The servant in embroidered clothes who called himself Qingshan Slave straightened his body and laughed.
Guo Ning is a big man, Qingshan Nu is about the same height as Guo Ning, but his appearance is much more handsome than Guo Ning.
At this time, Guo Ning was sitting in front of him, as if he didn't take his identity as an angel seriously and was just joking... It would be completely disrespectful to treat the emperor's envoys like this at any time and anywhere.
But Qingshan Nu didn't get angry and still looked polite.
He saluted again: "That's right, that's right. The Xuanfu envoy pacified Dingdeng Lai and defeated the Mongolian army. He has made great achievements and is known all over the world. The imperial court is just now giving the Xuanfu envoy an official position. In fact, it is already too late.
...Haha, Haojiao Guo Xuanshi learned that now your title has become Dinghai Jiedushi and Laizhou Observation Envoy, and Shandong East Road Xuanfu Envoy. In addition, your official rank has also been promoted to the Third Division of Yitong! From now on
, Xuanfu Envoy, you are the most important minister of the Jin Dynasty and the number one official in Shandong!"
Having said this, he looked at Guo Ning's face and sighed: "Well, there have been many incidents in the court recently, people are suspicious, and because Prime Minister Shan died of illness, the political system will inevitably be slack. In fact, the emperor has already decided, but this appointment is really coming.
It's too late, but I hope that the envoy Xuanfu will be considerate."
The dignified angel was so polite, so Guo Ning didn't feel rude. He stood up and returned the courtesy, invited him to sit on a big rock in the mountain, and asked Ni Cong to serve him tea.
Guo Ning was in Shandong, and thanks to Du Shisheng's inquiries, he was no stranger to the characters in Zhongdu.
The Qingshan slave in front of me, whose Chinese name is Wanyan Chengli, is a member of the Internal Affairs Bureau. He is a very popular figure in the Daxing Mansion in Zhongdu in recent months.
Before Wanyanxun came to the throne, he had ordered the Yongding Army and the Zhangde Army, and he had quite a team of his own. However, he had previously tried to enter the capital to cooperate with Wanyan Gang, but was raided by Guo Ning, and his family became a prisoner, and many of his trusted subordinates also withered away.
So after he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he vigorously employed close servants and slaves to supervise all officials, and granted the Bureau of Close Attendants great powers.
This Qingshan slave was the son of the commander-in-chief Guishan, the disciple of Pingzhang Bai Sazhi, and a young rookie of the Wanyan family. He was originally a recorder of the Prince's Palace. That day, Guo Ning led his troops into Zhongdu and fought fiercely against Hu Shahu.
, the city was in a commotion, but Qingshan Nu reacted very quickly and ran out of the city to pay homage to Wanyan Xun, who was still in the army. Wanyan Xun was very happy because of this.
Later, the ministers gathered outside Donghua Gate, and when Guo Ning led the ministers to pay homage to the king, Qingshan Nu stood beside the chariot as an attendant.
After Wan Yanxun came to the throne, he immediately used Qingshan slaves as the deputy to stay in Xijing. Quan was close to serve as the director of the bureau. He was promoted to the fifth rank and was given five thousand guan in money.
Since the establishment of the Xijing Province the year before last, Xijing has become the deputy marshal of the left. The left-behind in Xijing has wiped out the loyal territory, and outsiders cannot enter. After the emperor appointed Qingshan Nu as the deputy left-behind in Xijing, in order to explain this appointment, he issued an edict.
To Qingshan Nu, he said blankly: "Although you have been granted this position in the imperial edict, you will stay with me. If you encounter a problem, I will still give your deputy a salary. This is my special favor, so you should know it."
In the months since then, Qingshan Nu's status has become more prestigious and his authority has become more important. He, Wei Bi, Feng Yu Weikang and others have become the new political stars of the inner clan, and are regarded by both the court and the central government.
It is a vicious barking dog at the emperor's feet.
After the death of Tu Shanyi, the power of the Attendant Bureau will definitely expand again. Everyone knows that Qingshan Nu, as the Attendant Bureau, has a bright future.
Not to mention, the positions he successively held as deputy commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the Wuwei Army were only a few steps away from becoming a true official of the imperial court from their fourth-rank official positions.
Guo Ning learned that such a person would come to Shandong. He had discussed it several times with his subordinates before, but could not guess the intention of Zhongdu. Therefore, Guo Ning held the ceremony to welcome the angel in Sanshan Port...
The civil and military officials who greeted the angel before were all close associates of Guo Ning. As for the merchants and fishermen in the port, they didn’t even know who was coming. At this time, Guo Ning didn’t need anyone to counsel beside him, only his own family. meet.
He has always been arbitrary, and his thoughts are even more clear and neat: If the angel knows his identity, let's talk about it. If he doesn't, he will chop him up and throw him into the sea. In his report, he said that it was a shipwreck. Could it be that Zhongdu is still there? Can we investigate the responsibility across the sea and prevent another incident?
As a result, the emperor sent his most trusted lieutenant across the sea and defeated him in the first rank.
So generous.
At this time, Qingshan Nu was still talking enthusiastically. He first talked about the subordinate officials of the Xuanfu Department on Shandong East Road, all of whom were recommended by Guo Ning, and the court naturally approved it. He also mentioned that among those who came with the ship this time, there were some from the first-class Grand Master. The entire set of ceremonial guards, such as rattan sticks, bone sticks, dental sticks, tufts of horses, umbrellas, chairs, water jugs, etc., are all magnificent. They can be brought up now. Please take a look at them.
Guo Ning leaned over and looked down the mountain. Sure enough, he saw that Qingshan Nu's men were moving very quickly and had already moved many boxes and cages to the bottom of the three mountains. Others opened the boxes and cages and began to take out many gold and purple ceremonial guards.
Guo Ning shook his head at Zhao Jue who was accompanying him.
Zhao Jue strode to the side of the cliff and whistled down the mountain.
The attendants who were on guard at the foot of the mountain immediately stepped forward, forced Qingshan Nu's men to one place, and then closed all the boxes and cages.
"Envoy, is there something wrong? It's okay not to look at those things in a hurry..."
This move surprised Qingshan Nu a little, but he still had a smile on his face and said: "By the way, I carry the imperial edict with me. In addition, I also carry the fish charm and tiger charm of the Xuanfu Envoy!"
Qingshan Nu reached into his arms and groped, while Guo Ning shook his head again.
He said calmly: "I don't need those."
"What does the missionary mean?"
"I have dealt with the emperor before he ascended the throne. The emperor should know very well what kind of person I, Guo Ning, am. I probably understand how the emperor sees me."
"The Xuanshi is naturally the arm of the Jin Emperor and the pillar of the imperial court! The emperor often told me that if Guo Xuanshi had not fought fiercely to kill the rebels that day, how could there be..."
Qingshannu hurriedly retorted, and after saying a few words, Guo Ning stared at him with a half-smile.
Both sides were sitting politely, but Qingshannu suddenly felt a huge threat. The hair on the back of his neck stood up faintly, and he felt a chill in his heart. He did not dare to continue talking at that moment.
The field was quiet for a while, then Guo Ning asked: "The Mongols are about to retreat, right?"
Qingshan Nu laughed twice: "Yes. The emperor has decided to negotiate peace with the Mongols. The results will be available within ten days at most. And the main force of the Mongolian army has already begun to cross Juyong Pass and return north."
"I see."
The so-called peace talks are nothing more than a generous donation of money from the Jin Kingdom, and then begging for mercy. In fact, the Mongolian army has been stationed in the Jin Kingdom for more than half a year. Even if the soldiers are fierce, it is inevitable that the veterans will be tired. According to Guo Ning's idea, even if the court fights to the end, the Mongolian army will In all likelihood, we will have to retreat.
But the Zhongdu court was determined to do this, and naturally there was a reason for the court. The reason is not difficult to guess: the earlier the Mongols retreat, the earlier Zhongdu will be able to free up their hands to clean up the situation, thereby deterring those who control the Nanjing Road
Nanjing, which was a prosperous territory, stayed behind. Since Tu Shanyi was dead, the emperor was naturally active in this matter.
However, the imperial court had been fighting with the Mongolian army for several months, and was already in a dilemma. To clean up the situation and win over people's hearts, the only thing they could rely on was famous weapons.
"Besides me, the Shandong East Road Xuanfu envoy, what other appointments does the court have?"
"Well, Haojiao Envoy learned that the imperial court appointed Xu Ding as the Xuanfu envoy to Hedong, Pusan Anzhen as the Xuanfu envoy to Hebei, Pu Xianwannu as the Xuanfu envoy to Liaodong, Wanyan Bi as the Xuanfu envoy to Shaanxi.
The Fu envoy Wugu talked about celebrating his birthday, the Jinshan Xuan Fu envoy Zhang Rou, and..." Qingshan Nu reported a few more names that Guo Ning was not familiar with: "There are ten Xuan Fu envoys in total!"
From the top officials of the first rank, one can take part in political affairs half a step forward. Ten people of the same rank as the prime minister were appointed at one go.
The emperor is really happy.
However, why do I feel that the emperor of Dai Jin is similar to Yang An'er, both relying on empty promises to deceive people.
Guo Ning leaned back and leaned comfortably against the curve of the stone. He lowered his eyes and glanced at Qingshan Nu: "The emperor gave me the title of Xuan Fu Shi. What do you want me to do?"
Qingshan Nu leaned forward and said: "The emperor hopes that Shandong will be peaceful and safe."
"This is interesting. Now that Yang An'er has rebelled and swept through Shandong, how can there be peace? The red coat army has hundreds of thousands of troops. Even if I have the intention, I can't quell it for a while."
Qingshan Nu lowered his voice: "No, no, Guo Xuanshi... the emperor means that Shandong is peaceful and peaceful now. So, Xuanshi, you don't have to do anything."
