Xue Ruitian smiled softly when he saw Jin Miaomiao's look. The situation in the Ningchang Palace was indeed quite complicated. In the Xijing Ning Palace, which only had a few hundred people, the informants of various forces accounted for only a small part. Most of them come from his colleagues, old friends, and relatives-in-law. On the contrary, they are his political opponents, those royal relatives, nobles, and military generals, none of whom have ever sent an informant.
Thinking about it this way, Xue Ruitian feels that Ning Changguo is also very pitiful. Those who are worried about him and wary of him are actually in the same camp as him. They all have more or less connections with power and money. Even if they know I can't tell which mansion the informants in the mansion come from, I can only keep it in my heart. As for whether it will happen, it depends on whether there is an opportunity.
Thinking of this, Xue Ruitian couldn't help but shake his head. Ning Changguo had worked hard to seemingly climb to the top. He was below one person and above tens of thousands of people. He was in a high and powerful position, but he still lived a life that he couldn't help himself. There were many things that he couldn't do by himself. He makes the decision, but the order comes from him. The interests involved are not the person who actually issued the order, but him, the puppet, who bears the grudge.
Not only that, Ning Changguo didn't even have his own independent, private space and time. He pretended to be outside and continued to pretend at home. He knew very well who he came into contact with and what he said to whom. , even the few times he had intimacy with his wives and concubines, it would be quickly spread out of the house.
Xue Ruitian sighed softly. I don't know how Ning Changguo can survive such a day. If it were him, he wouldn't be able to bear it for a day. He might have exploded long ago and cleaned up all the informants.
"What are you thinking about?" Jin Jing yawned and hooked Xue Ruitian's shoulder, "I was so absorbed in thinking that I called you several times but you didn't respond."
"No!" Xue Ruitian shook his head gently, "I'm just feeling a little emotional. Although Ning Changguo was a new generation leader in the literary world during his lifetime, how did those literati praise him at the beginning, how did they trample on him after his accident, and how did they praise him in the beginning? Literary talent, how to appreciate his talent, and then scold him for being rebellious and unworthy of setting an example in the literary world. Think about it again, since ancient times, although there are heroes and ambitious people among scholars, most of them are still duplicitous villains. "
"There are duplicitous villains in every group, including military generals and nobles." Jin Jing patted him on the shoulder, "What you just said can only illustrate one point. Those who stab themselves in the back will never They are all people around me, and they are all friends with whom we have had a lot of fun."
"A person will only be betrayed by his friends. Enemies will never have such a chance, right?" Shen Cha chuckled, "I'm afraid Ning Changguo could not have imagined that after the Dong Chuang incident, those who would inflict pain on him were those who pursue him every day and pursue him every day. Colleagues who came to visit his house." She tapped her fingers rhythmically on the table, and said while tapping, "Those who read his memorial and asked His Majesty to severely punish him, and asked His Majesty not to let anyone from Ning Mansion go free, are all These are so-called friends, so-called old friends, so-called irreconcilable acquaintances.”
"King An once said that rather than saying that Ning Changguo was angry to death by his own brother, it would be better to say that he was angry to death by his own brother and his so-called close colleagues, disciples, and subordinates."
"Yes!" Shen Haolin nodded, "On the contrary, it is people who have a different stance from him. We military generals, nobles, and royal children did not complain. Instead, we advised Your Majesty to try not to get involved as much as possible."
"Isn't this a typical example of people taking advantage of the situation?" Jin Jing sneered, "You must know that the people who know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages are these scholars. They have much more eyesight than ordinary people, and most of them don't have to work in the field. In a serious place."
"This is understandable. After all, when the Ningchang Kingdom incident happened, if they didn't set fire to him, trample him to death, and completely prevent him from turning around, then they might be the ones who would be implicated. Besides, if Unless Ningchang is completely wiped out, once there are signs of a comeback, they will still be the unlucky ones."
"I don't know where these scholars have gone after so many years of reading." Jin Miaomiao shook her head helplessly, "They look down on businessmen pursuing profit, but they have done more than the businessmen, haven't they? ?」
"How can you not pursue profit?" Xue Ruitian sneered, "It's just using a good reputation to cover up the past."
"The agency calculated it, but instead threw the lives of the three own clans into it. What are they trying to do?" Jin Miaomiao sneered, "Life only lasts for a few decades, live well, isn't it good? They mess around, and they cooperate inside and outside. , they colluded with evil cults and even foreign races to bring trouble to the Xia Dynasty, causing harm to the people, and they still need us military officers, who are hostile to them, to deal with the aftermath for them. It’s really..."
"It's annoying, isn't it?" Yes." He bared his teeth at Jin Miaomiao, "Anyway, we still have to settle the account in the end. If we exchange it for gold or silver, we won't lose."
"That's true."
"Okay!" One thing is that the later Mrs. Ning, the Miss Lu family of Changzhou Prefecture decades ago, was not a lady who was raised in a boudoir and knew nothing about the world. This has something to do with the family style of the Lu family. The Lu family is different from other clans in the south of the Yangtze River. Too much the same. Girls learn the same things as boys. Poems, books, etiquette, music, painting, chess, riding, archery, and polo are no different from what boys learn. Also, the Lu family believes that women can discuss government affairs and publish Therefore, many far-sighted officials are willing to marry girls from the Lu family. In their opinion, this is the real good wife. However, the girls from the Lu family have extremely high vision, and they Their marriage is not decided by their parents or elders in the family. They can make their own decisions. Of course, their elders and parents can provide candidates, but in the end it is up to them to decide. Therefore, Mrs. Ning chose her husband by herself and has nothing to do with others. "
"The Lu family is pretty good!" Shen Cha smiled, "If all the big clans in Jiangnan were like this, they might not be where they are now!"
