The next day, Mr. Gu entered the palace for the second time and asked to see His Majesty.
When the emperor heard Mr. Gu's request to see him, he couldn't sit still. He stood up and asked Zhang De, "What's Mr. Gu doing here again?"
Don't lie about his imperial edict to punish Hua Siyu!
Zhang De lowered his voice and said, "I didn't ask."
The emperor wanted to say, "Go and ask?", but the words rolled around his lips and he swallowed them back. It was okay to instruct Zhang De to ask others, but for Mr. Gu, that was absolutely not possible. He would leave people alone.
It would be too embarrassing to think about whether or not to meet again after asking clearly. He could only worry about it, thinking of countermeasures, and ordered, "Please come in, Mr. Gu."
Eunuch Zhang responded and went out to invite people.
After a while, Mr. Gu entered the south study room.
After the emperor gave him a seat, he pretended to smile and asked, "Mr. Gu, what's the big deal when you come to the palace to see me this time?"
He deliberately emphasizes big things, which means, don't say anything about small things like Hua Xiyu.
Mr. Gu chuckled, "I do have something to ask of Your Majesty, but it's not a big deal."
The emperor raised his heart and said, "Since it's not a big deal, why do you need to come over for a small matter? Just let Huai'an come and tell me."
Mr. Gu shook his head and said, "Huai'an, he is too busy. I have some free time recently. It's nothing to go to the palace to see His Majesty. After all, my legs and feet are neat."
The emperor thought to himself, you are free and agile, but I can't stand you asking for me so many times. When Mr. Gu comes out, small things are also big things, and he doesn't dare to really think that it is a small thing, "Then tell me."
Mr. Gu said sincerely, "Unlike the incident with the concubine last time, this time it is really a trivial matter."
When the emperor heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it was not about Hua Siyu, he felt that even if he was cheating, he was the emperor, and Mr. Gu should still give him this little face. p>
"Hey, it's Gu Jiu, the unscrupulous descendant of Lao Chen's family. He has been fond of dancing with guns and sticks since he was a child. He is the one in Lao Chen's family who doesn't like to study. Two years ago, he wanted to join the army, but Lao Chen kept suppressing him.
I asked him to study, but recently he has grown up and can no longer restrain himself, so I can only lick my old face and come to His Majesty to ask for His Majesty's favor."
The emperor was completely relieved, "It turns out that this is what happened, it's a trivial matter."
Compared to Mr. Gu looking for trouble for his cheating, this matter is simply a drop in the bucket and can be ignored.
"If you say it's a small thing, it's indeed a small thing, but if you say it's a big thing, it's a little bit." Mr. Gu sighed repeatedly, "He is the stinky bone of the Gu family. He is full of scholars. He doesn't like it, so he insists on joining the army.
Xiwu. The old minister is also at his wits end."
"Gu Jiu, I remember that he was a lively person. This year during the Dragon Boat Festival, he organized a dragon boat race and had a dragon boat race. I remembered correctly that the flower was him, right?" The emperor recalled carefully.
"It's him."
The emperor recalled that he vaguely remembered the appearance of that young man. Unlike most of the Gu family's children who were mature and steady, he was a child like a skinny monkey. He smiled and said, "If he wants to join the army, then let him. After so many years in the Gu family, no one has joined the army, right?"
This Gu Jiu is different from his brothers, he seems to have some ideas."
"I don't want to listen to the family's arrangements. I'm born to be rebellious." Mr. Gu sighed, "I'm afraid that one or two of them will imitate him, which will be troublesome."
"No way!" The emperor couldn't imagine what it would be like for a Gu family full of scholars to join the army.
Mr. Gu smiled, "There is no second one among the younger generation. He is the only one. He has been making trouble for two years. Now that I am tired of making trouble, I can only come to ask for help from Your Majesty."
The emperor nodded, "That's okay. In that case, you don't have to worry. It's not a big deal, so let him join the Forbidden Army? Or my Royal Forest Army? The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division? Or the Beijing Foot Soldiers and Horses Camp? Pick one.
”
Mr. Gu shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, if you pick one of these people, I don't have to bother Your Majesty. In fact, it was that boy who said he wanted to go to the real army for training. It just so happened that Princess An came out of the army and was given to him by him.
Tangled up."
"Oh? He wants to go to Nanyang?" The emperor was really shocked this time.
"Exactly." Mr. Gu was helpless, "Actually, he just wanted to leave home and didn't want to be controlled by the family. The old minister couldn't resist him, so he simply asked him to separate from the Gu family and set up his own branch. He was alone, what did he want to do?
From now on, the old minister will not care about him anymore, but after all, he is his grandson, so the old minister will take care of him for the last time and seek your Majesty’s will. After all, if you want to go to the Nanyang Army, you can’t just go.”
If it is someone else who joins the Nanyang Army, as long as he is not a person of high status, he can only be incorporated into the Nanyang Army through King Nanyang and An Huajin. However, the checks and balances between the Gu family, the imperial power and the aristocratic family have to go through His Majesty.
The emperor was shocked again, "You want to separate Gu Jiu from the Gu family? Just to let him join the Nanyang Army?"
"Your Majesty, it is his own choice. He wants to join the army. Since he is so determined, the old minister will satisfy him. However, the Gu family has always been a person of poetry and etiquette, and cannot tolerate everyone running out to do whatever they want. Therefore, in order to prevent others from letting others
That's all we can do if we follow suit." Mr. Gu felt a little bit changed, "Your Majesty, you understand my feelings."
The emperor understands, very well.
The reason why the Gu family has been standing for hundreds of years is because of the family motto. The descendants of the Gu family enjoy all the family's supplies, including food, clothing, and official transportation arrangements. But to enjoy, there must be sacrifices. The contribution of the Gu family is everyone's
, they must be twisted together for the honor of the family's lintel, and they are not allowed to fight within themselves, and they are not allowed to do anything that disgraces the family lintel.
Now, Gu Jiu wants to join the army, which is inconsistent with the ancestral rules of the Gu family. Therefore, he has to separate the Gu family and establish a separate branch. In other words, from now on, the resources and connections of the Gu family will have nothing to do with him. He will only be named Gu.
It’s just a word. If he wants to join the army, he can go. After Mr. Gu helped him with this, he will be able to make it on his own from now on.
No matter whether you act like a grandpa or a grandma, you have to accept it. Whether he is good or bad in the future has nothing to do with the Gu family.

"Mr. Gu, have you mentioned this to Xiao An'er? Should she respond?" the emperor asked.
The Nanyang Army is said to belong to Da Chu, but how much military pay does the treasury receive every year? The An family has always been raising troops, especially during the current dynasty, when the emperor was more suspicious than before, but because of this, the Nanyang Army only recognized the King of Nanyang.
.
The emperor also knew that the old King of Nanyang had handed over certain rights in Nanyang to An Huajin.
Although the Nanyang Army follows the military system of Da Chu, it has the right to organize its own organization. If anyone wants to join the Nanyang Army, he must have the approval of the Nanyang King. The assessment is very strict. Otherwise, over the years and from generation to generation, wouldn’t the Nanyang Army have long been raped by spies?
Fully occupied?
Of course, it is inevitable to become a spy, but after all, because of this independent establishment and assessment, they are filtered a lot. Not whoever wants to invade Nanyang can intercept people, and the same is true for Your Majesty. If you enter the Nanyang Army, your ancestors for eight generations will have to be punished by the Nanyang Palace.
Check again.
Mr. Gu nodded, "As I said just now, that boy is obsessed with Princess An. Yesterday, Huai'an sent him to the An family. He originally wanted Princess An to deal with him and make him retreat.
Who would have thought that he would be able to coax the person with his seventh sister-in-law. No, Princess An kept the person yesterday. Therefore, the old minister had no choice but to admit it and come to beg Your Majesty."
The emperor was silent for a moment, and then the topic went off the rails, "If you have never been married, what do you call your seventh sister-in-law? You are really a child."
"Yes, I will teach him a lesson when I get back." Mr. Gu followed his good deeds.
The emperor thought for a while, Mr. Gu gave him face and never mentioned his cheating. Such a small thing is not big, so he agreed, "Since Mr. Gu has made a decision and Xiao An'er agrees, I will also agree." Mr. Gu stood up and said thank you, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"When will Gu Jiu go to Nanyang?" the emperor asked again.
Mr. Gu shook his head, "Since I have been given to Princess An, I naturally have to obey her arrangements."
This shows their attitude, the Gu family will no longer care about Gu Jiu from now on.
The emperor nodded, "Okay, then let the little girl arrange it for him."
The monarch and his ministers were very harmonious. After talking about business matters and chatting for a while, Mr. Gu resigned and left the south study room.
After Mr. Gu left, the emperor asked Zhang De what he was most concerned about, "Is her typhoid fever better?"
This she, of course, refers to Hua Siyu.
Eunuch Zhang said cautiously, "Your Majesty, it is said that illness comes like a mountain falling, and illness goes away like a thread. The wind and cold are not so easy to get rid of. It has only been two days."
The emperor nodded, "I'm still worried. You can go and see for yourself later."
"Yes." Eunuch Zhang sighed inwardly.
Even if Hua Siyu refuses to reveal the person behind the scenes, His Majesty will not blame her. He has served His Majesty for decades, and he has never seen Hua Siyu like this. In just over a month, he will
Her Majesty is the only one obsessed with her. This person has already entered the cold palace and still thinks about her day and night.
