I'll be a nanny for the lord

Chapter 852 Battle at the Northwest Frontier Pass

Only then did King Ning look at Gu Yuanhao in surprise. "So my second nephew is so capable? How old is he? Fifteen years old?"

"Not yet, I'm 13 years old this year, and I'm fourteen years old!" Gu Yuanhao hurriedly raised his chest.

"Are you only 13 years old? Then you are even more powerful!" King Ning's eyes sparkled, "When I was this age, I only knew how to escape from the palace to play!"

As he spoke, he couldn't help staring at Gu Yuanhao for a while. "Why do I feel that the second nephew seems to have seen it somewhere?"

"Didn't you already meet their parents? They are all a family, and their looks and demeanors are very similar. The more you look at them, the more you look like them. This is what you should do." Mao Zhifu said.

Ning Wang thought about it and nodded. "That should be it."

Otherwise, it would be too much of a coincidence!

After dealing with King Ning, Magistrate Mao looked at Gu Tuo and said, "Are you sure you have dealt with all the people? This group of people have spent so much time and effort, and their thoughts are extremely meticulous. They don't look like ordinary robbers. Think about it carefully, how can you still get rid of them?" Are there any omissions?"

He really deserves to be a person who has been an official for many years and has solved many cases.Xia Ying's half-truth and half-false story did not completely convince him.

Gu Tuo could only bite the bullet and nod: "It's all been dealt with, the guards of Brother Yan's house are very good, and there are many people who have retired from the army! Their eyes and ears are much better than us ordinary people !"

"Really? The Yan family's caravan travels outside all year round, and their ability to deal with these matters is indeed much better than ordinary people." Lord Mao nodded, "It seems that this time, I have to find a chance to help this young man, thank you in person. He just needs to thank you."

As he spoke, he laughed again.

"By the way, you don't know yet, do you? One and a half months ago, I came to the capital to take up my post. Through my son-in-law, I presented the white rabbit fur cloak from Qingshan County, Jiangbian Province to the emperor. Sure enough, the emperor was very happy to see it, and then put the cloak on the table. In the bedroom, I play with it every day. And the emperor can’t like it enough, and has already ordered Qingshan County to make a few more white rabbit fur products and send them to the palace! By the way, the emperor also asked for a pair of white rabbits in the palace. I'm raising it for fun!"

Uh uh uh……

This good news made Xia Ying not very happy.She subconsciously glanced at Gu Tuo, and as expected, a sneer appeared on the man's face.

But fortunately, knowing that the situation he was in was wrong, he still didn't express much disdain in his heart.

He said in a deep voice: "So, father-in-law, you should have found a good job in Beijing this time, right?"

"Yes! Originally, according to the transfer order, I was going to serve in the Ministry of Rites. But the emperor was very happy when he saw the white rabbit fur cloak, and felt my loyalty, so he specially ordered me to be transferred to the Ministry of War." Master Mao laughed. the way.

The Ministry of Rites is in charge of various sacrifices of the royal family, as well as the weddings and funerals of the royal relatives and relatives. There is not much oil and water, and it is difficult to get promoted.But Mr. Mao came to the capital from another place to work, so it is already good for him to enter the sixth department.But if you really want to choose for him, he would of course prefer to join the household department or the military department. The household department has money and the military department has power. As long as you have one of them, it will be easier to make achievements and be promoted. .

So now, Master Mao is of course very happy to get himself a better position with just a white rabbit fur cloak.

Gu Tuo's eyes became more and more gloomy.

Xia Ying also really wanted to scold her.

Their emperor, His Majesty, made random arrangements for the personnel arrangements within the court just because of a little personal likes and dislikes. This is absolutely not advisable!
It is true that Master Mao has benefited himself by taking advantage of this.But it is also conceivable how many people have benefited themselves by taking advantage of the emperor's temperament!

If there were more sinister people here...

She couldn't even imagine the extent of the filth in such a huge imperial court!
Xia Ying is a little girl, she was not interested in politics at first, and she actually didn't have the heart to take care of the big things in the court.It's just that now that it's come to this point, she also knows the cause and effect of the matter from Mr. Mao, which inevitably makes her think more.

Moreover, now that she is in the capital of the Son of Heaven, and hearing with her own ears that His Majesty is acting like this, she believes that this one can indeed do what he did to copy Gu Yuanlong and Gu Yuanhao's family back then!

His majesty the emperor is such a willful person!
If this is the case, the emperor himself is indeed straightforward, but those loyal courtiers, as well as the common people in the world, will suffer!
Hey, she felt a little bit regretful: she was so active in the beginning to support the children to take the imperial examinations and become officials, and let them use their strength to clear up the grievances of their families. Is this right?The children are weak, how can they fight against the emperor who holds the country in his hands?

For a moment, she wanted to pull Gu Tuo, and the two hurriedly took the children back to the village and let it go!
Even if the life in the village is a bit bitter and boring, at least the children will be healthy and stable for a lifetime, right?

But this idea only flashed in her mind, and she was photographed aside.

Regardless of whether it is Gu Yuanlong or Gu Yuanhao, their ancestors were all people who were willing to sacrifice their lives to achieve their wishes.These two children also retain the generosity of the family who sacrificed their lives in their bones, and they will not be willing to be wronged and wronged for the rest of their lives.

Then as parents, all she and Gu Tuo can do is to accompany them along the way!

It's a big deal, it's good for the whole family to die together!She has lived two lives, if she can make a little more vigorous noise in this life, she will not lose at all!

Thinking of this, Xia Ying felt relieved.

As for Mao Zhifu being arranged in a good position, King Ning is of course happy to see it succeed.

He smiled and said: "My father-in-law has been in the civil society for many years and has a solid foundation. He is just the talent that the court urgently needs. So now that my father-in-law is able to serve in the Ministry of War, it is very lucky for the court, and it is also a blessing for the border soldiers. I believe that my father-in-law is here , the situation of my soldiers who fought hard at the northwest border will definitely get better."

Northwest border!

These four words instantly hit the hearts of Xia Ying's family.

It must be known that Gu Yuanhao's ancestors, the Pei clan, guarded the northwest frontier at the beginning!
When the Pei family was still alive, the borders were stable and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.As a result, now, seeing what King Ning meant, the northwest border has not been peaceful for a long time?
They were astonished in their hearts, but Gu Yuanhao had already cried out.

"What did you say? What happened to the northwest border?"
