Chapter 676: Life and Death (Part 2)

Guo Ning returned to the inner house and waited on the eaves of the door. It turned out that Mrs. Wen was inside and said that the delivery room was polluted with filthy smell and was not suitable for noble people to enter.

Guo Ning was not used to this kind of words. He smiled and waved his hand, then pushed away the servants and women who were blocking his way, and strode into the house.

It is true that the smell still lingers in the room, but the windows are open on both sides, and fresh air is constantly flowing in. There are screens in front and behind the windows, and there is a heater under the screen, so it is very warm.

Guo Ning saw Lu Han lying on the bed, covered with a thick quilt, her hair was messy and soaked. There were beads of sweat on her forehead, the side of her nose, and her chin. A servant woman was setting up water beside the bed.

Then use a clean towel dipped in hot water and slowly dry her hair.

Seeing Guo Ning approaching, Lu Han pursed his lips and said weakly: "What are you doing here?"

Guo Ning sat by the bed, took a towel and wiped his hands, then took Lu Han's hand and said softly: "I feel very sad thinking about A Han's suffering for me. Come in now,

It’s too late.”

Lu Han smiled and held Guo Ning's hand a little tighter. Perhaps because she was almost exhausted mentally and physically, she felt a little dazed and stopped talking.

After a while, she woke up again: "Child, have you seen it?"

Guo Ning had been sitting next to Lu Han. Hearing Lu Han's question, he looked around and asked, "Not yet... where is the child?"

Lu Han looked confused, and the servant girl who was cleaning up next to him couldn't help but laugh.

It turned out that the child had been washed and wrapped, and was placed next to Lu Han, wrapped in her arms. Because the folded quilt covered half of his face, Guo Ning didn't even notice it.

Guo Ning held the child in his arms and looked at it slowly.

Lu Han looked at his husband and children and said softly: "It's a bit small, all the features on the face are pinched, and it's a bit ugly."

"It's not ugly, it's not ugly, it'll be fine if it grows longer." Guo Ning couldn't stop looking at it.

Lu Han smiled and said, "Guess what I did when he was just born?"

"How can I guess it? Tell me."

Lu Han said with some pride: "I picked him up, counted my fingers, and then my toes. They were so thin that I couldn't see them clearly. Only after I counted them did I realize that they were all ten!"

"This is no small matter. You really need to count it before you feel at ease." Guo Ning nodded repeatedly.

The two chatted for a few more words, and Ni Yi reported from outside: "Marshal, Xu Jin urgently asks for an audience."

Guo Ning smiled: "Ask him to wait a moment."

Turning back to talk to his wife, she saw Lu Han's tired face suddenly became a little alert. She immediately raised her hand to take the child: "Xu Jin is not an ignorant person, and will not disturb him at this time."

...He is indeed in a hurry, right? You go!"

Guo Ning felt a little guilty, but the woman in front of him was Guo Ning's wife and his partner since childhood. He knew that Lu Han was soft on the outside but strong on the inside, smart and decisive, and was by no means an ordinary woman.

"Don't worry, it's not an emergency. I have already made arrangements."

Guo Ning pressed Lu Han's shoulder, stood up and said, "Our child is blessed. On the day he is born, I will clean Zhongdu City and make it clean!"

Guo Ning strode out, and Xu Jin immediately greeted him.

"how to say?"

Guo Ning kept walking and asked as he walked outside.

"We have not officially announced the news that the marshal has a son. But now, most of the people in the central capital know the news. I guess it won't be like this if the colleagues who went back to prepare gifts spread the word on the road.

Quick method, so it must be a traitor among the servants in the mansion."

"Have you found out?"

"The people around Madam are all old people from the Xijunhe camp, so there is no problem. It was found that four of them took the opportunity to send messages to the outside world. We are asking who is behind it."

"How will the situation in Zhongdu be after this news spreads?"

"The marshal defeated Mongolia, restored order in the capital, and gave everyone food to eat, so he was deeply supported. After knowing the news, many people ignored the curfew and came out to celebrate. There were also merchants at various city gates, distributing wine and snacks.

He even distributes money for good luck and wishes for blessings."

"I, Mr. Guo, have only been stationed in Zhongdu for half a year, and I have only given the people a few good meals. Why do I have to support him so much? That's because money can help me, but I don't know how they can stop me.

"

"At the same time, there were no less than a dozen groups of people who came out to distribute money. According to rough reports previously, most of them were given thirty cents per person. At Tongxuan Gate and Xuanyao Gate, there were also fifty cents per person."

"I am afraid that tens of thousands of people will not be able to gather together at this time. Each person has fifty coins, which is a huge investment."

Guo Ning spat casually, and without stopping, continued to ask: "On your end, you should send people to patrol as usual, there are no flaws, right?"

Xu Yan said: "On my side, people from the Recording Department and the Inspection Department are being sent abroad. There are some available people from the Zhongdu Police Inspection Agency, and they are all being used one after another. After all, most of them are ordinary people, and we don't dare to

Stop it by force."

"At most, in a moment, someone will cause trouble in the gathering crowd, and it is very likely that someone will die. At that time, you have to move faster and don't worry too much."

"yes."

"In addition, arsenals, grain depots, money depots and other places will cause trouble sooner or later."

Guo Ning said to Ni Yiyi: "Tell Dong Jin that when it comes to dispatching people from the Marshal's Mansion to quell the chaos, just follow the rules and don't hesitate. If we want to catch big fish, we have to be willing to give bait."

"yes."

Guo Ning walked straight to the arsenal on the edge of the school grounds. In the arsenal, hundreds of personal guards had already put on their helmets and armor. These were smart and brave men drawn from the entire army. At this time, they had already anticipated what Guo Ning was going to do.

Without exception, everyone's eyes were eager, making the weapons in their hands shine with a particularly cold light.

Several personal guards came up and began to put on Guo Ning's armor.

The turban is tied tightly, the military robe is gathered up, the green velvet armor is neatly draped, the iron pocket is worn upright, and the necklace is ringed. Guo Ning spreads his arms, and the layers of fine steel armor collide with each other, as if a dragon is stretched out, making a crisp sound.

"correct……"

Guo Ning remembered something: "Pack up a few quiet rooms in the commander's mansion and keep them far away from each other. I guess after a while, someone who feels bad will come to show off... These people might as well give them a way to survive.

But we also need to scare them so that they can’t easily connect with each other.”

"I'll do it immediately." Ni turned around and went out.

Holding Tieguduo in his hand, Guo Ning stamped his feet, felt the tightness of the silk ribbons tied around his body, and nodded with satisfaction.

"It is not unreasonable for the Jurchens to be reduced to this state. Pusan ​​Anzhen is already famous, and Pusanduan was pushed out to die. A truly smart person will definitely understand the situation in front of him, and he will be right

For the Jurchens, the situation that has not changed is the best situation. As long as the Jurchens' high-ranking officials and nobles are still in office and the Jurchens' emperor is still in the palace, things on the table will not be excessive. As time goes by

As time goes by, they can slowly find ways to make a way for themselves."

"It's a pity that there are too many fools among the Jurchens." Xu Jin said with a smile.

"Yes, there are too many idiots. They didn't expect that those who particularly hope that the situation will change are not the Jurchens, but a certain group of Han officials in Zhongdu City."

Xu Wei nodded: "These officials have no loyalty to the Jin Dynasty, but they are extremely unhappy to see the marshal promoting education and talents in the army. They also continue to promote subordinate staff and officials from the army, and enrich them to the Marshal's Mansion and the Privy Council.

.Because of the simple style of the Marshal's Office and the Privy Council, there is never any need for people to be splendid. And this trend gradually affects the court, which means that in the future we will take away things that are originally in their hands.

."

Guo Ning's face was as dark as water, and he continued: "So they very much hope that I will do something as soon as possible, such as further controlling the central government, and then completely breaking with Daikin, and assuming the posture of changing the dynasty. Because, when I want to change the dynasty in a short time

, relevant edicts, documents, etiquette, systems, and even countless trivial details are ultimately inseparable from this specific group of people. My new dynasty must absorb and refer to this group of people, so many things will slowly have to be according to their instructions.

If you think about it, many trends will slowly be led astray by them..."

At this point, Guo Ning's words did not waver, and he only said calmly: "The Jurchens are really stupid...but these people are not very smart either."

Guo Ning opened his mouth and said something like the New Dynasty. He had no scruples, but Xu Jin couldn't answer casually when surrounded by attendants. At that moment, he bowed slightly: "Although the Jurchens are stupid, they still have some leverage. Marshal, please be careful.

."

"By virtue of?"

"We are in the Marshal's Mansion, surrounded by so many loyal soldiers. It is ridiculous for the Jurchens to think that they can defeat us with those shabby soldiers. I guess they will always come up with something.

These skills of keeping things under control can pose a bit of a threat to us."
