In the imperial study room, a look of deep indifference appeared on the face of Emperor Wang Lin behind the imperial desk.
A person like Yu Zhongchao with extremely high IQ and EQ is unwilling to be used by the court. Such a person will be a dangerous element and a great hidden danger whether he stays in the court or among the people.
Wang Lin will never leave any hidden danger of future trouble to the newly born Yan Dynasty.
From this moment on, Wang Lin made up his mind that Yu Zhongchao would definitely die.
But for someone like Yu Zhongchao, trying to move him will definitely attract a lot of resistance, both from the court and from the people.
So Wang Lin needs solid evidence.
Jinyiwei has laid out a dragnet, and all clues and people involved in the case must be brought to justice in advance and escorted to Beijing before moving to Zhongchao.
In order not to arouse Yu Zhongchao's alarm, after visiting Yu Zhongchao's home, the emperor issued a special edict to commend Yu Zhongchao for his reputation for integrity.
She curled up in the emperor's arms and enjoyed the emperor's caressing her. Her face flushed slightly. She had to block the emperor's magical hands and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, this concubine cannot..."
He was conferred the title of Xuecheng County Prince, and his treatment was the same as that of the emperor's prince.
Zhu Lian said softly: "Your Majesty, sister Kong Lin has a well-established family background and is the best among women in terms of heart and mind.
Zhao Chen, a child less than five years old, looked at the emperor with some fear. This was the fifth time he had seen the emperor.
As for the future, there is of course some risk. But Wang Lin believes that he can still control such risks.
Her whole body and mind were tied to the man in front of her. She never regarded him as the emperor, but as the man she loved most.
Moreover, this arrangement was obviously meant to compensate and appease, and at the same time it was intended to send a correct signal to the harem. The rumors that Kong Lin was disliked by the emperor were false.
no need.
Wang Lin smiled bitterly: "Lian'er, you can say whatever you want. There is nothing else that cannot be said between you and me in front of me."
After handling the matters in the court, Wang Lin stood up and stretched his somewhat stiff waist, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Wang Lin knew that Zhu Lian was talking about the female relatives in the harem.
Zhu Lian was astonished. He took it and took a look. He couldn't help but look moved and burst into tears.
The two have supposedly been in love for many years, but at this time of year, Zhu Lian still feels like a newlywed.
Zhu Lian was ecstatic and burst into tears.
The Confucian family is not terrible, what is terrible is the scholarly and Confucian forces behind the Confucian family.
In the past, Zhu Lian had not completely relaxed her mind. Apart from the emperor, at least half of her thoughts were on Zhao Chen, her son with her ex-husband Zhao Huansheng.
Hug Zhu Lian tightly.
"?who?"
Zhu Lian was hugged by the emperor, feeling sweet and warm in her heart. She smiled: "Yes. I am pregnant. From now on, I can no longer serve Your Majesty before giving birth.
"Your Majesty, I have nothing to repay you for your kindness, I can only..." Zhu Lian kept sobbing.
He just gave a little care that a father should give, and he also had the title of county king.
After sending Chen'er away, the two of them rubbed each other's ears. Wang Lin comforted her for a long time before saying: "Okay, don't cry, Lian'er. I will treat you as my own son from now on. What else do you have to worry about?"
As for the future, there is no need to think too much, I believe that the son you have trained, Lian'er, will definitely do nothing wrong."
Except for Han Yan and Zhu Lian who occasionally visited her, Kong Lin had almost no contact with the other girls in the harem.
Wang Lin looked at Zhu Lian carefully after hearing this, and saw that she had a plump face, a radiant face, two willow eyebrows like crescent moons, and a graceful and pleasant temperament.
In addition to the lack of ambition, the main reason is that the situation is overwhelming and irreversible.
For Zhu Lian, he was willing to take some risks.
He looked at his mother Zhu Lian again as if asking for help.
He couldn't help but was greatly moved, he went forward and hugged her, and said with a chuckle: "Let me guess, the good news should be that Lian'er is pregnant. Two good news, then, Qingzhao or Shuzhen is also pregnant.
Is it done?"
"Lian'er, teach him well and don't let him go astray. I will treat him as if he were my own child. As for the future, just tell him the truth. I wonder if I still have the ambition."
"Okay, you haven't told me yet, what's the bad news?"
As for the relationship between him and Zhao Chen, it is actually a replica of Zhao Gou.
Wang Lin was said to be a very attentive person, and he was very aware of the internal affairs of the palace. He was aware of Zhao Chen's problem, so he decisively took action to resolve it.
Wang Lin burst into sweat.
If he wanted to eliminate hidden dangers, Wang Lin should have killed all the royal family of the former Song Dynasty.
Wang Lin was silent for a moment and said softly: "It's my fault. I'll go check on her soon."
"Chen'er is happy." Zhao Chen nodded repeatedly, crying with joy.
But for Zhao Chen, who had just begun to be ignorant of remembering things, he was actually gradually having some complicated thoughts, such as why he couldn't call the emperor his father like other princes... but almost everyone was avoiding this matter.
Incredibly passionate.
Zhu Lian just touched on some words.
Zhu Lian cried again when he heard this: "Your Majesty..."
His prince is still young and he can't shirk the blame even if he wants to.
And after the Kong family became Duke Yansheng, they should not have any desire to covet imperial power.
Sometimes Zhu Lian feels deeply lucky that God has been so kind to her, allowing her to meet such a rare man in this life.
However, Your Majesty, after so long, has he forgotten someone?"
If it weren't for the emperor's personal care, Zhao Chen would definitely not be spared.
Zhu Lian said softly: "Chen'er, why don't you follow the etiquette mentioned by mother and kowtow to your father?"
Of course, this is not the key to the problem. The key is that Wang Lin does not want to hurt a woman who promised her body to him.
He knew that even though he had no intention, he had neglected and even hurt Kong Lin.
Wang Lin was silent for a while, nodded slightly and said, "Yes."
"What's wrong with her?"
…
Moreover, this child has a weak and quiet personality, somewhat like a girl.
The Emperor is definitely a chore.
Wang Lin gently stroked Zhu Lian's soft belly.
Zhu Lian then calmed down and said with a slightly serious expression: "Your Majesty, it's not really bad news. I was just joking with you.
But this cannot be said.
In fact, with Zhu Lian's means and mind, it was impossible for her not to imagine the huge risks in the future, so she strictly controlled the people around her in the palace and sealed off Zhao Chen's true life experience.
Now that she is pregnant and about to give birth to a child, although this is a natural thing, it also represents Zhu Lian's full return.
The emperor's ambition and courage are beyond ordinary people's imagination.
I am thinking, I am thinking, should I ask a sister to help His Majesty take care of the imperial study?"
The harem cannot interfere in politics.
Zhu Lian has no political ambitions.
Just keep it tacit and have a tacit understanding.
The reason why he chose Zhu Lian was not only due to the special emotions deep in his heart, and Zhu Lian's own abilities, but also because he valued Zhu Lian's simple family background so that he would not cause trouble in the future.
Seeing that the emperor agreed, Zhu Lian was very happy.
Wang Lin nodded slowly, with emotion in his heart.
He praised Yu Zhongchao as a model of integrity for ministers throughout the dynasties. He also presented a plaque with the emperor's handwriting saying "Model for Hundreds of Officials" and ordered Cabinet Minister Wu Min to deliver it to Yu's home in person with great fanfare.
After all, he and Kong Lin had no emotional basis, and the original marriage had a strong political overtone, so he later went to war in the north and south, and was busy with state affairs, and all of a sudden...
Not only was the emperor willing to keep him by his side, but he also copied the prince in everything he did, and he also publicly named him a county prince. He was not afraid of future political risks, which should be something ordinary people cannot do.
That's right, this kid is keeping count in his mind.
And as long as he is alive, in fact... no ambitious woman will dare to take the lead.
Moreover, the probability of this risk occurring is very low.
Many people have gradually forgotten her existence.
"After such a long time, Your Majesty has not visited the Kong family sister again. She thought that she was not favored by His Majesty, or even rejected by His Majesty, so she has been closing the palace garden for the past two years, staying behind closed doors and staying in the palace garden every day.
Recite scriptures, cultivate your moral character...
Zhu Lian hugged Chen'er and cried non-stop. Wang Linzi told mother and son at the side about the family's family problems, and gave Chen'er a token, allowing him to come to the imperial study room at any time.
Zhao Chen, who was less than five years old, was brought to the emperor and his mother.
He didn't pay much attention to this child, and with a little comfort, the child was relieved of the haze of the past.
"Lian'er, if you are willing, from today on, let Zhao Chen regard me as his father."
Wang Lin laughed.
Zhao Chen suddenly became happy. This child with a dull personality kowtowed to the ground clumsily. Wang Lin smiled, stood up and hugged him, and said harmoniously: "Chen'er, I will make you the county king today. From today on,
Are you happy that you are also our Highness the County Prince of Dayan?"
Zhu Lian was the only woman among the women in the harem appointed by the emperor to assist in handling government affairs, and was equivalent to Wang Lin's secretary-general.
In fact, rebellion has always been the behavior of a few careerists. After the Zhao family of the former Song Dynasty destroyed the Chai family of the Later Zhou Dynasty, why didn't anyone from the Chai family rise up in rebellion?
For Wang Lin, it is definitely impossible to hide something. Even if he hides it now, he will not be able to hide it in the future.
But so what? What happened to Zhao Huan back then is open to public opinion.
Wang Lin was suddenly shocked and his face turned red.
Kong Lin's bright and charming but somewhat vague face suddenly appeared in front of Wang Lin's eyes.
Zhu Lian was deeply moved to the extreme and deeply emotional. If she hadn't been pregnant, she would have promised her in the royal study.
Zhu Lian knew his special feelings for Zhu Lian, and so did he himself.
Wang Lin thought for a while, took an edict from the imperial desk, and handed it to Zhu Lian.
It is actually feasible to replace Zhu Lian with Kong Lin.
Zhu Lian looked at the emperor carefully, and when he saw his confused look, he couldn't help but sigh: "Your Majesty, you are really... the younger sister of the Kong family!"
My concubine went to see her yesterday and saw a charming daughter of the Kong Sheng family. Currently, she is described as Zhuhao. She is isolated in the palace and is like a cold palace. Moreover, because His Majesty has never been to her palace, so in this harem...
…”
The changing world is human nature and inevitable.
The man who saved her from danger and gave her countless favors.
He asked himself to try his best to be equally exposed to rain and dew, and try not to favor one person exclusively.
This is the emperor's canonization edict on Zhao Chen.
Unless Chen'er in the future has his head in trouble, he would dare to act like a mantis and shake a tree, betray his father who raised him, and let go of his good life to commit any rebellion.
When Chen'er grows up, if his character is acceptable, let him be the Prince of Peace for the rest of his life.
Kong Lin's talents and knowledge are even better than Zhu Lian's. With a little training, there will be no problem in serving as secretary-general.
Wang Lin smiled, lifted up the excited Zhu Lian, hugged her tightly, and gently comforted her: "Lian'er, you don't have to be like this, he is less than five years old this year, and he was just a stranger when he was raised by me.
Baby, in my heart, your child is my child, and I will treat everyone equally."
"Father? My son, please pay homage to your father!"
I am worried that I will no longer be able to accompany you as my body becomes more and more inconvenient. I wonder if it would be better for me to ask my sister Kong Lin to come to the Imperial Study Room to take care of Your Majesty and help His Majesty with some state affairs?"
Because the emperor's attitude will definitely affect the atmosphere of the harem.
Sensing the emperor's tenderness and doting, a blush appeared on Zhu Lian's charming face: "There are two good news and one bad news. Which one will your Majesty listen to first?"
Zhu Lian was ashamed, happy and anxious when he heard this.
In fact, the dedicated efforts of Zhu Lian and the female officials in Shangguanqing Dynasty have reduced Wang Lin's workload a lot.
After all, he is just a child.
Due to all this, not only did Kong Lin isolate herself, but even the female deacons in the palace treated her as a concubine who had been relegated to the cold palace.
"I will definitely teach Zhao Chen... He is actually Your Majesty's son. Without Your Majesty, he would definitely not be alive until now."
And these may have spread to the Confucius Mansion in Shandong.
If he has a different intention, hehe, Wang Lin can only hehe now.
Zhu Lian, who often lived in the imperial study to help the emperor with official affairs, was dressed in a white palace skirt and looked graceful. He came out of the inner room and hesitated to speak.
But there's nothing he can do now.
He had carefully observed Zhao Chen and found that he did not have any luck at all.
She was so moved that she fell in tears at the emperor's feet.
What she could repay the emperor with was nothing more than full love and affection.
Wang Lin sighed and said, "Well, we won't be able to get close to each other for a few more months. However, it should be fine in three or four months. I'll be careful and nothing will happen."
He really forgot that he had such a saint from the Kong family in his harem.
Zhao Chen is the son of Zhao Huan.
Wang Lin also didn't want to hide the facts.
Besides, it can only be like this. Although this is Zhao Huan's bloodline, it is still Zhu Lian's heart and soul after all. Since he loves Zhu Lian, he must love Wujiwu.
This is definitely the truth.
Of course he had asked about his mother, Zhu Lian, but Zhu Lian just excused herself every time.
She should be the first among the women to be pregnant and have a body to be demanded by the emperor.
But how could she dare to refuse at this moment, so she could only accept it perfunctorily before saying anything else.
After Zhu Lian left with his personal female officer, Wang Lin took a deep breath and thought about Kong Lin again.
The female officer Shangguan Qing walked in with light steps, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, would you like me to go to Concubine Lin's Palace to stand in front of Your Majesty?"
Wang Lin looked at the smart, kind and considerate female official in front of him, smiled slightly and said: "No need, I will finish reviewing these memorials later and go there in person."
