Ning Zhiwen followed Princess Zhaohua out of the hall in a nervous mood, and went to another side room, where Aunt Ying and Father-in-law Le had been waiting for a long time, but Xiang Lian and Ning Zefeng were nowhere to be seen. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Princess Zhaohua sat down with a calm face, her phoenix eyes were threatening, and she glared at Ning Zhiwen.

Ning Zhiwen sighed and knelt down: "Sinner Ning Zhiwen, the crime deserves death." ”

Princess Zhaohua snorted softly: "Ning Zhiwen, you are known as a hermit in Quanzhou, strong and domineering, and this palace can bear it." Your Ning clan is a pirate, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil, but they are all on the sea, and the palace doesn't matter, Da Chu is in trouble, you stand by and watch the emperor, and the palace can just turn a blind eye, why? Because you are in the land of Dachu, you are also quite regular, there are few traitors, pay field tax, commercial tax, and the Ning family, which has made a lot of contributions to the prosperity of Quanzhou, paving roads and bridges, and relieving the weak, which is also considered meritorious. But you dare to collude with Chu's mortal enemies when Da Chu is in danger, intending to betray the country and seek glory, then this palace is unbearable, do you think that this palace is now the queen of the Ming Dynasty, so it can't control you, a Chu person? ”

Slamming the table, Min Ruoxi shouted angrily.

Ning Zhiwen's face turned pale and he lay on the ground, "Your Highness, those things were done by the child on his own, and the criminals really don't know it." ”

"Don't you really know?" Princess Zhaohua sneered: "I'm afraid you want to step on two boats, right?" ”

Ning Zhiwen knew that in front of Princess Zhaohua, any tricks would be embarrassing. This is not an ordinary golden branch and jade leaf, but a scheming and martial arts, and the queen of the Ming Dynasty who is superb in everything.

"Capital offense!" He could not bow his head.

"Ning Zhiwen, don't think that your Ning clan has deep roots in Quanzhou, and the roots are intricate, so the palace will not dare to move you, it is very simple to move you, but there are two or three people to take a few heads of your Ning clan. Your Ning family generals have already taken root in Quanzhou, as long as your masters die, will they still rise up to rebel? When the time comes, a letter of pardon will be enough to make them honest. Princess Zhaohua sneered.

Ning Zhiwen didn't dare to speak, he knew that Princess Zhaohua's words were not exaggerated, and what worried him even more was that Princess Zhaohua had the ability to easily kill their Ning clan leader. Aunt Ying is a grandmaster cultivator, and Gonggong Le and Princess Zhaohua herself are also masters at the ninth level, and the Ning family, unless they pull up their subordinates to rebel, they have no resistance to such a big killing weapon at all.

But is it possible to rebel?

Not to mention anything else, just because the Ming people unknowingly hid hundreds of elites in Quanzhou, and he, the so-called king of Quanzhou, still knew nothing, so you can see the strength of the opponent.

But at this moment, he also knew that Princess Zhaohua would not want his life, if he really wanted his life, there would be no today's banquet, and there would be no fierce questioning at this time.

Guy himself is still useful. Cheng Wu was supposed to build the Jinghu defense line, and the Ning clan was an indispensable and powerful arm. If not, I'm afraid that my head has fallen to the ground at this time.

"Today's incident, you actually recommended that Ning Zefeng go to Jinghu to serve as the chief general of the water division, tell me yourself, a person who colludes with the Qi country, this palace will rest assured that he will be the chief general of the Jinghu water army? You must know that in the next Jinghu Anti-Qi Resistance, the naval army was a pivotal force at that time, and it could even influence the situation of the battle. Min Ruoxi said hatefully: "How dare you do this? ”

"Your Highness, Ze Feng is just confused for a while!" Ning Zhiwen knocked and said, "Please give him a chance!" Even if it's for him to be an ordinary soldier! ”

Ning Zhiwen knew in his heart that if he didn't work hard to fight for Ning Zefeng's chance, he was afraid that Ning Zefeng's life would be lost.

"You don't have to talk about that." Min Ruoxi waved his hand and said impatiently: "The matter of Jinghu is related to whether the national fortunes of the Chu State can be continued, how can I put a person who is not loyal to the Chu State there?" ”

Ning Zhiwen looked at Princess Zhaohua with some despair, is this the fate of Ning Zefeng's death?

Looking at Ning Zhiwen's snow-white face, Min Ruoxi said slowly: "Ning Zhiwen, are you worried that I will kill Ning Zefeng with one sword?" ”

Ning Zhiwen's body was shocked, and some hope was born: "Please have mercy on Your Highness, the sinners are old, and I really don't want the white-haired people to send the black-haired people!" ”

Looking at Ning Zhiwen for a long time, Min Ruoxi sighed lightly: "Ning Zhiwen, this palace will not kill Ning Zefeng, if you want to kill him, in that Zhuangzi, you will kill him." ”

After a pause, meeting Ning Zhiwen's surprised gaze, Min Ruoxi said slowly: "But you don't have to thank this palace, if you want to thank you, thank your other son, if it weren't for him, not only Ning Zefeng, but you, and your life would not be guaranteed." ”

"Far away?" Ning Zhiwen looked at Princess Zhaohua in disbelief, last year, Ning Zeyuan took people out to sea, it has been several months now, but there is still no trace, how did Princess Zhaohua see her son?

"Grandpa Le, sit down for Ning Gong and watch the tea!" Min Ruoxi waved.

"Sinners don't dare!" Ning Zhiwen was more honest than a quail at this time.

"Sit down, this is for Ning Zeyuan's sake." Princess Zhaohua looked at each other and said lightly: "I want to teach Ning Gong to know, Ling Gongzi is far away, and now I am the director of the Daming Maritime Administration, in charge of Daming maritime affairs." ”

Ning Zhiwen was dumbfounded, no matter what he thought, he couldn't imagine such a change. How did his second son suddenly become the director of the Daming Maritime Administration.

"Sit down!" Min Ruoxi pointed to the chair on the side, "Zhou Li, you tell Ning Gong about Ning Ergongzi." ”

Zhou Li stepped forward with a smile, "Yes, Niangniang." ”

Turning his head, Zhou Li looked at Ning Zhiwen and said, "Duke Ning, last year, the second prince led the ship to sea, and at that time, the general also happened to take the Ming fleet to train in which area, and what is even more coincidental is that His Majesty the Emperor was also in my fleet at that time." ”

Ning Zhiwen took a deep breath.

"At that time, the fleet of the second prince was attacked by pirates led by Zuli and Lu Qiu, the names of these two people, Ning Gong should be familiar with it, right? There were no warships in the fleet of the second prince, but this battle was beaten a little badly by these pirates, the escort ships were all wiped out, and all the merchant ships were captured. He Ying and the second son were captured. Zhou Li said unhurriedly.

Even though he knew that his son was fine at this time, Ning Zhiwen was still in shock, as a pirate leader, of course he knew what would happen to these captured people on the sea.

"But the second son, Jiren, ran into us." Zhou Li said proudly: "In that battle, we annihilated Zu Li and arrested the pirate gang led by Qiu, but we happened to save the second son. ”

Ning Zhiwen looked at Zhou Li, "General Zhou, Zu Li, and Lu Qiu have always been at odds, how could they gang up to attack Zeyuan?" ”

Zhou Li laughed and said, "Ning Gong's eyes are really sharp, and he can see the strangeness at a glance. He unhurriedly took out some letters from his arms and handed them to Ning Zhiwen, "Later, we raided Zuli's lair, but we found these things in his secret room, so we understood why these pirates could unite and know so well about the voyage route of the second son, that they ambushed him in advance and caught He Ying off guard." ”

Opening these letters and looking at the contents of them, Ning Zhiwen's teeth clenched, "This son of a." Ning Zefeng suppressed Ning Zeyuan in the family, he naturally knew, but the Ning family could only have one leader, and he also understood that if Ning Zeyuan couldn't show the corresponding ability and lost to his brother, there would be nothing to say.

But Ning Zefeng did such a thing, but it touched his bottom line. For Ning Zhiwen, the two brothers showed their own powers, and each showed their talents to prove that they were more qualified than the other party for the position of patriarch, that was the proper meaning, within the family, Ning Zefeng had the upper hand, that was Ning Zefeng's ability, but if you buy murder, then you will pass the line.

"Son of a son should die!" He shouted angrily.

"Ning Gong will calm his anger first, this matter is indeed a disaster for the second son, but the disaster and blessing depend on it, if it is not so, how can the second son of Ning meet His Majesty and have a good conversation with His Majesty? Now Ning Ergongzi is already the director of the Daming Maritime Administration, it is Zhou, and he is also working under the second son! ”

"I don't know where I am now?" Ning Zhiwen asked with a trembling voice. For him, Ning Zeyuan is now the savior of the family.

"The second son should have already started to return at this moment." Zhou Li said with a smile: "Those goods always have to be sold, but Ning Gong doesn't need to worry, when the second prince set off, there were already several warships under his command to escort him, and in addition, there was also a main warship of our country accompanying him, and Zhou's son Yangfan was escorting the second son." ”

"You mean, a warship like the one in the harbor right now?" Ning Zhiwen asked.

"Naturally!" Zhou Li said with a smile, "Or in more than a month, the second son will return to Quanzhou Port." ”

"Daming set up the Maritime Administration, is it intended to be at sea?" Ning Zhiwen asked a very crucial question.

"Naturally!" Zhou Li Zhengse said: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, attaches great importance to maritime trade, the Maritime Affairs Department is specially set up for this purpose, in the Ming Dynasty, the future maritime trade does not need to be sneaky, but can be done in a bright way." Ning Gong, can you be interested? ”

Ning Zhiwen stood up, walked to Princess Zhaohua, and knelt on the ground, "Ning Zhiwen and the Ning clan are willing to serve the princess and serve the Ming Dynasty." ”

No matter from that aspect, Ning Zhiwen knows that he will be tied to the chariot of the princess in front of him, the second son has already surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and has become a high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty, but the eldest son has colluded with the Qi State and has been taken by thieves and doubles, these two incidents, no matter which one is out, his Ning clan will no longer have a place in the Chu State. In addition to hugging the thigh of the princess Zhaohua in front of her, Ning, where is there a way out?

Seeing Ning Zhiwen so upright, Min Ruoxi couldn't help but smile. Solving the problem of Jinghu's water army is not a trivial matter, and subduing the Ning family for her husband is her greatest wish. Otherwise, if you turn around and let Ning Zeyuan slowly take charge of the Ning family, you don't have that patience.

And now, once and for all.
