Chapter 008: Nobles Help Each Other to Settle Grievances, Mother's Illness, Father and Son Turn Against Each Other Again

It takes years to build absolute trust between people.

And trust collapse is often only instantaneous.

Once the suspicion arises, it sows the seeds of evil in the hearts of the people.

With the right chance, this seed will grow indefinitely.

If it is said that the opposition to the little emperor's pro-government made the uncle and nephew have a disagreement.

The death of the Empress Dowager is the bottom fertilizer, and the rebellion of King Ning is the top dressing.

Prince Zheng didn't want to care about Zhong Ning's affairs, more things are better than less.

After all, now the emperor has developed suspicions and suspicions.

The best way for Prince Zheng to deal with it is to be a man with his tail between his legs.

But hearing that King Ning was convicted of rebellion, Prince Zheng had a feeling of sadness that the rabbit had died and the fox had died.

This is the motivation to listen to Zhong Ning continue.

"Submit the paper, this king wants to see, how does this little emperor deal with the rebels?" Prince Zheng took out a pair of glasses from his water sleeve and stood up.

"Lord Wang, let's read it to you, your eyes are not good!" Seeing this, the general hurriedly said.

"It's better for this king to look at it himself, I'm afraid that the words you know are not enough to fill a basket!" Zheng Wangye took the paper and said with a smile.

"Lord Wang, the grass people have read the book for a few years, this is the form paper written by the grass people themselves, the grass people will make a long story short!" Zhong Ning broke free from the soldiers' obstruction and kowtowed.

After listening to Zhong Ning's generous statement, Prince Zheng roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter.

This master and sage read the book of sages in vain, and he was so bold and arrogant, framing Zhongliang and insulting the nobles of the official family!

Zheng Wangye made his own preliminary judgment.

But based on just one side, Zheng Wangye did not immediately say his conclusion. That's too hasty.

Hearing is false, seeing is believing.

This matter still needs to be confronted by both parties to know whether it is true or false.

If what this little brother said is true, then I can be regarded as recovering a lot of losses for the country.

The front-line soldiers fought bloodily, and the military budget was also open-sourced, and the little emperor would not force me too much.

Thinking of this, Prince Zheng took out the token and said: "General Wang, this king ordered you to take a team of people and horses to Chongyang County to investigate the case, if what this little brother said is true, you will catch this Zhang Shixian to see this king!" If you resist, you can't kill! ”

Prince Zheng actually has another meaning, but he feels that if it is not true, Zhong Ning's life will be difficult to protect.

After Wang Shen set off, Prince Zheng flew a pigeon and passed a letter.

The purpose of this letter is twofold: one is to verify the situation with the Jinyi Wei Qianhu Wang Tan who has been pulled up by his own hand; The second is to hire the remaining Qianlong Wei lurking in Chongyang to help.

Why not a direct order? Are you kidding?

If Prince Zheng directly ordered, any Qianlongwei would be dissatisfied with the water and tell the emperor about it, it would be enough for Prince Zheng to drink a pot.

Fortunately, no one will give money to get by, so it is the safest to hire a large amount of money.

The so-called hidden dragon guard is the brocade guard lurking in the people.

But they usually don't receive the court's money.

It is only when the imperial court has a task to recruit that it has activity funds and work subsidies.

It can be understood that this is a temporary worker in the Jinyi Guardian world.

Jinyi Wei 1,000 households and above can be hereditary.

In Daming, if the Qianlong Guard has saved enough money.

You can also spend money to donate a brocade cloth to hundreds of households.

100 households is the highest position that Jinyiwei can donate, and more than 1,000 households will depend on promotion and the emperor's reward.

If you work harder and mix with thousands of households, the title can be hereditary and replaced, and the descendants of Fuyin will be blessed.

In the Ming Dynasty, some Qianlong guards were hunters, and some Qianlong guards were even farmers.

Although they are strong in martial arts, they may also live in poverty.

So don't talk to them about loyalty and patriotism, but talk about whoever gives money will give his life.

With the blessing of the regular army and the full cooperation of the local Jinyi Guard, the truth was quickly ascertained.

Prince Zheng played the emperor.

The emperor acted resolutely, rewarded and punished clearly, issued an edict overnight, and dealt with a group of corrupt officials.

The main offender, Chongyang County Zhang, deceived the monarch and sentenced Ling Chi to death, and the nine clans were connected, the family property was confiscated, the son was a slave, and the daughter was a prostitute.

As an accomplice, the county was executed and his family property was confiscated.

The tax bureau sponsored corruption and bending the law, raiding homes, exiled to the army, and never hired children and grandchildren in the imperial examination.

As for Huang County, the order actively cooperated with the recovery of stolen goods, and took the initiative to return the illegal gains of embezzlement.

When the emperor was employing people in the imperial court, he still leveled Qi County as a county order.

The Marquis of Zhennan restored his title and was crowned Marquis of Zhongyong.

Zhu Qimeng, the daughter of the Marquis of Zhennan, restored her status as the daughter of the official family and was crowned the lord of Zhongxiao County.

Although the reward didn't have anything to do with Zhong Ning, he was still very happy.

Because her sweetheart Zhu Qimeng has restored her identity as an official lady, she no longer has to hide, and she can still have no worries about food and clothing.

As long as the people you love are doing better than you, then you have no regrets.

Zhu Qimeng hoped that Zhong Ning would come to Pengcheng with her.

If Zhong Ning is willing, she is willing to marry.

Zhong Ning shook his head: "Then I won't be a son-in-law, I won't do it!" I don't think I'll be happy if I do that, and you don't want you to be unproductive, right? ”

Zhu Qimeng nodded.

The next day, Zhu Qimeng returned to the fiefdom of Pengcheng under the escort of General Wang.

Zhong Ning was ready to take Prince Zheng's horse-drawn carriage and travel around the world.

Unexpectedly, when he was about to leave on the third day, Qin Fuan, the shopkeeper of Zhong Aiyaxing, held a letter from home in a panic.

"Your mother is critically ill, please go home quickly!" It's just eight characters, and the words pierce the heart.

Zhong Ning clutched the family letter and sat down on the ground.

He recognized this handwriting, thin gold body, this is the handwriting of his father Zhong Yue.

Zhong Ning hated to fly back to Wuchang Mansion immediately, so he rode a fast horse overnight and rushed home day and night.

I don't know how much time I have ridden, I don't know how many post stations I have changed.

Zhong Ning finally rushed back to Wuchang at dusk.

At this time, the mother Xu snorted softly on the bed in pain.

Every breath Xu took seemed to use all his strength.

"I ...... Peaceful...... Child...... Return...... ......" Xu saw Zhong Ning holding on to one word at a time, and muttered in a low voice.

Xu's voice is very weak, and as long as you are a little away, you can only see the squirming of the lips, which feels like a pantomime performance.

"It's fine when you go out, why is this like this?" Zhong Ning looked around.

I saw Sister Liu'er, who took care of the Xu family, hiding her face and crying: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, if only I wasn't shy that day and stayed with my mother." ”

"Don't cry, what kind of illness does my mother have?" Zhong Ning grabbed Sister Liu'er's hands and asked.

"Young Master Ning, Doctor Shen said that it was the upper hand of the house, that is, he suffered a stroke caused by the cold while serving the master." The teary-eyed Sister Liu Er looked around and made sure that there was no one, so she whispered in Zhong Ning's ear.

"What? Is that old thing to blame again? When Zhong Ning heard that it was such a disease, it was actually his father's sin.

The father-son relationship, which had just eased, fell to the freezing point again.

Zhong Ning didn't even want to call the old man at the moment, and directly called it an old thing.
