From Gao Pragmatic's point of view, Annan's palace is basically a miniature version of the Forbidden City. It is definitely far less grand than the original one, but there are one or two things that are barely noticeable in terms of refinement, especially the wood.
, not only the wood is high-grade, but also the wood carving craftsmanship is quite exquisite.
Of course, Gao Pragmatic is not here for "archaeology", and he doesn't pay much attention to these. Otherwise, just because this palace uses countless dragon shapes "in violation of the regulations", all the heads of the Mo family can be packed and sent to Yanjing.
Whether it is the illegal use of the dragon shape or the arrogance of the architectural pattern, Gao Jingshi, the Sixth No. 1 Scholar who compiled the "Da Ming Huidian", can certainly see countless things at a glance. Of course, the ministers of the Mo clan also know it very well, so
Everyone is cautious, afraid of using these things to talk about matters from a high position.
However, it was obvious that Gao Yuntai was not very interested in this, or did not want to pursue it for the time being. He just asked about Mo's southern expedition along the way, especially how Ningping was defeated.
In order to show their importance, the monarchs and ministers of Mo Dynasty would naturally not admit that their own army could not defeat Li Ni's army, and all speculated that it was Mo Dun who underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, which led to the defeat of Ninh Binh.
Gao Pragmatic was noncommittal at first, and after they pinned all kinds of crimes on Mo Dunrang, he said calmly: "Since this person has made such a big mistake, why are you still leading the army?
Doesn’t the Annan Dutong Division have any rules about rewarding merit and punishing merit?”
"This..." Annan officials were a little embarrassed, hesitating and unable to give any reason. Of course they didn't know the reason, but the problem is how to say it? It is said that our commander-in-chief can secure our current position by relying on it.
This seventh grandfather?
In the end, Mo Maoqia answered and said: "I don't know what to think, but...well, Mo Dunrang has made great contributions to Annan. If he is dismissed from office just because of this defeat, it will make people think that he is a subordinate."
Cold and unkind."
"Well, that's it." Gao Pragmatic still looked impeccable and said calmly: "Well, let's do this. This reputation of being cold and unkind has been shouldered by you. You don't have to do it difficult...Mo
What is Don Rang’s current position?”
Mo Maoqia was shocked when he heard this. What does this mean?
Seeing that he was so shocked that he couldn't even speak, Gao pragmatic thought that this position must have been "overstepped" again, so he simply said directly: "Forget it, no matter what position it is, in short, I will be exempted from all the duties. I won't cut it for the time being."
Sir, please immediately return to the throne and explain the truth of the Ninh Binh battle to your face like this."
Mo Maoqia finally came to his senses. Cold sweat broke out on his back, and he hurriedly said: "You can't do anything if you press the stage! It doesn't matter if Mo Dunjang comes back, but once he leaves, who will command the 30,000 troops in Henan? Now Zheng Ni's army says
Maybe they will hit Henan already..."
"It doesn't matter, just let Mo Yulin go there with your order." Gao Pragmatic turned his head and glanced at Mo Yulin, beckoned him to come forward, and then said: "Mo Yulin, are you going to Henan to replace Mo Dunrang?
What difficulty?"
Mo Yulin was really happy and surprised when he heard this.
Fortunately, after he gave up the 25,000 troops that had been owned by his family since the time of his father, Duke Ruan Jing of Xijun, Gao Antai seemed to be planning to replenish himself with the approximately 30,000 men in Mo Dunrang's hands. This...
...It seems that there is no loss, and I am particularly happy when I lose first and then gain.
What was surprising was that Mo Dunrang was the auxiliary king. The army in his hands originally belonged to the direct lineage of the royal family and was the "Central Army". It was originally in the hands of King Qian Mo Jingdian. In a sense, this
It is the fundamental force of the Mo family. But now Gao Yintai will take away this power and put it into his own hands.
Of course this power is very important, but if he just takes it over, Mo will hate himself to death. What if Gao Antai takes the Heavenly Soldiers away with him in the future? What will he do if he hands over the power?
; If you don’t pay, that’s rebellion...
It doesn't matter to be rebellious, but Daming's father is sometimes not clear-headed, and he is very unhappy about rebellion. He always wants to "rise and fall". If he is forced to rebel by the Mo family, and Daming comes to beat him, then
Wouldn't he become a rat in the bellows - suffering from both ends?
But thinking about it, he didn't have the guts to refuse Gao Pragmatic's kindness now.
"Well, I'm a low-ranking official with little talent and little virtue. If I were to take charge of the Central Army in the Southern Expedition, I'd be afraid that my virtue wouldn't match the position..."
"Are you afraid that the Southern Expeditionary Army will not listen to your orders, or are you afraid that Mo Dunrang will not accept the order?" Gao Pingshi glanced at him indifferently, then looked around at Mo Chao's ministers, and suddenly said: "That's fine, since
If you don’t want to go, then it’s a bit harder and you can just go and have a walk by yourself.”
Mo Maoqia hurriedly said: "How dare you work hard for such a small matter... Mo Yulin, go and exchange Mo Dunrang back. In addition, you must guard Henan and make no mistakes."
Mo Yulin was ecstatic in his heart, but his face still looked helpless. He bowed and said, "Yes, Mo Yulin takes the order."
Gao pragmatic added: "With you in charge of Henan's defense, I can rest assured. However, given that Li and Zheng are against the trend, I don't force you to defend Henan... Let's do this. You can ensure that Henan is not lost for ten days.
Ten days later, I will personally lead an army to have a showdown with Zheng Ni."
Mo Yulin thought to himself: If we can really defend Henan, there is no guarantee, but if it is only ten days, this should not be a big problem.
So he cupped his hands and said, "I will definitely live up to my official position."
Gao pragmatic nodded and said with great satisfaction: "Okay, you do a good job, and I will see any merit you get." Then, regardless of everyone's reaction, he turned around and asked Mo Maoqian:
"Mo Dutong, the Central Army of the Southern Expedition has lost more than half of its troops. We should still prepare military supplies according to the original strength, right?"
Mo Maoqia was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes...it's too late to adjust."
Gao pragmatic said happily: "That's good, no need to adjust."
"No need to adjust?" Mo Maoqia was stunned for a moment: "But the strength of the Southern Expeditionary Army has been reduced by half."
Gao pragmatic smiled and said: "Oh, that doesn't matter. This part of military supplies - including military pay, equipment, armor, etc., can be directly transferred to the wolf soldiers under my command... You know, after all, the imperial court is here
I'm here to help you. Although I'm kind-hearted, I don't have to pay for the servants under my command - I guess you can't afford it. However, if the needs of these wolf soldiers are all transferred from Guangxi, it would be uneconomical.
, it’s not convenient either, so I’ll leave it to you, Annan Capital Commander, to take charge of it, um... do you have any objections?”
I have such a big fucking opinion!
You actually have the nerve to say you are kind?
When Zhang Fu came to fight, Ming Dynasty paid for it himself. Now you...you want me to pay for your troops?!
But, but, but, Mo Maoqia really didn’t dare to say that he had any objections!
"Your Majesty... I have no objection."
"Okay, okay, Mo Dutong understands the general situation like this. I am very pleased, very pleased." Gao Pragmatic had a friendly smile on his face, but it was a pity that it was shown to a blind man. Fortunately, his gentle words could still be conveyed word by word.
In Mo Maoqia's ears: "When the thieves' nest is leveled and the southern border is conquered, I will definitely narrate Mo Dutong's achievements in detail in the victory report. At that time, if the emperor is happy, God's grace may be great.
Maybe Annan's royal title will be restored...don't you think so, Mo Dutong?"
Mo Maoqia's little heart beat a few times unsatisfactorily.
Restore King Annan!
If this thing comes to pass, I, Mo Maoqia, will become far-sighted and bear the burden of humiliation today!
Compared with restoring the king's account, what's the point of paying a small amount of money?
As long as I can restore the title of King Annan, let alone money, I can do it even if I kneel down and kowtow to you pragmatically in front of hundreds of civil and military officials!
