"Huaijiang, last time I asked the princes to go to your mansion to learn riding and shooting. Do you think they would benefit?"
In the summer heat, there is a big iceberg in the imperial study. Two maids kneel on the ground and fan it with fans to let the cool air of the iceberg disperse.
At the moment, in the imperial library, only Ning Digao sat on the first case, and Gu huaijiang sat on the next chair.
In private when there is no one, Ningdi always likes to call his name directly.
Gu huaijiang arched his hand with a smile. "The big prince and the second prince often come to the mansion, and they are good at riding and shooting. It's not their job to ride and shoot. It's good to be able to do that. "
Ning Di nodded. Just when Gu huaijiang thought he was just asking casually, he suddenly raised his head again.
"Do you think the eldest prince or the second prince will benefit more?"
After that, he only stared at Gu huaijiang's face, his eyes dim and unclear.
This is a pun to inquire about his views on the two princes.
Gu huaijiang thought about it, looking at his eyes, nose and heart. "I thought that the eldest prince had more benefits, and his chance of hitting the bull's-eye was higher than that of the second prince."
Emperor Ning was startled. Looking at Gu huaijiang's dignified face, it seemed that there was no wave in the ancient well.
It seems that he is really just saying who is good at archery, rather than suggesting the candidate for his reserve.
Ning Di suddenly laughed, "what are you doing so seriously? I'm just asking. You and I are friends and best brothers in private. We don't have to be so careful when we talk! "
Gu huaijiang nodded and said nothing. He just took a sip of the tea.
"Try the minzhou peach from Xingong. It's said that it's very sweet because there is little rain. This year's summer is extremely hot, and there has never been a drop of rain. I'm afraid it will be dry again... "
Ning Di said, can't help but sigh, feel that the pink sweet peach is not so sweet.
"Fortunately, the National Treasury is full and the grain is abundant. Dongling is rich in grain, which is much better than Xikun. Even if this year's drought, it will not have a great impact on the people's livelihood. Please feel relieved. "
Ning Di nodded and said, "what you are saying is that it is because of the barren land in Xikun, with more mountains and less paddy fields, that they have been staring at the fertile land of Dongling. Fortunately, I have you at my border. Now that they are big enough to share your worries and my worries, I feel more at ease. "
Mentioning Gu Shubai's name, Gu huaijiang's eyebrows move, and he has some bad premonition.
Sure enough, Emperor Ning said quickly: "I remember that Shubai was crowned this year. It's time for a man of this age to get married. Don't you ever think about what kind of daughter-in-law to marry him? "
Gu huaijiang did not think about it.
But he knew that many people thought about it for him, including Ningdi.
Princess Danyang is his favorite daughter. It is well known that she is interested in Gu Shubai. Emperor Ning has always wanted to marry her to Gu Shubai.
Once the royal family and guhoufu get married, the relationship between the two families will be closer, and the border of Dongling will be more secure.
How does Gu huaijiang not understand the mind of emperor Ning?
He stood up from his seat and said, "I have known emperor Ning for decades, and Emperor Ning is the most understanding of my character. The minister is a person who attaches great importance to friendship. Naturally, he doesn't want to force his son to marry a woman they don't like. No matter Shubai or the younger ones, they all like to choose their future wives by themselves. "
Marriage has always been the order of parents and the words of matchmaker. Gu huaijiang's words are against the etiquette system, but let emperor Ning have nothing to say.
According to his meaning, unless Gu Shubai likes Princess Danyang, she will not want to marry into Gu Houfu.
"Yes, you are. My sister-in-law has been gone for more than ten years, and you are not willing to continue. When you came back with your little daughter, I thought you wanted to open up. There was a woman you liked outside. Who knows this daughter is not her own... "
Ning Di sighed.
A person who can be loyal to his dead wife, he gives him the military power and border of Dongling, and is very relaxed.
"I wish your majesty could understand. But I'm really old, and there are talented people in my generation. I wonder if your majesty can hand over the military amulets to the young generals for training, and give them some opportunities to make contributions? "
Mentioning the word "military talisman", Emperor Ning frowned sensitively and looked at Gu huaijiang unhappily.
"You, after all, do you still think that I want to marry Shubai in case of you? I want to be a family member with you, but it's purely personal and has nothing to do with state affairs. Why do you always shirk the talisman for fear that I might suspect you? "
Ningdi seems to be in a bit of a rage.
Gu huaijiang was about to open his mouth when Emperor Ning said in a loud voice, "sit down and talk. What do you do when you stand up?"
The people in the palace outside the imperial study heard the sound, snickered and whispered.
"Again, every time the emperor and Marquis Gu meet alone, they often say this sentence!"
Gu huaijiang sat down helplessly with a slightly loose expression. "I'm not afraid of your suspicions, but I don't want the situation to be unstable. Most of Dongling's military power is in the hands of his ministers. What he knows is that it is convenient for him to be dispatched in wartime. What he doesn't know is that he is afraid that he will threaten the monarchy. "Rather emperor picked pick eyebrow, smooth beard, half a day just open mouth.
"You mean Prime Minister Yin? I know that he has been dissatisfied with you for a long time. He is such a small bellied man. Fortunately, the affairs of the court are handled in an orderly way... "
Emperor Ning praised and criticized Yin Yan, and finally he said, "if you have more measure than him, you will be more tolerant of him. I'm trying to train his eldest son, Yin Shuo, who is very easygoing. At that time, let him take over the position of Yin Yan, not only don't offend him, but also ease the situation of "general incompatibility."
Use Yin Shuo to ease the situation?
Gu huaijiang was noncommittal, but he had doubts about the young master Yin whom everyone praised in the court.
What bothers him in particular is that the last time Yufu fell into the river, Yin Yan just appeared there
"Huaijiang, what are you thinking?"
Ning Di saw that he was distracted and called him back.
"Oh, I just thought of Yu Fu. Last time they took her to the river for a boat, she accidentally fell into the water. Who knows, it's hot recently. The child likes water and asks me to take her to the West Lake. "
When Ning Di saw him saying this, he had a look of his father's light. He knew how much he liked Yu Fu.
"I'm really curious. Where is your little daughter? I can make you like it so much! "
