After the early dynasty, the emperor first called Gu Qingyan to the south study alone.

The emperor was also very surprised by Gu Qingyan's proposal in the early court today, and wanted to explore his thoughts.

Gu Qingyan arched his hand and said softly, "The minister has been getting along with Lord An Xiaojun recently, and I have found out that the Nanyang Army does lack real talents. Therefore, now the courtiers are interested in being loyal to the country and pushing talents for the Nanyang Army, and the ministers feel that they cannot miss the talented people, otherwise it will be the loss of the Nanyang Army. ”

The Emperor nodded, "You have a point. ”

"However, the minister thinks that others are feasible, but my sixth cousin, Wang An, knows that he cannot join the Nanyang Army." Gu Qingyan said the real purpose of going around today.

"Oh? Why? The Emperor was surprised.

Gu Qingyan stood in the emperor's point of view, and said very much for His Majesty, "My sixth cousin has great talents, why doesn't Your Majesty keep him to be used in Beijing?" If you send him to the Nanyang Army, now there is an old prince in the Nanyang Army, and there is General Shen Xiao, and now a group of talented people will be selected, if my sixth cousin is sent again, wouldn't it make him useless? ”

In other words, the Nanyang Army was given an order to the Nanyang Palace, and in Beijing, it was given to His Majesty.

Here's the difference.

The emperor woke up, and immediately dispelled his hesitation about whether Wang Anzhi was sent to the Nanyang Army, Wang Anzhi is such a talent, or stay in the capital under his nose to be used by him and loyal to him, "You are right." ”

Gu Qingyan smiled, "The minister is also for the sake of the society, my sixth cousin, it is very suitable to enter the court." His Majesty sees him as good at martial arts, but he is even more outstanding in his writing and ink, and he is even better than his ministers. ”

The emperor smiled and was very pleased, "Huai'an, you are very good, although you recommend your cousin, you don't have to be humble." ”

Gu Qingyan also smiled, "Thank you for Your Majesty's appreciation of the minister." ”

The two monarchs and ministers were very harmonious, chatted a few more words, and completely settled the matter.

Out of the Nan study, Gu Qingyan flicked his sleeves and put away the smile on his face, Wang Anzhi wanted to join the Nanyang Army, so he cut off his way to the Nanyang Army. Your Majesty, he has been in the court for three years, and he knows more than Wang Anzhi.

After Gu Qingyan left the palace, he didn't go to the ministry, and went directly to the old mansion of the An family.

That happened last night, although An Huajin didn't blame him, but he still blamed himself in his heart, in the court this morning, with the commotion of the courtiers, he pondered that it was an opportunity to cut off Wang Anzhi's entry into the Nanyang army, so he did it. Before he could tell An Huajin about this, he naturally rushed to tell her.

An Huajin didn't sleep in the second half of the night yesterday, and after settling down those abolished dark piles for the doctor to diagnose and treat, she went to the study, she had to think about how to clean up Wang Anzhi and take revenge, otherwise Wang Anzhi really thought that she was a good bully, although this matter started because of Gu Qingyan, but she couldn't just forget it.

The door of the study was knocked twice, and An Hua brocade was stunned, "Is it Xiao Jiu?" ”

"It's me." Gu Qingyan said softly.

Now that he has entered the old house, he no longer needs to be told.

An Huajin was stunned for a moment, looked up at the window and looked out the sky, put down his pen, walked to the door, opened the door, and looked at Gu Qingyan, "After the morning and the future, you didn't go to the ministry?" How did you get here? ”

Gu Qingyan saw that her face was fine, and said softly, "There is one thing I want to inform you in advance, so I came over." ”

An Huajin turned sideways and let him in.

Gu Qingyan entered the study, sat down, and told An Huajin about the morning today.

An Huajin looked at him, "Your ultimate goal is to cut off Wang Anzhi's desire to join the Nanyang Army?" ”

"Yes."

An Huajin smiled, "Your Majesty has already agreed?" ”

"Hmm." Gu Qingyan saw An Huajin smile, and he also laughed, "Your Majesty's temperament, I still know a little bit, after I point out the pros and cons, Your Majesty will not be willing to let Wang Anzhi go to the Nanyang Army." ”

To put it bluntly, for the Nanyang Army that he can't control, even if the Nanyang Army is old and young now, His Majesty still has a little guard in his heart. And Wang Anzhi is not a cronie pinched by His Majesty now, he has great talent, so he is naturally reluctant to give it to Nanyang Palace.

Gu Qingyan also grasped this point.

"This is also a good way, not only to cut off Wang Anzhi's way, but also to select some people for the Nanyang Army. The children of the family, there are people as good as Xiao Jiu, and there must be people like him. An Huajin agreed, "Especially when I am the chief judge, I will accept it if I agree, and I don't want it if I don't agree, but I have a lot of autonomy." ”

"Hmm." Gu Qingyan nodded, "Your Majesty has not decreed, I will summon you into the palace in about the next two days to ask for your opinion." If you think it's possible, just say yes. ”

Anwar brocade head.

On the second day, the emperor summoned An Huajin to the palace.

After the emperor saw An Huajin, he proposed Gu Qingyan to her and asked her opinion.

An Huajin frowned, "Your Majesty, is there a limit to this number?" Or is it that as long as I like it, I can be included in the Nanyang Army? If you don't like it, you can not accept one? ”

When the emperor saw An Huajin say this, it seemed that there was a drama to agree, he didn't want to send a large number of people to the Nanyang Army, but he didn't expect that because of a Gu Qingji, the courtiers were so red-eyed, and he was also entangled by a group of old ministers These days There is no way, it just so happened that Gu Qingyan stood up and came up with this method, he thought it was very good.

"Little girl, what do you think is appropriate?" The emperor did not call the shots directly.

An Huajin said seriously, "Entering the Nanyang Army is not a trivial matter, I think it is better to set no restrictions." The children of the family in Beijing, most of them like to write, and there are still very few who like martial arts, and if they can't make up the number, they can't make up enough of it, right? Therefore, I thought that if Your Majesty agreed, I would have the final say on everything, whether I would accept ten people, or a hundred, or one person, or not one, and I would listen to me, and I would not want others to interfere, so I agreed. ”

"Little girl, you can really do this thing alone?" The emperor felt that this was not a trivial matter, this was a matter involving the mansions of the major families in Beijing, "I think it would be better for someone to assist you." ”

"No, I don't." An Huajin has a very good reason, "Since he chooses people for the Nanyang Army, he doesn't need others to interfere." Your Majesty rest assured, if it is really like Gu Qingji, I will also accept it, the Nanyang Army is short of talents, and I am not a fool, I will not let the talents go and not accept them. ”

"Okay, I'll promise you." The emperor thought for a moment, but still responded.

At this time, he also faintly realized that the little girl of the An family had a bit of the momentum of the old Nanyang King. It is worthy of being raised by the old Nanyang King. It's a pity that it is a daughter's family and cannot inherit the title of Nanyang Palace.

An Huajin out of the emperor's south study, after leaving the palace, not long after, the emperor issued a holy decree, three days later, the martial arts test, the selection of proficient in martial arts and the way of transporting troops of the family children, each family, can produce one person to participate in the election. Only the small county lord of the martial arts test will be in charge, but the military department will select a few people to cooperate and assist, and the contest will be up to the point, control the scene, and there will be no chaos.

As soon as this holy decree came out, although the civil and military officials and the major families behind them were not very satisfied, they also knew that they could win this martial arts trial, and it was Gu Qingyan who supported the suggestion in the court, otherwise they would not have let the emperor agree in such a short time, let alone let An Huajin relax, this opportunity can be said to be hard-won.

Because none of the major families knew what the constitution of the martial arts test was, there was only a holy decree, and there was no statute to refer to, and for a while, the major families did not know how to select the most suitable heirs in the clan.

So, everyone set their eyes on the old house of Anjia.

On the same day, some people who had a relationship with the An family's old house came to the door with gifts, wanting to go through the back door from An Huajin, or listen to her thoughts and preferences.

An Huajin had already expected it, so when she came out of the palace, she closed the door to greet guests, no matter who it was, she didn't see her. It's useless for anyone to go through the back door, and she won't give face.

The people who have eaten the closed door soup have been walking around with the Nanyang Royal Mansion for many years, and there are also those who have always had a general friendship with the Nanyang Royal Mansion.

The news in Beijing naturally can't be hidden from the emperor.

The emperor shook his head and smiled when he heard this, "Xiao An'er has such a temperament, this time, I don't know how many people I will offend." ”

Gonggong Zhang echoed with a smile on the side, "The people in Nanyang Wangfu are all of the same character, and Lord An Xiaojun is with Old Prince An." If the old prince is in Beijing today, I am afraid that he will do the same. An family, except for His Majesty's face, no one's face should be moved. ”

The emperor likes to hear this, "Well, that's the reason. ”

However, the emperor still thought of Gu Qingyan, "No, what you said is not right, the Gu family's face will be given to the An family." ”

The shopkeeper smiled, "After all, the Gu family has a marriage contract, and during the time the little county lord is in Beijing, the Gu family does attach great importance to the little county lord." ”

The emperor nodded and sighed, "It's right that the Gu family takes a fancy to her, but now I am a rare wish." ”

Gonggong Zhang lowered his head and stopped answering.
