Marry the God of War Lord after rebirth

Chapter 53 You Are All Good People

After one night, everything returned to calm.

The rebel army was wiped out, not a single one remained.

Only tens of thousands of corpses were left, the ground was burned by the fire, and the smell of blood was lingering.

It can be clearly seen that the blood flowing out from the gate of the palace soaked the ground, stained the vegetation red, and truly flowed like a river.

Those who survived, some rejoiced, some wept bitterly, and some searched for the bodies of their family members all over the street.

They will never forget who brought these disasters, even if it is not enough to destroy them.

The reason for Chu Qin’s rebellion was that Emperor Jianyuan killed his biological mother and killed his family members. It was a complete father-son grievance, and the people were implicated innocently. Emperor Yuan was cruel.

It seems that there are more incidents in this short half a year than in the previous ten years, and they are all related to the emperor. His image in the hearts of the people is no longer that of the former Mingjun. If the people don't give a satisfactory explanation, I'm afraid It's public dissatisfaction, which doesn't end well.

Of course, in the eyes of many people, it is not a big deal for the people to be angry. They are afraid that those scholars will criticize them verbally and in writing, and they will really make a fuss.

The courtiers were unwilling to take the blame for Emperor Jianyuan, it had nothing to do with them, who wanted to be scolded for nothing.

So this morning, someone came up with a good idea for common people to complain, and asked Emperor Jianyuan to hang Chu Qin's body at the city gate for three days, so that the people could vent their anger and insults as much as they wanted.

Then, in the name of the imperial court, some money would be given to the families of the innocent women who were killed by Chu Qin, and some compensation would be given to the people who died because of the rebels.

And scholars can also see the benevolence and righteousness of the court, and if they bribe a few people to praise the court, the direction of the wind will naturally change.

All the faults were done by Chu Qin and his rebels, and any shameful and dirty things could be blamed on him, anyway, the dead would not open their mouths to defend themselves.

As soon as this proposal came out, it was echoed by many people.

Emperor Jianyuan also thought it was feasible. Chu Qin had been stabbed like that by him, so naturally he would not have any father-son affection for Chu Qin.

However, saving face still had to be done. Emperor Jianyuan hesitated to shirk it several times, and finally, under the persuasion of his courtiers, he "had to" agree to the proposal.

As for the truth of Chu Qin's death, those who knew it tacitly did not mention it.

The same is true of Emperor Jianyuan sending Concubine Wen to death and executing the Wen family. In order to keep the black yarn on his head and to save his life, it is an old case anyway, so it should never have happened.

But after this incident, they also learned a little more about the true face of Emperor Jianyuan. After returning home, they told the family members to be careful recently.

In order not to be angered, after all, he is a person who can push his concubine out to fend off assassins, stab his son more than a dozen times with his own hands, and kill courtiers and their families without mercy. No one wants to follow in the footsteps of the Wen family.

Emperor Jianyuan was neither deaf nor blind, so he naturally noticed the change in the attitude of the people below and the concubines towards him. He was very angry in his heart, but he was also worried that punishing people at such a time would make people fear him even more.

After thinking about it, Emperor Jianyuan came up with a good idea himself. He rewarded all the important personnel who participated in resisting the rebels that day, and rewarded the Jin Yuwei, patrol battalion and garrison.

The prince and the king of Qi got a lot of good things, and were praised repeatedly by Emperor Jianyuan, and he didn't want to punish the prince for failing to command, and punish the king of Qi for not reporting in advance that Chu Qin would rebel on the night of Zhongqiu because of meritorious service.

The courtiers who left the guards, including the General's Mansion and Prince Li's Mansion, were rewarded with silver, and each of the dead guards also had compensation silver.

In addition, there are some silks and satins, fruits from the local tribute, and desserts made by the royal chef in the palace to show his kindness.

Emperor Jianyuan's reward this time was much more than Lin's father gave when he won a battle.

It's just that the people who received the reward reacted very strangely.

Not to mention anything else, let's take Prince Li's Mansion and General's Mansion as examples.

As soon as the reward arrived, everyone in the house was full of doubts, and their eyes were strange, and they couldn't believe it was real.

After all, from the opening of the palace to today, they never even saw a single hair from the palace, not to mention rewarding money.

And Nan Xing asked Zhuge Shentong to test the drug on the spot, wondering if this was a new trick by Emperor Jianyuan to torture her master again.

Of course, after confirming that it was not poisonous, Nan Xing did not let Chu Zhao eat it, and gave it all to the servants in the mansion.

She disliked that the things rewarded by Emperor Jianyuan would dirty her master's mouth.

At the same time, on the side of the General's Mansion, the whole family gathered around a pile of rewards, their mouths opened wide in shock, "Is the iron cock plucked?"

Mrs. Zhou touched the silk and satin, and found that they were all made of high-quality materials, and the silver was all genuine, not adulterated. She also felt strange, "The iron rooster doesn't just pluck its feathers, it also cuts its flesh."

Lin's father said: "Since you have rewarded it, let's keep it."

After speaking, he laughed self-deprecatingly, "I've fought wars for so many years, and it's nothing more than a fight against chaos."

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Zhou immediately stepped forward to comfort the flower-changing Kua Lin father, and then slammed on Emperor Jianyuan, saying that he was a beast to flatter him.

Then without saying a few words, Father Lin hugged Mrs. Zhou into his arms, and Mrs. Zhou leaned against Father Lin's chest like a bird.

Lin Xiu put his arms around his wife and said to his younger siblings, "It's time to go."

Lin Xingzhi and the others followed immediately.

Lin Qi looked at his elder brother and sister-in-law, and asked Lin Xingzhi sourly, "What do you think at the moment?"

Lin Xingzhi shook his head, "No, I, Dongyue, are getting married soon."

Lin Qi: ...

Even more sour, and want to hit my brother.

The little girl Lin Wan kindly comforted her second brother, "Second brother, I will accompany you, don't worry, I will remarry after you get married, and I will never let you be a bachelor to the end."

Lin Qi was very moved, and felt that his sister was really caring.

Then I asked her a question, "If the second elder brother never gets married, will you stay with him?"

Lin Wan shook her head resolutely, and changed her words: "Second brother, don't worry, when I get to know more people in the future, I will ask you if there is anyone who is willing to be my second sister-in-law."

Lin Qi sighed, no one is reliable.

Lin Xingzhi put his feet on his second brother's shoulders and encouraged him, "Second brother, don't lose heart."

Having said that means not saying anything, Lin Qi rolled his eyes, and pushed Lin Xingzhi's hand away.

Then he slapped Lin Xingzhi's shoulder twice with his backhand, "Wait, I will marry a daughter-in-law who is both civil and military, and come back to blind your eyes!"

Then with hands behind his back, he walked away full of ambition.

Lin Xingzhi and Lin Wan gave him blessings.

Afterwards, they went back to their respective courtyards, and Lin Xingzhi strolled towards the Haitang Garden, but when he reached the arch, he was almost poked by a tree branch flying towards him.

Different from the usual tranquility, there are two people jumping up and down in Haitang Garden at this moment, inseparable, and Lin Xingzhi is quite familiar with them.

One is Shi Mo, his bodyguard, and Shi Yue is Chu Zhao's bodyguard.

Lin Xingzhi glanced at the stricken crabapple tree in his yard, grimaced, and shouted at the two people who had already hit the roof: "Don't you know how to fight? My crabapple tree is guilty!" What's wrong with being treated like this by you?!"

Hearing the voice, Shi Mo resolutely stopped, and opened his mouth to complain, "Young Master, this person is shameless, he wants to snatch you, Young Master, to Prince Li's Mansion!"

Shi Yue immediately said what Nan Xing taught him, "How can it be called robbery, this fiance who has passed Minglu should be called love interest."

Shi Mo was dissatisfied, "It's not your fiancé, if you want to have fun, let your prince come by himself, what's the matter with you."

It makes sense, Lin Xingzhi felt convinced.

Standing on his side, he asked Shiyue, "My lord asked you to come and take me to the palace? Did something happen to him?"

After all, if he could come, Chu Zhao would come in person.

Shi Yue quickly explained, "Princess, don't worry, the master is fine. The master was going to pick up the princess in person, but he was called into the palace temporarily, so he asked his subordinates to pick up the concubine on his behalf. The carriage is already waiting outside. caught."

That's okay, Lin Xingzhi didn't worry anymore, "Where are you taking me?"

Shi Yue said: "The master said that today is the last day for the rebel Chu Qin to hang his corpse at the city gate, so he wants to take Wangfei to see it."

Lin Xingzhi: ...

I didn't know what to say for a while, taking him to see the corpse, is this the so-called fun?

Shi Yue defended his master, "Master's statement can be regarded as an explanation to those dead girls, the person who killed them is already dead."

Lin Xingzhi felt that this was okay, and immediately ordered Shi Mo, "You go to Shi Yan and ask him to buy more incense paper money."

Lin Xingzhi felt that he could go to the temple and light a lamp for these girls.

Although it seems to be some useless work afterward, it still gives me a sustenance in my heart, and I feel that they can live better down here.

"Princess, don't bother. Miss Nan Xing has already been prepared, and they are all packed in the carriage outside the door."

Then raised his hand, "Princess, please."

Lin Xingzhi chose to go through the main entrance. After all, his father was at home. Seeing his son not leaving the door, and someone flying around with his collar, he would probably break his leg directly. The reason was—it was unnecessary anyway.

After getting into the carriage, there was another person in the carriage within a short distance.

"Have you missed my king?"

Seeing the person coming, Lin Xingzhi's eyes lit up and he wanted to greet him, but Chu Zhao took the lead.

Hearing what Chu Zhao asked, and seeing his expectant eyes, Lin Xingzhi felt reluctance in his heart, and said truthfully: "Think about it."

I really wanted to, I haven't seen you for a few days.

Those two words brought a smile to Chu Zhao's face instantly. He raised his hand and pinched Lin Xingzhi's face, "I miss you very much, too."

He also commented on the behavior of pinching his face, "The hand feeling has not changed. It seems that I have not been frightened in the past few days. I eat, drink and sleep normally."

Lin Xingzhi blinked, dazed, "Can you figure this out too?"

Chu Zhao chuckled, "I can't do it for others, but you, my princess, even if I close my eyes, I know what you are like."

Then Lin Xingzhi didn't speak, and Chu Zhao built the steps by himself, "Isn't the princess curious?"

Lin Xingzhi thought about it, but still gave him face, "What is it like?"

Chu Zhao raised his eyebrows, and directly raised Lin Xingzhi's chin, "Naturally, it's what this king likes."

"I like everywhere."

Lin Xingzhi: "... I knew it wouldn't be serious."

Chu Zhao said, "You are the concubine of this king who is about to marry, how can you be called indecent if you like you?"

Lin Xingzhi didn't argue with him, but asked why Emperor Jianyuan called him into the palace.

Mentioning this, Chu Zhao immediately laughed out loud, just mockingly, "It's time for autumn hunting, that old bastard asked me to be responsible for the security during autumn hunting and protect him."

Lin Xingzhi: "??? Did I hear wrong?"

Chu Zhao thought his concubine's dazed and shocked little expression was so cute, so he raised his hand and rubbed his ear, "You heard me right, that's right."

At first, Chu Zhao didn't know why Emperor Jianyuan chose him, and Emperor Jianyuan didn't discuss with him, but ordered him directly, and even warned Chu Zhao that if there was any mistake at that time, he would be questioned.

Chu Zhao felt that this person was simply sick, and immediately responded with a sentence, "If you are not afraid that I will kill you at that time, just arrange for me to take responsibility."

Then he left directly, ignoring the things that were jumping in anger behind him.

However, he also soon knew the reason why Emperor Jianyuan named him to be in charge of security during the autumn hunting. people.

The second is that Empress Chen said some ambiguous words, which made Emperor Jianyuan think that the rebels still had lingering evils. As the person who personally stabbed the leader of the rebels to death and hung his body at the city gate to let the people vent their anger, Emperor Jianyuan was afraid of death.

It is not known what the prince and Empress Chen are plotting again, but Emperor Jianyuan obviously fell into the trap, and he thought of Chu Zhao.

As a person without self-knowledge, he might feel that if he showed a little more importance to Chu Zhao, Chu Zhao would be grateful and work hard for him.

In the end, Chu Zhao slapped him severely in the face, and he probably wanted to kill him even more.

After hearing this, Lin Xingzhi felt relieved, and cursed that Emperor Jianyuan deserved it, and at the same time expressed his regret, "Why didn't Chu Qin manage to pinch him out at that time?"

Just had a sore throat for a few days, which is a pity.

Chu Zhao likes his concubine's unabashed protection of him.

Chu Zhao said: "Don't worry, maybe Qiu Lie will really have some accidents." Chu Zhao's eyes changed, and Lin Xingzhi always felt that something seemed to be brewing.

He didn't ask, anyway, as long as Emperor Jianyuan is not good, he is happy.

The carriage soon arrived at the gate of the city. Since the day Chu Qin's body was hung at the gate, the usually popular gate of the city has become more lively.

The body that had already been stabbed with more than a dozen holes was even worse after two days. Through the clothes, it could be seen that it had been pitted by stones, and it had begun to emit a stench, which was very unpleasant.

But no one sympathized with him, and he deserved everything.

Lin Xingzhi looked away after looking at it twice, and his eyes fell on an open space with weeds growing beside the city gate, and said to Chu Zhao, "Just burn paper for those girls here."

"En," Chu Zhao nodded, but only let Lin Xingzhi go by himself. There are too many people talking, and it is not suitable for them to appear together now.

Lin Xingzhi assured him, "Don't worry, my lord, I will tell those girls what you want."

The wagon was filled with incense paper money, and Shi Yan and Shi Mo helped to move it down. The people around came to ask curiously, and Shi Yan explained to them one by one.

Many people sighed and said that those girls were pitiful, and wanted to burn some paper money along with them, while some turned around and threw a few stones at Chu Qin's body.

Lin Xingzhi threw paper money into the fire little by little, and told them softly about the death of the bad guy, and his blessing to them, wishing that the next life would be free from worries, free from illness and pain.

Of course, I didn't forget to mention what his prince did from it. He was a man with a clear love and hatred, and was rumored to be vicious, but he was actually very kind.

After burning the paper money, it was not too early, but it was still too late to rush to the temple to light a lamp.

After Lin Xingzhi returned to the carriage, the carriage drove forward all the way to Qianfo Temple.

Today is not a day like the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year, and it is not early, and there are not many people who come to burn incense and worship Buddha, so Lin Xingzhi and Chu Zhao walked slowly up the road while talking.

After all, the prince is there, and Lin Xingzhi is not worried that he will not be able to go back at night.

They thought that there would be no one at this time, but when they got to the top of the mountain, they found that a salvation was going on in the temple. Among them was a person whom both Lin Xingzhi and Chu Zhao knew. 23 lights.

Chu Qin's former princess, Qi Shurong.

A woman who was involved, unfortunate and barely lucky.

The two of Lin Xingzhi did not enter the hall to disturb, but stood outside the door. Lin Xingzhi pointed to the lamp on the altar for Chu Zhao to see, "Someone remembers those innocent women."

Chu Zhao nodded, agreeing with Lin Xingzhi's words, and explained to Lin Xingzhi the reason why he wanted to help Qi Shurong in the first place, "After the death of my mother and concubine, she drove away those bullying servants and maids for me. I owe her a favor." .”

Lin Xingzhi concluded, "So you are all good people."
