When Pei Yue and Gu Liang arrived at Mo Mansion, the street in front of the mansion was already crowded with people and the sedans and horses were overcrowded.

Most of the people in the crowd were civil servants from the upper class, and there were also some nobles with military honors, which showed Mo Haoli's status in the court. This veteran of the four dynasties took one step at a time, and it seemed that there was no amazing move, but he had never committed a major crime in decades.

Yes, his sophistication in dealing with things is amazing. He has already formed his own wings in the court. Five of the six ministers alone are his favorite disciples, and he has mentored and helped countless officials.

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

On the long street, everyone, regardless of their status or factional affiliation, had worried faces and knitted brows at this moment.

"Even His Majesty came here in person. Master Mo's situation is very worrying."

"Well, sir, he is old and has been too busy with state affairs recently. He must be just tired."

"Now is the time when the country is developing its grand ambitions. If Master Mo cannot return to the court, I am afraid it will have a great impact on the defeat of Zhou."

"There has been no stability in the court in recent years. One wave after another. The boss is almost 70 years old. How can he hold on? In my opinion, ever since that man started to gain momentum——"

"Silence."

…

Some people were concerned about Mo Haoli's physical condition, some were worried about their future, some were worried about the already-certain task of conquering Zhou, and so on.

There are also people who attributed the turmoil in the court in recent years to Pei Yue's rise, but when Pei Yue and Gu Liang appeared on the streets, these voices disappeared without a trace.

The officials and nobles on the street in front of the mansion all came to visit Mo Haoli, but now Emperor Kaiping is in the mansion, and the palace guards have surrounded the entire Mo mansion airtight, and most people are not qualified to enter.

.However, when Pei Yue and Gu Liang came to the front door, a middle-aged man in his forties took the initiative to greet them.

This man's name is Mo Xiuting, he is the eldest son of Mo Haoli, and he is the minister of Honglu Temple.

"I have met the Marquis of Guangping and the Marquis of Zhongshan." Mo Xiuting looked gloomy, but his etiquette was not bad at all.

Gu Liang nodded slightly and said sincerely: "The ruling lord occasionally gets cold, and you only need to take a good rest for a few days. Don't worry, Da Honglu."

Mo Xiuting's eyes were filled with gratitude, and he turned sideways and said, "I would also like to invite the two princes to come into the house and sit down for a while."

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

Mo Xiuting nodded and said, "Your Majesty is talking to my father."

The three of them walked in together, and all the people on the street in front of the house couldn't help but have complicated thoughts watching this scene.

Naturally, no one would have any doubts about Gu Liang's ability to enter. After all, this man, as a concubine, had climbed up step by step in such a difficult situation with his military exploits. There is no need to elaborate on the hardships involved. Maybe some people don't like Gu Liang's temperament, but there is no such thing.

People don't recognize his qualifications.

But when they looked at Pei Yue's back, some were envious, and some were secretly jealous.

Pei Yue didn't care about those glances. After all, he had been accustomed to this kind of scrutiny since four years ago. At the moment, all he could think about was Mo Haoli's illness and the consequences, not even the pattern of Mo Mansion.

Care too much.

As the de facto prime minister of Daliang, Mo Haoli was rewarded with a large house comparable to the size of a marquis' mansion ten years ago. Although this house is not decorated with pearls, jade, gold and stone, it is distinguished by its elegant and quiet environment and deep green mist in the courtyard.

Like fog.

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

There are three adult princes here, as well as Duke Pingzhang of Wei, Luo Ting, the right governor, Huang Rentai, the imperial censor, Han Gongduan, the Hanlin scholar, Guo Kaishan, the governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Office, and six ministers. They can be said to be important figures in the Daliang court. fall.

Pei Yue couldn't help feeling deeply worried when he saw this.

This old man seems to be seriously ill.

…

In the bedroom in the main courtyard behind the main hall, the hearth is burning with refreshing fragrance, and the sun shines on the window lattice.

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

He is sixty-seven years old, which is indeed very old.

There wasn't much flesh on the furrowed face, and his slightly opened eyes had a chaotic look. His beard and hair had already turned gray and were barely pulled into a bun.

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

There was another person in the room, Zuo Lingchen from Taishitai Pavilion, Momo Yun.

"Jun Xinggong, I have brought the imperial doctors, so I will let them stay in the mansion temporarily and make sure to cure your illness. Daliang cannot do without you, and I cannot do without your 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, I am 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 no matter medicines, stones or supplements, they can use them at will. The palace warehouse can be opened at any time. Now that the world is uncertain and the good and bad in the country are mixed, I need the help of Jun Xinggong."

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 your Majesty can also let Han Gongtuan enter the East Mansion to participate in politics in advance. These two people will cooperate with each other to restrict it. There will definitely be no chaos in the court. As for the army, that is not a place that I can manage. I believe that your Majesty has already made arrangements."

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

Mo Haoli looked at the emperor with his dim old eyes, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Luo Jiyu and Han Gong are in their prime, so they cannot be regarded as young ministers. After the world is peaceful, it will be the time for these young and powerful people to show their talents. Of course, the old minister cannot continue to stand in front of them. However, when it comes to youth, no one can compare to the Marquis of Zhongshan."

Emperor Kaiping was slightly startled, then shook his head and said: "Pei Yue still needs more experience. Although he seems to be more mature than his peers at the moment, his actions are often too radical."

Mo Haoli coughed a few times, and then said with a complicated expression: "Your Majesty, I have a childish idea. I wanted to find a time to talk to Your Majesty. Now it seems that it is better to talk to him as soon as possible, otherwise there may be no chance."

Emperor Kaiping said: "Please speak."

Mo Haoli glanced at Silent Cloud, who seemed to have no sense of existence next to him, and then said sincerely: "Your Majesty, for a minister like Pei Yue, there is no need to knock frequently. As long as he can do five words, he will definitely know how to do it. Being loyal and loyal has become His Majesty's weapon to bring peace to the world."

Emperor Kaiping was moved in his heart and asked: "How?"

"The king and his ministers have no doubts."

After Mo Haoli said these words, he seemed to feel relieved.

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