The letter explained in detail that the last time Xiao Shitou was killed was due to a mistake in the capital.
The fault lies with Ding Changhe's mother, Ding Han.
Ding Shengkang was left behind by the regent in the capital, and his mansion had an informant arranged by him.
Ding Shengkang's stay in Beijing also secretly provided convenience for his son to obtain information in advance. ?.?????.???
Unexpectedly, after a quarrel between Ding Hanshi and Ding Shengkang, they accidentally said that when a small stone passed by a certain place, it would be hit by a bigger stone sooner or later. God would not let him go without a grandmother like her in his eyes.
An interested person heard the news and sent it to the Regent's Palace. After learning about it, the eldest son of the Regent investigated the route and set up ambushes in several places.
The regent seized Ding Changhe's power because he suspected that the eldest son's death was related to Ding Changhe, but he had no evidence, so he reduced his military power first.
Ding Changhe burned the letter so that no one could know about it. Especially Xiao Shitou and An Ran. They had a bad relationship before. If this happened again, An Ran would dare to fight Ding Han with a knife.
Ding Changhe also felt deeply powerless. With such a mother, what could he do? This was still under his father's nose, and his mother could cause trouble. Living under the nose of others, she didn't learn to be cautious in her words and deeds.
Two days before the child was one month old, Ding Changhe finally decided on the character "Heng" as his son's name.
"Ding Ziheng, how about this name?"
An Ran smiled and said, "How can I know so much? The one I picked is naturally good."
An Ran chewed the name slowly and felt it was very good.
Ding Changhe was lying on the kang, teasing his son, and said: "Ping'er was born prematurely and is weak. I chose the word "ping" just to make him feel better and safe. Our son has a good foundation. As long as he has perseverance in doing things, If you have perseverance, you will surely achieve something.”
An Ran smiled and said, "It's not even a month old. How can such a young child see so much?"
Ding Changhe didn't like hearing it anymore, "Why can't you see that this child's achievements in the future will definitely not be worse than that of Xiao Shitou."
"Yes, I taught you carefully from the beginning. It's not like a little stone growing up in a free range. How can this compare. But uncle, don't be too biased. If you have a little one, just ignore the little stone."
Ding Changhe sat up, pulled An Ran over and said, "Look at what you said, Xiao Shitou is the eldest son, and he will have a heavy burden in the future. It is impossible to indulge him. Now that he has a younger brother, he will have a helper even if he encounters trouble in the future. It’s more worry-free than doing it alone.”
"Then why don't you give him a nickname? In the countryside, they say the nickname is cheap and it's easier to make a living."
Ding Changhe shook his head, "If you don't take it, it's just a small stone. Do you have any good nicknames in the village? Let's call him Zi Heng, or Lao San. Don't use random nicknames."
Ding Ziheng ranked third, Big Little Stone, and second was Ding Changsong's eldest son, Ding Chenghao.
Indeed, nicknames are given randomly in the countryside. What kind of bullshit, iron pillars, stones, and female dolls are like big ya two ya girls. Several of them can come out at the same time, which is really not nice to hear.
An Ran looked at her son who was lying on the bed playing by himself, picked him up and said, "Let's call him Heng'er. It sounds much better than your brother's name. Isn't it? Your father is partial."
Ding Changhe smiled and held the mother and son in his arms. At this moment, he just wanted to hold them quietly without being disturbed by worldly things.
But reality doesn't allow it.
On the day of the full moon, the three brothers Ding Changhe went to the backyard to discuss things early in the morning.
There are only three brothers, the tea server is a small stone, and the door is guarded by a mountain.
Ding Changchuan said cheerfully: "The eldest nephew is not bad. He has good kung fu training. At such a young age, your father even asked you to come and listen. Your uncle did not allow me to listen to their discussions until I was fifteen years old."
When Xiao Shitou heard his uncle's praise, he grinned and said, "Third uncle, I'm so capable, but my father still doesn't look down on me. I don't dare to let go at all."
Ding Changsong was also amused. At home, no one dared to talk nonsense in front of Ding Changhe.
Ding Changhe knocked on the table with a stern face. Xiao Shitou put away the smile on his face and hurriedly picked up the water and refilled it for the three of them.
"Up until now, the imperial court is still grinding its teeth. The regent has sent generals to challenge him, but he has never recruited his eldest brother to come back." Ding Changsong knew his eldest brother's abilities and felt sorry for him.
Ding Changhe glanced at his two younger brothers and said, "The emperor deliberately delayed it."
"The emperor is delaying it intentionally." Ding Changchuan asked: "Brother, does the emperor also want to suppress our Ding family?"
Xiao Shitou listened to the three people talking and thought it was impossible. They were secretly the emperor's people and the emperor should not do this.
But today he was allowed to sit in, and his father said, listen more and talk less.
"Why did the emperor rush to let General Zhang fight as soon as the war started? He knew that he was in such a bad state and he knew that he would lose, but he still let him go."
Ding Changsong thought for a while, "The old general has made great achievements in battle, but his two sons are from the regent."
Ding Changhe nodded, "Yes, his two sons are not in a great position now. As long as the old general falls, it will be too difficult to achieve the current prestige."
Ding Changsong said: "Is this the emperor taking the opportunity to exploit the regent's people?"
When he looked up, he saw Xiao Shitou with his eyes open, eager to try, and asked: "Xiao Shitou, what do you think? Tell me."
When Xiao Shitou saw his second uncle asking him, he turned to look at his father.
Ding Changhe nodded, and Xiao Shitou cleared his throat and said: "I think the emperor wants the regent's people to attack first. If he wins, it will be good. If he loses, he will lose face and his troops. Dad. You don’t need to be appointed by the emperor, naturally the regent will also mention it.”
