This secret door is very hidden, and it is dark inside, as if the fear of the unknown is lurking.

Lin Boqin was slightly stunned and followed.

I couldn't see my fingers in the house.

Prime Minister Song lit the fire, only to see a wooden board covered in the corner, and he said that the wooden board was lifted, revealing a staircase that led to the ground.

"Prime Minister......

Lin Boqin was quite stunned, he frowned and was about to ask, when he heard Prime Minister Song Cheng say: "Boqin, this is an opportunity." ”

His tone was firm and unmistakable.

Prime Minister Song Cheng held the fire fold, led the way, and took the lead downstairs, Lin Boqin hesitated for a moment, and also followed. Walk up a long wooden staircase to a cramped dark room.

The dark room was lit with candles, but the hall was bright, and a table of eight immortals in the center was full of delicacies.

A man wearing a blue hat and a scribe's robe is standing with his back on his back.

"Lord Wang, this is Lord Lin Boqin."

Prime Minister Song Cheng bowed to the man, and the man turned around, with a long face, three strands of light hair, and looked like a fairy wind and bones, it was unimaginable that he was the king of Mu Xian in the current dynasty, Chu Jin.

After Prime Minister Song was introduced, Lin Boqin hurriedly saluted, lowered his eyes, and concealed his shock.

King Mu Xian's fief was south of the Luan River, and he was in charge of the three states and led the army to defend the southern barbarians. When the king of the court is not allowed to enter Beijing without an edict, otherwise he will be punished for rebellion, which is a great crime of killing the head.

However, looking at King Mu Xian's calm and breezy appearance, it was not the first time he had secretly entered Beijing.

Could it be ......

Lin Boqin's heart jumped, it was rumored that King Mu Xian was trying to rebel, is this true? Otherwise, how could Prime Minister Song ask him just now, Duke Qi Huan and Guan Zhong closed the door and plotted against Ju?

The whole country knows that Duke Huan is fighting Ju, King Mu Xian is eyeing the throne, and who in the court doesn't know?

It's just the same thing.

He secretly guessed that King Mu Xian was also looking at him, and after a while, King Mu Xian chuckled: "Lord Lin is a talented person and looks dignified, which surprises this king." He took out Lin Boqin's previous "Xiyue Fu" from his arms, "This article is excellent. ”

"The prince loves him, and he is ashamed to be an official."

Lin Boqin arched his hand.

King Mu Xian handed him the rice paper, "After reading it, this king thought about it for a moment, and made annotations in many places in the original text, Lord Lin, can you take a look at what this king wrote, is it appropriate?" ”

Lin Boqin was modest, took it with both hands, and took a closer look, the annotations left by King Mu Xian were all about political affairs, and even mentioned that the emperor had wantonly increased the taxes and miscellaneous taxes in order to prepare for the construction of Dongyue Ascending Tower.

It was obviously a cold weather, but Lin Boqin had a thin layer of sweat behind him.

"Lord Lin, what do you think about this?"

King Mu Xian stroked the jade wrench on his thumb and raised his eyes to ask him.

“…… The prince's thin gold body is written very stylishly. Lin Boqin was also helpless, he had to answer perfunctorily, and in the end, he was afraid that King Mu Xian would be angry, so he accused a few words that should not be oppressed by the people.

King Mu Xian chuckled when he heard this: "Lord Lin, it is not a good way to blindly protect oneself and practice the golden mean. ”

"What does the prince mean?" Lin Boqin asked knowingly.

"You have made many achievements in politics these days, and you have written articles and poems everywhere, and what you want is fame. What do you want to be famous? Naturally, it is a smooth march to the sky! King Mu Xian's eyes froze, "Although Mingzhe is safe, it is not a one-step strategy to ascend to the sky. Time does not wait for me, rich and powerful...... Seek it in the midst of danger. ”

Lin Boqin was stunned when he heard this.

There is some truth in King Mu Xian's words.

Although he is now emerging in Beijing, there is still a big distance to stand side by side with Chu Cheng. In three years and five years, he can wait, but Chu Cheng can't wait.

Chu Cheng left the palace in order to escape from marriage, and now that he has returned, he wants to fulfill his marriage contract with Chen Yu'an. Chu Cheng and Chen Yu'an's big wedding date, I'm afraid it will also be set, right?

Thinking of this, Lin Boqin twisted his eyebrows.

Seeing his hesitation, King Mu Xian couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Lord Lin, now that this king has decided the overall situation, he is just waiting for the support of the crowd to reach the top once." The new dynasty has the assistance of Er and others, which is like a tiger with wings. ”

Lin Boqin did not answer.

King Mu Xian said: "Over the years, this king has boasted of being virtuous and capable, and today he is sincere in spitting and holding his hair, following the example of Zhou Gong Hanzu, do you really want to consider it?" ”

Lin Boqin's heart was very tormented.

He has read poetry and books since he was a child, learned Confucius and Mencius, and is upright, loyal and patriotic, and stable in society. However, although King Mu Xian did not say it explicitly, he kept persuading him to take refuge and rebel, which ...... Isn't it against the ancient precepts of his Lin family's loyal ministers, and is he a rebellious minister and thief?

Lin Boqin suddenly raised his head and said: "Lord Wang, now that Emperor Jianwu is in power, he is not a great man, but he is also excellent and capable, from the temple to the people, no one has complaints. The prince intends to replace him, and the teacher is unknown! ”

"Good question!"

King Mu Xian stroked his palms and smiled, "Today, this king will tell you what a great unification is!" ”

Lin Boqin was hesitating, and King Mu Xian glanced at Prime Minister Song, who nodded, turned around and opened the cabinet in the secret room, and took out a bright yellow silk edict.

King Mu Xian said: "This is a rubbings of the edict of succession left by the emperor before his death. ”

He generously handed it to Lin Boqin.

Lin Boqin unfolded the edict and looked at it, and immediately raised his head in shock: "Today's saint ...... Wasn't he born to the emperor? ”

King Mu Xian snorted coldly, as if he had long been accustomed to the shock of everyone when he learned of this, he said lightly: "Emperor Jianwu's biological mother is from Jiangnan Qinji, and her name is Hanzhi. The first emperor Gaozong went to the south of the Yangtze River that year, met him, brought him into the palace, and despite the opposition of Taizu, he was named a concubine, and he was honored and favored, and gave birth to a son at the age of seven months - it is the current Emperor Jianwu. Later, the emperor found that although Emperor Jianwu was born prematurely, his body was better than that of a full-term baby, and his appearance was not similar to him. ”

When Lin Boqin heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned: "If this is the case, Gaozong should give the concubine Xian to die, how can he still establish Emperor Jianwu to inherit the unification?" And as far as the lower officials know, after the death of Concubine Xian, she was posthumously named Kang Huishu and buried in Zhaoling. ”

"Picking cold branches is stunning, the emperor is obsessed with beauty and can't extricate himself, and he loves it deeply." King Mu Xian didn't know what to think, and added, "Princess Huarong is very similar to the one who picks up the cold branches. ”

Lin Boqin's heart skipped a slight beat.

It turned out that she was good-looking, and she inherited her imperial grandmother.

When Gaozong learned of this, instead of giving the cold branch to death, after picking the cold branch and admitting his mistake, he got back together, and even at the moment of death, he told the truth to the princess and set up the king to inherit the throne. It's a pity that ......" King Mu Xian's expression suddenly turned cold, "It's a pity that he picked up the cold branch and had a vicious mind, and conspired with others to steal the holy decree, poison the queen mother and concubine, and let a wild seed ascend the throne!" ”

Lin Boqin looked at his nose and nose and his heart, and did not echo it.

King Mu Xian calmed down a little, looked at him and said, "What this king has done is to eradicate different surnames and establish royal orthodoxy. ”

He is the real royal bloodline, and now he should belong to him in a high position!

Fortunately, the first emperor had left him a military power back then, otherwise he would have been killed by Emperor Jianwu's suspicion. For so many years, he has been hidden, and now that his wealth and military strength can compete with Emperor Jianwu, his heart of Sima Zhao does not need to be hidden.

Even...... He deliberately spread the rumor of rebellion, just to make Emperor Jianwu unable to hold back first and attack him, so that he would counterattack and change his name!

"What the prince said today, the lower officials will carefully consider it."

Lin Boqin still doesn't know whether this matter is true or not, so it is difficult to answer. King Mu Xian knew everything about him as a five-rank official, so he must have expected that he would not tell these things, or would he ...... He has a handle in his hands against himself, and he has been watched by him. If he says half a sentence that shouldn't be said, he Lin Boqin doesn't want to live.

King Mu Xian said lightly: "In this case, Lord Lin should think clearly. ”

Lin Boqin was about to nod but heard King Mu Xian ask again: "Lord Lin came to Beijing for more than a month, and the Ministry of Rites is a member of the Wailang Lu Guinian, have you seen it?" ”

Lin Boqin had no impression of this person, he bowed his head and said, "I haven't seen it yet." ”

King Mu Xian sighed and said lightly: "A few days ago, I heard that he lost something, and I bothered Lord Lin to carefully check for this king, where did the thing he lost. ”

Lin Boqin only felt that this matter was not simple, Lu Guinian lost something, and he didn't report the case, why was he in a hurry?

He was stunned and said, "Dare to ask the prince, what is this Lord Lu lost?" ”

"A painting."

"What painting?"

King Mu Xian stroked the jade wrench on his thumb and squinted: "Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains." ”
