Li Qiufeng's heart sank, and he looked for prestige, but saw five or six people sitting at the table near the door on the right. It was a middle-aged man in his forties who spoke. This man was thin, his face was scorched, and his two short beards were neatly combed, and at a glance he knew that he was a man with sharp teeth.

The thin man's voice fell, but an old man in his fifties sitting opposite him shook his head and said: "What you say is too ridiculous! When the first emperor was in power, King Ning rebelled, and within two months he was put down by the imperial court, King Ning and several of his sons were beheaded by the first emperor, and the Ning domain was deposed from then on. What are you talking about here, isn't it a big mistake that King Ning arrived in Shuzhong?!"

A young man sitting next to the old man nodded and said, "Old Qi is right. King Ning rebelled, that was more than ten years ago. I heard that Emperor Zhengde arrested King Ning in Nanjing and crushed his bones and scattered ashes in front of the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu Gao. You said that King Ning was going to rebel again, this matter is too nonsense, not credible, not credible. ”

The rest of the group chimed in. The thin man showed a look of disdain on his face, glanced at everyone with disdain, pursed his lips, and said with a sneer: "No wonder the barbarians of the Central Plains said that we Sichuan people sit in the well and watch the sky, and it is not a big deal." You people are like wood, you can only follow the clouds, it really makes people laugh out of their big teeth!"

As soon as he said this, the rest of the people were a little embarrassed. The old man was a little indignant, and said to the thin man: "If you have any knowledge, you might as well tell it to everyone, so as not to make everyone unhappy." ”

The thin man smiled slightly, and said: "It seems that characters like King Ning, they are all stars in the world, how can they say that they will die? I'll just ask one thing, do you know why King Ning rebelled?"

Everyone looked at each other, and their faces were a little suspicious. The old man said: "Ning is a very popular minister, and if he wants to rebel, he naturally wants to go further. ”

When the old man said this, his face was a little nervous, and he looked around, and saw that the drinkers at the adjacent tables were either shouting and drinking, or laughing loudly as if no one was around, and there was a guest sitting at the counter waiting for a seat, but he also looked drowsy, and no one paid attention to their words. Only then did he lower his voice and said to the thin man: "King Ning wants to be the emperor himself!"

The thin man seemed to have expected the old man to say such a sentence, and with a contemptuous look on his face, he shook his head, and said, "You only know one thing, but you don't know the other. Anyone who rebels naturally wants to be the emperor. However, King Ning rebelled, he not only wanted to be the emperor, but also wanted to avenge the great revenge of King Ning of the past dynasties!"

Everyone was a little surprised to hear him say this. The young man who had just spoken said, "Revenge? Who is he looking for?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the thin man was proud, took a sip of the wine glass, and cocked Erlang's legs, looking like he was so neat, he actually sold Guanzi. A few people at the same table became impatient, and the old man said: "Don't sell it, if you have anything to say, tell everyone quickly, and you can eat and drink." ”

The thin man just smiled slightly, but did not speak. At this time, a fat man in his thirties sitting on his right side said, "Brother Zheng, I invited this pot of wine." You can tell us about the matter, and let us see for a long time. ”

The thin man nodded, lowered his voice and said to everyone: "If you want to talk about the origin of King Ning, it's not simple! Lao Ning Wang's surname is Zhu Mingquan, and he is the seventeenth son of Emperor Taizu Gao. Later, Emperor Taizu won the world, in order to prevent the Tartars from going south, he named this Zhu Quan as the king of Ning, and led the troops to garrison the north with the king of Yan, controlling hundreds of thousands of troops on the nine sides, and resisting the Tartar soldiers for the Ming Dynasty. ”

When he said this, he glanced at everyone and said, "Who is King Yan, you should always know?"

The old man and the young man nodded, but the fat man shook his head and said, "I don't know." Could it be a prince surnamed Yan?"

The thin man showed a look of disdain on his face, and said, "King Yan is Emperor Chengzu." Emperor Chengzu was gifted and intelligent, brave and brave, even compared with Chang Yuchun, Lan Yu and other Ming founding generals, but not far behind. Lao Ning Wang can be as famous as Yan Wang, which shows that he is also a great hero. Later, Emperor Taizu Gao died, and the emperor's grandson became the emperor, which was Emperor Jianwen. After the Jianwen Emperor ascended the throne, he immediately began to cut the feudal domain, and finally forced the King of Yan to rebel. King Yan raised the banner of 'Qingjun's side' and launched the Battle of Jingjing. It's just that at the beginning of the army, King Yan had only a few thousand troops and horses, so how could he confront the imperial army? At that time, King Ning had many soldiers and generals, and there were also brave and good fighting Duoyan Sanwei who thought they were wings. King Yan wanted to win over King Ning and fight to the death with Emperor Jianwen together.

However, King Yan knew that King Ning was brave and resourceful, and no matter how he fought wits and strength, he was not under him. If King Ning refuses to help him raise troops, he can easily take himself to Emperor Jianwen to ask for merit. When King Yan went to see King Ning, he had already calculated King Ning's heart. After he arrived at the garrison of King Ning's army, he left the guards outside the city and only brought a few personal guards to see King Ning. When King Ning saw King Yan riding lightly to see him, he became contemptuous and did not take King Yan to heart. When King Yan proposed to borrow the Duoyan Sanwei under the command of King Ning, King Ning pushed it out in every possible way, only saying that without Emperor Jianwen's military talisman, he could not mobilize Duoyan Sanwei. King Yan deliberately pretended to be disappointed, and immediately said goodbye to King Ning. Although King Ning refused King Yan's invitation, he didn't want to embarrass his brother too much, so he personally sent King Yan outside the city. Unexpectedly, after King Ning and King Yan went out of the city together, the guards of King Yan's mansion suddenly surrounded them. Although King Ning was brave, when he left the city, he only brought some eunuchs and chamberlains, and was not accompanied by military horses, so he was coerced away by King Yan.

"Although King Yan trapped King Ning, he didn't want King Ning's life, but just wanted to get King Ning's military power. It was King Yan and King Ning who had a long talk all night, first explaining that Emperor Jianwen was bent on cutting the domain, and the two kings of Yan and Ning had been stationed on the nine sides for many years, holding heavy troops, and they would never be able to escape this catastrophe. If you don't fight back, you can only wait for death. At that time, even if you want to be a common person, it will be impossible. It's better to fight for your life and fight with Emperor Jianwen, maybe you can still have a chance of life. If you are lucky enough to succeed, you should divide the world with King Ning and rule ......"

When the thin man said this, the young man shook his head and said, "The beggars eat a bowl of rice together, and the emperor cannot divide his clothes." Although King Yan painted such a big cake, if King Ning believed it, he would be too naïve. ”

The thin man glanced at the young man, "Although Brother Ma is young, his knowledge is extraordinary. At that time, King Ning was held in the palm of King Yan's hand, whether he believed it or not, unless he didn't want to live, he would never dare to refuse King Yan's invitation. In short, later King Yan got the military power of King Ning, fought with Emperor Jianwen's soldiers and horses for four years, and finally invaded Nanjing and won the world. King Yan ascended the throne and became Emperor Chengzu, and he no longer mentioned the matter of dividing the world with King Ning, but found a reason, saying that King Ning was 'arrogant and rude because of the merits of Jingjing', and the only few hundred guards left around King Ning were not counted, and he was afraid that King Ning would follow the same example, contact the old department to rebel, and have another 'Battle of Jingnan', which would be very bad. It was to send a confidant to move King Ning from Hebei to Nanchang, Jiangxi, although he was called Wangye, he was no different from a prisoner.

At that time, King Lao Ning was only twenty-five years old, and he knew that his emperor's elder brother was ruthless, and in addition to being afraid of Emperor Taizu Gao all his life, he would kill others when he said he would. After King Yi Lao Ning arrived in Nanchang, he closed his door, only talked about Huang Lao every day, and sang and sang with literati and bachelors. Emperor Chengzu didn't know how many Jinyi guards and Dongchang's spies were sent to surround Lao Ningwang, just wanting to find his mistakes and uproot King Ning's lineage. It's just that Lao Ning Wang Taoguang kept obscure, but he didn't give the emperor a chance to start, and finally he was able to die a good death.

But the evil breath in King Ning's chest has always been accumulated in his chest. The subsequent generations of King Ning were extremely dissatisfied with Emperor Chengzu behind their backs, and they always thought about taking out this evil breath for King Lao Ning. However, the emperors after Emperor Chengzu were also wary of King Ning's descendants, and they made trouble with King Ning's mansion from time to time. It was because the kings of Ning in the past dynasties did not end well. When the reign of Emperor Zhengde was the first emperor, Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, finally got the opportunity and rebelled in Jiangxi, setting off a great chaos. ”
