Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 304 The Snowfall Night

Prince Ning's Mansion, the bookstore.

The cold wind was howling outside, but the room was as warm as spring. On a long and large table, the ink in the inkstone had been rubbed thick and sticky.Glittering under the lights.

The sandalwood has been lit, and faint cigarette smoke curls up.

In a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, a clump of daffodils is in full bloom.

Concubine Lou was copying something on a three-foot birth announcement in beautiful lowercase letters with a pen. She was only wearing a thin autumn dress, and she looked a little thin.

King Ning looked behind with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile, "Aifei's calligraphy has improved again, not bad, not bad. However, Aifei's dignified and beautiful lower case script is not suitable for copying Tang people's quatrains. I can’t write that kind of freedom and ease.”

While talking, he groaned in a low voice: "Green ants' new fermented wine, small red clay stove. It's snowing in the evening, can you have a glass? Such a poem should be filled with walnut characters, dipped in a tube of ink, and written in running script." Just write whatever you want."

Concubine Lou was a little embarrassed: "My lord, my concubine is not a man, and I can't write that kind of characters."

"Yes, yes, in fact, Aifei's words are the best for copying Li Yi'an's words, but today's snow is heavy, but it is not suitable for the occasion." King Ning took out a few pages of paper from his arms as he spoke. , and put it in front of Concubine Lou.

It looks like four or five poems.

"What is this?" Concubine Lou glanced at it in surprise, and then she was attracted by the beautiful lines on the paper, her eyes were frighteningly bright: "One night the north wind was tight, and the snow was still floating when the door was opened. Cherish Qiongyao. Deliberately grow withered grass, unintentionally decorate wilted sweet potatoes. Prices are high and the village is ripe, Nian Ren's mansion is rich. The reeds move the ashes and fly the pipes, the sun turns the bucket and turns the ladle. The cold mountain has lost its emerald... Eh. This is a competition for writing snow scenes Even the scenery poems are written so well. Where did the prince copy it from, and who is the author?"

King Ning smiled: "I copied it from a novel book."

"Fiction books, how is that possible?" Concubine Lou was taken aback. It's not like she hasn't read the romance novels. To be honest, most of the books in the market are low-level, and the writing is so rough that no one will notice it.Although there are poems and lines in it, most of them are written in nonsense, so they just click on a question or something, and they are thrown away after reading it, without any appreciation value.

Like these poems in hand, if you pick any one out, it will cause a sensation.The author naturally regards such a masterpiece as a treasure, so how can he use it in a novel to ruin it?

King Ning: "This book is very famous in the palace recently. It is the favorite book of Long Live today. The palace maids and eunuchs in the palace hide a copy for everyone who knows a few words, and they are fascinated by it. My dear concubine, fortunately, I fell ill at 30 years old this year, and you have not been given a meal, and you have no chance to enter the palace to pay homage to the empress. It's boring."

Concubine Lou was taken aback: "What book is so popular?"

King Ning: "This book is called "A Dream of Red Mansions", and the author is Su Mu?"

"Su Mu, is that him?" Concubine Lou whispered.

"Why, Concubine Ai knows this person."

"Not only do I know, but I have seen it from a distance." Concubine Lou told King Ning in detail about Su Mu and Long's poetry competition in Tongzhou that day. The poems in the book are neatly written on the paper.

By the time those poems have been copied, it will have been made clear.

King Ning: "So that's how it is. Hey, this Sumu is really amazing and talented. His attainments in poetry are already number one in the world. It doesn't hurt that the dragon loses to him."

Concubine Lou nodded, her expression was a little excited: "This person is really good, is the prince moved to love talents?"

King Ning: "This king loves his talent. However, Su Mu is a celebrity in front of Long Live Lord and Prince Chu. Besides, he offended Long Mingqing. No matter what I say, I have to find a chance to find him in the field for Long. return……"

Before he finished speaking, there was a rush of footsteps in the yard, and when he looked up, it was the excited dragon.

Concubine Lou: "Just talking about Mr. Long, he came over. Talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao will come."

King Ning smiled: "My dear concubine, you also know this joke. By the way, this joke was also made by Su Mu: Who is the fastest runner in the world--Cao Cao, because if you say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will come."

Concubine Lou burst out laughing.

Long Zai had already arrived at the door: "My lord, it's urgent!"

Concubine Lou hurriedly retreated.

"Come in, what's the matter?" Looking at Long Zai's distorted face with excitement, King Ning asked.

Long Zai stepped into the room, closed the door smoothly, and said in a trembling voice: "Just now Long Zai received a report from the prince's eyes and ears in the palace, Your Majesty... Your Majesty is already dying, probably tonight."

King Ning looked calm: "It's not surprising. His Majesty fell ill on the [-]th day of the new year. There was news that Long Live would not survive for a few days. It's only a matter of these two days."

"My lord... My lord, are you just watching and doing nothing?" Long Zai's voice trembled even more.

King Ning: "If your majesty is a great leader, the country has its own system and its own prince. We have rules in the Ming Dynasty. The vassal princes are not allowed to interfere with state affairs and are not allowed to do anything. Wait for the new king's will!"

Long Zai suddenly knelt on the ground, trembling all over, but the three voices became louder: "My lord, have you forgotten what King Huai said years ago? This person is you, the prince!"

King Ning shook his head: "King Huai wants to be a virtuous king, but this king admires him very much. However, this is his own business. What did I do and what did I do?"

Long Zai lowered his voice: "I want to tell the lord, Eunuch Xu Can and Xu sent someone to contact my palace earlier, saying that once Long Live is successful, there must be some chaotic officials and thieves with ulterior motives to catch chaos. He wants to ask the lord to come forward and preside over the overall situation."

"Xu Can, Dongchang Xu Can?" King Ning's expression changed and he became serious.

"Yes, that's him?" Long Zai said with excitement all over his face, "My lord, the commander of Jinyiwei, Mu Bin, has been removed from his post, and all the dragons in the northern and southern yamen have no leader. And Wansui has fallen into a coma. Without the emperor's will, even if the capital is in chaos and the capital is under martial law." Even the entire army dare not leave the defense line. Only Dongchang still has a certain amount of military strength, so why not..."

"Haha, haha!" King Ning burst out laughing suddenly: "Mingqing, Mingqing, what can you say about you as this king. You, you, you, sometimes you are just a scholar, and you think things too simply."

Hearing this laughter, Long Zai raised his head in astonishment.

King Ning: "Mingqing probably didn't know that before you came to see this king, Xu Can had already gone to Duke Huai's mansion. Guess what he would say to Duke Huai, did he also invite Duke Huai to preside over it?" The big picture? Puchi, according to others, King Huai is also the one with the highest seniority and the highest prestige among all the kings. In comparison, this king has only been on the throne for only a year, and he is still not on the stage. He, Xu Can, is just making a lot of bets. Why can't you even figure this out? Get up and talk!"

After speaking, he lifted Long Zai up from the ground.

Long Zai took a breath of air: "This Eunuch Xu... a sinister villain." He looked a little sad: "My lord, the prince is young and absurd, and he is very disappointing. Now all the kings are willing to change their horses, and the royal family must be tidied up. Housework. If such a good opportunity is missed, can we still find such a good opportunity in the future?"

There was a faint smile on the corner of King Ning's mouth: "Don't worry, just wait and see, the capital city is a big gambling game now, someone has already put chips on the table early, throwing a lot of money, so rich, thinking that they can win the other People are scared and dare not play. How can things be so simple?"

A strange light flashed in Long's eyes: "My lord?"

King Ning: "Mingqing, you go out immediately and take a message to this king."

"Please show me, my lord?"

King Ning: "Go to Gao Yuan and tell him that Xu Can of Dongchang colluded with King Huai to plot rebellion. Tell him to control Jin Yiwei and closely monitor him. If there is anything abnormal in the capital, he will immediately send troops to suppress the rebellion."

"Gaoyuan...Jin Yiwei passed through Si Gaoyuan and sent out...to put down Xu Can's rebellion!" Long Zai screamed, dripping with cold sweat.

Seeing the back of the dragon leaving in a hurry, King Ning picked up a pen and then copied Su Mu's poem: "Nianren's mansion Liang Rao. Jiadong Ash Flying Pipe, good, what a Su Ziqiao, a real talent!"

After finishing writing, he threw the pen away, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth: "Xu Can is a villain, speculating everywhere. Duke Huai is a fool, and his bones are dead in the grave. Hehe, two guests came to a table of dishes, let's see who eats it last!"
