Where is the sword of the reborn eagle

After many inquiries, Ouyang Ke did come back a few months ago, but he was not in the White Camel Villa at this time. It is said that he was invited by the royal family of the Xiliao Kingdom, while the "Xi Du" Ouyang Feng stayed there all the time. In the villa.

Now that Ouyang Ke is not here, the two of them naturally no longer approach the White Camel Villa. Is "Xi Du" Ouyang Feng so easy to get along with?

However, if Ouyang Ke is really invited to leave by the royal family of Xiliao, this matter will be troublesome.

Because the capital of Xiliao Kingdom is too far away.

Husi Ordu, the capital of the Western Liao Kingdom, has already left the territory of China according to the geographical location of later generations. It is located in Burana City in Tokmak, Chuhe Prefecture, Kyrgyzstan, later generations.

After several confirmations, the two of them saw that staying there was of no avail, so they simply rushed back, and only after more than a month, they returned to Zhongxing Fucheng.

……

After hearing Lu Chengfeng's words, Guo Mo was also very depressed. Did he have to go thousands of miles away to Husi's ear in order to hunt down and kill Ouyang Ke?

Guo Mo thought about it again and again, but he still felt that it was not appropriate to do that. Let alone the distance, how much trouble would it cause if he, a king of a country, rashly did such a thing?

In the end, Guo Mo came to the front of the book, picked up a pen and wrote a letter of credence to the current ruler of the Western Liao Kingdom, Qu Chulu.

To say that this Western Liao Kingdom, as a descendant of the Yelu family, hated the Dajin Kingdom in the same way at the beginning, and even took advantage of the fire to loot it, came thousands of miles away, and carried out the Eastern Conquest of Dajin.

As the enemy of the Great Jin Kingdom, the Xiliao Kingdom also sent envoys to Lin'an to seek cooperation and trade with the Great Song Dynasty.

It's a pity that at that time, Shi Miyuan was still in power in the Great Song Dynasty, and he was completely servile to the outside world, and gave the Dajin Kingdom every year. How could he dare to cooperate with the Xiliao Kingdom to deal with the Dajin?

However, even so, the relationship between Xiliao Kingdom and Song Dynasty has never been broken. Even when Guo Mo ascended the throne a year ago, envoys from Xiliao Kingdom came to congratulate him.

Guo Mo wrote this letter very clearly, listing all kinds of evil deeds of Ouyang Ke and Brother Tiemu, hoping that Qu Chulu can catch these two and send them to Zhongxing Mansion in Xixia.

It's hard to say about Ouyang Ke, but Guo Mo felt that Qu Chulu should be very interested in Brother Tiemu. After all, he himself was defeated by Brother Tiemujin back then, and was forced to go west to Western Liaoning. of.

The letter of credence was sent away, and Guo Mo could only wait. After all, it would take two or three months to go from Zhongxing Mansion in Xixia to Husiwuer in Xiliao, right?

It seems that nothing can be done a year ago. In this way, in the victory of sweeping the Mongolian iron cavalry and taking all Xixia, the new year ushered in, and the Song Dynasty also entered the "Second Year of Hongwu".

……

Bianliang City, Taiqing Palace.

The Supreme Emperor Zhao Kuo is holding his first court meeting after the new year. According to Guo Mo's intention, the time of the Song Dynasty's court meeting has been postponed by an hour.

The courtiers no longer have to deal with the "Dianmao" moment, and the morning court is scheduled to start on time at Chenshi. Compared with the "Chaojiu" of later generations, it still takes an hour in the morning.

"Everyone, the eight hundred miles from Xixia is in a hurry. The elite 'Dunwu Army' of the Great Song Dynasty has swept across the entire northern part of Xixia years ago and wiped out the remnants of the Mongolian cavalry."

"From now on, there will be no hostile forces in the territory of Xixia. In other words, His Majesty the Emperor of Song Dynasty has fully controlled the entire Xixia, hahaha—"

As soon as he went to court, Zhao Kuo couldn't restrain his inner excitement, waving the battle report he just received last night.

This is the son's first victory since he ascended the throne, right?

This battle is already the same as going to another country. Although Xixia is still under the rule of the Xixia Empress, everyone knows that the Xixia Empress is the Concubine Shu of the Great Song Dynasty!

Moreover, the news that Murong Yan was pregnant also spread back to Bianliang City.

Murong Yan didn't manage the government affairs very much in the first place, and now she is several months pregnant, so she stays in the Hao Palace and doesn't come out.

Of course, Guo Mo didn't take the opportunity to monopolize the power of the court and China. He didn't need to take action at all. Putting Du Gao there can completely settle the matter.

Some are happy, and some are emotional, such as our little girl Guo Xiang.

Since she was taken to Bianliang City, she has not been able to see her father. Guo Mo is not here, and the little girl has no interest in making fun of others.

There were a bunch of boys to take care of, Huang Rong didn't have the energy to take care of this girl, so she simply threw her and Yang Guo to "Dongxie" Huang Yaoshi.

Huang Yaoshi was naturally overjoyed, he overheard Huang Rong mentioning that Guo Mo had called Guo Xiang "Little Dongxie", the old man was very happy to hear that.

You know, among so many sons and daughters, Guo Mo himself loves and loves little Guo Xiang the most. She is a clever little girl, who is less than nine years old, and she can learn any martial arts easily and thoroughly.

It's just that the children are still young, so they are not allowed to compete directly with each other, but according to Huang Yaoshi's observation, Yang Guo and Guo Xiang's martial arts are probably much higher than other children.

The two of them were taken out separately, and they were also intentionally treated differently. As the children grow up, they must have different development directions and goals.

Didn't you see that half a year ago, old Zhao Kuo had already taken over Guo Yi?

Eight or nine-year-old children have to stay with Zhao Kuo for half a day every day. They either take him to the court to sit and listen, or take him to review the memorial and explain it together.

Now there are very few memorials that can be sent to Zhao Kuo. It is good to have three or five a day, and most of them are digested directly in the "cabinet".

This mode made Zhao Kuo feel extremely relaxed. He could grasp the core events of Song Dynasty without making himself too tired, and had energy and time to do more things.

Why didn't the old man think of it before?

Zhao Kuo even complained to Guo Mo, thinking that this kid must have known such a method a long time ago, but he just refused to say it, and he didn't use it until he became the emperor himself.

In fact, Zhao Kuo wronged Guo Mo a little bit.

Since ancient times, the struggle between monarchy and ministerial power has never stopped. Zhao Kuo only moved Shi Miyuan down a few years ago. How dare Guo Mo propose to let the "cabinet" handle the big and small affairs of the court?

The reason why it was brought up later was that he was really lazy, or he didn't really like doing those drudgery tasks.

Second, the current cabinet members are all people he can absolutely trust, and they have also withstood the test of "history", so Guo Mo can naturally use them with confidence.

Guo Yi followed Zhao Kuo, under the influence of his ears and eyes, he was actually very interested in these matters, and sometimes even discussed and argued with Zhao Kuo.

Zhao Kuo liked Guo Yi's performance more and more. He felt that with this grandson, Da Song would not have to worry about having no successors for at least 50 years.

"Great Song Wansheng—"

"Great Song Wansheng—"

I don't know who yelled first, and then there were shouts one after another in the Taiqing Hall.

"Xue Qing—"

"Chen is here!"

Xue Ji, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, came out of the class to play.

"The emperor sent a letter saying that you are asked to strictly control this year's spring. In addition to those people from the 'Hongru Academy', in May and June, send two hundred qualified officials to Xixia Dugao."

When Zhao Kuo said this, the whole person was smiling, and his eyes were full of joy.

"Taishanghuang, Your Majesty, this is... is this going to take Xixia?"

Everyone understood the meaning of Zhao Kuo's words, Xue Ji was also very excited.

As the Minister of the Ministry of Officials of the Song Dynasty, he was in charge of the daily assessment and evaluation of the entire official system of the Song Dynasty. Later, under Guo Mo's advocacy, learning, training, assessment and re-employment were added.

At the beginning, Xue Ji felt that this was changing tricks to toss people, and so repeatedly, where would the embarrassment of Song Dynasty officials be placed?

However, after executing it a few times, he found that some officials who could only talk in rhetoric, or who could only write in words, were really screened out.

These people don't understand the people's livelihood at all, and they don't understand the way of management. Maybe they are suitable for other positions, but it is a bit difficult for them to be magistrates, or even county magistrates.

Guo Mo didn't open his mouth to Xue Ji easily, but every time he asked for someone, there were dozens of people asking for it, and this time it was even more exaggerated and directly asked for 200 people.

Do you think it's a big radish, and you can make up enough by just picking it up?

These 200 people must be able to pass the test in the examination room and have to undergo at least one month of training. If they have time, they must go to the corresponding prefectures and counties in Henan for so-called "internships" according to Guo Mo's regulations. a month.

However, since His Majesty the Emperor wanted 200 people for Xixia, how could this be to change the entire civil service system of Xixia?

"Well, the letter didn't say it clearly, and I don't want to make wild guesses, but even though Xue Qing is preparing, she will use it sooner or later, hahaha——"

In the first meeting of the new year, there are not many important things, except for sharing Guo Mo's battle reports and letters, which is a highlight of the year "spring plowing".

It has been two years since Henan was completely taken over, and the cultivation of grain has always been a matter that Guo Mo has been focusing on.

Today's conditions make it impossible to open up a large granary in the Northeast. In addition to the rice in the south, the great plain in Henan, which is suitable for planting, is especially important.

Once the war is completely over and the great unity is restored, population growth is imperative.

Moreover, Guo Mo's own brewing workshops have now grown to six, with Luoyang as the headquarters, from Zhongdu in the north, Lin'an in the south, Chang'an and Yinzhou in the west, and Bianliang City.

The number of winemaking workshops has increased, and the corresponding food demand has also increased a lot. It is better to plan ahead than to be helpless when things happen.

In the new year, everything seems to be going well, but unfortunately, there is still a bad news.

Yushitai's censor Zhongcheng Wei Jing fell ill. Wei Jing was 71 years old and was the oldest among the ministers with real power in the court.

Back then, Zhao Kuo was forced to bring him back from the state of retirement, but now he really can't do it anymore.

In fact, old Weijing's health has been poor since years ago, he took vacations every three days, until he completely collapsed after the New Year.

After the imperial court, Zhao Kuo personally took the imperial physician to the old Wei Jing's mansion, and the nine-year-old Guo Yi was also with him.

Fortunately, Zhao Kuo is not the emperor now, otherwise it would be difficult for old Wei Jing to think about his visit.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this old minister will really beg for bones this time, cough cough..."

As soon as they met, Wei Jing who was lying on the bed didn't even have the strength to struggle, and said weakly.

Zhao Kuo moved the stool by himself and sat down in front of the bed, while Guo Yi stood beside him.

"Wei Qing, the emperor sent a letter, telling you to take good care of yourself, and you don't need to beg for bones. In the words of the emperor, this is called 'paid leave'."

"This is an imperial edict just sent by the emperor, ennobling you as 'Xiangfu Gong', the fief is in Xiangfu County outside Bianliang City, how close it is, you can live here steadily. "

Zhao Kuo handed Wei Jing an imperial edict that he had prepared long ago, and received the emperor's imperial edict, which was to salute and thank him.

Wei Jing couldn't move, his son Wei Pu, who was serving at the side, quickly fell to his knees and accepted the imperial edict for his father.

"Cough cough cough, the emperor, I heard that His Majesty won another battle in Xixia? It's a pity, I'm afraid the old minister won't be able to wait for His Majesty's triumphant return."

"In this life, I can see with my own eyes my great master of the Song Dynasty going north to the Central Plains and returning to the old capital. I can see my master of the Great Song Dynasty expand the territory of Dali and Megatron Xixia, and even include more than half of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun in my Great Song Dynasty. territory."

"Old minister, I am satisfied. Even if I go to see Emperor Taizu now, I can still talk to him for a long time, cough cough..."

"You old guard, why can't you think about it so hard? You belong to Yushitai, you don't belong to the old man, even if you are going to die, you still have to wait for your doctor Yushi to come back, right?"

Zhao Kuo reprimanded Wei Jing softly, but his own tears flowed out first.

"Haha, the Supreme Emperor, Your Majesty is a man of great talent and boldness. Forgive me for my honest words, he is much stronger than you, and I even think that he is stronger than the Emperor Taizu back then."

"The old minister is dying. I don't know who His Majesty plans to hand over this Yushitai to?"

After waiting for a long time, Wei Jing asked what he was most concerned about.

"Xiaoqi has made arrangements to transfer Wei Liaoweng back, and let him take the position of your censor Zhongcheng, and add 'Wenyuange Grand Scholar' to join the cabinet."

This was something that Guo Mo had already arranged in the last letter, and Wei Liaoweng had also entered Bianliang City years ago.

"Okay, Wei Heshan is a man of outspokenness, better than the old minister. He is a descendant of Wei Zheng, the famous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. With him here, the old minister can feel at ease."

Wei Jing stopped talking and closed his eyes gently.

"Wei Pu, you must stay by your father's side uninterruptedly. Once something happens, send someone to the palace to report it. I will leave these two imperial doctors at your house for now."

Knowing that Wei Jing could hear him, Zhao Kuo looked at Wei Jing on the bed, and then at Wei Jing's son, Wei Pu.

"When your father's health is better, you also go to the Ministry of Officials to go through the formalities, and you can go to Yushitai to work. Young people start from the grassroots and hone their skills."

After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, he turned and left, but he didn't see the tears falling from the corners of Old Weijing's eyes.

Chapter 321 The Banquet of the Hongmen

Rebirth: Where Does the Sword of Shooting the Condor Return Chapter 321: The Banquet of the Hongmen

On March [-]rd, when spring returned to the beautiful Central Plains, there was a light snowfall at the junction of Xixia and Xiliao.

The "Dunwu Army" has been stationed here for more than two months, but they have not waited for the reply from the King of Xiliao. The Meng Communists are reading the books in the army tent, but Zhao Chengyu is a little impatient.

"Meng Shuai, what are you talking about, it's snowing, shall we just wait here forever?"

They have sent three notes to the West Liao State, and each time the messenger came back, they said that the West Liao State would give a reply immediately.

It's a pity that more than two months have passed from the year before to the year, but there is still no news from Hu Si's Ordo.

"Report—report to Meng Shuai, a few people came to the barracks and said they were sent by His Majesty, and the last general recognized the two seniors 'Black Wind Shuangsha' who were leading the charge."

At this moment, a school lieutenant came in from outside the tent to report.

"Oh, hurry up and go out with me to meet—"

After the Meng Communist Party and Zhao Chengyu joined forces, Guo Mo temporarily gave the Meng Communist Party the title of "General Conquering the West" for the convenience of unified command, as the commander-in-chief of the army.

Although the "Black Wind Shuangsha" does not serve in the army now, many years ago, it was also the commander of the Yanwang Guard Army, and it can be regarded as the same level as the Meng Communist Party.

What's more, the two of them are senior brothers and sisters of the current Empress of the Great Song Dynasty. Even His Majesty the Emperor wants to address them as senior brothers and sisters, and Meng Gong naturally has to give them enough courtesy.

Sure enough, a few people came to the gate. The two standing in the front, Meng Gong recognized at a glance as "Black Wind Shuangsha".

At the end, there are also four people standing in a row, all dressed in brocade clothes, wearing a large cloak, and carrying a goose feather knife on their waists, are they actually from the "brocade clothes"?

There was another person standing in the middle, wearing a felt hat, perhaps because it was too cold, and wearing a black cloak with the collar turned up.

Seen from a distance, almost the whole body of this person is covered up, and only when he gets close can he see the exposed eyes, mouth and nose.
