Chapter 13: The Battle of the Dragons: Section 123: Dragons (7)

However, what made him even more incomprehensible was why at this moment, why did Empress Dowager Chen tell him these secret things that were so important that they could shake the foundation of the Zheng royal family and cause great turmoil? What did he mean by what he should know? These should have been submerged in history, and should not have been known to anyone. [No pop-up novel network]

The more Ling Luo thought about it, the more he didn't understand, so he could only listen quietly to what Empress Dowager Chen said.

"Before the death of the first king, he had already drafted two secret decrees, one of which was handed over to the chief of Zuo, and the other was placed here in the mourning family. The content of the will, the mourning family can also say it to the letter here. If the male members of the Zheng royal family mislead the country and the people or are killed or wounded, the throne of King Zheng will be inherited by your Xinhou Lingluo. This secret decree is also the fulfillment of the promise of the former king to the chief of Zuo. Originally, King Zheng intended to pass on the order to you, but Zuo Shuchang decided not to accept the order, so he gave up, and the secret decree was also drafted at that time. ”

Ling Luo hurriedly knelt on the ground and said straightly, "The minister has been taught by his father since he was a child, and he is determined to do his best to serve Zheng Guo, the queen mother said that this matter will never be born, even if this is the will of the first king, the minister will never receive the order, and the minister and his father will never be the thief of the country who is scolded by later generations."

Empress Dowager Chen smiled and told him to get up.

"Xinhou doesn't have to be like this, the loyalty of the father and son of Zuo Shuchang and Xinhou is known to the first king, and the mourning family also knows. The mourning family asked the marquis of Xin, is King Zheng a Ming monarch?"

Ling Luo hurriedly said, "King Zheng's wisdom is unique in ancient and modern times. ”

"The mourning family also doesn't know if there is a providence in the dark, and the mourning family and the Xinhou didn't understand why King Zheng was so trusting and affectionate to Beijun in the past. Since knowing Beijun's life experience, the mourning family has understood that mortal things do have their own providence...... King Zheng and Beijun are actually half-brothers......"

Ling Luo no longer knew how to accept the matter in front of him, its intricacies were completely beyond his imagination, until this moment, he fully understood the reason why Empress Dowager Chen was able to forgive Beijun for killing his son, treat it as his own, and still want to save Beijun's life, only to know why Empress Dowager Chen did not clearly express her opposition to the matter of the two kings ruling Zheng Guo after Beijun entered the palace, and just asked Zheng Guowu to pay close attention to Beijun's actions.

“...... At that time, the man lived in the mansion of the chief of Zuo, and his mourning family and sister admired his chess skills and conversation. So he began to tease, one day the mourning family saw him, and one day the mourning family's sister saw him......"

'That person knows his father?' Ling Luo couldn't help but worry a little more as he listened.

“...... That person didn't know anything about our sister until he left Zhengdu with his sister of the mourning family. Because of his anger, Zuo Shuchang cut off his robe and broke off his righteousness, cut off Jin Lan's affection, and never interacted with each other again. And that person, because of the chief Zuo, promised never to mention this matter to anyone, and the chief of Zuo was righteous, and at that time he told the king that the biological father of the son of the mourning family was no longer alive. These things, the mourning family only learned about them later from Zuo Shu's mouth. Zuo Chang also kept his promise and never mentioned the person's real name and surname. When the first king saw that the mourning family had given birth to three princes, he was very happy and said that there was a successor to the royal family. The mourning family thanked the first king for his kindness and vowed never to tell the truth to their three brothers. Naturally, I won't say it to Beijun. Therefore, Beijun only knew that his mother was the sister of the mourning family, but he did not know that he and King Zheng were half-brothers. ”

Empress Dowager Chen said, sighed and said, "Xinhou should understand the intention of the mourning family at this moment. King Zheng has a deep affection for Beijun and his trust is incomprehensible. If Beijun insists on subverting Zheng Guo, the mourning family will never allow it. However, the mourning family didn't want him to take his life, as long as his martial arts were abolished, and then he was guarded day and night by a master, and imprisoned him in the palace, he could not only spend the rest of his life in peace, but also not afraid that he would be able to do things that would endanger Zheng Guo's foundation. ”

Ling Luo then received the order and said, "The minister understands, but the minister does not dare to promise to live up to the trust of the Queen Mother, but dares to say that the minister is willing to do his best to try to do it." ”

Empress Dowager Chen was stunned, and then understood, "Xinhou is worried about the Flying Immortal Sect...... And that makes sense. As long as Xinhou takes this matter to heart and does his best, no matter what the result is, the mourning family will not blame Xinhou. ”

When Ling Luo heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and comforted Empress Dowager Chen, "The minister thinks that the Empress Dowager doesn't need to worry too much. It was not easy to kill Beijun, and besides, it was difficult for King Zheng to allow his ministers to do so anyway, and I am afraid it was impossible to regard Beijun as an enemy. ”

Empress Dowager Chen nodded slowly, and then said indifferently: "The mourning family let Xinhou know the content of the secret decree of the first king, precisely to let Xinhou focus on Zheng Guo's foundation. Although King Zheng was born to the Mourning family, the Mourning family was favored by the first king countless times throughout his life, and he always regarded the three brothers as the blood of the first king, and no matter what, they were not allowed to jeopardize the foundation of the first king. If King Zheng remained obsessed, the mourning family would depose him and pass on the throne to the Marquis of Xin. At that time, let him and Beijun live in the palace, and spend the rest of their lives in peace. ”

The "Queen Mother" Ling Luo couldn't help but be shocked, and she didn't know how to sort out her emotions. Although he had heard Zuo Shuchang say many times, Empress Dowager Chen was the most loyal to the former king and loyal to Zheng Guo. Although she is a woman, she has extraordinary insight and can consider the overall situation of Zheng Guo's foundation in everything.

However, it was not until this moment that Ling Luo knew how respectable Empress Dowager Chen's mind and loyalty to the previous king were.

For the sake of Zheng Guo's foundation, she can even give up a mother's feelings for her parents and children. Empress Dowager Chen only needs Zheng Guo's surname Zheng, and when this cannot be realized, she would rather choose to be loyal to the will of the previous king and let Zheng Guo be inherited by the Ling family designated by the previous king. It would rather be like this, rather than be handed over to the parents and children who cannot govern Zheng Guo's foundation because of their own selfishness.

For a moment, Ling Luo didn't know how to express his inner shock. I know why there are so many ridiculous and secret things, and the former king can still trust and favor the Empress Dowager Chen. At this moment, it can be seen that the ability of the first king to know people is unusually comparable.

"The minister thinks that the queen mother doesn't need to worry too much about this, King Zheng is wise. Although he may always trust Beijun in the future, the Queen Mother is willing to spare Beijun's life and let him live in the palace for a long time, and if there is such a day in the future, King Zheng will definitely not hope that Beijun can change his mind for personal reasons. The responsibility of the king, King Zheng will never forget. Moreover, the minister thought that Beijun was not a ruthless and unrighteous person, and how King Zheng treated him, Beijun knew it, and he was definitely not moved by it. If he failed in the future, the minister thought that he would never complain about the heavens and people, let alone resentment and dissatisfaction with anyone because of the failure, and would even sincerely explain and persuade King Zheng. ”

When Empress Dowager Chen heard this, she was a little happy and said, "Xinhou thinks that Beijun has such a heart-to-heart?"

The minister firmly believes in this and does not doubt that Beijun is the great enemy of the disaster that Zheng Guo must eliminate, but Beijun is also the person whom the minister admires and respects the most in his life. ”
