Lu Huiqing hit by mistake, his original intention was to create something out of nothing, chasing the wind and catching shadows to give full play. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

So even if he really discovered a big secret, he didn't believe it himself, just regarded it as a coincidence, a coincidence that could kill Lin Zhao.

Zhao Ji may not take it seriously, but his suspicion is maximized, coupled with the inertia of believing it rather than believing it, he feels that he should pay attention to it.

But in fact, he didn't believe that Lin Zhao's son was born as a black dragon, and he never thought that Lin Zhao had any special background. Therefore, he did not pay much attention to it and did not immediately take action.

Lin Zhao didn't know that this was just a coincidence, it was Lu Huiqing who made it out by mistake.

When he received the news of Mingyuezong and Zhao Fukang, he was also shocked!

Could it be that the news has been leaked? How much does Zhao Ji know?

Zhao Fukang's side only knew that the matter of the black dragon was concerned by Zhao Xuan, and he also learned some fragmentary news from some inner servants on the periphery, but the specific situation was not certain.

On March 25, the last great court meeting before the Renzong sacrifice day passed, Lin Zhao calculated the time, set off from Zhongmu, and returned to Bianjing on the twenty-seventh, and took a day off to participate in the sacrifice.

On March 27 of the sixth year of Xining, Lin Zhao was only thirty miles away from Bianjing, but he heard such news.

It is difficult to predict the severity of the situation. Although the showdown is less than two days away, every minute and second can change before there is a certainty.

How many major events throughout the ages have been revealed at the last moment? There are really too many such examples, how dare Lin Zhao take it lightly?

To enter Bianjing City or not to enter?

Although there is a western army in hand, after all, it is still far away in the northwest, and far water cannot quench the thirst of the near. Before the identity is revealed, you can't go back to Bianjing with the army, right?

He is relatively safe outside the city, but his wife and children are still in the city. According to the current situation, if Zhao Xuan really believed in the statement that the black dragon had descended, would the eldest son Lin Hong still be safe?

Lin Zhao's heart was very chaotic, and he almost messed up.

Fortunately, Zhao Fukang has repeatedly assured. I will definitely protect the child. The Mingyue Sect is also ready, if there is any trouble, it will definitely protect the family. Some things had been prepared as early as a year ago, and Lin Zhao believed that they could be done.

On the contrary, it is himself, returning to Bianjing City means facing Zhao Ji directly, and one day is enough to have many changes.

If the black dragon came into the world and his son Tianzi's destiny was not pierced, Lin Zhao could go back calmly, even if he met Zhao Ji in person. But Lu Huiqing's mistake suddenly made the situation very tense.

Alas!

Lin Zhao sighed lightly. Only now do I realize so many changes in history. Why is it always thrilling. Or a temporary accident, stillborn. It is really a major matter, and all parties are inextricably linked, and the slightest carelessness is full of situations. It's not easy to get 100% smooth. There are still many changes that need to be dealt with.

The difference is a thousand miles, not to mention a major event involving the throne, a little carelessness is not as simple as failure, but also related to the lives of many people, so we must be cautious.

At the moment, while ascertaining the specific situation, the most important thing is to stabilize Zhao Ji, and it is best to avoid meeting Zhao Ji. After leaving Zhongmu, it is no longer possible to pretend to be sick. Otherwise, the command backfires and is increasingly suspected.

Lin Zhao thought about it for a long time, for the sake of today's plan, she is the only one who can stabilize Zhao Ji!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

March 27, in the evening. Zhao Ji was announced into the Qingshou Palace.

"Auntie, is there something wrong with Xuan's grandson?" Zhao Ji was a little surprised, he usually came to take the initiative to ask for peace, and the Empress Dowager rarely took the initiative to invite him over.

With a kind smile on his face, Cao said softly, "Zhong Zhen, have you had dinner?" ”

"Not yet, the eldest lady summoned me, and the grandson doesn't dare to delay!"

"That's right, let's sit down and eat together!" Cao smiled and sighed: "It's been a long time since I've eaten with you, in this regard, the royal family is not as good as ordinary people's homes, and there is a lot less warm family fun!" ”

"Auntie, my grandson is busy with government affairs, and I can't serve more, it's my grandson!" Zhao Ji immediately apologized and said: "In the future, your grandson will definitely take time to accompany you, and now that you have a great-grandson, let the queen hold you another day to say goodbye!" ”

"Okay, it's enough for you to have this heart!" Cao Shi sighed: "You are the emperor, there are many government affairs to be busy, that is the right way, you have time to come and see me, an old woman, don't bother." ”

"Where is the eldest lady, your grandson should respect you." Zhao Ji was very respectful in front of his grandmother, and it was a national tradition to rule the world with filial piety, and he, the emperor, must set an example. Moreover, when he was a child, the Cao family has always been good to him and his younger brother Zhao Hao, and he has a lot of love, and there is a lot of love for his ancestors and grandchildren.

"Well, Zhongzhen is filial piety!" Cao Shi smiled and said, "How is your imperial ancestor's sacrifice arranged?" ”

Zhao Ji nodded and said: "Everything has been arranged, it will be held ceremoniously, and all the ministers, clans, and nobles above the fifth rank in Bianjing will participate!" ”

"You've got a heart!" Cao Shi was satisfied: "Also, I heard that the general you sent out recovered Lanzhou, which is really good!" ”

"You've heard?"

"Yes, such a happy event is really gratifying, and your Imperial Ancestor's spirit in the sky will also be very happy." Cao sighed: "Back then, Li Yuanhao made a fuss in the northwest, and your emperor didn't bother to think about it, especially when Lanzhou lost that time, he felt sorry for himself and couldn't sleep well!" Later, I always wanted to recover it, but unfortunately it didn't succeed. Now that you have done it, it can be regarded as the fulfillment of your ancestor's last wish, and with such a quick consolation, your ancestor's spirit in heaven can rest in peace. ”

"The will of the emperor's ancestors, the grandson should be completed, and it is incumbent on him!" Mentioning this, Zhao Ji was a little proud. Even the Empress Dowager thought so, and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military must have the same idea. The day after tomorrow, he can announce this in a beautiful manner, be proud, and win the love and praise of his subjects.

Cao sighed: "You have done a good job, the day after tomorrow when you go to the Taimiao, you should personally report to the emperor and comfort his spirit in the sky." Also, which general captured Lanzhou, take it with you! Your emperor has always had a wish back then, saying that whoever wants to recover Lanzhou will be rewarded, but now that he is gone, you can only reward him! ”

"It was Lin Zhao who recovered Lanzhou. Didn't you know? Taimiao's announcement was inevitable, but when Lin Zhao was mentioned, his expression was slightly unnatural. Although Si Tianjian said so, after the Imperial City Division inquired, Master Shao Yong once said that the black dragon Buyu, so it doesn't seem to have anything to do with what the real dragon Tianzi said?

Shao Yong also said about the Funing Palace. With Shao Yong's identity, you can't be mistaken, right? He doesn't seem to have a reason to lie either. But as soon as things come out, there will inevitably be a thorn in my heart.

Cao didn't seem to see it at all. He said softly: "It's Dongyang." I only remember that he seemed to have gone to the northwest to fight the Tibetans. I never thought that he was the one who laid down Lanzhou, this is a great achievement! ”

"Yes, it's a great achievement!" Zhao Ji could only nod his head.

"Your emperor and your father have said that they are emperors. Rewards and punishments should be clear, and meritorious deeds should be rewarded! ”

Zhao Ji also thought that his grandmother was going to ask for a reward for Lin Zhao, but he didn't want the Cao family to change his words, and said softly: "However, Dongyang is still young, he is already a prince of the country, and the title is too high. ”

"That's what I said. But meritorious heroes should be rewarded, otherwise how can the soldiers be willing to fight bravely for the Great Song Dynasty? Zhao Ji couldn't hold Cao's meaning.

"That's right, but ah, Dongyang's reward doesn't have to be too grand, Min Yan is your uncle's righteous daughter. is also a sister to your aunt, and Dongyang is not an outsider. There is a reward in moderation, Dongyang won't mind, so as not to make him pampered and arrogant, do you say? Cao sighed lightly, and said: "The mourning family is too talkative, you are the emperor, you are in charge of the affairs of the court!" ”

Zhao Ji was a little suspicious, he thought that the Cao family would ask for a reward for Lin Zhao, but it turned out that he was not. However, it can be seen that the imperial grandmother loves Chai Minyan and Lin Zhao, and it is a little difficult to deal with the incident of the black dragon's descent! Especially at this moment, you can't be in a hurry.

"Yes, my grandson knows it!"

Cao Shi smiled: "Fortunately, the wind has been calm recently, and nothing major has happened, I was worried before, I was afraid that something would affect your ancestor's ceremony." ”

As soon as this remark came out, it meant that the Cao family didn't want any turmoil before the Renzong ceremony, in fact, Zhao Ji also thought so. What kind of turmoil did you make before this incident, and what good is it for yourself? Of course, this also means that no matter what he plans to do with Lin Zhao, he must wait until the sacrifice, or after.

Zhao Ji didn't think that his grandmother had any other purpose, but simply hoped that Emperor Renzong's sacrifice would not be affected. The thoughts of a surviving man are completely understandable, and he is happy to fulfill this idea.

Seeing her grandson's expression, Cao Shi had a subtle smile on the corner of her mouth, and her purpose was more than that. While eating, he continued: "I dreamed of your emperor last night, I plan to go to the Taimiao tomorrow to stay temporarily, fast for one day, and participate in the sacrifice the day after tomorrow." If there is no important period, can the needle go with you? ”

"This ......" Zhao Ji didn't expect the Empress Dowager to make such a request.

Cao Shi sighed lightly and said: "You are the emperor, and you have every opportunity, so it is indeed a little difficult for you." It's just that your emperor was lonely under his knees before his death, and he rarely had family fun. Although your father and queen came to serve the left and right, after all, there was not much time, not to mention that he also died young...... I wanted your mother to go with me, but it just so happened that she was sick again...... In my dreams, your emperor always said that he was lonely, so I wanted to take you to Taimiao to accompany him for a day!

If it weren't for the emperor's tomb in Yong'an, he was old and in poor health, so he really wanted to go to Zhaoling to pay respects! Cao Shi groaned slightly, a little regret flashed on his face, and he sighed in a low voice for a long time: "Forget it, it's better to wait for a hundred years later, and always accompany the first emperor underground!" ”

"What did the lady say? Don't be sad, you are in good health, you want to live a long life! "Zhao Ji usually sees the dignified and calm Cao family, the side of the mother in the world, and it is rare to see such a long sigh. Maybe it's because of age, people are easy to be verbose, and it happened to be the day of Emperor Renzong's sacrifice, and it was reasonable for the Empress Dowager to be sad.

Although it was not his wish to go to Taimiao to fast for a day, it was not easy for him to refuse Cao's request, after all, it was also about filial piety. Well, isn't it just a day of fasting? To the outside world, you can also show yourself to be sincere and filial, and it is also beneficial to earn fame. Although the emperor has changed two, after all, Emperor Renzong has only been dead for ten years, and there are still many old ministers of Renzong in the court, so it can be regarded as comforting their emotions. Emperor Renzong's influence has gradually faded away, and perhaps one day, after the death of the Cao family, it will completely dissipate!

Zhao Ji agreed, and then said goodbye and left! It was already late, and he was going to see his son Zhao Maid. This child was born relatively well, and with the extra fine care, his body is now getting stronger and stronger. Zhao Ji had a feeling that this son would definitely be able to be raised smoothly.

Cao was relieved. Finally stabilized Zhao Ji first!

She wondered, how did the secret of her grandson's life be revealed? When I heard the news, I was really shocked. However, judging from Zhao Zhao's actions today, what has been grasped shows that Zhao Zhao still does not know Lin Zhao's identity, and what he suspects is mainly Lin Hong's life experience and suspicion of Lin Zhao's high master.

Zhao Ji's father and son have only been in charge of the court for ten years, and Gao Taotao is a good lord of the harem, but after four years, he will not abdicate and let Xian give his daughter-in-law to the queen. Although it is two generations of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the foundation in the palace is still limited. Prior to that, the Cao family operated in the Great Song Imperial Palace for more than thirty years. There is still some strength among the palace maids and chamberlains, and they can't do big things. But it's okay to keep an eye out for a little news.

That's it! Cao breathed a sigh of relief. Fool Zhao Ji to the Taimiao. As long as this day is passed, everything is easy to say! One is an adopted grandson, and the other is a son-in-law, which was difficult for the Cao family to choose in the past. But Zhao Ji is too cold. She was very disappointed, Lin Zhao's performance was good enough, and he was a more suitable successor for Da Song.

"Niangniang rest assured, I stabilized the Zhongzhen today, Dongyang doesn't have to meet him when he comes back, after this day, the overall situation has been decided, hum!" Zhao Fukang also breathed a sigh of relief. At first, she also thought that Lin Zhao's life experience had been leaked. Fortunately, the situation was not serious later, and Lin Zhao gave such a strategy.

This should be fine, the day should pass quickly!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On March 28 of the sixth year of Xining, the day before the sacrifice day of Emperor Renzong. Emperor Zhao issued an edict.

In order to be filial to the emperor's ancestors, he specially accompanied the Empress Dowager Cao to the Taimiao Temple to fast and pray for blessings, express sorrow, comprehend the teachings of Emperor Renzong, and do his filial piety!

When the news came out, the officials were a little surprised, after all, there was no such part in etiquette. Although there is a little abruptness, it is also reasonable.

Some people praise this as the emperor's benevolence and filial piety, pay tribute to the emperor's ancestors, serve the grandmother, the Great Song Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and the official family is like this, which can be an example for the world!

The voices of praise were endless, and Zhao Ji also smiled a little more in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it. Grandfather's sacrifice day, it's too late to mourn and miss, and dare to smile? He didn't dare to be unfilial.

Early in the morning, Zhao Ji went to Baoci Palace to greet the sick Empress Dowager Gao, and then accompanied the Empress Dowager Cao to the Taimiao. A large number of Janissaries accompanied him to ensure safety.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, and Kaifeng Mansion are all busy, and the Empress Dowager and the official family have already taken action, and tomorrow's sacrifice will inevitably be very grand. Although I have been preparing before, I still have to check whether it is proper and whether there are any omissions when it comes to the matter. If there is a slight flaw in tomorrow's ceremony, the official family will definitely not spare it, so they dare not slack off in the slightest!

When the Empress Dowager Gao woke up, Zhao Ji was already gone!

Not long ago, the Empress Dowager Cao fell ill, and as a daughter-in-law, she served in front of the bed to fulfill her filial piety. As a result, Cao's illness was cured, but Gao Taotao fell ill because of fatigue and poor diet.

Recently, there is no major problem, but my body is quite weak, and I spend a lot of time sleeping every day. So much so that when her son came to say goodbye, she didn't know at all.

"Queen Mother, the official family is filial, and I don't want to disturb your news, so we are not allowed to wake up the Queen Mother!"

After listening to the palace maid's report, Gao Taotao was very pleased, and there was a faint smile on his still sickly face. The son came to greet him early, and he couldn't bear to disturb his news, and his filial piety was commendable. Although it was just an ordinary move, Gao Taotao was already very satisfied. In the first two years, because of her second son Zhao Hao, her relationship with her eldest son was quite tense, and it only began to improve in the past two years.

"The official family has gone to the Vertical Arch Hall to manage the government? Later, I will send someone to send some nourishing meals, and these days while dealing with the government and taking care of my condition, it is very hard. Comparing his heart to his heart, Gao Tao is also quite concerned about his son.

"The official family is not in the palace, and he went to the temple with the empress dowager!"

The palace maid's answer surprised Gao Taotao, and he was stunned: "What day is today, isn't the day of my father's emperor tomorrow?" Am I misremembering the day? ”

"The Queen Mother is not mistaken, Emperor Renzong's memorial day is indeed tomorrow." The palace maid replied: "I heard that yesterday the Empress Dowager summoned the official family, saying that Emperor Renzong was lonely during her lifetime, and hoped that the official family would accompany her to the Taimiao Temple to fast for a day, so that Emperor Renzong could enjoy his family in the spirit of heaven, and went early this morning." ”

"Really?" Gao Tao was surprised, why did he come to such a show? Is it necessary to go to the temple today to fast to show filial piety? My aunt and mother-in-law are really getting older, and the more strange they are.

It's a little weird!

Gao Taotao is a very clever and deep person, and he subconsciously feels that this matter is a little strange. She always felt that the current Empress Dowager was no longer the aunt she knew, and there were some changes, but she couldn't say what the changes were. There can't be any other intentions, right?

Alas!

Gao Tao sighed lightly, although his son has been on the throne for six years, sometimes he is still very unsafe in doing things, so she has to worry about it.

Since he ascended the throne, it seems that there has not been a year of stability, either floods or droughts, and he himself has to do what changes to toss, I really don't know how thick the sky is. Now that he is obsessed with Bian Gong again, the situation in the northwest is not bad, but in the south, the news of the massacre in Yongzhou has made the entire Great Song Dynasty tremble.

And there has been news of the birth of a black dragon in Bianjing City recently, which is really a wave of trouble!

That's right, the Black Dragon is here!

Gao Tao suddenly remembered this matter, she also knew something, wasn't the protagonist of the incident Lin Zhao's son Lin Hong? At first, she thought that her son was going to do something to Lin Zhao, who had a high degree of achievement, but in this matter, Gao Taotao suddenly thought of the Empress Dowager Cao!

The Cao family's love for Lin Zhao's family is obvious to all, could there be any connection between this?
