During the court meeting, Yang Ming wished he could kill Ning Changzhen with a hammer. This was the reaction a normal person should have.
However, even if Ning Changzhen really stood in front of him now, he would definitely not do this. Politics is complicated. Yang Ming is in the political whirlpool and is no longer a normal person.
The values before the time travel have long been fragmented, and new ideas and thoughts that match his current identity have to be reassembled, otherwise he will not be able to survive.
When he first heard about Ning Changzhen's rebellion, Yang Ming was quite excited, but now he has calmed down and is no different from usual.
When something happens, think about how to solve it instead of worrying about why it happened.
He is the prince and will be the emperor in the future. No matter what the situation, he must remain motionless. This is the basic quality of a prince.
This time Ning Huizao asked for a meeting, and Yang Ming was right, and it was in the back garden of the East Palace.
There is an artificial lake in the back garden of the East Palace. It is stagnant water and is not suitable for swimming, so Yang Rui and the others are currently fishing with Xue Daoheng by the lake.
Fishing was also a course prepared by Xue Daoheng for Yang Rui. As the eldest son of the prince, the ability to cultivate a calm mind should be cultivated from an early age. Fishing is a very good way, and the purpose is not to fish.
It's winter now and it's cold outside. It's also a kind of exercise for them to leave the greenhouse.
Yang Ming was sitting on the other side of the lake, watching several boys fishing from a distance.
Yang Rui, Yang Jin, and Li Shimin's eldest son, Sun Wuji, were all there. Originally, the four brats were still having fun, but when they saw Yang Ming, they sat back down and looked serious.
Ning Huizao was really frightened. He stood behind Yang Ming and did not dare to say a word. He only waited for the prince to take the initiative to ask questions.
"Standing so far away, can you hear what I'm saying?" Yang Ming said calmly without looking back.
Pei Shuang, who was beside him, shook his head towards Ning Huizao with a gloomy face, and the latter hurriedly took a few steps forward.
"There must be a misunderstanding. My grandfather has always been loyal to the court..."
Yang Ming raised his hand, Ning Huizao's throat twitched and he didn't dare to say the next words.
"Have you seen the other side? The second one on the left is Gu's crown prince," Yang Ming said.
Ning Huizao looked into the distance for a moment and hurriedly said: "With the posture of a dragon and a tiger, his manners are extraordinary. He is worthy of being the son and grandson of the dragon."
Yang Ming laughed, and Chen Kui, Pei Shuang and others beside him also laughed. Ning Huizao didn't know why.
Pei Shuang explained: "That is Li Shimin, the second son of the Duke of Tang Dynasty, not our heir apparent."
Ning Huizao was stunned and realized that he had been teased by Yang Ming.
Yang Ming smiled and said: "Do you think I will believe what you say? The posture of a dragon and a tiger. How can such a little kid get the posture of a dragon and a tiger? I don't even know how to flatter you. I'll give you another chance to take a good look.
, who is the lonely prince on the other side?"
Ning Huizao widened his eyes and looked at the other side intently.
To be honest, you can't tell clearly by appearance, so don't try to judge based on appearance. After all, children are like fathers, so you can only guess.
Looking at it, he still feels that the kid on the second left has the most unusual demeanor and behavior, followed by the third on the left, who is quiet and quiet, with a conservative sitting posture, giving people the impression of being weak, but among the four children, this one belongs to him
The boy was the most focused, only staring at his own float from beginning to end, without looking left or right.
But Ning Huizao felt that the prince's son should be more domineering. The third boy on the left looked like a chaperone, just like the fourth left. It was obvious that the fourth left was a chaperone, because the bait of the remaining three people was all
It's this kid who's doing it.
That must be Zuo Yi. Zuo Yi's mind seems not to be on fishing at all. He has been staring at other people's floats without even looking at his own.
"I was misled by His Highness just now, so I guessed wrong. This time I guessed the wrong one," Ning Huizao said.
Pei Shuang raised his eyebrows.
Yang Ming asked: "Why choose the one on the left?"
I just made a wild guess, I just think this guy should be the most domineering among the four, because he is staring at other people's floats, which shows that he has a strong possessive streak.
Ning Huizao said honestly: "Actually, I was just guessing."
Yang Ming said to Chen Kui: "Call Yuan Tiangang and let him take a look."
Chen Kui nodded and immediately went to Taishi Cao to find someone.
After a while, Yuan Tiangang came. He didn't recognize any of the four boys across from him. When he knew that the prince asked him to guess who the prince was, Yuan Tiangang's interest suddenly arose.
He just likes this, just like a person who likes to play mahjong and can't walk when he hears three and one.
Yang Ming said: "Aren't you afraid of reading fortunes to nobles? This time you don't need to get close, just look from a distance. I just let you guess, but you have to tell me what you think about the four children."
Yuan Tiangang nodded, then squinted his eyes and watched carefully for half an hour.
"Let's talk about the fourth son from the left first. This son is definitely not the prince. The prince would not be so diligent in baiting others. However, this child is also unusual. I have watched him from a distance for a long time. I have never made any unnecessary movements on his hands. This shows that he usually does things.
It should be concise and capable, with one person serving four people (including Xue Daoheng), without any confusion, and using small things to see the big things. Since he is a close servant of the prince, he may be appointed as a general in the future."
Yang Ming nodded: "Continue."
Yuan Tiangang said: "Let's talk about Zuo San. This boy is extremely focused and is not disturbed by external things. This is his innate nature. People with this nature will move forward in everything they encounter, resolute and decisive, but they are also suspected of being paranoid."
"The second one from the left has the most harvest, but judging from his fishing posture, he should be the same as the other three. They are all beginners. However, he has a good harvest, which shows that he has mastered it quickly and learned well. If he grows up smoothly, he will be able to do well in the future.
For those entrusted with great things.”
"As for the one on the left," Yuan Tiangang pondered for a moment, and said: "It must be the prince. He has an overview of the overall situation, observes the details, and is cautious and determined. For such a long time, he didn't catch any fish. It can be seen that his mind is not on fishing. The authorities are confused and the onlookers can't see clearly.
Fishing is just a matter of entertainment. The prince is responsible for the country, so he should just watch from the sidelines."
Yang Ming curled his lips and gestured to Chen Kui beside him. Chen Kui said to Yuan and Ning:
"You both guessed correctly. The first one on the left is the eldest son, King Qin, the second son on the left is the second son of Duke Tang, the third on the left is the King of Wei, and the fourth son on the left is Sun Sheng, the eldest son."
Ning Huizao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Fortunately, I thought that boy on the left was not simple. Why are you always staring at others when you are fishing? So this is called bystander knowledge?
After Yuan Tiangang left, Yang Ming said to Ning Huizao:
"All the nine provinces and seas respect their direct descendants. Isn't that the case in Lingnan?"
Ning Huizao guessed what he wanted to say, lowered his head and said: "Actually, in Lingnan, we are also the eldest son who inherits the family business."
Yang Ming nodded: "I thought you Lingnan people were independent, what? Ning Chang really wants to find someone else to inherit the family business? Or is he no longer planning to take over the family business?"
Ning Huizao hurriedly said: "It must be a misunderstanding. Maybe my grandfather really went to Shandong to quell the rebellion?"
Pei Shuang snorted coldly and couldn't help but said, "Do you believe this?"
"Well...it's not impossible," Ning Huizao felt embarrassed and his face turned red.
Yang Ming laughed and said: "He refused to borrow any food and privately recruited 70,000 soldiers and horses to go to Shandong? Goguryeo has been destroyed, but anyone with a brain knows that Shandong will be fine. What is he going to Shandong for? Is he like Wang Bo? Wang Bo has already
On his way to escort to the capital, he learned from the wrong person."
Ning Huizao was speechless. Although Feng Yuzhi had told him that the prince would not do anything to him, he was definitely not at ease.
Can you believe what the prince says? I don’t even believe my own father now.
Yang Ming turned around and glanced at Ning Huizao in surprise: "I think you are a good person and worthy of inheriting the family business. So what do Ning Changzhen think? He doesn't want your son, and he will be alone.
I want you as my subject."
Ning Huizao took the opportunity and said: "I would like to go back to Lingnan to persuade my father to stop the army, but... I am afraid that the prince will not let me go back."
Yang Ming smiled: "Go back and tell your father that the court was benevolent and righteous to him, but he was unfaithful. Following what Emperor Gaozu once said to Gao Yangcheng: May you wish for more blessings."
"The prince is really willing to let me go back? He won't send someone to kill me halfway, right?" Ning Huizao was open-minded and spoke out what was in his heart.
Yang Ming slowly stood up, came to the other party's side, patted Ning Huizao on the shoulder and said:
"Aren't you good at guessing? Guess for yourself."
After that, Yang Ming left, and Ning Huizao was also taken out of the palace by the guards.
And Feng Yuzhi is waiting for him at Jinyang Tower right now,
"What's going on?" Feng Yuzhi asked anxiously.
Ning Huizao said: "The prince agreed for me to return to Lingnan, but I was afraid that there was fraud in it. I only have less than two hundred followers around me, and they can't protect me."
Feng Yuzhi was stunned: "What are you thinking? The prince asked you to go back, just to let you go back. Do you think the prince is the kind of person who goes back on his word? Your father is."
Ning Huizao looked frightened: "My life is at stake, so I can't help but be careless. Sister, please tell me whether I should leave or not. I'm afraid that as soon as I leave the capital, my killer will arrive."
Feng Yuzhi was speechless and sighed: "You take yourself too seriously. Think about it, who do you think you are? Are you worthy of being killed?"
"It's not worth it, but my father has rebelled. In the eyes of others, I am the son of a traitor," Ning Huizao said anxiously.
Feng Yuzhi said coldly: "Hurry up and pack your bags and leave. I hope we can see each other again one day. I will take you out of the city."
Ning Huizao was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered his servants to pack their things. He did not dare to delay for a moment, and left the capital with Feng Yuzhi half an hour later.
In fact, he is no longer useful. Ning Changzhen has rebelled. Why should I keep you?
Are you no longer worthy of being a hostage?
But Yang Ming saw that Ning Huizao was still close to the imperial court, so he had to keep him. He was worried that his father would kill Ning Huizao when he came back, so he let him go in advance.
Lingnan finally needs to return to its heart. If you want Lingnan to return to its heart, the tribal leaders must return to their heart. Ning Chang is really useless and cannot be counted on. It depends on whether the next generation of Lingnan has this awareness.
If not, the imperial army will go there sooner or later. By then, there will be heads rolling in and blood flowing like rivers.
Yang Ming didn't want this. After all, Lingnan was one of his own, but he was just a rebellious child at the moment.
