Dingjiangshan

After ten days of cultivation, Ning Yan had to return to court, but it was because of his rebellious third brother, how ironic it was.

After the Nanyang Mansion's military order entered the palace, Ning Yan tacitly allowed Ning Huaijin to spread the news, not to mention causing a storm all over the city.

Almost all those who had connections at home found out about this before going to court the next morning.

Even Ning Yan lacked a great virtue, and found that Baba passed the news to Renshou Palace, saying that Ruan Yin would also "have fun" to see Ning Zheng's majesty.

I heard that Ruan Yin finally broke down the three porcelain vases with her own hands that night without holding on to the graceful and luxurious air of the queen mother. It can be seen that she was in a hurry.

The clansmen who used to come to Ning Yan to lobby for a few words were like cocks whose necks had been strangled, one by one faster than the other, and finally did not dare to say in front of Ning Yan, "Mother is kind and son is filial." " and the like hit him.

"Did you see?" Ning Yan stretched out his arms, and said with a smile to He Wenting: "They also know that the queen mother is of course closer to the parents and children, so when they heard that the third brother led the troops out of the city, they didn't dare Come to persuade me."

Although people are not grass and trees, it is natural to have a scale in the heart of relatives and relatives, but if this matter is placed in the emperor's house, it can't be counted like this.

Whether it is father and son, brothers, or mother and son, as long as there is a bit of "throne", the word "Jun" must be the first, and there is no exception.

So He Wenting took off his robe for him, and said flatly: "Ruan Yin's mother and son are ambitious, and they have failed the holy grace."

"...Indeed." Ning Yan lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "I have failed me, and I have also failed my father."

He Wenting straightened out his robe, then picked out two compliant and thin leather sleeves from the tray at the side, and tied them around Ning Yan's wrists.

The story of Ning Yan's poisoning cannot be spread to the outside world, so it is not good to set up a stove in the Hall of Qinzheng with great fanfare, nor can he go out with a hand stove in full view, so he can only make the next best thing and give him more clothes to keep out the cold.

"Your Majesty." Linglong lifted the curtain and walked in from the outside, saluted, and said: "The courtesy officer in front of me said that the adults have already prepared everything."

"The one who came today was a quarter of an hour earlier than usual." Ning Yan smiled and said, "I must have been unable to sleep last night."

——It’s not just sleepless nights.

Shen Hansheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, turned his head and looked at each other with Shangshu of Hubu, at the same time, he saw the same wry smile on the other side's face.

——What kind of luck is this year? The two famous and important ministers thought to themselves at the same time, King Changle is planning to live a good life, but for the sake of the throne, he doesn't even want fame.

From ancient times to the present, rebellion has also been said to be rebellious.Looking around, the folk laborers are forced to retreat by the world, which is called an uprising; the royal family and aristocrats seize power, which is called "regime change", there is always a saying.

But Ning Zheng insisted on making such a big fanfare and rebelling against the emperor's relatives. He wanted to give the whole world his handle and let everyone in the world know that he was trying to usurp the throne. Trying to kill his own brother in vain.

Not to mention anything else, when history books are compiled in the future, there will be a lot to fill in here.

"Why did this happen all of a sudden." Shen Hansheng gritted his teeth, and complained to his colleagues in a low voice: "What a crime, you have to make waves when the weather is calm."

"Ouch, brother Shen, please don't say a few words." The Minister of the Household Department also had a lot of worries last night, Lao Gao with swollen cheeks, and hissed the cool breeze when he spoke: "Didn't you hear that the king of Changle knocked on you?" The door knocked and went to Nanyang Mansion. Nanyang Mansion is only a few steps away from the capital, if you are more ruthless, it doesn't matter what your reputation is."

"It's a bunch of nonsense." Shen Hansheng raised his brows upright, and said righteously: "This kind of traitor and traitor, still want to break into the capital?"

"Tsk tsk tsk——" Hubu Shangshu straightened his teeth: "You are pedantic, and you are also a phoenix son and dragon grandson born by the empress dowager herself, a serious son of eight hundred. I am thinking, the king of Changle may have been in the past ten years. I’ve never been used to this softness.”

"Don't care what he is." Shen Hansheng snorted coldly: "From the day when the army rebelled, they are all rebellious officials and thieves."

"Okay, okay, I won't tell you." Hubu Shangshu had been his classmate for many years and knew his character well, so he didn't bother to say more to him.

"If you want me to say, with that kind of skill, we might as well worry about ourselves." The Minister of the Household Department sighed: "In a real fight, as long as the soldiers move, eat, drink, live, and travel, it's all money."

"That's true." Shen Hansheng also sighed, almost seeing his desk full of documents in the future.

"This matter can't be done anymore." Hubu Shangshu pouted at the front of the queue and said in a low voice, "I always feel like we're going to have a big fight."

At the head of the important ministers, Ning Huaijin, who had been "sick" for almost half a year, returned to the court.As usual, he stood in his original position impartially, quietly, but he could not be ignored, as if the "disappearance without reason" in the previous period was really a situation created by him and Ning Yan.

"It's the common people who are suffering." Shen Hansheng sighed vaguely.

"Hey—" Before he finished sighing, he was elbowed on the arm by Shangshu Hubu.

"Stop talking." Hubu Shangshu squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "Your Majesty is coming."

Shen Hansheng hurriedly turned his head and found that Ning Yan had already walked out from the back hall.Shen Hansheng lowered his head following the singing, followed by the officials and shouted long live, and missed Ning Yan's glance at the officials when he was seated.

"I think everyone already knows what happened yesterday." Ning Yan glanced at the courtiers in the palace one by one, and said softly, "Third brother did such a thing, and I am also very sad."

"Your Majesty." The Minister of Rites hurriedly said, "It is a big mistake for the king of Changle to leave the fief without permission, but he may not really have the intention of arrogating himself. Maybe he made the mistake because of his lack of etiquette. If your majesty doesn't send someone to ask first, So as not to cause any misunderstanding between the brothers."

Ning Yan knew him. During the imperial examination two years ago, this man was favored by Ruan Yin's faction, and he could be regarded as Ruan Yin's person in the imperial court. Back then, Ning Yan turned a blind eye when he sold his face. Ren Ruan Yin stuffed him into the Ministry of Rites.

Ning Zheng's matter happened too urgently. In just one night, Ruan Yin didn't have time to deliver the letter, and the people outside had no idea, so they could only try to stop it for a while.

"Liu Shilang is very well informed." Ning Huaijin said suddenly.

Seeing him talking, Ning Yan raised his eyebrows in surprise, temporarily put away what he was thinking, leaned back, and looked at Ning Huaijin with great interest.

He simply turned half sideways, looked at the "Liu Shilang", and said: "Your Majesty didn't say anything, but Liu Shilang was the first to excuse King Changle. I know that you are doing it for His Majesty's brothers from the Tian family." Don't worry about your dignity, if you don't know, you may think that you are admonishing His Majesty here without distinction of right and wrong, and you are arbitrary."

The servant of the Ministry of Rites was almost in a cold sweat because of his few words, and he was complaining incessantly, and he didn't know that Prince Gong, who had never been talkative in court, had somehow become so aggressive today.

But he never had the guts to argue with Ning Huaijin in front of Ning Yan—who didn't know that Ning Yan thought that his little uncle was more important than his own uncles, so he would dare to confront him.

"Your Majesty's lesson!" He hastily bowed deeply to Ning Yan, and said, "I never intend to do that as a minister."

Ning Yan was watching Ning Huaijin stand out for him with relish, and he was in a good mood, even if he was suddenly dragged into this verbal fight, he was still smiling.

"Actually, I think what Liu Qing said is also reasonable." Ning Yan said: "How about this, Liu Qing, if you want, you can also go to Nanyang Mansion and talk to the third brother on the spot about 'etiquette', how about it? "

The servant of the Ministry of Rites just wanted to persuade, but he didn't want to involve himself in it. Hearing this, he fell to his knees with a plop, and said with a forced smile, "Your Majesty...Your Majesty was joking."

Ning Yan withdrew his smile, glanced at him condescendingly, and didn't force him anymore.

His expression fell in the eyes of the important officials, that is a proper dismount.The courtier who originally wanted to say a few words also silently withdrew his feet, and lowered his head like a bored quail.

"Third brother can't think about it like this, and I'm also very sad." Ning Yan said calmly: "I and third brother are blood brothers, but the late emperor handed over the world to my hands, and I have to be worthy of the people of the world before I can fulfill my brotherhood." .”

"Your Majesty said it." Jiang Xiaohan took over the conversation at the right time, and sang the scene with him one red and one white: "The king of Changle led his troops out of the fief for no reason, and led his troops to take Nanyang Mansion. Such ambitions are disregarding the world. , disregarding the face of the Tian family."

——What a mouth that can confuse black and white, thought Shu Qinghui, who was standing in the last row.

The Yin of Nanyang Mansion was cautious, and had noticed Ning Zheng's change as early as when he was far away, and reported it to the capital early.Although all civil and military officials in the court knew what Ning Zheng was up to, after all, Ning Zheng hadn't "made a move", so there was always room for it.But when Master Jiang opened his mouth, he labeled him as sending troops to violate the border. It can be seen that Ning Yan wanted to crucify Ning Zheng for this crime.

"What does Shu Qing think?" Ning Yan asked suddenly.

It was not too surprising that Shu Qinghui was named by him.He walked out of the queue slowly, saluted with an almost numb expression, and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me, I'm just a civil servant who doesn't understand the facts of using troops, so I dare not speak nonsense."

"Oh——" Ning Yan said: "Shu Qing is right, then I should ask a knowledgeable person——What does General Zhen Guo think?"

Xie Jue knew these things in the first few days. These days, he has pushed the sand table at home several times, and he has already memorized the terrain of Huainan area by heart.

"Return to Your Majesty." Xie Jue said: "King Changle's fief is located on the border of the Yangtze River, and on the left is Jiangzhou, which is quite close to the hinterland of the Central Plains. Judging from the Nanyang Governor's request for help, he went straight to Nanyang—presumably because he wanted to Take down Nanyang first, and form a corner with the two cities of Xinyang. In this way, both the left and right wings will respond, so as not to be surrounded by others, and a hole can be torn from the hinterland of the Central Plains."

"Then according to General Xie, what should we do now?" Ning Yan asked.

Xie Jue paused, seemed to think for a moment, then cupped his hands, and recited the method they discussed in the palace before.

"According to my opinion, the army should be dispatched to protect Nanyang now." Xie Jue said, "Then dispatch the troops to stop King Changle and his party from the hinterland of the Central Plains, so as to relieve the emergency."

Ning Yan knocked on the handrail, his eyes scanned all the people in the hall, and finally nodded.

"Since that's the case—" Ning Yan said, "Then let's do this."
