Better to live forever [Rebirth]

【Ningwei Changsheng Extra Story · Empress Dowager Chapter】

When Ning Zhao was born, it was said that there was auspiciousness from heaven, and it was even recorded in the local county annals for people to praise.Although the county annals were later destroyed in the war, it did cause a sensation in the whole city at that time.

According to Ning Zhao himself, it can only be said that his mother gave birth to him at the right time - at that time, there was continuous heavy rain in Guangzhou and the floods were severe, the imperial court's disaster relief actions were slow, officials were exploited layer by layer, and the crying people organized to go there every day. The Dragon King Temple on the mountain begged for forgiveness.But when Ning Zhao was born, the clouds and the sun were visible, and the colorful rainbow fell from the sky and landed in the southeast of Ninghai City.

And Ning Zhao was born at exactly this time, neither a moment earlier nor a moment later.

Of course, in that kind of suffering, who would pay attention to who gave birth to a baby.Therefore, Ning Zhao believes that his auspicious reputation in the first 12 years is due to his father's clever mind.

Master Ning is not an ordinary person, first of all, he is the richest and richest person in the city, and secondly, he is the brother-in-law of the city lord of Ninghai.He relied on his family to marry the younger sister of the city lord, who successfully stepped on the city lord's original wife, and successfully left the business. Although he was still in business, he still used the sign of the official family.With this relationship with the city lord, Master Ning put a lot of mythology on the birth of his son, successfully pleasing the county magistrate who was facing the account of the disaster relief after the fall, and publicized this deed. Successfully diverted the attention of the superiors and achieved a win-win result.

Although Ning Zhao has memories of his previous life, he, a geoarchaeologist who traveled across from the Great Heavenly Dynasty, couldn't understand why his birth had such a big influence at first.

It wasn't until he was three years old that he finally figured out that the current emperor was a handsome man who only loved to ask immortals and ask questions, and he liked to hear things like heaven's auspicious omens the most.It is said that by virtue of his birth, Guangzhou Fuzhou Mu received a compliment from His Majesty the Emperor and a piece of beautiful jade, and personally gave him a name, which means light.As for the bankers and the people affected by the flood in Guangzhou Prefecture?The gods haven't saved him yet, the emperor has become an immortal. The life and death of these people is just a cycle of cause and effect. The emperor threatened to stop the worldly affairs and concentrate on entering the Tao without even asking.

Since then, Ning Zhao has studied hard.

He has no ambition to change this sick society and absurd government situation, he just wants to give himself a chance, not to be an inferior person who is slaughtered by others.In this way, there was an extra sentence in the county annals: Xiangrui Zizhao, who knew a thousand characters at the age of three, could write poems as soon as he spoke them.

When he was six years old, his father, Master Ning, took two sips of wine and happily hugged him and said, "Zhaoer, my good son, I will rely on you for the rest of my life. When you grow up, I will donate money to you." An official, honoring the ancestors. Dad is willing to spend money for my son, 1000 taels, 1000 taels of gold, and we will be county magistrates, officials who are bigger than the city lord."

Master Ning is a light drinker, and the lock on his mouth loosened after drinking.

So Ning Zhao asked him: "I take the imperial examination, is it different?"

Master Ning burst into tears and hugged him tightly: "Father's good son, I can't let you go to the capital, it's a place where people eat people. I can buy other officials for you. We don't take the imperial examination, we can't take the exam." ..."

Ning Zhao understood that the corruption of officials in this dynasty had exceeded his imagination.

Ning Zhao was shocked, and locked himself in the room thinking about the future. Three days later, he finally walked out of the room.Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Ning almost didn't hug him and called him ancestors, she agreed without blinking when she heard that he wanted goose feathers and sheepskin. Lock yourself in your room and do anything.

Ning Zhao spent a whole month in his father's study, recalling all the geological information in his mind and drawing it into a map.When he arrived in South America, Master Ning asked him curiously: "My dear son, what kind of painting is this?"

"It's not painting." Ning Zhao looked up, "Father, I want to go into business." Master Ning was furious, and threw Ning Zhao's parchment and quill all into the brazier. This was the first time he lost his temper with his precious son.But Ning Zhao has been upright since he was a child. Once he decided that he would not be able to bring back any bulls, Master Ning finally cried bitterly.

The son of the clever and auspicious auspiciousness wants to go into business?

Master Ning kept this matter secret from the outside world. At that time, the low status of the businessman was one of the reasons. He couldn't pass the test of the city lord and the county magistrate.So since then, he has brought his eldest son with him to train him every day, showing that the family business will be inherited by the eldest son in the future, in order to break Ning Zhao's thoughts.Ning Zhao didn't care, he stopped studying, and took two young men out every day, often staying for a whole day.

Master Ning is not at ease, the world is very chaotic, he is afraid of encountering robbers even in front of his own house, let alone on the streets of the three religions.He raised his son carefully for six years, and the cute Yuxue he gave birth to was always worried that he would be snatched away by gangsters in the blink of an eye. Mistake.

After half a month, the housekeeper told him that the young master was observing those poor people.

The world is full of poor people. The poor people mentioned by the housekeeper are worse than the poor people without wealth in the ordinary sense. They are refugees and lowly people. If they dare to raise their heads on the street, they will be insulted and pointed at.

Master Ning never understood his son's thoughts. He thought it was his son's way of protesting against him.He originally wanted to hold his breath and gritted his teeth, but when the housekeeper told him in fear that his precious son no longer waited and watched, but contacted those people and talked to them, he panicked and compromised.

Ning Zhao was carefully invited back by him, and he was still surprised when he said that he would teach himself personally. It didn't come to him until he heard his father say not to have any contact with those refugees.

Ning Zhao said, "Father, I want to pay for some porridge for them."

Master Ning was almost paralyzed with fright, he said: "Son, you must never have such thoughts again, otherwise, our family will not have to live."

Ning Zhao was taken aback.

Master Ning told him that there was a good man who did this before.But those refugees are holes that cannot be filled. Once they donate a meal of porridge, they wait for a second meal. Without a second meal, they will not give up.They would kneel and beg at the door of the house until the third meal and the fourth meal.When you can't afford the money, they will join the rogues, break into the house and kill the owner, and take the money, food and rice for themselves.

This is the real thing, it happened half a year ago, in Gaoliang County next door.

Ning Zhao wondered why there are such ungrateful people in the world.

Master Ning sighed and patted his head. His son was born with a three-point soft heart than others. He always took care of the servants at home, asked for medicine when he was sick, and sent spirits to the elderly. Everyone said that he was the reincarnation of a good son.But to live, you can’t just be kind. He told his son: "The world is too difficult. If they don’t have enough to eat, they will die. If others die, they can live. They will definitely choose to live by themselves. Do you understand?"

Ning Zhao nodded, thoughtfully.

He studied business with Mr. Ning for four years, during which Mr. Ning also tasted a lot of sweetness. Although he still refused to let him show his face, he was happy to let him advise on the family business behind his back.

Ning Zhao still walks around from time to time. When he was 11 years old, many families from the north moved into the city to visit relatives.He learned from them that the old emperor who was obsessed with pills was finally going to die.

He asked Master Ning for fifty young men, and a month later, carrying a box of gold into the door frightened his father so much that he fell off his chair.

"This this this..."

Master Ning pointed at the big box full of gold and trembled, the little eyes on his fat face had never opened so wide.

"Father, don't ask me where I came from." Ning Zhao said, he remembered very deeply the matter that Mr. Ning burned his parchment, so he never took out the parchment that was left over from that year.Now he didn't intend to explain, but said with a small face: "There is going to be a war, father, let's leave here and go to Sichuan, or to the sea."

"My dear son... are you dazed?"

Master Ning's shrewd face rarely showed confusion.

Ning Zhao buckled the golden box, stood on the box and looked straight at Master Ning.He said: "The vassal kings in the north have already begun to clear the king's side, and the king of Guangjun will not wait too long. He has squeezed so much money by buying and selling officials and extorting miscellaneous taxes over the years, so he will not do nothing."

"Why is this?"

"Because the old emperor is going to be poisoned to death by cinnabar, they have to get rid of the traitors before the old emperor dies, otherwise it will be treason. They all said that the emperor won't live this year."

Master Ning looked solemn.

The ancients gave birth early, Mr. Ning married his wife at the age of 15, and Ning Zhao, who was born at the age of 30, is considered an old man. Mr. Ning's official wife was rejected by her in-laws all her life, and finally relied on him for a while.Ning Zhao has two compatriots and concubine brothers who have tasted the sweetness of married women. Master Ning is looking forward to his daughter, but unfortunately he does not have this blessing.These two sons are both seven or eight years older than Ning Zhao. Originally, they would not have a good relationship with each other, but Ning Zhao is the son of Xiangrui and Master Ning's confidant. Both concubine brothers know that he will not inherit the family business and has no interests. Dispute is actually a cute and smart brother, and the two have always loved and cared for him.

Master Ning has slowly handed over the family business to the two concubines. After hearing Ning Zhao's words, he tossed and turned all night, and the next day he made a decision—he began to let the two sons who were in charge take back the foreign accounts. , Once the situation is not right, immediately flee to Shuzhong.

But the old emperor was unexpectedly hard-pressed, and he survived for a year, until the autumn when Ning Zhao was 12 years old and still saw nothing.

The king of Guangjun rebelled.

Originally, he had been standing still, because he wanted to wait for those stupid vassals in the north to clean up the old emperor's subordinates, and then join hands with Prince Yang to create a campaign to label the northern vassals as a rebel, and let them put down the rebellion.But if he doesn't do anything now, the capital will be taken, so he can't wait.
