After rebirth, tear the black-hearted husband to pieces and step on the evil mother-in-law

Lin Luoling had heard Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun privately mention the incident of Emperor Deshun becoming emperor once or twice.

But what Lin Tingxu and He Jinchun said was that when Emperor Deshun led his troops to the capital, King Yuxi had already killed the previous emperor and the previous crown prince.

King Yuxi was the seventh younger brother of the previous emperor. After he came of age, he stayed in the capital for two years before going to his fiefdom, Cangling Prefecture.

When Emperor Deshun led his troops into the capital, many high-ranking officials and nobles were beheaded at the gates of their mansions, and the capital was like a purgatory on earth.

Lin Tingxu, who was born in Xuzhou, Beijing, did not know what happened back then, but He Jinchun did. At that time, she said with emotion: "Fortunately, Emperor Deshun led his troops to Beijing in time, otherwise the He family would have been wiped out."

Lin Luoling told Lin Tingxu what she knew.

Lin Tingxu put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Lin Luoling very seriously and said:

"Ling'er, in the past, King Yuxi used the excuse of celebrating the late emperor's birthday as an excuse to secretly order his private soldiers to follow him, and together with Fan Mao, the leader of the Four An generals, they attacked the imperial palace.

It just so happened that the southern and northern borders were unstable, and most of the soldiers were going to the battlefield. But how could the late emperor not leave soldiers near the capital to guard the imperial city?

The former crown prince was not good at riding horses or archery, and his martial arts talent was extremely poor. Our current emperor is both civil and military, and with his foresight, even if he goes to his fiefdom, he must leave one or two spies in the capital to observe every move in the capital.

The question is, when King Yuxi attacked the capital, why did the late emperor only have the imperial guards to guard the imperial city? If the current emperor received a secret report after King Yuxi killed the late emperor and the late crown prince, and led the troops to the capital, it would take more than ten days on horseback.

It was such a coincidence that King Yuxi killed the late emperor and the late crown prince at the beginning of the Shen hour, and the current Majesty led his troops into the capital at the Hai hour and beheaded King Yuxi in front of the gate of the Zhengde Hall. There was only a gap of three or four hours in between.

Normally, the gates of the capital city would be closed at the hour of You, so how did His Majesty manage to lead his troops into the capital without any hindrance?"

After Lin Tingxu finished speaking, he looked at the stunned He Jinchun and Lin Luoling lovingly, smiled, picked up the half cup of tea beside him and took a sip.

Lin Luoling speculated that when Emperor Deshun led his troops into the capital to kill King Yuxi, it might be a plot that Emperor Deshun had set up long ago.

Lin Tingxu sighed and said, "The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. I'm afraid it's impossible to delve into this matter.

It’s just that after the death of the late emperor, the second and third princes, like the late crown prince, were born to the late queen. According to the Tianqi doctrine of establishing the eldest son as the heir, the second prince should have ascended the throne, and it would not have been Your Majesty’s turn. "

He Jinchun said, "At that time, there were rumors in the capital that the Second Prince saw King Yuxi kill the previous emperor and the previous crown prince. He was a decent scholar but knew nothing about leading troops in battle. It was he who recommended the current emperor to the throne."

"Haha..." Lin Tingxu smiled meaningfully, "The previous emperor also couldn't lead troops to fight. Shouldn't the generals lead the troops to fight? Does it mean that the emperor needs to lead the army in person? Has your majesty ever led troops to fight a war since he ascended the throne?"

He Jinchun was speechless...

Therefore, the rumors in Beijing are probably false.

Lin Tingxu continued, "Three months after your majesty ascended the throne, Yizhou was hit by landslides and earthquakes, and countless people were killed. The second and third princes loved calligraphy and painting since they were young, and they asked your majesty for permission to go to provide disaster relief, but they did not bring any troops with them, and were trampled to death by the victims.

When His Majesty learned of this, he was furious and sent the brother of the Concubine to lead troops to bring back the remains of the two princes and bury them in the royal mausoleum. Then His Majesty appointed the brother of the Concubine as the General of Lin'an and ordered him to lead 8,000 troops and set up camp near Dongyang Mountain to guard the capital.

Lin Luoling frowned and asked, "Weren't the two brothers of the late crown prince granted fiefs by the late emperor?"

He Jinchun continued, "They and the late crown prince were both born to the late queen, and they had a very good relationship with the late crown prince. The late emperor did not grant fiefs to the second and third princes, but built mansions for them in the capital, which are now: the Ruiwang Mansion and the Jinwang Mansion.

I guess the late emperor and empress wanted the second and third princes to assist the crown prince in handling court affairs."

"Those two princes have no military power and they don't know martial arts. The reason why the late emperor didn't bother to keep them in the capital was probably because he was confident that they wouldn't have the ability to rebel. Since ancient times, rebels have always been led by military generals. No matter how violent the civil officials are, they can't cause any rebellion." Lin Tingxu added.

Lin Luoling lowered her eyes and pondered it carefully. Through her contacts with the empress dowager in recent days, she was familiar with Prince An, whose temperament was about 50% similar to that of Emperor Deshun. She also heard what her father and mother told her about the events of the past.

She felt that it was very likely that Emperor Deshun had started playing chess after the Empress Dowager was banished to the cold palace.

Emperor Deshun must have known that King Yuxi was going to rebel, and deliberately waited for King Yuxi to kill the previous emperor, the previous crown prince, and the previous queen. Only then did he lead his troops into the capital, and in the name of rescuing the king, he killed King Yuxi, and took advantage of the chaos to kill the second and third princes. Then, with the support of the prime minister and the general, he naturally ascended the throne.

Even if the other princes have opinions, it is too late!

In order to cover up the fact that he had killed the second and third princes, when Yizhou suffered a disaster, he said that the second and third princes were willing to escort grain to Yizhou.

The second and third princes had died long ago. The bodies brought back by Princess Liu's brother were trampled by the victims and must have been unrecognizable, making them difficult to identify.

Emperor Deshun happened to bury the bodies of the second and third princes in the royal mausoleum. In this way, he would not be accused of fratricide. Instead, his subjects would think that he was an emperor who valued feelings, and thus supported him even more.

After Lin Luoling heard Lin Tingxu's story about the deaths of the other princes, her eyelids couldn't help but twitch. They might have died of a serious illness, or fell off a cliff while traveling, or were sent to the northern border by Emperor Deshun and died to fight the enemy.

In the end, of the previous emperor's brothers and sons, only Emperor Deshun was left.

Lin Luoling thought to himself that perhaps Emperor Deshun had witnessed King Yuxi rebelling and killing the previous emperor, so he would not tolerate any other princes.

or...

Lin Luoling just felt that everything Emperor Deshun did was not without reason. Maybe he was playing a big game, but others just couldn't see it clearly.

When her father was an official in the past, he often played chess with Emperor Deshun. His chess skills reflected his character. Perhaps it was because her father saw through the truth that he resigned and returned to Xuzhou. Emperor Deshun allowed her father to be his secret agent in Xuzhou on the grounds of cherishing talent.

Lin Luoling couldn't help but take a deep breath to suppress the shock and fear in her heart.

But Lin Tingxu suddenly said: "It's good that you are taught by the Queen Mother, but your father advises you that even if His Royal Highness Prince An loves you, you must not take advantage of him. He may not care about you once or twice, but the third time, Prince An's sincerity towards you will definitely disappear.

Prince An is not necessarily less cunning than the current Majesty. He was able to control the overall situation today when Your Majesty suddenly came to the Lin Mansion. Your mother and I cannot compare to him.

You were afraid that the noble ladies in the capital would covet the position of Prince An's concubine, so you used Liu Yu to intimidate them. Your idea was right, but you should have told the truth to His Royal Highness Prince An and not played those little tricks with him.

The reason why Concubine Li is so favored by His Majesty is because she is pure, kind and innocent, but such a woman cannot survive in the harem.

You have to understand that the emperor grew up in the palace, what kind of cunning and deceitful schemes have they not seen? The only thing that can move them is the sincerity and pure kindness that they can feel.

Prince An likes you because of your gentleness and kindness, right? If you were a scheming woman, even if you looked exactly like Concubine Li, he would not marry you as his concubine.

The wise emperors are least afraid of people around them playing tricks on them. They will treat those who play tricks as prey, teasing them at first and then swallowing them up like the golden eagles soaring in the sky.

Hearing this, Lin Luoling's eyes suddenly trembled, and he couldn't help asking: "How did father know that I used Liu Yu to intimidate the noble ladies in the capital? Could it be that His Majesty warned father about something?"
