Afterwards, Gu Shaoyu said something calmly to Ni Yang.
"Keep an eye on Qin Jiping. He is much more useful than Lu Fushen and the Royal Army."
"Yes, General."
Afterwards, Gu Shaoyu handed a newly made talisman to Xing Zhao and spoke with a heavy tone.
"I have kept Luo Yuan's, and yours is a newly made one. I feel relieved to leave the Royal Guards in your hands, but I want to take this opportunity to tell all the soldiers today that every drop of sweat you shed today will turn into the enemy's blood and the shield to protect you in the future, so practice well, understand?"
"Yes, General!"
His words were like a heavy stone hitting a pond, splashing water everywhere. The soldiers all knew their mission and became more determined to continue working hard in the Tiger Army.
The position of deputy general has been decided, and this has to be reported to the court, so Gu Shaoyu started writing a memorial in the big tent, while a family letter with the words on it was drying on the side, and it also had to be sent back together.
It has been almost a year since he left. He knew that everything was fine at home, but he still missed them. So every time he wrote a letter home, it was a thick stack, expressing his longing in every detail.
When Xing Zhao came in, he happened to see this scene.
Just walked over and said.
"How about I write a few words and put it inside my cousin's letter and send it back? Mother and the others must be very busy. Hehe, if they receive a letter from me, I'm afraid it will give them more motivation."
Gu Shaoyu didn't even raise his head and replied directly.
"I'm afraid your letter will be thrown away after just one glance by my aunt. It's useless anyway. If you really want to motivate them, you should have a child with Doctor Xia as soon as possible. When the child is born, you can step aside even more. Even if you stay in the army for three years and three years, I guarantee that my aunt will not ask any questions."
Xing Zhao pursed his lips, these words were exactly the same as what his mother said. Gu's family was indeed cruel and sharp-tongued!
The memorials and family letters were all headed towards Sui'an City. The sound of horse hooves galloping on the official road caused passers-by to avoid them.
When the news reached Sui'an City, Prime Minister Xing felt comforted to see how quickly his nephew was rising in the Tiger Guards.
"Okay, since he has the ability, let's not waste it. Send the transfer order to Jinling City and tell my third brother to come to Sui'an City as soon as possible to serve as the Minister of War!"
"Yes, Prime Minister."
At the same time, the imperial edicts distributed also naturally included the matter of Yan Sanlang continuing to stay in Quanzhou as the deputy commander of the Navy Battalion, but he was given an insignificant position as the deputy envoy of the Quanzhou City Defense Command.
It sounds like an important responsibility, but the Quanzhou City Defense Command has always been a virtual structure, so it is useless to take the position.
Originally, everyone thought that Sanlang was going to be transferred back to Jinling City, and they were all thinking about how to help him get transferred to Jeju which was closer to Suian City. But when they heard this transfer order, they naturally got angry.
At this moment, there was a burst of jumping and cursing in the Earl's Mansion.
"I knew that the Xing family would fight to the death with us. They even dared to block Sanlang's future. Prime Minister Xing really has a good plan. First, he arranged for his nephew to join the Tiger Guards, and now he has transferred his own brother to the Ministry of War as an assistant minister. With this, the Xing family has both civil and military skills. They are not afraid of taking a big step and causing His Majesty to be suspicious and follow in the footsteps of the Guo family!"
Yan Hou cursed and swore, his face turned red with anger.
Their Yan family has always followed the Crown Prince since they had a Crown Princess. Over the years, the eldest son has become the Secretary of the Central Secretariat and is considered to be quite wise in the court. However, as Prime Minister Guo was suspected, their Yan family's power was also reduced.
At this moment, Minister Yan remained relatively calm.
"Father, don't be angry. Although the idea was set by Prime Minister Xing, His Majesty also had instructions behind the scenes. The eldest and third princes born to the Empress are about to get married. If their mother's family is still powerful, they may be worried that they will follow the old path of the late emperor. So it is understandable that they are wary."
"The seventh prince's mother's family is now so powerful, why doesn't he suppress it but indulges it so much?"
"Father! How old is the Seventh Prince? Not to mention whether he will live to grow up. Even if he grows up, it will take at least ten years for him to enter the court to govern. How much power can Your Majesty take back through the Xing family? By then, it is the Xing family that will offend everyone, and he will reap the benefits. When everyone rises up to attack him, he will push the Xing family out to block the knife. Isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"
After hearing this, Lord Yan’s anger finally subsided a lot.
He snorted twice and said.
"The Xing family thought they had picked up a huge bargain, but they are just making wedding clothes for others!"
"Not necessarily. The Xing family is not completely stupid. If they can take advantage of this opportunity to smoothly take control of the government, who knows who will be in power and who will be outdone in the future."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Finally, Minister Yan added a sentence.
"The Xing family is not the Guo family. They have a bottom line when doing things. Even if they are not in the same party with them, they will always leave a way out. But what they are doing is not to cut the Gordian knot and quickly develop their power in the court? Just wait and see, many of the new recruits will be Xing Xiang's disciples!"
When Yan Hou heard this, he realized that he was really old.
When they were young, they all followed the founding emperor and their fathers to create the empire. There were no conspiracies or intrigues at that time, only endless fights for territory and wars. He was lucky to be alive today.
But now, the people in the court treat these old marquises the same way as those outdated royal relatives, respecting them on the surface but disdainful behind their backs. As a result, more and more marquisates are in empty name only, but they cannot pick out a good descendant to have a place in the court.
I'm afraid that after three or five generations, even the title won't be kept. It's true that a new emperor appoints new ministers.
Then he looked at his eldest son, with a feeling of entrusting the whole family to him in his eyes.
"I'm old, and I can't see these fights and bloodshed anymore. You should take on all the responsibilities you can for this family. The only people the Queen can rely on are you three brothers. Silang is not very promising, so you and Sanlang will have to carry the family in the future."
"Don't worry, father. We have come to the point where even if our Yan family wants to retreat, no one else can make us retreat. Moreover, the eldest prince has great ambitions. If we can support him to take the throne, our Yan family will be able to maintain peace for generations. He is not an ungrateful person like your majesty, so let's just move forward."
After hearing his words, Lord Yan felt relieved, but how to move forward was another difficult problem.
