On the 17th day of the first lunar month, the people had to take advantage of this last carnival night to have a happy life and then start the hard work of the new year. Most of the civil and military officials were also enjoying this rare three-day holiday. Therefore, when several fast horses came from the crossroads at lightning speed, and finally stopped in front of Mao Zhong's house in Duke Huo, everyone at the door was shocked. But before they could even ask, the sects recognized the strong man with a big cloak in front of them and hurriedly retreated aside.

Isn’t that General Ge Fu Shunge, the in-laws of the family’s husband Wang Maozhong?

Ge Fushun, who often comes and goes to Wang Maozhong's living room like a gust of wind. Seeing that he was still hugging his pampering maid Qingfen while drinking while enjoying singing and dancing, he shouted angrily: "When is it now? You still have the heart to watch the singing and dancing, you will all go on for me, and you will go on for me too."

Although Ge Fushun suddenly acted as a master, no one dared not to listen to the words of the in-law general, whether it was the singers and dancers, or Qingfen in Wang Maozhong's arms. The singers and dancers hurriedly withdrew with the music troupe, and even Qingfen broke free from the half-drunk Wang Maozhong's arms, and quietly retreated with accusation. Seeing Wang Maozhong looking at him with drunken eyes, Ge Fushun was too lazy to talk too much, so he found a teapot from the side, and regardless of when the tea was cooked inside, he poured the cold cup into Wang Maozhong's mouth.

"Cough, cough cough" Wang Maozhong coughed several times because he was choked, and the feeling that almost made the stomach and intestines frozen into a ball made him extremely angry. He sat up straight and scolded Ge Fushun, "Old Ge, are you going to kill me? You can't wait until I wake up and drink and talk slowly."

"Then it's too late," Ge Fushun sat down in front of Wang Maozhong and said solemnly, "Do you know that the Lingnan Tuya rebelled?"

"I think it's a big deal. Those southern barbarians are not making a fuss for the first time..."

"The rebellion of the local officials is not a big deal, but who is leading the army is a big deal?" Seeing that Wang Maozhong was dissatisfied, Ge Fushun strengthened his tone. "Today, the saint summoned Song Jing, Li Yuan, Du Xian, Wang Jun and Zhang Qiqiu to discuss. The saint belonged to Yang Sixu, but those ministers seemed not very satisfied, so the matter was not settled for the time being."

"Don't the old eunuch slave likes to fight? Just let him go in the Lingnan place." Wang Maozhong scoffed at Yang Sixu's so-called military achievements, picked up the wine cup in front of him and wanted to drink it. When he found that it was cold tea, he put it down impatiently, "Are you running over for this matter?"

"The problem is that the saint changed his mind and planned to let you go."

"What"

At this time, Wang Maozhong was shocked. He stared at Ge Fushun in disbelief. When he was confirmed that the other party was not joking, he felt a sudden slap in his heart. He boasted of bravery, but in fact he did not have much courage. Otherwise, during the Tanglong coup, he would not have lost his links at a critical moment, and almost ruined Li Longji's major event. Fortunately, Princess Taiping made great contributions that time and finally succeeded. He made up for it for a while afterwards. In the end, Li Longji did not forgive him very much. Of course, he made great contributions in the later killing of Princess Taiping and his followers, which led to his honor and favor today.

He is still impressed by the only battle to lead troops to the northwest in recent years. If he hadn't had a good friendship with Zhang Shuo and Zhang Shuo's support and cooperation were quite in place, he would probably have won any results that time. Then there were still some elite soldiers and strong generals in the north. If he went to Lingnan, the miasma was dense and the language was not understood, and the soldiers were weak and there were no generals, how could he go to war?

Therefore, he was already a little annoyed and couldn't help but pound the wooden floor and said angrily: "It must be Gao Lishi Yang Sixu and other eunuchs who are making fun of the ghost."

"I just thought I was anxious, right now, are you anxious? "Ge Fushun shook his head helplessly, and then said thoughtfully, "However, although we are close confidants of saints, we are not as close as those eunuchs, so you might as well be more polite to them, otherwise it will be very easy for them to slander."

"A group of eunuchs who have lost eggs still want to make a big difference? No matter how great Yang Sixu has made, will the saint dare to sign him into Kaifu Yi Tong Sansi? It's just that the courage of ordinary men, even descendants adopted others. What's the point of fear?" Wang Maozhong demoted Yang Sixu to nothing, but after being angry, he had to carefully consider how to avoid this matter. It should be noted that once he went to Lingnan for at least three or five months, he didn't want to waste time in such a remote area. Moreover, the enemy Du Shiyi, the eldest son, is now returning to the court. God knows what happened to him when he left?

At this time, Ge Fushun came up with an idea: "Why don't you recommend Yang Sixu? Since Your Majesty originally agreed to him, your recommendation is considered to be a holy heart."

"If not, I will never recommend the old eunuch slave even if I go to Lingnan by myself."

Wang Maozhong refused the proposal without thinking, but then he felt aroused, and he immediately smiled and said, "Lao Ge, don't worry, I have an idea of ​​this kind of thing, so I have to play hard to get someone, prepare a horse for me, I want to enter the palace with the common name."

Compared to those high-ranking officials who need to be informed at all levels to enter the palace, even the two ladies can pass through Wang Maozhong, who can enter the palace at will, would be much simpler. With a tiger back and a bear waist, he strode into the Zichen Palace, and after pushing a big gift like a golden mountain and a jade pillar in front of the emperor, he crawled and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that the rebels in Lingnan are in chaos. Now that the court has not decided who to conquer, I am willing to volunteer to go."

Just now, Gao Lishi and Yang Sixu revealed such news again. Li Longji was already quite suspicious. The group of people who followed him from the Tanglong coup to the execution of Princess Taiping, now there are few left. Among them, some are too good at conspiracy like Wang Ju, who was afraid that they would have a second thought; some think they are no longer suitable for high positions like Liu Youqiu; some are like Jiang Jiao, who regretted the crime after being punished because of the matter, and some are like Zhang Shuo, who once valued it, but now they are just looking.

In contrast, only Wang Maozhong has been enjoying wealth and glory since the beginning of Kaiyuan. Wang Maozhong is very good at judging the best intentions, and he does have real skills in Muma, so he does not mind letting him become rich for a long time, and it can also make a good story about the relationship between the king and the minister. But now it seems that this person is gradually getting complacent and seeking more.

"I know your loyalty," Li Longji nodded with a smile, but personally reached out to help Wang Maozhong up, and even patted him on the shoulder kindly, "But, every time I don't see you, I will not be happy, let alone the evil land in Lingnan. I really don't want to bear to travel through mountains and rivers to suffer.

Li Longji was so emotional that even though he was acting, Wang Maozhong was still grateful. He almost knocked his head to the ground with a heavy blow, and then said in a choking voice: "Your Majesty is kind, I have no way to repay you to say that Lingnan is poor and bad water. Even if you are swords, fire, I will never dare to refuse."

This is naturally not a problem in daily life, but now Li Longji is already suspicious. Wang Maozhong's performance hit the knife. However, a sharp light flashed in Li Longji's eyes, but he smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I am as loyal as you are with you, and I am worried about what will happen? However, Yang Sixu has been conquering Lingnan for more than once, so let him go, so you don't have to fight for me anymore. Now I am determined to open the border. Are you still worried about not having the opportunity to make achievements on the battlefield?"

Wang Maozhong stopped when he knew he was good, and he would not stick to it at this moment. He kowtowed and agreed. Li Longji then smiled and pulled him to the Liyuan. After that, he was given several cups of play and singing, and his head was even a little dizzy when he left the palace. But even so, he still breathed a long sigh of relief.

Finally, I don't have to worry about being sent to Lingnan to be the rebellious chief general

After leaving the palace, he rode his horse home. Wang Maozhong jumped off the horse's back in front of the door and threw the reins, and drove straight into the carriage with the whip. When he arrived at the room of his second wife, Mrs. Li, who was the wife of Huo Guo, he drove away the maids and maids, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Wurang is not young now, and I intend to tell him a marriage. The daughter of Yang Xuanyan, Sima of Yazhou, is very good. I will send someone to the Yang family to propose marriage tomorrow."

Mrs. Li, the wife of Huo, was almost stunned when she heard this. She was a royal family girl and thought it was natural and thorough. Wang Maozhong was not from a high school after all, so it would be more practical than to encounter the walls of famous families. If you blindly marry among the generals of the Northern Gate Commando, it would only cause the emperor's suspicion. Therefore, the best choice is to choose a innocent daughter from the royal family.

But she never expected that Wang Maozhong would choose a daughter from Sima, Yazhou.

"Wang Lang, is this..." Seeing a hint of displeasure in Wang Maozhong's eyes, she quickly changed her words, "Is this too hasty?"

"There is nothing hasty. The Yang family is a branch of the Hongnong Yang family, and it has not humiliated Goro. This matter is settled."

Seeing Wang Maozhong throwing this sentence away without looking back, Li immediately bit his lips tightly, feeling angry and hatred.

When the news reached the ears of Guo Guo’s Lady Guo, she couldn’t help laughing, and said to Wang Shouzhen, the eldest son who was also smiling beside her, “See, this is a trick. Since your second wife came in, I have not lived a stable day. This time I can finally taste it. What is the taste of sleeping at night? Remember, don’t always cause trouble next time. My mother and your brothers will rely on you.”

"Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."

The mother and son looked at each other and smiled, with countless pride on their faces.
