Where is the sword of the reborn eagle

"Yes, just now when I entered the East Palace, I happened to meet a woman walking out, wearing the same light veil covering her face. After so many years, it seems that she has never changed."

Guo Mo opened his eyes wide, looking at Nan Xiren in disbelief.

It turns out that "Mu Qiu" is actually Murong Qiudi?

Guo Mo was a little bit regretful, he should have thought of it a long time ago, a woman of that age from Xixia, with such a high skill, who else could it be besides Murong Qiudi?

"Mu Qiu" is just a simplification of Murong Qiudi.

"Fourth master, do you know who this 'Mu Qiu' is?"

Guo Mo asked cautiously, even a little afraid of irritating Nan Xiren in front of him.

Seeing Nan Xiren's slightly confused eyes, Guo Mo knew that he was still kept in the dark.

Guo Mo personally poured a glass of wine for the fourth master, filled it himself, and then told Murong Qiudi's name, identity, and background one by one, and even mentioned her age.

"So that's it, haha, she is actually from the Murong family, and also the concubine of the Supreme Emperor of Xixia."

Nan Xiren smiled miserably, Guo Mo could see his inner struggle and helplessness.

"Four masters, let the past pass by. It's better to take pity on the people in front of you than to look far away. From now on, Murong Qiudi will be her Murong Qiudi, and Mu Qiu will always be the Mu Qiu in your memory. "

Guo Mo slowly picked up his wine glass, looking solemnly into Nan Xiren's eyes.

"Haha, well said, I didn't expect that as a master, I would need my own apprentice to unravel it, and punish myself with three cups..."

Three glasses and three glasses, maybe wine can't relieve sorrow, but it can really make people temporarily forget the unhappiness in their hearts.

This is just a small episode in the complicated and ordinary life, it is really over when it passes, Nan Xiren didn't mention it again, and Guo Mo naturally wouldn't say more.

Everything went according to the established plan. On June [-], a grand wedding was held at Nan Xiren's mansion.

Because of the participation of His Royal Highness Guo Mo, all the officials and generals in Lin'an City either came to congratulate in person, or at least sent someone to send congratulatory gifts.

Even Zhao Kuo, an official, sent a valuable congratulatory gift, and personally wrote four big characters - Tiancheng, a good couple, packed it up and sent it over.

After getting married, Jin Yufeng naturally moved away from Peach Blossom Island. For the sake of the happiness of the fourth master, Guo Mo arranged for Jin Yufeng a position in the "Imperial City Division".

He knew that his fourth master would not be able to do such a thing, and with the lessons learned from the "black wind and double evil", Guo Mo was also happy to be a good person again.

The day for going north to worship ancestors was set on August [-], the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The reason why the official Zhao Kuo set off so early was that he wanted to see the newly acquired territory of the Song Dynasty along the way.

There are too many stories and feelings in the land of the Central Plains, Zhao Kuo could only learn about it from memorials or books before.

Now you can go for a walk and have a look in person, what kind of comfort and pride is that?

A team of more than 1 people can only travel dozens of miles a day.

Zhao Kuo, who is sixty years old this year, is in good spirits. Most of the time, he doesn't like to stay on the emperor's chariot, but rides a free horse and gets together with other generals.

Going north to worship ancestors, the real place of worshiping ancestors is not in Bianliang, but in Henan Prefecture. The specific location is Yong'an County under Henan Prefecture.

This Yong'an County can be regarded as a functional county, and it is only more than 200 years old.

In the fourth year of Jingde in the Northern Song Dynasty, Yong'an County was set up in the west of Gong County, the east of Yanshi, and the north of Dengfeng to protect the Song Mausoleum.

There are more than [-] mausoleums in the Song Mausoleum, covering the remaining seven emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty except the Huiqin Emperor, plus the mausoleum of Zhao Kuangyin's father Zhao Hongyin, collectively referred to as the "Seven Emperors and Eight Tombs".

Surrounding the eight imperial tombs, there are more than [-] tombs of empresses, tombs of royal family members, and tombs of famous generals and ministers, including the tombs of ministers such as Kou Zhun and Bao Zheng.

Unfortunately, at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Liu Yu, the emperor of the "Great Qi" supported by the Dajin Kingdom in the Central Plains, once carried out a large-scale robbery of the Song Mausoleum.

After the Dajin Kingdom occupied the Central Plains, the buildings of the Song Mausoleum were completely destroyed, and all the treasures were stolen.

After Guo Mo regained Henan Mansion, he organized people to rebuild the Song Mausoleum, and Zhao Rushu, who is a descendant of the royal family, was naturally the person in charge of this matter.

After several years of continuous repairs, the eight imperial tombs have all been restored to their original appearance, and some of the later tombs and the tombs of famous ministers have also been repaired.

The Yong'an Mausoleum of Xuanzu Zhao Hongyin, the Yongchang Mausoleum of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, and the Yongxi Mausoleum of Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi, where nine concubines were buried and 140 descendants were buried with them.

In Yongding Mausoleum of Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng, three empresses were buried, and the tombs of ministers were buried with them: Gao Huaide, Cai Qi, Kou Zhun, and Bao Zheng. This place is called "Wolonggang".

The Yongzhao Mausoleum of Song Renzong Zhao Zhen and the Yonghou Mausoleum of Song Yingzong Zhao Shu, where two empresses and five princesses were buried, and the tombs of ministers buried with them include: Zhao Pu, Yang Yanzhao, Di Qing, etc.

The Yongyu Mausoleum of Song Shenzong Zhao Xu and the Yongtai Mausoleum of Song Zhezong Zhao Xu are the tombs of eight queens and four princesses.

When Bianliang was captured last time, some treasures of the Northern Song royal family were found in the imperial palace of the Kingdom of Jin, and Guo Mo brought them back to Henan Mansion. Zhao Rushu returned them one by one to the Song Mausoleum according to the relevant documents.

As the second mausoleum of the Song Mausoleum, Yongchang Mausoleum is actually the first mausoleum of the Song Mausoleum. The founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, is buried in it. It is also the most comprehensive and grandest of the eight imperial mausoleums. Mausoleum.

The bottom of Yongchang Mausoleum’s platform is more than sixteen feet long, and the height is about five feet. The cemetery is basically a square, with a length of eighty feet from east to west, north to south, and a gate in the center of each of the four sides.

The gate site is about six feet wide, and a pair of stone lions are placed outside the gate. The distance between the south gate of the cemetery and the Rutai is less than fifty feet, but the distance between the Rutai and the Magpie Terrace is slightly longer.

The distance between the east and west of the Errutai is sixteen feet, and the distance between the east and west of the two magpies is eighteen feet.

Between the south gate of the cemetery and the Rutai is the Shinto. The distance between the east and the west of the Shinto is fifteen feet. There are various stone elephants arranged symmetrically.

There are two pairs of stone horses and horse controllers, two pairs of stone tigers and two stone sheep each, three pairs of "vassal envoys", four pairs of civil servants and military officials. Palace people.

On August [-]th, Zhao Kuo and his entourage arrived in Yong'an County. The crown prince Taifu, Minister of the Ministry of Justice Zhao Rushu, Henan economic strategy appeasement envoy and Henan prefect Du Gao, and the commander of the "Yue Family Army" Yue Ao had already been waiting here.

Zhao Kuo and all civil and military officials had a rest for one night, and then spent the Mid-Autumn Festival night together.

The Song Dynasty was a prosperous dynasty, and the festivals were also rich and colorful. Appreciating the moon is the most important festival activity of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"In the mid-autumn night, your family decorates the terraces and pavilions, and the folks compete to occupy the restaurant to play with the moon, and there is a lot of silk and bamboo. Residents near the inner court can hear the sound of the shengyu in the middle of the night, just like outside the clouds. The children in the village play all night long. The night market in Piantian, As for understanding."

When Song people admired the moon, they often held moon worship activities.

The so-called worshiping the moon is to burn incense in the courtyard to worship the moon god and express one's wish for blessing.

For example, the middle-class family, the men seek to "go to the toad palace early and climb up to the fairy osmanthus", so the poet at that time had the sentence "the people at that time were not surprised to enter the imperial examination early, only for the sake of Chang'e's love for young people".

And women wish to "look like Chang'e, with a face like a bright moon".

In addition to worshiping the moon, drinking is also a great hobby of the world.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the rich drank and sang songs, and the poor also bought wine with their clothes, "we reluctantly welcome, and refuse to waste money".

The past year has been smooth, and Guo Mo's brewery has opened branches in Chang'an and Bianliang. It still controls the supply of "Hero Drunk" and has always followed the high-end route.

However, "Song Bai" has opened up its supply, and even ordinary people can buy a pot of it during the New Year and holidays.

Appreciating the moon, drinking wine, and then naturally writing poems is inevitable.

It's a pity that as soon as Su Dongpo's "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" came out of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the rest of the words were lost.

When the wine was full, the bright moon was in the sky, and the autumn wind was blowing. The official Zhao Kuo also ordered everyone to write poems to congratulate him, and his own ministers greeted them with poems.

Not to mention that Zhao Kuo thought it was so-so, even Guo Mo, who was next to him, felt that it was boring.

This time going north, Guo Mo didn't bring too many people. The team was already big enough, and if he brought too many people, he was obviously asking for trouble.

And the two apprentices, Wu Nantian and Haji, are always by his side, Guo Mo is convenient to teach them both martial arts at any time, and if something happens, it is good to have an errand.

Guo Mo only brought half of the [-] "Brocade Clothes". Under the leadership of "Iron Palm Ruthless" Lu Pingsheng, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have some dignity.

Others were admiring the moon, drinking, and composing poems, but Guo Mo was just drinking, and he was accompanied by his two apprentices.

Originally there was no place for these two boys, but after everyone drank to the end, no one paid attention to the impolite etiquette, so these two boys simply sat on the ground beside the master.

Wu Nantian was better. Knowing his identity and the rules of this occasion, Haji was a little worse. After a dozen cups of "hero drunk", the boy's loud voice rang out.

Everyone saw that it was His Royal Highness's retinue, and some even knew that Haji was Guo Mo's apprentice, so naturally no one came to stop him.

"Master, what kind of poems do they make? It's too low-level, why don't you come and show them?"

Wu Nantian looked around and saw that no one noticed them, so he whispered to Guo Mo.

"Eating and drinking can't stop your mouth?"

Guo Mo gave Wu Nantian a hard look, he didn't want to be in the limelight.

For one thing, he didn't know how to compose poems at all, and the two poems that were circulated before were plagiarized.

Secondly, even if he can compose poetry, he can't overwhelm the audience, or if it is a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation, he is too embarrassed to stand up and write it.

"What? Master has good poems? Then write them out quickly. Master's writing must be a hundred times better than all of them, no, a thousand times——"

Well, Wu Nantian was stared back by Guo Mo, but Ha Ji, who was half drunk, overheard Wu Nantian's words.

As far as his loud voice is concerned, he usually speaks in a low voice, but now his voice becomes louder invisibly after drinking.

"Oh, the prince has a good sentence?"

Guo Mo's seat was not far from the official Zhao Kuo, even if there were a few courtiers who came forward to present poems, Ha Ji's voice could not be blocked.

"Father, don't listen to this bastard's nonsense, how can I have any good works."

Seeing that it was going to be bad, Guo Mo hurriedly stood up and denied it.

"Your Highness, don't be modest. Let's not talk about your two poems that were widely circulated in the early years. Even the poems in 'Fengshen Yanyi' were written by you?"

"You can't shirk this. The old minister has witnessed it with his own eyes, without any falsehood."

As the saying goes, it is hard to guard against house thieves.

When I wrote the "Fengshen Yanyi" at the beginning, it was purely to please Xiao Xiang'er. Later, seeing that everyone liked it, and I had nothing to do at that time, I simply "wrote" the whole book.

How about now, I originally wanted to shirk it, but I was betrayed by my apprentice first, and now I was betrayed by the prince and Taifu of my own house. Is it just that we fail as human beings?

"Haha, Prince, with Mr. Zhao's real-name recommendation, I'm afraid you won't be able to shirk it. Let's not talk nonsense, I will personally give you a lamp, and if you can write good poems, it's a good story."

As he said that, Zhao Kuo really stood up, and picked up the wine jug on his back, is he going to pour wine for Guo Mo?

"Hehe, since the officials have poured the wine in person, then the old man will study ink for His Royal Highness—"

As soon as the words were finished, another old man came by beside him, he was actually the retiring envoy of the Privy Council, once the head of all the officials, and now the Duke of Wei, Shi Miyuan.

The day when Guo Mo was established as the crown prince was the time when Shi Miyuan fell from power. In order to stabilize the overall situation, Zhao Kuo still gave Shi Miyuan enough dignity and rewarded him with a Duke of Wei.

However, except for the false name of the Duke, all other positions were erased.

Shi Miyuan fell, but the officials didn't bother him, and they couldn't stand the small officials who were in charge of specific affairs secretly making troubles.

The county magistrate might as well take care of it now, and find a fault with you today, saying that you have violated the regulations, and find another fault with you tomorrow, saying that you have exceeded the regulations.

After more than a year, many industries under Shi Miyuan's name have been harassed or even merged.

Shi Miyuan was also a person who covered the sky with one hand, so he naturally understood the way, but unfortunately, the situation is stronger than others now.

For these unexplainable things, he can't go to the court to sue, even if he sues, will someone really come to help him out?

Besides, how much of his family property, whether it is real estate or land deeds, is clean?

Later, Shi Miyuan simply thought about it, and directly distributed most of his property to several sons, and some of them were even sold at a low price, leaving only the mansion with the plaque of "Wei Guogong" and a house outside the city. Manor and [-] acres of paddy fields.

This time the official Zhao Kuo went north to worship the ancestors. In addition to leaving the necessary officials on duty, he brought along the civil and military ministers of the fifth rank and above in the court. Wei Guogong Shi Miyuan was naturally also on the list.

Zhao Kuo, who holds the "Imperial City Secretary" in his hands, naturally understands Shi Miyuan's actions over the past year.

Now, Shi Miyuan has lost all his power, and he can no longer make troubles.

And the Song Dynasty completely destroyed the Dajin Kingdom and recovered most of the territory of the Dajin. Zhao Kuo's mind seemed to become more open-minded with the expansion of the Song Dynasty's territory, and it was no longer the state of mind when he was in a corner.

Especially after Li Zunxu, the supreme emperor of Xixia, died of illness, Zhao Kuo seemed to see a lot more, what intrigue, wealth and power, didn't they all come to nothing in the end?

Therefore, after Zhao Kuo saw the list of going north drawn up by the Ministry of Rites, he mentioned Shi Miyuan's name a lot.

However, for a title like the Duke of the State, the officials say you are useful only if you are useful. If the officials can't remember you, I'm sorry, you are a complete empty shell.

The official Zhao Kuo poured the wine, Wei Guogong Shi Miyuan studied ink, and the crown prince and Taifu Zhao Rushu rushed to spread the rice paper for Guo Mo and handed him the wolf hair.

Guo Mo was dumbfounded.

What does this mean?

Have you been beaten by three old men?

"Haha, Prince, you see that all civil and military officials are looking at you. You, the number one talented person in Song Dynasty today, won't just admit defeat like this?"

"Your Highness, it's okay to admit defeat. If you see the 'Hero Drunk' that hasn't been opened yet, you can just pour it down, and the old minister can be regarded as a step down."

What kind of bullshit is "the number one talented person in the Song Dynasty today", isn't that referring to "Xu Zhonglin"?

As soon as "Fengshen Yanyi" came out, it immediately caused an uproar. Some people were fascinated by the stories in it, some applauded the poems in it, and some applauded the characters in it.

Because the author of the book wrote the name "Xu Zhonglin" at that time, those who have good things called "Xu Zhonglin" the number one talented person in Song Dynasty today.

Guo Mo is now forced to forget that he is "Xu Zhonglin".

"Write" poetry, or drink a jar of wine?

Looking at the eager gazes around him, Guo Mo knew that he had no choice, and it seemed that he had to do Wen Chao Gong again.
