Chapter 176: Revenge
Concubine Shun has always been supple and will not compete, even if she enters the palace and is one of the nine concubines, she has not asked for any benefits for her mother's family for so many years, so although the Zhang family has been very downtrodden over the years.
But no matter how you say it, there is still a Concubine Shun who entered the palace and became one of the nine concubines in the palace, even if others look down on the Zhang family in their hearts, for the sake of Concubine Shun, at most it is just some sour words, and it is not necessary to really embarrass the Zhang family.
Because of this, although Zhang Zhenming has not had much glory over the years, he has never had to endure hardships.
People who have never suffered will inevitably have some disregard between actions.
This is the case with Zhang Zhenming.
As early as when he learned of Concubine Shun's death, Zhang Zhenming, who was not angry, had the idea of seeking justice for his sister, but in the end, he was stronger than people, even if he had this idea, how could he seek justice for his sister from the current emperor.
So these days, I can only suppress the anger in my heart.
But now it's different, just with the prince's face that resembles Lin Zhan, he is at least sixty percent sure that the prince is absolutely inseparable from Lin Zhan, not to mention other abnormalities in Lin Zhan.
My sister died because of a rumor, so he will give the emperor a rumor.
made up his mind, Zhang Zhenming did not procrastinate, and immediately took action.
Fortunately, Zhang Zhenming knew that if what he wanted to do was found out in the future, his wife and children would definitely be implicated in the family, so he was extremely careful in his actions.
Due to the famine in Jiangnan and other places, there have been many refugees begging along the streets in the capital recently, and Zhang Zhenming has set his sights on these refugees.
For the refugees, what they fear most now is starvation, as long as they are given a bite to eat so that they can survive, even if they are allowed to kill people and set fires, they will dare, let alone just spread some rumors.
So, Zhang Zhenming disguised himself to hide his identity, and carried a few bags of grain from home, and found a refugee leader in the relatively remote north of the city.
"As long as you do something for me, this grain will be yours." Zhang Zhenming pointed to the grain piled on the ground and said lightly.
Beggars have a sense of territory, and these refugees are now similar to beggars, and naturally they are no exception.
Today's people in the capital are in danger because of the famine, and it is too late to hoard food at home, and naturally there will be no surplus food to give to these refugees.
One can imagine the temptation of a few large bags of food for those refugees who are already hungry.
The so-called refugee leader is just a little stronger than others, and he can drink two more mouthfuls of porridge than others at each meal, so he naturally can't refuse the temptation of food.
Fearing that Zhang Zhenming would regret it, the refugee leader asked him to put away a few bags of grain first, and then looked at Zhang Zhenming, "What do you want us to do?" I have collected the food, but we are just ordinary people hiding from the famine, and if it is beyond our ability, then we are fine. ”
Zhang Zhenming had been watching the grain he brought in being put away, and only then did he smile slightly and say, "Don't worry, this matter must be within your ability, and it can even be regarded as very easy for you." I just want you to spread a rumor all over the capital within a few days......"
Speaking of this, Zhang Zhenming sneered and said his guess in the words he had come up with.
After listening to Zhang Zhenming's words, he sat down on the ground in horror, and pointed at Zhang Zhenming with trembling hands, "Your Majesty...... Prince...... You ......"
But he was so scared that he couldn't even say a complete sentence, and he wanted to regret it.
Seeing this, Zhang Zhenming's face sank, and he glanced at him with gloomy eyes, "What's the matter, you accepted the uncle's things and knew this secret, do you still want to regret it?" ”
Although he was frightened by what Zhang Zhenming wanted him to do, he also knew that if he really wanted to regret it, the person in front of him probably didn't plan to keep him and his subordinates.
If you regret it, you will die immediately.
If you follow this man's words, you may not need to die, and those sacks of food will be enough for him and his subordinates to eat for a long time.
Besides, it's just a word, with the situation of refugees everywhere in the capital now, even if he really spreads the word, I'm afraid that even the current emperor may not be able to find out where the source of the rumors is, even if it is found out from the mouths of these refugees, can the emperor still be willing to risk the world's condemnation at this special moment and kill these refugees who are already unable to live?
After thinking about it carefully, the refugee leader was ruthless, gritted his teeth, and nodded at Zhang Zhenming: "Don't worry, since the little one has received your grain, this matter will be handled properly for you!" ”
Zhang Zhenming carefully looked at the yellow-skinned man in front of him, as if he was assessing the credibility of his words, and nodded for a long time before he nodded, and said: "Okay, the words are said here, the uncle will believe you once, as long as you do things well, the uncle is not a stingy person, but if things are messed up...... Uncle is not a big man in the capital, but to clean you up, it's just a matter of waving his hand! ”
The refugee leader's heart trembled, and he did not doubt the truth of Zhang Zhenming's words.
These refugees, who live on some porridge every day, are already as cheap as grass, and anyone who pinches them lightly can kill them.
But ants still steal life, if they can live, who wants to die?
In order to survive, what can they do in their usual eyes?
After thinking about this, the refugee leader had no resistance in his heart, and repeatedly promised Zhang Zhenming to do things well, so he sent Zhang Zhenming out with a smile all the way.
This refugee leader is also a single, and after sending Zhang Zhenming away, he immediately set about what Zhang Zhenming explained.
After Zhang Zhenming scattered some of the grain, within two days, a sensational rumor had already spread among the refugees begging for food in various parts of the capital.
Today, the emperor is suffering from a hidden disease......
There are 3,000 beauties in the harem, but only Concubine Ning gave birth to a son and a daughter......
The crown prince and Princess Hanyue are actually not royal blood at all, but were born of Concubine Ning and her childhood sweetheart when they were young......
The prince's appearance is not at all like the current emperor, but he is five or six points similar to Concubine Ning's childhood sweetheart......
The current emperor has been wearing a green hat for more than 20 years, and he still wants to hand over the country of the Great Wu Dynasty to this cheap son......
Just like the last time about the strange rumors about the prince of Anguo, as if just a carelessness, the people of the capital suddenly found that when they occasionally went out to walk, they could always hear the mysterious exchange of heads and ears of the refugees begging on the side of the road, and they would glance in the direction of the palace at every turn, and then exchange an ambiguous and ambiguous look.
There was a curious person who deliberately approached the corner of the listening wall, and the refugees did not care, and whispered to themselves, if someone handed them a steamed bun in front of them, they did not hesitate to relieve people's doubts, and turned to talk about the two or three things about the emperor and the green hat today......
Q: Where did they get this news?
That person must give you a disdainful look, don't you know, the capital has already spread all over the city!
In addition to a few main roads that do not allow refugees to set foot in the capital today, other streets and alleys can be seen in groups of hungry refugees in twos and threes, so the news spread almost effortlessly.
But you know that the matter involves the nobles in the palace, and the content of the rumors is so terrifying, except for those refugees, from the hundreds of officials in the court and the central government, to the ordinary people, after hearing about this rumor, no one dared to openly discuss this matter, at most they only dared to murmur in their hearts.
This muttering really made many people suspicious.
If you want to talk about the situation in this palace, it is really a bit strange, the number of concubines in the palace is not small, but over the years, except for Concubine Ning, there is really no one who has an heir.
If the emperor has worked hard for so many years, it is unlikely that Concubine Ning will get all the good luck and fruits alone, but so many other concubines will have no harvest.
But if it is really as the rumors say, the current emperor has a hidden illness......
The background of the prince and Princess Hanyue......
This night, many people in the capital trembled because of this speculation.
As a result, the originally noisy capital suddenly became extremely calm, and under the calm surface, there were tyrannical raging waves, which only needed an introduction to break people's bones.
It is related to the blood of the royal family, and it involves the innocence of the biological mother of the prince and Princess Hanyue, no matter how much the courtiers who have won the trust of the emperor do not dare to hand over the content of the rumors to the palace at this time, everyone knows that no matter whether the rumors are true or not, the person who stabbed this matter in front of the emperor will not have good fruit to eat, and even the life of the family will have to be put into it.
After a few days of such an eerie calm, someone finally couldn't help but break the false calm.
That person is Gonggong Lin.
Although Gonggong Lin seems to be no different from usual on the surface these days, only he knows how excited he is every time he is alone.
He has been looking forward to this day for a long time, and it may be traced back to the day he heard the news of the death of the queen mother.
From the day Han Su pulled him out of the pile of dead, he had already given his life to Han Su, and when the world was initially decided, the Dawu Dynasty was established, and Zhao Tiannan, who ascended the throne as the emperor, gave the title of Queen Han Su in front of the soldiers of the three armies.
In his heart, only Han Su can be worthy of the word queen.
Gonggong Lin originally thought that he would keep watching the queen mother in his heart in the palace until the day he closed his eyes.
But I never thought that the queen would die early at the age when the flowers were at their peak.
She didn't even have time to take a good look at the country she had worked hard for for more than ten years.
Gonggong Lin knew that the queen mother was going strangely, if it weren't for the prophecy of the queen mother before she died, I am afraid that he would have sent that person to the underworld to accompany the queen mother regardless of the cheap of his identity.
The fathers-in-law in the palace are all disabled, and their psychology is inevitably a little different from ordinary people.
Father-in-law Lin originally thought that although he was physically incomplete, he was still psychologically normal.
But now, he himself feels that maybe he is really a little abnormal.
Otherwise, how could he obviously hate to death, but he could always pretend to be flawless and loyal in front of that person?
Otherwise, how could he have such a sense of excitement in his heart when he heard the rumors that suddenly appeared in the capital reported by the people below?
Gently stroking the letterhead in his hand, a smile slowly appeared on Gonggong Lin's face.
Your Majesty, as your loyal subordinate for so many years, I really can't wait to share this news with you......
When Gonggong Lin entered the imperial study, Zhao Tiannan was losing his temper.
The piled up of folds on the imperial case were swept to the ground at this time, and at a glance, you can see the black and white words on the scattered folds, and if you look closely, you may be able to see a few more important and prominent words.
Since the last time I learned that Han Su's bones were burned by Queen Su and vomited blood, Zhao Tiannan not only has a big body compared to before, but even his temper has become more and more difficult to control.
At this time, waiting by Zhao Tiannan's side was a newly raised little father-in-law, Xu had never seen Zhao Tiannan have such a big temper, the young father-in-law was so frightened that his legs were weak, so he knelt down on Zhao Tiannan's side, and shouted "The emperor spares his life".
Gonggong Lin secretly shook his head in his heart, just begging for mercy, what use can it be, the founding emperor of the Dawu Dynasty has never been a soft-hearted person.
Sure enough, the next moment, Zhao Tiannan frowned because of the father-in-law's incessant begging for mercy, if he hadn't raised his eyes and saw Gonggong Lin, maybe the father-in-law would have been able to stay alive.
The brows that were tightly twisted into a knot loosened, Zhao Tiannan no longer looked at the kneeling father-in-law, waved his hand to let people go down, and then turned to Gonggong Lin, and said, "Gonggong Lin, it's good that you are here, these eyeless things are just not as pleasant as Gonggong Lin is by my side." ”
Gonggong Lin snorted slightly when he heard this, and then sent the tonic soup in his hand to Zhao Tiannan, "The emperor has to take care of his body, why should he be angry with those eyeless things." ”
After Zhao Tiannan drank the still warm tonic soup, Lin Gonggong said again: "I don't know why the emperor is so angry?" ”
Actually, there is no need for Zhao Tiannan to answer, Gonggong Lin also knows the answer. (To be continued.) )
