Better to live forever [Rebirth]

Zhu Dingbei saw Ke Zong from a distance and didn't talk to him, but sent a message to Qian Hui to pay more attention.

When Ning Heng asked about his trip to the South China Sea, Zhu Dingbei talked about the highlights of the drill battle. He didn't talk about Ke Zong in depth, but talked about Dong Minghe.

"Senior Brother Minghe's kindness to my Zhu family is very dear to my heart, but, will he be dissatisfied with his handling of the errands assigned by His Majesty?" Zhu Dingbei accepted his feelings and also thought about him, afraid Such behavior will arouse suspicion in the emperor's heart, which is not good for him.

Ning Heng laughed and said, "Dong Minghe is a smart man."

"Oh, then I will ask Master Changxin for his opinion." He could tell that Ning Heng's words were not just complimenting the other party.

"Changsheng, the biggest difference between you and Dong Minghe is the word tact." Ning Heng put it bluntly: "The official Confucianism in the Dong family era had his own way of being an official. Dong Minghe has been fascinated by his ears since he was a child, so naturally he can't be ordinary. Military generals talk about it. There is a truth in the officialdom, you don’t have to be full of things, you just need to do it properly.”

"It doesn't have to be full?"

Seeing that he was getting serious, Ning Heng smiled secretly in his heart, and said seriously: "They do things only seven out of ten, and sometimes even deliberately do less. It's not that they don't do their best, but that if they do things to the full, What does the emperor do, what does his colleagues do? This is called leaving room."

Otherwise, all your cleverness will be taken by your family, how can others stand out, and how can the emperor check and balance?

This is the biggest difference between being an official and being a general. Facing a life-and-death battle, what a military general has to do is to strive for the greatest victory and vitality, but an official must always remember to leave half of his life to others.It is precisely because of this difference that Dong Minghe will consider aspects that Zhu Dingbei will not consider in his actions, and will make different choices from Zhu Dingbei.

If the position is changed, Zhu Dingbei will definitely go all out to train the private army entrusted by the emperor, but Dong Minghe will only do his own job well, and will never touch things that he should not interfere with.

After hearing this, Zhu Dingbei was stunned for a while, and then gave Ning Heng a faint look, "Anyway, I remember his kindness."

Don't think he can't hear it. Although Ning Heng's words are true, there is only one purpose, to make him not remember Dong Minghe so well.This person is very cautious, he wants to find out the right and wrong of whoever he praises three times in everything these years, for fear that he will be deceived and wrongly trusted.

He didn't understand it before, but after these years, he gradually understood the domineering and stubborn nature of Lord Changxin.

Master Hou is afraid that others will overtake him in his heart and "compete for favor".

Ning Heng maintained a poker face, raised his eyelashes, and said with an incomprehensible righteous expression: "It is imperative to guard against others."

Zhu Dingbei laughed and said: "What Hou Ye said is very true, Xiaosheng has been educated."

Ning Heng couldn't help laughing, and couldn't help showing a smile on his tense expression. He patted Zhu Dingbei's head, and said in a serious tone: "Dong Minghe can make friends with him, but it's best not to get involved in the Dong family's family affairs. .”

Zhu Dingbei nodded, and after learning that Huang Yu was assassinated by the Dong family just like in his previous life and almost died, he asked Ning Heng about the Dong family.

The Dong family's reputation as an official and Confucian family is not due to others' flattery. Except for the direct line headed by Dong Xiang who is now serving as an official, since the founding of the country, the Dong family has had three prime ministers, five grand masters, and four state shepherds. It was also the home of the rich and powerful in its heyday.Although the Dong family is under the influence of Dong Xiang, and now the younger generation is much more low-key, but no one dares to underestimate him.

Ning Heng had a good personal relationship with Dong Minghe, but he didn't want Zhu Dingbei to have too much contact with the Dong family because of the Dong family's family tradition.

Be strict with yourself.

These four-character mantras have reached a certain extreme in the Dong family. A gentle person like Dong Xiang is already an outlier in the Dong family. Dong Minghe, who is unrestrained and flamboyant, can't tell that he is a descendant raised by the Dong family.The self-discipline of the Dong family is like that of an ascetic monk. Food, clothing, housing, transportation, and even every word and expression are measured, without any mistakes or omissions.

When Zhu Dingbei first heard that a son of the Dong family was expelled from the house because he married a concubine, he was shocked. Later, he heard that the Dong family's family precepts would never allow a son of an official to marry a male wife. Yu could not help feeling sympathetic.

No wonder Dong Minghe was so resolute when he left, because there was no way to achieve both, he could only fight.

The Dong family pays attention to the law and family rules. Once you grow crooked, no matter what your status is, you will be ruthlessly cut off. The methods are more ruthless and decisive than the handsome generals on the battlefield.At that time, Zhu Dingbei knew that he would not be able to get along with the Dong family's pedestrians. If it wasn't for Dong Ming and his friendship, he would have avoided them and would not have taken the initiative to provoke them without Ning Heng's reminder.

On the second day, Lou Anning excitedly came to Zhu Dingbei with huge dark circles under his eyes. Behind him, Lou Ankang looked tired and said helplessly to Zhu Dingbei: "Changsheng, help me take care of him." .”

Zhu Dingbei saw that Lou Anning was so excited that he couldn't stop until he finished the work, so he didn't bother to persuade him, just took the blueprint he handed over and studied it carefully.

Lou Anning said from the side: "Yesterday I saw that Ke Zhonglang was going to use the technique of diving and ambush, so I took their sharp weapon to dig a boat and came back to look at it. Although that thing is sharp and heavy underwater, it can't be used unless it uses force. A person with great infinity and excellent water quality should take on this important task. Otherwise, it would take a long time to dig out key points on the ship and destroy the ship. It would also require a lot of manpower, and it would be very dangerous. So I thought—"

"That's all you thought about." Zhu Dingbei glared at him, "Shut your mouth and give me some peace."

While talking, he didn't care about Lou Anning's dissatisfied expression, and asked someone to take a meal for the brothers.He gesticulated on the drawings for a while, feeling more and more admirable in his heart.

The way Lou Anning thought of was to put the weapon under the ship, sprint and launch the sharp weapon to break the ship.Although it was difficult to do, Lou Anning finally found a way to solve the insurmountable aspects he raised before. He believed that given enough time, Lou Anning would be able to improve this weapon into what he wanted .

After the Lou family brothers had eaten, Zhu Dingbei asked aloud, "What do you want to use as a thrust?"

Both people and weapons will face the same problem underwater, that is, the resistance of water.The power of this weapon on land can be discounted in water. If there is not enough thrust, it will be difficult to even launch it.

Lou Anning: "Hot air."

Zhu Dingbei smiled comprehensibly. A year ago they accidentally discovered that the heat has a great propulsion effect. Lou Anning has been working hard to use this feature. Now that he looks confident, he must be extremely Big grasp.

"What do you want to use as a weapon?" Zhu Dingbei asked again.

"I still use iron tools, but you have to try it out to know how to use it." Lou Anning scratched his head, Zhu Dingbei patted his head, and said with a smile: "I see, you go to catch up on sleep, wait for you When I wake up, I will arrange for a craftsman to help you."

Lou Anning got the letter, and happily left with her brother who also didn't get enough sleep.

Zhu Dingbei asked Ning Heng to arrange someone. He did not know the address and said with emotion: "Lou Er is usually stupid, but ordinary people don't have his sensitivity and ideas about military weapons. If this thing can be made, then breaking the city gate can also be done." Long-distance attack can be very useful." He knocked on the table and talked to Ning Heng with great interest, and waited until Uncle Ning reminded him before stopping, and together with Ning Heng, he went to visit the room where Mrs. Liang lived next door. she.

Mrs. Liang's eyesight has recovered a lot, and she was surprised by Zhu Dingbei's appearance a few days ago, and said that it was not easy for the Zhenbei Marquis to raise such a tender little grandson like him.

The corners of Zhu Dingbei's mouth twitched. In the past two years, he had to hide and tuck up his martial arts training, and he didn't have much chance to expose himself to the wind and sun. Therefore, his skin became fairer and more delicate, and he couldn't find the dark and rough masculinity of his previous life. .For this reason, he was quite depressed, but Mrs. Liang liked his appearance very much, and said that he was very similar to her son.

Zhu Dingbei tilted his head and thought about the appearance of the Military Adviser in his memory, and sighed to himself that indeed a man was trained on the battlefield. Even though Uncle Chaoan's facial features are more handsome than ordinary people, his honey-colored skin and rough temperament are very iron-boned.

Mrs. Liang is a talkative old man, very kind to the younger generation, but after writing a letter to Xianbei Mansion two days ago, she was depressed for a long time.Zhu Dingbei didn't know the content of the letter, and when the two entered the room, they found her staring at the bed in a daze, and couldn't help worrying.

After Ning Heng checked her pulse, he said bluntly: "Excessive worrying is not good for health preservation. If you have any difficulties, old lady, please tell me. We will try our best to solve it for you. Don't hide it in your heart. It will not be good for your condition."

Why doesn't Mrs. Liang know about it?

"Hey, old man, it's useless." Mrs. Liang thumped her rheumatic knee and said apologetically, "I also know that this is not a way to keep in good health. I just think about it, and I can't stop even if I want to." .”

Zhu Dingbei frowned, "Grandmother is worried...he is fine, my father and mother will take good care of him, please rest assured."

Mrs. Liang smiled gently. She naturally knew that the Zhu family had done their best, but she also knew that her son had a bad temper. If he wanted to get out of self-blame and self-injury, only the advice of others would be effective.

"Sen'er died in the fire. I'm afraid that he will be bitter and resentful for the destruction of my Liang family's incense. Now, nothing compares to him taking care of himself, so that my mother's heart can be stable."

Forfeit the incense?

Died in the fire?

Could it be!

Zhu Dingbei and Ning Heng looked at each other, and couldn't help asking the old lady deeper.
