Chapter 842 Borrowing Flowers to Present Buddha Xiaode Emperor
Taizu Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty was born in the Chuang Army.
Therefore, after the founding of the country, great care was taken of the descendants of King Chuang.
Because King Chuang's surname was Li, he found a party member Li Yuanhao as his ancestor, so Zhou Taizu named Li Guo, King Chuang's nephew, "King Yinchuang" and renamed Ningxia Prefecture Ping'an Prefecture as the seat of King Yinchuang.
Jiedushi of Ping'an Prefecture.
A hundred years later, Ping'an Prefecture became increasingly prosperous. King Yinchuang made tens of millions of profits through land and trade, so he colluded with some ministers who had lost power in the court and raised a flag to rebel in mid-August.
Although Emperor Xiaode had received the news long ago and was fully prepared, the situation in Ping'an Prefecture was still tense for a while. There were almost 30,000 to 40,000 rebels. They claimed that they would divide their troops into four groups to take Chang'an directly, and the fifth group would
Just waiting in Chang'an.
The news spread widely, and everyone knew about it. For a time, rumors spread in Chang'an City.
But the well-informed upper-class people in the capital knew that with the Jinyi Guards, the Dragon Imperial Guards, and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, no matter how big the waves were, they would not be able to avert it.
At a time when rumors were spreading, Prince Heng finally found an excuse to visit Lin Mansion.
After he and Daiyu got engaged, although they often exchanged letters and discussed collections of classics and history, as well as poems and poems, they rarely met each other.
But Ping'an Prefecture rebelled, and he came to visit because he was "worried about Daiyu's safety."
Lin Ruhai and Jia Min knew this very well, but they were also willing to enhance their relationship, so they pretended not to know, invited Lin Zhao and Daiyu to receive them, and then avoided it.
Prince Heng was also smart. He did not ask Daiyu, but asked Lin Zhao to discuss how to arrange the palace soldiers: if there were three shifts a day, how to arrange the time? How to warn? Where are the archers? Are the weapons in the palace enough, etc.
As expected of Prince Heng, someone who has done his homework and asked some questions clearly and clearly.
Lin Zhao smiled slightly, took out a finely decorated short fire weapon, and said: "My lord, don't worry. The defense of the house has been guided by the Jin Yiwei. It is safe and worry-free. This short fire weapon is given to you and can also be used as a gift."
Defend yourself.”
Because this short fire blunderbuss was well made, Prince Heng couldn't help but take it and play with it. He asked casually: "Brother Lin is indeed amazing. Was this fire blunderbuss snatched from the Eros people?"
Of course not.
It's made in my secret workshop.
But of course Lin Zhao would not say such words, and nodded and said: "Yes, it was given to me by Ostelman, the Governor of the East of Eros."
Prince Heng looked at Daiyu hurriedly and said with a smile: "The so-called borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha, the capital is unstable, the princess might as well hold this firecracker to defend herself."
Lin Zhao raised his eyebrows and looked at Prince Heng in surprise.
sure!
It turns out that the focus of today is on this sentence.
This guy seems clumsy and a nerd, but I didn't expect that he is so good at flirting with girls.
When Daiyu saw it, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled and said: "I have a whole box. Besides, my brother usually teaches me how to shoot, and several of the maids around me can also shoot, so you don't have to give it to me, and you don't have to worry about me.
.But the people around you, do you need a few for self-defense?"
It took Prince Heng a long time to close his open mouth, and then he said resolutely: "Well, they don't know how to use it. I'll leave it to you." After thinking about it, he said: "Some of your servants can use these fire elements.
What?"
Daiyu nodded and said: "The servants given by my brother are all good at it, and they are all equipped with fire command."
Prince Heng immediately said: "Let them guard the inner courtyard alone."
Daiyu said: "Then I will arrange for two people to follow you."
Prince Heng smiled and said gently: "Okay."
Lin Zhao was at the side at this time.
But he had no choice but to pretend to be blind and mute.
Baochai's eyes were indifferent, as if he didn't see or hear anything.
On the other hand, two female officials, Jia Xichun and Jia Qiao, stood aside, looked at each other, and couldn't help shaking their heads.
Jia Xichun said bitterly: "Ahem, sister Lin, brother-in-law Lin, have you forgotten that there is someone else here?"
Daiyu blushed and quickly pushed Prince Heng out: "You, you should be more careful when you go out."
Prince Heng nodded hurriedly, and said as he left: "I, well, I will send someone to bring snacks later, as well as the Dahongpao who paid tribute. I remember you also like to eat."
Daiyu nodded like an ostrich and pushed Prince Heng out.
When Xichun and Sister Qiao saw her coming back, they hugged each other and imitated their conversation. Xichun said in a rough voice: "I, I and others will have someone bring snacks over, and there will be a tribute from Dahongpao."
Sister Qiao said softly: "Okay. Let two people follow you. Be careful when you go out."
After saying this, the two of them couldn't stop laughing.
Daiyu's whole face turned red from being teased by them. She stamped her foot, threw each of them a handkerchief, and ran into the inner room.
Xichun and Qiaojie laughed more and more.
Lin Zhao and Baochai seemed like wooden Buddha statues, with expressionless faces, as if they were sitting down.
After a long time, Lin Zhao sighed: "The young people today are really incredible. What they said has taught the children bad things."
Xichun and Sister Qiao couldn't help but blush when they heard this.
Baochai said angrily: "Looking at what you said, it seems like you are very old."
Lin Zhao looked back at Baochai and saw Xichun and Sister Qiao walking away with blushing faces. He held her hand and said with a smile: "I'm not young anymore. Children of my age can already understand
Ran away like crazy."
As soon as these words were spoken, Baochai's face turned red, and Lin Zhao held both hands, feeling as if he was in the clouds.
For a long time, Baochai bit her lip, looked up at Lin Zhao, and then quickly lowered her head.
Although this action is not provocative, it is very charming.
Lin Zhao smiled slightly and suddenly stood up. He took Baochai's hand and said, "I haven't been to the garden for a long time. Let's go and have a look. I actually thought of a poem in my mind."
Baochai knew her husband's talent and hurriedly said: "My husband is as talented as Dongpo and Jiaxuan. The poems he writes must be excellent, and I am listening attentively."
"Looking at the strong pines in the dim dusk, you can still calmly fly through the chaotic clouds. A fairy cave was born, and the infinite scenery is on the dangerous peak."
Lin Zhao bowed his head and whispered in Baochai's ear.
Baochai's pretty face turned red again, but when she looked at Lin Zhao, her eyes were like stars soaked in warm water...
…
Lin Zhao lived a happy life in his own mansion, but the good days only lasted a few days.
One day in September, the emperor suddenly issued an imperial edict and summoned Lin Zhao into the palace.
"I've been neglecting you these past few months. Do you feel any resentment in your heart?"
Emperor Xiaode asked.
Ha! It’s quite straightforward!
Lin Zhao smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. Your Majesty's father holds the position of Six Ministers, which is a high-level civil service position. In order to balance the government, I naturally have to keep a low profile and hide at home. Otherwise, wouldn't I become Yan Shifan?"
Emperor Xiaode laughed: "If you become Yan Shifan, wouldn't I become Jiajing?"
Lin Zhao cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty's talents and strategies are comparable to those of the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty, but Jiajing cannot compare with your Majesty's ingenuity."
He realized that the emperor needed him and he would be rich and powerful in the future, so he flattered him.
Everyone should carry the sedan chair.
Emperor Xiaode waved his hand and his face returned to calmness: "There is one thing. I need you to sit in the palace and take full control of the command for me. Are you willing to do it?"
Lin Zhaodao: "I will go through fire and water without hesitation. Please give me your Majesty's orders."
Emperor Xiaode said: "Rumors are spreading all over the capital, and you know it. If it were normal, I would have ordered the Jinyi Guards and the Dragon Imperial Guards to control the matter in the bud. But I don't have this one. Do you know why?"
Lin Zhao smiled slightly: "Your Majesty must have borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha, intending to give those disloyal and hindering guys a good memory."
