[Zhu Ning] For the sake of the country

It is up to the prince to dispose of it. "Ji Rong looked up with a smile.

Jin Yiwei belongs to the emperor, no one in the world dares to deal with them, King Ning only looked at the whip in his hand, "It's business, how can I bother you." He turned his head and found that he was passing by Zheng Wang's mansion, not only Jin Yiwei, the Ministry of Punishment, Officials such as the Ministry of Officials also come and go here, which is very lively.

Everyone in the court knew that King Ning had killed King Zheng with a single sword to save Daming. Fortunately, Ji Rong did not reveal King Ning's identity, otherwise King Ning would definitely be surrounded by everyone here.

Prince Zheng's Mansion was confiscated by the imperial court, and the once glorious and majestic mansion is now in a state of wailing and ruined.The emperor's attack was very ruthless, and the wrath of thunder came instantly. In ancient times, the winners and losers died without a place to die. King Ning watched from afar for a while on his horseback, ignored Jin Yiwei, and left directly.Before I entered the city, I asked Ye Zi to bring the token of the former emperor to Li Feng. I don’t know where she has gone now, but it doesn’t matter where she goes. Don’t go back to the capital again. The land of dreams for the brave.

The sound of cicadas was interrupted and the courtyard was quiet. King Ning raised his glass and drank alone in the study room with the most elegant scenery in the palace. Eating food is really delicious and exquisite.King Ning had no intention of cherishing food. He filled the jade-like white porcelain cup with wine, raised the cup, looked at the fine nectar and jade dew in the cup, and still brooded over what happened during the day. What a pity. Years of planning It was about to be realized, but it came to an abrupt end, and in such a clumsy way, the army came to the capital from thousands of miles from the feudal land, but there was no use for it, and they returned disappointed!He let out a sigh of relief, he was on the brink of failure, four kings, four nonsense, four idiots!Thinking of this, he was once again furious, and the fingers holding the wine glass forcefully, the wine glass shattered at the fingertips, and the entire palm was covered with wine, which flowed to the wrist and wet the cuff embroidery.A drop of wine splashed on his cheek, and another splashed into his eyes. King Ning threw the shards of the wine glass on the ground and rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand, unable to vent his anger.

"All of this today is caused by not knowing, not understanding...not understanding..." King Ning left his seat and walked to the courtyard. When I came back to report, I heard King Ning's angry reprimand, and immediately asked for instructions, "Go down and kill him!"

"No need!" He looked up at the night sky, and said coldly, "How can the light of fireflies compete with the sun and the moon!" I don't understand!With the merit of defending the city, it will be even more difficult for the general of the world's soldiers and horses to take it back. This time it is not a fluke for him!King Ning gritted his teeth in hatred, but he had no plan for the time being.

"How is the matter outside the city handled?" King Ning's anger remained undiminished, and his tone was not kind. "After the army is reorganized, we will wait for the prince's order to return to the feudal land." Ye Zi cupped her hands and said, she made a special trip to report this matter.

"Very good, I told Shan Zhou to get ready. The king will go ask for a king's order tomorrow, and the army will withdraw." King Ning mentioned Zhu Houzhao, and thought of all that happened today. Fortunately, the danger was saved, and the day seemed to be as long as years. "I still don't understand, you have to continue to track down everything about him!"

"Report to the lord, the emperor is here!" Before the figure in King Ning's mind was erased, Zhu Qin hurried to the courtyard to pass the message.

King Ning opened his lips lightly and let out a breath. Just as he was about to go to the main entrance to greet him, Zhu Houzhao had already arrived here. The servants behind him, Jin Yiwei, and the imperial guards consciously guarded the outside of the courtyard. Only two people remained in the garden.

"My minister sees the emperor..." Before King Ning could finish his sentence, Zhu Houzhao held him with both hands and stopped him from kneeling down to salute. With this opportunity, Zhu Houzhao smelled King Ning's breath at close range again, which was different from the previous Qinglie. Today As if mixed with a little fragrance, like the soft smell after bathing, and without any armor on his body, King Ning changed into ocher prince clothes with a belt around his waist. He rarely wore such a color. Zhu Houzhao looked straight at it, Looking all over his body, he said courteously, "Uncle Huang has meritorious service, so there is no need to perform such a big gift." King Ning's right eye was splashed with a drop of wine, which turned a little red, and with another drop under his eye, he was completely different from his usual handsomeness, showing a little weakness Beauty is the favorite of all people in the world, even emperors are no exception, and especially, Zhu Houzhao looked at people in the double halo of the lamp under the moon, and he was almost intoxicated.

King Ning swallowed all his dissatisfaction, and opened his mouth to break Zhu Houzhao's beauty, "I don't know if the emperor came late at night, what can I give you, but I can't come out to meet you, and I hope the emperor will forgive me." King Ning said with a cold expression.

"Why should the emperor be so far away from me? Today in the Fengtian Palace, the emperor has humbled many times. Now it's just you and me, so you don't have to stick to those red tapes." Zhu Houzhao was in a good mood today after he had solved his many years of troubles. He smiled and said Ning Wang pulled into the room.

Zhu Houzhao has long discovered that, unlike the extravagant and gorgeous style of the Daming princes, the Prince Ning's mansion is grand but simple. At first glance, the emperor's uncle's residence is very elegant and refined, and the subtleties can be seen. The materials are exquisite and extraordinary everywhere, just like this study room, The wall is covered with custom-made bookcases made of precious wood. Countless precious books are neatly placed and displayed in an orderly manner. Liancheng's jade wares, lacquer wares, porcelain wares, and especially tea-tasting utensils are extremely ingenious. King Ning's lineage has always been the most elegant among the kings, but this generation is not only resourceful and elegant, but also a little more fierce.

In the center of the study room is a huge desk, on which are placed the four treasures of the study, and there is a folding fan next to the inkstone. Zhu Houzhao recognized at a glance that they bought it together at the Jiangnan Meilong Town Market. The bamboo fan is still dripping green. Unexpectedly, King Ning still kept such common folk objects.

"Uncle Emperor, I'm here to tell you some good news. The Oirats have indeed retreated at the border. The Uncle Emperor's strategy of using the Tatars to contain them is indeed miraculous. If I don't give up every single soldier in Ming Dynasty, I will solve the danger of the border hanging upside down. Uncle Huang really deserves the credit." Zhu Houzhao unfolded the fan and swayed it lightly, the heat of the day was still left in the summer night, the fan swayed and the breeze blew in, even without wine, it was intoxicating.

Of course, King Ning remembered that in the royal carriage before the ceremony, Zhu Houzhao asked him about the dangers of the border. Out of turmoil, the two broke up unhappy.King Ning understood the intention of Zhu Houzhao's words, and it was absolutely impossible for him to delve into Zhu Houzhao's feelings. , now that the Emperor is governing the Great Ming Dynasty with great fortune, those small and small countries will never dare to make mistakes."

There are all beauties in the mansion of the royal relatives and relatives, singing and singing every day. In Prince Ning’s mansion, except for the servants, there is no beauty. The plants in the courtyard are green without flowers, and all the colors belong to the owner. It seems that Zhu Houzhao is not walking into the mansion of the feudal prince. On the contrary, it is similar to the inner courtyard of Academician Ying in Guanzizai Academy, where the master never enjoys pleasure and only cares about the world.

The vassal kings of this dynasty have restricted power since their ancestors, and experienced Xuanzong’s personal conquest to wipe out the rebellion of the King of Han. The vassal kings were feared by the central government, leaving only one status. A few like the king covet power beyond their means, and King Ning's brilliance lies in his amazing talents and outstanding achievements for the country. If there is such a good minister in the court, it must be a blessing for the country, and King Ning's status as a prince can be called The most subtle point is what the late emperor warned Zhu Houzhao from time to time, intentionally or unintentionally, but the most seductive and deadly thing is the intertwining of celestial appearance and talent, which makes people sink at first sight. This emotion attaches to the soul and can no longer be abandoned.While the two were talking, Zhu Houzhao noticed that the other round table in the room was full of dishes, "Uncle Huang hasn't eaten yet?" He came to the table, picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, "It tastes so good, I didn't have time to eat dinner, so I happened to have a meal with the emperor."

The tableware was robbed, and King Ning ordered someone to add another pair. The emperor ordered him to eat with him. Zhu Houzhao seemed to be happy to take him to eat together. The two were in completely different moods. Swallow a few mouthfuls with taste.

"The emperor still has fine wine to match, come, you and I together!" Zhu Houzhao picked up the jug and filled a glass for each of them himself. Fortunately, the servants who passed on the ground just cleaned up the broken porcelain before the emperor came in, otherwise it might hurt you. And dragon feet.

"Weichen..." King Ning originally wanted to refuse to drink, but then realized that this is his own fine wine, so he changed his mouth and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Hey, you don't need to see the emperor, you and I have already said it, you and I." Zhu Houzhao was in high spirits, filled several glasses, and drank the wine from Prince Ning's Mansion contentedly.

King Ning was too lazy to think about the purpose of the emperor's trip for a while, and really wanted to get him drunk and stuff him back to the palace. Thinking of this, he got up himself, filled the small bowl on the table with wine and handed it to Zhu Houzhao , "Your Majesty, drinking like this is considered pride." The bowl is much larger than the wine glass, Zhu Houzhao glanced at the bowl, then at King Ning, the corner of King Ning's mouth was maintaining a nice curve, and he looked at him as well, Under the gaze of King Ning, Zhu Houzhao couldn't say a word of refusal anymore, and directly drank it with his back. King Ning didn't talk to him, and poured another bowl of wine. After drinking it down, he filled up the wine again, "Your Majesty, I congratulate you today..." Before King Ning could finish his sentence, Zhu Houzhao became addicted to drinking and drank it down with a smile.

King Ning was about to chase away the guests, when he saw Zhu Houzhao take out a roll of bright yellow silk from the gravel gold skirt, and King Ning recognized it as an imperial decree.Zhu Houzhao was drinking well, so he took King Ning to the desk together, unfolded the imperial decree, and even took a paperweight to spread the imperial decree. King Ning was in a bad mood and could not neglect the imperial decree.It is not only to leave Zhu Houzhao's breathing range, but also to receive the order etiquette. Just as he was about to step back and kneel on one knee, Zhu Houzhao grabbed his wrist tightly, "Uncle Huang, I am so grateful that you saved the society from all difficulties today, so this is the emperor's hand." Uncle deserves it." King Ning couldn't break free, so he had to stand side by side with Zhu Houzhao beside the book case, and read the imperial decree.In addition to praising the achievements of King Ning, the whole article also rewarded King Zheng, King Gu, and King Han to King Ning. The jurisdiction of King Ning has expanded several times. Never before have the vassal kings had such a vast land. This is a precedent for this dynasty. "Not only is it the emperor's uncle's fiefdom, but I also allocated part of the soldiers and horses of the three kings to the emperor's uncle for his dispatch. In addition, I also brought various private treasures from the inner palace, which have been carried into the palace at this moment. And accept it." King Ning just had time to welcome him in the future, he didn't see that the treasures and medicinal materials gold and silver brought by Zhu Houzhao had filled the front hall, and with the rewards listed in the imperial decree, King Ning was already the number one person in the world. status and wealth.

The huge benefits eased King Ning's mood a little. He read the imperial decree several times with satisfaction, and the inscribed jade seals were all true. He still said calmly, "The emperor has exceeded the rules..." King Ning didn't care about thick The gossip and gossip under the reward, and the suspicion of high achievements and power, he saw through it at a glance. The fiefdom of the Liao king was taken over by the court and integrated into a frontier fortress. There is no internal threat to the capital. Zhu Houzhao has completely integrated the military power , hold hands tightly.

Zhu Houzhao was proud and drunk today, "The former emperor's edict announced to the world, 'The kings and ministers must do their best, and the husband and the new master, if there is a mutation, the rest of the kings must be loyal, and they will not evade it with all their strength. Rewards from the city and rebellion against the kings' This is because I followed the will of my father, why did I go beyond the rules, and besides, the uncle of the emperor has made great contributions to the country, otherwise my throne will not be guaranteed, shouldn't I have this reward?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Looking at the imperial decree, King Ning seemed to see that the fief in his hands had expanded from Jiangxi to Jiangnan in the Central Plains, and half of the country was also his own. His anger and stagnation during the day had finally been relieved, and Zhu Hou took care of him. Looking at the side of the room, he smiled contentedly, "The emperor's uncle is out of sight." After that, he took out a private seal in the skirt of his clothes, and stamped his private seal on the imperial decree jade seal with the red clay on the book borrowing case, King Ning was still amazed at this move, Zhu Houzhao had already reached into King Ning's belt, he had experience in untying his belt, and when King Ning was shocked, Zhu Houzhao had snatched a sapphire-colored round tube seal from his belt. When he got it, it was the emperor's uncle's private seal. He smiled cunningly, dipped the seal in red mud, and put it next to his own private seal.One is "Hou Zhao" and the other is "Hao", both of which have their own names. The two are juxtaposed, with infinite meaning.With Zhu Houzhao's thoughts, King Ning had a bad premonition again. He wanted to take back his private seal, but Zhu Houzhao held it in his palm and put it in the skirt of his clothes. The emperor is supreme, and he can't snatch it. At this perfect moment of solitude, he hugged King Ning, "Let me see if the emperor's uncle is injured. I'm going crazy when I don't see the emperor's uncle. Later, I heard that the emperor's uncle fell into the hands of King Zheng. I was so scared." , I’m afraid that the emperor’s uncle will have something... three pros and twos, I’m afraid that the emperor’s uncle will not want me, I’m afraid that the emperor’s uncle will never want me again..." Zhu Houzhao rested his chin on King Ning’s shoulder, and said in a low voice, these days of crazy torture, The real heart is said but inexplicably empty, there is a clear smell after bathing in the bosom, like white moss and white musk, like the snow-capped pine forest in the middle of winter in the frontier fortress, there is a completely contrasting sense in the midsummer of the capital, " I don't want to kill King Zheng with my own hands all the time, but luckily the emperor is back, I'm so happy...more happy than being enthroned..." King Ning wasn't sure what kind of expression the owner of the trembling voice had, as if he was sobbing, He broke free, "Don't move, uncle, let me hug you. I know you were poisoned by King Zheng, so I will stay in the capital and rest by my side, okay?"

King Ning was shocked. He was poisoned by King Zheng and his power was greatly damaged. No one told him. How did the emperor know?

Taking advantage of this gap, Zhu Houzhao embraced more presumptuously, hugged his entire back, and was about to kiss him again. King Ning kicked hard, trying to trip Zhu Houzhao and flee to the courtyard. Unexpectedly, Zhu Houzhao was lost. Balance also never let go, fell down with King Ning in his arms, and even took advantage of the situation to press on King Ning.

The tip of their noses touched, Zhu Houzhao's eyes were full of King Ning's brows and lips, but King Ning's fiery clothes had an extremely cold expression, which was truly ruthless and touching.

The good wine in the mouth of the emperor was mellow and lingering, and King Ning was forced to taste the wine mixed with a strong sense of dominance. The wine left in his mouth was filled for him by himself. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get away. With, can not be separated.

King Ning did not rest for a few days, exhausted his strength and was unable to hide anymore, he could only close his eyes, his chest heaved, his crystal eyes were dim and half-opened, "Your Majesty, you know, this is impossible..."

Hearing these words, Zhu Houzhao felt as if he had fallen into a severe winter, his limbs felt cold, and then he became angry from embarrassment, "Why..." He asked in a low voice in King Ning's ear, asking why he was sinking, why he was so unable to extricate himself, fiercely He straightened up, glanced up, choked up and roared, "Then why did you treat me so well before?!"

King Ning didn't answer, and he didn't even look at Zhu Houzhao. He laughed at himself, put his elbows on the ground, and wanted to get up. The past few days have been too ups and downs. He left quickly.

Zhu Houzhao frowned, and he was still straddling King Ning. His resentful and angry eyes squinted at King Ning who was about to get up. King Ning's eyes were still indifferent and distant, and he could no longer find those caring and friendly. It is a fleeting epiphyllum, and I will never have it again.Zhu Houzhao was extremely unwilling. He patted King Ning on the shoulder with one hand, and pressed him to the ground to prevent him from getting up. The other song pulled King Ning's hairband. , but still couldn’t escape the harassment again, Zhu Houzhao left red on his lips, neck, and collarbone, like a trapped beast plundering wildly and recklessly, King Ning’s wrists had been tied up with hairbands, and he was forced to restrain him on the top of his head, unable to resist , Zhu Houzhao freed another hand to rip off King Ning's obstructive belt, "Stop! Let me go!" King Ning finally had a gasp and shouted exhaustedly.

"Don't even think about it!" Zhu Houzhao gritted his teeth and said firmly under the rage, his eyes were red.The volume is not high, but it has the dominance and oppression of the emperor.

"Let go!" King Ning was extremely ruthless and looked like a complete stranger in Zhu Houzhao's eyes. His clothes were disheveled, his heroism was gone, and he was embarrassed and beautiful. He doesn't need to be rational, he just needs to realize what he wants for many days!

Thousands of poems can't express the praise of beauty, and thousands of emotions can't bear the words of admiration, but there is nothing to say, only the honesty of the body.King Ning desperately wanted to avoid the madman's move, but he couldn't even move his body. His hands were strangled tightly, and scars of deep red appeared on the skin of his wrists. He couldn't resist anymore. He wanted to call everyone in the mansion, but This is the emperor of Ming Dynasty, who would break in with his death to ruin the emperor's interest, besides, no one dared to look at the wanton raped appearance.

Zhu Houzhao tore off the belt embellished with jewels of King Ning. Under the ochre-colored coat was a pure white inner sheet, because in midsummer, this inner sheet was made of light silk clothes, and the skin under the clothes could be vaguely seen. Trembling, Zhu Hou looked at the lively and fragrant body under him, crushed all his restraint, bit Ning Wang's forehead, and gnawed along the curve of his neck, as if he had to swallow the whole person to fully possess it to be satisfied. King Ning temporarily gave up his resistance. He looked up at the roof weakly, "Your Majesty, you'd better kill me, or you will regret it... I will die..."

"No, no, I don't allow you to say death, you are mine!" Zhu Houzhao thought of the past when King Ning fell into the water and was injured and wandered on the edge of life and death because of his absurd temptation. Fighting back to protect himself, his frantic mood suddenly softened a little, he stopped asking, and held King Ning's cheeks with both hands, "Don't talk about this, let's watch this Daming River and Mountain with me together, Emperor Uncle, now half of the country is yours Yes, where are we going next? Is it still Jiangnan?" Zhu Houzhao said very gently, but he made a huge determination to meet each other.

King Ning didn't even have the strength to laugh at him, "Why are you lying to yourself and being so obsessed..." Zhu Houzhao heard every word clearly, his sadness and resentment almost made him lose control, and he covered King Ning's lips with his palm, not allowing King Ning to say any more He didn't want to hear a single word, even though these words were from King Ning's heart, unlike the loyal and virtuous officials who deliberately performed before, he wanted so much to get the sincerity of the emperor's uncle, and this sincerity had never had a shred of him.

King Ning, who was still forced to the ground, looked directly at Zhu Houzhao, with determination and irrefutable firmness, as well as contempt, his words were blocked, and those eyes still conveyed his unchanging unfeeling.

Zhu Houzhao looked at his heart being ruthlessly crushed by the people in front of him, his eyes became redder, and he tore off the inner sheet on King Ning's chest, facing the large piece of skin, and bit the old wound. Unable to bear such a severe injury, he groaned in pain.

"Uncle Huang, I won't let you go, you are mine!" He proclaimed word by word, and then he reached out his hand to his waist.

"Your Majesty!" The study room was not closed, Huang Sheng leaned against the door and shouted hastily.

Zhu Houzhao turned a deaf ear to him, and the hem of his robe had already been lifted by him. Just as King Ning was about to speak, Zhu Houzhao kissed him again, sealing his lips, so that King Ning would not say harsh words that he didn't like to hear again.

"Your Majesty! The Ministry of War is in dire straits!" Huang Sheng was on the verge of crying, feeling that he would not survive tonight.

Instead of stopping the deep kiss, Zhu Houzhao accelerated his attack.King Ning, who was originally superior in his own hands, was crippled by King Zheng for most of his skills. At this moment, he was no match for this young man. He closed his eyes in pain and tried his best to escape this kind of humiliation.

"Your Majesty, Wu Liangha took advantage of the emptiness of the frontier to attack Daming, and now he has captured the Great Ningwei! Now he is marching south to attack my Daming!"

King Ning suddenly opened his eyes, and the decadent resistance stopped.Hearing this military report, Zhu Houzhao was shocked. He straightened up quickly, unable to think for a while, and sat slumped on the ground, Great Ningwei... His eyes slowly rubbed against King Ning again, and King Ning, who was finally free, gave Zhu Houzhao a cold and indifferent look. Standing up, biting off the hair tie on her wrist with her teeth, she straightened her clothes roughly, and walked out the door.

Zhu Houzhao's face was extremely ugly. After hesitating for a while, he still chose to follow and chase King Ning.

In the courtyard, King Ning heard footsteps behind him, he stopped but did not turn his head, facing the void in front of him, "Let's discuss it at court tomorrow, I'm tired. Your Majesty, please respect yourself and rest!"

Zhu Hou looked at King Ning's back, a strand of hair without bun and headband, scattered casually, any beauty was cut off abruptly today.

King Ning strode back to his dormitory. He kicked open the door. After entering the room, he was furious and smashed the candlesticks and tea sets on the table. His handwriting suddenly felt as if he had fallen into a world of ice and snow. He grunted in pain, sat down slowly, arranged the pages of the book that had been deformed by him just now, picked up the pen on the table, and under the moonlight, made a stroke. The pen finished annotating the last few words that had not been completed a few days ago, his right hand trembled, blood was faintly oozing from the strangle marks on his wrist, and his eyes were focused and full of emotion, he insisted on finishing this page tremblingly, just because this book The record is Daning City.

In the 20th year of Hongwu, the government set up the commanding department of Daning, with Daning City as the capital, to control the important places in Liaodong and resist the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. .

Daning connects Liaozuo in the east, Xuanfu in the west, and dominates the upper ninety cities. The ancestor Ning Wang Zhu Quan garrisoned the frontier fortress, and united with the princes to reject Mongolia. It is said that "the king of Yan is good at fighting, and the king of Ning is good at planning." To be number one in the world, and to make an inexhaustible contribution to stationing on the border of Daming.

In the first year of Jianwen, the Battle of Jingnan began. Chengzu said that he would gain the strength of King Ning and the world would be free from worries. He coerced King Ning and his family to Beiping and captured all the soldiers and horses under King Ning. , Burned Daning City, and since then Daning City has been the site of ruins.After Chengzu won the world, Xuanzu Zhu Quan was renamed in Jiangxi, and he was not allowed to build a new palace. He was only allowed to live in the Jiangxi chief envoy. Xuanzu was falsely accused of plotting against him. Taoism, a collection of classics and history, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, camellia poems, writing books and sayings, all descendants of the family only study poetry and books, and do not ask about political affairs. For the sake of the country, Renzong replied to Jiangxi and has been stationed in Jiangxi for 20 years. Where is the non-vassal land?When Yingzong was waiting, the guards of his grandfather's palace were cut off, leaving only hundreds of guards in Ningwang's palace.

As King Ning, he not only inherited the title of prince, but also had entanglements with the descendants of Cheng Zu's emperor. The scroll in Zhu Chenhao's hand is the map and defense of his ancestors stationed in Daning City, and the deployment of important towns under the jurisdiction of Daning Guard. Whether it's the feudal land or in Beijing, he can't leave it with him.

Now it is fortified in Daning City, and there have been several battles. During the Hongzhi period, the King of Liao was stationed in Liaodong, and he was able to resist foreign enemies with his army and horses. Now the King of Liao rebelled, and his soldiers and horses were all in the capital. reignite.

In the early morning, King Ning entered the palace in a good mood after dressing up. He passed by the front hall of the palace, stopped to look at the room full of gold, silver and jewels, and his subordinates hurried over, "My lord, the third king was poisoned to death by the emperor last night."

King Ning's expression was not good. Hearing this news, his brows were slightly frowned, Your Majesty, you really did a good job of showing both kindness and majesty.He left the house without saying a word.

In the Fengtian Hall, all the officials knelt down to worship, but King Ning only chanted with his hands clasped and did not prostrate himself on the ground, he was very different among the crowd.

The ending of the Three Kings was brought up by Zhu Houzhao's chatter. No matter how everyone reacted, they all obeyed the supreme imperial power in this world. How to deal with the border war is the most important thing in today's dynasty.

There was just a great chaos in central Beijing, and the soldiers and horses of the four kings still needed to be reorganized. At this time, a war broke out on the border, and the Minister of the Ministry of War asked for an order.

Everyone was arguing about whether to actively prepare for the war or be conservative and resist. Zhu Houzhao listened quietly to the courtiers expressing their opinions without saying a word.

"Uncle Huang, what's your opinion?" Zhu Houzhao asked after several rounds of arguments.King Ning was already the only feudal lord in Beijing, he was conferred the highest status because of his meritorious service, after he was named, the officials were silent.

"I don't know what the master's opinion is?" King Ning glanced at the underdog beside him, not understanding.

"I'm good at hand-handling, but I'm not good at fighting." Don't know how to shake his head again and again, and really dare not speak nonsense.

King Ning couldn't understand it, as if he expected such an answer, he looked at the Minister of the Ministry of War standing opposite him, "Do you have any countermeasures?"

"Wu Liangha's offensive is fierce this time. He must have come here while the border is empty and prepared. I can't think of a way to retreat from the enemy for a while." Wu Dayong was conservative.

The whole court was endlessly arguing, and there was no conclusion. The superior not only has respect, but also bears the burden of the world. Zhu Houzhao experienced a little bit of loneliness, and at this time King Ning bowed his hands, "Go back to the emperor," following this move, his wrists were lifted from his clothes. The sleeves were exposed, and Zhu Houzhao saw several white gauzes wrapped around his wrists, "Since Wuliangha is coming fiercely, and the Ministry of War has no good strategy to retreat from the enemy for a while, then I implore the emperor to quickly integrate the four kings' troops and horses, and reorganize our Ming Dynasty. Sergeant, the emperor of the Liao Dynasty should take over as soon as possible, send troops to garrison, and transfer Liaodong, Xuanfu defenders rush to help, Daning City is an important place, if this place is lost, the capital may be in danger, and then the capital defenders should be strictly guarded. I implore the emperor to order my ministers to lead the troops of the Fans to go out and confront each other so that foreigners dare not enter any more of our territory. After the emperor's integrated army arrives, the ministers will withdraw." Although King Ning looked at the throne of the Dragon Throne, he did not. Instead of focusing on Zhu Houzhao, he has a stern face and a sharp tone, and he has the courage to stop the big responsibility.

When talking about state affairs, King Ning seems to exude the taste of power and profit, which is even more intoxicating. Zhu Houzhao locked his eyes tightly. When the country is in danger, the one who stands up is the one who stands up. Now, only King Ning is in the court. Asking Ying to take on heavy responsibilities, but whether the vassal king has a heavy army going out to fight, whether it can make people feel at ease is a knot that the imperial power can never untie.

I don't know how to stare at the back of King Ning in front of him. King Ning has been trying to seize military power for a long time. Even the emperor knows this. People can reach it, and it is better to be in power without military power. Does he not care about the demonstration of the emperor's execution of the three kings and the warning of the great gift?No, with King Ning's intelligence, he must know the emperor's intentions, so why insist on this.

"King Ning, you have a serious tone. We all know that Daning is the place where your ancestors were stationed. Otherwise, you would not be called King Ning. Of course you pay special attention to it, and you want to get it back, but what if it fails?" I don't know how to decide to tear down the stage to find out what King Ning said.

"Teacher is worrying too much," King Ning turned his gaze down, looking straight at him incomprehensibly, "As a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, what fear is there in sacrificing one's life to guard the country? How can you say you're defeated if you fail? , shrouded in horse leather, died in a proper place, besides, there are still millions of soldiers in Ming Dynasty, so why worry about the alien race not being destroyed." Once King Ning said this, everyone dared not say another word.

Don't know how to eat the complex eyes cast by the ministers from all sides, Ning Wang didn't want to talk to Don't understand, turned around again with a flick of his sleeves, and met Zhu Houzhao's eyes.

"The Taifu doesn't need to say much, just follow the emperor's uncle's play, and the emperor's uncle will rectify the soldiers and horses of the vassal, and start to go to the frontier at a certain date!" Zhu Houzhao stopped him, and supported King Ning.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Prince Ning replied coldly and politely without any emotion.

After Ning Wang returned from the palace, he briefly explained the affairs of the domain, and ordered Shan Zhou to select a thousand of the most elite troops and leave the capital.The imperial decree said that the chosen day would be the same day, and King Ning directly asked for a military order to leave Juechen, leaving his tens of thousands of troops outside the capital, and voluntarily brought them under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War.The Minister of the Ministry of War knew that this matter was serious, so he came to the palace to ask for an order, what should Ning Wang's soldiers and horses stay outside the city to deal with.

Just after Wu Dayong finished talking about this matter, Zhu Houzhao jumped up from the dragon chair in the imperial study, "What did you say? King Ning has already left Beijing?" , "Go back to the emperor, King Ning led the crowd out of the city as soon as he left the palace." Zhu Houzhao blushed and couldn't say a word. After a long time, he slowly sat back on the dragon chair, "Let them go back to Jiangxi , the most important thing is that you recruit the other four kings well."

"Your Majesty, King Ning has tens of thousands of people under his command." Wu Dayong reminded cautiously.

Zhu Houzhao's eyes moved slightly, and Wu Dayong was so frightened that he didn't dare to say another word after being swept away by his eyes. "So, you want to say, King Ning is the one that the Ministry of War has taken a fancy to these tens of thousands of people..." Zhu Houzhao's tone was as usual, but cold sweat was already dripping from Wu Dayong's forehead. He knew that the emperor's question would never be so simple.

"My ministers would like to follow the emperor's will and let them go back to Jiangxi." Wu Dayong bowed his head.

"Since the emperor's uncle handed him over to the Ministry of War immediately, do I still have to doubt his loyalty? The land of the four princes has just been taken back to the court, and I still hope that the emperor can clean up the territory of these rebellious officials and thieves for me. When you need it in the future Also remember to help Uncle Huang." Zhu Houzhao spoke slowly, enough for Wu Dayong to understand the deep meaning, the emperor wants to use King Ning to wipe out the remnants of the four kings, and the Ministry of War will also secretly monitor when necessary, but King Ning is not in the internal affairs at the moment, and is rushing to the frontier fortress. After he returned to the capital, he would naturally still be sent to the vassal. At this moment, the troops on the outskirts of the capital will be placed under King Ning's command.

King Ning and his men, who galloped all day and night, finally stopped in the northern city of Kaiping. Shan Zhou felt that he had experienced a lot of training and had extraordinary endurance. Who knew that he hadn't seen the prince for a year, and the prince had already improved so much. Entering King Zheng's barracks to break the siege of the capital, get rid of the chaos of the four kings, go to the court to discuss matters for the emperor, and deal with the affairs of the vassals far away in Jiangxi vigorously. The prince can actually run thousands of miles non-stop for a moment, galloping to the borderlands, and has no other praises except to pay homage to the prince.

The men and horses who had eaten up King Ning's horseshoes and dust finally entered Kaiping City with him at midnight.

Shan Zhou always felt that the prince's face was serious this day, and his whole body was clouded with bad mood, especially when he was urging his horse forward, his posture was like a giant man-eating monster in the capital behind, and he didn't want to stay for a moment. At this moment, the two gorgeous The girl on the left and the right were sent by the guard to wait on her, and the prince's expression was so hard to look at.King Ning was furious, "Why is there such idleness in the barracks?!" He whipped the whip in his hand directly towards the main entrance of the official office. The people present shrank and did not dare to make a sound, and knelt down one after another. I was too scared to say a word.

King Ning entered the room, and there were still traces of banquets and dances arranged inside. He was no longer able to smash it, so he hastily washed and changed into regular clothes. After days of exhaustion, he fell on his back on the couch. Perhaps only physical fatigue could Let the heart be powerless to look back.

Zhu Houzhao was sitting alone in front of the Qianqing Palace, and everyone in sight was driven away. At this moment, he was really alone. In the most beautiful palace, he supported his chest with his hands and looked up at the bright moon in the sky.Last year, in Westgate Town several times, he sat beside the gurgling water outside Guanzizai Academy. At that time, under the stars and the moon, his identity was unknown, and he didn't even know where he was headed. There are still unknown confusions and doubts, maybe the depression in his heart is far better than before, even though his status is absolutely respected.In the night, his eyes were bright, and his eyes fixed on the brightest northern star in the sky. Wearing pajamas, he did not change his posture despite the infinite coolness blown by the night wind.

Leaving Kaiping City after sunrise, it is the frontier fortress. King Ning looked around the surrounding fields on the horse.
