Chapter 31: Bold Proposals

Gu Yange returned to the house with the news and told Mrs. Xie about the matter first, but Mrs. Xie was very happy. Gu Yange only thought about it for a moment and understood, if she persuaded Xiao Yongye to take charge of the three armies, the emperor would definitely remember this merit and make up for it appropriately on Xie Junrui.

Gu Yange originally wanted to go back in a few days, after all, at this time, the Jingwei Mansion must have been full of people, and I am afraid that it will not work to join in the fun at this time. Unexpectedly, Xie Houye and Mrs. Xie led the "first son" to come that night, and persuaded her very earnestly one by one, what to share the emperor's worries, to think for the border pass, and to follow Prince Ke's last wishes. Anyway, the family is reasonable, and the feelings are also shared, but in the end, they are like loyal to the monarch and the country, and they have no selfish intentions.

Gu Yange listened silently, everyone said Can she please Xiao Yongye, if she doesn't move, I don't know if these people will be disappointed. Thinking so, the visit still has to be visited, so many people have not been invited, and she does not have the dream of hitting the blow.

The next day, I voted for a post, saying that I went to visit the Jingwei Mansion on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year three days later, and it was not a big deal for the county lord to pass the mansion, after all, it was the Jingwei Mansion, a second-class duke with deep military merits. But please ask the people in the Wei Gong's Mansion to start preparing on the day they received the post, sprinkling and sweeping inside and outside, the flowers in the yard have also been turned over in a new way, and the flower hall in the inner hall, which has not been touched for many years, has also been renovated.

The old lady Xiao in the mansion also ordered to go down, to prepare well, and be sure to entertain Gu Yange. Old Madam Xiao can see that this son not only misses the past, but also has a deep affection for Prince Ke in his heart. Jingwei Gong is in Beijing all the year round, and Prince Ke is not only a heroic general to Xiao Yongye, but also like a father.

On this day, Gu Yange is going to the Jingwei Mansion, it stands to reason that there is no need to wait outside the mansion when there are people waiting in the Jingwei Mansion, but when Gu Yange got off the carriage, she saw everyone outside the mansion to welcome her arrival, and she was slightly stunned in the carriage, so she raised her head and looked at everyone with a smile. walked in front of Xiao Yongye and Mrs. Xiao, and bowed shallowly: "I've seen Gong Jingwei, I've seen Old Madam Xiao, if I knew that Lao and the two were waiting outside the mansion this time, I wouldn't dare to come, how can I afford such a pomp?" ”

Xiao Yongye smiled, but Old Madam Xiao grabbed Gu Yange, pulled it and walked inside, and said as she walked: "County Lord, the old body misses you, you were a frequent visitor to our mansion back then, and the county lord saw less when he entered the palace." Since you married Xie Xiaohou last year, we haven't met yet, and we must talk well when we come back. ”

"Yes, I'm not here today, I'm here to get close to the old lady." Old Madam Xiao's just right enthusiasm made Gu Yange very useful, this old lady Xiao exuded a sassy atmosphere, and she was also at the border back then, and guarded with Jing Weigong. Old Madam Xiao's maiden family is also a royal family for several generations, and she still has a graceful and luxurious bearing, but Old Madam Xiao is not dressed luxuriously, and her eyebrows and smiles are full of affinity.

Xiao Yongye followed on the side, Gu Yange then looked up, and as soon as the two met their eyes, they both smiled, of course, Old Madam Xiao also saw it and smiled: "County Lord, when you were young, you also said that you would be the lady of the eternal night when you grew up!" Alas...... It's just that I didn't expect the words to still be in my ears, and in the blink of an eye, one of you got married, and the other got married, which is really amazing. ”

Gu Yange's expression was stunned, saying that this is not good, looked at Xiao Yongye, but found that Xiao Yongye's expression had not changed, he was still smiling very lightly, walking calmly, and then he turned to look at Old Madam Xiao and said, "Alas, is it...... That's not Jing Weigong's, he threw this agreement in the back of his head first. ”

Old Madam Xiao was happy, Gu Yange came back generously, but took advantage of her thoughts: "County Lord, that's why you just came back like this, if you changed to a girl from another family, you would already be blushing." This is what we want, let's not like the daughter of the door to be so delicate and twisted, which makes people very annoyed when they see it. ”

Gu Yange raised her head, smiling even brighter, the first sun shone on her face, covering the fragrant jasmine on the branches, and the flowers in the whole courtyard were blooming very brightly, but there seemed to be no kind of flower that could bloom with Gu Yange's delicate atmosphere. Old Madam Xiao saw it even more heartily, and regretted why she didn't expect to marry the county lord on the top of the emperor's heart to be her daughter-in-law.

But I can't remember, I also mentioned it at the beginning, but at that time, the original owner was not happy to see this family business, and the original owner didn't want to marry someone who had been stationed at the border for many years like Prince Ke. The original owner just understood the meaning, and the emperor naturally wouldn't brush her, so the emperor ordered the official media to hire another girl, but Gu Yange categorically couldn't imagine that this refusal actually refused to give birth to two tragic lives.

Old Mrs. Xiao knew that Gu Yange came with a mission, so she only accompanied Gu Yange to drink tea for a while and left, leaving a message before leaving, asking Gu Yange to have lunch here, and they would talk about themselves in the afternoon.

After Mrs. Xiao left, the entire flower hall was quiet, except for one who was waiting for tea, the rest of the girls had been taken away by Mrs. Xiao. Gu Yange looked up at Xiao Yongye, and saw that he was drinking tea with a focused expression, as if the tea was unobtainable and delicious. Gu Yange couldn't help but pick up the tea and tasted it, tea is good tea, a person like Xiao Yongye, what kind of good tea should be drunk, Xiao Yongye drank a full face, Gu Yange couldn't help asking: "General Xiao, does this tea taste very special?" ”

Xiao Yongye smiled faintly when he heard this, this man may really smile more, and there is much less coldness on his body when he smiles. I saw Xiao Yongye put down the tea, looked at Gu Yange and said: "The border is bitter and poor, and the people are not easy to live. ”

Gu Yange lowered his head and smiled slightly, Xiao Yongye's tone when he said this sounded like he was yearning for that bitter and poor place, and even more yearning for that kind of life. Yes, people like Xiao Yongye were born to gallop across the field, and they are not used to living in a rich place like the capital. Thinking about it like this, Gu Yange had an idea: "General Xiao knows that the emperor asked me to come to persuade General Xiao to take charge of the three armies, so should General Xiao go or not?" ”

Xiao Yongye was very happy to hear it, this was Gu Yange's persuasion, he thought Gu Yange would say something, but he didn't want to be so straightforward, and asked so casually, but instead made the matter of being in charge of the three armies lightly: "Didn't Yan'er say that the general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years, and if he didn't return, he would not return if he wanted to return in the future." ”

Gu Yange already had an idea before he came, the unification of government decrees is dangerous at any time, and the solution is not difficult, but for people in this era, some can't get around it: "General Xiao told me that if there were no such concerns, would the general be willing to fight for the people of the Jing Dynasty, and would he be willing to take command for the soldiers and civilians at the border pass?" ”

Xiao Yongye was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and unconsciously expressed his pride: "One day in the army, I will be a soldier for life, and I would rather die on the battlefield than succumb to old glory." ”

Gu Yange high-fived, Xiao Yongye was really born for the battlefield, if he was really bound in this capital, I am afraid that he will be really wronged: "Okay, with General Xiao's words, my father can also rest assured." My father guarded the border all his life, and finally recaptured the sixteen border passes, and I can't watch the land that my father once fought bloodily be occupied by the Hui Yi people little by little. ”

"It seems that Yan'er has an idea, so Yan'er said, what is the way?" Xiao Yongye decided to listen to it, although he didn't think that a little girl who had lived in the palace for a long time would have any good ideas, but Gu Yange's confident words made him very interested.

Gu Yange smiled and spit out four words: "The government decree divides the rule!" ”

Xiao Yongye pondered the meaning of these four words, but she didn't know very clearly, Gu Yange smiled, this belongs to the category of modern military system reform, and she may not really understand, and she only knows the general concept. But as a soldier who has been fighting for a long time, she believes that Xiao Yongye can understand as soon as she hears it: "General Xiao, the political refers to the commanding power, and the command refers to the command, appointment and dismissal power." Of course, General Xiao is a special case, and it can only be used here for General Xiao, if it is promoted, I am afraid that it will be chaotic. In fact, Gu Yange herself didn't understand, how to implement the command power in the hands of others, and the command and appointment and dismissal rights of the army alone, she was puzzled for a long time and had no answer, so she could only rely on Xiao Yongye to comprehend it by herself.

Gu Yange didn't understand, but Xiao Yongye's eyes were bright when he heard it, just like when he had no way, he found that turning a corner was the way, and suddenly he suddenly became clear: "Yan'er, you have a good idea, the government is led by the emperor, and the order is issued by the general, although the two are auxiliary to each other, but they also supervise each other, this seems to be the overseer, the authority is above the overseer, but it is not as broad as the overseer." In this way, the military and political affairs are equivalent to being in the hands of the emperor, and the emperor can naturally rest assured. ”

Gu Yange was in the clouds, Xiao Yongye's words, she still didn't understand, okay, the idea was borrowed, she was naturally like a duck listening to thunder. She only remembered that the army had political commissars and military commissars, which probably meant the same thing. She was confused, but Xiao Yongye seemed to be thinking more clearly, Gu Yange was at ease, as long as the person who should understand understood, she would continue to be confused.

As soon as Xiao Yongye understood, Gu Yange said again: "General Xiao, don't act in a hurry, since you have already refused so many times, why not refuse again." These days, you must not go out, and then hand over the Chen, thank the emperor for his kindness, cherish the border people, and never mention the matter of the division of the government. ”

Xiao Yongye smiled brightly, and when he looked at Gu Yange, his face was shining with the sunlight outside the window, and he actually had a gentle feeling: "Yan'er is getting smarter......

It's just that in these words of praise, there seems to be some helplessness and pity!
