Chapter 284: A Difficult Year for Unification (2)
After Gu Yanfeng finished talking with the Daning envoy with his heart, he hurried to Gu Qingfeng's residence after roughly agreeing on the matters.
Gu Qingfeng looked at Gu Yanfeng's worried appearance and said, "What is my brother worried about?" Worried about Ning'er? ”
"Your Majesty asked Ning'er to take the tax inspector to the southwest, I don't know much, and it's not easy to ask, so I came here to ask you." Gu Yanfeng saw that there was no one around, and he couldn't take care of etiquette.
"Ning'er is time to go through the experience, she is already twenty-seven years old, although she has sat in the position of the waiter of the Ministry of Civil and Commercial Affairs by virtue of her own ability, but in the eyes of everyone, she still came to this position by virtue of her brother's shadow, Your Majesty arranged this way to recognize Ning'er's ability, and also want Ning'er to stand up and show her ability." Gu Qingfeng comforted, she understood Gu Xifeng's concerns, how could there be parents who didn't care about their children.
"It's just that Gu Ning only has five thousand inspectors in his hands, what can he do? And the one who took over the military affairs of the southwest was Zheng Xi, who was known as the 'Living Hades'! Gu Yanfeng always felt that Gu Ning was useless in the past, and he might cause big things.
"Brother, have you forgotten what happened to you some time ago? Your Majesty is compensating you and compensating us Gu, you have to think about this. Gu Qingfeng's face became gloomy.
Some time ago, Gu Qingfeng was very worried about the impact on the Gu family, but Meng Yan handled it very well, and summoned Gu Yanfeng to Changsha to participate in the military and political affairs, which alleviated the intensification of the contradictions in Chengdu and put the Gu family in security protection, and now the only Gu family disciple Gu Ning who stayed in Chengdu is also going to be sent to the front line, which shows Meng Yan's attitude, and he still trusts the Gu family, and Su Qing's letter from Chengdu also made her feel a lot more at ease, the two houses have been rectified, and Quartz and others have also settled down a lot.
"Deng Ang also came up yesterday, although he was not dissatisfied with His Majesty's handing over the southwest military affairs to Zheng Xi, but he only transferred less than 80,000 people to him, it seems that Deng Ang is also dissatisfied." Gu Yanfeng is still in an uneasy state of mind.
Gu Qingfeng shook his head after hearing this: "Brother, this is your mistake, Deng Ang wants to defend the south with all his might, after he took over the Southern Bureau, he wrote to His Majesty that he wants Jingyi to take charge of the southwest independently, 80,000 people is already Deng Ang's limit." ”
Gu Yanfeng thought for a while and then suddenly smiled, and said: "It's me who thinks about it too much, there is indeed such a thing, but Your Majesty's will this afternoon is indeed a little strange, I think it is very inappropriate, do you think it is a reminder of Your Majesty?" ”
"Wrong? What's wrong? Gu Qingfeng wondered.
"Ye Bohuai disappeared after crossing the southwest, Jianning is still in our hands, let Tu Shanshan take over the logistics command of the Southern Bureau, and Xiahou Xin take over the deputy general staff of the Southern Bureau, this is no problem, but is it too risky for Your Majesty to set up a five-person team in the southwest?"
Gu Qingfeng pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty set up the Southwest Bureau, with Zheng Xi as the commander-in-chief of the Southwest Bureau, and even Hu Shuai has no opinion, what's wrong?" ”
"Let's not talk about Zheng Xi's problem for the time being, let's just say that His Majesty's appointment of others, Du Jun, deputy commander of the Southwest Bureau, Ning Er, chief of general staff, deputy chief of general staff transferred King of Nanzheng County, and logistics commander transferred Shang Feng, none of these four people reached the age of thirty, isn't it too child's play."
Gu Qingfeng chuckled and said, "Brother, don't worry too much, you have also been in charge of Shangshu Ling for many years, haven't you seen Your Majesty's intentions?" ”
Gu Yanfeng looked embarrassed, but he really couldn't understand it in his heart, and asked, "Please show the queen mother." ”
Gu Qingfeng smiled slightly, poured a glass of water for Gu Yanfeng, and said, "Brother, drink some water, the corners of your mouth are dry." ”
Gu Yanfeng's face instantly turned slightly red, and he hurriedly drank the water in one sip and waited for Gu Qingfeng to speak, he felt that His Majesty was not wrong to use young people, but whether it was the second generation in the army or in government affairs, it was still a little hot, whether it was Huo Youji, Long Tingfei and other high-ranking generals in the army, or government masters like Yuan Huaiying and Fang Keming, they were still some experienced, and they were still in a hurry to use the third generation.
"Brother thinks Your Majesty is too anxious, right?" Gu Qingfeng said slowly, this is also the task that Meng Yan gave her, Meng Yan had long expected that Gu Yanfeng would have opinions on the use of Gu Ning and others, so he explained the reason to Gu Qingfeng after the meal, but as His Majesty, he had no responsibility to explain to Gu Yanfeng, and he couldn't explain it, so he let Gu Qingfeng do it for him as his sister.
"Isn't it?"
Gu Qingfeng adjusted his breath, and then whispered: "Brother, Your Majesty is very dissatisfied with the incident of the students of the two academies attacking the Begonia Garden, and the 'Flame' has gone too far, Huo Youji is His Majesty's son-in-law, and he has been absorbed by the 'Flame', so that the second generation in the army and the middle of the court will be eroded too seriously by the 'Flame', which will be unfavorable in the future, so Your Majesty will use the third generation." ”
"Your Majesty has no intention of removing the 'Flame'?"
"'Flame' is at least loyal and patriotic, their behavior is too intense, so Your Majesty wants to put in some different voices to fight them, so that they can be properly restrained, after all, you are good, Yan Gong is good, you will grow old slowly, you also know what the situation of Qing Shuai in the army is, if Qing Shuai is not there one day, Tiger Shuai does not have the courage of Qing Shuai to suppress the people led by Quartz."
"But the Southwest Bureau formed by His Majesty is full of people in the army!"
"Hahaha! Brother, Yuan Huaiying and Fang Keming will be the ones in charge of the center in the future, do you think the southwest can only use soldiers? The southwest is backed by Chengdu, even if the new logistics commander of the Southwest Bureau Shang Feng, what kind of background is he, born in the two houses, in Xitai to review the edict, and then in your Shangshutai as an edict, the year before last the prince transferred him to the cabinet to coordinate the affairs of the Ministry of Civil and Commercial Affairs, do you think he just went to do the logistics command? ”
Gu Yanfeng began to think in his heart, this Shang Feng is still familiar to him, and his ability is good, if it weren't for the occurrence of the "Begonia Garden" incident, he would have planned to transfer him to the local area to be a state official, but now His Majesty has put him in charge of the logistics of the Southwest Bureau, and the logistics that the Southwest Bureau relies on must be from Chengdu, that is to say, His Majesty intends to let him take over the Ministry of Civil and Commercial Affairs, and it is also that Tu Shan Yinyuan will enter the cabinet sooner or later.
"Well, Your Majesty is far-sighted, if I go and say that Your Majesty is really reckless."
Gu Qingfeng nodded, very satisfied with Gu Yanfeng's change, so he continued: "Speaking of Ning'er, you were actually dissatisfied with letting him enter the court as an official back then, Ning'er is still martial, and has been practicing our family martial arts with me, and now it has reached the realm of Xiao Zhoutian, I also asked Tu Shan Shangshu, and his evaluation of Ning Er is that the inspection and inspection are very good, but the handling of government affairs is a little worse, so Tu Shan Shangshu has always let him take charge of inspection affairs." ”
Gu Yanfeng smiled unnaturally, it was always embarrassing to be poked in the depths of his heart, and this person was his sister or the queen of the dynasty, he didn't know his son, but he only had this only son, and he always didn't want to put him in danger.
Seeing that Gu Yanfeng was uncomfortable, Gu Qingfeng smiled and said: "Brother, Ning'er has his own ideas, let's not hinder his good, do you know how many letters he wrote me to serve on the front line?" ”
Gu Yanfeng nodded vigorously, then grinned and said, "That's it, let him go, I can't take care of it!" ”
"And Du Jun, his ability Qingshuai has made a comment, otherwise His Majesty would not let him be stationed for one side, he has not been used in the past few years, but also to wear off his sharpness, as for the king of Nanzheng County, this is his most proud child among His Majesty's nephews, although he is the concubine of the king of Qin, but his ability is much stronger than that of the prince of Qin, otherwise why do you think His Majesty would want to make him the king of Nanzheng County?"
Gu Yanfeng gasped, he really deserved the reputation of keeping a hand in doing things, taking one step and looking at three steps, no matter how big the mess was, he could take out the spare one from the clip bag.
Meng Jinghe, the king of Nanzheng County, is indeed a rare talent, only twenty-four years old to lead the army, although Meng Huan pressed him and could not hide his ability, since the age of seventeen he led the Qin Wang Sanwei to confront the Ning army many times and never fell behind, this is one of them; The second is that during the expedition of King Qin, Meng Jinghe cooperated with Ji Hong, the governor of Hanzhong Province, to deal with civil affairs and grain, grass and ordnance matters, and won Ji Hong's trust, and he repeatedly asked Meng Jinghe to join the Hanzhong Provincial Civil and Commercial Department.
This is a talented person who is both civil and military, the most important thing is that Meng Jing and his father's temperament are the same, never mixed with things other than duties, even his fief Nan Zheng is on the letter sent by His Majesty to manage the officials, the annual income of the fief in addition to the expenses in the palace are used in the rest of the treasury to the Hanzhong Provincial Treasury, which even his father can not do, Meng Huan once once drunk and said: "If He'er is a son-in-law, he can prosper the Qin Wangfu for a hundred years." ”
It is because of this sentence that Meng Jingping, the son of the King of Qin, was greatly annoyed, and repeatedly found fault with his younger brother, when everyone thought that Meng Jinghe would tolerate it, this Meng Jinghe was arguing with reason, and Meng Huan had no choice but to let Meng Jingping return to Chengdu Qin Wangfu, which shows Meng Jinghe's character and ability.
After thinking about it, his heart was open, Gu Yanfeng got up and clasped his fists and said, "Brother Wei, I'm going to prepare to leave for Bihai City in the next two days." ”
Gu Qingfeng didn't stop him, and said: "Brother is not a young man anymore, be careful all the way, if you can't save your life first." ”
Gu Yanfeng has been worried about the "Begonia Garden" incident since he came to Changsha, coupled with today's arrangements for Gu Ning, he is always very uncomfortable, but what Gu Qingfeng said made him sweep away the haze, and returned to the true colors of the prime minister of Daxuan, and said with a hearty smile: "Hahaha!" Don't worry about me, I'm the Taifu of Daxuan, even if I go to Nanjiang City and the Nanyue Imperial Court, what can I do?! ”
Looking at the figure of the domineering Gu Yanfeng leaving, Gu Qingfeng smiled helplessly, and then Meng Yan came out of the room and whispered, "He wants to open?" ”
"It's all said and done, if he still can't think about it, he's really old." Gu Qingfeng said lightly.
"Alas, Bihai City and his party will not go too well, this year's Central Plains will not be easy, fortunately, my brother's heart is still there." Meng Yan sighed and replied.
"Let the third child accompany him." Gu Qingfeng said suddenly.
Meng Yan's heart sank and said, "What are you still afraid of? ”
Gu Qingfeng turned his head to look at Meng Yan with tears in his eyes, and sobbed: "The incident in Chengdu is a wake-up call, no matter how hard you try, now is not the time to offend them, so let Ke'er stay away." ”
Meng Yan said angrily: "Qingfeng! You've let me down so much! ”
Gu Qingfeng saw that Meng Yan was annoyed, and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Ke'er is your child and His Royal Highness the King of Shu of the Great Xuan Dynasty, but he is also my child, I don't want him to fall into the ranks of the competition for the throne!" ”
Meng Yan was stunned for a moment, and after a long while, he stepped forward to help Gu Qingfeng up and said, "I know what you're thinking, Qingfeng!" You and I have been married for many years, why do you want to get to this point! ”
"The concubine, please let the King of Shu accompany Zheng Guogong to Bihai City!" Gu Qingfeng was resolute.
Meng Yan looked at Gu Qingfeng with complicated eyes and couldn't speak for a long time.
