Guo Mo and his party set out from Luoyang and arrived in Lin'an in more than thirty days.
When they were approaching the city gate, Li Mochou suddenly bid farewell to Huang Rong.
Yes, we are about to enter Lin'an. There is Li Mochou's adoptive father in the city, Shi Miyuan, the prime minister and assistant of the dynasty.
After spending more than thirty days together, although everyone deliberately avoided it, they all knew in their hearts that Guo Mo would definitely have a conflict with the Prime Minister when he returned to the court this time.
"Second sister, you haven't been back for two or three years, right? Then go home and have a look. The official family has arranged a residence in Changqingfang. If you have time, come and play with my sister."
Huang Rong knew that she couldn't stay with him any longer. She had made insinuations along the way, but Li Mochou always pretended to be dumbfounded.
After talking too much, Huang Rong had no choice but to give up on the grounds that she had already tied her hair and became a monk, saying that she had sworn an oath in front of her master's grave.
She could see that Li Mochou had that intention in mind. She seemed to have too many worries, maybe she was just waiting for something.
Li Mochou's departure did not have any impact on the team, it was just that one person was missing.
Old Cheng Jue was also leaving, but before leaving, he still told Guo Mo something.
"Your Highness, do you know that the house given to you by the officials has a great origin. It was the residence of Han Yuzhou, the former powerful prime minister of our dynasty. Its land area and level of luxury are the highest in Lin'an."
"Over the years, our prime minister has been coveting it and wanting to take it as his own. I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also plotting this place and wants to move out of the palace and use it as the location of the East Palace."
The prince prince system can be traced back to the Xia and Shang Dynasties, but at that time it only had practical applications and no specific system.
The Qin Dynasty failed to establish a prince, which led to the tampering of imperial edicts and ultimately its demise. This lesson was deeply learned by the Han Dynasty.
As a result, the prince was established early, and this system has been followed by later generations.
In order to consolidate the prince's status, not only were the princes assisted by senior officials, but also a think tank responsible for planning and a large number of officials were appointed.
However, the Song Dynasty changed from normalcy and not only greatly weakened the prince's East Palace, but also weakened the prince's influence.
Even the prince himself has become very fragile, far from his original strength.
For example, the current prince Zhao Hong only has the position of prince, but does not have a specific location of the East Palace.
In other words, wherever the prince is, the East Palace is there, and Zhao Hong just lives in the palace, an independent palace.
"Haha, that's good. It suits my status as a 'little overlord', doesn't it? It's such a good place. You, the Sima of Prince Yan's Mansion, should hurry up and take up your post."
"I dare not say anything else. I am greeted with good wine and delicious food every day. I am not familiar with the officials in the DPRK. You just see who is suitable and move them to Prince Yan's Mansion."
"There is no limit to young or old, civil or military. I only have one requirement - to be able to work in a down-to-earth manner. 'Please go elsewhere to get promoted and make money. Don't come here if you are greedy for life and afraid of death'!"
Later, the words of the founding father were passed on to the old Cheng Ju by Guo Mo.
"Old minister, I have learned a lesson——"
Old Cheng Jue bowed to Guo Mo respectfully, perhaps more in response to his last words, but he turned around and walked away with the limited edition carriage.
Since the officials had prepared such a large palace, Guo Mo was disrespectful and directly arranged all the five hundred guards of the Yan Palace into the palace.
After actually living in it, I realized that this house is really ridiculously big.
Guo Mo estimates that it may not necessarily be smaller than the imperial palace. The key is that the overall size is square and square, which is much better than the plan of the official palace.
"Rong'er, let's go and arrange a place for everyone first. My mother, eldest brother, sister-in-law, father-in-law, and mother-in-law have all set aside independent courtyards for them and fixed them."
Since there are such good conditions, Guo Mo naturally wants everyone to live together so that it can be convenient to take care of anything.
From the main entrance to the back house, you actually have to enter the yard seven times. You have to ride a horse to walk around your own house, right?
If it is said to be in Changqingfang, it is only talking about the main entrance of Prince Yan's Mansion.
The entire mansion, whether east-west or north-south, spans two streets.
Especially in the middle of the house, there is a five-story "Star-Zhaing Tower", which has almost caught up with the height of the Yellow Crane Tower.
I don’t even understand how such a house was allowed to be built. Didn’t you know that there is a word called “over-regulation”?
"Mo'er, is it suitable for my mother to live here?"
When Li Ping saw such a splendid mansion, she still felt a little hesitant in her heart. It was even more magnificent than Prince Yan's Mansion in Luoyang.
"Haha, mother can stay here. No matter how magnificent the mansion is in the world, if mother wants to live in it, the children will be taken over by you."
"You kid, you just talk nonsense."
Li Ping was still very happy, but she felt that it was too deserted to live in such a big courtyard alone.
Moreover, the eldest son Guo Jing was not here either, so Hua Zheng was asked to move in with little Guo Ping and Zhang Ting.
Of course, Guo Mo would not force these trivial matters. The courtyards were all allocated according to his ideas. As for how to live, it all depended on the wishes of his mother, Li Ping.
The news that His Highness King Yan had returned to Lin'an spread like wildfire.
Will no one know about such a big movement?
Guo Mo's team of more than 500 people entered from the west gate of Lin'an and marched through half of Lin'an City before turning south and entering Changqingfang via Imperial Street.
On the route, we walked a quarter of the city.
Fortunately, Lin'an was in the rear, otherwise a cavalry group of several hundred people would have thought they were coming to steal the city.
Surprisingly, before the team arrived at Royal Street, many people, men and women, appeared in front of the road to welcome them, holding all kinds of wine, meat, melons and fruits in their hands.
Is this a labor force?
It seems like he didn’t go out to conquer the war and return to the dynasty?
Outside the gate of Prince Yan's Mansion, there were hundreds of officials of seventh and eighth grade waiting, holding various greeting cards and gift lists in their hands.
In fact, Guo Mo had received news from Nan Xiren in advance, saying that the "glorious deeds" of His Highness King Yan had been circulating throughout Lin'an City recently.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! What about taking Luoyang on horseback, what about riding alone to conquer Hedong, what about being on the battlefield of Xixia, burning a company for 800 miles, and killing sixty-eight Mongolians in Zhongdu City
General...
He also said that the people of the Jin Kingdom are now preparing to send more than ten state capitals, including Xiqin Road, Qingyuan Road, and Jingzhaofu Road, as gifts to His Highness King Yan.
As long as His Highness King Yan nods, the Mongolian cavalry is willing to take down the entire Xixia and give His Highness King Yan a fiefdom.
In other words, His Highness King Yan came down from heaven to save the Song Dynasty. Only under the leadership of His Highness King Yan could the Song Dynasty return to its old place and regain the glory of its ancestors.
...
Well, Guo Mo knew they would get into trouble, but he didn't expect the storm to come so violently?
If any minister were to change this, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to bear it. Even the wisest monarch would probably weigh it in his heart.
Whether it was the welcome from the common people or the salutations from officials, Guo Mo accepted them all.
In Guo Mo's words, "Everyone has sent it to me. If I don't accept it, will it chill the other person's heart?"
It turns out that our Prince Yan is also a considerate person.
Unfortunately, Guo Mo asked his personal guards to collect all the greeting cards from those officials and sent them all to old Cheng Ju, telling him that these people must not be accepted into Prince Yan's Mansion.
He also asked Old Cheng Jue to cooperate with the "Imperial City Division" to check the background of all these people. If there are any criminals, all of them should be sent to the Criminal Department and handed over to Song Ci for processing.
"Brother Mo, isn't this a bit too much? You accepted someone's gift, but you still want to send someone to the Ministry of Punishment?"
Huang Rong, who was standing nearby, didn't understand.
Guo Mo didn't shy away from it, he said it seriously in front of everyone.
"Rong'er, the so-called 'giving and accepting bribes, taking bribes and bending the law' are not allowed by the law. Now that I accept gifts from others, if I feel so at ease, it is a violation of the law."
"At least there are suspicions of committing crimes. However, I have now voluntarily disclosed these lists, and even reported some of the people who committed crimes to the Ministry of Punishment."
"Then these people constituted 'bribery', but I did not 'breach the law'. I will also have people send all these gifts to the Ministry of Household Affairs later."
"Give it directly to Yue Ke, the Minister of Household Affairs, and let him cash it in or convert it into supplies and distribute it to those people who have difficulty surviving the winter."
"In this way, I will no longer be 'taking bribes' and 'corrupting money', and the people will also get benefits, so why not do it?"
Well, Guo Mo's weird remarks spread throughout the streets and alleys of Lin'an in half a day.
The problem is, that's what he said, and what's more, he did it.
Old Cheng Jue, Song Ci who was on vacation from the Criminal Department, Nan Xiren from the "Imperial City Department", and Yue Ke from the Household Department all acted upon the news and implemented Guo Mo's instructions.
"Li Yushi, if Guo Mo does this, won't we have one less piece of evidence to impeach him tomorrow?"
Li Zhixiao and his colleagues at the Yushitai also received the news, and many people asked worriedly.
"Haha, he is indeed a vulgar big-headed soldier who doesn't understand the world. He is simply seeking death."
"Not only will those hundreds of officials be cut off, but they will also have a reputation for being mean. We can't impeach him for 'corruption and accepting bribes.' Can't we also impeach him for colluding with important officials in the DPRK and using public weapons for private use?"
"He is just a vassal king, but he can actually mobilize the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Imperial City Department and other big officials. Don't you think this article may have more weight?"
Li Zhixiao's words immediately broadened the thinking of all the colleagues at Yushitai.
That's right, Guo Mo started his career in the army, he has already respected himself as a soldier, and now he has such great prestige and control among important officials in the court.
If you were an official today, would you be able to sit still?
Can you still sleep peacefully in Funing Palace?
the answer is--
able!
When it was time to hold the lantern again, the official Zhao Kuo still stayed in Funing Palace, watching all kinds of news sent in by the "Imperial City Secretary".
Zhao Kuo has lived in the palace for a long time, and the "Imperial City Secretary" is his most effective eyes and ears.
Many times, he may not necessarily want to control someone, but in fact, he is more bored and wants to read all kinds of "gossip".
"Haha, this Xiao Qi did something like this as soon as he entered Lin'an City. I'm afraid no one expected it, right?"
"Old man, let me send two sets of royal decrees to Prince Yan's Mansion tomorrow. One is for Mo'er's adoptive mother, Li Ping. Let's call her 'Mrs. Yue Guo'."
"One set of seals was given to Hua Zheng, Guo Jing's wife, and she was named 'Mrs. Zhao'. Although Guo Jing is the ruler of the capital, Hua Zheng is a Mongolian princess after all. We can't show that our Song Dynasty is too stingy."
Anyone who has anything to do with Guo Mo, including the official Zhao Kuo, is really generous. He can treat two ladies of the country in one move. This is the highest level of imperial edict.
"Guan family, please look at tomorrow's morning court. Do you want to inform Master Qi not to come over? I think they will attack Master Qi."
The old eunuch standing aside wrote down everything the officials said, but then raised his own concerns.
"It doesn't matter, they just want to take advantage of Xiao Qi's military power. Let's just wait and see the good show——"
Well, does this father trust his son so much?
The next day, before dawn, Guo Mo got up.
This evil early morning system will definitely affect your physical development if you go to school too much.
Fortunately, the location of Prince Yan's Mansion is quite close to the palace. If Guo Mo wanted to ride there, he would just go out of the gate and turn left, and then go south after reaching Yu Street.
It took at most a quarter of an hour before and after. In this era, there was no need to worry about traffic jams, and at that time, there were only officials and entourage who were going to court.
After Guo Mo washed up, he even put on a python robe of King Yan. Breakfast had just been served and before he was ready to eat, old Cheng Jue walked in from outside.
"Haha, it's better to come early than to come by chance. It's just in time for dinner, but I'm so disrespectful."
Cheng Ju sat down and started to eat on the table.
Guo Mo almost forgot that this old boy is now the Sima of Prince Yan's Mansion, and there is no need to announce before entering the gate.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He shook his head helplessly and had to ask the soldiers to send some more.
"Is Cheng Sima coming to take office now? That's not right. Why are you still wearing these clothes?"
Old Cheng Jue's decision to become a Sima in Prince Yan's Mansion has been issued. Originally, the subordinate officials of the Prince's Mansion still depended on Guo Mo himself. Reporting to the court was just a matter of process.
But today, Cheng Jue is still wearing the official uniform of the Minister of Rites.
"Haha, Your Highness, I know that you will be going to court soon. Cheng Jue, the Minister of Rites, who is not on vacation, has also been invited by me to help you stand up and support you."
Seeing that old Cheng Ju still looked like he couldn't get along, what he said made Guo Mo feel warm in his heart.
"Haha, then please ask Cheng Sima to thank Mr. Cheng Shu for this king."
After the two had breakfast, Guo Mo rode a horse and Cheng Ju rode a sedan, rushing to the main entrance of Li.
In the "Daqing Hall", today was just an ordinary morning dynasty, not a monthly dynasty meeting. Unexpectedly, all the civil and military officials arrived quite neatly.
Even Cheng Jue, Yue Ke, Song Ci, Meng Zongzheng and others who had been thinking behind closed doors for several months suddenly stood in their seats.
Guo Mo looked around and felt a little embarrassed.
He didn't know where he should stand.
In the east row are civil servants, with Shi Miyuan standing at the head of the civil servants, followed by Cheng Jue, Xue Ji and others.
The west row is composed of military commanders. His Royal Highness Prince Zhao Hong has now participated in government affairs. He is standing at the head of the west row.
Guo Mo simply stood in the row of generals and did not move forward. He directly found a pillar near the gate and leaned against it, closing his eyes and concentrating.
This move of his frightened several low-level generals next to him. Do you want to be ranked in front of King Yan?
Several generals were at a loss, but no one dared to wake up Guo Mo from his sleep.
With little effort, under the guidance of the old eunuch, the official Zhao Kuo came out of the back hall and sat in the middle on the dragon chair.
Zhao Kuo looked around at the civil and military ministers, but he didn't see Guo Mo's shadow, and was a little puzzled.
Isn't this Xiaoqi hiding? Or is he still awake?
"Guanjia, look there -"
The old eunuch seemed to have read through Zhao Kuo's thoughts, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear, while looking at the pillars at the entrance of the "Daqing Hall".
"Pfft——"
Zhao Kuo quickly covered himself with the sleeves of his dragon robe. Fortunately, at first, no one dared to look up at him, an official.
"This kid doesn't do anything right no matter where he goes? How can he do it his own way? I'm so envious -"
Zhao Kuo murmured to himself.
The old eunuch next to him heard it really.
Well, if it were another person, it would be a complete lack of etiquette before the king. How come your son has become a model of "doing his own way"?
"My lords, do you have something to report?"
After the civil and military officials paid tribute to the officials, Zhao Kuo asked in a business-like manner.
"For official report, I received a report from His Highness King Yan yesterday, and together with the Imperial City Division, they verified the behavior of some unscrupulous officials and found that 42 people were suspected of committing crimes."
"It has been transferred to the Ministry of Punishment for sentencing and punishment. Your Majesty, Cheng Jue, is asking for merit for His Highness, King Yan."
Well, as soon as Zhao Kuo finished speaking, those censors, who were as sharp as their tongues, had not had time to step out, and they actually let Old Cheng Ju take advantage of the loophole.
Even Shi Miyuan, who was standing next to him, was startled. Why is this old guy so agile?
By the way, isn't he "recuperating"?
Cheng Ju did not retreat, but was still waiting for a reply from the officials. Song Ci, the Minister of Punishment, also came out to report.
"I am reporting this to the officials. I have a report from Song Ci. I originally followed the orders of the officials and stayed at home to reflect on my past mistakes. Suddenly, Mr. Cheng came to visit and said that a major case had occurred, implicating dozens of officials in our dynasty."
"As an official of the Ministry of Punishment of the Song Dynasty, I have committed a crime. I did not hesitate to disobey the official's will and return to the Ministry of Punishment to investigate the case overnight."
"The crimes committed by the forty-two suspected officials have been ascertained, and the witnesses and material evidence are all available. The confessions and confessions of these forty-two people have been brought to the door of the 'Daqing Hall' to invite the officials.
Jia Mingjian."
"Oh, let someone bring it in -"
Zhao Kuo thought it was quite interesting. He hadn't seen the censors take action yet, but someone else had taken the lead?
I want to see how this good show will end today?
Song Ci walked straight to the door of "Daqing Hall" and glanced at Guo Mo, who was leaning on a pillar and taking a nap, intentionally or unintentionally.
Well, we are all acting hard... No, we are working hard to be loyal to our country.
Your Highness, how about you hide here and sleep?
When Song Ci came back, he was followed by two warriors in front of the palace, each holding a thick stack of confessions.
The old eunuch should have come out to take it over, but how could it be appropriate to hold so many confessions?
"Just carry it over here——"
Official Zhao Kuo spoke again.
The two warriors in front of the palace placed the thick confession directly at the feet of the official, and then exited the "Daqing Palace".
How could Zhao Kuo understand so many confessions?
He randomly picked up two copies and flipped through them, then became furious and kicked down the other confessions, scattering them on the floor.
As an official, Zhao Kuo has a good temper and rarely gets angry in public like today.
"Look, are these the talents you hired for me? Especially the secretary office of the Ministry of Industry, which got a 'shangshang' in last year's evaluation. Xue Ji, is this how your official department evaluates?"
Zhao Kuo directly threw the confession in his hand in front of Xue Ji, the Minister of Personnel.
"The officials and ministers are guilty——"
Xue Ji hurriedly walked out, picked up the confession from the ground, and knelt on the ground to plead guilty.
In the Song Dynasty, unless there was a large-scale sacrifice, there was rarely a ceremony to kneel down, but now Xue Ji knelt down.
He was also involved in the plans made at Shi Miyuan's house a few days ago.
I knew that Li Zhixiao had already taken action, but I didn't expect that the other party would take the lead before Shi Xiang's side started.
Old Xue Ji had a premonition that today's situation might not develop in the direction planned by Li Zhixiao, so he simply took this opportunity to kneel on the ground and could not get up.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yue Ke, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, has written a report. Yesterday, I was on duty at the Ministry of Household Affairs and received dozens of gift orders and several gifts from Prince Yan's Mansion."
"His Royal Highness King Yan explained that this was a gift from his colleagues in Lin'an. However, he did not receive any reward for his merits. If he returned, he was afraid of hurting his colleagues' kindness and face."
"These gifts were donated to the Ministry of Household Affairs free of charge. His Highness King Yan wanted these gifts to be cashed in or exchanged for useful supplies and sent to the people who have difficulty surviving the winter for free."
"I organized a manpower check overnight and calculated that the total value of these gifts is about 114,600 taels of silver. I asked the officials to ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to purchase the supplies and distribute them in the name of His Highness King Yan."
"Daqing Hall" fell into silence.
"It's amazing. This is to spend money to buy fame. The key is to use other people's money, and those who contributed the money were sent to the Ministry of Punishment."
Old Xue Ji was sitting on his knees on the ground, but his mind was spinning rapidly.
"Well, this can be considered a good deed. I'm sure. However, I hope that every penny here will be spent on the people. If I know that someone dares to do something here, there should still be room in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
"
He could not only provide relief to the victims, but also make his son famous, and he still spent money from the criminal officials. How could Zhao Kuo not allow it?
Li Zhixiao, who was standing in the middle of the civil service, saw it and felt something was wrong. He hurriedly made a gesture to the censor next to him.
"I have this note to report——"
Zhao Kuo took a look and saw that a censor walked out from among the civil servants. Was the fun about to begin?
"Liu Yushi, if you have any questions about this chapter, just report it——"
You can't help but let others play it. No matter what you say, you can do it, and even if you say something wrong, you don't have to take any responsibility.
The officials of the Song Dynasty can be said to be the most "rampant" group.
That's right, even if you can use the word "rampant", when they are in a bad mood, even officials dare to point and scold them in front of them.
This is due to the three chapters of the agreement made by Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty.
The first is that "the descendants of the Chai family are not allowed to have additional punishments if they are guilty. Even if they are guilty of treason, they will be punished in prison. They are not allowed to be punished and killed, and they are not allowed to include their relatives."
The second is "Do not kill scholar-bureaucrats or people who write letters and comment on matters."
The third is "Any descendant who exceeds this oath will be killed by God."
In the oath, it was clearly stated that officials in the Song Dynasty were not allowed to kill ministers and officials without authorization, otherwise they would be punished by heaven.
This oath was established by Song Taizu and has been passed down and continued from generation to generation of emperors.
"I want to impeach His Royal Highness Zhao Hao, the current King of Yan——"
The censor surnamed Liu shouted, and the "Daqing Hall" became quieter than before.
"Oh, why did Liu Qing impeach King Yan?"
"I impeach His Highness King Yan for a total of eighteen crimes——"
"The first one is nepotism. The state values weapons and gives and takes them privately;"
"The second one is dereliction of duty, being in one's position and not wanting to serve the country;"
"The third one is killing friendly countries without permission, which is cruel and unkind and disrespectful to the country;"
"The fourth one is forming a party for personal gain, colluding with important ministers, and plotting against evil;"
...
"The eighteenth one is extremely wild and rebellious, supporting the troops with self-respect and shaking the foundation of the country."
Well, Liu Yushi's impassioned report made the "Daqing Hall" buzz so loudly that even Guo Mo, who was dozing off, couldn't sleep anymore.
"What do you think of what Liu Yushi just played?"
Zhao Kuo asked slowly. No one knew what the official was thinking.
In fact, what Zhao Kuo was thinking just now was that if Xiao Qi was not his biological son, and was his only biological son, what he had done was really worthy of confiscating the entire family.
What a pity, you self-righteous guys.
"Official, I second the proposal——"
Seeing the official Zhao Kuo asking for the opinions of the ministers, Li Zhixiao hurriedly stood up.
"I second the proposal——"
"I second the proposal——"
"My lord, I second the motion—"
With a bang, at least one-third of the civil and military officials in the "Daqing Hall" came out to second the proposal.
Zhao Kuo took a look and found that almost all of them were officials of the fourth rank and below.
During the Song Dynasty, only court officials with grades above five were eligible to attend court.
In other words, those who jump out to impeach Guo Mo are still minor players.
"Shi Xiang, what do you think of this matter?"
Zhao Kuo saw that no one stood up again and no one came out to plead guilty for Guo Mo, so he directly called Shi Miyuan's name.
"Reporting to the official family, His Highness the King of Yan has excelled in literary and military skills since the "Martial Arts Examination" that year. He established the 'Dunwu Army', the 'Jingnan Army', the 'Yue Family Army', and also integrated the 'Zhongshun Army'
, the military strategy of that moment was unparalleled in the world."
"The two lakes resisted the Jin soldiers, and they took Luoyang on horseback. In Xixia, the Jin Kingdom played with the enemy chieftains while applauding. In just a few years, he has gathered more than 200,000 elite soldiers and generals under his command. He is truly the military god of the world!"
"In my opinion, whether the Song Dynasty can return its old capital to the north and whether it can fulfill Taizu's last wish all depends on His Highness the King of Yan."
Well, Shi Miyuan didn't comment on Liu Yushi's impeachment, he just kept "singing praises" for Guo Mo.
These words made some low-ranking officials, especially low-ranking generals, look surprised when they heard them.
However, those people in purple robes standing at the front had their brows furrowed.
A sweet mouth and a sword in the belly?
"Xiang Shi, do you disapprove of Liu Yushi's performance?"
Zhao Kuo continued to act stupid, how could he not see Shi Miyuan's sinister intentions?
"Liu Yushi, as an official of the country, was involved in the plans of the Song Dynasty. He was rumored to have done something. There were as many as 18 crimes listed. Even though it may not be possible to find the actual evidence, it seems that you have to investigate to find out.
....”
"Well, that's also an argument. Prince, what's your opinion?"
Prince Zhao Hong stood there, not to mention how happy he felt.
King Yan Zhao Hao can also be regarded as his "cheap brother". Although he has never met him, his famous name Zhao Hong has long been known to the ears.
Naturally, I was envious and jealous of his achievements, and fantasized that if I were put in that position, I would definitely do better than that wild boy.
Today, in the "Daqing Hall", I saw that one-third of the officials came out to impeach the King of Yan.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Moreover, Shi Miyuan, the leader of the hundred officials, can obviously hear that he also wants to investigate this King Yan, so he has achieved his wish.
"I report to the official family that I have never seen this younger brother of King Yan, but I have heard of his 'great achievements' for a long time. Every time I think about him, I really yearn for him."
"However, Prince Yan is still in his prime of life, and it is inevitable that he will act frivolously and carelessly. The officials will just keep him by their side and discipline him well for three to five years."
"As for Brother Yan's crimes, such as 'his great achievements shocked the lord' and 'supporting his troops with self-respect', I have heard many such words, but I don't want to believe them."
Well, another good brother who protects his younger brother is online.
"The prince is indeed kind--"
After hearing what Prince Zhao Hong said, Zhao Kuo nodded to him and expressed appreciation.
"Is King Yan here? If he is, please come forward and defend yourself. I will give you this opportunity."
Zhao Kuo pretended to be searching among the crowd.
Some of the military attachés lined up in front of Guo Mo stepped aside, exposing Guo Mo.
"Your Majesty Guo Mo, please see the official family——"
It's time for him to play. Guo Mo can no longer play dead dog from behind and slowly walk to the front.
"Good son, look how suitable this python robe is on Xiao Qi! He is mighty yet elegant. I heard that this boy also wrote an article "Bodhisattva Man" in Yellow Crane Tower. It's a pity that old Cheng Jui
It was snatched away."
Leng Buding was glared at by the official, and old Cheng Jue was a little confused.
"What does the official mean? Let Lao Cheng come out to protect His Highness King Yan? No, isn't this your own son? How serious are the charges just now?"
"King Yan, since you went to the 'Daqing Hall' and wore a python robe, then you are King Yan Zhao Hao. As for the name Guo Mo, let's put it aside for now."
"Do you have any defense against the eighteen charges that Liu Yushi just impeached you on?"
Zhao Kuo still asked slowly.
Isn’t this style of painting obviously wrong?
Those petty officials just made some mistakes that all officials would make, but you, the old man, ignored the king's etiquette and went crazy in the court.
This King of Yan even talks about "supporting troops and self-respect" and is about to "shake the country's foundation". Why are you still so slow and leisurely?
"I have nothing to say in defense. All the accusations are based on military power. I am willing to hand over all military power."
After Guo Mo finished speaking, he took out the gold medal that said "I am here in person" from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands.
This operation shocked everyone, including Zhao Kuo who was sitting on the throne.
However, there are also people who are ecstatic, such as those censors.
If they can really bring down the popular His Highness Prince Yan, they will be able to brag for a long time. This will also be another "great achievement" of Yushitai in decades!
"King Yan, do you know what you are doing? Are you willing to write off all your past achievements?"
Although Zhao Kuo had confidence in Guo Mo, he was worried that he was still a young man and would do irrational things when his mind got hot.
Old Cheng Jue, who was standing aside, was also anxious and wanted to go out to speak for Guo Mo again.
"Guan family, since all the royal censors are so afraid of me staying in the army, then I will leave."
"Just now the official mentioned my past achievements, so I wonder if I can exchange this gold medal of 'I am here in person' for a civil servant in the court? It can also be used to cultivate one's moral character."
Seeing the smile on Guo Mo's lips, Zhao Kuo felt relieved.
"This kid is probably going to do something bad again, so I'll just play along with you -"
"What King Yan said makes sense, but this gold medal that says 'I am here in person' is a precious object. You are the honorable King of Yan. What suitable match for a civil servant is there?"
"Xue Qing, please get up and stop lying on the ground. As the Minister of Civil Affairs, do you know of any suitable official positions for King Yan?"
This kind of operation makes all civil and military officials confused.
what's the situation?
The King of Yan wanted to exchange the gold medal for "I am here in person" with a civil official, but the official actually agreed?
Is this going to be a public sale of official positions and titles in the "Daqing Hall"?
Shi Miyuan also frowned, always feeling that something was wrong, but still couldn't figure it out.
He has had this feeling several times in the past few years, and every time it seems to be related to His Highness King Yan.
Xue Ji saw that he was kneeling on the ground and couldn't hide, so he had no choice but to stand up.
"Reporting to the official family, His Royal Highness, King Yan, is a first-grade king. To be a civil servant, you must have at least a third-grade title or above. However, it seems that there is no suitable one in the court now."
Shi Miyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Xue Ji's words.
It seems that at the critical moment, this Xue Huizhi is still facing him.
"Haha, I won't bother Shangshu Xue with this matter. In fact, there is such a civil servant position, neither high nor low, just starting from the second rank."
"It's just that for hundreds of years in the Song Dynasty, no one has actually held this position, so it is not easy for Xue Shangshu to think of it."
Guo Mo looked at Xue Ji opposite and said with a smile.
"From the second rank? No one has ever held this position in the Song Dynasty? Could it be..."
Old Xue Ji's eyes widened. He couldn't believe that the young man in front of him had such a profound strategy?
"Haha, yes, Xue Shangshu must have thought of it too, right? Guo Mo wants nothing more than the imperial censor!"
