Where is the sword of the reborn eagle

Hastily opened his eyes, faced the ministers, and took out the imperial decree he had prepared from his sleeve.

Seeing this scene, how can the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty not know, the officials have already come to a conclusion.

So what happened in the hall just now?

Liang Chengda felt that he had been "tricked". He used to be a gun, but it was always Shi Miyuan's gun, but he accidentally made it into an official's gun.

Shi Miyuan was also slightly surprised, today's official family is a bit different.

The imperial decree is not long, and the general idea is that in order to continue the country of Zhao Song, and especially obey the people, Zhao Jun, the heir of King Yi Jinghui, was established as the crown prince, and his name was changed to Zhao Hong.

The candidate for the crown prince, who had been arguing for almost a year, was finally decided by an imperial decree from the officials.

Many ministers who were preparing to "show off their power" in the early morning felt that they had prepared for "loneliness" and had no place to use them.

Before the ministers could react, the old eunuch slowly took out an imperial decree from his sleeve.

"...I visited the palace at sunrise the day before yesterday, and I met a son by chance. It was very fateful. I specially adopted him as a foster son and named him 'Zhao Hao'. I granted him the title of 'King of Yan' and gave him the special gift of 'As if I were here in person'. 'Gold medal, see the third level of the official university, you can use the gold medal to mobilize all the soldiers and horses belonging to the Song Dynasty..."

Compared with the establishment of the crown prince just now, this imperial decree to confer the title of "King of Yan" is even more explosive.

Originally, the official family accepted a adopted son, although it was a little out of line, it was justifiable.

After all, he was a 54-year-old man, and all nine of his parents and children died young. Even if it was to comfort the heart of the old emperor, the officials could not object too much.

Even if it is a king, it is nothing.Now it’s not the Han Dynasty, and there are many kings with different surnames. This is not a different surname at all, and has been renamed "Zhao Hao".

Moreover, the title is "King Yan", which is in the ruled area of ​​the Jin Kingdom, and it is where the "Central Capital" of the Jin Kingdom is located. Even if you confer the entire Great Jin Kingdom to him, not many people will care.

Everyone thought that this was just a response to Mongolia's proposal of "uniting the Song Dynasty against the Jin Dynasty", and even Shi Miyuan thought so.

However, in the end, this "King of Yan" was actually given the gold medal, which was the only one in the world, the "As I came in person" gold medal, allowing him to mobilize all the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty.

This powerful person can go to the sea, and even sometimes, even the officials may not be able to overshadow him.

"Officials, I think this discussion is inappropriate..."

The old eunuch had just finished reading the second edict when a minister came out to bow down.

"It turned out to be Xue Qing. This is not discussing with the court, this is the 'imperial decree' that I have promulgated—"

Emperor Ningzong interrupted Xue Ji's report a little rudely, especially on the word "imperial decree", he gritted his teeth and said it.

The other ministers who wanted to stand up, seeing that the wind direction was not right, hesitated for a while.

At this time, the old eunuch unhurriedly took out the third edict from his sleeve.

Be good, what else?

The ministers below didn't know how to deal with it anymore, they all stared at the imperial decree in the old eunuch's hand, wanting to see how much thunder could erupt.

Fortunately, the next thing is not a big deal, mainly compared with the previous two things.

The third edict, to celebrate the establishment of the crown prince, added a "martial arts exam" this year, and the participants were not limited to whether they were citizens of the Song Dynasty or not.

In August and September, local selections will be held in each prefecture. On December [-]st, the top ten contestants from each prefecture will be selected for the "Lin'an" Grand Competition.

In the end, the top fifty will be awarded to Captain Jinyi, and the top three will be rewarded depending on the situation.

And the warriors who can enter the top [-], the officials of the state government where they live, can write a stroke in their resumes, as a year-end rating by the Ministry of Officials, and a powerful achievement for future promotion.

Those who participate in the election, regardless of their origin, among the active military and officials, who are under the age of 30 and have no official position, can also participate.

"Martial arts" was first created in the Tang Dynasty, and it was used again after Song Taizu established the country. In the Song Dynasty, there were about 77 martial arts exams.

After Song Renzong ascended the throne, he also established an institution dedicated to cultivating military talents-Martial Arts.

Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, worried that the outstanding generals of the Song Dynasty would not be promoted, so he took the initiative to advocate the national policy of "emphasizing both civil and military affairs".

By the time Song Ningzong took power, though, he had realized the disadvantages of emphasizing civility over martial arts, and rebuilt the martial arts system.

However, there is still an ethos in the society that emphasizes civility over martial arts. Affected by this trend of thought, most of the people who take part in the martial arts exam are low-level martial artists.

The content of the third imperial decree was very long, and the old eunuch's ups and downs read it for half an hour, and the civil and military ministers below were also drowsy.

I don't understand why the officials are so interested in this little "martial arts" all of a sudden?

But I don't want to imperceptibly, this lengthy imperial edict is gradually diluting the influence of the second imperial edict.

"...There is a government office, you must do your duty and act impartially. I hereby—"

After the old eunuch finished reading, the ministers were still in the process of digesting it.

When I looked up, I realized that there was no one on the throne.

"Shi Xiang, these three imperial decrees were all written by the officials themselves. Please trouble Shi Xiang to pass it on again. Send it out and let the world know."

Generally, the imperial decree must be issued by the Menxia Province, and the end of the imperial decree must be stamped with the seals of many handlers or departments, which is not as simple as it was in the later Qing Dynasty.

The old eunuch smiled all over his face, respectfully handed the three imperial decrees to Shi Miyuan, and then walked away.

"Shi Xiang, why is this?"

"Shi Xiang, you can't do this—"

"Shi Xiang, what should we do?"

......

"Hmph, it's a mess, what's the proper way? This is the Chongzheng Hall, not the vegetable market. Just according to the official's wishes, these three imperial decrees were clearly issued and announced to the world."

Shi Miyuan threw the three imperial edicts to a minister next to him, ignored everyone, and walked away.

The faces of the veteran officials present were mixed.

They are all people who have experienced the era of "Kaixi Northern Expedition". The officials did not want to live in humiliation, but also wanted to cheer up, but in the end they signed the even more humiliating "Jiading Peace Agreement".

In the scene just now, the official's demeanor was too similar to that of the past.

Peach Blossom Island, Fulong Residence.

A few days have passed since their wedding day, and the "Seven Sons of Quanzhen", "Danyangzi" Ma Yu and "Changchunzi" Qiu Chuji, who came from afar, have also bid farewell and left.

"Danyangzi" Ma Yu also told Guo Mo repeatedly that he must go to Chongyang Palace in Zhongnan Mountain when he has free time, but he refused to explain the reason.

Guo Mo could only promise to take the time to go there as much as possible, because he couldn't guarantee when he would be able to go to Zhongnanshan.

The four "Seven Monsters of the South of the Yangtze River" stayed temporarily and lived in the "Songfeng Pavilion".

On this day, Wu Mianfeng hurried back to "Peach Blossom Island", and the news brought back made Huang Yaoshi summon everyone to "Fulong Residence".

Since Emperor Ningzong left that day, "Dong Xie", Feng Heng, Guo Mo, and Huang Rong, who knew the inside story, haven't had time to announce it to everyone.

More or less, he was waiting for today's news.

In the living room of "Fulongju", Huang Yaoshi and Feng Heng are on the right, Guo Mo is sitting in the first place on the left, and Huang Rong is also sitting on the side.

Among the "Seven Monsters of the South of the Yangtze River", "Flying Bat" Ke Zhen'e, "Scholar with Wonderful Hands" Zhu Cong, "Nanshan Woodcutter" Nan Xiren, and "North Street Hero" Quan Jinfa sat on the left hand side.

As for "Peach Blossom Island", Chen Xuanfeng, Mei Chaofeng, Lu Chengfeng, Wu Mianfeng, Nan Qin, Lu Guanying and others sat on the right hand side.

Ting Xiang and Wen Fu stood guard at the entrance of the hall, and no one was allowed to enter.

"Everyone, I called you here today because there is something I want to announce to you."

"Mianfeng has just returned from 'Lin'an', before announcing the matter, let him tell everyone the news he brought back."

"Dongxie" Huang Yaoshi gestured to Wu Mianfeng.

"Everyone, today's officials issued three imperial decrees in a row yesterday..."

It turned out that before Wu Mianfeng left, "Dongxie" repeatedly confessed that he must pay attention to the dynamics of the court.

As soon as I got the news of the imperial decree yesterday, I felt that the matter was serious, so I rushed back to "Peach Blossom Island" to report the news in person overnight.

After Wu Mianfeng finished the content of the three imperial edicts, the people in "Peach Blossom Island" didn't react at all, and even felt that the news had nothing to do with them.

Even Wu Mianfeng himself, if it wasn't for his master's special confession, he wouldn't take these things seriously.

On the other hand, the four "Seven Monsters of the South of the Yangtze River" were extremely excited when they heard this. They vaguely guessed what happened, but it all happened so suddenly that these four didn't understand exactly how it happened.

"Everyone, do you feel that the content of this imperial decree has nothing to do with us?"

"Dongxie" Huang Yaoshi paused for a moment, and looked around the people in the hall.

"I hope everyone will listen carefully to what the old man is going to say next."

"Actually, those who can sit here now, I feel that they are people who can be trusted. If someone really comes out who eats inside and out, I believe that with my martial arts and character, I can find him out of heaven and earth."

After all, the matter is of great importance. Even if all the people here are trustworthy, "Dong Xie" feels that he should say something, and he doesn't want to make his son-in-law difficult.

"Master, what happened? Just tell me, if you go up the mountain of swords or down into the sea of ​​fire, this disciple will never frown."

Everyone had never seen before that when "Dongxie" was so solemn, Chen Xuanfeng was the first to lose his composure, and was the first to express his opinion.

"In the second imperial decree issued by the government, His Royal Highness 'Zhao Hao' mentioned in the 'King of Yan' is Mo'er."

"what?"

"How could this be?"

"Sure enough..."

It can be said that "one stone can start a thousand waves", the words of "Dongxie" Huang Yaoshi also caused commotion in the hall.

"Master...Master, is this true?"

Although I know that it is impossible to laugh at such a thing as a teacher, but this is too incredible, right?

Brother Guo, who has always called himself a brother and brother, is actually the son of the current official family, the current "His Royal Highness King Yan"?

"Mo'er, you've finally 'recognized your ancestors'? But the one who came on the wedding day?"

"Scholar with great hands" Zhu Cong also burst into tears.

On the day of the wedding, the one who came to the scene had a great impact on everyone.

Moreover, both the "Dongxie" couple and Guo Mo himself, unexpectedly let that person's "rude" behavior go unchecked.

The "Seven Monsters of the South of the Yangtze River", who already knew some inside information, had a lot of discussions afterwards, but now this ending is the only one that can explain everything.

Now that things are up, Guo Mo can no longer back down, but just sighs that everything has to start all over again.

"Yes, the person who came on the day of the wedding is the current official family, my biological father, my current name in the Zhao family is 'Zhao Hao', and he was granted the title of 'King of Yan'."

After Guo Mo finished speaking, he took out a shiny golden token from his pocket, "If I come in person."

"I've seen the officials!"

The moment Guo Mo took out the gold medal, everyone including "Dong Xie", Feng Heng, and Huang Rong saluted before the steps.

Guo Mo knows that everything in the past is really in the past.

There is no excitement at all, but more of reluctance and regret...

Chapter 176

"To reveal my identity today, I just want to ask everyone's opinions? Are you willing to help protect His Royal Highness 'King Yan'?" "Dong Xie" continued to ask.

"Then what else is there to say, Master, based on our relationship, it is only natural to protect the 'King of Yan'. Is there any need to think about it?"

After a brief shock, everyone calmed down, and Chen Xuanfeng was the first to express his opinion.

"Everyone, Guo Mo has known everyone for a long time, and he will not change because of his different identities."

"There are a lot of things to do, and I still need to make some preparations, so I won't return the court so soon. In the world, I am still 'Guo Mo', and I don't need to be called 'Yan Wang'. This is rather rusty.”

Guo Mo hastily expressed his attitude, and felt a little inexplicably uncomfortable when he heard his father-in-law call him His Highness "King of Yan".

"Dare to ask Yan... what is Mo'er's ambition?" Zhu Cong, the "scholar with wonderful hands", asked.

This is not a simple question. He wants to know what Guo Mo's plan is, and he also wants everyone to be determined to follow his apprentice.

More importantly, he wants Guo Mo to recognize and strengthen his new identity from the heart.

The road to fighting for the dragon has never been smooth, and it is either success or death. If there is no perseverance and belief, it is completely impossible to survive.

Hearing the Second Master's question, Guo Mo glanced at him gratefully.

"Second master, everyone, since Guo Mo is the only son of the royal family, it is imperative to inherit the great line."

"However, Guo Mo did not want to satisfy a Song Dynasty that was peaceful and peaceful. The northern expedition to the Central Plains and the restoration of the old capital are the minimum goals."

"Take back the 'Sixteen States of Youyun', limit the Great Wall, and complete the true unification of China, which is also Taizu's last wish."

"If possible, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty would not be 'Lin'an' or 'Bianliang'. I would rather set it as the 'Central Capital' of the Kingdom of Jin."

"Okay, haha, Mo'er, a real man of the Great Song Dynasty, should have this ambition, and the more than 100 catties of being a teacher will be handed over to you. The northern expedition to the Central Plains, the restoration of the old capital, the recovery of Youyun, and the horse herding on the Great Wall. "
