The cool autumn finally came, and Ning Cheng and the others were playing with Yao in the yard. Ning Min suddenly came over, his face not looking good, and Hyun looked at him with a frown.
Ning Min nodded to the children who were greeting him, and walked up to Hyun:
"Father asked me to take you to the palace. There is something going on at Yu Ai's side."
Hyun snorted coldly:
"Finally!" He said to Ning Cheng, "Cheng'er, take good care of your younger brothers and sisters. Mother comes into the palace for a while. Remember all the organs in the courtyard, right?"
Ning Cheng waved his hand:
"Go ahead, go ahead. Grandpa Huang taught me a few more lessons, and I improved what you did."
Hyun walked out and held out his thumb:
"Awesome! He is indeed the son of my black-faced Master Zhuo!"
When they arrived at the palace, everyone had arrived. Ning Sheng waited for the two of them to sit down and said:
"In the letter sent by General Jiang to Princess Ji, he very covertly said that Yu Ai had contact with the State of Zhao."
Huo Jiu said:
"Does the person behind Yu Ai want to use the power of Zhao Guo?"
Ning Sheng nodded:
"I'm afraid so."
Le Zhengkang moved his body:
"If Zhao Guo gets involved, it won't be easy to handle."
Hyun said confidently:
"Lord Lezheng, everyone, don't worry. Haven't you always wanted to know what those things on the city wall are for? As long as Zhao Guo dares to come, I will beat him until his teeth are everywhere! Some things should be counted. never mind!"
At this moment, the hostility shown by Hyun shocked everyone, even Ning Yu was surprised.
Ning Sheng looked at Hyun:
"Are you sure you can push back Zhao's army?"
Hyun said categorically:
"Yes! I'm very sure! If possible, I will invade Zhao's territory, and I will occupy as much territory as I can."
Huo Jiu said dissatisfied:
"General Zhuo, don't speak too loudly."
Huo Jiu admired Huo Jiu. Huo Jiu was indeed a good hand in leading troops in battle, but he was very rigid and did not know how to adapt. He stood up, with his back straight and his head held high:
"General Huo, I never speak big words. I don't do anything I'm not sure about. I don't say anything I don't have the confidence to say. Now that I've said it, I'm absolutely confident that I can do it. Please wait and see, General Huo."
With such self-confidence and dazzling brilliance, Jiang Wu seemed to see the same Xu who was fighting with the ministers in Dai Kingdom again.
Huo Jiu snorted and stopped talking. Although he had been following Ning Sheng and thought some of Hyun's suggestions were good, he just looked down on her as a woman.
Ning Sheng was very satisfied:
"Okay, as expected General Zhuo will not let me down."
While he was talking, Xiao Zhenzi brought in a memorial, which was delivered by Yu Ai.
The term memorial only appeared in the Qing Dynasty. Before that, there were "Zhang" for thanking the emperor for his kindness, "Zou" for impeachment and exposure, "Biao" for stating personal circumstances, and "Zhang" for discussing different opinions. "Discussion", such as the "Departure Table" that we are all familiar with, belongs to the "table" of statement. Therefore, the memorial sent by Yu Ai made everyone feel bad.
After Xiao Zhenzi exited, Ning Sheng opened it and saw that it was indeed not a good thing. Four people were impeached: Jiang Ji, Shi Shao, Zheng Ge, and General Zhuo.
Ning Sheng looked at Hyun in confusion:
"Why did Yu Ai impeach you?"
Hyun was not surprised at all:
"Because when we were in the mission, he thought that I, a boy from a poor family, stole his limelight."
Ning Sheng slapped the music on the table:
"Nonsense!"
Hyun rubs his chin:
"Or is my presence an obstacle to what they want to do?"
Jiang Wu snorted coldly:
"I think it's both!"
Ning Sheng did not continue the topic and turned to ask Huo Jiu and Le Zhengkang how the border arrangements were going.
After the two of them finished talking, Hyun said:
"Brother, I want to go to Nanguan. One is to send the Flyers there, and the other is, I also want to see how Yu Ai contacted Zhao Guo. For so long, we have not found the person behind Yu Ai. This person is hidden deep enough. If we can find this person this time or provoke them to cause trouble, Zhao Guo will be considered a hero."
After saying that, he laughed a few times sadly.
When Zhao Guo was mentioned today, it was obvious that Hyun's mood was wrong. Among the people present, only Jiang Wu could not understand why Hyun's mood was wrong.
Ning Sheng looked at her, nodded in agreement, and then said:
"King Yi, King Yun, King Ji, Lord Jiang are staying."
After the others left, Ning Sheng said:
"Yu Ai impeached General Chiang, General Shi, and General Zheng for engaging in robbery, collaborating with the enemy, and treason, and the evidence was conclusive; he impeached General Zhuo for colluding with Shi Hu during the Zhao State, refusing to save anyone, killing for pleasure, and eating human flesh together, and the evidence was conclusive. .”
Ning Fang, Ning Min, and Ning Yan were all shocked. It is said that there is no need to accuse others. Today they really saw how powerful the person behind Yu Ai is, and he can actually tell lies with his eyes open.
Jiang Wuteng stood up and said dissatisfied:
"Does the Emperor believe these impeachments?"
"Of course I don't believe it. If I did, I wouldn't let you stay."
Looking at Yu Ai's rhetoric for impeaching Yun, the report sent back at that time only said that it was unfavorable to the Zhao State and cooperation was not successful. As for the details, the mission was tacitly silent and did not mention it even when they came back. Ning Sheng always thought it was nothing, but today it seems that it is not.
Looking up at Jiang Wu:
"Jiang Aiqing, I'm keeping you here just to find out what happened to you in the Kingdom of Zhao. Why did Yu Ai say that? Why was Hyun's mood unstable when he mentioned the Kingdom of Zhao twice today?"
Jiang Wu looked at Ning Sheng, then at the other three people, fell into the chair, and said heavily:
"It doesn't matter if I tell you. If I tell you, you might be able to understand why Hyun is so anxious to make Kunyu Kingdom stronger."
After speaking, he glanced at Ning Feng, and then told the delegation in great detail what they had seen and heard after entering the Kingdom of Zhao. He did not add any exaggeration, but simply stated it in a plain tone.
Despite this, the four of them were still dumbfounded. After listening to what Jiang Wu said, they understood how weak Kun Yu was. It was so weak that even the envoys were not looked down upon by powerful countries. It was so weak that they could manipulate the envoys at will. The people of Yu State have no dignity at all when they go out.
After finishing speaking, Jiang Wu looked up at Ning Sheng:
"I would like to thank the Emperor for his absolute trust in Hyun, which makes her willing to do so much for the Kunyu Kingdom. It is precisely because of the Emperor's trust that we can now face the Zhao Kingdom without fear. Thank you very much emperor."
He stood up and bowed deeply to Ning Sheng. This bow made Ning Sheng feel sad.
After leaving the palace, Ning Fang returned to the palace. When he walked to the fork in the road that turned towards the Black Face Mansion, Ning Fang wanted to see Hyun, but he stopped here for a long time and decided to go back to the palace. This was already the case. What could she say? We can only offer condolences like friends, but is condolences useful? For both of them, condolences are useless and will only increase each other's embarrassment.
He retracted his gaze from the street, lowered the car curtain, and said seriously:
"Go back home."
Since he and Hyun reconciled, Ning Yu has returned to the way he was before he met Hyun. He is unsmiling and has no other hobbies except working, reading, and occasionally going to Ning Yan's place. He spends more time with Ning Sheng than at Ning Sheng's place. There was still more time to stay at the palace. Wuchen and Xin Wei looked at each other, silently waving their whips and walked towards the palace.
Entering the palace, there was a scene of chaos. Ning Fang stood at the door, looking at the scene inside, and asked the gatekeepers Yichou and Gengwu in surprise:
"What's going on here?"
Yichou curled his lips and said with a look of contempt:
"My maid broke a cup."
Going around the screen wall, Ning Feng saw Lu Tong sitting on the steps of the living room, crying and crying. The maid who broke the cup covered her swollen face and sobbed softly. There were many footprints on her body. , Ning Fang felt a little headache and walked in regardless of this.
Behind them came the whispers of Yichou and Gengwu:
"When the prince didn't come back, he showed off his power, and when the prince came back, he pretended to be weak. Concubine Hyun doesn't do these two-faced things."
"Oh, forget it, stop talking, let's do our job and don't provoke this evil woman."
Ning Yin looked up at the palace with melancholy.
It has been more than a year since Lu Tong entered the house. For more than a year, except for the garden where Ning Fang did not allow Lu Tong to move, the traces of Xun in other places in the yard have been erased, but the traces in his heart cannot be erased. Every time I saw the chaos in the yard, I resented why Hyun couldn't stay at home like other women. If that were the case, they could still live happily as before.
Feeling depressed, Lu Tong rushed towards him and hugged his arm:
"My lord, this cheap maid broke my favorite tea bowl. That tea bowl is delicate and has a rare pattern, but it was broken by this cheap maid. You can never buy a tea bowl like that again."
Ning Feng didn't speak, but looked at her with a cold expression.
Lu Tong cried for a long time, but saw no reaction from Ning Ming. He raised his head and met his cold eyes. He couldn't help but shudder and let go of his hand. Ning Ming patted his sleeves and continued walking inside.
After walking far away, Lu Tong's shrill voice and the maid's wailing were faintly heard. Lu Tong thought that Ning Ming couldn't hear it, so he began to abuse the maid again. Ning Ming closed the door of the main courtyard and then the door of the room, feeling that he finally Cleaned up.
After relaxing, I felt a little sleepy, and it seemed like I had gone back to the past, where Hyun and the children were playing in the yard.
But gradually, the happy play became noisy, and suddenly he woke up. It was not Hyun and the children playing but someone was banging on the door, and the door was about to be broken down.
He stood up angrily, opened the door and shouted:
"Smash what?!"
Lu Tong outside was startled, shrank back, and whispered:
"My lord, those cheap slaves are leaving. They are rebelling against each other! They also say that the palace is not their master and there is no need for them to be here."
Ning Fang was stunned, pushed her away and walked out. He followed the noise and saw six servants packing their bags to leave and quarreling with Lu Tong's dowry maids.
Seeing Ning Yu coming, one of the men came up and said:
"Your Majesty, although you are a prince, you are not our master. We have to find the master."
Ning Feng was stunned, remembering that Hyun seemed to have mentioned something to him.
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden clear slap in the face. Ning Yu came back from his memories and saw that it was Lu Tong who slapped the man on the face. He looked at the thin arms and legs, but he slapped the man out in one go. With a nosebleed and a clear slap mark on his face, Ning Fang lowered his head and looked at Lu Tong's hand.
Lu Tong said like a matron:
"Bold slave! You eat the prince's food, drink the prince's food, and actually say that the prince is not your master! What's the use of keeping such an unfaithful and unjust slave? Drag him down and kill him with a cane!" But Jiazi and the others didn't move. Lu Tong Turning to look at them, he leaned against Ning Yu again and said, "Your Majesty, they don't listen to me, what else can I do with such a slave?"
Jiazi and the others glanced at Lu Tong. Jiazi and the other eight were Ning Fang's bodyguards. They had a superior-subordinate relationship with Ning Fang, not a master-servant relationship. They only listened to Ning Fang's command. The reason why they also listened to Huan before was because Because of Ning Yu's relationship, and also because they sincerely obeyed Hyun, and Hyun wouldn't let them do anything too much. He just helped them with a little effort, unlike Lu Tong who bossed them around as if they were their superiors.
Ning Feng ignored Lu Tong, ignored the person hanging on his body, took out 100 yuan and handed it to the beaten man:
"Let's go."
Lu Tong secretly smiled. Although he failed to kill these people as he wished, he finally wiped out all traces of Xun. As for the garden, if no one takes care of it, time will erase it. This palace is finally all hers. Marked! (To be continued)
