Chapter forty-fifth
Chapter 45: The same power as water and fire
In the simple and simple room, Gan Ning was drunk and lying on the bed and was sleeping soundly. Gan Gui lay beside the bed and was depressed with two dark circles.
He wanted to sleep for a while, but his fearful panic made him feel sleepless.
When he closed his eyes, he seemed to hear Gan Ning's almost roaring wild words.
That sentence is the rise and fall of the entire Gan family.
Although Gan Ning was not from a big family, he had 20 years of military service and had great military achievements. He had many wives and concubines in the family. He had grown up sons, and there were three other children who were still young.
Now Guo Jia is powerful and has three parts of the world. Even if Gan Ning and Guo Jia share the same joys and sorrows, it is hard to guarantee that Guo Jia's thunder and anger will not be attracted by one sentence.
Some words, even if you dare to think so in your heart, will never be able to be told. The lessons of disasters come from the mouth have been everywhere in all dynasties.
Gan Gui knows the pros and cons, and also knows that his father's words are not the pretentious meaning that he hears.
It was just that he wanted to let the other party understand each other's weight in front of Wu Yi.
Following this, Gan Ning's words are correct. He has made great contributions to Guo Jia in the past twenty years, and he has been there to attack cities and villages.
But thinking about it over and over again, it is not the case. It is not that Guo Jia would not be able to achieve today's hegemony if Gan Ning is missing. If Gan Ning is replaced, Guo Jia can appoint many military generals who can be entrusted with great responsibilities to replace Gan Ning. However, Gan Ning is loyal and capable, and was promoted by Guo Jia first. Treat him as a national scholar, and you should repay him with a national scholar.
Never have any thoughts and behaviors of taking credit for themselves.
Otherwise, the outcome would be unimaginable.
As soon as the dawn was dawn, Gan Ning woke up slowly, turned over and got up in a daze. With a sound of thump, he swept Gan Gui to the floor with one leg.
Before dawn, he couldn't stand the sleepiness and was confused for a while. Gan Gui woke up immediately after falling to the ground. When he saw Gan Ning getting up, he immediately cheered up and said, "Dad, you finally woke up. What should I do about this? General Zhou and General Jiang locked General Wu in the wing room. You can't put him under house arrest, right?"
Gan Gui was really afraid that Gan Ning would be ruined by one sentence, and that his heroic reputation would be ruined for a lifetime really made him anxious.
Gan Ning was still dizzy and sat by the bed and covered her face to wake up her mind. When she heard Gan Gui's words, she asked in a muffled voice: "Why are you not resting in your room? Why are you doing for your father's room?"
Gan Gui was stunned, grabbed Gan Ning's arm and shook it hard, and said quickly: "Dad, have you forgotten what happened last night?"
After saying this, Gan Ning also recalled that he vaguely remembered the conflict with Wu Yi, and later got involved with Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin...
"I can't remember it clearly, what's going on?"
Gan Ning didn't care too much, thinking that it was just a small friction. As the commander-in-chief of the Taiping Army, he was not afraid of anything even if he had a broken-off with Wu Yi.
As a result, Gan Gui retelled what happened yesterday to Gan Ning without missing a trace, and Gan Ning was stunned.
"What did you say? I really said that for my father?"
Gan Ning grabbed Gan Gui's collar and asked in disbelief, his voice suddenly getting a little higher.
Gangui nodded with a wry smile. His father was not a scoundrel. He looked like he was obviously drunk at that time and was confused and said nothing after drinking.
But the words that were lost after drinking were also spit out of your mouth!
Wu Yi really wants to report this matter to Guo Jia. It seems that Wu Yi is very villain, and he is a little bit of a big deal or arguing about right and wrong, but this matter is absolutely true and there is no trace of falsehood.
After Gan Ning got the confirmation of his son, he slapped him on the forehead, obviously deeply regretting his nonsense after drinking.
The road has been done, and things have come to this point, and it is useless to regret it. Gangui quickly asked his father what to do.
"Dad, how should we remedy this? General Wu can't be detained in Jiangling all the time, right?"
House arrest of Wu Yi is definitely not a good idea. Even if Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin and others heard Gan Ning's crazy words, they would not really think that Gan Ning had the idea of taking credit for himself. However, Wu Yi and Gan Ning had a conflict, and the disagreement between them was almost known to all the senior generals.
Now that Wu Yi is detained for two or three days, it is reasonable. If Fa Zheng in Xincheng comes to ask for someone for a long time, you can't make a mistake, right? Is Fa Zheng easy to fool?
Gan Ning covered his forehead with one hand and closed his eyes to ponder, waved his hand and said, "You go back to your room first, let me think about it alone for my father."
Gangui stood up, looked at his father with a worried look, and sighed silently and turned away from the room.
Gan Ning, who was still in deep thought, was thinking about countermeasures.
If it were Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Zhou Tai and others who heard Gan Ning’s nonsense after drinking, they would definitely not take it to heart. But now it is Wu Yi, and Gan Ning dare not promise, especially if Wu Yi reported this matter to Guo Jia, Guo Jia came to question and find out the matter, and Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin would definitely not lie in front of the lord.
Gan Ning wanted to apologize to Guo Jia first, but he didn't know how to talk to Guo Jia about such a thing.
Did you say that you were talking nonsense after drinking?
If you don’t think so in your heart, you won’t be able to say nonsense.
Gan Ning was very upset. In addition to thinking that this matter was very difficult, she also felt a little bit of self-blame.
If he hadn't been angry with Wu Yi, he would definitely not have shown off like a young boy. He would be too childish.
You won’t do things when you are calm, but it’s hard to say how much rational you lose after drinking.
After exhaling heavily, Gan Ning slowly got up and changed his clothes. After cleaning the instrument, Gan Ning walked out of the door with a calm expression.
What kind of storms he has never seen before?
I have already developed the ability to remain calm in trouble.
After leaving the government office and coming to Pang Tong's residence in the city, Gan Ning asked his personal guards to wait outside the door, but he knocked in and entered.
It was bright and the sun was shining. Pang Tong was reading in the yard holding the bamboo slips. When he saw Gan Ning coming, he held the bamboo slips and smiled slightly.
"The general came to the humble house so early, and it didn't seem like there was an urgent matter. General, if he wanted to meet his subordinates, he would just send someone to pass on the message."
Gan Ning stared at Pang Tong, saw that the other party's expression was normal, and asked in a deep voice: "Don't the military advisor know what happened last night?"
Pang Tong was also present last night. Gan Ning didn't understand what Pang Tong's performance meant now. It didn't look like sarcasm or worried.
Pang Tong raised his face and suddenly realized it, and still smiled and said, "Oh, is it the general's misunderstanding? Haha, my colleagues all know that the general is loyal to his lord, so how could he mess with him? The general didn't mention this matter, and the lower official almost forgot when he woke up."
Gan Ning looked at Pang Tong silently, not realizing that the other party's expression was different, and what he said did not seem to be slanderous.
He pulled Pang Tong into the room and closed the door to confirm that there was no ear behind the wall. Gan Ning said with a heavy expression: "Military advisor, it is not to be hiding it. It is a mistake for a certain person to say something after drinking, but a certain person has no different intentions towards his lord, and this is true to the world. However, he is worried that someone will use this matter to provoke discord and make his lord suspicious of him."
Pang Tong rolled his eyes and asked thoughtfully: "General Ziyuan?"
When Gan Ning saw that Pang Tong said Wu Yi's name himself, he believed that Pang Tong was open and honest to him and did not say secret words. If Pang Tong asked who the person Gan Ning was referring to, Gan Ning would not say another word and would turn around and leave.
Nodding solemnly, Gan Ning came to ask Pang Tong for advice, which was because he could not think of a way to achieve the best of both worlds.
"The general is making a big deal, right? First of all, General Ziyuan may not really report yesterday's incident to the lord. Secondly, how can the lord be as polite as a mortal? Even if the lord learns about this, he will not blame the general for his unintentional mistake. General, don't worry about this matter."
Pang Tong looked calm and unworried, but Gan Ning couldn't be optimistic.
It’s not that he doesn’t believe Guo Jia’s judgment, nor that he doubts Guo Jia’s trust in him.
But this kind of thing is important, and when it comes to the disadvantages, maybe the Gan family might be in trouble!
It is a big taboo to be a great success, and Wu Yi is in conflict with Gan Ning. In addition, there is a member of the Wu family next to Guo Jia. Moreover, Guo Jia promoted Mi Fang a year ago. This matter was actually something that everyone tacitly agreed with each other but secretly dissatisfied.
A series of complex worries intertwined, forcing Gan Ning to be very cautious.
"Military advisor, I hope I can come up with an idea so that I can rest assured and have no other thoughts."
Gan Ning cannot pin his hopes on Wu Yi being a gentleman, and must have a plan that will prevent future troubles.
Seeing that he was so determined, Pang Tong refused, and after thinking quietly for a moment, he asked: "Does the general think about the consequences? The subordinates can give advice to the general, but if such a thing happens, it will eventually ruin General Ziyuan. Can the general be indifferent?"
Gan Ning's expression was shocked and fell into deep thought again.
After a while, Gan Ning shook his head and sighed, "Military advisor, if Ziyuan forced him to make trouble for this matter, then I had no way out to retreat. If he was not kind, I would have to be unrighteous."
After hearing this, Pang Tong waved to Gan Ning, and Gan Ning walked over. After a while, Gan Ning heard Pang Tong's plan and was surprised and confused.
"Military advisor, if this plan is done, blood will flow into a river. If I am far away from Zi, you will die and I will die."
Pang Tong turned sideways and sighed helplessly.
"The lower officials don't want the general to use this strategy. The general decides everything on his own."
Gan Ning showed hesitation, took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and said indifferently: "Then I will try Ziyuan first. If he is willing to regard harmony as the most important thing, then this matter will be exposed. If he insists on making trouble for nothing, then no one will blame me."
After saying that, Gan Ning bowed his fists to Pang Tong, and Pang Tong returned the gift and watched Gan Ning leave.
After Gan Ning left, Pang Tong sat back in the yard, picked up the bamboo slips to read, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Gan Xingba, Wu Ziyuan, I hope you and the two of you will not resent the lord in the future. The lord will do everything, but I didn't expect you to reach the point where you are today's equal strength. Forget it, after the world is unified, you will separate you from the north and south, and be separated from the sky. Enjoy peace and live a life of life, and it is better to fight openly and secretly than to fight openly and secretly when you die."
