Chapter 58: Choice
Sure enough, Ning Shaobi also said this: "The rumored Yue clan to seek justice for their mother's death is actually to ask for the name of a serious leader and to get those things back." How could a saint agree? Speculate that this is a matter in the Yue Clan, and let them go to Su Shina...... The person sent by my uncle saw that he couldn't make a plan and made another plan, and he wanted to serve me as the young master and welcome me back to the Yue clan to raise me. Naturally, my grandmother and father refused, and the people sent by my uncle said that my father was in his prime, and there would be many heirs in the future, but my mother only had one son, and I had to inherit the position of the head of the clan. ”
He said lightly, "For the sake of the overall situation, my father swore that he was very affectionate with his mother, and his mother was gone, and he had no intention of remarrying, and of course the only son-in-law was reluctant to separate, so he blocked the mouth of the Yue's envoy - what was forced by the Yue's envoy, his father was the saint's nephew, and his grandmother was there, if the Yue's envoy was directly urging 'forced', where would his father be afraid of him?" ”
When it comes to "incomparable love", Ning Shaobi's voice is slightly cool.
Zhuo Zhaojie was stunned for a moment, faintly aware of the strangeness between his expressions, and didn't know how to persuade for a while, so he only said softly: "It's so late, let's talk about it...... Would you like to take a break? It's not that Ming'er can't speak. ”
Ning Shaobi sighed, didn't answer this, but continued: "The current situation is very difficult to say, the saint is very old, and so is the queen. Although the king of Zhending County has become famous in the past two years, this is because the saint and the queen have spared no effort to hold him. Once the crown prince ascends the throne, this person who has been spared no effort to support will definitely be replaced. And the prince is in his prime...... Midorihime is still pampered, and it's really hard to say in the future. ”
Zhuo Zhaojie couldn't help but said: "When I went to the East Palace to meet the crown princess and see the county lord of Dingcheng, I also saw Lu Ji a few times, to be honest, let me come to see that it is a very ordinary 'girl', although she was born well, but I may not be able to compare with the princess, why does His Royal Highness the prince protect her like this?" ”
"I'm afraid I'll have to ask our eldest uncle." Ning Shaobi heard this, smiled slightly, and teased.
Zhuo Zhaojie glanced at him with disgust - it is true that Lu Ji is not worthy of the country's 'color' Tianxiang, but how can she be above Zhuo Fanghua in terms of appearance.
With such a joke, the atmosphere in the room is much more relaxed.
Zhuo Zhaojie turned back to the point and said, "Then you have a dispute with Su Shina...... Not a big house? ”
"Since Dafang has been sent to Jiannan, why should I bother with this?" Ning Shaobi snorted slightly, as if there was something to say, and said, "I have a lot of things to do now." ”
Zhuo Zhaojie was surprised: "Then you asked your grandmother to let Shi Niang pass over?" ”
"It's just a name, and it's done so that my grandmother is happy." Ning Shaobi said lightly, "The ceremony can be done casually after my father comes back, and my grandmother will preside over it." ”
"I'm not worried about the ceremony...... Alas, why did you and Su Shina quarrel like that, just say it! Zhuo Zhaojie muttered and said angrily.
Ning Shaobi stretched out his fingers and 'rubbed' his eyebrows, seeing this, Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly moved to the head of the couch, rolled his sleeves slightly, and reached out to gently 'rub' for him. Ning Shaobi closed her eyes and said with a smile: "This is the candle cutting at night when the green sleeves pass incense." As he spoke, he sniffed deeply at Zhuo Zhaojie's cuffs.
"I've been busy all day tonight and haven't even bothered to take a shower!" Zhuo Zhaojie smiled and said, "Don't talk about this...... Let's get down to business! ”
Ning Shaobi said, "Okay." In fact, the matter is very simple, Su Bo feels that it is not known who will kill the two emperors, it is better to take advantage of the current situation, the grandmother is still healthy, and the Huiyue clan will take the position of the Huiyue clan - even if it is not fully recaptured, but if it is a little foundation, even if the king of Zhending County is defeated. In the end, as long as I don't rebel against the 'chaos', now Da Liang is very prosperous, and few people in the government and the opposition are dizzy, arguing about swords, after all, the Yue clan is now the fetters of Da Liang. ”
Zhuo Zhaojie didn't expect it to be such a big event, and was stunned for a moment before he said, "Sounds ...... Isn't that good? ”
Ning Shaobi said hesitantly: "If you want to say that it is safe, of course, this method is the safest, whoever succeeds to the throne, I am safe!" ”
"Then why ......" Zhuo Zhaojie frowned slightly halfway through his words, and said, "But are you unwilling?" ”
Ning Shaobi said: "Hmm." ”
Zhuo Zhaojie also didn't say anything - according to her, since there is Yue's retreat, it is not a bad idea to take a step back and make peace. However, she can also understand Ning Shaobi's disagreement, not to mention how much effort Ning Shaobi herself has put into making the king of the county brilliant, four years ago in Moling, those things were all done by Ning Shaobi risking her own safety as a 'lure' bait.
Let's just say that the Marquis of Yongcheng - he married Shen Lige for the sake of today, and for this reason, he also took on the name of being a poor luck and relying on his wife to be knighted; He promised that Shen Lige would not continue after he went, and even endured the ridicule of Chang'an City for not being able to live with his wife for many years; He took the initiative to step into the competition for the crown of the emperor and grandson...... In the final analysis, it was also because Ning Shaobi offended Tang Cheng when he was young.
It can be said that the Marquis of Yongcheng has been smashed on others all his life.
Marrying a wife is for the sake of the present, and agreeing not to renew the string is not only for the sake of the present, but even the prince may not be exempt from his benefits, and he is involved in the matter of seizing the prince for the sake of the only son.
This prince who was used by Chang'an to give his 'daughter' an example of whether he must marry or not, is the eldest princess's beloved son, and the title has also arrived, in fact, it is not too much to say that the life is miserable.
Originally, Ning Shaobi was not a person who could get by, and their father and son had also made a note on the King of Zhending County for many years. Just walked away, peace is peace, but once the king of Zhending County ascends the throne...... Ning Shaobi abandoned him halfway, and in the end, the love he had cast earlier turned into a grudge, where could he say any benefit?
At that time, Ning Shaobi is afraid that he will also nest in the Western Regions for a lifetime in this life, he is just a teenager, growing up in the splendid Chang'an City, how can he endure such an ending?
Don't say that he can't, Zhuo Zhaojie, who is also a young man, also felt that Su Shi was too careful, and after thinking about it, he asked: "Su Shi urged you to go to the Yue Clan at this time?" Why? If you said you wanted to get out, why didn't you mention it earlier? ”
"In the end, I grew up in Chang'an, and it's not all Yue's blood. What's more, I have never been in the Western Regions, even if I occupy the name of righteousness, where can I say that I can go back? Ning Shaobi smiled bitterly and said, "My uncles and aunts have been in the clan for many years and were born and raised, even if my mother and Su Bo did a lot of back-up when they left, in the end, after many years, I want to sit on the position of the head as soon as I go back...... After all, it's a bit of a hang. ”
Zhuo Zhaojie was shocked and said, "If you say that...... Is it that the Yue clan suddenly has a convenient opportunity to go back, or is it not good in the court now, so Su Shi ......"
Ning Shaobi groaned for a moment before saying, "It's hard to say now...... Wait for the situation to change, so as to know. ”
"Change?" Zhuo Zhaojie looked at him in surprise and said, "What do you say?" ”
"I'll find out later." Ning Shaobi shook her head and said, "I don't want to just go back to the Yue Clan...... Zhaojie, I'm sorry, although it is not difficult to go back to Yueshi in this life, but I grew up in Chang'an, and I definitely don't want to leave here. As the young master of the Yue clan, I want to keep it to restrain the Yue clan in the Western Regions, and use it as a bargaining chip to run rampant in Chang'an...... If you really want to go to the Western Regions to fight for this position, unless it really comes to the point of no return. ”
He said slowly, "But if I am in Chang'an, for the Heavenly Family, this identity in the Yue Clan is actually just an empty word. A holy decree of the Heavenly Family can make the eldest uncle a serious head. So if you fail in the end, you have to follow me......"
"If you say that, I'm relieved." When Zhuo Zhaojie heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I am used to playing small and pampered, and I am not used to such bitter cold places in the Western Regions." Just now you said that, it really scared me. ”
"Although the Western Regions are bitterly cold, it is not difficult for people like us to put on the pomp of a prince in the desert." Ning Shaobi smiled lightly, "I can't live with you after all, Zhaojie." ”
This splendid and prosperous Chang'an is the place where he grew up, even if there is half of the Yue's blood in his blood, but Ning Shaobi is still the most orthodox Middle Earth edification in his bones. No matter how uninhibited he is, he will not be able to leave his homeland after all.
What's more, Daliang is rich and prosperous, what place in the world is compared with Chang'an, and it is not overshadowed? Even the Jiangnan that mentions it has a three-point smoke and water, revealing an indescribable charm and charm, as if it is hidden in the apricot 'flowers' and smoke and rain all year round, has also been reflected as a small family in front of Chang'an...... Growing up in such a majestic and vast imperial capital, as one of the most typical young people in Wuling, where can Ning Shaobi still look at the place next to him?
Not to mention that compared with Middle-earth, you can't get rid of the desolate and bitter cold Western Regions.
Accustomed to being a high-ranking Hou 'door' nobleman, entering and exiting the palace and seeing His Majesty is like a commonplace, for the position of the head of a Hu tribe...... Ning Shaobi was really lacking in interest.
After all, as soon as he went to the Western Regions according to Su Shina's suggestion, he would have pointed to the position of the head of the Yue Clan in his life. Regardless of whether it is the king of Yanchang or the king of Zhending who comes to power in the end, it is unlikely that he will be summoned back to Chang'an to entrust him with a heavy responsibility.
Even if he is summoned back to Chang'an...... After Ning Shaobi comes back, I am afraid that it will be difficult to restore the current scenery.
The most important thing is that the Marquis of Yongcheng has spent so many years of hard work for the king of Zhending County, and he gave up halfway, and even Zhuo Zhaojie was reluctant from the bottom of his heart.
So Ning Shaobi knew that the future was unpredictable, but he still had to gamble on it.
He was reluctant to retreat.
When I can still return.
Then you can only move forward, or from the dragon's work, the scenery is still the same; or traitors, thieves, and wives of disaster.
This is his choice - but it is equivalent to making a choice instead of Zhuo Zhaojie, and even the future sons and daughters of the two are also the same. He didn't even discuss such a choice with Zhuo Zhaojie, and made the decision. And he was not sure of winning at all.
If Zhuo Zhaojie wants to say that there is no mustard in his heart, it is impossible, but looking at Ning Shaobi's heavy look, he softened his heart in the end, and said with a light smile: "What is wrong with this?" Do you still want to marry me after the king of Zhending ascends the throne? ”
What Ning Shaobi wanted to say, Zhuo Zhaojie had already continued, "Besides, if you win, there is a way to be a husband and a wife, and it is difficult for you to give those brilliance to the 'daughter' next to you?" ”
She smiled slightly, "Since you have won, I will share your glory, and if you lose, what's unfair about me dying with you?" It's hard for me to be so confused that I think the world is all good, I take the risk, and you are alone? ”
Ning Shaobi was moved to say something, but Zhuo Zhaojie's face suddenly sank, and the hand that was 'rubbing' his eyebrows for him slipped and fell to his ear, holding his ear and shouting angrily: "But what do you mean by cutting first and then playing like this?!" Are you worried that I'm afraid of death, and I interrupt you on the spot after knowing that you have chosen this? also spoke nonsense with Su Shina...... What the hell do you mean?! Say! ”
"Nothing!" Ning Shaobi was caught off guard, snorted in pain, and said to him, "Good Zhaojie, where is it hiding from you?" It's not that I'm afraid of people inside and outside, and there are negligent places for people to listen to the wall! Can such a thing be said? That's why I used nonsense! I didn't tell you first - it's really tight, I came back as soon as I received the letter, didn't we talk about it in the middle of the morning yesterday? One thing after another...... Where do I have this opportunity? Didn't I tell you first even if I didn't sleep? ”
It's okay if he didn't say this, but as soon as he said it, Zhuo Zhaojie was reminded, and pinched his ear angrily: "In this way, you didn't come back in such a hurry to support me - you simply took what letter Su Shi handed you in private, right?" ”
She angrily asked, "What the hell is going on!" Hurry up and make it clear to me! ”
