The oval-shaped birthmark on the left wrist! This is exactly the same as the characteristics mentioned by Zhang Yang before. It seems that it was the man in black who came to Zhang Yang to buy his own life for a hundred taels of silver.
Knowing one's own minister of the DPRK is really scary to think about. Doesn't this mean that there is probably a traitor hiding next to him, and he is completely unaware of it!
In the evening, someone came to eat, drink and have some leisure time under the pretext of teaching His Majesty how to practice the piano.
Lin Chong looked at Zhou Ze, who looked gentle but had been eating for a long time. He dragged his chin with his right hand and asked curiously: "Do you know which minister in the court is left-handed?"
Zhou Ze frowned and thought for a while: "I know a few left-handed people, but I wonder why Your Majesty suddenly asked about this?"
Lin Chong gave his latest confession: "This was brought from Dali Temple. Logically speaking, no matter whether you are giving money or taking things, you should not see the birthmark on your left wrist. So I think the most reasonable explanation is that this person is a leftist."
Handy."
Zhou Ze slowly finished half a rack of lotus leaf chicken: "Your Majesty's analysis makes sense, but do you know that some people can use both their left and right hands equally without any hindrance, like me."
Lin Chong was curious: "Can you still write and eat with your left hand?"
Zhou Ze handed the chopsticks to his left hand and steadily picked up a grain of corn to demonstrate to Lin Chong.
Lin Chong was surprised and deliberately darkened his face: "Hurry up and show me your left sleeve. Are you the traitor?"
Zhou Ze rolled up his sleeves hesitantly, his expression really frightened Lin Chong.
Zhou Ze suddenly laughed. After rolling up his sleeves, his left hand above the wrist was white and clean without any birthmarks or scars.
Lin Chong breathed a sigh of relief: "You scared me to death." Zhou Ze continued to fight with the remaining half of the lotus leaf chicken: "What if I really have a birthmark on my left wrist? What if I really am the traitor?"
Lin Chongxuan looked like he was about to cry: "If you really think that Prince Xiang is more suitable to be emperor than me, then I will..." "Abdication in favor of someone more worthy?"
"Bah, I'll strangle you both to death."
Zhou Ze laughed so hard that he almost choked himself. He calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, after the sacrifice is completed, I hope your Majesty will allow me to rest for a while."
Lin Chong suddenly realized: "After the Chinese New Year, you don't have to go to morning service from the first to the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Aren't these days of vacation enough? But since your family is here, they should also want you to go back and have a look. During this period, you
Thank you for your hard work. It’s okay. When the time comes, you can come up with a plan and I will approve it.”
Zhou Ze smiled and said, "I am indeed homesick. I have been away for too long and want to go back for a visit. In my heart, there is no one more suitable to be the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty than Your Majesty."
Lin Chong snorted. As soon as this kid saw that he had taken advantage of him, he began to flatter him, even though there was nothing wrong with what he said.
Zhou Ze can be considered a qualified teacher. It stands to reason that the emperor should have been taught these things by the prince's young master when he was still the prince.
Lin Chong didn't know if Chongzhen understood this. Anyway, he knew nothing about it. He had no foundation and no talent. Under Zhou Ze's guidance, Lin Chong gradually became able to understand a few simple songs. After being able to play a few simple tunes,
Lin Chong was very excited.
Zhou Ze stood up and put Lu Qi in front of him: "Your Majesty, come here and give it a try." Lin Chong was gearing up, but when he actually sat down, he felt a little nervous.
It's not that he has never played Lu Qi before. Although he couldn't really play it last time and just played it randomly a few times, when he sat in front of Lu Qi again this time, his mood was completely different from before.
Speaking of which, playing the piano is indeed a bit boring, especially when you practice the same melody over and over again, but in the same process, your impetuous mood will slowly settle down.
Lin Chong found that he still liked playing the piano, especially when he tried a short piece of melody he had just learned on the Green Qi. The same rhythm was played by the same person, but the effects of different pianos were indeed very different.
Lu Qi's tone was gentle, and the effect she played had an indescribable tenderness. The touch across the strings was really good. Lin Chong was very satisfied with himself. Zhou Ze also showed a smile and complimented him casually.
A few sentences have made some progress.
It was getting late, Zhou Ze resigned, and Lin Chong was left alone looking at Lu Qi in a daze. "Your master has been very strange recently. Why on earth did he suddenly put you here with me? I hope I have overthought it.
It would be better if nothing happens."
At the same time, King Xiang was leisurely practicing his new post, and when he was satisfied with his writing, he took it up and showed it to another person for review.
This time the dark figure did not stand behind the screen. He took the post from Prince Xiang and looked at it carefully: "The writing is very good, and you can see that the person who wrote it is in a happy mood. It seems that the prince's great event will be successful."
, I would like to congratulate the prince in advance."
Prince Xiang waved his hand: "Success or failure depends on this one move. Even if it succeeds, it will be indispensable for a lot of help from Sir. Nothing promised to Sir will be less."
The black figure smiled arrogantly: "Then I thank you for your kindness, but I want to remind you to pay attention to one thing. The three major camps must be the emperor's backbone, although you have to be careful about the movements of the three major camps.
The emperor has long said that he will give them a chance to atone for their crimes, and the prince should be more careful. Another thing is, has the prince noticed the movements of the Ministry of War in the past few days? "
Prince Xiang was stunned: "I have never noticed this. Is there anything unusual in the Ministry of War?"
The shadow put down the copybook in his hand. He had indeed taken it with his left hand just now. When he put down the thing and raised his hand, the oval-shaped birthmark was revealed. "It can't be said that there is anything unusual. It's just that the newly appointed Minister of War is quite capable. Xiang
The king should be careful that he secretly mobilizes troops for the emperor."
King Xiang nodded: "This is natural. The three major battalions have suffered casualties and injuries. The maximum number that can fight now is 20,000 people. I can deal with them enough. As for the matter of the Ministry of War, I will also pay attention to it. Thank you sir for mentioning it."
point."
The dark figure leaned over and whispered something to King Xiang.
Prince Xiang nodded: "One more thing, Xiao Dezi is back. He said that the emperor put him back. When I asked him, he said that he didn't know anything."
The dark figure pondered, "Is the prince worried that the emperor is deliberately letting him back for some purpose?"
Prince Xiang didn't say anything, which was regarded as acquiescence. Logically speaking, this little man still had the mother-in-law poison that he had planted on him, so he shouldn't betray him, but he couldn't believe that the emperor would let him back like this.
Five days later, there will be a grand sacrificial ceremony. The tall and handsome Jin Yiwei with excellent martial arts will lead the way. The road is crowded with people watching the ceremony. The royal family and nobles have occupied the restaurant private rooms and inn rooms with the best views, talking loudly in small groups.
Even though it was winter, not to mention ice on the road, there was no snow at all. The luxurious Jinluan came out of the palace all the way, and sixteen guards with high martial arts skills acted as bearers.
The civil and military officials were divided into two columns according to rank. The Qintian Prison had already calculated that the weather had improved and the sun was clear. No matter how you looked at it, this was an auspicious omen for the peace and prosperity of the country and the people.
According to the custom in previous years, the princes would accompany the emperor to the altar. If there were no princes present, the emperor would have to walk up the long altar alone, and no one could accompany him.
