"Don't worry about it, I heard that you have beautiful women in your house, you won't be enough, right?" Yan Tao looked at Mo Cong in surprise as he ate.

"Are there too many beauties?" Mo Cong retracted his gaze and smiled.

After eating, Yan Tao asked the housekeeper to make more tea and send it to the study, Mo Cong had too many questions in the morning, and he had to continue to ask questions when he saw this posture, although Yan Tao said that his throat was a little uncomfortable, but he still decided to answer all questions.

Mo Cong consulted Yan Tao on the two most important things at the moment, the first was the emperor's preparation for marriage, and the second was the identity of those people in his house.

"So you wanted to ask about these two things, and I thought it was the other two. Yan Tao took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, and said: "The first thing is very simple, you just need to find someone to tie the knot before the emperor and the princess make a decision, as long as the dust settles on your side, the princess of Rui Kingdom will not be able to be your concubine anyway." The seventh princess's infatuation with Chen Ruoping cannot be reversed in a short period of time, and it is just enough time for you to deal with it. ”

"What about the second one?" Mo Cong asked.

"The second thing wasn't meant to be. Yan Tao said, "Those people in your house were all kindly selected for you by the emperor, there is no malice, and those people will never dare to harm you, you can rest assured." ”

"I just looked at them as if they were scared, so I felt uncomfortable. Mo Cong said, "In addition, I don't know if there are any eyes and ears sent by the emperor among them, and my heart is always unsteady." ”

"Your requirements are quite high, do you still have to let others serve you willingly?" Yan Tao smiled. "As for the eyes and ears, what eyes and ears are you worried about? If you sit in the house, you may even be able to hear the sound outside the street, and the movement of the entire mansion is even more visible, and it is impossible for others to hide from you if they want to make small moves, so why should you not be sure. ”

"That's right, but it's always like a thief guarding against this and that, is that home still a home?" Mo Cong sighed with a smile.

"Do you care so much about that mansion, are you planning to stay in the capital for a long time?" Yan Tao looked at Mo Cong strangely.

"What, does anyone not want me to live in the capital for a long time?" Mo Cong asked.

"Not really, it's just that I'm curious. Because you have always come and gone mysteriously and low-key, I don't understand that you have lived in the capital for a long time. Yan Tao said.

"I have my own understanding of this. Mo Cong said, "The capital is to me what the battlefield is to the recruits, if you always stay in the barracks, the recruits will always be recruits, do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand when you say that. Yan Tao smiled. "But the battlefield in the capital is very deep, I suggest you don't act rashly, many things can still maintain the status quo if they don't move, and if they move, they will be chaotic. ”

"I know this, that's why I came to ask you for advice. Mo Cong said, "Sometimes I can't figure it out, people like Zhao Rong are not only overwhelmed by their responsibilities, provoking the rebellion of the previous dynasty and the morale of the Korean army, but also conniving at their relatives to dominate the people." Why does the emperor want to use such a person? I looked at the emperor yesterday and didn't seem to be confused, so why should I pretend to be confused like this?"

"This is the so-called Imperial Heart. Yan Tao smiled, "Zhao Rong's ability is insufficient, but his courage is also insufficient, such a person is obedient, easy to control, and incompatible with the military, don't you think such a person is the most suitable person to be the commander of the Internal Affairs Department?"

"I see. Mo Cong also laughed. "Then you mean you won't let me touch him?" he asked, after a moment's thought.

"This... I think it's time to beat it or to beat it. Yan Tao shook his head, "Zhao Rong has been big in the past few years, his cousin's Blue Dragon Gang has developed to the whole country, and all the iron ore ore and wood and other resources procured by the Internal Affairs Department are traded internally by his relatives or henchmen, and it is really outrageous to use the money of Rui Guo to make his own fortune." The reason why the treasury of the previous dynasty has been tight for many years is largely because of this. That mutiny almost scared Zhao Rong to death, and finally made him restrain a little, but in the past year, the emperor has worked hard to govern the country, and the country of Rui has been peaceful again, and Zhao Rong's greed has shown signs of raising its head. ”

"Since this is the case, then please tell me about the Zhao family's forces in Rui Kingdom one by one, and I will decide how to do it after thinking about it thoroughly. Mo Cong said, "I have considered uprooting the Zhao family before, and what you said has strengthened my determination." ”

"Uprooting may not be useful, Zhao Rong will rise up another Zhao Rong if he falls, and maybe he will be even more greedy. Yan Tao said.

"Since you can't say it, let's try it and then talk about it, at least just because you knock down one and there will be another one, just let them run rampant like this, and don't give them a bloody lesson, whether it is him or his successor, it will be even more unscrupulous. Mo Cong said.

"Looks like you've got a lot of experience. Yan Tao smiled.

"Yes, soldiers don't work for nothing. Mo Cong also laughed.

The two talked again, and Yan Tao told Mo Cong in great detail about the Zhao family's power and minions in the country, whether it was the court or the people, whether it was in the capital or from other places, whether it was an official or a miner, all of them were clear and detailed. Yan Tao only dictated this information, and Mo Cong only used his brain to memorize it, and as the two talked, the blueprint of the Zhao family's forces had been built up in Mo Cong's mind little by little.

"Commander Yan, you are indeed an intelligence genius. Listening to Yan Tao's well-organized and coherent information, Mo Cong was impressed, and at the same time, his heart was even more strange. "You are the commander of the intelligence department, is it the intention of the imperial court or whose meaning?" he asked after a moment's thought.

"It's gold that always shines, just like you, haven't you entered the court's field of vision step by step. Yan Tao said quietly, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence to the cultivation and training of the old man.

"Then do you know our mental method?" Mo Cong asked, "I don't mean anything else, I just say that people like you must be guaranteed for safety." ”

"I don't know your mind, but it's absolutely fine in terms of safety, you can rest assured. Yan Tao smiled.

"That's good. Mo Cong took a sip of tea and said, "I also thought about the way you gave me to get married, my sister originally wanted to hold a simple wedding with me, invite a few acquaintances to attend, and get everyone's blessings." Since this is the case, then I will hold a wedding that kills two birds with one stone, and when the time comes, I will ask Commander Yan to appreciate the light. ”

"Are you married to your sister?" Yan Tao was surprised, although he knew some about Lingyun Mountain, he didn't know much, especially the secret matter of Lingyun Mountain's marriage, he had never heard of it with his extensive knowledge, not to mention that two Lingyun Mountain people were going to get married.

"Yes, we all have such thoughts, and we also want to get all the blessings we deserve, so many people who are difficult for us to inform have to ask Commander Yan for a lot of help. Mo Cong smiled.

"Speaking of which, you're back in circles. Yan Tao sighed helplessly, "Okay, since it's such a big thing, I will definitely do my best." ”
