Chapter 103 Just Be Your Easter Bed
It was very quiet in the ancestral hall.

Qin Luan could hear her own heartbeat.

The truth that my grandfather said was too surprising, but after thinking about it, it made sense.

How could the empress dowager and the emperor be so afraid of such a superior status?

Marquis Yongning calmed down a little, and said: "At that time, the first emperor was already at the end of his battle, and he was seriously ill. Before he died, the first emperor summoned this old man alone."

The serious condition has made the first emperor mentally exhausted.

Zhao Lin's death was a heavy blow.

The one he trusted most at that time was the Marquis of Yongning who was the first to respond to him and followed him for so many years.

The first emperor explained that he now has only one son, Zhao Li.

If the Yan family and Zhao Li are in peace, the throne will be passed on in this way. Although Zhao Li is young, under the guidance of Xu Taifu and others, he can still achieve something.

If one day, the pair of mother and son went wrong, let Lin Xuan hand over Zhao Lin's child.

Lin Xuan insisted that Zhao Lin fell off the horse by accident, and even the late emperor did not change his words, but the late emperor believed that Lin Xuan's temperament must have his considerations in it.

And he must know the whereabouts of the child.

"If it's a boy, Lin Xuan will teach him very well," Qin Yin repeated the words of the former emperor, "If it's a daughter, then adopt one from the clan, and you all help him well, so that the world can't be messed up again. "

Qin Yin spoke these two sentences very slowly.

It was as if he was recreating the situation of the late emperor, a man who had fought for decades and suffered from old injuries, so that he came to the end before he reached his old age.

In these words, Qin Luan heard deep helplessness.

After all, it was the fifth year of Jianlong.

In the first five years of its construction, the territory of Dazhou is not what it is today. Inside, there is a lot of waste waiting to be rebuilt, and outside is eye-catching. Internal and external troubles are ten times worse than today.

But the first emperor was already unable to support Da Zhou.

With the 16-year-old Zhao Li and his mother, it is impossible to establish a new young emperor.

Once the internal inheritance is in turmoil, the armies of Xiliang and Nanshu will come to the city in an instant, no matter who is sitting on the dragon chair, the land will be rekindled, and the Great Zhou will no longer exist.

But the first emperor believed that with the passage of time, the Great Zhou would stabilize and the ministers would operate properly inside and out.

At that time, if Zhao Li is not a qualified emperor, then change it, maybe it is a good time.

"The old man has accepted the last emperor's edict for emergencies," Qin Yin pointed to the tablet, "just behind your uncle's tablet, there is a hidden compartment."

Shortly thereafter, after the death of the first emperor, the emperor ascended the throne and followed the former prince as King of Wu.

After 20 years, almost no one in the court would talk about King Wu.

After all, the one who left suddenly, although Lin Xuan and others testified, the relationship between the eldest princess and the emperor and empress dowager is not bad, but it is better to have one more thing than one less thing, and it always feels bad to mention too much.

Qin Yin never mentioned it, he wished that the emperor would not remember King Wu, and also forgot that King Wu had a posthumous child whose whereabouts were unknown.

However, the empress dowager remembered.

As A Luan told him, in the eighth year of Qingyuan, the empress dowager became suspicious of the eight-year-old Lin Fan.

After hearing what his grandfather said, Qin Luan took a deep breath, quickly organized his thoughts, and said, "But firstly, the Duke has already left, how can you be sure that the Duke must be?"

"The old man has suspected it for a long time," Qin Yin smiled. "The more jealous the queen mother and the emperor are, the more likely he is. In the past two years, he has faintly looked like King Wu in his eyebrows. After a few years, he will become more and more Like. At that time, not only the old man, but anyone with a discerning eye can see it."

After saying this, Qin Yin looked at Qin Luan, pondered for a moment, and added another paragraph.

"Before Lin Xuan died, he and the old man revealed Lin Fan's identity."

That year, Qin Yin rushed to the front line full of anger. He felt that Lin Xuan's use of troops at that time was simply unreasonable.

There is a sense of eagerness in every step, and it can even be said to be aggressive.

Such a sharp way of marching is not like Lin Xuan.

Until he saw Lin Xuan himself in the big tent.

He looked sick, coughed constantly, and was thin.

"The old man hardly dared to admit it, so the old man asked him, did he die? He replied that his own body knew it well, and his time was numbered.

Before he died, he wanted to expand the country for Dazhou, especially Xizhou City, which can be attacked and defended. Dazhou must take it.

With Xizhou in hand, the border of Dazhou would be much better. If not, it would be a thorn in the flesh and a thorn in the side for the next few or ten years. "

As Qin Yin spoke, he sighed again.

How could he not understand these military situations?He was worried about Lin Xuan.

Three days later, Lin Xuan's old injury completely relapsed, and his condition became worse day by day, and it didn't take long for him to collapse.

Qin Yin went to visit, and mentioned Lin Fan to Lin Xuan, a father should live to raise his son no matter what.

Lin Xuan shook his head, he knew he couldn't do it.

"The old man had a sudden heart at the time, and told him that the old man wanted to be his son and daughter's family." Speaking of this, Qin Yin glanced at Qin Luan again, feeling very complicated, "Lin Xuan laughed, and he said, 'Just do it. Your east bed'."

Qin Yin has two granddaughters.

Qin Yuan was still a baby at that time, much younger than Lin Fan.

Lin Xuan knew that the old Hou Ye was referring to Qin Luan, who had been ordered to be a phoenix since he was born.

He understood and agreed.

The only one who can win the phoenix is ​​the real dragon.

Therefore, Lord Hou was sure that Lin Fan was the posthumous son of the former prince.

After that year, Qin Yin secretly paid attention to Lin Fan.

Don't dare to get too close to alert the emperor and empress dowager, but they can't be too far away, the distance is too deliberate.

He watched Lin Fan grow up, served as the imperial bodyguard, and then served as the commander of the red guards. With such an outstanding person with all talents in civil and military affairs, he became more and more dissatisfied with the marriage between A Luan and Zhao Qi.

Of course, just like that, Qin Yin will not tell the truth.

He was loyal to the first emperor, and the most important thing was to ensure the stability of the court.

But if the emperor continues like this, how can Da Zhou be stable?
Qin Luan held Fuchen in his hand and asked: "You tell me this now, what do you want me to say to the Duke?"

Marquis Yongning looked serious and said in a deep voice: "The emperor is going too far, the late emperor's edict is in the old man's hands, but life is his, he has never met the late emperor, nor has he met the king of Wu, which way he wants to go, He decides for himself, the old man will not force him to choose."

Qin Luan nodded: "I will tell him exactly what you said."

The door of the shrine opened.

Qin Luan withdrew and looked at the dark sky.

The sunset glow has faded, and the night is sweeping in.

In the thick night, she suddenly remembered that Lin Fan asked "Who am I" in the same dark night in Xisi Hutong.

This question has troubled Lin Fan for 12 years.

What kind of mood will he be in when he finally knows the answer and understands his origin?
Qin Luan couldn't figure it out.

All she knew was that it was astringent, her chest was stuffy, her tastes were mixed, and her emotions were mixed.

　See you tomorrow~
