Chapter 794

The outer courtyard of Hou's residence.

Master Gu Zhiwen with his eldest son, Gu Rui, stood in front of the hospital bed.

There was a strong smell of medicine in the room, mixed with other flavors, a little pungent.

The elder master Gu Zhiwen repeated Gu Jiu's words again, and then said, "my son has been thinking, is there something important happening in the imperial court, and Xiaojiu got the news in advance?"

The old Marquis thought deeply with his eyes closed.

Gu Rui said in a voice: "no matter whether there is a big event happening or not, little nine sister specially reminds us that there must be profound meaning. From tomorrow, I will train my own bodyguards. "

The old Marquis opened his eyes and pointed to Gu Rui, "you are right to think so. You will start to practice bodyguards from tomorrow. One day, I will die, and the funeral period will not stop. If you don't practice for one day or three days, you may not be able to hold your weapons. "

"Father..." Old master Gu Zhiwen is sad.

"The grandson obeys his grandfather's instructions." Gu Rui has a resolute look and sharp eyes. He is not the eldest grandson of the Marquis, who mourned for Jia's family.

The old Marquis was very pleased, "if I guess correctly, you will soon have a battle to fight. It's up to you to see if the Marquis can prosper again. Perhaps the title of marquis can be further inherited for several generations.

If you can't grasp the opportunity and have no ability to fight against the enemy, you can still keep a little family property if you stop thinking early and be a second generation ancestor

Old master Gu Zhiwen's face turned white. He knelt down in front of the bed and asked in a low voice, "is it really going to be a war? With whom? "

The old Marquis said with a smile, "fool, who can you fight with?"

"Beirong? Or Xiliang? " Master Gu Zhiwen is not really stupid. He just doesn't dare to believe his own judgment.

Beirong, Xiliang and Dazhou have not started fighting for more than ten years. Even if there is a conflict, it is a small one. Why is there going to be a war all of a sudden.

"Is the court ready?" he asked? Last year, the imperial court could not provide food for the disaster relief. Where did you get the food and grass for war? Do you want to use Beijing warehouse

The old Marquis said in a low voice: "Beirong and Xiliang will not stop fighting because Dazhou is not ready. I reckon that in recent years, the life of Beirong and Xiliang is not easy, and it has reached the point where we can't do without fighting. Once a war is launched, it will be a war of overthrow. Xiao Jiu reminds you not to forget to practice during filial piety, which is to give you the opportunity to make contributions. "

Zhou Rui knelt down directly, bowed down and said, "my grandson will never fail to live up to his grandfather's high expectations and dare not let his ancestors be shamed."

The old Marquis looked at Gu Rui with relief, "take your brothers to practice together, don't give yourself too much pressure. I reckon that even if we want to fight this battle, we will have to wait another year or two.

Beirong and Xiliang need time to prepare food, grass and horses, and so does Zhou. You should always pay attention to the grain prices in Beijing. If there is abnormal price fluctuation, it means that war is coming. "

"Grandson, remember grandfather's instruction!"

Old master Gu Zhiwen frowned, "I'm at this age. I wonder if your majesty will point me to the border to fight."

The old Marquis said, "after I leave, you are the head of the Hou's house. In the war of overthrow, you must go to the border. So don't forget to practice

Master Gu Zhiwen is a little guilty, "my son has not taken weapons for many years. I am really ashamed of my ancestors."

The old Marquis snorted and looked very dissatisfied.

"While there is still one or two years to go, quickly pick up the martial arts, don't lose your life in the battlefield."

The old Marquis was not polite to his son.

The elder master Gu Zhiwen nodded, "my son will keep his father's instruction in mind, and my son will practice with Gu Rui and them. My son is just worried about how to fight this war? How long can grain and grass last? Although the household department has finally reached balance, it has little savings. I'm afraid that even if there is a salary of two years, I'm afraid it's a cup of water to prepare. If the war can not be solved within one year, the consequences will be unimaginable once the front line is extended. "

Mr. Gu Zhiwen's words are very insightful.

In a war, we must fight for money, food and logistics.

As long as there is enough money and food, drag can drag the enemy to death.

Beirong and Xiliang can solve the problem of eating by plundering Dazhou.

Who can Zhou plunder?

The north is prosperous and the west is poor. Ha ha, the sky of the King City is far away. It seems that you can't find any object to plunder.

If the front line is extended and goes deep into the grassland, the supply of grain and grass will become the biggest problem.

The old Marquis closed his eyes and thought about it.

Gu Rui suddenly opened his mouth and said: "the four seas business, and Shaofu."

"What?"

"My grandson said that there were Sihai commercial banks and Shaofu, and Sanhe express. Even if the front line was extended, the supply of grain and grass would not be a problem." Gu Rui has a good voice.

However, to the old lord and the great master, the words were like a rock shattering.

The old Marquis asked, "Dalang, why do you think that Sihai merchants can solve the supply of grain and grass?"Gu Rui said honestly: "to my grandfather, my grandson just trusted Xiaojiu's sister. I believe that she also considered the problem of food and grass, and is working to solve it. She reminded us to prepare for the war. Obviously, the war was in her estimation. Little sister Jiu has always done things in a proper way, and I think this time is no exception. "

Because you believe that the problem can be solved The old Marquis felt incredible.

Gu Rui nodded, "if you were to prepare food for the imperial court, to tell the truth, my grandson has no confidence. The court has many disadvantages and delays in handling affairs. However, if Xiaojiu sister comes forward to prepare food and grass, she can always do things that others can't do and always create miracles. I'm sure she can. "

"Why do you have so much faith in her?" Master Gu Zhiwen asked curiously.

Gu Rui solemnly said: "grandfather and father, little sister Jiu did not have much contact, so they did not know her. My wife, Zhou, has frequent contacts with Xiaojiu's younger sister, but is more familiar with them. My confidence in Xiaojiu comes from what she has done over the years

The old Marquis sighed, "I'm really old!"

Master Gu Zhiwen asked, "even if Xiaojiu has a way to solve the problem of grain and grass, his majesty may not use her."

But the old Marquis laughed, "I remember how many times when the late emperor was still there, she dissolved the impossibility one by one and made the impossibility possible. If Xiaojiu really has a way to prepare food and grass, I believe she will be able to persuade your majesty. It's just that the time hasn't come. It's not the time to tell. This matter you father and son two people clear can, can not be introduced "Pingnan Hou Gu Mu generation of meritorious officials, also came to the end of life."

The impermanence of life gave rise to some feelings of Wende.

After thinking for several days, Emperor Wende gave the decree.

After the imperial edict was sent to the Marquis, Gu Zhiwen, the eldest master, succeeded in the title of marquis.

The old Marquis was pleased with a smile. He closed his eyes with a smile and died!

The Marquis's house is sad!

White lanterns were hung on the front door of Hou's residence, and the housekeeper and his family reported the funeral.

Gu Jiu was saddened to learn that the old Marquis had passed away.

She lay down in Liu Zhao's arms and sobbed twice in a low voice.

Liu Zhao hugged her and comforted her softly, "tomorrow I will go to the Marquis's house with you for a memorial ceremony."

Gu Jiu nodded, "although I don't have much contact with the old Marquis, I know that he is very kind to the younger generation and is also very concerned. Gu is the head of his family.

My father, as well as my great uncle, was able to successfully become an official in those years, thanks to the help of the old Marquis. Now that people are gone, it feels like an era is coming to an end, and I feel very uncomfortable. "

Liu Zhao said, "don't be too sad. You are not in good health. You can't be very happy or sad. The generation of the old Marquis is is becoming less and less. When the old guys are gone, an era will come to an end. This is the inevitable result. It's a good thing to be able to leave your own traces in the turbulent years and not come to this world in vain

Gu Jiu wiped away her tears and turned Liu Zhao white.

"Your thoughts, always with a cold breath, seem extremely cold and heartless."

Liu Zhao said frankly: "I am not familiar with the old Marquis. I can't feel his death. I can only tell you what I really think, cold as it is, but honest enough

Gu Jiu bit on his arm, "don't irritate me. Everyone knows the truth, but not everyone is willing to listen to you."

Liu Zhao is good as a stream, "I'll say less."
