Emperor Qingfeng said: "I know that this girl of yours is a talented girl, so I specially gave you a set of precious four treasures of the study, you see, can you recognize it." ”

The eunuch came over and uncovered the pomegranate-colored silk scarf, Zhou Zheng opened it and said: "This inkstone is the Qingzhou purple gold stone inkstone, the stone color is pure purple, the color is delicate and delicate, this is a xuan pen made of rabbit hair, the decoration is elegant, and the coat color is pure white." It's not ordinary. ”

Emperor Qingfeng nodded appreciatively, "Chao'er, your future princess is not an ordinary woman, just looking at her eyesight, she is not ordinary." ”

"Thank you for the compliment." Lin Zhongchao saluted, "But Grandpa Huang, it is an important matter for the ministers and grandsons to come to you today. ”

Emperor Qingfeng's face returned to seriousness, and he withdrew the eunuch and palace maid, and said, "You say." ”

Lin Zhongchao said: "The minister wants to ask the imperial grandfather, the An Wang army outside the city has not yet begun to retreat, what does the imperial grandfather plan to do?" ”

"That's what it was." Emperor Qingfeng casually picked up a piece of music, planned to look at it, and said, "I am planning to send someone to invite Lin Dark Night to come over!" I want to bury King An well, and Lin Darkye, as the great-great-grandson of King An, should come over to participate. ”

Lin Zhongchao seemed to understand something, and said, "Then the courtiers tried to invite Lin Darkye." ”

"It's best if you'd like to go out of town." Emperor Qingfeng said, "Then you will carry a box of gold and set off tomorrow!" I am waiting for your good news. With that, the eunuch took out a box of gold.

Lin Zhongchao thanked him and withdrew with Zhou Zhengzheng.

The road leading to the Imperial Garden is paved with pebbles of similar size, and because of the large number of people walking, the stone surface is polished smooth and smooth, and it looks like pearls in the sun. On both sides of the road, elm leaves and plums stood quietly, although there was no spring bustle, but still luxuriant.

Zhou Zhengzheng asked suspiciously: "Brother Chao, why do you want to promise the emperor?" If Lin was allowed to enter Beijing at night, wouldn't he be ambushed by the emperor? ”

"The emperor didn't want to think about it, so he proposed to let King An be buried in the capital, and Lin Dark Night definitely wanted to take King An's ashes back to the border for burial, it can be seen that the emperor has already planned, this time he must lead Lin Dark Night into Beijing and kill Wang An's army in one go. Even if I don't go out of the city, I don't accept this task, and the emperor will let other people out of the city, because the emperor has already set up an ambush. When I went out of the city this time, I just wanted Lin to leave safely along the convenient path in the dark night. If other people go out of the city, I'm afraid that Lin will be tricked out of the night! Lin Zhongchao analyzed.

"But in this way, you will be in a dilemma, if you don't do it, the emperor will suspect you, and Lin Dark Night will also think that you were sent by the emperor to harm him. And, what if Lin Dark Night doesn't want to listen to you? So what about An Wangjun? Zhou Zhengzheng said, "I'll go with you!" One more person, one more care. ”

Lin Zhongchao smiled: "You are a girl's family, what are you doing in the barracks?" With so many stinky men, it's not good to have a bad reputation! ”

The two walked all the way, and before they knew it, they came to a garden, where Lin Zhongchao reached out and picked a flower and put it on Zhou Zheng's thick hair.

"Brother Super, will Lin Dark Night detain you?" Zhou Zhengzheng was worried.

"If he wants to detain me, it will be even worse for you to go in the past, he will take you hostage, and I will promise him anything." Lin Zhongchao hooked Zhou Zheng's nose and said with a smile, "Okay, don't worry, I will come back safely." ”

The next day, the sky was high and the clouds were light, Lin Zhongchao sat in a carriage, wearing the gold given by the emperor, and went out of the city to An Wangjun.

When Lin heard that the person who came was Lin Zhongchao, his eyes lit up, and he said to himself: "He finally didn't forget me." Let him in. ”

Lin Zhongchao came to explain his intention, "The emperor wants you to attend King An's funeral, but if you pass, you will definitely be ambushed, life and death are unpredictable, this is a convenient route to the border pass, you leave according to this route, even if the emperor chases you, it will be fine." ”

Lin looked at the route map and didn't speak.

One of the counselors of the forest night said, "Why should we believe you? Who knows if you are the dog emperor's man, is this your ruse to lure us into an ambush. ”

"My father was very familiar with the route when he was at the border, so this is not fake." Lin Zhongchao looked at Lin Dark Night and said: "Dark Night, you and I are friends of life and death, and we have run Kangtai Pavilion together for many years, I won't lie to you." ”

"King An is dead, why didn't you protect King An?" Lin Darknight's body trembled in pain.

Lin Zhongchao's eyes dimmed, "It's that I'm useless, I can't protect King An." You can blame me, but the most important thing at the moment is how to protect An Wangjun's retreat to the border. ”

Lin Dark Night suddenly pulled out a knife and put it on Lin Zhongchao's neck, "Lin Zhongchao, I will kill you." Aren't you afraid? ”

"I have a clear conscience, so there's nothing to be afraid of." Lin Zhongchao didn't blink his eyes.

Lin stared at Lin Zhongchao at night for half a pillar of incense.

The wind blew, and the tent cloth was blown up.

Lin Dark Night put down the knife, and with a bang, the knife was thrown to the ground.

The counsellor shouted, "Don't trust him! ”

Lin said coldly: "I believe him!" Lin Zhongchao won't lie to me! The whole army is ready, retreat tonight! ”

Lin Zhongchao patted Lin Darkye's shoulder, "Good brother! ”

Lin Zhongchao went back, but he didn't directly tell Emperor Qingfeng that he wanted to leave some time for An Wangjun's retreat. By the time Emperor Qingfeng reacted, An Wangjun had already retreated far away. Even if Emperor Qingfeng wanted to pursue, he couldn't win.

The mountains and forests are lush, the cool breeze is slow, and the atmosphere of pines and cypresses envelops the entire Yunhua Mountain.

The black crowd crowded the mountain road, and all kinds of large and small couplings echoed back and forth, which was particularly conspicuous in the green.

Among them, the first one is the emperor's handwritten couplet, which reads "The history of righteousness, courage, loyalty, liver and light, and the name of the spring and autumn festival is shocking." ”

The deafening sound of gongs resounded in the sky, and the cries of Prince An's relatives also filled the entire mountain forest.

I was all moved by it.

Although the officials also appeared, most of the expressions on their faces were flat, and they were very different from their relatives.

The coffin of King An, surrounded by his relatives, was made of high-quality golden silk nanmu, and the whole body was sealed and brushed with stone lacquer, and it was painted red. Each of the four bottom corners is wrapped in pure gold.

When the auspicious time came, the coffin of King An, who was tied with hemp rope, was slowly lowered into the grave pit that had been prepared long ago. Right next to the Queen's cemetery.

The armor and sword in front of King An were also buried.

Subsequently, the relatives each grabbed a handful of loess and sprinkled it on King An's coffin, and then dug out the loess before. Rebury it.

Needlessly, a group of people also planted a large number of pine and cypress trees around the area and hung red ropes.
