"The Empire of Tongbei is far away, but our own country is close. I am not a fool. Don't doubt my IQ. Okay, let's not talk nonsense. The military port will not be rented out before I am ready." Ding Kui did not give in on the key issue.
Feng Run took a deep breath. When he received this task, he knew it would be difficult to do it, even in the face of an ally. "What do you want to prepare? Or what do you need our country to prepare?" He asked directly, avoiding talking to Ding. Don't go around in circles, otherwise you will get dizzy.
"Aha, that's a good question! I will be under huge pressure from the country when I rent a military port. No one will like it. I need a good excuse, which of course requires your country's cooperation."
"I knew you were hiding something, tell me your conditions." Feng Run didn't need to decide anything, he only needed to try his best to persuade Ding Kui to accept his country's conditions.
"We'll have to wait until my staff officer comes to explain the situation to you." Ding Kui clapped his hands and Liang Chong walked into the main hall.
"It's a good young master again." Feng Run immediately felt more relaxed when he saw that he was an acquaintance.
"Brother Liang, please tell Master Feng in detail." Ding Kui took a back seat and did not talk directly to Feng Run.
Feng Run knew very well what role he played, didn't mind discussing with Liang Chong, and was able to speak out his opinions boldly.
Liang Chong pointed at the map and talked a lot, and Feng Run interjected a few words from time to time. It lasted for more than an hour before he made Ding Kui's intention clear.
"I can't decide on this. I must report it to the commander-in-chief of our country." Feng Run did not dare to draw a conclusion.
"No problem, how can I let you take the blame? If your country wants to hurry up, don't make any detours. I have plenty of time." Ding Kui knew that this matter could not be settled in one go.
"Personally, although your request is a bit unreasonable, there is room for maneuver, so I should be able to accept it." Feng Run expressed his opinion before leaving.
"How did I become your staff?" Liang Chong felt that his role had changed.
"If you are unhappy, I can recommend you to join the staff department."
"Don't! You know my family's ancestral precepts." Liang Chong's face darkened.
"Yes! This is the only way I can do it. Let's talk about the matter separately. Once it's done, you can go back to the military academy. You can get rewards and take care of the students. What else do you want?" Ding Kui spread his hands.
"Wait a minute, you didn't say there was a reward before."
"It's not too late to say it now. How could I treat my good brother badly? By the way, how far have you and Xiaobai developed?" Ding Kui smiled narrowly.
The "Xiao Bai" in his mouth refers to Bai Qian, and he is talking about the marriage between the Liang family and the Bai family.
"It's all you! Transferring me to the military academy, how can I have a chance to meet her?"
"You can't blame me. Mrs. Liang has a request. As a junior, I have no choice but to obey. I heard that Mrs. Liang has no objection to the matter between you and Xiaobai."
"Bai Qian is older than you. I always feel awkward when I hear you call me Xiaobai. She is in a war zone and the war status will not be lifted in the next few years. Now is not the time to talk about this." Liang Chong felt helpless.
"It's a little troublesome. I want Xiaobai. Gu Shuai won't scold me." Ding Kui thought about coaxing Bai Qian back.
"Senate." Liang Chong said three words and then closed his mouth.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it shows how much you care about Xiaobai, okay! I helped you with this."
Liang Chong left the Earl's Mansion with satisfaction.
Ding Kui walked into the backyard, and a strange figure floated behind him, "Yesterday, Zhang Xiulan came to see Zhong Yu and gave him a few pieces of jewelry. The old slave checked them, and they were the same as what Ding Yu described." It turned out that this figure was the one who sneaked into Zhong Yu's room yesterday. That person, Ding Kun.
"Is there anything special?" Ding Kui was not surprised, because he was the one who sent Ding Kun.
It is not easy to monitor the lover of the director of the Security Bureau. Moreover, Zhang Xiulan is a spy and is very vigilant. After much deliberation, Ding Kui decided to hire the old housekeeper.
Ding Zhong is Ding Kun's disciple, and it would be most appropriate for him to pay attention to the people around Ding Zhong.
"The style is very old, and there is nothing special except that. But for a person of low status, it is better to let the old slave..." Ding Kun made a cutting motion with his hand.
Ding Kui said very seriously: "No! Zhang Xiulan turned from darkness to light and did a lot for me. Such a person cannot die in an unknown way. Now I am just suspicious. There is no evidence that there is something wrong with her. You can only monitor her. Don't
Take action."
"Master is kind! The Ding family is getting better and better under your leadership. The old slaves and others should be eliminated." Ding Kun is not used to Ding Kui's way of doing things, but he does not deny that it is better this way.
"In the past, the Ding family was voluntarily tied up, and the right to develop the family was in the hands of the king because of our huge influence in the military.
Times have changed. Not to mention the military, the kingdom is in chaos. The Ding family must become stronger and gain the respect of both the military and the people.
Grandpa Kun, it’s easy to kill people but hard to control them. It’s better to leave some obstructive people alone than to kill them. We must know how to be tolerant.” Ding Kui comforted the old housekeeper.
"I understand, I will listen to your orders." Ding Kun bowed and bowed, then retreated.
"An ancient style of jewelry?" Ding Kui walked towards the princess palace while thinking about Ding Kun's discovery, "Could it be related to Zhong Yu's necklace? Or is Zhang Xiulan purely trying to please Zhong Yu?" He intuitively felt that there was something wrong with both of them.
.
There is something unreasonable about Zhongyu's sudden appearance, but Qianbu checked her and her necklace and found no problems; Zhang Xiulan survived the battle between Ding Zhong and the masters of Lu State without any injuries, which is unscientific.
"Master!" Ding Fen suddenly jumped in front of him and waved desperately.
"Ah!" Ding Kui came back to his senses, "It seems to have grown taller again." He stretched out his hand and pressed it on Ding Fen's forehead, and gestured to his chest.
"How can you be so short!" Ding Fen stood on tiptoes.
"Okay, okay, from now on, wear shoes with higher heels. Do you have a problem with me?" Ding Kui let go of his hand.
"Higher heels? No, no, no, yes, yes, something is wrong." Ding Fen was led astray.
"That, that, that thing." Her eyes flickered, "Didn't my slave come back from my own country?"
"Ah? Oh!" Ding Kui reacted, "Is Qian always looking for you?"
Ding Fen nodded silently.
"Well, let me think about it." Ding Kui pinched his chin, "How about this? I will give you a warrant. You go to Mr. Liu and give death row prisoners everywhere a chance. Anyone who can escape from your hands can
You will be spared the death penalty, and if you can’t escape, you will be treated as an executioner.”
Ding Fen hesitated for a while before nodding.
"But you have to pick people who are capable of fighting, not people who are powerless to fight back." Ding Kui added.
"Can you not kill people?" Ding Fen squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth.
"I don't want you to kill anyone! As an executioner, someone has to do it. It's called killing harm for the people. Let the damned people receive the punishment they deserve. It can also help other executioners reduce their pressure. What you are doing is a good thing..."
Ding Kui rambled on for a while, trying his best to relieve Ding Fen so that her young mind would not be traumatized.
"Come in quickly! Don't fool Xiaohua." Shao Dian Luan noticed that Ding Kui was back.
Ding Fen stuck out his tongue, turned around and ran away.
"Okay, okay, we haven't seen each other for a while, why are you in such a hurry?"
"..."
Ding Kui did not forget the heavy burden on his body and did not refuse to leave more descendants for the Ding family...
"Tomorrow you go to Nanqiu County to handle government affairs. You are an incompetent supervisor."
Shao Dianluan lay lazily in her husband's arms and said, "You are the master of the outside and I am the master of the house. We have already divided the work."
"There is a butler at home, since when have you ever had to worry about it? There have been several state affairs recently that require your intervention, and I have to watch over the magic tower." Ding Kui would not let Shao Dian Luan abandon his young Yuanyuan even if he had the means.
"..."
There were indeed a lot of state affairs waiting for Shaodian Luan to deal with. Not long after she arrived in Nanqiu County, the whole country received a notice: the supervisory government opposed the convening of the noble meeting in advance and the exercise of power by the king during the Shaodian era.
The Prince Regent of Zhenjing City seemed to be waiting for Shao Dianluan to make a move, and responded immediately: the eldest princess was plotting rebellion and had no right to interfere with the affairs of the Senate.
Moreover, they also invited Concubine Nangong from the cold palace to visit the little king, proving that the little king lived in a free environment.
"Idiot! Isn't this a solid case that Shaodian Tong is having an affair with Concubine Nangong?" The person who dared to say this was Long Dang.
Kong Ci, who came as a guest, smiled and said: "This is your idea, others may not think so."
"Shaodian Shi had a way to get Concubine Nangong out, and he also had a way to send Shaodian Tong into the cold palace. This is logical, right?" Long Dang's position was very clear, and his elbows were inward and not outward.
"There is no evidence! Others will not admit it, except Jiang Li."
"Do you agree with Zipi being promoted to Duke Zhongguo?" Long Dang looked at Kong Ci sideways.
"Why not?" Kong Ci sat upright.
Long Dang stopped talking and stared into Kong Ci's eyes.
The two looked at each other for a while, and Long Dang suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, you cunning guy!"
"It's better than you, you old man." Kong Ci rarely suffered a verbal defeat.
"It would be best if all the old guys died! They should have given way to the young people long ago, but you are blocking the way of the young people."
Long Dang often made shocking remarks, but Kong Ci was used to it, and said sarcastically: "You are the least qualified to say this. Long Yuan is such a good boy, but you, an old man, drove him out of the house. Under his leadership, the Long family will not
It will be worse than now.”
"I can retire, and you can let Kong Ren inherit the title, and Duke Wei can give it to Long Shuang."
"If you and I can do this, Yang Zhao will laugh to death. What if Ding Kui becomes Jiang Kui and succeeds An Guogong? Which young man can beat him?" Kong Ci expressed his worries.
Nowadays, except for Jiang Li, who is from the Mesozoic generation, all the first-rank officials are old guys, which is related to the lack of talents in the family.
"The Jiang family is not so lucky. My grandson-in-law looks down on An Guogong. He might be able to train the next generation of kings, so why bother fighting with us."
"Don't tempt me, you old man. The Senate upholds the orthodoxy of the royal family. The heir to the throne of the king must be of pure blood and belong to the direct lineage of the royal family." Kong Ci said the bottom line of the Kong family.
On the surface, he seemed to be against Longdang, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that there was no conflict. The bloodline of Shaodian Luan's biological son was not impure.
…
Feng Run sent Ding Kui's request back to the country, and then conveyed the domestic reply to Ding Kui. After many twists and turns, he finally reached a consensus, and his country's advance team began to divide the water into two routes to go north, and the destination was Chunlu Bay Water Village.
Ding Kui visited Chunlu Bay Water Village in person, met with Chen Yu, and informed him of his overall plan.
Chen Bi asked: "Where will the navy of Nanma Prefecture go in the future?"
