Volume 1 Chapter 25 Shrewd Gu Shan (Father's Day Plus Update)
This night was destined to be a sleepless night. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Many people in the Gu family had insomnia this night.
The first to bear the brunt is the Gu family's grandfather, and Gu Shan, the prince of the dynasty who repaired the country.
Although Gu Shan's body is still strong, although Gu Shan's spirit is still clear, and although Gu Shan's thinking is still sharp, Gu Shan still feels:
He's old.
Not only is he old, but also because of the gray hair on his son's head, and because the grandchildren have a group of children, even the great-grandson has begun to start a family and is no longer a child.
But Gu Shan still can't rest assured.
Not just because of his step-room, Zhang, and the youngest son born to him by Zhang.
The Zhang family is the daughter-in-law of the great official of the previous dynasty that Gu Shan snatched when he followed the new dynasty into Shenjing. Gu Shan fell in love with Zhang's maiden family, which is the world's famous Wansong Academy, and there have been many great Confucian sages, so he exchanged the lives of Zhang's family with his ex-husband's son and more than ten underage boys from his husband's relatives' family, so that Zhang's nod and remarry him.
That year, Gu Shan was seventy-one years old, and Zhang was just twenty years old.
Today, Gu Shan is eighty-one years old, the Zhang family is only thirty, and their son Gu Xi is only seven years old this year.
Gu Shan could see clearly, and his abacus played better.
Gu Shan knew very well that any imperial court, when the founding of the country, was to reuse military generals, and when the foundation of the imperial court was stable, the imperial court would begin to be afraid of the generals with heavy troops, and the status of the generals would be reduced, and the civil officials would win the emperor's heart more.
Therefore, Gu Shan calculated that the three sons in front of him and the grandchildren born to him by these three sons would definitely follow the path of military generals in the future, while the youngest son born to him by the Zhang family would follow the path of civil officials in the future. Through the Zhang family's maiden Wansong Academy, the Gu family can also train the fourth generation below to become civil officials.
In other words, as long as the operation is done properly, there may be some twists and turns in the middle, but the Gu family can still use the Zhang family and the Zhang family to transform smoothly.
Therefore, even though he knew that his eldest son Gu Hai was a little unreliable, Gu Shan still felt that he didn't need Gu Hai to forge ahead, he only needed him to keep it, which shouldn't be difficult.
But Gu Shan never expected that his eldest son would be such a confused seed that let a woman play with it.
Thinking that his son came out of Gu Qiqi Niang's house and anxiously took care of An's back to the room, and also arrested Imperial Doctor Ye to treat An's family without even explaining a word to Song's family, Gu Shan wished that he didn't personally cut off An's head at that time.
"Old."
Under the large camphor tree behind the Songhe Hall, Gu Shan sat on the Hu bed (Hu bed, which is the prototype of the backrest chair in Ming-style furniture. This kind of chair that frees the calves and allows them to be perpendicular to the ground used to be called Hu bed. Li Bai's "Bright Moonlight in Front of the Bed" actually describes not the moonlight sprinkled in front of the couch through the window, but the moonlight that he saw when he moved a chair and sat in the courtyard. Sighing at the bright moon in the sky.
Not only because Gu Shan himself is old, but also because his son Gu Hai is also old.
Because Gu Shan is old, everyone recognizes that Gu Hai is the head of the family, so his subordinates showed mercy and just cut off the woman's arm, instead of stabbing the woman with a sword.
Because Gu Hai is also old, his brain is not clear, so he can't even distinguish between priority and priority.
Gu Shan sighed again.
His old subordinate Fan Yuan saw the opportunity and said, "Master, it's late at night." It's time for you to rest. ”
"Lao Fan, you say, am I old?"
"Where, the grandfather should be old and strong, how can he be old? According to his subordinates, the master is more energetic than before. ”
Gu Shan said: "If it weren't for me getting old, how could you keep your hands?" ”
In Gu Shan's opinion, if it weren't for his old age, how could his old subordinates be so timid that they would keep their hands? His old subordinates are veterans who have gone to the battlefield and don't know how many beheadings!
Fan Yuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Master, you don't like that woman, but we old brothers can look down on that woman?" It's just that the girl is pitiful. Now, the seventh grandmother is gone, and the seventh grandmother is soft and glutinous, and she is still sick and crooked. If the old brothers don't spare their hands today, and the word comes out in the future, people will not say that the woman offended the master, but only that the Qiqi girl killed her own grandmother. ”
Hearing Fan Yuan say this, Gu Shan was stunned at first, and then sighed.
This is also Gu Shan's concern.
To be honest, with Gu Shan's status and identity, he didn't have to care about a grandson who was born to leave him a great-granddaughter. Before today, Gu Shan didn't know who Gu Qiqiniang was, what kind of person she was, and how she behaved on weekdays. If it weren't for Yuye coming to report the news, Gu Shan would not have come forward at all.
That's right, for Gu Shan, with a great-granddaughter left behind by a grandson like Gu Qiqi Niang, even if Gu Qi Qi Niang's father Gu Ning died in the rescue, even if the emperor posthumously crowned Gu Ning and let Gu Ning's sister-in-law Gu Yu not be demoted, even if Gu Qiqi Niang was Gu Ning's only concubine, Gu Shan would not care.
What Gu Shan cares about is the order of the Gu family and the inheritance of the Gu family.
And Gu Shanhui wanted to kill the An family, also for the order of the Gu family.
Gu Qiqi Niang honestly obeyed the filial piety and wanted to kill him? Gu Shan would definitely not allow it.
Those great-granddaughters who are not honest and filial piety but try to kill the sisters born by the same father? Gu Shan would definitely not allow it.
The concubines and concubines of the An family and Gu Ning were bent on making trouble, and they didn't want to mourn and keep filial piety for Gu Ning? Gu Shan will definitely not let these women be satisfied.
Not only will he not let these women be satisfied, but he will also let these women know that without Gu Ning's protection, they are nothing, just a group of.
Thinking of An's family, Gu Shan snorted coldly and said, "Is the boss still in that woman's room?" ”
"Master Hui, yes." Fan Yuan responded in a low voice.
To be honest, Gu Hai's behavior was not only dissatisfied with Gu Shan, but even Gu Shan's subordinates couldn't look down on it, and Gu Hai's own personal soldiers were even more discussed.
Whether it is Gu Shan or Gu Hai, they are all military generals of the new dynasty, and they are also military generals at the level of the founding fathers. Gu Shan is one of the twelve founding princes of Xiuguo, and Gu Hai, because the Gu family used to be the domestic slave of the royal family of the new dynasty, and because Gu Shan was named the Duke of Xiuguo, so in the end, he was not named the founding marquis and the founding uncle like his colleagues, not even a viscount, just a Yunlu general, this is still a false title, and it still cannot be passed on to his descendants.
Because Gu Hai's own military exploits have long been incorporated into Gu Shan's cultivation kilometer, this is also an important reason why Gu Shan can become one of the twelve founding princes.
If it weren't for Gu Hai not showing his military merits, Gu Shan would not have become a national prince.
Who made the Gu family a royal slave?
It's a political exchange game. The royal family needs to become a prince to increase their bargaining chips, while other forces need to suppress the power of the royal family to prevent the high concentration of power from causing the royal family not to treat its courtiers as human beings and a high degree of corruption.
In the division of power game of the new dynasty, the Gu family got benefits and became someone else's bargaining chip.
So much for.
And one of the results of this political exchange is that Gu Hai must be Gu Shan's heir.
In other words, after a hundred years of Gu Shan, the head of the Gu family, the title of Duke Xiuguo, and most of the property of the Gu family must be passed on to Gu Hai.
