"know."
"Then do you know why that person proposed to give you this sword?"
"do not know."
Guo Mo finally let go of the fast son.
"You child, you are still too young. If I predict correctly, your identity may have been questioned by that person."
"what?"
Guo Mo shuddered, and sat there blankly...
Chapter 197 Message Implementation
"Why, don't you believe what your father said?"
Seeing Guo Mo's shocked expression, the official felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.
My son, since we met, has behaved very well everywhere.
Whether it is military art or 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. The father finally has the opportunity to "show" himself.
As always, the old eunuch stood by and waited, but usually he only needed to serve one person, but now he had to pour wine for two people.
It seemed that he had never experienced such an experience before, and the old eunuch was also a little inexplicably excited. This was a feeling he had never had when he saw the two princes successively.
"Then as a father, I will teach you a good lesson today, so that you can understand the opponent you are facing now."
"First of all, let's talk about Shi Miyuan, who is also from a famous family. His father's name is Shi Hao. He is the king of Yue who was crowned just this year. He is one of the 24 heroes of the 'Zhaoxun Pavilion'. Shi Miyuan is Shi Hao's third son."
"The biggest characteristic of this person is that he is greedy for power and position, almost obsessed. He likes to cover the sky with one hand, and anyone who threatens his position will try his best to get rid of it."
"The most powerful helpers around Shi Miyuan are the so-called 'Four Woods and Three Evils', who have almost completely controlled the six departments, serving as ministers or servants of each department."
"After the Moze incident last time, it was very difficult for Yue Ke to become the Minister of the Household Department. Finally, among the top six departments, there is a person who is loyal to the Great Song Dynasty."
"In fact, 'Simu' can be called a momentary hero."
"Xue Ji has the talents of Chen Ping and Jia Xu. This person can't be said to be good or bad. The starting point of everything is to give himself a stage to display his talents."
"Zhao Rushu, this person is still a member of my royal family. It is a pity that after the Nandu, the successive officials have consciously or unconsciously guarded against the outstanding descendants of the Zhao family."
"After all, all the descendants of the Zhao family have the opportunity to inherit the throne in principle. This Zhao Rushu still has some ambitions, but most of them are close to Shi Miyuan because they don't have a 'sense of security'."
"Hu Ju, this man is even more talented. He is well versed in both military and political affairs. He is almost 60 years old and is now the Minister of Industry. This man is also the grandson of Hu Quan, a famous anti-golden minister, and he also advocated anti-golden in his early years."
"Nie Zishu, although this person is also talented, he is more greedy for money and is good at collecting people's fat and anointing. Among the 'Four Woods', talent may be ranked last, but his loyalty to Shi Miyuan ranks first."
"In addition, the 'Three Evils' 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, without speaking.
According to the history books, the evaluation of Emperor Ningzong in front of him is not very good. His 30 years of reign may be regarded as a bright spot.
When he was young, he was "great and talented", and even launched the "Kaixi Northern Expedition", but unfortunately he was defeated in the end and paid more coins to the Kingdom of Jin.
During the middle and late stages of his administration, Shi Miyuan completely emptied him out, and even his last appointed heir was replaced by Shi Miyuan.
It's just such an official who knows everything about Shi Miyuan's party who makes himself look like a fool.
After hearing this, Guo Mo 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 situation beyond redemption.
Guo Mo stood up and saluted the official respectfully.
"Thank you dad for your reminder. My son will definitely be more cautious in the future and dare not be careless."
"Okay, Mo'er, you've done very well. Daddy must also practice the exercises diligently, try to live a few more years, and see with his own eyes how far you can grow in the end."
"Among the 'four woods', it would be unwise to kill them with one shot."
"Zhao Rushu, you can fight for this person first; you are strong, and you are really acting from the standpoint of Song Dynasty. If you think about it, Hu Quan may not really block your way."
"Xue Ji, whether this person is available or not depends on your grasp. Nie Zishu, once the time is right, it's better to deal with it. The remaining two of the 'Three Ominous' are nothing to worry about."
"It's a pity, my Song Dynasty can't find a talented prime minister now, Mo'er, you have a heavy burden, and you have to slowly cultivate your own power."
Guo Mo strongly agrees with the suggestions made by the officials. It seems that today's trip is really worthwhile.
"Father, my son originally wanted to ask about war horses when he entered the palace today. Before, when he went to Shi Miyuan's residence, he promised to solve the 'Dunwu Army' with [-] war horses."
Finally, Guo Mo still did not forget his purpose of entering the palace this time.
"You boy, do you think that Shi Miyuan can solve the matter of the war horse, and I, a dignified official, can't do anything?"
At this moment, the old eunuch standing beside him interjected.
"Young master doesn't know something. More than a month ago, the officials ordered the old slave to secretly collect war horses and secretly send them to Zuo Wuwei General Meng Zongzheng to raise them."
"Although the number is not too many, the advantage is that they are all excellent war horses. More than 2000 horses have been sent over." , you can send the 'Dunwu Army' to Jingxiang."
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 2000 horses for himself.
Moreover, upon hearing Meng Zongzheng's name, Guo Mo knew that he was also a veteran general in the army. It seemed that the officials still had some power.
Anyway, Meng Zongzheng's "Zhongshun Army" has more than 2 people.
"Hey, it seems that Jiang is still old and hot. Daddy is really bright and ready for a rainy day."
Guo Mo said with a hippie smile.
"Hey, I really haven't noticed it at ordinary times. You kid still has the potential to be a jester."
It is rare for the officials to seize the opportunity to ridicule their own son.
Although the matter of the war horse has been resolved for the time being, Guo Mo still repeated what he said at Shi Miyuan's residence.
"Mo'er, although the Mongolian army is mighty, it won't be able to fight within ten years. With Xixia and the Kingdom of Jin standing in front of us, we have plenty of time to prepare."
"As for what you said, let them toss about it vigorously, so as not to spend the whole day thinking about other things, and it will be good to consume the strength of Meng, Xia, and Jin."
"Do you know why I said that Zhao Rushu might have seen through your identity?"
Guo Mo shook his head, he really didn't know where he went wrong.
"Because of your appearance, your appearance is at least [-]% like that of your father when he was young, but Zhao Rushu is one of the few people who met his father when he was young."
Guo Mo suddenly realized that this is the case.
He really ignored this point. Thinking about last year, Feng Heng also revealed his life experience because of his appearance.
"Mo'er, I suggest you for my father, when the time is right, you can secretly go to Zhao Rushu's mansion and have a face-to-face talk with him."
"Let him know more of your cards. For example, you are not only my parent and child, but also His Royal Highness 'King Yan' who holds the world's soldiers and horses."
"And your status as a Jianghu person with outstanding martial arts is also a layer of protection. He knows that the more cards you have, the less he dares to act rashly. His attitude is sitting on the wall, and he even falls on you."
"This person has also recommended many talents for the imperial court over the years. If you can win this person, you can also get a lot of help in one fell swoop."
"He is a member of the royal family, and it is not too much for you to call him 'Uncle Emperor'. How to do it, Moer, you can decide for yourself."
"Even if it's really self-defeating and revealing our identity, does anyone still dare to harm you and my father and son? Do you really think that the official family dare not kill people?"
......
Before the second watch, Guo Mo left the palace.
This time, it was the longest conversation Guo Mo had with the officials, and it also allowed him to get to know his father more clearly.
It seems that in these years, the officials have muddled along because they were suppressed by Shi Miyuan.
I'm afraid it's more that if you think that you have no flesh and blood, you will completely lose your confidence and motivation to work hard.
Now, in less than half a year, the official's body has gradually recovered, even stronger than before.
The guards of the entire imperial palace are also completely in the hands of the officials, and the "Imperial City Secretary" has gradually resumed its former functions.
An unprecedented "martial arts" can be regarded as a little boost to the hearts of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty.
He promoted Yue Ke to be the servant of the household department, promoted Liu Kezhuang to Jiaxing to be the magistrate, and even eradicated Mo Ze, one of the "Three Evils", and befriended Meng Zongzheng, a powerful veteran in the army...
All these piles, one by one, are proceeding in an orderly manner.
And the most important thing is that the official family found their own son, and this son won the championship in one fell swoop and became the champion of martial arts.
He also commanded the "Dunwu Army" and the "Tidian Imperial City Secretary", and he was also the undisclosed His Royal Highness "Yan Wang".
In the deep palace, the officials actually did another thing, which he didn't even tell Guo Mo.
The official family has been sleeping in Funing Palace or Qinzheng Palace for more than four consecutive months. They have not been to Empress Yang's place again because of physical discomfort.
In other words, Empress Yang was, in a sense, placed under house arrest.
"Mer, Moer—"
After returning from the palace, Guo Mo has been thinking about these things, unknowingly, he suffered from insomnia, and did not fall asleep until it was almost five o'clock.
When he was sleeping deeply, he heard a shout from outside, which seemed to be the voice of the fourth master "Nanshan woodcutter" Nan Xiren.
Guo Mo opened his eyes and found that it was already dawn, and he had really overslept.
"Fourth master, please wait a moment and let me get up."
Nan Xiren didn't expect that Guo Mo hadn't woken up at this hour, so he had to go to the front hall to wait for him.
Seeing that the breakfast delivered from the "Sanyuan Building" was already completely cold, he ordered his servants to run to bring another copy.
Time is running out, Guo Mo has finished washing.
"Fourth master, what happened? You came here early in the morning?"
After Guo Mo finished speaking, he realized that the sun had already risen, and it was almost noon.
"Let's take a look, this is the information just sent over. The beggar gang is scheduled to hold a beggar gang meeting in Junshan, Dongting Lake, on the sixth day of the first lunar month."
"We got reliable news that 'Xi Du' Ouyang Feng will go with his nephew Ouyang Ke, along with a masked old man, his martial arts should not be inferior to 'Xi Du'."
"There are also some other heretics, and most importantly, it seems that Jin people are also involved."
"The Jin Kingdom's army stationed around Dengzhou has about [-] cavalry, intending to move towards Jingxiang. The team is led by the famous Jin Kingdom general Wanyan Heda, one of his subordinates, Meng'an."
"Fourth master, don't the Jin people also want to interfere with this beggar gang meeting?"
Guo Mo was a little puzzled, how could Jin Guo's army also participate in such a Jianghu incident?
"I'm afraid that's the case. After all, uncle and nephew Ouyang represent the interests of the Kingdom of Jin."
"There is another piece of news, which has not yet been confirmed. It seems that Jing'er also appeared in Dongting Lake and was with people from the Beggar Clan. If this is true, he may be in danger."
Hearing what Nan Xiren said, 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. I want to go to Dongting Lake in person."
The reason why Nan Xiren came to see Guo Mo was to let him go. Whether it was "Western poison" Ouyang Feng, or a masked master who was not inferior to Ouyang Feng, ordinary people could not deal with it.
It's just that because of Guo Mo's current status, even if he was worried about Guo Jing's safety, he couldn't just let Guo Mo go.
"I'm writing a few letters now, please send someone to deliver them."
Guo Mo first wrote a letter to Huang Rong. The safety of his 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 beyond words.
He wrote another letter to the army and sent it to Daying in the south of the city, telling Meng Gong and Yue Ao that he had important matters at the moment and could not participate in the selection and training of the "Dunwu Army", and let them make arrangements by themselves.
Most importantly, it lists in detail the equipment that the "Dunwu Army" will eventually be equipped with.
Each sergeant should be equipped with a horse, a longbow, a hand crossbow, a long spear, a ring sword and a hand shield.
To put it bluntly, the Ministry of Household Affairs could not provide all these army needs, so Yue Ao went directly to his father.
Tiao Qin Ju and Wang Jian led fifty fierce soldiers, with two horses and three days of dry food, waiting for orders in the camp, and he arrived in two hours.
Originally, Guo Mo planned to write a letter to the palace, but after thinking about it, he thought it would be better for him to go there himself.
Since taking office, Guo Mo has never entered the palace in public, which will attract the attention of interested people.
"Fourth master, now you go to the palace with me."
Guo Mo will be away for a period of time, and the "Dunwu Army" has the Meng Communist Party, and Guo Mo believes that it will function normally.
And for the time being, he can only let the Fourth Master take up his position of "promoting the Secretary of the Imperial City". Guo Mo also wants to take this opportunity to formally recommend the Fourth Master to the imperial court.
The food from "Sanyuanlou" just arrived, Guo Mo simply took a few bites, and rode with Nan Xiren to the palace.
Except for the canonization ceremony of the "Daqing Palace", it was the first time Guo Mo came to the palace during the day, and today he specially wore his official uniform of "promoting imperial city secretary".
