King of Song

Chapter 334

The empress dowager is Lin Zhao's great benefactor, and everyone present knows it well.

Lin Zhao was even more grateful. He didn't expect that the most honorable old lady in the Song Dynasty would come forward to rescue him. If she hadn't restrained Zhao Xu, how could he have been easily exonerated?I still wanted to find an opportunity to thank you, but I didn't expect that there would be a decree so soon.

"The minister leads the order!"

The servant said: "Uncle Weiyuan is a young man of the dynasty, and the daughter of the Chai family is a lady from a famous family. She is talented and beautiful, and a natural match. I will marry you two and marry at an optional date."

The empress dowager married Lin Zhao and Chai Minyan?

Lin Zhaoxian felt that it was a little sudden. Although the relationship with Chai Minyan had already begun and they both admired each other, they hadn't developed any further. The empress dowager had already cooked rice directly.Immediately there were some pleasant surprises. Could it be that if you survive a catastrophe, you will have a future blessing?In an instant, she hugged the beauty back, Chai Minyan is the number one beauty in Bianjing, I don't know how many people I want to envy.

Chai Minyan was a little embarrassed. Although he thought so in his heart, he was not in such a hurry. The Empress Dowager did this... Don't let others think that she is impatient. Thinking of this, she inadvertently glanced at it. Lin Zhao's pretty face flushed and she was speechless.

As for the others, Mu Sihong knew that Chai Minyan had a deep love for her husband, and Meng Ruoying knew it too.The empress dowager bestowed a marriage, even if Lin Zhao and Lin Zhao had been married directly in the execution ground today, it was impossible to count, and the identity of the first wife must be given up.

This point, Meng Ruoying also understands, is completely acceptable.Lin Zhao's status today is not what it used to be. He is already the Earl of Weiyuan. How can it be a joke for the Earl to marry a wife?The wife of an aristocratic scholar-bureaucrat must be born in a famous family. How can I do it if I come from a businessman and have a low status?
It's not that Meng Ruoying is self-deprecating, it's true, Lin Zhao's status has changed too quickly.Now her status is much higher than hers, perhaps it was Lin Zhao's honor that she was willing to marry before, but now it is his own luck that Lin Zhao is willing to marry.So Meng Ruoying took this matter very openly. Chai Minyan was Chong Yigong's niece, a former royal family, with a noble status and worthy of being the main wife.

Meng Ruoying is willing to abdicate for the virtuous, but she doesn't know what status she can have?

Zhewenxin's thinking is relatively simple. Although she had a deep love for Lin Zhaoyi when she was in the Northwest, she didn't know Lin Zhao's personal life.Don't even know if he's married?So whether there are wives or concubines, it is not known until today in Bianjing.He has a lot of confidante, Zhe Wenxin is not jealous or angry about this.

They are all from big families, and it is common to have three wives and four concubines. There are so many beauties who like it, which to some extent also shows Lin Zhao's excellence and his own vision.It's just about status, and Zhewenxin has also thought about this very practical issue. It stands to reason that Fuzhou's Zhejia daughter is qualified to be the main wife.

However, compared with the former imperial family, the niece of Duke Chongyi, and now uncle Cao Guo's adoptive daughter, she is even a bit weaker, not to mention that the empress dowager personally bestowed the marriage.

Therefore, the beauties are not jealous, they are just envious, and at the same time, they are secretly imagining their own future.

The servant said: "The Empress Dowager has already sent someone to Chongyi Gong's residence to ask, and your lord has no objection. Congratulations, Miss Chai..."

The words of the matchmaker ordered by the parents, even if the empress dowager bestows the marriage, this step is not forgotten, so it can be regarded as a well-mannered etiquette.Chai Minyan's pretty face turned redder, adding a bit of coquettishness.

The servant just looked at Meng Ruoying next to her, and said in a deep voice: "The Meng family in Jiangning was born in a scholarly family, and they married Wei Yuanbo as childhood sweethearts. Today, they are married in the court. Therefore, we mean to marry Wei Yuanbo, and they are equal wives."

Meng Ruoying suddenly burst into surprise, she didn't expect the Empress Dowager to care about herself, it was really a surprise.Three wives and four concubines, one direct wife and two equal wives, the status of equal wives is also quite high, and the status of the children they give birth to is quite high, they can be regarded as descendants of the first line, and have the right to inherit.This is already a very good ending.

Originally, they didn't care about their status, they only hoped to be with Lin Lang for the rest of their lives, and this was the biggest wish of the beauties.Of course, having a title is naturally the best.

The servant smiled and said: "Miss Meng, the Empress Dowager said that today's wedding at the execution ground was too simple. Let Uncle Wei Yuan compensate you for an exquisite wedding in the future."

"That's natural."

Lin Zhao's words immediately made Meng Ruoying a little embarrassed, her pretty face flushed, and she said in a low voice, "Thank you, Empress Dowager."

Zhewenxin felt a little sad, but he didn't expect that the empress dowager would take care of herself.The servant asked: "May I ask Miss Zhe, is it possible to get married, or is there a marriage contract?"

"No...no." The generous Zhewenxin suddenly stuttered, asking why?She could probably guess some of them, and she felt overwhelmed and excited.

The servant continued: "The Empress Dowager will send someone to Fuzhou to ask your brother Zhe Kexing, if he does not object. Of course, the most important thing is that if you do not object, Miss Zhe, you will marry Uncle Weiyuan as an equal wife."

Ping Wife... With a swipe, Zhe Wenxin's cheeks and pink neck were flushed all of a sudden, and happiness seemed to come suddenly.The empress dowager bestowed a marriage, you can marry him!

Before that, the beauties had a deep affection for Lin Zhao, but the last layer of window paper had never been pierced, and they had not yet reached the point of discussing marriage.Now the empress dowager helped them and solved this problem completely.

The happiest one was naturally Lin Zhao, who married three beauties all at once, all of whom he liked. This marriage gift was really satisfying.The three beauties feel even more happy, but it's just out of women's reserve, but they are secretly happy in their hearts.

At the same time, that thought came to Chai Minyan's mind again.The empress dowager's gift of marriage only involved her own words, and it made sense to arrange for Meng Ruoying, but Zhe Wenxin was too sudden.Chai Minyan still believed that this marriage was not for him, but for Lin Zhao.

The Empress Dowager is too kind to Lin Zhao, right?What is so special about Lin Zhao's identity?Chai Minyan felt that there were more and more mysteries about Fu Lang.But this is not important, there is a saying that marry a chicken and follow a chicken, marry a dog and follow a dog, and you will be content with your husband in this life, what do you care about those?
The only unhappy person present might be Gu Yuelun. The little girl is already sixteen or seventeen years old, which is the age when her love affair begins.Maybe it's because they grew up together, or maybe it's because Lin Zhao cared more about her, the feelings in her heart are changing.It's no longer that pure brother-sister relationship...

Intermarriage between brothers and sisters in ancient times was normal, so Gu Yuelun naturally had extravagant hopes, but his cousin seemed to turn a blind eye.The empress dowager did not have her own share in giving the marriage, so the little girl was inevitably a little sad.

The servant smiled and said, "Uncle Weiyuan, three blessings are coming, congratulations."

"Thank you." Lin Zhao accepted Yi's order and immediately ordered someone to entertain him.

Mr. Zhong said with a smile: "To put it another way, redressing a wronged person, becoming an earl, and marrying a beautiful wife are also three blessings. Brother Dongyang is so lucky, I really envy you."

What does it mean to survive a catastrophe without dying?This is Lin Zhao.After the news spread, Sima Guang sighed even more.Shao Yong's prediction was right, there was no danger, he survived the catastrophe, and the peach blossoms were in full bloom...

Cao Jian lost his usual activity and kept silent. Lin Zhao couldn't help being a little surprised, and said, "Brother Cao..."

"Impossible." Cao Jian waved his hands again and again and said, "We used to be called brothers and sisters, but I'm afraid we can't do it now...I'm afraid we have to call you uncle."

Uh?
Everyone immediately remembered that Uncle Cao Guo recognized Chai Minyan as his righteous daughter, isn't he Cao Jian's aunt?Now that Chai Minyan refers to marrying Lin Zhao, then this generation is naturally higher than Cao Jian, a veritable uncle!

No wonder Cao Jian was silent today, a little embarrassed, and there was a respectful look between his words and deeds, so it was for this reason.

Although she is younger than Cao Jian, but she is his aunt, Chai Minyan is a little embarrassed, and Lin Zhao also laughs, not expecting such a plot.In this way, isn't he the son-in-law of Cao Yu, the niece-in-law of the Empress Dowager?It seems that his seniority is still above that of the emperor!Thinking of this, Lin Zhao couldn't help laughing.

Cao Jian is accepting it and gradually getting used to it.But is his respect just because Chai Minyan is his grandfather's adopted daughter?Is there any other reason?

It was all because of the jade pendant of the rising sun and auspicious clouds!

Cao Jian himself didn't believe it, but today at the execution ground he finally understood that it was because of Lin Zhao that his grandfather and aunt were extremely nervous.

The owner of the Rising Sun and Auspicious Clouds Jade Pendant is Lin Zhao, but who is his real identity?What is so magical about that piece of jade?Cao Jian was very curious.Before that, he had had contact with Lin Zhao. He knew that Lin Zhao came from a humble background and seemed to be a domestic servant. How could he be related to his own family and the royal family?

Cao Jian couldn't hold back his curiosity, so he plucked up the courage to ask his grandfather. Cao Yi hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to tell the truth.

Keeping it a secret from Cao Jian is not an option. He has already participated in some things, and his curiosity is strong.The more you don't tell him, he just wants to find out, and a few inadvertent words and deeds arouse suspicion from others, and it may be a bad thing.Instead of this, it's better to tell him directly that his grandson has grown up and will definitely take on Cao's heavy responsibility in the future. This matter can be regarded as an experience for him!
Of course, Cao Yi also has selfish intentions. Cao Jian and Lin Zhao are about the same age, so they get in touch with each other more on weekdays and grow together, which will be of great benefit to the Cao family in the future.

"Don't blame me for having a adopted daughter who is younger than you. You called aunt for nothing, and it's not wronged!"

Cao Jian was a little confused, what does this have to do with Chai Minyan?But this sudden aunt really made him a little embarrassed.

Cao Yu said: "It stands to reason that you should call her cousin in the future."

"Auntie?"

"That's right, you can see that she has a deep affection for Lin Zhao, and your aunt is about to give her a marriage! Because Lin Zhao is my nephew, your cousin!"

nephew?Who is the uncle's nephew?Reminiscent of the abnormal behavior of the Empress Dowager, Cao Jian said in surprise: "Could it be that he is..."

"That's right, he is the only son of Emperor Renzong, the true son of the Great Song Dynasty. Although she was not born by your aunt, but she is the aunt, and I can barely be an uncle."

Cao Jian, as the grandson of the Cao family, often goes to and from the court on weekdays, and some rumors have been heard.Therefore, as soon as Cao Yi said it, he immediately thought of many things, and he made Lin Zhao's identity clear in an instant.

Cao Yu said in a deep voice: "The matter is very important. I didn't dare to tell you easily before, but now you know it. You can save yourself the seriousness. You should know what to do, right?"

"Yes, grandson should keep his mouth shut!" Cao Jian was secretly startled. The existence of Renzong's parents and sons was undoubtedly a great threat to the emperor Zhao Xu back then. Can matters involving the seizure of the throne be small?
"More than that, everything is as usual, don't let others see the clues easily. If Zhao Xu knows about his existence, Dongyang will definitely die." Cao Yi sighed softly: "Do you now understand why I want to recognize the righteous girl? Lin Zhao is an uncle, so naturally he should be more respectful. But he doesn't know his identity now, so you have to pay attention to your words and deeds, and just do your best as usual."

Knowing who Lin Zhao is, Cao Jian's mood has not yet calmed down. He suddenly thought, what is grandfather going to do with such a sensitive identity?What is the Cao family going to do?
"Grandfather, why do you value him so much..." Cao Jian naturally thought of an answer!
Cao Bi shook his head and said, "I don't know either. This time it is a last resort and we must save his life. As for the future... let's talk about it in the future!" Although they are full of expectations, they can't say where the young master will go in the future.

"Yes!" Cao Jian naturally knew the importance of such a big event.

Cao Yi immediately said: "Now our two families are relatives by marriage on the surface and in fact, and he was released from prison without charge today, so you should thank him."

"Yes!"

In the evening, when he came to Jiangnan Residence to congratulate him, Cao Jian kept telling himself to be peaceful.But when he saw Lin Zhao, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

However, because of Aunt Chai Minyan, there was a little embarrassment and respect, and no one doubted it.

According to the order of the Empress Dowager, Lin Zhao embraced three beauties at the same time.Three joys came to the door, it was so lively, everyone congratulated Lin Zhao and the three beauties.

Lin Zhao thanked them one by one, but the three beautiful girls who were waiting to be married were so shy that they all hid in the room, not daring to come out to see people for a while.Chai Ruona also came here after hearing the news, and now he is a veritable uncle, so Lin Zhao was naturally polite.

Ayun started immediately, and quickly rearranged a table of dishes. Everyone sat in a circle, and several beauties were in the back hall, shy and happy.

"Congratulations to Uncle Weiyuan!" Everyone raised their glasses to celebrate Lin Zhao's three blessings.

After Lin Zhao thanked him, he said in a deep voice, "If it wasn't for your great help, how could I have such a blessing?"

Zhong Shidao took the lead in shaking his head and said: "Brother Dongyang was framed by Li Fugui because of my uncle. The Zhong family should help each other. Due to reality, our actions were slow, and Brother Dongyang was wronged."

"Is General Chong Yong okay?" Lin Zhao asked with a smile.

"Fortunately, it's just that I have been in prison for a long time, and I am a little old, and my body is slightly unwell, so I can't come to congratulate Brother Dongyang."

"Where, I should go to pay a visit to the old general Zhong." Lin Zhao greeted Jing Sili and Liu Changzuo, "I want to thank you two most this time, and I am most sorry for you two. Because of me, those soldiers in Dashun City will not die in vain!"

When it comes to the scene in Dashun City that night, everyone can't help but feel sad, especially Jing Sili, those are soldiers brought out by him, and the feelings are the deepest.

"Now that Dongyang has been acquitted, Li Fugui's crimes have been clearly revealed. I believe he will plead guilty soon, and he will take revenge for those soldiers who died!" Jing Sili's eyes were slightly red when he spoke, but he thought about it. Today is a day of great joy, so I forced myself to smile.

Lin Zhao said in a deep voice, "I hope General Wang Shao can bring Li Fugui to justice. I really want to kill the traitor and avenge the soldiers."

"Okay!" Several people were also fighting against each other.

Seeing this, Chai Ruona smiled and said: "Dongyang, my sister is marrying you, you have to treat her well, otherwise I won't agree!"

"That's natural!"

The Chai family expressed their support for the marriage between Chai Minyan and Lin Zhao.Lin Zhao's kindness to the Chai family comes first, and the most rare thing is that Chai Minyan has a deep affection for Lin Zhaoyi, and they are willing to fulfill their daughter's happiness.Furthermore, the Empress Dowager bestowed the marriage, can this matter be declined?
As for Uncle Cao's recognition of Chai Minyan as a righteous daughter, the Chai family did not object. Having the support of the Cao family and the Empress Dowager was good for the safety and development of the Chai family.Just what about the future?This time it seems to have offended the officials and Mr. Wang!But son-in-law Lin Zhao's future is very promising, who knows what will happen in the future?

Gu Qi was very happy today, firstly his nephew was safe and sound, he was also conferred a title, and even had marriage contracts with several good girls.Everything was so beautiful, especially the empress dowager's acknowledgment, which made him feel that 20 years of obscurity and perseverance were worthwhile.Feeling so relieved for a moment, I couldn't help crying, and I wanted to tell the good news to Jinghe Layman who is still in Yingtian Mansion in time.

It's just that there is some distance between Bianjing and Yingtianfu, so the news will inevitably be delayed for a few days.However, Luoyang is much closer to Bianjing, so you can receive news as soon as possible.

For Shao Yong, everything was expected, and he was very confident in his calculations.On the night after the incident, he saw the clues from the astrology, and when he received a letter from Sima Guang later the next day, he couldn't help smiling.

But when he saw the content, Shao Yong gradually became thoughtful.

In order to save Lin Zhao, the Cao family stepped forward, and the Empress Dowager also stepped forward. Shao Yong was a little curious about the unusualness.Could it be that Lin Zhao has something to do with the Cao family... He is the master of Zhongxing, and he will be in charge of the palace in the future... The palace, the empress dowager...

Suddenly, Shao Yong seemed to think of something!
As for why the girl from the Chai family begged the empress dowager for her lover, Shao Yong didn't quite believe it.He is proficient in the study of astrological calculations, understands more things than others, and has a longer-term perspective, so he can't help but have more reasonable associations.

Could it be that he is...

now it's right!Let me just say, there is no turmoil in the world right now, and it is impossible to change the dynasty, so it can only be... In this way, it is logical.

Shao Yong smiled slightly, suddenly looking forward to a beautiful era that is coming...
