Chapter 247: The Guardian of the Royal Family of the Past
"Jiang family, but there is no younger generation in the Jiang family, and the youngest son of Jiang Tong, who has just been promoted, is in his fifties. Shaodian Dan was entangled when he heard it.
"Originally, the most suitable ** in this world to resolve Luan'er is the 'Qi Becoming a Dragon Technique', but after I got out of the customs, I heard that the last protector was forced to death by your cronies, and even if the Ding family has a male lineage, I am afraid that he will not marry your daughter as a wife. Shao Dianhuan's words made Shao Diandan see a glimmer of hope.
"The Ding family is a water system? This thing is really not easy to do, but Luan'er is only eleven this year, and it has been nearly ten years since she was promoted, and I still have time to help her solve the problem. ”
"The ** of the Ding family is a pair with ours, this involves the secrets of the ancestors, I can only tell my successor. Here I can only remind you that 'the Shaodian country cannot be without the Ding family, but the one who dies the Shaodian must be Ding', you need to be cautious in dealing with the Ding family. Shao Dianhuan hesitated to tell the truth, but because of the ancestors' legacy, he finally held back.
"What?' Shaodian Kingdom can't be without the Ding family, but the one who dies Shaodian must be Ding'? "Getting this reminder, Shaodian Dan is messy.
"Hmph, your father didn't even leave the edict of succession, what can he tell you? I'm not afraid to tell you honestly, according to your father's will, it should be your eldest brother who succeeded to the throne, and your father didn't stop the Ding family from assisting your eldest brother, this is an obvious signal.
However, I want to see how capable my eldest brother's children and grandchildren are to deliberately pit your two brothers against each other. Otherwise, with me in the palace, I won't be able to sustain your father's life for a few days? At this time, Shaodianhuan's face was expressionless.
Shaodian Dan looked at his uncle with palpitations, if he made a move back then, he would not be much different from Shao Dianji's fate, not to mention that he couldn't even save his life if he took the throne.
"The Ding family has been passed down for several generations, and there are only two fathers and sons left in the lineage, if the younger one has no heirs in the future, it is the Heavenly Ding family, and it has nothing to do with me, how can I deal with it?"
"This is your business, I only know that in the past, when the Ding family was prosperous, the royal family would marry a princess in the past, restrict them from marrying concubines, and reduce their Ding mouth in disguise. As for the Ding family's difficult birth, it is the first time that it has encountered it. ”
Shaodian Dan seemed to grasp the key point, and said excitedly: "We can find a way to restrict them from marrying concubines, or we can find a way to encourage them to marry concubines." It's a big deal that I came forward to ask Ding Kui to marry a few more concubines. ”
At this time, Shaodian Huan waved his hand outward and said, "Okay, I told you about Luan'er, I am just the guardian of the Shaodian clan, not your state adviser, what should you do, go back and think, don't harass me here." ”
Shaodian Dan was very conflicted in his heart, he wanted to learn more secrets from his uncle, but he was also afraid that this Shaodian Clan's guardian would take his life at any time. In the end, the cherishing of life overpowered the desire for secret knowledge, and he obediently bid farewell to Shaodian Huan and left the core place of the Shaodian clan.
Everyone in the Anguo Mansion is very busy, only the "Shaohua Courtyard" is quiet.
Ding Kui practiced the "Turning Qi into a Dragon Technique" for a while, and felt bored and called Mrs. Liang.
"This mansion is very big, or you take me around to recognize the way, I'm afraid I'll get lost in this mansion if I'm in a hurry. Ding Kui said.
"You have found the right person, people who are more familiar with the Anguo Mansion than the slave maid are afraid that they will not have time to wait for you, the slave and maid will take you away, and promise that you will be recognized in a while." ”
Mrs. Liang didn't bother Ding Kui, but became a tour guide with great interest and took Ding Kui to play in the Anguo Mansion. Everywhere she went, she could tell some history, either related to Jiang Yao or Jiang Tong, in short, Ding Kui listened to it with relish.
When passing through an open space, Ding Kui found that there was a flagpole towering into the sky in the clearing, but the top of the flagpole was empty, so he asked: "Why is this flagpole so high? I'm afraid it's the highest flagpole in the house, why is there no flag on it now?"
"Back to the young master, this is indeed the highest flagpole in the Anguo Mansion, but this flag cannot be raised easily. Only when someone in the province is out on a campaign, a flying fish flag will be raised to remind everyone in the family to pray for the blessings of the clansmen who are going on the expedition.
If you count the time, there has been no flag raising here for more than seven years. Last time, he had risen for another young master, but unfortunately he never came back. Little young master, doesn't the Ding family have such a flagpole?"
"My family doesn't have it, the Ding family has a flag, it's stored in the Eighth Legion," Ding Kui suddenly stopped when he said this, and pinched his chin with his hand for a while, "You can quickly find someone to ask, where is my father at the moment, or my housekeeper and personal guard commander can also do." ”
Mrs. Liang asked a few people in a row, took Ding Kui to the front yard, and found Quan Sihai near the living room in the front yard, where he was chatting with Jiang Nan.
"Where's my father?" asked Ding Kui.
"Hou Ye met with the envoy of the governor of Linhai Prefecture inside. Quan Sihai replied.
Jiang Tong's "Promotion Ceremony" is not for everyone to participate, but it does not prevent the people who receive the news from coming to give gifts, even the people of Zhenjing can come to send something, but the level of the reception is different.
The weight of the state pastor in the promotion ceremony of the seventh-level combat power is a little insufficient, but the envoy he sent to give gifts cannot be received by ordinary people, and Jiang Tong's son-in-law, Hou Dingqi, is the right person.
"What will the old division commanders of the Eighth Army do when they know that we have arrived in Zhenjing?" Ding Kui asked what he was worried about.
"We came through the portal, and we didn't inform them before, how could they know so quickly?" Quan Sihai was stunned for a moment, this question obviously did not think about it.
"If I don't say it, if you don't say it, it doesn't mean that others don't say it. We didn't hide our whereabouts here, some people with ulterior motives will know about it first, do you think they will deliberately reveal it to the people of the Eighth Legion?"
"Very likely," Quan Sihai reacted, after all, he was a veteran officer who led the troops to fight, "With the temper of a few of them for so many years, they will definitely not be able to help but run over."
Jiang Xi is the acting commander of the army, they have a reason to join the excitement of tomorrow's 'promotion ceremony', even if they don't come to participate in the ceremony, they can also use the excuse to report on military affairs, in short, they will try their best to meet the Hou Ye. ”
Jiang Nan couldn't figure out the situation next to him, and asked, "What are you talking about?" The second master didn't give an order, how could the division commander of the Eighth Army take the initiative to come to the mansion. ”
"I'm afraid that even if your second master gives orders, they won't necessarily obey, no one here knows them better than me, and they will obey only when the Hou Ye speaks. Quan Sihai looked at Jiang Nan mockingly, "If the young master's words don't suit their wishes, those old things won't be executed." ”
Perhaps noticing the situation outside, Ding Qi ended his conversation with the envoy of Linhai Prefecture.
"Kui'er, don't you rest at your mother's, why are you running to the front?" Ding Qi came over and asked Ding Kui first.
"The boy remembered the banner of the Eighth Legion, I wonder if the king will allow me to take a look?" Ding Kui's words stopped.
Ding Qi frowned.
"The young master is worried that Lao Dong and they will be provoked, and they will come to you at tomorrow's ceremony. Quan Sihai completed Ding Kui's words, just like when Ding Dao held a military meeting in the past, the generals were responsible for understanding and conveying the meaning of the commander.
"They must be stopped, I will go and talk to the second brother, and let him issue a military order to prohibit the men of the Eighth Legion from leaving the camp during this time. Ding Qi saw the problem, it was not in the interests of the Ding family and the Jiang family to arouse Shaodiandan's suspicion at this time.
"Father, the second uncle's military order is going to be disobeyed, this is ......" Ding Kui is even more difficult to say clearly.
"That year, I tried my best to stop them in the legion meeting, so I didn't let them return to attack the capital, and now that several of us have left the legion, who can suppress Lao Dong and them? Only when someone who convinces them appears, will they be obedient. I don't think they will listen to me. "All the seas excluded themselves first.
"Is there any difference between me and them coming over? Is there anything in Zhenjing City that can hide from the eyes and ears of the spy department? It is also a reason to let Kui'er go. Do you want Uncle Kun to go?" Ding Qi was very entangled.
"Yes, let Grandpa Kun go. Ding Kui's eyes lit up, he had planned to invite Quan Sihai to come forward, "When I was studying in the Knight Guild, the instructor once said that the commander's personal commander has a bit of a military judge's flavor, and usually the officers who disobey the general's orders are punished by the commander of the personal army. ”
"The young master is right, when Brother Kun was still in the camp, the most feared of us was not the boss but him. When beating the military sticks, Brother Kun kills them together, and ten sticks can kill him, and if he shows mercy to his subordinates, he will go back to lie down for three days after beating a hundred sticks.
Brother Kun has already stepped into the realm of the Great Martial Master with half a foot, and Lao Dong and the others together are not Brother Kun's opponents, and if they don't listen, they will be beaten. Thinking of Ding Kun beating his colleagues, Quan Sihai was a little excited, "Oh, Uncle Kun's cultivation has made progress, great, what about others?" Ding Qi's excitement was because Ding Kun was expected to break through the bottleneck.
"He was called away by Steward Jiang, and I guess the two of them secretly found a place to drink. Jiang Nan finally had a chance to interject.
The housekeepers of the Ding and Jiang families are old acquaintances, and the two of them like to drink a few pots when they get together, and they didn't drink less when the Ding family didn't leave the capital in the past.
"You go find Uncle Kun and ask him to stop all the people of the Eighth Legion on the official road outside the city, and tell them not to rush to meet me, as long as I don't die, I will carry that flag one day. After Ding Qi finished speaking, he glanced at Ding Kui.
Ding Kui suddenly felt a chill penetrate his body from the soles of his feet, and he asked a dangerous smell.
"Father, if you have no other orders, the child will retire first. Ding Kui saluted very respectfully.
"Wait. ”
