"Ning Hao, the doctor of Jin Ziguanglu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, has met Prince Zhong."
Ning Hao is in his fifties. He was the minister of Huangmen during the reign of Emperor Yin of the Later Han Dynasty and was very popular. He surrendered to Guo Wei when the Later Han Dynasty collapsed. The reason why Bianzhou was conquered so quickly was related to the fact that this family traitor cooperated with others. After Guo Wei became emperor, he had some feelings for him.
Although he was careful, the official title was not low. After Guo Wei died of illness, Chai Rong came to the throne and was promoted to Jin Zi Guang Lu, a third-grade civil servant.
Although his rank has risen a bit, compared to the position of Huangmen Shilang in the Later Han Dynasty, he seems to be quite alienated from the Emperor. Emperor Yin had great trust in him, but he betrayed Emperor Yin. Guo Wei had feelings for him.
He has always been marginalized due to worries. However, this cannot be said to be Ning Hao's failure. In any case, he survived the change of dynasties and lived better than many people.
Doctor Jin Ziguanglu, many people who are officials, no matter whether they are civil servants or military officers, are destined not to reach this height in their lives. But this honor does not make Ning Hao happy at all, because he, Doctor Jin Ziguanglu, has never been recognized by His Majesty.
The promotion of talents is only half a stick of incense.
In other words, Chai Rong had just promoted him before he went to the Han army camp in fear.
"My dear, I know that you have always been loyal to the emperor and the country, and understand the righteousness. You were not afraid of hardships on the way to the north to hunt the Han Dynasty, and you are a role model for your generation of ministers. It is really not easy for you, a civil servant, to follow me all the way out to fight.
Already."
After being inexplicably called to him by Chai Rong, and then complimented by Chai Rong inexplicably, Ning Hao, who was almost scared out of his wits by Liu Ling leading five thousand cavalry just now, subconsciously smelled a danger. His face was still expressionless.
He hadn't recovered from the battle just now, but his heart was beating even faster.
"I'm just doing my duty, no hard work, no hard work..."
Ning Hao immediately said humbly, but he was constantly thinking about what your Majesty meant by this. Inexplicably calling me, a person far away from the center of power, to praise me, I am afraid it is a disaster rather than a blessing. Ever since Zhou Taizu Guo Wei treated him
He was suspicious and had not been praised by the emperor for many years. And Ning Hao also understood why His Majesty Shizong took him with him in this Northern Expedition. Was it for peace of mind and fear that he would harm the rear?
Ning Hao smiled bitterly. He had no choice but to betray Emperor Yin. Being a loyal minister and following Yin Emperor to the death would make him famous forever, but no matter how he thought about it, it was not as reliable as living a real life. Whatever happened after his death, he didn't care. If he ran away with Emperor Yin
Hasn't it been cut into pieces by those eunuchs?
Emperor Yin was killed by a group of servants during his escape. In the end, not even his body was left alive. But he just took the right path. Even if he did not order the gates of Bianzhou to be opened that day, the world of the Later Han Dynasty would have been long.
In a few days, it would be better to fight for survival and protect the interests of the family than to risk one's life with that self-righteous little master.
However, what Ning Hao didn't expect was that Guo Wei would be so wary of him. After Guo Wei conquered the world, he made him a county guard and sent him away even though he was a small official as big as a sesame seed and a mung bean. In fact, he was still very worried about his status as a court official.
Tang is worried. Ning Hao understands this and admits it. Although he has less power at the local level, fortunately he is away from the center of right and wrong and feels more comfortable.
Ning Hao is an official with a certain level. After arriving in his own county, he is quite well-behaved. As long as you are not greedy and powerful, the people will recognize you. Unless you force people into desperation, no one will be willing to rebel. Because of this, seeing Ning Hao
He actually did a great job in the local area, and the people loved him very much. Guo Wei was startled and thought to himself, if this person became successful in the local area, he would not gather a crowd to rebel even if he waved the flag and shouted?
As a result, Ning Hao, who had just taken root, was transferred back to the imperial court by Guo Wei and served as Minister of Household Affairs. He was really lacking and fat. There was nothing he could do about it. Guo Wei couldn't let down so many civil servants who surrendered in the later Zhou Dynasty.
The hearts of the generals. His original intention was to transfer Ning Hao back to the court, and watch him carefully, and he would not be able to cause any trouble.
Knowing what an embarrassing position he was in, Ning Hao did not dare to talk nonsense and could only keep his head down and work. He handled the affairs of the household department in an orderly manner and did not leak anything. He also tried his best not to have contact with officials on weekdays to avoid being accused of forming cliques for personal gain. This happened next week
Seventy percent of the civil and military officials were surrendered by the Later Han Dynasty. Why did His Majesty the Emperor keep staring at him? Later, Ning Hao thought seriously for a long time and finally gave himself an answer.
He ordered the city gates of Bianzhou to be opened by himself, while others announced their surrender after the city gates were opened and the Zhou army entered the city. The difference is that it seems that others surrendered passively, while I surrendered actively. After drawing this conclusion
Ning Hao could only give Guo Wei three words, which he kept repeating in his heart every day.
日-你-mother
But after Ning Hao was promoted to the Minister of Household Affairs, he made another mistake. The mistake was that he should not have shown his abilities. If he had shown more incompetence and fear of death, maybe Guo Wei would no longer pay attention to him, but who
Ask him to keep the household department in good order?
Therefore, he was pulled from the position of Minister of Household Affairs by Guo Wei and was given a vacant position as a pretense.
Ning Hao has given up. It doesn't matter what you do, as long as he lives peacefully, that's better than anything else. No matter whether he has power over the government or idle clouds and wild cranes, at least he can save his family.
This time brought by Chai Rong, he was already prepared to die in the line of duty and be killed by the Han army. Isn't that what His Majesty Sejong planned. Chai Rong was more ruthless than Guo Wei, Guo Wei was just guarding against him, and Chai Rong
I want to kill him. If I attack him directly, I will inevitably betray the truth. Killing with a borrowed knife is the best option.
Even Ning Hao admired Chai Rong, although he hated Chai Rong more. Before the expedition, Ning Hao arranged the family affairs and told his three sons that they would rather be useless than stand out. He would try to transfer the family's property to local places and the younger children.
He was also sent to a place to take refuge. After arranging everything, Ning Hao found that he still felt a little resigned to death.
Now that Chai Rong called him out in front of the battle and praised him for no reason, Ning Hao anticipated that his death was coming.
"Just now in the chaos of the army, you were always protecting me. I saw it and I remembered it in my heart."
Chai Rong said calmly.
Ning Hao smiled bitterly. Since he knew that he was bound to die, dying with a good reputation as a guardian might help his family and future generations. It was better than dying unjustly and then trying to connect with a foreign country.
It is better to choose how to die if someone plots against you.
So he did bravely block in front of Chai Rong. Zhao Er's arrow was shot close to his body. He was a step slower, otherwise what would be shot was not Chai Rong's helmet but his own body.
.It’s a pity that I wanted to die but I didn’t.
Hearing what Chai Rong said, Ning Hao couldn't help but fantasize in his heart. Did His Majesty see it? He saw that Ning Hao would not resist? But this idea only came up for a moment and was completely rejected by him. Chai Rong was not
A person who is so easy to change will not be able to get back the things he is determined to do.
"I am just doing my duty as a minister. Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty."
He didn't want to say anything more, so he just answered lightly.
Chai Rong said: "If all my ministers were like you, my kingdom would be stable. If my ministers fulfill their duties and risk their lives to protect them, then I cannot keep rewards and punishments unclear. Ning Hao, I will promote you to Doctor Jin Ziguanglu, in front of the battle.
Recruit envoys."
Ning Hao is also a veteran who has been in the officialdom for decades. The words "Doctor Jin Ziguanglu" are nonsense. Recruiting envoys before the battle is the real topic. Damn it, you want me to die?
But what can he do? He can only kowtow to express gratitude and shout long live.
Chai Rong was very satisfied with Ning Hao's performance. He smiled very kindly. The thirty-nine-year-old Chai Rong didn't look much younger than Ning Hao. When he smiled, he looked like a Bodhisattva from the front and the King of Hell from the side.
"Go to the Han army and tell Liu Ling, the commander-in-chief of the Han army, that I admire him very much and let him see the situation clearly and take action on his own. If he is willing to surrender, tell him that I will make him a first-class natural strategy general! Feng Zhongguo
male!"
Ning Hao raised his eyebrows, and at the same time, Luo Xu, the Protector of the General, Hu Benlang, also had a change of expression.
General Tiance, the first grade.
It seems that from the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the present, except for the Northern Han Dynasty, which had an outrageous officialdom, only one person has reached this position. That is Emperor Taizong Li Shimin himself who initiated the Zhenguan rule. Apart from this, anyone who can achieve the second rank,
It is already the ultimate state of a military attache.
You are so generous!
Ning Hao sneered in his heart, using my life in exchange for suspicion among the generals of the Han army, thus damaging the morale of the Han army? Your Majesty, you think too simply. If someone else were the commander-in-chief of the Han army, you would surrender with such great fanfare.
He may really cause suspicion and discord among the Han generals and may even trigger a mutiny, but that person is Liu Ling, will he surrender?
Not to mention Yipin Tiance General and Zhongguo Gong, he is not as good as his prince based on his title. Even if he wants to be the emperor, it is not his second brother Liu Zhuo's turn to ascend the throne in the Northern Han Dynasty now, right? My Majesty, you seem to be
Wise, but actually not smart. The generals of the Northern Han Dynasty would not suspect Liu Ling of rebelling if he suspected someone of rebelling!
You want to rely on this little trick to split the generals of the Han army? It's just a dream.
Ning Hao could think of this, but could not say it. He kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty's tolerance and kindness are really a great blessing to the soldiers and people of the Northern Han Dynasty. Liu Ling must have been moved by your Majesty, so I congratulate you in advance on your victory in recruiting a powerful general."
Chai Rong laughed loudly and waved his hand: "Go ahead and see if Liu Ling has any other conditions. I will not refuse anything I can agree to."
Chai Rong said nonsense and sent Ning Hao to work as a lobbyist in front of the two armies. After Ning Hao got on his horse and walked far away with his two servants, Chai Rong suddenly felt that what Ning Hao just said was not a compliment.
After thinking about it carefully, Chai Rong's face immediately changed color. It turned white with anger.
Ning Hao! Are you calling me an idiot?
From a distance, it seemed that he heard Chai Rong's inner anger. Ning Hao smiled and nodded gently, murmuring: "Your Majesty, you are indeed an idiot."
PS: I have set a scheduled release, but that thing is really unreliable. If I hadn’t taken a look at it before going to work, today’s update would not have been released. (To be continued)
