Chapter 42: Seeking the Truth

Lin Yu didn't answer, his face drooped very quietly, but Emperor Qingfeng continued to say to himself: "I think back then, when you were still so young, your mother carried you back to the palace, at that time, the peach blossoms in the South Park were blooming well, but your mother was even more beautiful than the peach blossoms." ”

Zhou Zheng was stunned and couldn't help but look up at Emperor Qingfeng.

Lin Yu is already a woman, but Emperor Qingfeng said in front of a woman that her mother was good-looking, which is unruly.

It's just that he is the Ninety-Five Supreme, so the rules are set by him, even if he doesn't have the rules, no one dares to say anything about him.

Lin Yu was still silent, but Zhou Zhengzheng's bright eyes made Emperor Qingfeng a little uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, it's all over." Lin Yu said lightly after a long while.

Emperor Qingfeng stared at Zhou Zheng for a while, and sighed, "You're right, it's all over." And then he set off.

Lin Yu and a few people stood up, and when they left the palace, Zhou Zhengzheng asked, "Mother, the emperor seems to know his grandmother." ”

Lin Yu touched Zhou Zhengzheng's head, "Your grandmother has been in the palace a few times, and it is not strange that she has met the emperor a few times." ”

Lin Yu seems to have a heart to hide it.

In fact, Zhou Zhengzheng has always wanted to know, why is the emperor's surname Lin, the queen mother's surname is also Lin, and Lin Yu's surname is Lin?

The Ming Dynasty has always been the world of the Lin family, if the queen mother is also surnamed Lin, isn't it a rule that the same surname cannot intermarry?

Why did the royal family themselves break this rule?

After returning home, Zhou Zhengzheng asked Lin Yu about this matter alone. In his previous life, Zhou Zhengzheng didn't pay attention to the affairs of the Queen Mother, so he didn't ask, and Lin Yu naturally wouldn't take the initiative to tell her.

But since Zhou Zhengzheng asked, Lin Yu decided to tell her as well.

It turned out that Emperor Qingfeng's father, Emperor Kangming, fell in love with the Lin woman who was still a merchant girl when he was on his southern tour.

The Great Ming Dynasty was originally a power seized by the peasant uprising, and the surname "Lin" is still a big surname, among the people, there are not many families with the same surname as the royal family, but there are also many of them.

Emperor Kang Ming was in distress in Jiangnan, and it was the Lin family who rescued him.

As soon as Emperor Kangming, who valued love and righteousness, returned to the imperial capital, he crowned the Lin family as a nobleman and accepted the Lin family as a concubine.

At that time, because of the issue of the same surname, the ministers were opposed, but Emperor Kangming insisted on this, and the ministers had no choice.

But after the Lin daughter entered the palace, she had no heirs for several years, and after the queen passed away, the Lin daughter was named the queen, and she gave birth to a prince for the emperor.

This Lin daughter is the current Queen Mother, and the prince she was born later is the current Emperor Qingfeng.

And Lin Yu is also the Lin family where the Lin daughter is located, and the Lin daughter has no daughter herself, so she gave her brother's daughter the title of county lord.

Later, the people of the Lin family were sent out to fight by Emperor Qingfeng one after another, and almost all of them died on the battlefield. In the end, no one died.

The Lin daughter cried and her eyes were red, so she took Lin Yu to her side and raised her personally, and also married her to the grandfather of Wu Guo, who held the military power, that is, Zhou Zheng's father, Zhou Jinxuan.

"It turns out that this is the case, but, mother, don't you think this thing is very strange?" Zhou Zhengzheng asked, "The Lin family, are they really all killed in battle, died of illness, and died of accidents?" ”

Lin Yu sighed, "That's what everyone said back then, even the truth found out by the Queen Mother, my mother was still young at the time, and now so many years have passed, and all the evidence clues are gone, besides, people are no longer alive, and they can only be concluded like this." ”

In order to commemorate the merits of the Lin family, Emperor Qingfeng was also very good to Lin Yu, the civil county lord, and rewarded Lin Yu every year, and also gave Lin Yu a gold medal for avoiding death.

This death-free gold medal, Emperor Qingfeng has never given it away, which is enough to prove that Emperor Qingfeng misses the Lin family.

Zhou Zhengzheng sighed, it seems that in her previous life, she didn't know so much truth.

Then Zhou Zheng came to Zhou Yuheng and took a closer look at the silver sword.

The sword body is smooth and shiny, extremely sharp, and there are some words engraved, but Zhou Zheng can't understand it.

Because that's not the Chinese used in the Ming Dynasty.

Those words were crooked, and Zhou Zhengzheng couldn't find anyone to decipher them for a while, so he asked Zhou Yuheng to put them back first.

The next day, Lin Yu was "invited" by the old Duchess of the country, and naturally asked about Zhou Bin's promotion.

Lin Yu said: "The concubine and the queen mother mentioned again that the queen mother only said that the position of the secretary of the ministry is the secretary, and the emperor already has a candidate. Therefore, it is not easy for the concubine to continue. ”

"What? You mean, even the Queen Mother can't help it? Of course, the old Duchess didn't believe Lin Yu's words.

Lin Yu said slowly: "Now the one who can finally make the decision is naturally the saint today." The concubine really tried her best. ”

The old Duchess was so angry that her lips trembled, and she pointed at Lin Yu and wanted to scold but didn't scold.

With the relationship between Lin Yu and the Queen Mother, the old Duchess didn't want to get into too much trouble with Lin Yu, so as not to need Lin Yu to run errands for her in the future.

But the old duchess felt that the queen mother was the emperor's mother, and wanting to be promoted alone was just the meaning of a sentence, and Lin Yu said that the queen mother had no choice, and she was obviously shirking.

She is so stupid, how could she believe that Lin Yu would really use her feelings to help Zhou Bin?

In the end, it is not surnamed Zhou, and the daughter-in-law is the daughter-in-law. The old duchess regretted it very much, and waved her hand to let Lin Yu retreat.

The door curtain was lifted, and Zhou Bin walked out of the inner room.

"Mother, since my sister-in-law is unwilling to help us, it is better for my mother to let Sun go! The Sun family contacted the Xiping Marquis Mansion before and helped me enter the palace to beg Xiao Guifei Niangniang. ”

The old Duchess shook her head, her fingers kept pulling out the Buddha beads, "I don't know who spread the news that the Sun family framed Zhou Zhengzheng, and now the people in the city know about it." If I let her out, wouldn't it make people laugh, there are no rules in the Guogong Mansion? Sun must not be released. ”

It turned out that Zhou Zhengzheng asked Zhang Liangchen and Mo Xiang to spread the news that Sun had framed him early in the morning.

Originally, there were a lot of people coming and going in the shop, and a few people spread it by selling spices, and everyone loved to gossip, and many people saw that day when the old Duchess and Sun stopped a carriage loaded with boxes on the street, so the matter spread faster and faster, and it didn't take long for Sun's reputation to be ruined.

Zhou Bin was anxious, "Mother, then you have to think of a way." In case, the emperor really has a candidate......"

The old Duchess has always loved Zhou Bin the most, so she decided immediately: "Let's go, since the Sun family can't come out, Yunluo can." Yunluo, an eight-year-old girl, even if she does something wrong, she will not ruin her reputation. ”

Zhou Bin was very worried at first, without Sun's company, Zhou Yunluo would not be able to do it, that was to enter the palace, he was timid, and he couldn't say anything nervous.

But when he thought of the calm look of the people Zhou Yunluo dispatched him in the past few days, he agreed-although he was only eight years old, Zhou Yunluo was still very capable, and he had confidence in her.
