Back to modern times, Her Majesty the Queen and I are both laid off

Chapter 55 I don’t want to create another killing karma for this

The next day, Lin Luo got up from the bed early. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Jiang Li sitting on the sofa, holding a book and reading - one of the books he brought back last night. A brief history of China.

The morning light from the balcony came in and reflected on her body, giving her a sense of elegance and tranquility.

Lin Luo knew that the emperor might not have slept since he was woken up last night, but after several hesitations, he still pretended not to know and asked: "Are you up so early again?"

"Ah."

"The book you are holding is the book I brought back for you. There is also a set of Zizhi Tongjian in the box, written by Sima Guang of the Northern Song Dynasty. The writing is much more detailed than the one you have in your hand, and it is in traditional Chinese. , it’s just right for you to take a look at, so that you don’t have to guess.”

"I saw it, let Lin Banban worry about it."

As he said this, Jiang Li raised the brief history of China in his hand: "But I'll read this one first. Although this book is written quite fluently, it has the effect of failing to read history.

But some important historical events seem to have been recorded in them, and they were recorded until the Qing Dynasty.

What I want to do is to read through this book first, and then have a general understanding of the development of the next 400 years. "

"That's true. By the way, have you washed up?"

"washed."

"Then you wait for a while while I brush my teeth and wash my face, and then we go out to have breakfast."

Hearing this, Jiang Li raised his head, "Didn't you say you can't have breakfast to save money?"

"That was before. Now we don't have to save money for breakfast. Please wait for me for a while."

As he spoke, Lin Luo glanced at her again, turned and went into the bathroom to wash up, then took his wallet, cell phone and keys, and led Jiang Li out.

At this time, around seven o'clock in the morning, all the students went to school to start reading early. Those who were working were still sleeping, and the community was quiet and seemed a little deserted.

After walking out of the corridor and breathing in the fresh morning air, Lin Luo raised his hand and swept around, "Look, this is a completely different world from Daqi, right? So you have to learn how to live in this new world. "

At this point, he turned around and asked, "Do you know how to learn?"

Jiang Li followed the words and asked, "How to learn?"

“Abandon your previous thinking and living habits, forget your previous identity and situation, and treat everything as brand new.”

Lin Luo pointed to the surroundings, "That's the building, that's the green belt, that's the car. There are scenery everywhere here that are different from Daqi. Just think of this as a brand new world, and think of yourself as a new baby. Babbling, toddling, in short, let go of the past and welcome a new life."

After listening to these words quietly, Jiang Lim remained silent for a while, then asked aloud: "Is Lin Banban telling me these things because of last night?"

"Yeah, but I don't mean anything else. I just want you to stop being so nervous. This is not Daqi. You don't need to be as worried and scared as before."

"."

Jiang Li didn't answer, just stared at him quietly, his eyes deep and silent, his thoughts incomprehensible.

Lin Luo felt a little uncomfortable when she looked at her, "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you blame me for getting up at night? In fact, I rarely get up at night. I usually sleep until dawn. I drank too much soup last night. It was an accident. The worst I can do is keep a bottle in the room."

"Thank you."

As he was speaking, he suddenly heard this thank you, and the words in Lin Luo's mouth stopped abruptly.

thanks?

He expected that the emperor might dislike him for getting up at night and disturbing her dreams; he might turn the page away with silence and no words, but he did not expect to hear a thank you.

Thank you for anything.

Thank you for his guidance and relief?Or thank him for keeping bottles in the room in the future?

"I don't know how many years have passed, but I haven't had a good night's sleep."

Jiang Li retracted his gaze and spoke in a very soft tone, which sounded like talking to himself and talking:

"When I'm awake, I'm worried that some eunuchs will break in and peek into my daughter's body while I'm asleep. Even when I'm asleep, I can't sleep well, and I'm always disturbed by nightmares. I dream that the clan ministers know that I'm a woman. Join forces to force me to abdicate.

After being deposed, my fate will be as miserable as that of the daughter of Emperor Xiaoming of the Pseudo-Wei Dynasty, and I will not even be able to control my life or death."

"."

Lin Luo's lips moved, and she didn't know what to say for a moment. Listening to the outpourings and worries, the scream full of panic and fear last night came to mind again, and she suddenly felt distressed for no reason.

It seems quite mean, feeling sorry for a superior emperor, but this feeling of pain has no reason and is uncontrollable.

Born into a royal family, she was supposed to be a carefree princess and enjoy the wealth. However, because her father lacked heirs, she had to rush to the throne.

At the age of sixteen or seventeen, in the prime of youth, she abandoned her girlhood and shouldered a huge burden.

His face looked calm and calm.But deep down inside, I am actually always scared and on tenterhooks. "That girl Yuan from the Northern Wei Dynasty was just born. She is a little baby with a bigger butt. She has not passed a hundred days. Even if she is not abolished, her life and death are not under her control. You are different from her."

"What's the difference between being a woman? How can the deposed emperor end up being a woman?"

"What I mean is that in your situation you won't be invalidated."

"Lin Banban is also a person who is familiar with history books. In the glorious history books, are there many deposed emperors?"

"."

Lin Luo was speechless. The emperor was still a bully.

"Okay, if you want to be so aggressive, then I have nothing to say."

Jiang Li didn't want him to say anything. She just felt something in her heart. She suddenly wanted to find someone to talk to someone about what she had been holding in her heart for these years. She lowered her eyes slightly and continued:
"According to what the late emperor said, before I was born, he had adopted the son of King Linzi as his heir apparent.

After all, King Linzi and the late emperor were both legitimate sons of Emperor Shizong and had a close relationship with each other. At that time, King Linzi died early and happened to have a son.

The son of King Linzi had been in the palace for half a year. He was pure and respectful, and had a lot of admiration for the late emperor. The late emperor was very satisfied, so he adopted him and made him king of Yingchuan first, and then made him crown prince.

Unexpectedly, not long after this incident, the late emperor received a secret report. In a private meeting with his mother and concubine, King Yingchuan said that when he ascended the throne in the future, he would definitely bring his mother into the palace and treat him as the queen mother. He also made King Linzi the emperor and enshrined him in the Imperial Ancestral Temple."

Lin Luo knew what Jiang Li said, but he didn't interrupt and just acted as a silent listener.

But that King Yingchuan is indeed... he still has some acting skills, but it's a pity that he didn't get into the role deeply and was exposed halfway through the performance.

Even if the timeline Da Qi is in does not yet have the Taoist Lord Jiajing, it cannot be used as a lesson.

But history is a spiral, and there are still similar people and similar things. What the King of Yingchuan said must have made the old emperor feel grudge. Who did he think of?

I'm afraid he thought of his father.

Emperor Shizong of Daqi.

Before Sejong, the previous emperor died suddenly after reigning for two years, leaving no heirs. He had to live with his brother, but they were still half-mothers. Although there was a dispute between the two empresses, there was no one who recognized him as the father. question.

But this kind of thing is by no means unknown in history, such as the Han Dynasty.

Especially in the Eastern Han Dynasty, several emperors died of heirs, and they were ultimately succeeded by the clan's side supporters.

After these side branches came to the throne, they began to pursue their biological father who was only a prince or even a marquis as the emperor.

Emperor Mu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xiao Chong of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Xiaoren of the Han Dynasty, these are all posthumous titles.

With these lessons learned, it was inevitable that the old emperor would depose the son of King Linzi as the crown prince.

Not only that, this incident may have left a shadow in the old emperor's mind: after all, other people's children belong to other people's families, and they are unreliable. No matter how you choose, there is no guarantee that the side branch will still respect him as the emperor after he succeeds to the throne.

I feel relieved that this child was born on my own.

"At that time, in the court, the late emperor abolished the old but did not establish the new. This caused hundreds of officials to go to court again and again, asking my father to choose another heir. When I was born, in order to appease the hearts of the people inside and outside the court, the late emperor declared A boy was born and he was made a prince. I originally wanted to give birth to a real boy in the future and then abolish the old and establish the new, but I didn’t want to."

Lin Luo became clearer about what happened next. To sum it up in one sentence, the old emperor had nothing to do.

The prince never changed, and eventually the former emperor passed away, and the girl in front of him ascended the throne of the Qi Dynasty.

Then her life of fear began. The late emperor was dead, no one could protect her, and she was worried about being deposed all the time.

There was just one thing that puzzled him.

"Since Your Majesty is so worried about your identity being exposed, why didn't you kill me when I found out about your daughter?"

Lin Luo has been thinking about this matter for more than ten years and has not figured it out. Even if he firmly believes that he will keep secrets, when it comes to keeping secrets, how can a living person compare to a dead person?

What's more, they had just met, so there was no way to talk about trust.

"."

After hearing this, Jiang Li was silent for a moment and shook his head.

"What does this mean, don't want to talk or don't want to kill?"

Jiang Li then shook his head, "I can't explain clearly. Lin Banban saw through my identity that day. I originally wanted to kill you, but maybe you had no desire to survive at the beginning, and you looked like you were just letting yourself be dealt with. I changed my mind.

Or maybe it is"

Speaking of this, she lowered her head, squeezed her hands quietly, and was silent for a while before saying: "When the late emperor was seriously ill, he killed everyone who knew about my daughter's life. Even my biological mother was secretly given the gift of death. die.

When Lin Banpan got a glimpse of my daughter's body, maybe I had just ascended the throne, but I still had resentment towards Huang Kao, and I didn't want to cause another murder for this matter."
