Gu Jinyan did what he said, and the youngest son's three washes would not let Liu Xu come.

After seeing off the guests, Gu Jinyan left General Chu and Madam Chu to speak in the flower hall.

Gu Jinyan went through what he was going to say again in his mind, and then said, "Father-in-law, the frontier fortress is now stable, have you ever thought about returning to Beijing?" The implication was to hand over military power, and Gu Jinyan believed in Chu Da. The general could understand what he meant.

General Chu frowned and looked at Gu Jinyan inquiringly.

"Now, when the princes grow up, it's time for the heir to the throne. The fourth prince's mother-in-law and the younger son-in-law's mother-in-law are sisters. Even if we don't stand in line, we will be considered as the fourth prince's side. In this way, the emperor is right You won't be at ease."

General Chu knew that what Gu Jinyan said was very reasonable. The reason why the emperor trusted him was not only because he was the emperor's confidant, but also because he had only one daughter and no successor.

"Other princes are very likely to make things happen because of your military power. At this time, if the emperor pushes the boat along the way, the general's palace will be in danger." After a pause, Gu Jinyan continued: "The little son-in-law also has his own selfishness. Yes. Due to the previous water conservancy project, the younger son-in-law has gained a reputation among the people, and coupled with the military power in the hands of your father-in-law, the emperor is very guarded against the younger son-in-law."

General Chu's eyebrows furrowed even tighter.

When Mrs. Chu heard this, she said to General Chu, "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and return the military power to the emperor." For Mrs. Chu, the husband and his daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren are fine. Being able to go back to Beijing with a family is more important than any military power.

General Chu remained silent, not because he was reluctant to take military power, but because of his many years of military career, he was used to the frontier life. Now let him drop everything and return to Beijing, what can he do?

Madam Chu thought that General Chu was reluctant to give up military power, and looked at him begging.

Gu Jinyan threw out a bomb Adopted to his father-in-law, Concubine Ming was just at the right time. As long as he insisted, Concubine Ming could only agree. After all, Concubine Ming did not have deep feelings for their youngest son.

It is also beneficial for the younger son. With the military exploits made by General Chu for many years, when General Chu returns his military power, there will be no shortage of titles. Even if not, in the future, whether it is to join the army or take the imperial examinations, it will do. For General Chu, it was a big happy event when a pie fell from the sky. The ancients considered it extremely important to have a descendant. There is no one in the Chu family's five servers, which is also the reason why General Chu has not adopted a stepchild until now. Gu Jinyan thought that in Liu Xu's previous life, this was also the reason why the third prince still trusted General Chu after he ascended the throne. Of course, when Chu Qingyun's children grow up, it will be another matter. "Are you serious?" General Chu and Madam Chu stared at Gu Jinyan in surprise. "Really, although it is a little troublesome to say that the clan's children adopt, but..." Gu Jinyan did not continue. General Chu understood that only if he surrendered military power, the emperor would agree. "Will Concubine Ming agree?" Gu Jinyan nodded, he had a solution. "However, the child will not come to you until after the first birthday, and then come back to live for half a month every month." "Of course, the child can't be estranged from you." Mrs. Chu nodded hurriedly. "I'll go back and write the book." General Chu made a final decision. With a grandson, why is he still in the frontier? Is it bad to have grandchildren? Madam Chu also had a smile on her face. She is also someone who wants to have grandchildren, it's nice, it's like a dream. ...... General Chu agreed, and this matter will be settled soon. Gu Jinyan went to Duke Ming the next day and told Concubine Ming about the matter.

Concubine Ming looked at her younger son in astonishment and said, "Jin'er, what nonsense are you talking about? How can children in our royal family be adopted?"

"Mother concubine, the clan children are not as beautiful as outsiders think, how many clan children are lost in Everyone, you know it. There is nothing wrong with being adopted by General Chu, and you can take the imperial examinations in the future, maybe you will have a grandson of the champion!" Gu Jinyan said.

"Is the champion so good for the test?" Concubine Ming glared at Gu Jinyan.

Gu Jinyan added: "With General Chu's management in the army, it will be easier for him to join the army in the future. Besides, it is already a sure thing for General Chu to be awarded a title in the future, and he will not be comparable to a first-class general in the future. Poor."

Concubine Ming frowned, very displeased, and said, "This is your child, why are you so cruel to adopt it?"

Gu Jinyan said patiently: "If you adopt it, you will still be your son's child. I have been in the house for half a month." Concubine

Ming disagreed with what she said, his Chu family had no son, so why should she want her grandson. Even if what Jin'er said made sense, she still disagreed, and she would no longer be surnamed Gu after adopting it, so she would not be her grandson.

Gu Jinyan made a big move: "If we don't agree to the adoption, what Liu's done, General Chu can't just let it go. General Chu will slam the eldest brother for lax family governance and internal maintenance. ."

Concubine Ming's eyes widened slightly in shock.

Gu Jinyan looked at Concubine Ming and stopped talking.

After a while, Concubine Ming reluctantly said, "That's your child, you call the shots."

Gu Jinyan evoked a sarcastic smile imperceptibly.

For Concubine Ming, Gu Nuoyan was the most important thing.

Concubine Ming didn't notice Gu Jinyan's smile, and after discussing it, she said, "Then forgive your sister-in-law. You said before that she and your nephew were not allowed to enter the Anjun Palace, and if you don't attend their banquet, just let it go."

During the three washing banquets yesterday, Enoch's daughter-in-law was unwell and put off everyone. Last night, she was still thinking about how to get Jin'er to take her words back.

"Impossible, my son will never forgive Liu Shi." Gu Jinyan refused.

Concubine Ming covered her chest in anger and said, "I have given my grandchildren to the Chu family, isn't that enough?"

"Not enough, unless Liu Shi is pregnant, and her son will come to her again." Gu Jinyan shook his head with a look of expression on his face. unmoved.

Concubine Ming was so angry that her heart hurt and said, "Why is your heart so poisonous? That's your nephew."

"Then when Liu Shi started, why didn't you think that it was her nephew?" Gu Jinyan snapped back.

"My son doesn't have Liu's poison in his heart, so he can't deal with it, so he can only choose not to forgive." Gu Jinyan continued.

Concubine Ming pointed at Gu Jinyan and was speechless.

At this time, Gu Nuoyan also came over after receiving the news that Gu Jinyan had passed away. I just heard Gu Jinyan's last words.

Gu Nuoyan said in a reproachful tone, "Second brother, can't you be more tolerant?"

"Tolerance towards Liu is the harsh treatment of my wife and children." Gu Jinyan met Gu Nuoyan's eyes.

"You..." Gu Nuoyan was speechless.

"Brother, my wife and children are outsiders in your eyes, right? That's why you can ignore the harm they suffered for Liu's sake. In my eyes, Liu's is an outsider." Gu Jinyan said.

Gu Nuoyan was silent.
