The building boat paints the boat, the carved beams and the building, and the river bank of the Fuhe River at night is full of warblers singing and swallowing.

The literati stood on the riverside, pointing out the rivers and mountains to the beauties on the shore, and they all felt that they were so graceful and chic.

Women love talents, and this is also the case on the banks of the Fu River, even if those singers and beauties know their low status, they still have the heart to love talents.

Among them, the most famous is the story of Liu Shiyan, the first beauty on the bank of the Fu River during the Taijia period, and Wen Zhe, a student of Guozijian.

When Wen Zhe went to Yindu to study, he was admitted to the Guozijian student, and when he was cruising the Fu River by boat, he met Liu Shiyan by chance, and the two fell in love at first sight.

This Liu Shiyan is also a famous singer on the bank of the Fuhe River, all kinds of ritual and music instruments, all of which are incomprehensible, just like this, a talented man and a beautiful woman, and everyone is envious and emotional, an accident happened.

Wen Zhe was favored by the prime minister at that time, and after completing his studies, he directly served in Yindu, and the old prime minister even married his young daughter to Wen Zhe and recruited her as a son-in-law.

After learning all this, Liu Shiyan couldn't believe that Wen Gongzi would abandon her, so she used all her savings to redeem herself, and came to the door of Wen Zhe's mansion to ask for an explanation.

Even now, Wen Zheguan is still the secretary of the ministry, and he still can't get rid of this period of the past, and because of this, he is called the jade-faced Shangshu by the people behind his back.

Frowning lightly in the distant mountains, the night came, Ning Xiaochuan returned to the Wen Zhaomin flower boat on the bank of the Fuhe River, Wen Zhaomin saw Ning Xiaochuan's solemn expression, and he didn't dare to say much, bowed his head and said nothing.

Ning Xiaochuan came to the table, picked up the delicate wine jug, and with a slight tilt, the wine flowed into the glass.

"Yuquan Wen's family, a famous family in Zhongzhou, the ancestor Wen Ke was an official and a military secretary, and after Wen Ke, the children of the Wen family were keen on officialdom.

In the Renli period, it has the reputation of "one subject and three bachelors", but it is a pity that the heirs are not good, and the family is in the middle of the road.

It's a pity that this Wenzhe doesn't want to forge ahead, not only does he not want to restore the glory of his ancestors, but he is proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling.

After his wife died of illness, he fostered his young daughter in a relative's house, and this young girl ......," Ning Xiaochuan said unhurriedly.

Wen Zhaomin, who was next to him, was already short of breath, his hands clutched the corners of his clothes, his eyes were full of tears, he took a deep breath, and said, "It's my ......."

Ning Xiaochuan nodded and slowly got up, "I hope this is the last time you will lie to me." ”

Wen Zhaomin's tears flowed, and he knelt down with a thud, "Young Master Ning, you let me go, or you can kill me." ”

Ning Xiaochuan came to Wen Zhaomin, lifted her chin with his right hand, looked at the beautiful face, and the corners of his mouth curved.

"Get up, I won't kill you, and no one will threaten you from now on, you just need to do what I told you, and when the opportunity is right, I will let you go."

Wen Zhaomin raised his eyes and stared directly at Ning Xiaochuan, being stared at by such a beautiful woman, he would definitely not be able to grasp it if he was an ordinary man.

But Ning Xiaochuan was different, he sneered and turned to leave, not that he didn't feel anything about it, but that he knew that if he stayed for a second longer, he might not be able to help it.

……

As the great prince of the country, Ning Zhi can be said to have truly achieved Kuang Fu Sheji and served the country loyally.

At this time, in the Ning Mansion, Ning Zhi was staring at the four-character plaque in front of him with the words "Loyal to the Monarch and Serving the Country" in a daze, until Ning He walked in, and his thoughts were interrupted.

"Father, you're looking for me." Ning He was dressed in a plain robe, and the silver-armored general in peacetime was like two people, but Ning He at this moment was more like a scholar, gentle as jade, humble as the wind.

"He'er, my father came to you late at night for you, Feng'er, and Chuan'er." Ning Zhi slowly sat on the chair and said quietly.

Before coming, Ning He thought about coming this time, and he might have to talk about Ning Xiaochuan, everyone in Yin knew Ning Xiaochuan's arrogance, and everyone also knew the shortcomings of the Ning family's son-in-law and the second son.

A year ago, Ning Xiaochuan broke one of the legs of the son-in-law of the head of the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Labor's husband was heartbroken and said that he wanted Ning Xiaochuan to be imprisoned; Even regardless of Ning Zhili's identity as the Duke of Guo, he wanted to sue the emperor in front of His Majesty.

At this time, Ning He went to Beijing to report on his work, and after learning what happened, he directly took the three hundred soldiers who came back together to be fully armed, and surrounded the mansion of the Ministry of Industry for three days and three nights, so frightened that the Ministry of Industry did not dare to say a word.

In the end, it was not until Cheng Zhongxian opened his mouth that the matter passed, and from then on, no one dared to provoke Ning Xiaochuan in Yindu.

Ning He arched his hand slightly, "Dad, do you also think that Chuan'er is an arrogant and domineering person?" ”

Ning Zhi shook his head, "Dad believes in you and Feng'er, and he also believes in Chuan'er, but now what Chuan'er is doing is very likely to bring trouble to himself, as a father, Dad can't watch him become more and more dangerous." ”

"If that's the case, Dad, you can rest assured, with me and my second brother here, Chuan'er won't be in any danger." Ning He arched his hand and said.

"No, it's not that, it's another thing." Ning Zhi looked at Ning He fixedly, "Don't investigate the assassination in Shuozhou in the first place." ”

"Daddy......" Ning He frowned, the original Shuozhou assassination was not only a hurdle in Ning Xiaochuan's heart, but also a pain in his Ning He's heart.

In order to protect Ning Xiaochuan and his mother, his best brother fell in Shuozhou, and instead of dying in the fight with the Northern Barbarians, he died inexplicably in Shuozhou, which made Ning He unacceptable.

"I know that you two brothers and Chuan'er have been secretly investigating this matter, and my father wants to tell you, don't investigate any further, let's stop here." Ning Zhi said helplessly.

"Dad, why don't you check? If you don't check, is it worthy of my mother? Is it worthy of the more than 100 brothers who died? ”

Ning He was puzzled, he felt that his father had changed, no longer as enthusiastic and brave as he was back then, but had become timid, afraid of wolves and tigers.

The Shuozhou assassination case, don't investigate it! Ignore the destruction of a single family!

"He'er, you have to believe Dad, and when the time is right, Dad'll tell you the reason." Ning Zhi looked at Ning He and said solemnly.

Ning He shook his head and arched his hand: "I'm sorry, Dad, I can't promise you this, the child swore that he must investigate this matter thoroughly." ”

Looking at Ning He's resolute expression, Ning Zhi was both happy and worried, happy that Ning He was becoming more and more like himself back then, and worried about Ning He becoming more and more like himself back then.

"Reckless?"

"Reckless!"

Ning Zhi nodded and waved his hand, "You go down first, I want to be alone for my father." ”

Ning He bowed his hand and retreated, Ning Zhi sighed helplessly, looked at the plaque in front of him again, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly.

He would rather be loyal to the monarch all his life and sit in the position of the Duke of Li, but who knows that since he sat in the position of the Duke of Liguo, he has been trembling and frightened every day.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, this sentence is true.

After Ning He left, Ning Zhi took a jar of wine alone and walked to the backyard of Ning Mansion, where the war horses of the Ning family were raised, and there was an old horse that had followed Ning Zhi for 20 years was leisurely grazing in the stable at the moment, and after seeing Ning Zhi coming, he couldn't help but cry happily, this horse is named Huang Ye.

Ning Zhi walked over with a smile and touched the old man, his mane was no longer as soft as it was back then, and his skin was no longer tight.

He couldn't even ride it across the battlefield anymore, Ning Zhi looked at Huang Ye's right front hoof through the moonlight, where there was obviously a scar.

……

In the seventeenth year of Taijia, Ning Zhi sent troops to the Northern Barbarians, encountered a heavy snowstorm and was trapped in a snow quagmire.

Seeing that he was about to be caught up by the Northern Barbarian soldiers, Huang Ye screamed loudly, jumped up, jumped thirty feet, and took him to escape from the quagmire.

When Ning Zhi returned to the camp safely, Huang Ye collapsed, and his right front hoof had been cut with a deep wound that could be seen to the bone.

The horse broke its hooves, and it was ironclad that he could no longer go to the battlefield, Ning Zhi looked at Huang Ye who fell to the ground with tears in his eyes, and couldn't help but feel heartache, so he took this limping old guy back to Ning Mansion.

"General Ning, but you're troubled again?" In the tiled house next to the stable, a man with a broken arm held an oil lamp and stood at the door looking at Ning Zhi.

Ning Zhi smiled lightly, walked over slowly, and walked straight to the house.

He didn't dislike the mess inside, and by the light of the lamp, he put the wine on the table, sat directly on the bed, leaned on a pile of dirty quilts, and sighed: "What do you say I should do?" ”

The man with the broken arm took out a plate of sauced beef and two porcelain bowls from the cabinet behind him, put them on the table, sat down, poured the wine into the bowl, and smiled lightly, "General, is it for the fifth young master's business?" ”

"Yes, not all, these boys are not worry-free." Ning Zhi said helplessly.

"Hahaha." The man with the broken arm smiled after hearing this, "The five sons and four sons of the Ning family were all talented at that time, tsk, the general is not satisfied." ”

"Hmph, do you think the one up there will be happy when he hears that?"

"That's why there is the Fifth Young Master." The man said slowly.

When Ning Zhi heard this, he instantly sat up straight and looked at the man with the broken arm, "What did you say?" ”

"General, if it weren't for the Fifth Young Master breaking the arm of the prince of Jingbei on the street, the eldest son would now be in the position of the fourth general.

Have you ever thought that if you really sit on the official position of Zheng Sipin, plus the second son's servant, and the in-law relationship with Prime Minister Guan, will Your Majesty still rest assured of you? ”

"But the old man's military power has been handed over." Ning Zhi got up and said.

"Don't forget, Xiang Zhoujun is still surnamed Ning!" The man with the broken arm said while eating, and turned to look at Ning Zhi, "The tiger has no claws and teeth, and will be bullied; Dragons without scales will be humiliated. ”

Ning Zhi frowned, and arched his hand at the man, "Thank you, Mr. for your doubts." ”

The man with the broken arm said absentmindedly, "The general doesn't have to be like this, what I said is just for this jar of wine." ”

"You've drunk my Ningfu wine for twenty years, don't you want to go out and have a look?" Ning Zhi said suddenly.

The man slowly stopped his chopsticks, wiped his greasy lips, and looked at Huang Ye outside the door by the faint light: "Lame old horse, don't go to the field again." ”

Ning Zhi nodded slightly, got up and left.

The man continued to drink wine and eat meat, and after he was full of wine and food, he lay on the bed with his belly open, picked his teeth with his hands, and slowly spoke: "Full of wine and food, fast and fast......"
