sent Feng Mingbo away, and Gu Ze'an did not stay in the house again. Gu Jialuo's decision to return to the Qi family is not her business alone, but a major event for the entire family - such a disaster has happened to the Qi family, and the Gu family, as an in-law, must make the most appropriate coping strategy as soon as possible.
Song knew that the stakes were high, so he didn't say anything, and just silently sent Gu Ze'an out of the room.
Zhao Guogong Gu Chong and his wife Zhao have a total of three sons and one daughter, the eldest daughter Gu Zeyuan, twin sons Gu Ze'an and Gu Zecheng, and a young son Gu Zeyun.
At this moment, in Gu Chong's outer study, the three sons were all in a row, sitting on a chair against the wall, quietly listening to Gu Chong's words.
Gu Chong sat on the circle chair behind the bookcase, put his hands on the armrests, and said slowly: "Just now there was news from the palace that Qi Lingxian wanted to make meritorious service for his crimes, and asked the sage to allow him to go back to the southwest to quell the chaos. The sage did not answer, but ordered a large army to be gathered and to prepare food, grass and equipment. β
Gu Ze'an grasped the point of his father's words, he touched his chin, and said, "The sage didn't refuse the invitation of the Duke of Qianguo to fight, yes or no?" β
didn't refuse, but he didn't reprimand, obviously the sage still attached more importance to Qi Lingxian, and did not exclude Qi Lingxian from going to the southwest in person to 'wear guilt and make meritorious contributions'. And Qi Ling is familiar with the military affairs of the southwest first, and he is half of the head of the southwest battalion, so he will come forward to quell the chaos, and he will get twice the result with half the effort.
It's just that the saint is still afraid of the Qi family's power and wants to take the opportunity to take back the military affairs in the southwest, so he shouldn't easily agree.
Gu Chong nodded, "That's right, the saint may still be considering." After today's court meeting, the saint left a few of us old things leading the troops......"
The Qi family has soldiers in their hands, and they have guarded the southwest for generations.
In addition to the Qi family, there are also three national mansions that also have military power, namely the Zhao State Mansion that guards Liaodong, the British Mansion that recovers the northwest, and the Wei Guo Mansion that purgizes coastal defense.
The four major princes are all hereditary founding nobles, all of whom have outstanding military achievements and military power, and the heads or nephews of the four families are all guarding the borders of the four sides of Daqi, and the combined strength of the four battalions in the southwest, northwest, Liaodong and Donghai accounts for one-third of the national strength of Daqi.
The saint valued and feared these four families, and after ascending the throne, he did not want to weaken the power of the four families all the time, and gradually collected the military power of the four battalions into his own hands.
However, the four great powers are loyal to the country, obey the law and abide by the law, and occasionally make small mistakes, but they have not yet reached the point of letting the saints reckolate. He is a face-saving person today, and the Great Qi Dynasty has been stable for only ten years, and he doesn't want to easily cause turmoil.
Therefore, no matter how much the saint does not want to see the four major princes in his heart, he still has to endure it.
Now that the Qi family has taken the lead in causing trouble, the saint has finally made up his mind to attack the Qi family, and the other three families can't help but feel a little worried.
"Father, do you mean that the saint wants to send one of our three families to quell the rebellion in the southwest?" After listening to his father's words, Gu Ze'an couldn't help but ask in surprise.
Gu Chong didn't say yes or no, but his expression already said it all.
"This, this is not Hu, uh, just kidding," Gu Zecheng is a military general, a straightforward character, an inattentive one, and almost said something disrespectful to the saint.
Fortunately, his nerves were not yet thick at home, so he forced it back, but his face was still full of resentment: "Qi, Gu, Xiao, and Yang have their own specialties, our Gu family is good at training troops in the cold far north, the Qi family is good at training troops in the hot and humid places in the southwest miasma poisonous insects, the cavalry of the British Gong Yang family is famous all over the world, and the East China Sea battalion of the Duke of Wei Guo are all sailors with excellent water nature." If the cavalry of the Yang family were allowed to fight in the southwest mountains, would he, would they be able to run away from the horse? And-"
Isn't this a child's play on militaristic affairs?!
Gu Zecheng's tone was very unkind, so he almost scolded the emperor for 'playing the piano' indiscriminately!
"Second child, be cautious!" Gu Chong lowered his face, although he was at home, he couldn't keep his mouth shut, the sage rebuilt the Jinlanwei when Gaozu was rebuilt, and the spies of the Jinlanwei were pervasive, and their several major government mansions were the focus of the sage's monitoring, and among the people in the family, maybe there was a Jinlanwei hidden.
Gu Zecheng pursed his lips and said no more, but his eyes were full of unconvinced.
Gu Ze'an said: "Father, didn't the saint want to take the opportunity to disrupt the deployment of the four major battalions? Let's adjust each other's defenses? β
In the last years of Gaozu, the old Gaozu once made such a time, he made a big defense of all the Davids under the rule of Daqi, from north to south, from west to east, for several years, spent an unknown amount of manpower and material resources, tossed the Davids enough, made the people resentful, the guards were tired, and the fierce enemies around took the opportunity to make trouble, and the Tatars in the north almost hit Shuntianfu, almost causing a catastrophe.
It is precisely because of this lesson that we dare not easily attack the four major princes' mansions today, lest we repeat the disaster of Gaozu's time.
Gu Chong sighed, still didn't say anything, but the answer was self-evident.
Gu Ze'an frowned, "Father, in this way, the saint shouldn't punish the Qi family severely, right?" If Garo goes back, it shouldn't have a big impact. "At least it won't implicate the Gu family.
Gu Chong hadn't spoken yet, but Gu Zecheng looked displeased, "Big brother, something like this happened to the Qi family, and it was too late for others to hide, why did you take the initiative to go up?" I've heard that as soon as the sage ordered Jinlanwei to go to the southwest to arrest people, the eldest grandmother and the third grandmother of the Qi family's Dongfu sent someone to take their daughter back, and listened to the meaning of the two families, they actually wanted their daughter to leave. It just so happened that Jia Luo was at home, and the Qi family didn't want Jia Luo's daughter-in-law, so they simply cut it off directly, saving the innocent. β
Gu Zecheng doesn't like Gu Jialuo's niece, and he doesn't have anything good to say about her.
Gu Ze'an listened, his face was slightly gloomy, Jia Luo is his baby daughter, the palm bead of the prince of Zhao Guogong, how did it fall into Gu Zecheng's mouth, and it became a scourge that affected the family?
"Second brother, that's not what I said, our Gu family has always behaved uprightly, how can we learn from those small families who can't wait for the stage? If your in-laws are in trouble, they should be helped, how can they fall into the ground? β
Gu Ze'an said in a deep voice: "If something happens to the Qi family, it is very likely that the knighthood will be seized and the family will be raided, how can Jia Luo not know that he will suffer when he returns to the Qi family at this time?" But she still decided to go back, why did she go back knowing that she was suffering? Isn't that for the sake of the Gu family's reputation? β
"Come on, big brother, what kind of character is Jia Luo, we all know it, it's not bad if she doesn't discredit her family, and she still maintains her reputation? Hmph~" Gu Zecheng said disdainfully.
"Second brother, you-" Gu Ze'an stood up suddenly, and was about to have a good talk with Gu Zecheng.
Gu Chong couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted coldly: "Okay, it's not a big deal, there hasn't been a disturbance outside, but you two brothers have quarreled first." It's good that Jia Luo decided to go back for the sake of her family, no matter what she did in the past, the fact that she can take the initiative to go back shows that she is a good boy. Ah Cheng, Jia Luo is your niece, I don't expect you to treat her like your own daughter, but you also have to be an elder. β
"And you, boss, I'm still in front of you, you just blow your beard and stare at you, what's the matter, you still want to beat your brother?"
Gu Chong was impartial, and his two sons each played fifty boards.
Finally, he said, "Since Jia Luo wants to go back, then go back." Da Lang, take some time, you will personally send Jia Luo back to the Qi family. β
Gu Ze'an is right, the Gu family is a downright family, and they must not do things that are down-to-earth. Furthermore, what if the Qi family is really robbed of the title? Didn't their Gu family also fall to the point of recharging the army back then, but it hasn't slowed down?
Gu Chong believes that Qi Ziru's descendants are not cowards, they fell into a trough today, and they can return to the court tomorrow!
β¦β¦
"Princess, where are we going?" The little palace maid Chun Tao, dressed in men's clothes, asked timidly.
The ninth princess, who was also dressed in men's clothes, hurriedly said: "I have all said that I am young master, why are you still called princess?" β
Chun Tao hurriedly changed her words, "Yes, yes, young master, where are we going." Your illness is just right, and your mother will explain it to you, so that you can recuperate. β
As a result, as soon as the ninth princess recovered, she secretly changed into men's clothes, and went out of the palace with the token rewarded by the queen last time, with only two palace maids, Chun Tao and Chun Xing, looking at the bustling pedestrians, Chun Tao's heart was about to jump to her throat, lest the nine princesses be hit by the untouchables who were not long-eyed.
The ninth princess waved her hand impatiently, "Don't worry, everything is with me, and my mother won't blame me." Finally, there was no need to pretend to be stupid, the ninth princess was overjoyed, and her plan was full of plans to be implemented.
But when she thought that Yao Xiruo had become her benefactor, she was full of awkwardness.
She is a person with clear grievances, she must repay her kindness, and she will never let go of her revenge. Although in her previous life, she had taken revenge and made Yao Xiruo ruined and died without a place to be buried, but she didn't end up well.
The ninth princess's hatred for Yao Xiruo has been ingrained into her bones, and she will never let go of Yao Xiruo, a slut with a snake heart. But it was Yao Xiruo who 'cured' the ninth princess's dementia, whether it was to stop the tongue or to repay the cause and effect, the ninth princess must return the 'kindness' before taking revenge.
As early as the day Yao Xiruo decided to treat her, the ninth princess began to think about how to 'repay the favor'. After thinking about it for nearly two months, she finally came up with an excellent method.
When she left the palace today, the ninth princess was just to prepare.
If she remembers correctly, Yao Xiruo and Qi Mianzhi hooked up a long time ago, and now the Qi family has a big disaster, Qi Lingxian and Qi Qinzhi's father and son have been escorted back to Beijing by Jinlanwei, and they are all imprisoned in the imperial prison pending trial. After hearing the news, the eldest princess was anxious and angry, and had a stroke on the spot, and was rescued by Yao Xiruo, and recovered most of it, but her hands and feet were paralyzed and could not move, so she could only rest in bed.
Qi Mianzhi, as the only young master in the East Mansion who can support the faΓ§ade, is busy looking for a way around.
And Yao Xiruo cured the ninth princess and gave the queen mother some beauty and beauty treatment secrets, which won the favor of the harem nobles, and the queen mother even gave her a jade pendant and allowed her to enter and leave the palace freely.
Qi Mianzhi wants to find a way to save his father and brother, the best way is to go to the palace to intercede, but the eldest princess can't move, so his best rescue object is Yao Xiruo.
β¦β¦ Hehe, what the Ninth Princess has to do is to catch Yao Xiruo and Qi Mian, as long as they are sure that they have a personal relationship, the next thing will be easy to do!
