Where is the sword of the reborn eagle

"If you have nephews or nephews who want to go into politics or the army, you might as well let them go to Ningxia to train for a few years. It's better than staying in the hinterland of the Central Plains or the rich Jiangnan to grow and improve faster."

"In addition, I have appointed the 'Dunwu Army' to control the Meng Communists as the general who conquers the west. I will personally lead an army of [-] to march westward, and we must smash the Western Liao Kingdom in one fell swoop."

"Haha, that's the Western Liao Kingdom, the entire territory is several times that of Ningxia—"

Thinking about it, the army of the Communist Party of Bangladesh has already launched an attack on Xiliao, and Guo Mo no longer has to keep this matter a secret.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Great Song Wansheng—"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, Great Song Wansheng—"

Following the shout of Wei Liaoweng, the new censor Zhongcheng, all civil and military officials in the "Taiqing Palace" also came out to shout.

"The Great Song Dynasty, and even the previous great unified dynasties, mainly focused on farming. However, the current Ningxia, including the soon-to-be-conquered Western Liao Kingdom, may even acquire other territories in the future, but they may not be suitable for farming."

"Yue Qing, this is a big problem. I hope that the Ministry of Household Affairs will take the lead to study this problem carefully. If there is no good solution, the value of Xinde Land will be greatly reduced."

Guo Mo himself has some ideas, but it is a pity that he is not yet mature. The so-called one person's wisdom is short, and everyone's wisdom is long. For such a major national issue, it is natural to brainstorm.

"Your Majesty's decree, I will send the relevant personnel of the household department to visit Ningxia and make sure to give His Majesty an answer within half a year, at least about the strategy of Ningxia."

Guo Mo was very satisfied with Yue Ke, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, returning to play.

This is an example of doing things in a down-to-earth manner. Whether it is farming or animal husbandry, you have to conduct field inspections before you can adapt to local conditions.

Didn’t future generations always say those things? If there is no investigation, there is no right to speak. Everything must be based on reality, and specific issues must be analyzed in detail, instead of talking behind closed doors and talking on paper.

Of course, this kind of thing cannot be done overnight. Guo Mo glanced at the left-hand civil servants, but he did not see Xue Ji, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

He didn't come to this kind of occasion, it seems that Xue Shangshu is not clear about his illness.

After all, Guo Mo just came back, and today it was only Guo Mo who rejected the reception of all the ministers and temporarily summoned everyone in the "Taiqing Palace", and there was not much to deal with.

After more than half an hour, Guo Mo announced the disbandment of the court, and all the ministers also filed out from the "Taiqing Palace", each busy with their own government affairs.

When the emperor returned to Bianliang, the yamen of various ministries virtually improved their office efficiency.

It is said that once the emperor and the courtiers, our Emperor Hongwu has not made a big move against the important ministers in the court, but he does not know that these important ministers, even those old courtiers, have been Guo Mo's "self" many years ago up.

"Daddy, my son has come to eat with you, are you ready?"

Guo Mo left the "Taiqing Palace", he didn't go to the harem to meet his wife and children, but rushed to the Funing Palace of the Supreme Emperor Zhao Kuo.

However, Murong Yan and Guo Shi, under the escort of "Jin Yi", went to the harem to meet Huang Rong and the others. The three sisters hadn't seen each other for many years, and they had endless things to say.

"They're all emperors, and they're still yelling, what's the point?"

Seeing Guo Mo enter Funing Palace, he actually took off the tassel hat on his head while walking.

"My son kowtowed to my father——"

Guo Mo could not abide by the rules, but his son Guo Yi did not dare to be presumptuous. He knelt down in front of Guo Mo in a respectful manner and paid homage.

"You boy, why did you become like this? Come to Daddy quickly and let Daddy hug you."

Seeing Guo Yi kneeling on the ground, Guo Mo suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

This son who was born with Guo Xiang is already ten years old this year, it seems that he has not hugged him much?

I have always heard in the reports that a few years ago my father sent a doctor of literature to give lectures on Peach Blossom Island, mainly to teach this Guo Yi.

In the past two years, Guo Yi has been brought by the Supreme Emperor Zhao Kuo every day. Now a child who should be lively and wild has been turned into a "good boy"?

"Daddy—"

Guo Mo's words actually made little Guo Yi break his defense in an instant.

Ever since he was a child, Guo Yi knew that his father liked his younger sister, but since he was an older brother, he naturally couldn't compete with his younger sister.

However, in Guo Yi's young heart, there is still a trace of loss.

Later, with several younger brothers, Guo Yi found that his father still only liked his younger sister, Guo Xiang, and gradually he got used to it.

But now, Dad actually talked to him in such a tone, and even said he wanted to hug him. Is this because my sister is not here?

Although Guo Yi still had some doubts in his heart, he stood up obediently and walked in front of Guo Mo.

"You boy, have you grown so tall? If it weren't for your father's martial arts skills, he wouldn't be able to hold you in his arms."

Guo Mo really lifted Guo Yi up, raised it high above his head, and walked around the Funing Palace a few times. Guo Yi also yelled a few times to express his excitement and surprise.

How much weight can a ten-year-old boy weigh?

It only weighs sixty or seventy catties, and with Guo Mo's kung fu, even if it is enlarged by ten or twenty times, it will not be difficult.

"Hey, you, you have ruined Yi'er for me just now. I don't know how much energy I will spend to make up for your destructiveness."

Looking at the nonsense of his son and grandson in front of him, old Zhao Kuo could only shake his head.

It's strange that he can tolerate it, and is even very happy that Guo Mo, as a son, talks nonsense and behaves in front of his father.

But from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want his grandson Guo Yi to learn like that. In the future, this child would inherit the Great Song Dynasty!

Guo Mo is already like this, or, in Zhao Kuo's heart, no matter what Guo Mo is or what he has become, his own strength and unique charm are enough to defend the Song Dynasty as impregnable as gold.

In other words, no matter how messed up Guo Mo is, he can handle the whole country of Song Dynasty clearly.

But what about the grandson?

Zhao Kuo was speechless, but he didn't know how to persuade his son.

But he thought in his heart that it would be better for his son to have less contact with Guo Yi in the future, and if he wants to Huo Huo, he will find other children. Anyway, there are still several grandchildren.

"Xiaoqi, don't run around anymore when you come back this time. The progress of the construction of the new palace in Zhongdu City was also mentioned in the report of old Cheng Yu a few days ago. According to the method you said, the construction speed is indeed faster. Some."

"The Hall of Supreme Harmony among the three halls is almost finished. The Hall of Martial Arts and the Hall of Wenhua are expected to be completed in May next year. We will also try to build a sleeping palace in the same period."

"Looking at it this way, if the time for moving the capital next year is set to the second half of the year, there is still plenty of time, but in the next few years, the entire palace will undoubtedly be under construction..."

Zhao Kuo had also seen the sketches of the imperial palace drawn by Guo Mo.

Zhao Kuo didn't understand why his son was so obsessed with Zhongducheng?

Even if you don't want to establish your capital in Bianliang, isn't there still Luoyang City?

Today's Luoyang City, and even the entire Henan Province, is a thriving scene, and Luoyang was originally the capital of the Han and Tang Dynasties. If the Song Dynasty also established its capital in Luoyang, it would also be able to control the Quartet.

However, what Zhao Kuo thinks is not important, what matters is what his son thinks, after all, Guo Mo is now the master.

"Father, I know this matter well, so let's set the time to move the capital in August next year. There is still more than a year left, and my son has to do something."

Guo Mo weighed it up. For him, Zhongdu City has a special meaning. Although hundreds of years have passed, the inner feelings are still inseparable.

Of course, neither the establishment of the capital, the capital city, nor the construction of the Great Wall can fundamentally solve the problem of the safety of the Great Song Dynasty.

Only the country is rich and the people are strong, the officials are clear and bright, and the army is strong, which is the guarantee for the long-term stability of the Song Dynasty.

"What are you going to do? Do you still want to leave Bianliang?"

Zhao Kuo is very clear about Guo Mo's temperament, and he also understands it very well. After all, his son grew up in the Jianghu since he was a child, and he can understand that he doesn't like to stay in the palace for a long time.

It is precisely because of this that he pays so much attention to the education of his grandson Guo Yi, and he has been trained in the direction of the crown prince since he was a child.

"Father, the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, which Taizu and the emperors of the Song Dynasty have been thinking about, have only returned half of them now, and the other half is still in the hands of the Mongols."

"After more than a year, my son will move the capital to Zhongdu City. Could it be that at that time, the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun cannot be fully recovered?"

Yanyun Sixteen States, also known as Youyun Sixteen States, refers to the sixteen states in the north centered on Youzhou and Yunzhou, namely bj in later generations, northern Tianjin, northern Hebei, and northern Shanxi.

They are Youzhou, Shunzhou, Ruzhou, Tanzhou, Jizhou, Zhuozhou, Yingzhou, Mozhou, Xinzhou, Guizhou, Wuzhou, Weizhou, Yingzhou, Shuozhou, Huanzhou and Yunzhou.

Of course, with the change of dynasties, some states have changed their names, and even withdrawn and merged long ago.

Even so, that piece of hot land is still there, and the Chinese descendants of the Central Plains still like to call it Yanyun Sixteen States, and are always ready to take it back, just like it has never been lost for hundreds of years.

What is still in the hands of the Mongols is mainly the states in northern Hebei and northern Shanxi.

"Are you sure about dealing with the Mongolian cavalry?"

Zhao Kuo himself was a little amused when he asked this sentence.

Deep down, Zhao Kuo still has a deep fear of the nomads in the north.

Over the past few hundred years, whether it was the Khitans, the Jurchens, or the Dangxiang people and the Mongols, the damage done to the Han people was both physically and mentally.

However, when I turned around and thought about my son's record, wasn't it built by stepping on the corpses of Jurchens and Mongols?

And the once glorious Dangxiang people have been completely conquered by his son, and even sent tens of thousands of troops to conquer the descendants of Khitan thousands of miles away.

"Haha, Dad, you don't have to worry about foreign wars. Today's Mongolia is not what it was ten years ago. Now, it may be very difficult for them to produce [-] cavalry."

"My son plans to go to Zhongdu City in the spring of next year. One hundred thousand 'Jingnan Army' will be stationed in Hebei. Can't they get back the land that originally belonged to the Han people?"

Guo Mo said so, but he thought more in his heart.

Since the capital is going to be established in Zhongdu City, how can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?

Although the entire Mongolia may not be completely wiped out, there must be a safe distance, right?

Otherwise, he could hit the capital at every turn, so would Da Song still be able to stand firm in the future?

"Well, since you have made a decision in your heart, just do it according to your wishes. Hey, I don't know if I should be lucky or feel unlucky when I meet your son."

"In all dynasties, the emperor went out and the prince supervised the country. Now, it's good. Your Majesty the emperor has gone out, but let me supervise the country, hahaha—"

Although Zhao Kuo was not forgiving in his mouth, he was very happy in his heart.

With a loud voice and a bright red face, Guo Mo discovered that the old man had already achieved a great success in the first stage of the "Nine Suns Divine Art" that he secretly taught to his father all those years ago?

Except for the grizzled hair, no matter how you look at him, he looks like a man in his fifties, and he has changed from his previous elegant demeanor, and now his body is much stronger.

"No wonder you gave me a younger sister..."

Guo Mo complained in his heart.

"Xiaoqi, Xue Ji's illness looks very serious, you should take the time to take a look, the bureaucracy he is in charge of has a heavy burden, you have backup candidates."

Although both of them thought that Xue Ji would recover, after all, given their age, even if they recovered from their illness this time, they should have a long-term plan.

"Daddy, what do you think of Yelu Chucai?"

Guo Mo seems to have a plan in mind.

"Yelu Chucai, since you exchanged him with 30 shi of grain, he first served as the magistrate of Xuzhou for a year, and then worked as the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture for more than three years."

"In the past two years, I have been in the 'Cabinet' and also served as Yi'er's lecture seat. Regardless of talent, qualifications, knowledge, or character, I feel that I am the best choice."

"Besides, you bought him in exchange for 30 shi of grain, and his son is your closed disciple. This old man thinks that this person can be of great use!"

Speaking of Yelu Chucai, Zhao Kuo calmly recalled the past few years, especially in the past two years, Guo Mo was in Xixia, and Zhao Kuo was in Bianliang, so he naturally had a good idea of ​​the big and small affairs of the court.

Although they are all magistrates, it is not easy to be the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture.

There are princes and ministers everywhere, and if a tile falls from the roof, it may hit any powerful person, so many people are not willing to be magistrates in the capital.

There was a joke in later generations, "If you were not good in your previous life, you will be a magistrate in this life; if you did evil in your previous life, the magistrate will be attached to the country; if you are full of evil, you will be attached to the provincial city of Guo".

From this point of view, if he was the magistrate in the capital, how much evil did he do in his previous life?

Of course, if you are really capable and strong enough to be the magistrate of Kaifeng Prefecture well, then the achievements you have achieved are obvious to all.

Don't you see, during the Renzong period of the Northern Song Dynasty, Bao Xiren, who sat upside down in the Southern Yamen, relied on his selflessness, integrity and integrity, and made great achievements at that time and became famous in later generations.

Since both the emperor and the Supreme Emperor were satisfied with Yelu Chucai, this matter was basically settled, but out of respect for Xue Ji, Guo Mo wanted to ask Xue Ji's opinion in person when he came to the door tomorrow.

……

Guo Mo returned to the harem with his son Guo Yi.

Boys above the age of ten, whether they are sons or apprentices, were all arranged to live in the palace on the east side of the palace after the spring of this year, with the exception of Guo Yi, who lived in the Funing Palace of the Supreme Emperor.

Only a few young sons, Xiaolongnu, Guo Xiang, etc., still live in the harem with Huang Rong and Li Mochou.

Preparations for the welcome banquet in the harem began early in the morning.

First, he received news from Lu Guanying that His Majesty the Emperor would go to the "Taiqing Hall" to go to court first, and then he met Murong Yan and Guo Shi who were one step ahead.

Huang Rong was naturally very affectionate, even hugged Xiao Guo Shi in her arms, and never let go.

Several of her children have grown up, and the youngest Guo Yao is already five years old.

Murong Yan first apologized for stealing the sword and leaving, recalling the past, Murong Yan's tears fell again.

"Third Sister, let the past be the past. In the arena in Zhongdu, when you and I were married to Jinlan, I dreamed of today."

"I don't want to think that my wish has come true. The three of us sisters are all married to Brother Mo—"

Besides, Huang Rong no longer has the embarrassment or reluctance of the past. Maybe she has experienced too many things, and many people and things have changed.
