"That's it, lord, you don't know how hateful those people are! The princess and slave saw the princess clenching her fists several times and wanted to punch her!"

King Ning picked up the tea that had just been poured by Youyou, put it to his mouth and took a sip gently, and then looked at the night outside the window.

"Lord Wang......" Seeing that King Ning was indifferent, you were still distracted, and couldn't help but drag out your voice, and shouted dissatisfiedly.

King Ning was forced back by this angry and dissatisfied voice, he turned his head to look at the still angry face on his face, smiled, and said, "Got it." This king will go and tell the princess that she will not be allowed to participate in these messy and miasma socials in the future, so as not to suffer from the noise of those long-tongued poisonous women. The king is still here, and the sky is falling and the king is the first to bear it! Oh...... By the way, whose lady do you say? What's her name?"

"The lady of the left of the middle study. Chan. Yoyo replied.

"Oh, Zuo Guanyu. King Ning frowned, rubbed his cheeks with both hands, and continued, "Well, I know. Anyway, this king is still the prince, and your young lady is also the princess, hum...... Is the family of Zhengsipindi able to bully the head of this king? Is it true that this king's good temper in the past few years is that he has no temper? Tomorrow, let Zuo Guanyu take a break from that shrew. Are you satisfied?"

"A slave and maid are just a person, and it's okay to be wronged, but the princess has a noble status, and if she doesn't give face to the princess, she doesn't give face to King Ning. The main thing is that the princess can't be wronged. Yoyo said this in his mouth, but he was actually still happy. At least this prince does love the princess very much, he was born in the family of the official eunuch since he was a child, he naturally knows what the concept of Zheng Sipin is an official position, even if King Ning is the prince, he may not be able to let the Zuo master divorce his wife at will. However, if the prince has this heart, it is enough to make people very happy.

King Ning looked at the expression on Youyou's face and found it very interesting, so he laughed a few times and asked her to retreat first.

Yoyo re-lit a few oil lamps to make the room bright again, looked at the prince who was working hard again, sighed, gently closed the door and retreated.

When the maid closed the door and withdrew, King Ning raised his head and looked out of the window of the starry moon. He put down his pen for a long time, sighed, stood up and walked anxiously a few steps around the room.

After a long time, as if he had made up his mind, the anxious hesitation in his eyes slowly faded, and was replaced by determination and affirmation without hesitation.

King Ning gently pushed open the door, walked out of the study, and approached Donglin Garden.

King Ning strolled to the mysterious study where he had been staying for a day, and after entering, he sighed slightly and turned a blue and white porcelain vase on the bookshelf.

With a slight turn, a secret door emerged behind the bookshelf.

A narrow staircase, a dark staircase, Ning Wang went down the staircase, and walked about four meters away, and then the view was wide, as bright as day, and eight night pearls hung on the four walls of this wide house.

This study was built next to the lake, and these secret rooms were built right under the lake.

The chamber is surrounded by bookshelves on all sides, each of which is more than a foot high and is more than a foot high along the corner, and the shelves are filled with various book scrolls.

There was nothing in the middle, and there was only a large long table for fifteen or sixteen people to sit on the ground.

An old man in a white robe with white hair sat cross-legged in the center and squinted slightly to read a book, next to a small long table with white paper spread out. Next to him, there was a scholar more than two feet tall with a tiger's beard, but it was a dwarf villain kneeling beside him, lightly grinding juice.

When the scholar who was grinding ink saw King Ning walk in, he stood aside and gently retreated.

King Ning approached and bowed to the old man, and stood aside with his hands in his hands.

The old man did not look up, but gently twisted the pages with his index finger until he had read three pages, and then closed the book. Gently set the book aside, picked up the large cup of tea, and took a few sips. After the cup in his hand, he stretched his waist greatly and stood up.

The old man's face was indifferent and slightly tired, and he walked in the direction of another door.

King Ning didn't ask questions either, and followed closely.

The light in this room was dim, but there were faint hydrological light waves overhead, faintly shining in this room under the moonlight.

Entering the main entrance is a picture of water lilies, the water dissipates the silt, the lotus flowers are scorched, the lotus roots are broken and dry, only the branches of the lotus leaves, a few new shoots and green thorns emerge.

The interior of the house is elegantly furnished, with a few green plants in the corner and a small bookshelf, and some of the high, short, fat and thin porcelain vases that look brilliant are displayed on the bookshelf coffee table, which is extremely elegant.

In the middle, there is a huge coffee table with a strange shape and a dark gold floor.

On the golden silk sandalwood coffee table from the camphor wood ground in the Qingzhou jungle, the beasts are carved and look down, like staring at the sandalwood mist on the tea tray.

The old man in white slowly walked to the purple bamboo rattan chair next to the tea table, and pointed to a chair next to King Ning to signal him to sit down. Rubbing his eyes that had been reading for too long and his cheeks that were a little stiff and wrinkled.

King Ning's expression was calm, and he sat solemnly, straightening his chest.

At this moment the scholar in the hall came in with a kettle, and the spout of the kettle was slowly steaming.

Seeing this, King Ning took the teapot in the scholar's hand and waved to the scholar.

Qingzhou's tea, there are only two thousand pine tea on the gap of the thousand-foot stone toughness, after the hot water is brewed, the fragrance is overflowing, the water quality is clear, the entrance is slightly bitter, and the throat is sweet.

The old man took a sip and said, "Yes, King Ning's craftsmanship has improved a lot. ”

King Ning replied respectfully: "The mother concubine is old and often depressed, and as a son, she doesn't know what to do. It just so happened that the mother concubine had such a hobby, so she studied with the red snail around the mother for a while, so that she could make the mother happier after entering the palace. ”

The old man nodded when he heard this, his mother finger and index finger lightly twisted the purple sand teapot, and looked at the exquisite carvings on the teacup, and he didn't care about King Ning.

King Ning was silent for a long time, stood up, bowed solemnly to the old gentleman, and said, "Please help me, sir!"

The old man glanced at King Ning with cloudy eyes, gently and slowly put down the teacup, leaned lazily on the purple bamboo chair, and clasped his fingers on the table. After a long time, he said lightly: "Have you decided?"

King Ning straightened up, looked at the old man with a solemn expression, and said, "It's decided!"

The old man chuckled lightly and closed his eyes, but he couldn't tell what this chuckle meant.

King Ning gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, since more than 4,000 loyal soldiers of the Lu family army were killed five years ago, I have already made a decision. At the very least, there was already a seed planted in my heart at that time. Brother Seven, who is good friends with me, his teacher is Cheng Wuben, a senior general in the army! Brother Seventh has loved to be in the military since he was a child, and he is willing to learn from Emperor Taishang to expand his territory. I was willing to stand with him because of his ambition. But I never thought that I begged him to send troops to rescue him that day, but he pushed back, saying that he did not dare to disobey the emperor's order. Later, I figured out that he had already coveted the 200,000 brave iron horsemen in Gongzhou Burning City, and he knew that as long as there was a road commander for a day, even if there was an old general Cheng Wuben, it would be difficult to subdue. After the dragons in Gongzhou were leaderless, he secretly sent his henchmen to woo and subdue the generals in the army, so that he could use them. Otherwise, in the third year, he could not wait to go to the burning of the city, and succeeded in taking the 200,000 iron horsemen under his command. At that time, I was helpless, so I could only beg him, but ......"

King Ning lowered his head, his eyes were full of sorrow, "In the burning of the city for more than a month, I have seen with my own eyes that the Lujia army has suffered from wind and sand in order to protect the border fortress of my Jingguo, and the people on my border have been constantly looted and killed by Loulan, but it is really those brave soldiers who use their own flesh and blood to protect the peace of those people with their own lives. Throw your head and spill your blood. Heroes shed blood, but they shed tears! On the other hand, those humeral ministers in the DPRK and China sang songs and sang happily every night. There have been many droughts and natural disasters in various parts of Kyushu, and some percent of the relief grain money put down by the imperial court can reach the hands of the real people, and I was already disheartened by the dispute between the imperial court, until my father sent me to Cangzhou, and I really couldn't bear to see the people's suffering! They only cared about their own pleasures, and they didn't care whether the people lived or died? Even the loyal soldiers who were suffering in the frontier were directly betrayed under a conspiracy! They were sold to the enemies of Loulan! Their ugly faces were disgusting! !

"I knelt in front of my father for three days, kneeling until I collapsed from dehydration and fainted to the ground, and my father was only indifferent! You can't make this world fair!, you can make this world harmonious and peaceful!" King Ning said in a heavy tone.

The old man was unmoved.

"Please help me, Mr. Wei!" King Ning knelt on one knee, respectfully and solemnly.

Only then did the old man open his cloudy eyes, light Buddha sleeves, King Ning rose with his strength, and there was a look of anxiety on his face.

The old man stared at King Ning for a long time, and then asked with a smile: "Is it only because you see that the people are poor that you have this intention of seizing the heir?"

Seize the heir, these two words are taboo.

From the mouth of the old man, it was plain as usual, like a greeting from a friend who usually meets. Even King Ning didn't feel anything wrong when he listened.

King Ning sighed lightly and replied honestly, "Of course, there is a reason, and there is another reason. I don't want to be that kind of straw bag anymore that can't even protect my beloved. Five years ago, if I had an army or some power, things wouldn't have gotten to that point. Now, even my beloved woman is running for my future, but the princess of the palace is still being bullied by the wives of other ministers. I don't mind if people say I'm a straw bag, but I don't allow anyone to let my beloved woman suffer a little grievance. ”

When the old man heard this, his eyes turned slightly, and he said, "Red face and trouble, do you know that those who have achieved great things should not be infatuated with the love of men and women?"

King Ning laughed and said, "Wang Tu hegemony, what is the real so-called? It is important to have the common people in mind and get rid of the dawn and suffering, but if you can't even protect your friends and lovers, what is the use of this hegemony coming?"

The old man sighed when he heard this, his eyes stared at the mess of sandalwood on the coffee table, and said, "Do you know that this answer makes me very dissatisfied? Could it be that you want me to take a whole sect with you just to protect your beloved?"

King Ning was silent for a long time, sighed again, and said leisurely: "Naturally, I know that it is not enough, when the old gentleman found this king, what did he fancy about this king? ”

Old Man Wei laughed when he heard this, stroked his white beard, and said: "In front of the old man, King Ning should call himself 'this king', instead of 'I', since you have made a decision now, the old man will naturally help you." ”

Old Man Wei stood up, walked a few steps in the house, and said, "Although King Ning has no power now, he has a good identity and a good heart. Hmph, what do they all think, those who achieve great things should not be confined to small sections, but the old man thinks that it is the opposite. Just as the ancients said, 'If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world?' Governing the country is like a small cooking, this kind of 'small cooking' is a good heart in the eyes of the old man, and in the eyes of those self-righteous scholars, it is the 'benevolence of a woman'. ”

The old man walked to a green plant on the bookshelf, gently played with the leaves, and said: "However, kindness should still be limited, the old man still hopes that you have the ability to discern, in the future, in front of any person, remember, you must call yourself the king, not surrender yourself!"

King Ning stood behind the old man and forcibly suppressed his bowing movements, but only gave a slight salute, and his tone was still respectful: "Mr. Xie Wei!"
