Chapter 389: Killing the King
Lin Zhongchao summoned everyone in Daxiangguo Temple and said: "Abbot Dayuan was killed by a traitor and has only been missing for a few months. Now that he has returned intact, he should return to the position of abbot. I hope that everyone will unite as one and jointly manage the Great Xiangguo Temple, and such a thing as burying weapons in the temple will never happen again. ”
The monks should be well.
Monk Dayuan then also gave a speech and returned to his position.
Lin Zhongchao sent all the soldiers and horses who originally guarded the Great Xiangguo Temple to other places and replaced them with his own soldiers and horses.
On the street, a farmer in a thick cotton jacket carried a burden, which was filled with freshly dug sweet potatoes, wrapped in mud and revealing a layer of water red.
"Sweet potato, freshly dug sweet potato," the old man put the sweet potato on the ground and shouted at the passing crowd, but everyone walked on their own and did not look at the old man much.
Wen House.
Lin Zhongchao was wearing a light blue stand-up collar long coat, with a circle of brown rabbit fur sewn on the cuffs, and an orange-red fox fur cloak on the outside, and a pair of pants tucked into a pair of leather boots on the lower body, looking handsome.
Wen Ci was wearing a dark green embroidered long robe, with a mink coat on the outside, the fluffy coat was soft to the touch, very warm and beautiful, opened the small door, and welcomed Lin Zhongchao very low-key.
A person stepped down from Lin Zhongchao's carriage, a person who made Wen Ci burst into tears with excitement, that was Old Lady Wen!
"Father, son knows you're alive." Wen Ci choked.
Lin Zhongchao didn't wait for Old Lady Wen to speak, and said, "Let's go in and talk about it." ”
In the garden, there was a cold silence, a cold wind, and a dry air in the wind. The water in the pond is no longer as clear as it is in summer, and the rockery has become lifeless.
Old Lady Wen rested on the chair for a while, her complexion looked good, and Wen Ci asked several slaves and maids to beat Old Lady Wen's back and legs.
"Father, son is not filial. Can't protect my sister. Wen Ci choked.
Doctor Wen said, "I can't blame you, even my father used to be a ghost!" It's a pity that the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, which can be regarded as my retribution. ”
Lin Zhongchao said: "It's all over, and it's the most important thing to cherish the present." ”
Wen Ci said: "Fortunately, Zhou Zhengzheng saved me in time, and I came out of the cell, but I was demoted to an official position and can no longer be a doctor. ”
Lin Zhongchao said: "Yes, Mrs. Wen, in the past, I asked you to hide for fear that the emperor would be unfavorable to you, but now the emperor is difficult to protect himself, and your exit from the mountain can be regarded as maintaining the hereditary status of the Wen family." ”
Wen Ci was convicted and could not accept the title, the old lady Wen only had one son, Wen Ci, and the Wen family was facing a fault.
Old Lady Wen nodded, "The old man still wants to ask the emperor why he is so ruthless and wants to give my daughter to death." and marry me as a granddaughter to the bones of the North Diye. ”
Lin Zhongchao said: "I'm afraid that if you ask this, the emperor will be unfavorable to you, the old lady, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan!" ”
Wen Ci also persuaded: "Yes, father, the emperor is unkind and unjust, it will not last long, the prince has returned, the Da Ming Dynasty will soon have a new scene, and my father must not take risks." ”
Old Lady Wen coughed a few times, "The old man really can't swallow this breath, the Wen family is bullied like this." ”
"It'll be fine, father." Wen Ci's eyes were red, and she said guiltily, "It's all because my son is useless." ”
Lin Zhongchao said: "Wen Ci, as long as you continue to look at Lin Junsheng, it will be the greatest help to us." ”
It turned out that Zhou Zhengzheng had asked Wen Ci to gain Lin Junsheng's trust, lurking beside Lin Junsheng, waiting for an opportunity to act.
However, Old Lady Wen still couldn't help but ask Emperor Qingfeng about it after taking office.
In the palace, there was a bleak atmosphere. The cold wind blew all the roads clean, and there was not even a single bird left. On the four palace walls, there is no usual vitality, only some tenacious weeds are left to sway in the wind. The cold wind blew across the lake, but it didn't seem to bring any ripples, and the dry and cold air froze the pond water. The palace maids and eunuchs who came and went to the various dormitories also shrunk their necks and went back and forth quickly.
Emperor Qingfeng was high up, sitting on the dragon chair with his feet apart, looking at the old lady Wen with arrogance and disdain.
After going through so much, Mrs. Wen is getting old. It's really old.
No matter how skilled he is, he still grows old inexorably when the heavy experience overwhelms his mental defenses.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Wen went to the soup for the emperor, why was the emperor so ruthless and gave Concubine Wen to death?" Lady Wen's lips trembled.
"Concubine Wen is not for me, Concubine Wen does so much for the Wen family. She knew that there was only one Wen Ci in the Wen family, and Wen Ci was not motivated, so in order for the Wen family to enjoy the emperor's grace for the rest of their lives, Concubine Wen went to the soup. Emperor Qingfeng said coldly, "Besides, Zhou Zheng is aggressive, and I have no choice but to kill Concubine Wen." It was not I who killed Concubine Wen, but Zhou Zheng, but the Duke of Wu's mansion. ”
For so many years, Emperor Qingfeng has always wanted to get rid of the Duke of Wu, but he has never been able to do it. Now, since they have all spoken out, Emperor Qingfeng is not afraid to point directly at the Duke of Wu.
"I can't imagine that the emperor has pushed the responsibility away, so what about Princess Jing'an? Why was the emperor so ruthless and sent her to the tiger's mouth? She is also the emperor's own flesh and blood. Old Lady Wen's hands trembled, because she was excited.
Emperor Qingfeng's eyebrows furrowed, "You also know that she is my daughter, so you should worry about me!" Yelu Gu asked her by name, and I had to agree in order to save my life. ”
Old Lady Wen smiled bitterly: "The emperor's life is life, but the life of Concubine Wen and the princess is not life!" ”
"Bold!" Emperor Qingfeng was furious, "Wen Aiqing, you have lived too long and can't even speak, right?" ”
Old Lady Wen laughed, "I came today, and I didn't want to get out alive!" As he spoke, he threw the crutches in his hand at Emperor Qingfeng.
This happened too suddenly, Emperor Qingfeng had no defense, and Emperor Qingfeng's body was not as good as before because of poisoning, so he didn't escape it, and the crutch still fell on Emperor Qingfeng's forehead!
Emperor Qingfeng almost fainted, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, "You, you dare to kill the king!" ”
Lin Zhongchao walked in before Emperor Qingfeng's men and horses came in, "Grandpa Huang, who killed the king?" ”
"Chao'er, he wants to kill the king! Kill him! Emperor Qingfeng pointed at the old lady Wen and said.
Lin Zhongchao said: "Is Grandpa Huang talking about Imperial Doctor Wen?" No, Doctor Wen is already old, how can she kill the king. ”
Old Lady Wen was indeed too excited and fell to the ground.
At this time, Emperor Qingfeng was even more unclear.
"It's him! He just threw me with a cane! ”
