[Zhu Ning] For the sake of the country

Come on, the little one is going to see King Ning's real face. It is said that Lord Qiantui is drinking in the Duzui Building. "After speaking, he disappeared immediately.

Lord Long Live and the real Lord Thousand Years looked at each other, stuffed half a steamed stuffed bun into their mouths, King Ning bulged on one side of his cheek, and Zhu Houzhao also stuffed a steamed stuffed bun with the same stuffing, which improved the meager food for more than ten days. After speaking, the two exchanged tacit eye contact and decided to go to Duzuilou to have a look.

The Duzui Building is in the east of the city. At the moment, the inner, third and outer floors are surrounded by crowds. Ji Rong and Shan Zhou were ordered by the king to come out to listen to the people in the market. Head looked around.

"Brother Shan, here is another toast to you." Ji Rong was dressed as a rich and noble man, not letting go of this great opportunity to perform official duties and drink for fun. King Ning's confidant in front of him was dressed in white, suave and cunning, and he looked like a man at the same time. A person with a bad schedule.

"Your Majesty Ji is too polite, and I respect you." It is rare for Shan Zhou to be able to drink with the commander. According to legend, Ji Rong's face is like a yaksha, his voice is like a bell, and he kills people like hemp. Today, the rumors are too false. Ji Rong looks like a scholar, not only has no airs, but also has no choice but to work hard to make a living.

The downstairs was crowded with people, Ji Rong and Shan Zhou only felt that more and more people gathered downstairs, they couldn't help but look suspicious, a burst of unrestrained laughter came from the adjacent elegant room, "Ah, King Ning!" Someone in the crowd shouted, Everyone echoed.

The elegant room is connected, separated by a hollow screen in the middle. Hearing this sentence, Shan Zhou and Ji Rong looked for laughter, and when they saw the real person, they turned their heads stiffly.

"King Ning" is not tall, sitting in the elegant room with a heroic posture, holding a folding fan, looking at the streets in the city proudly, Zhu Houzhao and King Ning came downstairs, looked up, the man on the second floor was wearing light-colored clothes Robe, and a crown of good wings covering the top of the head, it's not that he doesn't know who it is.

I don't know how to see the two people standing straight out of place in the crowd, and smiled even more heartily, "The king has important things to do, so let's go first!" After saying that, he left, brushed off his clothes, and walked away.

The official office in the city, Zhu Houzhao, and King Ning, did not understand that the three of them took their seats in the main hall. Ji Rong and Shan Zhou came back to return to their orders, saw this scene, and left after a few words.

"Teacher, why are you here?" Zhu Houzhao took off his disguise and resumed his imperial attire.

"I miss you. It's New Year's Eve soon. I'll take you back to the capital." Bu Bu packed a jar of good wine from Duzuilou, which has not yet been opened, and he played with the jar.

Zhu Houzhao asked again, "Then why do you want to look like King Ning?"

I didn't understand and looked at King Ning with a bad expression, "It's fun, if I didn't pretend to be King Ning, would you guys come to see me so soon? I'm afraid that the emperor will go hunting, camping and patrolling..." I don't understand dark It means that King Ning took Zhu Houzhao only to play and not to return to the capital, with bad intentions. "Isn't that right? King Ning?" He didn't understand the brisk tone, and turned his head to look directly at King Ning.

King Ning sneered, he was actually deceived by ignorance. If he had known this, he would have known that someone pretended to be him and killed him directly.Presumably he knew that the emperor had been away from the capital for a long time, did not care about political affairs, ignored military power, and was sick, so he rushed here to protect the emperor's safety. His loyalty is commendable. Thinking of this, King Ning felt dizzy and had a headache. , the wind-cold that had already recovered seemed to be attacking again, he no longer couldn't understand, turned his face away, and rubbed his forehead with his fingers.

"Taifu is far away, and he hasn't washed the wind and dust for you yet," Zhu Houzhao interceded, "Come, I'll order someone to prepare a banquet for you."

"Okay, okay, let's eat together!" I didn't know how to hook Zhu Houzhao's upper arm. Although Zhu Houzhao had tasted a whole city of snacks, he knew that I didn't know what to do, so he had to be led away by him, lingering on the side of King Ning's forehead while walking look.

As night fell, a corner of the official office was brightly lit, and Zhu Houzhao and Zhu Houzhao set up a table full of delicacies, "Let's say it first, I won't waste people's money, I will pay for this meal," Bu Buzhi pointed to himself.

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile, "I can still afford a meal."

"Then I won't be polite!" Don't know how to drive for days, eat and sleep in the open, already famished, and hastily swept away the dinner plate, "Teacher, eat slowly!"

"You can't be slow! I have a lot of things to tell you..." Zhu Houzhao replied without knowing the gap, and it took a long time for Zhu Houzhao to understand his words, and the smile on his face gradually faded.

King Ning sat in front of the table in the inner room, closed his eyes and rested his mind. When he came back to return to his command, he saw the dim light covering Ning Wang's jade-like face. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he slowly opened his closed eyes, "I'm back!" .”

Shan Zhou knelt down and saluted, "My lord."

"How?" Ning Wang was a little less energetic, and his tone was a little soft.

"Ji Rong has not replied yet, he is loyal to the emperor and will not do anything to the second master, but he also hinted that he will never be an enemy of the prince." Shan Zhou whispered.

King Ning let out a long sigh. He stood up, put his hands behind his back, looked at the Qiansha lampshade, and said after a long time, "Go down." Today, sending Shan Zhou to talk to Ji Rong is actually to win over the man who controls the world's trends. If the other party has no intention of surrendering, they have no choice but to give up temporarily. Not only is Ji Rong absolutely loyal, but he even rushes to escort him if he doesn't understand.Today, the two of them walked together in the city, but they didn't see any hidden guards around Zhu Houzhao. Did they still trust him, or did they see through his temptations and cast doubts? After getting along with Zhu Houzhao for a long time, he is no longer as pure and innocent as he used to be. The mind became more and more unpredictable, and the more King Ning thought about it, the more painful his head became. If this opportunity is missed, it may be difficult. King Ning originally wanted to instigate Wala to take the opportunity to attack when Zhu Houzhao was critically ill. The best candidate, when the military power is in hand, the troops of the military department are also deployed, coercing the emperor to attack the enemy or commanding the capital, all the power in the world is in his hands, but now the situation is reversed, the good opportunity is missed, and the people around Zhu Houzhao have no opportunity to take advantage of it. In a dead end, King Ning groaned, and that Hasa was an idiot, and he failed to do anything well, but he couldn't shrink back at the critical moment. Thinking of this, his anger surged up, but his forehead hurt, and King Ning immediately frowned. Double eyebrows, constantly rubbing the forehead.

After dinner, I don’t understand and Zhu Houzhao paced to the dormitory together under the tight security outside the Jinyiwei. It was the joy after a long absence. He pulled Zhu Houzhao into the room, closed the doors and windows, and then said proudly, "During the time you were not in the capital, the emperor, I have helped you implement the new rules and regulations on taxation and taxation. Pulling the Sixth Ministry of the Cabinet, taking three steps and one step back, arguing with those old foxes in the court and throwing hooligans, I am exhausted. Anyway, you are not here, and they can’t write a letter of impeachment and complain. The cabinet is old and cunning. , Now it’s the twelfth lunar month, and all the chief ministers have handed over the annual evaluation of officials, taxes and finances to the imperial court, and I have already compiled them into a book for you, please read it by the emperor.” The last sentence was obviously frivolous, and he held it out. It was a volume of booklets, and imitated the gesture of a court lady to offer tea. I think I have been in the palace for a long time these days, and I drink a lot of tea, and the gesture is very good.

"Huh!" Zhu Houzhao couldn't help laughing, "I'm afraid you didn't sort it out, it was copied and corrected overnight by those newly promoted young men from the household department." He hurriedly opened it and put it on the desk, just happened to see the memorial hill that King Ning had just helped him sort out during the day, the pen and ink were still there, as if waiting for someone to write with their elbows hanging.

"Ah, Your Majesty, you really read these memorials." I didn't know how to follow Zhu Houzhao's eyes and saw these "masterpieces" of his own, "I picked some insignificant ones and sent them to confuse those with bad intentions. People, the real big and important things have been written on silk every day and sent quickly, and they can only be presented to you alone for viewing. Do you think I am very considerate, since I have to give our emperor time to patrol The border, and I want you to know the movement in the middle of the country." I don't understand and patted my chest.Zhu Houzhao picked up the pen on the table, stroked the barrel of the pen with his fingertips, and said with a smile, "Yes, I want to reward you well! What does the Taifu want?"

"I want to take a vacation!" Bubu said angrily, "I want to go back to Westgate, go to the courtyard and ring the bell." He didn't notice the complicated emotions in Zhu Houzhao's eyes.

"This can't be done, how can the important officials of the imperial court pick someone up at will." Zhu Houzhao had already returned to his smile in a short time, and the word Meilongzhen brought back his memories, and the past came to his mind.

This trip away from Beijing is nothing more than mutual use to arrange their own political affairs. This is what Zhu Houzhao learned from King Ning when he came to the south of the Yangtze River. "Pay attention to state affairs", perhaps there is also my own strong intention day after day that has nowhere to vent. "Then after this busy period, can you ask for leave to rest, anyway, the imperial court will have a holiday in the New Year." I don't know, the government and taxes have been smoothed out, and the next step is military power. He was just an expedient move to slow down the army, appease the four kings and let them fight each other. Now that the world is unified, the military power has always belonged to the emperor. Zhu Houzhao took back the military power of the world. There is only one obstacle left. Named Marshal, coupled with disagreements in political views, he was not less hostile by King Ning, only the contest between King Ning and the Emperor, he didn’t understand and was unwilling to participate, the farther the better, but I knew best, it was impossible in this life no matter what Going against the oath of abandoning Jiangnan and being involved in the power confrontation in the capital at that time, the family depends on each other, and I don't regret it.But it's good to be able to hide for a while. I offended him by pretending to be King Ning today. It's best not to see him again for a month.

The two people had their own concerns. After exchanging political affairs, they dispersed. Zhu Houzhao read the volume at night and was very satisfied. All the political affairs were going towards his established blueprint. This is the real residence of the Son of Heaven.

It snowed continuously that night. When I woke up in the morning, there was a snowy scene outside the window. Zhu Houzhao looked at the petals of wintersweet decorated with white snow under the plum trees in the center of the courtyard.

A figure flashed past the corner gate in the courtyard, followed by another person, and the two hurried on their way. Zhu Houzhao recognized that the one leading the way was King Ning's confidant Shan Zhou, who was very capable in riding and riding in King Ning's barracks, and there was another person who was more familiar , is the imperial physician who just checked his pulse the day before yesterday.Could it be King Ning...?Zhu Houzhao followed suspiciously. When they saw someone behind them, they turned around and saw that it was still the emperor. They knelt down quickly, "See the emperor, long live the emperor."

"Why are you running around in the courtyard?" Zhu Houzhao looked curious.

Shan Zhou reported, "Go back to the emperor, the lord is ill." He decided to establish a virtuous image for the lord, so he also said what happened last night, "The lord felt a headache last night. It's good to sleep all night, but unexpectedly this morning, when the attendant went to serve the prince, he found that the prince had a severe fever and couldn't wake up, so I asked the imperial doctor to take a look."

Zhu Houzhao's heart moved after hearing this, and he asked again, "You said that the wind and cold have flared up again, what's the matter?"

"Returning to the emperor, the prince has been eating and sleeping in the open air since he was in the army, and his food is irregular. When he first arrived here in Kaiping City, he suffered from a cold, but it was not serious, and he didn't care about it. Later, the emperor's holy body was violated. The prince was also worried day and night, and he never let go of the safety of this place. It may be that the prince was tired after going out yesterday, and the wind and cold broke out again. I didn't expect it to be so serious today. I was bedridden and couldn't eat. I was very worried, so I invited the imperial doctor to hurry to the prince, and asked the emperor to forgive me." Shan Zhou Take the opportunity to tell the prince's hard work.

"Then what are you waiting for? King Ning is the pillar of the country, and I am very worried, so I went to treat him immediately." Zhu Houzhao walked faster than the two, and Shan Zhou hurriedly pulled the imperial doctor up and chased after him.

Entering the room and turning into the dormitory, what Shan Zhou said was true, King Ning lay down in a brocade quilt, the waiter, the imperial physician, was there all the time, Zhu Houzhao sat at the table far away from the bed, watching the imperial physician diagnose the pulse , King Ning's wrist was pulled out from the sleeve, revealing the golden prince's wrist buckle. It needs to be taken care of." Zhu Houzhao nodded, signaling him to prescribe medicine immediately and take care of it carefully.The imperial doctor guessed that King Ning's illness was contracted by the emperor. The emperor had just cured the cold the day before yesterday, and the prescription was readily available, so he withdrew the medicine.Concerned about the prince's illness in a single week, he couldn't slack off the affairs under King Ning's account, and resigned to the emperor.

Everyone dispersed, Zhu Houzhao got up and came to the bed. Although the dormitory here is in a remote border town, it is magnificently decorated by the officials, even more gorgeous than the dormitory in the Beijing Palace. Shaman, Zhu Houzhao couldn't see King Ning's sleeping face clearly for a while, so he calmed down his impatience. He slowly opened the curtain. The remaining consciousness recognizes the person in front of him, and he really has no strength, so he can only move the corners of his mouth slightly, as if saying the usual words of meeting.

It turns out that the frail figure of a person in high spirits is so breathtaking. The person on the couch is like a flying cloud because of the high heat, and even the corners of his eyes have turned red. The usual sharp and handsome is completely gone, only helpless and weak. Zhu Houzhao seems to be suffocating , Sweat dripped from the tip of his nose.

"Uncle Huang is ill, take good care of his illness, and when he recovers, we will go back to the capital together." Zhu Houzhao sat by the bed, and spoke very slowly with affectionate eyes.

King Ning's consciousness was fuzzy and he couldn't hear what he said clearly, only a figure in a fine dress was seen.

Sword wounds, residual poison, the pain of marching, how much ambition this body has endured, Zhu Houzhao reached out and touched King Ning's cheek, the warm skin was like warm jade, for so long, uncle, are you a cold and heartless person? I have had a ray of tenderness, whether this firm and resolute heart has had a little tenderness for me, Zhu Hou looked at this face, this appearance fell in love at a glance, this talent is also a love-hate relationship.

"Go back to the capital, clean up your troops, return to Nanchang, and the emperor will not go back to the feudal land, okay?" Zhu Houzhao knew that King Ning's consciousness was lax, and he couldn't understand what he said. He had just experienced the feeling of this illness. It's just that King Ning didn't accompany him to visit during his illness. Maybe King Ning is still preparing for his death.When he thought of this, he put his palm on King Ning's neck, and felt the beating of blood between his fingers. This is the blood of the royal family surnamed Zhu, just like himself. ...

Uncle Emperor, you listen to me, I will definitely keep you safe...

Today, the imperial doctor got the emperor's will, and he must heal the prince well. The prince is too tired to work on state affairs, so he must take care of it carefully and slowly. Don't act too hastily.

In the early morning of the next day, Shan Zhou came to say hello, and by the way, presented the financial and taxation of Prince Ning's Mansion in Nanchang for this year. If the prince's condition improved, he could take a look at it.

After he knocked on the door, he only heard "Come in" and pushed the door open. He was still happy that the prince had recovered so quickly, and he was able to get up to answer, although the voice was a bit deep... a little... different... different from usual... …

"!" Shan Zhou took a step back in shock after entering, and there were two people on the prince's bed, embracing each other, "My lord, my lord..." Shan Zhou suddenly felt relieved, the lord's status is noble, and it's not unusual to invite a beautiful woman to accompany him However, it's just that the prince doesn't get close to women on weekdays, let alone talk about emotions, why today?Shan Zhou became curious, and couldn't help but want to see which peerless beauty the prince favored. After all, the prince's excellent appearance is well known all over the world, but which woman who is suitable for marriage has never dreamed of the candidate for Princess Ning? , reappearing the glory of the ancestors, so that countless women have nothing to think about, if they find a beauty today, they can definitely brag to their brothers for three days and three nights in the future.

Many possibilities flashed through his mind in a single week, and when he saw the person on the bed clearly again, he wished he could disappear immediately.

The person on the bed was dressed in a rich and luxurious woven gold dress, with dragon patterns embroidered all over the skirt, leaning on a few soft cushions, half lying on the edge of the bed, holding in his arms... the king... the lord...

After all, Shan Zhou is a person who has experienced life and death on the battlefield, and immediately bowed his head to the ground, "See the emperor!"

Zhu Houzhao motioned for silence and waved his hand. Shan Zhou disappeared immediately as if he had been pardoned. When he retreated to the door, he saw the imperial physician brought soup and pills and walked in. Then he also withdrew shortly afterwards. The two exchanged a look, that is, confidentiality Only in order to save lives.

Zhu Houzhao smiled triumphantly, happy to see this secret being known, and said to the person in his arms, "Drink the medicine." After saying that, he got up and got out of bed, and gently supported the patient, letting him lie half on the soft cushion, The decoction was brought, and patiently put it into his mouth bit by bit with a silver spoon. The patient didn't appreciate it but was powerless to resist.

"Did you order the imperial physician and your subordinates to come in and watch me feed you?" Zhu Houzhao put down the bowl and spoon, wiped King Ning's lips with his fingers, and wiped off the brown mark.

King Ning, who had kept his eyes closed all the time, opened his eyes after hearing these provocative words. Zhu Houzhao seemed to see the brilliance of the morning glow reflected in Yingyu. It was vividly displayed, unlike yesterday's red face, today's cheeks are pale, showing fragility.In the past years in the south of the Yangtze River, in the quiet afternoon, I kissed this light-colored lips passionately, and today I once again experienced the irresistible charm of weakness and powerlessness.

Zhu Houzhao was neither stunned nor annoyed, he picked up the medicine bowl on the side again, and said kindly, "Uncle Emperor, let's go to Haozhou, go down the canal from the capital all the way south, and go up the river upstream after the ice and snow melt. Let's go." King Ning looked at him and didn't answer. He was exhausted in his illness, but he also faintly smelled uneasiness. He used the war to remove Zhu Houzhao from the power field in the capital. The land, and walking with him, can't let go to deal with secret matters. King Ning coughed a few times, swallowed the medicine that had been presented to his lips, and swallowed the game with the emperor.

Zhu Houzhao smiled sincerely, and watched King Ning drink the medicinal drink spoon by spoon. He had no intention of distinguishing whether it was the emperor's obedience or his understanding of current affairs. As long as he can see the world side by side, life is enough.

After recuperating for two or three days like this, King Ning recovered most of his recovery. He was overworked from the previous raids, and his whole body was still tired. He looked a little more indifferent and alienated than before. He came in together with Zhu Houzhao today, regardless of his superiority or inferiority, he leaned on the table and put his hands on his chest, "King Ning, have you stayed in the old place of Daning City for a long time, your ancestors missed you, so you have a high fever back?"

King Ning was writing the detailed story of the battle with Wuliangha at the table. He raised his head and looked at it, but he didn't understand. Your Majesty's dragon body was slightly ill before, is this also the reason?"

"..." I don't know how to look at King Ning. I haven't seen him for many months. He has obviously lightened up, but he still has the same demeanor. Even if it is a tease, it also has a strong sense of warning, and it also alludes to Cheng Zu and King Ning Xian back then. The past events in the world, accusing the emperor of not knowing how to sow dissension.

Zhu Houzhao watched the battle secretly, and more recalled the outside of Daning City. The two pointed out the battlefield, and he couldn't help being in a good mood. He took the plum branch in the book of the servant and put it in the bottle himself. It was a blooming flower in the courtyard. The bedroom is adorned with sweet fragrance.

After all the people dispersed, one buried his head alone, and the faint fragrance of plum blossoms slowly wafted through the entire inner room. After covering many pages of paper with King Ning's brush and ink, he got up and approached the flower branches. It was dyed golden yellow in the evening sun, and he missed the piano room in the Nanchang Prince's Mansion. Outside the window, there were green bamboos in summer and dark fragrance in winter.Now when he is recovering from his illness, he has a rare leisure time. He pushed the door open, strolled to the plum tree, and looked up at the plum blossoms. The yellow flowers brought back his memories. That year, he was appointed by the late emperor to go from the capital to the south of the Yangtze River. Meilong Town looked for the prince, traveled all the way, and settled in a small town at the foot of Taihang Mountain. At that time, a jasmine flower bloomed beside the road of the post station. Among the green mountains and plains, there was only this cluster of strange colors. Although it was small, it was attracted to stop and linger At that time, I was just an idle vassal king, unable to stand shoulder to shoulder with the four kings. Only by pursuing the prince can I get everything I want. The prince who is dormant in the south of the Yangtze River is far away. , the prince is already the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he planned and used schemes, reformed the administration of officials, updated taxes, and personally levied foreign enemies. Elegant King Ning, how many of the past dreams have not yet been realized?The snowflakes in the air are rustling one after another, just like the artistic conception of flowers floating on the sea under the moonlight described in the poem, silent but better than silk and bamboo wind music.

In the twilight of night frost, stepping on the snow-covered path, King Ning heard the sound of sharp swords breaking through the air in the courtyard in front of him. He stopped at the door, but the door was not closed, just in time to see Zhu Houzhao dancing his sword under the moonlight in the courtyard. With a graceful posture and superb swordsmanship, he is truly the emperor guiding the country with high spirits.

With the last move to draw his sword, he saw King Ning, with the snow flying all over the sky as a scene, "Uncle Emperor." Zhu Houzhao wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and then King Ning came back to his senses, "I have seen the emperor."

"Is the emperor looking for me?" Zhu Houzhao put his long sword into its sheath, turned his head to look at the person coming, his eyes seemed to be full of stars.

King Ning was at a loss for words and was about to pass by perfunctorily, but Zhu Houzhao grabbed his wrist and was forced to turn around. Zhu Houzhao gave him a warm smile, "Let's have dinner together. The imperial doctor said that you and I are just recovering from a cold, so we shouldn't be too meaty. Just in time to enjoy meals at the same table."

King Ning was invited to the dinner table after a half push. Zhu Houzhao helped him serve a bowl of fragrant rice, and he even picked up a piece of fresh mushroom and piled it lightly on the rice. He said with a smile, "Let's eat." The bowl began to be eaten with a big mouthful. King Ning held the chopsticks in one hand and watched him eat deliciously. Zhu Houzhao felt the attention. He chewed and smiled at King Ning. Together with the emperor's uncle, it is really beautiful and delicious, and the appetite can be increased.

The fish soup on the table was warm, giving off a trace of white gas. King Ning saw that this was a fresh fish that was only found in Poyang Lake. Just a sip from the emperor's uncle is enough for the wish brought in.

When it comes to interpreting the filial piety of monarchs, virtuous ministers, King Ning can be regarded as experienced. He changed his silence just now and expressed his gratitude to Zhu Houzhao, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Mouth vegetables, chewing while responding to Zhu Houzhao's smile.

The personal servant Chen Zhuo just tiptoed in to report something important, but was waved away by Zhu Houzhao. King Ning turned his back to the door and didn't know he was picking up vegetables.

After dinner, King Ning wanted to leave, but Zhu Houzhao kindly persuaded him to stay in good spirits and said, "Uncle Huang, I will invite Uncle Huang to look at his favorite work." After speaking, he fetched a few scrolls beside the desk, opened one, and drew Above is the poetry of misty rain, the brook of the academy, two people fishing, a few bouquets of crabapple flowers blooming by the stream, flying flowers floating on the water surface. "Uncle Huang, look at this picture again." At this time, the painting in his hand is the wolf smoke in the desert, the gold and iron horses, the two armies are fighting fiercely in front of the formation, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are the forwards, one holds a long tassel, and the other wields a sword to fend off the enemy. Galloping and fighting.

King Ning's complexion changed slightly. Zhu Houzhao put the experiences of the two people into pictures in Jiangnan and Northland.

"I have another one, which is not yet finished, please help me, Uncle Emperor?" Zhu Houzhao carefully rolled up the painting, and picked up another roll again. On this painting paper, there is only one person, in the green bamboo forest, the painting is with a bow Manxian, with a tall and beautiful figure, but the facial features have not been painted yet. Zhu Houzhao tilted his head and smiled at King Ning. The meaning could not be more obvious. Please stop and be his own deity in the painting. Eyebrows.

Zhu Houzhao invited King Ning to take a seat in front of the desk table, "I only heard people say that the emperor's uncle is brilliant in writing and his handwriting is superb. Today, please ask the emperor to write an article for me, so that I can copy it." Sincerity is also an imperial decree. Seeing his innocent smile, King Ning had no choice but to nod.

"It's good if the emperor agrees." Zhu Houzhao quickly spread out the scroll and came to the other side of the table. Some brushes had already been prepared. After thinking for a moment, he picked up a pen decorated with a jade tube and pointed at Ning. Wang started to paint, and Ning Wang leaned over his desk to concentrate, every movement and every stillness are full of elegance, which has achieved Zhu Houzhao's affectionate description of each stroke.Those are the eyes that sink down at first sight, and they will appear even in dreams. Zhu Houzhao has never looked at King Ning's face so greedily and presumptuously. Only then did he put pen to paper with a smile.

It was getting dark, Zhu Houzhao personally lit a few bright lamps, and came to King Ning, "Uncle, it's too dark, how about painting tomorrow?" King Ning wrote a poem with ink, and he didn't stop when he heard the words Writing, Zhu Hou looked at his focused side face, his breath was getting closer and closer, and when King Ning found out, it was too late to dodge, and when he raised his head, he just pressed his cheek to the lips that had been waiting for a long time, King Ning paused at the tip of his pen, a little black Smudged on the paper, an ink flower was dotted on the last sentence of the poem.

King Ning dodged instinctively, but realized that this was Zhu Houzhao's dormitory. All the experiences he had deliberately forgotten in the past came to mind, and a look of panic flashed across his face. Then he closed his eyes and let out a deep breath, pushing Zhu Houzhao away.

Zhu Houzhao, who had a strong blow to his chest, had already had a backhand. He stepped back and held King Ning's wrist at the same time, pulling him up from the chair. When King Ning just stood up and couldn't react in time, Zhu Houzhao took another step forward. Clamping his wrist with one hand, holding his back with the other, pressing his chest close to his own, the two of them were of the same height, Zhu Houzhao sealed his resisting words with his lips without hesitation.

The sickness was like spinning, King Ning had to be manipulated, all his resistance was in vain, Zhu Houzhao's enlarged eyes were all in his sight, and every eyelash feather could be seen clearly.His breathing was stagnant, and his lips were sealed again. His breath was not smooth, and the suffocation became more and more serious. He struggled to break free, and his eyes dimmed. Zhu Houzhao noticed that his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly let go. After taking a few deep breaths, Zhu Houzhao started to cough violently. Zhu Houzhao supported his limp body and sat down on the edge of the bed after half-embracing and half-walking. His chest was oppressed, his old injury was painful, and he wished he could curl himself up to relieve the pain. He frowned, covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and the hair band around his ear trembled with his body, and there was no wind.

I don't understand that after waiting outside the door for a long time, Chen Zhuo blocked the door and refused to knock. He was already very impatient, "Eunuch Chen, those subordinate ministers have already arrived outside the city gate, what will happen now?" My son rushed to pay my respects, said I was paying my respects, but in fact I was complaining to the emperor, you have experienced the people from the Sixth Ministry of the Cabinet, and you don't want me to see the emperor?"

"Ah, my lord Tai Tu, the young one has gone in. The emperor said he didn't see it, so the young one has nothing to do with it." Chen Zhuo wrinkled his face, but he still wanted to maintain a wry smile.

"Who is in there?" He asked gnashing his teeth, almost strangling Chen Zhuo to death.

"The little one doesn't know..." Chen Zhuo's life is the most important thing, the emperor naturally dare not disobey, and King Ning, King Ning's face is well liked by others, and he wished that his life could be handed over to him, but King Ning's methods... ...Although the Taifu is cynical, he is by no means an evil person. Chen Zhuo decided to stick to it to the end, "Master Taifu, why don't you go back and rest, it's getting late now, if those adults come, the little ones will be willing to fight Don't let them bother the emperor." Chen Zhuo felt that he really couldn't survive this time.

"Why don't you rest? Do you think those old gangsters are so easy to fool? Maybe it's possible for them to come and cry outside this door all night. Hey, that's right!" Good idea, run away immediately.

In the room, King Ning finally calmed down. He glanced coldly at Zhu Houzhao's meaningful eyes, waved his arms away vigorously, got up from the bed and took steps, wanting to leave straight away.Zhu Houzhao grabbed his wrist, a martial artist who practiced martial arts for many years was precise, and King Ning was pinched by him.

"Uncle Emperor...don't deceive yourself anymore. You also read the memorial that day. It was either questioning your military achievements or impeaching you for overstepping the rules." Zhu Houzhao walked up to him from behind, his eyes locked on King Ning's face , not letting go of any subtle expressions.

King Ning smiled silently. Ever since he experienced the scene where the former emperor forced himself to commit suicide with a Shangfang sword in the Jinluan Palace, when will the rumors of "closing the border and cracking the soil, and supporting the soldiers to respect themselves" stop, but it's not all slander, King Ning thought to himself. I think, but I don't intend to reply to Zhu Houzhao.

"Uncle Emperor, I just want to keep you." Zhu Houzhao said with utmost sincerity, "Let those speech officials and censors speak freely. I have my own judgment on who is loyal to Daming, but you, Uncle Emperor... ..." Zhu Houzhao glanced at the memorials in the distance, and looked at King Ning again, "You treat Daming and you treat me..." After all, they are different...

That day when Zhu Houzhao took a nap, King Ning helped him sort out the accumulated state affairs at his request. He also wanted to find out what was going on in the court. After all, he was far away from the capital, and he didn't know how to control the government. In the letter, "Prince Ning Chenhao invaded the people's fields and recruited bandits." Nanchang City has not returned for nearly a year. It seems that the gang in the Wangfu are still doing their best. After taking a look at Zhu Houzhao who deliberately arranged this, he closed his eyes and fell asleep. Scroll down again, spread out another piece of dragon paper on the case, and just wrote two lines of Hui style poems, before being walked away by the calm Zhu Houzhao.

At this time, the lights were bright, making people forget the time. King Ning turned his eyes away and stopped looking at him, "I still want to draw a picture, that is, in the palace that day, there were no civil and military soldiers in the Manchu Dynasty, and only the emperor invited him to conquer the alien race. "Zhu Houzhao said movedly, "Uncle Huang is loyal to Daming, I never doubt it." He embraced the thoughtful King Ning with both arms, and the tip of his nose smelled of King Ning's hair, "Uncle Huang, you stay here By my side..."Stay by your side and everything that goes against you will be sold out...

King Ning heard Zhu Houzhao's gentle and tender threats and advice, and he had to exchange his emotions for the power he wanted. Even if he had no affection for Zhu Houzhao, he had to stay by his side, because he had feelings for himself, which was a taboo against human relations. Emotions make people addicted and unable to break free.

The affection in Zhu Houzhao's eyes is undiminished, and his eyes seem to be full of water. Even the emperor can't do whatever he wants. King Ning has tried his best to seize his own power, and he has tried his best to keep everything he has.Wanting this, Zhu Houzhao felt very wronged. The emperor is rich all over the world, no matter who he is, no matter what kind of person he is, he can't call him instantly, but he carefully guards his affection for King Ning, as long as he has a simple smile, he can be happy for a long time.

Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt happy. If he hadn't been poisoned by King Zheng, the uncle's skills would definitely be able to fight against him, but now that his skills are low, he is no longer a threat. Zhu Houzhao hugged King Ning tightly and kissed him hard. A good night in a dream.

When the emperor leaves Beijing, it is customary for the ministers to follow him. He does not understand that as the Taifu’s favored minister, he leaves the capital to assist the emperor here. It is an excuse to follow the system. Otherwise, the emperor and the Taifu will not only be drowned by civil servants’ saliva, but also be detrimental to the court’s situation. Stable, now half of the six important ministers practiced retinues came from the capital, not only to deal with the government affairs but also to stabilize the people's hearts, to prevent the border, the capital, and other places from secretly causing troubles. With a head, he greeted the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, the Secretary of the Ministry of Households and a group of right-hand assistants. Several ministers got out of the sedan chair and greeted the Tai Tuo. You have prepared a meeting ceremony, and by the way, we will go to see the emperor tomorrow morning."

All the ministers looked at each other without saying a word, the emperor had been away from Beijing for a long time, and it was the end of the year, and things were complicated, and they had already discussed it, but when they saw Sheng Jia, they wanted to persuade and remonstrate, but they were stopped by ignorant halfway, talking about ignorant , everyone is really hard to say, when the emperor first came to the throne, he "acted in a perverse way", after getting along for a long time, he also found that
