Better to live forever [Rebirth]

After the key to the royal family's private treasury was recovered, people in the palace began to panic, not because of these secret things, but because of a highly contagious soybean disease.

When the turmoil of the bean disease subsided, the new and old eunuchs and maids in the palace unfortunately died of the bean disease. Those who died under the bean disease did not attract the attention of others.The Zhu family breathed a sigh of relief. They had no energy to sympathize with others. Fortunately, Concubine Zhu Jiaxian was not affected by the disease because she locked the palace gate early. After the bean disease was over, the emperor also kindly relieved her confinement .

Zhu Dingbei was happy for his aunt's safety, but the death of Concubine Yipin Shu was beyond his expectation.

Inferior silver was found in the main house of the Ruan family in Ningzhou, and then all the members of the Ruan family died at the hands of the barbarians. The people used by the party did not expect that the first big fish found out in the end was Concubine Ruan Shu.

Ning Heng said to him: "Regardless of whether the Ruan family is related to the inferior silver or not, the emperor was poisoned by her hands."

Zhu Dingbei was surprised, "Could it be that the eldest prince can't wait any longer?"

This shouldn't be the case, the emperor is in the prime of his life, the eldest prince is not yet 25 years old, and now he is weak in the real power of the six departments of the court, and there is no support from the mother family behind him, even if the emperor is poisoned to death, the beneficiaries Nor would it be him.If it wasn't because of party disputes or personal relationships, then most of the reason why Concubine Shu did this was because of Li Dang's shocking plan this time.

"The Ruan family's power is very strong in Ningzhou, and the grass has not been eradicated, so it is not impossible to make a comeback. However, the bad money in the Ruan family is not planted by them, presumably they are..."

"He has become an outcast of Li Dang."

Zhu Dingbei took Ning Heng's words, rubbed his finger bones and said to himself: "Why? The Ruan family should be a chess piece that must be used in their control. What kind of conflict would make them abandon the Ruan family?"

Ning Heng said nothing, he knew that Zhu Dingbei would find the answer.

Sure enough, Zhu Dingbei's eyes lit up soon after, "Yes, the Qiang, the Xiongnu, and the Panyue Shan Kingdom in the southwest are not to be underestimated. The Li Party cooperated with them. Ningzhou is bound to become the possession of the Nanman or the Qiang people. The Ruan family should have seen this intention and refused to cooperate, so they were taught a lesson. Why, Concubine Ruan Shu in the palace is so obedient, because she doesn't know that the family is unwilling to cooperate Or does she really believe that after the emperor dies, the eldest prince will be the emperor who Li Party supports?"

This is too stupid.

In the final analysis, the emperor did not favor the women in the harem, and most of the women like Concubine Ruan Shu's status in the harem were supported by their families.

Her mother's family is all dead. How can she, a woman who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, negotiate terms with others? If she believes that her accomplices will keep their promises and therefore will never turn back, it would be too naive and ridiculous.

Ning Heng smiled and said, "There is another reason why a woman from an aristocratic family can be selfless, besides being strong as a mother."

Zhu Dingbei raised his eyebrows, motioning for him to continue talking.

Seeing that he didn't understand, Ning Heng was taken aback for a while, then smiled and gave the answer: "I'm trapped by love."

Zhu Dingbei's eyes widened, and he lowered his voice and said: "The emperor has been cuckolded?!"

Ning Heng's first reaction when he saw him couldn't help but to laugh and cry. If a concubine doesn't abide by women's morals, she can't just divorce her wife and soak in a pig cage. This is a serious crime for exterminating the nine clans.It should be shocking that Li Dang can make a man win Concubine Ruan Shu's heart, and even make her crazy about him to the point of disregarding her own children.

But knowing that he was always happy to see the emperor's misfortune, Ning Heng didn't break through his little thought, and continued: "The men that Concubine Ruan Shu can contact, except for the emperor's princes, are the Imperial Forest Army. The Emperor failed to find any suspicious people in the Imperial Forest Army. People, even if all the hidden stakes in the harem are eliminated, he will not be satisfied."

The Imperial Forest Army was closer to the emperor than the Imperial Army, and it was a trivial matter to sleep with the emperor's woman. If one day they stabbed the emperor a few times, it would be a sensation.

I am afraid that what the emperor hates the most is that as long as these members of the imperial forest army have different intentions, they can do things like assassinate the emperor by disrupting the harem.Zhu Dingbei thought to himself that the emperor might not be able to fall asleep even more.The so-called suspects who steal the ax are all thieves. If the emperor can't even trust the cronies of the imperial forest army other than the hidden guards, only he can understand the suffering.

Zhu Dingbei didn't sympathize with the emperor at all, but he still had a headache about the arrangement of the Li family.

He ordered some tea, and drew five circles on the table, "Li Dang's plan is nothing more than setting up an ambush in these five places, the army, ministers, rich, foreign enemies, and the palace."

"In the army, after the Li family will be destroyed, the Zhu family will be the first to bear the brunt. Now, the crisis of the Zhu family is temporarily lifted, and this battle will be delayed for a year or two. It is impossible for my Zhu family to use a knife on the head. As for the garrisons in other places..." He erased one of the circles and sneered: "No matter how many times he instigates rebellion, those wastes are just grasshoppers after autumn. Nothing to be afraid of."

"Zaichen, among the three provinces and six ministries, none of them is a definite target, which means that almost everyone is suspected. The traitors of the Ministry of Industry have been investigated for so long and have not confirmed who they are. The suspicious people who have been circled are almost the same now. They are all dead. The Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the Ministry of Officials must arrange capable people. If these people want to be able to do things, they are either positions above the chief director or the chief's cronies.

Zhongshu Sheng, Jia Xifu, an old man, won the emperor's heart by himself. He was a person who was brought under the emperor's command when he was the prince and then promoted. It is unlikely that he is a spy.The role of the sect under the province is nothing more than falsely conveying the holy will or simply forging the imperial decree, except for the servant Zhongling Gaohe, only the left and right servants have this ability..."

The three provinces and the six ministries analyzed them one by one, and the suspicious persons named by him thoroughly explained their life, official career, past in-laws, and finally said: "I drew up a suspicious list, Ah Heng, help me investigate them in depth."

Ning Heng was very surprised. He listened to him explaining the suspicious aspects of the senior officials above the third rank in the imperial court. He opened up about their life stories, even their reputation before becoming an official, and some relatives in their ancestral home. Only at this moment did they understand. He has not let down his vigilance against Li Dang for a day. The manpower he has trained has quietly opened a big net over the years, and he has never missed a single fish.

After the surprise, it was full of admiration and joy.

Changsheng didn't hide himself, what he revealed just now is that he absolutely can't show it in front of people - even his father and brothers are top secrets, but he said it to himself, without reservation.His outstanding ability moved Ning Heng's heart, and his trust made Ning Heng's heart burn even more.

Zhu Dingbei's face turned hot, and he felt a little embarrassed by his explicit eyes.He didn't think there was anything in the past. At that time, he thought that Ning Heng was his own brother and the only confidant who could rival him. Now that he knew Ning Heng's unspeakable thoughts, he realized that it was all bullshit. Well hidden, in fact, there are flaws everywhere.

Things in the world are hard to hide.

He coughed, turned his face away and said, "However, foreign ministers from twenty states, I'm beyond my reach, so I'll leave it to you, but investigate anyone who has the ability to cause trouble, and then plan to focus on investigating suspicious persons."

Although all the elite soldiers he trained were good players, some of them were scouts and spies who could invade the Qiang and Xiongnu royal families and complete the assassination of the enemy's leader, but they were short of manpower.Since four years ago, he has focused on all the officials in Luojing, and invested in manpower to investigate these people one by one. At that time, his eyes were still limited to the hatred in his previous life, and he wanted to find out the accomplices of the Li family. To avenge the Zhu family in the previous life and protect the family in this life. After thinking about it carefully on the isolated island, he realized that what he had gone was far from enough.

Ning Heng: "We'll discuss it again within a month."

Zhu Dingbei was not surprised at all. After in-depth investigation of the bad bank case, the Ning family found nothing. At that time, they interestingly began to screen the officials of the ruling and opposition parties.Besides, what the Ning family is doing behind the scenes is buying and selling news, so they naturally have a good grasp of the affairs inside and outside the government and the public, so it is not impossible to make a suspicious list within a month.

"In Fu, the first one is your Ning family. Such a huge property affects the whole body. Even if Li Dang wants to move, he has no other way but to start with you and the emperor. Ah Heng, be careful. However, I still think that in addition to coveting the Ning family, they must have cultivated a lot of merchants, and the Yangguang area must be closely watched. The only clues we have are the Su family and the Cheng family in Yangzhou, which have already fallen. It's been half a year, and I haven't found out a few people who are related to them..."

"I'll hurry up."

Being interrupted by Ning Heng, Zhu Dingbei was stunned for a moment, and said: "It's nothing, it's not easy to freeze three feet in a day, and it's not easy to pry it open. Take your time, anyway, the Li family and we have a battle to fight." , Hehe, when they lose their allies like the Xiongnu and Qiang people, I will see what bargaining chips they can have that I can't think of."

Ning Heng smiled, "Changsheng already has a way to deal with the Qiang and Huns?"

"Capture the thief first and capture the king, what do you think?"

Zhu Dingbei showed an inevitable smile.
