Chapter 158

When Xu Qing looked at it from cover to cover, the story of king Lin and King Ming falling in love and killing each other was full of ups and downs.

Speaking of this, I have to mention the wives and children of the old son of emperor DAHAO.

The six sons were born by the empress and the four imperial concubines. Behind each of them stood a powerful relative. In other words, no matter which one had the ability to fight for the crown prince, king Lin, the empress's legitimate son, and King Ming, the emperor's eldest son, were the most qualified. Just these two were the most powerful of all the princes.

King Lin and King Ming had no choice in governing the country. They were both selfish. They had been pecking at each other for decades. They both fell down carelessly, which made the other four princes smile askew.

The remaining four princes are not fuel-efficient, and there are two of them who are really talented and ambitious. When king Lin died, the empress was not worried. The king of Ming was arrested and put into prison, and they would not watch the king of Ming rise again.

Anyway, the capital is in chaos now. The old emperor is old and has soft ears. He doesn't care much about things. It's good not to add to the chaos.

Now the four princes are trying every means to trample around the court. Some want to help with practical work, and others make trouble with the court. If it is not for the prime minister and marshal situ, one in charge of all officials and the other in charge of military power, the whole capital would be in chaos.

Unfortunately, marshal situ is dying.

Speaking of the emperor, we have to mention an important person. In Xu Qing's opinion, this person is just a living Bao Si. He is very beautiful, and he fascinates the emperor.

This person is Princess LAN, the daughter of Marshal situ, situ LAN.

She still remembers that Li Changting said that the fake Yu Yan was given to king Lin by Princess LAN. In this case, the person behind the scenes who killed king Lin and King Ming was actually Princess LAN.

Xu Qing has also heard some rumors about Princess LAN. She married the emperor at a young age. There were 3000 beautiful women in the harem. How much did she love her?

The sons of other concubines are only princes, while the son of LAN Guifei was named prince as soon as he was born.

It's a pity that the child died soon after he was born. Since then, concubine LAN has nothing to do. She is depressed all day and lives a boring life in the back palace.

But the emperor liked her very much. She was tired of being with her all day long. Although Princess LAN had no son, she walked horizontally in the back palace. No one dared to provoke her.

So when Princess LAN killed king Lin and killed King Ming, was it revenge or anger?

Xu Qing read all of Li Changting's letters. Half of them were about the disaster situation in various places, and the other half was about the trend of the capital. In a word, it was not a good thing. He could see the first two.

Later, Xu Qing asked Li Changting, "why do you collect so much information? Is your life experience... "

Li Changting: "what is it?"

Xu Qing's face was twisted: "are you the son of Princess LAN?"

Li Changting almost laughed: "how can you think that? Princess LAN is one year younger than me. "

Xu qinglue was embarrassed: "well, you don't have any special life experience. If you have something, please explain it quickly."

Li Changting said: "I was born in Changxi village, and I grew up here. My parents are ordinary people. Except for my father, who had been out in his early years and saved some money, how else could he get the money to build a house, buy land and marry his daughter-in-law."

Xu Qing: "but your sister and brother don't look alike at all."

Xu Qing can't help but say the little doubts in his heart.

Li Changting was born handsome and straight, but Li Jinmei was pretty at most. Although they were brothers and sisters, their looks were too bad.

Li Changting: "we are half brothers and sisters. I look more like my father."

The elders in the village know this, but the younger ones don't.

Li Jinmei's mother was abandoned by her husband's family because she couldn't give birth to a son. Later, she married her daughter and was beaten and scolded by her new husband all day. It was Li Changting's father who bought her back.

This man is 49 years old. He is very nice to Li Jinmei and her mother. Li Jinmei's mother gave birth to a son, Li Changting.

Even with a son, the man still takes good care of their mother and daughter in every way, and the four of them live happily.

At that time, Li Jinmei was old enough to be sensible. She was very grateful to her father for giving her a happy home.

It's a pity that Li's father is getting old. He was not in good health and died of illness at the end of one year. Li Jinmei's mother was so sad that she went with her.

That year, Li Changting was only 12 years old.

Li Changting: "after my father died, he didn't leave me anything but silver. It was boring to stay in the village. A year later, I left for the outside. Later, by chance, I met duanmuxiang and Qi Feng, and joined Marshal situ. I served as a soldier for several years and fought everywhere."

"In an accident, my foot was injured and my force was greatly reduced, so I resigned and came home. If it wasn't for the Qin's wine classic that you gave me, my foot injury could not have been cured. When I got home, I retired behind the scenes and raised a group of people to collect intelligence and then resell it. Because the scope and source of intelligence are limited, I don't earn much money, but it's enough to support my family. "Xu Qing

Li Changting's life experience is nothing, but Li Changting's experience A little magical.

"Will you go back to be your soldier?" Xu Qing frowned and asked him that all men are ambitious. Now that Li Changting's foot is healed, he is no longer limping and has the relationship of Marshal situ. It should not be a big problem for him to return to his original position.

"No, it's a stupid thing to be controlled by others. One time in this life is enough." Li Changting was not happy by three points and disdained by six points, and there was no hesitation between his looks.

"Under control?" Xu Qing is puzzled.

"It's not good to work like a fool." Li Changting looked at Xu Qing, "I finally understand why my father has come back. No amount of fame and wealth can match the satisfaction of a meal made by my daughter-in-law."

Xu Qing smiles and reaches out his hand to scratch the tip of his nose.

Li Changting held her hand: "but Marshal situ is kind to me. He is a teacher one day and a father all his life. I've also given him my great kindness. I want to see him for the last time and make an end. "

Xu nodded: "it should be."

She foolishly thinks that Li Changting's great kindness refers to his foot injury. Duanmu Xiang once said that the situation was dangerous at that time. If he came one step later, Li Changting would die.

Later Xu Qing realized that it was not, not all.

But at least Li Changting won't leave her, and Xu Qing, who is next to her, doesn't want to take care of her. Besides, will the future be worse than now? Even if it's worse, she still has room.

"When shall we start and how long shall we go?" Asked Xu Qing.
