Ding Tian's Ancient Life

Ding Tian understood: "If you calculate it this way, you don't really have any...weaknesses..."

According to the regulations of the imperial court, generals who are generally leading troops abroad have their families living in Beijing. This is not only out of safety considerations, but also in the meaning of being hostages in disguise.

But Wang Zuo is a little... dangerous.

It is true that the palace is in the capital, but His Royal Highness Prince Ning is alone, similar to Ding Tian’s situation. One person is full and the whole family is not hungry. The current Concubine Ning and the second master of Ning Palace are biological mothers and children. His Royal Highness, but the relationship is very cold

Concubine Ning still wanted to seize the heir, and His Royal Highness Ning Wang did not take care of Concubine Ning.

That has become a scene in Beijing.

The second master of Prince Ning's Mansion is thirteen this year, and he is at the age of rebellion. If you don't study hard all day long, if you don't practice martial arts well, you can't practice martial arts well, His Royal Highness Ning Wang doesn't care, but it makes Princess Ning feel better. stuffy.

If he really had any serious thoughts in the north, even if he cut Concubine Ning and her son into pieces in Beijing, it would be useless.

You said people in the capital, can you not worry.

"Well, that's what it means. Originally, the emperor's uncle wanted me to stay here for five or six years...but now he doesn't dare to let me stay here for so long, because he is afraid that I will be framed. Somebody came to give me a New Year's gift, and then discuss with me how to go back. I have suffered a lot in the past three or four years, and I can't go back in disgrace, ha ha..." Wang Zuo said cheerfully: "I don't care about others, only the emperor uncle, he is a person who treats me sincerely. If he hadn't protected me back then, I'm afraid I wouldn't have grown up."

He is a son of the royal family, he can read and write, and practice martial arts, so why would he care about the tricks of the women in the backyard?

It was still the emperor's uncle who felt that it was inappropriate, so he sent a nanny who was of high grade, means and heart in the palace to cooperate with his nanny to grow up in the backyard to protect him. three points.

Ding Tian still has a little curiosity about His Majesty the Emperor. In later generations, he has seen the emperor played by an actor, the real emperor...and seen it on the news, but it is someone else's emperor.

I used to only see the emperors of the Qing Dynasty in old photos, not the emperors of the "Qing Dynasty".

Besides, those were all dead emperors, alive...he had never seen any of them.

It's a bit like the mentality of going to see giant pandas. Of course, emperors are definitely rarer than giant pandas.

There are at least a few thousand giant pandas in the whole country, tens of thousands or something, but the emperor has only one in the whole country... even fewer than giant pandas.

Even in later generations, how many emperors are there in the whole world?

It was agreed to go to the capital to see, but they can't leave for a while, Wang Zuo reckons, next summer, right?It's good to be able to walk.

Ding Tian was completely disappointed with the efficiency of this era.

On the contrary, the days went by day by day. When the winter moon entered, some officials came to Beichong Mansion, and came to Beifeng Mansion to meet His Highness King Ning, and Wang Zuo took them to Beidaying.

And on the days when it can be frozen, Ding Tian’s family purchased a large number of cattle and sheep to eat meat, as well as a hundred meat geese sent by the caravan entrusted by the second and third uncles of the Ding family. Big goose, the best thing to eat.

So the family sent him a hundred frozen hard meat geese, all of which had been slaughtered, as long as they were brought back and melted, chopped and stewed, they could be eaten.

You don't even have to pluck the hair.

Wang Zuo went out to work for another half a month before he came back. At this time, it was snowing lightly in the sky, and the cold north wind was blowing, and the pedestrians on the street were much less. There was already a hot stewed goose with sauerkraut waiting for him to eat, a big pot of stewed goose with sauerkraut, plus a big pot of corn flour pancakes, this was their dinner.

The place to eat is not Ding Tian's house, but the Governor's Mansion, because the Governor's Mansion not only has stewed goose with sauerkraut, they also grow small green vegetables here, and they have a superb cook, why doesn't Ding Tian come?

Wang Zuo didn't get tired of eating the meals he made himself. He was tired of eating them, so he came here to have two meals to improve his taste.

The two sat facing each other. Wang Zuo was very experienced and picked up two goose thighs for Ding Tian. Ding Tian also naturally picked two goose wings for Wang Zuo to put in a bowl. Started to eat: "Are you done with your work over there?"

"Those are all people from the imperial court who came to negotiate, and they are all masters of land scraping. This time, they must scrape off a layer of land on the grassland." Wang Zuo gloated, "Not only do we want war horses, cattle and sheep, but also people outside the customs." The prairie of a hundred miles of land expands a hundred miles

Even if Lidi cannot be used to cultivate land, at least a large barracks must be built. It just so happens that Niujiao County is going to be expanded into a pass. "

"Wouldn't that expand the territory by a hundred miles?" Ding Tian was suddenly surprised: "It's a big happy event!"

"Yes!" Wang Zuole said: "It's a big credit, so I didn't go to the negotiation, but stayed at home with you to eat sauerkraut stewed goose

"

"What?" Ding Tian's expression froze: "This...are they bullying people?"

"It's not bullying." Wang Zuo is quite open-minded: "I am in this position, there is nothing to seal, and I don't want to take advantage of my younger brother. In the future... I will find a solution to the issue of the heir. In short, I can say anything now." It will not be contaminated by merit, and it is also a way to protect yourself, and the emperor's uncle can't help it!"

These days, it is not easy to talk about the master of high meritorious deeds. An emperor must also protect his subordinates. Otherwise, why did Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, not go to the battlefield after destroying Ji Li Khan?That's Tang Taizong's protection for him, because his contribution is too high, the Duke of the Kingdom is already the top of the Tang Dynasty's title, no king with a different surname, and there are villains who slander him, Tang Taizong has done his best to Li Jing Protected to the greatest extent possible, and given him the position of a civil servant. . . .

Guo Ziyi, who also helped the country and rebuilt the Tang royal family, was not so lucky.

Repel Tubo and return to Chang'an; persuade Huihe to defeat Tubo again; subdue rebel generals and pacify Hedong.He has been a soldier and horse all his life, and he has made outstanding achievements.

But he also struggled in the officialdom, and even his ancestors' graves were dug up!

"That's right, we don't care about that little credit, eat, eat!" Ding Tian figured it out, the ancient officialdom was different from the modern one.

There are still laws and regulations in modern times, and they dare to give you shuanggui at every turn. In this era, where can you find shuanggui?

Only one Bao Qingtian came out of Qiangu.

"Well, these days over there, I don't eat well, and I'm not in a good mood. It's better to come back and be with you. Tomorrow, I will ask someone to make steamed dumplings filled with beef and chives, and cook some millet porridge..."

The two of them changed the subject and talked about some household matters. The atmosphere was warm and the night was sweet again. The next day Ding Tian rested and didn't get up, but Wang Zuo fed him breakfast.

"What's for dinner?" In the winter, Ding Tian could only eat two meals. Ding Tian was sleeping under the blanket, enjoying Wang Zuo's care, and thinking about what to eat for dinner at the same time.

"I think the big goose you ate yesterday was good. Why don't you make a big goose tonight?" Wang Zuo put the porridge bowl back in his hand: "How about putting some dried beans and potatoes in it?"

"Okay!" Ding Tian nodded: "Steam some flower rolls...."

It was sunny outside today, Ding Tian lay on the pit and rolled for a long time before getting up, went outside with Wang Zuo and saw a white snow field, the snow was as deep as the calf: "Why don't you build a snowman?"

"Okay!" Wang Zuo nodded, "Actually, since I'm so old, I played two snowball fights with you last year. I saw other people making snowmen, but I didn't make them myself..."

"Then build it together, let me tell you, we can also make an ice slide..." Ding Tian said enthusiastically, "Let's build two snowmen and build an ice slide..."

In this cold weather, there are no activities, Ding Tian can only find fun for himself, bring Wang Zuo, let him experience the fun in winter.

"Those are things for children, right?" Wang Zuo hesitated, he was already an adult in his 20s.

It will be thirty in a few years, and the average person should be a grandfather after the age of 30...

"I'll give you things you didn't play with when you were young!" Ding Tian said cheerfully, "We want to play while we are still young, and when we are seventy or eighty, we can only lie on the rocking chair and sit around the fire. Dangling and dozing off, I can’t play even if I want to!,,

Wang Zuo was taken aback for a moment, and then a happy smile appeared on his face: "Well, okay, I listen to you..."

So, the two of them did nothing that day, they built two snowmen, while Wang Fugui and Bai San'er froze ice, and under Ding Tian's guidance, they built an ice slide, not too big, but novel enough.

Even Wang Zuo went up to skate several times. Although he has grown up, but unfortunately, this guy lacks love and childhood since he was a child, but he sang happily, which made Wang Fugui and the others dumbfounded.

Even counselors like Meng Xianchen and Leng Bieli couldn't believe it.

Liu Wenbin asked Meng Xianchen in a low voice: "Have you seen such a prince?"

Meng Xianchen shook his head: "I've never seen..."

Leng parted and sighed: "My lord has never been so happy. In fact, the greatest role of Lord Ding is to make him feel at ease, like an ordinary person, with joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys."

The previous prince was too mature and lacked vitality, but the current prince is still smooth, sophisticated and ruthless, but he is becoming more and more like a normal young man.

After playing enough, the sun is also westward. When we entered the house, the two of them went to take a shower. There was no way, it was too cold outside.

In a super large tub, Ding Tian poured a large pot of hot water into the bath water with great effort: "Others think that bathing is so fragrant, but we two are pitiful. We have to heat the water ourselves when taking a bath."

"I said someone would come in to wait on you, but you said it was awkward..." Wang Zuo had a bath towel rolled up in his hand, and was trying his best to rub Ding Tian's back. God is sorry, he has bathed Ding Tian alone in his life.

"It's just awkward!" Ding Tian obediently lay on his stomach and asked someone to rub his back: "I'll rub your back in a while, you are mine, I don't want others to see you... Humph!"

"Won't there be a piece of meat missing?" Wang Zuo's insistence on Ding Tian was inexplicable.

Ding Tian turned around and rubbed his back: "Two people take a bath, called a mandarin duck bath, three people take a bath... and bring a scrubber? It's not a bathhouse."

He just has such persistence!

Wang Zuo couldn't laugh or cry: "Happy as you want!"

In fact, thinking about it, if someone else gave Ding Tian a bath... well, he wouldn't be happy either.

The two of them took a shower, dried their hair after going out, changed their clothes, and then ate dinner, but before the meal was finished, someone came to report: An angel will arrive tomorrow!

"The people sent by Beijing at this time can only come to give New Year's gifts!" Wang Zuo waved his hand to show that he knew, and asked Ding Tian:

"You go to work tomorrow, I'm at home."

"Oh, be careful yourself." Ding Tian is also a person who has seen "angels" several times, and he is no longer the one who was curious when he picked up an imperial decree.

Because of taking a bath that day and eating late, Ding Tian didn't go back to live with him, but lived in the governor's mansion. When he woke up in the morning, before he got dressed, Wang Fugui yelled at the top of his voice: " My lord! My lord! The angel has arrived at the door!"

Ding Tian was immediately delighted: "Isn't it too early to wake up?"

"It's you who got up late." Wang Zuo pulled him over, put on his hat and covered his hands, "Come on, follow me to the door."

At this time, Ding Tian wanted to leave, but it was too late.
