Although Guo Jing felt that something was wrong in his heart, he still couldn't resist Guo Mo. He also knew what his second brother wanted, and wanted to spend a lively New Year with his mother, so he simply didn't refuse.
"Haha, Your Majesty, the old minister can come to your place for dinner again—"
When Guo Mo's family was eating in the main hall, a long-lost voice rang in Guo Mo's ear, and then two old men walked in one after the other from outside.
The person walking in front, with gray beard and hair, but strong body and red face, is the Minister of Rites, Cheng Yi, who has been away for three years.
Among the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty, I am afraid that only this old Cheng Yi would be so unscrupulous in front of Guo Mo.
Guo Mo also had some impressions of the person who followed behind, but he had only met him at the court meeting. If it wasn't for the construction of a new palace, this person really wouldn't have attracted Guo Mo's attention.
Zhao Jianda, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is also over 50 years old, with dark skin and a face full of bitterness and hatred, but Guo Mo knows that this person is considered to be a master of mathematics today.
"Haha, Mr. Cheng, Zhao Shangshu, I mentioned you just now, thinking that this year we must get together more and have a lively New Year, but I didn't expect you to come here on the New Year's Eve."
"Nantian, go and ask the kitchen to bring another banquet. It doesn't take too much, just choose eight exquisite dishes. Brother, shall we have a few drinks with the two Shangshu?"
Originally considered a family banquet, Guo Mo naturally sat at the table with his mother Li Ping, Guo Jing, Li Mochou, Hua Zheng, Zhang Ting, Yang Guo, Guo Xiang and other family members.
There was another table next to it, but it was Wu Nantian and Haji's two apprentices, accompanied by the third master "Mawangshen" Han Baoju, the commander of "Jinyi" Lu Pingsheng, and several captains of the "Jingnan Army".
When Cheng Yu and Zhao Jianda came, Guo Mo naturally wanted to come to accompany him, so he pulled his elder brother Guo Jing over, and the four of them opened another table on the other side of the hall.
"Mr. Cheng, you and Zhao Shangshu have worked so hard for the past three years. Let me offer you a toast—"
As soon as the food and drink were served, Guo Mo raised a glass first and toasted Cheng Yi and Zhao Jianda.
"Haha, Your Majesty, what's so hard about it? When you conquered Luoyang, Lao Cheng went to Luoyang to be the Sima of the Yan Palace for you."
"After you conquered Bianliang, Lao Cheng went to Bianliang to repair the Bianliang Palace for you. Now that the capital city has returned to the arms of our Han people, it is naturally duty-bound for Lao Cheng to come here to supervise the construction of the new palace for you."
"However, Lao Cheng is also getting old. If you build a place farther north in the future, Lao Cheng may not be able to go. This body is staying in the capital city, and it is about to be frozen to pieces, hahaha——"
In front of Zhao Jianda, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Cheng Yi showed off his past "brilliant history" like a few treasures.
Even Zhao Jianda, who was honest and honest, was amused by him. He had heard this set of rhetoric more than once from old Cheng Huan.
It's a pity that he is an old man, and what he said is the truth, so it's not easy for Zhao Jianda to argue with him.
"Haha, Mr. Cheng, please don't worry about this matter. Even if you conquer territories further west or north, you will not be able to find a more suitable capital than Zhongdu."
"How can I keep letting you supervise the construction of the imperial palace? In that case, wouldn't I become a foolish emperor like Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang? And you are old, but you want to steal Zhao Shangshu's limelight?"
In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, there were many important ministers whom Guo Mo respected, and there were not a few people who made Guo Mo his arm. However, the one who got along with the most harmonious atmosphere in private was the Minister of Rites in front of him.
A joke like Guo Mo made the restrained Zhao Jianda feel a lot easier.
"Your Majesty, don't tell me, I really benefited a lot from building the palace with Cheng Shangshu's partner. I have also worked in the Ministry of Industry for many years, and I have some experience in the construction process."
"This time when I partnered with Cheng Shangshu, I discovered that in the past I was simply building houses, but under Cheng Shangshu's suggestion, I turned each house into a work of art."
"Hahaha--"
Seeing Zhao Jianda's serious look, Guo Mo couldn't help laughing.
Originally, he thought that the minister of the Ministry of Industry had always been a serious person except for his own professional affairs, but he didn't expect that this person who always praised him was so fresh and refined.
"Your Majesty, don't laugh. Old Cheng thinks what Zhao Shangshu said is right. Should you give the humble minister an extra salary? Don't dare to ask for anything else, even if you give a pot of 'hero drunk' a month, hey-hey……"
A small New Year's Eve dinner, with the participation of Cheng Yi and Zhao Jianda, created a harmonious atmosphere between the monarch and his subjects.
During the banquet, Guo Mo directly made a decision to let the old Cheng Yi be in charge of gathering the manpower. On the last day of the old calendar, he held a banquet in the imperial palace and celebrated the New Year with all the civil and military officials in Zhongdu City and nearby.
……
When Guo Mo went secretly to Zhongdu City, an unexpected guest came to the imperial palace far away in Bianliang City.
On a snowy night, a person broke into the palace at night, avoided all the guards, but broke into the Funing Palace of the Supreme Emperor Zhao Kuo.
"You are the retired old emperor, right?"
A gloomy voice of questioning came, and a figure had already arrived in front of Zhao Kuo's imperial book.
Before Zhao Kuo could react, the old eunuch standing next to him jumped to the front, blocking the way between the visitor and Zhao Kuo, and at the same time shouted in his unique voice.
"There are assassins, come and escort—"
I saw someone who came here, who can be five or sixty years old?
He is dressed in blue, with soap hanging all over his body, a pair of horoscope eyebrows, slightly whitish, holding a snake-shaped walking stick that is not gold, silver, copper, or iron, his eyes are piercing, shooting two There was a cold light, eerie and terrifying.
Don't look at the old eunuch standing in front of Zhao Kuo, but his heart felt like a pot had exploded.
"Who is this person? How can there be so many top masters in the world?"
The old eunuch is also a top-notch player. Since he was defeated in front of "Dongxie" Huang Yaoshi and Guo Mo many years ago, not only has he practiced more diligently, but he has also worked hard to arrange the guards around Zhao Kuo.
Except for the old eunuch, there are still 24 people inside and outside the Funing Palace waiting in secret, among them are eight first-rate experts and sixteen second-rate experts.
Among the eight first-class masters, two of them are the direct disciples of the old eunuch, they learned the same set of kung fu, because it is a minor practice, and their kung fu is no less than that of the old eunuch.
The remaining six first-class masters were drawn from the rivers and lakes by the old eunuch who spared no expense over the years, and some of them were even gangsters, who were secretly replaced by him from the prison.
The old eunuch employing people, as long as you have real skills, as long as you can swear allegiance to the Emperor of Song Dynasty from now on, he never considers the origin and origin of that person.
Of course, the old eunuch also has his own way to control these masters, which are nothing more than some shady ways that can't be seen on the stage.
But nearly half of the sixteen second-rate players were trained by him himself.
Since meeting Guo Mo, the old eunuch's vision has also become higher. Kungfu can be taught, their respective resources can be freely distributed, and martial arts secrets can also be shared.
However, among the many people he trained, if you have not reached the first-class level, then I am sorry, and you are not qualified to call the old eunuch "Master".
Therefore, so far, there are only two people who can call the old eunuch "Master".
The old eunuch's ancestral surname was Cao, and these two people were also given the surname Cao by him, and they were called Cao Shan and Cao Hai respectively.
In other words, in recent years, ever since Guo Mo became the crown prince of the Great Song Dynasty, he no longer used a special way to enter and leave the palace, but walked in openly. Instead, no one came to check the depth of defense around Zhao Kuo.
"who are you?--"
With "Dongxie" Huang Yaoshi and Guo Mo as references, the old eunuch also knew that the person in front of him was at least a master above the extreme level.
Although he knew he was invincible, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and stand in front of Zhao Kuo.
"Hmph, a useless man and woman, are you worthy of talking to this old man? Tell me, where is that kid Guo Mo?"
It turns out that this person came to look for His Majesty?
The old eunuch heaved a sigh of relief, he naturally knew of Guo Mo's whereabouts, anyone could hide Guo Mo's going north, but he would not hide it from his father Zhao Kuo.
If Zhao Kuo knew about it, it would naturally mean that the old eunuch knew about it.
"Why are you looking for my emperor's son? I see that you are also a figure at the level of a master in the Jianghu. At this point in the night, are you trying to do something wrong?"
Zhao Kuo heard that this person was looking for his son, and it seemed that he was still his son's enemy.
At this time, the 24 masters secretly guarding outside had all appeared in Funing Palace, so Zhao Kuo dared to ask.
"Hmph, what kind of person this old man is, there is no need for others to judge you. In the eyes of others, you, Zhao Kuo, are the supreme emperor. In the eyes of this old man, you are no different from ordinary traffickers and pawns."
The visitor's demeanor was very arrogant, but his words were steady. Maybe in his heart, he really didn't like the Supreme Emperor Zhao Kuo in front of him.
"Old man, is the imperial palace a place where you can run wild, go to hell—"
Among the guards who came in from the outside, there was a second-rate guard who was also a Jiangyang thief, but he was the most despised prostitute.
The old eunuch just saw that his martial arts was not bad, so he accepted him as one of the 24 guards, but he was often looked down upon by the other 23 people and pushed him out from time to time.
Seeing such a rare opportunity to perform in front of him, this guard who was born as a prostitute naturally didn't want to let it go easily.
If the old man who broke into the palace at night is dealt with, wouldn't he be able to show his face in front of the Supreme Emperor?
He would be the first to jump out of this kind of opportunity to show off his holiness in front of others and seize his dignity.
Without saying hello to anyone, he scolded the visitor, then directly waved the ghost knife in his hand, and slapped the visitor from behind.
"Dang-woo-"
The visitor didn't look back at all, and just waved the snake-shaped crutch back in his hand, and the guard had a lot of fun.
The snake-shaped crutch happened to hit the ghost knife. First, the knife flew out, and then the force transmitted by the knife sent the guard flying.
With a sound of "pa--", she fell outside the door of Funing Palace and lay motionless on the ground.
An enthusiastic guard rushed over to take a look, and the guard was so shocked that his seven orifices were bleeding, and he couldn't die anymore.
As the saying goes, money beats slaves, art beats pedestrians.
Just like that, all the people in Funing Palace were suppressed.
"Cao Hai, go to the harem—"
Seeing this, the old eunuch shouted loudly to a first-class expert guarding the gate of Funing Palace.
That is one of his two disciples, in his early 30s, and he thinks he is the most spiritual and capable to succeed him.
It's a pity, so far, Guo Mo still doesn't like to use eunuchs. He used to have "Hu Benjun" guards by his side, but now he directly let the "Jin Yi" people order him around.
Hearing this, Cao Hai flew away, fearing that someone would stop him.
It's a pity that both the old eunuch and Cao Hai thought too much, and the visitor wished that they would go to the harem to report the news. Anyway, he came to look for Guo Mo, and came to Lao Zhao Kuo because he was not familiar with the road.
"What exactly do you want? If you have a grudge against Mo'er, you can ask him to fight openly and aboveboard. It seems that your behavior like this is not only impossible to get on the stage, but also a bit too vicious, right?"
Old Zhao Kuo was also very shocked to see the person who came and killed one of his guards with a single abduction.
However, after all, he has been the emperor for many years, and he is very majestic, not to mention that he is in the palace with so many guards around him.
"Huh, this old man has always acted like this, so what if you kill one of your guards? The only son of this old man died at the hands of Guo Mo. If Guo Mo is not handed over to this old man, there will be no one in the palace tonight." Want to live—”
At the end of the visitor's speech, he yelled directly with the energy of his dantian, which made Zhao Kuo's eardrums buzz.
"Quick, hurry up and escort—"
Seeing that the person was about to go crazy, the old eunuch shouted again.
The salary of eating the king, the matter of being loyal to the king, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using them for a while, even if you know that this old man who came here is not easy to mess with, you have to work hard.
For the remaining 22 guards, Gela guys killed the coming people, while Cao Shan, another apprentice of the old eunuch, quietly came to Zhao Kuo's side and acted as his last barrier.
In the face of absolute strength, there is no such thing as two fists that can defeat four hands. The gap between the two sides is too great. In the eyes of the visitors, these guards are nothing more than gathering chicken feathers to make dusters.
Waving the snake-shaped cane in his hand, whistling in the wind, swords and swords flew in Funing Palace, and dead bodies fell to the ground continuously.
In just a quarter of an hour, of the sixteen second-rate masters, only seven were left alive.
Of the six first-class masters who did it, only three of them could stand.
"You... who are you? How could you have such vicious means?"
To say that these guards were all killed by the other party, Zhao Kuo probably would not be too surprised. The problem is that many of them were livid and died of poisoning, and the room was filled with a highly poisonous stench.
"Haha, is this old man poisonous? Then let you, a fool who stays in the palace all day, see the old man's more vicious methods—"
The snake-shaped crutch was raised again, and at some point, two tiny poisonous snakes appeared on the head of the crutch.
Although the poisonous snake is small, it looks very eerie. If Guo Mo were here, he would be able to recognize these two snakes, which are the same species as the one he got from Ouyang Ke.
It's just that these two snakes look more like babies, and the one in Ouyang Ke's hand is the best of this kind of poisonous snakes.
"Old poison, stop quickly—"
A loud reprimand came from the entrance of Funing Palace, and two women floated in one after the other, each holding a sword in their hands.
At the critical moment, it was Huang Rong and Murong Yan who arrived.
Chapter 329 It's Hard to Tell
Rebirth: Where Does the Sword of Shooting the Condor Return Chapter 329
After being reminded by the old eunuch, Cao Hai immediately unfolded his body and rushed to the harem to deliver a letter to the empress.
One must know that now that Guo Mo is not in the palace, the number one expert in the palace will naturally be Huang Rong who is in the "half-step peak" realm.
As the new year approached, the palace naturally had to make some preparations.
Now Guo Mo is not in the palace, but there is still a big family here, and Huang Rong, the master of the harem, is also planning for the New Year every day.
Although the Supreme Emperor Zhao Kuo was able to sit in the court for Guo Mo and handle various government affairs.
However, Huang Rong had to take care of Guo Mo's greetings and send-offs, whether to appease the remains of the martyrs in the army, or to leave the records of Guo Mo's vassals in Bianliang City.
The younger children who stayed by my side had already finished their dinner and gone to bed, but Huang Rong hadn't fallen asleep yet.
Not only did she not fall asleep, but even Murong Yan, the concubine who lived next door, had no intention of sleeping, and even brought the "Xiao Lian" sword to look for Huang Rong.
Compared with Huang Rong and Li Mochou, Murong Yan, who was once the empress of Xixia, entered the palace in Bianliang, but she regained her former spirit. practice" sword.
