When he saw his fourth brother, he wanted to say something. Xue Dian was afraid that he would not keep his mouth shut, so he quickly stopped him and let Guo Mo go to the house.

The group of people did not reach the hall, but walked to the backyard. It seemed that old Xue Ji was really seriously ill.

Sure enough, Guo Mo saw Xue Ji in his bedroom.

As soon as he saw Guo Mo come in, old Xue Ji struggled to get out of bed.

"Mr. Xue, please lie down and don't move -"

Guo Mo walked forward with a quick step, reached out and held Xue Ji's hand to stop him.

"Your Majesty, old minister, I am useless. I can't even go out to greet His Majesty when he arrives."

Guo Mo did not speak, but placed two fingers on Xue Ji's pulse, closed his eyes slightly, and began to diagnose Xue Ji.

Guo Mo, who came later in life, was a Chinese student, and he had no distinction between literature and history. He also had a certain understanding of the history of the Song Dynasty.

Although he couldn't remember how long Xue Ji lived, he knew that in real history, after the death of Emperor Ning Zong, Guo Mo's father, Xue Ji still reigned for more than ten years.

From this point of view, the old man should not have left so early. Could it be that his arrival would also change the fate of old Xue Ji?

"Your Majesty, please don't bother yourself. The imperial doctor has also come and said that my bones may not be able to withstand it anymore. I am decrepit. It seems that I really need to go see Old Man Wei."

Xue Ji was very moved when he saw Guo Mo treating him, but he seemed to have lost sight of life and death, so he lay there again and said calmly.

“Mr.

After Guo Mo checked, he found that there was nothing wrong with old Xue Ji, but that he was overworked.

It suddenly occurred to me that the territory of the Song Dynasty has more than doubled compared to ten years ago?

Food, population, commerce, economy, etc. can be restored slowly, but officials in various places cannot wait for a moment.

Moreover, the local officials Guo Mo needed were different from the original requirements of the Song Dynasty. It can be said that the vast majority of officials needed to be re-selected, trained, and assessed.

These matters largely fell on the head of the Ministry of Personnel, and Xue Ji, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was naturally the first to bear the brunt.

"Your Majesty, are you telling the truth?..."

Old Xue Ji didn't have much reaction. He only thought of Guo Mo's words as comforting himself, while brothers Xue Dian and Xue An standing aside were very excited.

Especially the fourth son, Xue An, who originally regarded Guo Mo as a god. Although what Guo Mo said was very different from the diagnosis of those imperial doctors, he would rather believe what Guo Mo said.

"Haha, why don't you believe me yet? Jun Wu is joking, I said Mr. Xue can live for another ten years. Even if the King of Hell comes, he can't snatch him away from me."

After Guo Mo finished speaking, he gently turned Xue Ji over and let him lie directly on the bed.

The technique of secretly moving the "One Yang Finger" mobilizes the innate true energy in the body, and uses the method of "stroking the acupoints" to gently move between the various acupoints on Xue Ji's body.

From the top of the head, to the sun, Fengchi, from Jianjing, Dazhu to Huiyang, I traveled three times.

Old Xue Ji felt more comfortable than ever before, and there seemed to be a warm current filling his lower abdomen.

“Mr.

"The sunshine during the day is still too harsh now. You can take a walk in the courtyard of the mansion in the early morning and evening."

"This time I brought something from Ningxia. Soak it in hot water and drink it. It can nourish your liver and kidneys, improve your energy and improve your eyesight."

"In addition, sir, you can't always sit or lie down. I will ask Mr. Zhao to come over again. When I was in Luoyang, I once implemented a set of "Quanzhen Dao Song" for health preservation. It seems that it should be implemented throughout the Song Dynasty.

Went down."

When Xue Ji sat up again, he found that his energy was much better, his hands and feet had some strength, and he felt hungry in his stomach.

"Haha, Mr. Xue, I wonder if I am lucky enough to have lunch at your place?"

Seeing Xue Ji's look, Guo Mo guessed that what he did just now had an effect, so he spoke.

"Your Majesty is able to have a meal at my house. It is a blessing for the whole family. Please hurry up and ask the kitchen to prepare some delicious dishes and send them to the living room."

"Your Majesty, let An'er take you to the living room first. Let me change my clothes and wash up before I go to dine with you."

Guo Mo readily agreed. He didn't really want to come to Xue Mansion for a meal. He originally wanted to discuss some matters with Xue Ji, and it was only right that he personally diagnose and treat this veteran.

In the living room of Xue Ji's house, there were usually very few guests. Especially after Guo Mo ascended the throne, old Xue Ji became even more cautious in his words and deeds.

In the eyes of others, he was an important minister of the two dynasties, especially in the Hongwu New Dynasty, he was the leader of hundreds of officials.

Nowadays, the composition of officials in the Song Dynasty is quite complex, and they are all trying their best to get close to and curry favor with this leader of the hundred officials.

It's a pity that Xue Ji was very meticulous when working away from home, and when he returned home, he simply closed the door and thanked guests. The only people who could walk through the door of Xue's family were often only a few familiar "cabinet" people.

He is a typical "Jia Xu" type of person who would rather give up possible interests than touch anything that endangers himself or his family.

“Mr.

When Xue Ji came to his living room, Guo Mo was already sitting and serving tea under the greetings of Xue Dian and Xue An.

However, Guo Mo asked someone to bring over a few empty teacups, and even asked for a pot of boiling water, and asked a "Jin Yi" to take something out of the gift he had brought.

Take an appropriate amount, put it directly into a teapot filled with boiling water, and steep it for as long as one cup of tea. Then pour the water from the teapot into the teacup.

"Your Majesty, when I drink this tea, it has a bitter taste at first, but then it has a dull sweetness. What is this?"

Xue Ji took a small sip and tasted the taste carefully.

"Haha, Mr. Xue is really a gentleman of tea. The brew made from this material can also be called tea. It can also be used to make wine, cook porridge, stew, etc."

"This thing is called wolfberry. It is a medicinal material and a food material. It can be grown everywhere in the Song Dynasty, but the one grown in Ningxia has the best medicinal effect."

There was not much time, and eight dishes, four cold and four hot, were served. Xue Ji knew that Guo Mo was frugal and did not like extravagance and waste, and he, Xue Ji, was a low-key person, so what he served was naturally home-cooked dishes.

Guo Mo really ate with gusto.

"I remember just now your eldest brother said your name was Xue An?"

Because Xue Ji was still ill, Guo Mo didn't let anyone serve wine. Everyone drank tea or the wolfberry water they had just brewed.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I am Xue An. I have heard a lot about Your Majesty's deeds since I was a child. This time I apply for the martial arts examination. I also want to follow in His Majesty's footsteps, enter the military camp of the Song Dynasty, and become a soldier who defends the territory of the Song Dynasty.

's hero."

"Haha, okay, okay, it's good for young people to have such ambitions, especially the children of officials of our dynasty. They should practice martial arts to strengthen themselves instead of turning themselves into dandies."

"Just now in front of the Xue Mansion, you seemed to have something to say, but your elder brother interrupted you. Can you say it now?"

Guo Mo originally came to visit today to discuss something with Xue Ji. Meeting his two sons was purely accidental.

"Well, Your Majesty, actually, this kid has liked to practice martial arts since he was a child, but he didn't have the guidance of a famous teacher, so he practiced with a few veterans who had retired from the army in the mansion."

"Now that the boy has also participated in the martial arts competition, if nothing unexpected happens, he should be in the top five in overall results."

"However, I am lucky enough to meet His Majesty today. I would like to...ask you for a favor..."

Xue An's voice became lower and lower, and he actually wanted to make a condition with Guo Mo.

Guo Mo suddenly remembered that when he first entered the harem yesterday, little Guo Xiang made a request to him in the same way, and he agreed in a vague way, and it seemed that he did not listen to what the little girl said in detail.

Now, Xue An in front of me also wants to make a request?

"Shut up! An'er, don't be rude! Your Majesty, don't listen to this boy's nonsense. Since this boy likes to dance with guns and sticks, our Song Dynasty now advocates martial arts and has a strong military. If he can really reach high school, the old ministers will fully support him.

of."

"However, the veteran did not allow him to ask for any 'favor' from His Majesty based on the veteran's reputation."

Guo Mo was still thinking about what happened to little Guo Xiang yesterday, when old Xue Ji beside him became angry and scolded his son severely.

Xue An lowered his head helplessly, but could not hide the disappointment in his heart.

"Haha, Mr. Xue, why are you doing this? I just like the fourth child in your family. Let's listen to what he wants. If it's not against the law, I will simply

It’s not a big deal to help him out.”

After all, Xue Ji was an important minister in two dynasties, and a loyal minister who had supported him for many years. Guo Mo would certainly not be stingy if he could give his son a favor.

"Your Majesty, boy... I want to enter the 'Jinyi'."

Xue An still expressed his deep thoughts.

"Jinyi" is a special existence. It is not an army or even an organization. It is more like Guo Mo's personal club.

But he was able to accept Guo Mo's personal teaching and guidance. When facing Guo Mo, he was given a special title - "Teacher".

It is a pity that "Jin Yi" has never expanded its recruitment since its establishment. It seems that except for the few "Jin Yi" leaders who came in and out, there has not been a single additional member.

"Haha, what do you think it is? If you just want to join 'Jinyi', I can completely agree to this."

"Well, won't the results of the martial arts competition come out in two days? If you really make it into the top five, I will allow you to enter the 'Jinyi'. Just stay at home and spend more time with your father these days."

"Thank you, Your Majesty—no, thank you, teacher—"

Hahaha, Guo Mo burst into laughter. He didn't expect that old Xue Ji, who was cautious in his words and deeds all his life, would actually give birth to such a lovable son.

"Your Majesty, you came to the old minister's house today not just to visit me, right?"

Old Xue Ji is an old man and a cunning man. It can be said that his eyelashes are all empty. He saw Guo Mo coming to see a doctor again and wanted to eat here, and even gave his son grace in front of him.

If he could no longer see that Guo Mo had something to discuss, then old Xue Ji would have spent all these years in officialdom in vain.

"Your Majesty, go down and see if the soup in the kitchen is ready. Fourth brother, please come with me -"
