Looking at the snow outside the window, Ning Zhi's eyes were slightly red, and he carefully recalled the current court, along the way, he really walked and scattered, and he was the only one left who was still in Yindu with the five major princes.

He has fought all his life and doesn't have many friends, except for those four old guys, Guan Zhongxian is a friend.

Guan Zhongxian is a character who has achieved the extreme of scheming and calculation, and in the hands of such a rigid emperor as Gao Zhen, he kept their Ning family and Dafeng Jiangshan.

He knew that Guan Zhongxian was not the prime minister for himself, nor for the Son of Heaven, but for the people.

For Guan Zhongxian, he admires.

sighed softly, and the figure of Wen Zhe appeared in his mind again, from the jade-faced Shangshu to the jade-faced prime minister, he can be regarded as a strange person, if Guan Zhongxian is scheming and calculating, then Wen Zhe is iron-blooded and courageous.

He cleaned up the countercurrent in the court with vigorous and resolute iron blood, of course, this is also the source of his trouble, and he also admires Wen Zhe a little......

One familiar figure after another flashed in his mind, the old general who had been fighting horses all his life suddenly coughed and gagged, and the old lady next to him hurriedly came up and patted his back gently, and the blood gushing to his throat was swallowed by him.

The dazed old general sighed softly, wrapped his robe, came to the outside of the prison, and said to the jailer at the door, "I want to walk around the courtyard." ”

The jailer at the door nodded, and to this old general, they were forbidden to speak in advance, no matter what the request, they tried their best to meet it.

The jailer opened the door gently, and the old lady helped the old general to walk on the soft snow, and the jailer followed closely behind him, after all, the prison guard also had rules.

Ning Zhi came to the pavilion at the gate of the prison and spit out a mouthful of thick turbid gas mixed with the smell of blood, and then sat on the stone bench, the old lady beside him burst into tears.

Ning Zhi casually lifted the Dafeng Dian Law placed on the pavilion, and the owner of the pavilion stood on the high platform, looking at the old general in front of him from afar.

Ning Zhi looked at the book a few times and put it down, stood up with difficulty on his legs, and then his face flushed, looking at the cage-like prison around him, and sighed, "This is my final ending." ”

A jailer quickly came to the door of Zheng Chongguan's room, and was interrupted by Zheng Chongguan just as he wanted to speak, only to see Zheng Chongguan frowning and saying, "What is the old general doing?" ”

Ning Zhi didn't do anything, just stood quietly, how could the old lady beside her not know what this husband she had been with all her life was going to do, for them, this was not an imaginary ending, but it was a lifetime of relief.

Ning Zhi looked up at Zheng Chongguan, Zheng Chongguan who was through the window was shocked in his heart after seeing Ning Zhi's mouth shape, and then rushed out directly, shouting, "Old general, don't ......"

Ning Zhi looked at Zheng Chongguan, standing solemnly in the pavilion, with a smile in the corner of his eyes, a sweet throat, and a mouthful of reverse blood spurted out instantly.

Blood sprayed on the snow, red and dazzling, the old lady kept patting Ning Zhi's back, tears flowing, but she couldn't say a word.

Zheng Chongguan was shocked, and quickly ran to the courtyard pavilion, stunned in place, shook his head and said, "Self-severing tendons, old general, why are you doing this, I haven't given up yet, Lord Che hasn't given up, and the adults of the six departments haven't given up, as long as you find the lost silver, it can prove that you are wronged." ”

Ning Zhi smiled lightly, squinted his eyes, looked at the sky, and ignored Zheng Chongguan's words, and said slowly to himself, "At the beginning, many people persuaded me to establish myself as a king, but I didn't promise them, this answer chilled the hearts of many soldiers, causing many generals to unload their armor and return to the field.

There are even people who call me a coward and turn against me, and they also make me not at the peak of the Ning family's army, Lord Zheng, do you know why I did this. ”

Zheng Chongguan shook his head and said, "I...... I don't know, if you stand on your own in Xiangzhou, with the strength of Dafeng at that time, you can't stop it. ”

"I'd rather not believe in anything in this life, I believe in a loyalty, what is the purpose of fighting on the battlefield, isn't it just to protect the family and defend the country, so that the people of the world can live a good life?

At that time, everyone advised me to set myself up as a king, but if I set myself up as a king, then the people of the world would not be plunged into war again, you are a king or a general, and the people do not care, they only care about who will feed them and let them live a good life.

They chose to become the people of Dafeng because they felt that they had hope and hope for their lives in this land, so why should I rather cut off this hope and cut them off this hope?

Now, since the people feel that they have to exchange my death for a better life for them, I would rather die and end up in history to be famous and glorify my ancestors, which can be regarded as a life in vain. Ning Zhi laughed as he spoke, and tears flowed while laughing.

In the end, it is an old general, even if he dies, he doesn't want to be named a corrupt, how can such a brave and loyal old general be the one who is greedy for yellow and white.

A sharp pain came from his chest, and Ning Zhiqiang endured the severe pain and sat on the chair, his back straight, and his eyes looked into the distance.

"I miss the boss, the boss is honest, like when I was young, I can rest assured that Xiang Zhoujun was handed over to him, the second child is shrewd, he does not suffer losses in the court, and he married a good daughter-in-law like the boss, but I am a little afraid that if I am not there, someone will be unfavorable to the second child.

But with the boss here, I think I can protect his younger brothers, in the final analysis, I can't live with the third child, and I don't fulfill him and Ying'er, in fact, I am also to blame, if I am a capable father, I will not let my son be wronged.

Fourth...... Hey, the fourth child is too much like you, and I haven't said to go home to see it for many years, now it's okay, I'm afraid I won't see this stupid boy in the end, Chuan'er, I'm most worried about him, too caring for his family......"

Old Madam Ning was still afraid of hitting the old general's back, and choked up, "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and their achievements in the future are great, don't worry about your old bones, it's just that the family didn't have a reunion dinner before leaving, and it's a little regrettable." ”

Angina, Ning Zhi doesn't have much time left, "Am I going to see those old brothers." ”

Old Madam Ning had already cried into tears, and Zheng Chongguan on the side slowly knelt on one knee, and bowed his hand to the pavilion with a gloomy face.

Behind him, all the jailers knelt on one knee, cranes flew in the air, maple leaves fell to the ground, and the chanting of a childish child sounded in his ears, and a smile appeared on General Ning's face full of vicissitudes.

Da Fengli Guogong didn't wait for Ning Xiaochuan to come back, and fell into the snow in the first year of Yongxi.

Mrs. Ning knelt on the ground, took the man with her eyes closed into her arms, and carefully protected her sweetheart.

"I said, I won't let you go alone, I'm with you on the Huangquan Road, even if it's Meng Po soup, I want to drink it with you." Old Madam Ning said with her eyes closed.

The old lady's vision gradually blurred, tears rolled down the corners of her eyes, and the old woman at this moment appeared her life like a marquee in front of her eyes.

From childhood to adulthood, from a little girl to a big girl, to a first-time mother, to Shuozhou in distress, and finally to the present, the scene is so clear.

"Mother......

The five boys got into trouble again, and went to block the chimney in the kitchen next door, stood on the eaves and shouted to themselves, looking at the black stinky boy under his nose, Huo Qian smiled.

"Mother, the fourth brother snatched my book again......"

"I'm not happy to grab the broken book, don't try to wronged me, I just saw Xiaochuan go to your room, why don't you look for him."

"You still want to deny it, mother, look at him."

……

"Mother, Xiaochuan went out to fight again, and beat the son of Boss Huang in Dongshi, and knocked out his front teeth, you go and take a look."

"Mother, don't go, let me go, it's my problem that the eldest brother didn't take care of his younger brother."

"Big brother, I'll go with you."

……

"Mother, I understand what my father means, Xiangzhou Army can't be left without an owner for a day, so many pairs of eyes are staring at the court, Yiguo Gong has already had an accident, we can't have another accident, this Xiangzhou, I must go."

"Mother, the child is not filial, please don't blame it."

"Mother, even if I don't return to this house, I will marry Ying'er."

……

"Mother, when I come back, our family will go to Xiangzhou."

……

"Poof."

Blood oozed from the corners of her mouth, the old lady leaned on Ning Zhi's body and fell asleep, she never woke up from this sleep, her head leaned heavily against the general, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, at the last moment of her life, their family was reunited.

If you fall asleep this night, you will no longer wake up, people live for a lifetime, life is a big event, and death is also a big event, but there are always people who look at life and death very small, so small that they are not as good as the wild geese in the sky and the flowers on the ground.

Zheng Chongguan looked at the old couple in front of him with red eyes, and kowtowed three times.

People are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than the feathers, Zheng Chongguan doesn't know whether the old general Ning and his wife chose to be the weight of Mount Tai or the lightness of the feathers.

But what is certain is that in General Ning's heart, life and dignity are far superior to the former.

In this era when everyone is greedy for life, it is difficult to seek death.

……

The heavy snow fell again, and in the purple palace of the palace, the old eunuch's face changed slightly after hearing the words of his subordinates again, and the young boy next to him seemed to see the change in the old eunuch's face, timidly brought a cup of hot tea, and it was steaming.

The old eunuch took the teacup, gently stroked the little eunuch's hair, revealing a rare kindness, looking at the reflection in the cup, Han Zhongxuan muttered, "Now I have become a courtier who has never been easy to see." ”

The young boy did not know what the old eunuch meant, but in his heart the chief was a good man no matter what, the good man in his definition.

After Zheng Changsheng left, Han Zhongxuan instantly sat down on the ground, leaned on the rockery, and looked at himself in the lake.

He took out a note with people's names written on it from his waist bag, reached out and covered the three names, and put the note of the original seven names now only the last three names into his hand.

In the end, as if he had made up his mind, he got up and held his head high and walked towards the Purple Gold Palace......
