Chapter 674 Life and Death

Guo Ning returned to the inner house and waited for a while on the verandah at the door, only to find that it was Mrs. Wen who said inside that the delivery room was tainted with filth and was not suitable for nobles to enter.

Guo Ning is not used to this kind of words.He smiled and waved his hands, then pushed away the servants who were blocking the way, and strode into the house.

There was indeed a lingering smell in the room, but with the windows open on both sides, fresh air kept pouring in.There are screens in front of and behind the windows, and there is a stove under the screen, so it is very warm.

Guo Ning saw Lu Han lying on the bed, covered with a thick quilt, his hair was messy and soaked through.There were also beads of sweat on her forehead, the side of her nose, and her chin.A servant woman set up a basin by the bed, soaked a clean towel in hot water, and slowly dried her hair.

Seeing Guo Ning approaching, Lu Han pursed his lips and said weakly, "What are you doing here?"

Guo Ning sat on the edge of the bed, took a towel and wiped his hands, then held Lu Han's hand, and said softly: "Thinking that Ah Han has suffered for me, I feel very sad. Come in now, It's too late."

Lu Han smiled, and held Guo Ning's hand a little tighter, perhaps because her mental and physical strength was almost exhausted, she was a little drowsy, and stopped talking.

After a while, she woke up again: "Did you read it, kid?"

Guo Ning had been sitting next to Lu Han, and when he heard Lu Han's question, he looked around and asked, "Not yet... where is the child?"

Lu Han showed a puzzled look, and the servant who was tidying up beside him couldn't help laughing.

It turned out that the child had been washed and wrapped, and was placed beside Lu Han, surrounded by her arms.Because the folded quilt covered half of his face, Guo Ning didn't pay attention at all.

Guo Ning held the child in his arms and looked at it slowly.

Lu Han looked at his husband and children, and said softly, "It's a little small, with all the features on its face, and a little ugly."

"It's not ugly, it's not ugly, as long as it grows." Guo Ning couldn't stop looking at it.

Lu Han smiled and said, "Guess what I did when he was first born?"

"Where can I guess, tell me."

Lu Han said with some pride: "I picked him up, counted his fingers, and then counted his toes. They are so thin that they can't be seen clearly. Only by counting can we find out that there are ten of them!"

"It's not a trivial matter. You really have to count it before you can rest assured." Guo Ning nodded repeatedly.

The two chatted for a few more words, and Ni Yi, who was outside, said: "Marshal, Xu Yu urgently asks to see you."

Guo Ning smiled: "Please wait a moment."

Turning around to talk to his wife again, he saw a sudden vigilance on Lu Han's tired face.She immediately raised her hand to take the child: "Xu Yu is not an ignorant person, so she wouldn't disturb me randomly at this time... He really has something urgent, right? You go!"

Guo Ning was a little guilty, but the woman in front of him was Guo Ning's wife and his childhood partner. He knew that Lu Han was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, alert and decisive, she was definitely not an ordinary woman.

"Don't worry, it's not urgent, I have already made arrangements."

Guo Ning pressed Lu Han's shoulder, got up and said: "Our child is a lucky one. On the day he was born, I will clean the city of Zhongdu, and it will be clean!"

Guo Ning strode out, Xu Yu immediately greeted him.

"how to say?"

Guo Ning kept walking, and asked while walking outside.

"We haven't officially announced the news of the marshal's birth. But now, most of the people in the central capital know the news. I reckon that those colleagues who went back to prepare gifts spread rumors on the way, so it's not like this Quick way, therefore, it must be the servants in the mansion who have committed traitors."

"Have you found out?"

"The people around Madam are all old people from the Feijunhe camp. There is no problem. It was found that four of them were looking for opportunities to send messages to the outside world. They are asking who is behind it."

"After the news spread, what's the situation in Central Capital?"

"The marshal defeated Mongolia, restored order in the central capital, and gave everyone food to eat, so he was deeply supported. After hearing the news, many people came out to celebrate in spite of the curfew. There were also merchants at various city gates, drinking and snacking, Even distributing money for auspiciousness, please bless the words."

"I, Guo, have only been stationed in Zhongdu for half a year. At most, I have given the people enough to eat. Why do I have to support them so much? That's because money can communicate with gods, but I don't know, how do they get away with it? "

"At the same time, there were no less than a dozen groups of people who came out to distribute money. According to the previous rough reports, most of them were given at [-] ren per person; at Tongxuanmen and Xuanyaomen, there were also [-] renminbi per person."

"I'm afraid that tens of thousands of people will be gathered at this time, and each person will be [-] yuan, which is a big investment."

Guo Ning spat casually, kept walking, and continued to ask: "You should send people to patrol as usual, have you not revealed any flaws?"

Xu Yu said: "On my side, people from the Recording Department and the Metropolitan Inspection Department are all being sent out, and some available people from the Central Metropolis Police Patrol Academy are also being used one after another. After all, most of them are ordinary people, and we dare not Forcibly stop."

"At most, after another moment, someone must be causing trouble among the gathered crowd, and it is very likely that people will die. At that time, you have to act quickly and don't worry too much."

"Yes."

"In addition, the arsenal, the grain depot, the money depot and other places will sooner or later be noisy."

Guo Ning said to Ni Yidao: "Tell Dong Jin that he should transfer people from the Marshal's Mansion to quell the chaos, and follow the rules. Don't hesitate. If we want to catch big fish, we have to be willing to take the bait."

"Yes."

Guo Ning went straight to the arsenal on the edge of the school field.In the arsenal, hundreds of personal guards have already put on their helmets and armor.These are quick-witted and brave men drawn from the whole army. They have already anticipated what Guo Ning will do at this time. Without exception, everyone's eyes are eager, and the weapons in their hands are particularly cold.

Several personal guards came up and began to put on armor for Guo Ning.

The turban was tied tightly, the military robe was closed, the green velvet armor was neatly hung, the iron pocket was put on straight, and the collar was closed. Guo Ning spread his arms, and the layers of fine steel armor collided with each other, as if the dragon scales were expanding, making a crisp sound.

"correct……"

Guo Ning remembered something: "Clean up a few quiet rooms in the commander's mansion, and keep them far away from each other. I guess after a while, some people who feel bad will come out... These people may as well give them a way to survive. But we also need to scare them, and we can’t let them connect easily.”

"I'll do it right away." Ni Yi turned and went out.

Holding Tie Guduo in his hand, Guo Ning stomped his feet, felt the tightness of the armor silk sash around his lower body, and nodded with satisfaction.

"It's not unreasonable for the Jurchens to be reduced to such a state. Pu San Anzhen is already unworthy of her reputation, and Pu San Duan was even pushed out to die. A truly smart person must be able to understand the current situation. For the Jurchens, the situation without change is the best situation. As long as the Jurchens' high-ranking officials and nobles are still in power, and the Jurchens' emperor is still in the palace, things on the table will not be too much. Over time, they can slowly figure out a way to make a way for themselves.”

"It's a pity that there are too many idiots in the Jurchens." Xu Yu smiled.

"Yes, there are too many idiots. They didn't expect that it was not the Jurchens who especially wanted the situation to change, but a certain group of Han officials in the capital city."

Xu Ting nodded: "These officials have no loyalty to the Great Jin Dynasty, but they are extremely displeased to see the Marshal promote education and talents in the army, and continue to promote subordinates and officials from the army to enrich the Marshal's Mansion and the Privy Council. .Because of the simplicity of the Marshal's Mansion and the Privy Council, there is never a need to be a person of splendid writing. And this kind of atmosphere affects the court a little bit, which means that in the future we will take away little by little what was originally in their hands .”

Guo Ning's face sank like water, and he continued: "So they very much hope that I can do something as soon as possible, such as further controlling the central government, and then completely breaking with Dajin, assuming a posture of changing the dynasty. Because, when I want to change the dynasty in a short time Regarding edicts, books, etiquette, systems, and even countless trivial details, they cannot be separated from this specific group of people. In my new dynasty, this group of people must be absorbed and quoted, so many things must gradually follow their rules. If you think about it, many trends will be slowly led by them..."

Speaking of this, Guo Ning's words did not fluctuate, and he only said calmly: "The Jurchens are really stupid...but these people are not very smart."

Guo Ning opened his mouth to say Xinchao Yunyun, he has no scruples, but Xu Yu is not easy to answer casually surrounded by attendants.At that moment, he bowed slightly: "Although the Jurchens are stupid, they still have some strengths. Marshal, please be careful."

"By virtue?"

"We are in the Marshal's Mansion, surrounded by so many loyal soldiers. It is absurd for the Jurchens to think that they can take us down with those crooked miscellaneous soldiers. I guess they will always come up with Some bottom-of-the-box skills pose a little threat to us."
