky with one hand, and all those who threaten his power will be eliminated by all means. ”

"By Shi Miyuan's side, the most powerful helper is what everyone usually calls the 'Four Trees and Three Murderers', who has almost completely controlled the six ministries and served as the secretary or squire of each department."

"After the last Mo Ze incident, it was easy for Yue Ke to become the head of the household, and finally among the high-level leaders of the six departments, there is a person who is loyal to the Great Song Dynasty."

"In fact, 'Simu' can be called a masterpiece of the moment."

"Xue Ji, there are talents of Chen Ping and Jia Xu. This person is not good or bad, and the starting point of everything is to let himself have a stage to give full play to his talents. ”

"Zhao Rushu, this person is still a member of my royal family. It's a pity that after the southern crossing, all the successive officials have intentionally or unintentionally guarded against the outstanding among the descendants of the Zhao family. ”

"After all, all the descendants of the Zhao family have a chance to inherit the throne in principle. This Zhao Rushu wants to say that there are still some ambitions, but more of them have no 'sense of security', so they are closer to Shi Miyuan. ”

"Hu Yu, this person is even more of a talented person, both military and political, he is already almost sixty years old, and he is now the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. This person is also the grandson of Hu Quan, a famous minister who resisted Jin, and he also advocated anti-Jin in his early years. ”

"Nie Zishu, although this person is also talented, he is even more greedy for money, and he is good at scavenging the people's fat and people's ointment, in the 'Four Woods', his talent may be ranked last, but his loyalty to Shi Miyuan is ranked first."

"In addition, the 'three murderers' are nothing to worry about, they are nothing more than ruthless and cruel people who have done a lot of evil things for Shi Miyuan."

Guo Mo sat there, listening quietly, and did not say anything.

The evaluation of Emperor Ningzong in front of him in the history books is not very good, and his reign of thirty years may be regarded as a bright spot.

When he was young, he was "ambitious and talented", and even launched the "Kaixi Northern Expedition", but unfortunately he was defeated in the end and paid more coins to the Jin country.

In the middle and late stages of the entire reign, he was completely hollowed out by Shi Miyuan, and even his last appointed heir was replaced by Shi Miyuan.

is such an official family, who actually looks at Shi Miyuan and his party who are hollowing himself out.

After Guo Mo heard this, he couldn't help but shudder, it seems that he really underestimated these "ancients".

None of these people who play politics are simple, and maybe one day if they are not careful, they will fall into a place of no return.

Guo Mo stood up and respectfully saluted the official's family.

"Thank you daddy for mentioning it, my son will definitely be more cautious in the future and dare not be careless."

"Alright Mer, you've done a very good job. Daddy must also practice the exercises diligently, strive to live for a few more years, and also see with his own eyes what you can eventually grow to. ”

"Among the 'four woods', it would be unwise to kill with one shot."

"Zhao Rushu said that this person can be fought for first; You yourself are strong, and if you really stand in the position of the Great Song Dynasty, thinking about that Hu Quan may not really stand in your way. ”

"Xue Ji, whether this person can be used or not, everything depends on your grasp. Nie Zishu said that once the time is ripe, it is better to dispose of it. The remaining two of the 'three murderers' are not to be worried. ”

"It's a pity, my Great Song can't find a talent to be a Zaifu now, Mo'er, your burden is very heavy, and you have to slowly cultivate your own power."

Guo Mo very much agrees with the suggestions put forward by the officials, and it seems that today is really worth the trip.

"Daddy, I originally entered the palace today, and my son wanted to ask about the war horse. Before, when he went to Shi Miyuan's mansion, he promised to solve the 'Dunwu Army' with 5,000 war horses. ”

Finally, Guo Mo still did not forget the purpose of his entry into the palace this time.

"You kid, do you think that if he Shi Miyuan can solve the matter of the war horse, I, a dignified official, can't do anything?"

At this time, the old eunuch standing next to him interjected.

"I don't know, more than a month ago, the official family ordered the old slave to secretly collect war horses and secretly send them to Meng Zongzheng, the general of Zuo Wuwei, to raise."

"Although the number is not too much, the victory is that they are all excellent war horses, and more than 2,000 have been sent." "Placed near Jingshi, it is difficult to hide people's eyes. When the master's 'Dunwu Army' is completed, he can send the 'Dunwu Army' to Jingxiang with any order. ”

Guo Mo was a little ashamed, he was still thinking about Mo Ze's fifty horses, but he didn't expect that his father had secretly prepared more than two thousand for himself.

And hearing Meng Zongzheng's name, Guo Mo knew that this was also a general in the army, and it seemed that the official family still had some power in their hands.

Thanks to Meng Zongzheng's "loyal army", there are more than 20,000 people.

"Hehe, it seems that Jiang is still old and spicy, and Daddy is really bright and prepared."

Guo Mo said with a hippie smile.

"Hey, I really don't see it usually, you kid still has the potential to be a courtier."

The official family also rarely seized the opportunity to ridicule his son.

Although the issue of the war horse has been settled for the time being, Guo Mo still said his words in Shi Miyuan's mansion again.

"Mo'er, although the Mongol army is strong, it is not something that can be fought within ten years, with the Western Xia and Jin Kingdom in front of us, we have plenty of time to prepare."

"As for what you said, let them toss hard, save their minds from moving elsewhere all day, and it is good to consume the strength of Meng, Xia, and Jin."

"Do you know why I said that Zhao Rushu may have seen through your identity?"

Guo Mo shook his head, he really didn't know what went wrong with him.

"Because of your appearance, your appearance is at least eight points similar to your father when he was young, but Zhao Rushu is one of the few people who saw his father when he was young."

Guo Mo suddenly realized, so that's the case.

He really ignored this, thinking about last year, Feng Heng also revealed his background because of his appearance.

"Mo'er, my father suggests that when the time is right, you can secretly go to Zhao Rushu's mansion and talk to him face-to-face."

"Let him know more of your hole cards, for example, you are not only my son and son, but also His Royal Highness the 'Yan King' who holds the world's soldiers and horses."

"And your identity as a Jianghu person with outstanding martial arts skills is also a layer of protection in itself. He knows that the more hole cards you have, the less you dare to act rashly, ride the wall with your attitude, and even fall against you. ”

"Over the years, this person has also recommended a lot of talents for the imperial court, and if you can win this person, you can also get a lot of help in one fell swoop."

"He is a royal man, and it is not an exaggeration for you to call him 'Uncle Huang'. How to do it, you can grasp it yourself. ”

"Even if it is really self-defeating and revealing one's identity, does anyone dare to be unfavorable to you and my father and son? Do you really dare not kill people as an official? ”

......

Before the second watch, Guo Mo left the palace.

This time was the longest conversation between Guo Mo and the official family, and it also made him know his father more clearly.

It seems that over the years, the official family has also been able to get by because they have been suppressed by Shi Miyuan.

I am afraid that more often than not, if you think that you have no flesh and blood to survive, you will completely lose your confidence and motivation to work hard.

Now, in less than half a year, the official family's body has gradually recovered, and it is even stronger than in the past.

The guards of the entire palace are also completely in the hands of the officials, and the "Imperial City Division" has gradually resumed its former functions.

An unprecedented "martial arts" can be regarded as a little invigorating the hearts of the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty.

promoted Yue Ke to be the head of the household, promoted Liu Kezhuang to Jiaxing as the prefect, and eliminated Mo Ze, one of the "three murderers", and befriended Meng Zongzheng, a powerful general in the army......

This pile, piece by piece, is being carried out in an orderly manner.

And the most important thing is that the official family found their biological son, who also won the championship in one fell swoop and became the champion of martial arts.

and commanded the "Dunwu Army", and also led the "Imperial City Division", and was His Royal Highness the "King Yan" who did not reveal his identity.

In the deep palace, the official family actually did one thing, and he didn't even tell Guo Mo about this matter.

The official family has been sleeping in Funing Palace or Qinzheng Hall for more than four months, and they have not been to Empress Yang again on the grounds of physical discomfort.

In other words, Empress Yang is, in a sense, under house arrest.

"Mo'er, Mo'er—"

After returning from the palace, Guo Mo has been thinking about these things, and unconsciously insomnia, until it is almost five watches, he fell asleep in a daze.

When he was sleeping deeply, he heard a shout outside, as if it was the voice of the fourth master, "Nanshan Qiaozi" Nan Xiren.

Guo Mo opened his eyes and found that the sky had already dawned, and he had really overslept.

"Fourth master, wait a moment, let me get up."

Nan Xiren didn't expect that Guo Mo hadn't gotten up at this hour, so he had to go to the front hall to wait for him first.

Seeing that the breakfast sent from the "Sanyuan Building" was already cold, he ordered his subordinates to run and bring another one.

There was not much time, and Guo Mo had already finished washing.

"Fourth Master, is something wrong? You're coming early in the morning? ”

After Guo Mo finished speaking, he found that the sun had risen, and I was afraid it was almost noon.

"Come and see, this is the information just sent, the beggar gang is scheduled to hold a beggar gang meeting in Junshan in Dongting Lake on the sixth day of the first lunar month."

"We have received reliable news that 'Western Poison' Ouyang Feng will take his nephew Ouyang Ke to go, and there is also a masked old man accompanying him, and martial arts should not be under 'Western Poison'."

"There are some other sideways, and most importantly, it seems that the people of the Jin Kingdom are also involved."

"The Jin army stationed in the area of Dengzhou, there are about 5,000 cavalry, intending to move towards Jingxiang, led by the famous general Wanyan Heda of the Jin State, a Meng'an under his command."

"Fourth master, do the people of the Jin Kingdom also want to interfere in this beggar gang conference?"

Guo Mo was a little puzzled, how could the Jin army also be involved in such a Jianghu incident?

"I'm afraid that's the case, after all, Uncle Ouyang and nephew are now representing the interests of the Jin Kingdom."

"There is another piece of news, which has not yet been confirmed, Jing'er seems to have also appeared in Dongting Lake, and is still with the people of the beggar gang, if this is the case, I am afraid he will be in danger."

Hearing Nan Xiren say this, Guo Mo knew that Guo Jing might really be in big trouble this time.

"Fourth master, on the sixth day of the first lunar month, there is still half a month left before now, and I want to go to Dongting Lake in person."

The reason why Nan Xiren came to Guo Mo was actually to let him go, whether it was Ouyang Feng, the "Western Poison", or the masked master who was not inferior to Ouyang Feng, it was not something that ordinary people could deal with.

It's just that because of Guo Mo's current identity, even if he is worried about Guo Jing's safety, it is not good to directly say that Guo Mo will pass.

"I'll write a few letters now, and the master will send someone to deliver them."

Guo Mo wrote a letter to Huang Rong first, the safety of the eldest brother Guo Jing cannot be ignored, it seems that this New Year cannot be spent with Rong'er, not to mention that she is still pregnant, and the guilt is indescribable.

He wrote another letter and sent it to the camp in the south of the city, telling Meng Hui and Yue Ao that they had important matters temporarily and could not participate in the selection and training of the "Dunwu Army", and let them make their own arrangements.

The most important thing is that the final equipment of the "Dunwu Army" is listed in detail.

Each sergeant should be equipped with a horse, a longbow, a crossbow, a spear, a ring-headed sword, and a hand shield.

bluntly said that these military needs could not be given to the household department, so let Yue Ao go directly to his father.

Qin Ju and Wang Jian were transferred, leading fifty soldiers, equipped with two horses and three days of dry food, waiting in the camp, and they arrived in two hours.

Originally, Guo Mo also planned to write a letter to the palace, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was better for him to go in person.

Since taking office, Guo Mo has never entered the palace with a public identity, which will somewhat attract the attention of people with a heart.

"Fourth master, now you can go to the palace with me."

Guo Mo is going to leave for a while, and the "Dunwu Army" has Meng Heng with them, and Guo Mo believes that it will operate normally.

And his position of "mentioning the Imperial City Division" can only be taken by the fourth master for the time being, and Guo Mo also wants to take this opportunity to officially recommend the fourth master to the imperial court.

The food from the "Sanyuan Building" was just delivered, Guo Mo simply took two bites, and rode to the palace with Nan Xiren.

In addition to the canonization ceremony of the "Daqing Palace", Guo Mo came to the palace for the first time during the day, and today he deliberately wore his official uniform of "mentioning the Imperial City Division".

Nan Xiren didn't come less, after all, he had been in contact with the affairs of the "Imperial City Division" with Lu Chengfeng a few months ago, and the Suwei Palace was also one of them.

It's just that this part of his men and horses is not a regular guard, and every time he receives an order temporarily, he sends people to the corresponding palace to be on duty.

The specific time and place must be subject to the arrangement of the old eunuch, no one knows the details in advance, and there seems to be no law at all, which is where the old eunuch is cautious.

The two took out their tokens and entered the "Li Zhengmen", and someone had already entered to report.

At this time, the official family also came back from the early court just now, ate something, and reviewed the folds in the "Qinzheng Palace".

"Official, the master and his fourth master Nan Xiren are here, waiting outside the hall for you to meet."

The old eunuch came to the official's house and whispered.

"This kid, it's the first time you've asked for such a formal meeting? I'm a little uncomfortable. Inform the imperial dining room, send some food over, and let Xiao Qi and the two of them come in directly. ”

Guo Mo and the others didn't wait long before the old eunuch personally picked it up, with a smile on his face.

"Guo Dutong, the official family is waiting for you inside, please hurry up."

This made it a little difficult for the other officials waiting next to him, especially one of them, who was in his fifties.

I've been waiting for a while, how did this person get met as soon as he came?

However, he noticed that Guo Mo and the others were wearing the official uniforms of the "Imperial City Division", so he didn't dare to say more, but just snorted coldly, secretly holding back.

A well-wisher who knew about it comforted him.

"Nie Shilang, you left Beijing on business some time ago, I'm afraid you don't know this person, right?"

"This is Guo Mo, the martial champion of the new department, and now the official worship of the 'Dunwu Army' is under control, and he also leads the 'Imperial City Division', which is the time when the spring breeze is proud."

"Look at the sword hanging from this person's waist, the 'Chixiao Sword' knows, right? That's Shi Xiangye's old man's beloved thing, don't you understand, Lord Nie? ”

This official didn't say it so clearly, in fact, he was telling this Nie Shilang that this Guo Mo couldn't be easily provoked, and he could eat in front of the official family and Shi Xiang, how much energy is this?

"Oh, he's Guo Mo?"

Recalling last night at Shi Xiang's Mansion, Shi Xiang's instructions to everyone, this Nie Shilang's anger suddenly dissipated a lot.

"Does Xiao Qi have anything? Nan Sixia, please take a seat. ”

When the official family saw them coming in, they didn't have much of a fight, especially in front of Guo Mo, the division commander.

He knew that over the years, his son had been raised and cultivated by these people, and he was full of gratitude to these chivalrous warriors in the rivers and lakes from the bottom of his heart.

The two also hurriedly came over to greet the salute, and then sat down on the side, and the wine and food in the imperial dining room had already been delivered.

"It's almost time for dinner, let's eat some together when you two come."

Nan Xiren was still a little restrained, but Guo Mo didn't have so many concerns, he knew that if he couldn't let go, the fourth master estimated that this meal would not be steady.

"Daddy, I'm here to bid you farewell."

Then, Guo Mo told the news brought by Nan Xiren.

"Go to Junshan's 'Beggar Gang Conference' to meet my eldest brother Guo Jing, and at the same time see if there is a chance to eat the five thousand cavalry of the Jin Kingdom, which has five thousand war horses."

Guo Mo made no secret of his greed.

"You, it's really not worrying. However, now that the garrison of the Jin State on the Song-Jin border has been reduced by one-third, this operation should not be the intention of the Emperor of the Jin State, and Mo'er can rest assured that he can do it boldly. ”

"Just use the gold medal in your hand to mobilize Meng Zongzheng's army if necessary, and the name of 'King Yan' should also be beaten."

When the official family heard this, they were also a little enthusiastic and tried their best to support their son.

"Daddy, after I leave, you can help watch the 'Dunwu Army' in the south of the city, don't let people bully you, the main thing is military supplies, maybe a little more than elsewhere."

"In addition, the position of my son's 'Imperial City Division' will be taken by the fourth master for the time being, and if there is a shortage of manpower, you can find it from the 'Dunwu Army' that is training."

"Select those who are not very suitable for the battle formation, and some of them are Jianghu people who are promoted this time, and they practice the rules in the army, and then transfer them out to use, which is also more convenient."

For his son's request and arrangement, the official family naturally agreed, and instructed Guo Mo to be careful.

The two left the palace and went about their own business.

Guo Mo returned home, cleaned up briefly, changed into civilian clothes, brought the things to use, and rode the yellow horse to the camp in the south of the city.

"Who's coming? The barracks are heavy, and idle people are not allowed to trespass. ”

Seeing that Guo Mo was about to enter the camp on horseback, the sergeant guarding the door asked.

Guo Mo hurriedly got off the horse, took out his big order and handed it over.

When he walked up, the soldiers standing guard also saw clearly that the person who came was his immediate boss, the commander of the "Dunwu Army".

Hurriedly gave a military salute and handed the token back.

"Please forgive me for the responsibilities of my subordinates."

"Haha, you did a good job, after the change of guard, go to Meng Dutong to receive fifty taels of silver as a reward for your dedication."

Guo Mo patted the sergeant on the shoulder and walked into the barracks.
