At this moment, Ning Zhiyuan is stepping on the land of the capital, compared with the last time, it has been more than a year since he came to the capital, and there seems to be some insignificant changes in the prosperity of the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The city is still the same city, and the people are still those people, but too many major events have happened in the past year or so, the thieves have risen and fallen, and the Houjin has come and gone, and now the northwest territory has begun to burn again, and the atmosphere is silent. The city is as lively and noisy as ever, after all, it is the capital, and at the feet of the real Son of Heaven, the local people here can still get by, and the business is as prosperous as ever.

The soldiers at the head of the city seem to be very energetic, no longer the same as before, they are waiting for death, presumably Chongzhen has some money to spare and really began to pay attention to the army, but a large number of people have been banned from entering the capital outside the city, I don't know if it is the sequelae left by the group of King Chuang and their disciples or the evil consequences of Chongzhen's salary, or both? This made Ning Zhiyuan feel a little emotional.

Maybe it won't be long before many of them will become thieves, who can blame it, Ning Zhiyuan knows that Chongzhen definitely doesn't know about such a scene outside the capital right now, and even if he knows, he doesn't know what to do.

Ning Daguan returned to the house he bought before and settled down first, although there was no master in it, there were still a few servants who lived here for a long time and often cleaned it, as soon as Ning Zhiyuan moved in and added hundreds of personal soldiers, the originally deserted house suddenly became lively.

I wanted to put Kou Baimen here, but since I did that kind of thing, although this Kou Woman is still as capable and heroic as ever, Kou Woman seems to be more and more clingy, so he also dispelled his thoughts, after all, he also saw Xu Guangqi, and Xiao Baimen is not an outsider.

Kou Baimen, who was holding a small hand on the street, looked very curious, she had not been to the capital yet, and her face was just a little disappointed, this is the capital? It seems to be worse than Ningxia, right...?

And thinking of Xu Guangqi, Ning Zhiyuan's originally somewhat emotional mood suddenly became dull again, he didn't know when Xu Guangqi in another time and space died, but now that he can't even mention the pen, he should be far away, thinking that this cheap grandfather's help to him may not be so great in his own opinion, but Ning Zhiyuan feels that the relationship with him is really complicated.

In addition to sending himself a lady to give Li Jinis to himself to make Ning Zhiyuan grateful, he gave him a few unambitious apprentices, not the kind of scholar disciples in the examination room, but Xu Guangqi, who is a scientist, his apprentice, is some strange people, like Sun Yuanhua, who focuses on scientific research, in the eyes of ordinary people, is not a serious job, and in his eyes is a real talent.

The two have similar philosophies, if Xu Guangqi leaves, in addition to one less relative, he feels that he will have one less confidant.

The Xu Mansion was silent, the door was closed, and the door was lightly slammed, and the housekeeper saw that Ning Zhiyuan's somewhat depressed face showed a smile that seemed to be a long-lost time.

Winter is almost over, but the house is still cold, I don't know what kind of mood it is, Kou Baimen's palms are a little sweaty, and his unchanged face also looks very worried, Ning Zhiyuan smiled at the girl, and then walked to Xu Guangqi's bedroom under the leadership of the housekeeper.

"Zhiyuan... Is it Zhiyuan? The moment he pushed the door, the movement woke up the old man inside, and there was a weak question, and there was an intermittent cough.

"Hmm..." Ning Zhiyuan replied softly, with mixed feelings in his heart, the thin and thin back on the bed turned into four thin words in Ning Zhiyuan's mind, and his birthday was approaching.

"You, first... Let's go down. Xu Guangqi was helped up and leaned on the edge of the bed, and then looked at the old woman and Kou Baimen next to him who seemed to be also elderly, and withdrew her.

Kou Baimen gave a salute and then retreated with the same hesitation, she was not used to such an occasion, and it was not suitable, just come to meet her, she was very happy, and it would be counterproductive to stay any longer.

"This little girl is also calling my grandfather..."Xu Guangqi's eyes moved from Kou Baimen's back, Ning Zhiyuan sighed in his heart and nodded, just now Kou Nuxia was indeed the grandfather who shouted, and it was Ning Zhiyuan who instructed.

At any time in the past, even if this old man's body was no longer good, his eyes were always sharp and energetic, but he really lost his luster at this moment.

"People are not romantic, young men...", he spoke with a long tail note, and even made a joke.

Ning Zhiyuan also laughed, but no matter how he looked at it, he had a sad taste.

"I close my eyes, I can always see a lot of things from the past..."Xu Guangqi's voice was very low and weak, as if he was muttering to himself, but Ning Zhiyuan knew that it was not.

"I, Xu Guangqi, was a nineteen-year-old talent in the show, and at the age of forty-two, I was able to get on the list, and then my career was not smooth, and I had some hope when I was old..."

Ning Zhiyuan didn't know what the hope in this old man's mouth meant that he was now detached from the status of the elders of the three dynasties of the imperial court or what, with Ning Zhiyuan's own understanding, Xu Guangqi was indeed not doing his job in this life, but the influence of this early Catholic in later generations was huge.

"The old man can't compare to your father, and he can't compare to you..."

Maybe it's because I suffered too much when I was down, so I couldn't see my children living a hard life, so that's why..."

The old man's eyes narrowed, as if he was too tired to open his eyes, Ning Zhiyuan knew that he was talking about his parents, and he didn't make a sound, it was not that he had no conscience, but he really didn't have any reason to blame Xu Guangqi for anything. "But it's good to have you."

"The old man has been committed to all kinds of strange things all his life, from the land to the deep mountains and old forests, and has always believed that everything in heaven and earth always has its laws, I am a Ming, and it has been more than two hundred years, in so many previous dynasties, there is no other..."

Ning Zhiyuan's heart moved, and he felt like he had been seen through. If you don't count the branches of dynasties, the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Western Han Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty, Xu Guangqi may be right, but Ning Zhiyuan feels that Xu Guangqi does not mean the time to maintain, but the integrity of the Ming Dynasty, and the key thing at the moment is that Xu Guangqi's words seem to be a summary of the end of the Ming Dynasty.

"A lifetime of ups and downs, it's enough to live, after the defeat of the Ming army in the Battle of Salhu, the shortcomings of my Ming Dynasty have been exposed, the army problem is too serious, if it weren't for the years when the army department Shangshu built the northeast defense line, I'm afraid that the one in the palace has changed hands now..."

In fact, Xu Guangqi is not a very loyal person, not that he has two hearts, but he has experienced the baptism of Western ideological trends He is not very supportive of this feudal system, in his eyes, the cycle of heaven and earth is the number of fate, but the Ming Dynasty still has to try its best to protect.

"Many years ago, the old man asked the first emperor to train his troops, but it was always ineffective, and now the saint has finally woken up." Xu Guangqi shook his head, "Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and now the Ming Dynasty's harsh taxes are unprecedented, which really makes me see the signs of the country's demise..."

"The rise and fall of a dynasty should only be based on the geometry of its taxes and the surplus of the treasury... But the funny thing is that the taxes are so high, but there has never been a surplus grain in the treasury. Ann? As a citizen of the Ming Dynasty..."Xu Guangqi's words were a little sad and indignant, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was heartbroken.

"So...!" Xu Guangqi's eyes suddenly opened, then he looked at Ning Zhiyuan, and said word by word, "Don't ruin Daming..."

Ning Zhiyuan nodded, no longer speaking, there is no need to argue about this kind of matter, even if it is guessed, no one will have evidence, and he will not admit anything, even in front of Xu Guangqi, no one can guarantee whether this old man will play to Chongzhen, so Chongzhen will definitely believe it, although the matter has no big impact, but nominally it is a little troublesome.

"I'm old, but Zhiyuan, you're still young." Xu Guangqi nodded, and his voice returned to a weak appearance, as if the spirit just now had not appeared, "Now your situation is a little bad, the emperor is going to put you close to the capital or even the palace this time, you must not like this kind of life." ”

"So..."

Ning Zhiyuan straightened his body, his eyes stared at the panting old man in front of him, he seemed to be a little tired because he talked too much, to be direct, it was the old man who was sighing just now, but the next thing he said was the right thing, he knew that maybe this was what he was going to do, where to go This wise old man will pay a place for himself.

He thought about it himself, but he felt that Chongzhen didn't seem to let him go there, even if it was in Jinling, so he didn't want to, anyway, he had the confidence, so he wasn't afraid of anything.

After the battle of Datong, his fame has risen to a new height, it is no exaggeration to say that he has achieved great success, he captured Huang Taiji alive, this is the first time in the history of the Ming Dynasty to defeat Houjin, and it is a complete defeat, perhaps in the eyes of many people, he is no longer an ordinary person, and there are still a lot of doubts on his body, so he will not rest assured when he wants to come to Chongzhen, according to his heart, it is so.

"You talk to the emperor, and then go to Liangguang to be a governor." Xu Guangqi finally said slowly.

"Governor of Liangguang..."Ning Zhiyuan fell into deep thought, Xu Guangqi kept silent, for him now, speaking has become a kind of physical work.

The Governor of Liangguang is a second-grade official position, a high-ranking official, but it is so easy in Xu Guangqi's mouth, not because of how big his official position is, but because Ning Daguan is really worthy of this tone, Ning Zhiyuan is like a first-class official, even if he is the governor of Liangguang, I believe that in the eyes of the vast majority of people, he will think that it is unfair and he has been wearing small shoes.

Frankly speaking, a Liangguang governor is not even as good as a local governor of Sanpin, because that place is too special, the imperial court almost gave up its absolute control over that place, and became a prisoner concentration camp, but the governor was sent by the imperial court, and the rest are almost all local.

And more importantly, it is more chaotic than the northwest at the most chaotic time, and it has almost become the world of Tufan, and the influence of the Ming Dynasty is extremely weak here, and there is no one.

"It's a good place to go..."Ning Daguan muttered, winning sympathy and watching the changes in this Ming Dynasty by the way, and the key thing is that if you surrender here, it will be much easier to do things, because this is a coastal place.

Listening to Ning Zhiyuan's words to himself, Xu Guangqi knew that he had figured it out, and there seemed to be a smile on his face, perhaps because he could still give some help to the juniors he was related to, but the wrinkled face made people not really look at it.

"I'm old..."Xu Guangqi said these three words again, and he didn't know how much detachment and loneliness he had hidden in his heart, "I didn't care, except..."

Ning Zhiyuan listened carefully, he didn't know what else Xu Guangqi would worry about, but he would definitely experience helping him complete and take care of it, could it be his family? Ning Zhiyuan shook his head secretly, he didn't know what family Xu Guangqi had, and he was not interested, it was enough to accept a Xu Guangqi, he hated the entanglement of the worldly seven aunts and eight aunts, and since Xu Guangqi had never introduced him, he must have his own considerations.

Xu Guangqi shook his head without thinking of something, "You can help me take care of a girl." ”

Ning Daguan blinked, a little surprised, and opened his mouth to say something, but was dismissed by Xu Guangqi.

"The old man is tired..." This sentence drew an end to the meeting between the grandfather and grandson.

It's not perfect, at least it makes Ning Daguan full of doubts, but his heart is a lot brighter, but then you didn't tell me that it's really good to take care of someone? He nodded slightly, and then walked out of the room under Xu Guang's inspiration.

I didn't see Kou Baimen, a personal guard led Ning Zhiyuan to walk in front, and he should be looking for her.

.........

"Baimen..."Ning Daguan looked at the scene in front of him with a smile on his face, how could he feel that something was wrong, he thought that Kou Baimen should have been invited to a place like a tea pavilion or a hall, and in this courtyard that seemed very remote and wide, what he saw was Kou Baimen with a curious face, and there was another ... A heroic woman.

"You're here..."Kou Baimen turned his head and smiled, seeming to be very interested, "Look at this thing that Sister Xu made... Twinkle and twinkle..."

And the other woman, probably Sister Xu in Kou Bai's door, directly ignored Ning Zhiyuan.

Ning Daguan turned his gaze with a smile, and then he never looked away, and the surprise in his heart was beyond measure.

How... How can it be... This kind of thing will appear!?
