Teng Juan was even more angry when he heard the conversation between the two, but they didn't say it clearly, and it was hard to rush out and say anything. The most important thing is that Ning Fang doted on Hyun, and even Fei'er, Niao and Dun were protected by Ning Fang. No one dared to do anything to them. Teng Juan turned around angrily and returned to his garden.
After Niao and Dun went back, while Ning Yun was not around, they told Yun what happened when they saw Teng Juan just now, and then Niao said:
"You have to be careful about that Teng Juan. When we saw her just now, those eyes could make a hole in you."
Dun nodded:
"It looks so permeable."
Hyun looked out the door:
Do you have to be careful again? Alas, having three wives and four concubines is really troublesome!
A small country arose in the south of the Kunyu Kingdom, called the Hao Kingdom. It was originally the territory of the Jin Dynasty. Now that the Jin Dynasty declined, it became independent. Unlike Liangzhou, it had already established a country and was also proclaimed emperor. However, its land area and The national power is far inferior to that of Liangzhou, but despite this, Kunyu State does not dare to look down upon it. After all, Kunyu State is not a big country and cannot ignore jumping fleas.
The person who established the Hao Kingdom was a military general from the Jin Dynasty. His surname was Chen, but he was already old. He died not long after the founding of the country. He was succeeded by his nephew. After the nephew's death, he was succeeded by his nephew's son. It lasted for three generations. With conscientiousness and dedication to the country, the Hao Kingdom became stronger and stronger day by day, but by the fourth generation, he was a bastard emperor who was extravagant and extravagant. The government was in chaos, the government was extremely corrupt, officials were exploited seriously, and the people were miserable. As the saying goes: You can't be rich for more than three generations, and you will be ruined. Chinese history has proven over and over again that it is really easy to conquer a country, but it is difficult to defend a country. Qin Shihuang still thought about it for eternity, but his son shattered my wish. It is estimated that Qin Shihuang was in the underworld for this matter. Thinking about it, I can beat my son once.
At the court of Kunyu Kingdom, some people proposed to attack Hao Kingdom now and take over Hao Kingdom's territory. However, some people objected, saying that although the emperor of Hao Kingdom does not care about government affairs now, Hao Kingdom still has the power accumulated over three generations. , a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse, so don't act rashly, the two groups are quarreling and don't have any fight.
Ning Sheng also had a headache over this matter. He himself thought it was not time yet, but he was a little moved. In these turbulent times, he had to strike first, for fear of being overtaken by others, so he could not decide whether to swing left or right.
Ning Yu went home and talked about it with Hyun. Hyun thought about it and said:
"I don't know much about the specific situation, so please refer to what I said and don't take it seriously."
Ning Yan smiled, looked up from the document, and looked at Hyun who was sitting in the recliner opposite and reading a book:
"tell me the story."
Hyun sat cross-legged in the chair:
"Now the people of Hao Kingdom and some righteous officials must hate this emperor to death. Therefore, we can first tell them how good Kunyu Kingdom is and how benevolent the emperor is, so that they will turn their hearts to us."
Ning Yan became interested, put down his pen and listened carefully:
"How to promote it?"
Hyun clasped her fingers and said seriously:
"Rumors, storybooks, and nursery rhymes are all fine. People's words are awesome. They can turn the living into the dead and the bad into the good. Besides, our country, Kunyu, is not bad in the first place. The people are very good. We love my brother, but we just exaggerate the good things."
Seeing the silly way she was flexing her fingers, Ning Yan couldn't help but walked over and sat next to her, hugged her and asked:
"Then what?"
Hyun raised his head and looked into the void:
"Wait, now is indeed not a good time. Although there are all kinds of dissatisfaction with the royal family, there is no turmoil yet and the tension is still there. We have to wait for the best time to kill with one blow!"
"There will be many people peeking at the best time. Are you sure you can grab it?"
Hyun rubbed Ning Yan's face and said with a bad smile:
"That's your business. I don't know anything about this."
Ning Fang took her into his arms:
"It doesn't work? Then what do you know?" He scratched her itch as he spoke, "Does it work here? Or does it work here?"
Hyun was tickled and laughed:
"No, no, it's itchy."
Outside, Qing'er, Fei'er, Niao, and Dun were enjoying themselves. The masters were doing well, and so were they.
After a while, I heard Ning Yan’s voice again:
"Oh, you actually dare to poke my husband's nostrils, it's outrageous!"
"Don't, it's itchy, I can't breathe anymore, I, I'm going crazy!"
Listening to the two people fighting in the room, the four of them looked at each other and were about to go to work. In the blink of an eye, they saw Teng Juan hiding outside and looking into the yard. The look in his eyes made all four of them shiver.
Mayfair whispered:
"We have to worry about Hyun's food from now on."
Not long after, nursery rhymes spread throughout Hao Country:
"There is a place where people can have a stable meal, sleep without worrying, and have children without fear of taxes. If you want to ask where this is, if you want to ask what it is called, it is the Kunyu Kingdom."
There were also storytellers and rumors, which were spread to other places by people who came and went. The situation was originally turbulent, and everyone longed for stability, so the spread became more and more exaggerated, and one person spread into hundreds. The effect was so good that it was a bit worrying. , because Kunyu State is a small country, and such a piece of fat with no ability to protect itself can easily attract competition from big countries.
Sure enough, Zhang Gui from Liangzhou came in person, saying it was a friendly visit, but actually he came to see what was going on. At this time, no one wants a powerful country to appear around them, and if possible, they must nip it in the cradle. , It is true that a common man is not guilty of carrying a jade.
Hyun was already dripping with sweat. Even though she had taken people's opinions seriously at that time, she still seemed to underestimate the power of public opinion. No wonder those who are now hyping up can become popular as long as they are linked to celebrities, regardless of whether they are true or not. As the instigator, this For a few days, I just stayed in the house and thought about my mistakes. I felt a little ashamed of Ning Sheng and didn't dare to see him.
After Zhang Gui arrived, Ning Sheng received him personally and deliberately made himself exhausted. Zhang Gui asked in confusion:
"Your Majesty, why are you so tired?"
Ning Sheng sighed and sat bonelessly in the chair:
"I don't know who harmed my Kunyu Kingdom. What are those rumors?" He straightened up in great distress and moved a little closer to Zhang Gui. "Xi Pinggong said, if Kunyu Kingdom is so good, why bother after all these years?" A small country?”
Zhang Gui thought about it and felt that it was Kun Yuguo who was acting defensively and showed no signs of taking the initiative, and it was not as good as the rumors. Now looking at Ning Sheng's troubled look, what he said to him I believe it seventy-eight percent:
"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about these unnecessary things. You should take more care of yourself."
Ning Sheng nodded:
"I have only had a short relationship with Duke Xiping, but he is a humble man. I can't help but say too much."
Zhang Gui smiled and waved his hand:
"It is my honor that Your Majesty is willing to tell me about your troubles."
Ning Sheng smiled and said:
"Mr. Xiping has traveled thousands of miles to come. I have to entertain him well, but it's not as good as the Jin Dynasty. I hope Gong Xiping will forgive me."
Zhang Gui Gongshou said:
"It's me who has come to bother Your Majesty and cause trouble to Your Majesty."
The two of them greeted each other politely and then went to the banquet. Ning Yu, Ning Min, and Ning Yan must have been accompanying them, and there were also some high-ranking officials, singing and dancing, drinking and drinking.
After that, Ning Sheng asked Ning Yu to accompany Zhang Gui around. This time Zhang Gui came, in addition to looking at the situation, he also wanted to buy a crossbow. The Tuoba clan used the crossbow, which proved that its power should not be underestimated, so, before returning, Before it was used on a large scale, Zhang Gui wanted to get closer to the water and gain the upper hand first. With their military power in Liangzhou, I didn't believe that Ning Sheng would dare not sell it to him.
Hyun and the craftsmen have already made a more powerful crossbow with a single shot that can be fired continuously. That is, when firing continuously, due to the limitation of the bullet, you have to find stones of similar size, and you can no longer use branches or the like instead. This time, in order to prevent Lei Xu from appearing again, we have not made it public. We have been making it secretly. We still used Hyun's method and divided into several groups. However, this time they were not gathered in one room, but separated. No one was allowed to do it. I knew what I was doing and thought it was the same as my usual job.
Therefore, when Zhang Gui asked to buy a crossbow, Ning Sheng seemed hesitant and embarrassed on the surface, but he didn't feel anything in his heart and was secretly happy that he had earned a lot of money.
The emperor of the Hao Kingdom still indulged in debauchery and did not think about government affairs, and the court was completely controlled by treacherous villains. Some people either claimed to be sick at home, or turned a deaf ear to what was going on outside the window, immersed in their own world, writing poems and paintings, and had no intention of doing so. The government of Hao Kingdom was already in chaos and there were many complaints, but the emperor still went his own way and turned a deaf ear because he relied on the terrain of Hao Kingdom.
The terrain of the Hao Kingdom is like a gourd and gourd, surrounded by mountains on three sides. There is only a narrow opening in the east. There seems to be a tassel hanging on the opening. A long and narrow plain turns from the east entrance to the west, and gradually Biankuan is connected to the Kunyu Kingdom, which can be said to be easy to defend but difficult to attack. Those treacherous ministers are not only civil servants, but also military officers, so they will defend this place for their own interests.
In the blink of an eye, autumn has arrived, the harvest season. There are wars everywhere, and the damage to farmland is also great. The places where they can receive crops are full of joy. However, the Hao Kingdom is not happy because the farmers do not hand over the crops after harvesting, and they have conflicts with the local government. Officials clashed.
In the palace of Kunyu Kingdom, Ning Yu took Hyun into the palace. After Hyun saw Ning Sheng, he threw Ning Yu away and ran towards Ning Sheng:
"Brother, has the time come?"
Ning Sheng rubbed her head happily:
"Yeah, the opportunity has come, have you heard?"
Hyun raised his head and asked:
"What?"
Ning Sheng took Hyun's hand and walked towards the room. Ning Fang behind him was ignored, and Ning Fang showed a wry smile.
After entering the house, Ning Sheng said:
"It is said that the people of the Hao Kingdom did not hand over food, but kept it for us, waiting for us to attack them and save them from dire straits."
Ning Fang came in and squeezed into the same seat as Xuan. Just as he was about to say something, Ning Yan and Ning Min came in from outside. Ning Yan said excitedly:
"Father, I have heard rumors about the Hao Kingdom. Can we start a war?"
Ning Sheng nodded:
"Now is a good time. If you wait any longer, I'm afraid you will miss the opportunity."
Ning Yan turned around and walked to his seat. When he saw Ning Fang and Xun sitting together, he curled his lips in disgust:
"You two are spreading dog food everywhere, how can we people live?"
Ning Fang patted Hyun's head:
"You, the emperor's aunt, why don't you give Yan some good lessons? You must have taught me how to spread dog food, right?!"
Hyun covered her head and said dissatisfied:
"It's because he doesn't learn well, why does he care about me?"
As a result, he was slapped again by Ning Yan.
Ning Min interjected:
"Who does your father plan to let go?"
Before Ning Sheng could speak, Ning Yu said first:
"I'm the best at fighting, I'll go!"
Ning Sheng nodded in agreement:
"I want you to go too."
After discussing the itinerary and how many troops to bring, everyone dispersed.
On the day of departure, Ning Yu got up and patted Hyun who was still lying in bed:
"Little lazy cat, why don't you get up and see your husband off?"
Hyun pulled up the quilt and covered her head, and said angrily:
"If you don't give it away, you won't take me with you. If I give it to you, I will feel flatulent."
Ning Yan smiled, pulled down the quilt and revealed Hyun's face:
"Can't you get out of bed?"
Hyun glared at him fiercely, raised her fist and greeted him:
"It's all your fault! You still have the nerve to say it?!"
Ning Fang laughed, picked up the quilt and Hyun, and put them on his lap, next to her forehead:
"I just don't want you to see me off. The farewell scene is too sad. Come and pick me up when I return in triumph."
Hyun hugged his neck tightly, not wanting to let go.
Ning Yan patted her butt:
"Don't cry. It's not a good thing to see someone crying before going to the battlefield."
Hyun hurriedly suppressed her tears:
"Who's crying? Hurry up and leave. I'm annoyed to see you."
Ning Yan smiled and kissed her forehead hard:
"That's right, you must pick me up when I come back, otherwise I will share all the delicious food with my subordinates."
Hyun squeezed his face and said angrily:
"How dare you?!" (To be continued)
