Chapter 30 Accepting Discipline

Facing the eyes of everyone, Xu Jinghong did not show any excitement. He had long guessed that it was not so simple to come to the birthday banquet today, and now it seems that it is true. Although Liu Mo is doing this to promote himself and make himself have a serious background, he is also completely pulling himself into his camp.

Xu Jinghong doesn't think that the credit mentioned by the other party is true. This is just a high-sounding reason. Liu Mo did this only because he valued his value in the army. If it hadn't been for Wang Junqing's praise that day, I'm afraid Liu Mo wouldn't even look at himself, let alone Liu's previous pull and current promotion.

However, although he has seen the intention of the other party, Xu Jinghong does not intend to refuse. After all, this is an opportunity for him to leave his slave status and take a road that he can control. It is impossible for him to give up because he does not want to be at the mercy of others. However, Xu Jinghong did not agree immediately, but put forward his own conditions: "The villain is very grateful for the promotion of the governor. But the villain has something to ask for..."

Hearing what he said, everyone looked at the slave workers in the mine with incredible eyes. Now that he has a good future in front of him, he actually has to bargain. Isn't it too presumptuous?

Liu Mo was not surprised. If Xu Jinghong had been so easy to subdue, he would have gone with Wang Junqing long ago. How could he leave this opportunity to himself? So he smiled indifferently and said, "What do you want? As long as you don't violate the laws of the Song Dynasty, I will definitely help you." This answer surprised the officials. How could this teenager make the governor so popular?

"On the mine that day, adults should also understand. In fact, it was not the credit of the villain alone, and the two brothers also made great efforts. So the villain means that if adults want to reward, please reward even the merits made by those two brothers!" Xu Jinghong was not polite and immediately put forward his own conditions.

Liu Mo touched the short beard under his chin and nodded with a smile: "Jinghong's request is not too much, but I have forgotten it. The two of them have indeed made contributions to Yunzhou. Then let them go to the army to seek a career as you wish."

"Thank you for your promotion!" Xu Jinghong hurriedly bowed his hand and saluted.

"Ha ha, this is what you deserve, and from then on, I have seen another quality of you, Chongyi! This is exactly the character that a military sergeant should have. What does Lou Du think? Lou Du hurriedly nodded and said yes, and Liu Mo said while it was hot, "Zinghong has contributed to Yunzhou, and he will be promoted when he joins the army. I don't know what position Lou Du thinks is more appropriate to give him?"

"This..." The building also frowned. As a capital, he did not have much authority to appoint and remove soldiers. Finally, he had to say, "This time, Ye Hao's matter has found many guilty soldiers, but many positions have been vacancies in the army. However, the military position above the guard needs to be reported to the military department for trial, so in the opinion of the last general, should we give the Xu brothers a team position? If he makes new achievements in the future, it will not be too late for us to promote him again. Otherwise, a slave worker in the mine will be promoted to the guard of the eighth grade, but I'm afraid it will arouse the criticism of people who don't know the inside story.

"Well, Lou Dutong's consideration is also right, so let's arrange a team position for him in your Xuanzi camp. As for his two brothers, they will also be arranged in his team." Liu Mo made a conclusion.

The governor has now established enough prestige among Yunzhou Wenwu through his own wrists, so no one dares to object to this decision. The building is also the only one to accept people.

Looking at all this, Xu Jinghong inexplicably had an idea in his heart: Presumably, the taste of this power is still very good. If I want to achieve my goal, I must also get enough power!

After the matter was settled, the atmosphere in the hall became warm again, and the officials around Xu Jinghong were also much enthusiastic about him, because everyone could see that Xu Jinghong was a talent focused on training by Governor Liu, and no one could say what he would achieve in the future.

It was not until nearly three days that the birthday banquet was over. Everyone left the Liu family drunk. Xu Jinghong did not accept the retention of the Liu family and went back to the mine with a little wine. Looking at the scene of people going to the empty, Liu Mo touched his beard with a smile at his control. He had seen the attitude of most people from today's banquet. His prestige in Yunzhou has been fully established. Even if there are a few people who are not convinced, he dare not openly against him. And this is just the beginning. He believes that it won't be long before Yunzhou will be completely controlled in his own hands.

Just as Liu was thinking proudly about what was going to be achieved, he saw his son Liu Kaiyang coming angrily, and behind him were brothers Liu and brothers Liu Mi, both of whom looked helpless.

"Why don't you go to rest so late at night? Why do you come to see me?" Seeing his son come straight to him, Liu Mo frowned slightly. Although he asked Liu Kaiyang, his eyes fell on the two brothers behind him.

Before the two could speak, Liu Kaiyang couldn't help saying: "Dad, there is something that I can't figure out and I don't want to fall asleep at all."

"Oh, but for what?" After looking at him, Liu Mo walked slowly with his hands behind his back. At this time, he could blow the wind and wake up.

"The child doesn't understand why his father valued a humble mine slave so much! He not only had a low status, but also had an enmity with his child the day before yesterday. His father not only did not help punish him, but also gave him a job in the army. But I'm still a civilian to this day, and I can't even get any honors..."

"Hit!" Liu Mo suddenly shouted to stop Liu Kaiyang's complaint: "You really disappointed me! In the past, although you were stubborn, I only thought you were young and ignorant. But now that you are weak, you still haven't achieved anything and don't understand anything. Isn't this because of yourself? Others have made achievements, but you blame me. It's really unreasonable to blame me for not giving you a chance!"

"The owner of the family is angry. Kaiyang is just too young to distinguish..." Seeing this, Liu suddenly came forward to persuade him.

"Well, it's 20 years old. Is there something you still can't understand? He was just too smooth in the past. No one dared to fight against him, but this time he suffered a loss in Xu Jinghong's hands and was unwilling. Knowing Mo Ruo's father, Liu Mo broke his son's true thoughts, and then slowed down his tone and said, "Kaiyang, you really disappoint me. Can't you even see what your father is doing today?"

"I..." Liu Kaiyang chattered for a moment and realized that he was a little overwhelmed by anger.

"Do you think Xu Jinghong is just a mine slave? No, his * is very deep. He is the concubine of the Xu family among the seven families in the court. He was sent here because he offended the main house. At this point alone, he is no longer very simple. What's more, Wang Junqing's previous appreciation for him, this son is bound to make some achievements in the army in the future, which is why his father value him so much. Liu Kaiyang is his son after all. After scolding him a few times, Liu Mo still decided to make things clear and let him understand the reason and importance of it: "What's more, his own mind and ability are also very good. As long as we have a certain relationship with him, we can use his strength to revitalize our Liu family in Hedong in the future.

"My Liu family has been inherited for thousands of years since the Han Dynasty, but in terms of influence, it can't be compared with seven people such as Ye and Xu, who have only been more than one or two hundred years. Why is this? It's not that they are in charge of the power in the court, but their father, the lord of the Liu family, is just a governor of Yunzhou!

"Although my Liu family has been in history for thousands of years, the power of the family has been weak and weak, and I don't want to find a way to revive the door style. I'm afraid that in less than a hundred years, Hedong Liumen will be removed from the world."

Seeing his father's serious words, Liu Kaiyang also felt pressure, but he still said puzzled, "But what does the revitalization of my Liu family have to do with Xu Jinghong? Even if he joined the army, he was just a small officer. What's the matter?

"You have to take a long-term view! He has such a deep* and won the favor of Wang Junqing that he is bound to have a place in the army. Although it seems that we are helping him at present, who can say that my Liu family will not need his help in the future? If a family does not have its own strength in the army, it is impossible to really become bigger and last for a long time! This is also the key to the reason why the seven people can hold the government for decades. Naturally, we should act like them.

"But... can this Xu Jinghong really be used for us?"

"It depends on our means. In fact, if he is a sensible person, he should also know that it is beneficial and harmless for us to join him. In addition, today is my sentence to let him join the army, and he always owes a favor!" Liu Mo said and looked at his son solemnly: "But the foundation of all this is still my own strength, so as the direct grandson of the Liu family, you should know what you are going to do, right?"

"The child understands that the child will not humiliate my father and my Liu family again in the future!" Perhaps because of his father's words, or stimulated by Xu Jinghong's ability to achieve something at such an age, Liu Kaiyang also became a little calm and said.

Seeing that his son can change, the smile on Liu Mo's face is even more happy, which is incomparable to attract an outsider for his own use.
