Master Lin of the Red Chamber

Lin Qing thought well, but he couldn't hold back the things in this world, and he just didn't develop in the way you imagined, and always gave you something unexpected.

Just the night before Lin Qing packed up his bags and was leaving, the death knell in the capital rang nine times. The old emperor, who had been on the bed for several days, finally passed away without holding on.

The old emperor's illness came too suddenly, and he never had a crown prince before his death. He was lying on the bed in a daze for the past few days, and he didn't wake up until the moment of his death. Naturally, he didn't make a will.

That's all, but unfortunately, the old emperor died at night. When most people fell into a deep sleep, even if they were awakened by the death knell, they wanted to pack up and rush to the imperial city from home. It also takes a lot of time.

But what is needed most now is time. After the ministers in the court wake up, they all pray in their hearts while putting on their clothes, so that those princes will not make any troubles.

But such a whimsical daydream would naturally not come true, and not only would it not come true, when they were just woken up, those princes had already moved.

Unlike the ministers in the court who can still sleep, these princes, how can they sleep so peacefully for the throne, and they all have their own eyeliner and confidantes in the palace, and they have been notified long before the death knell arrive.

Although the old emperor has always controlled the military power, several princes, including the most favored but abolished crown prince, have no chance to contact, but the time when the old emperor is critically ill is enough.

Either by coaxing or luring, the several emperors have accumulated some armed forces, which are not comparable to the [-] forbidden troops in the palace, but when the dragons have no leader, the forbidden troops can only stay on the sidelines and watch.

There is no other way. The old emperor is dead and has not left any will. They have no loyal master, and they are facing several princes. They are all quite powerful in the court and have grown up. Prince, what can they do.

But to everyone's surprise, it was not the princes who were the first to react and take action, but His Royal Highness Huangsun Chen. What was even more unexpected was that this His Royal Highness unconsciously Win over a deputy commander in the forbidden army.

While the other commanders of the forbidden army were watching, they directly led the people to drive those princes to the imperial city. The princes who wanted to do something made dumplings for them, and did not give other people any time to react, so they directly sent those princes to the imperial city. It was taken down.

The most shocking thing is that when everyone thought that the emperor's grandson would ascend to the throne unexpectedly and do some things like compromise interests, His Royal Highness Chen killed those princes in a frenzy up.

Even the deputy commander who followed His Royal Highness Prince Chen didn't think of this, and he didn't have time to react, because this His Royal Highness killed someone with his own hands, and he didn't even have a chance to stop him.

In fact, if King Chen didn't do this, he still had a chance to ascend to the throne, although he might not be able to sit firmly, and he would be overthrown in a few days, and he would not get the support of the ministers.

But if he killed the other princes in this breath, he was asking for a dead end, not to mention the commanders of the Imperial Guard who had stood by and watched, even the deputy commander who was with him, if it weren't for him He has become a grasshopper in a line, and they all want to tie this one up directly.

Although the royal family has no family ties, it is normal for blood to flow in rivers when the throne is changed in successive dynasties. Even when the first emperor ascended the throne, he did not know how many brothers he killed.

But what kind of situation was that, and what kind of situation is it now, is it the same concept to kill when one's foundation is not stable, and to kill when one is already firmly seated on the throne?

The latter is called cutting the weeds and eradicating the roots to become kings and losers, while the former is simply frenzied and desperate, but unfortunately, His Royal Highness Chen Wang, who looks like everything is normal, just made this crazy move.

The final result, of course, needless to say, His Royal Highness Chen Wang was detained by the commander of the imperial army, and the fourth prince who came after him became the final winner just like a joke.

When the old ministers in the court heard the whole incident, they all felt stunned, and some smart ones were even more keenly aware of what had happened from the drama-like incident here.

For example, why did His Royal Highness Prince Chen kill those princes all at once, and why did the fourth prince come by such a coincidence, never coming sooner or later, but arriving at the most critical time.

If the luck of the fourth prince is so good, as for being suppressed by the emperor for decades, it is difficult to achieve his ambitions, he has made so many contributions and done so many things, and he is still just a county king until now.

However, the ministers in the DPRK are all smarter and understand the principle of seeing through but not revealing. Now that the dust has settled, it is meaningless to investigate whether there is any conspiracy in it.

Even the henchmen of the other princes wisely did not question the fourth prince, but only asked that His Royal Highness Chen Wang be severely punished to avenge his master.

Although the fourth prince was not favored by the late emperor and always seemed relatively weak in the court, he had done so many hard jobs in the court, and naturally he had accumulated some family wealth.

It's just that it doesn't show up on weekdays, but at the critical moment, the ministers in the court discovered that the foundation of the fourth prince was no worse than that of the other princes, and even faintly surpassed it.

Although there is no imperial decree from the emperor, among the older princes, except for the fourth prince, all of them are almost dead, and there is no other choice now, so the older emperor can't be allowed to support the young master.

Some ambitious ministers thought so, but the fourth prince is capable if he can't hold back, so after the old emperor's funeral, the once oppressed fourth prince ascended the throne unexpectedly.

The new emperor's accession to the throne naturally intends to amnesty the world, but His Royal Highness Chen Wang, who has killed several princes in a row, is impossible to be included in the amnesty list, even if the emperor wants to do this, he cannot do it .

As the grandson of the emperor and the prince, even if the king of Chen committed a serious crime, he was still imprisoned in the clan's mansion, and he was personally ordered by the chief executive next to the emperor, so no one dared to despise his highness.

Even the old minions of those princes were only courting, asking for the severe punishment of the prince, and they did not dare to make trouble in private, because most smart people knew in their hearts that the choreographer and director behind this big drama.

For some unknown reason, Lin Qing hesitated again and again, and still used the hard-won invisibility talisman to go to the prison of the clan mansion, but he did not show up, but just watched silently.

Although he and Lin Xian have been getting along well and their relationship is delicate, there is one thing Lin Qing can be sure of, that is, no one in this world can let him reveal the secrets of the system.

Contrary to Lin Qing's expectations, Lin Xian's stay in the prison of the Zong Mansion can be regarded as leisurely. The layout of the prison is exactly the same as that of the upper rooms in the inns outside.

Of course, if you insist on comparing it with the bedroom in the original palace, then no one can do anything about it. A prison is a prison after all, even if you give preferential treatment, it is impossible to go too far, and there is no such capital.

Looking at Lin Xian who was sitting on a soft stool with a book in his hand and many candles lit in the room, his expression seemed extremely calm, Lin Qing was silent for a long time, but in the end he didn't say a word.

He knew that Lin Xian had also told him about his wish, and now that his wish had been fulfilled, this look of no regrets seemed normal, and even the parties involved were like this, it seemed that he shouldn't say anything.

But I don't know why, seeing Lin Xian like this, Lin Qing always felt a little sore in his heart, would he really have no regrets after revenge, but to be honest, what relationship do those people have with Lin Xian?

The effectiveness of the invisibility talisman is only two hours. After all, Lin Qing didn't see through Lin Xian's heart. Maybe even Lin Xian didn't know what he was thinking. Humans are the most complicated animals in the world.

One month after the new emperor ascended the throne, Lin Xian, who had been imprisoned in the clan's mansion for two full months, finally got a glass of poisoned wine. After drinking this glass of wine, what kind of mood did Lin Xian feel? And know.

At this time, he had already returned to the academy early, although he knew that Lin Xian would not live long and did not want to leave at that moment, but in order to clear the relationship and for the Lin family, he still had to leave.

The restaurant he opened for Lin Xian at the beginning to collect information, after Lin Xian was imprisoned in the clan mansion, he had already imprisoned him, because he didn't know that the fourth prince was a pawn to Lin Xian. what senses.

Of course he himself is not afraid of anything, he can hide in the mountains when he is in a hurry, and come out after a different dynasty, but Lin Ruhai and Sister Lin can't, and even if he doesn't care about his family, he doesn't care about Lin Ruhai and his sister Lin. Be nice to him.

For my own consideration, I also need to take into account the feelings of the system, right? Sister Lin, the protagonist of this world, is related to the luck of the world and his future.

In fact, Lin Qing is very fortunate now, he had already made a trick on Lin Xian, so that the other party could not disclose his affairs to others, especially the fourth prince, no matter what, no matter when.

Otherwise, he really didn't know if his current life, the current life of the Lin family would be so peaceful.

You know, the new emperor has only been enthroned for more than a month, and there are countless ministers in the court who have had their homes ransacked and their families wiped out. It can be said that Caishikou kills a few people every day.

Naturally, it is used in the name of corruption and breaking the law. Nine out of ten of the officials standing in the court today are corrupt officials.

The academy that Lin Qing went to was not very far from the capital, but when the news came that Lin Xian was doused to death by a cup of poisoned wine, it was only a day later.

He couldn't tell what kind of mood he was in, but Lin Qing was inexplicably annoyed when he heard the classmates around him discussing this matter. Although these people all evaluated this matter objectively, they didn't say anything bad about Lin Xian.

But Lin Qing just felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he found an excuse and went back to his room, recalling the scene when he met Lin Xian in these years, he couldn't help pouring himself a glass of wine.

Sadness is out of the question. When he and Lin Xian first met, it was not a good atmosphere. It is not an exaggeration to say that they were enemies. Even if the relationship got better later, they mostly used each other. How can they be sad if they have no feelings.

It's just that after being together for several years, one of them suddenly disappeared, and it disappeared completely, so naturally the mood would not be any better.

Sitting by the window, quietly looking at the green trees that have sprouted outside, it is already another year of spring, and in the blink of an eye, he has been here for more than ten years.

But to him, everything here still seems like a dream, everything seems so unreal, even the warmest feelings seem to be separated by a layer of veil.

Since practicing, this ordinary wine can no longer get drunk, but the wine is not intoxicating, maybe it is because of wanting to get drunk, Lin Qing gradually felt that his eyes became hazy .

I thought it had been buried in the bottom of my heart, a clean figure suddenly reappeared, even though I hadn't seen it for several years, it still seemed so clear, standing there as usual.

Couldn't help reaching out to touch it, but before touching it, the figure had disappeared without a trace. Withdrawing the outstretched hand, Lin Qing looked at the empty place with some regret, and a trace of bitterness flashed in his eyes. .

On the battlefield, life and death are shared, and the hand in hand in times of adversity is unforgettable. He thought that such emotions should not exist, and there is absolutely no possibility between them.

But when the invitation for the wedding banquet was sent to him by his subordinates, he still felt his whole body was frozen. That's right, the day before Lin Xian was poisoned to death, Fang Zheng's wedding invitation The post was delivered to him.

Ever since Lin Ruhai arranged their marriage for him, he knew that this day would come sooner or later. He was ten years younger than Fang Zheng, and he had already reached the age of engagement, let alone Fang Zheng now.

The other party is getting married at this time, not to mention in ancient times, even in modern times, it is not too early, but this fact that has been expected, when it really happens, it still makes people's hearts tear pain.

To be honest, Lin Qing really felt that he was a little ridiculous, he avoided it like that back then, and even would rather not see each other for a few years, and wanted to break up this undeserved relationship, but now, he felt heartache again, this is not hypocrisy.

But no matter how painful his heart was, Lin Qing never regretted it. He knew that this was always the best choice for both him and Fang Zheng.
