Chapter Ninety-Six: Retaining People (Second Watch)
The last time she came to Beijing, Anping was her unexpected gain, and this time when she came to Beijing, Gu Qingqi was her unexpected gain.
An Huajin felt that she was worth it when she came to Beijing twice.
So, on the evening of the same day, An Huajin left Gu Qingqi in the An family's old mansion and said to him, "From today on, you can stay in the An family's old house, live in the guest house where your seventh brother used to stay, don't look back at home, wait for your seventh brother to come, I will talk to him." ”
Since this person was delivered to her, she would not let it go.
Gu Qingyan was surprised, "Little county lord, isn't this, okay?" ”
After all, he's not too young. If the seventh brother eats it, he can't bear it.
An Huajin understood what he meant, patted him on the shoulder, and laughed, "I treat soldiers like brothers." You just have to stop, don't think about etiquette. Since you are determined to go out of the door of the Gu family and follow your own path, you must first lose half of the rules and etiquette everywhere. ”
Gu Qingqi nodded, "Then I'll listen to you." ”
So, on the evening of the same day, Gu Qingyan went out of the yamen of the Ministry of Officials and came to the old house of the An family, and An Huajin made a proposal for Gu Qingyan to stay in the old house of the An family for the first time.
said that it was a proposal, but in fact, it was a domineering statement, since the person sent it, she stayed.
Gu Qingyan smiled dumbly, "What if I don't agree?" ”
"Then don't come?"
Gu Qingyan: "......"
He laughed angrily and reached out to touch An Huajin's forehead, "You really have a conscience!" I just sent the ninth brother to you for training, but one day, you will leave him without me? ”
An Huajin also smiled and said softly, "You can think that I cherish my talents very much." ”
"Oh? Do you have such a high opinion of my ninth brother? "Gu Qingyan has not had much contact with his brothers and sisters in the family over the years, and he has a relatively close relationship with Gu Qingqi, mainly because Gu Qingqi has a lively temperament and often pesters him, but he didn't expect that he would send people to An Huajin, and An Huajin would be treated like a jewel.
An Huajin smiled and said, "You Gu family, I'm afraid you really ignore him." In other words, the background of poetry and ritual transmission has caused you to pay more attention to literature than martial arts, and do not pay much attention to his talent in the art of war. Although his kung fu is mediocre, he has not been strictly taught by martial artists since he was a child, but he is really surprised by Yu Bingshu. ”
"Is that so?" Gu Qingyan recalled for a while, and it seemed that he had not taken the school entrance examination for his younger brother.
As An Huajin said, the Gu family values literature over martial arts, and the family of poetry and ritual transmission has hundreds of years of heritage, all of which are from the way of literature. Only this generation, suddenly came out of a light period, jumping to join the army, if it wasn't for a year or two, the family would not have paid attention to consent.
"That's right." An Huajin said seriously with him, "An Ping can be literate and martial, and he is talented and intelligent, but he still likes clerical work more, and your ninth brother, his kung fu is mediocre, but he is very talented and potential in using soldiers and strategies." You can convince Grandpa Gu to let him join the army, it's right, otherwise you will really bury him. ”
"So, you have a plan for him?" Gu Qingyan raised his eyebrows.
An Huajin nodded, "Although the Nanyang Army has millions of soldiers and horses, it lacks top-notch talents. I cultivated an Anping last month, but it wasn't enough. If your ninth brother is trained by me into the Nanyang Army. Then, with Anping, with him, and then with Shen Yuanzhi, the younger generation of useful people will temporarily put up a shelf. Otherwise, after my grandfather is a hundred years old, the uncles who were raised by my grandfather will also be old. There is no successor to the Nanyang Army, and the future is worrying. Now, it's not so worrying. ”
"You are planning to do this for the Nanyang Army, and you are also working hard." Gu Qingyan sighed lightly.
He knew that King Anyang had cultivated the successors of the younger generation since he was a child, that is, her two elder brothers, and the people who grew up with his two elder brothers. It's a pity that in the battle of Yuxueling eight years ago, his father and brother were all buried, and the capable ministers who followed his father and brother and the deputy generals who had just begun to show their prominence were also buried. This caused a fault line in the shortage of talents in the Nanyang Army.
If he hadn't been in contact with An Huajin for so long, he wouldn't have known about the many difficult situations of the Nanyang Army. His Majesty only cares about the loyalty of the An family and the Nanyang army, and the Chinese military officials of the DPRK only care about the power of the An family's million soldiers, who really cares about the real difficult situation of the Nanyang army?
Not only did she work hard to get military salaries, but she also tried her best to search for talents.
"yes, you've worked hard, so do you agree?" An Huajin felt that as long as Gu Qingyan was in charge, Old Man Gu would definitely agree, although the current Gu family, although Old Man Gu was still in charge of the outside world, in fact, she knew that Gu Qingyan was in charge of most things.
He, the heir cultivated by the Gu family, has long inherited the central rights of the Gu family.
"Agreed. Do I dare to disagree? Gu Qingyan smiled, "People can give it to you, but you have to get a clear path from Your Majesty." Tomorrow, I'll let my grandfather go to the palace again. ”
Gu family, if you go to the Nanyang Army, you can't just say that you will go, and you have to agree with Your Majesty.
"Your Majesty's cheating, grandpa can not mention it, but if Your Majesty sees grandpa again, after all, his face is embarrassed, such a trivial matter, in order to save face and shut up grandpa, Your Majesty should happily agree." Gu Qingyan speculated about the emperor's heart, "Moreover, Xiao Jiu is in the Gu family, at present, he is an out-of-character Gu family, and he is used to making trouble, His Majesty does not look at him in his eyes, and feels that he is not dry, and will not interfere imposedly." ”
"Done." An Huajin nodded.
If she hadn't taught the exam herself, it would have been hard to believe that the Gu family would have produced a descendant who was talented in the art of war. This is inconsistent with the teachings of the Gu family.
On the evening of the same day, Gu Qingyan came out of the An family's old house, returned to the Gu family, and told the old man Gu about An Huajin's arrangements for Gu Qingqi and his retention.
Old Man Gu was also surprised, "I know the ability of the little girl of the An family, Xiao Jiu is so capable?" Why does the little girl value it so much? ”
Gu Qingyan sighed lightly, "Grandpa, you have been watching me strictly since I was a child and neglecting my brothers. Xiao Jiu is very talented, and Lord An Xiao is very surprised. Nanyang Army lacks top-notch talents with smart minds, and Xiao Jiu's is exactly what she needs. ”
Old Man Gu was silent.
Over the years, since he enlightened Gu Qingyan and knew that his grandson was very good, his heart fell on him, and the old man of the Wang family also discovered that his grandson was talented and precocious, and after talking deeply with him, he thought about it for half a month, and finally agreed, and the two of them taught together.
Therefore, Gu Qingyan became today's Gu Qingyan, and before he reached the weak crown, he became the official secretary of the ministry.
For the other descendants of the Gu family, because they do not need to inherit the only position of the Gu family that supports the lintel of the whole family, they are not so strict as to stare everywhere.
In particular, the Gu family has always taken Gu Qing's martial arts practice in the army, and no one has taken it seriously.
Old Man Gu was silent for a moment, but smiled, "When I met Lord An Xiaojun, it was also Xiao Jiu's creation." If he can really find a way, then my Gu family, Wen has you, Wu has Xiaojiu, and he has no worries for a hundred years. ”
Gu Qingyan smiled faintly, "Grandpa gave people to Lord An Xiaojun and entered the Nanyang Army, so he is the person under the command of the An family." Don't think about giving him the pressure of the Gu family anymore. Don't say that Xiao Jiutong disagrees, Lord An Xiaojun first disagrees with you to meddle in Xiao Jiu's affairs in the future. Otherwise, after she made her decision today, she would not have directly left the person in the old mansion of Anjia, and would not even let her come back. ”
An Huajin's meaning is this meaning, Gu Qingyan understands it very well, and understands it very well.
Old Man Gu glared, "Stinky boy, you're changing your way to say I'm wrong!" ”
Gu Qingyan said softly, "The Gu family has me on top, it's enough." As for the brothers, if they are like Xiao Jiu and have their own ideas, just follow their hearts and do it, grandpa is also relieved, with me, the Gu family is the Gu family. ”
He had this confidence to say this.
Old Man Gu was choked, "Bastard, don't just say that you can't do it, if the Gu family is broken up by you, the brothers don't twist into a rope, and devote themselves to the Gu family, I'm not done with you." ”
Gu Qingyan smiled, "Grandpa doesn't believe me?" If you don't believe me? Why don't you come in for another person? ”
Old Man Gu waved his hand, "Get out!" ”
If he can change people, he still spends his days and nights staring at this grandson, afraid that he will make the slightest mistake? Afraid that he will throw away the burden of the Gu family and run away? Don't think he doesn't know, Wang Anzhi can travel out of Beijing, and he envy it.
Gu Qingyan sighed and stood up, "Since grandpa is not fooled, let's rest early!" Tomorrow, you have to go into the palace to mention Xiao Jiu's matter to Your Majesty. It's best, you tell Your Majesty that Xiao Jiu violated the Gu family's ancestral teachings and made trouble in the army, and you want to separate him from the Gu family's old mansion and set up a separate door. In this way, it is good for Xiao Jiu. Your Majesty need not be suspicious. ”
"In my opinion, it's the heart of that little girl in He'an's family!" Old Man Gu snorted coldly, "The little girl of the An family, she is really domineering and protects food, and when she enters the Nanyang Army, she is the An family?" Even if it's our family? It seems that you can't do it, you didn't coax that little girl, but listened to her everywhere. ”
Gu Qingyan didn't hear it, and left without looking back.
