Chapter 208: Negotiation

Emperor Qingfeng looked at Lin Zhongchao, who was standing at the foot of the steps, and felt in a trance, isn't this the prince of the year?

The crown prince is the first son of Emperor Qingfeng, but unfortunately, he is the son of Empress Zhang.

Although Emperor Qingfeng didn't like the prince in his heart, he had to admit that the prince did have the demeanor of a benevolent monarch.

Even if he just stood there, he had the majesty of an emperor.

Emperor Qingfeng once wanted to give up his hatred for Empress Zhang for such a good son. From then on, the father is kind and filial to the son, and the father dies and the son succeeds.

However, it was only later that Emperor Qingfeng realized that he was wrong.

The prince is not like him, but very much like Queen Zhang.

Lin Feng, the son of that palace girl, is similar to him in terms of appearance and personality.

Emperor Qingfeng liked Lin Feng more and more, and he disliked the prince more and more.

Emperor Qingfeng indulged Lin Feng and designed to get rid of the crown prince.

If he hadn't arranged for Lin Feng's sub-father to follow the prince's army and poison the prince, the prince would definitely not have died.

After all, he killed his own son, and Emperor Qingfeng couldn't bear to attack Lin Zhongchao, the orphan left by the prince.

Lin Zhongchao repeatedly said that he didn't ask about his father's affairs, and only obeyed Emperor Qingfeng's orders.

But every time he saw Lin Zhongchao, Emperor Qingfeng would still think of the prince and his bloody hands.

"Chao'er, you and your father are becoming more and more similar. You stand in front of me like your father when he was a child. Emperor Qingfeng sighed, "When I saw you grow up, I thought that I was old. ”

Lin Zhongchao said: "Grandpa Huang is in the prime of life and will never be old. A grandson is a grandson, a father is a father, and a grandson is not the same as a father. ”

Emperor Qingfeng nodded, "Yes, you are more likely to please me than your father." ”

Concubine Wen said with a smile: "According to the concubine, His Royal Highness King Yu is younger and more promising than the prince!" ”

Emperor Qingfeng dislikes others to praise the prince for being young and promising, as if he is inferior to the prince everywhere. Concubine Wen praised Lin Zhongchao like this, which made Emperor Qingfeng immediately dislike Lin Zhongchao.

At this time, the white marble baked by the bright sun was hot, and there were many fewer people coming and going in the large courtyard. In the Imperial Garden, the lush scenery makes the air feel very cool, and the pavilion on the hill is the favorite place for the concubines to stay.

"Chao'er, what's the matter with you, tell me!" Emperor Qingfeng immediately became serious, and the warmth that had risen by chance just now disappeared.

Lin Zhongchao's face remained unchanged, "The courtiers hope that the imperial grandfather will take back the will to give marriage." ”

This emperor's marriage can only be effective if the emperor takes it back.

Emperor Qingfeng said: "Are you talking about the marriage of Zhou Zheng and the fourth child?" This is also what Grandpa Wu agreed, and Miss Zhou didn't come over to object, Chao'er, what are you doing? ”

Lin Zhongchao said: "Grandpa Huang doesn't know, I and Zhou Zhengzheng once had a marriage contract. ”

Emperor Qingfeng was stunned, "When did this happen?" How come I don't know? ”

Lin Zhongchao said: "When my father was here, I had already talked to Grandpa Wu. Chensun and Zhou Zhengzheng also exchanged tokens with each other. ”

Emperor Qingfeng glanced at Concubine Wen, and Concubine Wen said, "King Yu, why didn't Grandpa Wu mention this?" ”

Lin Zhongchao said: "I don't dare to disobey the holy decree, so I didn't mention it." ”

Emperor Qingfeng didn't dare to send Zhou Jinxuan to confront Lin Zhongchao, after all, this marriage had already annoyed Zhou Jinxuan, what if Zhou Jinxuan and Lin Zhongchao communicated with FAW early?

"However, I don't know that you have a marriage contract, if I open my mouth to cancel it, I am afraid that the world will laugh at me for being capricious, why don't Chao'er give up? I am the master of choosing a better door for you. ”

Lin Zhongchao said firmly: "Grandpa Huang, in this life and this life, except for Zhou Zheng, I will never have anyone else." It's also for my father. ”

Emperor Qingfeng said: "If Chao'er can help me lead people to demolish Yunhua Temple, I will not be afraid of the jokes of the world and cancel the marriage." ”

Lin Zhongchao had long expected it, "The courtiers and grandsons are willing to serve the emperor's grandfather." ”

Emperor Qingfeng was very happy.

Unhwa Temple was the last place where the empress lived, and it is said that the empress left a lot of evidence here.

Although the four princes agreed to demolish Yunhua Temple, there were many monks in Yunhua Temple, and they were afraid that the obstacles encountered would be too great, and Emperor Qingfeng was worried that the four princes would not be able to solve it.

If Lin Zhongchao can take over this task, then Yunhua Temple will definitely be demolished, and Lin Zhongchao will lose the hearts of the people because of this.

Emperor Qingfeng's least favorite thing is who is more popular with the people than him.

Of course, Emperor Qingfeng didn't like Lin Zhongchao marrying Zhou Zhengzheng, so that Lin Zhongchao and the Duke of Wu would be too powerful if they united.

But if it was the obedient Lin Zhongchao, it would be different.

Wu Guogong Mansion.

In the middle of the study, a golden silk nanmu desk is placed in the east and west directions, and the four legs of the desk are round, and it is carefully polished at a glance. On the desk, a pitch-black inkstone is the size of a baked cake, the right hand of the inkstone, and the pen holder hangs pens of various thicknesses, and the ink on the tip of the pen is bit by bit. On the wall opposite the desk hangs a horizontal axis that reads, "Good as water."

Zhou Zhengzheng deliberately went home because she heard that Lin Zhongchao was going to lead someone to demolish Yunhua Temple.

There is a memory of the queen's mother, how could Lin Zhongchao do this?

Therefore, Zhou Zheng asked Lin Zhongchao to meet at the Wu Guogong Mansion.

Soon, Zhou Jinxuan came with Lin Zhongchao.

"Ah Zheng, this muddy boy is here. I heard that the emperor has canceled the marriage between you and the fourth child, on the grounds that you already have a marriage contract, and let this kid come over and tell you what is going on. Zhou Jinxuan sat down and said.

Lin Zhongchao looked at Zhou Zheng and said: "I told the emperor that I had a marriage contract with A Zheng, so the emperor canceled the marriage." ”

"Who is betrothed to you? You muddy boy actually ......" Zhou Jinxuan slapped the table angrily and scolded, "There are two hits, but even if you say so, I won't marry Ah Zheng to you!" ”

Zhou Zhengzheng said: "It's more than that. Lin Zhongchao, did you still promise the emperor to take someone to demolish Yunhua Temple? ”

Zhou Jinxuan was stunned, wouldn't it! Is this kid really here?

Lin Zhongchao nodded, "You guessed, yes, it's just a Yunhua Temple, if it can be exchanged for your lifelong happiness, why not demolish it?" The fourth child is not worthy of you. ”

Zhou Zhengzheng said: "If Yunhua Temple is gone, you will become the target of the princeling's anger, and the people's hearts will be lost." Even King An will be disappointed in you. ”

Lin Zhongchao said: "But I can't watch you marry the fourth prince." "In the previous life, the fourth prince died in the struggle for the crown, if the fourth child married Lin Feng's favorite woman in this life, the fourth prince would die faster, and Zhou Zhengzheng would still become a widow.

Zhou Zhengzheng said: "You will lose the support of so many people, is it worth it? ”

Lin Zhongchao said: "If it weren't for the poisoning, I wouldn't have let go of your hand from the beginning." You are more important than anything else. ”
