Dressed as the Regent's Runaway Wife

"It's you!" Emperor Xuanhe yelled suddenly, and stepped back on his hands and feet: "Brother Huang, why is it you!"

Brother Huang died in Liaodong!Even if he didn't die, why did he suddenly come to the capital?Still in the palace?

He was sweating profusely, and the fright in his heart was stronger than he had imagined. The guard behind him raised his blade, said "Guardian!", and stopped him behind his back.

Under the blade, Lin Bozhou sat still in his white clothes, with a calm expression: "I have been wronged, and I beg Your Majesty to make the decision."

His voice was calm and upright, and he didn't make any other movements except sitting where he was.

"..."

Emperor Xuanhe calmed down a little bit, turned his head and saw Pei Xiyi who was kneeling and kowtowing in a "plop", and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Brother Huang."

After waking up from the shock, I heard the word "grievance" again, and it was replaced by an indescribable complexity: "Are you still alive? I know that your guards have returned to the regiment camp, and you disappeared in Liaodong... I didn't expect you Back to Beijing..."

As he said that, Emperor Xuanhe felt a surge of anger in his heart.

He complained very much to Lin Bozhou, thinking that he was quite merciful, and he just wanted to take back his military power, and didn't even want to harm his life, but at that time Lin Bozhou burned the city and fled, and even plotted to rebel.

Emperor Xuanhe muttered to himself: "You still dare to come to see me."

The current Lin Bozhou looks haggard.

But the tone is still as rigid and distant as when he was teaching before, every word and every word is the stability and weight that Emperor Xuanhe is familiar with.

"I have suffered innocent injustice, and I want to report it to Your Majesty."

Emperor Xuanhe was annoyed: "What grievance?"

"The Marquis of Zhenguan, together with the eunuchs of the supervising army, falsely preached the imperial decree. Taking advantage of the inconvenient eyesight of the minister, when the victorious soldiers and horses of Jizhou were all outside the city, they attempted to harm the minister. The minister had no choice but to burn the city and escape. He was alone among the refugees for half a month. At this time, Hou is stealing military exploits and slandering his ministers for rebellion."

Lin Bozhou closed his eyes tightly, "I am pure and innocent, and I have never had any second thoughts. I hope Your Majesty will see clearly."

Emperor Xuanhe turned his head to look at him.

"what……"

This is completely different from the military newspaper he saw.

It is clearly stated in the military information that Lin Bozhou refused to hand over his commander seal, and after leading the guards to fight fiercely with the regiment soldiers, he burned the city and fled without knowing where he was going.

Emperor Xuanhe's mind was buzzing.

He vaguely realized that he seemed to be cheated, but he refused to admit it.This is the first time he has issued an important imperial decree since he left Lin Bozhou, but he was deceived by others, is he stupid?

"If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask Marquis Zhenguan and Cui Lang to confront him. Who knows the truth about the battle in Jizhou better? Just ask." Lin Bo said.

"Why should I—"

Take your word for it and let you confront them.

But Emperor Xuanhe saw Lin Bozhou's sick face and eyes covered by white gauze. Compared with the previous emperor brother, the current emperor brother is many times paler and downcast.

Returning to Beijing alone to meet him, the sincerity has already moved Emperor Xuanhe.

Emperor Xuanhe asked, "Where's Cui Lang?!"

"The Zen master was ill and did not come to the palace."

"Call him here."

Emperor Xuanhe was drenched in sweat, and sat down slowly.

He looked at Lin Bozhou's eyes covered with white gauze: "Your eyes?"

"Two days before the battle in Jizhou, the minister's eye disease relapsed, and he has not recovered yet," Lin Bozhou said, "I asked a few doctors on the way, and they all said that he was blind."

"..."

Emperor Xuanhe was stunned again.

A cold sweat and a sense of relaxation hit the spine at the same time.

It is good news for him that Lin Bozhou is blind. The throne will not allow people with disabilities to succeed to the throne, and... his eyes can no longer see, which means that Lin Bozhou is also completely disabled.

Emperor Xuanhe relaxed a lot: "Why do you think of going back to Beijing alone?"

"With the victory of Jizhou, the situation in Liaodong can be stabilized in the spring, and there is no need for the minister to interfere. Furthermore, your Majesty became suspicious of the minister, but the minister was loyal to the majesty, so he decided to return to Beijing to show his innocence to the majesty."

Emperor Xuanhe was silent, he was a little moved.

Return to the guard army.

Go to Beijing alone.

Only the most loyal ministers will abandon everything, just to be innocent.

However, he was still angry and did not vent his anger: "As you said just now, Marquis Zhenguan wanted to harm you that night, so you burned the city and fled. But Marquis Zhenguan just wanted to take your seal and ribbon and escort you back It's just Jing, I don't want to hurt you, are you overreacting?"

Lin Bozhou suddenly raised his jaw and looked in the direction of Emperor Xuanhe.

"Your Majesty's words are very true. The minister has indeed overreacted."

He finally admitted that Emperor Xuanhe couldn't help being complacent.

"It's what I said. You are greedy for power, and you are keen on fame and fortune. Even if you never thought of rebelling, you still don't want to hand over power to me. You return to the court to show your loyalty, so that your position as regent can continue to be stable. Continue to turn a blind eye to me and monopolize power. Brother Huang, I am no longer a child, and I can understand your thoughts."

After Lin Bozhou left Liaodong, Emperor Xuanhe heard many people's opinions on Lin Bozhou.

This powerful and arrogant regent.

Even if he didn't want to rebel, but he held his power and refused to return it to the emperor, how is this different from rebellion?

"It's true that I overreacted, but what I envy is not power, but wealth and life." Lin Bozhou paused every word, his voice was slow, and he didn't mean to be poked at the center.

Emperor Xuanhe said "Oh?" and looked at him unexpectedly.

Not for power, why else?

He is no longer naive.

Lin Bozhou didn't answer, but said: "I have a request after returning to Beijing to present my situation."

Emperor Xuanhe moved his fingers slightly and gritted his teeth: "Say it."

Lin Bozhou fell to the ground and saluted: "Your Majesty, I ask you to remove the post of regent, let me return to Guzhou to recuperate from illness, keep filial piety for my parents, enjoy the joy of fish and water with my wife, and never step into the capital again."

It was like a thunderbolt fell.

Emperor Xuanhe's expression twisted: "What did you say?"

Lin Bozhou repeated clearly: "Your Majesty, please let me return to Guzhou."

The corners of Emperor Xuanhe's lips twitched slightly: "You have worked so hard to return to the capital, just to tell me that you quit and want to go back to Guzhou to retire?"

"Your Majesty is wholeheartedly planning for the great country and society. Unexpectedly, in the eyes of the ministers, such an excuse will fall, but what they say is not unreasonable. Your Majesty has grown up now and should be in charge of the government. The minister will only hinder His Majesty's actions in the court. "

Lin Bozhou paused, and then said, "Furthermore, I am troubled by blindness. I blame myself all day long and lament the unfairness of my fate. I have no intention of going to court. I just want to go back to Guzhou and enjoy the rest of my life with the princess."

"..."

Emperor Xuanhe was completely speechless.

——The purpose of Lin Bozhou's return to Beijing was not to seize power from him.

The tense things in his heart eased, and he felt the sword hanging above his head fall. He thought he would stab himself with bruises all over his body, but now he found that he was just thinking wildly.

Inexplicable embarrassment surged up, if what Lin Bozhou said was true, wouldn't it be inhumane and unrighteous for him to change generals and put him in a dangerous situation?

Emperor Xuanhe clenched his fingers tightly, and when his thoughts were filled with thoughts, he suddenly laughed in his ear.

Emperor Xuanhe raised his head and saw Lin Bozhou's lips slightly raised.

He was inherently handsome, and when he smiled at this moment, it was as if a spring breeze was blowing on his face, and thousands of flowers bloomed, which made people feel relaxed.

Emperor Xuanhe was a little surprised. He knew that the emperor's brother was born handsome and elegant, with outstanding appearance, but he always kept the etiquette in front of him, with a serious face and serious eyes. Before that, Emperor Xuanhe thought that someone like Lin Bozhou would marry a wife. , Will you smile at your wife?

Now I find that Brother Huang really has no sense of distance when he smiles.

He couldn't help wondering: "What are you laughing at?"

Lin Bozhou's voice was also gentle: "The minister is relieved. After leaving His Majesty for four months, His Majesty's progress is faster than before. He will doubt and think more deeply than before."

Emperor Xuanhe's fingers suddenly loosened, his eyes lit up.

"really?"

Lin Bozhou really rarely praised him.

Lin Bozhou was so smart. Emperor Xuanhe knew how powerful his imperial brother was. When he finished learning a chapter on current affairs, he was full of joy. After asking, he found out that Lin Bozhou had followed his father to read word by word when he was seven or eight years old.

Lin Bozhou would of course praise him, but he just nodded, expressing as a courtier in a distant and restrained way, never praised him with a warm smile like today, like a big brother.

Emperor Xuanhe was dubious: "Have I improved compared to before?"

Lin Bozhou's brows and eyes were stained with shadows, and the upper half of his face was vaguely sick and gloomy, but the smile on his lips was gentle, as warm as a spring breeze.

People unconsciously ignored the coldness: "Your Majesty's chess skills are also more advanced than before."

Emperor Xuanhe jumped up directly: "Really, Brother Huang!"

He was in high spirits.

But he should have thought of his awkward relationship with him now, and sat down.

Lin Bozhou spoke slowly, returning to the strict and distant look in Emperor Xuanhe's memory.

"But playing chess is not a proper job after all. After returning to Guzhou, His Majesty will be in charge of the government in the future, and he must devote all his energy to planning for Dazong and doing things for the people."

Emperor Xuanhe: "Good!"

He was still too young.

Lin Bozhou lowered his eyelids, and felt calm for a while.

Using both kindness and power, giving a candy with a stick, not only easily regained his trust and family affection, but also continued to stand in his position as the authoritative thinker, arbitrarily criticizing his behavior, and the more he blamed, the more he would worship himself in his heart .

Anyone who is a little bit older would not be so naively fooled by this kind of speech.

So, when he left the imperial court, how many people would the Emperor Xuanhe be deceived by their sweethearts and swords, and make mistakes?

Lin Bozhou twirled his fingers lightly, thinking that he would start to worry, worried about the court, worried about the country, but at this moment his heart was peaceful.

"Why hasn't Cui Lang come yet?"

Emperor Xuanhe couldn't help complaining.

But after complaining, he said again: "Since he didn't come, let's play chess again?"

He recalled in his mind the sense of oppression that Lin Bozhou had brought to him just now on the chess game. His chess strength is improving, and now there are not many people who can still play according to him.

But... Emperor Xuanhe's mind suddenly flashed the feeling that Senhan seemed to be pinched by the throat just now. It should be a pair of ferocious hands that easily pinched his slender throat. With a little force, he can connect him to his head and body Break into two pieces.

His hands trembled a bit, but soon, the feeling faded away.

He looked at Lin Bozhou expectantly.

Lin Bozhou didn't refuse, and said flatly: "Okay, let's play another game."

In the chess room, two figures confront each other, and the years are quiet.

On the other side, Cui Lang was summoned by the eunuch and stood at the door with his clothes on: "Tell me, who is that chess player?"

The eunuch said: "Regent, it is absolutely true."

"It's over."

Cui Lang broke out in cold sweat on his forehead, he yelled suddenly, and then asked again: "How long have they been talking?"

The eunuch said, "About a quarter of an hour."

Cui Lang's heart was beating wildly, almost vomiting blood.

He knows best that a smart person can play with people's hearts and turn the world upside down with just a few words, especially Lin Bozhou. He can hold down Emperor Xuanhe for six years, and he can hold down again at any time. There will be no accidents.

So, how did Lin Bozhou come to the capital?

What are the checkpoints along the way doing?What is Zhenguanhou doing?What are the guards in the capital doing? !

Lin Bozhou knows best how much a flirtatious person needs to be on guard, otherwise he wouldn't have asked someone to kill him without saying a word a few months ago.

Since Lin Bozhou entered Beijing, maybe he has already won.

"broken."

Cui Lang was sweating all over his body, his back was icy cold, and even his legs were a little stiff.

Seeing his terrified appearance, the eunuch couldn't help laughing: "It's not that the regent has three heads and six arms, why is the Zen master so frightened?"

"……What do you know."

Just like playing Go, when there is a huge difference in chess strength between two people, the weaker side can't perceive how powerful the other side is.

Only when you are not too far away from him, can you know the depth and unfathomableness of the other party, and understand the step-by-step calculations of the other party.

Cui Lang and Lin Bozhou are now pinching the chess piece of Emperor Xuanhe.

As for the outcome, I am afraid that it will be decided soon.

Cui Lang swallowed his throat, forced himself to calm down, and he took a step forward.

Going to the chessboard where life and death are decided.
