"It's been more than ten years since I talked about this, do you remember the assassination at my birthday banquet?" The Queen Mother fell into deep memories, she just asked casually with her own memories, and said it again without waiting for Zhang Ling to answer. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"After that assassination, the spies I planted in the palace of the Empress Dowager would always send me some strange messages, such as that the Empress Dowager would always go to a well alone in the middle of the night, and that she had to be alone when she had breakfast, and that she often spoke to the air inexplicably, which sounded very unbelievable. But the Empress Dowager has lived in seclusion in the deep palace for many years, so she shouldn't have any contact with the outside world!"

"Why are you spying on the Empress Dowager?" Zhang Ling suddenly interrupted her words and asked with a frown.

The Queen Mother's expression darkened, and pain appeared in her eyes, "That's another matter, that matter is related to the emperor." ”

She said that the whole person was a little restless, as if she was desperately trying to suppress a surge of anger.

"It wasn't until later that I learned that there had always been monks protecting the Empress Dowager by her side!"

Zhang Ling was taken aback, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

"The monk has always been behind her, so the assassination that night will not be successful, because the monk is very powerful, and the group of assassins at that time will not be his opponent......!

Her face twitched, and she drank a glass of water to hide the throbbing in her heart.

"Later, I found out that the Queen Mother had an unclear relationship with the monk. When she said this, she bowed her head deeply, no matter what, it was the Empress Dowager, her elder, even if the Empress Dowager misbehaved, she would feel ashamed.

Zhang Ling's heart shook, but he didn't speak, these things were not originally things that he should know as a junior, but since the Queen Mother mentioned it, it must be closely related to what he wanted to know. He poured a cup of hot water and put it in the Queen Mother's hand, silently clenching her cold hand.

The Queen Mother glanced at him gratefully, speaking of which, she had nothing to hide, and the heavy stone in her heart seemed to be slowly letting go, as the matter came out little by little, her face slowly returned to normal, and finally the whole person seemed to be relaxed, and even brought a little smile.

"Ling'er, that's the way it is, everything I do is worthy of the emperor, worthy of my heart, even if I do such a vicious thing, but in the end, I am still for the entire Yue Kingdom!

The Queen Mother said softly, but she was extremely firm.

A woman, with such a heavy burden in her heart, Zhang Ling didn't know how she had come over all these years, so she could only hold her hand tightly.

"Queen Mother, I think there are still a lot of things I don't understand, you give me a few days, let me check this matter, if the facts are really what you said, then I will definitely let King Heng ascend the throne!"

The Queen Mother nodded, her whole heart was relaxed, and with a smile on her face, she seemed to be ten years younger in an instant.

Zhang Ling didn't stay any longer, and quietly left along the way he came.

In the darkness not far from the palace gate, He Guang waited boredly, and the snow under his feet was trampled into ice slag by him. After the two met, they left the place in hiding and returned to the inn at a fast speed.

Except for a few maids who fainted in the Queen Mother's palace, no one knew that there would be uninvited guests in the palace in the middle of the night, but those maids were kicked out of the palace by the Queen Mother the next day.

He Guang reactivated part of the intelligence network, and the news was very fast, and Zhang Ling got everything he wanted to know in three days.

But when he held the thin pages of secret letters in his hands, he felt that the future of the entire Yue Kingdom seemed to be here.

In the sky above Shengjing, the heavy snow that lasted for three days showed no signs of stopping, making it difficult for people to travel, and even some houses were crushed by the heavy snow, causing some casualties.

Jingzhao Yamen had to report to the authorities and ask for the support of the officers and soldiers to clean up this beautiful but troublesome snow disaster.

On the morning of the seventh day, the people were surprised to find that the snow had stopped.

Then people were shocked to find that under the snowdrifts cleared by the officers and soldiers, one hundred and thirty-one corpses were soaked after melting!

This incident caused panic among the people, and the fact that so many corpses would appear at the feet of the Son of Heaven was simply a contempt for the Son of Heaven!

The young emperor was extremely angry, and showed his anger for the first time in front of the civil and military officials, and immediately removed the position of the commander of the Shengjing Nine Gates and the secretary of the military department, and ordered that the matter must be investigated within half a month.

In Yanxi Palace, the Queen Mother rarely spoke to the emperor with a pleasant face, and there was some embarrassment and chagrin between her expressions, but more joy and relaxation. Zhang Ling and He Guang sat on the side and watched quietly.

Others don't know, but Zhang Ling and the others know, because they killed those people!

The one hundred and thirty-one corpses, all of them were monks, and their cultivation levels were different, but they were already powerful beings in the world.

Zhang Ling was glad in his heart, fortunately, he insisted on his promise to the first emperor and must intervene in this matter, if not, this Yue Guo would really not be Yue Guo.

Those monks are all Rashomon people!

These people, the queen mother and the emperor don't know, even He Guang doesn't know anything about them, only Zhang Ling clearly knows that the purpose of those people is actually him! Many years ago, Zhang Ling once killed two people, and that was the first time he killed someone, and those two people were the sons of the master of the Rashomon Gate.

Fang Leshan and Fang Letong.

It wasn't until the assassination of the palace later, the pursuit and killing that he and Yu Ziyu encountered along the way, and the time when Zhang Ling almost died in the last battle of the Xia Kingdom, all of which were planned by Rashomon behind his back.

However, Zhang Ling's strength became stronger and stronger, and later he was in the Yunwang Mansion, with the protection of the more powerful Zhang Yao and the Yunwang, and then disappeared for many years, and Rashomon couldn't deal with Zhang Ling, so he turned to the royal family who was close to Zhang Ling.

That night, the Queen Mother told things in a trance, which kept Zhang Ling's heart shaking.

The first thing is about the death of the former emperor, in fact, it was Rashomon's ghost behind it, otherwise it would not have been a little injured and finally collapsed. Moreover, King Cheng's rebellion is also inextricably linked with Rashomon, and these intricately related relationships finally led to the current situation.

The second thing is that the Empress Dowager's private life is inappropriate, and the Empress Dowager died soon after King Cheng's rebellion failed, and the cause of death could not be found, and the Empress Dowager felt that it was the monk's hand. The most important thing is that before the Queen Mother died, she sent someone to pass a message to the queen, she said, this world is never hers, even if it is hers, it is not hers!

The Queen Mother didn't understand the meaning of this sentence until one time the grandmother next to the Queen Mother made a mistake and confessed to something under the coercion of words and deeds.

The current emperor Zhang Ye is actually not from the Queen Mother, but the son of the Queen Mother and King Cheng!

However, King Cheng and the Empress Dowager are both dead, and there is no proof of this death, which has become the Queen Mother's heart disease, and when she looks at Zhang Ye, she begins to feel more and more disgusted.

However, Zhang Ling carefully verified the time of the Empress Dowager in those years, and came to the conclusion that Zhang Ye was the real child of the first emperor, and Zhang Chong, the king of Heng, was the illegitimate son of the first empress dowager and King Cheng.

Because Zhang Ye is the eldest son of the first emperor, the first emperor put a lot of effort into him, he never left the palace before going to the South China Sea, and it is impossible to be dropped.

And when the second prince was born, the queen mother was in Taiguan Temple, and at that time, the first queen mother was recuperating in Xiantai Mountain, and neither of them was in the palace, so the chance of being dropped was greater! And soon after the second prince was born, the stable woman and the maid who delivered the baby died inexplicably one by one, which is even more suspicious.

Moreover, Zhang Ye's personality follows his father, very much like the first emperor, but Zhang Chong's personality is not like anyone else, and even his appearance is more similar to the first queen mother, and the queen mother at that time was jealous and said that this child was closer to the first queen mother!

Now that I think about it, the information that Zhang Ling found seems to be more accurate.

Moreover, it was Zhang Chong who instigated the empress dowager to give the emperor a meridian needle! He cried and begged the empress dowager that he did not want to leave her, and finally took out the meridian needle and said that it was better to eat the meridian needle, and to represent the heart of missing the queen mother with the pain of day and night. The Queen Mother took the meridian needle from him at that time and scolded him for not doing stupid things again.

Later, the relationship with the emperor became more and more stiff, so she simply gave him this meridian needle, but after giving it to the emperor, she regretted it, even if this child was not her own, she had been in pain for so many years, how could she bear his pain day and night. It's just that the matter has been done, and the emperor is dead to her, and the two can only go further and further in the direction of ice.

Zhang Ling didn't tell Zhang Ye about these things, but just told him that the Queen Mother didn't mean to harm him, but had to do it for the sake of this Yue Kingdom, and now He Guang has cleared the medicinal properties of the meridian needle for him. With Zhang Ye's intelligence, he must be able to understand some things as a last resort, but Zhang Ling and his mother hid it from him, presumably even if he knew about it, it would be useless.

The queen mother and the emperor talked for a while, and their expressions sank. This is her real son, she almost listened to the villain's words and harmed her own parents, these things made the queen mother's heart hurt like being pricked by a needle.

Zhang Ye stood up, he hadn't experienced this feeling of admiration for many years, and said with a red smile: "No matter what, I still want to thank the eldest brother and He Gongzi!"

After saying that, he bowed his hand deeply, looking sincere, and his eyes were slightly red.

He Guang jumped to the side, but Zhang Ling accepted it with peace of mind, this determination made He Guang feel ashamed.

"The matter has passed, in the future, you should govern Yue Guo more dedicatedly, after I leave in the future, if you have any problems, you will find Ming Xu to help, and if you really implement it, you will go to Yunwangfu to find He Guang!" Zhang Ling patted him on the shoulder, in the whole world, I am afraid that he is the only one who dares to do this.

Zhang Ye couldn't hide his bitterness, his life in the past few years has been lighter in the midst of dire straits, and it is almost the same as a knife mountain and a sea of fire, but he didn't expect his eldest brother to help him solve it as soon as he came.

"Big brother, did you do those dead things?"

Zhang Ling groaned and touched his smooth chin, but his eyes drifted to He Guang to the side, to be honest, most of those people were killed by He Guang.

Zhang Ye laughed a little when he saw him like this, and said softly: "In that case, I'll find a reason to close the case." And ......"

He hesitated for a moment, looked at the Queen Mother who was sitting quietly on the side, and asked in a sullen voice, "How to deal with King Heng's affairs?"

When he said this, he didn't actually ask Zhang Ling, although he looked at Zhang Ling and said it, but what he wanted to ask was the Queen Mother. In any case, the Queen Mother has raised King Heng for nearly 20 years, and it is because King Heng and him have turned against each other, although this time the ice has collapsed, but the existence of King Heng has always been a thorn in his heart, especially after he knew that King Heng was not his brother.

How could the queen mother not know what he was thinking, she was also angry with King Heng in her heart, knowing that King Heng was in one day, and the knot between the emperor and her would be difficult to completely untie one day. Besides, King Heng's mind was vicious, she was confused and couldn't see clearly before, but after thinking about it this time, she found that most of the ideas that King Heng gave her before turned out to be very vicious, and I really don't know why she didn't find out at that time.

Thinking of this, she also felt a little tired, so she said: "The affairs of King Heng should be handled by the emperor himself! Your eldest brother is not a member of the court after all, don't let him get involved in too much of the affairs of the court." But in order to protect the reputation of the Empress Dowager, you should be careful when dealing with it, after all, this is also a matter of the Empress!"

Zhang Ye got the letter of the Queen Mother, and then laughed happily.

"The queen mother can rest assured that the child knows how to do it. ”

"Hmm!" The Queen Mother nodded, then looked at Zhang Ling and asked, "Ling'er, what are your plans next?"

Not......

Zhang Ling groaned for a moment and laughed gently.

"I'm going to go to my master, I haven't seen him in all these years, and I really miss him. ”

The Queen Mother also laughed, she had seen the old man of the South China Sea and knew that it was a strange person. However, according to Zhang Ling's temperament, it is difficult to say whether he really misses the old man of the South China Sea.

The sky on a winter night is cold and clean, dotted with stars, and has a little more purity that is rare in other seasons.

The perfect moon shines on the palace wall, and I don't know if there is still that piece of spiritual grass and spiritual fruit in the South China Sea!

Zhang Ling thought a little itchyly.
