The world of rebirth

After getting into the carriage, Ning Yunjin put today's matter behind his mind, because there were too many flaws between these two people, he was too embarrassed to criticize, so he couldn't arouse any interest in the person behind the scenes.

Leaving aside the fact that I chose a place like the Yingbin Building to talk about this kind of thing, it would be too insulting to my IQ just to talk empty teeth and open my mouth to want to believe their fabricated life experience, but Ning Yunjin thinks again Go deeper, but think more.He had long suspected that Yingbinlou was set up by some powerful person to collect information. At first he wondered if it might be Wenzhen, but after thinking about it, Yingbinlou's ostentatious goal is really not Wen Zhen's style, since those two people dare to choose here, will they come from the same line as the people in Yingbinlou? If they come to the door immediately with evidence, they may be used as a gun. This is only a short-term plan, because they know that they will not be able to hide it for long, and they need to act quickly.If they waited for a while and found evidence after their own investigation, then they should be worried.

After figuring it out, Ning Yunjin came to Ye Hai as soon as he returned to his residence, and asked him to take some money to find some reliable people to quietly inquire about the time when he was attacked and the rumor that he was the eldest prince. Covert and pretending to be just curious.

Ye Hai accepted the task and went to work with a strange expression.

Unlike Ning Yunjin, a fringe figure in the imperial court, Wenzhen got busy as soon as he arrived in Rehe.First, I was invited to visit the garden, and then I had to meet with local officials. I was very busy. Fortunately, the weather in Rehe is much cooler than that in Beijing. Even if I don’t use the ice basin, I won’t feel the heat.

Even so, when Wen Zhen managed to sneak away for a while, he couldn't help but walk around to the courtyard where Ning Yunjin and Hong Xin lived, seeing their cozy appearance, he couldn't help but feel depressed.

It is really more popular than people!

It was late in the evening, and the sun was already half set. Ning Yunjin and Hong Xin were lying side by side in a chaise longue in the yard, burning incense burners at the bottom of their feet, and asked two palace maids to fan them. Put the peeled fruit in their mouths.

On the small table next to them was chilled sour plum soup. Looking at the cool air on the cup wall, I felt relieved from the heat. There were also three or four musicians holding pipas and singing ditties. Comfortable.

I saw Hong Xin squinting his eyes halfway, humming along, and beating time with his right hand.Coincidentally, when the tune became more leisurely, he first stopped his movements and sighed, "Fortunately, the fifth and sixth sons went out to visit the garden, otherwise we wouldn't be able to be quiet for so long."

He didn't receive a response to his exclamation, so he opened his eyes and looked at Ning Yunjin, "Qing Yang, you must be asleep!"

As soon as he opened his eyes, Ning Yunjin's sleepy face seemed to be defenseless. The flawless, smooth and delicate skin tempted Hongxin to touch it, but just as he stretched out his hand, Ning Yunjin suddenly felt nothing at all. Significantly opened his eyes.

Hong Xin was so embarrassed that she didn't have time to withdraw her hand, and then she heard a soft drink from the courtyard door.

"Hong Xin, what are you doing?"

That familiar and majestic voice made Hong Xin tremble all over in fright, and hurriedly got down to the ground, "My son kowtowed to the father."

Compared with the quick movements of him and the surrounding palace people, Ning Yunjin's speed was obviously half a beat slower, but the two parties obviously didn't care.

After Wen Zhen calmed them down expressionlessly, it became Wen Zhen and Ning Yunjin sitting in the chaise longue, and Hong Xin standing in front of Wen Zhen.

"You two really enjoy yourself!" Wen Zhen glanced at the two of them, and finally fell on Hong Xin, "I didn't bring you to Rehe for you to play, today is the first day, that's all. , if you let me know that any of you didn't pay attention to your homework, don't even think about participating in the hunt, and let me go back to Beijing."

Hong Xin has always respected and feared Wen Zhen's father, and hurriedly said, "Report to Father, I will definitely study hard in the future, Father, please rest assured."

"Retire first!" Wen Zhen looked at him and nodded in relief, then glanced at the palace people around him, "You all retreat too."

The palace servants who stood by the side all retreated one by one, and Chief Li Deming consciously stood by the door to guard.

Hong Xin sneaked a glance at her father, and found that he looked at Ning Yunjin with a very serious expression, which could even be called gloomy.He hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but knelt down and said, "Father, it's all because of my son's stubbornness. Those musicians in the palace were all called by my son, and have nothing to do with Qing Yang, please don't punish him."

He lowered his head, so he didn't notice that his father frowned even higher after listening to his words, and the person he was worried about couldn't help but laugh.

"I see. You should go back to your room and reflect on yourself first. When you meet the elders and elders, tell them that tomorrow I will test your homework in riding and archery." Wen Zhen said calmly.

Hongxin secretly said God bless him, but his father didn't punish him. At this time, his little courage was exhausted, and he didn't even dare to lift his head, so he went back to the room with his head down.

When he walked away, Ning Yunjin gave Wen Zhen a white look, "Why are you scaring him so much?"

Wen Zhen frowned and said, "Why is the fourth brother so clingy to you?" Thinking of the scene he saw before, he felt even more sour, "He even kissed you! You were too generous with him." If it weren't for Ning Yun Jin Congrong, with Hong Xin's three-legged cat skills, how could he possibly kiss someone.

Ning Yunjin looked at him speechlessly, "You think too much. Hongxin is still a child!"

"It's almost eleven, it's not too young." Wen Zhen said seriously, "I found that you treat him better than Hong Ming. If you get closer to him, I'm really worried that he will have other thoughts."

"Don't you want to be so narrow-minded! The two of us just hit it off." Ning Yunjin couldn't help but plucked up the courage to speak up for him when he thought that Hong Xin was trembling with fear just now, for fear of being punished by Wen Zhen. "A cute, coquettish and caring child like Hongxin is the cutest little brother!"

Seeing that he didn't take it seriously, Wen Zhen had to grit his teeth and secretly decided to keep the two of them away from each other in the future.He is too aware of Ning Yunjin's charm, if this guy treats someone well, how can he resist it - Hongxin doesn't know Ning Yunjin's real background, so he will have no scruples in acting.

"By the way, what are you doing here?" Ning Yunjin felt a little annoyed at the thought of his still sore waist, "Could it be to disturb me so that I can't listen to the song?"

Seeing his posture nestled in the imperial concubine chair, Wen Zhen moved to his chair clearly and helped him press the lumbar spine.Such an intimate gesture immediately made the atmosphere more pleasant. Wen Zhen thought for a while and asked, "I have been uncertain about something, why don't you come and help me with it?"

Ning Yunjin lazily said, "I'm currently on sick leave."

Wen Zhen pinched his face, "Do you still want me to let go of this burden sooner?"

After the matter was related to the two of them, Ning Yunjin had to cheer up. He turned over and sat up, and said seriously, "Okay, tell me!"

Wen Zhen never underestimated Ning Yunjin's wisdom, and trusted him the most, so he organized his language and expressed his current troubles, "This time Mulan hunted all the tribes of the grassland and the surrendered Fengwu tribe. They all came back, and now the court is divided into two factions, in order to maintain the original state, or give them preferential treatment, they are arguing endlessly."

As soon as Ning Yunjin heard that he had finished talking about this problem, he also fell into a dilemma.

This is a hidden danger that already existed last year. In that battle, Daxia captured a large and extensive grassland. Coupled with the Fengwu tribe who surrendered last time, Daxia's territory can be said to have expanded by a large circle.

But most of these territories are grasslands and Gobi, and not many people would like to live there—otherwise, they would not want to occupy Daxia's territory.

If you don't, you will lose your buffer with northern Russia. If you want it, you must solve the problems of people's survival and how to rule.

In terms of national interests and the achievements of the emperor, even if the face is swollen, these places must be included in the territory, and then the problem will come. Sending people from Beijing to manage it will definitely not be suitable for various climates and different customs. ——This is already a history of blood and tears in the past dynasties. Since the local people still govern themselves in the end, it is better not to intervene in the beginning.

As far as the central court is concerned, it can’t just watch the local autonomy do nothing. In the past, Daxia’s style was to collect taxes, open mutual markets, and help build cities. But now, in terms of area, the grassland and Gobi almost have the entire territory. One-fifth, Daxia doesn't have that much financial resources as a support at all. If you want to make the local tribes lean towards the court, you will naturally have to give preferential treatment in other aspects.

The ideas of men in feudal society are always similar, so some people in the court proposed the method of marrying a woman of royal blood to the nobles of the grassland. When the noble girl of Daxia gave birth to an heir, the heir would have the blood of the royal family of Daxia , will naturally lean towards Daxia.

Wen Zhen thought it was a good idea. Although he felt sorry for his daughter, if he could secure such a large territory without bloodshed, no one would refuse such a cheap deal.

The problem is that the royal bloodline is inherently weak, and there are fewer and fewer people with bloodline abilities in the clan. These noble ladies of the royal family may give birth to people with bloodlines. If they want to marry them far away, the ancestral temple and the clan may have great opinions. I don't want to do it under so much pressure.

Ning Yunjin recalled that in his previous life, Wenzhen finally chose the policy of preferential treatment, allowing royal princesses to marry far away in the grasslands.Just like those princesses in the early Qing Dynasty, although they enjoyed more than ten years of royal treatment, they ended up living alone in the grasslands thousands of miles away. It didn't get better until the Qing Dynasty was able to completely control Mongolia.

"It's better for a man to bleed more than to let his daughter cry a thousand lines." After all, Ning Yunjin had more modern ideas of respecting women, and he didn't follow Wen Zhen's approach, so he finally denied it, "No matter how nice it is to marry a princess, it's not enough." Is it just a marriage? We are clearly the winners, so why use such a method."

Wen Zhen was a little surprised by Ning Yunjin's choice. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the latter was better. It only took a hundred years to make the grassland firmly in Daxia's hands, without any more fighting.

He hesitated and said, "If these people turn to the big merchants again, it will take a lot of effort. After all, people are as good as they can be, and only the homeland is the most important."

Although I know that the idiom "Everyone can do it well" is very appropriate here, but when he heard it, Ning Yunjin was stunned for a while, and it took him a long time to react.He shook his head and said, "If you want to rebel, no matter how you win over, you will still rebel."

Wen Zhen nodded, "It's a very important matter, let me think about it again!"

Ning Yunjin saw that he didn't want to talk about it, so he wisely changed it to mention today's interesting incident. In order to fish, he asked Wen Zhen to remember to cooperate more, and not to be too busy with himself recently, which made Wen Zhen's eyes uncontrollably resentful.
