The reborn worthy minister is difficult to do

Swiping away the maid who served the dishes beside him, Emperor Taikang took a spoonful of osmanthus and hazelnut stuffing in his mouth, tasted it carefully, with a look of nostalgia on his face, "The taste is exactly the same as that made by your mother back then. "

Hearing Emperor Taikang's words, Li Haochen's heart tightened for no reason, and he asked tentatively: "Then the emperor should reward this eunuch well."

Emperor Taikang smiled and nodded, "I have rewarded you a long time ago, why didn't you. I understand what you mean, that old eunuch has served in the palace for more than [-] years, and his status is innocent." Immediately afterwards, the secret guards were sent to secretly investigate the old eunuch's details.

Li Haochen saw that Emperor Taikang knew it well, so he no longer worried.There are some things that cannot be explained in Feige's biography. Politics is taboo during mealtimes. The two of them ate their breakfast hastily, washed their hands and rinsed their mouths, and then Li Haochen took out the paper full of densely written names from his bosom. .

"Father, the trouble is very serious. I tell the inconvenience of the courtiers. These are the names of the officials' homes and the names of the secret works that Lin Xiao sent over the years pretending to be thin horses from Yangzhou."

Emperor Taikang took the paper, frowning tightly.

"The secret work of the Yue Kingdom has taken root in our Great Yao Kingdom like a leech." Emperor Taikang looked at the list and was afraid for a while. If he hadn't sent Chen'er this time, he didn't know how long this matter would have been hidden. .

"Thanks to the prince this time, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known that Yueguo had such ulterior motives to such a frenzied point." Emperor Taikang scanned the list again, and in this list, civil servants and military officials accounted for half, and each of the six books had detailed works infiltrated into it.

A trace of cold sweat dripped from Taikang Emperor's forehead, "Yueguo deceives people too much!"

Seeing this, Li Haochen comforted him and said: "Father, don't worry too much. Most of these detailed works are slaves with status and status, pointing out that these peony fairies are a bit tricky, and the others probably haven't stolen many Yao Kingdom secrets."

"Furthermore, the Fei family is the dominant one in the imperial court now, father can take this opportunity to suppress one or two."

"I also have that intention." Emperor Taikang nodded, and pointed to those Fei's henchmen, "I will leave this matter to Gongsun Yu."

"Chen'er, there are still 20 days until the vassal kingdoms come to Beijing to worship. As far as I know, seven or eight princesses from the Snow Kingdom, the Jialou Kingdom, and the Dafeng Kingdom have come to Beijing one after another. The princess came here. Chen'er, you are well-known outside, and the purpose of these princesses coming to Beijing is self-evident. You have always had your own opinions, and I don't make much of them, but you will be 20 years old soon."

"When I was 20 years old, I started to be a father. You are 20 years old now, but you don't even have a concubine to wait by your side."

Emperor Taikang's eyes shone brilliantly, "If the princesses of these countries are really good, it's fine to take them down."

Li Haochen caressed his forehead, with a dumbfounding expression on his face, "Father, I went to Beiguan to join the army at the age of 14, and now I am going to patrol the east of Jiangnan Road after returning home. How can I find any concubines?"

Emperor Taikang nodded and rubbed his hands together, "I just know that you have no time to understand love, so I am in a hurry to find some suitable ones for you."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was thoughtful, and immediately caught the loophole in Emperor Taikang's words: "Are you looking for me?" He raised his eyebrows, and said helplessly, "Father, you summoned these princesses?"

Emperor Taikang was at a loss for words. He had hinted in the imperial edict to the princes and countries that he would bring the female relatives of the right age.

"Father, don't do these things again in the future. My son envies the bond between father and mother, and won't look for any woman, not even concubine Ji, even this woman is so beautiful, The world is unparalleled." Li Haochen said plausibly, but what he thought in his heart was that no woman could have her own cute and beautiful words.

In his heart, Xiaoci is unparalleled in the world, and no one can replace it.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really scheming, and his heart is dark to death, but on the surface he always has the appearance of being righteous and righteous.

Emperor Taikang was speechless after being refuted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so he could only sigh and waved him away.

Emperor Taikang handed over the list to Gongsun Yu, and it didn't take long for Gongsun Yu to uproot some of Fei's extremely radical henchmen, surpassing his family.Because they were suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason, Fei Yuanzheng had no position to keep them, so he could only let Emperor Taikang and Gongsun Yu act.

As a result, one-third of Fei Yuanzheng's party members were cut off, and the court's majesty was not as good as before.

Fei Yuanzheng could only bite his silver teeth, swallowed the blood into his stomach, and respectfully praised Emperor Taikang for Yan Ming.

Half a month later, all 280 members of the Lin family were detained outside the Meridian Gate and beheaded for public display.This execution took four hours. After all these people were executed, there was already a river of blood on the execution platform, and large groups of blood flowed into the crowd.

Xu Changzong's current wife, Mrs. Lin, hid in the crowd, feeling a bit of fear in her heart.Although it was said that the whole family was copied and beheaded, she heard that all the married daughters of the Lin family were also murdered, and none of them survived.

According to what Xu Changzong said, these tricks should have been done by Emperor Taikang's hidden guards. Lin was terrified. She never thought that her father was actually a secret agent of Yue Guo, and half of Yue Guo's blood remained in her body!

If it wasn't for the fact that she and Xu Changzong fell in love with each other that day and kept Chen Cang in secret, she would have given birth to Zi Ya without hesitation.After being expelled from Lin's mansion by the wife of the Lin family, seeing that she has not had any contact with Lin's mansion for decades, I am afraid that I am one of the women who were assassinated!

Xu Changzong, who she once thought was her disaster, turned out to be her life-saving god at this moment.

The world is really impermanent, Lin hides in the crowd, looking at the familiar faces more than 20 years ago, those who bullied her, laughed at her, abused her, beat and scolded her, all were chopped off one by one. To the head.

Lin laughed heartily, retribution, this is retribution!

Back at Xu's Mansion, Xu Changzong was still in the Ministry of Rites and had not returned.

Lin's mind is full of worries, and he feels happy to be avenged for a big revenge in the past.The second is to be grateful for the pity of the heavens, allowing her to meet the handsome and handsome Xu Changzong that day, so that she not only escaped from the sea of ​​suffering, but even avoided death.

She was grateful, and seeing that it was almost dusk, she personally cooked some of the best dishes for Xu Changzong.

When it was getting dark, Xu Changzong and Xu Ziya returned home with their exhausted bodies.

Ever since Yangzhou Lin's Mansion was found out to be a secret agent of the Yue Kingdom, the two of them had a hard time in the court.It's not because they made mistakes in the court, but because his wife is from the Lin family.

Mrs. Lin was expelled from the family by the Lin family for many years. This matter was also a scandal. He and Mrs. Lin never talked about it to the outside world.But for some reason, almost everyone in the court and even in the entire capital knew that Lin was the concubine who was expelled from the house by Lin Xiao.

And they all knew the reason why Mrs. Lin was expelled from the house.

Back then, he passed through Yangzhou and had an affair with the Lin family, which caused Lin's illegitimate son to be expelled from the house by the Lin family.However, after the Lin family gave birth to him, he still married the Wang family, which was widely circulated.

Everyone said that Xu Changzong was the despised Chen Shimei, but Lin was not the poor Qin Xianglian.

Just because Mrs. Lin never stopped doing anything, she took her children and moved into Mrs. Wang's house. Although Mrs. Mrs. Wang divorced her husband in the end, Mrs. Wang was forced to jump over the wall because Mrs. Lin suppressed Mrs. Wang.

Just now on the way home, he and Zi Ya were sitting in the narrow carriage, and next to his ears were the endless curses from duty outside the window.

"Did you know that the person sitting in that carriage is today's Chen Shimei. Back then, he had an affair with the concubine of Yueguo Xizuo, and went to Beijing to rush for the exam as soon as he was greedy. But after he won the first prize in the exam, he didn't go back to look for the private appointment." A concubine for life, but to seduce the daughter of the local king to marry him."

"I've heard that too, but this Mrs. Lin is not a cheap lamp. Mrs. Wang married him in secret, but his concubine Mrs. Lin came to live with her three-year-old child. That child is this year's second place in the new subject——Xu Ziya."

"This Mrs. Lin is very cunning, and I'm afraid it's the evil Yueguo blood in her bones. She fell out of favor with Mrs. Wang not long ago, and even forced Mrs. Wang to take off her husband five years ago to vent her anger, and Mrs. Lin became a Xu Changzong's legitimate wife."

"Hey, I just feel sorry for Mrs. Wang and her child who was only ten years old. No wonder Xu Ci was so stubborn and domineering in those years. It was because of Xu Changzong and Mrs. Lin's suppression that a half-grown child resisted in that way. Or You see, he is still the same Xu Ci, but since he went to Song Taigong's house, he seems to have changed. He is gentle and humble. It can be seen that it is not Xu Ci who is stubborn, but Xu Changzong, who is too biased as a father, specializes in bullying. It's just Wang and her youngest son."

"This Lin family and Xu Changzong are really bastards who see Mung Dou right, a pair of adulterers and prostitutes, pretending to be officials of the court."

Xu Changzong and Lin's family have now become stinking street rats, everyone shouts and beats them, and everyone hates them.Because Xu Changzong belonged to Fei's party, Emperor Taikang severely punished those in Fei's party who were involved with the Lin family in the past few days.

Although he has nothing to do with this matter, but Lin is Lin Xiao's daughter after all, many members of Fei's party members have been cut off, Fei's party hates everyone and hates him very much.

And the princelings kept blaming him even more, and now he is in a dilemma in the court, and he is struggling.

Xu Ziya was not much better either, he was originally a editor in the Imperial Academy, but now he was sent by the academicians of the Imperial Academy to dry the books with the servants.

But Lin didn't know anything about it. She had prepared delicious food at home and was just waiting for her husband and son to return.

Zixian doesn't know what she's doing in her room recently, she often doesn't come out for a day.She is used to it now and ignores it.

The meals of the other concubines are all prepared by the mother, now that the Xu family is in decline, they no longer have to eat together every day, the Yang family and the others will bring the food into the room and eat it before bringing it back to the kitchen.

Now Mrs. Lin is sitting in the living room with her head up and looking forward, hoping that her husband and son will return soon.

When it was completely dark, Xu Changzong and Xu Ziya entered the house with heavy steps with unhappy expressions on their faces.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lin hurriedly responded with a smile on her face, and she helped Xu Changzong take off her official uniform and said with a smile: "Today I secretly went to the Meridian Gate to see the beheading of the Lin family. To have such an end today is also retribution!"

Xu Changzong stared blankly at Lin, as if he had never known her before, and said in a trembling voice: "You have the same blood in your body as theirs, your relatives were killed, you are not sad at all, but full of joy ?”

Only then did Lin realize that her words were a bit too indifferent, and she quickly clarified: "I am also a little sad, but they deserve what they deserve."

Xu Changzong sighed and ignored her.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lin wanted to take off her official robe for Xu Ziya, but Xu Ziya knocked her to the ground as soon as she stretched her hand halfway. Xu Ziya's expression was cold and calm, "Mother, I'll do it myself."

Being neglected by her husband and son one after another, Lin felt unwilling, but when she remembered the food she worked so hard to cook, she forced a smile again, "Master, Zi Ya, the food I made for you is still warm, eat it while it's hot With that said, he took Xu Changzong's arm and led him to the living room.

Xu Changzong pushed Lin away calmly, and walked silently by himself.

He regretted it very much now, if he could do it again, he only hoped that he would never meet Lin Shi again in this life.

His official career was ruined due to his relationship with the Lin family, and since Zi Ya has the blood of Yue people on his body, it is impossible to make any achievements in his official career in this life.

On one side is Xu Ci, Wang's good son who has been triumphant all the way, and on the other side is his good son Xu Ziya who has no future.

It is clear at a glance which is better and which is worse.

If he hadn't had an impulsive affair with Mrs. Lin back then, he could have gone straight to the capital without stopping, lived in Wang Yuanwai's house, married Mrs. Wang and raised his eyebrows, and gave birth to a well-behaved and smart son like Xu Ci.

Mrs. Wang has always been gentle and kind, while Mrs. Lin is more scheming.He also has some scheming and methods, so he admires and loves the capable Lin family more, but looks down on the incompetent Wang family.

But the Lin family he loved in every possible way back then is now so cold-blooded, and her relatives have been beheaded one after another, she has to feel that sadness is gloating instead.How cruel and cold-blooded is Lin Shi to be able to reach this point, Lin Shi will repay every grievance, and if someone hurts her, she will pay him back.

Suddenly, Xu Changzong stopped and asked as if he had exhausted all his strength, "I abandoned you back then and made you cry for a long time. Did you ever expect me to die?"

Lin was stunned on the spot, dumbfounded.To be honest, she did have this kind of thought back then, but since she and Zi Ya moved into the Xu Mansion, she never thought about it.If he died, wouldn't everything he had gained disappear with it?

Seeing Lin's stunned, Xu Changzong knew it already.He only felt a chill in his heart, and terror struck him.

The beautiful lady who has been snuggled up to her pillow for decades actually wished she could die, Lin really has a heart of snakes and scorpions.

If the usual Xu Changzong would have been screaming and jumping, furious.But now Xu Changzong has already exhausted all his strength, and he doesn't even have the strength to be angry.Seeing that Xu Changzong was not angry, Mrs. Lin smiled again, "Master, I was short of breath at that time, so don't take it to heart. Go and eat quickly, I will serve you your favorite Yangzhou lion head."

Yangzhou...Lion's Head.

Xu Changzong now taboos the word "Yangzhou" the most, and the Lin family is actually not doing Yangzhou lion head at the right time!

Unable to bear it any longer, he flicked his sleeves and shook off Mrs. Lin, "I'm not hungry, I'm going back to the study first, you guys eat."

Seeing his father striding away, Xu Ziya wanted to leave too.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lin hurriedly grabbed Xu Ziya, with sullen expression on her face, "What's wrong with you two, it's not good, why are you so angry?"

Xu Ziya's eyes were red with tears rolling down his face, "I will resign in two days."

Lin was shocked, grabbed Xu Ziya's leaving arm, and said anxiously: "Resign? You are the second place in the new department and have a bright future. Why do you want to resign? Where are you going after you resign?"

She managed to make it through, the Lin family who hurt her are all dead, her husband was the number one scholar in the new department back then, and her son is now the second in the new department.She had a good life, and she was simply a winner in life.

After finally waiting for his son to be successful, he will immediately marry a noble girl and go home to a higher level in his official career, and when she is a mother who is also brilliant, Xu Ziya actually shouted to resign? !

Is he crazy!

Xu Ziya couldn't stand it any longer, and roared angrily: "Mother, please calm down for a while? Because Lin Xiao and you are related by blood, now my father and I are struggling in the imperial court, being excluded by both sides."

"The Lin family ransacked all over the house. Although they drove you out of the house, after all, they have raised you for more than ten years. They are all dead. Even if you don't feel sad at all, don't act so gloating. You know that we I have not been implicated, but in fact, I have already been reviled behind my back."

"My father and I are now filthy and criticized by others. My father is old, and I will live through this life like this. But I am still young, and I can't just grind to death like this. Now that I have no career path, I can only break through in the business world. Make a name for yourself."

After Xu Ziya finished speaking, he turned and left, not looking at Lin again.

Lin's legs were limp and he fell to the ground, tears streaming down his face.She thought that the earth would clear up, this was a new life, and everything had just begun.Little did they know that this was hell, and this was the beginning of a nightmare.

……

At the same time, in Prince Gong's mansion far away in Hainan, Prince Gong has just received a secret letter and secret edict from Emperor Taikang.

The secret letter described Lin Xiao's crimes in detail, and the identity of his princess that Lin Xiao confessed.

Prince Gong covered his face and was heartbroken. His first wife died early due to illness. Although he wandered around the willow alleys for many years, he only wanted to use violence to control violence and relieve the pain of lovesickness.

It wasn't until he met his little princess that he fully enjoyed the feeling of being reborn.

But he never thought that the little princess he loves in every possible way, approached him only to use him.

Prince Gong put the secret letter and secret edict in his arms calmly, and walked towards the master bedroom.

In the master bedroom, Princess Gong is coaxing her newborn second child to sleep.

Xu Shi had already anticipated his end. Princess Gong clearly heard that Prince Gong was coming, but she didn't even look at him. She only raised her eyes to look at Prince Gong after coaxing her second child to sleep.

At this time, Princess Gong no longer had the playful look that Prince Gong usually saw in her eyes, but instead had a cold silence like a pool of stagnant water.
