Only then did Ning Zheng learn that the person who spread the truth about the attack on Quanling in Luoyang City was not Jiang Chengyi, but Ning Nanwei, who was far away in Linhe.

When the two brothers Ning Nanqing and Ning Nankun learned of the news, they rushed to the regent palace.

Ning Nankun personally compared the two silk silks, and learned that the reason why he was harmed to exile and demoted was because of Ning Nan's single-handedly design, so he was furious.

Ning Nanqing, the king of the Ming Dynasty, fanned the flames on the side: "Father, son said.... At that time, it must have been the second brother's doing. But you don't believe it, but say that this has nothing to do with him..."

Ning Zheng glared at him coldly, and there was a hint of warning on his handsome face: "If you really think about your third brother, when you think of this possibility, you should stop it, instead of watching your third brother being demoted and exiled by His Majesty!" ”

Ning Nanqing was poked at the point, and he didn't dare to continue to say more.

Ning Nankun clutched the silk tightly, extremely annoyed, and then thought for a moment, and felt that the secret letter presented to Emperor Wei at that time might also be Ning Nan's trouble, so he said to Ning Zheng: "Father, my son now thinks that half a year ago, the secret letter sent to His Majesty may also be the second brother's doing. Even if the second brother has no connections in the palace, His Majesty also has Yue Huan to supervise him, but don't forget, father! The second brother tried his best to marry Jiang Nu back to the mansion, originally wanting to use the power of the Jiang family's Water Pavilion. If he conspired with Jiang Chengyi and handed the secret letter describing the original story of the First Battle of Quanling to His Majesty, it would have been much easier. ”

As soon as these words came out, Ning Zheng fell into silence, and I have to say that what Ning Nankun said may be the most reasonable explanation.

If Jiang Chengyi had found out that Yue Huan had been rebelled by him, he cast a trick on Yue Huan, which made them relax their vigilance, so that Emperor Wei got a secret note and learned the origin of the Battle of Quanling.

"Evil obstacles! and such despicable means behind the back of the widow. Ning Zheng clenched the teacup, and his fingers turned white to cyan due to force.

Ning Nankun knelt down to Ning Zheng and said, "Father, although the son is exiled, he is concerned about the Huai Wangfu. If the second brother resents me for robbing the Jiang family, it will only be for my son. Now he has joined forces with outsiders to deal with the Huai Wangfu... The son couldn't help but be angry. ”

Ning Zheng listened to his words, his face became more and more gloomy, thinking that he had indeed indulged Ning Nan in the past few years, so that he didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, and he actually united with outsiders because of a woman to deal with his own brother.

At this time, Fan Li, who was ordered by Ning Zheng to go out to meet with the spies of the Huai Wangfu, happened to get a few pieces of news and hurried back.

"Acting for the king!" Fan Li ran out of the courtyard and called into the hall.

Ning Zhengzheng had an angry face, and when he saw that Fan Li had never sent anyone to pass through, he hurried into the inner courtyard, feeling unhappy in his heart.

"What's the matter? So reckless? He spoke in a bad tone.

Fan Li stopped in time, knelt in front of the stone sill outside the hall, and bowed three times to the father and son who were sitting together in the courtyard before saying: "The minister got the news, he was too anxious, so he lost his courtesy, and asked the acting king, the king, and the prince to calm his anger." ”

Ning Nanqing saw Fan Li coming in a hurry, and knew that the spies he had arranged should have told Fan Li everything he had explained. So he hurriedly asked, "What news did Master Fan get?" ”

Fan Li nodded like a hammer drum, and said again and again: "The king guessed well..."

Ning Zheng saw that he was in a hurry and panicked, choking on his words, so he couldn't help frowning and said coldly: "What do you know?" ”

Fan Li was determined, and only after stabilizing his breath did he continue: "King Yudai." Half a year ago, Meng Disaster met with the second son, and the Chinese and North Korean spies united, when Linhe caused a war, the water pavilion master Jiang Nu had gathered a large number of people to gather in Guiyang to confront and prevent the second prince from acting. It is precisely because of this that the ministers all believe that General Zeng Yu died at the hands of the Water Pavilion. However, today's spies came to report that General Zeng Yu was not killed by Xue Bi of Shuige, but by Jiang Chan, the son of Jiang Taigong.

Moreover, Jiang Chan did not die in the Changlu Mountain Gorge as rumored. The soldiers led by the general had a fluke to escape from Guiyang, but were found by the dead soldiers sent by the acting king, and only after questioning did they know: When Jiang Chan was seriously injured and dying, it was the Jingdu Weilang who brought Lu Xun to the rescue with a large number of men and horses, so that the remaining Jiang's Su Ling army turned defeat into victory, and ordered the acting king to send the 8,000 private soldiers sent to Guiyang to help the second prince and the Wuhu king Meng disaster suffered heavy casualties, and almost all of them died in the Changlu Mountain Valley. ”

"Lu Xun?!" Ning Nankun repeated, gritted his teeth and said, "Lu Chengzhong's guy only obeys the orders of the second brother. If it weren't for the second brother's instructions, how could he go to Guiyang to rescue Jiang Chan? ”dm

Ning Zheng's face changed a little more, and seeing that Fan Li seemed to have something to say, he suppressed his annoyance, and said angrily in his chest: "What else is the news?" ”

Fan Li knelt in the distance, and could sense the raging anger on Ning Zheng's body, and suddenly trembled in his heart: "The minister also learned... Three months ago, when Meng disaster arrived in Longzhong, Jiang Chengyi got the news from nowhere and rescued Shi An, who was besieged by Tuan Tuan. When they escaped from Longzhong, there were Jing Duwei by their side who pretended to chase and kill all the way, but in fact, they secretly escorted them all the way from the waterway to Hongnong. This made the net of heaven and earth laid by you in Longzhong completely ineffective.

After Shi An was brought into Beijing by Jiang Chengyi, he soon escaped from the Dongfu Division, but unfortunately was arrested by Shangshu Zuocheng and imprisoned in his private mansion. ”

Ning Nanqing listened to Fan Li's words to explain to the spies without saying a word, and secretly sneered in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be surprised: "Second brother, he actually colluded with Jiang Chengyi... Rescue Shi An from Longzhong? If it weren't for Deng Yuan's impatience to go to the doctor and imprison Shi Anqiu privately, I am afraid that now His Majesty should take what the Dongfu Division interrogated from Shi An's mouth... Cure the sin of the third brother! ”

Ning Zheng didn't say a word, but his face became darker and darker.

Ning Nankun closed his eyes, clenched his fists with both hands and slammed the case in front of him a few times, grinding his teeth and chiseling: "In order to make me completely unable to turn over, how can he do such a brazen thing?" Didn't the second brother think about what would happen to my father and what would happen to the Huai Wangfu if His Majesty cured my sin? He is so fatherless and unkind.... How can he be worthy of what his father has given him? ”

"Father!" He knelt down in front of Ning Zheng again and said, "The matter of Quanling is indeed the recklessness of my son. But the second brother disregarded the overall situation so much, and almost put the Huaiwang Mansion in danger, which is really unforgivable! ”

Ning Zheng looked at Ning Nankun's emaciated figure and tired face, and a trace of pity rose in his heart, gently pressed his shoulder, and comforted: "Don't worry, the widow will definitely seek justice for you." ”

Ning Nankun was exiled to the Youzhou frontier for several months, and was transferred to Beijing, and his temperament must have been a little duller and more alert. At this moment, when he heard his father say this, he bowed to him three times and said gratefully: "The son doesn't need his father to seek justice for his son, he just asks his father to wake up the second brother. ”

Ning Zheng helped him up, gently hugged him into his arms, gently patted his back, and comforted him: "Good boy, the widow knows, you are thinking about the Huai Wangfu." After this year, taking advantage of the fact that the attention of His Majesty, the Dongfu Division, and the Tingwei Mansion is all on the case of Song Zong, the widow will go to Linhe with your eldest brother to investigate the matter clearly. If he Ning Nanwu really colluded with Jiang Chengyi to betray his father, the widow Huai Wangfu would not allow him to continue to stay. ”

Ning Nanqing stood aside, and when he saw Ning Zheng treating Ning Nankun so gently, his heart unconsciously heated, he was silent, secretly suppressed the bitterness and envy in his heart, and his eyes became more and more gloomy.

When the two brothers came out of the regent palace together and drove away to their respective cars, Ning Nanqing specially called Ning Nankun.

Ning Nankun stopped, turned around and looked at him coldly, "What's the matter with the eldest brother?" ”

Ning Nanqing showed a smile and said gently to him: "The third brother will have a good New Year in Beijing this time. The mother concubine rarely comes to the capital, if it were not for the fact that the third brother was driven to the remote place of Youzhou this year, and only returned once in half a year, and was not allowed to return to her hometown to pay New Year's salutes to the mother concubine, she would not have traveled long distances from Huai to the capital. You have to be with her. My father and I will definitely find out about the matter of Linhe and vent our evil anger for the third brother. ”

Ning Nankun stared at the man in front of him, was silent for a while, and said lightly: "Big brother doesn't have to be for the position of the prince... Dealing with me and my second brother so hard. My father dotes on me on weekdays. But no matter what, eldest brother, you are the eldest son. My father would never break the rules and pass on the position of son to me because he favored me. ”

He put that into the open. Ning Nanqing didn't expect him to say so directly, with an embarrassed look on his face, he said twice: "When the third brother said this, he broke my brother's heart. ”

Ning Nankun continued: "Big brother, no matter what, I will never compete with you for the position of the son. Although you and I are not born as compatriots, we are also the sons of the Huai Wangfu, and we should consider the future of the Huai Kingdom. Father is strict with you, but conniving with me, anyone with a discerning eye can see that your father cultivates you as a son. My brother really doesn't have to compare that. ”

As soon as the words fell, he didn't continue to talk to Ning Nanqing, turned around and drove towards the Changshan Marquis Mansion car parked in the alley.

Ning Nanqing was stunned for a moment, watching him leave, his heart fluctuating.

No one had ever said anything like that to him in all these years. Although his father did not dislike him as much as his second brother, he was lukewarm and never said a word to him. It has always been only when the third brother is there, and his father's face will be a little softer towards him.

But Ning Nanqing never thought that his father treated him harshly and did not smile because he was cultivating him as a son.

Ning Nankun's car drove out of the alley slowly.
