Duan Canghai said: "When Taizu died and the King of Huainan was young, Emperor Taizong took over the heavy burden and began to reuse the old marquis. Since then, the old marquis has made many military achievements and made great contributions. However, the old marquis of Jindao is the number one general under Emperor Taizu and is still deeply rooted in the military. Although Emperor Taizong valued the old marquis, he still did not abandon the old marquis of Jindao."

"After all, Jindao Hou made great contributions to the founding of the Great Chu country." Qi Ning nodded slightly: "If he was seriously neglected, it would probably lead to dissatisfaction with the military and internal divisions."

Duan Canghai smiled and said, "So at that time, Emperor Taizong asked the old marquis to lead troops to the north, but let the Jin Daohou pacify the southeast area. The main battlefield was in the north, so the old marquis naturally had more opportunities to make merits. The Jin Daohou also won victory in the southeast. At that time, the biggest enemy entrenched in the southeast was Hou Quan, who had the East China Sea naval army. The old marquis spent several years to wipe out Hou Quan and incorporated hundreds of warships from Hou Quan. The court appointed the old marquis of Jin Dao to establish the East China Sea naval division in the East China Sea."

"In this way, was the East China Sea Navy built by the old Marquis of Jindao?" Qi Ning asked.

Duan Canghai nodded and said, "Even now, most of the generals of the Donghai Navy are promoted by the old Marquis of Jindao. There was a saying in the Great Chu that the Jinyi Tiger and the Golden Sword Angry Dragon are that the Jinyi Qi family is a tiger on the land of the Great Chu, and the Golden Sword Dantai family is angry dragon in the water."

Only then did Qi Ning understand and said, "According to what you said, Jiang Suiyun came from the East China Sea. Could it be that he is from Jindaohou?"

Duan Canghai shook his head and said, "I don't know this. However, when Taizong was alive, he was preparing to establish a crown prince. The Jindao Marquis gave a memorial, which was said to let Emperor Taizong remember his promise to Emperor Taizu and make Huainan King the crown prince. No one can prove whether the facts are like this. It should be that the King of Huainan released this news back then. No one can tell whether it was true or false. The Old Marquis of Jindao neither denied nor admitted it. But in addition, the King of Jindao was not close to the King of Huainan." After a pause, he said, "This time Jiang Suiyun was recommended by the King of Huainan. If Jiang Suiyun was really the member of the King of Jindao, the King of Huainan might not recommend it like this."

"Oh?" Qi Ning said: "Why is this?"

Duan Canghai said: "Mr. Marquis, you think that Marquis of Jindao is also a pillar of the empire. If he wants to recommend someone, the emperor will definitely think more about it. Why should he let the King of Huainan come forward? Moreover, over the years, Marquis of Jindao has tried his best not to have anything to do with King of Huainan, and has never asked the King of Huainan to recommend him. If Jiang Suiyun was really a Marquis of Jindao, I think Marquis of Jindao would never let the King of Huainan recommend him."

Qi Ning said: "According to what you say, the relationship between these two families is not too deep? However, the Minister of War Lu Xiao is always a member of the King of Jindao, and he is not far from the King of Huainan."

Duan Canghai smiled and said, "Do you know that among the six ministries, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Justice are considered the forces of the Marquis of Zhongyi, while the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works are biased towards the King of Huainan, and the Old Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, no one is offended. He cannot say far from the relationship between the two sides, but he cannot say close, while the Ministry of War is the sphere of influence of the Marquis of Jindao."

"In this way, there is no one among the six tribes of our Jinyi family?" Qi Ning frowned.

Duan Canghai said: "It's not like that. When the old Marquis and the general were alive, they commanded the Qinhuai Legion, which was the Tiger God Camp that garrisoned the capital, was also considered the sphere of influence of our Qi family. The military power was so strong. At that time, our Qi family said something that few people dared to argue among the six ministries." After a pause, he said: "Just let me talk about Dou Kui, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, when our Qi family was fighting on the front line, we had a lot of contact with the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War, Dou Kui

Previously, several ministers of the Ministry of Revenue were not allowed to be liked by the general, so the general recommended Dou Kui, who was quite safe in his work. The late emperor immediately approved the general's recommendation. Dou Kui then became the Minister of Revenue. At that time, the Ministry of Revenue and Jinyi's family had a very good relationship. However, Dou Kui made several mistakes later. The general was upright and participated in Dou Kui to the court. The King of Huainan took the opportunity to protect Dou Kui, which was the situation today."

Qi Ning nodded slightly. He had some knowledge of the origins of Dou Kui and the Qi family before.

"Lu Xiao is close to the King of Huainan, probably not to join the King of Huainan." Duan Canghai said: "Lu Xiao represents the Marquis of Jindao. What he does is naturally to protect the interests of the Dantai family of Jindao. If he gets close to the King of Huainan, it can only mean that both sides have the same interests."

Qi Ning suddenly realized that the situation in the court was complicated, and many things were indeed not as seen on the surface, and said, "In this way, if Jiang Suiyun was not the one from Jindaohou, the King of Huainan inserted him into the Ministry of War, would he want to use his own people to penetrate the Ministry of War?"

"That's what it means." Duan Canghai said: "Although the King of Huainan is very powerful in the court and the country, what he lacks the most is that he does not have the support of the military, and he is not as good as the Marquis of Zhongyi who has the Black Knife Camp."

"By the way, I have always wanted to make a difference. What is the connection between the Black Knife Camp and the Sima family?" Qi Ning immediately asked, "Is the Black Knife Camp the leader of the Sima family?"

Duan Canghai explained: "At that time, the general built the Heilin Camp and made great achievements, Sima Lan advised the late emperor that another Black Knife Camp could be built in the capital, as a model for the troops and horses of the capital. When Emperor Taizong inherited the throne, the Sima family was always loyal to the late emperor. Sima Lan, the Marquis of Zhongyi, was not only the chief adviser of Emperor Taizong, but also the Sima family followed Emperor Taizong to quell the rebellion. Many children died in battle on the battlefield. Sima Lan's younger brother Sima Wei was the personal guards around Emperor Taizong. Once, in order to protect the late emperor, he died in battle on the battlefield. Therefore, the late emperor always attached great importance to the Sima family. The current empress dowager... The current empress dowager is the eldest daughter of Sima Lan, the Marquis of Zhongyi."

Qi Ning knew that the four hereditary patriarchs and royal family had profound roots, otherwise it would not be as powerful as today.

"Sima Lan advised to establish the Black Sword Camp, and the late emperor agreed, with only one thousand people in the process. In fact, no one thought that the Black Sword Camp could really make a Mingtang." Duan Canghai said: "But the Marquis of Zhongyi promoted Chu Cangge, and the Black Sword Camp was built by Chu Cangge. Although it was two years later than the Black Spot Camp, its combat effectiveness was not below the Black Spot Camp. Now, the Black Spot Camp is the most powerful in the battle between the troops near the capital."

"It turns out that Chu Cangge was promoted by Marquis Zhongyi." Qi Ning nodded slightly: "No wonder the Black Knife Camp obeyed the orders of Marquis Zhongyi."

"The Black Sword Camp is actually affiliated with the emperor. Just like the Shenhou Mansion and the Yulin Camp, they both obeyed the orders directly. The Zhongyi Hou did not interfere with the Black Sword Camp too much before." Duan Canghai said: "This is the cleverness of Zhongyi Hou. It makes people feel that he does not interfere in military affairs. However, once he really wants to hire someone, Chu Cangge will definitely obey with the order with the Long Sword Camp. The last time the Black Sword Camp entered the city, it should be the Zhongyi Hou's meaning."

At this time, Qi Ning felt the complexity of the pattern in Beijing and thoughtful.

When he returned to the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion, it was already dusk. Before he arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, Zhao Wushang took a step forward and reported to the mansion. When Qi Ning returned to the mansion, Gu Qinghan had already summoned the mansion to wait in the courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion. As soon as Qi Ning entered the mansion, everyone in the mansion knelt on the ground in shock and congratulated each other in congratulations. Even Gu Qinghan twisted his waist and walked up to salute.

Qi Ning was a little amused, but he also knew what it meant to seize the position of commander of the Black Scale Camp to the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion.

Gu Qinghan leaned into Qi Ning's ear and whispered: "I'm ready for the reward. Tell me, I can also give you the reward."

Qi Ning was about to say that Sanniang was just doing it, but instantly understood Gu Qinghan's meaning, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Everyone should get up, everyone should work together in the future, so that my Jinyi Hou's Mansion will be prosperous as ever, and everyone will go back to the Third Lady to receive the reward."

Everyone thanked again.

"Ning'er, go to the Buddhist temple with me." Gu Qinghan said softly: "The great news, you have to tell the grandma personally, so that the grandma can be happy."

Qi Ning was stunned. After he came to the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion, he had only met the grandmother twice, and seemed to have forgotten that the old woman still existed on weekdays.

There was no delay at the moment. The two of them went straight to the Buddhist temple. As they arrived at the Buddhist temple, no one was disturbing here, and they seemed very quiet. Walking on the bluestone path, Qi Ning saw the unconcealed joy on Gu Qinghan's pretty face, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Sanniang, you have a commander, you seem to be happier than me."

Gu Qinghan glanced at Qi Ning, her bright face was charming and asked with a smile: "Are you unhappy?"

"No." Qi Ning shook his head and smiled, "You didn't seem so happy when you inherited the Marquis that day."

"You are the eldest son of the general, and you are the marquis." Gu Qinghan smiled like a beautiful flower, "But the commander of the Black Scale Camp is not easy to get. Do you know that I have been nervous for the past half day, and I always feel like I can't breathe."

"Haha..." Qi Ning smiled and said, "Does Sanniang have no confidence in me?"

Gu Qinghan gave Qi Ning a blank look, charming and charming, "It's not that I don't have confidence in you, but your opponents are all powerful people, Qu Yanzhi is so capable..."

Seeing this beautiful young woman's charming appearance, Qi Ning couldn't help but approach her. She smelled the faint fragrance on her body and chuckled: "You said this, but you still have no confidence in me. Do you think Qu Yanzhi is better than me? Sanniang, you must not underestimate others in the future. Since your Ning'er said that the position of command is me, then you can do what I want. You will definitely get the hands on what I want." As he spoke, his eyes glanced slightly, as if there was nothing to do with Gu Qinghan's plump breasts.

"Okay, OK, Ning'er does what she says, you can get whatever she wants." Gu Qinghan seemed not paying attention to Qi Ning's glance. She looked in a good mood and said with a smile: "My Ning'er is getting more and more promising. In the future, those who underestimate our Marquis' Mansion will never dare to underestimate us again." He quickly arrived at the Buddhist temple, and quickly stepped slightly, twisted his waist and swayed buttocks, like fallen leaves floating in the wind, and like floating flowers, swaying in a graceful manner.
