The brotherhood between the two old princes is deep, and even Emperor Taizu has praised it in public, and once used the two old princes as an example to teach the current Emperor Yuanchang and King Kang to be brothers. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There is this kind of brotherhood between Lao Dingguo and Lao An Guogong, although their descendants are only cousins, they are far closer than the brothers in ordinary high-ranking mansions.

But there are also big differences between the two provinces.

The old Duke Dingguo only has one son, Ning Jingchang, and there is only the old Duchess Dingguo in the back house.

And the old An Guogong is different, the old An Guogong is not as restrained as the old Dingguo Gong in terms of women, except for the wife he married when he was poor, since he began to conquer the world and gradually made his fortune, he has not carried people to the backyard, and when the Great Zhou Dynasty finally set the world, the Anguo Mansion has already had a group of wives and concubines and children.

The two old princes can even exchange their lives, and the things next to them naturally don't care, once the old An Guogong once said with a smile that the elder brother has only one son is too little, if he wants, he can send a son to the elder brother.

This was just a joke.

Although Lao Dingguo only has Ning Jingchang's son, because of this, he has always been very strict with Ning Jingchang, and Ning Jingchang has been smart and studious since he was a child, and he was the best among his peers at that time.

On the other hand, the Duke of Anguo, the old Duke of Anguo is brave and extraordinary in the war, but he is obviously a little powerless in disciplining his children, and the old Duchess of Anguo was married when the old Duke Anguo was in his last days, both in terms of family background and knowledge are very limited, even if she later became a prominent Duchess of the country, let her discipline the concubines and children of the Manchurian Mansion, naturally a little powerless.

Therefore, compared to the purity and cleanliness of the Dingguo Mansion, the Anguo Mansion in this case can even be regarded as a miasma, especially in terms of heirs, Ning Jingchang alone is enough to suppress the son of the Anguo Mansion.

Because of this, neither Lao Dingguo nor Lao An Guogong took this joke seriously.

But judging from the development of things later, this sentence has become a prophecy.

Ning Jingchang grew up with the eldest princess of Anping, when the two grew up to marriageable age, their identities changed greatly compared to when they were young, one became the only pearl of Taizu, the only princess of the newborn Great Zhou Dynasty, and the other was the only son of Dingguo Gong, who was deeply relied on by Taizu, and was also named the son of Dingguo Gong.

From the perspective of identity, the two are undoubtedly extremely compatible.

But between the two, there are still a lot of obstacles.

According to the etiquette system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the princess can only hang up the idle post of a concubine, and she is not allowed to hold an important official position in the court.

Therefore, the eldest princess of Anping at that time was noble and noble, but almost no one in the capital was willing to marry the royal family, and he was afraid that the potential son of the family would be recruited as a son-in-law by Emperor Taizu.

To tell the truth, when the eldest princess of Anping married into the Dingguo Mansion, many people in the capital were relieved, and many people were secretly glad that Emperor Taizu only had such a daughter.

At the same time, there are also many people who feel sorry for Lao Dingguo Gong in their hearts.

finally raised such an excellent son, but because he married a princess, he had to hang up his idle job.

At that time, the Dingguo Mansion was at its most prosperous, and it was even more predictable that it would definitely become the right-hand man of the next emperor.

But Ning Jingchang was still a princess at this time, so he naturally could no longer inherit the Dingguo Mansion, and the old Dingguo Duke only had such a son, and he was rich and noble with all his life, wouldn't he face a sad situation of no one to inherit?

Lao Dingguo Gong was loyal all his life, but he never thought of begging Taizu with the love of the monarch and the Taizu, but thought of the joke of the old An Guogong.

Send him a son......

Because of his deep brotherhood with Lao Anguo, Lao Dingguo has always regarded his younger brother's children as his own children.

In his heart, he naturally hoped that his son could inherit his mantle, but in the case that Ning Jingchang had already married the eldest princess of Anping, it was undoubtedly a good way to inherit a son from the Anguo Mansion.

After Lao Dingguo Gong and Lao An Guogong passed the gas, they have been secretly looking for candidates.

Lao An Guogong has nine sons, seven daughters, plus six aunts, and several daughters-in-law married by older sons.

Among the nine sons of the old Duke Anguo, the top three are the sons-in-law of the old Duchess Anguo, and the latter ones are from the bellies of several aunts.

Since he wanted to inherit the mantle by a son, Lao Dingguo Gong naturally only considered between several sons-in-law, as the eldest son of the Duke of Anguo and was already the son of the Duke of Anguo at that time, it was impossible for Ning Jingyu to be succeeded, so he noticed Ning Jingtai, the second son of the Duke of Anguo.

Ning Jingtai is two years older than Ning Jingchang, although he is not as good as Ning Jingchang, but among the several sons of the Anguo Mansion, he is also very outstanding, and at that time, Ning Jingtai was not only married, but also had two sons, if he was really passed on to the Dingguo Mansion, at least there would be no need to worry about the problem of heirs in the future.

Lao Dingguo and Lao An Guogong had a plan in their hearts, so they didn't deliberately hide it.

As the second son of the Anguo Mansion, he will still succeed to the Dingguo Mansion, and become the next Dingguo Duke in the future, as long as he is a little dissatisfied with his current situation, he knows how to choose what is most beneficial to himself.

Ning Jingtai is naturally the same.

So when I learned that I was chosen, Ning Jingtai walked with a float during that time, and he imagined more than once that when he became the Duke of Dingguo in the future, how would he treat Ning Jingchang and the eldest princess of Anping well.

He thought that by then, their brothers, friends and brothers, would surely become a good story like their fathers.

There are so many sons in the Anguo Mansion, but only Ning Jingtai has such good luck in the eyes of the old Dingguo Prince, and the situation in the Anguo Mansion is so complicated, Ning Jingtai will inevitably get the jealousy of those concubine brothers.

So, before the matter was completely decided, the matter had already spread throughout the capital.

The so-called three people become tigers, and one thing will definitely become unrecognizable after countless word of mouth.

The old Dingguo Guild wanted to inherit the family business with his step-nephew, although he felt a little regretful in his heart, but it was no more, but among the rumors that had been spread, it became how helpless and sour the old Dingguo Gong was, but he had to make such a choice with hatred because of the court etiquette.

I don't know how many people have processed the stories that have been circulated, and when I hear them, I really feel sad and cry when I hear them.

Then, this rumor even reached the ears of Emperor Taizu. (To be continued.) )
