Mo Junyang has that ability, even if he hasn't done anything yet, he can accurately grasp people's hearts.
With just a few words, all the generals believed that he had the ability to break the formation, and would definitely be able to lead the Shi family army to destroy the Qingluo bandits and return to the capital victoriously.
Shi Qingxue couldn't help but marveled at it. No wonder Mo Junyang was first a hostage imprisoned in the palace in his previous life, and then he was only the Crown Prince Rui in name only, but in the end he was able to step on the corpses of all his opponents and aspire to the throne.
Even she, a person who didn't understand anything at all, felt that this person could be trusted - of course he had always been the person she trusted the most.
In fact, Mo Junyang never made any big claims. According to the route he gave, the five-element trap that originally troubled Shi Jiajun was as clear as dewdrops penetrated by the sun.
Without the formation, the ambushes on the road were like small toys to the Shi Jiajun, and the road was smooth. When the bandits relied on the 'formation' to attack the camp, they discovered that the Shi Jiajun had turned around and used the Five Elements Trap Formation. Hide, then surround them and annihilate them in one fell swoop.
The Qingluo Bandits, which had plagued Qingluo Mountain for nearly ten years and killed nearly a thousand members of the Shi Family Army, were destroyed in less than half a day. The ending was so simple that even the generals of the Shi Family Army could not believe it was true.
"Prince Mo is indeed very capable. Not only did he understand Nao Shizi's formation, but he also defeated that group of bandits. You didn't even see the look on their faces when they found out they were surrounded by us. It really made me laugh to death. Come on!" Yan Ji was selected as the vanguard by Mo Junyang, and he followed Mo Junyang at the forefront throughout the whole process. He was immediately impressed by Mo Junyang's calmness and strategic intelligence.
Liu Caishu was a little dissatisfied and deliberately questioned, "I heard the general said that he admitted that he didn't know magic. Why did he break the formation all of a sudden? Could it be that a blind cat encountered a dead mouse?"
"Bah! If you can't do it yourself, you think everyone is useless!" Yan Ji defended resolutely, "Mo Shizi's words must be self-effacing. People are low-key and don't like to show off. You are like a big knife and you just have to do it. Don’t stop until everyone knows!”
Liu Caishu bared his teeth: "If you have the skills, don't ask me to teach you!"
Yan Ji said: "If you have the ability, don't learn my swordsmanship!"
Liu Caishu: "..."
Yan Ji: “…”
The two generals were already in their sixties combined, but their quarrels became more and more childish, going further and further away, and they couldn't stand to listen anymore.
Shi Junhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry. There was nothing he could do against them, but he just won a big victory, so he didn't care and looked at Mo Junyang instead.
It's a pity that Mo Junyang is taciturn. Everyone is celebrating the victory, but he just can't say a word. If his momentum is not so strong that people can't ignore it, it is not an exaggeration to say that there is an extra statue here.
No, you can’t say that either.
At that time, Qingxue ran to Mo Junyang in surprise and asked, "I remember you don't know how to do Qimen Dunjia. How did you break the formation this time?"
The man's cold brows softened immediately. He had no special expression, but he answered all questions: "I visited Qingluo Mountain not long ago, and I am familiar with the terrain here."
"Just by doing this, you know how to break the formation?" Shi Junhe couldn't believe it.
Only Shi Qingxue knew that Mo Junyang's so-called "familiarity" was definitely not just as simple as knowing which way to go. He was probably already familiar with the terrain of the entire Qingluo Mountain.
The question arises, how could Mo Junyang be familiar with the terrain of Qingluo Mountain in advance, just a few days before Shi Junhe's expedition, as if he had planned it deliberately.
It's just that Mo Junyang helped resolve a crisis after all. No matter what the purpose was, Shi Junhe had to accept this love.
Of course, it would be better if the other person's eyes don't always fall on his baby daughter.
A certain father grinded his teeth secretly.
The news that Shi Junhe successfully eliminated the Qingluo Bandits and solved a hidden danger in the Mo family quickly spread back to Kyoto, causing a wave of waves in Kyoto.
Although anyone who has ever served as a local official knows that most of the problems caused by bandits are caused by the indulgence of local officials, Shi Junhe was able to easily eliminate those bandits - the news that Mo Junyang helped break the formation did not spread, at least on the surface. Everyone in the world only recognized that Shi's army had destroyed the Qingluo Bandits - Shi Junhe's status in Kyoto rose again.
Even Mo Xiangbin had no choice but to relent and personally arranged marriage for Shi Baoning and Wen Renchi. The wedding date was set for the third day of the twelfth lunar month this year.
Happy events came one after another. The second young master of the Shi family, Shi Baozhao, who had gone out to study, returned after completing his studies and was recommended by the headmaster of Lingshan Academy to participate in the triennial official selection.
Speaking of Shi Baozhao, he is the eldest son of Shi Juncai. Before Wen Renchi came to Shi Mansion, he had been the eldest young master in the mansion and was favored by all. Especially since Shi Junhe never had a son, many people thought that Shi Junhe If you don't want to divorce your wife and remarry, you must adopt a brother's child to inherit the title.
Shi Baozhao had been expecting this, but when Wen Renchi came, he not only made him the second oldest, but also took away his qualification to inherit the title.
Later, in order to consolidate Wen Renchi's position in the Shi family, Shi Junhe took Wen Renchi into the military camp and sent him to Lingshan Academy.
Whether it is biased or not is self-evident.
Of course, these secrets are no longer worth mentioning now. Her son has returned safely and has a great future. In the past few days, Zhou Ruyu has been walking around the Shifu, and everyone has to talk about her family's precious son.
These days, Shi Guogong's mansion is very lively. First, Shi Baoning's marriage has mobilized everyone in the mansion, and the number of people who come to visit Shi's house has doubled than before.
However, after three rounds of examinations, Shi Baozhao was only awarded a seventh-grade sesame official, the kind that was not even required to serve in the court. Although he was not sent abroad, he was still far away from the inner city, and it was even more difficult to return to Shi's home.
Zhou Ruyu didn't want her son to travel back and forth every day, and she didn't want Shi Baozhao to be such a useless petty official. Before Shi Baozhao's order came down, she approached Shi Junhe.
Naturally, at first, he cried about how upbeat Shi Baozhao was, but how pitiful he was when he was ostracized because he was unwilling to join the officialdom.
Shi Junhe rubbed his forehead with a headache and interrupted Zhou Ruyu's crying, "Three brothers and sisters, don't say more. I have already read Bao Zhao's articles. The examiner's evaluation of him is very fair. Moreover, he is anxious and a little eager for quick success. , it really takes a lot of hard work to achieve great things.”
Zhou Ruyu asked him for help, but when he heard the other party describe his son in such a bad way, he immediately quit, "What did the elder brother say? Zhao'er has been personally recommended by the headmaster of Lingshan Academy, so his talent and ability cannot be checked. Why did he become mediocre when he got to the examiner? I don’t believe it, someone must have deliberately targeted our Zhao’er!”
Seeing Shi Junhe frowning, obviously unhappy, Zhou Ruyu shut up angrily, thinking: Now that she wants something from Shi Junhe, she can't make him angry first. Then he said flatteringly: "Brother, to be honest, our Zhao'er has become successful, isn't it a matter of fighting for our family's face? How can you refuse to save him?"
"Although the Gyeonggi area is not as good as the city, it is still an important place in Kyoto and is suitable for Zhao'er to experience. If he can work there peacefully for four or five years, it will be natural for him to want to enter the Sixth Department in the future. Why should my brothers and sisters be anxious."
"Four or five years!" Zhou Ruyu screamed, extremely angry!
Let alone four or five years, she couldn't stand her son staying there for four or five days.
In addition to examinations, the appointment of officials in Mo State actually focuses more on recommendations. As long as powerful officials and scholars recommend them, let alone Beijing officials, there will be many people who directly work in the six ministries.
Shi Guogong's reputation is not small, but Shi Junhe didn't go around for Shi Baozhao at all, and put on a selfless look. The people in the official department were good at looking at the dishes, so naturally they also helped Shi Baozhao. Open this back door.
"Brother, Mr. Chen's legitimate son is a playboy, but now he has entered the Ministry of Etiquette. You have watched Bao Zhao grow up since he was a child. You can't just watch him being compared with such a person, right?"
A few days ago, the wife of Mr. Chen, the censor, came to Shi's house in name, but she was showing off her son in and out of her words, which made Zhou Ruyu very angry. Now she came to the door eagerly, hoping that Shi Junhe would make a good arrangement for Shi Baozhao. Errands.
Shi Junhe interrupted her coldly and said calmly: "The Shi family has never had the habit of going astray, and we can never set a precedent like this. Needless to say, the third brother and sister, since Bao Zhao has been appointed, they should do their jobs well. If If you do a good job, I will recommend him in the future."
After saying that, he waved his hands in a dismissive manner.
Zhou Ruyu held her breath in her heart, but she knew Shi Junhe so well that she didn't say any more, but turned around and went to Shou'antang.
You must know that Shi Baozhao is the serious eldest son of the Shi family. If Shi Junhe can't get it, she doesn't believe that the old lady can stand by and watch.
The next day, Mo Shujun was in a good mood and gathered everyone in the Shi family together for a half-family dinner. Even Wen Renchi, who had moved out and basically separated the family, was called back.
The family sat around the dining table, eating, drinking, talking and laughing, and it was quite a time of enjoyment.
"Zhao'er, I heard from your mother that your official appointment letter has been issued." Mo Shujun took a sip of tea and asked suddenly.
Shi Baozhao responded quickly: "I have come down. I have appointed my grandson to serve as the right admonisher for the construction project of the third department of household affairs. He is temporarily responsible for the construction and maintenance of river flood control dams in the Gyeonggi area."
Mo Shujun frowned and asked with displeasure: "What kind of official is this? Why have I never heard of it before?"
"A small local official, it's just that my uncle sympathized with Baozhao and allowed Baozhao to stay in Kyoto to watch." Shi Baozhao was full of respect and gratitude to Shi Junhe both in words and in words.
Mo Shujun pointed the finger at Shi Junhe, "So, did you arrange Zhao'er's official position?"
Shi Junhe smiled bitterly in his heart and thought to himself: The drama has finally reached its climax, and he doesn't have to run away.
I could only answer vaguely: "Mother, Zhao'er's appointment is the order of the officials and subordinates. My son has no such power, and he cannot interfere. Please forgive me, mother."
Mo Shujun was not a fool like Zhou Ruyu. She knew her eldest son's character well and it was impossible for him to openly show favoritism, so she did not dwell on this topic.
He said calmly: "In this case, I can't force you, but..."
