According to the situation of the country

Since the founding of the country for more than 700 years, it has never suffered such a great humiliation. In March of the 17th year of Emperor Chongde, the current emperor Lin Jin died in the Zhou Kingdom.

King Yong was assassinated in Xiaozhou Town and nearly died.Although the situation was very dangerous, Lin Xuan still wanted to wait for Lin Jin in Xiaozhou Town, but the Empress Dowager ordered him to return to Beijing quickly and not allow him to stay any longer.In desperation, Lin Xuan was escorted back to Beijing by the Imperial Forest Army to preside over the government.One and a half months later, there came the sad news that Lin Jin passed away. Ji Muzhi returned to Beijing with the emperor's body.

"Second brother, are you okay...are you?" Lin Xuan was dressed in snow-white mourning clothes and knelt on the ground to watch the coffin. He couldn't eat during the coffin period, and Lin Xuan became even thinner, like a green bamboo in a garden.The whole room was full of ministers dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, kneeling silently. Now that they knew the truth, the ministers looked at King Yong with admiration.The emperor left in the state of Zhou. Obviously, it was the plan of the state of Zhou to kill the prince and plunge Zhao state into chaos.

Lin Xuan patted Jiang Lingyue's hand to reassure him, even though his eyes were swollen because he secretly cried in the house, his eye circles were blue because he hadn't slept for several nights, and his lips were white because he was overwhelmed by grief. It is more clear that now is not the time for him to be vulnerable.Numbly, he stretched out his hand to add another handful of paper money to the brazier, and the orange flame quickly licked it up and turned into ashes. "My lord, I'd like to see you first from the imperial hospital." Chang An hurried into the main hall and said next to Lin Xuan.

"En." Lin Xuan stared blankly at the brazier and nodded.The head of the Imperial Hospital saluted respectfully, wearing the same white mourning uniform as the ministers, "Go back to the prince, the empress dowager fainted recently because she was too sad, but she is too old to be stimulated. The minister has given the empress dowager The Empress Dowager prescribed some sedatives, and the Imperial Hospital will take care of them in shifts, please rest assured." Lin Xuan turned to look at him, and after a while, he opened his eyes so sharply that the chief of the Imperial Hospital was sweating, "You will take care of him with all your heart, and there will be no mistakes. , go down."

Suddenly there was a quarrel outside the silent hall, Lin Xuan looked out the door and asked: "Chang An, why is it so noisy outside, is there anyone in this palace who doesn't know where this is?" Lin Xuan sternly reprimanded, Chang An quickly apologized Trot out to check.Not long after, he came in with a look of embarrassment on his face, "What's the matter?" Chang An looked at the ministers around him and hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's... Concubine Yi..."

"What's wrong with Concubine Yi?" Lin Xuan asked, thinking of the child in Concubine Yi's stomach, he felt his heart tighten. "She was clamoring to come in..."

Everyone whispered when they heard it, Prime Minister Zuo even said: "This is a place for the emperor's leader. It's good for ladies to stay in the side hall next door. Don't break the etiquette." Keeping spirits at night has always been a man's business, women's Not qualified to stand here.Lin Xuan ignored Prime Minister Zuo and continued to ask, "What can Concubine Yi say?"

"She wants to see the prince and the ministers." Chang An replied.Lin Xuan thought for a moment, "Let her in." Concubine Yi was dressed in mourning clothes, with a white hairpin on her head, and her belly was obviously protruding. The eunuch helped her into the palace, nodded slightly and said, "Seeing that Uncle Wang and the ministers are concubines here. I feel more at ease," said and twitched, "The emperor hasn't seen his child and now... [Abandoning our mother and child, the child will be born in four months, the concubine will speak here first, this child If you don’t ascend the throne in the future, you will have to rely on the prince for all affairs in the court. When the emperor was alive, he said that the prince was his own brother and he raised him. After the eldest brother becomes a father, please ask the prince to think of your nephew more... woo woo Ugh..." He started crying again.The ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, the emperor's bones were not cold yet, concubine Yi was coming to separate the family and take her rightful place?It's outrageous... The ministers who can see through the current situation admire this woman's mind. If you don't retreat at this time, it is almost hopeless to make your child the emperor with this woman's background. If there is no expert advice Admire her resourcefulness and courage.

"Come on that chair, let Concubine Yi sit properly." Lin Xuan stood up and walked to Concubine Yi, and said lightly, "Sister-in-law Huang, what's the matter? I have to let my nephew sit on the throne, as I said before, the king is not interested in this throne, after today's setbacks, Lin Xuan is disheartened and just wants to go back to the fief to cultivate." Concubine Yi felt in her heart when she heard Lin Xuan say so. He was very happy but didn't show it on his face, he seemed to regret and said: "Since this is Uncle Wang's thoughts, I should discuss it with the ministers. I can't decide what to do if I am a concubine, I can only rely on the ministers."

Jiang Lingyue remained silent all this time, silently observing Yifei's actions and also watching Lin Xuan's reaction, Lin Xuan didn't seem to be surprised on the surface, but based on his understanding of Lin Xuan, he must be very nauseated at this time.Lin Xuan nodded noblely, "It must be a result that satisfies everyone, or I, Lin Xuan, are not interested in the throne. However, Concubine Yi is now determined to be the prince?"

As soon as this remark came out, the ministers were all dumbfounded, full of inner drama.Everyone spoke out to express their enthusiasm for King Yong's presiding over the government. Of course, there were a small number of people who thought that the throne should be passed on to the unborn little prince, and of course it might be the little princess.Now Zhaoguo is in a precarious situation and cannot stand any further changes.If the throne is passed to an infant child, in whose hands will the power be held?The ministers are not stupid, even if King Yong himself is not willing to become the empress dowager, he will force him to submit. Wouldn't it be worse if he was confused and stood in the wrong team today?Thinking of this, the ministers knelt even harder and begged the prince to take charge of the overall situation. I don't know who cried out first, and they cried loudly, even louder than Concubine Yi just cried, "Oh, your majesty, open your eyes and see. Your lord, he's going to put down the stall right now, and don't want us old ministers anymore! Woooooo! Ah! Woooooooooo!" The hall was full of crying, and Lin Xuan, Jiang Lingyue and Ji Muzhi stood there for a long time Did not respond.

"Kneel down to the nave! Is this a noisy place?" Lin Xuan coaxed all the ministers to the nave to guard the coffin, "Marquis of Dingbei, and Tai Tuo, too." The noisy hall returned to silence, the three of them exchanged glances after a glance, Lin Xuan said, "Teacher, you brought it here, let's have a test."

"When I met the emperor in Zhou State, he was already very weak, but who would have thought that he walked so fast, it really made people wonder if someone in Zhou State had poisoned him. The emperor's health must be said to be good before. When he collapsed, his body was extremely weak, without any signs of poisoning, and he kept bleeding from the nose. I invited the most famous doctor in the Zhou Dynasty and the imperial doctor we brought didn't find out the cause." Ji Muzhi said silently. Find out what's on his mind.Lin Xuan waved his hand and said, "Teacher Ji doesn't need to say much, I also want to know the cause of the emperor's brother's death, the emperor's grandmother has her own opinion, and so do the ministers. It alarmed the emperor. Taifu Ji, brother Ling, please come and supervise, I... evade first." Lin Xuan quickly walked around behind the screen in the main hall.Three days later, Lin Xuan gave up on this idea, and the experts recruited by Ji Taifu were helpless until Lin Jin was sent to the imperial tomb.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Lingyue and Ji Muzhi were kneeling behind Lin Xuan in the hall. Lin Xuan suddenly said, "Teacher Ji, you never told me what happened after you arrived in Zhou Kingdom." Ji Muzhi After returning to the capital, the Empress Dowager fell ill, and the emperor's funeral was one item after another. What was even more frightening was that Lin Xuan never dared to face Lin Jin's death.Ji Muzhi fell into deep thought, and slowly said: "The envoys of the Zhou Kingdom took us to live in their nearby palace, and the king of Zhou summoned us three days later. At the palace banquet, I brought the emperor back to the country, and he also readily said that he would let me meet now. Your Majesty, and said that you can take the Emperor with you after the banquet. It’s just that the Emperor is weak and coughing badly, and his face is pale. I asked Emperor Zhou Yanqing if he was sick, and he replied that he had invited the imperial doctor in the palace to look at it all, but no one said anything. I figured out what happened, maybe it was because the climate was not acclimatized. At that time, the old minister just wanted to take the emperor to leave the state of Zhou as soon as possible to avoid further changes, and wait until the boundaries of the state of Zhao were recuperated. Unexpectedly, the emperor was bedridden the next day and was so anxious. I hurriedly asked the imperial doctor who followed me to see it, but he didn't see the name. I asked the emperor and said that I felt uncomfortable and weak. It seemed that thousands of ants were biting my whole body. I wondered if I was poisoned, but I still didn't find it. Many doctors said that it was definitely not poisoning. On the third day, the emperor began to have nosebleeds, and his eye sockets were sunken... The old minister wanted to take the emperor to leave the state of Zhou, but the emperor could not walk, let alone the exhaustion of the horses and horses. Day and night Cough, high fever, coma. During the period, the king of Zhou sent people to deliver precious medicinal materials and sent the imperial doctor of the state of Zhou to come. I don’t know if the emperor was harmed by him just to cover up his actions or if he really didn’t know..."

"He couldn't get rid of the responsibility of the emperor's death! If it wasn't for this old thief, the emperor is now reviewing papers in the Qianqing Palace. I wish I could kill him now, so that he will die without a place to bury him!" Lin Xuan gritted his teeth and shook his head. His upper veins were exposed, and he pulled out the Aurora sword at his waist and swung the table behind him, and it was split in two. "I wish I could gather an army to go to the Zhou Kingdom and cut off the old thief's head!" The death of my father and brother was caused by one person. However, Lin Xuan hated him, but he could only restrain himself.

"In Zhou Guo, whenever the emperor was sober, he would hold the hand of the old minister and say..." Ji Muzhi fell into painful memories, "What did you say?!" Lin Xuan said with concern. "He said, let the old minister go back to assist the prince to ascend the throne, and you must not ruin the great cause of Zhaoguo. You must be the Holy Lord of Mingjun!" Ji Muzhi cried, and he accompanied the emperor through the last part of his life. From when Lin Jin was just born, he watched him grow up and taught him the etiquette of poetry, books, etiquette, and watched him ascend the throne for the way of a king. From the rush when he first supervised the country to the time when he came to rule the world, the emperor was not just a king to him. , and finally watched him slowly perish with his own eyes. "My lord, Zhaoguo can't stand the toss now. You have to rest and take care of the government. After a few years, the country is strong and the army is prosperous. It's time to send troops. Of course you can send troops today, but the outcome is unknown. Now the ministers in the court also need your comfort. Wait until the prince Only by sitting firmly in the country can we avenge the late emperor and the emperor." Lin Xuan's anger turned into a pool of cold water, a soft aurora sword in his hand fell to the ground and made a few collision sounds, and he knelt upright in front of the coffin and did not say a word, Jiang Lingyue Looking at Lin Xuan worriedly, there were no more waves on his wooden face, as if he had died once.
