Before he could refuse or reply, Guo Mo walked towards the palace first.

"Your Highness, wait for the old minister, the salary for you as a Sima has not yet come down, and the old minister is worrying about having no place to eat..."

Cheng Yi's loud voice could be heard far away, and it happened to be heard by the old eunuch who came from the harem.

Looking up, he saw Guo Mo walking ahead, and Cheng Yi trotting behind with his robes lifted.

"Our seventh master is really good, even the dignified minister of the Ministry of Rites was led astray by him."

"His Royal Highness, the official family summoned you in Funing Hall, you can go with me—"

The old eunuch came to Guo Mo and saluted him.

"Very good, I have something to go to see the official family, so I will bother the imperial dining room and prepare meals for two more people and send them to Funing Palace."

As soon as Guo Mo greeted Cheng Yi, the duo from Yan Wangfu went straight to Funing Palace, arguing along the way whether they should have some wine and dinner later.

"Who are these people?" The old eunuch shook his head.

Forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as them. Fortunately, what Guo Mo said is similar to what the official said, except that there is one more person's food.

"Chen Guomo, Cheng Yi, see the officials—"

When outsiders are around, Guo Mo still needs to pay attention to etiquette.

"Oh, it came so fast? Cheng Shangshu is also here, what's the matter?"

Zhao Kuo just asked the old eunuch to pass on Guo Mo, but he didn't expect to arrive so soon, and he also came with Cheng Yi.

"This... The official, Minister of Rites and Deputy Envoy of the Privy Council, Cheng Yi, is still thinking behind closed doors. Now standing in front of you is Cheng Yi, the Sima of Yanwangfu."

"It's just been a day since I took office, and His Royal Highness King Yan hasn't paid the salary yet, so..."

Don't look at Cheng Yi's sly words in front of the old eunuch, but when he really faced the officials, he still didn't have the nerve to say the last few words.

Although everyone has known each other for decades, it's not like they haven't eaten in the palace, but it's the first time that they have come to the palace by themselves like today.

"Haha, Daddy, my son brought my Sima here to eat with you—"

Guo Mo said it outrightly, and the old Cheng was beside him "hehe" silly.

"Xiao Qi, have you already?"

Zhao Kuo heard that Guo Mo actually called himself "Daddy" in front of Cheng Jue. Although Guo Mo was his adopted son in name, it seemed a bit inappropriate to call him this way.

"Daddy, my son has already told Cheng Shangshu the truth, otherwise he can kidnap a Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and go to my place to be the Sima of the palace?"

Seeing that everyone had said it all, Cheng Yi was also uncharacteristically, bowing to the official Zhao Kuo solemnly.

"Officials, veterans congratulate the official family, and congratulate the country and society of the Great Song Dynasty. The veteran will definitely assist His Highness Zuo with all his heart, and he will do his best until he dies!"

After Cheng Yu said these words, when he raised his head again, there were tears in his eyes.

Guo Mo didn't quite understand Cheng Ju's thoughts, but Zhao Kuo could really feel Cheng Ju's mood as a monarch of his age who had traveled all the way for decades.

Zhao Kuo also excitedly turned around from behind Yu Shuyan, came to Cheng Yu, grabbed the old Cheng Yu's hand with one hand, and pulled Guo Mo over with the other.

"Thank you Cheng Qing! That's right, Mo'er is my own son, he is my son, my little seven..."

How could Zhao Kuo still be an official at this time?

It was clearly an ordinary old man, showing off his son to his friends for many years.

This feeling is very strange. Zhao Kuo and his son have known each other for several years. Because the matter is so important, they have not been fully disclosed.

Now, to Zhao Kuo, being able to express his true feelings unreservedly in front of one of his important ministers is almost a rare "luxury".

Not much effort, the old eunuch turned around again, commanding a few young eunuchs carrying food boxes to put out plates of exquisite dishes.

The round dining table placed inside Funing Hall finally came in handy.

"Mo'er, this 'Peach Blossom Brew' is running out, you can ask 'Peach Blossom Island' to send some later."

In the past few years, Zhao Kuo's health has been like a year, and he has begun to drink alcohol in moderation, but he has only drank "Peach Blossom Noodles", a special medicinal wine made by "Peach Blossom Island".

Zhao Kuo gradually got used to the taste of removing greasy food, relaxing tendons and activating blood circulation, nourishing qi and nourishing body.

"Mo'er, the scene in the early morning court today is a stroke of genius! In the past half a year, this Yushitai has been very active. You need to put in some effort to clean it up."

Indeed, due to the system of the ancestors, this group of censors really made a fuss, and you can't kill them or punish them, which made Zhao Kuo, who has regained his fighting spirit, depressed several times.

"Father, I got the doctor Yushi, but my son's eyes are really smeared with the situation of Yushitai, and there is no talent in this field, so it's difficult—"

Guo Mo is really not lying. In this day and age, it is too difficult to find a civil servant who can stand alone.

You must know that the historians of later generations, when evaluating this period of Song Dynasty history, divided it into two sections.

The conclusion drawn is: the Northern Song Dynasty lacked generals, and the Southern Song Dynasty lacked prime ministers.

The civil servants who really took action in the Southern Song Dynasty were not completely civil servants. They were Zhang Shijie, Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu who were called "Three Heroes of the Late Song Dynasty" by later generations.

To tell you the truth, I have been using reading books to catch up, change sources, and read aloud with many timbres. Both Android and Apple can be used. 】

However, Zhang Shijie is his big apprentice now, and he is only in his teens, so it's too late to overwhelm him.

The other two are even worse. According to the original historical time calculation, Wen Tianxiang and Lu Xiufu were born in the same year, and they would not be born until another 13 years.

With Guo Mo's "complaint", the three of them couldn't drink the wine happily.

"Mo'er, what do you mean, Yushitai, you also want to be like the army, find a suitable person to take care of it for you, and you just control the general direction?"

Zhao Kuo finally understood, why Guo Mo handed over the gold medal of "Like me in person" so happily in the "Daqing Palace".

On the one hand, the relationship between his father and son is strong, on the other hand, even if Shi Miyuan wants to mobilize the four armies under Guo Mo's command, will it really work?

It may not be necessary to directly disobey orders, but at the very least, violations of yin and yang will still occur.

On this point, Zhao Kuo was a little envious of his son, but unfortunately, he really didn't have that condition.

Cheng Yi, who was drinking, suddenly put down the glass.

"Officials, Your Highness, if you want to say that you can take care of Yushitai in an all-round way, the veteran really has such a person in his heart. Moreover, from the perspective of the veteran, it is at this moment that this person must come out of the mountain."

"However, this person's qualifications are older than the old minister, and he has nothing to do with His Highness. He was pushed out back then. I'm afraid the official must personally invite him."

This old Cheng Yi is actually playing tricks.

"Cheng Qing, what are you talking about?"

Zhao Kuo really couldn't remember for a moment, who had such great energy, who could be admired by old Cheng Yi.

Yushitai is also an important yamen of the imperial court, and after so many years of management by Shi Miyuan, ordinary people may not be able to play it.

"Official, have you forgotten Uncle Wei Jing and Wei Qing?"

Wei Jing, styled as Uncle Qing, nicknamed Houle Jushi and Xiyuan Jushi, was born in Huating, Jiaxing, and moved to Kunshan, Pingjiang.

At the beginning of Ningzong's first jubilee, Lei moved to Yushi Zhongcheng.

In three years, he participated in the murder of Han Wawei, signed a letter to the Privy Council and participated in political affairs, and later became the prime minister Shi Miyuanji, who was dismissed from Tanzhou.

"Uncle Wei Qing? I remember that he seems to be ten years older than me. Can he still come out to do things now?"

Wei Jing was also an elder in the court back then, and he had acted as an agent in the Ministry of Officials. He was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials before Xue Ji, and he was also the Prime Minister of Yushi before Shi Miyuan.

But he was pushed out of the imperial court by Shi Miyuan's family. He has been working as a magistrate in a locality for these years, and it seems that he has changed several places. Zhao Kuo can't remember his last place.

"The officials don't know that this old man Wei resigned last year. Now he lives in his eldest son's house next to the West Lake. He reads books and writes poems every day. He recently published a book called 'Hou Le Ji'. '."

"The old minister visited him half a year ago. Old Wei is in excellent health. He has been to Yushitai for three to five years, and there is no problem at all."

When it comes to Wei Jing, Cheng Yi also respects him very much. He used to support him, and they were all people who were at odds with Shi Miyuan.

It's just that Wei Jing is too upright and not as sophisticated as Cheng Yi, so he was squeezed out and succeeded.

"Okay, then tomorrow I will personally go to the Wei Mansion, and ask Uncle Wei Qing to come out of the mountain to help Mo'er!"

Zhao Kuo also knew that this Wei Jing must have resentment in his heart. After all, when he was squeezed out, it was when he "inaction" that Shi Miyuan covered the sky.

Now, in order to pave the way for his son, even if he gave up this old face, he would not hesitate.

Zhao Kuo also knew that now that Weijing and the others were determined to win, they couldn't simply make a decree to go there.

He is 65 years old, and he is a man of character. He is really disrespectful. Even though he is an official, he has nothing to do with the old man.

The second day after the transfer is a crucial day.

Zhao Kuo and Guo Mo, the father and son, went out to win two talents respectively.

One of them is already retired, the former Minister of Officials, Wei Jing; the other, of course, was sent to the door by himself, and the current Minister of Officials, Xue Ji.

No one knows the details of how the father and son persuaded each other.

However, the two of them coincidentally used the simplest and most brutal trick—to reveal Guo Mo's true identity.

Guo Mo is even more exaggerated, directly comparing Xue Ji to people like Jia Xu and Jia Wenhe in the Three Kingdoms period.

He talked a lot about the five realms of a counselor - seeking himself, seeking others, seeking soldiers, seeking the country, and seeking the world, which made old Xue Ji suddenly feel a confidant.

He also diagnosed and treated old Xue Ji's lung disease. It is very difficult to eradicate the old Xue Ji's disease, but it is easy for Guo Mo to suppress the attack and relieve the uncomfortable force.

When she reveals her true identity to Xue Ji again, it will be of no avail.

A person like Xue Ji may not be loyal to anyone, what he pursues is a stage to show his talent.

Zhao Kuo couldn't give it to him, so he turned to Shi Miyuan.

Now, Zhao Kuo wants to work hard, and his own son is a man of great talent and strategy.

In the comparison of the two, isn't it obvious how to choose?

"Your Highness, if there is such a day, the old minister hopes that His Highness can make Shi Xiang die."

After hesitating for a while, Xue Ji still said what was in his heart.

"Hahaha——Xue Shangshu's words are serious, and Guo Mo is not a bloodthirsty person. No matter how old Shi is, he has given great help to the officials, and he will die well in public and private."

"However, Prime Minister Shi has been in charge of the court for many years, with many party members and mixed good and bad, which has caused a lot of harm to the Song Dynasty and the people. I hope that Xue Shangshu can help me with all his strength to make up for the mistakes made over the years."

These words are hitting Xue Ji.

Two days later, official Zhao Kuo issued two appointments.

"Promote Weijing as Yushi Zhongcheng, acting as Yushitai's daily affairs."

"Zhao Rushu, the former Chief History Officer of King Yan's Mansion, was changed to Zuo Chang Shi of King Yan's Mansion, and Xue Ji, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, concurrently served as Right Chief History of King Yan's Mansion."

These are two more blockbusters, causing the government and the public in Lin'an to shake up again.

"Why? Why did the emperor treat me like this? What kind of guy is he, Guo Mo? I am the Crown Prince of Song Dynasty——"

The prince, Zhao Hong, smashed all the things that could be smashed in the dormitory to pieces, and he kicked the two little eunuchs who were running slowly.

"Why? Can any of you tell me why?"

"Haha, the old man is old and wants to give way to young people? But the new censor, Zhongcheng Weijing, is five years older than the old man—"

"Xue Ji? How about you, Xue Ji, have you climbed a high branch? You Changshi of Yan Palace, haha—"

Not only Prince Zhao Mian, but also Privy Council envoy Shi Miyuan couldn't figure it out.

It's just that he has been a prime minister for many years, and he has developed a demeanor that has been in control of the overall situation for a long time, and he is not as hysterical as the prince Zhao Mian.

What kind of ability Xue Ji has, Shi Miyuan knows very well, and what kind of ambition Xue Ji has, he is even more clear about it.

Because of this, he was a little puzzled by Xue Ji's actions.

It's a pity that no one will give him any answers, so he simply gave the official a note, and while staying in the mansion to "recover his illness", he was thinking about the next step.

Of course, Shi Miyuan is not just something that doesn't go his way, there is something that makes him feel mixed, or it is a person.

That was the return of my favorite adopted daughter.

After running away from home for almost three years, Li Mochou felt inexplicably uncomfortable when she returned to the Shifu.

The place is still the same place as before, but there are not many familiar people left.

Of course Shi Miyuan was happy about Li Mochou's return, the reason why he said mixed joy and sorrow was because of Li Mochou's attire of female crown.

What made him even more uncertain was a piece of news that came back from the north a few days ago.

Genghis Khan Temujin, the "Heroes of the World Conference" held in Zhongdu City caused a lot of noise all over the world, and it is impossible for the territory of the Song Dynasty not to know about it.

Especially the last highlight in the arena, the names of "Three Beauties of the Martial Arts" Qiao Huang Rong, Leng Mochou, and Sa Murong also spread throughout the world.

"So, what is the relationship between this girl Mochou and this Guo Mo now?"

More than two years ago, Shi Miyuan could tell that his righteous daughter Li Mochou had developed feelings for Guo Mo, who was only in command of the "Dunwu Army" at that time.
