At the end of July, the chrysanthemums in Bianliang City were already in bloom.

Guo Mo and his entourage returned to Bianliang Palace, and first went to Funing Palace to meet the Supreme Emperor Zhao Kuo. They had not seen him for more than half a year. Old Zhao Kuo was in good health and spirit.

"Xiao Qi, everything is ready in Bianliang City. I heard that the new palace in Zhongdu City is half complete, which is enough for daily use. When do you plan to set off?"

Old Zhao Kuo was always so happy and satisfied when he saw his only son, but Guo Mo heard something strange in it.

"Dad, aren't you going to Zhongdu City with us?"

Guo Mo asked carefully, fearing that Zhao Kuo would give an affirmative answer.

"Haha, Xiao Qi, dad, I am already old, and I am used to living in Bianliang City, and it is also very close to Grandfather Taizu's mausoleum. I plan to stay here."

"I had someone check out the Feng Shui years ago and found a good location for myself. In the future, when my father and I are a hundred years old, please ask Xiao Qi to send me there."

Before the Song Dynasty, emperors usually started to build their own mausoleums after ascending the throne. For example, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty started building Maoling Mausoleum when he was less than twenty years old, and it took more than fifty years to build it.

However, the emperors of the Song Dynasty did not practice it during their lifetimes, but after their deaths, they asked for "burial in July", that is, the period from death to burial should not exceed seven months.

“This city gate will be called ‘Yongding Gate’ from now on——”

After crossing the Yellow River, the land of Hebei is smooth.

The top ministers have all given their awards, but the candidate for the crown prince has not been mentioned.

"Report——Your Majesty, the "Dunwu" army Meng Dutong has eliminated the last resistance force of the Western Liao Kingdom a month ago. Now the Western Liao Kingdom has been included in the territory of our Song Dynasty——"

"This is the ancestral motto of the descendants of the Zhao family for future generations. If there is any violation, the cabinet can convene a meeting and have the right to vote on the replacement of the emperor-"

How could an "unscrupulous" person like him be the Minister of Rites of the Song Dynasty?

"Simo, come to the front and tell us in detail what's going on?"

Several important ministers, headed by the cabinet, led the civil and military ministers to go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to wait for Guo Mo, so as to give them a chance to get acquainted and shocked.

Here, Xiao Longnu has always been a special being. She is already seventeen years old this year. Since she has never had much contact with the outside world, she has always been by Li Mochou's side.

Guo Mogao is sitting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which is commonly known as the Jinluan Hall. It is also the largest palace in the Forbidden City. It is not comparable to the palaces in Lin'an, Luoyang or Bianliang.

Of course, the canonization of more people still has to go through the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Personnel, etc., under the auspices and supervision of the cabinet.

At Guo Jing's age, he is also an absolutely powerful prince, which still makes many people jealous or jealous.

Guo Mo was also very helpless. He couldn't help his father's face, and there were some things that really required the use of eunuchs, so Guo Mo accepted it half-heartedly.

"My lords, please make peace——"

These are the four gates of Miyagi.

Previously, because Ande, the leader of "Luo's Ghost Country", was seriously ill, Zhao Simo was urgently summoned back. In order to ensure his son's safety, Guo Mo even dispatched thirty experts from "Jin Yi" to accompany him.

It turned out that after Zhao Simo returned to the "Luo's Ghost Country", the old king Ander died of illness not long after. As the only legal heir, Zhao Simo should have become the new king of the "Luo's Ghost Country".

This is the sentiment of most people, and they have used the word "ye" unconsciously.

Daming, Enzhou, Hejian, Zhongdu, more than 1,300 miles away, more than 10,000 people walked for fifteen days before they saw the south gate of Zhongdu City.

It even arranged for Zhu Ziliu, a "scholar" with both civil and military skills, to serve as Zhao Simo's right-hand man and go to the "Luo Family Ghost Country" together.

Since he is not in trouble, even if his son comes here to play, Guo Mo will not blame him, but will treat his son kindly.

You must know that this is the first king granted by Guo Mo. Although many ministers were granted the title of king during the Song Dynasty, most of them were posthumous titles, such as Yue Fei's "King of E".

All of a sudden, the four gates of the imperial city appeared.

Only the names of some city gates, Guo Mo deliberately left out, just to show off in public today.

"Your Majesty, there is an envoy from the 'Luo Family Ghost Country' outside the palace asking to see him. He claims to be King Yongnan——"

However, Zhao Simo, who was already twelve years old and became the leader of the "Luo Family Ghost Kingdom", did not dare to be as "presumptuous" as his father.

"Xiao Qi, do you mean that I can design the future mausoleum according to my own preferences?"

"Haha, okay, since my son is so filial, if dad doesn't dare to accept it, it would be too petty."

"As for the so-called ancestral teachings, if dad thinks there are any that are unreasonable, he can mention them one by one and let his son announce the abolition or modification."

In this era, especially when Guo Mo was still a powerful king, how could he actually say that the cabinet had the right to convene a meeting to discuss the replacement of the emperor?

"Your Majesty, you are truly an unprecedented king - although at this time our territory in the Song Dynasty is not the largest in history, and our army may not be the most courageous in history, your Majesty's mind is unprecedented!"

In fact, as early as two months ago, various departments of the central government sent advance personnel to Zhongdu City to set up their respective yamen.

All this has also caused great repercussions in the "Luo's Ghost Kingdom", especially in the neighboring Dali. After leaving the country and joining the Song Dynasty, the lives of the local people have improved visibly, which has made many "Luo's Ghost Kingdom"

People have some ideas.

The "Hu Ben" army left a thousand soldiers behind and took over the defense of "Yongding Gate".

The Song Dynasty will soon move its capital to Zhongdu City. The place occupied by the Jin Kingdom and the Mongols will soon become the capital of the Song Dynasty.

The people who came from Bianliang had never seen such a wide square before? They were all shocked by the vastness.

"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty——"

It can even be said that the name still retains "Song", but in essence, the core is no longer Song.

Once upon a time, old Xue Ji was worried that Guo Mo would become a figure like Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The Song Dynasty had accumulated many years of accumulation, and the national treasury was sufficient, but it could not withstand a monarch who liked to be "military".

There was no old eunuch standing beside him, so despite Guo Mo's objections, Lao Zhao Kuo forced Cao Shan and Cao Hai to Guo Mo.

The Chi Road from Bianliang to Zhongdu was completely repaired two months ago thanks to the efforts of tens of thousands of prisoners of war.

"Since we have surrendered to the Song Dynasty, the name 'Luo Shi Gui Kingdom' is no longer suitable to be used. I personally gave it the name 'Guizhou', which is the eighteenth province of the Song Dynasty. Zhu Ziliu is the first Guizhou Province."

Chief Envoy."

Besides, training cavalry for the "Luo Family Ghost Kingdom" and sending Zhu Ziliu to accompany him may not have been just for today.

"Dad, as long as you are happy, you can design whatever you want. Even if it is a little out of the ordinary, it can be considered as your son's filial piety."

To be precise, they tended to favor Guo Mo, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, especially Elder Shi who had been to Lin'an, lived on Peach Blossom Island, and witnessed the prosperity of the Song Dynasty.

"Brother Mo, in such a big place, there is no problem for the three of us sisters to live together. It's okay for the younger ones as well. We'll see how we can arrange accommodation for Long'er and Xiang'er later."

There was a living room attendant accompanying him, who recorded Guo Mo's words so that they could be handed over to Yousi for revision according to instructions.

However, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, no one dared to give advice.

Just as this wave of congratulations passed, another army horse galloped over from outside the Meridian Gate, shouting all the way.

"Promote Zhao Rushu, the Minister of Punishment, to the rank of Taifu, and was given the title of Duke of Jin——"

After Ander's death, An Ling'er, who was automatically promoted to the "Empress Dowager", and Elder Shi, the leader of the eight thousand most powerful cavalry in the "Luo Family Ghost Kingdom", naturally tended to favor the Song Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts.

Guo Mo didn't ask what his son was doing here. Seeing his clean clothes and rosy face, he knew that the boy had not encountered any difficulties.

"This city gate can be called 'Tiananmen' from now on, the one to the north can be called 'Di'anmen', and the two sides are 'Zuo'anmen' and 'You'anmen' -"

Zhao Kuo also received the news immediately. He was so happy that he was filled with emotions. His son was really too strong. This is the style of an emperor!

Immediately, Lao Zhao Kuo led a minister from the Ministry of Works, a master craftsman who served as a supervisor, and people from Qin Tianjian, and the group left Bianliang City in a mighty manner and went to the Gongyi Emperor's Mausoleum.

"Father, I have long heard that you will move the capital in August this year. After 'discussing' with several elders of the 'Luoshi Ghost Kingdom', Erchen decided to go to the 'Luoshi Ghost Kingdom' and submit to the Song Dynasty. Erchen

I don’t want to be the master anymore, I would like to be an ordinary citizen of the Song Dynasty."

"Whether it's guilt or criticism, if others have any different opinions, just let them argue with my son."

This is the "unscrupulous" Minister of Etiquette Cheng Jue. This happened not once or twice. Guo Mo sometimes wanted to change the old guy's seat.

The corresponding officials are on duty to fulfill the promise.

"As for the handling of the Western Liao Kingdom, it is of great importance. We should wait until Meng Dutong returns to Beijing and discuss it with the cabinet before making a decision."

Guo Mo naturally had no reason to refuse what he got.

"My lords, today I am moving the capital of the Song Dynasty to Zhongdu City. Some cities need to be renamed."

In early August, the wind was gentle and the sun was beautiful, and the sky was clear.

Other officials and soldiers, as well as people who came out to greet them from Zhongdu City, surrounded Guo Mo and his party and continued walking into the city.

Guo Mo can be considered strong enough now. Even if there are different voices, it will not affect the overall situation.

With three good news in one day, plus the joy of moving the capital, Guo Mo publicly canonized a group of meritorious civil and military officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Haha, good, good, good things come in pairs! In a moment, a banquet will be held in the square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony to congratulate Meng Dutong and the brothers of the 'Dunwu' Army on their expansion of territory!"

"Promote Xue Ji, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, to the rank of Grand Master, and give him the title of Duke of Zhao——"

It's amazing that the palace full of civil and military ministers are still immersed in the joy of moving the capital, especially seeing such a solemn and majestic new palace.

Immediately afterwards, a huge square appeared in front, with the red city gate building not far away in the background, which gave Guo Mo an illusion.

Only then did Zhao Simo move north, and in the "Luo Family Ghost Country", there were Zhu Ziliu in Wen, Elder Shi in Wu, and An Ling'er in the palace to take care of him.

Such a loud sound was heard by many civil and military officials, not to mention Guo Mo, who was very powerful.

Who would want their mausoleum to be built in a hurry over dozens of days?

However, the emperors of the Song Dynasty had always been frugal, and the specifications of imperial mausoleums had certain restrictions starting from Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.

"My lords, please go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony first. Let me change my clothes and come back."
