Chapter 1219: The Road to the Most Beautiful Man in the World (50)
Rather than end up with the whole family being destroyed in the future, it is better to give the military power to Gu Mo and save the Huan family.
However, he was suspicious by nature and was afraid that Gu Mo would still attack the Huan family, so he accepted Xie Zhao as his adopted son.
In this way, he and Xie Zhao had a nominal father-son relationship. If Xie Zhao could not save the Huan family under Gu Mo's hands, he would eventually be criticized by the world.
Huan Lin really worked hard for her family.
However, his dozens of sons didn't appreciate it. Even before his body was cold, dozens of his sons started making trouble.
But the military power was in the hands of Xie Zhao, and they had no real power. No matter how much trouble they made, it was just a small fight, without causing much trouble.
But when Huan Lin died, she asked to share the imperial temple.
There was a lot of opposition from the courtiers.
Huan Lin was already dead, but they didn't take Huan seriously and kept calling her an old thief.
Gu Mo, however, opposed all opinions and insisted that the young emperor fulfill Huan Lin's wish during his lifetime, and said:
"There are only mediocre people in the world who have no blame or reputation. If they are praised all over the world, they may not be unwilling to fulfill their hometown wishes; if they are slandered all over the world, they may not be great people." [From Liang Qichao's "The Biography of Li Hongzhang"]
Huan Lin has always had attempts to rebel, but no one can deny his contribution to the country and nation.
As soon as Gu Mo supported her, the courtier thought of the three armies she held in her hand, and immediately stopped beeping, saying that one by one the Taifu said the right thing to the Taifu.
The young emperor had no choice but to issue an edict with a sullen face, granting Huan Lin the honor of the Ancestral Temple.
Only now did he understand that Gu Mo clearly used the same development method as Gujiabao to Jing Chao, quietly eating away at Jing Chao bit by bit.
Now the entire Jing Dynasty is in the hands of Gu Mo. Her power is even greater than when Huan Lin was alive. It is not an exaggeration to call her the number one figure in the Southern Dynasty.
His life was also transferred from Huan Lin's hands to Gu Mo's.
The little emperor felt that it was only a matter of time before Gu Mo rebelled.
He simply broke the jar and asked Gu Mo for military power.
"Your Majesty, no one can give me the power in my hands now."
Gu Mo smiled at him, "Because I don't trust anyone except myself."
The little emperor was furious, "Then why should I be an emperor?"
Gu Mo said, "Then your Majesty won't do it. I see that King Zhongshan is very obedient. If Your Majesty doesn't want to do it, I will welcome King Zhongshan to build Kangcheng."
The little emperor fell silent for a moment. Gu Mo wanted to imitate Huan Lin and support a puppet again!
Is it still far from my own death?
"Taifu, I'm joking with you. The military power is in the hands of the Taifu. There is nothing more reassuring for me than this."
After that, the little emperor became extremely well-behaved and obedient. He regarded himself as Gou Jian, a man who suffered hardships and was extremely filial to Gu Mo.
He even took the initiative to make Gu Mo the regent and called Gu Mo my father, as if I just want to survive and will not fight for power with you.
Gu Mo didn't bother to pay attention to his little tricks and focused on political affairs.
When she reformed the government in the past, although Huan Lin kept silent most of the time, he was from an aristocratic family after all, and if anything really affected the interests of the aristocratic family or the Huan family, he would come out to oppose it.
Now that Huan Lin is gone, Gu Mo has fewer worries and his methods are much stronger than before.
As for the aristocratic families that control most of the wealth and power in society, almost every reform Gu Mo makes now targets aristocratic families.
Seeing more and more children from poor families in the court, watching these children from poor families becoming more and more popular.
The aristocratic family members were panic-stricken and couldn't help but question Gu Mo.
"Prince Regent, we have worked together for so many years and we haven't cared about you much, right? Do you want to drive out our family?"
"Do you all think that the decline of the aristocratic family is all caused by this king alone?"
The dignitaries of the aristocratic family snorted coldly, thinking to themselves, is there any need to say this?
When Gu Mo didn't come, this world belonged to the aristocratic family.
Gu Mo came, and less than twenty years after entering the court, the court became a world of poor families.
Isn't this horse-trampling the result of Gu Mo's incident?
Gu Mo also laughed and said to the courtier:
"Everyone thinks that the decline of the aristocratic family is caused by this king. Then I would like to ask, who is responsible for Yiguan's migration to the south, the fall of the north, and the endless war in the south?"
"Does the Regent think it's us?"
Gu Mo, "It's not you, it's the kings who are greedy, it's the emperor who is useless, it's the people who are dissatisfied, it has nothing to do with your family."
Aristocratic families, "..."
Gu Mo, "Look, you all refuse to admit that the chaos in the world has something to do with you. How can you throw the blame for the decline of the family on me? You still stab me in the back after working together for so many years. It's not kind."
Aristocratic families, "..."
Gu Mo continued: "Since I entered the dynasty, everything I have said and done has been aimed at creating a prosperous and powerful court. It is intended to change the spiritual outlook of the aristocratic families and let the world know that the reason why the aristocratic family is a aristocratic family
, not to be proud of things
Use your wealth to insult others, but be rich and polite, treat others with humility, especially for the disadvantaged people, with gratitude and sympathy. I have good intentions. If you still fall because of this, it is definitely not my problem.
What do you think?"
Aristocratic families, "..."
You have great power and you can do whatever you say. We can't afford it...
And he was also afraid that Gu Mo would vomit blood if the beeping continued.
Gu Mo used to vomit blood and he did it very sincerely. Although the blood may not necessarily be human blood, it is at least blood.
Now that I was vomiting, I just grabbed the wolfberry and threw it out. After the process of vomiting blood, I felt that I had really vomited. It was like using the five cents special effect to the extreme.
When Gu Mo saw that the aristocratic families were silent, he didn't bother to care about them.
The aristocratic families of today are no longer the aristocratic families of the past. Except for a few aristocratic families with four generations and three fathers, which are indeed full of talented people, the rest can basically only rely on the protection of their ancestors to get by.
And those families with four generations and three sons are the most discerning.
Their family has talents and is good at cultivating talents. They are not afraid that there will be no market for their children, so they will not be so stupid as to fight to the death with Gu Mo.
None of them spoke up, and those ordinary families could only hold back and go back to cultivate their children.
The news of Huan Lin's death naturally spread to the north, making the major political powers in the north feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Previously, the North believed that Gu Mo and Huan Lin were two tigers fighting each other, restraining each other. As long as they were both alive, they would not have much impact on the North.
But it's different now. The southern forces have been almost unified by Gu Mo, and those difficult families have become good babies, very obedient.
If the South had been determined to make the Northern Expedition, it might have been successful.
In this way, Gu Mo suddenly became a thorn in the side of the northern regime.
In order to plunge the south into chaos again, the north sent assassins south to assassinate Gu Mo.
The assassins came one after another, but Gu Mo was not harmed at all.
