In their hearts, they all have a burning desire to serve the country as a military minister.

Now, the opportunity fell from the sky.

The emperor's servant starts!

If it were to be released outside, it would be at least the rank of Ambassador!

Moreover, as a close servant of the emperor, no civil servants and officials dared to suppress or humiliate him casually.

Brother Zhong Jianzhong bowed twice in the direction of Funing Hall. After thanking him, he stood up.

Then Zhong Jianzhong asked: "Why would the officials show favor to my brother?"

Guo Zhongxiao recalled the details of the imperial court and shook his head: "The heart of heaven is sacred, and the ministers dare not spy on it!"

Zhong Jian was stunned.

Doesn’t even Guo Zhongxiao know?

"What did the officials say?" he asked.

Guo Zhongxiao did not hide anything, and briefly explained what happened in front of the emperor today.

Zhong Jianzhong, brother of Zhong Master, naturally thanked Guo Zhongxiao immediately and bowed before him: "Thank you Li Zhi for your kind words..."

This is a great favor!

These few words from Yu Qian may even have a better effect on the Zhong family than a great victory.

As military ministers, brothers Zhong Jianzhong certainly know this.

Whether the emperor knows the name of a military official or not, those are two different kinds of treatment.

Guo Zhongxiao shook his head: "How can such a person be so proud?"

Although I served the current one, it only lasted less than a month.

But Guo Zhongxiao almost noticed something from his daily behavior.

Even though His Majesty is young, he is a born monarch.

How to treat people and treat others is so mature and terrifying!

What's even more frightening is that in terms of hiring people - so far, he has not missed anyone!

Kumamoto on Jingdong Road has been dormant for several years, suppressed and squeezed out by the old and new parties.

As soon as he was appointed as the transfer envoy of Jingdong Road, within a few months, he had already made outstanding achievements. Those officials and merchants who came to the capital from Jingdong Road all said: Xiong Botong is also an official!

This is a rare evaluation!

Let alone Shen Kuo.

A bold method of smelting copper has already proven his ability!

The sand table and movable type are also amazing.

Although, Shen Kuo was a talent left behind by the late emperor.

It is extraordinary to be able to use it, to be willing to use it, and to give it trust.

In addition, no matter whether the ministers of the new party or the ministers of the old party were interviewed, there was no one who did not praise him.

At the same time, he could also allow the ministers of the new party and the old party to maintain superficial harmony in the capital.

This is something that surprises both China and foreign countries.

This is something that the late Emperor failed to accomplish even after spending countless efforts.

Not to mention, he has already established his authority.

The demotion of Li Ding, the killing of Zhang Zhijian, and the inexplicable disappearance of the emperor were all known to Zhang Maoze.

Of these three people, one was a civil servant, one was a military officer, and one was a minister.

Especially Zhang Maoze, who survived four dynasties and then disappeared inexplicably.

No one in the palace even dared to mention that name.

This shows how deep the water is inside!

Therefore, Guo Zhongxiao looked at Zhong Jianzhong and said: "I won't hide anything from Uncle Yi..."

He lowered his voice and risked reminding this close friend from his family: "The selection of Uncle Yi Kunzhong this time... I am afraid it is the result of the weighing of the Holy Heart..."

"Uncle Zhong, I'm afraid it will be activated!"

"Maybe even a big deal!"

This is the result of Guo Zhongxiao's own guess.

It is also in line with the Guo family's "official speculation technique".

The Zhao officials have been like this throughout the ages.

Before you want to use someone, you should first show favor to his son or nephew.

Now, Zhongyi and Zhongpu are on Xihe Road, Gao Gonghui and Xiang Zonghui are also there.

The Western Thieves did not send envoys to the DPRK on the first day of this year.

The governors of the capital are all requesting that the defenses along the Xihe River be strengthened.

At this time, the officials wooed the Zhong family and promoted Zhong Jianzhong brothers to encourage Zhong friendship, and Zhong Pu worked hard for the old Zhao family.

This is a normal option.

What's abnormal is just the official.

Zhong Jianzhong listened, but didn't quite believe it.

Because he is a member of the Chong family, he knows the suspicion and suppression that the Chong family suffered during the last two years of the late emperor's reign.

What's more, the stars on Xihe Road will shine brightly!

Wang Wenyu alone is enough to shock the northwest.

His fourth uncle could not compare to Wang Wenyu in terms of military exploits or seniority.

Moreover, the one who is in charge of Xihe now is Zhao Xi!

He was a civil servant and a veteran general who was experienced in military matters.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like the Zhao Guan family is favoring their brothers in order to win over their family.

But, except for this reason.

Brother Zhong Jianzhong couldn't think of any other reason.

Is it possible that we are still today, knowing that although their brothers gave up martial arts and became civilized under the instructions of their families, they actually still have a heart to kill the enemy and serve the country?

…

Funing Hall.

Just as Zhao Xu was getting ready to go to bed, Guo Zhongxiao had already returned.

"What did Brother Zhong Jianzhong say?"

"Kunzhong of the Zhong family cried bitterly when he heard His Majesty's kindness. He faced the Funing Hall and bowed his head again and again, vowing: The officials and brothers have nothing to repay for the kindness they have received from me, but they can only be loyal to the end!" Guo Zhongxiao bowed and answered.

"Good!" Zhao Xu nodded: "The Zhong family is worthy of my great Song Zhongliang!"

"By the way..." Zhao Xu suddenly looked at Guo Zhongxiao and asked, "How is your father doing now?"

Guo Zhongxiao quickly replied: "I want to inform your Majesty that my father is living in Luoyang, enjoying his old age, leisurely enjoying the mountains and rivers, often facing Tokyo and kowtow to thank the late emperor and your majesty for their kindness..."

Zhao Xu smiled.

During Guo Kui's southern expedition, he was impeached and criticized by the government and the public because he did not destroy Jiaozhi and withdrew his troops without permission. As a result, he was deprived of military power and was even placed under administrative control for a time.

After Zhao Xu came to the throne, he returned to power, but he was still the idle general Zuo Wuwei.

"I would like to say hello to you!" Zhao Xu said with unclear meaning.

Guo Zhongxiao swallowed and lowered his head deeply.

"Your father, Mr. Guo, has meritorious service!"

Guo Zhongxiao's head lowered even lower.

"I and Huang Kao will always remember it!"

"In the past, my dear father, I survived with more than 100,000 wounded soldiers in one body!"

"I have been wronged over the years!"

"I don't dare..." Guo Zhongxiao quickly expressed his position: "My father teaches me and his children day and night..."

"The Guo family is a minister of the emperor and a general of the official family..."

"Good!" Zhao Xu smiled: "A true loyal minister and good general!"

Then he sent Guo Zhongxiao away.
