Chapter 187: Fight back to its original form, and the water will flow for a long time
When King Su relied on the rise of the former military capital and the national division, many people thought that this King Su, who had never been favored by them, was the person they looked at after King Rui, and then after the emperor issued the decree of marriage, most people regarded it as a strong competitor of the crown prince Chao Wang, and then the emperor set up to send troops to be stationed in Suzhou, which was regarded as a training for him by the emperor, and some people even faintly speculated that with Ning Chengyou's strength, if he was honed in Suzhou for two or three years, When there is a certain majesty in the army, once the ambition explodes, it is very likely to bring turmoil to Dahe, but what they didn't expect was that Ning Chengyou, who had only been in the limelight for a month, would usher in such a disaster.
When these ministers who had Xiyi for King Su learned that King Su was actually linked to the Fuhu Mutiny, everyone was so frightened that their eyes were blackened, and they were linked to the mutiny, even if they had eight mouths, they couldn't tell it!
Therefore, during the trial of the three divisions, the only people who spoke for Ning Chengyou were those old stubborns in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, as well as Concubine Chang who ran for him.
Ning Chengyou, who has always regarded the prince as a fierce rival, finally has a clearer understanding of his brother when he is in prison, and he is even more grateful to his mother who has always thought that he is partial and ruthless.
But this has come to this, and the time has come to this.
Ning Chengyou, who has been confined to the Su Wangfu for the past few days, has written countless letters, but in the end he was brought back by his cronies intact, and he finally understood that in the circle of interests first, he has lost everything that others have to use, so although he is the king of Su, he has not been able to send a few courtiers, although he is the king of Su, he can only be trapped in the Su Wangfu, waiting for the arrival of the three divisions of the trial.
Again and again, his hope was extinguished by cold water again and again, he was no longer irritable, no longer restless, no longer trying to put down his dignity and ask for help from others, he began to meditate.
For your future, for your past, for your present.
In the past, he didn't have the love of his father and the emperor, he didn't have the protection of his mother, he hated his brother the most, got everything, took everything, he became the one who attracted much attention, and he was just the one who was forgotten, they had the same blood in their bodies, they were the only siblings among the brothers, but he was born with hatred for his brother, he regarded his brother as the ultimate enemy on his way forward, the enemy who had to be defeated, this is what he has been working hard for in the past, It was also something he thought he would continue to work on in the future, but now, he began to waver.
Because he knew that at the moment when everyone questioned and scolded him, it was his brother who stood up and risked being associated with the rebellion to win the triage of the three divisions for himself.
He is not a stone, and his hatred for his brother only comes from the fact that they never disdained to give him the slightest care from those closest to him.
Today, however, he found that the world seemed to be different from what he had imagined it to see.
His brother doesn't seem to have the same hatred for him as he does, despite the many things he's done against him over the years.
What is important to him is the throne? Or do you want to be the one in the limelight?
He was confused, confused in the world he had set up for the past twenty years.
It is precisely that I have never had it, and once I taste it, I will feel so beautiful and precious.
After pondering, he understood a lot.
He knew his heart better than he had lived for the past twenty years.
From love to hate, he should be like this to his brother.
That's it, what he had done for twenty years suddenly became useless in his eyes; It was in this way that he began to understand the meaning of his continued life and his choice if he could not get through this hurdle.
He calmed down, no longer tried to be the moth that pounced on the flames but was dying, and settled like an old monk every day, sitting for a day, and then on the day of the third division's trial, he burned incense and bathed, waiting for the judgment.
On the ninth day of the first month, his judgment came.
The complete chain of evidence made the always rigorous Rao Su silent, and let the criminal department Shangshu Dong Yi who stood behind King Chao be silent, although the old stubborn of the Metropolitan Procuratorate blew their beards and stared at their eyes and roared, but they could not withstand the two divisions of the three divisions, as we all know, the emperor's attitude towards this group of old stubborn people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate is actually not as respectful as the world's scholars, especially after the imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate knelt in the imperial garden on the matter of King Rui's wedding, the emperor's attitude towards these old stubborn people seems to have become more direct. In the past few days, the crown prince and concubine Chang have been running for King Su, although they all understand that this is a crime of rebellion, but as the only relative who can say a word for him now, they chose to stand on his side, which is something that Ning Chengyou is thankful for.
But their running did not give him a chance to maneuver.
Dong Yi's attitude is resolute and unshakable.
Rao Su only believed in the evidence and did not waver.
So, they went looking for evidence, but found nothing.
This game of chess has been played for a long time, and the useless pieces have long been captured, and they can't find evidence.
So Concubine Chang cried in front of the emperor every day, talking about Ning Cheng's filial piety when he was young, talking about his conscientiousness over the years, and the national teacher often appeared outside Ning Yuan Palace, and the prince occasionally appeared.
Concubine Chang's cry is still of some use to the emperor, looking at the beauty with pear blossoms and rain, looking at her child's mother, the layers of haze in her heart faded a little,
The emperor asked Shu Ruhai to bring his own meaning to Rao Su Dong Yi, no matter what happened, he couldn't hurt his life.
Saving his life is the best situation for Concubine Chang, the prince and even for the current Ning Chengyou, the prince has one less competitor who doesn't want to hurt, Concubine Chang keeps her son, and Ning Chengyou, who has already made up his mind, is also a new life for him.
In the end, the trial of the three divisions was to take back the military talisman of the former military capital and the official seal of the former military capital governor's office, and let him go to Lingyin Temple with the national teacher.
Where did he come from, where did he go, Ning Chengyou didn't feel wronged, he took this step, it was a blessing to be able to save his life, and the throne was no longer important to him now.
"The triage of the three divisions is really a boring thing!" In Xu's mother's mouth, Du Yiyi was not the slightest surprised, when the emperor ordered the three divisions to be tried, this result seemed to be doomed, Ning Chengyou was finally beaten back to his original form and lost everything and returned to the pure land of Lingyin Temple, which may also be a good thing.
In the morning, Ning Zhiyuan left after arguing with her, and left in despair, Du Yiyi thought about it, and finally did not let Forsythia buy the screen.
In the bedroom of Huai Yuju, there is a screen that does not occupy an area, but it seems to be a lot more open, and the maids are very excited this day, chattering with Du Yiyi about the interesting things in the capital to relieve her worries.
Marquis Chang Shenghou of Zhenguo left the capital this afternoon with the emperor's decree and 30,000 soldiers and horses, although she was not present, but she roughly knew the situation at that time under Shui Ping's colorful description.
Forsythia came to report that Ning Zhiyuan went to Changliu's courtyard after leaving, and stayed there for an afternoon, even if the Marquis of Zhenguo Changsheng sent troops, he did not send them.
That is, at dusk, a guest came to the Rui Wang's Mansion, so that Du Yiyi walked out of Huaiyu Residence, and Ning Zhiyuan walked out of Changliu Courtyard and arrived at the lobby one after another.
This person is Ning Zhiyuan's henchman, Zhao Jingzhi, the soldier she told her a few days ago.
That is, the candidate he chose for Ning Xiao.
Zhao Jingzhi is not the same as the rough mine of the people in the army, although he does not have Shen Ke's domineering spirit that comes out of the battlefield, but he also has a bit of his calm demeanor, Ning Zhiyuan once said that he is both civil and military and comes from a famous family, and he is young and promising, judging from his talking and demeanor, he is indeed so.
Seeing that his posture was upright and respectful but not flattering, and his eyes were bright and clear like a cold pool, Du Yiyi's heart was no longer the previous rejection, and it was a little more solemn.
But this is Ning Xiao's marriage, although she is talking about it, she must also worry about it.
"Is there a concubine room in Lord Zhao's house?"
"No, since the crown ceremony, I take care of my own food, clothing and daily life, and there is no maid in the courtyard!"
Zhao Jingzhi was very respectful and answered very carefully, obviously he and Ning Zhiyuan had already talked about this topic.
"Lord Zhao is such a character, and he is also a hero and beauty, should he belong to his heart?"
Is? Du Yiyi asked with a smile.
"The country has not reported, and Jingzhi does not dare to think about lifelong events. There are only three books of war in my heart, and there is no beauty. Zhao Jingzhi had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, she didn't have the enthusiasm of an official, nor the indifference of a soldier, this kind of smile that was just right to the extreme made Du Yiyi very comfortable, but she knew that Ning Xiao might not be comfortable, Zhao Jingzhi may be the white lotus among those bureaucrats who are hungry for profit, but this cautious style of acting is very different from Ning Xiao's temperament.
"Then Ling Zun can make a marriage contract for Lord Zhao?"
"Not yet!"
"My father intends to marry Ning Xiao, and the prince wants to recommend you as the choice of the horse with my father, I don't know what you think?"
Zhao Jingzhi replied with a respectful smile: "Jingzhi wishes to marry Princess Ning Xiao, and can promise the princess that Princess Ning Xiao will be happy!" ”
"Oh? Then tell me, how to make Ning Xiao happy? Du Yiyi smiled, her eyes were bright and her gaze was direct.
Zhao Jingyi stepped forward, without the slightest shyness, "I heard that the princess has a bad stomach, I will take more care of the diet, I heard that the princess has a lively temperament and loves to play, I will definitely go home early to accompany me when I am free, I heard that the princess is sad day by day because of the eldest princess, I will definitely try my best to make her forget her worries and pains as soon as possible." ”
"It's easier said than done, marrying Ning Xiao, although you will become a colt in one fell swoop, but you also know that the relationship between Ning Xiao and his father has never been good, this will not give you another boost to your career, and may even make you lose your current errand and can only be a powerless colt, can you think about it?"
"Jing Zhi has already thought about it, how far Jing Zhi can go in his career depends on Jing Zhi's ability, if the emperor really asks me to step down, I don't have this ability!" Zhao Jingzhi replied calmly, this answer is very cunning, it sounds high-sounding and there are no loopholes to find mistakes, but this is not what Du Yiyi wants.
"Do you really like her?"
Zhao Jingzhi was silent for a moment, looked up at Ning Zhiyuan, and then turned his gaze to Du Yiyi's skirt. "If you like to be too rash, I have a relationship with the princess, even if I have a good feeling, the emotional matter is not in the initial mountain alliance and sea oath, only in the future, whether it can be a long stream, I am willing to manage this trickle for the princess!"
Du Yiyi was silent, this answer was not what she wanted, but it was true.
