Chapter 104
Seeing Xia Sichan staring at the clear lake in front of her in a daze, Ding came over and explained to her, "Bao'er, ever since you disliked the fishy smell of the lake and mosquitoes bit you in summer, your grandfather has been sleeping all the time. People clean up the river mud. I just wait for you to come and live for a few days."

Ding's mansion has no female relatives, and most of them are rough men and veterans.

How can Ding Dai worry about whether the lotus pond here in Linxi Pavilion is dirty, fishy or smelly, and whether there are mosquitoes in summer?
From this point of view, how old General Ding doted on his granddaughter!
While the servants were preparing food and setting up the grill, the three generations of Weng and Sun moved to Old General Ding's study to chat.

Old General Ding's long follower came in to make tea for them, and when he finished making tea, Old General Ding waved his arm and told him to leave.

Except for Xia Siyu, several people are all from the court, so when talking about it, it is the current situation.

As soon as Wei saw his master's eyes, he immediately understood.

Like a golden horse with a sword, he stood with his arms folded towards the door of the study.

No matter what was said inside the room, no one outside could hear the slightest bit.

Old General Ding was the first to speak: "The current Holy Majesty has been in power for nearly [-] years, but he has not made any achievements, and the same is true for educating children!"

"The crown prince is peaceful on the surface, but he is actually a violent prince." The old man sat on the rosewood armchair and said with serious eyes.

Today's prince is modest and benevolent, probably to win people's hearts.

He still remembered that he had just retired from the frontier more than ten years ago and returned to Beijing to report on his duties.

That afternoon, on the eve of the heavy rain, the sky was gray, and he led more than a hundred troops down to the outskirts of Beijing. He settled his men in the military barracks in the outskirts of Beijing, and then rushed to the city with two entourages.When there were two or three miles away from the city gate, he heard the faint sound of swords and wailing in front of him, so he immediately rode his horse and went forward. However, he saw a few people on horseback going away from the distance, and the other two carriages and a dozen individual corpses.

General Ding dispatched his followers to chase after the assailant, while getting off his horse to investigate.

Except for the driver and two guards, the dead were all old, young, women and children.

He found that the criminals did not commit the crime for money. The reason was of course the jewelry on the body of the deceased, and none of the luggage in the car had been moved.

For such a major case, regardless of whether the perpetrators are caught or not, they must be reported to the officials.

Just as he was about to leave, an old woman leaning against the shaft of the carriage covered in blood grabbed the hem of Old General Ding's robe, and said intermittently: "My lord... help, save the old lady."

"This old lady, what happened to you?" Seeing that there was still a living person, Ding Dai hurriedly straightened her body and sat on the carriage pedal, asking eagerly.

The old woman held back her strength, and said angrily: "In the morning, the mistress took the young lady to Qinglong Temple...to pray for Buddha...on the way back, I met a group of people on horseback...they thought the carriage was in the way..." The old woman hadn't said anything yet Finished, head tilted to follow the master's soul.

Ding Dai's eyes widened, and he clenched his fists: "Lang Lang Qian Kun, at the feet of the Son of Heaven!"Who is insane, disregarding the king's law, and killing people like nothing?
The two followers who were chasing the murderer turned back and reported: "General, those people just now are the eldest prince and his party returning to the city from Huangzhuang."

When the two entourages chased after them, they saw from a distance that those people had arrived at the gate of the city, and their horses hadn't dismounted yet. As soon as their waist cards were displayed, they rode their horses into the city.

By the time the two of them arrived at the city gate, the group of people had already blended into the crowd and disappeared.

Among the two, Sun Chao cleverly stuffed a piece of silver into the city guard, laughed along with him, and pretended to ask casually: "The few who just entered the city are pretty cool!" Glancing at him: "Tch, why is he not imposing? He is the eldest prince!"

Ding Dai immediately sent someone to Dali Temple to report the case...

Afterwards, needless to say, those people picked the eldest prince clean.

It is only said that the people under the First Prince did it, and it has nothing to do with him.

In the end, of course, a few scapegoats were dealt with, and that was the end of the dozen or so lives.

It can be seen from this that the prince's character is not his modesty and benevolence on the surface.

Ding Dai originally went to Beijing to report on his duties. Based on his many years of service at the border, besides his title of general, he should have a real job. Who knows, there is no real job.

Fortunately, Old General Ding was open-minded and didn't care about these fame and fortune, otherwise, he would have been suffocated to death.

Besides, that second prince is not a good person.He once slaughtered an entire village for his own selfish gain...

After all, the old man was born as a general, so he was straightforward.

He does not shy away from being a courtier and not talking about the words of the emperor.

Xia Chun has long been aware of the strangeness, and upon hearing this, he can only helplessly keep his mouth shut.

In fact, he also knows that his father-in-law is concerned about the country and the people, he is not the kind of big-mouthed person, he only has emotions with his eldest son-in-law.

Now there is another grandson-in-law Wei Ziqian.

Xia Chun himself is just a civil servant with a low official position. He has been in the Hanlin Academy until now, and he can only barely sneak into the threshold of the cabinet. The Imperial Academy serves as a lecturer.

Old General Ding said coldly: "Nowadays, the emperor is even more superstitious about alchemists. He is devoted to cultivating mysteries, and only asks about longevity. Given time, I am afraid that the government will not bother to care about it."

The old man thought deeply, if the emperor became addicted to pills for many years, it was possible.

Wei Ziqian knew it well, didn't something serious happen to him because of taking too much medicine yesterday?

It's just that the news is blocked.

Their generals, who are dedicated to the court and the country, are most worried that the country that their ancestors worked so hard will be ruined in this way, and it is the common people who suffer.

What is even more worrying is that one day the crown prince who does not take human life will be in power, and Liang Guo will be worried!

Furthermore, the second prince with a powerful mother family is not a good stubble.

At that time, in order to fight for the throne, the two brothers will fight for the throne, and the capital will be bloodbathed.

Hey!
When General Ding thought of that scene, he couldn't help feeling sad.

Wei Ziqian poured tea for Old General Ding himself, and handed the celadon teacup in front of him: "Grandpa, please drink tea."

Knowing that the old man was worried about the court, he comforted him: "Don't worry about being old, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, don't worry."

"well."

Old General Ding glanced at Wei Ziqian, who was very calm in front of him, his eyes were full of secrets, and he was confident.

The gloom swept away, and Wei Ziqian gave him reassurance. He cheerfully took the celadon teacup in Wei Ziqian's hand, and drank a couple of gulps.

Smart people can get a glimpse of it with just a few words.

Besides, look at who is speaking in front of you?
He is the Prime Minister Wei who holds great power and is full of strength!

Not only Ding Dai is like this, Xia Chun also trusts what his son-in-law said.

Xia Siyu, who was young and not worried, opened his starry eyes to look at his grandfather, and then at his sister-in-law Wei Ziqian.

For a moment, I was worried about the prospect of the country.

Thinking of the imperial examinations in the spring of next year, I still focus on my studies. Like my sister-in-law, if I can win the first prize in the exam, I will not only honor my ancestors, but also be eligible to participate in the political affairs of the court, and have the right to speak with my grandfather and the others.

 Old General Ding: The emperor is mediocre, and the prince is a hypocrite.The future of Daliang is worrying, but it is the common people who suffer!
