my grandmother

Chapter 205

The residence of Prince Rui in Hangzhou.

Gu Yan and Wen Bin looked side by side, standing in a row at the entrance of the main hall, Jiang Caosi and others on Liangzhe Road.

"Have you read Pang Mingxuan's brochure?" Wen Bin asked.

"Well, it's very impressive as soon as it comes up." Gu Yan said indifferently.

"Ten days at most, Old General Cheng's letter should arrive." Wen Bin looked at Gu Yan with a wry smile, "How should I reply to this letter?"

Gu Yan tilted Wen Bin, his brows slightly raised.

"Your majesty is not young, old people like to be quiet and not to move." Wen Bin subconsciously lowered his voice, "The crown prince is cautious and filial. After two or three years, three to five years after he ascended the throne, I am afraid that he will not be able to do anything." I won't go to war. Old General Cheng has always pinned his hopes on you."

Gu Yan tilted Wen Bin for a moment, and snorted.

Is it because he is impulsive and thinks less?

"How about the grandchildren of Old General Cheng? Are there talents to be made?" Gu Yan asked.

"Well, the second child and the fifth child are both good, especially the fifth child. Compared with the old general Cheng, he is very likely to be better than blue." Wen Bin looked at Gu Yan.

The last time he saw Gu Yan was when he returned to the capital to report on his work two years ago, that is, in two years, Gu Yan had changed so much that he couldn't believe it and couldn't figure it out.

The arrogance and eagerness that was born on Gu Yan's body disappeared completely, replaced by an impenetrable depth.

In the past two years, Gu Yan has been in Jiangnan for more than a year, and this Jiangnan is indeed a blessed place for Prince Rui's family.

"Old General Cheng wants a large enough military merit to support his two grandchildren to grow up after him. If he is too eager, it is not a good sign." Gu Yan said slowly.

"What on earth are you planning?" Wen Bin could only ask straightforwardly.

"If you really want to plan for Old General Cheng, you shouldn't ask me how I plan. You should think about what Pang Xiang plans." Gu Yan said bluntly.

Wen Bin frowned, "You point and point."

"For the sake of the family's descendants, Old General Cheng wants a large enough military merit, and Pang Xiang also plans for the family's descendants, but among the descendants of Pang Xiang, he is the eldest son who is the most promising, but he is still a lot worse than him.

"Since Pang Mingxuan entered the Ministry of Rites, he has been pushing his border strategy of softness and assimilation. At least [-]% of the power in Pang Xiang's hands is probably spent on Pang Mingxuan's softness strategy. As long as he can get permission, Xiangxiang Pang He must do his best to make this gentle strategy seem to be very effective. It is logical for Pang Mingxuan to take over the Ministry of Rites through this important event.

"Jiang Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is not young, it's time to beg for bones.

"The minister of the Ministry of Rites is the Prime Minister, and Pang Xiangxuan has the opportunity to enter the center. Even if he can't enter the center, a minister is enough to support the Pang family."

Gu Yan waved his folding fan and said slowly.

"Go ahead." Wen Bin frowned, seeing that Gu Yan had stopped talking, he urged him.

"It's over. Old General Cheng wants to fight as fast as he can. Whether you have money is a big deal, but money is all you need~"

Gu Yan let out a heck of a laugh.

"Pang Xiangzu started his career in the military. His great-grandfather was a privy envoy. He is not completely incompetent in the army. If General Cheng wants to fight, he will cut off Pang Mingxuan's way to enter the Ministry of Rites. Can Pang Xiang let him win this battle? Victory?"

Wen Bin frowned, and after a moment, he snorted, "It's not that the imperial court has never been gentle, those in the north are all unfamiliar wolf cubs, don't scare them, the imperial court is soft, in their eyes they are weak and deceitful. "

"When Pang Mingxuan takes the position of Minister of Rites, Prime Minister Pang will probably agree with your words. Not now." Gu Yan sneered.

"Zhang Xianggong is blindly cautious and fair, and only wants a bowl of water to be flat. Where is Wang Xianggong?" Wen Bin looked at Gu Yan.

"Scholars from Jiangnan place too much emphasis on merit." Gu Yan answered vaguely.

"The first time I saw Wang Xianggong, when he was still in the Ministry of Officials, I remember the most clear sentence: don't count the damage, don't count the fame before and after life."

"Well, to fight is not to fight, not to fight is to fight." Gu Yan sneered.

"Hmm." Wen Bin was silent for a moment, then looked at Gu Yan and asked, "What do the three ministers think of you cleaning up the Customs Department?"

"There is Dad." Gu Yan said with a smile.

Wen Bin raised his eyebrows, for a moment, he smiled and said: "It seems that I have to write a letter to Old General Cheng.

Gu Yan smiled and said nothing.

There were so many involvements in the account of the silk store, he had to use his heart to disperse these involvements and let them take care of themselves.

Wei Xuezheng came out of the hall, and came to meet Gu Yan and Wen Bin.

Wen Bin talked with Wei Xuezheng for a while, then left with a smile, leaving Wei Xuezheng and Gu Yan's uncle and nephew talking.

"Your aunt said that the lady of the Shi family is thinking about it and is going back?"

Gu Yan glanced sideways at his uncle, ignoring his words.

"Oh, forget it, let's not mention it. Your aunt said that the fifth brother of the Yang family is much more sensible, alas." Wei Xuezheng let out a long sigh.

He is very dissatisfied with the fifth elder brother of the Yang family, Wu Fu!
"Huh?" Gu Yan was taken aback.

He didn't know about it yet, the day Yang Qifan arrived in Bieye, the fourth younger sister was obviously not very happy.

"You don't know?" Wei Xuezheng was surprised.

"I was busy with the Customs Department for the past few days, so I didn't take care of it, and my aunt has already agreed?" Gu Yan turned around.

"Well, alas!" Wei Xuezheng sighed again.

"The marriage between the Wei family and the Yang family happens to be both civil and military. How wonderful." Gu Yan smiled, and then asked: "The person I entrusted you to see, how does it look?"

"Look at these few first, they are all well-educated, and they are all poor families." Wei Xuezheng took out a small booklet from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Gu Yan.

Gu Yan pulled away, looked at the seven or eight people listed above one by one, and stopped when he saw the sixth one.

Zhou Shennian.He finally found him.

Once upon a time, when he was showing his skills in the Customs Department, Zhou Chennian found him, from advising to scolding to pointing at him and swearing at him, he broke Zhou Chennian's leg in a rage.

Later, when he was sitting in the prison, walking on the road of exile, and taking stock of the past bit by bit, he thought of Zhou Shennian and his advice, his reprimands, his words, not even the sentence that he would die. wrong.

"I asked them to help me sort out a few scattered rare books, and let them stay for a few more days. They are all in Hangzhou. Let them come over?" Wei Xuezheng asked.

"Invite them to come here. I'm afraid that the matter of my finding a staff member will spread, and it will be too annoying. I'll go over there." Gu Yan refolded the booklet and put it in his sleeve pocket.

"That's true." Wei Xuezheng hesitated, "Your aunt..."

"Auntie has to be busy here for a few days. Uncle, please go back. At this moment, Bieye is the prince's palace. You are an official, so it's inappropriate to stay here." Gu Yan said bluntly.

"Look at you child, I don't mean that. Alas, your aunt came back from Pingjiang City, but she didn't go home, so she came here. The house is cold and cold. Forget it, I'm going back." Wei Xuezheng Walk out with hands behind your back.
