Chapter 152: Leader's Scheming
Zhang Yi'an got up and filled the teacup in front of Gu Shun, "What does Brother Gu think of what that Qu Laosan said?" ”
"I also think what the Demon Cult is doing is pure nonsense, but I'm very interested in the Great Han Arsenal left behind by the previous dynasty."
"I'm not afraid of Brother Gu's jokes, when I was young, I dreamed that I got the treasure map of the Han arsenal and found the treasure of the previous dynasty. It's a pity that I woke up from a dream while counting the treasures.
This arsenal has not been seen for decades, and there are countless treasure hunters who cross the mountains and mountains every year, but there is still no whereabouts of any arsenal. ”
"Well, when I walk the rivers and lakes in the future, I will also look for the hiding place of this arsenal, maybe I will find out." Gu Shun is quite ambitious.
"Then I wish Brother Gu to find the Great Han Arsenal as soon as possible. By the way, Brother Gu came to me today for something, now I can always talk about it. Zhang Yi'an couldn't wait.
Gu Shun opened his mouth and said, "Brother Yi'an, I want to ask you for one thing. ”
"Just say anything, as long as it is your order, Brother Gu, I will definitely do it."
"I remember Brother Yi An said before, I can't practice martial arts because I am weak, and with Brother Yi'an's talent, it is too condescending to do business. So I hope that Brother Yi An can go to study, get a reputation, and come back to be the prefect of Jiangnan City in the future. ”
"What? Be the prefect! Zhang Yi'an was dumbfounded, suspecting that he had misheard, "How is this possible, the Great Qi Imperial Court does not allow Han people to hold local power, how can a place like Jiangnan with rich fish and rice let a Han person be an official."
Besides, when it comes to the important task of being a prefect, it should be done by Brother Gu, Yi An came from a humble background and didn't dare to overstep his bounds, Brother Gu really tortured me. ”
Gu Shun explained unexpectedly: "Brother Yi An doesn't know, the Hu court implements a hereditary system of official positions, after the death of the father, the son inherits the father's official position, and the father dies and the son succeeds to the prince.
But my godfather, as the prefect of Jiangnan City, has no children under his knees, and he wants me to be the prefect.
When the prefect of Jiangnan Province has complicated things and a thousand things, you know that I am the most afraid of trouble, but my godfather is determined to let me be the prefect, but he puts all his hopes on me, and I can't shirk it, so I want to hand over this errand to you Brother Yi'an.
In order to avoid letting others fall into the tongue, you always have to go to the Jinshi exam and come back, so that you can sit on the position of the prefect of Jiangnan City openly. ”
Zhang Yi'an was stunned when he heard this, he didn't believe that this kind of big pie was smashed on his head like this.
"Brother Gu, Yi Anjian must not ask for the position of prefect, it is enough for me to stay by my side to assist Brother Gu. Brother Gu can value me so much, Yi An is ashamed to be ashamed, he will live up to his high expectations and do his best to gain fame. ”
Gu Shun was secretly happy in his heart, "What I want is your words." ’
Gu Shun now urgently needs to cultivate his own forces and cronies. It is said that two fists are invincible to four hands, and if he wants to lie flat, he must always have the capital to lie flat.
Whether it is the Demon Sect Leader, the Martial Arts Alliance Master, or the Jiangnan City Prefect, any one of them is a hot potato, not to mention that Gu Shun got together all of a sudden, and he didn't know if this luck was too good or too bad.
The Demon Sect is about to return to the Central Plains, and it won't be long before my father will start a war against Daqi.
The Hu people's Daqi ass has just been hot, so naturally he will not let himself be overthrown, and will definitely go all out to deal with the demon sect and the forces that rebel against him, and the three-way melee may be staged in the Central Plains.
Gu Shunke didn't want to get involved in this melee at all.
And creating a force that can be driven by himself can not only provide a buffer backing, but also make him more comfortable in the chaos of the world.
This plan Gu Shun has been brewing for a long time, but because he was too young before, there were no available people around.
Although there are many people around Gu Shun, whether it is the people of the Dart Bureau or the people of the Demon Sect, they are all the forces of their parents.
Although they can obey their orders, they are not the ones he cultivated and promoted after all, and they will have a lot of scruples when they use them, and the most important thing is the lack of absolute loyalty to him.
Seeing that the Demon Sect was about to launch an operation in Jingzhou, and the world would be in chaos, Gu Shun couldn't drag it out any longer, and he had to act immediately.
Bringing Zhang Yi'an under his command is a good choice at the moment.
So from Gu Shun personally going to Zhang's Mansion to pick him up, there were also people along the way who greeted him with warmth and treated him with courtesy, and then to Xu Zhi just now, making him the gimmick of the prefect of Jiangnan City.
These are all the means used by Gu Shun to make Zhang Yi'an completely surrender to himself.
From the Zhang family's suggestion that Pei En deliberately befriend him in order to win him over, all this has begun to be carried out in an orderly manner.
And the reason why Gu Shun chose Zhang Yi'an as his first subordinate has multiple considerations, the most important thing is that Zhang Yi'an is very capable and young, and his mental skills and strategies have far surpassed his peers.
With such a character and ability, coupled with a little ambition, he will definitely become a subordinate with unlimited potential.
He belongs to the concubine in Zhang's mansion, and his identity and background determine that he takes refuge in himself, which is the best and only choice for him at the moment.
Gu Shun has the ability to read minds, and he is not worried that his subordinates are ambitious and scheming, as long as he can use it for himself, Gu Shun can take him under his command and entrust him with appointment.
For Zhang Peien, Zhang Yi'an was originally a tool, after Gu Shun married Zhang Guiyi, Zhang Yi'an naturally lost his role, and when the time came, he was sent to guard the Zhang family's family business and ancestral property, and this life was like this.
By listening to Zhang Yi'an's heart, Gu Shun had long read that he was not treated well in the Zhang family, and even he and his mother were often excluded, which was equivalent to pushing Zhang Yi'an towards his side.
Gu Shun didn't have to worry, he would betray himself for the sake of the so-called family interests.
Compared with working hard for the excluded family, the benefits that can be obtained by taking refuge in Gu Shun are like heaven and earth, as a smart person, which is more important, and where his future will go, Zhang Yi'an can naturally weigh it clearly.
It can be said that for Gu Shun and Zhang Yi'an, this is a win-win choice.
Gu Shun saw that the wood had been completed, and he said: "Brother Yi'an's words just now are sincere, if I give you a chance to follow me, become my subordinate, or even leave the family, how should you choose." ”
Zhang Yi'an put on a mature expression that obviously did not match his age: "Yi'an said just now, as long as it is arranged by Brother Gu, I will definitely do it."
Thank you Brother Gu for being so respectful and trusting me, Brother Gu must have known that everything was arranged by my father. Including befriending Brother Gu, it was just a task given to me by my father.
However, I didn't expect that Brother Gu would treat me sincerely and give me such a valuable position.
Yi An is just a concubine of the Zhang family, humble and lowly, he can be so valued and appreciated by Brother Gu, I can't repay the kindness of knowing it, and I am willing to do my best to assist Brother Gu. Don't seek to soar, as long as you live better than in the Zhang family, it is enough. ”
Gu Shun listened to these heartfelt words, and knew that Zhang Yi'an was not saying polite words, "It's enough for Brother Yi'an to have this intention." In the future, after my godfather passes on the prefect of Jiangnan City to me, I will hand it over to you, Brother Yi'an. ”
When Zhang Yi'an heard this, he didn't know what to say, so he could only choke speechlessly, his eyes were red, and he was deeply touched, and he resolutely refused to accept it after a long time.
"Don't be in a hurry to excuse yourself, I'm not just doing this for you and me, but also for the people of Jiangnan City.
I am not born to be an official, and I am born in martial arts, and I need to take care of the dart bureau and the commercial house, and I am far less handy than Brother Yi'an when it comes to dealing with people's livelihood and suffering.
So this prefect still wants you to be it, just for the people of Jiangnan City, for your biological mother, and for helping me share the pressure. ”
Zhang Yi'an was very impressed by these words, he immediately knelt on the ground, and said with great respect: "Yi'an understands, I will study history books and strategies hard in the future, work hard to gain fame, strive to become Brother Gu's right-hand man, and do my best to assist Brother Gu." ”
Gu Shun finally breathed a sigh of relief, the hot potato of the prefect of Jiangnan City was finally sent out, and he also helped himself get a subordinate back, this deal can be said to be quite cost-effective.
For him, the prefect of Jiangnan City is not even a chicken rib, and his most important goal at the moment is to cultivate and break through the fifth part of the ancient god true scripture, and at the same time collect as many martial arts as possible in this world to create his own exercises.
If you can bring the exercises back to the main world, it will be worth the trip.
He didn't have time to spend on such an errand as a prefect.
After all, the prefect is an important local position, and he has a close relationship with the Hu court of Daqi, and his father is running around all day long in order to overthrow the rule of the Hu people of Daqi, and he doesn't want to be too deeply involved with the Hu people other than his godfather.
As a Han Chinese, he has always been resistant to the Hu people.
Just let Zhang Yi'an go to be the prefect, and at the same time win the hearts of the people, he can also firmly control Jiangnan City in his own hands, killing multiple birds with one stone.
