History of Empress Dowager Development

Chapter 212

Left Prime Minister Chen Hao has now become an upstart in the court.

Before Xu Lang sent Chen Hao to Mobei, there were not many advisers around Xu Fengxian, and only Xun Liang was the number one.Xun Liang followed Xu Fengxian for a long time, but he was not as wise as Chen Hao. Therefore, when Xu Fengxian came to the throne this time, he worshiped Chen Hao as the left minister and Xun Liang as the right minister.

Although Chen Hao was born as a monk, he is also tactful, because he was recommended by Xu Lang, and the two of them have a little friendship in private, and others can't say anything.There were only three people, Xu Lang, his wife and Chen Hao, in the small banquet. It was already mid-November, and the red clay stove, green ants and new wine, and the pavilions next to it were also quite interesting.

Among them, Chen Hao, who was nearly thirty years old, was the oldest, followed by Xu Lang and 12-year-old Lin Lang. After all, Chen Hao could even be Lin Lang's father.However, although Chen Hao occupies a high position on the right, he naturally did not dare to sit too big in front of the king and concubine. The three of them sat separately as guests and hosts, talking endlessly from the customs of Saibei to the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.

Speaking of Jiangnan, Xu Lang inevitably mentioned the matter of Lin Lang and him going south, and naturally talked about Zhu's family.

Lin Lang said with admiration: "I heard that Chen Xiang is unparalleled in Mobei. You have made a lot of contributions to Zhu Yong's execution this time."—Although the princess is honored, but Chen Xiang is old and powerful, so Lin Lang wants to give it away respectful title.

Chen Hao said politely: "The princess is too well-known, and it all depends on the emperor and the prince's wisdom."

Lin Lang said again: "I heard that you know Zhu Yong well, did you know him before?"

"I originally hid in the Jinguang Temple in the south of the Yangtze River. Zhu Yong is the head of all the officials in the south of the Yangtze River. After a long time, I will be familiar with it." Chen Hao filled the wine for the two of them with the flagon, but avoided Lin Lang's gaze.

But Lin Lang didn't want to let him go, and because of her young age, she said with a smile: "Then Mr. Chen heard about Zhu Yong's plot to rebel? Or Mr. Chen's prophetic ability, he knew about it a long time ago? Heard Mrs. Chen I'm really curious about using tricks to hide and disappear."

Chen Hao didn't expect Xu Lang to say these words to a woman in the inner house, he was startled and a little embarrassed, and said: "It's nothing more than spying on the news, there is no such thing as a prophet."

Lin Lang seemed to be unstoppable, and said to herself: "I read some idle books recently, and they talked about the resurrection of the soul. It said that after living a lifetime, a person can go back to his childhood and change his fortune. Future. If I hadn't never believed in these ghost stories, I would really suspect that Chen Xiang is also such a ghost."

This was the first time she mentioned this kind of thing in front of people, even Xu Lang was quite surprised, his eyes fell on Lin Lang's face, and he saw that she was calm and composed, as if what she said was just a joke.However, Xu Lang had doubts in his heart for a long time, so he couldn't help being secretly startled at this time.

Chen Hao quickly looked at Lin Lang with shock in his eyes.However, he is also a person who has experienced big storms, so he tried his best to calm down immediately, and said with a smile: "It's just a strange talk, the princess is joking." When I studied Lin Lang's expression, I couldn't see the clue.

Although he was a counselor under Zhu Yong's tent in his previous life and had contacts with Zhu Chengyu, he had never had contact with Zhu's inner house. He only knew that the person in front of him was once Zhu Chengyu's wife, and later died tragically in the cold palace.Now that her fate has changed drastically, she turned around and became Xu Lang's concubine. Chen Hao is very clear about the talents and status of brothers Xu Lang and Xu Shuo. I am afraid that the emperor will die in the future, and the throne may fall on Xu Lang's head.In this way, this woman will stay in the palace again?
Although he has always conceited his talent and looked down on girls, Chen Hao also felt that this woman was incredibly lucky.Although she died early in her previous life, she also married into the royal family, which is very honorable.The luck in this life will be even better, not only marrying into the royal family, but also the reputation of the King of England's love for her has already spread far and wide, as long as she can save her life, the glory and wealth will be unparalleled.

Could it be that she also lived a new life, so she avoided the Zhu family and married into the Xu family?Chen Hao was puzzled, but the expression didn't quite look like it.

Suspicious in his heart, Lin Lang on the opposite side smiled slightly and said: "Chen Xiang reads the books of Confucius and Mencius, but I like to read tales of ghosts and ghosts. I am laughing at talking about ghosts and gods in front of Chen Xiang." Already from Chen Hao's reaction Convinced of his guess, Lin Lang didn't intend to reveal his real background, so he accepted it with a smile, and waved for the maid to come over for more wine.

Chen Hao was happy to turn over this page. Just now when Lin Lang mentioned rebirth, he was really surprised. At this moment, he was secretly glad in his heart.

After seeing off Chen Hao, Xu Lang and Lin Lang also felt a little drunk.In winter, the flowers and trees in the garden withered, leaving only the pines and cypresses. Although Lin Lang was no longer afraid of the cold, she didn't dare to go out for a stroll in this season, and spent most of her time in the house.

At this moment, the charcoal fire in the warm pavilion was burning, Xu Lang couldn't put it down when he saw Lin Lang's flushed face, he stretched out his hand to embrace her, and let her sit on his lap.Touching her hand, the fingertips were a little cold, and said: "I should find a skilled craftsman later, and repair an earth dragon here."

"Why bother so much, just a few charcoal basins are enough." Lin Lang's voice was sweet and soft when she was slightly drunk, and she leaned on Xu Lang's shoulder in a gentle and coquettish manner.

Xu Lang kissed her on the forehead, "You have also met Chen Hao, and you still refuse to tell me the answer?"

"The answer is that Chen Hao is the same person as me, so he can easily control the Zhu family." Lin Lang smiled.

Xu Lang was confused by these words, "What do you mean by someone like you?"

Lin Lang was originally lying on his chest, but now she raised her head and said seriously: "Second brother, if I say that Chen Hao, like me, has lived a lifetime, do you believe it?" Xu Lang was taking a sip of the teacup with one hand Hearing the words, he almost choked, and said, "What?"

"I said that both Chen Hao and I lived a lifetime."

Xu Lang couldn't believe it, and reached out to touch her forehead, it didn't seem like she had a fever and was talking nonsense.Although he felt that this matter was really weird, he somehow believed it in his heart. It seemed that if it was true, his previous doubts would be easily resolved.However, it was sensational after all, Xu Lang was a little speechless for a while, "Does it mean that after you died, you came back to life?"

"Almost, it's just that when I came back to life, I went back to my childhood."

"Is it... the year before last?" Xu Lang's thinking was still sharp.

Now it was Lin Lang's turn to be surprised, "How do you know?"

"I remember a while ago the year before last, when you suddenly changed a lot. At that time, I wondered why you suddenly became sensible, and even your eyes changed. So that's what happened." Xu Lang believed it a little.
