"Why, you don't believe what your father said?"

Seeing Guo Mo's shocked look, Guan Jia felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment.

My son has behaved very well in everything since we met him.

Whether it is the art of war, martial arts, or layout planning, it can be a first-class choice.

It's rare to see him, and there are times when he makes miscalculations. The father finally has the opportunity to "show" himself.

The old eunuch stood by and waited as usual, but he usually only had to wait for one person, but now he had to pour wine for two people.

It seemed that he had never had such an experience before, and the old eunuch was also a little inexplicably excited. This was a feeling he had never experienced before when he saw the two princes.

"Then my father will teach you a lesson today so that you can understand the opponent you are facing now."

"First of all, let's talk about Shi Miyuan. He is also from a famous family. His father's name is Shi Hao. He is the King of Yue who was just posthumously named this year. He is one of the twenty-four heroes of the 'Zhaoxun Pavilion'. Shi Miyuan is Shi Hao's third son."

"The biggest characteristic of this person is that he is greedy for power and position, almost to the point of obsession. He likes to cover the sky with one hand and will do everything possible to remove anyone who threatens his power and position."

"The most powerful helpers around Shi Miyuan are what everyone usually calls the 'Four Woods and Three Fierce Men'. They have almost completely controlled the six ministries and served as ministers or ministers of each ministry."

"After Mo Ze's incident last time, it was difficult to get Yue Ke to become the Minister of Household Affairs. Finally, there is someone loyal to the Song Dynasty among the top leaders of the Sixth Department."

"In fact, 'Four Woods' can be called a momentary hero."

"Xue Ji is as talented as Chen Ping and Jia Xu. I can't say this person is good or bad. The starting point is to give himself a stage to display his talents."

"Zhao Rushu, this person is still a member of my royal family. Unfortunately, after the southern crossing, successive officials have consciously or unconsciously guarded against outstanding descendants of the Zhao family."

"After all, all the descendants of the Zhao family have the opportunity to inherit the throne in principle. This Zhao Rushu still has some ambitions, but more of it is because he has no sense of security, so he moved closer to Shi Miyuan."

"Hu Ju, this man is a talented man, well versed in both military and political affairs. He is almost sixty years old and is now the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. He is also the grandson of Hu Quan, a famous anti-Jin minister. He also advocated the anti-Jin movement in his early years."

"Nie Zishu said that although this man was also talented, he was even more greedy for money and good at plundering people's wealth and favors. Among the 'Four Woods', his talent may be ranked last, but his loyalty to Shi Miyuan was ranked first."

"In addition, the 'Three Evils' are nothing to worry about. They are nothing more than ruthless and cruel people who have done a lot of evil things for Shi Miyuan."

Guo Mo sat there and listened quietly without making any remarks.

The emperor Ningzong in front of him is not rated very well in the history books. His thirty years in power may be regarded as a bright spot.

When he was young, he was "ambitious and talented" and even launched the "Kaixi Northern Expedition". Unfortunately, he was ultimately defeated and paid more gold coins to the Jin Kingdom.

During the entire middle and late period of his rule, he was completely ignored by Shi Miyuan. Even the successor he appointed at the end was replaced by Shi Miyuan.

It was such an official who actually had a clear understanding of Shi Miyuan's party who was trying to ignore him.

After hearing this, Guo Mo couldn't help but shudder. It seemed that he had really underestimated these "ancients".

None of these people who play politics are simple. Maybe one day if they are not careful, they will fall into a situation of no return.

Guo Mo stood up and bowed respectfully to the official.

"Thank you dad for the reminder. My son will definitely be more careful in the future and not dare to be careless."

"Okay Moer, you have done very well. Dad will also practice the exercises diligently and strive to live for a few more years. He will also see with his own eyes how far you can grow."

"Among these 'four trees', it would be unwise to kill him with one stick."

"Zhao Rushu can be the first to fight for him. Now that you are strong, if you really act from the standpoint of the Song Dynasty, then Hu Ju may not really block your way."

"Xue Ji, it all depends on you whether you can use this person or not. Nie Zishu, once the time comes, it's better to deal with it. The remaining two of the 'Three Evils' are nothing to worry about."

"It's a pity that our Song Dynasty can't find a talented prime minister and assistant now. Mo'er, your burden is very heavy. You have to slowly cultivate your own power."

Guo Mo strongly agreed with the suggestions put forward by the officials. It seemed that today's trip was indeed worthwhile.

"Dad, originally when I came to the palace today, my son wanted to ask about the war horses. Before, when he went to Shi Miyuan's house, he promised to use five thousand war horses to deal with the 'Dunwu Army'."

Finally, Guo Mo still did not forget the purpose of his entry into the palace this time.

"You kid, do you think that Shi Miyuan alone can solve the problem of war horses, but I, a dignified official, can't do anything about it?"

At this time, the old eunuch standing next to him interrupted.

"I don't know something. More than a month ago, the officials ordered the old slave to secretly collect war horses and secretly send them to Zuowuwei General Meng Zongzheng to keep them."

"Although the number is not too large, the advantage is that they are all excellent war horses. More than two thousand have been sent over." "Placing them near the capital will be difficult to hide from others. When the training of the 'Dunwu Army' is completed, any one

With the transfer order, the 'Dunwu Army' can be sent to Jingxiang."

Guo Mo felt a little ashamed. He was still thinking about Mo Ze's fifty horses. Unexpectedly, his father had secretly prepared more than two thousand horses for him.

And when he heard Meng Zongzheng's name, Guo Mo knew that he was also a veteran in the army. It seemed that the officials still had some power.

After all, Meng Zongzheng's "loyal and shun army" numbered more than 20,000 people.

"Hehe, it seems that ginger is still old and hot. Daddy is really bright and prepared for a rainy day."

Guo Mo said with a playful smile.

"Hey, I really don't realize it usually, but you still have the potential to be a jester."

It was rare for an official to seize the opportunity to ridicule his own son.

Although the problem of the war horse has been settled for the time being, Guo Mo still said what he said at Shi Miyuan's house again.

"Mo'er, although the Mongolian army is powerful, it cannot be defeated within ten years. With the Xixia and Jin Kingdom blocking the front, we have enough time to prepare."

"As for what you are talking about, let them worry about it. It will save them from focusing on other things all day long and consume the strength of Meng, Xia and Jin. After all, it is good."

"Do you know why I said that Zhao Rushu might have discovered your identity?"

Guo Mo shook his head. He really didn't know where he went wrong.

"Because of your appearance, you look at least eight times like your father when he was young. Zhao Rushu is one of the few people who has met his father when he was young."

Guo Mo suddenly realized that this was the case.

He really ignored this. Thinking about it, last year, Feng Heng also revealed his life experience because of his appearance.

"Mo'er, my father suggests that when the time is right, you can secretly go to Zhao Rushu's residence and talk to him face to face."

"Let him know more of your trump cards. For example, you are not only my biological son, but also the 'King of Yan' who holds the world's soldiers."

"And your status as a martial artist with outstanding martial arts skills is also a layer of protection. The more cards he knows you have, the less he dares to act rashly, and his attitude is on the fence, and he may even turn to you."

"This person has recommended many talents to the imperial court over the years. If you can win over this person, you can also get a lot of help in one fell swoop."

"He is a member of the royal family. It's not an exaggeration to call him 'uncle'. It's up to you, Mo'er, to decide how to do it."

"Even if it is really self-defeating and my identity is exposed, will anyone dare to do harm to you and my son? Do you really think that I, an official, dare not kill people?"

...

Before the second watch, Guo Mo left the palace.

This time was the longest conversation Guo Mo had with an official, and it also allowed him to understand his father more clearly.

It seems that in recent years, the official family has been able to muddle along because they were suppressed by Shi Miyuan.

I'm afraid what's more, thinking that I have no flesh and blood to survive, I have completely lost the confidence and motivation to work hard.

Now, in less than half a year, Guan Jia's body has gradually recovered and is even stronger than before.

The entire imperial palace's guards were also completely in the hands of the officials, and the "Imperial City Division" gradually resumed its previous functions.

An unprecedented "military exercise" can be regarded as slightly inspiring the hearts of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty.

He promoted Yue Ke to be the Minister of Household Affairs, promoted Liu Kezhuang to be the prefect of Jiaxing, eradicated Mo Ze, one of the "Three Evils", and made friends with the powerful veteran general Meng Zongzheng in the army...

Each piece, piece by piece, is being carried out in an orderly manner.

The most important thing is that the official family found their biological son, and this son won the first prize in one fell swoop and became the number one scholar in martial arts.

He also commands the "Dunwu Army" and the "Tidian Imperial City Division", and is the undisclosed "King of Yan".

In the deep palace, the official actually did something, which he didn't even tell Guo Mo.

The official family had been sleeping in Funing Palace or Qinzheng Palace for more than four consecutive months. They did not go to Queen Yang's place again on the grounds of physical discomfort.

In other words, Queen Yang was under house arrest in a sense.

"Mo'er, Mo'er——"

After returning from the palace, Guo Mo had been thinking about these things. Unknowingly, he fell asleep and fell asleep until it was almost five o'clock.

When he was sleeping deeply, he heard a shout from outside, which seemed to be the voice of Nanshan Woodcutter, the fourth master.

Guo Mo opened his eyes and found that it was already bright and he had really overslept.

"Fourth Master, please wait a moment and let me get up."

Nan Xiren didn't expect that Guo Mo hadn't gotten up yet at this hour, so she had to go to the front hall to wait for him.

Seeing that the breakfast delivered from "Sanyuan Building" was already cold, he ordered his servants to run and bring another one.

There was not much time and Guo Mo had already finished washing up.

"Fourth Master, what happened? Are you coming here so early in the morning?"

After Guo Mo finished speaking, he realized that the sun had risen high, and it was probably almost noon.

"Come and take a look, this is the information that was just sent over. The Beggar Clan is scheduled to hold a Beggar Clan Conference in Junshan, Dongting Lake, on the sixth day of the first lunar month."
