Guo Mo was holding a piece of information that had just been sent to him. It was already time to light the candles, and candles had already been lit in Jixian Hall.
The tall lights of butter and wax shone like daylight, and braziers were placed in every corner. Although the entire Jixian Hall was empty, it was warm.
On the east side of Jixian Hall, Guo Mo also had people build a temporary heating pavilion. Scholars were inferior to warriors, and they always had to keep warmer in the bitterly cold winter.
The information had just been sent. Fortunately, all the important civil and military officials had settled in Prince Yan's Mansion. Guo Mo simply called a few people over to discuss this interesting information.
Zhao Rushu, the left chief of the Yan Palace, Sima Chengju, and Meng Gong, who proposed joining the army, were present here. Together with Xue Ji, the right chief of Lin'an, this was the troika of the Yan Palace.
In addition to these three people, Guo Mo also called in Wei Liaoweng, Du Gao and Liu Kezhuang, three strategic and pacification envoys, and even Guo Jing and Zhang Shijie were called over to listen.
Everyone had already eaten, so Guo Mo ordered someone to bring hot tea.
The content of the information was very short and had been circulated among everyone. Some people lowered their eyebrows and thought about it, while others hesitated to speak.
Only the little Zhang Shijie sat there respectfully, knowing that this was a rare learning opportunity given to him by his master.
"Your Highness, regarding your appointment of Miss Li as your concubine tomorrow, the officials directly announced it at the 'Daqing Palace' court meeting, and even sent His Highness the Crown Prince to personally deliver the betrothal gift to Yin County, Mingzhou."
"Now that person actually came to Luoyang City in person, and even moved into Miss Li's mansion the day before your wedding. I'm afraid this matter is not that simple, right?"
As the Sima of Prince Yan's Mansion, Cheng Jue had just arrived from Lin'an, so he certainly had his own say in this matter.
That's right, the old man who entered through the back door of that house was the most powerful prime minister of the Song Dynasty.
Official Zhao Kuo followed the old eunuch's advice and sent Prince Zhao Hong to Shi Miyuan's hometown in Yin County, Mingzhou to meet with the powerful prime minister, and at the same time gave him a valuable betrothal gift.
Such a move caused quite a shock among the government and the opposition in Lin'an.
Some people are speculating whether the official family is going to revert to history again?
Because of this, everyone knew that the concubine that His Highness King Yan was about to marry was actually the righteous daughter of the Prime Minister, Qian Jin.
In this way, one of them is a powerful prince with more than 200,000 elite men, and the other is a powerful prime minister who once dominated the government and had many disciples and old officials.
These two people are now connected through a concubine of King Yan, so the relationship network they formed is really unbreakable.
What is the current official thinking, and why didn't he stop such a marriage?
More people began to worry about the position of His Highness the Crown Prince. Although the Crown Prince Zhao Hong was not a biological son of the current official family, he was of serious Zhao and Song bloodline after all.
Are we going to hand over the power of the Song Dynasty to a person with a foreign surname?
It seems that in the eyes of many people, Guo Mo has always been just the adopted son of the official family, and not many people call him "Zhao Hao".
Regarding this trip to Yinxian County in Mingzhou, Prince Zhao Hong felt very complicated.
Previously, he wanted to rely on the big tree of Shi Miyuan to consolidate his status as prince.
In his opinion, he has "put aside the past grudges" and no longer cares about Shi Miyuan's past mistakes. Even after he obtains the great treasure in the future, he plans to give Shi Miyuan a happy ending.
I never thought that my biggest "competitor" in the past two years would actually marry Shi Miyuan's adopted daughter and become his concubine to Prince Yan.
This news simply made Prince Zhao Hong collapse. Didn't this mean that his last hope was gone?
What made him even more devastated was that the officials actually asked him to go to Yin County, Mingzhou in person to deliver a betrothal gift to his cheap brother?
Zhao Hong was unwilling to give up, but he was unwilling to do so. He had managed to maintain the image of a "loyal minister and filial son" for more than a year. Because this incident made the officials unhappy, wouldn't all his previous efforts be wasted?
In the end, a wise man next to him gave him an idea, and he decided to use his plan to build a plank road to seduce Chen Cang secretly.
Let Prince Zhao Hong take this opportunity to finally have another showdown with Shi Miyuan.
He even made Prince Zhao Hong make a solemn promise that if he takes that position in the future, he will directly worship Shi Miyuan as his "Shangfu"!
In their view, this was an extremely tempting promise, and the treatment Jiang Ziya and Zhuge Liang received back then was nothing more than this.
Prince Zhao Hong went there happily. In addition to the betrothal gifts prepared by the official family, Zhao Hong also prepared generous gifts in private as his entrance gift.
No one knows what the conversation between Prince Zhao Hong and Shi Miyuan was, but they saw that Zhao Hong was extremely drunk at Shi Miyuan's place, and was finally carried by the guards and put on the carriage.
This is considered a pleasant conversation, right?
Then, there was Shi Miyuan's long journey to Luoyang.
He lived for more than sixty years, but where did he suffer from such turbulence?
After eating and drinking every day, traveling at dawn and sleeping at night, we finally made it to Luoyang City before Li Mochou got married.
"So, what do you think the Prime Minister has in mind when he comes to Luoyang City this time?"
"You know, he has always supported His Highness the Crown Prince, and he had a conflict with Mochou as early as last year. Although it didn't go to the point of severing the relationship, it seems that he shouldn't be so sincere, right?"
Guo Mo still couldn't figure out Shi Miyuan's purpose.
To say that at the beginning, he was still a little wary of the Prime Minister, but to this point, Guo Mo no longer worried about the other party's power.
Even if he only owns the territory acquired from the Kingdom of Jin and Xixia, it is not difficult to stand on his own with the existing team of the Yan Palace and the more than 200,000 soldiers from the four powerful armies.
Compared with starting from scratch and letting him take over the Song Dynasty, which has been weak for a long time, it will be more difficult to develop.
"Your Highness, based on my long-term understanding of Shi Xiang, perhaps Shi Xiang is here to seek cooperation this time."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhao Rushu, who was sitting with his head bowed, took a sip of hot tea and said lightly.
"Oh, Zhao Changshi means that this prime minister will turn around and support our Highness? But, he doesn't know His Highness's true identity?"
Wei Liaoweng has spoken. Although Guo Mo currently has the so-called three economic and strategic pacification envoys under his command, if we really want to talk about qualifications, it still has to be Wei Liaoweng.
First, Henan Prefecture was managed in an orderly manner. As the administrative seat of Henan Prefecture, the restorative development of Luoyang City was even faster.
After the Guanzhong Plain was recovered, the first person Guo Mo could think of was Wei Liaoweng.
Although the renaissance of Chang'an City has just begun, everyone believes that its rise again will be just around the corner.
"Haha, Father Hua, have you really inherited the uprightness of your ancestors? I said that the Prime Minister is here to seek cooperation, but he may not be here to support His Highness. 'Praising and killing' is also a kind of killing."
Wei Liaoweng was a descendant of Wei Zheng, the famous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. He was upright by nature and fond of learning. He served successively as Guozizheng, Doctor of Martial Arts, and Examined the Bachelor's Academy. In order to prevent the border discussion, he disobeyed Han Zhouzhou, changed the name of Secretary Shengzheng, and became the governor of Jiading Prefecture.
.
When Shi Miyuan came to power, he refused to accept his orders. Later, he visited Hanzhou, Meizhou, Suining Prefecture, Luzhou Prefecture, Tongchuan Prefecture and other places. His career was considered to be bumpy.
Fortunately, he met Guo Mo, knew his integrity, and used his talents to help him achieve rapid success in the past few years.
Do you want to praise me? How can you praise me?
Now that they knew that Shi Miyuan was here and they would eventually meet, and tomorrow was Guo Mo's wedding day, everyone didn't stay long, chatted for a while, and then left one after another.
There was nothing to say all night, and it was dawn the next day.
Except for the bride, almost all the guests lived in Prince Yan's mansion, so Guo Mo didn't need to stand at the gate to greet the guests.
But when the auspicious time comes, Guo Mo needs to take the wedding team to Li Mochou's residence and bring her to Prince Yan's Mansion.
After all, the concubine was a concubine, so the specifications were more conservative, especially since Cheng Jue, the Minister of Etiquette, was still there.
However, neither Guo Mo nor Li Mochou care that much about these formal things. Giving each other peace of mind may be the ultimate meaning of this wedding.
Knowing that Shi Miyuan had arrived, Guo Mo did not let Feng Heng go over again, lest the two of them would get into trouble.
What's more, early in the morning, word came from Li Mochou that our prime minister was going to personally deliver the marriage.
Therefore, those who went to get married made temporary adjustments.
Cheng Ju stayed in Prince Yan's Mansion to be his witness, and Zhao Rushu followed Guo Mo to deal with Shi Miyuan over there.
From Prince Yan's Mansion to the residence where Li Mochou lived, there was only one block away. There were a hundred or so sergeants from Prince Yan's escort team in front and behind, specifically selecting those with good looks.
Guo Mo's four disciples, all dressed in bright clothes and angry horses, were guarding each other in pairs around a sedan chair carried by eight people. Several of them were so excited that they didn't sleep well all night.
Zhao Rushu acted as the introducer, while Meng Gong acted as the best man.
This was not Guo Mo's first time getting married, but he was filled with emotions at this moment. He felt like he was in a dream, everything seemed so unreal.
He saw the door of a mansion, clad in red and colorful, and he knew he had arrived.
Feng Heng didn't come, so Jin Yufeng came before dawn with Tingxiang and Wenfu, as well as four maids and four boys.
Prince Yan's palace wanted to add a concubine, so naturally it also added eight servants.
The door opened, and Jin Yufeng was waiting for him at the door. Since they were all his own, there was nothing to be embarrassed about. Guo Mo just sealed a red envelope and passed.
When they arrived at the second gate, it was Xiao Longnu who, accompanied by Ting Xiang and Wen Fu, had been guarding here early.
"Guo Mo, starting from today, am I going to call you 'brother-in-law'?"
She still has the same temperament. Even on such a happy day, it is rare to see little dragon girl showing any joy.
"Haha, Long'er can call me whatever you want, just don't make things difficult for me today."
I'm afraid no one knows Xiao Longnu's character as well as he does, so naturally they won't find fault with her.
"I occasionally got something in the Song Dynasty Palace, but no one has ever used it. I will give it to you today as an entrance gift--"
Guo Mo said, taking out a pair of objects as thin as cicada wings from his arms, white and transparent, with some golden silk threads delicately strung on them, and handed them to Xiao Longnu.
Xiao Longnu was slightly startled. She knew that she was staying here to embarrass the groom out of etiquette, but the little girl couldn't think of any good ideas.
When he saw something handed over by Guo Mo, it looked familiar, so he reached out and took it.
It turned out that what Guo Mo gave Xiao Longnu was a pair of gold gloves, woven with extremely fine and very fast platinum silk. Although they were soft and thin, they were not damaged by the sharp edge of a sword and could resist the attack of any weapon, including weapons and fire.
Can't hurt.
"There seems to be a pair of gloves like this in the ancient tomb. They were left behind by my ancestor's mother-in-law. They are similar to yours, but the color is a little different. I like it very much -"
Finally seeing this little girl, a faint smile appeared on her lips.
"Haha, as long as you like it, I'll teach you a set of skills for using bare hands with bare hands another day. If you don't want to carry a sword in the future, these gloves can also be used as weapons. Look at these two..."
After all the gifts were given, the door had to be opened to the groom, right? Xiao Longnu took two steps back to the side and moved out of the way.
Guo Mo naturally led everyone to continue walking inside, but Xiao Longnu did not follow to watch the excitement and left on her own.
She was going to pack her clothes, and starting from today, she was going to move back to Prince Yan's Mansion.
She still likes to live in Prince Yan's Mansion, not because she wants to enjoy the luxury, but because Prince Yan's Mansion is big enough and she can always find an empty place to practice martial arts with peace of mind.
The third door is the door of the bride's boudoir. An old man is standing in front of the door, waiting calmly.
Shi Miyuan——
Guo Mo, Zhao Rushu and Meng Gong recognized them no matter how far away they were.
"Haha, today His Royal Highness, Prince Yan, has accepted his concubine, Shi Youshi, in person, which really adds to the splendor -"
This is the purpose of Guo Mo bringing Zhao Rushu here.
In terms of qualifications, Zhao Rushu was not inferior to Shi Miyuan. In terms of status, Shi Miyuan was the envoy of the Privy Council, but Zhao Rushu was the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Zuo Changshi of the Yan Palace, and a royal family member of Zhao Song.
However, in the past many years, Zhao Rushu had actually been attached to Shi Miyuan's disciples, and he was somewhat uncomfortable when they first met.
By the way, these two haven’t seen each other for several years.
Since that year, Zhao Rushu "followed the order" to labor on the front lines of the two lakes, and completely set himself up.
Later, he became the long history of the Yan Palace. Especially after settling in Luoyang City, Zhao Rushu had no intention of returning to Lin'an and even sent people to bring all his family members in Lin'an to Luoyang City.
This seems to be against the rules of the court, but who can say anything?
"Oh, it turns out to be Mingke. I haven't seen you in these years, but you are getting more energetic -"
Shi Miyuan still felt a little uncomfortable when he saw that the person talking to him was none other than Zhao Rushu, one of his two great think tanks back then.
I recall that in those days, when Shi Miyuan was the envoy to the Privy Council, all the six ministers, except Old Cheng Ju’s Rites Department, would look up to him.
Dali Temple and Yushitai were directly under his control. Even if the official Zhao Kuo wanted to issue an edict, without Shi Miyuan's approval, it would be nothing more than a piece of paper.
Xue Ji and Zhao Rushu were the two most important think tanks that Shi Miyuan relied on. Whether it was military affairs or people's livelihood and diplomatic relations, these two people had never let him down.
But now...
These two people actually became the chief ministers of the Yan Palace, and one of the few who dared to compete with him in the "Daqing Hall", the old Cheng Jue, actually became the Sima of the Yan Palace.
This kind of configuration is no less than the configuration given to the prince of the East Palace by the monarchs of the Tang Dynasty, right?
Even at that time, how could any of the Six-Rank East Palace troops be compared to His Highness, Prince Yan, who had more than 200,000 soldiers under his command?
Seeing Guo Mo with a happy face, Shi Miyuan's originally confident heart suddenly felt a little doubtful.
Can I really control this person?
"So the Prime Minister is here. You should have informed me as soon as possible. After all, you are also Mochou's adoptive father, so you are naturally my elder, Guo Mo. Such a major marriage is a bit hasty."
Guo Mo pretended that he had just learned about Shi Miyuan's arrival, and even some of his son-in-laws were afraid of seeing his old father-in-law. Even Zhao Rushu, who was standing next to him, saw this and gave His Highness King Yan a thumbs up.
"Haha, what are you talking about, good son-in-law? A few days ago, my mental state was not good, and I even had a dispute with Mochou. For this reason, I specifically asked for leave from the official family and went back to my hometown to recuperate for a while."
"Just after my body recovered, I received a betrothal gift from the official family. I realized that this girl Mochou was actually chosen by His Highness King Yan. How lucky is this for her?"
"Although it is a long way to go to Luoyang City, and although my body may not be able to withstand the bumps along the way, I am still here. A beautiful son and a beautiful wife, such a perfect match, how can I miss it?"
"The betrothal gift given by the official family is generous enough, but unfortunately the journey is too far and the wedding is in a hurry, so I have no choice but to bring some money over here. I hope the mundane things will not taint the discernment of my virtuous son-in-law."
After Shi Miyuan finished speaking, he winked at Shi Yong next to him. Shi Yong turned around knowingly and went into the room, holding out a long brocade box.
A brocade box with carved dragons and painted phoenixes, it is considered appropriate to give it to King Yan. It has cross-shaped flowers and a red silk knot. Is this box full of silver notes?
"Haha, after so many years, Prime Minister Shi's pragmatic style has not changed. This gift is the most practical, so I accepted it for His Highness Prince Yan shamelessly."
Seeing that Shi Miyuan really asked someone to take out the gift box, Zhao Rushu was not polite, so he thought he would go over and take it. He couldn't let Guo Mo pick up the box by himself, right?
"Zhao Changshi, you can be sure--"
Seeing Zhao Rushu reaching out to take it, Shi Yong did not refuse, but kindly reminded him.
"Ouch——"
As soon as he bought it, Zhao Rushu knew that it would break. How could this box be so heavy?
Following closely behind Zhao Rushu was Guo Mo's great apprentice Zhang Shijie. While everyone else was immersed in the joy of his master's wedding, Zhang Shijie maintained a rare sobriety.
In particular, he listened to the discussion in Jixian Hall last night. Shi Miyuan was here?
Of course, Zhang Shijie has been famous for this powerful prime minister for a long time. Zhang Shijie has also heard a lot about this person's government and methods.
If he comes, will he bring trouble to the master?
Although, naturally, a tall man would hold up the sky when it fell, Zhang Shijie still felt that he should do something.
Therefore, when he saw this long-famous powerful prime minister, he paid special attention to his every move.
As soon as Zhao Rushu's hands trembled, Zhang Shijie saw something was wrong.
"Zhao Changshi, let the boy do this rough work. Just stay with my master."
He thrust forward and took the brocade box with one hand.
This agility and wisdom were seen in everyone's eyes, and they all nodded.
Shi Yong was slightly stunned. This brocade box was not made of wood, but was made of refined iron. The outside was painted with colored paint, making people mistake it for a wooden brocade box.
Moreover, Shi Miyuan also said that he sent some banknotes, so how much would the banknotes weigh?
Zhao Rushu didn't check for a while and almost suffered a loss.
"Wow, master, this box is so heavy. How many banknotes do you need to hold in it?"
Zhang Shijie also realized that the other party might have done this on purpose, so he simply pointed it out and defeated the other party.
"Haha, you call yourself master, so you must be King Yan's apprentice, right? Yes, he is a smart young man. The banknote is not too much, not too little. I put one million taels in it as Mochou's dowry, and I wish you both a hundred years.
It’s a good fit.”
"hiss--"
Everyone took a breath, one million taels? What a big deal!
"Haha, my dear husband is so disrespectful, but my son-in-law is so disrespectful -"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As the saying goes, don’t hit the gift giver without reaching out.
Even if Guo Mo had a big prejudice against Shi Miyuan, on this special day today, for the sake of the one million taels of silver notes, Guo Mo still called himself "son-in-law."
Anyway, when the old man met him for the first time, he always called him "good son-in-law".
The subsequent procedure is simple.
Guo Mo "racked his brains" and memorized two poems to encourage makeup. The bride's boudoir door opened, and Li Mochou, dressed in red and wearing a hijab, walked out with the support of two maids.
According to the rules, the bride's feet cannot touch the ground, so Guo Mo naturally leaned over and carried her to the sedan chair outside the house.
Along the way, they played, blew gongs to clear the way, and fired firecrackers. From time to time, the four disciples also scattered their wedding coins to the pedestrians who were watching on both sides to give blessings.
Six or eight copper coins were tied up with red string, but I don't know how many were scattered.
Anyway, from the moment they received the bride until they arrived at Prince Yan's Mansion, the four young men never stopped throwing their hands at them, and they even intentionally threw them at those who were old or simply dressed.
The next process was naturally the same. When Shi Miyuan arrived, old Cheng Jue was generous for a rare moment and did not find fault with him again.
Shi Miyuan took the position of the woman's elder, and as Guo Mo's master, Nan Xiren was naturally the man's elder.
Seeing that the time was almost up, old Cheng Jue suddenly transformed into an angel again and magically took out a volume of imperial edict.
Naturally, it was an official from far away in Lin'an who blessed the newlyweds and formally conferred the concubine of King Yan. Whether there was a royal conferment or not made a big difference.
As for the specific reward, the official Zhao Kuo only said that the wedding was in a hurry and the distance was far away, so it was not possible to receive it later, but it was a complete set of clothes for the concubine of King Yan, and Old Cheng Jui also brought it.
Feng Heng and Huang Rong also showed up, but they were in the back house. The front house followed the court etiquette, but the back house followed real family etiquette.
After serving tea to Huang Rong, the real Princess Yan, Li Mochou would call her "elder sister" from now on, and the meaning would change.
There was naturally a big banquet in the front yard. This special person, Shi Miyuan, was accompanied by Zhao Rushu and Lao Chengju, which made Guo Mo worry-free.
Originally, Shi Miyuan had made up his mind to have an open heart-to-heart talk with Guo Mo, his godson-in-law, tonight. Shi Miyuan encountered "hero drunkenness" for the first time, but he and old Cheng Ju both fell drunk.
Since everyone has been summoned to Luoyang City, they will naturally not leave until after the New Year, and they are not in a hurry to reminisce about the past. They are all old acquaintances and subordinates of King Yan, so there is no problem of picking fights or drinking.
Besides, when a bunch of "drunk heroes" are being slapped open, how can those people bother to trouble the groom's official?
"Master, someone outside has sent a congratulatory gift. Here is the gift list and a letter."
At this time, the eldest disciple Zhang Shijie walked in from outside, came to Guo Mo and whispered.
Guo Mo looked at the sky outside and saw that night had fallen, and he was a little surprised.
It was around this time yesterday that Zhang Shijie said that someone had sent a congratulatory gift and a letter.
The person who came to give the gift was Master Zhebie who had come all the way from Zhongdu, but the letter was written by Tuo Lei.
It didn't involve any major military affairs, it was just some words of blessing. Guo Mo could see that both Master Zhebie and the letter were unspeakably "unfamiliar" and dryly polite.
Zhebie stayed one night and left early the next morning.
He didn't even stay to take a sip of his apprentice's wedding wine, but Guo Mo forced two jars of "Hero Drunk" over, saying one jar was for Master Zhebie and the other for Tuo Lei.
Today, someone is like this again?
"Shijie, who is here?"
Guo Mo didn't read the gift list, he just opened the letter and took a look.
"An old friend from the past came to congratulate me——"
Guo Mo thinks this is a bit too mysterious, right?
Now that people have arrived at the gate, do they still need to send a letter in?
Could it be that the other party thinks that I should pick him up personally?
"Master, here is a young master, he should be about the same age as you. The disciple looks familiar, but I conclude that I have never seen this person before."
"He said that you have been old friends for many years, and he had to come to congratulate you on your wedding day."
About the same age as me? Old friend? Shijie still looks familiar?
Who could this be?
Only then did Guo Mo take a look at the gift list.
Good guy, there are really a lot of good things. If you calculate these things, they must be worth 100,000 to 80,000 yuan, right?
"Brother, I'm going out for a while. An old friend should be here. Please take care of me here."
Guo Mo whispered a few words to his eldest brother Guo Jing and asked his eldest brother to greet everyone for him, which was not rude and made him feel more at ease.
"Shijie, take me as a teacher to meet this person——"
Guo Mo followed Zhang Shijie out of the hall, and a cold wind blew, and the faint feeling of drunkenness disappeared instantly.
After passing through a courtyard, Guo Mo and the others came to the gate of Prince Yan's Mansion. The main gate of the Prince's Mansion was rarely opened, and visitors usually walked through the small door on the left.
At this time, the small door was ajar, because Zhang Shijie went in to report, and the concierge on duty was waiting there with the visitor.
When the small door opened, Guo Mo saw a young master at the door of King Yan, wearing a soap-colored warrior uniform, with his hands behind his back and playing with a gold-sprinkled folding fan in his right hand.
It's winter, so naturally this folding fan is not for fanning the wind. It should be a weapon for the visitor, but there is actually a sword hanging on the waist.
Although he was just a figure from behind, standing there, his whole body revealed a certain amount of nobility and a certain amount of coldness.
"I wonder if this brother is..."
Guo Mo said hello.
"Haha, brother Guo, I haven't seen you for many years, do you still remember our old friend?"
Hearing this, the visitor turned around and hugged Guo Mo with a fist in his arms.
Sure enough, it was him. It seemed that this person was becoming more cautious now and his martial arts skills were also much better. When he arrived in Luoyang City, he actually managed to hide it from the eyes and ears of "Tingfeng".
However, he was able to come alone, but he was a bit brave.
"Haha, who do I think it is? It turns out to be Brother Wanyan. Since you are a guest, please come in and invite me -"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Shijie, go and ask someone to set up a seat in the Little Flower Hall. Then go and call Meng Dutong over. You can come with us."
Looking at Guo Mo's firm eyes, he didn't seem to be surprised at all by his sudden arrival.
Could it be that he already knew I was coming?
Is there an internal problem in Kangcheng, or did I expose Xingzang when I entered Luoyang City?
Guo Mo's random arrangement, in the eyes of the visitors, made him think a lot out of thin air.
That's right, the person who came was Wanyan Kang, who was entrenched in Kangcheng, Xixia, and was now the King of Zhao.
It's not that Guo Mo wasn't surprised by Wan Yankang's arrival, but that he had guessed something beforehand.
The most important thing is that Guo Mo now, whether it is his personal strength or the strength of his subordinates, there are really not many things or people in this world that can shock him.
Guo Mo let Wan Yankang into Prince Yan's Mansion. Wan Yankang walked in while looking at the Prince Yan's Mansion.
So courageous——
Wanyankang grew up in Prince Zhao's Mansion in Zhongdu since he was a child. As one of the most respected princes in the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan Honglie lived in a palace that was not too bad.
However, compared with the Prince Yan's Mansion in front of me, it is completely different.
In fact, even the Zhongdu Palace that Wan Yankang visited may not be comparable to this Prince Yan's Mansion.
As the former young prince of the Kingdom of Jin, he naturally knew the origin of Prince Yan's Mansion, but he lived in Zhongdu City all year round and later went to Xixia.
This is my first time to visit Luoyang City, let alone Prince Yan's Mansion.
The Little Flower Hall is also in the front yard of Prince Yan's Mansion. When there are few people on weekdays, Guo Mo or other ministers who work in Prince Yan's Mansion will occasionally sit here.
The two of them walked over slowly, but Zhang Shijie had already trotted over to arrange the arrangements.
"Brother Wanyan, if you come here at this time, you must not have eaten yet? You are here today. We have a new kind of wine called 'Hero Drunk'. It will be sold in Xixia in the coming year. Today, Brother Wanyan will take the lead.
Drink for pleasure."
Whether it is sending wine to Zhe Farewell and Tuo Lei, or now treating Wan Yankang with "Hero Drunk", Guo Mo has spared no effort in publicity and promotion.
Of course, there is still some affection inside.
If the market in Mongolia and Xixia is to be opened, it must come from above. Naturally, this "heroic drunkenness" will not be bought by ordinary people.
In a short time, a sumptuous banquet was served, and Meng Gong and Zhang Shijie also came together.
"Your Highness——"
"master--"
Although several of Guo Mo's apprentices have already joined the military and have a superior-subordinate relationship with him, Guo Mo still requires them to call him "Master" instead of "His Royal Highness King Yan".
"Come, come, let me introduce you. Brother Wanyan, this is Meng Gong, the first general under Guo, the commander of the Dunwu Army. He happens to be stationed in Yinzhou now. This guy is
Guo accepted a young apprentice who was not good at academics, his name was Zhang Shijie."
"You two must listen carefully. Come to Luoyang City today to congratulate me. This is Guo's old friend for many years. He is also famous and powerful in Xixia. King Zhao Wanyankang——"
After Guo Mo finished the introduction, he seemed to be able to see wisps of invisible murderous aura floating between the eyes of Wan Yankang and Meng Gong.
