Chapter 324 Return of Xixia to Song Dynasty

In April of Western Xia, spring has already ended in the south of the Yangtze River.

Outside the Hao Palace, it was drizzling, but inside the Hao Palace, Murong Yan suffered a day and night of torture, and finally gave birth successfully.

Even though she had first-class skills, Murong Yan felt that half of her life was about to fall into it.

"Brother Mo, is this a boy or a girl?"

This was Murong Yan's first childbirth, and unfortunately she encountered dystocia.

The child's head was a bit big, and it caused Murong Yan so much pain that even though he was not unconscious at the last moment, he did not have the strength to take care of the baby.

"Yan'er, he's a son. Come and see how much his eyes look like yours -"

The newly born baby has been cleaned and wrapped in a soft swaddle.

Here, Guo Mo and Murong Yan have no relatives, so naturally there is no one competing with Guo Mo to hold the child.

When she heard that she had given birth to a son, Murong Yan was not happy at all. It seemed that she was more looking forward to giving birth to a daughter?

"Yan'er, you don't need to be influenced by Murong Qiudi. Although this child also has Murong's blood flowing in his body, he is a descendant of my Zhao family in the Song Dynasty."

"As long as I, Guo Mo, am here, no one can take advantage of our child. Since this child was born here, I will call him 'Prince Ning', and the fiefdom will be this Zhongxing Mansion."

Except for the eldest son Guo Yi, Guo Mo tried his best to treat all the other sons equally. At least they are still children now and there has not been any sign of disharmony.

"Well, Yan'er believes in Brother Mo, so give your son a name."

Now that things have come to this, even deep down in Murong Yan's heart, she still vaguely feels that something bad will happen. However, this newly born baby is innocent after all. After all, it is her biological son.

"Since you are worried that this child will make mistakes in the future, why don't I give him the word 'Shi', 'The etiquette is gentle and the heart is suitable, and the festival is refreshing and the disease is slightly relieved.' What do you think about naming him Guo Shi?"

Looking at the drizzle outside the window, Guo Mo thought for a moment and said.

"Guo Shi? A person who is well-educated and sensible, respects teachers and values ​​teaching, can endure hardships, and has perseverance. Well, I like this name."

Murong Yan is not just a martial artist. She has also studied the classics of the sages diligently since she was a child. When she heard that Guo Mo named her child the word "suit", she was naturally very happy.

The most difficult part was the month of confinement, because there were really no relatives around to take care of her. Except for a few palace maids, it was Guo Mo who accompanied Murong Yan.

As soon as the confinement was over, a grand "full moon" wine was held in Zhongxing City.

Now, Murong Yan is still the empress of Xixia, and the son she gave birth to will naturally be the future prince of Xixia. As for the title "Prince Ning" given by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, many people don't understand what it means.

The title "Ning Wang" has existed since ancient times, and the earliest one can even be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty.

"Prince Yongning left me the great treasure turtle, Shao Tianming."

"The Duke of Zhou called King Wen King Ningcheng and also called King Wu King Ning. With this name, both of them combined."

King Ning here refers to King Wen, and "Ning" is used as "Wen".

The person who was actually canonized as "Prince Ning" by the emperor was Li Xian of the Tang Dynasty, the eldest son of Emperor Ruizong Li Dan of the Tang Dynasty. His real name was Li Chengqi. After Li Dan ascended the throne, he became the prince.

However, his younger brother Li Longji helped his father Li Dan seize power due to a coup, and his merits and reputation were great, so Li Xian gave up the crown princeship to Li Longji, and he was named Prince Ning.

In the Song Dynasty, there was also a Prince Ning, Zhao Yuanzi, named Xidao, the sixth son of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty.

After Song Zhenzong succeeded to the throne, he was successively named King of Pengcheng County, King of Ning, King of Xiang, and King of Xu.

In the spring of the second year of Tianxi's reign, a fire broke out in the palace, and Zhao Yuanze died of fright at the age of forty-two.

The experiences of these "Ning Princes", combined with the Guo Shi who was named Prince Ning in front of him, made some ministers with heavy thoughts have some thoughts.

Du Gao, the Prime Minister of Xixia, the "Dunwu Army" all controlled Meng Gong, the "Jingnan Army" all controlled Guo Jing, the "Black Wind Shuangsha", Hao Datong, Lu Chengfeng, etc., plus a group of important officials originally from Xixia,

This full moon wine is still very lively.

After everyone's unanimous cheers, Murong Yan also personally took out little Guo Shi, who had just turned one month old, and praised her again. People who were close to her, such as Guo Jing, held the child in her arms and were very affectionate.

As the head of the hundred officials here, Du Gao also took over Xiao Guo.

A one-month-old baby would normally only sleep soundly, but this baby was very energetic. As he was passed from person to person, he was actually grinning.

Du Gao is already fifty-seven years old and has several grandchildren. The way he holds his children makes Guo Mo feel inferior.

"Haha, Your Majesty, the old minister, His Royal Highness Prince Guan Ning, has a full heaven, a square pavilion, eight-colored eyebrows, and bright stars. When he grows up, he will be a handsome young man, hahaha... huh?"

At Xiao Guo Shi's level, it was naturally difficult to say good wishes for promotion and wealth. Seeing how fair the child looked, Du Gao praised the child's appearance.

However, when Du Gao's left hand accidentally touched the back of Xiao Guo Shi's head, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

"Haha, I'm a bit drunk, I don't have any strength left in my hands."

Murong Yan took the child back smoothly, said hello to everyone, and took little Guo Shi back to the harem.

Du Gao's facial changes naturally did not escape Guo Mo's eyes.

However, now was the time when everyone was drinking and drinking, and Guo Mo couldn't ask clearly on the spot, so he had to wait until after the banquet.

After the banquet, everyone left, and Guo Jing also came to say goodbye.

He originally accompanied Guo Mo to deal with Ouyang Ke, but unexpectedly he fought a battle in Xixia and directly killed the Mongolian cavalry in Xixia.

"Brother, after you return to Zhongdu, in addition to daily training of the army, you must also always be vigilant against the Mongolian army outside Juyong Pass."

"I have already informed Senior Brother Lu that he will send 200 'Tingfeng' troops to the grassland. However, your army's servants will do whatever they want."

"Half of the originally planned three-year capital move has already passed. In the future, your Northern Military Region Governor's Office will be located in Changping. Many things need to be prepared in advance."

Guo Mo has never been worried about Guo Jing, his eldest brother.

"Second brother, my mother is getting older. I want to take her with me so that I can take care of her more easily. Ping'er has been staying on Peach Blossom Island these years. As a father, I have been a little too unscrupulous."

"Now that he is twelve years old, I plan to take him directly to the army so that he can be a companion of Kublai Khan."

Kublai Khan was three years older than Guo Ping and was now fifteen years old. He was capable of both literary and military skills and was Tuo Lei's favorite son.

Perhaps worried that what happened to him would happen to his sons, Tuo Lei asked Kublai Khan to worship Guo Jing as his disciple, and asked him to follow Guo Jing to the Song Dynasty.

However, after Kublai Khan left, Tuo Lei unexpectedly sent his eldest son Meng Ge to the four islands of Japan, which has now become Tuo Lei's territory.

However, after following Guo Mo's advice, the male population on the island was almost extinct, leaving only young and beautiful women.

Of course, King Zhongxian Anhyo of Goryeo also died in Tolei's Eastern Expedition.

"Brother, Kublai Khan, what are your plans?"

Guo Mo already knew about Kublai Khan's apprenticeship with Guo Jing. A few years ago, Guo Mo had met Kublai Khan, and he showed that he was different at a young age.

Now, when he heard that Kublai Khan had become the apprentice of his eldest brother Guo Jing, Guo Mo always felt that this was a bit strange.

"Second brother, he is Tole Anda's son, so he is no different from our own son. Besides, this kid is indeed very smart. Brother, I am ready to give you all my own skills, in addition to the two unique skills of the Beggar Clan.

Give it to him."

Hearing Guo Mo ask about his apprentice, Guo Jing felt excited for no reason.

Guo Mo already had several apprentices, and Guo Jing even helped his second brother take care of those boys for several years. Although he didn't say it, he was always a little envious in his heart.

Until he met Kublai Khan in the Great Dynasty, Tuo Leanda actually asked him to worship him as his disciple?

Guo Jing flew to Bianliang City to attend Guo Mo's enthronement ceremony. Kublai Khan, together with Lu Guanying, led the "Hu Ben Army" back to Huazheng in Hejian Prefecture.

Looking at his elder brother's appearance, Guo Mo suddenly felt that he was a little petty.

Yes, even in another time and space, Kublai Khan swept across the Central Plains, pacified Dali, destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, and founded the Yuan Dynasty.

However, after all, this place is no longer the original time and space, and his appearance has changed everything beyond recognition.

Today's Mongolia has more than enough to protect itself but not enough to attack. The Song Dynasty is even more prosperous and unprecedentedly powerful. Do you still fear Kublai Khan, a fifteen-year-old child?

"Brother, that kid of Kublai Khan, I once met him once at the Seven Sages Village in the desert. He is indeed a smart kid."

"You must have started teaching him the 'Eight Methods of the Desert', right? Since it is difficult to teach him the unique skills of the Beggar Clan, after he reaches the third level of the 'Eight Methods of the Desert', you will teach him the 'Rising Sun and Setting Sun Palm'

Bar."

"In addition, I also urge him to read more books on weekdays. In the future, after the capital is moved, there will be additional Enke, and this kid will be given a try in the examination room."

Since Kublai Khan was destined not to become the founding emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Guo Mo thought that such a unique talent should not be wasted, and maybe he could become a pillar of the Song Dynasty in the future.

"Haha, okay, second brother, you don't know yet, but that boy Kublai Khan admires you very much. If he knows that this is your request to him, I think that boy will study harder.

."

Seeing that his second brother had promised all the "Rising Sun and Setting Sun Palms", he knew that Guo Mo had completely approved of Kublai Khan.

You must know that Guo Mo is different from Guo Jing. He has now become the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, so the "Anda" love between him and Tuo Lei cannot override the national interests in any case.

As for Guo Jing, he was not only Tuo Lei's sworn sworn brother-in-law to Anda, but also Tuo Lei's brother-in-law, Kublai Khan's biological uncle. The loyal and kind-hearted Guo Jing naturally wanted to live in harmony with each other.

Guo Jing left and took Haji with him.

Haji, who is nineteen years old, is tall and powerful. In the past few years, he has been following Guo Mo, but his martial arts has never been able to break through to the second-rate level.

This is a natural battlefield warrior, just like his third disciple Hu Yande, so Guo Mo simply dumped this kid to his elder brother again.

After all, Guo Jing is now the Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Military Region with an army of 100,000, and the number of generals available to him is somewhat limited.

In order to capture Bianliang City and completely destroy the Jin Kingdom, Guo Mo specially transferred Qin Ju, the deputy commander of the "Jingnan Army", to the "Yue Family Army" to assist the young Yue Ao.

And Guo Jing's right-hand man, "Iron Palm Ruthless" Lu Pingsheng, has also entered the "Jin Yi" and became the commander of the "Jin Yi". Guo Mo naturally has to bring some fresh blood to his eldest brother.
