Qin Feng, who was the commander of the Great Feng Praetorian Guard, returned to the Qin Mansion early in the morning and came to Qin Wanzun angrily.

At this time, Qin Wanzuka was sitting cross-legged on the soft couch, drinking and listening to music, very comfortable.

Looking at his father who was lying on the bed holding a delicate porcelain cup from the kiln and was still so leisurely, Qin Feng sighed helplessly, coughed, and the singers and musicians beside him saw that the general was coming, and they all saluted and left.

After a while, the whole room was left with Qin Wanzuka and Qin Feng's father and son, Qin Wanzuka drank all the wine in one gulp, looked up at his general's son, and said in a deep voice, "If you don't stay in the army, how can you remember to come back to see me, an old man." ”

Qin Feng snatched the wine glass from Qin Wanzuka's hand, glared and said, "Dad, you told me if you did it to General Ning's imprisonment." ”

Qin Wanzuka's eyes changed suddenly, and he frowned, "So what?" Isn't it? Why, if the old man says yes, do you still want to kill your relatives in righteousness? ”

Qin Feng's already gloomy expression became even more ugly, "Dad, I didn't tell you that the Ning family can't move, Ning He, Ning Feng, Ning Xiaochuan, the three of them are easy to mess with."

Now that Your Majesty is implementing a new policy, Ning Feng has been appointed as a messenger, the Ning family already has the appearance of a family, what will Your Majesty think about the Ning family at this time? What would the ministers think? What would Ning He, who had an army of 100,000 in his hands, think! ”

"Feng'er, I don't object to you wholeheartedly for the country, I don't interfere with the Qin family wholeheartedly, you also said that the Ning family is powerful, I just want to start when I see that the Ning family is so powerful, when Your Majesty is still the prince, our Qin family is more beautiful.

But since Ning Xiaochuan was born, you look at Your Majesty who looked at our Qin family right that time, now we don't start first, and when the Ning family becomes bigger, it will be too late to do it again. Qin Wanzuka slapped the table next to him and shouted.

Qin Feng on the battlefield was decisive and ruthless, but when he faced his father, he knew what it was to be truly unscrupulous.

"Okay, okay, you can make trouble, make trouble, when something happens, the whole family will have to bury you."

With that, Qin Feng shook his hand angrily and left.

Qin Wanzuka overturned the table at hand, "Wufu, Shaft!" ”

……

On the lively and noisy streets, there are many street vendors, snowflakes are falling, and the people of Yindu are beginning to buy New Year's goods for the upcoming Spring Festival, tea and silk in the south, wool in the north, dried meat and Shu embroidery in Sichuan and Shu.

With the stability of Miaojiang, this year's West Market also has Miaojiang's flower tea, which can be described as very lively, standing at the gate of the courtyard, looking at the snow of the old trees in front of Ning Zhi's brows.

Yin Zhang Xinkan of Yindu Mansion walked over briskly and bowed to Ning Zhi, "Old General Ning, it's cold outside, it's warm inside, go inside." ”

Ning Zhi shook his head and said with a long sigh, "If you go in, you won't be able to get out." ”

Zhang Xinkan smiled embarrassedly, "Old general, don't worry too much, I heard that Master Che of the Criminal Department has sent someone to investigate this matter thoroughly, and he will definitely give you justice." ”

Ning Zhi of the Three Dynasties Lao Chen snorted coldly, if it was so easy, he would have gone back a long time ago, "Justice is in the hearts of the people." ”

The snow was falling, and Zhang Benxi, who was ordered to come to Yindu to protect the mansion outside the capital, stood in the snow in the clothes of the criminal department official and refused to move for a long time.

Che Ming and the six Shangshu dragged on for half a month under the pressure of the people's discussions and the hundreds of officials below, and did not let the Yin Du Protectorate convict General Ning.

But they can afford to drag it, but the people can't afford it, and I don't know who stabbed out the matter of Liguo Gong's embezzlement of disaster relief funds, and then the people completely exploded, especially some people who fled from Jingzhou were even more furious, and they demanded that the government strictly deal with Ningzhi.

When Ning Zhi led the army to dominate the frontier, no people were grateful to him; However, when he cried out and went to prison, the people who listened to the wind and rain crucified him to the pillar of shame.

Zhang Benxi knew that this was not to blame the people, but that someone deliberately guided the people and tried to build momentum, the so-called public opinion cannot be violated, and someone was deliberately putting pressure on His Majesty, in order to punish Ning Zhi as soon as possible.

In Ning Zhi's case, the most critical evidence of three million silver has not yet been found, and if it drags on, there will be many dreams at night, and the Qin family definitely does not want to see this situation.

As early as possible, Che Ming and the others were about to break their heads, and they didn't let Gao Yuan take back their lives.

Gao Yuan, who made this decision, was also tormented in his heart, but as the Son of Heaven, if he hadn't been instructed by him, Ning Zhi would have been imprisoned a long time ago.

After Che Ming returned to the Criminal Department, he directly wrote his resignation, when General Lin of Shuzhou, he could not find evidence to prove General Lin's innocence, and now in Yindu, as the secretary of the Criminal Department, he could not find evidence to prove the innocence of General Ning, he was really aggrieved, and Che Ming, who wrote his resignation, cried loudly in the Criminal Department.

At the gate of the Yindu Protectorate, Zhang Benxi's body was covered with snow, and the Praetorian Guards behind him stood at the gate of the Mansion, when Yang Zhaoxi came out and saw Zhang Benxi, he also knew something in his heart, and arched his hand at Zhang Benxi, "Lord Zhang, do you have to do it today?" ”

"Lord Che has done his best, there are already people making trouble in the streets, this matter seems to be looking for General Ning, but behind this, it is putting pressure on Your Majesty, it is putting pressure on the new policy, if it is not handled well, this year's new policy may be in vain, and Your Majesty can't afford to delay it." Zhang Benxi shook his head and sighed.

Yang Zhaoyan also knew the benefits of the new deal, and after a while, surrounded by Zhang Xinkan and a group of government officials, Ning Zhi and his wife walked out slowly, and Zhang Xinkan stood behind Ning Zhi without saying a word.

The soldiers at the door saw this highly decorated veteran kneeling on one knee and shouted, "See General Ning." ”

Ning Zhi silently took the old lady's hand, while the old lady turned her head to look at a weak woman in the corner behind her, the little girl stood at the door with red eyes, holding the letter that the old lady asked him to hand over to the fifth young master.

The old lady smiled slightly, and then naturally took Ning Zhi's hand and walked forward.

Ning Zhi came to Zhang Benxi, Zhang Benxi bowed his head and arched his hand, unable to say a word.

Ning Zhi sighed and said, "Zhang Fuyin has told the old man, the old man doesn't blame you and Lord Che, nor does he blame Your Majesty, you have done your best for my old bones."

Don't complain about the people, what the people think about is just firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, they have suffered a disaster, they can't eat food, they left their hometowns and came to Yindu to survive, a little complaint is certain.

If you want to complain, you will complain about the hearts of the people in this world, for the people of the world, I would rather not be nothing, but you, you must grasp the pole in your heart, and don't let the people no longer have food to eat and leave their hometowns. ”

Before coming to Yindu, someone told Zhang Benxi that the officialdom of Yindu is dark, and one day even if you are eaten alive, you don't know why.

However, after coming to Yindu, I realized why Wen Zhe and Yu Gongming were able to become big officials, not because they were dark, but because of their integrity.

He Zhang Benxi is very lucky, and the people he meets are all good people; But he was unfortunate that it was too late to meet the good guys.

"Obey the old general's teachings......" Zhang Benxi bowed heavily to Ning.

Old Madam Ning supported the general who had been with her for half her life with red eyes, and sobbed, "Let's go, so many people are waiting." ”

Thinking of Mrs. Ning, who ran thousands of miles away from Suzhou to Yindu for him, Ning Zhi felt sorry for this lady who did not hesitate to give up the glory of her family for him, "Madam, I owe you too much in this life, if there is a next life, how about chasing you for me?" ”

Old Madam Ning was amused, snorted, wiped her eyes with tears and said, "Who wants you to chase?" Old and unserious. ”

Snow is falling on the horizon, the ground is white, and this winter is exceptionally cold.

On the third day of the lunar month, Liguo Gong Ning Zhi and his wife Huo Qianqi were imprisoned, and the world was shocked.

……

Perhaps because it was too cold, Gao Yuan always felt that this winter was extraordinarily long, and the young emperor wrapped in a cotton robe came to Yangxinzhai, and Han Zhongxuan behind him followed closely.

"Gonggong Han, Old General Ning is in prison, how can I give General Ning He and Ning Feng Shangshu an explanation, if something really happens to Old General Ning Zhi, then I can't take off the hat of cruelty to Zhongliang on my head." Gao Yuan shook his head and smiled bitterly.

As an emperor, he felt powerless for the first time, as the king of a country, he couldn't even protect a courtier, on the one hand, the condemnation of the people and the majesty of the royal family, and on the other hand, he knew that he had been wronged but still had to be imprisoned and suffered.

At this moment, Gao Yuan knew that the emperor was not good, and the competition within the court, above the government and the opposition was bloodless, and sometimes even if you were a ninety-five, you would feel powerless.

Han Zhongxuan lowered his head and was silent, he couldn't say it, although he knew that this would make Ning Zhi feel wronged and make Gao Yuan feel guilty, but he still couldn't say it.

He is a courtier of two dynasties, serving two generations of kings, and his grasp of the emperor's power is not under the kings of previous dynasties, if Gao Zhen is in power, he will say everything that the Zhongfu knows without scruples, because he knows what Gao Zhen wants.

But Gao Yuan is different, he is too benevolent, for the emperor, the benevolence of the house is good for the world, but it is not good for the royal inheritance.

Therefore, for more than 1,000 years, the Emperor of the Gao clan of Dafeng has ruled the country with iron and blood, creating the tradition of Dafeng Shangwu, even if there is a benevolent monarch, there are also powerful ministers like Cui Yi around him, helping to control the government and avoid the fall of power.

He, Han Zhongxuan, is a eunuch, and he doesn't care about the Ninety-Five Honor, even if he is well versed in the art of the emperor, what is the point of him sitting in that position even if he can't pass on the ancestry.

The current Son of Heaven is too young, I hope that after this incident, he can grow up a little, and at that time, even if he learns the truth and wants to behead himself for the crime of bullying the king, then he will be willing to be a stepping stone under His Majesty's feet.

But before that, he still has one last thing to do, and after doing this, even if he Han Zhongxuan goes to the Netherworld and sees the first emperor, he can have a clear conscience.
