Invincible son

Chapter 640 Chapter 639

When Pei Yue and Gu Liang came to Mo Mansion, the street in front of the mansion was already full of people, and the sedan chairs and horses were overcrowded.

Most of the crowd were civil servants of the Qing Dynasty, and there were also some relatives with military honors, which showed Mo Haoli's status in the court.The veteran of the four dynasties took one step at a time, and seemed to have no amazing moves, but he has never made a big mistake for decades, and his sophistication is impressive enough.He has already formed his own wings in the court. Among the six ministers alone, five of them are his favorite students, and countless officials have been supported and helped.

Now that Mo Haoli is seriously ill, the news naturally caused shock in Kyoto.

On the long street, everyone, regardless of their status or faction affiliation, was frowning with worry on their faces.

"Even His Majesty has come in person. The situation of Lord Mo is worrying."

"Sigh, Mr. is old, and he has been too busy with state affairs recently, so he must be just tired."

"Now is the time when the country is developing its grand plans. If Mr. Mo can't return to the court, I'm afraid it will have a great impact on Fa Zhou's affairs."

"In recent years, there has been no stability in the court, one wave after another, the old man is nearly seventy years old, how can he hold on? In my opinion, since that person has risen—"

"Silence."

……

Some people are concerned about Mo Haoli's physical condition, some are anxious about their own future, some are worried about the certainty of the great cause of defeating Zhou, and so on.

Some people blamed the rise of Pei Yue for the turmoil in the court in recent years, but when Pei Yue and Gu Liang appeared on the street, these voices disappeared without a trace.

All the officials and nobles on Fuqian Street came to visit Mo Haoli, but now Emperor Kaiping is in the mansion, and the imperial guards in the palace have surrounded the whole Mo Mansion tightly, most of them are not qualified to enter .But when Pei Yue and Gu Liang came to the front steps, a middle-aged man in his 40s greeted him proactively.

This person's name is Mo Xiuting, he is the eldest son of Mo Haoli, and he is the official residence of Honglu Temple.

"I have seen the Marquis of Guangping and the Marquis of Zhongshan." Mo Xiuting's expression was gloomy, but his manners were not bad at all.

Gu Liang nodded slightly, and said earnestly: "My lord in power is caught cold by chance, all he needs to do is to recuperate for a few days, Da Honglu doesn't have to worry."

Mo Xiuting's eyes glowed with gratitude, and he turned sideways and said, "Please invite the two Lords to come in and sit down for a while."

Gu Liang said: "Your Majesty is in the residence?"

Mo Xiuting nodded in response, "Your Majesty is talking to my father."

The three of them entered together, and all the people on Fuqian Street couldn't help but have complicated thoughts watching this scene.

No one would have any doubts about Gu Liang being able to go in. After all, as a bastard, he climbed up step by step with his military exploits in such a difficult situation back then.Maybe some people don't like Gu Liang's temperament, but no one doesn't recognize his qualifications.

It's just that when they looked at Pei Yue's back, some admired him, and some secretly hated him.

Pei Yue didn't care about those gazes, after all, he had been used to this kind of scrutiny since four years ago.At this moment, all he could think about was Mo Haoli's illness and the resulting impact, and he didn't even pay much attention to the structure of Mo Mansion.

As the Prime Minister of Daliang in the actual sense, Mo Haoli was rewarded with a mansion with specifications comparable to the Hou's Mansion as early as ten years ago.Although this house is not decorated with jewels, jade and gold stones, it is better than the elegant and quiet environment, and the courtyard is deep and green like mist.

Mo Xiuting led the two of them to the side hall of the main hall, and after Pei Yue walked in, he saw more than ten people.

The three adult princes are all present, and there are also Wang Pingzhang, the Duke of Wei, Luo Ting, the ruler of the right, Huang Rentai, the royal historian, Han Gongduan, the Hanlin scholar, Guo Kaishan, the governor of the five armies, and the six ministers. fall.

Seeing this, Pei Yue couldn't help feeling deeply worried.

The old man seemed to be seriously ill.

……

In the bedroom of the main courtyard behind the main hall, the heart-warming fragrance was burning in the cauldron, and the sunlight shone on the window lattice.

Mo Haoli was lying on the bed, covered with a brocade quilt, covering his thin and thin body.

He is 67 years old this year, which is really old.

There is not much flesh on the ravine-grown face, and the slightly opened eyes are full of chaos. The beard and hair have already turned gray, and they are barely tied into a bun.

There was a grand master's chair beside the bed. Emperor Kaiping sat upright, with his upper body leaning forward slightly.

There was another person in the room, Zuo Lingchen Mo Yun of Taishitai Pavilion.

"Jun Xinggong, I have brought the imperial physicians, let them live in the mansion temporarily, and must cure your illness. Daliang cannot do without you, and I cannot live without your Prime Minister." Emperor Kaiping showed an extremely rare and sincere expression look.

Mo Haoli opened his mouth, smiled silently, and then said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this old minister is not sick, it's just that the time has come."

Even so, his expression was very calm.

Emperor Kaiping shook his head and said: "I have already said that regardless of the medicine stone tonic, let them take it at will, and the warehouse in the palace can be opened at any time. Now the world is uncertain, and the good and the bad are mixed in the court. I need the help of the Lord."

Mo Haoli remained silent.

After a long time, he sighed softly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. How can a few young people stop the general trend of the world? The government can be handed over to Luo Jiyu, and His Majesty can also let Han Gongduan enter the Eastern Mansion to participate in politics earlier. With the cooperation and restraint of these two people, There will be no chaos in the court. As for the army, it is not a place that veterans can manage, I believe His Majesty has already made arrangements."

Emperor Kaiping said slowly: "They are still very young."

Mo Haoli looked at the emperor with those dim old eyes, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Luo Jiyu and Han Gongduan are not young officials after their new years. After the world is settled, it is the time for these young men to show their strength. Of course, veterans can't continue to stand in front of them. However, when it comes to youth, no one can compare to Zhongshanhou."

Emperor Kaiping was startled for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Pei Yue still needs a lot of experience. Although he is more mature than his peers, he often acts too aggressively."

Mo Haoli coughed a few times, and then said with a complicated expression: "Your Majesty, this old minister has a naive idea. I wanted to find a time to talk to Your Majesty, but now it seems that I should talk about it as soon as possible, otherwise I might not have a chance."

Emperor Kaiping said: "Please tell me."

Mo Haoli glanced at the silent cloud beside him who seemed to have no sense of existence, and then said earnestly: "Your Majesty, for a courtier like Pei Yue, there is actually no need to beat frequently. As long as he can do five words, he will definitely Loyalty has become a sharp weapon for His Majesty to level the world."

Emperor Kaiping's heart moved, and he asked, "How?"

"Monarchs and ministers don't believe it."

After Mo Haoli said these words, he seemed to let go of a stone in his heart.

Emperor Kaiping looked at the aging state on the old man's face, and finally nodded.
