Better to live forever [Rebirth]

On the night Liu Feifei was taken into captivity, someone sneaked into Zuo Xiang's mansion to steal.The thief was caught by mistake and has been sent to Jingzhaoyin Mansion.

Originally, this was not enough to attract Ning Heng's attention, but it happened that Liu Feifei was kidnapped, and it happened that the subordinates also found out about it.After an in-depth investigation, it was discovered that what the thief wanted to steal was not simple, but the key to the private treasury of the royal family!

In the Dajing Dynasty, under the prime minister, there were two assistants on the left and right. The responsibilities of the two left and right ministers were more directly serving the royal family. All foreign affairs, including harem purchases.These two positions seem to overlap with the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households, but it is precisely because the private treasury of the royal family is independent from the national treasury that it is necessary to share it.What's more, the Dajing imperial family is different in that the inner court compradors are all entrusted to outsiders, rather than through the hands of inner court eunuchs.

Liu Zuoxiang only held half of the keys to the private treasury, and the other half was in the hands of the emperor. The Ning family immediately paid attention to it, and they found out that the half of the keys owned by the emperor had been stolen.

The royal private treasury is opened every three months to facilitate inventory and storage. The inventory in March has just ended. Stealing the keys at this time is clearly to do something to the royal treasury before the next opening opportunity.

Zhu Dingbei was a little stunned when he learned about it. It was the first time he knew that half of the keys to the treasury were in the hands of the left minister.He said: "Isn't the emperor strictly investigating the harem, how can someone steal the key of the private treasury?" The emperor's means can't be so incompetent.

"Self-defense." Ning Heng said.

The person who can take care of the emperor's private money must be the emperor's confidantes. Besides, the private treasury has just undergone an inventory and will not be opened within three months. Naturally, the private treasury key will not attract too much attention.

This key was placed in the emperor's bedroom, and no one would see it, but it happened to be stolen.There are very few people who may succeed, and once they are excluded, they will be locked in the target.

"After the emperor was poisoned, he must be the first to check the people close to him. Since he has moved the harem, the people around him must be people who trust him..." Zhu Dingbei was thoughtful, "I didn't expect How could they stretch their hands so far."

The Ning family found the key to the treasury, so they naturally had to greet the emperor in advance. Presumably when this matter was exposed, the most frightened person was the emperor himself.

Ning Heng: "The one who guards the key is an old servant, an old man left to His Majesty by the late emperor. This chess piece was buried decades ago, and it is only now being used. It is hard to guard against."

Here is the scary part of Li Dang.

The status of an old servant who served two emperors personally in the palace is too special. He has been standing still, and no one will suspect him. But if he wants to do something, whether it is harming the emperor or "loaning out" the private treasury Keys can be silent.

Zhu Dingbei frowned, Li Dang definitely arranged more than one hidden stake with such weight in the palace.

"I'm afraid the emperor will not sleep well again."

He said without sympathy, but the marks between his brows got deeper.

It is not difficult to guess what to do in the private warehouse, either stealing treasure or stealing silver, not to mention that some people want to repeat the same trick and replace the silver stored in the private warehouse with inferior silver to give the emperor a knowing blow.

While the royal family was conducting an in-depth investigation on this, the city of Luojing was still peaceful.

The injuries of Zhu Zhenliang and the others were almost healed, and the old lady had the energy to go out for a walk. When she came back, she told Zhu Dingbei and the others an anecdote that was passed down by word of mouth among the noble ladies in the city.

"...Who would have thought that the princess of a country would do such a thing? The son-in-law was so angry that he went back to the Guangning uncle's mansion. It was also said in the secret passage that the fifth son-in-law may not be romantic, but if it is the fifth princess, he will not be conservative. The woman said. The guard did have a good skin. Outsiders can't tell what the princess is doing with her. It's just that the son-in-law made such a fuss, which made everyone in Luojing know about it. It's really outrageous. "

Zhu Dingbei and the others felt ashamed when they heard this. They didn't expect Grandma to say so easily about the fact that the five princesses were raised in captivity. They were not surprised at all.

After asking out of curiosity, the old lady turned a blank face: "How can you guys think of people in such a nasty way? Her Royal Highness is raising a face by bringing people around? No knowledge, but Seeing that the man looks good, it's just pleasing to the eye. If there is really dirty business, he won't show it to others. It's just that the son-in-law is too high-minded... Why are you looking at me like this? Do you think that I am an old lady? Are you also that narrow-minded person?"

The old lady laughed: "After getting married and establishing a household, who doesn't live behind closed doors, and it's rare for them to live such a lively life like the two of them. It's the royal family who wants to leave a piece of money for them all these years. As a fig leaf, these two couples are still vying to tear it down. Now, who doesn’t know about the fifth princess and the son-in-law? If you are thin, your temper will be a bit left."

This is the most regrettable thing for the elderly.

"However, now the imperial concubine is also weak, and there is no one to deal with the aftermath of the fifth princess, so there are so many words. No one dares to watch her lively. Hey, I am also a poor person."

The Huang family in Liangzhou was gone, and the imperial concubine could not support herself in the palace. Not only did the fourth prince lose the support of his mother's family, but even the fifth princess also suffered.

But, no matter what, the fifth princess is still an emperor. After marrying as a woman, she will have her own status and honor, and idlers can't bully her.It's just that this princess is always savage and self-willed, and she is too lofty to eat the fireworks of the world. She cares about her husband and children, treats her parents-in-law well, and manages the business. She doesn't care about any of these three things that a housewife should do. Instead, she only cares about her children. With a long love, playing with his daughter's heart, it's no wonder that the son-in-law is getting closer to her.

Hearing his grandmother's emotion, Zhu Dingbei turned a corner to flatter her old man, raising his older sisters so well, which old lady can do it.

The old lady laughed straight after hearing this, but this is also true. The five daughters of the Zhu family married one after another, and it was rare for them to be at odds with their in-laws. It was this time that the Zhenbeihou Mansion was surrounded by the emperor's heavy soldiers, and they also thought of ways to go. Send some useful things in it, and run around for her mother's family. Although her husband's family has no power, they did not neglect the daughter of the Zhu family or disregard the relationship with the Zhu family because of the loss of power in the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.

These days, Zhu Zhenliang and the others were recuperating in the mansion, and they brought their children to visit from time to time, which made the old lady feel relieved a lot.

After the old lady rested, the father and son came to Zhu Zhenliang's room to light a lamp and talk.

Zhu Zhengbei missed his wife and children, Zhu Dingbei hadn't seen the three younger ones yet, so he was very curious.The eldest great-grandson of Zhu's family came to this world a few years later in his previous life, but he doesn't know if this healthy child with the same name as his previous life is the one he remembers.Zhu Zhengbei told him a lot of interesting stories about the children, which caused a lot of laughter. In the end, the father and son talked about the current situation on the border.

After the snow melted in spring, the war started in full swing.

The Xiongnu and Qiang were coming in menacingly. Judging from the strength of their troops and weapons and supplies, they had indeed been preparing for this battle for a long time, and everyone could see that it would be a protracted war.

Among the three realms, Liangzhou was attacked by the Huns and Qiang, Xianbei had civil strife in the north by the Xiongnu in the south, and Ningzhou had a joint offensive by the Qiang and the southern barbarians. It was not easy for anyone.Fortunately, Marshal Zhu was still young, and he suppressed the civil strife in Xianbei with iron and blood skills that he never had when he was young, and killed the Xiongnu a few times, which inspired the army.

In these few victories, the greatest contribution to defeating the enemy with few victories should go to Zhu Dingbei's elite soldiers.

Zhu Zhenliang looked itchy, thinking about keeping these people in the army and letting his son train another group of troops, for this reason, he has been trying to please Zhu Dingbei these days.

The latter looked amused. Since he let the elite soldiers show up in the northern border, there is no possibility of taking them back to the dark place. How many people are staring at the Zhu family? The reorganization was disrupted, and because of the war this time, the Ministry of War could not verify the current military status of the soldiers, so these [-] elite soldiers joined Zhu's army and did not cause trouble.

Zhu Dingbei didn't want to bury them and only did some secret things. His soldiers should be famous on the battlefield.

After seeing his promise, his father had a silly face, and Zhu Dingbei couldn't help pouring cold water on his face: "This battle will always be over, Dad has thought about what will happen after the battle is over."

Zhu Zhenliang wrinkled his face, even if he hadn't thought about it before, now after being reminded by him, he can immediately think of what kind of mess it will be.

Thinking of it, he felt angry. The Xianbei Mansion was built with great difficulty, and millions of migrants settled there, intermarried with each other, and lived in peace. It used to have a bright future of prosperity, but now it is completely ruined.In the Xianbei area, Dajing had put so much effort into it, it was impossible to give up.So, how to resettle these surviving people, and how to reorganize Xianbei's banner, although these are not things that Zhu Jiajun should control, but just thinking about it makes people worry.

Zhu Dingbei hit the rails while it was hot: "Father, you have also seen that after the garrison moved to Xianbei, we didn't care about it, which caused such a big mess. After you go back, you must not be soft on yourself, don't wait for the battle to fight After finishing, I want the emperor to cry a few more times about your difficulties."

As soon as Zhu Zhenliang changed his mind, he said in surprise, "Changsheng wants Weifu to take over the military power of the garrison?"
