Chapter 2 Zhao Tianlin: The Truth is Like This

The eighth prince, Lu Zeyu, was captured, and the Beirong army was defeated, and Dayue won this battle. Watching the soldiers in the army raise their glasses to celebrate, the bonfire rises, and there is jubilation, but Zhao Tianlin can't raise any interest.

The excitement is theirs, not his.

Obviously, the emperor's commander is Zhao Tianlin, but no one in the army is headed by him. The battle with Beirong was fought for almost a year, and for a year, he never appeared on the battlefield, did not go into battle to kill the enemy, and did not even watch the battle from the city tower, he was like a bird kept in a cage, and he slept every day in addition to eating and drinking.

He, the coach, is in name only. When Yun Jin was there, the real commander was Yun Jin, and later Yun Jin returned to Beijing, and the commander of the army became Meng Feiyang.

Yun Jin is the coach, but Zhao Tianlin has no ideas. He knows Yunjin's means, and Emperor Yongqing has also explained that this battle in the northwest is not trivial, and it is not possible if it is not Yunjin. But when Yun Jin left the northwest, why did he hand over all the affairs of the military to Meng Feiyang?

Seeing that everyone was smiling and toasting Meng Feiyang, Zhao Tianlin felt very uncomfortable. Meng Feiyang is nineteen years old, a few years younger than him, and he looks like he is just a fledgling, but now he is named the commander by everyone, and the stars hold the moon.

"Brother Zhao." A pleasant voice brought Zhao Tianlin back to his senses.

I saw Princess Lin'an come forward, she was dressed in a snow-white straight robe, except for a little green bamboo embroidery on her waist, she had no outfit, and she had a man's bun on her head, which was set in a delicate white jade hair crown, simple and heroic.

Since the day Zhao Tianlin came to the northwest and met Princess Lin'an, Princess Lin'an has always been like this, making men's clothes. He used to wonder why Princess Lin'an was a dignified princess, not wearing a fancy costume and a pearl hairpin, but wearing men's clothes, and the dress was so simple. Later, I happened to hear the broken mouths of the subordinates talk about two sentences, and I understood.

The battle situation at the border pass was critical, and Princess Lin'an immediately climbed the city tower in person, shouting that Princess Dayue was here, vowing to live and die with the northwest, and foreign Tatars did not want to invade our land!

As soon as these words came out, morale was greatly boosted. Since then, Princess Lin'an often climbs the city tower and beats drums to demonstrate. In order to make it easier to walk, she resolutely took off the woman's cumbersome and gorgeous dress, wore a man's dress, and walked around the city tower, the military camp, and even the battlefield.

"Imperial Sister." Zhao Tianlin saw such a heroic sister, and then looked at himself, and his heart was mixed for a while.

Princess Lin'an took Zhao Tianlin's expression into her eyes, and the corners of her lips hooked slightly, "This palace has received the edict of the prince's brother, the northwest war situation has been decided, and the army can return to the dynasty, does Brother Zhao want to return to Beijing with the palace?" ”

Zhao Tianlin frowned, "Prince? "Where did the prince come from?

"I was busy with the war some time ago, and I forgot to tell Brother Zhao that my father had issued an order to canonize Brother Qi as the crown prince." Princess Lin'an explained lightly.

In fact, such a big thing, of course, will not be forgotten casually. Princess Lin'an knew the thoughts of this half-brother, but he knew the news that King Qi was canonized as the crown prince, and he had other thoughts, so he deliberately suppressed the news.

Now that the war has been decided, even if Zhao Tianlin has crooked thoughts, he can't do anything, and Princess Lin'an doesn't have to hide it.

Sure enough, Zhao Tianlin's face changed, "How could my father ......?"

Zhao Tianlin's face turned pale, didn't his father always care for him to be the crown prince? Even when he came to the border this time, his father deliberately gave him the opportunity to fight, how could he appoint King Qi as the prince?

"Brother Zhao wants to say, how could my father canonize Brother Qi as the crown prince, instead of making you the crown prince." Princess Lin'an's beautiful eyebrows raised, "Brother Qi is the son-in-law of the former emperor's uncle, and he is shrewd and calm, so it is very suitable for his father to appoint him as the crown prince." ”

Originally, Princess Lin'an wanted to stab Zhao Tianlin a few words, but looking at Zhao Tianlin's pale face, Princess Lin'an dispelled this idea again. Without her sarcasm, Zhao Tianlin was already deeply shocked, and she didn't have to do anything more.

It is natural for King Qi to be the prince, no matter which aspect is considered, King Qi is the most suitable candidate for the prince. Princess Lin'an's words were originally intended to persuade Zhao Tianlin not to think about things that did not belong to her, but when these words fell into Zhao Tianlin's ears, they became cynicism.

He clenched his fingers, gritted his teeth, and spit out a sentence for a long time, "Congratulations to the imperial sister." ”

Princess Lin'an was stunned, "Congratulations on what?" Seeing that Zhao Tianlin had been holding back for so long, she thought that he was going to say something, but she didn't want to say such a puzzling sentence.

"King Qi is the crown prince, isn't this exactly what you want in Lin'an?" Zhao Tianlin smiled bitterly, "Lin'an, you have been friends with Xie Qing for a long time, and the Zhennan Wangfu is King Qi's people, you have already formed a camp, right?" ”

During this time, Zhao Tianlin saw clearly that Yunjin and Princess Lin'an had a very good relationship, and the three of them firmly held the military power of the entire northwest in their hands, and they all stood on King Qi's side early.

This is extremely sour, many ministers in the court support King Qi, the civil officials are headed by Xu Gelao, and the military generals are here, only this battle, the northwest is the backing of King Qi.

Wenchen has both military and generals, and Zhao Tianlin knows very well that even if Emperor Yongqing did not decree Zhao Tianqi as the crown prince, Zhao Tianqi's ascension to the throne is a sure thing. He simply couldn't fight.

"Lin'an, why are you doing this?" Zhao Tianlin frowned, "Although we are not the same mother, we are both the children of our father. ”

In Zhao Tianlin's opinion, they are half-brothers and sisters, and King Qi and Princess Lin'an are just cousins. Why would Princess Lin'an help King Qi?

"Why?" Princess Lin'an's eyebrows frowned slightly, "Brother Zhao, you actually ask this question?" Where did the brothers and sisters come from in the royal family? Even if there is, Brother Zhao Wang, you can't make Lin'an trust. ”

"This king thinks that he has not done anything unfavorable to the royal sister, why can't you trust this king?" Zhao Tianlin was puzzled.

Princess Lin'an just wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Meng Feiyang who came over, "Yuan'er explained to him what he was doing so much." ”

A chill flashed in Meng Feiyang's ink eyes, "King Zhao, in Xia Meng Feiyang, was born in the Meng clan in Huaiyang, Prime Minister Li Mu's wife is my aunt, and Li Yunqing is my cousin." ”

Biting the words aunt and cousin between the words, Meng Feiyang did not hide the coldness in his eyes. Parents died early, and Li Mu has always been secretly taking care of their siblings, Meng Feiyang originally thought that his uncle had no son, and he would treat his uncle as a father in the future. However, before he could achieve fame, his uncle had already died. The uncle, who had done his best to die for the sake of Da Yue, was actually executed in the name of collaborating with the enemy and treason. and cousin Li Yunqing, who was as old as a flower, but died of incense.

And the person who killed his uncle was Zhao Tianlin, one was Zhao Tianlin's woman, one was Zhao Tianlin's mother-in-law, and the other was Zhao Tianlin's cousin. And the purpose of the uncle they killed was, in the final analysis, to support Zhao Tianlin to the throne.

Meng Feiyang's hands were clenched into fists, his knuckles were white, and his fists were clenched and gurgling.

To be honest, he has wanted to beat Zhao Tianlin for a long time......

Princess Lin'an gently took her husband's hand and said softly: "Husband, today is a day of great joy, don't spoil your interest." "If Meng Feiyang really did something to Zhao Tianlin, I'm afraid Zhao Tianlin would have to carry it back.

Meng Feiyang nodded and dropped a sentence, "I'll go over there and have a look." Then he left immediately, he was afraid to look at Zhao Tianlin more, he really couldn't help but do it.

And Zhao Tianlin was stunned, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, Meng Feiyang had already gone away.

"Is Meng Juma really Mrs. Li's nephew?" Zhao Tianlin's eyes were full of disbelief. Mrs. Li and the Meng family went early, and the Meng family and the Li family have never had much contact, so Zhao Tianlin is not very sure whether Mrs. Li was born in Huaiyang Meng.

Princess Lin'an nodded, and now she has nothing to hide.

"Yes, it's not just the concubine, but also the crown princess, the crown princess Meng is the sister of the concubine."

Zhao Tianlin was even more shocked, and his eyes widened, "You...... You ......"

Princess Lin'an took over, "That's right, it's what you think, we have already been united, and it is inevitable that Brother Qi will ascend to the throne." ”

"No wonder, no wonder...... Zhao Tianlin clenched his jaw tightly, and his face was instantly filled with indignation, "The northwest has long been in the bag of King Qi, and it is no wonder that as soon as something happened in the northwest, Yun Jin immediately asked to go to the border to supervise the battle, it turned out that the northwest was the power of King Qi." ”

Zhao Tianlin smiled bitterly, "I used to think that when Yunjin left the border pass, I might be able to play a role, it turned out that it was my delusion at all, the northwest has long been firmly controlled by King Qi's wife and brother, where can I interfere." ”

Princess Lin'an didn't plan to talk to Zhao Tianlin more, and was about to leave, but when she heard his words, she immediately retracted her steps. Raising his eyes to meet Zhao Tianlin's eyes, he said solemnly: "Brother Zhao Wang thinks you have a lot of ability?" Do you think you can really command the three armies? ”

There is a clear irony in the words. Zhao Tianlin only felt that his face was scornful, and Princess Lin'an almost said that he was incompetent.

"After so many years, Brother Zhao might as well ask yourself, what have you done over the years?" Princess Lin'an said in a deep voice, "You have achieved nothing, the most vigorous thing you have ever done is that at the time of the wedding, you took the lead in copying the Li family. The result? Now I really want to reveal it, the Li family is wronged, and you killed the prime minister who has made countless meritorious contributions to my Dayue. ”

Zhao Tianlin's face instantly couldn't hold back, "I'm ...... I was also kept in the dark. ”

"Isn't it wrong to kill by mistake?" Princess Lin'an said sarcastically, "King Zhao, what did you rely on to get to where you are today?" First, it is the father's favor for your mother and son, and second, whether you admit it or not, you are blessed by the Li family, if you don't have a marriage contract with the prime minister's daughter, how many ministers in the court do you think will be on your side? ”
