The previous fourth disciple Feng Ge was one, and his fourth disciple Haji was the second one sent out by Guo Mo.

As for his eldest disciple Zhang Shijie and his third disciple Hu Yande, who are still training in front of the Hebei Army, Guo Mo has already thought of where they should go, but the time has not come yet.

"Brother, if you take my mother over, let her live in Zhongdu City, and let your sister-in-law and niece live in Zhongdu City, so that we can take care of each other."

When leaving, Guo Mo still gave instructions carefully.

He knew his eldest brother well. If Guo Mo didn't bring it up himself, the eldest brother would dare to let his mother and sister-in-law live with him in Changping.

The living facilities there are far inferior to those in Zhongdu City, and they are at the forefront of the border between Song and Mongolia, so safety may not be guaranteed.

Guo Jing did not stop any longer and left with Haji. He would first go to Bianliang City to pick up his mother Li Ping, and then go north to Zhongdu.

…

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Du is outside seeking an audience——"

As soon as Guo Jing left, the "Jin Yi" who was guarding outside the Hao Palace came in to report the matter.

Guo Mo originally wanted to find Du Gao, but he didn't expect that he would come in person.

"Please come in, Prime Minister Du -"

After all, Du Gao was now the prime minister of Xixia, so Guo Mo still put the word "please" in front of him.

"Your Majesty, Du Gao, is here to see you——"

Du Gao just wanted to pay homage, but Guo Mo stopped him.

"Du Qing, although the Supreme Emperor has stipulated that you will no longer address me as 'official' when you see me, you don't have to bow down to me every time. You will have to announce this later. Except for some important occasions, it is better not to bow down to me every time."

The Supreme Emperor Zhao Kuo summoned the important ministers of the court the night before Guo Mo ascended the throne and announced that he would abolish the "official family" and address the new emperor Guo Mo as "Your Majesty." Guo Mo finally found out.

He did not blame his father for his unnecessary actions, but instead felt the deep affection from Zhao Kuo as a loving father. Guo Mo even knew that this was the extravagant wish of many generations of emperors in the Song Dynasty.

"Du Qing, why did Du Qing suddenly change his color at my son's full moon banquet today? Is there anything wrong?"

Du Gao was one of the four strategic pacifiers under Guo Mo at that time. Although his position was not as high as that of Wei Liaoweng, he was the one who spent the longest time with Guo Mo.

After all, Guo Mo had been living in Luoyang City in those years, and he and Du Gao, who was the Henan Economic Strategy and Comfort Envoy at that time, could be regarded as never seeing each other.

"Your Majesty, I also suddenly discovered something at that time, and almost made a rude move. I went back and thought about it for a long time, and I thought it would be better to come and tell Your Majesty. No matter whether it really happens in the future, I can be prepared."

Du Gao spoke in a low voice, even a little cautious.

Guo Mo was very puzzled. Logically speaking, this Du Gao was also a man who knew both military and political affairs. He was more bold and bold than Wei Liaoweng. It was rare to see him being so timid.

"Du Qing, there are only you and me here. From your mouth to my ears, if you have anything to say, just say it. No matter what you say, I will not bear any grudge against you."

This is a loyal and upright capable minister. Guo Mo didn't want him to have too much psychological burden, so he first explained it with words.

"Your Majesty treats me like this, and I know that I will say everything I want to say. Your Majesty, when I hugged His Highness Prince Ning today, I accidentally touched the back of Prince Ning's head with my left hand, and found that this child was born with an inverse bone..."

When Du Gao said the word "rebellious", even such a loyal and upright person, he stopped in time.

"The bone in the back of the head?"

Guo Mo stood up in shock. He didn't expect that Du Gao was talking about this.

This matter can be big or small, especially in an era like the Song Dynasty. The most famous "rebellion in the back of the head" in history is Wei Yan and Wei Wenchang in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

However, it is still the Song Dynasty, and Guo Mo only plagiarized "The Romance of the Gods". I'm afraid we have to wait for hundreds of years for the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to be released.

In the era of advanced science and medicine in later generations, Guo Mo certainly understood the origin of this so-called "anti-bone".

Some people have a protruding occipital bone, which gives them the foundation of anti-bone. When viewed from the side, their heads look like a deliberately exaggerated question mark.

At the same time, anti-bone can also refer to those whose foreheads are particularly prominent, which is called frontal anti-bone, commonly known as "adze head" among the people.

The other type is spiritual, which refers to heretics, traitors, traitors, etc. who have a rebellious spiritual temperament.

In fact, this seems to be accumulated historical wisdom. Many people know that it is unreliable. However, due to the influence of traditional culture, people begin to tend to these mysterious preachings when they lack understanding of the nature of reality.

However, Guo Mo couldn't explain clearly to Du Gao, or to people of this era, the nature of "anti-bone".

"Okay, I understand this. Du Qing, what determines whether a person is 'rebellious' or not does not depend on a person's appearance. Although there is a saying that 'looks come from the heart', it is more about the acquired environment and

nourish."

"It's just a child. Even if I grow up in the future, I don't know how powerful I, Da Song, will be. Du Qing, just put your heart in your stomach. I know this well."

Guo Mo knew Du Gao's character, and naturally knew that he mentioned this matter entirely out of consideration for the Song Dynasty and was just loyal.

"Since your Majesty knows what you are thinking, I won't go into details anymore. After a tiring day, Your Majesty should take a rest early. I will take my leave -"

Du Gao bowed and retreated, but Guo Mo sat in the main hall, unable to calm down for a long time.

It stands to reason that Guo Mo doesn't care about the so-called "anti-bone" argument.

However, thinking of Murong Yan's worries, Murong Qiudi's requests, and the strange existence of the Murong family that has risen and fallen several times over hundreds of years, Guo Mo is a little unsure of his persistence.

…

Three days later, it was the day of the Xixia Dynasty meeting.

For more than half a year, the court meeting was usually presided over by Du Gao, the Prime Minister of Xixia, dealing with specific affairs compiled from various places.

However, there are some exceptions today.

When all the civil and military ministers entered the main hall, they found the empress Murong Yan sitting on the throne in the center.

What's rare is that today, Murong Yan no longer has a veil covering her face. This is the first time for many courtiers to see Murong Yan's appearance.

Murong Yan's appearance caught all the civil and military officials off guard, and even Du Gao was a little puzzled.

"Everyone, I am Murong Yan, the Empress of Great Xia. Many people have never seen me. Today I want to get to know you."

"Thank you all for your support and loyalty to Daxia over the past few years. Murong Yan would also like to thank you all -"

After saying that, Murong Yan stood up from the throne, cupped her fists and bowed to Wen Wu below.

"This this……"

"This is what we should do, how dare we accept this gift from the Queen?"

The ministers below, especially some of the veterans in the court, also returned the courtesy and said "dare not".

"Prime Minister Du, please go and invite His Majesty to come over -"

Suddenly, Murong Yan said to Du Gao.

Du Gao frowned, and he naturally understood who Murong Yan was referring to.

The problem is that although Guo Mo makes the final decision on military and state affairs, Guo Mo has never attended a court meeting in Xixia for so long.

Now, the empress of Xixia and the concubine of the Song Dynasty, in front of the civil and military officials of the court, wants to invite His Majesty to come by herself. Is it true?...

"Your Majesty Du Gao, I will obey the king's order——"

Although Du Gao was a little confused, he still bowed out of the court and came outside the main hall.

"Do you know where His Majesty is now?"

Outside the main hall, there were people in "jinyi" guarding him. Du Gao stopped a person casually and asked.

"Prime Minister Du, it seems that Your Majesty went to the West Courtyard early in the morning. He heard that Commander Wu was about to break through. His Majesty rushed over after receiving the report."

Commander Wu is Guo Mo's second apprentice Wu Nantian, who is now the deputy commander of "Jinyi" like Li Zhichang.

Wu Nantian has been in seclusion since years ago. It has been more than five months. Is he going to leave seclusion today?

Du Gao left the main hall and went straight to the west courtyard. However far away, he heard the sound of fighting in the west courtyard.

The entire west courtyard is occupied by people in "Jinyi". It is used as a place for daily living and practice. Except for those on regular duty, everyone else usually stays in this courtyard.

Du Gao walked into the courtyard and found that dozens of "Jinyi" were gathered around. Two people were taking action, one was the "Jinyi" commander "Iron Palm Ruthless" Lu Pingsheng, and the other was Wu Nantian who had just left seclusion.

.

Guo Mo stood with his hands behind his back, standing on the sidelines watching the fight between the two.

It turned out that just after Guo Mo finished breakfast, Li Zhichang ran over and told him that Wu Nantian was about to break through, and Guo Mo hurried over.

As his second disciple, he is the one who has followed Guo Mo the longest among all the disciples, and he is currently the most accomplished in martial arts. He will soon break through to the first-class level at the age of twenty-two.

When Guo Mo arrived, Wu Nantian was already fighting with Lu Pingsheng. Looking at his apprentice's condition, Guo Mo knew that he was still one step away from the final breakthrough.

"Iron Palm Ruthless" Lu Pingsheng was at the same second-rate level as Wu Nantian, but his experience and skill were slightly stronger than Wu Nantian's, and the iron palm in his hand was even more powerful.

He knew that he was giving Wu Nantian a trick, asking him to unleash all his years of accumulation, so he turned his energy into yin and yang and guarded the door, not seeking merit, but seeking no faults.

Guo Mo watched the two fight for more than twenty rounds, but Wu Nantian still failed to take the final step. The "Sunset Palm" in his hand was getting faster and faster, and there seemed to be no gap between the moves before and after.

"How long have they been fighting?"

Guo Mo asked "Jinyi" next to him softly.

"Teacher, the two commanders have fought for more than fifty rounds."

"Zhichang, you also go over and use the 'Three Flowers Gathering Palm' to deal with him and force him to break through his limits."

Guo Mo thought for a moment, then turned to give instructions to Li Zhichang who was standing aside.

In this way, Lu Pingsheng and Li Zhichang fought against Wu Nantian.
