Chapter 35: The Spy in the Deep Palace

Hua Chong was wondering all the way who this traverser was, the King of Xiangyang, the King of the Eight Sages, or the Emperor Renzong? It seems that everyone is possible, but everyone is a little unlikely. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

If it was the King of Xiangyang, Hua Chong would have traveled for ten years, and the King of Xiangyang should have come for ten years, ten years, enough time for him to succeed in his rebellion, why did he only start acting recently? If it was the King of the Eight Sages, he could have killed Chen Lin and the future Emperor Renzong back then, and let Concubine Liu complete the incident of changing the tanuki for the prince, so that Emperor Zhenzong had no children, and could only pass the parents of the Eight Sages King to his own name and become the official prince. If it was Emperor Renzong, there was no reason for him to send someone to get rid of Concubine Li, his biological mother.

If none of these people are traversers, then the traversers must be hidden behind them, so that the identity of this person is extremely difficult to determine, and they can only be discovered slowly.

Hua Chong was in this cranky thinking, and returned to Bianliang, Tokyo in a daze. He didn't have time to see Pang Feiyan, and as soon as he arrived in Beijing, he followed Bao Zheng into the palace to face the saint. And Concubine Li and others led the four catchers and the four warriors to support them, waiting for the emperor to summon them.

When facing the saint, Bao Zheng first reported the matter of Chenzhou, especially the part related to the king of Xiangyang, and then mentioned the matter of Hua Chong sending someone to rescue Concubine Li.

Emperor Renzong only knew that Concubine Li gave birth to a skinless civet cat, and then the cold palace caught fire and died in the palace, and he didn't know that he was Concubine Li's own son, and only listened to Concubine Li's story as a strange anecdote. After hearing it, I realized that I was actually born to Concubine Li, and I was not raised from the Eight Kings, so I was shocked, and pointed at Bao Zheng and Hua Chong and said, "You two don't bully the king!"

The two hurriedly knelt down, Hua Chong knew the details in the end, and he was more confident, and kowtowed to the emperor and said: "This matter is not nonsense, Concubine Li has the golden pill left by the emperor as evidence, and the eight kings of the Southern Qing Palace, Chitose and Princess Di can be witnessed, and the head of the inner government, Chen Lin, has experienced this matter, and he will know what is going on when he asks." ”

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he hurriedly summoned Chen Lin to come, and when Chen Lin saw that he had finished driving, Renzong asked him where he came from. This Chen Lin was originally the capital of the Eight Princes' Mansion, when the tanuki changed the prince, Concubine Liu sent the imperial inheritance Kou Zhu to kill the prince, Kou Zhu couldn't bear it, just when Chen Lin entered the palace to do business, and was about to leave the palace, Kou Zhu begged him to take the prince out of the palace.

At present, Chen Lin saw that the Son of Heaven asked him about his origin, and there were Bao Zheng and Hua Chong beside him, and he was not shy about it, and he was also taken aback in his heart, and secretly said that it was difficult for anyone to know about this matter, so it was impossible for these two people to get any clues, if they didn't tell the truth, they were afraid that the Son of Heaven would not follow, and this matter had passed for so many years, now that the Son of Heaven was in power, Concubine Liu had already retired for the elderly, although Guo Huai had real power, after all, he was just a eunuch, since the emperor already knew, he would simply tell the truth.

So Chen Lin told Concubine Liu how to assassinate Concubine Li with Guo Huai, exchange the tanuki for the prince, send Kou Zhu to abandon the Son of Heaven, and how he rescued the prince and sent him to the Nanqing Palace. Later, Concubine Liu's son died early, and the first emperor wanted to succeed the son of the eighth king as the East Palace, and happened to pick the prince who was taken away by Chen Lin that year.

And the prince entered the palace, but it made Concubine Liu feel puzzled, firstly, the son of heaven was born on the same day as Concubine Li's son, and secondly, he looked very much like the first emperor, this matter should be strange, so he scolded Kou Zhu, Kou Zhu killed himself, Concubine Liu was still not at ease, and sent Guo Huai to secretly set fire to the cold palace, intending to burn Concubine Li, but was discovered by Qin Feng, the palace person, and secretly let Concubine Li go, but Concubine Li's whereabouts are unknown.

After hearing this, Emperor Renzong knew that what Bao Zheng and Hua Chong said was definitely not false, so he asked Concubine Li to enter the palace, and ordered to invite the eight princes and his wife to the palace for a dinner.

The eight kings and their wives didn't know what they meant, and when they came to the palace, they saw that Hua Chong and Bao Zheng were there, but they only found that there was a blind lady present, and Hua Chong was waiting.

At this time, Concubine Li is no longer the poor clothes, she is the imperial concubine of the previous dynasty, she naturally has a noble temperament, and with the clothes that fit, although it is unclear, it is also extraordinary.

Everyone sat down, and Hua Chong Yungong used the method of transmitting sound into the secret, and said to Concubine Li: "Opposite you are the Eight Kings Chitose and Concubine Di. ”

When Concubine Li heard this, although she couldn't see it, she nodded at the eight princes and his wife: "Brother and sister-in-law, don't you recognize the mourning family?"

The Eight Kings and their wives were stunned when they heard this, but Concubine Di and Concubine Li had more contact, and after carefully looking at it for a while, they said unconsciously: "You...... Are you ....... ...... Is it Concubine Li of Yuchen Palace back then?"

Hua Chong handed Concubine Li's token - a gold pill given to Concubine Li by the first emperor in front of the eight kings and his wife, and the eight kings dodged it, only to see that the projectile read: Yuchen Palace Concubine Li five characters. The Eight Kings sighed: "Sure enough, it's your ......"

Concubine Di on the side was already crying, and said sadly: "Niangniang, you are really fine." ”

Zhao Defang, the king of the Eight Sages, prostrate on the ground, and said to Emperor Renzong in a trembling voice: "Long live, forgive the old minister for bullying the king for many years, and the minister is guilty of capital crimes,,,,"

The emperor hurriedly got up and personally picked up the eight kings: "You have raised me for many years, I should be grateful, how can I be guilty of bullying the king." ”

Picking up the eight kings, Emperor Renzong turned around and knelt down to Concubine Li Niangniang and saluted: "The child is not filial, so the queen mother suffers!"

On the side, there were already flowers rushing forward to help Concubine Li get up, touched Emperor Renzong, picked it up, mother and son hugged their heads and cried, Concubine Li Niangniang intermittently, crying about the previous situation.

Everyone present, seeing this scene, and listening to what Concubine Li has experienced over the years, all cried, and even Hua Chong, a person who had been through the drama many years ago, also had some moist eyes.

Concubine Li said that the past was over, Emperor Renzong stained his tears, and said to Concubine Li: "Queen Mother, you return to the palace today, you don't have to be wronged anymore, I will send someone tomorrow, not immediately, and send the imperial doctor to treat your eye disease." ”

Concubine Li shook her head: "Long live, my eye disease is caused by thinking about old things and crying every time, it has been several years, not bad for this day and a half, there is something more important than this now, you have to do it first." ”

Renzong nodded and said, "Queen Mother, you have suffered a lot because of me, and what you have commanded me will be played!"

Concubine Li nodded: "It's rare to have filial piety, and there are three things about the mourning family, and I want you to rely on me." ”

Renzong said: "It's three hundred, I also agreed, but the queen mother said it was okay." ”

"The first thing, Fan Ronghua and his son treat me like a relative, begging for food for a living, even if I am hungry, I have to leave me a bite to eat, you have to reward him heavily to repay this kindness. ”

"Okay, I promise, come to someone, and quickly pass on Fan Ronghua to meet you! I want to reward this person generously!"

"If it weren't for the secret visit of the flower guards, and the two masters and Huashan Jiuyun Shenni came to the rescue, you and my mother and son would have no chance to see each other again, and you would have to reward these people heavily!"

Hua Chongxin said: "Ouye, it's done! Bao Zheng won the title of prime minister by virtue of this merit, hehe, do I have to be a general?"

Emperor Renzong still agreed, and said to Hua Chong: "I will seal these people, and Hua Chong will listen to the seal!"

Hua Chong was thinking about it when he was startled by this sound, and quickly knelt down: "Chen Hua Chong took the order!"

"I have sealed you with the rank of first-class general, and you are still in charge of Kaifeng Mansion and the commander of the school captain's office!"

"The minister bows and thanks Your Majesty for the grace! It's just that the family teacher and the Jiuyun master are both outsiders, so this official position doesn't need to be sealed, and the two masters of the previous minister also mentioned to me that saving the mother of the country is the duty of my Great Song Dynasty people, how can I hope to repay them? Moreover, both of them are lazy idlers, and they are old and do not want to be officials. ”

"In this case, I will personally give each person a chivalrous gold medal, and even give a gold plaque to each of the small Penglai Bixia Palace and Huashan Chuchen Nunnery, a hundred quintals of grain and rice, and a thousand taels of gold and silver. ”

Concubine Li said on the side: "Not enough!"

Emperor Renzong was stunned: "Not enough?"

"That's right, since the master doesn't want to be an official, what's the use of an apprentice just being a first-class title?"

"Eh, then I will add Hua Chong as the prince and young master!"

"The minister bows and thanks my emperor for ......"

"Not enough!"

"It's not enough...... I will again crown you as the deputy commander of the Governor of the Five Armies, and you are still serving in the Kaifeng Mansion, the matter of the Governor's Captain!"

"Thank you, Lord Longen, my emperor ......"

"It's not enough! not even a knighthood shows much merit?"

"Hua Chong, I will crown you as the Duke of Jing Guo! But the three-year things I have explained to you still have to be counted! Don't be lazy!"

"Thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" At this moment, Hua Chong lowered his head, leaned over and saluted, and didn't dare to raise his head anymore, because he had already smiled at this moment. Haha! I'm the biggest in Kaifeng Mansion, Bao Zheng is just a prefect at this time, I'm a first-class member! I also got a knighthood! Young master, my father-in-law is a master, this time I can be regarded as famous in the world!

The reward has been completed, Concubine Li continued: "This third thing is that I want to avenge the mourning family, if it weren't for Concubine Liu and Guo Huai's traitors who hurt me back then, how could there be so many twists and turns, I must avenge this revenge and mourning family!"

Renzong nodded: "Someone! Bring Guo Huai and Empress Dowager Liu! I want to interrogate you face to face!"

Chen Lin personally led several eunuchs and beckoned the forbidden army to go straight to the queen mother's bedroom. It took nearly half an hour before he returned. Seeing this, Hua Chong had a premonition.

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Lin entered the house, he bowed to the ground: "The minister has a long life trust!"

Renzong wondered, "What's wrong?"

Chen Lin replied tremblingly: "Long live Hui, Guo Huai and Concubine Liu all committed suicide in fear of crime!"

Renzong hated: "It's a pity that they are cheaper!"

Concubine Li sighed and said: "That's it, people don't make enemies when they die, and the mourning family will be satisfied when they hear the news of the death of these two people in their lifetime." Since they committed suicide in fear of sin, the mourning family will not pursue it. ”

"Wait!" everyone looked at the voice, and it was Hua Chong who answered.

Emperor Renzong looked at Hua Chong with some dissatisfaction: "Hua Aiqing, what do you mean by waiting?"

Hua Chong hurriedly said: "Long live forgiveness, Wei Chen saw that the Queen Mother said that he would not pursue it again, I am afraid that long live your golden words and pass on the holy decree, there will be trouble." ”

Renzong frowned and said, "Is there anything wrong with saying that the queen mother will no longer pursue it?"

"The Queen Mother is benevolent, there is nothing wrong with it, but this matter is a little strange, and the original minister was a little puzzled, but now he has a clue. ”

Renzong wondered, "What is the matter with the Qing family, and what do you understand at this moment?"

Hua Chong smiled slightly: "Long live, do you remember that you said that you had a spy of the King of Xiangyang by your side?"
