When she came back from Chen Ling's house, Lin Yan still couldn't help but ask the emperor, "Who do you think that kid is?" What the emperor talked about with his father just now, the concubines couldn't understand it at all. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

The emperor sat on the couch, his face was still frowning slightly, and said to Lin Yan: "You know the Chen family, which was prominent when the first emperor was famous. ”

Of course, Lin Yan knew that the descendants of the first emperor were the maiden family of Empress Chen after the first emperor was abolished. However, because Empress Chen and King Qi later united to force the palace to rebel, and finally Empress Chen was deposed and executed, the Chen family participated in the rebellion as a descendant, and was also exterminated.

The emperor said: "That child looks very much like Chen Ming, the uncle of the Six Kingdoms back then. ”

If it is just a coincidence that he looks alike, but with the addition of a person with the same surname "Chen", then this child is very likely to be the fish that slipped through the net when the Chen family raided the family and exterminated the clan.

Lin Yan understood a little when she heard this, and asked, "The emperor suspects that this child is the child of Uncle Liuguo back then. ”

When he rescued the child on the way, the emperor wanted to bring it back with him. If it's just an ordinary child fainting on the road, let the doctor take a look, and then let a person send it to a nearby family for people to be treated, but there is no need to bring it back, and it will delay his own trip.

But then he felt that it was wrong, and said: "Hey, it's not right, it's been twenty years since the Chen family was raided, and if it was the son of Uncle Liuguo back then, he would be twenty years old now, to say the least." But the child was only about ten years old. ”

The emperor said: "Before the rebellion of Empress Chen, Uncle Liuguo had a concubine who died of illness. At that time, the concubine was about eleven or twelve years old, if he didn't die of illness but was sent away by the Chen family and escaped, and then married a wife and had children, the child would be about ten years old. ”

Lin Yan nodded when she listened, indicating that she understood.

When Empress Chen rebelled against King Qi, Lin Yan was only six or seven years old, and many things were naturally not so clear. And the Chen family reported that the child who died of illness was a concubine, which was really unnoticeable, and now that twenty years have passed, it is not surprising that Lin Yan does not know.

At that time, the Chen family was also an important minister with military power, and there was another queen, and the queen also gave birth to a prince, which was really beautiful and illustrious for a while, just like the current Lin family. As a result, because of the rebellion between Empress Chen and King Qi, the clan was finally wiped out, and even children of a few years old could not be spared.

It can also be seen that although the relatives look at the scenery, it is also an extremely dangerous job, and if they are not careful, they may be buried with the whole family.

The Emperor continued: "Uncle Liuguo is actually a good man, I was often bullied by other brothers when I was young, and he also helped me out of the siege. After a pause, he said: "Actually, the Chen family was a little wronged when they didn't destroy the clan, Empress Chen rebelled against King Qi, and only the big house of the Chen family helped Empress Chen, and the rest of the Chen family did not agree with her doing this." But Chen Hou was defeated, and it was the entire Chen family that was implicated. ”

Lin Yan sighed, so this is the power of the clan to sit together. If she makes a mistake one day, no matter whether the Lin family is innocent or not, she will be implicated. And if the Lin family makes a mistake, she, the queen, will not be able to sit steadily.

In fact, Empress Chen is also very pitiful, she is the original partner of the first emperor, and before the mourning prince was killed, she could be regarded as a virtuous queen. The first emperor was romantic, and there were many harems, but she was able to survive so many princes and princesses, which shows that she is not a particularly bad person.

It was only later that the crown prince was poisoned by the second prince, and since then, Empress Chen's temperament has changed greatly. Later, the emperor killed the second prince and set up the emperor as the crown prince, and Chen Hou followed the idea that whoever is the ultimate beneficiary is the murderer, coupled with King Qi's obstruction and sowing discord, thinking that it was the emperor who poisoned the second prince to poison the prince, so when the first emperor was terminally ill for ten thousand years, he united with King Qi to force the palace to rebel and wanted to kill the emperor and the first emperor.

Empress Chen thought that she was avenging her son, but she didn't know that King Qi was the one who poisoned the prince with the second prince.

Lin Yan asked, "Then what does the emperor want to do with that child?" Saying that, he was worried: "You said that he wouldn't have come back to the emperor on purpose to take revenge, right?" Then Lin Yan suddenly made up a big drama in her mind: "The old minister was unjustly killed, and the son of the old minister came back to seek revenge on the emperor".

The emperor gave Lin Yan a boring look and said: "What kind of revenge, it is a fact that Empress Chen rebelled back then, and the Chen family was implicated by it and ordered to exterminate the clan by the first emperor, which is not completely wronged." Even if the Chen family really wants to find someone to take revenge, it should be to find King Chen Houqi or Emperor Xian, what does it have to do with me. I did not force Empress Chen to rebel, nor did I order the killing of the Chen family, and I even interceded for his Chen family back then. What's more, if you really want revenge, who will send a child about ten years old over, the Chen family worked hard to send his parents out, but it was for the Chen family's incense, not for the revenge and death. ”

As he spoke, he asked Lin Yan again: "If it were you, the child who was finally sent out, would you want him to come back to take revenge on me, the successor emperor?" ”

Lin Yan shrugged her shoulders, that naturally won't happen. Regardless of whether they are wronged or not, it is already a fact that the Chen family was exterminated, and it is fundamentally impossible to come back to find the royal revenge by shaking the tree. Since this is the case, she naturally hopes that the person who escaped will inherit the family's incense. Besides, the first emperor ordered the extermination of the Chen family, which was not wronged.

The emperor said: "I have already asked your father to check this child's life history, and find out if he is a descendant of the Chen family back then." ”

Lin Yan glanced at the emperor, and asked with some concern: "If it is found out, what does the emperor plan to do?" Will it cut the grass and eradicate the roots. ”

The emperor glanced at her and said, "I haven't been so ruthless. ”

Lin Ying's investigation was still very fast, but after half a day's effort, he found out that Chen Ling and his parents had indeed encountered a bandit, and his parents had indeed been killed. All I know is that they are outsiders, who moved to a nearby village a few years ago, and the family does not interact with people very often.

But after the family came, there was a series of disasters in the village, and the people of the village thought that their family had brought the disaster to the village, so they drove them out. Then they met the bandits, their parents were killed, and only Chen Ling escaped.

Lin Ying said to the emperor: "The minister also found out that the person who told the bandits to let the bandits rob Chen Ling's family is the villagers in the village. ”

The emperor shook his head when he heard this, and said, "It's really a sinister heart, and it can't be enlightened. As he spoke, he said to Lin Ying: "Spread my words to the local government and put the thieves on the mountain to the nest." He frowned again as he spoke, and said, "Those bandits can rob on the road at will, and the inaction of the government is indispensable." "I'm afraid that even the collusion of officials and bandits is possible.

The Emperor was a little disappointed, and along the way, the Emperor had seen too many things about his courtiers that disappointed him.

Lin Ying said yes, and then said: "Time is limited, there is only so much that the minister can find out, if you want to investigate the child's life history in depth, I'm afraid it will take some time." Your Majesty, do you want to continue to investigate? ”

The emperor said: "Forget it, there is no need to check. Regardless of whether he was the child of the Chen family back then, it was meaningless to find out. "If he didn't intend to kill him, why bother.

Lin Ying asked again: "Then what does the emperor plan to do with that child?" ”

The emperor said, "Find a solid family nearby, leave some silver, and give it to them to raise." ”

As a result, not long after, Princess Jun came to the emperor and said, "Father, let the little brother follow us, he has no father and no mother, so pitiful." ”

The Emperor smiled and asked her, "You seem to like him very much." He said: "It's not okay to let him follow us, and when we go back to the palace in the future, won't we still bring him into the palace." ”

Princess Jun said: "Then why not, anyway, there are so many empty houses in the palace, or your father, you let him live in the palace of the fourth brother, and let him accompany the fourth brother to study in the future." Saying that, he said coquettishly: "Father, just keep him, you see how pitiful he is." ”

Is there a time when Princess Jun insists on one thing so much, the emperor can't bear to refuse his daughter, thinks for a while, and then says, "That's okay, let him follow us for the time being." ”

It's a big deal to return to Beijing later, throw him to Lin Ying, and let the Lin family raise him, and the Lin family will raise a protégé in the future.

Princess Jun became happy, hugged the emperor's neck and kissed him twice, and said, "Thank you, father, father is really a good person." ”

The Emperor smiled and touched her head, then pinched her little face. (To be continued.) )
