When Zhao Chen saw the good brother he longed for again, Zhao Bocong had already put on the mask made of pure iron.
Seeing Zhao Bocong, who had been by his side for so many years, suddenly become like this, Zhao Chen really couldn't accept it for a while.
"Bo Cong, what are you trying to do? I sent people to find you before..."
"A certain family was investigating some things before, and I just came back with some clues." Zhao Bocong bowed and saluted, "I also apologized to Your Highness. Things were a little anxious before, so I borrowed the crown prince's token that Your Highness gave to me. The guards of the Prince's Mansion led the troops and captured Lin Yifei, the guard of the East City Gate."
"It doesn't matter!" Faced with this apology, Zhao Chen didn't have the slightest doubt, "You won't harm me. Giving you the token will allow you to act cheaply at critical moments. There is no need to be so cautious.
Although you and I are not close relatives, we are better than blood relatives. I have never doubted you! "
Although he had known this result for a long time, Zhao Bocong was still a little moved after hearing these words.
His final path must be an official career. No matter what his final status is, having such a person behind him who trusts him without reservation is a blessing.
"Thank you..." Zhao Bocong wanted to bow, but in the end he sneered, "That's all, let someone explain this to His Highness."
From Zhao Bocong's story, Zhao Chen finally understood why Nianhan dared to run wild in Luoyang with a small number of troops.
Hulao Pass was indeed successfully attacked by Nianhan. Although Hulao Pass is not in disrepair these years, it is indeed not as majestic as it was back then, although it is still dangerous.
But it has slowly withdrawn from the battlefield of Tingling Pass.
After all, after the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the name of Hulao Pass appeared less and less. As a barrier, it was indeed good, but as a pass, he could not stop Nianhan.
As for Luoyang, it is because of Lin Yifei's existence.
"Qin Hui is henpecked, whether it's because of his wife's status as Wang, or because his mother-in-law is really tough, in short, in the Qin family, he is suppressed by his wife.
Although Qin Hui had never given birth to a boy or a girl, he still had Qin Hui firmly in his hands.
And because she was afraid that Qin Hui's pampering would put her in a declining family, she was also very worried about Qin Hui's women.
Although Qin Hui is allowed to have concubines, he is absolutely not allowed to give birth to children by Qin Hui's other women.
Once Qin Hui's concubine was pregnant, the Wang family knew about it, and wanted to get rid of her while Qin Hui was away. But after all, she was still a prostitute and did not dare to do the murder, so she could only kick the concubine out of the house. , she is not allowed to enter Qin Hui's sight again.
That concubine was originally from a poor family, and she got in touch with Qin Hui just because of her beauty. Now that she was frightened by Wang, she naturally didn't dare to say anything more, so she turned around and ran away.
Qin Hui knew about this but didn't know about the fetus in the concubine's arms, so he didn't dare to say anything more and let the matter pass slowly.
After that, as he could not protect himself, he gave up the thought of taking concubines, and according to Wang's idea, he took his uncle's illegitimate son into his lap as an adopted son.
Who knew that the concubine who was blown away was also lucky.
Mrs. Wang was afraid that this woman would appear again and cause trouble for her, so she simply found another family for her, that is, the Xianyou Lin family.
She thought that she and Qin Hui would be completely cut off from now on. Who knew that the boy from the Xianyou Lin family was still a love interest, and he was fascinated by this woman.
Recognized all the children.
Named Lin Yifei. "
When he heard this, Zhao Chen was already a little stunned.
"This... Lin Yifei is actually Qin Hui's biological son?"
"Hey, let's not talk about Your Highness, even a certain family was stunned and couldn't believe it when they knew about this." Zhao Bocong smiled helplessly.
"But how did you know about such a secret thing, Bo Cong?"
"....Actually...it's about this..." Zhao Bocong suddenly became embarrassed at this time, "This kind of thing is not so secretive in our Song Dynasty. After all, our Song Dynasty's tradition that is..
In official terms, this is a group of rough old men who are as gossipy as women.
Although a certain family doesn't know why they use gossip to describe this kind of thing, in my Song Dynasty, whether officials or common people, he was indeed very gossipy.
This kind of thing has become commonplace over the years.
At that time, there were rumors about various erotic affairs between Ouyang Gong and his niece, which made Ouyang Gong almost cause no big trouble in the main hall.
Then there were Wang Anshi and his daughter-in-law.
In addition, the dog raised by General Di Qing at that time also had horns and wore yellow robes to patrol the soldiers and horses.
The concubine of Prime Minister Han Qi's family was taken away to perform a dance for General Di Qing...
This kind of trivial matter has become a topic of conversation between officials in the DPRK and China. No one really cares about whether it is true or false.
It's just that although most of them are false, there is indeed a lot of truth. You only need to have someone check it to find out the authenticity of the matter. "
Zhao Chen seemed to understand at this time, but then he thought...
"Then why didn't I know anything about it?"
"...Which official in the world would risk his life or death to tell His Highness such a thing?"
"..."
Zhao Bocong watched Zhao Chen finally break away from the curious baby state before continuing to talk.
"Lin Yifei didn't know his identity at the beginning. He was taken good care of by his adoptive father in the Lin family, and he didn't treat him badly even when he was studying and practicing calligraphy.
But as time passed, the Lin family was not without rumors, and his mother died of illness.
Before he died, he told him the truth, and then asked him to bring his two "brothers" to the land of Luoyang, hoping to get a better background.
This matter was suppressed by the Wang family. She did not dare to kill anyone, and her family background was not as good as before, but she still refused to let Qin Hui and Lin Yifei recognize each other.
Finally, out of desperation, Wang and Qin Hui made a deal.
Qin Hui never recognized Lin Yifei for the rest of his life, and he also did not allow Lin Yifei to change his surname back.
Of course, as a price, the Wang family will use their family connections to ask their brother Wang Huan to come forward to find a family background for them, and at the same time hang their identity on Wang Huan.
In this way, Qin Hui had nothing to do with them at all.
Even after Zhang Yong took charge of the Imperial City Division, he did not know about this matter and did not find out that Lin Yifei, who had become the deputy general of Luoyang North City, was Qin Hui's biological son.
As for Lin Yifei's two brothers, Lin Yiming and Lin Yi'e now also have some manpower of their own in the army.
This time, it doesn't matter whether Lin Yiming and Lin Yi'e are involved. What's important is that Lin Yifei must be one of Qin Hui's back-up men! "
These words made Zhao Chen nod his head repeatedly, and at the same time he was quite surprised. He did not expect that things down here would be so chaotic.
At the same time, he also chuckled towards Zhao Bocong.
"Fortunately, You Bocong was smart enough to see Lin Yifei's true identity. Otherwise, he would have opened the city gate at the critical moment and Luoyang would have been in great danger."
But after hearing Zhao Chen's praise, Zhao Bocong still shook his head.
"Your Highness is thinking too simply. If Nianhan really planned to use Lin Yifei, he would have already broken through the city last night.
How could you wait for this opportunity for me?
In recent years, in addition to studying the art of war, a certain family has been studying the leadership styles of many Jin people's generals day and night.
Nianhan is a standard weirdo.
He always appears in the most overlooked places when no one expects it.
This made it even more obvious for Lin Yifei that he didn't seem to place his hopes in the hands of such a junior.
If so, then Lin Yifei is just a bait! "
"What does Bo Cong mean?"
"You dare me, I beg you to temporarily take over the position of commander of the Imperial City Department!"
At this time, Zhao Bocong formally put forward his request, and Zhao Chen agreed without any hesitation.
At the same time, he also solemnly promised that when his father Zhao Huan returns, he will make Zhao Bocong the official commander of the Imperial City Division and even join the six departments at all costs.
However, Zhao Bocong never told him the truth of the matter.
He can be the commander of the Imperial City Division, but Zhao Bocong, a descendant of Taizu, must die before Zhao Chen ascends the throne.
That night, the north gate of Luoyang slowly opened, and the Jin army rushed in directly under the darkness of the night. In the gate hole, the capital's garrison general Liu Xi personally led his troops to ambush.
Countless arrows fell on the heads of the Jin soldiers like a rainstorm, causing them immediate heavy losses.
At the same time, the city gates on the east and west sides were also opened immediately, and the Luoyang cavalry outflanked Nian Han.
But after they started fighting, they did find that these soldiers and horses were obviously too few, but by the time Liu Xi discovered this problem, it was already too late.
Because Nianhan once again used the method of attacking from the east to the west. After the soldiers from the east city gate rushed out, he deceived the city gate by pretending that the Luoyang soldiers were returning to the city to report, and then attacked with elite troops to occupy the city gate.
The golden men hiding in the dark rushed in and were about to completely invade Luoyang City.
And at this moment, in the east city, a group of soldiers and horses were waiting nervously. At the front of them was a strong man wearing armor, holding a knife in front of his chest with his right hand, and constantly stroking the blade with his left hand.
All that came to my mind were the words that guy said to me.
"You are not suitable to be the commander of the Imperial City, but His Majesty still gives you enough opportunities and hopes that you can live a better life beyond your capabilities.
You have too many problems, too many objections, and even your past is very bad.
As a smart person, you should know what your final result would be if the government hadn't suppressed the voices of all opponents.
Now you have let the officials down, and now is your only chance to save it.
Victory, you still have a way to survive.
If you fail, you will bring shame to the official family. "
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Yong roared as he looked at the golden men rushing into the city.
"Imperial City Secretary, follow me and charge!"
