Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1979 In and Out of the Palace ([-]) Babies Don't Want to Sit and Enjoy
"Yuan'er, do you want to go to southern Xinjiang?"

As soon as Gao Yushi said this, people at the two tables in the restaurant turned their gazes to Gao Yuan.

The "two tables" mentioned here is the rule of dining in Nanning Houfu.The rules of the Gao Mansion are different from those of other high families. Under Gao Yushi's order, the concubines of Gao's family can sit at the same table for dinner, and they sit at the same table with Gao Yushi and Huang Zhiting, and the rest of the children sit at the other table—but there are One exception is Gao Yuan, who has always been allowed to sit at the same table as his parents.

In fact, from this point, it can be seen that Gao Yuan's status is completely different from that of his younger brothers and sisters, which is very in line with the custom of the eldest son of the Ming Dynasty.

Although everyone's eyes were on Gao Yuan, Gao Yuan didn't seem too nervous. Although he was slightly taken aback, he still quickly replied: "It's all up to my father."

However, Gao Wushi seemed not very satisfied with this answer, and asked again: "I ask if you want to go."

Based on Huang Zhiting, Liu Xin's and others' understanding of Gao Yushi, once they heard Gao Yushi say this, they already knew that he wanted Gao Yuan to make his own decision instead of "according to his father's order", and guessed that Gao Yushi was Hope to cultivate Gao Yuan's decisiveness.

Unexpectedly, facing his father's questioning again, Gao Yuan still insisted: "If the father thinks it is really necessary, the child will go. If the father just wants the son to learn a lot, then the child thinks it may be two or three years later."

Three years later, when Gao Yuan was 16 years old, according to the laws of Ming Dynasty, he happened to be a man of adulthood—Gao Yushi reckoned that was what he meant.

Gao Wushi frowned slightly: "You have been listening to my discussion with your mother just now, so don't you have a clear consideration about whether you should go to southern Xinjiang at this time?"

Gao Yuan was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head to look at his mother Huang Zhiting, then lowered his head slightly and said, "My son dared to guess that the father may hope that the child can get some training in this battle, but the child thought... the father would only let the child die." In spite of the name, the actual preparations for the battle are still planned by the mother alone, and if the follow-up battle is really launched, it will be even more arranged by the mother alone."

Speaking of this, Gao Yuan shook his head and said: "The child may not have the ability to command an army, but the child thinks that if the father wants to train the child, he cannot let the child be under the mother's wing all the time. Don't let the child command such a high-level The strength of the two towns, my child can understand, but the name is not enough to train, it is better to give the child an association, or even a standard."

Gao Wushi was quite surprised to hear that, and subconsciously glanced at Huang Zhiting.Huang Zhiting obviously didn't expect her son to say that, she frowned all of a sudden, and asked with displeasure: "You mean, the presence of your mother will affect your display of talent?"

"Mother misunderstood, how dare my son, my son is just worried that my mother has arranged everything properly, and my son will just sit back and enjoy the benefits." Gao Yuan may still be a little scared of his mother, so he hesitated before insisting: "But this is really not enough Exercise the child's ability to be independent, please learn from the mother."

This answer really made Huang Zhiting speechless for a while, she snorted softly and turned her head away, but she didn't ask any more questions, instead she glanced at Gao Yushi, her eyes clearly showing the meaning of "tell me".

In fact, after listening to Gao Yuan's words, Gao Yushi is generally quite satisfied.In particular, he was unwilling to "sit back and enjoy the success", but really wanted to receive some training, so he did not hesitate to give up his "fame", preferring to command only one association, or even one target.It has to be said that this should be considered rare among the eldest sons of aristocratic families.

However, Gao Yushi felt that he was not very satisfied with his son's request. There were two obvious obstacles.

The first obstacle is that the eldest son is the clear "successor" under the Ming system, so his status is very special.How special is it?Probably, as long as Gao Yushi himself is not in Southern Xinjiang, then when Gao Yuan appears in Southern Xinjiang, it can almost be equated with Gao Yushi's presence in person—yes, his symbolic significance in this point is even more than that of his mother.

How to explain this matter... Just like the plots in many film and television dramas or novels, assuming that the father died early for some reason, and his eldest son was not even an adult, for example, he was thirteen or fourteen years old like Gao Yuan. Of course the mother should be the head of the house.

However, in ancient times, in fact, this was probably not the case, but the mother would take the initiative to push her son to take charge of the front desk, and she herself would at most only give pointers or advice to her son on major issues.

It is even possible that when the son does not listen to the advice or persuasion, the mother will not explicitly object, but instead try to recover possible losses in private.

All in all, people at this time—including the mothers themselves—generally think that a man should be the head of the family. Even if a son is not mature enough, he should not oppose him in front of others, lest he lose his prestige.

Under the premise that the eldest son has great specialties, if Gao Yushi asked him to go to southern Xinjiang, but only gave him "an agreement, or even a bid", it would be equivalent to breaking the rules to some extent.

Even, this may send some kind of wrong signal, causing many people in southern Xinjiang to mistakenly think that Gao Yuan was "assigned", which would be really bad.Maybe some people will think that there is a possibility that several sons of the Gao family will seize the heir, and some people will support this, and some people will support that, and the internal unity will be over in one fell swoop.

The second obstacle is that even if Gao Yuan is really only given "one agreement, or even one bid", then the two towns dispatched by the Bagu garrison might be afraid to fight the battle.

The reason is obvious, who would dare to let them carry out dangerous operations in the Xie or the standard where the "Nanning Hou Yingzheng" is located?Don't say that you dare not let them carry out dangerous operations, I'm afraid you can't wait to put them in the rear, preferably thousands of miles away from the battlefield.

You must know that although the town control system is considered a senior military general in southern Xinjiang, their status is still a high-level servant.What is a servant?Is a slave!

Since you are a slave, do you dare to put the young master in danger?Not to mention the danger, even if the young master is just a little frightened, the corners of the mouths of the two town commanders will be bubbling with anxiety, and they will not be reconciled to eating for a few days.This is human nature.

Looking back, what Gao Zhenxin and the others suggested before?What Gao Zhenxin said was to let Gao Yuan be the commander of the Nanyang Fleet, and he didn't even have to actually be there-that obviously didn't intend to invite the commander to board the ship.In short, young master, you can arrange some work on the shore.Oh, you don't necessarily have to arrange the work in detail, after all, the small ones can help you handle all these.

And what did the guard say?Gao Yuan was invited to be the Minister of Military Command—this position is theoretically the direct superior of the six major garrison forces, but Huang Zhiting actually performed the duties on his behalf in the past.

Therefore, regardless of the army or the navy, Gao Yuan was asked to be the "top leader" directly.In view of the local strength of the Garrison Army and the Nanyang Fleet, it is obvious that this leader will not need to go out on the battlefield in person, so it can be said that it is absolutely safe.

Both the land and sea armies in Southern Xinjiang don't mind - even sincerely hope that Gao Yuan will be their immediate boss, but if he only serves as a coordinator, a standard commander, or a captain, guess what the Southern Xinjiang military will do. Will the top management be willing or not?

China is different from European countries, because most of the time it is a unified dynasty, and there is no need to prepare for war at any time, so there is no tradition of letting noble children join the army one after another, let alone the "first in line heir"?
Now both the land and sea armies in southern Xinjiang are encouraging Gao Yuan to lead them, and it is not about cultivating Gao Yuan's military ability in essence. To put it bluntly, it is just a show of loyalty.

Of course, having said that, Gao Yushi wanted Gao Yuan to go to southern Xinjiang, but it didn't necessarily mean that Gao Yuan should develop such a commanding ability.

Just as Gao Yushi has always believed that his own command level is just that, but he is still victorious in every battle.A real strategic decision-maker may not necessarily need a genius like Huo Qubing, as long as he can grasp the overall situation, it is entirely possible to win by calculating.

As for Gao Yuan this time, in fact, Gao Yushi really planned to let his son go to be gilded at the beginning, and of course let him get acquainted with the main generals of the Southern Xinjiang military. These will be good for the future of.

But Gao Yuan himself obviously didn't see it that way. He seemed to see it more as his father's training for him, maybe even some kind of test, so his attitude was very serious.

In Gao's pragmatic view, a 13-year-old should not have such a mature mind.Perhaps the "ancient" society like Daming is indeed easier for people to grow up, whether this growth is because Gao Yuan has many younger brothers and sisters and needs him as the eldest brother to "be the father" when his father is away, or because the whole society treats young people today. Our requirements are generally the same.In short, Gao Yuan's performance looks very mature.

But Gao Wushi didn't expect one thing, he himself was far more precocious than Gao Yuan in the eyes of the outside world - he was already a prince's companion when he was about eight years old, and even founded Jinghua.

In fact, Gao Yuan's precocity has a lot to do with these things.Since he was a child, he heard everyone around him tell him about his father's various deeds when he was a child. This will undoubtedly set an example for him, but at the same time it will also bring him a lot of pressure.

The so-called environment shapes people, which is probably the case.

Gao Yushi decided that things usually happen quickly, but this time he pondered for a long time and didn't speak for a long time. Everyone knew that things were not simple.

Perhaps because of Gao Yuan's words before, Huang Zhiting didn't intend to speak, so Liu Xin spoke.

"My lord, I think it's better to leave it to Yuan'er to handle the matter of dispatching troops this time."

Gao Wushi glanced at her, seeing that she spoke calmly, he couldn't help asking: "Why?"

"When the master was 13 years old, he had been called 'power as inner prime minister' for several years." Liu Xin said with a slight smile: "Besides, although the current situation in Arakan is complicated, it is not that specific when it comes to the use of troops. It's too difficult, I believe Yuan'er can handle it."

This statement is obviously reserved, probably because Liu Xin wanted to avoid saying things too simply, so that even if Gao Yuan did a good job in this matter in the future, people might repeat what she said. Anyone can get it done, it's not a credit at all, so that's not good.

That being the case, Gao Yushi naturally wanted to taste the meaning of Liu Xin's words.After thinking about it, he probably understood what Liu Xin meant.

Although Gao Yuan has made it clear that he doesn't want to just enjoy the benefits under the protection of his mother's wings, the fact will not change significantly because of his subjective consciousness.

In any case, Huang Zhiting has been in charge of the entire southern Xinjiang for many years. Although Xiang's many plans for Arakan and Mughals were suppressed by high pragmatism, this kind of thing was not a temporary fight.Before the war really broke out, a lot of work had already been carried out, and Huang Zhiting was in charge of these work all these years.

That is to say, no matter how Gao Yuan does his specific operations on the issue of "conquering Arakan", in the final analysis, he will not break away from the foundation laid by Huang Zhiting for him. Obviously it is also clear.

Liu Xin's daring to make such a statement now means that in her opinion, no matter how Gao Yuan decides on specific actions, she should be able to ensure that the phased goal of fully controlling Arakan is achieved.

If there is any uncertainty, it means that the time of conquest will be sooner or later, and the loss of oneself will be large or small.In short, it is all within the acceptable range and will not let things get out of hand.Under such circumstances, Liu Xin believed that exercising Gao Yuan's ability and cultivating his prestige was more important.

"It's also reasonable." Gao Wushi nodded slightly, and said: "Let's do it this way, since Yuan'er has the confidence to share your mother's worries...Madam, you will stay in the capital for a while this time, and I happen to be free, so I can accompany you more you."

I don't know if it's because Huang Zhiting doesn't meet Gao Wushi for a long time every year, so she always has a feeling of a little farewell to a newly married. When she said this in front of the children, her face turned red, but she just gently He nodded, but didn't answer.

However, Liu Xin's reaction was quick, and she immediately asked in amazement: "My master wants to stay in the capital? This... what happened?"

When she asked this question, other talents came to their senses: Shouldn't the master continue to preside over the Pingwa and go to the mainland of the Wa country? Why did he stay in the capital?
Surprisingly, it was Meng Gu Zhezhe who seemed anxious this time, and she asked nervously, "Master, did something happen to North Korea?"

Gao Wushi knew why Meng Gu Zhezhe was in a hurry, because according to his original plan, the three Jurchen tribes were to be "transferred" to North Korea.As Gege of Yehe Department, one of the three major works, of course she is very concerned about this.

Although she did not express any opinions on this matter before to avoid suspicion, it is certain that she must have paid close attention to the matter itself.As for her opinion, she certainly hoped that Ye Hebu could get the best "fief".

Gao Wushi waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, although the situation has changed, it is not related to North Korea's attachment."

After a pause, he sighed softly: "I just found out today that not only Duke Mingquan will resign and return to his hometown after a few years, but also Duke Nan."

When all the wives and concubines were still thinking about who "Dai Nan Gong" was, Liu Xin stood up in shock: "Master is going to be the chief assistant?"
