Better to live forever [Rebirth]

Dajing is very tolerant of masculinity.

The reason is that when Taizu founded the country, there were two beloved generals under his command who both wanted to marry wives, but they lived next to each other and treated each other as husband and wife.These two generals were still highly valued by Emperor Taizu after the founding of the dynasty, and held high positions in the court. Their grandeur and grandeur naturally attracted attention.

At that time, there was a censor who was not afraid of revenge with the two ministers, and sued the two powerful ministers for their injustice, and asked the emperor Taizu to judge.

Unexpectedly, the Emperor Taizu actually publicly stated: "When I employ people, I look at their talents and their character. If they have both, they are the pillars of Dajing. As long as the children's personal affairs do not disturb the court, then it is a man or a woman, and what is the relationship with the Qing family?" Dry?"

The founding queen Ning Zhao personally presided over the wedding for the two powerful officials, read out the imperial decree, and allowed them to marry each other.

It is precisely because of this that after so many years, Dajing is more tolerant of masculinity than the Xiongnu, who are tough folk.It's just an unwritten rule that those who marry a man's wife can enter the court as an official, but the man's wife cannot enter the official career again, even if the two parties leave, they cannot enter the official career as an official.

As for the selection of the heir by the royal family, apart from meritorious talents, the most important thing is the succession of the heirs.

Therefore, if Emperor Zhenyuan asked to marry a male wife, it would be tantamount to ruining his way to heaven.

The Emperor Zhenyuan that Zhu Dingbei knew was an ambitious man who took imperial power as the sky. He never expected that when he was young and frivolous, he would give up the right to inherit the throne for one person.

Zhu Dingbei swallowed his saliva, and asked Ning Heng one after another: "Is it really his companion? When did the emperor propose to marry him, before or after that companion was executed? Did the late emperor agree?"

Several questions popped out of his mouth.

Seeing that he didn't want to sleep at all, Ning Heng knew that he wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight if he didn't tell the truth about his itch, so he cheered up and replied, "It's him. When he was brought out of the prison, he asked the late emperor to marry him, hoping to get the late emperor to spare his life. The late emperor did not agree, nor did he veto it. However, after two days of kneeling outside the Zhengyang Palace, the late emperor let go. But... when His Majesty returns to the mansion, the companion has disappeared, and he does not know whether he is dead or alive."

Zhu Dingbei gasped.

This is amazing.

He had heard from his grandmother and grandpa earlier that His Majesty's beloved had died, and the cause of "her" death was also related to the empress's family.

Just looking at the emperor's indifference to the empress for so many years, one can know that Emperor Zhenyuan still has some affection for his companion.

"What is his origin? What is his name, is he still alive?"

Zhu Dingbei grabbed Ning Heng's hand and asked nervously.The first emperor killed countless families, and he couldn't match up for a while, and couldn't guess the identity of the companion.

"His family used to be the Minister of the late emperor's official department, surnamed Liang, and the companion was the third son, born in the same year, the same month and the same day as His Majesty. It was also because of this that the late emperor appointed him as His Majesty's companion. As for whether he is dead or alive , the Ning family can't be sure, [-]% probably should be dead."

Ning Heng told him in a down-to-earth manner, and took advantage of the situation to hold his hand, kneading it as if there was no strength.

Zhu Dingbei: "His unknown life and death are related to Ma Taifu?"

It was rumored so, and Zhu Dingbei was also very curious about whether it was true or not.

Ning Heng shook his head: "At that time, the third prince, the fourth prince, and the fifth prince were fighting for the heir apparent. Your Majesty was still very young, and Ma Taifu didn't pay much attention to him."

Zhu Dingbei thought so too. At that time, who would have expected that there would be an accident in Fengqi Mountain, and the several princes who were expected by everyone were buried there, so that the humble Seventh Prince would have a day to ascend the throne.That being the case, Ma Taifu naturally didn't need to kill the man and wife whom Emperor Zhenyuan valued because of the so-called queen position.

It seems that people are chasing rumors and spreading rumors.

"Then why is the emperor so unkind to the empress?"

Zhu Dingbei wondered, if it wasn't for this enmity, with Emperor Zhenyuan's calm and rational character, how could he marry the queen and not even give her the dignity of being the mother of the world.

Ning Heng thought for a while and said, "The old man in the palace once saw that the empress burned some of His Majesty's private possessions during a quarrel. It seems that there are all the relics of Young Master Liang. Since that day, His Majesty has rarely set foot in Kunning Palace."

"I didn't expect the emperor to be so affectionate."

Zhu Dingbei said something nonchalantly, and then said in a low voice, "I'm afraid that Third Young Master Liang may not accept his favor."

Ning Heng patted him on the back, and said: "Liang Sanshao is indeed a traitor of His Majesty. The whole family of Liang's family was convicted at that time. It was reported by Zheng Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment at that time, and Prime Minister Chen presided over the trial. Later, after His Majesty ascended the throne, he was the first to attack the Zheng family and asked them to be buried with the Liang family. The reason why Chen Gel was neglected by His Majesty was partly because of the Liang family."

Zhu Dingbei let out a "huh" and said, "No wonder Your Majesty hates Mrs. Zheng so much. They have been dead for so many years, and the incident of Concubine Li giving birth to a stillborn baby can still involve Mrs. Zheng. I am afraid that Your Majesty can't wait to escape their corpses." Come out and take a whip every day."

After hearing this, Ning Heng smiled and said: "The dead are gone, no matter how much you hate, there is nowhere to place your hatred."

Zhu Dingbei snorted and wanted to ask again, but suddenly felt sleepy and yawned long.

He felt something was wrong, opened his eyes and asked Ning Heng: "What did you do to my hand?"

Seeing that he was already feeling drowsy, Ning Heng let go of the hand rubbing the acupuncture points on his hand, and said softly: "It's nothing, go to sleep quickly, and you have to get up early tomorrow."

Zhu Dingbei glanced at him, but felt his eyelids getting heavier and heavier, muttered a few times, and gradually fell into a deep sleep.Ning Heng breathed a sigh of relief, he moved closer, felt Zhu Dingbei's breathing, and secretly thought that tomorrow he would hear about Shui Sheng's master sleeping during this time.This guy is really not a good patient who follows the doctor's orders.

I don't know where Ning Heng pressed on his hand, but he slept very well that night.Naturally, he was full of energy on the second day, and in the afternoon it happened to be his favorite riding and archery class. Zhu Dingbei had a good time to relax his muscles and bones, and when he returned to Zhenbeihou's mansion, he was still in high spirits.

Zhu San was happy to see him, and he was also very happy when he talked to him: "Today, the mansion entertained a guest who brought your jade pendant. The old marquis arranged to stay in our mansion, and told me to wait When the young master comes back, please go to the study to talk."

Sure enough.

Zhu Dingbei raised his eyebrows, quickened his pace and walked to the study in the front yard.

Old Hou Ye had been waiting for him for a while, and when he saw his grandson coming in, he pulled him to sit down and said, "Why did you go to the martial arts casino without telling Grandpa? What can I do?"

Zhu Dingbei confessed to Ning Heng unceremoniously: "That is the property of Ah Heng's family, what can be done with him. Grandpa, tell me quickly, what's the matter with Qian Hui coming to the house today? "

Mentioning this, the old Hou Ye sighed, and said a little depressed: "Do you know that he is Dou Changdong's adoptive son? I didn't expect that after more than ten years, that son-in-law has become so unstoppable."

Zhu Dingbei didn't make a sound to appease his emotion, just looked at him, waiting for the following.

"This Qian boy has some real skills, but Dou Changdong wants to give the position to his own son, so he has been suppressing him to prevent him from getting ahead. He is also very unlucky. He was found wrong and demoted to the kitchen to do odd jobs. It can also smash the fact that Dou Changdong's Zhonglang general pretended to be the leader of the army." As he said, the old Hou Ye laughed, "This kid's brain was eaten by a dog, and after he broke it, he ran to report to Dou Changdong and surrendered himself. snare."

Zhu Dingbei frowned: "Dou Changdong pretended to be the leader of the army? It seems that he did it more than once or twice. He is really courageous."

In the army, it's not that there are no incidents of pretending to be a leader. The most common thing is to report an enemy soldier twice, and get double the military merit.

The Zhu family's army is strict and there are people who have cunning minds, not to mention the soldiers brought out by Dou Changdong, a crooked leader.Moreover, Liangzhou has frequent wars all year round, and the Qiang and Huns harass it from time to time. As long as the military wants to fake it, as long as it does not exceed common sense, no one will find out.

"Those Zhonglang generals dared to do this, there must be Dou Changdong's instruction. Boy Qian almost died at the hands of his adoptive father before he escaped from the barracks."

The old Hou Ye continued: "He has been wandering outside for two years, and this time he came here for the martial arts, and wanted to use it to join the army. He can be regarded as a sincere child, but it is a pity that he met such a foster father."

"After so long, Dou Changdong still thinks that Qian Hui is a great threat to him. It seems that the crime he committed is not just pretending to be a leader." Zhu Dingbei sneered, and said to the old Hou Ye: "Grandpa wants to Remind Dad to check on Dou Changdong's situation, so as not to cause civil strife in Liangzhou."

Zhu Dingbei, this is for the sake of insurance.

In the last life of Liangzhou, apart from the war with foreign enemies, the interior of the state capital was relatively peaceful.

However, that was under the premise that Qian Hui was dead.If Qian Hui hadn't died and lived in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, what would Dou Changdong do to the Zhu family if he found out.It's better to pinch the opponent's seven inches in your hand first, so as not to be bitten back by Dou Changdong.

Old Hou Ye also had the same idea, but there was one more thing.

He took out a piece of sheepskin from his pocket and handed it to Zhu Dingbei: "The seal on it, can you help grandpa to see if it belongs to Sima Yuqi?"

Zhu Dingbei knew what the sheepskin scroll was without looking at it, but he still unfolded it, read it carefully, and said, "Grandpa got this half sheepskin scroll from Qian Hui?"

"Well, I don't know what it is." The old Hou Ye sniffed the aroma of wine coming out of the spout of the wine pot, and said to Zhu Dingbei: "Boy Qian said that he didn't know how it appeared in his package, but the day before yesterday In the evening, someone demanded his life because of this parchment."

Zhu Dingbei spread the sheepskin roll on the small table, knocked on the small wooden table, and asked, "Didn't Grandpa see it?"

"what?"

"This is Langya Mountain."

His delicate fingers pointed to the rough peak of the sheepskin painting mountain.

The old Hou Ye was surprised when he heard it, and he turned the sheepskin painting upside down and looked at it several times, but he still couldn't tell you that this was the Langya Mountain in Xianbei Prefecture in his impression.

"Grandfather, the reason why the mountain area of ​​Langya Mountain is called Langya Mountain is because it has a sharp peak and is shaped like a wolf's tooth. Ordinary mountains are not like this."

"Just because of this...?"

Listening to his grandson's determined tone, Old Hou Ye looked at the sharp-edged peaks on the sheepskin painting, but he still couldn't see anything.This painter is definitely a novice, and he has no appreciation at all.However, since it was Sima Yuqi's personal seal, it must not have been drawn casually, and there should be deep meaning in it.

Therefore, the old Hou Ye didn't say any more, instead he looked at Zhu Dingbei and asked, "What is he painting Langya Mountain for?"

Zhu Dingbei laughed.

"Grandfather, you forgot, Sima Yuqi and His Majesty the Emperor are looking for something in Xianbei."
