Hong Chengchou now has a lot of troops that can be mobilized, because Yang Sichang's division of the four corners and six corners is basically in his jurisdiction, and as the governor of the five provinces with real power, he is not as weak as Chen Qiyu before, so there are seventy or eighty thousand temporary workers. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yes, it's a temporary worker, who has not been registered in the army, but is just recruited locally for local use, and the money is calculated on a monthly basis, and now these people have something to do. Gao Yingxiang finally gave up Mizhi, and it only lasted less than ten days.

......

Coupled with the time on the road, Gao Yingxiang spent some time here, which was very abnormal for a group of thieves, just because it was too important for a ring plan in his heart, so he even had the idea of confronting the officers and soldiers on the spot, but the officers and soldiers never came, this simple thing Gao Yingxiang's brain circuit still figured out, nothing more than waiting for the two gangs of thieves to kill each other, but this happened to suit his wishes.

After all, there are 400,000 troops, and King Gao Chuang is still prepared, so he was not overwhelmed by Li Dingguo, even if Qin's crossbow is full of firepower and the cavalry is running all over the ground, he can also stop the decline, and the means are ruthless to cut down the retreating thieves, after killing chickens and monkeys, it is indeed very effective, after a few times, the anti-thieves are already about to adapt to this rhythm, and the big arrows shot by Qin's crossbow can also be dodged by them Most of the damage or have no chance to shoot them at all, it's not that their skills have become better, but with Qin's crossbow, the boss will not fight, In addition, that kind of major weapon loading is also troublesome, and even recently Li Dingguo has been useless.

King Gao Chuang seemed more and more excited, and in this case, he really saw the strength of the enemy army, and he strengthened his thoughts in his heart.

Why are anti-thieves anti-thieves, because they have no sense of belonging, so they are greedy for life and afraid of death, just like their own subordinates, and then look at the opposite city, there is a group of anti-thieves with a sense of belonging, since Gao Yingxiang was ready to occupy the city, he started the idea of another wave of anti-thieves, until...

Officers and soldiers suddenly appeared behind them, and the enemy troops in the city also opened the city to meet the enemy......

The whole army was in chaos, which was the beginning of another rush for Gao Yingxiang.

"Damn...!" Gao Yingxiang gritted his teeth and rode on the horse, and swore loudly, but even then he didn't look like an uneducated barbarian.

He couldn't figure out why he was caught between the front and back, why Hong Chengchou seemed to be colluding with another group of thieves...?

In his mind, shouldn't the officers and soldiers join forces to fight the thieves?

So he is being hunted down now, but Gao Yingxiang is not in a hurry.

The first plan is gone, so let's go to the second one, Gao Yingxiang admires himself.

His itinerary gradually deviated to the southeast, once they had fought one capital, and now they were going to fight a second.

.........

In the courtyard that was not very spacious, Ning Daguan sat on a stone bench and hugged Kou Baimen, sipping tea somewhat comfortably.

Although Kou Nuxia is more violent, but as a woman, she still learns better than ordinary people, the first hairpin in Jinling is not just cut out with a sword, the tea is made by her, the old acacia in the courtyard smoked new sprouts, Ning Zhiyuan just kept staring, he felt that he could be regarded as living a height, and he could look at such a branch for a long time.

To be honest, he liked this kind of life, just like the peace and harmony in Ningxia at that time, in the early spring, the climate was comfortable, and he never ran around, except for going to Xu Guangqi's mansion every day, he just stayed in this courtyard.

Kou Baimen likes this kind of life more than him, only her time alone, although she always feels a little guilty when she thinks of those sisters in Ningxia, but it is true, Ningxia's life is also comfortable, but it is more of a harmony, it should be called a feeling of home, everyone has a good relationship and is very friendly and tireless, but now, Kou Baimen will have a little heartbeat from time to time, and his gaze at Ning Zhiyuan is also a little stupid, although it is really uncomfortable at night when he is alone, If she had been born a few hundred years later, she would have known that this feeling is called love.

This is the eighth day that Ning Daguan has come to the capital, he came here quietly, but people with a heart can always know that this house is not hidden, and many people know it, so in the past few days, many officials of all sizes have come to visit, and they have all been pushed by him, but the gifts have been left, and Ning Zhiyuan has not opened them.

The identity is different, everything is different, this is the most intuitive feeling that these officials give Ning Zhiyuan.

He's no longer the target of the old bureaucrats in the court, no.

Kou Baimen's face flushed and he added a cup of tea to Ning Zhiyuan, and then shrank into his arms in a little confusion, he seemed to be too tired last night......

......

"Childe ......" When the housekeeper walked lightly into the courtyard to report, Ning Zhiyuan's still body finally moved, made a waiting motion, and then picked up Kou Baimen, who was wearing a cloak in his arms, and entered the room.

"Childe, don't you want to do it now?" The guard dressed as a housekeeper had a calm face, sweating profusely, since Ning Zhiyuan came, several people in the house have given them a long vacation, and they have a family to go home to visit relatives, there is really no place to live in a remote courtyard in the house, and they are not allowed to run around in ordinary times, after all, everything is for safety.

The girl was breathing evenly and was already asleep, Ning Zhiyuan gently placed her on the bed, kissed her lightly on the forehead and walked out.

"Childe, someone is in the palace..."The guards knew that they had thought of a fork in the road that the wise and martial son.

"Lead the way." Ning Zhiyuan nodded and stretched comfortably.

"It's finally here, it's only been a few days, and I thought Chongzhen would be able to endure it for a long time." Ning Zhiyuan said in his heart.

What was waiting in the hall was a eunuch who had a relationship, Gao Qidive.

Ning Zhiyuan smiled and said hello, quite a bit of joy to see each other, but compared to Gao Qiqian, he felt a little touched.

When we met a few years ago, Ning Zhiyuan, who was already the governor of Ningxia, was a character, and now it is even more amazing, but this has nothing to do with him, so it doesn't matter if you hint at asking for money, now...

Of course, generally people with this official position will be very conscious, after all, he is a close servant of the Son of Heaven, and no matter how big the official position is, he has to give some face, and this one obviously doesn't, not now, not a few years ago, what he dislikes the most is such a person, it's not easy to make a small report, and it's strange that the emperor can listen to it.

"Lord Ning, the emperor is invited." Gao Qiqian said with a smile, his posture very low.

Ning Zhiyuan nodded, didn't say anything, and let people present the silver, and the smile on Gao Qiqian's face deepened, and sure enough, he understood a lot of things when he was promoted.

......

After less than half an hour of communication, Ning Zhiyuan changed his clothes and rushed to the palace in the carriage, feeling indescribable in his heart.

There was no entourage of guards, only half an hour's journey, unlike the time when the court could drive the carriage directly into the palace, this time it stopped at the main gate, and what greeted me was the majestic signboard with tall and gorgeous walls, and the powerful looking guards guarding the door.

The forbidden army in the palace has indeed changed dramatically now.

When a later generation arrives in a strange and backward environment, there can be no monarchy in his eyes, which is normal, but to think about unifying the world and being the emperor all day long, that is brain-dead, at that time, his heart was more afraid of self-preservation, and he did what he could, and Ning Zhiyuan now has a very strong impulse to join it, he knows that his mentality has undergone earth-shaking changes, just because he has enough strength to make it all within reach.

Maybe some people are not greedy for power, that is because the power is not big enough, but no one does not yearn for the imperial power that can be easily obtained, that is a real saint, he is a layman, even in the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius sage is not also a long distance day and night just to be an official? Absolute power, that represents absolute freedom and status.

......

In the imperial study, Chongzhen put down the mountains of twists and turns, and was very impatient, maybe he couldn't wait for these quarters of an hour.

Although he had been waiting for a few days, now that he heard that Ning Zhiyuan had been standing at the gate of the palace for a while, he couldn't help but open his mind again.

Why? Then why did Ning Zhiyuan stand at the gate of my palace for so long, is this a peek at my position...?

"Your Majesty, Lord Ning asks to see..."

Thinking wildly, the sound outside made Ning Chongzhen calm down instantly.

"Come in..."

Chongzhen seemed to be a little older, Ning Zhiyuan lowered his head and looked at it with his peripheral vision, and then touched his chin quietly, premature aging to this point, perhaps because the burden of Daming was too heavy and the mess was too messy, but it was definitely not the main reason.

"Wechen..."

"Alright, sit down." Chongzhen said familiarly, with a smile on his face, "Raise your head and I can still eat you." ”

Ning Zhiyuan smiled, his momentum was subdued, and he didn't feel the slightest pressure, as if he hadn't appeared just now.

Chongzhen's appearance is very sincere, not at all like between monarchs and ministers, it seems to be sincere but I don't know how much sincerity, if Yuan Chonghuan was killed like this, it would be too wronged, because Chongzhen's attitude clearly makes people feel that even if they commit a big thing, it's okay, we are brothers... That's why Yuan Chonghuan did so outrageous.

Chongzhen squinted his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking, when Ning Zhiyuan was not in front of him, he always remembered it from time to time, and always felt that he was too worried, but now he didn't know what to do, once upon a time, he always regarded the young man in front of him who was about the same age as him as a confidant, maybe in the eyes of many people, Ning Zhiyuan is still his henchman now, but the specific situation makes him tormented.

Isn't it right to do too well? At this time, Chongzhen felt that he had figured it out, because the affairs of Ningxia were gone.

"Why didn't you tell me when you came to the capital? I have to send someone to invite you! Chongzhen said angrily, "Do you want to do it yet... Yes? ”

Ning Zhiyuan shook his head very seriously.

Chongzhen was speechless, he didn't know what to say at this time, he didn't expect Ning Zhiyuan to answer so simply, and the answer was so unexpected.

......

"You have to do it, and you have to do it if you don't do it." Chongzhen threw down a sentence a little stiffly, and seemed to be a little angry.

"Because Your Majesty knows." Ning Zhiyuan looked at the chair under his seat, and there was a big gap between him and Chongzhen.

This sentence sounded a little incomprehensible, and it was not the right one, but it made Chongzhen's face stagnate, and then he was relieved, he naturally knew that that sentence was Ning Zhiyuan's first question to answer, why didn't he talk to me when he came to the capital?

"I really know, there is nothing in the entire capital that I don't know." Chongzhen nodded of course, not feeling that there was anything wrong, "But I just wanted to see when you would come to see me, but I didn't expect so many days to pass." ”

"Weichen is also waiting for the emperor to summon him."

"--" Chongzhen suddenly did it too deliberately, but it's nothing, why do you want to find out? Chongzhen didn't believe that Ning Zhiyuan wouldn't have been unaware of his suspicions, nor would he have failed to realize that his actions were actually very suspicious.

"Hey..."Chongzhen sighed heavily.

"There should be as many impeachment recitals as there are these piles of memoranda, right?" Ning Zhiyuan pointed to the table full of folds and asked.

"More than three times more..."Chongzhen showed a wry smile, remembered something again, and his face softened a lot.

"In that case, why did the emperor let his ministers go back to their hometown?" Ning Zhiyuan looked at his expression and knew what Chongzhen remembered, naturally it was a matter of Datong, in the eyes of the imperial court, he was a meritorious member, but among the people, he was a great meritorious, and this was enough.

"Wechen has long wanted to go back to his hometown and hold his wife, children and children to live a good life, anyway, no one dares to bully Wechen now."

"Wife, son..."Chongzhen remembered that Ning Zhiyuan's first child was gone, and he was a little surprised.

"Then you will live in Ningxia from now on?"

"Naturally..."Ning Zhiyuan straightened up and nodded seriously, "Your Majesty, Rong Weichen said that Ningxia is very good, really good." ”

The glint in his eyes made Chongzhen unable to believe that he was a rebellious person, just as calm as before.

"That..."Chongzhen opened his mouth in confusion, only this one word.

"The situation in Ningxia is very complicated, there are roughly three forces, one in Yuanguyuan, one in Ningxia, and Weichen." Ning Zhiyuan shook his head, a little helpless, "Speaking of which, it's strange that Weichen has developed Ningxia too well, so..."

"Afraid that I will ruin their wealth?" The talk stopped, so that Chongzhen couldn't find a flaw, and Chongzhen felt that he was about to believe it.

"Your Majesty, you're all poor and crazy, maybe you'll really do that..."

“――――”

"Hahaha..."Chongzhen suddenly laughed, and after a long time, he sighed with emotion, "It's been a long time, it's been a long time since anyone has talked to me like this." ”

Ning Zhiyuan was silent, Chongzhen seemed a little pitiful, but he believed that no matter what point he reached, he would not change, and those girls could be by his side.

"So, you have to do this official!" Chongzhen said loudly.
