Ding Tian's Ancient Life

In the previous dynasty, because eunuchs monopolized power and monopolized the court, relatives made troubles, and the people were in dire straits.

In addition, there are many foreign enemies, the north is always in turmoil, and there are many heroes between the white mountains and the black waters. The Emperor Taizu and the eight righteous brothers revolted at the last moment. The first thing to deal with was not the former dynasty, but the foreign enemies.

After the foreign enemies retreated, they only used troops internally. In fact, it didn’t take much to kill them. It was because the internal corruption had reached a certain level. Arrived at Daqing's thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

The eight iron hat kings are:

The Chen family of Hong Wang, the Wang family of Ning Wang, the Qin family of An Wang, and the Li family of Ding Wang;

The Zhang family of Xuan Wang, the Liu family of Rong Wang, the Zhao family of Chen Wang, and the Sun family of Bin Wang.

It is said that when they were sworn brothers, the founding emperor was Xiao Jiu, the youngest younger brother. These eight righteous brothers protected him very well on the battlefield and saved him more than once. This friendship is higher than the sky.

Therefore, after he became the emperor, Xu Zhu's brothers and sisters, iron hat kings, will be hereditary and will not be executed even if they commit treason.

At the same time, in the earliest days, the eight iron hat kings controlled more than [-]% of the army of the imperial court, expanding the territory for the imperial court, and fighting endlessly. Back then, eight kings with different surnames led the army and killed the barbarians.

This made Daqing breathe a sigh of relief when it was first established, and slowly restore the dilapidated and withered livelihood of the people caused by the previous dynasty

However, that was already the old Huangli during the founding of the country, and now after three generations of emperors, the military power of the eight iron hat kings is gone, or, in the third generation of emperors, because of their young age, the eight iron hat kings were afraid of the little emperor , so they all handed over their military power, put on an attitude of enjoying themselves, and won the trust of the little emperor

Although the military power is gone, but after the little emperor grows up, he still favors the Ba Family very much.

The emperor of this generation is Emperor Yongqing, who is said to be a very kind emperor, and Emperor Yongqing's father, the first emperor, in Ding Tian's view, is a bit like Kangxi, who also ascended the throne when he was a child and was in charge of the government, but The first emperor was much luckier than Kangxi.

Because although the first emperor's parents died, he had two reliable relatives, and eight princes with different surnames were loyal to him.

It was because after he married his wife, he returned to power smoothly, and when he handed over the power, there was no trouble.

So much so that the country was peaceful and the people were safe for many years in the Qing Dynasty, and only then did they accumulate a solid family background. Only when they came to Emperor Yongqing, could they cope with the three-year war. Otherwise, the national treasury might not be able to afford it.

Ding Tian can know so much, thanks to the fact that he is working in the government office these days, and he has heard from Old Uncle Zheng, don't worry about Xiaoxiao's endless chatter, but he really knows a lot about some old calendars.

Although what he said was not very clear, and some things were mostly folklore, but Ding Tian synthesized what he saw, heard stories told by scholars, and combined with some things in the memory of the original owner, he can basically figure it out Here's the ins and outs.

The things about the Eight Iron Hat Kings and the Founding Emperor have been eulogized for more than 100 years. The greater the fame, the more the kings with different surnames dare not act rashly. It is not easy to build a good reputation, and it only takes a moment to destroy it.

But Ding Tian never expected that Wang Zuo was actually King Ning!

At this time, he remembered that every time those people spoke, they always said "My lord..." and they probably wanted to call "My lord", but now Wang Zuo is an official, not a lord, so they are also awkward It's on.

And the governor of Northeast China he served as the governor of the Northeast was in charge of the local area and the generals of the three prefectures and the governor of Fengtian. A powerful prince.

The other kings with different surnames are now three or four generations later, not to mention rich clothes and fine food, they are also raised as pampered and domineering, and they no longer have the style of their ancestors.

Those part-time jobs, on the other hand, were originally intended to be written on wooden signs for people to hold up and walk in front of the guard of honor. Well, many people inserted the signs into the yard like a revolving lantern.

The full names of each one are very long: Wang Ning, Prince Taifu, Grand Master of Wuyingdian, Minister of the Ministry of War, Rewarding Golden Winged Black Shampoo v Wearing Golden Thread Tuanlong Clothes...

Anyway, if he wanted to go out, it was only a dozen or so who reported the sign in front of the guard of honor.

As soon as they go out, they are like a wedding party, beating gongs and drums everywhere. Seeing this posture, Ding Tian always wants to tell people that he doesn't know this person!

Ding Tian secretly walked backwards, trying to leave here quietly, but Leng Bieli put on a serious face, grabbed his arm with one hand, and pushed him forward again.

Ding Tian: "...!!!"

Although there were many people, he was quite concerned among the crowd. Many people looked at him, and Ding Tian was so awkward.

I don't know what Wang Zuo said, but anyway, the eunuch delivering the decree turned into a flower with a smile. He led six young eunuchs and walked in behind Wang Zuo, while the others were entertained by the prefect Du.

When Wang Zuo passed by Ding Tian, ​​he also grabbed him in his hand and dragged him inside.

"Who is this?" The eunuch was rather curious, thinking that King Ning was a famous cold-faced prince in the capital. People in Wangfu and Ningwangfu didn't dare to pierce.

Concubine Ning's natal brothers were all beaten by him on the spot. Thinking about it now, everyone still trembles, no one can afford to offend this one.

But it looks like the two are friends?

Whoops!

This is big news, can this person still have friends?

Only a few kings with different surnames and a few generals dared to discuss friendship with his peers. The Minister of the Household Department avoided him when he saw him, because King Ning always suspected that the Minister of the Household Department was corrupt... and no evidence was found.

Hubu Shangshu would complain to the emperor every time.

"This is Prison Ding." Wang Zuo only mentioned Ding Tian's position.

"Ding Tian." Ding Tian cupped his hands and looked into the eunuch's eyes, which were clear and bright, without any disdain, let alone the intention of clinging to him.

This made the eunuch feel very good about him.

"Mi Ying^" the eunuch also followed Ding Tian's example and gave his name.

Then Ding Tian called out naturally: "Master Mi."

Wang Zuo gave him a strange look, but Ding Tian didn't feel anything, but Mi Ying laughed immediately: "Ding Si prison

Ding Tian's position is too low, so he can only be called "Ding Si prison" instead of "Master Ding".

In formal official occasions, the title of "adult" can only be called "adult" if it is at least a chief official.

The lowest one has to be a county magistrate to be called "Master County Magistrate", because he is in charge of all matters in a county, and even the county magistrate cannot be called "Master".

Ding Tian's rank is a little lower than that of the county magistrate....

But he called Mi Ying "Master", this is treating Mi Ying as the same person, it is definitely not an attitude of discrimination against him who is a survivor of punishment, and it makes Mi Ying happy.

Wang Zuo didn't quite understand why Ding Tian was so nice to Mi Ying?

What he can be sure of is that Ding Tian has absolutely no idea of ​​Mi Ying's identity, because the two are incompatible, one is in the capital and the other is in the border.

Even relatives and friends will never interact.

Then it can only be said that Ding Tian's luck is simply too good.

"Ding Prison is here?" Mi Ying looked at Ding Tian, ​​because Ding Tian's official position was weak, he might not be within the scope of receiving the order.

Who are those who don't look like?

"He came to see me." Wang Zuou said quite proudly: "He even gave me a jar of caviar!

Mi Ying's eyeballs almost fell down: "What?"

The voices of surprise became louder, and many people looked over... Although they walked in the front and the people behind were not close, they also heard Mi Ying's exclamation.

"What's wrong?" Ding Tian looked inexplicably at the surprised Mi Ying who couldn't even hide it.

Mi Ying coughed lightly: "It's nothing, our family made a fuss."

I don't think so in my heart!

Ding Tian was one of the few people in the group who could enter Wang Zuo's living room for entertaining guests. When the others came in, Wang Fugui served a cup of tea alone. The... Farewell.

For the first time, Ding Tian saw the real live version of "serving tea and seeing off guests" in ancient times.

When Du Zhifu left, his back was straight, and he smiled at Ding Tian, ​​which is called kindness... Anyway, the eyes are very connotative.

When everyone left, there were only three sitting people left: Wang Zuo, Ding Tian and Mi Ying.

Wang Zuo looked at Wang Fugui who was standing waiting for others: "Have you ordered me to go on?"

Ding Tian would not understand this nonsensical question, but Wang Fugui, as Wang Zuo's regular follower, could immediately understand what Wang Zuo said.

"I have already ordered that there are beef cattle in the kitchen, and I have fed them tendons." Wang Fugui said, "Get dumplings in the car and get noodles in the car. Tonight's staple food is a bowl of egg noodles."

Wang Zuo was satisfied, Ding Tian glanced at Wang Fugui in admiration, his guess was accurate.

Mi Ying said with a smile: "When we left Beijing, the emperor asked our family to bring a lot of things, saying that you are suffering in the bitter cold here, you can't eat, you can't eat well, and you must be uncomfortable when you sleep. Afraid that you will suffer from toothache again in spring, I brought a lot of dried vegetables, fungus, white fungus, etc., to cook porridge for you to get rid of the anger and heat in spring."

"Your majesty is really... still so worrying, I've grown up." Wang Zuo smiled, with a hint of love in his smile.

warmth.

"The emperor said that in his eyes, no matter how old he is, he is still that child." Mi Ying also took out a thick envelope and handed it to Wang Zuo: "This is a private letter from the emperor."

Now those who stay here are all "our own people", so Mi Ying handed over this letter.

If there is an outsider, he will not take it out.

If it is a private message, it is inconvenient for Wang Zuo to read it here, but he still wants to read it right away, so he went to the study, leaving Ding Tian to accompany Mi Ying, and Wang Fugui quickly served several snacks and hot tea for the two of them. .

Mi Ying saw that Wang Fugui was the only one serving here, and the guards were standing in the yard, so she immediately changed her face, and asked Ding Tian a little wretchedly: "Did you really send food to His Highness King Ning?"

Ding Tian was taken aback: "Yes!"

"My God!" Mi Ying clutched her chest: "Did you know? His Royal Highness Prince Ning never eats food given by others, even the ingredients are not used."

"No?" Ding Tian looked at Wang Fuzhi, and found that Wang Fugui was pretending to be a wooden man, and he didn't give him any hints, but he couldn't help but say, so he said honestly: "I think he... Ning Wang Your Highness is easy to get along with, he is not picky about what he eats, and he even hunts and gives me prey."

Mi Ying looked at him like an "alien": "Are you sure you are talking about His Royal Highness Ning?"

"Isn't it?" Ding Tian took a piece of walnut cake and bit off half of it in one bite. He was a little hungry: "I didn't ask me for big fish or meat, nor did I ask for delicacies from mountains and seas, just some ordinary meals."

"Really?" Mi Ying didn't quite believe it: "You know, His Royal Highness King Ning was established as the eldest son when he was a child, Princess Ning died early, and the one that King Ning married later... also gave birth to a boy Son, it depends on His Royal Highness Ning's dislike. For so many years, His Highness Ning has suffered a lot. Of course, that woman has also been punished by His Highness Ning. It was not until the old King Ning passed away and His Highness Ning ascended the throne that she became honest. , but the little tricks continued, the emperor reprimanded him several times for this, and only then did King Ning grow up safely. When His Highness King Ning was a child, the old mothers around him were all sent by the palace, as well as guards and chief guards. , are all in charge of the Imperial Army.”

Ding Tian nodded: "I understand."

Needless to say, it must be a very twists and turns... a house fight drama.
