Begin your journey to the heavens from knowing or not

Although Xu Wenhui said it clearly, the position of standing is different, and the thinking and ideas are also different!
Xiao Qin didn't feel anything after hearing this. She thought that as long as she held the title of Ningyuan Marquis, she could inherit eternal wealth for generations to come!

What's more, she, Xiao Qin, likes to plot behind the scenes and doesn't like to be the first.

On the contrary, I feel that since the Gu family is without Gu Yankai at this critical moment, it is better not to worry about anything, to calm down for a while, and let others take the lead!

After the dust settles, it won't be too late for the Gu family to come out again!
So after Xu Wenhui finished speaking, he was the first to speak:

"Wen Hui, a woman like me, can't understand what you are saying, but look at it now! Mr. Hou is still in a coma, and the rest of the Gu family, the elders and the younger ones...! I am really powerless. …”

As soon as Xiao Qin finished speaking, the two old men in the fourth and fifth bedrooms immediately retorted, blowing their beards and staring.

"Oh, sister-in-law, what you said is wrong...how could you say that! If you say that, wouldn't my Gu family become a deserter!"

"That's right! Sister-in-law, please don't say this again! My ancestors of the Gu family were ashamed after hearing this! Besides, what does it mean to be old? We are always younger than our brothers! Before, my brothers even defended our country and went to battle to kill the enemy. Well, although we can’t compare with our brother! But at this critical moment, we can’t act like cowardly men!”

"That's right! Sister-in-law! Otherwise, I think you should go into the house and take care of your brother! You really don't understand these military and state affairs!"

They are still waiting to take advantage of this opportunity. How can they allow Xiao Qin's evasive remarks?

So he was very brave in his rebuttal, and even said the words to drive Xiao Qin away!

Xiao Qin was so angry that he almost vomited blood. These two people had little success and more than failure, and it was not like the Marquis had never supported them.
But they are not the same material at all. Not to mention how many errands they have failed in, the Hou Mansion has done a lot to wipe their butts!
What's even more irritating is that these two people have always been spared when it comes to killing enemies in battle. At this time, they are fighting for power and gain bravely. Who are you kidding!
The two old ladies pretended not to notice Xiao Qin's somewhat disdainful and angry look, and turned to look at Xu Wenhui flatteringly.
"Good nephew! My sister-in-law comes from a womanly family and doesn't understand these outside things. Don't be offended!"

"Yes, yes! Don't be offended, my dear nephew! Just tell us if you have anything to do!"

Seeing these two people ridiculing Xiao Qin, Xu Wenhui smiled secretly in his heart, but looked at the two old men with a look of admiration on his face.

"The two uncles are worthy of being men of the Gu family, with backbone and responsibility! No wonder Gu Shibo often mentioned them to me before!

My two uncles, I don’t know what they think about the next arrangements. You can tell Wen Hui! As long as it helps stabilize military morale! I will go back and consult with the two uncles, Duke Ying and Duke Yue! "

The two people with four and five bedrooms were waiting for Xu Wenhui's words. After hearing this, they immediately started to introduce their abilities and some military connections as if they were applying for jobs! He also mentioned the requirements in a vague way!

Speaking of which, the four and five members of the Gu family are both serving in the capital camp.

But probably Gu Yankai also knew that the two people were not capable enough, so he did not arrange anything substantial.
Among them, the old man in the fourth room is an officer supervising the army and horses, which is somewhat similar to the modern chief of staff!

The old man in the fifth room is the supply store envoy, which is an official position in logistics management. It is considered a fat position!
However, the positions of both of them are not very high, and they are considered to be middle-level officials. However, relying on Gu Yankai's relationship, they are also very popular in the Beijing camp, and they are considered to be old fools! It seems that he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to go further!
Naturally, Xu Wenhui would not respond. He just praised the two of them and said that he would discuss it with the British father-in-law and others later!
As for whether it will work or not, it’s hard to say!
This was enough for the two of them to be happy, and the atmosphere became more and more speculative the more they chatted!
Xiao Qin finally couldn't stand it any longer. While several people were talking, she suddenly picked up a handkerchief, covered her mouth and started to cry.
Xiao Qin's crying was naturally a bit disappointing, and the Fourth Old Master couldn't help but said impatiently:
"Oh! Sister-in-law! What are you doing! I told you to go take care of your elder brother in the house, but you just didn't listen! Now you are like this... it's really... oh..."

"That's right! Don't make trouble if you don't understand!"

The fifth old man also had a face full of displeasure! This sister-in-law is a prostitute after all. It seems that she is really bad. She is afraid that when we become richer, we will have a bigger house than them! How abominable!

When Xiao Qin saw that the two uncles were not stingy, he immediately explained sadly:
"Fourth uncle and fifth uncle, don't be surprised! I just saw you discussing important matters, and I couldn't help but think of the Marquis! In the past, the Marquis would often discuss this with everyone...! I...I...this can be regarded as touching the scene!"

Then he picked up the racquet and started wiping his tears again!

After hearing Xiao Qin's crying, she also mentioned Gu Yankai who was seriously ill!

The two people in the fourth and fifth bedrooms were a little embarrassed and couldn't say anything. If they continued to chase and scold this sister-in-law, it would be like bullying Xiao Qin's sister-in-law who was about to be widowed! It would be somewhat unpleasant if word spread!

Xiao Qin wiped her tears and then said:
"Fourth uncle and fifth uncle, it's almost noon. The house is in a mess now, and your eldest brother is like this again! Wen Hui is somewhat neglected! Why don't you go to Fanlou..."

Before he finished speaking, the fourth old man even said,

"Oh, sister-in-law, this is a good idea! Dear nephew! Let's go to Fanlou! The atmosphere at home is not good for entertaining you now! Fanlou is just right!"

Anyway, I feel a little uncomfortable talking in the house, so going to Fanlou to eat and drink is a good time to socialize!

The fifth old man had the same idea, and it was somewhat inconvenient to talk with Xiao Qin here, so it would be better to go to Fanlou! So I nodded again and again!
It was hard for Xu Wenhui to refuse at this time! This little Qin used magic to defeat magic!
I can take advantage of the selfish interests of four, five and two people, and so can Xiao Qin!
Besides, it was basically obvious that he wanted to see off guests, so he couldn't just sit back and do it.

Gu Yankai doesn't know when he will wake up a little bit, and it won't be a problem if he waits any longer!
Looking up at the sun, it was indeed time to eat. Xu Wenhui nodded, stood up and was ready to agree!

"In this case, then Wen Hui can't be more respectful than...eh..."

It turned out that Gu Yankai had just woken up at this time, and he couldn't help but ask the maid serving the soup in the room to find Gu Tingye...

Perceiving this, Xu Wenhui rolled his eyes, as if seeing someone, and suddenly bowed in surprise and said loudly:
"Oops! Gu Shibo! How come you are out? It's great. Are you in good health? Oops! You scared my nephew to death! Without your Dinghai Shenzhen, my nephew, I really feel a little guilty!"

"What? Gu Shibo?"

When everyone heard this, they thought Gu Yankai had come out, and they all looked shocked. Then they stood up and turned around to look in the direction Xu Wenhui was looking at. However, nothing was there, and there was no trace of Gu Yankai anywhere!
Gu Tingye had been silent just now, but in fact he was most concerned about Gu Yankai. When he saw that no one was there, he turned to look at Xu Wenhui and asked anxiously:

"Bosheng, where is my father? Why didn't I see anything?" Xu Wenhui was also surprised when he heard this, pointed to a blank space and said:

"Isn't that Shibo? What? Can't you see it? Shibo! Shibo! Huh?"

As he spoke, his expression changed, and he looked a little frightened and inexplicable.

"I was watching it just now, why is it gone all of a sudden? This... what is going on..."

The old man from the fifth house was originally quite superstitious and liked to watch things about gods and ghosts. When he heard this, he seemed to have thought of something and said in shock:
"Could it be...could it be that something is wrong with my brother? Was it his soul just now? I heard that the soul is the easiest to see when a person has just died!"

Everyone was a little cold upon hearing this, and Xiao Qin immediately looked at the Fifth Old Master and scolded:

"Don't talk nonsense, how is this possible!"

Although she said this, Xiao Qin's eyes were still a little flustered, obviously not as calm as she showed!
After all, she couldn't think of any motive for Xu Wenhui, an outsider, to lie! Maybe I really saw something...

People in ancient times had some respect for ghosts and gods!
"Father! Father! No way...no way..."

Gu Tingye muttered something in disbelief at this time, and without waiting for anyone to say anything else, he immediately ran towards the bedroom like crazy!
As soon as he ran away, no one had time to wonder whether Xu Wenhui had seen him or not.

At the same time, he turned around and ran towards the back room. Xiao Qin wanted to stop Gu Tingye.

But Gu Tingye was young and strong and ran so fast that he was gone in the blink of an eye!
Xu Wenhui followed the crowd leisurely, ready to go over and take a look at the excitement!

……

Gu Yankai left anyway.

But before leaving, he still made some arrangements!
He wrote a lot of letters and asked Xu Wenhui to bring them to his close subordinates in the Tianlong Army!

The other biggest change is that Gu Yankai has written a letter of testament and formally invites Gu Tingye to be crowned the crown prince! And arranged Gu Tingye into the Tianlong Army!

It is clear that Gu Tingye, the second son, is the heir to Ningyuan Hou Mansion!
If it were another family, this might be a little difficult. After all, the inheritance of the Hou Mansion is not a private matter, and the court has its own laws! The primogeniture system of inheritance is justifiable!
But the law is nothing more than human feelings. The eldest son of the Gu family, Gu Tingyu, has been in poor health since he was a child, so it makes sense that it would be difficult for him to hold a big position in the Hou family!
In addition, it is Gu Yankai’s legacy, so the probability of passing is very high!
Gu Yankai was an important official in the imperial court.

Queen Cao didn’t dare to hide from Emperor Zhao Zhen!

So the next day,
Emperor Zhao Zhen rarely drags his seriously ill body to the court to discuss the posthumous title for Gu Yan!

Just to give Gu Yankai, the deceased veteran, some dignity!
The posthumous titles of the ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were different in civil and military affairs.

Civilian officers begin with the character '文', while military officers begin with the character '武'.
Generally, future generations can respectfully call this person by their surname plus Wen or Wu!
For example, Yue Wumu, Fan Wenzheng, etc. who are familiar to later generations are considered relatively high honors!

The posthumous titles of civil servants are "Zheng Zhong Gong Cheng, Duan Ke Xiang Shun..." and so on. Among them, "Wen Zheng" is the highest! Very few get it!
The posthumous titles of military ministers are "loyal, brave, strong, virtuous, respectful and strong...". Among them, "Wu Zhong" is the highest!
There are also some more special posthumous titles that start with the word "loyalty", which are considered common in both civil and military use, such as Zhongwu, Zhongjing, Zhongsu, Zhongxian, etc., which are all considered good names!
But honors are slightly different. Honors are generally not determined according to the traditional posthumous titles of civil and military officials.

Generally speaking, it is based on the distance between the emperor and the emperor, as well as the size of the achievements!

If they are similar, they can be raised to a higher level. For example, Gu Yankai was the Marquis of Ningyuan when he was alive!

As long as your merits are high enough, you can be awarded the title of Duke of a certain person after death, but generally it will not be Duke Ning Yuan, because the word Ning Yuan means that the title of the Marquis Mansion is hereditary and is not replaced!
The posthumous title given to Gu Yan can only represent him personally!

Gu Yankai is both a noble and a military official, so he will choose one of the posthumous titles of military officials to add to his title!
Gu Yankai was undoubtedly meritorious. He guarded the border for decades, and later guarded the capital!

But his achievement cannot be considered particularly great! It’s a bit difficult to get a good posthumous title at the top!
Everyone discussed and discussed,

The final result of the discussion at the imperial court was Duke Wu Jing!
Jing Nai'an, this word means peace, not turmoil!
"Mr. Wu Jinggong" can be regarded as a reward for Gu Yan's decades of military service, which is not bad!
After the dust has settled on this issue,

Zhao Zhen raised the issue of Gu Tingye's title on Gu Yan's legacy for everyone to discuss!

It turned out that this was Gu Yankai's legacy. His eldest son Gu Tingyu was also in poor health, so there should be no trouble!
Unexpectedly, the Marquis of Dongchang raised objections, saying that the eldest son was still alive, and the second son who passed the throne was not in harmony with Li, etc.!
Dongchang Houfu is the in-law of Ningyuan Houfu. Two of their legitimate daughters served as the eldest ladies of Ningyuan Houfu.

They are Gu Yankai's first wife, Mrs. Qin, and his current stepmother, Mrs. Xiao Qin!
The two eldest ladies are both pregnant with legitimate sons, namely Gu Tingyu, the eldest son, and Gu Tingwei, the third legitimate son. However, the title has been passed on to the middle son, Gu Tingye!
The Hou family of Dongchang was naturally unconvinced! The minister Xungui who has good relations with Dongchang Mansion also helped to speak!

Of course, those who agree with Dongchang Hou’s opinions also have objections!

Xu Wenhui also objected. After all, he was on good terms with Gu Tingye. In addition, he was Gu Yankai's 'Minister Tuogu', so he naturally helped Gu Tingye speak for him!
But now the timing is a little bad, it happens to be the final critical period for establishing an heir.
So when the debate started in the court, the direction of the wind slowly began to change, and finally it became a metaphor for King Yong and King Yan.

It's also bad luck,

The situation of these two vassal princes is somewhat similar to that of the Gu family.
It just so happened that one of the residents was the head of the house, and the other was capable. They were so noisy that they put the Gu family's affairs aside!
In the end, Emperor Zhao Zhen probably had a headache due to the quarrel, so he simply announced his resignation and it was over!

However, Xu Wenhui has already noticed that the Gu family matter may become a trigger! Maybe there are still twists and turns in Gu Tingye's matter... (End of chapter)
