"How dare your grandson settle accounts with the king?" Ding Kui said sarcastically.
"Hahaha, you little brat is pretending to me. Even though you were so respectful at the 'Promotion Ceremony', you have no respect for your Majesty and completely ignore your grace. You have no respect for Your Majesty in your heart.
The thought of honoring you." The two iron gall bladders in Jiang Tong's hand were spinning happily.
Ding Kui took a peek at Jiang Tong's expression to make sure that he was not deceiving him. He stretched out his hand to scratch his temples and said, "Is it that obvious? The king praised me for my loyalty, and I received many rewards."
"You said that sentence so smoothly. You must have been prepared for it. You have recited it many times in private. Your expression was so natural at that time. This situation should have been rehearsed in your mind many times.
Which family has rewarded Gong Xiu with good food, clothing, and support? You actually came to Jiang Mansion to find a mother-in-law to recruit them and use those Gong Xiu who were sleeping in bed as maids. You are the only one in Shaodianguo.
And the immunity gold medal, even if you don’t put it in a brocade box, you can’t just hold it in your arms. Even I have to hold it with both hands and take it out. It was given by the founding emperor himself.” Jiang Tong pointed out that Ding Kui disrespected the king.
place.
Ding Kui was sweating as he listened. There was no fear of the king in his heart. He had long since been completely wiped out by lust, and he subconsciously ignored the existence of the king's power in the small details of daily life.
"My grandson has been neglectful, what should I do?"
Seeing Ding Kui's embarrassment, Jiang Tong's previous dissatisfaction with Ding Kui's pettiness was wiped out. He moved his sitting position and said, "You don't have to be too nervous. Not many people paid attention to you before. These small things can still be covered up."
In the past, you could just use the excuse that you were young and ignorant.
You should be careful in your actions in the future and try your best to hide that your mind is mature than your actual age. At least don't be too deep when you go to the palace to show up, especially when facing those old guys. The eyesight of each of them is not inferior to mine. I want to hide it from them.
Very difficult.
Your men should be arriving in the capital soon. If anything happens in the future, you should show up as little as possible. Use people when they need to be used, and don't do everything yourself. As a leader, you must be good at getting all kinds of people to work for you."
Jiang Tong was worried about Ding Qi and decided to personally provide guidance to Ding Kui, at least to train Ding Kui into a qualified heir.
Ding Kui is like a sponge absorbing water. He listened to the experience of his grandfather's teachings. The vision and structure of the former third elder of the Senate were among the first-class in the kingdom, filling an important gap for Ding Kui in addition to his combat power.
"That night, An Chang brought someone to the door to save face, and my grandson thought of a question.
A viscount can gather more than a hundred people in the capital and go to other people's houses to ask for an explanation.
Why was the old thief Zi Si able to break into the Grand Prince's Mansion alone fifteen years ago, and then come to my house to show off his power?" Ding Kui asked the question that had been in his mind for a long time.
"You are blaming the family that has good relations with the Ding family for not coming forward to help." The iron gallbladder in Jiang Tong's hand slowed down, "Ding Dao left in such a hurry that he didn't have time to tell you some traditions.
When the king is seriously ill, all families in the capital and their home guards are not allowed to go out. Once any family dares to violate this agreement, they will be jointly attacked by the two major associations. All those with level 6 or above who want to go out need to send
People should report to the general meeting of their respective professions.
For example, if I wanted to go to the Ding family at that time, I would need to send someone to the Knights Association to apply; if there was a forbidden magician in the family who wanted to move around, he would also need to go to the Magicians Association to apply. All of this is supervised by the royal family.
When the king is critically ill, only civil servants can move around at will, and military generals and martial nobles have to stay at home obediently. The royal family is on high alert at this moment to prevent the appearance of a puppet king controlled by a big family.
Even if the Eighth Army marched into Zhenjing that night, the eldest prince could only serve as the temporary supreme commander. Ding Dao could not leave the Protector's Mansion even half a step. If the eldest prince led the Eighth Army to control the capital, the two major associations and
Royal tribute will be ignored.
Junshang and Zisi took control of the city defense army at that time, and the Eighth Army was deceived by Yangfeng. The two main royal armies, the Ninth and Tenth, would not give the Eighth Army the chance to control the capital again.
There were some people who secretly supported the eldest prince, but those who had the power to influence the situation in the capital chose to remain neutral, except for you, the Ding family. The eldest prince knew at that time that there was nothing he could do to save himself, and it would be useless even if he killed Zisi who came alone.
, will make the Government Affairs Council lean more towards the emperor.
I didn't know the late king's intention at the time, and I had no objections to either the eldest prince or the emperor. I didn't expect that the late king's will was unclear in the end, and the retrospective image of Master Gui Jing could not endorse any prince's succession.
In this situation, there were only two people who were most able to fish in troubled waters, the chamberlain at that time and Zisi. No matter which prince succeeded to the throne, the outcome of the chamberlain would not change. Zisi relied on his identity and rights to forcibly push the king.
Ascended to the throne.
Zi Si's solo intrusion into the Grand Prince's Mansion and the Protector's Mansion would only occur in such a special environment. It had never happened in Shaodian Kingdom for thousands of years. The major families in the capital had never thought of it and had no time to react.
make any reaction.
In short, Zisi was well prepared, seized the opportunity, and successfully broke the situation and won the crucial battle. Your Ding family did not lose unjustly."
Ding Kui listened in silence, digesting the large amount of information brought by the words.
"Okay, it's getting late. You should go back first. If you have anything you don't understand, you can come to see grandpa. I won't be closed to you." Jiang Tong knew that he talked too much at once, and Ding Kui might not be able to hear it all.
Jiang Tong's intelligence was accurate. On November 5th, Lao Qiantou rushed to Zhenjing City with some guards, and Ding Kui's own guard force began to take over the Protector's Mansion.
This time Jiang Shunchuan stayed in Pingzhong County and did not come. Qianyou and his follower Wang Bo followed Feng Liang. The magician with the staff could not fly fast enough and could not keep up with the speed of the old money man and others.
"Ding Xiao, Ding Zhong, and your classmate Zeng Jian are all following Feng Liang. They will arrive before the Chinese New Year." Old Qiantou reported to Ding Kui.
"Zeng Jian? Doesn't he need to study at the Knights Guild? He came to the capital so early. He will go back after the national competition and leave Black Earth City for a whole year. Isn't President Zeng worried?" Ding Kui was worried about Zeng Jian's arrival.
A little surprised.
"It was President Zeng who asked his grandson to learn more about you. Zeng Jian, who is required to learn from the Knights Guild, has already learned it, so there is no delay." Old Qiantou explained.
"Ding Cai, why don't you straighten your face? What if the people from the Military Law Department find you as a deserter? Be careful they take you back." Ding Kui was used to Ding Cai, and he was not used to being without him around.
"Haha, young master, my appearance now is very different from that of back then. You see, my mustache is much more powerful than that of back then. My closest comrades will definitely not be able to recognize it, so just let me go.
Ten hearts, now I can walk around the gate of the Ministry of Military Justice and it will be fine." Ding Cai said, stroking the two curls of beard on his lips.
"Hey, mighty? That girl from the 75th Division is nearby, why don't you call her to test your might." Guard Lao Guo couldn't see Ding Cai's proud look.
"Why are you talking about that girl? If everyone uses weapons, can she beat me?" Ding Cai suddenly felt disappointed.
"Don't mention it yet, you may not be her opponent." Lao Guo continued to stir up trouble.
"What? Humph, I won't tell you that much. If you have the ability, ask her to come and I'll call you and see." Ding Cai actually didn't know what he was talking about, but he never showed weakness.
"Okay, senior brother hasn't arrived yet. I have a knight apprentice here. Ding Cai, you are responsible for training him for a while. Well, you can make the barbell and plum blossom stakes first, and you can arrange it for him according to my previous training content.
." Ding Kui thought of He Guangsheng.
After the last Anbei incident, Ding Kui did not let He Guangsheng continue to go to the special training camp to avoid being bullied by others. It would be bad for a young talent to be bullied and have a psychological shadow.
"My servant listens to the young master's advice. It's no problem to train a knight apprentice. I usually see Qian Lao training Xiaohua, and this servant is very envious." It turns out that Ding Cai has a complex of being a teacher.
"Grandpa Qian, are you relieved to leave the little flower to Dachuan?"
"Go back to the young master, Xiaohua, mother and daughter come here with Ding Xiao, I can train her myself."
"The mother and daughter are here too. They have traveled such a long distance at such a young age."
"If you don't travel around and gain some knowledge, how can you be qualified to be my Qian Bu's disciple." Old Qiantou replied proudly.
"Okay, that's your apprentice, and it's up to you how to teach him. Grandpa Kun has been promoted to the Great Martial Arts Master. He went to do some business with his father. From now on, Grandpa Qian will temporarily take over as the housekeeper. You can handle the things that should be handled by the housekeeper.
Everyone goes to find Grandpa Qian."
There were so many people present that it was inconvenient for Ding Kui to say clearly that Ding Kun went to Lu State. Anyway, the old money man could understand what he said.
"This old boy is one step ahead. I guess his tail will rise to the sky." Seeing Ding Kui's smile, Old Qiantou knew that he was right, "Huh, good luck, lest his face disgust me."
Ding Kui never left the house after his bodyguards arrived. As for whether he disguised himself and sneaked out secretly, the people watching near the Protector's Mansion did not consider this option.
"Have any generals from the Eighth Army looked for him?" Shaodiandan asked Shaodianmi who came for a routine report.
Shaodianmi was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted and said: "Before the promotion ceremony of An Guogong, there was news that Dong Ba and other five division commanders had left the military camp and should be heading towards the capital.
However, our spies did not find that the Ding family and his son had seen the generals of the Eighth Army. The five division commanders returned to the camp the next afternoon, and their specific whereabouts are unknown. The humble officials have calculated Ding Kui's itinerary, and it is impossible for him to have seen them.
Anyone from the Eighth Legion."
"Well, he doesn't seem to be very hostile to Gu. His treatment of Gong Xiu and the immunity card should be like a child's. With such an irresponsible father, his rudeness is understandable. Let's reduce the surveillance on him in the future."
Dian Dan lowered his suspicion of Ding Kui.
