As early as when Zhu Di was still the king of Yan and Zhu Quan was still the king of Ning, there was a saying inside and outside the court: King Yan is good at fighting, and King Ning is good at strategy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but King Ning of the Battle of Jingyan was deceived by Zhu Di, not only was he incorporated Duoyan Sanwei, the most elite army of the Ming Dynasty, but also was sent to Nanchang to garrison after Zhu Di ascended the throne, but King Ning's talent and learning were widely admired by people, especially the people in the mountains and lakes and ordinary people.

The two subordinates sent by King Ning this time, the tall one is called Xian Bichen, and the slightly shorter one is called Zuo Dongxi, both of whom are capable cadres under King Ning, which also shows the sincerity of King Ning's proposal this time.

At that moment, after Xian Bichen said the word "propose", Liu Rong couldn't help but be shocked, even Zhong Wanhou on the side didn't think that how could there be such a coincidence in the world, Zhu Gaoxu's envoy just came to propose, and the envoy of Ning Wang Zhu Quan's proposing proposer arrived, it seems that this is the Zhong family.

Zhong Wanhou, who saw it, was noncommittal after hearing this, Xian Bichen continued: "Zhu Panyan, the son of King Ning, is nineteen years old, he is a young hero, Wen Tao is a martial artist, all of them are refined, and King Ning himself is also very proficient in the hundred schools of thought, astrology, medical hexagrams, and Huang Lao's arts, and his son can be imagined. ”

Liu Rong couldn't hold back at this time and said: "It's ridiculous! No matter how powerful King Ning is, can he be as powerful as the Holy One today? No matter how virtuous King Ning's son is, can he have the virtuous virtue of His Royal Highness the Holy One?"

Xian Bichen and Zuo Dongxi glanced at each other, and then asked, "Kind of hero, I don't know who this is?"

Zhong Wanhou smiled slightly and said: "I forgot to introduce the two of you, this Lord Liu Rong Liu is a close confidant of His Royal Highness Zhu Gaoxu, and this time I came to the Zhong Mansion to propose marriage." ”

Xian Bichen and Zuo Dongxi were shocked when they heard this, and they didn't expect Zhu Gaoxu's people to be one step faster than themselves, and they saw that things were not as easy to do as they imagined.

Zhong Wanhou took a puff of his pipe and said slowly: "How can the dog girl be so virtuous, dare to work so favorably with His Royal Highness and King Ning, it really makes Zhong Moucheng frightened, thinking that although Zhong Mou is a businessman, but in the final analysis, he is still a man in the rivers and lakes, vulgar and unbearable, and the daughter who taught her is the same, she has a stubborn temperament, it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, and now she is wrongly loved, and she really dare not accept it." ”

Zuo Dongxi said secretly in his heart after hearing this: "Zhong Wanhou said this, he must have asked us to make conditions first, and he wanted to compare the two sides before making a decision, he really didn't change his true character as a businessman, he was so cunning, if he was a stranger, he would have been eager to agree to it when he saw the royal family so favored!"

Thinking of this, Zuo Dongxi arched his hand and smiled: "Zhong Daxia, but please rest assured, although King Ning has suffered a small setback now, with King Ning's intelligence and deep affection for his compatriots who are today's Emperor Chengzu, sooner or later he will make a comeback." Moreover, unlike some people's perverse and violent temperament, His Royal Highness King Ning treats people with sincerity and kindness, and now he is obsessed with Taoism, and he has a gentle and simple temperament. ”

Liu Rong heard Zuo Dongxi's words sneering at Zhu Gaoxu, and couldn't help but get up and drink: "Good slave, you have the ability to name names, don't scold Huai with my father-in-law here!"

Xian Bichen ignored Li Rong, but continued with Zuo Dongxi's words: "Yes, King Ning has already explained clearly when he came, King Ning has three sons, but in the future, the eldest son Zhu Panyan will definitely inherit the title of King Ning, and at that time, Ling Qianjin will be Mrs. Ning Wang, and the heir born will naturally be named King Ning. ”

Liu Rong knew that the other party's words were an insinuation that Zhu Gaoxu might not be able to become the emperor, so he sneered: "Is this Lord Xian too optimistic? What is King Ning? It is the title canonized by the Son of Heaven, whether he can be the king or not is a matter of the Son of Heaven's words, and he is hereditary King Ning, who made the promise to you? Who gave you the guarantee?"

Xian Bichen ignored Liu Rong, but continued to say to Zhong Wanhou: "Not only that, as long as Ling Qianjin marries into King Ning's mansion, King Ning will draw the land and rule, hand over half of the land of the fief to Zhong Daxia to manage, and hand over half of the army to you to control. ”

"Okay, the army of the Ming Dynasty, the land of the Ming Dynasty, how can you give it to outsiders?" Liu Rong scolded angrily on the side.

"A good army of the Ming Dynasty, the land of the Ming Dynasty, wasn't it also robbed by your master?" Xian Bichen said-for-tat.

"Okay, you dare to say that Emperor Chengzu's throne was snatched, you are guilty of great disrespect, wait for me to return to the court, and I will see that you and King Ning will be punished together!" Liu Rong seemed to have grasped the handle and said very excitedly.

"Okay, as long as Lord Liu can get out of Chang'an City!" Xian Bichen has already made a killing move.

When Liu Rong heard this, he was immediately frightened, and at this time, he only heard Zhong Wanhou cough a few times, and said slowly: "Why do you want to fight here, but ......"

Before Zhong Wanhou could finish speaking, he heard a sound of footsteps outside, accompanied by a panicked voice.

"Old ...... Oh no, sir!" a servant stumbled in.

In fact, Zhong Wanhou is only about to be forty years old, not old at all, but since his father passed away, the servants of the family have changed their words to call him master, and he never cares when he arrives, this time seeing the family in such a hurry, completely ignoring the presence of guests here, he can't help but ask with some displeasure: "What is so flustered? Could it be that there is trouble in the young lady's place again?"

He knows Zhong Qing's temper, but if he doesn't follow her wishes, he will definitely turn you upside down.

The servant looked at Liu Rong, Xian Bichen and Zuo Dongxi on both sides, and didn't know whether to say it or not for a while.

"What a bastard, what is the reason for panicking in and not speaking?" Zhong Wanhou is a very smart person, seeing the appearance of the family like this, he knew that Zhong Qing might be making some mess over there, although he said this, he still rushed to the front of the family and whispered to ask for details.

"What did the girl do?" Zhong Wanhou asked in a low voice.

When the servant saw Zhong Wanhou coming, this time he lowered his voice and said, "Miss...... Miss, she refused to eat just now, and we persuaded her several times but she didn't listen, and just now I don't know how to annoy her again, and I want to ......"

"What do you want? Don't swallow and spit out!" Zhong Wanhou was also a little anxious.

"Cut out of the house!" said the servant, in a trembling voice.

"Okay! This is going to be a rebellion!" Zhong Wanhou didn't listen, and when he heard it, he couldn't help but bump into the fire, and immediately turned to the three of them and said, "The three of you are here for a while, and Zhong will come when you go!"

Without waiting for the three of them to answer, Zhong Wanhou took off his clothes and walked towards Zhong Qing's courtyard, flashing Liu Rong, Xian Bichen and Zuo Dongxi looking at each other, not knowing what was happening.

Liu Rong was afraid that Zhong Wanhou would not be here, and the two people on the other side would harm his own life with malicious intentions, so he shouted loudly: "Is there anyone!"

After a while, a family member came, bowed down and said, "What do you want Master Liu to order?"

"Tea ...... The tea is cold, go and change some hot ones for us. Liu Rong said as he peeked at Xian Bichen and Zuo Dongxi opposite.

After the servant changed the hot tea, Liu Rong hurriedly said, "You can serve here for a while, and wait for your master to come back before leaving!"

It turned out that Liu Rong was afraid that the two would harm him, so he wanted to find a witness here to protect himself. Xian Bichen and Zuo Dongxi looked at Liu Rong, sneered disdainfully, talked to themselves, and no longer paid attention to him.

Here Zhong Wanhou had already hurried to Zhong Qing's courtyard, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard the noise inside and panicked, only to see six or seven servants scratching their hands in the courtyard, but they were all helpless, and then saw that Zhong Qing's door was closed, obviously no one wanted to enter.

"Get out of the way!" Zhong Wanhou shouted.

When everyone saw the master coming, they were all surprised and delighted, and hurriedly stood on both sides. Although Zhong Qing has a young lady's temper on weekdays, she is just a little willful, but she treats her subordinates as if she were her own and takes great care of them, so this time Zhong Qing's encounter, none of the servants in the house are watching the excitement, they are all worried and sympathetic.

Zhong Wanhou didn't knock on the door, and went straight over and kicked the door open, but saw Zhong Qing sitting in the corner of the wing room with scissors, looking at himself with tears in his eyes, and there were some scattered green silk on the ground.

"Girl, you are so bold, do you no longer have your father in your heart?" Zhong Wanhou asked.

"Then I have to ask if you still have my daughter in your heart!" Zhong Qing replied-for-tat.

"I really don't know what to do, it's all my fault for spoiling you all these years, do you know who the people who come to propose marriage now? Those are all places where girls in the world dream of marrying, Dad worries about your labor, you don't thank you, how can you be so nonsense! Hurry up and put down the scissors for me!" Zhong Wanhou said in a commanding tone.

"Dad, it's good that our family is a businessman, but my daughter is not my father's commodity, and you can't be allowed to use it for trading, Zhong Qing has grown up and has her own ideas and choices, please don't force each other, okay?" Zhong Qing said righteously.

"You still miss that kid in your heart, don't you? Dad can tell you clearly now that you still have this heart! A prodigal son who has no family background to speak of, how could I, Zhong Wanhou, marry my precious daughter to him!" Zhong Wanhou said categorically, as if there was no room for negotiation in his words.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a servant come forward and say, "Report to the master, there are two guests outside the door who ask to see you." ”

"Who?" Zhong Wanhou asked impatiently, wondering why someone had come again at this juncture.

"It's two teenagers, a man and a woman, and the man calls himself Ye Cheng. The servant replied.

"Brother Ye! It's Brother Ye who is here, I knew he was going to come looking for me!" Zhong Qing listened to it and jumped up happily.

Zhong Wanhou was also taken aback, glared at Zhong Qing, and said loudly to the servant: "Wait for me to go and blast them away!" Without waiting for the servant to answer, he went straight to the door.

Here, Zhong Qing hurriedly got up and walked out of the room, handed the scissors to a female servant who was forty or fifty years old, and said with a smile: "Thank you Mama Wu for the scissors and hair." ”
