Chapter Sixty-Eight: Lost and Returned

After the closure of the city, the Prime Minister's Mansion welcomed a guest from Lin'an.

Fu Piao led General Zhang Zhongshu to avoid his eyes and ears, and quietly entered the guest room of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After receiving the news that Fu Piao escorted the Lin'an envoy back, the old prime minister Lin Zhen was restless and waited in the guest room for a long time.

The housemaid trotted to the door and said, "Father-in-law, Fu Langjun is back." ”

Lin Zhen immediately got up and dressed and went out the door.

It was already dark, there was no light in the courtroom, it was pitch black, only the rustling of maple leaves was heard, and two or three insect chirpings came from the bushes, and the atmosphere was strange.

At this time, two black shadows appeared in the door of the atrium, walking towards this side one after the other. The young man floated behind, and the one in front strode forward, his face covered by a dark cloak, revealing only a handful of long gray beards. This person is a dragon and a tiger, and his momentum is impressive.

Zhang Zhongshu came to see Lin Zhen in private, and the people in the palace didn't know about it.

"General, please." Lin Zhen welcomed him to the guest room.

Zhang Zhongshu took off his cloak, walked into the living room with Lin Jin, and sat down opposite the coffee table.

The two old friends haven't seen each other for many years, and their eyes are full of tears, they don't say a word about the friendship they once had, they all express it in their eyes, after all, it's obviously not good to reminisce in this extraordinary period.

Lin Zhen instructed the maid to boil tea, and when the maid withdrew from serving tea, Fu Piao closed the partition door, knelt in front of the door, and waited by the sword. You must know that in Changshan Country, there is nowhere without the eyeliner placed by the Fan family.

"Since the general's trip is here, how is the dragon body?" Lin Zhen asked.

"Your Majesty is a heart disease, it's not a big deal, Ming Gong doesn't have to worry." Zhang Zhongshu brushed his messy beard, brushed off his sleeves, drank a cup of tea to moisten his lips, and got straight to the point, "I brought the edict of His Majesty Xuan Changshan King to enter Beijing to congratulate the new emperor, who can convey the news to Changshan King?" His Majesty specially explained that he wanted King Changshan to prophet about this matter, and I would enter the palace again to summon him. Is there a reliable candidate for Ming Gong? ”

Lin Zhen nodded yes. The king is trapped in the cage, there is no communication with the outside world, and the foreign ministers and daughters are not allowed to enter the inner palace.

Lin Zhen glanced at Fu Piao in front of the door. Fu Piao said: "We have lost contact with Changshan Palace, in addition to this, there is one more person who can do it." His name is Shen Whale, and he once communicated with me in secret. ”

"Shen Whale available?"

"It's the face of Fan Guifei, who often walks in the inner house. He claimed that he had received the favor of the king and that he would like to be a bridge in the middle, and that he could trust him completely. ”

Thinking of His Majesty's departure to the south, Lin Zhen was moved: "Your Majesty is willing to give up the throne in order to save the young monarch." His Majesty entrusted the young monarch to us, and the old minister did his best and died. ”

Zhang Zhongshu said: "Your Majesty has a great reason to make this decision, I'm afraid it is difficult to speak, Ming Gong is also an old minister of Lin'an, and he is very clear about his original situation." Ming Gong still remembers that when Mrs. Mulan was in trouble, Ming Gong had protected her. ”

Lin Zhen couldn't be clearer about the matter, but I don't know why he suddenly mentioned Mrs. Mulan, who has been dead for many years: "Your Majesty is thin-skinned, and she has a deep affection for Mrs. Mulan, and I saved her life because Her Majesty was too attentive, worried that Her Majesty would damage her hair and skin, and she didn't want to make progress." General, fourteen years have passed, since the death of Mrs. Mulan, His Majesty has been sick with the dragon's body, and it has not been cured so far, which makes the old minister very worried. ”

Zhang Zhongshu was also full of feelings: "How can I not." In the Lin'an court, the father and daughter had a quarrel, the king of Changshan was angry with the courtiers, and His Majesty expelled her from Lin'an, and she didn't open her mouth to explain if she misunderstood, worrying about her, missing her, worrying about her, and the disease became more and more serious. Among His Majesty's many children, a few of them were able to get such protection as His Majesty's protection, and gave her the eastern important land as a county, and regardless of the opposition of the ministers, he arranged Ming Gongyou, Zhen Wangshi, General Huyan, General Cen and other old ministers on her left and right, and connived in every way, for fear that she would be humiliated. Didn't Ming Gong doubt that among the six princesses, what was the reason why His Majesty favored King Changshan. ”

"Feng's affair with Wei Hou has no evidence at all. Who can see the conspiracy in the inner palace clearly and understand it. ”

"Nope." Zhang Zhongshu looked at Lin Jin, "Ming Gong, I thought about it for a long time on the way here, and finally figured out one thing. ”

Lin Zhen smiled: "What can make General Zhang, who is out of the matter, so worried?" ”

"In the fifth year of Yuanyou, after the king of Changshan returned to his ancestors and recognized his ancestors, His Majesty and I discussed matters, often hugged her on his lap to listen to the government, once she squatted down to pick up the Bo chopstick, I accidentally saw that the king of Changshan is here." Zhang Zhongshu pointed to his neck, "Wearing a piece of white jade deer, I thought it was my own dazzle, but then I gradually forgot about it." ”

"You mean, the white jade deer buried in the sea of fire with Lady Mulan appeared on Shaojun's body?" Lin Zhen was shocked, his beard trembled, he slowly calmed down, and his old hand grabbed his knee, "Your Majesty is an insider, and I didn't tell you." Bai Yulu is involved in Mrs. Mulan and Feng Shuyuan, don't make a noise, don't let Shaojun know that Feng Shuyuan has also passed away, let it settle forever. ”

As it got late, Fu Piao escorted General Zhang Zhongshu back to his accommodation, and after opening in the middle of the next day, he sent a message to Shen Whale, who really kept his promise, received a secret letter from Fu Piao, and rushed to King Changshan's dormitory in full clothes.

Kunjiao and the others were serving Yuan Lingjun to change their clothes, and they were carefully putting on a white jade deer for her.

Fan Xin ate silently on the side, and if he wasn't careful, he wouldn't have noticed his savings at all.

Hyosung rises, the chamberlain opens the door of the main hall, and 90,000 deliver letters in.

Yuan Lingjun was dressed neatly, hurriedly took the letter that sealed the mud, unfolded it and read it, and threw it in the tea stove and burned it. After a moment of silence, Yuan Lingjun lowered his head and laughed.

She lifted her face, and Fan Xin's side face crashed into sight. Probably to avoid the sound of sucking porridge, Fan Xin scooped up the porridge spoonful, and put the spoon back into the bowl without making a sound.

He is like a wood without a soul. Yuan Lingjun's expression froze, frowned, and felt very bad, so the inner servant sent it to the court to eat, she deliberately drank the porridge to a hula sound, deliberately put down the dishes vigorously, and let the noise made by her own hands fill the entire hall, after using up the porridge, she made a loud hiccup with satisfaction, and then pushed away the food table, slumped on the seat, and asked loudly: "Which palace chief recorded the living last night?" ”

When the female official outside heard the voice, she stepped to kneel under the curtain and replied: "The king, the minister Wu is on duty." ”

It was this Wu family who caused her to be physically and mentally shackled, like a puppet. Yuan Lingjun gritted his teeth and creaked: "Lone has been up for a long time, what are you still doing here." Go to Chongyang Hall to return, today is the fourth day. "She doesn't have to die with Fan Xin this month.

Yuan Lingjun looked at Fan Xin defiantly. As long as she leaves Changshan, what can Fan Jiang do to her?

Fan Xin was unpleasant and stood up from his seat.

"Lang Jun?!" The chamberlain handed over his sword.

"None of the men in the inner palace need to wear swords." Yuan Lingjun was aggrieved for too long, deliberately embarrassing Fan Xin, he didn't care about his drastic change in face at all, and walked out of the hall in his clothes.

The mood is happy, and the boxy sky becomes clear and bright. She held down the jade deer and exhaled a breath of turbidity.

A little waiter with a young eye came over and whispered: "The lord is going to the Hande Palace, the edict official has entered the palace and announced the edict in the previous dynasty." ”

Yuan Lingjun called out "ninety thousand", and ran in the direction of Hande Hall with his skirt.
