Better to live forever [Rebirth]

On December 26, the [-]th year of Zhenyuan, once the Zhu family's criminal evidence was submitted to Beijing, the government and the public were shocked.

The Marquis of Zhenbei was called into the palace, but he never returned. After reading the memorial, he bluntly cursed: "It doesn't make sense!" The imperial army surrounded the Zhenbeihou mansion with heavy troops, and the population was not allowed to enter or leave, and those who violated the order were beheaded.Zhu San, the housekeeper who was waiting outside the palace gate, sensed something was wrong, and concealed his whereabouts with three soldiers, until the emperor announced the news that Zhu Zhenliang, his son and brother Zhu Jiu had returned to the capital.

He and the three government soldiers left Beijing immediately, traveling day and night, trying to inform a few people before the decree was issued to Xianbei, but unexpectedly, the emperor sent the decree secretly, secretly believing that Xianbei Zhou Mu took over the military power of Zhu's army and escorted Zhu Zhenliang and others back to Beijing .

When they met with Zhu Zhenliang and others, Zhu Zhenliang and the others were in a fierce battle, and the assassins were assassinated one after another. Zhu Quan died under the poisonous hidden weapon of the dead to protect Zhu Zhenliang's life.The addition of Zhu San and the three government soldiers failed to save the dead situation, but only added lives. When they were almost desperate, another group of people rushed into the siege, and the seriously injured Zhu Zhenliang, Zhu Zhengbei and the housekeeper Zhu [-]. Lieutenant General Zhu Fan and others took back a life.

It was Zhu Dingbei's remnant soldiers raised in Changning Villa!

Like Zhu San, after they got the news that the emperor asked Zhu's army, they also rushed towards Xianbei.Zhu Xiang was a scout when he joined the army. He had an intuition that there must be a fraud, but he didn't know what it was, so he made the worst plan.

Zhu Xiang had already made preparations for the Zhu family to rebel against the emperor. Therefore, he counted the [-] elite soldiers that Zhu Dingbei had cultivated over the past few years, and left half of them in Luojing to guard the population of the Marquis of Zhenbei. If the emperor really If they wanted to kill them, these people immediately led Zhu's family to flee for their lives.He took all the remaining [-] elite soldiers to Xianbei. No matter how bad they were, they would be helped by the forwards. They could fight with their lives for the sake of the Zhu family.

It was because of his devotion to death that, by chance, he saved the lives of several members of Zhu's family amidst numerous assassinations!

After the news of Zhu Zhenliang's father and son's serious injuries spread, the emperor's hidden guards could not find their whereabouts.Zhu Xiang took the elite soldiers to hide them and waited for them.

The royal family and the Ning family of Zhu Xiang and his party were not found out, and Zhu Dingbei, who had just met with the search and rescue personnel at this time, did not know it himself.

After the leader of the Ning family's dark guard finished talking about the situation of Xianbei, he informed the situation of Liangzhou, Ningzhou and Luojing one by one.

There was nothing unusual in Liangzhou at this time. The Wusun War had ceased amidst the snowstorm. Dajing, the Xiongnu and Qiang tribe, was defending one side, and no one made an attack with all the efforts of the three parties, maintaining a strange calm.

The battle in Ningzhou is still fierce. Ningzhou, which is located in the southwest, has ice and snow from time to time due to its high terrain, but the temperature is still very high in sunny days, so the fighting is intermittent.After Ye Shenren was seriously injured in the assassination, his health deteriorated, and he is now on his way back to Luojing.Yao Rang, the second-rank general of the military aircraft department, took over the military affairs of the first-rank Grand Duke Ye Shenren, and fought several victories in Ningzhou, which boosted the morale and stabilized the morale of the army.And Zhen Youxiang withstood the pressure of Ningzhou gentry, persuaded them to stay in Ningzhou to advance and retreat with the army, and rectified the administration of officials to appease the people, so the situation in Ningzhou reached the best state since the war.

There was no big storm in Luojing. The Zhenbeihou's mansion was besieged and the Zhenbeihou was detained in the palace. The ministers expressed their feelings and the emperor was stubborn.

But fortunately, the emperor did not impulsively want the lives of the Zhu family to do something irreversible.At this time, the commander-in-chief of the Qin Dynasty was ordered to reflect in the government, Dong Xianglou was reprimanded by the emperor, and it was clearly ordered that if there was any person who made a petition for the Zhu family army in the future, if the Zhu family army's conviction was true in the future, the petitioner would also be guilty of the same crime.Lou Shangshu has been sick in the government since that day, but the top secret of the military weapon was leaked, and the Ministry of Industry cannot absolve himself of the blame. Temple cross-examination.

Ning Heng saw Zhu Dingbei clenched his fists and said nothing, so he asked, "Who is in command of the imperial army now?"

"The military seal of the Forbidden Army is still in the hands of the Grand Commander of the Qin Dynasty. His Majesty has the Deputy Commander of the Forbidden Army Wu Bei and Zhang Fei acting as the Grand Commander. Both of them are disciples of the Son of Heaven and hold the rank of second-rank general. Their in-laws are not obvious and they have no faction. "

The emperor did not take back the military seal, which meant that he had no intention of changing the commanding position of Qin Wu's forbidden army.The so-called disciples of the son of heaven are those from poor families who were appreciated by the emperor and hired into the army during the martial arts examination, and they have never fought against factions and are still pure pro-imperial parties, not involved in party disputes.

As long as the forbidden army is not in chaos, the capital will not be in chaos.

This somewhat reassured Ning Heng.

"Longevity?"

Seeing that Zhu Dingbei was in deep thought, with a strange expression on his face, Ning Heng called him back to his senses, fearing that he might be fascinated.

Only then did Zhu Dingbei ask aloud, "How many days has it been snowing in the northern border?"

The leader of the dark guards looked at Ning Heng, and after he nodded, he replied, "When the letter was sent back yesterday, the wind and snow hadn't stopped. It has been four days."

Zhu Dingbei let go of his palm and took a deep breath.Only five days before and after, the Zhu family suffered such a big change. If it wasn't for the snow, the Xiongnu and Qiang would have marched southward on the day his father was assassinated.

"Tomorrow night at the earliest, three days at the latest, the snow will stop, and then the Huns and Qiang will send troops."

He knows the weather in the northern border very well, even if he has vague memories of how many snowstorms there were in Xianbei this year, but the snow in the northern border is also intermittent. It is rare for snow to last for more than eight days.

Ning Heng: "Changsheng thinks that the Wusun battle is a fake, and they took this opportunity to form an alliance and conspire with me?"

"good."

Zhu Dingbei clasped the knuckles of his right thumb tightly, and said in a deep voice, "We've all been tricked."

"Why did the Xiongnu choose this time to capture Wusun? Where did they use the stolen money to buy food and livestock?" Zhu Dingbei's eyes flashed coldly, "They used the chaos in the northern border to deceive our people. Sight, it is the Qiang people who really support them."

"However, the Qiang people also encountered disaster years. How did they preserve so many cattle and sheep, and where did they get the food?"

Uncle Ning was led into thinking by Zhu Dingbei, and subconsciously asked his doubts.

"Oh, good question."

Zhu Dingbei sneered: "What do you think, how about Pan Yue Shan?"

Panyue and Shan State are located in extremely difficult places, and the heat and humidity-loving grains are harvested all year round. They are also the places least affected by the disaster this time.

The Panyue Shan State once took refuge in Dajing during the second Dajing and asked itself to be a vassal state, and rebelled against Dajing in the third Emperor Wenzong's later years.And for nearly a hundred years, they introduced Dajing's farming into the land, and transformed the wild land of water into a grain field.Leaving aside the old story of how they became independent back then, even though the Panyue Shan Kingdom still lacks in military affairs, it has good farming skills and high grain yields, which is why they have the confidence to challenge Dajing Ningzhou.

But since Emperor Zhenyuan ascended the throne, there has been no such big war on the southwest border for a long time.

Zhu Dingbei was only shocked by the connection between the front and back. He only thought that the Qiang people would intervene in the troubled waters when Ningzhou was defeated, but he never thought about the possibility of the Qiang people colluding with Panyue Shan from the beginning to the end.

What if it was these two Panyue and Shan countries that supported the Qiang and Huns?

Regardless of whether they formed an alliance and joined forces, they worked step by step to bring Dajing to where he is today, but at this time, Dajing's border defenses are lax, which is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them!

——The head coach of the Zhu family is in trouble, the Xianbei garrison is mediocre and incompetent, and the Zhu family's army has no leader, and then paralyzed by the Xiongnu's false defeat, it can almost be said to be at your fingertips.

——The Zhu family army stationed in Jincheng has been destabilized due to the Zhu family's change. Even if the Liangzhou army's combat strength is still there, it is difficult to fight against the Qiang and Huns alone.

——Ningzhou seems to have a solid defense, but it is actually fragile.Panyue, the Shan Kingdom, and the barbarians teamed up with the Qiang people to attack with all their strength. How long can Ningzhou last with Yao Rang and a civil servant and right minister?

These wealthy wolves, tigers and leopards are already eyeing up, and when the time comes, they will pounce on Dajing and split the soil!

The few people in the room thought about it carefully and panicked, and they all took a breath of cold air.

Zhu Dingbei's words were not finished yet.

"Do you think, who can leak the top secret of weapons to the Xiongnu?"

Unless a totalitarian official infiltrated the court of Dajing, who would have the ability to reveal the top secrets of Dajing? The Xiongnu and Dajing made almost identical bows in just a few days. What does this mean?Not long after the Ministry of Industry got the blueprint given by Lou Anning, the blueprint of the weapon had already fallen into their hands!

The northern border, western border, and southern border are dying, and the lackeys of the Li party are cooperating inside and outside.

External and internal troubles, the building will collapse.

This thought penetrated into their minds like a bone-piercing chill from the soles of their feet, making them tremble involuntarily.

Zhu Dingbei and Ning Heng have been isolated on the isolated island for three months, but at this time, they have heard such a deep hidden worry, no, this is not a hidden danger, but it is in the plan of the foreign enemy!In vain, they were in it and thought they could see the situation clearly, but they were blinded by the authorities, completely unable to see the disasters that had eroded the foundation of Dajing.

They didn't think that Zhu Dingbei was alarmist, and they were all horrified at this moment.

The leader of the Ning family's hidden guard forced himself to keep his voice as steady as before: "Patriarch, do you want a golden order?"

Ning Heng looked down, and did not answer this sentence, but instead asked: "The emperor is not such an impulsive person, what made him so resolutely call Zhu Shuai back to Beijing for interrogation?"

Putting personal emotions aside, Emperor Zhenyuan was a clear-headed emperor. He was more accomplished and farsighted than the previous emperors. Although he was paranoid and moody, he loved the people and worked hard.

The leader of the dark guards thought about Tong Tong carefully, and then said: "The past few months, your majesty's dark guards have been acting frequently. About a month ago, the royal dark guards appeared frequently in Xianbei Mansion. They seemed to be looking for someone, but the letter building at home found out that your majesty He didn't find the person he was looking for."

Zhu Dingbei and Ning Heng looked at each other.

The two were almost sure at the same time that the person the emperor was looking for was the third young master of the Liang family.

Could it be that the emperor found out that Liang Sanshao was hiding in Zhu's army, so he couldn't wait to call Zhu Zhenliang back to Beijing for questioning?Zhu Dingbei then asked where Gu Chaoan, the military adviser of the Zhu family army, was now, but the leader of the secret guards could not answer immediately, which made Zhu Dingbei and Ning Heng realize that the royal secret guards and the secret guards of the Ning family had no special regard for the military adviser of the Zhu family army. s concern.Sure enough, the leader of the secret guard said: "According to what my subordinates know, this time Zhu Shuai went to the front to fight against the enemy. The ancient army division stayed in the commander's mansion to recuperate due to illness. Like Zhu Shuai and Xiao General Zhu's family members, his whereabouts are still unknown."

If it wasn't because of Liang Sanshao, then why did the emperor make such a stupid decision?

Both of them couldn't figure it out, so Ning Heng said to the leader of the secret guard: "I will write a letter in hand, and you can send it to the palace together with the golden order."
