"Brother Mo, why do dad and the others want you?"

Guo Mo, who had returned to the back house, was lying on the bed with so many thoughts on his mind that it was difficult to fall asleep.

The sensitive Huang Rong had already noticed that something was wrong with Guo Mo.

Silently, she took care of him. After washing, the servants brought out the water for soaking the feet, and then the two went to bed.

Guo Mo didn't know how to talk to Huang Rong. When Zhao Rushu said the three words "Li Mochou", Guo Mo instinctively refused.

Not because of Li Mochou's "original" reputation, there is a high probability that Li Mochou in this time and space will not become the "Red Fairy".

It's not because she is the adopted daughter of the powerful Prime Minister Shi Miyuan. Not to mention that she is just the adopted daughter. Even if she is Shi Miyuan's biological daughter, Guo Mo will not be disgusted with her as long as she has no bad deeds.

However, to not dislike someone, or to appreciate them, does not necessarily mean being with the other person or even marrying them.

On this point, Guo Mo had a big difference with Zhao Rushu, or in other words, he was completely incompatible with the concept of the entire era.

Guo Mo was extremely excited, even a little angry.

In Guo Mo's words, "How can the great affairs of the country be left in the hands of a woman?"

Old Cheng Jue was shocked. He didn't understand why Guo Mo was like this. Wasn't he just marrying an extra wife? It wasn't like he couldn't support her.

He was sixty years old. He was not a good person himself. He had one wife and three concubines, let alone the vigorous and majestic "Yan Wang" of the Song Dynasty.

The eldest brother, Guo Jing, sat there without saying anything. He and Guo Mo grew up together, so he knew this younger brother better.

Many of Guo Mo's behaviors and thoughts are different from this era. In Guo Jing's opinion, his younger brother is more humane, and he is quite supportive anyway.

"Mo'er, what Zhao Changshi said is not unreasonable. Everything must be done with the overall situation in mind."

Finally, it was Huang Yaoshi who was sitting there who spoke.

I now understand what kind of person "Dongxie" is.

Tonight's game was completely orchestrated by the Chief of the Yan Palace. He and old Cheng Jue were just pawns in his game.

The purpose of pulling Cheng Ju in was to make him move closer to Guo Mo, and to pull him here, probably just for this scene, right?

Although there is a sense of being calculated, Huang Yaoshi will not hate Zhao Rushu because of this, but will be grateful to him.

For someone who is so loyal to his master, and whose master is also his own son-in-law, Huang Yaoshi must remember this favor.

"Father-in-law, but..."

Seeing what Huang Yaoshi said, Guo Mo was a little surprised at first, and then wanted to refute, but was stopped by Huang Yaoshi.

"Mo'er, our strength, whether it's a legitimate assassination or a private assassination, is enough to get rid of this Shi Miyuan, there is no doubt about it."

"However, what we want is not just to remove this person, but to remove this person without causing major turmoil in the government and the opposition."

"In a world of great strife, everything is complicated. If you are not careful, you will lose everything. Although this Shi Miyuan is hateful, he is also someone who has been in charge of the center for many years. His influence cannot be ignored."

"If we can start with Miss Li, in the eyes of Shi Miyuan and his family, you will be one of their own to a certain extent."

"Once Shi Miyuan falls in the future, by taking over his power and connections, you can also reduce some resistance. Some people can still be used, such as that Xue Ji."

After Guo Mo recognized the official, "Dongxie" Huang Yaoshi paid more attention to the affairs of the court, especially Shi Miyuan, and the connections and resources he controlled.

Although after several years of hard work, Guo Mo has a good foundation and strength in the military.

However, what is important in traveling in the world is not necessarily fighting and killing, but more about being human and worldly.

Chaotang is not Jianghu, but it is no less complicated and dangerous than Jianghu.

Guo Mo, the Prince of Yan's palace, has put up a good deal of airs, and in Huang Yaoshi's opinion, some bad signs have been revealed.

For example, Zhao Changshi, who has extraordinary intelligence and sophisticated human skills, needs another person to check and balance him.

It's not that he is dissatisfied with Zhao Rushu, but it may be to protect him and at the same time protect the progress of Guo Mo's great cause.

Shi Miyuan’s political legacy may be a good choice.

Sometimes Huang Yaoshi even wonders whether his disciples have all joined Guo Mo's command. Is this a good or bad thing?

Fortunately, he is still on the way to conquering the world. When he really waits for the day when he becomes famous, "Dongxie" is ready to persuade his disciples that even if half of them withdraw, living freely in the world is still a joy in life.

Huang Yaoshi's words caused everyone in the room to fall into deep thought.

"Mr. Huang is in the world, but he has seen thousands of miles. He is broad-minded and has wisdom as deep as the sea. Fortunately, Mr. Huang does not want to enter the court, otherwise how can he have a job like me?"

Zhao Rushu came to Huang Yaoshi and bowed respectfully.

Since we respect his broadmindedness and talent, why not apologize to Mr. Dongxie for his "Meng Lang" tonight?

Regarding what Huang Yaoshi said just now, Zhao Rushu could also guess that the other party might have understood his intention of inviting people here tonight.

How could Guo Mo not know the truth taught by Huang Yaoshi?

But in the end, Guo Mo didn't spit.

"Dongxie" thought that his son-in-law could not save face and told Huang Rong that he was even willing to go there on his own to convince his daughter, but Guo Mo stopped him.

"It's better to let nature take its course. I plan to go back to Lin'an in a few days. As I just said, I will live there and live the life of a 'little bully' for a few days."

"I'll leave it to Zhao Changshi to handle the affairs of Prince Yan's Mansion. If you have any questions, please tell me more about my elder brother. He is still an idiot when it comes to government affairs."

When Guo Jing heard this, he quickly stood up and bowed to Zhao Rushu.

"In the future, please give me more guidance from Mr. Zhao."

Guo Jing was particularly good at this, and he was very courteous, especially towards his capable and virtuous seniors, both civil and military.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Old Minister Cheng, I wonder how your old injury is doing? Can you go back to Lin'an with me?"

"Your official positions as deputy envoy to the Privy Council and minister of the Ministry of Rites have been suspended for half a year by official decree. Please stop working there. After all, the Sima of Prince Yan's Palace has just taken office, hasn't he?"

"Hahaha - after His Highness said this, I realized that the injury is almost healed. The officials asked me to rest for half a year, and the whole family is worried about not having rice to cook."

After everything was settled, everyone dispersed and Guo Mo also returned to the back house.

"Rong'er, we discussed some things tonight. Senior Cheng Jue will be the Sima of the Yan Palace from now on. Meng Gong was offered the proposal to join the army, while the eldest brother joined the army as a reporter."

"Well, you don't have to tell me about the matters in the court. But the arrangements of these people are very good. Although Senior Cheng is more senior, Zhao Changshi has worked hard and made great achievements in the past few years."

"In terms of the military, among your people, Meng Gong is more comprehensive in my opinion. He comes to consult and join the army. He can express his support and is well-deserved."

"My eldest brother is still young and has little experience. He will be fine with a few more years of training."

Guo Mo was a little surprised. Although he had always known that Huang Rong was extremely intelligent, he did not expect that as the person involved, he had the nourishment of a lot of information from later generations to figure things out.

In Huang Rong's case, every key point was explained in just a few words.

"Rong'er, I find that you should be in charge of the long history of Prince Yan's Mansion."

Guo Mo praised sincerely.

"You're a joke, right? I'm the 'Princess Yan' of the official family, so I can't control a long history?"

The two played around for a while, then fell into silence again.

"Brother Mo, there must be other things, right? If it's just these, you won't be in trouble."

"Rong'er, I don't know how to talk to you, but the matter hasn't been settled yet. Maybe they are overthinking..."

Guo Mo adjusted his mood and thought it would be better not to tell Huang Rong first.

After all, I didn't really intend to do that, so saying something that I didn't have a clue about would only cause unnecessary trouble.

"Is it about the second sister?"

Huang Rong suddenly asked.

"What? How do you know?"

As soon as these words came out, Guo Mo realized that he had exposed his secret.

"Rong'er, what I mean is, how could you have thought of having anything to do with Li Mochou?"

Guo Mo hurriedly tried to make amends, but found that Huang Rong had already come over and was lying on Guo Mo's chest.

"Brother Mo, I know this will happen sooner or later. Do you think that in the arena in Zhongdu, I became sworn friends with them just because we have similar interests?"

"What else could it be because of?"

Guo Mo was a little confused and couldn't keep up with Huang Rong's rhythm. Why was he talking about Li Mochou and suddenly jumped to the Zhongdu Arena?

"Why? Of course you are looking for a concubine for our Highness, Prince Yan. According to the rules, this is also my right as a doctor, right?"

Okay, come again?

Guo Mo found that he only asked one more question.

"Second sister is Shi Miyuan's adopted daughter. Making good use of this relationship will help you take over the court safely."

"The third sister is from the Murong family. Whether it is the Murong family's management in Xixia or the power of the Xixia princess, it will help you conquer Xixia in the future."

"As for the relationship between my sister-in-law, if you grasp it well, it may also be an opportunity for you to lead the army northward in the future."

"That Hua slave girl far south, you even gave birth to a son, so in the future the 'Luo Family Ghost Country' will definitely be included in the territory of the Song Dynasty."

In the darkness, Huang Rong was picking up the women related to Guo Mo one by one. What she brought to Guo Mo this time was no longer surprise, but a complete shock!

"Rong'er, who told you all this?"
