The latest chapter of "King Song"...

"How? Any news? ”

Jinghe walked quickly into a remote and secret Buddhist hall, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the iron-masked sect master and Jiang Leiting standing in the hall. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Around the Buddha hall, there are many elite guards, and they will not let idle people approach casually, and such a major secret must not be lost.

They're back, and for better or worse, there's news of it. Jing and the layman are quite urgent, and the feeling of "being closer to home is more timid" is even stronger.

It's been suppressed for 20 years, and I'm used to it and I'm indifferent. But the appearance of Meng Ruoying and the Rising Sun Xiangyun Yupei completely ignited the feelings of thought in her heart, like a cathartic flood, which was difficult to control. There has never been a time when the mood is so urgent.

The Iron Mask Sect Master stepped forward and whispered, "Fortunately, I am not dishonored!" ”

"Found it? Where is it? Hearing this answer, Jinghe was so excited that he couldn't hold back any longer, so he suddenly jumped up and grabbed the arms of the Iron Mask Sect Master, and asked urgently. There was endless anticipation and joy in his eyes full of tears, and God was pitiful to see that there was finally news.

"Childe is fine, but he's not here!" The Iron-Faced Sect Master said, "However, first, please ask Madam to see someone!" ”

"Who?" Jinghe Jushi couldn't help but be a little disappointed.

"Sister Lin!"

A shout sounded in the Buddha hall, and a middle-aged man who was not tall and slightly fat was standing there, staring at Jinghe with tears in his eyes. His whole body was shaking, his facial features were even a little distorted, his mouth was constantly shaking, but he couldn't say a word, he was really excited.

A long-lost but very familiar voice, a voice that has been waiting for a full twenty years, Jinghe Jushi was slightly stunned, and when he looked back, there seemed to be some disbelief in his eyes, or infinite surprise, and said in a low voice: "Kogoro." Is that you? Kogoro ......"

"It's me, it's me!"

The middle-aged man in the Buddhist hall is Gu Qi, but at this moment, his name should be He Wu, called Xiao Wulang!

A very touching scene appeared, and when they reunited after twenty years, Jinghe and Gu Qi looked at each other. Choked up with tears.

"Sister Lin, I thought you were ...... back then I didn't expect you to be so good all the time, it's so good, it's so good! Gu Qi was excited, he thought that the person who had unfortunately died would "come back from the dead", what kind of mood was that? At this moment, Gu Qi's joy was beyond words.

"Luckily. After falling into the water, he was rescued by the masters of the meditation nunnery, and he has been living here ever since. Jinghe still sighed when he remembered the events of the year.

"Oops!" Gu Qi couldn't help but feel remorseful again, and said with annoyance: "Look at me stupidly, I didn't know to look for ...... near Ying Tianfu"

"It's okay if you didn't look for it, the situation was critical back then, if you stay longer. I'm afraid we're all in danger......" Jing He said here, and after a moment of conversation, he asked the most concerned question: "What about my child?" What's his name? Is he okay? ”

"Good, good!" Gu Qi nodded tearfully and said: "Back then, I fled all the way to Jiangning with him, almost starving to death, but fortunately, I was rescued by the old lady of the Meng family in Jiangning."

At that time, the first was forced to make a living, and the second was that the Meng family was rewarded by Emperor Taizong, and their status was transcendent. will not be harassed, so he stayed in the Meng family and lied about his ...... Childe is my nephew, and he has suffered such a low life......"

"No, you're doing a good job. If you hadn't rescued me, our mother and son would have been reduced to ashes in the fire, and we could have taken him out. It's good enough to save a life. "Jinghe Layman, Sect Master of the Iron Mask, and Jiang Leiting can all imagine how difficult it was for Gu Qi back then.

A man with a child. With such a clear goal, if you are outcast, it is difficult to hide it without a reasonable identity. At that time, the situation was extremely dangerous.

The transcendent status of the Meng family in Jiangning is that it can provide them with shelter, and then get a hidden identity. The fact that I have been able to survive these years has a lot to do with this.

Gu Qi continued: "When I named my child, I didn't dare to use my real surname, so I asked him to take his sister's surname Lin. A single name is a Zhao character, one is the homonym of the original surname, and the other is also looking forward to one day, he can avenge your grievances for Sister Lin! ”

"Lin Zhao?! Sure enough, it was him! Jinghe Jushi smiled, these days I learned from Meng Ruoying and Gu Yuelun that Lin Zhao is a very good young man, with such a good son, what is not satisfied?

"This kid ...... Oh no! Gu Qi swallowed and said: "The prince is now in the northwest, it seems that he has sent an envoy to Hehuang Tubo, and it is estimated that he will be able to come back in this day!" ”

"I really didn't expect that Gongzi would join the office, and he is also Zhao Ji's henchman!" The Iron Mask Sect Master couldn't help but sigh, from the moment he learned the news, he felt quite awkward.

Gu Qi was also very helpless, and sighed: "This matter is a long story, although the status in the Meng family is low, but Mrs. Meng is kind and kind, and my cooking skills are not bad in the Meng Mansion."

But what is the identity of Childe? How can you just go to the people? I've been trying to find a way to get my son to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors. But you also know the situation at that time, I really don't know who to believe, and if I don't get my son, I will be worried about my life. So I didn't dare to act rashly, and I didn't tell my son his true background!

Simply go completely incognito and wait for the opportunity. Later, when Young Master Sun of Mengfu reached the age of entering school and lacked a companion to study, I begged Mrs. Meng to let my son go. One is to read and write, and the other is to hope that one day the son can take the imperial examination to high school, pass on the golden palace, meet the saint, and recognize the father and son! It's a pity that before the son grew up to take the exam, the official family drove west......"

Speaking of which, Lin Zhao's background is already obvious.

It is the son of Song Renzong, the veritable fourth prince of the Great Song Dynasty, and the royal dragon descendant.

Song Renzong was a benevolent king, a good man, and a good emperor.

But God seems to have treated him unfairly, especially in the case of his children.

He gave birth to three sons, Zhao Fang, King Yang, Zhao Xin, King Yong, and Zhao Xi, King Jing, all of whom died early, and Emperor Renzong deeply regretted it.

Under such circumstances, the heir to the throne of the Great Song Dynasty has been twisted and turned, and it has attracted more and more attention.

When she had no children in her early years, the then queen Cao took precautions and brought Zhao Zongshi, the thirteenth son of Zhao Yunrang, the king of Runan County, into the palace to raise her, and her intention was self-evident.

It was not until Zhao Xin, the king of Yong, was born that Zhao Zongshi was sent back to the palace as a gift.

But Zhao Xin died soon after, and Zhao Zongshi's status rose again. After Zhao Xi was born, his identity was embarrassing again!

The birth of a prince is a nightmare for Zhao Zongshi. The untimely death of a prince is hope for him.

Zhao Zongshi has also become a veritable reserve tire!

It's a pity that Zhao Xi also died early!

In this case. Zhao Zongshi, who has gradually become an adult, and his prestige and reputation are becoming increasingly prominent, is getting louder and louder, and many officials have written to ask Zhao Zongshi to be appointed.

But Song Renzong has been procrastinating for no other reason, that is, he wants to have a son and pass on the throne to his own son.

Maybe it's the sincerity of the heart, and the mercy of God. In the second year of Huangyou, with the unremitting efforts of Emperor Renzong, the palace maid Lin became pregnant, and she was pregnant rather bizarrely.

On the night of conception, Lin dreamed of auspicious clouds in the sky, and the rising sun rose from the east. Later, he rushed straight into her arms.

In a word, the dream is in the arms. In ancient times, it was a great omen.

You must know that Liu Che, the famous Emperor of the Han Dynasty, is like this, when the beauty of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty Wang Huan dreamed of giving birth to Liu Che.

Song Renzong was overjoyed to learn of this, and there were many experienced imperial doctors who took the pulse, all saying that Lin was a baby boy in his womb.

Two times and one confirmation. Song Renzong had high hopes for this son, and decided that he would be a good son and a heroic heir. For this reason, Ouyang Xiu was specially invited to draw a pen and carved a piece of sunburst auspicious cloud jade pendant.

Although the child did not speak out, he already enjoyed the treatment of the heir of the empire.

At this time, someone can't sit still!

Once the prince is born, Zhao Zongshi, as a spare tire, will have no chance at all. has been a spare tire for decades, and the throne is so close to him. It's almost close, how can you be willing to watch the loss of the throne like this at this time?

Is it not only Zhao Zongshi who is unwilling? And his father, Zhao Yunrang, the king of Runan!

It's really interesting to say, this father and son are really miserable, and the father and son are mixed up as poor spare tires.

In the past, Song Zhenzong had no children, and he raised Zhao Yunrang under his knees, and did not want the later emperor Zhao Zhen to be born. It was later Song Renzong. Zhao Yunrang was sent back to the palace as a gift, thinking that he would never have anything to do with the throne in this life, and he didn't want God to pity his son again......

He can't be the emperor himself, and his son has the opportunity to become a prince. can be regarded as being able to fulfill his wish. But as soon as the Lin family became pregnant with the son of a wealthy man, the sense of crisis between their father and son immediately appeared.

Because of the experience of the father and son, they have a different desire for the throne, and there is a deep resentment. Every time God gives them a chance, but pushes them to despair, could it be that God deliberately teased them?

You must know that at this time, Zhao Zongshi was already an adult, and his eldest son was already more than a year old, but he lost to a younger brother who had not yet been born.

How could Zhao Zongshi's father and son easily give up the throne that was within reach?

Of course, they are not without opportunities, if the Lin family gives birth to a girl, the throne still belongs to him Zhao Zongshi. But what if it's a boy? That's what worries them the most.

The best result is that the child will not be born directly.

In desperation, Zhao Zongshi and his son decided to take a risk and use extraordinary means.

It's not impossible, and it's probably not the first time I've done it.

Emperor Renzong's three sons died young, is it because the baby was born deficient and was seriously ill? Isn't there a human element in it?

It seems that the palace of Renzong in the Northern Song Dynasty was not so safe!

Prior to this, on the eighteenth day of the first month of the eighth year of Qingli, there were guards in the palace to make trouble, and Emperor Renzong was in danger. Fortunately, Empress Cao was born in Jiangmen, and she was not chaotic in the face of danger, commanding the palace maids and eunuchs to stick to the palace gate, and when reinforcements came, the rebellion was quelled in time.

It is not known how this rebellion started, and only Empress Cao's composure and ability are recorded in the history books, and the others seem to be secretive.

Two years later, this black hand reached out to the Lin family and to the unborn prince of the Great Song Dynasty.

One night, a fire broke out in the dormitory where the Lin family lived. After the soldiers of the forbidden army put out the fire, they found a lot of corpses, so everyone thought that the unborn little prince died in the fire.

But soon after, the Imperial City Division determined that there was no Lin clan among the corpses, and the grief-stricken and desperate Emperor Renzong's heart rekindled hope. Immediately learned that He Wu, a helper in the dining room, was also missing, and he was a fellow villager of the Lin family. So Emperor Renzong immediately sent a confidant to investigate and trace the whereabouts of the Lin family and the unborn child.

The Lin family survived by luck precisely because He Wu saved her.

Because they are all from Zhuozhou, the Lin family, who is a palace maid, takes care of He Wuduo, who is a half-grown child. He Wu is a person who knows how to be grateful, and has always tried to repay ......

That night, He Wu went to deliver tonic meals as usual, and after handing them over to the inner servants of the harem, he was preparing to leave, not wanting the palace to be on fire.

He Wu saw that it was Sister Lin's bedroom. Shocked, he took advantage of the chaos and rushed over. And rescued the Lin family in the fire, I didn't want someone among the soldiers of the forbidden army to intend to be unfavorable to the Lin family, but fortunately I escaped by luck.

In the panic, in order to escape the danger, He Wu took the Lin family to escape from the side door where the vegetables were transported from the palace dining room. Who would have thought that out of the palace gate. It's hard to go back again! And there are people who are constantly chasing and killing, which can be described as dangerous, and it is definitely lucky to be able to escape! And they have also become a bit frightened, the soldiers of the forbidden army can't believe it, who else can they trust?

On the way to escape, Lin gave birth to a baby boy! When it is difficult to escape together. accidentally fell into the water in Yingtianfu, He Wu thought she was dead, and went to Jiangning alone with the child, and it was twenty years to say goodbye.

Such an experience can really be regarded as the adventure of the prince of the Great Song Dynasty.

The Iron Mask Sect Master and Jiang Leiting already knew it all at this moment, and they stepped forward and bowed down and said, "He Wu, thank you very much. Saved a bloodline for the first emperor! ”

"It would be nice if the son could recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors earlier!" Jiang Leiting couldn't help but sigh.

He Wuyou said: "I also thought about it, but at the end of the year when the prince was born, the cold case ......"

It turned out that in the second year of Huang You, a person named Leng Qing met Qian Mingyi, the prefect of Kaifeng, and claimed to be the son of Renzong. Leng Qing said that his mother Wang was originally a palace maid and was once favored by Renzong. was already pregnant, because of a fire in the palace, she fled and was separated outside the palace, and had no way to make a living, so she had to marry a common man named Leng Xu and gave birth to a son named Leng Qing. In fact, Leng Qing is the son of the dragon seed emperor and the bloodline of Renzong. Leng Qing, who has grown up now, is based on his mother's training. came to recognize his father, and there was the embroidered belly that Renzong gave to the Wang family as evidence.

Kaifeng prefect Qian Mingyi is a confused mediocre person, seeing that the story Leng Qing told is clear and clear, and there is evidence. I believed it a little earlier. Leng Qing observed the words and looks, and knew that the story he made up had already had an effect, so he acted the play more and more realistically. He shouted at Qian Mingyi, who was sitting in the public court, "Mingyi can't afford it? ”

Qian Mingyi was even more surprised when he saw his momentum, thinking that if Leng Qing was really the son of Renzong, that is, the crown prince, he would inherit the throne in the future, where would he dare to offend, so he had to stand up obediently and behave very respectfully in front of Leng Qing. After the matter spread, Han Jiang reported to the imperial court in the imperial history, and Renzong did not know the authenticity, so he asked Zhao Xuan, the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, and Bao Zheng, the official of Kaifeng Prefecture, to jointly try the case.

However, Leng Qing is a person in the rivers and lakes after all, in the process of trial, after a few rounds, he showed his feet, and finally confessed that he was a miscellaneous servant of a pharmacy, because of his extraordinary appearance, beautiful temperament, and good psychological quality, if his behavior is determined, a person named Gao Ji'an planned for him, so that he claimed to be Renzong's exiled son, trying to take advantage of Renzong's thirst for his son, and get through the trick.

is also a fire, the same prince who is outcast, and even the dragon and phoenix embroidered belly pocket, the Lin family also owns it. It is a bit too coincidental that such a similar thing happened when Huangyou was so sensitive in the second year.

Leng Qing was beheaded, but it also created an inherent impression for the subjects of the Great Song Dynasty. If at this time, there were more concubines and princes who claimed that it was because of the fire, how would the subjects of the Great Song Dynasty react? It is reasonable for Gu Qi, who is becoming more and more mature, but frightened, to have concerns.

At the mention of this, the Iron Mask Sect Master was very angry, and said coldly: "It's all Zhao Yun's ghost idea!" ”

Think on your heels, the cold case is not a coincidence, but an out-and-out conspiracy.

Although he didn't kill the child, he was going to cut off "him" to return to the palace, and the position of the prince was one step closer to Zhao Zongshi. When this scheme is more vicious, even if a child is found, there will inevitably be people who question the bloodline, and it will inevitably be criticized......

Emperor Renzong didn't necessarily know that someone was engaged in a conspiracy, but at that time, Zhao Zongshi's party was already too big to lose, and there was no evidence, how could he move lightly?

As an emperor, he must be responsible for the inheritance of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains. Without a biological son, Zhao Zongshi is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for the prince.

It can be believed that the kind Emperor Renzong was so helpless and how bleak the evening was?

The iron-faced sect master said: "The official family also hopes to find a son in his lifetime, but unfortunately we are incompetent and let the official family down." Before dying, the official family also asked me to give up looking for ...... for the sake of the peace of the Great Song Dynasty."

It is self-evident what kind of consequences an orthodox prince who lives in exile and an adopted son who is legitimately enthroned. Emperor Renzong was very responsible, and he didn't want to leave the bane of instability......

The iron-masked sect master continued: "Originally, I also planned to act according to orders, but Zhao Zongshi's guy is not a thing, and the bones of the official family are not cold, so he instigated Pu Yi to let his biological father enter the Taimiao?" Where is the Emperor here? is even more unfilial to the Queen Mother, I am really not angry when I wait, and I vow to find the four princes! God's mercy, I finally found it! ”

Who would have thought that there would be so many twists and turns, so many sinisters!

"How did the four princes get into the office, and how did they go with Zhao Ji now......" Jiang Leiting was a little puzzled.

Lin Zhao is the fourth son of Renzong, and it stands to reason that he is the uncle of the current emperor, so this relationship makes those who know the inside story feel particularly awkward!

Gu Qi said helplessly: "Alas, I can't say anything about this matter clearly. After the death of the first emperor, I hope that the fourth prince will spend the rest of his life in peace, and no longer let him study for the imperial examination, and I don't want him to enter the officialdom and encounter any more dangers...... I don't want to, it backfired, a few years ago, he was like a different person, and he was implicated with Wang Xianggong by mistake, and then ......"

"Maybe this is providence!" The Iron Mask Sect Master couldn't help but sigh lightly, it was indeed a very awkward situation, but it was not a good thing......

"Sect Master, Bianjing's 100,000 urgent secret report!"

At this time, news was delivered, and the Iron Mask Sect Master took a look at it, and was immediately shocked and shocked! (To be continued.) )
