Ding Rushan sat quietly in the middle hall, next to Wen Jun who looked nervous.
The panicked shouts of the servants could be heard outside, as well as the chaotic footsteps of the generals of the Ding family as they ran. The sounds reached my ears, but Ding Rushan remained unmoved.
Soon there was a loud sound of footsteps, and Hua Ying appeared at the door of the central hall in a flash.
"Hua Ying, Admiral of Dongchang, pays homage to Lord Ding." Hua Ying said with a smile on his face and cupped his hands.
"Admiral Hua, you're welcome. Rushan is now a guilty person, so he is still an adult." Ding Rushan said lightly, "I am a guest from afar, please take a seat."
Huaying was not polite and sat down directly. As for the factory guards following him, they all stayed outside.
A servant gingerly brought the fragrant tea. Hua Ying didn¡¯t even look at it. He smiled and said, ¡°Master Ding, how are you enjoying your rest at home recently?¡±
"Thanks to Admiral Hua for thinking about me, it's not bad. Now I write and read every day, occasionally practice boxing and raise some flowers and plants, which is quite interesting." Ding Rushan said.
Hua Ying sighed and said: "I really envy Mr. Ding's broad-mindedness. He is obviously wronged, but he looks at it so openly. If all the ministers in the court had your demeanor, we factory guards would have nothing to do. ¡±
"Shu Rushan doesn't understand what Admiral Hua said. I wonder what happened in the court?" Ding Rushan took a deep breath and asked, knowing that the other party was not a good person.
"It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that cannot be avoided. You must have this kind of awareness when you are in the court." Ding Rushan never thought that he could protect himself by resigning. Huaying's visit today is proof!
"Actually, it's nothing serious. I just want to ask Mr. Ding to come back with us to investigate a few things." Hua Ying said with a dry smile.
"Pa" Wen Jun trembled, the tea cup on the table was knocked over by her, and the hot tea was spilled on her feet. It was so hot that she shivered all over.
No wonder Wen Jun behaved so rudely, what kind of place is Factory Guard? A place that eats people without spitting out their bones. It¡¯s easy to get in but hard to get out! It doesn't matter whether you are a high official in the imperial court or a hero in the world, as long as you enter the factory guard area, don't even think about coming out without peeling off a layer of your skin!
"Madam!" Ding Rushan was startled and hurriedly reached out to help her.
Wen Jun's face turned green, but he still maintained a calm tone and said: "Admiral Hua, you and Rushan talk slowly, I will clean up."
"You're welcome, Madam-in-law, please do as you please." Hua Ying nodded.
Wait until Wen Juan leaves. Hua Ying and Ding Rushan's expressions darkened.
"Admiral Hua, just tell me if you have something to say." Ding Rushan said.
"As I said just now, please ask Mr. Ding to go to the factory guard and explain some things clearly." Hua Ying said.
"After I went to your place, can I still come back intact?" Ding Rushan sighed, "I have already resigned, why don't you let me go?"
Huaying shook his head and said: "I don't know about this. Brother, I also followed the order from above. Please don't embarrass me, Lord Ding!"
Before he finished speaking, the factory guard masters outside were already guarding the door of the central hall with indifferent expressions. The sound of drawing swords outside also indicated that a battle might break out at any time.
Ding Rushan smiled bitterly and said, "Are you afraid that I will resist?"
"I heard that Master Ding broke through the virtual realm half a year ago, and his cultivation is unpredictable. Naturally, I have to be careful. But I guess Master Ding will not do something that will destroy his future. After all, many things are easy to talk and discuss! Hua Ying said.
"Don't worry, this is my home, I won't do anything." Ding Rushan took a deep breath and stood up, "Let's go!"
Under the escort of a group of factory guards, Ding Rushan left.
As soon as he left, several cloud pigeons flew up from Kyoto, flew out of the sky, and headed south.
Almost at the same time, a guest came to Ding Tianning¡¯s house.
"Ouyang, long time no see." Ding Tianning looked at the old man sitting opposite and sighed softly.
It was Ouyang Guomou who came to visit, the most trusted confidant of Emperor Taisho and the head of the factory guard. He was holding a cup of hot tea with no expression on his face.
"I suddenly remembered that we fought side by side under His Majesty's command decades ago." Ding Rushan said, "So many years have passed, and we are all old, and we no longer have the courage we once had."
Ouyang Guomou raised his eyelids: "What does Brother Ding want to say?"
"What I mean is that I am already an old man and can no longer have any influence on the court. And now that I have taken off my armor and returned to my hometown, why should I keep pressing?"
"It's not that I want to press hard, it's that the national law does not allow it!" Ouyang Guomou said, "Although Ding Rushan resigned, he still can't do it."This time something happened to the fourth prince, and many people were from the Ministry of War, so he was implicated. Don't worry, I just asked him to go back to assist in the investigation, nothing will happen. "
"What about the second child?" Ding Tianning asked again, "Isn't the incident with the Eighth Prince already over?"
"I can't help but someone is bringing up old scores. The fourth prince is biting the eighth prince and won't let go. What can I do?" Ouyang Guomou looked helpless, but this helplessness was more of a pretense.
Ding Tianning fell silent, but a huge wave of energy surged up in his body.
Ouyang Guomou's expression changed slightly and he said: "Brother Ding, what are you going to do? Let me advise you, there are hundreds of people in the Ding family, but you are the only strong one. If you act rashly, it will only bring about the disaster of annihilation!"
"Hahaha!" Ding Tianning laughed wildly, "I really don't understand what your Majesty is going to do. Do you have to kill all the old ministers to be satisfied?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ouyang Guomou glared, "How dare you say such treacherous words?"
"Now that things have happened, why don't you dare? I will write a memorial and give it to Your Majesty. No matter whether I live or die, I will never complain about anyone else!" Ding Tianning wrote as he was told, but the skill of burning incense was "swish". A memorial was written.
Ouyang Guomou took it and glanced at it for a few times, his expression changed slightly and he said, "Do you really want to present it to the emperor? Are you not afraid of Long Yan's wrath?"
"For the sake of the country and the family, I will not hesitate to offend Your Majesty!" Ding Tianning frowned. This old man was known for his perseverance and stubbornness when he joined the army in the past. Although he is now an old man, he still maintains an expression of * *Character!
"I admire Brother Ding's backbone very much, but you must think carefully. Even if you are old, you still have a son and a grandson, and things haven't turned around yet, so why do you add fuel to the fire!" Ouyang Guomou persuaded, seeming to have seen the situation he would face after the memorial was sent.
Ding Tianning shook his head resolutely: "I have chosen to protect myself, but I still can't escape the trap. Even I can't protect myself, who in this country dares to say that he is safe? What is the source of people's panic today? ? I know it, and you, Mr. Ouyang, know it too, so why is your Majesty not clear? I just don¡¯t understand why he wants to make this great country look like this!"
Ouyang Guomou was stunned, and after a long time he said with a wry smile: "You still have the same temper Anyway, since you are willing to sacrifice yourself, why should I bother you? I will submit this memorial, but now you have to follow I¡¯m going to the factory guard!¡±
"Let's go!" Ding Tianning stood up and walked out without hesitation, as if he had left everything behind!
On the top of Guangming Tower, Emperor Dazheng left Ding Tianning¡¯s memorial and said nothing.
Beside her, Concubine Mei peeled off a lychee and stuffed it into his mouth. Chewing the sweet pulp, Emperor Taisho's eyebrows gradually relaxed.
"Ding Tianning is so brave!" Emperor Dazheng said, "Both of his sons are guilty. Not only does he refuse to plead guilty, he also accuses me? Who gave him such courage?"
Ouyang Guomou did not dare to say anything, and others did not dare to answer this question.
"Then tell me, did Ding Rushan fail to do anything in the Ministry of War? Is Ding Ruhai involved in Lao Ba's matter? Does Ding Tianning know about these things about his son?" Emperor Dazheng snorted coldly.
Ouyang Guomou lowered his head and said: "The evidence for these things about the Ding family is conclusive Of course, if we discuss it carefully, some of them are not real crimes."
"It doesn't count whether it's a crime or not. Let me investigate the Ding family's problems! See if they have done anything to deceive me!" Emperor Taizheng waved his hand and said, "Don't be afraid of offending others!"
Ouyang Guomou hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, I am not afraid of offending anyone, but there is another member of the Ding family far away in the southern border. If he knows about this matter, I'm afraid it will be difficult to handle?"
"Are you afraid that something will happen to Ding Ye?" Emperor Taizheng peeled off a lychee with his own hands and put it into his mouth with a normal expression.
Ouyang Guomou did not answer, but his meaning was already very obvious.
"Alashe is also my son-in-law after all." Emperor Taisho frowned and glanced at Concubine Mei next to him.
Concubine Mei chuckled lightly, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, you and Mr. Ouyang can chat slowly, and I will prepare some side dishes for you."
"Go." Emperor Taizheng said lovingly.
After Mei Fei's figure floated out, Ouyang Guomou said: "Ding Ye has the Raptor Division and the 100,000 troops in southern Xinjiang in his hands. The so-called foreign military orders will be violated. If he changes his mind because of family affairs, even if he doesn't It wouldn't be appropriate if something goes wrong and affects the war in the south."
"I understand what you mean." Tai ZhengThe emperor said calmly, "In that case, let Ding Ye return to Beijing to report on his work."
"What if he doesn't agree?" Ouyang Guomou raised his head.
"Don't agree?" Emperor Dazheng showed a cruel smile, "Who dares to disobey my order? If he doesn't agree, it proves that the Ding family has counter-intentions, so there is no need to keep him!"
"Follow your orders!" This was what Ouyang Guomou was waiting for.
When Ouyang Guomou left in a hurry, he didn't realize that there was a pair of eyes behind him that were closely watching his every move.
And that night, a message was quietly passed out from the imperial city, and then several cloud pigeons flew away from different locations in Kyoto, but they all flew to the same place on the southern border!
The thing that Ding Ye was most worried about finally happened. No matter how he hid, the person who had been sitting cross-legged on the cloud still took action, and when he took action, it was like a thunderous strike.
The evil hand finally emerged, but Ding Ye is no longer the ignorant playboy in his previous life. Now that he has the most powerful soldier in the world, is he willing to surrender without mercy?
