Liu Mengyan's family stayed in Dadu, and he was considered a "naked official". He only brought a nieces and granddaughter of a clan who was estranged from blood, and used it to win over marriage.

Modu is both civil and military, has outstanding talents, and is loyal and reliable, and is also a good talent. He has no family. He happens to be Mingshu's good match.

Begging Mingshu to Mo Du as his wife not only made Mo Du more loyal, but also found a good son-in-law for Mingshu, giving her lifelong trust, and her uncle was fully responsible.

Seeing that Mo Du is definitely satisfied with Mingshu, Mingshu seems to have a good impression of Mo Du.

OK, not bad.

Liu Mengyan is in a better mood.

"Tai Shi, the envoy of the Yuan Dynasty, Hacielshan, paid a visit." Suddenly the housekeeper came in to report.

"Hurry and invite Haci'er to the good official! Come in!" Liu Mengyan was shocked, and he quickly stood up, hurriedly walked out, and went to greet him in person, and Modu followed behind him.

At this time, the envoy of the Yuan Dynasty, Haciershan, had already entered the house directly and entered the atrium with carelessness.

"Oh, my official Hacier Shan, if you have anything to send someone to give me an order, the official will come to visit you on his own initiative. Why don't the official come here in person?" As soon as Liu Mengyan saw Hacier Shan, he quickly bowed and said inexperienced Mongolian dialect.

In order to deceive the soldiers and civilians of the Central Plains, the Yuan court did withdraw most of the Mongolian Semu officials, and even the village social security chief evacuated them. The people who did not know the truth really thought that the Mongolian Yuan had returned the Central Plains.

But in fact, in order to control and supervise the Song court, Kublai Khan sent another "Da Yuan envoy" to stay in Kaifeng, nominally an envoy, but in fact, a large-scale "Daluhachi".

However, in order to deceive the Han people, this large "Daluhachi" does not care about affairs and tries to keep a low profile.

But once the pseudo-Song court changed without being controlled by the Yuan Dynasty, Haciershan had the right to control the situation and mobilized the Yuan army that "coordinated defense" in the Central Plains.

There are some meanings of the Supreme Emperor.

Therefore, Liu Mengyan must not neglect Haci's good deeds.

"Taishou, I, Haciershan, have come by myself. I hope I will not disturb the Taishou." Haciershan gave a casual greeting and entered the painting hall on his own.

"Haci, Modu is polite. Modu is so happy to see Haci," Modu said respectfully.

"Haha, Modu, I knew you were here, it's fine. You must have a few drinks with me today." Haciershan seemed to like Modu very much, and the two of them were familiar with each other.

This is of course the result of Modu’s active friendship and congratulations.

Liu Mengyan felt even more relieved when he saw that the Mongolian powerful people were also satisfied with Mo Du.

Five days later, the Chuigong Hall was always in court, and Zhao Xian suddenly proposed that the commander of the palace guards should add one person. The reason was that the three thousand guards had a heavy responsibility to guard the palace, and Modu, the Du Yuhou, could not be transferred.

Before Liu Mengyan could speak, Ye Li, Kong Zhu and others opposed it without hesitation. Liu Mengyan didn't have to take action, and Zhao Xian's "proposal" was taken back.

Liu Mengyan looked at Zhao Xian with a helpless look and sneered in his heart.

You are just a chess piece of the Yuan Dynasty, an object used to maintain the morale of the people in the Central Plains. Do you really think you are the emperor? Do you know what the emperor is?

The emperor is the one who has strong soldiers and horses, not because of his surname Zhao.

As a result, not only did not add a new guard commander, but he was also promoted to the position of commander in front of the Modu Palace, and also served as the guard of the guard's personal army!

The commander in front of the palace is the highest guard general, commonly known as the "Dian Zheng" or the Grand Marshal of the Palace.

In other words, Mo Du became "Master Mo". All the power of the imperial guards in the palace fell into the hands of Liu Mengyan. At least, Liu Mengyan and his ministers believed so.

They were more at ease.

Zhao Xian was secretly happy, but his expression was very disappointed. He never said a word at the court meeting and sat there like a puppet until Liu Mengyan announced his retirement to the court, and he left in a bad mood.

"Master Mo, congratulations to Gaosheng." After the court came, the ministers congratulated Mo Du one after another.

Although the commander in front of the palace and the guards were not as good as the Privy Councilor in his official position, he was in charge of the power of the imperial guards in the capital and the palace, and he was a very popular figure.

"Master Mo." The Privy Councilor Ye Li whispered to him, "There are people in this palace who are restless. Master Mo should pay more attention and must protect the official family and the queen mother."

The so-called protection is of course Modu strictly monitors Zhao Xian and his son.

"Many of the palace people in the palace are queens. The queen is concerned about the overall situation and knows the general situation. In the palace, you can listen to the queen's meaning."

This means that you can follow the queen's instructions, but don't pay attention to Zhao Xian and his son.

Mo Du nodded and said, "Gong-gong Ye has made up his words to plan for the country, and the officials have recorded it."

Ye Li continued to whisper: "You are in charge of the military power of the capital and the palace, and you are going to marry Liu Xianggong's grand niece, and you are also kind to Hacier. This future is promising, do it well, do it well."

"Don't worry, your subordinates have great responsibilities, so they must not take it lightly." Mo Du said perfunctorily. Ye Li is the second-ranked figure in the Song court, second only to Liu Mengyan, and is also the most important minister of the Party. Of course, Mo Du should lower his attitude.

Ye Li pointed to the south again, "The Khan said that the Song Dynasty can last for a year. If the decisive battle between the Central Plains is lucky enough to win the pseudo-Tang Dynasty, you and I still have Hebei to go, and with the Dayuan there, we will always have a way out."

Mo Du smiled and said, "With the Grand Tutor and the Hunter working hard on the overall situation, what are the officials afraid of? Just concentrate on managing defense. The Hunters sit in the hall, and the military affairs inside and outside the palace will serve the officials."

…………

The north bank of the Yangtze River, Anqing Prefecture.

The governor of Anqing, Wang Silang, was standing on Xiaogu Mountain by the river, looking at the opposite shore not far away, with a worried look on his face.

If you don’t know, you think he is a loyal minister and good herder who cares about national affairs.

"Princes, don't look at it. Don't worry, the pseudo-Tang will not cross the river soon." The aide pointed to the north, "The camp within a hundred miles is stationed with tens of thousands of cavalry of the Dayuan."

The staff was very touched by Wang Silang. This prefect, who had been in office for only three months, was very concerned about Yangtze River defense and would definitely climb up to the top to see the military situation on the other side almost every two days.

Fortunately, although the Tang army navy crossed the Yangtze River and showed its might, it did not cross the river.

"If you want, you want, but Jiang wants to get it." Wang Silang said in a Sichuan-Shu accent, "This Jiang defense is guarding the troops! Never be careless, don't ask the Tang army to attack!"

"Abide by the order!" The officials took the order together.

Wang Silang's bright red robe of the prefect, straightened his brand new long-winged hard-headed black hat, and walked down the mountain with his hands behind his back, "Go back to the yamen!"

Speaking of which, he was also considered to have a good official career. At the end of last year, he abandoned his post from the position of Zhouzhi County Magistrate of Shaanxi Province, fled, crossed the Yellow River from Fengling, and fled to Henan controlled by the Yuan army.

Because the Tang army had occupied the entire Guanzhong, he was not only not punished as a fugitive, but also received commendation for not surrendering to the Tang court. In addition, he used the property plundered by Zhouzhi County Magistrate to bribe Shangguan, and as a result, he was soon restored to his post and became the magistrate of Yucheng County.

Within a few months, because of his skill in pursuing business, he "knows the pseudo-Tang Dynasty" and was able to receive some taxes during the great tax resistance, so he was promoted to Guide Prefecture.

But just when Wang Silang was proud, the great event of the Yuan Dynasty's "returning the Central Plains and re-establishing Zhao and Song" happened.

All the Mongolian Semu officials returned north and many vacancies were vacant. With his ability to do business, it was not difficult to take the opportunity to find a prefect.

As a result, he followed the newly enfeoffed Yansheng Gong Kong Zhu and really found a prefect.

But what made Wang Silang cry but not crying was that the errand appointed by the court was the prefect of Anqing! It was not as good as the prefect of Guide who had been close to Kaifeng before!

Anqing is next to the riverside, which is the front line. How could he run away when the Tang army crosses the river?

But at this point, Wang Silang could only take office with his teeth. After taking office, he did nothing else, just patrolling the river defense, recruiting village warriors, and building embankments by the river to prevent the Tang army from attacking.

Even the King of Envoys raided the river defense several times in the middle of the night, visited the people on the riverside despite their hard work, condolenced the fishermen, and inspired them to guard against the Tang army.

As a result, he actually won the reputation of "anti-Tang officials" and was commended by Shangguan.

Wang Silang, the "anti-offensive official of the Tang Dynasty", resolutely refused to go to the fake Tang Dynasty, was honest and self-disciplined, knew the ills of the fake Tang Dynasty, and never forgot to defend against the fake Tang Dynasty every day. He was really a rare loyal minister.

This statement spread like wildfire and spread to Kaifeng, which made Wang Silang's official voice suddenly rise.

It is said that a minister in the court made a speech, and at most one year the king's envoy could be transferred to Kaifeng and hold important positions.

This kind of rumor also made Wang Silang gradually gain reputation in the Huaixi officialdom.

"Defending against the fake Tang Dynasty is a major event in the court and it is urgent. You are all familiar with sages and rats, and you should understand these principles..."

When Wang Silang returned to the prefect's office, the first thing he did was to summon the magistrates of each county and ask them to strictly guard against the important matter of the Tang army crossing the river, and to "mobilize the people and work together to defend themselves" and "as soon as there is a warning, they will be sent to you immediately."

It was also required to build beacon towers along the river. When a Tang army crossed the river, they immediately raised a fire.

Wang Silang also personally visited the Yuan army camp dozens of miles away and became familiar with the Yuan army generals so that he could ask for help as soon as possible.

It can be said that in order to resist the Tang Dynasty, the prefect Wang reached the point of eating and eating at night. It really touched the Huaixi officialdom.

For a time, a trend of taking the prefect as a model in the Huaixi officialdom appeared, and officials of all sizes began to fight against Tang Shangxin.

It is faintly true that Wang Silang has such a meaning as a "famous minister".

"If all the officials of the Song Dynasty were like kings, then there would be no worries in the Central Plains!"

"The king's envoy sleeps in the open air, and eats in the evening. No one can do it first!"

"The king and the king are well aware of the false and false love of the false Tang Dynasty, and they practice the defense of the river. The Philippines have no horns and no hair on the shin."

These words came to Wang Silang's ears, and Wang Silang's first reaction was not to be happy, but to be afraid.

The ancestor Banban, I don’t want to be so famous. The pseudo-Tang navy is on the surface of the river! Is it going to kill me if you praise me like this?

Play the piano randomly!

…………

"Report to Your Majesty, Jin Guangruo was sent back to Jiangling. When she saw her parents, she was now led by Jin Chongxin to thank her for her. She was waiting for an order outside the palace to meet her." The guard reported.

Li Luo of Longzhang Palace put down the memorial and "passed in."

"Abide by the order!"

A moment later, Jin Chongxin, a doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, led a gray-haired woman into the hall. The two of them did not dare to look up, but leaned down and kowtowed together.

"My husband, Jin Chongxin, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, pay homage to Your Majesty, long live long live long live long live long!"

"I, Jin Guangruo, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, long live, long live, long live!"

Li Luo nodded, "Premium, give him a seat."
