Chapter 109: Ten Years Ago
Lin Zhaoxia heard that Zhao Guangyuan was going to enter the court tomorrow to listen to politics, and he was also happy for him.
"Then you should keep a low profile, don't take the lead in everything, don't take the risk in doing things."
Lin Zhaoxia felt that he still had to save more contacts and relationships, and prepare one or two more in order to hit the target with one hit.
In fact, according to her idea, it is good to take a shade under the big tree, have money and industry, do not worry about eating and drinking, and live your own small life behind closed doors.
But she is not easy to persuade, knowing that he has not been easy all these years, and knowing that he is still trapped in his old dreams, always thinking about seeking justice for his brother and his grandfather's family, and she feels sorry for him, and it is not easy to persuade him.
There's no way, they're all on the thief ship, except for being in the same boat with him through thick and thin, this ship is not easy to get off.
Fortunately in modern times, in Daqi left him, can she live a free life alone or can she wave? Without his protection, I am afraid that I will be eaten and wiped clean.
Moreover, she was reluctant to leave him.
took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, "You eat slowly, it's hard to digest if you eat fast." In the middle of the night, I don't feel like my stomach hurts. ”
Zhao Guangyuan stopped his chopsticks, smiled at her, grabbed her hand and rubbed it on his thigh, and his eating slowed down.
Lin Zhaoxia let him hold his hand, and told him what he did today, what he learned, and how he felt about today's day, Zhao Guangyuan listened carefully, and he didn't feel bored, he wanted to hear everything about her.
Occasionally, I replied to her with a sentence or two. The two chatted at the dinner table, and there was no rule to abide by.
When Zhao Guangyuan finished eating, Lin Zhaoxia thought of something, "By the way, Priest Zhao sent a gift today, saying that it was from the old man to congratulate us on our new marriage." ”
"The old man sent it? Who is it? What to send? ”
Lin Zhaoxia went into the inner room and took out a box and handed it to him.
The slap made of ebony is a large black box, without any ornamentation, and it looks unpretentious. Zhao Guangyuan held the box and looked at it, and then opened it......
Seeing a string of ebony Buddha beads lying on the satin inside, his brows furrowed, and then he looked at the mark on the Buddha's head, his face changed, he snapped the box closed, and threw it on the table casually.
Lin Zhaoxia was taken aback, why did he suddenly get angry.
glanced at the box on the table that was far away from him, and said softly: "What's the matter, shouldn't I accept it?" ”
Seeing that she asked cautiously, Zhao Guangyuan felt distressed for a while. In this Daqi, in this capital, she only has herself. took Lin Zhaoxia into his arms and stroked her back, "It's none of your business." ”
"Then why are you suddenly angry?"
Seeing him gritting his teeth, he stared hatefully at the box containing the Buddha beads, "That person, is it the enemy?" ”
Zhao Guangyuan closed his eyes, "No." When she opened her eyes, she looked like she was breaking the casserole and asking to the end, and she endured it again and again, before she squeezed out a sentence, "It was sent by a bald donkey." There was resentment in his voice.
Bald donkey? "Is it a monk?"
"Hmm."
"Why did the monk provoke you?"
“…… He ruined my family! ”
Lin Zhaoxia's eyes widened. Pull a little out of his arms and look at him. He opened his mouth and closed it again.
The old things from ten years ago, when he mentioned them again, he was afraid that there would still be blood in his heart. "It's late at night, you have to get up early tomorrow to go to the court, or go home first."
Zhao Guangyuan also knew that she was afraid that she would be sad and didn't want to ask more. But this matter was brought up, but it couldn't be suppressed, and suddenly there was a desire to tell. The pain buried in his heart has been too long, and it has weighed him down for too long, and he wants to find someone to talk to.
Pulled her into the inner room, settled her on the bed, and sat down against the head of the bed again, one leg half propped on the bed, his eyes were not focused, "Eleven years ago......"
Eleven years ago, since the end of autumn, Daqi has had a continuous stream of major disasters and small disasters, thousands of miles of red land, and the people are struggling to make a living. The imperial court was busy providing disaster relief and soothing the people, and it was overwhelmed. The food sent to the Nine Border Barracks was not supplied. The soldiers fought hungry, and soon there was a mutiny in the army.
Although the 300,000 troops in Hangu Pass were pressed by Lu Guogong, the soldiers did not want to fight hungry.
The soldiers were passive and slacking off their work, and the aliens outside the customs were looking at them and delaying, wanting to take advantage of the civil strife in Daqi to raise troops to attack. Lu Guogong had no choice, so he had to buy food from elsewhere with his own money, so that the soldiers could barely fill their stomachs.
As a result, as soon as the domestic disaster subsided, Lu Guogong was impeached.
It is said that his grain was purchased from outside the border, that he colluded with other races outside the border, and that he collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. also said that he was greedy for the Mo army and secretly hid the spoils of war. Emperor Zhizheng issued a holy decree to urgently summon the father and son of the Lu family to return to Beijing.
Lu Guogong and his son had just returned to the capital, and they were only asking as usual, and the matter was not clear, and they had not yet been convicted. As a result, the prince had another accident.
Before the outbreak of the prince's disaster relief, the prison guards stole themselves, the disaster relief silver was stolen, the officials under his hands were greedy for ink, and the prince was ineffective in treatment, resulting in a large number of casualties. Emperor Zhizheng relieved the prince of his errand and locked him in the East Palace.
Seeing that the prince was losing power, the court stepped on the prince more and more.
said that he was unworthy of being the prince, and asked the emperor to abolish the crown prince. But the prince was named the prince when he was young, and he has been the prince for more than ten years, and he has been helping to take care of political affairs all these years, and he is very diligent, and the emperor does not intend to abolish the prince, and he suppressed the voice of the court.
When he went to the Taimiao Temple to worship his ancestors, the emperor asked the high priest Zhao Gang if the prince could be the king.
Zhao Gang told the emperor about the criticism of the prince of Zhiyuan, in order to protect the prince and avoid turmoil in the government and the opposition, he couldn't help but exaggerate, saying that the prince is the destiny of heaven, and in the future, the blue is better than the blue, and he is a rare prosperous monarch in a century.
I don't want these words to be leaked out, and it will cause trouble to the prince.
The courtiers who have already offended the prince and Lu Guogong ruthlessly, and they don't want the prince to turn over and liquidate them in the future. He collected all kinds of charges and wanted to pull down the prince.
Several charges were fabricated for the crown prince.
I also knew that the emperor was jealous of Lu Guogong, worried that he would be a master, and that the prince would have such a powerful relative in the future, and he was afraid that he would become a puppet of the Lu family in the future.
Because Lu Guogong's father and son have been recalled to Beijing for questioning, the prince has been imprisoned, and other ministers who are close to the prince have either been locked up and questioned, or they dare not speak out, and for a while the prince and Lu Guogong had no one to help.
Later, the prince's private dragon robe was found in the East Palace, and the prince was first locked and taken to Dali Temple to ask for guilt, and then found his letter of collaborating with the enemy in the mansion of Lu Guogong, which further confirmed the disobedience of the two of them.
“…… Knowing that his grandfather's family was given death, the emperor's brother sent someone to rob the prison, he wanted to save his grandfather's family, but he didn't want to get out of the inner ghost, so he was ambushed by his father...... The royal brother has one more sin...... Later, the grandfather's family died unjustly, the East Palace caught fire, and the imperial sister-in-law, Zhi'er and several concubines of the imperial brother died in the fire overnight...... They also said that they committed suicide in fear of sin......"
Zhao Guangyuan pressed his chest, almost out of breath.
"Yan'er, who I desperately saved from the fire, also died of a sudden illness in the palace a few days later...... The royal brother was disheartened and died in prison the next day, and the queen mother also went with me to protect me......"
Lin Zhaoxia was stunned.
She'd heard him say something before, but he didn't know it in detail, and she didn't want it to be like this.
The battle for imperial power is indeed a sea of corpses and blood.
There was only one dragon chair, but everyone wanted it.
I want him to stay away from that position and secretly poke and poke his little life. But seeing him pressing his chest, suppressing the low cry of pain, Lin Zhaoxia's heart was also split in half.
hugged him and kept reassuring, "It's okay, it's okay, you still have me......" The language was pale and weak.
Seeing him shrug his shoulders and cry bitterly in his arms, tears also fell.
, it!
What's a big deal, isn't it just a dragon chair, and I have to grab it for him to sit on. It's a big deal. I'm afraid of a ball, and we'll be a good man again in eighteen years!
