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?"
Guo Mo asked in a daze.
"Do you need someone to tell me this? It's all obvious. How simple it is. I really don't know how someone as smart as you can't even see this?"
Well, you are a female Zhuge, whatever you say makes sense.
"Actually, I know that whether it is the second sister or the third sister, they all like you..."
Huang Rong's voice came again, long and low.
Which woman is really willing to share her man with another woman?
...
Guo Mo stayed in Luoyang City for more than a month, dealing with some necessary matters, especially in Guo Jing's "Jingnan" army. Guo Mo stayed for half a month.
In troubled times, the strength of the military is the most important.
Guo Mo felt that even if he, the "commander", could not handle everything personally, he should at least be familiar with it in front of his brothers.
Within half a month, he put on the most ordinary military uniforms, took his two apprentices Wu Nantian and Haji, and ate, lived and trained with the "Jingnan" army.
Guo Mo had experienced such days when the "Dunwu" Army was first established. Now that he has experienced it again, he is even more familiar with it.
With Guo Mo's ability, he must be the first in every training, and he has to hold down his own performance so that others behind him can see the hope and courage to catch up.
They change different military camps every day, train during the day, and gather in the spacious training field at night.
A bonfire is lit, or two apprentices demonstrate the killing moves on the battlefield, and each learns the unique skills to save life with both hands.
Either Guo Mo would organize officers with more than a hundred generals to conduct simple military training, share battle stories, or strengthen the ideological discipline of the army.
Before the arrival of the Beginning of Winter, everyone was finally ready and embarked on the road south.
"Dongxie" Huang Yaoshi didn't like to act with large troops, so he took Jin Xiangyu and took the lead and went back to "Peach Blossom Island".
The team going south is really quite big, including mother Li Ping, sisters-in-law Hua Zheng and Xiao Guoping, junior sisters Zhang Ting and Ha Ji, plus old Cheng Ju, the new Sima of Prince Yan's Palace.
With women and children present, three extra large carriages were added to the team. In order to reduce the turbulence, Guo Mo personally found his sixth brother Feng Mofeng and made a shock-absorbing system for the carriages.
My mother-in-law, Li Ping and Hua Zheng, took a ride with little Guoping.
Old Cheng Jui monopolized one car and threatened to take it directly to his home after arriving in Lin'an.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Searching throughout the Song Dynasty, there is no place to find such a good shock absorption system.
Guo Mo was helpless, but he still refused to suffer.
"Cheng Sima, it's okay if you want this carriage, even if it's half a year's salary of the Sima of Prince Yan's palace."
Leaving the stunned old Cheng Ju behind, Guo Mo walked away with great victory.
The other free car became Huang Rong, Li Mochou and Zhang Ting's boudoir. Because it was spacious enough, the three of them could lie side by side in it without feeling crowded.
Guo Mo not only did the shock-absorbing treatment, but also added a thick layer of felt cloth in the middle to prevent rain and water.
There is even a layer of iron plate reinforced inside to prevent accidents.
Of course, keeping warm is also a must. Thick quilts and mattresses are a must. Who knows if you will miss the dormitory.
With so many female relatives, they directly brought five hundred guards from Prince Yan's palace to accompany them.
In the front, Senior Brother Chen Xuanfeng led 200 people to clear the way, and in the back, Second Senior Sister Mei Chaofeng led 200 people to the rear, leaving 100 people in the middle.
Each team is about ten miles apart, and they are walking within the Song Dynasty to ensure nothing goes wrong.
Zhao Chengyu was recalled to Luoyang City by Guo Mo.
After all, Zhao Rushu is not young anymore. With his youngest son by his side, he can command the remaining guards of King Yan and take care of his old man nearby.
Hungry for food and thirsty for drink, travel at dawn and stay overnight.
The road from Luoyang to Lin'an is not very close, it is more than two thousand miles.
And they couldn't take the shortest road, which would have to pass through the Kingdom of Jin. The large group of people could only go around the territory of the Song Dynasty.
After leaving Henan Prefecture, go south through Ruzhou and Dengzhou, enter Xiangyang, then turn southeast and head towards Lin'an.
Because they brought their mother Li Ping with them, everyone was not in a hurry and just treated it as a family trip.
Whenever you pass by any local places of interest, you must stop, and you will naturally not miss out on the delicious food and wine from all over the place.
This made old Cheng Ju extremely happy. Don't look at the scumbag in front of this man and Guo Mo, looking like he was relying on his old age.
But he was actually a second-ranked scholar, participated in the compilation of national history, and even had his own poetry collection, which is said to have included more than 200 poems. He was a serious cultural person.
Guo Mo knew this person in later generations and also knew that he wrote many lyrics. Unfortunately, he could not remember any of them. Indeed, none of them were classics.
Since it was a trip, old Cheng Ju, the only cultural person, naturally had to leave some calligraphy treasures, so many white walls and pavilion pillars suffered, but old Cheng Ju never tired of it.
For this reason, we took an extra day of walking and detoured to the Yellow Crane Tower.
Li Ping was very excited to see her mother. Hua Zheng, Zhang Ting and others also rushed to go. Guo Mo did not dampen everyone's interest and let the guards stationed on the spot. He only took ten guards to Huanghe.
building.
Climbing high, looking far, meditating, and feasting, these are the four most beautiful things in life.
Yellow Crane Tower is one of the four famous towers in China. It is as famous as Yueyang Tower, Stork Tower and Tengwang Pavilion. It is located on Turtle Mountain and opposite Snake Mountain.
Everyone came over after dinner, and Old Cheng Jue also grabbed a bottle of wine. Are you looking for a feeling in the Yellow Crane Tower?
The Yellow Crane Tower has a total of five floors. I don't know if there is really "one flower, one world", but Guo Mo feels that the Yellow Crane Tower in front of him can be called "one floor, one view".
With Lao Cheng Ju as a free tour guide, everyone can also appreciate the stories beyond the beautiful scenery. Various legends and poems about the Yellow Crane Tower are also emerging one after another.
"Cheng Sima, I hear you talking about other people's poems all the time, but you should also come up with one about Yellow Crane Tower -"
Guo Mo had a very good temper with this old Cheng Jue, and he often "ran on" him along the way.
In terms of title, he is always called "Cheng Sima", which seems to remind -
"You are always under the control of my Prince Yan's Mansion."
"Haha, Your Highness, you really can't win over Lao Cheng. There are poems written by Boling Cui Hao here. Even Li Taibai wrote about them when he came here. He once said, 'There is a scene in front of me that I can't understand. Cui Hao wrote a poem here.
Top'."
"Although I can write two strokes, I'm not so arrogant as to compete with the 'Exiled Immortal'. If Your Highness can write one, Cheng will worship you no matter how good or bad he is."
Hey, Guo Mo didn't expect that he didn't provoke Cheng Ju, but this old boy turned back and attacked him?
"Second Senior Brother, compose a song for him. Huh, he obviously looks down on you. He told me many nice stories when I was young."
Guo Mo’s generation of idiot fans is online.
"Yes, come on, master, we all support you!"
Well, could such an honest kid like Haji be a bad learner?
I almost forgot, this is Guo Mo’s second-generation fan.
The three of them coaxed each other, and Huang Rong and others, who were watching the scenery elsewhere, also gathered around.
"Brother Mo, I haven't seen you write poetry before. Do you really know how to do it?"
Huang Rong asked with some uncertainty.
Tang poetry and Song lyrics are a prosperous age that countless Chinese people are proud of and yearn for.
During the Song dynasty, whether it was the Bianliang period or the Lin'an period, the Song Dynasty was still the place where literary style was most prosperous in the world.
Ci, in particular, reached its historical peak in the Song Dynasty, and a large number of well-known poets emerged.
Su Shi, Xin Qiji, Ouyang Xiu, Li Qingzhao, Wang Anshi, Liu Yong, Lu You, Yan Zhu, Zhou Bangyan...
Well, Guo Mo came late and he couldn't catch up with these people.
The closest thing is that when Xin Qiji passed away, Guo Mo was seven years old, and when Lu You passed away, Guo Mo was ten years old...
There is no one alive today who has achieved too much success as a lyricist, but there are still many people who write lyrics.
For example, the old Cheng Jue in front of me, Liu Kezhuang and Yue Ke recommended by Guo Mo, are all famous contemporary poets.
Looking at the "expectant" looks in the girls' eyes, Old Cheng Jue took out a wine glass from his sleeves and drank from it while squinting at himself.
It seems to be saying: "Your Highness, King Yan, can't you play with words?"
Well, if Guo Mo is angry, he won't hit him in one place.
After all, my friend graduated from the Chinese Department in his "last life", so he still doesn't know how to write a first verse?
Look at my bad temper. Even if I can't do it, I still can't recite a song?
Guo Mo thought quickly, it seems that Dayuan is not good, is there anything about Yellow Crane Tower in Ming and Qing Dynasties?
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The Yellow Crane Tower has stood for more than a thousand years. Ever since Cui Hao came and Li Taibai added support to him, not many people dare to do it anymore.
wrote.
In other words, even if I wrote poems about Yellow Crane Tower, there is nothing outstanding about it.
"How are you doing, my Lord Yan? Do you need me to pour you a glass of wine and let it brew for a while?"
Seeing Guo Mo's "speechless" look, old Cheng Jue felt as if he had taken betel nut Shunqi Pills, not to mention how comfortable he was.
"Haha - Cheng Sima, I let you down, I will serve you with pen and ink -"
Guo Mo snatched the wine bottle from Cheng Jue's hand, unscrewed the lid, said "ton, ton, ton -" and drank it all with a tilt of his neck.
Soldiers had already come up and brought pens, ink, paper and inkstones.
These were originally prepared for old Cheng Ju. This old boy has no "martial ethics" and likes to leave ink everywhere.
From the perspective of protecting the environment, Guo Mo asked his soldiers to prepare the Four Treasures of the Study for him at all times.
It’s still the same round and thin gold regular script, Guo Mo said silently in his heart while writing.
"My dear, I'm really sorry. I'd like to borrow your old man's calligraphy treasure to deal with these ancients."
Bodhisattva Man·Yellow Crane Tower
The vast nine sects flow across China, a thin line passes through the north and the south. The mist and rain are vast, and turtles and snakes lock the river.
Where does the yellow crane go? There are still tourists here. Drinking wine and drinking wine, your heart is racing with waves!
There is no need to add any details to the text, just write it in one stroke.
Old Cheng Jue didn't care that Guo Mo had just finished his bottle of wine, and with agility rarely seen at this age, he snatched the rice paper from Guo Mo's hand.
"This... Your Highness, is this really what you wrote?"
Old Cheng Ju couldn't believe his eyes. He looked at the Bodhisattva Man on the paper, then looked to the side and looked up at Guo Mo, who was looking at the sky at a 45-degree angle to the left.
The background of this Bodhisattva Man is somewhat similar to Guo Mo's situation at the moment.
Ambitious and ambitious.
He is full of confidence in the great cause of the future, and can clearly see the real difficulties at present. This word alone describes the feelings that Guo Mo "should" have in his heart at this time.
Seeing old Cheng Jui moved and looking like he was doing everything he could, did he play a little too hard?
"Your Highness is a man of extraordinary talent, but I use my words to excite you. I pride myself on being well-read in poetry and books, and my literary talent is elegant. Compared with Your Highness, it is like a fluorescent fire competing for the brightness of the bright moon! I am ashamed of myself——"
Well, it actually made old Cheng Jui cry?
"Cheng Shangshu, poetry is just a small way after all. How can it be compared to Cheng Shangshu who has been serving as an assistant official in the court for many years, and a commoner at home, and the boy Meng Lang was just doodling with his hands."
Guo Mo hurried over, supported the old Cheng Jue who was shaking with excitement, and even gave him a bit of "Nine Yang Qi". He was really worried that the old man would come out after being stimulated.
"'Little road'? 'Graffiti'? Your Highness can write such masterpieces casually. If Your Highness wants to enter the world of poetry, he should be no less than Su Dongpo and Xin Jiaxuan!"
Well, I can't accept this, and I don't dare to accept it.
When later generations commented on poetry, "Su Xin's Ci" was used as a label for Song poetry. How could Guo Mo dare to be compared with these two people?
If we really want to compare him, it would be the Taizu of the later generations of the Celestial Dynasty, not Guo Mo.
This is also a memorable story during the journey.
Others can't see the good or the bad, or they can only "not realize the severity".
In the end, this piece of rice paper also belonged to old Cheng Jue. He said that after returning to Lin'an, he framed it and hung it in the lobby of his home.
From then on, old Cheng Jue no longer searched for secrets or recited poems, and everyone's journey speeded up.
...
Lin'an, Funing Palace.
The official Zhao Kuo was sitting behind the imperial desk, with several secret books in front of him and a memorial in his hand.
"Old man, do you think Shi Miyuan and the prince really have the same heart?"
The only person who can be called an "old thing" by an official is his personal old eunuch.
His given name has been discontinued for a long time. Officials call him "Old Man" and other eunuchs call him "Old Ancestor".
As for people on the official side, they respectfully call you "Master Jiji" in person, but behind the scenes, it depends on each person's mood.
"Guan family, who can say clearly about this kind of thing, but I believe that as long as Master Qi is here, these will not be a problem."
The old eunuch seemed to have been standing there, refusing to speak unless the official Zhao Kuo called him.
"This Cheng Jue is really a cunning old man. I asked him to suspend his duties for half a year and shut himself up to think about his mistakes. He actually asked for sick leave again and even went all the way to Luoyang to 'recuperate'?"
"It's great now. I'm going to be a Sima at Xiao Qi's place. He's also said to be suspended for half a year and there will be no food left at home. Will I reduce his salary?"
"However, this old boy said that two women appeared next to Xiao Qi, and they are not ordinary people. One is a descendant of the Murong family of the Yan Kingdom in Xianbei, and the other is actually Shi Miyuan's adopted daughter."
"I remember that this woman personally gave Xiao Qi the 'Red Sky' sword two years ago, right? This time, are you here to use the 'beauty trap' again?"
"Xiao Qi is going to live in Lin'an for a while. It seems that they have made a plan. Old guy, please notify Zongzheng Temple tomorrow and have the house in Changqingfang cleaned up and put up a sign of 'Prince Yan's Mansion'
.”
Official Zhao Kuo said calmly, but the old eunuch's eyes lit up.
"Guan, do you want to give that house to Master Qi? That house is a bit hot. It was the residence of Prime Minister Han at that time. Prime Minister Shi has been thinking about it for many years."
"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also interested in that house recently. Don't you be afraid..."
"Hahaha - didn't you just say that as long as your seventh master is here, these are not problems?"
...
Lin'an Xicheng, Shi Xiangfu.
It's still the same little flower hall, seemingly unchanged from two years ago.
There were four people present. The person in charge was of course Shi Miyuan, the Prime Minister and Assistant Secretary of the dynasty. Sitting above him was Xue Ji, the Minister of Civil Service, with his head bowed. He coughed twice from time to time.
There were two people sitting with their hands hanging down. One of them was Nie Zhishu, who had been implicated in the Jiangling Magistrate case. Shi Miyuan didn't have many people available now. After two years, he brought Nie Zhishu up again.
While old Cheng Jui went to Luoyang to "recuperate" from his injuries, he made Nie Zhishu the Minister of Rites.
Another person, who was not seen often in the past, but has become very active in the past six months, is the supervisory censor Li Zhixiao.
This Li Zhixiao is not an ordinary person. Speaking of himself, he is one of the "three evils" of Shi Miyuan's "four trees and three evils".
Speaking of his ancestors, they are even more remarkable, and they come from a well-known family.
Li Zhixiao was the grandson of Li Guang, who was involved in political affairs after Li Dan, Emperor Ruizong of the Tang Dynasty.
It's a pity that I debuted late. I became a Jinshi in the fourth year of Jiading, and I was already forty-one years old at that time.
At first, he served as the director of writing in the Prime Minister's Office. Later, he attached himself to Shi Miyuan, and together with Liang Chengda and Mo Ze, he was known as the "Three Evils".
He repeatedly slandered others, speculated on official careers, deceived officials and ministers, deceived and harmed the country, excluded all kinds of talented people, plundered and amassed people, and did not know how to abide by the rules.
Such a person can actually enter the censorship and become a supervisory censor?
"I heard that His Highness Prince Yan is coming back——"
Shi Miyuan held his tea bowl tightly, as if it was still the same tea bowl he had a few years ago, and he couldn't put it down.
"What will happen if he comes back? He's just a young boy. It's okay to toss around a bunch of rough guys in the army. But when he gets to the court, can he get away with it?"
Nie Zishu hated Guo Mo so much that his teeth grew four feet tall. If it hadn't been for Guo Mo, he, Nie Zishu, might have already been in charge of a department by himself, and would he still have to beg for food from the old Cheng Ju's men?
"Prime Minister, what Guo Mo relies on is nothing more than military power. If we make him lose his military power, what difference will he have from a toothless tiger?"
"Not to mention Guo Mo, what about Yue Pengju back then? Didn't he just give in in the end?"
Shi Miyuan did not comment on Nie Zishu's words. He knew that this subordinate had hatred in his heart, so he didn't care.
It was what Li Zhixiao said that aroused his interest.
"Xiao Zhang, what's the plan?"
"Haha, has Prime Minister Li forgotten what Li does? Supervising the censor. Hearing about the incident, the three of them became tigers. Before he came to An, everyone in the censor station was mobilized."
"Whether it's the court or the people in Lin'an, how about Li letting our Prince Yan's great achievements surpass those of Emperor Qin and Han Wu, and catch up with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors? Hahaha——"
It’s the “higher merits than master” move again.
Although the trick is old-fashioned, it has worked for kings of all ages, not to mention that Guo Mo was not only a minister, 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 the meeting?"
Shi Miyuan already agreed in his heart, but he still habitually sought Xue Ji's opinion. After all, this was his number one adviser, although he had less contact with him recently.
"Li Yushi's plan may be a try."
Xue Ji said calmly.
But no one noticed the trace of disdain at the corner of Li Zhixiao's mouth and the angry look in Nie Zishu's eyes.
