A full moon like a silver disc hung on the branch of the leafy old locust tree within the palace wall. Looking back at the majestic palaces and pavilions in the Daming Palace under the moonlight, Li Jinzhong rode on horseback outside the Danfeng Gate, and couldn't help but think about it.

He, an ordinary eunuch from a poor family, with an ugly appearance, and no extraordinary, has become a prince for the first time in history after experiencing countless ups and downs in the Daming Palace!

Li Jinzhong narrowed his eyes and fantasized pleasantly:

Isn't this bright moon hanging high in the sky today the embodiment of himself? From then on, he was the only king with a different surname in the whole world, not to mention that the emperor still called him "Shang Father"! If the emperor is compared to the sun in the daytime, then he is not the only moon in the night sky, although it is not enough to compete with the sun, but it can also dominate the sky and enjoy a unique respect!

No, Wang Bao'er, as the emperor's personal attendant, also began to secretly send Qiu Bo to himself, took the initiative to curry favor, and personally ran to convey the emperor's edict to himself: Three days later, the emperor will hold a grand canonization ceremony for him in the Hanyuan Palace. Three days, just wait for another three days, he Li Jinzhong can stand side by side with many royal heirs and accept this supreme honor.

From now on, the place where he lived would be called the temple, and his head would no longer be called a crown, and his wife would be called a princess, and he would no longer be criticized for calling the forbidden army to look after his family...... In short, everything about him will be completely changed.

Thinking like this, Li Jinzhong suddenly felt that his body was unbearably hot, so he turned over and dismounted, threw the reins of the horse to his accompanying family, and he walked on foot in the direction of the Jin State Mansion by taking advantage of the cool breeze of the mid-autumn night.

Even so, he couldn't control his thoughts drifting around like the wind around him.

More than 30 years ago, a black and ugly man who fed the emperor's horses was fortunate enough to stop the frightened royal horse in a royal hunt and saved the emperor at that time, and was transferred to the Zichen Hall as an errand boy, and since then he has embarked on a completely different life path from before.

During the days when he was on an errand in Zichen Palace, he was repeatedly oppressed and **** by the eunuch surnamed Gao, who was the most favored by the emperor at that time, and was almost falsely accused of death several times.

Finally one day, Mama Xia, who enjoyed the title of "miracle doctor" in the palace, saw that he was diligent and loyal, and praised his hard work many times in front of the emperor. Because of this, he got acquainted with the prince at that time through Xia Mama, and on the day when the rebels broke through Chang'an, he personally escorted the prince and Zhang Liangdi to escape from the capital, and then never left all the way, always accompanied by the prince, for the prince to ascend the throne in danger, and ordered the king of the world to put down the rebellion, so as to become the father of Zhongxing Restoration, soon after the recovery of Chang'an, he was promoted to the provincial supervisor from the three products, replacing the position of Gao.

That night, the moon seemed to be so round over Minaminai. Li Jinzhong walked forward slowly, and he couldn't help but think of the night many years ago that he would never forget, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath.

About less than three months after the recovery of Chang'an, under the repeated pleas of the emperor, the old emperor who was forced to be the emperor finally returned to Chang'an, Li Jinzhong was ordered by the emperor to place this old man in the deserted Nannei at that time, and suggested to the emperor that the Gao clan who used to ride on his head as a prestige for three thousand miles, and relieved the hatred in his heart.

And in the autumn of that year, it seems that it was also around August 15th. One day, the emperor called Li Jinzhong into the Zichen Hall alone, and personally issued a secret decree to him: Send the emperor to heaven tonight!

This was the first time in his life that he had taken someone's life, and it seemed to be the only time. However, the person he killed was the supreme emperor in the world. After that night, he couldn't help but feel a palpitation every time he remembered the scene when the Emperor Taishang drank the cup of medicinal wine he had personally presented on the Calyx Xianghui Tower in Nannei and groaned and fell to the ground. It was also after that night that he had a huge string of Buddhist beads in his hand

Further back, further back

Li Jinzhong looked at the gate of his mansion from a distance, and for some reason, a familiar and unfamiliar figure suddenly broke into his mind at this time. He tried to carefully find this figure in the vast sea of memory, and finally, in the moment he walked into the door, he recognized the figure: Cheng Meixin, Lai Xing'er's mother.

Two years ago, after repeated consideration, he finally chose the prince between Empress Zhang and the prince, visited Ning Xiangxuan at night, showed his heart to the prince, and happened to meet the identity of Lai Xing'er Zhang's eyeliner was revealed by the prince

Following the prince's request, he tossed and turned several times and heard the news that Cheng Meixin was punished to be a slave in Jiucheng Palace. So, he personally led people to Jiucheng Palace, wanting to take Cheng Meixin back to Chang'an and put her under his control.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of Jiucheng Palace, he immediately noticed that the atmosphere was wrong, Cheng Meixin seemed to be under strict surveillance, and it was impossible to take her out of Jiucheng Palace.

In this case, he had an idea, and when he met Cheng Meixin alone, he truthfully informed her of the fact that Lai Xing'er was selected as Queen Zhang's eyeliner, and deceived her handwriting

As he expected, Cheng Meixin committed suicide shortly after meeting him.

She can be regarded as another life that died at her hands after the Emperor Taishang. Li Jinzhong thought like this, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty about Lai Xing'er in his heart.

When he saw Cheng Meixin, came down from Tiantai Mountain, and made a detour to Tongzhou to report Cheng Meixin's whereabouts to the prince, the prince, who was guilty at the time, only said indifferently and said, "There is Lord Lao Li" and led the topic elsewhere.

However, as far as he knew, after learning Cheng Meixin's whereabouts from his own mouth, the prince also sent someone to Jiucheng Palace to verify the authenticity and falsity of the news he reported. Perhaps since then, he has been wary of the prince: this prince's scheming is too unfathomable, even if he refuses to trust people even such a trivial matter.

Now, this scheming prince has become the emperor under his own protection, and all signs show that he does not trust himself as much as he does Wu Bi and Liu Yi. So, at the beginning of his accession to the throne, he did not crown himself as a king, and when he was ordered to be in the palace and made great contributions, he did not pay him as a prince, why did he crown himself in an unusual way today?

A gust of thief wind blew on the ground, and Li Jinzhong's mind suddenly cleared up a lot. (To be continued.) )
