The two chatted casually, exchanging greetings on the surface, but in their hearts Chenyue was quickly recalling the relevant information sent by Wentiansi.

Ningzhou is quite special. It is located to the south of Pinghan Road in the north. It forms a pinzi shape with Jizhou and Hanzhou, and can communicate with the capital further south.

The previous emperors had a good idea when dividing the territories. They placed a vassal king here to take charge of military and political power. If a war breaks out on the border, several prefectures and counties in Ningzhou can provide backup for Pinghan Road to keep the border intact.

To put it bluntly, even if the border generals rebelled, the soldiers and horses under King Ning could still hold on for a while.

Therefore, Zhou Ding's father had a very good relationship with the Qi Party in the north, and had tens of thousands of troops at his disposal, at the command of Prince Ning's Mansion.

But as we all know, after the new emperor succeeded to the throne, the Shangguan faction began to suppress the vassal kings in various places. King Fu rebelled and was killed, King Yue was implicated in collaborating with the enemy, and King Hui's family also met a tragic end.

Coupled with the collapse of the Qi Party, Prince Ning's position became increasingly embarrassing. Firstly, he had military power in his own hands and was easily feared by the court. Secondly, because he was close to the Qi Party, it was inevitable that he would be slandered by others.

Zhou Ding was also a smart man. After King Hui was killed, he took the initiative to hand over his military power and became a wealthy man in a corner.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this move that the frail and sick feudal lord was alive to this day.

Zhou Ding looked at Chen Yue's face and said with some regret:

"Although Prince Liang is not very old, his reputation has already spread all over the world~

Ask yourself, I, Zhou Ding, cannot accomplish any of the achievements that the prince has done.

Everything about him, perhaps only this surname is a little more noble than others~

How magnificent it is to resist foreign humiliation and regain Liaodong~"

"Your Majesty Ning, thank you for the award. I heard that when you were young, your Majesty once rode your horse and whipped your whip outside the Jizhou Pass. The people of Ningzhou all praised you." Chenyue smiled.

I don’t know why, but Zhou Ding, who has his head slightly drooped, always has a somewhat complicated look in his eyes:

Unwilling? Annoyed? Lost?

Chenyue couldn't tell, he could only tell that Prince Ning didn't seem happy.

“King Liang’s news is pretty good~”

Zhou Ding showed a surprised expression. He didn't expect that Prince Liang knew about his youth. Suddenly there were some memories in his eyes. He stretched out his hand and murmured in the air:

"I don't like those fine clothes, fine food, gold, silver and jade articles, but I really like the rolling yellow sand and the strong autumn wind.

War horses, scimitars, strong bows and crossbows are the true qualities of a man."

"Cough cough cough!"

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Ding coughed violently and helplessly spread his hands towards Chenyue:

"What a pity, now I can only sit in the carriage~"

Chen Yue showed a sense of appreciation. It was rare for a member of the royal family who was born with a golden key to be so energetic.

It's a pity that God's will has caused such a man to look very ill now. Let alone riding a horse, even after taking two steps in Chenyue, he felt like he was going to collapse.

Zhou Ding continued to talk to himself: "A few months ago, when I celebrated my birthday, I met General Chang, and by chance, I mentioned the prince in our chat.

Chang Lao was full of praise for the prince, but I rarely hear him praise others like that."

Zhou Ding gave a thumbs up as he spoke, without showing any airs of being a royal nobleman in front of Chen Yue.

"Haha, everyone in the Chang family is also honest and loyal. I, Chen, admire them very much." Chen Yue answered humbly.

But he suddenly realized that this Zhou Ding was showing favor to him. The Chang family now had a good relationship with Liang Di, and Zhou Ding had a good relationship with the Chang family.

When he mentioned the Chang family intentionally or unintentionally, he was obviously telling Chenyue:

We are friends.

After chatting for a while, Zhou Ding's topic began to turn to the capital:

"This time His Majesty's crowning ceremony seems to be very lively in the capital~"

Chenyue started to pretend to be stupid and laughed: "This is the prosperous age of our dynasty. The Ministry of Rites is in great fanfare, and many officials have rushed to the capital from all over the country. Naturally, it is very lively."

Zhou Ding glanced at Chen Yue helplessly and could only clarify:

"In the past six months, the governors of various states have been replaced, and the number of ministers in various ministries has been large. The government does not seem to be stable~"

Prince Ning has almost made it clear that the Shangguan family and the Yuwen family are fighting too hard. Do you, Prince Liang, have any opinions to express?

"Oh? Really?" Chen Yue raised his eyebrows slightly: "Prince Ning can speak frankly if he has something to say."

Zhou Ding stood up with difficulty holding on to the table, and said calmly:

"To be honest, the internal fighting between the Shangguan family and the Yuwen family is a waste of national power. I see it in my eyes and it hurts in my heart.

The rebellion in the south of the Yangtze River has just subsided, and the Yan Rong in the north are eyeing the enemy and preparing their troops, and are about to move south.

At this time, our court is still criticizing each other. Is it appropriate?

As a member of the royal family, it's a pity that I don't have the ability to change the situation of the court.

If the country is in civil strife, there must be an attack from foreign enemies. The prince and the Chang family are both frontier officials, and they are both men with heavy troops, and the burdens on them are not ordinary.

The Shangguan family and the Yuwen family are powerful. If the prince and the Chang family can unite, they will surely occupy a place in the court. Whether it is food or money, it will be much easier.

The northern defense line that stretches thousands of miles will also be stronger."

Zhou Ding said a lot of things in one breath, and it seemed that he had been holding these words in his heart for a long time.

"Your Highness is here to persuade me to unite with the Chang family?" Chenyue's eyes narrowed slightly:

"Does it mean the Chang family?"

"No, it's just my own suggestion~" Zhou Ding shook his head:

"It's a bit treacherous to say this, but I was born and raised in the North, and I know the borders better than others.

I know Prince Liang doesn't like to form a party, but it's better to have someone to help you than to fight alone.

Your Majesty, just keep it in mind."

Chenyue was silent for a moment, then bowed slightly and said:

"I will keep in mind what Prince Ning said."

"Haha, okay, let's go."

Zhou Ding's energy seemed to be much improved and he said casually:

"The ancestral system of our dynasty means that the vassal kings are not allowed to meet casually in private, so we can only go to the capital separately.

Your Majesty, farewell!"

"My lord, go slowly~" Chen Yue stood up and returned the greeting.

"Crunch, crunch, crunch~"

After a while, Prince Ning's car parked on the side of the road took the lead and drove towards the Shengtian City after turning the three-way intersection.

"Wait! Please wait a moment, Prince Ning!"

Zhou Ding, who was in the car, poked his head out curiously, and saw several white horses galloping towards him in the distance, and the shouts blew into Zhou Ding's ears along with the breeze.

"Stop~"

"promise!"

Zhou Ding slowly stepped out of the carriage with a puzzled look on his face, and finally several riders arrived in front of him.

The general on horseback turned his chin, cupped his fists and saluted:

"Xu Luo, the captain of Bai Mayi, has met the prince."

Zhou Ding nodded slightly and said, "What's the matter?"

Xu Luo pulled out a big snow-white horse from behind and said respectfully:

"This is a gift from the prince to Prince Ning. The prince said that if he is interested in the future, Prince Ning can go outside Beiliang Pass and see the rolling yellow sand."

Zhou Ding's heart trembled, and he stretched out his hand slightly tremblingly, gently stroking the snow-white horse.
