Bai Jincheng really couldn't understand the former emperor's thinking, and he had another question that he couldn't understand: "Even if that's the case, your eighth uncle can still tell the truth, and you were still alive and well at that time .”

Zhao Zhen smiled wryly: "If I reported it right away, wouldn't I have slapped my father in the face? He had just issued an order to imprison the emperor's mother and seal Liu Concubine, but the eighth uncle immediately told him that he didn't know anyone. Do you think he will believe it? Even if he does, how can he have no grudges against me in his heart? Therefore, Uncle Eighth Wang raised me as his own son and wanted to wait until the situation subsides. After a prince was born, the father made him the prince and Concubine Liu the empress."

"Tsk tsk," Captain Bai sighed, "The emperor's heart is really dirty."

Zhao Zhen gave him an angry look: "I'm also the emperor! Don't bring me in too, okay! And that's my father after all, do you think it's appropriate to speak ill of him in front of me?"

Lieutenant Bai apologized to him with a smile, and the two brothers hugged his shoulders nicely: "Aren't we two friends? Don't you just treat me as a friend to tell me these little troubles?"

That's true, Zhao Zhen has never had a friend who can ignore his identity and let him say whatever he wants. Regarding the matter of changing the civet cat for the prince, he actually has a lot of thoughts and worries that he cannot express, and he has been holding back My heart is also strange.That's why he grabbed Bai Jincheng just now and wanted to tell him some bitterness. After all, Bai Jincheng was the first person who didn't have that kind of reverence for him, and he had nothing to do with the government.

"Forget it, it's okay for you to say this in front of me, but don't let others hear it," Zhao Zhen sighed, "Do you want to listen to the next thing?"

Xiaowei Bai nodded in particular gossip.

So Zhao Zhen spoke again.After the first emperor named Concubine Liu as empress, six years later, the prince born to Empress Liu died of illness. Powerless, under the worry and grief, he couldn't afford to get sick.When the Eight Sage Kings entered the palace to greet him, the first emperor asked about the children in his family. He said that his third son, Zhao Yiyi, was just about the same age as the prince born to Empress Liu. This child actually looks very similar to himself, and is also very smart and sensible, so if he is happy, his illness will be cured.

The first emperor believed that the child was destined for him and that he was his own nephew, so he issued an order to adopt him and make him a prince.When the prince entered the palace to meet Empress Liu, Chen Lin led him to meet Concubine Li who was imprisoned in the cold palace. Perhaps it was the nature of mother and child, when the prince saw Concubine Li burst into tears.Seeing the tears on his face, Empress Liu knew that he had met Concubine Li, and also saw that he looked very similar to the first emperor, so she suspected that he was the son of Concubine Li back then, so she had to torture the palace servant Kou Zhu. This secret committed suicide, and because Empress Liu forced someone to death, although she doubted it in her heart, she didn't dare to delve into it further.

But in her heart she still regarded Concubine Li as a thorn in the flesh, and slandered the late emperor, saying that Concubine Li burned incense day and night to curse the prince, and the late emperor gave Concubine Li a seven-foot white silk in his anger.Unexpectedly, Concubine Li has always been a generous and upright person. Although she has been reduced to a cold palace, there are still loyal palace servants who help her. A loyal servant who looks very similar to her hangs herself for her. He was sent out of the palace by Chen Lin and Qin Feng, the chief eunuch in charge of the cold palace, and then lived among the people.It wasn't until Mr. Bao met Concubine Li when he went to the rescue several months ago that he learned of her grievances.

After learning about Concubine Li's grievances, Master Bao secretly brought Concubine Li back and temporarily placed him outside the city, while notifying King Baxian. After seeing Concubine Li, King Baxian went to the palace to report to Zhao Zhen and told him All the truth of the year.

"Actually, I didn't fully believe it at the beginning. After all, the queen mother has supported me all these years, but the eighth king uncle brought the golden pill that my father gave to the emperor's mother back then. I have seen the same golden pill from the queen mother. , "Zhao Zhen looked very depressed, "Uncle Ba Wang raised me up, and it is impossible to harm me anyway, but in order to confirm the truth, I still pretended to be Uncle Wang's eldest son, my cousin Liuhe, and went to the outside of the city Seeing the empress, and then being assassinated, you know what happened afterwards."

When he said this, Bai Jincheng was very puzzled: "Isn't it a secret that Mr. Bao brought your empress back? How did those people know that she was still alive? And how did they know that they could find her by following the prince?"

Zhao Zhen smiled wryly: "There are eyes and ears of the Empress Dowager in the eighth uncle's mansion. When Uncle Wang heard the news and went back to discuss with his aunt, someone overheard it. But those people probably didn't know that Uncle Wang had told me, so I pretended to be Liuhe. At that time, they thought it was Uncle Wang who sent Liuhe to meet the queen, and they thought they could find out where the queen was... I look like Liuhe, and they couldn't tell if I dressed up a little, but when I was about to arrive, the guards We found someone following us, so we turned back halfway.”

"Why didn't Mr. Bao directly bring your imperial mother in when he entered the city? Then those assassins would have nothing to do." Bai Jincheng still felt very strange.

Zhao Zhen explained the rules to him: "Officials go out to report their duties, and they have to meet me in court before returning home. It is too inconvenient to bring the emperor's mother, and at that time the emperor's mother was sick and unable to move, Bao Qing We have no choice but to keep her outside the city."

Bai Jincheng nodded, stroked his chin and asked, "That is to say, now that the queen mother knows that your empress is back and has entered the Kaifeng mansion, what do you think she will do?"

Zhao Zhen lowered his head and blinked his eyes, but remained silent for a while.

"No matter what she will do, this matter can no longer be delayed," he said after a long time, "She probably still doesn't know that I have met the emperor's wife, and my leaving the palace today is also a secret. I will go back, and in the name of comforting Mrs. Bao who was assassinated, I will order Chen Banban and Guo Huai to come together to give Bao Qing an order and give some gifts. Then Bao Qing will take Guo Huai down and try the matter out. .As for the Empress Dowager... just give her a quiet room in the palace to practice Buddhism, she has always been good to me these years."

Bai Jincheng looked at him and sighed long, feeling that it was not easy for him, so he stretched out his hand and rubbed his head.

Zhao Zhen was stunned—since he ascended the throne, even Uncle Bawang didn't touch his head again!He stared at Bai Jincheng with wide eyes in a daze, feeling that his courage was really too great.

He used to be gentle and handsome, with a calm demeanor, but now he suddenly opened his eyes and stared blankly at people like this, and suddenly became quite cute—at least Captain Bai thought it was cute.

Bai Jincheng took off his hand, raised his eyebrows and smiled maliciously: "How is it? Have you felt the warmth and comfort from your friends?"

Zhao Zhen came back to his senses and sighed helplessly: "Your heart is too wide."

When he said this, Bai Jincheng suddenly remembered the people who were watching the fun before, and sighed: "Your people are really relieved. I was fighting and killing there, and they were still in the mood to watch the fun and applaud. It's over. They all rushed over to try to eat my tofu, but luckily I ran fast, otherwise I would have been stripped off depending on the situation."

Zhao Zhen imagined the scene and couldn't help laughing.

Finally he smiled, the frowning look on his face just now seemed strange and unaccustomed to him--Lieutenant Bai thought silently: I am so great, I contributed my own embarrassing things to make my friends happy, it is really touching!

Zhao Zhen bumped him suddenly with an elbow, and asked, "Hey, should I give you an official position or something? Although everyone calls you Bai Weiwei now, but you don't have an official position, and the name is not right. "

"It's a good idea," Bai Jincheng snorted, "If you become your official, won't you be tied up by you? I said why do you always want to keep me? I also want to go around and see Da Song How is it different from Datang?"

Zhao Zhen saw that his strategy to keep people around didn't work, so he had no choice but to give up.

After talking about everything that should be chatted, Zhao Zhen's depressed mood improved a lot, so he went to Master Bao to find out about the situation of those assassins who committed suicide.

Gongsun Ce had already experienced the corpses, and made several discoveries: "These people have been soldiers, and they are dead soldiers who have undergone long-term training. Before they came to assassinate, they should have just been to Tianshui Lane in the east of the city."

"How do you tell?" Bai Jincheng felt very mysterious.

Mr. Gongsun gave him a contemptuous look, and said, "I can't tell you a warrior like you."

But Master Bao's face turned serious: "Tianshui Lane in the east of the city...the Empress Dowager's natal family is there."

Zhao Zhen nodded, and said: "I'll go back to the palace first, Bao Qing, and things will be done as we discussed."

So this afternoon, his imperial decree to "pacify the assassinated Mrs. Bao" came down.

After the two old eunuchs Chen Lin and Guo Huai announced the decree, Mr. Bao shouted after receiving the decree: "Take it!"

Zhao Hu, who was the most stunned among the four big arresters, immediately stepped forward and pushed Chen Lin to the ground. Mr. Bao helped his forehead: "Wrong! Another one!"

Bai Jincheng stepped forward to put Guo Huai down speechlessly, and kicked Zhao Hu casually: "Don't let him go yet! Didn't you see this man flirting with adults before?"

Chen Banban was also speechless - this kid is the legendary mighty, handsome and witty White Guard?Why so two?

The author has something to say: I saw a girl asking why Chen Lin was called "Chen Banban", so I will explain. Qualifications are called "companions", only those with status and status like Chen Lin can do it.
