It is easy to meet the Lin family, but it is a little difficult to meet the Empress Dowager Cao. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The news was delivered to Qingshou Palace through the Cao family and asked what the old lady Cao meant. It's not that the Cao family hasn't seen Lin Zhao, but it's obvious that this time the situation must be completely different, and Lin Zhao, the Shilang of the Zhao family, is coming to visit his mother.

The Cao family did not object, and Zhao Fukang, the eldest princess of Chu State, also hoped to recognize her younger brother. So soon there was news that the Empress Dowager was unwell, and naturally she would summon Chai Minyan to visit the palace. Now that the Empress Dowager is sick, she doesn't pass on the imperial doctor at all, and trusts Chai Minyan even more, the purpose is to better love Wu Jiwu.

In this way, it is logical for Lin Zhao, as a "niece and son-in-law", to visit the palace.

The drizzling rain was still falling, and Lin Zhao and Chai Minyan entered the Xuande Gate in a carriage. Chai Minyan was a little surprised that Lin Zhao was going to visit the palace, but Fulang emphasized that he wanted to thank the Empress Dowager for saving her life. Do you know that I have thanked you before?

However, being closer to the Empress Dowager is very beneficial to the future of the husband. Probably the husband thinks the same way!

When I came to Qingshou Palace, there were already waiters waiting at the door, holding umbrellas to escort the two to the main hall. The identities of the Marquis of Wei Yuan and the Lady of the Decree are already precious, and the Empress Dowager is favored, and the maids naturally dare not slack off.

In front of the main hall of Qingshou Palace, Zhao Fukang, the eldest princess of Chu State, personally greeted her, looking at her younger brother and sister-in-law, a pair of young people, smiling and groaning.

"Princess Lao personally greeted her, and the foolish couple is very honored!" knew that it was his own sister in front of him, but he was still inevitably polite.

"What's polite, we are relatives, I am commensurate with Sister Minyan, you can also call me Sister!" Zhao Fukang is also a thoughtful method, so that Lin Zhao can justifiably call his sister.

Lin Zhao naturally understood, and immediately said, "Then thank you, sister!" ”

Hey! Chai Minyan glanced at her husband, and a trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes!

"Okay, Sister Minyan, in the past few rainy days, Niangniang is not feeling well, you can take a look!" Zhao Fukang, who is also a woman, is very sensitive and immediately diverts the topic.

Chai Min said: "Okay! ”

Immediately the two went in to greet the Empress Dowager according to etiquette, Chai Minyan stepped forward to diagnose Cao's pulse, and after a while, he said: "It doesn't matter, I think it's been rainy recently, quite damp, the Empress Dowager is old, there are signs of wind and cold entering the body, just drink some ginger soup to drive away the cold, pay more attention to chao prevention." ”

"Oh, that's good, with Minyan, the old body will be relieved!" Cao's love for Chai Minyan is very much.

Zhao Fukang said with a smile: "Min Yan, the concubine's health is not too good, please go and take a look." Also, I have a little awkwardness with my mother recently, she is still angry, you help me comfort and comfort! ”

"Good!" The imperial concubine Miao was sick and lived in the Qingshou Palace, so Chai Minyan happily went. Zhao Fukang, a child who should have gone to accompany him, did not go because of the awkwardness, but instead sent a palace maid to guide him. In this case, the Cao family, Zhao Fukang and Lin Zhao were left in the main hall.

Zhao Fukang was extremely smart, and immediately said: "Dongyang, you go to the northwest for a long time, but what is new, say to relieve the boredom of the mother!" "Obviously, it's a high-sounding excuse.

After Chai Minyan left, Zhao Fukang immediately withdrew all the chamberlains and palace maids, leaving only their mother and son in the hall. Although the chamberlains felt that it was not appropriate for a foreign minister to be alone with the Empress Dowager and the lone princess, they did not dare to ask more. They are all absolute henchmen of the Cao family, so they don't have to worry about leaking out.

"Son meets Niangniang!"

During the Song Dynasty, the prince and the princess called the queen Niangniang. Lin Zhao is as a prince, and he is saluting his mother-in-law, Cao.

"I'm up!" Cao Shi trembled, and his expression was a little moved. The son greeted him in person, and this feeling was really a long time coming. Although Zhao Zongshi also worshipped her like this back then, after all, his step-son was unreliable. Although Lin Zhao is not biological, he is the biological son of Emperor Renzong after all, and his own mother-in-law is worthy of the name, and he was really excited for a while.

"Little brother meets eldest sister!" Lin Zhao saluted Zhao Fukang again.

Zhao Fukang immediately grabbed it and said: "Brother, hurry up, today I will tell my identity, and my father will definitely feel gratified!" ”

"Yes, it's a pity that I can't worship in front of the Emperor's Mausoleum!" As a son of man, this matter is quite regrettable.

"Don't worry, there will always be a chance to go to the mausoleum and the temple to worship!" Whether it is the Cao family and Zhao Fukang, they both have the same idea on this point, their own son can go to worship, and Emperor Renzong will be able to look at it!

"My son used to be outcast, he didn't know his identity, and he failed to fulfill his filial piety, which is really unfilial!"

Cao Shi shook his head and said: "It's not your fault, we have been living abroad since childhood, and we have not been able to give you the slightest love, so I am really sorry in my heart." ”

"I thought I would never see my brother again, but I didn't expect that there is a providence in the dark, and there will still be a day when we meet!" Zhao Fukang said: "When I saw you for the first time by the Jinming Pond, I felt so familiar, it turned out to be my own brother. ”

"This is the blood connection, the blood is thicker than the water!" Cao also thinks so.

Lin Zhao said: "I came here today to thank Niangniang for saving her last time." I had been confused before, but I didn't know that it was my mother's love! ”

"Where to say, you and I are mother and son, but I hate that the old body knows too late, otherwise why would I let you suffer like that, it really hurt you!" Cao shook his head slightly, thinking of the thrill of Dangri, he still had palpitations.

"This revenge is not revenge, it is not a gentleman!" Lin Zhao said in a deep voice: "Niangniang, I also want you to report this matter today." "The reason why I came to visit my mother was that a very important purpose was to have a showdown with the Cao family, explain my goals and actions, and completely win the support of the Cao family. The Cao family was a little swaying before, and Zhao Fukang had already leaned to Lin Zhao's side after many persuasions, but he was still a little unsteady. Today, Lin Zhao directly pointed out that she had to make a decision.

Cao hesitated for a moment, his expression seemed a little embarrassed. Although it was something that she had expected a long time ago, when it really happened, she was still a little difficult to accept. She also has feelings for Zhao Ji, so she doesn't want to see such a tragedy of uncle and nephew cannibalism. Of course, she was more worried about Lin Zhao's safety, Emperor Renzong's only remaining bloodline could not be lost, and at the same time, like Renzong's worries when he was dying, she was afraid that the two tigers would fight and make the Great Song Dynasty fall apart.

"But you......

Lin Zhao said in a deep voice: "My son knows what my mother is worried about, Zhao Zongshi's father and son are in a cold mood, they are unfilial to their mother, and they are even cruel to me. If he had known that I was alive, he would have killed them all. Unless I never recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, and I will always be in exile among the people, and no one will know me, then I will be fine.

But now that he is in the temple, there is no way to avoid it, sooner or later he will be known by them, will there be a place for my son and me at that time? Mother, my son doesn't want to sit still, and he doesn't want people to be swordsmen and fish and meat! ”

This is a fact, the Cao family knew that if he was alive, he might be able to protect Lin Zhao, but what about after he died? Zhao Ji will not be soft, and Gao Tao is a ruthless master.

Lin Zhao continued: "If Zhao Ji is a promising king, his son will never dare to think of anything wrong and shake the Great Song Dynasty. However, although Zhao Ji has ambitions, what he has done is obvious to all, and now the Great Song Dynasty has begun to smoke and miasma. I managed to expand my territory in the northwest and achieve victory. But in the blink of an eye, he listened to the slander and succumbed to Xixia, and the million-year-old gift I had saved was thrown out again.

Regardless of the effectiveness of Wang Anshi's reforms, the momentum of party struggle in the court gradually rose, and in the long run, internal and external troubles, my Great Song Dynasty had the disaster of destroying the country. I am a descendant of the Zhao family, the son of my father, how can I watch my ancestral foundation being ruined like this? ”

In the original history, Cao and Gao Taotao once cried to Zhao Ji that Wang Anshi changed the law and misled the country. It can be seen that the old lady does not approve of changing the law, so Lin Zhao can only pull Wang Anshi first, and at the same time put forward a more terrible party dispute. The Cao family was born in a famous family, and he was not completely ignorant of politics, and he had heard about the affairs of the court, so he was deeply touched. Lin Zhao's words vaguely said to her heart.

Zhao Zongshi was raised by her in the palace back then, and now she rejects Lin Zhao, and a thought may lead to the disaster of the Great Song Dynasty, who can bear this crime?

Zhao Fukang wasted no time in saying: "Niangniang, look at it, Dongyang has done a lot of achievements several times, and he is praised by the Manchu Dynasty, he is a rare young hero, much stronger than Zhao Ji." If the younger brother is in charge of the government, at least it is much better than the current nonsense! ”

"But can you do it?" The Cao family is obviously a little tempted, Yu Gong, she doesn't want the Zhao family to be damaged in the slightest. For private reasons, she would also prefer to be a veritable queen mother, rather than the current queen mother in name. If he could, he was willing to support Lin Zhao. But can Lin Zhao compete with Zhao Ji? She worries most about this issue.

"It's man-made, my son has accumulated a lot of strength, as long as he keeps working hard, he will definitely have a chance." As he spoke, Lin Zhao was full of confidence.

Zhao Fukang immediately said: "With the support of Niangniang, Dongyang is the son of his father and emperor, and his status is noble, so it is logical to take back his own country!" ”

"That's it!" The Cao family knew that there was no turning back when he opened the bow, Lin Zhao knew his identity, and with Di Qing and the others, the matter could not be stopped. When he knew his identity and went to the Dharma to rescue him, he actually had no other choice.

"I'm in a ri, I will protect you for a ri, find a suitable opportunity, the old body will correct your name, enter the family tree, and return to the royal family!"

The biggest role of the Cao family's existence is here, and it is necessary to prove the identity of the son of Lin Zhaorenzong in order to gain the trust of the people of the world and have a chance to win the throne. It's important to be justified.

Hearing such a reply, Zhao Fukang and Lin Zhao both breathed a sigh of relief, bowed down and said, "Thank you, Niangniang!" ”

"But one thing!" Cao Shi hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Dongyang, if you have a country, can you spare Zhongzhen's life?" ”

"Mother, do you know something?" Lin Zhao didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "How did my three brothers die?" ”

"What? Could it be ......" Cao's heart was suddenly clouded with a shadow of yin, and there was a vague sense of foreboding.

Lin Zhao replied in a deep voice: "The eldest brother died early or it was a coincidence, but what about the second brother and the third brother?" How much did the father and emperor attach importance to it back then, and how carefully the biological mother took care of it, why did they die one after another? Before I was born, my mother was persecuted...... Who is the biggest beneficiary of all this so-called coincidence? ”

One of Renzong's three sons who died early was from Concubine Miao Xian, that is, Zhao Fukang's younger brother of the same father and mother. She was also shocked when she heard what to say.

"Di Gong has been investigating for a long time, and he has some eyebrows."

Cao asked, "What is the result?" ”

"Di Gong said, the king of Runan back then had his hands and eyes open to the sky, and he could also reach in within the palace forbidden......"

Zhao Yunrang, the king of Runan County, is the biological father of Yingzong Zhao Shu (Zongshi), and the grandfather of Zhao Ji.

"Really?" Cao muttered to herself, she didn't have no doubts, but she gave up later. Now that Lin Zhao brought it up again, his heart suddenly broke the earth. Zhao Fukang was also stunned, and then his eyes showed a fierce light, and he gritted his teeth with hatred.

Lin Zhao said in a deep voice: "Niangniang, I don't want to lie to you, the revenge of killing my brother is not a common thing." Some things are doomed from the beginning! (To be continued.) )
