Better to live forever [Rebirth]

When Zhu Dingbei heard the news that Li Ping was collaborating with the Huns, he was stunned for a long time. When he suppressed his horror and confirmed it with the old Hou Ye, the old Hou Ye had already scolded all eighteen generations of Li Ping's ancestors.

When Old Hou Ye heard him ask in a daze, "What did Grandpa just say?", he was also dazed for a moment.

Ning Heng, who was peeling nuts for Zhu Dingbei, raised his head and said, "Li Ping is treasonous and collaborating with the enemy, and now all the soldiers of Li's lineage and his nine clans have been detained for interrogation."

His tone was flat, as if he was saying that he had eaten enough today.

Zhu Dingbei was so startled that he moved his shoulder, back and right leg, which had not yet healed, and hissed in pain.Old Master Hou was taken aback, Ning Heng threw the nut away cleanly, and grabbed him to prevent him from moving around.

But Zhu Dingbei didn't care about the pain, and said anxiously: "The letter is verified to be true? Why did Li Ping do this?"

The old Hou Ye was still so angry that his face swelled up a circle, and he said fiercely: "Why else? He Li Ping wants my Zhu family to be destroyed forever! Didn't you see that what he and the Xiongnu revealed were all information from our Zhu family? What's even more hateful is that he actually killed you! Three years ago, you were only a nine-year-old child, old thief Li dared to do this, my Zhu family and the Li family are at odds!"

Zhu Dingbei's face was neither sad nor happy, he just frowned and said: "This matter is full of doubts. Apart from other things, even if Li Ping really colluded with the enemy, those letters will definitely be destroyed before he dies. Li Shouren is his Your confidant must also know the consequences of these letters being dug out, and it is impossible to hide them privately. Could it be that someone framed them?"

The old Hou Ye's anger subsided, but he still said: "No matter why Li Shouren hid the letters privately, those letters have been proven not to be forged. Back then, I wondered how the Huns would know your identity and position, and even be able to tell you when you But if Li Ping's party cooperates with him internally and externally, it will make sense."

Zhu Dingbei was still stubborn, "Could it be the Xiongnu—my lord? Could it be Hu Erduo's trick? Although the Li family is not as good as my Zhu family, it was also severely damaged when the army was purged before, but the Li family general Our Dajing is still very powerful, once the nine clans are implicated, our Dajing military strength will definitely be damaged, and there will be another turmoil in the four realms, and our court may not be able to quell the war like last year."

He became more and more anxious when he went to the back, and the old Hou Ye also calmed down after hearing this.

He got up and said: "If it's really that old witch... no, I have to go to the palace to meet His Majesty."

As he said he was about to leave, Zhu Dingbei hurriedly called out: "Tell daddy not to act rashly, and always be on guard against the changes of the Xiongnu and Qiang people."

Old Hou Ye answered loudly, and he disappeared before he finished speaking.

Zhu Dingbei breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that Ning Heng had been holding onto him tightly, otherwise he would have been hurt again just now in a hurry.

He begged for mercy and glanced at the ugly Ning Heng, but he was still puzzled: "Ah Heng, what news do you have?"

He still couldn't believe it, Li Ping's previous life had never had such a bad deed, and there was no sign at all.Even though Zhu Dingbei and the Li family had deep blood feuds, they never thought that they would be so despicable as to collude with the Huns.But the letter was true, and Li Shouren didn't have the ability to hide from Li Ping's eyes and ears and communicate with the Xiongnu in private.That's why he boldly speculated that it was the Huns who planted the frame and intended to cause civil strife in Dajing.

But this is just his guess.

Ning Heng let him lean on the soft pillow, and said, "I'll ask when you're asleep."

He stayed by Zhu Dingbei's side during this time, and didn't pay much attention to outside affairs.Zhu Dingbei was anxious, pushing him and saying: "Go now, hurry up."

Ning Heng saw that he didn't move, so Zhu Dingbei simply closed his eyes and said, "I don't need you to accompany me to rest for a while, you go and come back quickly."

Ning Heng waited for a while, seeing that he had made up his mind, he got up.But after a quarter of an hour, he turned around and came back, still holding a bowl of tonic in his hand.

When Zhu Dingbei heard his footsteps, he had been waiting for a long time. Seeing him silently bringing the medicine bowl to his mouth, he immediately snatched it up and drank it, looking at him while swallowing.

Ning Heng waited for him to finish his drink, and then said: "According to the informant's report, the letter was brought out by the doctor who treated Li Ping and put it in Li Shouren's bag. The doctor was not from his grandfather, but from Liangzhou. A native of Jincheng, the only daughter died unexpectedly two years after marrying Li Shouren's subordinates. The doctor has practiced medicine for many years, and his inner family is very skilled. From the body of the only daughter, it can be seen that she not only died of an accident but also suffered a lot of abuse during her lifetime. Therefore, Li Dang He held a grudge. It was because he fled to Luojing and reported to the Ministry of War that the Ministry of War was able to investigate. That letter was not a forgery, and besides that, he also copied some other letters that were burned by Li Ping."

Zhu Dingbei stared: "Not framed?"

Ning Heng: "Nine out of ten."

As soon as Zhu Dingbei smashed the bed, he didn't care about the wound, and said anxiously: "You, get someone to chase my grandpa back!"

He almost gritted his teeth.

How stupid he must be!He thought Li Ping would not treason even if he conspired to seize the Zhu family!He completely overestimated Li Dang's character!These damned silverfish!

Ning Heng held him down and shook his head slightly.

"Why stop me?!"

Furious, Zhu Dingbei didn't take the time to think about the deep meaning of Ning Heng's move, and asked directly.

Ning Heng remained calm: "The Marquis of Zhenbei needs this attitude, and His Majesty will be pleased to hear that."

It can be said that Li Ping is highly relied on by the emperor, otherwise he would not have handed over the first fortress to him after the Zhu family left Liangzhou.At this time, the emperor must be extremely disappointed and depressed. If the Zhu family still kept a clear head and did not put pressure on His Majesty because of being a victim, and even thought about the safety of Dajing in everything, there would be no harm.

Zhu Dingbei paused, leaned back on the cushion, and started to think: "You are right, and the longer Li Ping's treason case drags on, the better it will be for us."

First, the border will have more time to arm.

Even if Li Ping colluded with the enemy first, instead of Huerdo's frame, the consequences of this crime will not change, and the safety of the border is the most important thing.

Secondly, Li Ping is not clean, how many generals in the Li family can get rid of clean?Even if they were destined to die among the nine clans, he would let them die with their own sins, instead of being implicated by so-called innocence, which made them cheaper for nothing!

Thirdly, the garrison has not yet completely stabilized its defense, and the Li family has too many people involved in it, which will cause a lot of omissions in the garrison.Therefore, their guilt cannot be judged too quickly. It must take a period of time for the court to mobilize good people to fill the vacancy.

The only pity is...

Zhu Dingbei sighed:

"Father may not be able to return to Beijing this year."

The palace, the imperial study.

After Emperor Zhenyuan heard about the intention of Lord Zhenbei's visit, he was really surprised for a moment, and then he had to be moved.

He originally thought that this violent old marshal wanted to make the Li family suffer a bad death, but he didn't expect that he was actually saving the life of the Li family in a disguised form, and he just wanted to put his own grievances aside for the safety of his family and country.

He didn't tense his expression for a while, but the old Hou Ye couldn't help scratching his head when he saw it, and said: "The old minister doesn't like the Li family, and I wish their whole family would die."

After saying this, the Dongsheng eunuch who was standing by the side trembled, but Emperor Zhenyuan's face remained unchanged, and he continued to say: "To tell you the truth, the year before last, there was a son of a bitch named Li Jie from the Li family who poisoned him. My grandson. His biological father is old man Li Cong, and he still thinks that I owe their family, and he wants to take revenge on my grandson. If it wasn't for my inconvenient status, I would have killed his old man long ago!"

"Ahem, Lord Hou, speak carefully."

Eunuch Dongsheng couldn't bear to remind him.

Old Hou Ye's voice froze, and he turned the conversation around and said: "But at least they are soldiers who risk their lives to defend their homeland on the battlefield. Although I don't know much about Li Ping, the son of my Dajing army will definitely not do it. This kind of crazy thing happened. If we are really going to fall into the trick of the Huns, wouldn’t we be at a big loss? It’s so hard to stop the war, and I’m afraid it will cost too much to fight again. If we don’t win, isn’t it—”

"Hey, I understand what the old marshal said."

The corners of Emperor Zhenyuan's eyes were tense so he didn't twitch, interrupting his unlucky words.

When the two talked about the sunset, Emperor Zhenyuan asked him to keep him for dinner, but the old Hou Ye said: "It's not convenient for my little grandson to be on the mountain, so I'd better go back and look at him quickly, otherwise my heart will be in turmoil." .”

Unexpectedly, when he came back, he heard his grandson overthrow the previous conclusion, and he was so angry that he only slapped his thigh.Even though Zhu Dingbei said all kinds of benefits, he still wished he could take back the righteousness he had said to the emperor before, and his intestines were full of regret.

On the last day of the first lunar month, the old Hou Ye arrived in Xianbei with two letters.

After reading the previous letter about Hu Erduo's frame for Li Ping's collusion with the Huns, Zhu Jiashuai was silent for a long time.

Zhu Zhenliang was already so angry that Li Ping colluded with the enemy and almost killed his youngest son that he wanted to dig his grave and whip his corpse, but he never thought that there was such a possibility.

Gu Chao'an didn't expect either.

In other words, he never thought that Li Ping might be innocent.

He has seen too much ugliness, and he understands to what extent fame and wealth can make people twisted and vicious.He believes that people always underestimate the despicableness of others, and Gu Chao'an doesn't like the Li family at all, so he is not surprised by what they will do.

Now all along, his vision is too narrow.

Even though the latter letter overturned Hu Erdo's judgment of framing, it also made him realize his own shortcomings.

His strategy and thinking are sufficient, but his vision is too small. When considering issues, he puts too much emphasis on his own interests and selfishness, instead of looking at the world and basing himself on people's livelihood.

This is not unrelated to the changes he experienced and the situation of being displaced.

And this old gentleman taught him a lot.

If you can have a conversation with him, you will have no regrets for the rest of your life.

he thought again.

Zhu Zhenliang noticed the change in his mood, but he didn't point it out, but complained: "The Li family is hateful, and the Xiongnu and Qiang people deserve to die. Fortunately, the Li family's disposal can be delayed for a while, otherwise four hands are not enough to deal with these A dog that smells fishy and gets excited."

Gu Chao'an smiled and said: "You are not the one who suffers the most. Presumably, His Majesty the Emperor will not be able to sleep for a while."

Whether it's Li Ping's guilt, or the safety of the border, or filling vacancies, any one of them is enough to make the superiors work hard.

Zhu Zhenliang and him looked at each other, then he laughed.

That's not bad.
