When Zhao Fukang came to Zheng Guogong's mansion, her two little nephews were taking a bath, and she immediately participated in it, and it has become a great pleasure for her to have fun. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lin Hong and Lin Jun are white and chubby, inheriting the good genetics of their parents, beautiful and cute, looking at their innocent smiles, Zhao Fukang's heart is full of strong maternal love.

Both children are under the age of one, but they are also active and active, especially when taking a bath. Sitting in the tub, the little one dances and like many children, loves to play in the water.

When the splash of water falls on the mother and aunt, the little ones burst into laughter, as if they had a talent for mischief since childhood.

"Be obedient, your father will be back soon, will you go to greet your father in vain?"

At the mention of this, Mu Sihong's eyes were a little red. My husband has been out for seven or eight months, and he is not there for the New Year, nor is he there when he gives birth. My sons are half a year old and I haven't seen my father yet. When I learned that my husband was coming back, I couldn't help but be overjoyed for a while.

"Okay, Dongyang will be back in a while, it's not good to look red when his eyes are crying!" Zhao Fukang joked with a smile.

The sister-in-law and several sisters were joking while cleaning and dressing the two children, and Gu Yuelun, who was asking Lin Hong to wear shoes and socks, smiled: "It's really special, Hong'er and Jun'er both have six-toed ......."

Mu Sihong also said: "At the beginning, Jun'er was not very obvious, but when she grew up, the extra toes became more and more obvious. ”

"Fortunately, it's the toes, and others can't see it when you put on shoes and socks, so it's not tight!" Chai Minyan didn't care, before getting married, God knew that Lin Zhao's left foot was six toes, and the same was true for the son he gave birth to!

"Yes, Qiu Ning and Xiu Ning are girls, and they are going to suffer, and what Jade Foot Qianqian said will have nothing to do with them in the future!"

The four children of the Lin family are all like this, and it is obviously genetic. Of course, this kind of thing is difficult to say, and no one knows about it.

"Dongyang is like this, and so are the children!" Zhao Fukang said: "Otherwise, how could Dongyang be my younger brother, and how could they be my nephew?" ”

"Could it be a princess?" Mu Sihong looked at Zhao Fukang and was a little surprised.

"Yes. It's not just me, the emperor and the father have it, so we all have it! Zhao Fukang said: "Fortunately, it's six toes, otherwise it's really hard to do something!" ”

Chai Minyan guessed probably, and immediately instructed: "This matter is strictly kept secret, and must not be known to outsiders!" ”

Fortunately, the births were all the stable women in the Chai family and the Meng family's mansion, so the news should not be leaked!

Chai Minyan didn't take this matter to heart, according to the princess's sister, it won't be long before this secret doesn't matter.

Zhao Fukang said: "It doesn't matter." It'll be fine in a few days. Earlier than expected! ”

"Ahead of schedule?" Chai Minyan's expression tightened. She knew that her husband and sister were planning something big. She hadn't slept well for days, and she had been worried. If her husband doesn't come back, she is always unsteady in her heart, and now she hears that there is a change. It's even more sensitive.

"Well, it's not that we have to do it in advance, it's Zhao Ji who wants to do it!"

Zhao Fukang just got the news before leaving the palace today, and the Cao family originally asked Emperor Renzong's birthday sacrifice to be solemn, but Zhao Ji temporarily changed his mind and planned to hold Emperor Renzong's sacrifice day first.

Song Renzong's birthday was April 14, and the day of his death was March 29, which was very close to each other. The reason why the Cao family chose April 14 was because they were afraid that Lin Zhao would not have time to come back. Deliberately delayed for half a month, but it was better to be well prepared.

But Zhao Ji felt that since the sacrifice day was before, it should be solemnly sacrificed first. Even if it is on his birthday, he can do it again, he has been suppressed for a long time. It takes a big day to raise your eyebrows. Although it was only half a month, he couldn't wait, anyway, it was a matter of time, so it was better to do it sooner rather than later.

Therefore, it was directly advanced to March 29, anyway, Lin Zhao had already arrived in Luoyang, and he would soon be able to return to Bianjing. It's better to let him come back directly on the same day and directly hold a reward ceremony for his victory, just to show his imperial prestige!

The time suddenly advanced, which made Zhao Fukang a little surprised, she was worried that there would be any changes in it, and whether Zhao Ji would notice something? The bigger the event, the more you need to be extra cautious! Therefore, the reason for her to leave the palace is more sufficient, first of all, to inform Chai Minyan and let her be mentally prepared.

At the same time, it is also necessary to notify the Bright Moon Sect and investigate secretly to see if there is anything wrong. There are a few things that need to be prepared faster, and there is not much time left for them.

If Lin Zhao can come back today, it will naturally be the best, and it will be better to discuss countermeasures in person.

But Zhao Fukang was disappointed, not only did he not wait for Lin Zhao, but he heard very bad news!

Lin Zhao is sick!

Because he was in a hurry, when he walked to Zhongmu, the war wound recurred, he was bedridden, and he stayed in the local area to rest!

Hearing the news of her husband's injury, Chai Minyan was suddenly very anxious, and her eyes were red and almost tearful.

Zhao Fukang was also shocked, at such a critical juncture, his younger brother suddenly fell ill. Let's not talk about whether the condition is serious or not, it is now March 19th, and it is only ten days before the sacrificial ceremony.

Well, how could this happen? How can there be a feeling of being a disadvantage?

Zhao Fukang shook her head lightly, and after gradually calming down, she suddenly felt that Lin Zhao's illness was a little strange, and it was very intriguing to be born sooner rather than later!

"Don't worry, Dongyang may not be really sick!" Zhao Fukang comforted Chai Minyan for a few words, turned around and ordered someone to secretly inform Mingyue Sect.

She wants to know whether her brother is really sick or pretending to be sick!

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

On March 19 of the sixth year of Xining, when the peach blossoms had not yet withered, it stands to reason that Lin Zhao should have returned to Bianjing. Unfortunately, when he walked to Zhongmu, Lin Zhao suddenly fell ill!

Shaanxi Road Xuanfu envoy, General Yunlu, Zheng Guogong Lin Zhao fell ill on his own territory, which made Zhongmu County Ling Li Chenghua startled.

Everyone knows that General Lin has made great military achievements, and now he is in hot demand, and he is deeply respected by the officials and the people. If there is a three-long and two-short on his own territory, he can't afford it, so he comes to visit in time.

Zheng Guogong didn't put on a show, and Li Chenghua successfully entered the post house where Lin Zhao temporarily lived. When he walked to the door of the room, he saw the soldiers coming out with a basin of blood and water, and a white cloth with blood floating there.

Li Chenghua entered the room, first smelled the solemn smell of medicine, and then saw that the military doctor had just finished bandaging. Lin Zhao reclined on the couch, his thighs wrapped in thick bandages. Blood oozing can be faintly seen.

"The general is so alive and raised, don't move casually these days to prevent the wound from bursting again!" The military doctor instructed and said, "The little one will go down to decoction first!" ”

The military doctor hurried away, Li Chenghua took a look at him, stepped forward and said, "Xiaguan Li Chenghua meets Zheng Guogong!" ”

"Li County Order doesn't have to be polite!" Lin Zhao smiled: "Please forgive me for being injured and rude!" ”

"Where, the prince of the country fights for the country, and the hard work is high!" Li Chenghu flattered for a few words before asking, "Guogong, your injuries are not serious, right?" ”

"Don't worry, I was hit by an arrow when I was in Lanzhou!" Lin Zhao sighed: "I thought I was cured. I didn't expect to be in a hurry these days. The wound opened again. One step away from Bianjing, but there is no way back. I'm causing trouble for Li County's order! ”

"Where? It is an honor to be able to serve the national government! Li Chenghua said: "Guogong is in Zhongmu, if there is any need, just command!" "He was going to recommend a doctor, but when he saw the medic, he changed his mind. Zheng Guogong's status is precious. In case it can't be cured, or if it is cured, it's all troublesome, and more is better than less.

"Okay, it's hard work!"

Li Chenghua left, and Lin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief! Then he got up and walked around freely, where did he look a little injured?

That's right, Lin Zhao is indeed pretending to be sick, this is Shao Yong's suggestion. Let him not be in a hurry to return to Bianjing. Hold off for a while.

As for the reason, it is to guard against Zhao Ji!

As a great hero of the opening of the Xihe River, Lin Zhao's return to Beijing was extraordinary, and Emperor Zhao Ji had already arranged for the privy envoy Han Jiang to be the envoy, ready to personally go out of the city ten miles to greet him. As a sign of grace.

At this time, Lin Zhao was not only in a high position, but also had unprecedented prestige.

Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, after destroying the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Later Shu and other secession regimes, there has never been a matter of opening up the territory, and this time the Xihe River opened for the first time.

The land of the Great Song Dynasty extended thousands of miles to the west, not to mention the recovery of a Lanzhou city. The reconquest of lost territory and the expansion of territory made the military and literati excited, and the entire Great Song Dynasty praised it a little. Although the Song Dynasty valued literature over military force, and even looked down on military generals, it did not reject border work.

What's more, General Lin was also born as a jinshi, from a civilian official to a military general, both civil and military, Wen Ke assisted the king, and Wu Ke stabilized the country, which itself is also the ideal state pursued by scholars.

At that time, Han Qi said "Outside the Donghua Gate, the champion is a hero", which made the style of emphasizing literature and light martial arts reach its peak. This time, Lin Zhao made great achievements in the Northwest Jinge Iron Horse, and inadvertently aroused the pride and ambition of many men why not take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures.

It's just that the Great Song Dynasty has been emphasizing literature and light martial arts for a long time, and it is difficult to change it in a short period of time, this is a subtle process, and it is very long.

The common people are also widely praised for Lin Zhao, especially the people on both sides of the Yellow River, who can be said to be grateful to Lin Zhao. The peach blossoms bloomed, and the ice and snow in the upper reaches of the Yellow River melted and converged into a torrent, which was called the Peach Blossom Flood.

After more than a year, the reinforcement of the embankment in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River has been basically completed, and from Sanmenxia to Qizhou, the concrete embankment is stronger and can easily withstand the flood peak. The dredging of the riverbed has paid off, but it is a long work that requires persistence.

There is no doubt that the damage of the Yellow River has been lifted for the time being. The land of Hebei can finally live and work in peace and contentment, and the people do not have to be displaced, and the people who were uprooted from their homes are gradually beginning to return to their homes. After the flooding of the Yellow River, the land was quite fertile, and the people reclaimed the land and regained hope for life.

Seeing this, Wen Yanbo, the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei Road, immediately went to the imperial court, lightly paid for the thin endowment, and worked hard to restore the production of Hebei Road, which has begun to achieve initial results. At the beginning, under the deliberate propaganda of Mingyuezong, Lin Zhaozhihe's deeds can be said to be well known. When the flooding Yellow River was quiet and no longer endangered their lives, the hearts of the simple people were filled with gratitude.

So now, from the ministers to the people of Limin, they have praised Lin Zhao a lot and are grateful. For a while, Lin Zhao's prestige was unprecedentedly high.

On the one hand, the privy envoy Han Jiang wanted to come to greet him, and I heard that there were also people who spontaneously organized and prepared to welcome him.

Winning the hearts and minds of the people is something that has always been dreamed of, and now the effect is very good. Gaining such a high level of prestige at this time will lead to more support in the future, which is good for the overall situation, which is a good thing that cannot be desired.

At the same time, he was also worried that Zhao Ji would be suspicious of himself, and that guy was notoriously suspicious and sensitive. The success of the master will not end well, especially when he encounters an emperor like Zhao Ji, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge is considered to be a face, and it is not surprising to do the thing of unloading the mill and killing the donkey.

If he didn't have any other identity and no other plans, in terms of his current merits and prestige, the end would be even worse than Di Qing back then. Fortunately, Lin Zhao still has a killer feature, with high merit but he is not afraid of shaking the master, and he can even shake the master.

However, it will be delayed for a few days, and everything will be completed as long as it is delayed until the day of Emperor Renzong's sacrifice. Before that, avoid being suspicious of Zhao Ji as much as possible, and the most important thing is to continue to maintain the position of Shaanxi Road Xuanfu Envoy.

What to do? Zhao Ji, who has a small belly and chicken intestines, is afraid that he is already resentful at this moment, right?

There is only one answer, to delay the time so that he does not have a chance to do it to himself before the sacrifice!

So there is the talk of pretending to be sick!

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

Zhao Xu's heart was not very comfortable, Lin Zhao had contributed to the country, and it was customary to let the privy envoy go to greet him as a sign of grace.

But what's the matter with the people welcoming them? What is the work of eternity? What to expand the territory and regain the lost territory. These were done by Lin Zhao, but if it weren't for the good command and support of the emperor, would it have been possible to go so smoothly? This is an emperor's merit, and the generals who carried it out are meritorious, but they can't be so exaggerated!

The merit is so high that he even steals the limelight from the emperor!

Lin Zhao must be contained, his prestige is unprecedentedly high, and what about himself? Because of the massacre of Yongzhou, the people's hearts were almost lost, forming a huge contrast.

This is not the way, how can a courtier's prestige surpass that of the emperor?

The river has already been crossed, the bridge is demolished, it must be demolished!

Zhao Ji has already made up his mind to suppress Lin Zhao this time. The imperial court can't treat the meritorious officials lightly, especially the Jiaozhi side is still fighting, and it can't make the soldiers in front of it feel cold.

You can't denounce it openly, you can only rise and fall secretly. As for the future, it depends on whether Lin Zhao is interested in it? The Great Song Dynasty could not tolerate the appearance of a second Di Qing!

As for when to do it?

It seems too hasty and too anxious to start immediately. The traces are too obvious, and they leave others with a handle. You have to find the right opportunity, the right reason! But he thought again, will there be long nights and dreams? In the past few years, Zhao Ji's suspicions have become more and more serious.

At this critical time, the news came that Lin Zhao fell ill in Zhongmu.
