Rebirth: Traveling To Ancient Times As A Companion Reading Chapter 41

explain

“You’re quite a nice person.”

Joey lowered his head and tightened his girdle. Opposite him, Lou Ling, who was still adjusting his cuffs after changing into his riding and shooting uniform, suddenly said something.

“What?” Lou Ling paused, as if she didn’t hear what Joey said clearly, and raised her head, “What did you just say?”

Although Joey seemed to have spoken casually just now, his voice was not quiet or fast at all. As long as he was not deaf, he would definitely hear it.So when he saw Lou Ling’s reaction, Joey rolled his eyes.

“What are you pretending to be?” Joey threw the girdle aside casually, “I don’t believe you didn’t hear it.”

Lou Ling took the girdle and said, “I’m deaf.”

“You’re deaf!” Joey was speechless. “You’ve been deaf since you were eleven years old. You won’t have to live for the next few decades.”

Lou Ling: “Not even eleven.”

Joey: “Isn’t it only half a month left? Don’t make it seem like you are still young.”

As he spoke, Joey seemed to remember something and asked, “You said last time that my mother and the others were going back to Beijing. Have they started their journey now?”

“Yes.” Lou Ling adjusted his collar, “It will be there in about ten days.”

Joey nodded, “Oh. Does the Qiao family know that my mother is coming back?”

Lou Ling: “The matter of the two of them returning to Beijing is not a trivial matter. Everything that needs to be known is known.”

Joey: “Then should I go back to Qiao’s house to stay for a few days? After all, my mother is coming back, but I haven’t met my nominal grandparents yet.”

Lou Ling glanced at Joey and said, “Go back to Qiao’s house?”

Joey: “That’s right. I’ve been back for so long…well, it’s not a long time, but I haven’t been to Qiao’s house once. Isn’t it a little bad?”

Lou Ling: “Not good? I don’t think so.”

Joey: “Why?”

Lou Ling: “Guess why so many emperors did not deal with Zhang Wujing, and even released him from Dali Temple in an open and honest manner?”

“Huh?” Joey tilted his head, a little confused.

“You’re like this, and I’m still using you? Huh!” Lou Ling looked at Joey’s confused look, and couldn’t help but recall his arrogant look yesterday, and mocked: “You can’t even see clearly who is really on your side. When I said you were smart in Jiangzhou, I was blind.”

Joey was angry and pretended to slap someone: “Hey!”

Lou Ling immediately held Joey’s hand and patiently explained to someone for the first time: “Qiao Yunlan is on the side of the emperor, but the Qiao family is not the same. Concubine Zhang is pregnant, the queen mother gave in to the emperor, and the Zhang family regainedSheng Chong.The Qiao family also knows that when Qiao Yunlan comes back from Jiangzhou, the power will definitely be returned to the emperor.Which one do you think the Qiao family will choose between the powerless Qiao Yunlan and the powerful and favored Zhang family?”

Joey: “But the law is clear. If I die, will it not be intentional murder? Even so, does the emperor still want to protect the Zhang family?”

Lou Ling: “Because the emperor is ignorant and ignorant.”

When Joey heard Lou Ling’s rebellious words, he couldn’t believe his ears, and his heart suddenly became excited. He was afraid that if others heard him, the lives of the two of them would be in danger.He carefully looked outside several times to make sure no one was eavesdropping, then he breathed a sigh of relief and slowly felt relieved.

“You…” Joey wanted to persuade Lou Ling, but found that he didn’t seem qualified to speak.

Because he doesn’t know anything.

“What are you afraid of?” Lou Ling said, “I am telling the truth. Why do you think the emperor can sit in this position? If there were no Fang family, no Zhenbeihou, and no Qiao Yunlan, how could he sit so securely on the throne?”

“From the war that lasted for more than ten years in northern Xinjiang to the plague that killed tens of thousands of people in Bizhou and Chanzhou five years ago, to the incident of Zhang Wujing hurting people today…everything among them, no matter how big or small, is what the emperor should deal with, but he has not solved any problem. The bowl of porridge you had in Jiangzhou was from the Lou familyIt’s given to you.But do you know why the Lou family is giving alms in the bustling streets of Jiangzhou?That’s because Jiangzhou is the most peaceful and stable place among all the states in Dayong.In other states, it is not a good place to go if there are natural disasters or man-made disasters, so the suffering people can only choose to come to Jiangzhou.”

“…” Joey had no idea that there was such a deep-seated reason.

“Surprised?” Lou Ling said, “Don’t be surprised. The more you know, the clearer you will be that these things, among all things, are only insignificant. The emperor is very greedy. He not only wants power, but also wants to be the boss. Although he is in a high position, he has always indulged the Zhang family and is unwilling to do anything to the Zhang family. In order to change the status quo, the Fang family even tried to put the prince in power, but before the success was half achieved, the Zhang family knew about it, and the final result became what it is today.”

Joey remembered what Fang Qingzhou had said and was a little confused, so he asked, “Is it because of this that the Fang family was executed?”

“It doesn’t count.” Lou Ling said calmly: “The emperor and the empress were deeply in love when they were young, and now they hate each other. The emperor may have had the idea of deposing the empress for a long time, but the Fang family is still there, so he didn’t dare.”

Joey: “Then why did the queen still sit in the back seat after the Fang family collapsed? And the prince was not deposed?”

“Didn’t Fang Qingzhou make it clear to you?” Lou Ling asked.

Joey looked at Lou Ling without saying anything.

Lou Ling: “It’s because of the Queen Mother.”

“The Queen Mother?” Joey was even more confused. He felt that his current brain power was simply not enough. “But didn’t the Emperor immediately hold real power after he ascended the throne? The Queen Mother did not have much say, and even the Queen Mother’s mother’s family couldn’t say a few words. If the Emperor really has murderous intentions and wants to depose the Crown Prince, the Queen Mother shouldn’t be able to stop it, right?”

Lou Ling: “The main reason why the emperor can sit on the throne and control real power is the Fang family. The reason why the Queen Mother can speak is also the Fang family.”

“Fang family?” Joey was stunned again.

Lou Ling: “Fang Qingzhou should have told you how the emperor and empress ended up in this marriage, right?”

Remembering what Fang Qingzhou said yesterday, Joey frowned fiercely and said, “I know.”

Lou Ling: “The queen forced her to die, but Fang Kan, Fang Qingzhou’s grandfather, disagreed no matter what. In the end, the queen mother came forward to promise that she would not let the emperor betray the queen. She even made the emperor swear an oath that if the queen died, the emperor would never live alone. Only then did the marriage come to fruition.”

“…”

Joey was shocked.

“After marrying his daughter, even though Fang Kan saw that Xiao Ming was not the material to be the emperor, he still chose to help Xiao Ming ascend to the throne.” At the end, Lou Ling simply called Xiao Ming by his first name. “He thought Xiao Ming would change, but in the end he was just an unchanging stone. He was extremely stupid. He listened to the slander and was unwilling to learn at all. In the end, this is the result.”

Joey: “…Wow!” He didn’t even know what to say.

Seeing Joey’s shocked face, Lou Ling found it funny and said, “You don’t have to be like this. The emperor is not as stupid as you think, he is just a little stupid. He knows everything he should know, it’s just that he doesn’t want to do that. Just like this time you are studying in TaixueHurt, the emperor knows whose fault it is and what he should do, but he just doesn’t want to do it because he has selfish motives.It has been more than ten years since Concubine Zhang had this child. I guess even if Concubine Zhang wants the moon in the sky, the emperor will not hesitate.”

Joey: “You also know that the emperor is unwilling, so what you just said, will he…”

Lou Ling unhurriedly picked up the bow and arrow on the side, aimed in the direction outside the door, pulled up the bowstring, and said leisurely: “No. He doesn’t dare to do anything to me.”

Joey: “Why?”

Lou Ling: “The pacification of the war in Northern Xinjiang is the only thing the emperor accomplished during his reign. If he wants to publicize this matter, he will hold a celebration banquet.”

Joey: “What does Zhang Wujing’s incident have to do with this matter?”

Lou Ling: “The treasury has no money, so he can only come to Prince Lin’s Mansion because the Lou family has money.” Sensing something was wrong with the string, Lou Ling lowered his head and adjusted it, then raised it again and said, “Everyone is selfish. For an emperor, thisThis matter is related to whether he can be remembered in history. Not to mention Zhang Wujing, even Zhang Guifei is not as important as this matter.In fact, to put it more seriously, even if I kill Zhang Wujing in front of him, he would not dare to do anything to me openly.”

Joey’s heart moved, “Then…”

Lou Ling seemed to know what Joey wanted to do. He tilted his head and smiled at Joey, “Don’t worry, he will die. I will not break my promise to you.”

Joey looked at Lou Ling, who was wearing a red cavalry and archery uniform and holding a bow and arrow with a smile on his face. He obviously looked like a high-spirited young man.But inexplicably, Joey suddenly shuddered, feeling as if he had never fully recognized the person in front of him.

“What are you afraid of?” As if she could tell that Joey was uncomfortable, Lou Ling took a few steps closer to Joey and put her hand on his shoulder.

Joey shook his head violently.

Lou Ling knew, but he didn’t say anything.Apart from a few people close to him, the only one who knew his true nature was Joey.

But… before you know something clearly, it’s good to be afraid like this.

“Practice your riding and archery skills.” Lou Ling kindly reminded: “Maybe in a few days, your riding and archery skills will be displayed in front of everyone, but don’t embarrass me.”

“…” Joey looked at Lou Ling’s back with a confused look on his face: “What?”
