"I have a younger brother who is in his early thirties. He is hard-working and loyal to the emperor. However, he has never encountered many opportunities for his uprightness. I think that investigating Master Zhuo to eliminate harm for the country requires him to be so upright. No. He who knows how to lie does it.”
Ning Sheng almost laughed out loud when he heard this. He held it in for a long time before suppressing his laughter. Fortunately, Mr. Dou kept his head down, otherwise he would have seen Ning Sheng's face turn red as he suppressed his laughter.
There was no reply from Ning Sheng. Master Dou thought that Ning Sheng was hesitant, but Ning Sheng did not reject it outright like before, indicating that there was still a chance. He knelt down and knelt on the ground:
"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no selfish motives. It has been my brother's wish for many years to contribute to the Emperor. However, he has an upright personality and a clear sense of right and wrong, which has offended many people. Please give me a chance, Your Majesty."
Ning Sheng suppressed his smile, calmed his mind, and then spoke slowly:
"Okay, I believe in Lord Dou, and I also believe in Lord Dou's younger brother. Let's leave this matter to Lord Dou's younger brother."
After Lord Dou came out of the palace, he quickly ran to find Dou Xiao. Although Ning Sheng didn't promise him anything, the name "Emperor" was a promise. As long as it could be done, how could he not be without their brothers?
After Dou Xiao heard this, he went to the palace to see Ning Sheng in the afternoon.
Ning Sheng felt very bad when he saw Dou Xiao. Mr. Dou might have lost some muscles in his face because of his old age, so he looked a little better. But this Dou Xiao, not to mention his pointed mouth and monkey cheeks, was as long as a noodle. He was really a The scholar was powerless. Ning Sheng was suddenly worried that such a thin person would fall apart before reaching Dongbian Pass.
Even though Dou Xiao restrained himself and pretended to be upright and honest, his small, bright eyes still fell into Ning Sheng's eyes:
Such a person can be dealt with.
Dou Xiao packed up his things and set off early the next morning. He actually rode a horse instead of a carriage. Now even Eunuch Hao was a little worried whether the noodle would be turned into flour on the way.
He turned around and followed Ning Sheng to the study room in the harem, but Ning Sheng did not read. Instead, he touched the marks of Hyun's movements when he read the book. His face was full of nostalgia, with a smile on his lips and a doting look in his eyes. Eunuch Hao couldn't figure it out. What song was Ning Sheng singing from?
Eunuch Hao helped Ning Sheng to the escalator. Ning Sheng touched the area where the paint had peeled off and said:
"Do you still remember that time when I found out that I could read?"
Eunuch Hao glanced at Ning Sheng, lowered his head and replied:
"I remember, Hyun was very flustered and frightened by King Yi."
Ning Sheng smiled and said:
"Yes, in fact, I have long suspected that she can read, but I don't understand why she wants to hide it. I almost laughed out loud when I saw her panic that day. Do you think she is stupid? What kind of book can make her so fascinated? ."
Eunuch Hao thought for a while and said:
"Hyun suddenly came to the palace. She doesn't trust anything around her. It's inevitable to be defensive. Moreover, the emperor loves her, so she has to guard against the concubines' dirty tricks."
Ning Sheng nodded and turned to look at the various books on the bookshelf:
"A person with so many things in her head actually has to pretend to be stupid to protect herself. Is she smart or not?"
"Although there are many things in Hyun's head, he has no scheming and cannot play..." He glanced at Ning Sheng and changed his words to "Can't play with the concubines' dirty tricks. I can only stay away from them by pretending to be stupid. If it weren't for Queen Renhui If she presses harder and harder, Hyun must still be pretending to be crazy and acting stupid in the harem."
Ning Sheng sighed:
"Yeah, I really hope she stays stupid like that."
As he spoke, his hand touched the place where the paint had been rubbed off by Hyun.
Eunuch Hao observed carefully and then said:
"However, if it weren't for those ideas from Hyun, I don't know if we could be so peaceful."
As soon as he finished speaking, the warmth in Ning Sheng's eyes disappeared instantly, and the emperor's reason returned, ruthless and cold. Eunuch Hao secretly complained, wanting to say something nice for Hyun.
Sure enough, Ning Sheng snorted coldly, got down the stairs and left the study with some anger.
Xuan, who was standing among a pile of maps in the room, suddenly saw Wu Tiedan rushing in while shouting:
"Master Zhuo! Master Zhuo! Oh no, the emperor has sent another deputy supervisor named Dou Xiao!"
Hearing the name, Hyun raised his head from the map:
"Dou Xiao! Are you sure your name is Dou Xiao?!"
Wu Tiedan didn't understand why Xuan had such a big reaction, and rubbed his head in confusion:
"Well, it's Dou Xiao."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hyun had already rushed out in a gust of wind.
There was some excitement along the way:
Is it really Dou Xiao? Did he also wear it? Do you want him to sign an autograph? If it is really him, do I have an extra helper? Well - if he is willing, he can replace me. It would be nice for me to go wandering around, ah, this is so selfish! But is it really Dou Xiao? Is there finally a similar person?!
Thinking about it in such a mess, the more I thought about it, the more excited I became, and my heart was shaking uncontrollably.
He walked quickly towards Dou Xiao, but when he saw Dou Xiao clearly from a distance, he couldn't help but curse:
"Grandpa! Is this grandpa here to make you laugh?!"
She sighed and walked back angrily. Monk Wu Tiedan Zhanger who was following her was confused.
Ning Sheng sent Dou Xiao here, and apart from letting him monitor Xuan, he didn't give him any other rights, because Ning Sheng knew these brothers, and if they were given some rights to such people, I'm afraid they would be able to develop these rights one day. In order to overturn his ability, at the border, after all, Dou Xiao's title is Deputy Supervisor, and the soldiers don't understand it. Yang Yanyang and the others know Dou Xiao's character, so they all avoid him. Xuan also treats him I just wanted to see what he could do and to what extent he could do it.
For Dou Xiao, he believed that he was appointed by the emperor. Although he did not announce it to the outside world, he still had Ning Sheng to support him. In addition, everyone here avoided him, so he felt like he was "turning over." He was bold and bold, walking in a square step with his hands behind his back, no longer shrinking like when he was in the capital.
One day, Yang Yanyang came out of the meeting hall angrily and happened to see Hyun wandering leisurely not far away. He felt even more angry and rushed to Hyun with a gust of wind and shouted:
"Don't you understand why you are asked to come to the border? It's best to be self-aware!"
After saying that, he left angrily.
Hyun was wondering on the spot, what did he mean by rushing over to tell her this? Turning around to look in the direction he came from, he saw the chief and deputy commanders, some generals and Dou Xiao filing out of the meeting hall. Everyone looked bad. When they saw Hyun all looking at her with a look of hatred, Dou Xiao was the only one who was so proud that he looked at Hyun as if he were a dead person.
Can Hyun still not understand what is going on in this scene? Then he looked in the direction Yang Yanyang left:
It seems that Sheeptongue is not an evil person.
Then he looked at Dou Xiao, who was wandering as he walked, and moved his gaze towards the capital:
I don’t know what I said to my brother again.
Thinking of the title "brother", I was stunned for a moment, and then a feeling of desolation appeared on my face. I raised a mocking bitter smile on my face, and then continued my leisurely pace.
As expected by Xuan, Dou Xiao told Ning Sheng that Xun and Tuoba Shiyi had been exchanging letters and that it was treason and surrender to the enemy. Throw it aside.
He knew that Huan had written letters to Tuoba Shi Yijian, not only her, but also Jiang Wu, but every time they used official channels, even if Huan went to the border, her letters to Shi Yijian still went through the official channel. Official channels, so Ning Sheng knows better than Dou Xiao about the correspondence between the two. If you can use this to kill Xun, why wait now?
Ning Sheng picked up another letter that was sent back. The letter was all about impeaching other officials. Ning Sheng read the first sentence and threw it to the ground angrily:
"Let him go because he's keeping an eye on Hyun. He really thinks of himself as a supervisor?!" He asked Eunuch Hao, "Should I go with someone else?"
Eunuch Hao thought:
The most important thing to change is the emperor’s thoughts.
But he didn't dare to say this:
"The emperor asked me such a profound question, but it stumped me. I only know how to serve the emperor."
Ning Sheng snorted and leaned back in the chair again. After much deliberation, it seemed that only Dou Xiao was suitable. The villain was suitable for such a place.
Dou Xiao confidently waited for two or three months but saw no movement. Not only did the punishment for Xuun not come down, but the punishment for other officials also didn't come down. Feeling a little frustrated, he wrote to Mr. Dou and told him about it. Encourage him not to lose heart and to come up with something more powerful.
Hyun washed off the black dust and took Huami and Yaoer around the streets. When they were tired, they found a food stall to rest and eat.
Probably influenced by the environment since he was a child, he calls Yaoer Master Hyun, and Yaoer also calls him Master Hyun and Grandpa Huami. Not only does he not feel unhappy, but he actually thinks it is very interesting, because he can see his daily life. The other face of those who nodded and bowed was that they thought this was very funny.
The three of them were eating and chatting when they suddenly heard a voice coming from afar:
"Jiang Dou is out! Stay away! Stay away!"
Before he finished speaking, the vendors and pedestrians on both sides hurriedly gave way, and then they felt vibrations under their feet, and several figures on horseback galloped past with a piece of flying loess.
Hyun and Huami couldn't help but be shocked. Something must have happened to Dou Xiao to be in such a hurry.
When I was about to go back, I suddenly heard the stall owner curse:
"You go back and forth like this several times a day, and you can't let people do business anymore?! Look! Look! When they go there, everything will be covered with a layer of loess! They are rushing to reincarnate!"
A diner lowered his head to look at the food he was holding in his arms, dusted it off symbolically, and put it on the table to eat:
"Stop talking, let Supervisor Dou listen to you. Look at Lao Zhao's shop opposite, and shut up."
The boss looked up at the sealed shop opposite, sighed and cleaned things.
Hyun's face was gloomy. Although she was popular here, she was not a commander-in-chief or a high-ranking official. Even if she was a border officer, she would not stand out as a third-rank official. In addition, Hyun didn't care about anything, so she didn't know that Dou Xiao could actually do it. So arrogant.
Yao'er watched the dirt fall, then took out the food from his arms, climbed on the bowl and smelled it carefully to make sure it was not broken before he started eating. After eating, he saw that both Hyun and Huami looked bad, so he put the bowl away first. Put it on the stool, then climb down by yourself, then take the bowl to the boss, and say in a sweet voice:
"Grandpa, it's delicious, I want more."
The stall owner felt a little heavy. It was not easy for ordinary people to make a living, especially in the ancient times when hierarchies were clearly defined. How could ordinary people like them survive when they encountered such a monstrous official?
Suddenly hearing Yao'er's voice, my heart felt soft. I looked down and saw a pink child. Although he was wearing coarse linen clothes, his temperament was different from ordinary people. He knelt down and asked:
