Either he didn't come at all, or he came all at once. Everything was really piled up at the same time. He hurried to the door with Lomin and Xu Wei. Gao Ping had already helped the Emperor off the sedan.
After a few months, the Emperor's body had become even more haggard and weak. His hair was white and his eyes were lifeless. He coughed every two steps, causing others to tremble in fear.
"Your subjects Lomin and Xu Wei kowtow in salute to Your Majesty!" Old Xu and Old Xu rushed to the front and respectfully kowtowed.
"Rise, both of you." The old Emperor nodded his head slightly. Looking at Lin San who was standing behind the two of them, he smiled and said, "Why? Is the victorious hero hiding in front of me?"
"Lin San greets Your Majesty!" Lin Wanrong quickly walked forward, giggling as she cupped her fists and said, "I haven't seen you in a few months, Your Majesty's old man is as vigorous as a dragon and as vigorous as a tiger.
How could someone be so shameless? Lomin sucked in a breath of cold air. Did he think that the Emperor was so easily fooled? Xu Wei, on the other hand, was not surprised. Lin San and the Emperor had a special relationship that was difficult for outsiders to understand.
The Emperor laughed loudly. "Other people lie because they are afraid that we will see through them. You lie because you are afraid that we will not be able to see through you. In this world, only you, Lin San, has the guts to do so! "
Lin Wanrong laughed carelessly. "Your Majesty knows what I am saying. The so-called truth and lies are just a facade for others to see. How can I deceive the wise and mighty Old Master?"
The old master smiled and nodded. He patted his shoulder and slowly walked into the courtyard. Lin Wanrong obediently followed by his side. Xu Wei and Lomin deliberately lagged behind.
The Emperor crossed his hands behind his back and walked unhurriedly into the garden. "We see that you have become much darker and thinner. You must have suffered a lot at the border, right?"
"Suffered a lot?" His eyes widened. He didn't understand. "That can't be. Great General and Miss Xu both treated me very well. Why would I suffer? "
The old man smiled and nodded. "It's good that you didn't suffer. If I really made you feel wronged. Ni Shang and Chu Yun. You definitely won't forgive me. Haha! "
So you're afraid that your daughter will come and argue with you. You're not worried about me, Lin Wanrong replied awkwardly. He did not say anything.
"I heard that you've been to the Hu royal court. You even destroyed their city? "The old emperor looked at him with interest." How did you get there? How did you fight the war? Tell me quickly! "
Even the Emperor's father-in-law, who was extremely shrewd, revealed a look of eagerness. Needless to say, Lin Wanrong was very pleased with himself. At that moment, he did not stand on ceremony. He would cross the Helan Mountains, set Bayanhaote on fire, and break through D 'Lanza. How could he go against the flow, enter the Sea of Death, cross Heaven Mountain, and attack Kyzyl? He recounted everything in detail.
Storytelling was his specialty. Once he started talking, he couldn't stop. It was a combination of adventurism and heroism to go deep into the grasslands alone. It was a matter of ten deaths. Coming from his own mouth, it was even more rhythmic and bizarre. It was like a top-notch novel. There was not a single part that was not thrilling, and there was not a single part that was not dangerous. It was enough to make people break out in a cold sweat.
Xu Wei and Lomin had caught up with him. They listened to him finish. They immediately let out a long sigh. "Little Brother Lin. You went deep into the heart of the Hu people alone. This story is told by the storytellers in the teahouse every day. I was already sweating profusely from listening to it. I didn't expect that it would be even more thrilling when you told it personally! Admirable, admirable! "
"Lin San's ability to tell stories is amazing. Everyone in the world knows that those storytellers are no match for him! " How could he be his match? "The old man nodded with a smile. There was a hint of pride on his face. "However, this battle with Kyzyl. It was indeed a good fight! I took them by surprise and defeated them. Even the Young Khan of the Turkic Khaganate and the Right Prince were captured by me. Let's see how those Hu people can still be so arrogant after I displayed the might and ambition of our China's empire! Lin San, you have truly made a great contribution! "
There was no need to mention the admiration in his voice when he said these words. Lomin chimed in happily, "Your Majesty is right. Right now, the entire country of China. From the ministers to the officials. From the commoners to the commoners, everyone is talking about Lin San's story. His reputation is so great that it can be said that everyone admires him! "
The three people in front of him. Regardless of their positions. They were all his father-in-law. Lin Wanrong waved his hands modestly, "You flatter me, you flatter me. I don't deserve it. I don't deserve it! "
The old emperor pondered for a moment. "I heard that not only did you capture the Young Khan of the Turkic Khaganate, you even captured their Great Khan. There are so many seductions, but is there such a thing? "
What Great Khan? Can't you be a little more tactful? He laughed and said awkwardly, "This. This, me and Yueya 'er, oh. No, I did have a little bit of intimacy with Khan Golden Saber! "
The Emperor laughed excitedly, "Good, good! You're really something. You even managed to seduce the female Khagan of the Hu people! I have no choice but to accept it! "
The old man had a strange expression on his face. Not only did he not blame him, he even laughed happily. Lin Wanrong's eyes widened. He couldn't figure out what the old man was thinking.
When they entered the hall, Qin Xian 'er ran out excitedly and bowed, "Greetings, Imperial Father!"
"My son, there's no need to stand on ceremony!" The Emperor gently helped her up. When he heard the cries of a baby coming from a distant room, he became excited, "Where's the child? Quick, let me see him!"
Qiaoqiao and Grand Mistress each carried a baby in their arms as they walked over. Before they even got close, the loud cries could already be heard. Xu Wei smacked his lips. These two little fellows were incredible. Just by listening to their cries, he knew that they were not to be trifled with.
"Imperial Father, look! This is our Second Lang. His name is Lin Xuan. He's the most troublesome one!" Miss Qin carried the baby who was crying the loudest and handed him to her father.
The Second Lang fell into the hands of a stranger. Before he could even open his eyes, his little feet were kicking non-stop. The old emperor carried him and studied him for a moment. Then, he burst into laughter, "What a good Lin Xuan! He's like the reincarnation of Lin San! He's never been taken advantage of since young. I'm afraid he'll be even worse than his father in the future! I, Da Hua, am blessed! "
Lin Wanrong was infuriated. My son is worse than me, and China is blessed? Isn't that insulting me?
The Emperor happily waved his hand. Gao Ping, who was waiting at the side, hurriedly handed over a shiny golden locket. In the middle of the locket was a shiny agate. On the locket were the words "Long life, long happiness" written by the Emperor himself. On the reverse were the words "As if I were here".
The old man personally hung the locket on his little grandson's neck. With this golden lock bestowed by the emperor, Lin Erlang could do whatever he wanted in Da Hua with his eyes closed.
"And this. This is our family's eldest son. "Qin Xianer placed the Lin family's eldest son, who was waiting to be fed, into her father's arms. "My husband said that his surname is Zhao!"
"His surname is Zhao?!" The Emperor was so excited that the muscles on his face began to tremble. He received Lin Dalang with trembling hands. He saw the infant in the swaddling clothes. He could vaguely see the shadow of Lin San in his eyes. His demeanor was as gentle and beautiful as his mother's. The infant cried and cried. Suddenly, his lips curled into a smile. There seemed to be endless wisdom and sharpness in his eyes.
"Good! Good! "The old emperor's lips trembled. Suddenly, tears of excitement filled his eyes. "That's him. That's him! His surname is Zhao, and he's my grandson. He's my grandson! "
The words "grandson" came out of his mouth. That was incredible. Those two short words. They confirmed the identity of the child. This was the grandson of the Emperor!
Even though he was the grandson of the Emperor, his mother was the Princess of the Yun Nation. He had the noblest royal bloodline. His father was Lin San, who held military power and enjoyed high prestige in China. With the assistance of Xu Wei, Lomin, and Li Tai, he was the third generation of the royal family. Who would dare to disagree?
"Congratulations to Your Majesty for having a grandson!" Lomin and Xu Wei instantly came to a realization. They knelt down together with all the eunuchs and palace maids. They sang loudly.
The Emperor's face was flushed with excitement. He laughed loudly. "Good. Immediately draft an edict and announce it to the world. I will announce it to the world this morning. I am happy to have a grandson. This is an auspicious sign from the heavens to bless China. I will follow the will of the heavens. I will grant amnesty to prisoners and help the refugees. I will exempt all taxes for three years! Hereby! "
The edict was issued. The fate of the Lin Family's eldest son would be rewritten. As for the name Lin San. It would spread throughout the world and be admired by everyone.
Lin Wanrong was both happy and shocked when he heard it. His mind went blank and he couldn't remember anything.
Qin Xian 'er was happy to see the old Emperor crying tears of joy. She said softly, "Father. You talked for a long time. You haven't named our eldest son yet! "
"Yes, yes." The old man seemed to have woken up from a dream. He smiled and said, "I was too happy. Official Xu. You are knowledgeable and knowledgeable. What should I name my grandson? "
Naming the grandson. It couldn't be done casually. Xu Wei pondered for a while. He said carefully, "The grandson is the hope of China's resurgence. He must have iron bones and lofty foresight in order to benefit the people and benefit the world. Your humble servant is bold. Can you name him Zheng? "
"Zhao Zheng?!" Xu Wei's eyes were sharp. The Emperor was delighted and nodded slightly. "This name is impressive! Lin San. What do you think? "
Lin Xuan, Zhao Zheng! Although they were both single characters. Each was louder than the last. It was a hundred times louder than his father's name. Lin Wanrong said dejectedly, "This name should be given by you. I have no objections!"
The old Emperor laughed and nodded. "Zhao Zheng! I hope it is as Xu Wei said. He has iron bones and lofty foresight! Pass down the edict. My grandson, Zhao Zheng, is to be recorded in the book and will enter the palace after one month. I want to find the best teacher in the world to teach him. Oh yes, there is also my little grandson, Lin Xuan. He will also enter the palace. The two of them can't be separated. This Zheng and Xuan complement each other, my Da Hua will definitely prosper day by day. Haha! "
Enter the palace after one month? What can he learn at such a young age? Lin Wanrong was about to retort, but Qin Xian 'er kept signaling him with her eyes. It was obvious that there was more to it than meets the eye.
The old man was in a good mood and stayed in the Lin Family's courtyard for the whole day. He didn't go anywhere.
Qing Xuan was still in confinement, so the father and daughter couldn't see each other. The Emperor talked to her through the room. At other times, he accompanied Zhao Zheng and Lin Xuan with Xian 'er, laughing with them. These two children were also very clever. Although they slept most of the time, they could occasionally open their eyes and open their toothless mouths to yawn and laugh noiselessly. This made the Emperor so happy that he could not bear to let go of them. As an emperor, he could have everything in the world, but this long-awaited family happiness was something that could not be bought no matter how much power one had.
That day was truly a happy day for the whole family. The old man reluctantly left in the dark of the night. Watching his sedan gradually disappear into the distance, Qin Xian 'er couldn't bear it anymore. She threw herself into Lin Wanrong's arms and cried bitterly.
"Xian 'er, what's wrong?" Lin Wanrong was shocked. "Don't cry, don't cry. What happened? Wasn't he fine just now?!"
Qin Xian 'er kept sobbing. "Father, Father, he — —"
Related to the old man? Lin Wanrong's heart sank. His intuition told him that something was wrong.
"Do you know why Father announced that the two children will enter the palace after one month?" Miss Qin said faintly.
Lin Wanrong shook his head. Xian 'er couldn't help but sob. "Father's health has always been poor. At the beginning of spring this year, he was ambushed by Cheng Wang. According to the Imperial Doctor's private deduction, he only has half a year left! In the days you were in the north, Jiejie and I thought of all the methods and used all the elixirs, but we could only use the heavens to make up for his life. We used medicine to stimulate all of his potential. Although he could live for a year, he aged twice as much and was rapidly weakening every day. By the beginning of spring next year, he would no longer be able to move … …
Using the heavens to make up for his life! So it was like this. No wonder he aged so quickly when he saw the old man this time and couldn't wait to make Zhao Zheng his imperial grandson. This was clearly planning for his future! It was just that he covered it up very well, and no one could see any clues at all.
The desire to live, the fear of death, all had to be suppressed in his heart. He couldn't let others see even the slightest bit. It was really sad to be an emperor like this!
Lin Wanrong sighed deeply. Xian 'er snuggled in his arms and said softly, "Husband, Father told me to tell you that you refused to take over this country because you like leisure and freedom. He doesn't blame you! But Zheng 'er is your son. If you don't even help your own son, then the heavens will not tolerate it! "
