At this time, the Gu family's life was also very sad. All the property in the family had been confiscated during the house raid. Naturally, the fields and shops that the Gu family had in the past were gone. What was even more depressing was that the three Gu family members
There are no relatives within the clan who can help them. As for those outside the three clans, they can hide as far away as they can. The influence of the Gu family on them is really too impressive. They are naturally relying on the imperial power.
He stayed away from his family members.
"Guardian, the current situation is that we can't do anything if we don't bow our heads. We sit and eat every day and there is no mountain for us to eat!" Xiao Qin has long realized that the Gu family has no way out. If they don't find a way to suck blood as soon as possible, they may not be able to survive.
Find a way to survive.
"Hmph! Even if I die, I, Gu Yankai, will never beg that evildoer." Gu Yankai refused without even thinking. How could he, being so arrogant, agree to beg his own son, and betray the whole world?
The bastard son of the family.
"Officer, our Gu family won't lose by exchanging a marquis for a county prince. Ting Yu's health is already very poor. Now we can't afford any money to buy him medicine. And Ting Wei is only seven or eight years old.
At 2 years old, what will the two brothers do in the future?" As Xiao Qin spoke, she felt aggrieved and depressed and started to cry.
"..."
"Father, you have probably forgotten your fourth and fifth uncles, right? They are still working as coolies at Hou'an Salt Factory in Yangzhou. The lives of the fourth and fifth aunts are much harder than our big house." Gu Tingyu still didn't want to.
They went to seek help from Suning, but now they are more than at the end of their rope.
"Oh... what an injustice!" After hearing these things repeated and reminded by Xiao Qin and Gu Tingyu, Gu Yankai could no longer hide like a shrinking tortoise.
"Father, although the official family now recognizes the second brother as an adopted son and gives the second brother the name Zhao Ning, he is still a bloodline of our Gu family. He must be very concerned about the prestige of our Gu family in the military." Gu Tingyu
He really couldn't find any exchange capital, so he was still prepared to argue with his bloodline and the Gu family's influence.
"Ting Yu, then you and Ting Wei should go to Jiangning Mansion. I believe this evil obstacle will not bully you. In addition, let the evil obstacle free your two uncles. They should have calmed down after such a long time."
At that time, Gu Yankai had no choice but to let his two sons go to Jiangning Mansion.
"Yes! Father."
Originally, it was absolutely impossible for Gu Yankai to compromise with his son, but when Gu Tingyu mentioned Lao Si and Lao Wu who were working as coolies at Hou'an Salt Village in Yangzhou, Gu Yankai unconsciously compromised again, so
The people who know Gu Yankai best are Gu Tingyu and Xiao Qin. Gu Yankai can back off these ineffective things of the Gu family.
At this time, Xiao Qin is undoubtedly the happiest one, because she thinks that she is still the kind mother-in-law, and Gu Tingwei is still a good brother who loves Suning.
Therefore, at this time, Xiao Qin no longer thought about the lost Marquis Ningyuan. Instead, he once again focused on the title of county king that Suning had just obtained. After all, the matter of brother-in-law and brother-in-law was still in the Song Dynasty.
Very common thing.
"Da Lang, the second son is just a submissive donkey. This time you and Ting Wei go to Jiangning Mansion and you must not contradict him and try your best to comply with his little temper." At this time, Xiao Qin returned to his usual coy demeanor, as if
She has always been the kind-hearted and generous aunt.
"Dalang, please take your wife and Sister Xian with you this time. From now on, your family will stay in Jiangning Mansion."
"Ah? Mother, I haven't thought about this." Gu Tingyu looked at Xiao Qin in front of him with a surprised face, not understanding why Xiao Qin would make such a suggestion.
"Then think about it carefully! The second child has now become Prince Ning, so he naturally needs people around him to support and help him. For example, your grandpa and grandma's house is the Marquis Palace of Dongchang." Then Xiao Qin made a meaningful statement.
He said something, and for this reason he also mentioned his natal family intentionally or unintentionally.
"Okay! Mother, I will mention the Qin family of Dongchang Houfu to the second child. After all, the Qin family is also implicated by him." Gu Tingyu, who was indeed smart, nodded understandingly. After all, his biological mother was also born in
Dongchang Marquis Mansion.
"Hey! As a daughter, I really feel ashamed of the Qin family. Not only did they lose the title of Marquis of Dongchang, but I also almost made them beheaded. I may never forgive myself in my life."
"Mother, I will definitely let the second child know these things when I go to Jiangning Mansion this time. Our Gu family does owe a lot to the Qin family of Dongchang Hou Mansion, and the second child must also find a way to compensate the entire three clans of our Gu family."
"Well, Dalang, I can rest assured that you are doing your job."
The little Qin family has been nagging at Gu Tingyu for so long, just to ask for some compensation for her natal family, the Qin family of the Dongchang Hou Mansion, but the greedy little Qin family has forgotten that Suning will never let them get their wish, maybe
Greed blinded them, and they only wanted to pester and ask for things from Suning. In fact, Suning had already gotten rid of the constraints of their Gu family.
…
At this time, Suning was striding into the princess's back bedroom. Looking at the shy Princess Huirou in front of her, Suning directly waved all the maids and eunuchs to get out, although these maids and eunuchs were all in Princess Huirou.
The dowry was still in fear of Suning, Prince Ning of Jiangnan. Naturally, there was no fool who deliberately pretended to be loyal in front of Princess Huirou.
Seeing her personal maids and eunuchs leaving so obediently, Princess Huirou, who was already confused, panicked. Then she looked at Suning in front of her and stammered, "Ning... Ning
King, what are you going to do to me?"
"Huirou, you are my wife now, what do you want me to do to you?" At this time, Suning looked at Princess Huirou with a wicked smile and asked.
"ah……"
Princess Huirou is not known for her outstanding appearance. Compared with the women Suning has seen, she is most delicate. This is mainly due to her noble status as the daughter of Song Renzong. In addition, Princess Huirou in history can be said to be very beautiful.
His misery couldn't help but make Suning, a big pig's hoof, pity him.
It seemed that more than an hour had passed. Suning looked at the tired and weak woman next to him and shouted, "Huirou."
"Huh?" Princess Huirou responded to Suning in a lazy voice.
"Remember! There is neither Prince Ning nor Princess Huirou here. There are only husbands singing and wives accompanying them."
"Um."
"Huirou, are you not afraid anymore?"
"ah?"
"Then let's continue..."
"ah……"
After nearly two hours passed, Suning lay down and went to sleep contentedly. At this time, Princess Huirou naturally thought about the beauty just now, and then couldn't help but look at Suning strangely and asked, "Ning
King, will you destroy the Song Dynasty court?"
"Huirou, why do you think so?" Suning looked at Princess Huirou without answering the question, feeling a little surprised by her direct question.
"I heard that the Ningyuan Army is very powerful. It destroyed Dali and Jiaozhi in one round. So our Song Army is no match for your Ningyuan Army."
"Don't worry! I never thought about killing you Zhao Song. I just felt that your Zhao Song's behavior might be a little extreme, so I thought of doing it according to my own ideas." At this time, Suning shook his head with a wry smile, and then
He just expressed his truest thoughts. You must know that Cao Cao was still a Han official until his death.
"Extreme?" Princess Huirou was confused by Suning's evaluation.
"Since Qin Shihuang of the Qin Dynasty began to have the title of emperor, today, for more than a thousand years, Zhao and Song have been the weakest. Not to mention Daliao in the north and Xixia in the northwest, even the weak Dali and Jiaozhi in the southwest can't stand up to each other.
." Suning said his evaluation of the Zhao and Song Dynasties with some disdain, naturally bringing the views of many later generations.
"Prince Ning, how do you know the hardships of my father and the others? The war between the two countries is not as simple as ordinary people imagine, and the warriors have always been arrogant and domineering and disobedient to ethics. You see, from the separatist rule of vassal towns at the end of the Tang Dynasty to the subsequent Five Dynasties and Ten
How can the country, the emperor and the great ministers really entrust the military generals with important responsibilities?"
"Huirou, do you know the word "extreme"? You, Zhao Song, have gone to the extreme of suppressing warriors. Naturally, you are controlled by those scholar-bureaucrats. The real masters of Zhao Song are not your father and emperor.
Those relatives of the emperor, but those scholar-bureaucrats who are good at playing games and scheming, will naturally be very powerless when facing foreign enemies."
"Extreme? Scholar-official?" Princess Huirou looked at Suning again in shock and confusion. These things were things she had never heard of or thought about before.
"If your father farts in the palace, it will look at the faces of the scholar-bureaucrats. What is the difference between this and the domineering and rude military men? The only difference is that these scholars will not directly fight with you, so in your father's heart
You know everything but you can only pretend to be confused."
"this……"
"Huirou, a sound country and political power cannot be separated from the cooperation of civil servants and military generals. Naturally, certain means are needed to supervise them. But you, Zhao Song, regard the supervision of military generals as suppression, and treat those gangs
The scholar-bureaucrats, on the other hand, only indulge and please. Look at the tattoo Di Qing wears on his face every day and his tragic ending. Do you think the soldiers of the Song Dynasty will really sacrifice their lives for you, Zhao Song? Or do you think those scholar-bureaucrats can?
Can you resist the barbarians from the north?"
"Huh? Prince Ning, are you just trying to prevent some soldiers from running away because they can't bear the hardship?" At this time, Princess Huirou retorted with a guilty conscience, but she seemed so weak and ridiculous.
"Huh? Then why didn't the dynasties before the Song Dynasty not have tattooed noodles? But you, Zhao Song, have this weird rule? Do you want the soldiers to turn a blind eye to such an obvious insult?"
"I……"
"Huirou, in my country, civil servants and military generals are equally important and indispensable. Without either one, I will be unable to govern the country well. Let your father in Bianjing see what he can do.
Governing a big country is like cooking a small dish."
"..."
Princess Huirou, who is seventeen years old this year, has never talked about these things with others, but the good education she has received since she was a child made her know that Suning was right. Such a conclusion made Princess Huirou feel very uncomfortable, and she realized
The blooming flowers in their Zhao Song Dynasty are just illusory bubbles. They only need to wait for a random crisis to make the entire Zhao Song Dynasty fall apart.
"Prince Ning, can Zhao Song be saved?" After thinking for a long time, Princess Huirou looked at Suning expectantly and asked.
"I don't know! But maybe there is still a good chance. Our Ningyuan Army has already appeared, hasn't it?" In fact, Suning has already had a very detailed plan, and Princess Huirou beside him is still the most important part, but it's just not there yet.
Not a good time to explain everything.
"Prince Ning, are you really willing to serve me, Zhao Song?" At this time, Princess Huirou couldn't help but look at Suning with surprise on her face and asked.
"Haha, I am loyal to the Chinese people, not your Zhao Song."
"Is there a difference?"
"Of course! You only need to pay close attention to know what I mean."
"..."
There were no major wars in the Jiangnan area. Suning had already begun to popularize knowledge within the Ningyuan Army, and took out modern textbooks on the space world and distributed them to the soldiers of the Ningyuan Army, unified by their small flags and generals.
To teach generals above the age of 10, you must know that Xiaoqi, who is an AI robot, is very suitable to teach them. They will definitely complete their literacy studies soon. At that time, they can be arranged to retire from the army and join yamen at all levels as subordinate officials.
, which will naturally further consolidate Suning's dominance in Jiangnan.
In fact, Suning wanted to start building many schools in the land south of the Yangtze River. After the schools in each city were built, King Ning issued an order prohibiting any private individuals from opening private schools. Children of school age must go to Ningyuan Military School to receive unified education. Naturally,
They will produce scientific textbooks such as pinyin and mathematics from later generations. As for Chinese studies, they will continue to retain the traditional education of the Song Dynasty. I believe that they will soon be able to cultivate a large number of scholars who are loyal to them. However, they are a little worried about the land of Jiangnan.
It caused a violent sensation and impact on the entire Song Dynasty, and was naturally resisted and rejected by the scholar-bureaucrats. Therefore, Suning's education plan is currently carried out in a very secretive manner.
You must know that Suning now has a domineering character. Naturally, he does not care about the resistance and resistance of this group of flies. Anyway, the handle of the knife is now in his hand, and he is not worried that these people will take risks to resist his rule. At most, he will
It means leaving home and business and moving away from the land south of the Yangtze River. However, this is exactly what Suning wants, so Suning has been secretly advancing this huge plan.
