Where is the sword of the reborn eagle

Although the trick is old-fashioned, it has worked for the kings of all dynasties, not to mention that Guo Mo is not only a courtier, but also a vassal king.

In this way, it will be more sensitive and the effect will be more obvious.

"How do you feel about meeting?"

Shi Miyuan already agreed in his heart, but he still asked for Xue Ji's opinion habitually. After all, he was the number one counselor under him, although he had less contacts recently.

"Li Yushi's plan may be a try."

Xue Ji said calmly.

But no one noticed the disdain on the corner of Li Zhixiao's mouth and the resentful look in Nie Zishu's eyes.

Chapter 254 Abandoning Military Power

"Sister, I...I'm going home first."

Guo Mo and his party set off from Luoyang and arrived in Lin'an after more than 30 days.

When approaching the city gate, Li Mochou suddenly bid farewell to Huang Rong.

That's right, we are about to enter Lin'an. There is Li Mochou's adoptive father in the city, Shi Miyuan, the prime minister at the time.

During the 30-odd days of getting along, although everyone deliberately avoided it, they both knew that Guo Mo would definitely have conflicts with this Prime Minister this time when he returned to the court.

"Second Sister, you haven't been back for two or three years, have you? Then go home and have a look. The official family has arranged a mansion, which is in Changqingfang. If you have time, come and play with my sister."

Huang Rong knew that there was no way to stay with him any longer, and she made indirect remarks along the way, but Li Mochou always pretended to be stupid.

After talking too much, she used the excuse that she had already become a family, and said that she had sworn in front of the master's spiritual throne, so Huang Rong had no choice but to give up.

She could see that Li Mochou had that intention in her heart, she seemed to have too many worries, maybe she was just waiting for something.

Li Mochou's departure did not affect the convoy in any way, only one person was missing.

Old Cheng Yi was leaving too, but before leaving, he still told Guo Mo one thing.

"Your Highness, do you know that the house given to you by the government has a lot of history. It is the residence of Han Yuwei, the former prime minister of our dynasty. It occupies the largest area and is the most luxurious in Lin'an."

"Over the years, our historians have been coveting and wanting to keep it for themselves. I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince is also planning to move out of the palace and make it the location of the East Palace."

The crown prince system can be traced back to the Xia and Shang Dynasties at the earliest, but at that time there were only practical applications and no specific system.

The lesson of the Qin Dynasty's failure to establish a prince, which led to tampering with the imperial edict and its eventual demise, was deeply learned by the Han Dynasty.

As a result, the prince was established early, and later generations have continued to use this system.

In order to consolidate the position of the prince, not only the old minister of Degao assisted the prince Zuo, but also a think tank responsible for planning and a large number of officials.

However, the Song Dynasty changed the norm, not only greatly blurring the prince's east palace, but also weakening the prince's influence.

Even the prince himself has become very fragile, far from his original strength.

For example, the current prince, Zhao Mian, only has the position of prince, but there is no specific location of the East Palace.

In other words, where the prince is, the East Palace is there, and Zhao Mian just lives in the palace, an independent palace.

"Haha, that's good, isn't it in line with my status as a 'little overlord'? Such a good place, you, the Sima of the Yan Palace, hurry up and take up your post."

"I don't dare to say anything else, I greet you with good wine and good food every day. I'm not familiar with the officials in the court, you always look at who is suitable, and you all go to our Yanwang Palace."

"There is no limit to young or old, both civil and military. I only have one request - to be able to do things in a down-to-earth manner, 'Please go elsewhere for promotion and fortune, don't enter the door if you are greedy for life and fear of death'!"

The words of the fathers of later generations were thrown to the old Cheng by Guo Mo.

"The old minister has been taught—"

Old Cheng Yi saluted Guo Mo respectfully, maybe it was more of a salute to his last sentence, but he turned around and walked away with the limited-edition carriage.

Since the officials had prepared such a large palace, Guo Mo was disrespectful, and directly arranged the five hundred Yan Palace guards into the palace.

Only after I actually lived in did I realize that this house is really ridiculously big.

According to Guo Mo's estimate, they are not necessarily smaller than the imperial palace. The key is that the overall specifications are square and square, which is much stronger than the planning of the official imperial palace.

"Rong'er, go and arrange accommodation for everyone first. Mother, elder brother, sister-in-law, father-in-law and mother-in-law all set aside separate courtyards for them to settle down."

Since there are such good conditions, Guo Mo naturally wants everyone to live together so that they can take care of everything.

Entering from the main entrance to the back house, it turns out that Qi enters the courtyard. You have to ride a horse to walk around in your own home?

It said it was in Changqingfang, but it was only the main entrance of King Yan's Mansion.

The entire mansion, no matter from east to west or from north to south, spanned two streets.

Especially in the middle of the house, there is actually a five-story "Zhaixing Tower", which is almost as tall as the Yellow Crane Tower.

I don't understand how such a house is allowed to be built. Don't you know that there is a word called "exceeding the system"?

"Mo'er, is it suitable for mother to live here?"

Seeing such a splendid mansion, Li Ping was still a little hesitant in her heart, it was even more magnificent than the Yanwang Mansion in Luoyang.

"Hehe, mother can live here, no matter how magnificent the mansion is in the world, as long as mother wants to live in it, the children will be taken down by you."

"You kid, you just say nonsense."

Li Ping was still very happy, but felt that it was too deserted to live alone in such a big yard.

Moreover, the eldest son, Guo Jing, was not there, so Hua Zheng simply asked Guo Ping to live in with Zhang Ting.

Of course, Guo Mo will not force these trivial matters, the courtyards are allocated according to his ideas, as for how to live, it all depends on the wishes of his mother Li Ping.

The news that His Royal Highness King Yan had returned to Lin'an spread like wildfire.

With such a big movement, will no one know?

Since Guo Mo's team of more than 500 people entered from the west gate of Lin'an, they walked through half of Lin'an City in a mighty way, before turning south and entering Changqingfang through Yujie.

On the route, it can be regarded as walking a quarter of the city.

Fortunately, Lin'an was in the rear, otherwise the cavalry brigade of hundreds of people would have thought they were here to steal the city.

Surprisingly, before the team arrived at Yujie, there were many people lining the road to welcome them, men and women, holding all kinds of wine, meat, melons and fruits in their hands.

Is this for labor?

It seems that he didn't go out to win the battle and return to the dynasty?

Outside the gate of King Yan's Mansion, there were also a hundred officials of the seventh and eighth rank waiting for them, holding various invitations and gift lists in their hands.

In fact, Guo Mo had already received the news from Nan Xiren, saying that the "brilliant deeds" of His Royal Highness King Yan have been circulating throughout Lin'an City recently.

What is taking Luoyang on horseback, what is riding alone on the east of the river, what is on the Xixia battlefield, burning a battalion for 68 miles, and beheading [-] Mongolian generals in the capital...

He also said that the people of the Kingdom of Jin are now preparing to send a dozen or so state capitals, including Xiqin Road, Qingyuan Road, and Jingzhaofu Road, to His Highness King Yan as gifts.

As long as His Royal Highness Yan nods, the Mongolian iron cavalry is willing to take down the entire Xixia and give it to His Royal Highness Yan as a fief.

What to say, His Royal Highness King Yan came down from the sky to save Song Dynasty, and only under the leadership of His Royal Highness King Yan, Great Song Dynasty can return to its original place and regain the glory of its ancestors.

......

Well, Guo Mo knew that they would make trouble, but he didn't expect the storm to be so violent?

If this is a random subject, I'm afraid it will be unbearable. Even the most wise monarch will probably weigh it in his heart.

Whether it was the welcome of the people or the worship of the officials, Guo Mo accepted them all.

In Guo Mo's words, "Everyone sent them here. If I don't accept them, won't it hurt the other party's heart?"

It turns out that our King Yan is also a kind person.

It's a pity that Guo Mo asked his personal guards to collect all the invitations from those officials, and sent them all to Old Cheng, telling him that these people must never be sent to the Yan Palace.

He also asked old Cheng Yi to cooperate with the "Imperial City Secretary" to check the background of these people. If there are any criminals, they will all be sent to the Ministry of Punishment and handed over to Song Ci for handling.

"Brother Mo, isn't it a little too much for you to do this? You accepted a gift from someone, but you still want to send him to the Ministry of Punishment?"

Huang Rong who was standing next to him was a little puzzled.

Guo Mo didn't shy away either, and said earnestly in front of everyone.

"Rong'er, the so-called 'giving bribes, taking bribes and breaking the law' are all prohibited by the law. Now that I accept gifts from others, if I just feel at ease, I will break the law."

"At least there are suspicions of breaking the law, but now I voluntarily confess these lists, and even report some criminals inside to the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

"Then these people constituted 'bribery', but I didn't 'break the law', and I asked people to send all these gifts to the Ministry of Households later."

"Directly hand it over to Yue Ke, the servant of the household department, let him realize it, or convert it into supplies, and distribute it to those people who have difficulty in surviving the winter."

"In this way, I don't have 'bribery' and 'corruption' anymore, and the common people get benefits, so why not do it?"

Well, Guo Mo's bizarre remarks spread throughout the streets and alleys of Lin'an within half a day.

The problem is, he said so, and even more so.

Whether it was old Cheng Yi, Song Ci who was on vacation from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Nan Xiren from the "Imperial City Division", and Yue Ke from the Ministry of Household Affairs, they all acted on hearing the wind and faithfully carried out Guo Mo's orders.

"Li Yushi, with Guo Mo doing this, wouldn't we have one less piece of evidence to impeach him tomorrow?"

Li Zhixiao and his colleagues at Yushitai also got the news, and many people asked worriedly.

"Haha, he really is a vulgar big-headed soldier, he doesn't know a little bit about the world, he is just trying to die."

"Not only will those hundreds of officials be cut off, but they will also get a harsh reputation. We can't impeach him for 'corruption and bribery', can't we also impeach him for colluding with important officials in the court and using public tools for private use?"

"He is only a vassal king, but he can actually mobilize the elders of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Households, and the Imperial City Department. Don't you think this article may have more weight?"

Li Zhixiao's words immediately broadened the thinking of all colleagues in Yushitai.

That's right, Guo Mo started his career in the army, so he already has a lot of self-respect in the army, and now he can have such great prestige and control among the important officials of the court.

If you are an official today, can you sit still?

Can you still sleep peacefully in Funing Palace?

The answer is-

can!

When it was time to light the lanterns again, the official Zhao Kuo still stayed in Funing Palace, watching all kinds of news sent by the "Huangcheng Secretary".

Zhao Kuo lived in the deep palace for a long time, and the "Huangcheng Secretary" was his most powerful eyes and ears.

Most of the time, he doesn't necessarily want to control someone. In fact, he is more bored and wants to read all kinds of "gossip".

"Haha, this little Qi, who made such a move as soon as he entered Lin'an City, I'm afraid everyone didn't expect it?"

"Old man, let someone send two sets of imperial orders to the Yan Palace tomorrow. One is for Mo'er's adoptive mother, Li Ping, so let's call it 'Mrs. Yue Guo'."

"One set was given to Guo Jing's wife, Hua Zheng, and she was named 'Mrs. Zhao Guo'. Although Guo Jing is the ruler of the capital, this Hua Zheng is the princess of Mongolia after all, so we shouldn't appear to be too stingy in Song Dynasty."

Anyone who has anything to do with Guo Mo, the official Zhao Kuo is really generous, and he will be the wife of the two countries when he makes a move. This is the highest level of imperial orders.

"Officials, look at tomorrow's morning court. Do you want to tell Qiye not to come over? I think they will attack Qiye."

The old eunuch standing aside took down what the officials said, but raised his own concerns.

"It's okay, they just want to make a move on Xiaoqi's military power, let's just wait and see the good show—"

Well, as a father, you just trust your son so much?

The next day, before dawn, Guo Mo woke up.

This evil early dynasty system, if it is used too much, it will definitely affect the physical development.

Fortunately, the location of King Yan's Mansion is quite close to the imperial palace. If Guo Mo rode there, he would just go out the gate and turn left, and head south after reaching Yujie.

At most a quarter of an hour before and after, there is no need to worry about traffic jams in this era, and at that time, there are only officials and entourages from the upper court.

After Guo Mo finished washing, he specially put on King Yan's python robe. Just before breakfast was served, old Cheng Yi came in from the outside.

"Haha, it's better to come early than coincidentally. It's just in time for dinner, and the old minister will be disrespectful."

Cheng Yi sat down familiarly, and started to eat the food on the table.

Guo Mo almost forgot that this old boy is now the Sima of Prince Yan's Mansion, and there is no need to notify him before entering the gate.

Shaking his head helplessly, he had no choice but to ask the soldiers to send some more.

"Is Cheng Sima coming to take office now? That's not right, why are you still wearing this suit?"

Old Cheng Huan's intention to become Sima in Prince Yan's mansion has already come down. Originally, the subordinates of the mansion still depended on Guo Mo himself, and reporting to the court was just a process.

But today's Cheng Yi is still wearing the official uniform of the Ministry of Rites.
