[Rebirth] The lord wants a minister to die

Ning Ke is still young, but he does things very steadily.Ning Jin sent him to meet Jiang Guo's envoy, He Zhan couldn't let go, and sent someone to follow him all the way. According to people's reports, Ning Ke was neither humble nor overbearing when facing Jiang Guo's envoy.The royal demeanor mentioned by Emperor Jing Zhao can always be found in Ning Ke.

As the leader of the envoys, Xie Jinghong entered the palace together with the fourth princess Wei Yao. Because of the previous civil unrest, Xie Jinghong was not able to grasp the handle, so the matter was quickly quelled. Neither side gained the upper hand. People trembled at the welcome banquet, but fortunately, both parties lived in peace.

Xie Jinghong asked Ning Jin to keep Wei Yao in the palace on the grounds of civil unrest, in case Jiang Guo's fourth princess had any accidents in Jingguo. He said that he wanted to matchmaking and betroth Wei Yao to Ning Jin as his concubine .

Ning Jin smiled, allowed Wei Yao to live in the palace, but chose the most secluded palace for her, not to mention that Ning Jin didn't go often, even there were not many servants passing by the gate of the palace.

Wei Yao didn't cry or make trouble for a few days, she was peaceful and quiet, and when she was free, she found a bamboo forest to play the zither.

The sound of the zither spread far and far away, sometimes quiet and sometimes hurried, as cool as a clear spring on a rock, and as rustling as the wind on a high mountain. It was originally in a forbidden area like the imperial palace, but her zither was a bit like an empty mountain. Silent.

"Who's playing the piano?"

As soon as Ning Ke closed his dragon-walking posture, he heard the music coming from the direction of the bamboo forest, and couldn't help asking.The eunuch on the side said: "Oh, it should be the fourth princess from Jiang Guolai."

"Fourth princess?" Ning Ke frowned, "Didn't Jiang Guo's envoys go to the spring hunting with the emperor? Why is the fourth princess still in the palace?"

"The fourth princess is exhausted from traveling and traveling, and has been recuperating in the palace for the past few days, so she stayed in the palace."

Ning Ke said: "It seems that Jingguo's hospitality is not good enough. Go and invite the imperial physician to see the fourth princess's illness, and let them diagnose and treat her properly. Don't neglect her."

The eunuch said: "The regent has given orders today."

Ning Ke had a little smile on his face, which was not common, and the eunuch was taken aback for a moment, the smile was fleeting.Ning Ke asked: "Master...didn't you go?"

"The regent's health has not been very good. It is true that the spring hunting is high, and it is always tossing people."

Ning Ke nodded, and wanted to get the Ganoderma lucidum that the officials offered to his mother and concubine, and send it to the Duke of Zhongguo's mansion.He has never been a submissive person, but Nian has taken care of He Zhan before, and this kind of care is also deserved.

Before stepping out, the sound of the zither in the bamboo grove suddenly changed into a different tune, the air of killing and cutting came, and the sound moved the world. Obviously there was only the sound of the zither, but it seemed to bring everything back to the bloody battlefield , The roar, the sound of horseshoes, the sound of war drums, and the sound of clashing swords are all available, and the rush is like a waterfall falling to the ground, passionate and heroic.

Even the wife who listened to the sound of the zither couldn't help sighing, afraid of the presence of the master, she didn't dare to comment.

Ning Ke furrowed his eyebrows fiercely, waved his hand and sent people back, and walked towards the bamboo forest alone with his sword in hand.

This zither sound is too familiar.

A few years ago, his "adopted father" would often come to the palace, as if no iron wall could stop him.

The adoptive father would often bring him things that he had never seen before. There were so many rules in the palace that he didn't have to abide by in front of the foster father.He said that rules are set by people, and that people must be the ones who set the rules if they want to live well.When Ning Ke was young, he was very surly. The more he wanted to obey the rules, the less he wanted to obey them. Laughing and cursing all depended on his own will.When the people around saw him, no one didn't reprimand him, even those servants, who were respectful on the surface, still said in private that he didn't know how to educate.

Only there is a foster father, who often sighs that he has a true temperament. By his side, Ning Ke can do whatever he wants.

Once, he said that he wanted to leave the palace, but the adoptive father only said that it would take some time.He didn't know what his foster father had done, but he didn't have to wait long before his foster father was able to take him out of the palace.Ning Ke grew up in a deep palace, and the farthest place he has been to is Ning Zuo's Prince's Mansion. He has never even seen the prosperity of the capital.

The adoptive father is better than his biological father to him.

He went out of the palace many times privately, and once made friends with a woman named Xueyi who was next to his adoptive father.Xueyi is a few years older than him, and although she often wears a veil, she has gentle eyebrows and eyes, quite like Ning Ke's mother and concubine, Ning Ke couldn't help being close to her when she saw her when she was young.

Ning Ke has a eccentric personality, but Xue Yi has a very good temper. She never minds how Ren Ning Ke plays tricks, and sometimes secretly helps him.

Xue Yi can play the zither. This song "War Changguan" has complicated fingerings, and it is also Xue Yi's original creation. No one else can play it except her.

But the timbre of "War Changguan" was indeed played by Wei Yao. When Ning Ke followed the sound of the zither, Wei Yao sat in a green pavilion and played the qin.

When he went to meet Jiang Guo's mission, he only glanced at Wei Yao from a distance, and then she was sick in the palace, and the two had no chance to meet each other until Ning Ke's footsteps approached and Wei Yao pressed the piano Xian turned around, Ning Ke's body shook, and subconsciously called out: "Xueyi."

Wei Yao smiled, "I recognized it this time. When you came to greet me that day, seeing your indifferent expression, I thought you wouldn't recognize me."

"Is it really you? Why are you... the fourth princess? Are you from Jiang Guo?"

"Do you and I have to stand on the national level?" Wei Yao reached out and stroked the bamboo leaves on Ning Ke's shoulders.

Ning Ke grabbed her hand and asked, "You did it on purpose? Why did you lead me here?"

Wei Yao smiled and said: "You are always very smart. It's just that I thought of an idea when I was playing the piano, so I thought of you."

"What do you want to do?"

"I can't tell you yet." Wei Yao nodded at the tip of Ning Ke's nose, with a doting look on her brows, "Didn't you always want to know who the adoptive father is? I'll take you to see him, okay?"

...Indeed, Ning Ke has never seen what his adoptive father looks like.

The righteous father said that he was ugly and didn't want to show it to others.Ning Ke never cared about people's appearance, as long as his adoptive father loves him, even if he has some secrets that cannot be revealed, Ning Ke doesn't care.But as he grows older, he wants to know more and more who his adoptive father is and why he has such supernatural powers.

I also want to know, why him?Why did the adoptive father accept him as a foster son?

Wei Yao slowly clung to Ning Ke's ear, and said softly, "Ning Ke, I finally waited until you grew up. The foster father's wish can finally be fulfilled."

The location of the spring hunting is set at the hunting ground designated by the royal family. This area is often used for the assessment of Chunwei's martial arts. At the same time, people from the royal family will often come here to hunt, ride and shoot.

The camp was stationed here, and Tie Xiao rode outside to patrol, surrounding it so tightly that not a single fly would fly in.

Ning Jin and Xie Jinghong watched a fighting scene first, Xie Jinghong had a bad voice and didn't talk very often; Ning Jin had nothing to say to him, Xie Jinghong was a threat to him, and he was constantly The threat of being able to take He Zhan away, let alone talking to him, Ning Jin even wanted to kill him.

The two were relatively silent, and a fight scene was watched in utter silence, only a few officials accompanying them would applaud when they saw the brilliance.

The venue dispersed at night, Xie Jinghong and Ning Jin resigned and returned to the camp to rest, Xie Laoqi added a big cloak for him.Now that it's spring, others are gradually putting on thin shirts, but Xie Jinghong seems to be especially afraid of the cold, even if a breeze blows, he can be seen shivering.

Xie Lao Qi received Wei Yao's news and reported it to Xie Jinghong. Xie Jinghong smiled when he heard the words: "This girl...has a lot of thoughts, it's worthy of me to promote her. If that's the case, let's do what she says. She It makes sense, the time is not to wait. Ning Ke is becoming more and more disobedient, he should also know who his biological father is, and stop being like his brother."

Xie Laoqi took the order and wrote a letter with a pen, and the envelope was to be delivered to the Zhongguo Duke's mansion by name.

It's just that the "Nighthawk" who delivered the letter was brought down by Ning Jin's men before he sneaked out of the camp.

Candlelight filled the tent, and Ning Jin carefully traced the pattern.Jing Kiln has just researched the process of firing celadon, and Ning Jin wants to show He Zhan a fresh look, draw a sample by himself, and have someone make a tea set.

After the letter was delivered to the account, Ning Jin was so depressed that he didn't dare to open it for a long time.

The eunuch at the side lit an extra candle to illuminate the tent even brighter. Ning Jin sat down and opened the envelope, slowly unfolding it.

There are only a few words in the letter, and only one thing is said: Ning Ke has fallen into the hands of Xie Jinghong, if he wants to be safe, He Zhan must come in person.

Ning Jin's tense heart relaxed, and he unconsciously took a long breath.It can be seen from the letter that He Zhan doesn't seem to know that Ning Ke is Xie Jinghong's son, otherwise Xie Jinghong would not threaten him with Ning Ke.

But what is the purpose of this letter?Want to have a showdown with He Zhan?Ask him to choose between Ning Jin and his father and brother?

Ning Jin sneered, and handed the envelope to the candle, and the tongue of flame quickly licked it into his mouth. Ning Jin threw the burnt ashes into the copper basin, and ordered lightly: "Take it out."

He Zhan has always attached great importance to family ties, and it was because of this blood relationship that He Zhan brought Ning Jin by his side at first.

Because of Xie Jinghong's collusion and treason, He Zhan refused to recognize him. Ning Jin wasn't worried at all, but who knew that Ning Ke had happened.

He had sent someone to monitor Ning Zuo for his ascension to the throne.Ning Zuo seems to have been investigating one thing, Ning Jin sent someone to follow him, and found Ning Ke's life experience without any surprise.If it were someone else, he would have taken this person's life mercilessly, but... Ning Ke is He Zhan's younger brother.

He had touched He Zhan's face countless times at night, thinking carefully whether it was true or false under this skin.Does he know Ning Ke's identity?Is it... all you do is to assist Ning Ke to ascend the throne?

But whenever I think about it in depth, I feel a heart-wrenching pain.

He can bear He Zhan's use of him, and He Zhan's deception to him, but he can't bear He Zhan's lack of sincerity towards him.

Now that he got the answer from Xie Jinghong, he felt happy in his heart, but felt guilty.

If He Zhan knew that he had been so suspicious, what should He Zhan do?

——What's the point of us being suspicious of each other like this?

Ning Jin suddenly closed his eyes, not daring to think about it.

After the eunuch took out the copper basin, he replied, "It has been dealt with."

"Go, send someone to Qingfeng Mountain to order Yang Zuodu to come and see him."

Even though He Zhan didn't know that Ning Ke was his younger brother, he always regarded him as his apprentice. If this letter was sent to Duke Zhong's mansion, with He Zhan's temperament, he would definitely go to the appointment without hesitation.

If He Zhan didn't know some things, Ning Jin hoped that he would never know.

In the face of this choice, Ning Jin didn't want to give him any chance to choose.
