"Official family." Mo Du walked two steps closer and looked at Zhao Xian sincerely, with respect in his eyes. "I am also from the southern family, and I have the luxury of Song. The young emperor of the official family has a long time to come. Please be kind and be serious. After all, the official family is... the orthodox Song Dynasty."

After Modu whispered this sentence, he gave him an encouraging look.

This look contains too many things.

Zhao Xian is not stupid. In history, he can write the poem "The guests from the Golden Platform should not return". How can a person who can become a tantric monk without some talent?

He immediately understood Modu's intentions.

This person... is a loyal minister who is in Cao's camp and in the heart of Han!

Wasn't it because Liu Mengyan sent him to test it on purpose? It must be because Liu Mengyan does not have this need.

After all, Liu Mengyan is old and young, and he still has the right to be righteous. As long as he is a smart person with vision, he will not follow Liu Mengyan to the dark side. Why don’t the Han people in the Central Plains make trouble? It’s not because he is the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.

"Mo Qing is good at taking care of himself. I... already know." Zhao Xian suppressed the excitement in his heart and forced himself to nod indifferently.

"The official... I am rude in the palace today, so I ask the official to atone for my sins." Mo Du suddenly said.

Is rude in the palace? Zhao Xian was stunned. Are you not rude in the palace today? The rude in the palace is not a trivial matter. Why should you put a hat on yourself?

But immediately, Zhao Xian understood.

After saying this, Modu left as if nothing had happened. His scolding came soon: "The guards personally guarded the palace and have a great responsibility. If you don't work hard, let alone this official, you will not wait for good results even if you keep them to know!"

Zhao Xian smiled and the depression in his heart was wiped out.

Haha, Liu Mengyan, Liu Mengyan, you can't imagine it?

If Modu could be used by me, what would you end up?

When I take charge of the government, even Kublai Khan can only accept it with his nose. If the Yuan army dares to destroy the Song Dynasty, the Han people in the Central Plains will rise up, and the Tang army will definitely fight north.

It is best for Kublai Khan to admit that he controls the government and continue to retain the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Xian was excited for a moment and almost tripped by the threshold when entering Cining Palace.

"Mother Queen." Zhao Xian smiled and bowed to Queen Queen Quan, "This autumn is clear and refreshing. Why doesn't Mother Queen go out to relax?"

Queen Mother Quan looked at her suddenly radiant son in a little shocked moment, as if she had thought of something. She waved her hand and asked the palace people to retreat, leaving only the mother and son.

"Second brother, why are you happy today?" Queen Mother Quan was very surprised. My son was unhappy these months, but he had never looked so happy today.

Zhao Xian said something Mo Du said to him and asked, "My mother thinks, what do you think of this person?"

Queen Mo Du pondered for a while, "This old man Mo Du knew that he also seemed to have some hint when he met his old man. Perhaps, he is really a loyal minister. But you did something wrong today."

Zhao Xian felt nervous and quickly stood up, "Please teach me my mother."

Queen Mother Quan said solemnly: "Modu asked you to take good care of yourself, and there is another meaning, that is, you should think that nothing happened and not overthrow it. You should not express your joy just now. You should be like Zhaolie, and not express your emotions. In this palace, you are either the one who Liu Mengyan or the one who is the queen. Be careful."

Zhao Xian was a little ashamed, "The child knew he was wrong, and what the mother said was very true."

Queen Mother Quan frowned, "There is another thing I mentioned more than once before. Today I will remind you again. You must not try to win over Zhang Qi. Although she is the queen, she is pregnant with your child. But..."

She pointed to the north, "The Queen's family and the tribe are all in Hebei. Many things are not something she can do as much as she wants. Compared with the entire Zhang family, she must have a scale in her heart."

"She will never ignore the safety of the entire Zhang family and help you fight Liu Mengyan. Her only choice is to obey Kublai Khan's words and be honest...looking at you! Avoid you turning to Li Tang. She is the daughter of Zhang Hongfan, and she is strong-willed and will not let you, who may surrender to Tang, take charge of the rule."

Zhao Xian took a deep breath and smiled bitterly: "My mother, the child has already begged her, but she refused."

Queen Mother Quan's expression was stunned, and the corners of her eyes twitched, "Why are you so uneasy? Lao Shen had told you before, why is Li Ling Zhihun? Fortunately, Zhang Qi is still a good woman, and her nature is not bad. Otherwise, Liu Mengyan would have known at this moment, what will happen to you, my mother and son?"

But she didn't blame her son for being stupid. Her son was only eighteen years old today and was under house arrest in the Duke of Yingguo, Dadu since she was a child. He rarely contacted outsiders and did not even have a master. It would be good to have such a performance.

"Second brother, you often discuss matters in a few days. If you beg Liu Mengyan to add a guard commander, you will say that Modu can't take care of him alone." Queen Mother Quan said, "Also, in front of Concubine Lin, you have to say Modu..."

Zhao Xian nodded uncontrollably, "My son knows, the mother is thoughtful, and the child will do whatever he wants."

The mother and son talked for a while, and Zhao Xian left Cining Hall and went to Fenghua Hall where Concubine Lin was.

Fenghua Palace has also been repaired and has put a lot of effort into it. Because the leader of Fenghua Palace Concubine Lin was sent to the palace by Liu Mengyan and belonged to Liu Party.

Zhao Xian came to Fenghua Hall with a gloomy expression, where flowers are red and willows are green and osmanthus is fragrant. At first glance, Concubine Lin, wearing a cloud brocade skirt, was painting under an old osmanthus tree.

Seeing Zhao Xian coming in with an unpleasant look, Concubine Lin immediately stood up to greet him, "I have seen the official family! The official family is blessed."

Zhao Xian nodded in depressedly, sat on the stone bench, looked at the table, but he was painting a picture of a lady with a flower hairpin.

The beauty in the painting is in the form of a beautiful woman, but her facial features are missing and she has not yet been repaired.

Zhao Xian felt a little disdainful. Concubine Lin liked painting, but her painting skills were really undecent. Although she was pretty and charming, she did not have the dignity and grandness of the queen.

"Why is the official unhappy?" Concubine Lin's eyes turned and helped Zhao Xian massage his shoulders with kindness. "Can you tell me?"

A soft and glutinous voice sounded softly in Zhao Xian's ears. A strand of black hair that the woman drooped down also rubbed Zhao Xian's face, making his skin itchy, and he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

Zhao Xian smiled bitterly and said, "I, the official family, have done a very sad life."

The sunlight after autumn shines through the mottled flower branches, half-light and half-dark on Zhao Xian's handsome and bleak face, making the man look elegant and melancholy. The rain and hatred between his clear eyebrows seem to lightly lock on endless troubles.

This man is really beautiful. Concubine Lin looked at him and gently stroked Zhao Xian's shoulder with her bare hands, "Why did the official say this?"

Zhao Xian sighed, "Modu, the Duke of Yu, dared to stare at the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager did not dare to get angry and could only slander the gods in the palace. Modu was so rude, but I... had no choice but to do anything about it."

After hearing this, Lin Yueniang felt a hint of disdain and a hint of pity flashed in her heart.

The Empress Dowager is less than 40 years old and is still considered beautiful. It is of course a very disrespectful crime to stare at the Empress Dowager. If it were the lightest, Modu would have been dismissed from office and seized his post.

But the problem is that today's officials and the empress dowager are puppets, so why do the ministers really take it seriously? Not to mention that the empress dowager is stared at, even if she is teased, she will probably have no choice but to do anything to Modu.

What is a phoenix that falls off the gear is worse than a chicken?

That's it.

"Don't be angry at the official family. Tell the ministers in the court and scold Modu for a while." Lin Yueniang comforted, "The official family has a long time to come, so there is no need to be angry at the villain in front of you."

Although Lin Yueniang said this, only more than an hour later, the Grand Master Liu Mengyan learned about the news that "Modu was rude".

…………

"Du, I have seen the grace of the emperor!" Mo Du was summoned by Liu Mengyan to the Grand Master's Mansion, and was very respectful. "I don't know that grace of the emperor is summoned to Du, what's the matter?"

Liu Mengyan pointed at Modu in anger, "You, you! I regret it, you are a steady person, why are you rude to the empress dowager today? After all, she is the empress dowager. You are so incompetent, so I can tell you how to tell you!"

He seemed angry, but in fact he was just pretending, so how could he get angry about this?

Mo Du was stunned, with a look of grievance on his face, "Grand, how could Du be rude to her? This woman... the Empress Dowager has lost her mind and does not do my business. Du is about to report her kindness."

"Oh? Didn't you stare at the Queen Mother?" Liu Mengyan asked, "Is there anything else that said?"

Modu smiled bitterly and poured a cup of tea for Liu Mengyan, "Yeah, today I am patrolling the guards in the palace. When I saw the woman... The Queen Mother, she waved her left and right, and summoned Du to speak in front of her. Her eyes were filled with frivolousness. Du ignored him and said goodbye. How could he stare at her?"

"Although she is still charming, she is the queen mother after all, and she is several years older than Du. How could she be rude to her if she is not a lustful person? Please be careful."

Liu Mengyan snorted coldly. He understood.

Why Modu is rude? It was obvious that the woman was so angry that she turned around when she saw that Modu was not seducing him.

The seduced Modu was of course because Modu had the power of the palace guards.

This woman is really unwilling to give up.

It was also a blessing for Modu to be loyal to him. If he changed his general, he would be attracted by her.

Why?

Although Quan's family is already thirty-five years old this year, they are still a beautiful woman with charm. That's fine, but the most terrible thing is that she was the queen of the Song Dynasty and now the queen mother. Her identity is there, which is a fatal attraction to many men.

To be honest, there are many beauties in the world, but there is only one in the world who has the identity of the queen mother!

Her beauty trick should never be underestimated.

"Repent, you are wronged. The reason for this matter is so clear that I feel at ease, don't worry." Liu Mengyan comforted.

Mo Du smiled and said, "Du actually doesn't care what the empress dowager thinks. She can sit in the palace to enjoy her happiness. As long as she does not interfere with the military and political affairs of the court, she will still be the empress dowager."

"Well, you are very sensible, I'm not wrong." Liu Mengyan asked Modu to sit down and drink tea, his bright eyebrows and eyes were filled with sarcastic expressions, "But the Empress Dowager and the official family are not content with enjoying their happiness and cannot understand the painstaking efforts of the ministers, so we have to worry a lot."

Liu Mengyan said and pondered for a while, then stroked his beard and said, "Pick some reliable people in the army, write a blank list of promising people, and control the military power of the capital and other places. Some people should be replaced when they should be replaced. Both inside and outside the palace must be kept close. This military power must be controlled by the court, and you must listen to the Khan's words."

"The generals to be selected should not only be loyal to the Song and Yuan dynasties, but also have the ability and cannot be used as incompetent people. I guess that the pseudo-Tang will go to the Northern Expedition next year, so we must be careful of this military matter. At least, if we can effectively cooperate with the Great Yuan cavalry in the war, we cannot drag our backs."

The so-called control of the imperial court is of course controlled by Liu Mengyan. Of course, it is necessary to listen to the words of the Khan.

However, Liu Mengyan has always been a literati. He has no staff in the army and is not familiar with the generals. He can only ask his confidant Mo Du to help him.

"Don't worry, Du will definitely select a group of loyal and reliable talents to be appointed and promoted by Enjing himself. In this way, he will rest assured." Mo Du said with his order.

"Okay, I'll be assured to do things. Do it well, do it well!" Liu Mengyan nodded and smiled, and then said to the maid: "Turn Mingshu to see you."

At a moment, but when the rings were jingling, the fragrance was faintly blowing, and the pearl curtain was lifted, and a beautiful and graceful young woman appeared in the painting hall gracefully.

What about a graceful girl? But she sees her eyebrows and eyes that look like paintings, and is as elegant as a chrysanthemum. Here is a poem to prove it:

"The face of the goose egg is as bright as the frost and snow, and the hang gallbladder and the nose is new. If you ask what the style is like, you can't paint it easily."

He is really a wonderful person who I still feel sorry for.

With just a glance, Modu stopped drinking, as if he had forgotten his chance.

Mo Du's expression was taken into consideration by Liu Mengyan's eyes, and Liu Mengyan couldn't help but feel very satisfied.

"The grandson has met my uncle!" The girl bowed gracefully, and nodded slightly to Modu without politely.
