Chapter 292: The Tiger Rages
Duan Canghai said: "When Taizu died, the king of Huainan was young, Emperor Taizong took over the burden and began to reuse the old marquis, the old marquis has made many military exploits since then, and has made great achievements, but the old marquis of the golden knife is the No. 1 general under Emperor Taizu, and it is still deeply rooted in the military.

"After all, the Golden Dao Marquis has made great contributions to the founding of the Great Chu State." Qi Ning bowed slightly: "If you really snub him completely, I'm afraid it will lead to dissatisfaction with the army and internal division." ā
Duan Canghai said with a smile: "So at that time, Emperor Taizong asked the old marquis to lead the northern expedition, but let the golden sword wait to pacify the southeast area, and the main battlefield was in the north, so the old marquis naturally had more opportunities to establish meritorious deeds." At that time, the biggest enemy entrenched in the southeast was Hou Quan, who had the East China Sea army, and the old Marquis of the Golden Knife spent several years to exterminate Hou Quan, and incorporated Hou Quan's hundreds of warships, and the imperial court appointed the old Marquis of the Golden Knife to establish the East China Sea Division in the East China Sea. ā
"In this way, the East China Sea Master was created by the old marquis of the Golden Knife?" Qi Ning asked.
Duan Canghai nodded and said, "Even now, most of the generals of the East China Sea Division are also drawn up by the old marquis of the golden sword. There was a saying in Dachu back then, the Jinyi Tiger and the Golden Knife Angry Jiao, that is, the Jinyi Qi family was the fierce tiger on the land of Great Chu, and the Golden Knife Tai family was the angry Jiao in the water. ā
Only then did Qi Ning come to his senses and said, "According to what you say, Jiang Suiyun is from the East China Sea, is he a person from the Golden Dao Marquis?" ā
Duan Canghai shook his head and said, "I don't know this. However, when Taizong was alive, he was ready to establish a prince, and the Golden Daohou had an excerpt, which is said to have asked Emperor Taizong to remember the promise to Emperor Taizu and set up the King of Huainan as the prince. After a pause, he said: "This time Jiang Suiyun was recommended by the King of Huainan, if Jiang Suiyun is really the person of the Golden Sword Marquis, the King of Huainan may not be recommended like this." ā
"Oh?" Qi Ning said: "Why is this? ā
Duan Canghai said: "Master Hou, you think, the Golden Dao Marquis is also the pillar of the empire, if he wants to recommend a person and go up with a fold, the emperor will definitely think about it more, so why let the King of Huainan come forward?" And for so many years, the Golden Daohou has tried his best not to have anything to do with the King of Huainan, and he has never asked the King of Huainan to recommend his people, if Jiang Suiyun is really the person of the Golden Daohou, I think the Golden Daohou will never let the King of Huainan recommend. ā
Qi Ning said: "According to what you say, the relationship between these two families is not too deep?" However, Lu Xiao, the secretary of the military department, is always the person of the Golden Sword Marquis, and he and the king of Huainan have not gone far. ā
Duan Canghai said with a smile: "Master Hou knows that among the six ministries now, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Punishment are considered to be the forces of the Loyal and Righteous Marquis, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry are biased towards the King of Huainan, and Yuan Laoshangshu of the Ministry of Rites is not offended, and the relationship between the two sides is not far, but it is not close, and the Ministry of War is the sphere of influence of the Marquis of the Golden Dao." ā
"In this way, there is no one in our Jinyi Qi family among the six departments?" Qi Ning frowned.
Duan Canghai said: "It's not like that, when the old marquis and the general were alive, they commanded the Qinhuai Legion, which was the Tiger God Battalion of the garrison capital, and it was also the sphere of influence of our Qi family, and the military was at its peak. After a pause, he said: "Let's just say that Dou Kui, the head of the household, when our Qi family fought on the front line, and had a lot of contact with the household and the military department, before Dou Kui, several Hubu Shangshu were not liked by the general, so the general recommended Dou Kui, who was quite safe, and the first emperor's recommendation to the general was immediately approved, Dou Kui became the head of the household, at that time, it seemed that the relationship between the household and the Jinyi Qi family was very good, but later Dou Kui made several mistakes, the general was upright, and he visited Dou Kui to the imperial court, and the king of Huainan took the opportunity to protect Dou Kui, That's where we are today. ā
Qi Ning nodded slightly, he also knew a little about the relationship between Dou Kui and the Qi family before.
"Lu Xiao and King Huainan got close, it shouldn't be to join King Huainan's party." Duan Canghai said: "Lu Xiao represents the Marquis of the Golden Dao, and what he does is naturally to safeguard the interests of the Golden Dao Tai family, if he is close to the King of Huainan, it can only mean that the two sides have the same interests." ā
Qi Ning suddenly realized, knowing that the situation was complicated, and many things were really not as seen on the surface, and said: "In this way, if Jiang Suiyun is not a person from the Golden Sword Marquis, but the King of Huainan has placed him in the military department, is that he want to use his own people to infiltrate the military department?" ā
"That's what it means." Duan Canghai said: "Although the King of Huainan is very powerful in the government and the opposition, what he lacks most is that he does not have the support of the military, but it is not as good as the black knife battalion in the hands of the Marquis of Zhongyi." ā
"By the way, I've always wanted to understand, what is the relationship between this Black Knife Battalion and the Sima family?" Qi Ning immediately asked, "Does the Black Knife Battalion belong to the commander of the Sima family?" ā
Duan Canghai explained: "When the general built the Black Scale Battalion and made great achievements, Sima Lan advised the first emperor that he could build another Black Knife Battalion to garrison in Gyeonggi as a model for all the soldiers and horses in Gyeonggi. When Emperor Taizong inherited the unification, the Sima family has always been loyal to the first emperor, the loyal Marquis Sima Lan is not only the chief adviser of Emperor Taizong, and the Sima family followed Emperor Taizong to quell the chaos, many children died in battle, Sima Lan's younger brother Sima Wei was the personal guard commander of Emperor Taizong, once in order to protect the first emperor, died in battle, so the first emperor has always attached great importance to the Sima family, and the current queen mother ..... The current queen mother is the eldest daughter of Sima Lan, the Marquis of Zhongyi. ā
Qi Ning knew that the four hereditary candidates had a deep relationship with the royal family, otherwise they would not be as powerful as they are today.
"Sima Lan advised to establish the Black Knife Battalion, and the first emperor agreed, but there were only a thousand people, in fact, no one thought that the Black Knife Battalion could really do anything at that time." Duan Canghai said: "But the Marquis of Zhongyi promoted Chu Cangge, and the Black Knife Battalion was built by Chu Cangge, although it was two years later than the Black Scale Battalion, but its combat effectiveness was not under the Black Scale Battalion, and now the combat effectiveness of the Black Knife Battalion is second to none among the soldiers and horses near Gyeonggi. ā
"It turns out that Chu Cangge was promoted by the Marquis of Zhongyi." Qi Ning nodded slightly: "It's no wonder that the Black Knife Battalion will obey the orders of the Marquis of Zhongyi." ā
"The Black Knife Camp is actually subordinate to the emperor, just like the Shenhou Mansion and the Yulin Camp, they are all directly under the emperor's orders, and the Marquis of Zhongyi has not been involved in much of the Black Knife Camp before." Duan Canghai said: "This is the cleverness of the Marquis of Zhongyi, which makes people feel that he does not interfere in the military, but once he really wants to employ people, the Marquis of Zhongyi gives an order, Chu Cangge will definitely obey, and the last time the Black Knife Battalion entered the city, it should be the meaning of the Marquis of Zhongyi." ā
At this time, Qi Ning felt the intricacies of the pattern in Beijing and was thoughtful.
Returning to the Jinyi Hou Mansion, it was already dusk, before arriving at the Hou Mansion, Zhao Wuxian took the first step and reported to the mansion, and when Qi Ning returned to the mansion, Gu Qinghan had already summoned the whole mansion to wait in the Hou Mansion compound, as soon as Qi Ning stepped into the mansion, everyone in the mansion knelt on the ground in shock, and congratulated in unison, and even Gu Qinghan twisted his waist and came forward to salute.
Qi Ning couldn't laugh or cry, but he also knew what it meant to take the position of the commander of the Black Scale Battalion to the Jinyi Marquis Mansion.
Gu Qinghan leaned into Qi Ning's ear and said in a low voice: "I'm ready for the reward, if you say it, I can also give everyone the reward." ā
Qi Ning was about to say that Sanniang looked at it, but instantly understood what Gu Qinghan meant, bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Everyone get up, everyone will work together in the future, let my Jinyi Hou Mansion prosper as before, and everyone will go to the third lady to receive the reward money." ā
Everyone thanked them again.
"Ning'er, follow me to the Buddha Hall." Gu Qinghan said softly: "Great news, you have to tell Mrs. Tai in person, so that Mrs. Tai will also be happy." ā
Qi Ning was stunned, after he came to the Jinyi Marquis Mansion, he had only seen Mrs. Tai twice, and he seemed to forget that there was still this old woman on weekdays.
There was no delay at the moment, the two of them went straight to the Buddha Hall, and when they got to the Buddha Hall, no one was disturbing here, it seemed very quiet, walking on the bluestone path, Qi Ning caught a glimpse of Gu Qinghan's face with joy that could not be concealed, and couldn't help laughing: "Sanniang, you have a leader, you seem to be happier than me." ā
Gu Qinghan glanced at Qi Ning, his bright face was charming, and he asked with a smile, "Are you unhappy?" ā
"Nope." Qi Ning shook his head and smiled: "When you inherited the Marquis that day, you didn't seem to be so happy. ā
"You are the eldest son of the general, and the position of marquis belongs to you." Gu Qinghan smiled like a beautiful flower, "But this leader of the Black Scale Battalion is not easy to come by, do you know that I have been panicking in my heart for half a day, and I always seem to be out of breath." ā
"Haha.....!" Qi Ning smiled: "Sanniang has no confidence in me? ā
Gu Qinghan glanced at Qi Ning, coquettish and moving, "It's not that I don't have confidence in you, it's just that your opponents are all powerful people, and Qu Yanzhi's ability is so high......!" ā
Seeing the delicate and moving appearance of this beautiful young woman, Qi Ning couldn't help but get closer, smelled the fragrance on her body, and chuckled: "You say this, you still don't have confidence in me, do you think Qu Yanzhi is better than me?" Sanniang, don't underestimate people in the future, since your Ning'er said that the position of commander belongs to me, then do what you say, what I want to get, I will definitely get it. As he spoke, his eyes glanced slightly, as if he couldn't sweep over Gu Qinghan's plump chest.
"Okay, okay, Ning'er does what she says, she can get what she wants." Gu Qinghan didn't seem to pay attention to Qi Ning's glance, she seemed to be in a really good mood, and said with a smile: "My family Ning'er is getting more and more promising, and those who look down on our Jinyi Marquis Mansion will no longer dare to despise us." "Hurry to the Buddha Hall, speed up your steps slightly, twist your waist, and sway your hips, like fallen leaves in the wind, and like fluttering flowers, swaying.
