Reborn as King again

He Wenwu led the army to confront Zheng Guo on the land of Datong. Da Shang suffered the most serious losses. It had nothing to do with the war, but unfortunately its land was sandwiched between Datong and Zheng Guo, so the two countries went to war. Biran is a big businessman.

Dashang is a small country affiliated to Zheng Guo, and they bowed their heads to Zheng Guo in everything, so during the war, Dashang gave Zheng Guo all the conveniences. It can be said that Dashang and Zheng Guo were bitter, and the two countries joined forces to resist Datong's iron hoof , I have to say that He Wenwu's battle is not easy.

He Wenwu found out that if he wanted to confront Zheng Guo head-on, he had to destroy Da Shang first, so he wrote a letter to tell me his opinion. He Wenwu fought as he wanted, and the destruction of a country counted as one.

In the beginning, He Wenwu was very taboo in the land of Dashang, and he would not disturb the people if he could not disturb the people, but after he got the order, he was as excited as a shark smelling blood, let go of his body, and launched an all-out war with Dashang .

Whether it is military strength, material resources or financial resources, Datong is incomparable to the powerful country Datong. If it is not for the support of the powerful country Zheng Guo, it is afraid that the country will be wiped out in less than two years.In order to resist Datong, the Emperor Ouyang Hai of the State of Zheng sent his second prince Ouyang Chu to lead troops to join forces with Datong to fight against He Wenwu.

Ouyang Chu has been trained in the barracks since he was a child. He led troops to fight the enemy bravely on the battlefield at the age of 15. He won many battles and earned military merits. His name can be regarded as resounding throughout the Central Plains. The prince who is more favored by Ouyang Hai is also one of the most popular candidates for the throne.

To say how strong Ouyang Chu is, just look at He Wenwu.He Wenwu didn't fight hard at the beginning, and he occupied a quarter of Dashang's land in one go, until he approached a city called Phoenix City, and met Ouyang Chu, He Wenwu stopped.

Phoenix City is one of the three major cities of the Great Merchant Kingdom. It is very prosperous and has a population of nearly [-]. Its geographical location belongs to the central area of ​​the Great Merchants and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. At the gate, He Wenwu wanted to break through from another way, but the terrain was dangerous and there was only one way to go, but Ouyang Chu firmly guarded against it.

He Wenwu has been stalemate with Ouyang Chu for almost half a year like this. He rarely encounters an opponent with a high defense ability like Ouyang Chu. According to my understanding of He Wenwu, he should be about to go berserk.In the subsequent correspondence between Xiao Ba and me, he told me very cryptically that He Wenwu's temper was soaring, and he might make some bad actions. As for what "not good actions" are, I know very well , is nothing more than killing and surrendering!

After being unable to capture Phoenix City several times, He Wenwu accidentally discovered the water source problem of Phoenix City. The people of Phoenix City generally use the water from the Phoenix River, which is a branch of a large river fifty miles outside of Phoenix City.When He Wenwu learned about this situation, he immediately cut off the water source of the Phoenix River and let the river flow away from other branches. For a while, the Phoenix River dried up, and then even God helped He Wenwu, and it didn't rain for two months. Rain, you know, a city without water is like a dead city.

In this way, Phoenix City, which had no water source, had no water to irrigate the farmland, so it also ran out of food.After two months, the people of Phoenix City were panicked. The soldiers had military rations, but the common people did not. In order to prevent spies from entering and leaving, the gates of Phoenix City were closed tightly, neither letting anyone in nor going out. In this way, the common people They don't want to.

Ouyang Chu quickly discovered the seriousness of the problem. Before he could solve the problem, the people of Phoenix City organized a group of militiamen. They wanted to survive, and they wanted to surrender to He Wenwu. So one night, Ouyang Chu When Chu was unprepared, a riot broke out in Phoenix City. The people opened the gate without authorization and raised the white flag to He Wenwu's army. Ouyang Chu was captured alive and brought to He Wenwu.

Even if Ouyang Chu was asked to make the worst plan, he would not surrender to He Wenwu, because He Wenwu's name had long been known to everyone in the Central Plains. If the target is not captured, the opponent will be slaughtered regardless of whether the opponent surrenders or not.Ouyang Chu stood firm in Phoenix City to resist for eight months, and only now surrendered. He couldn't save his life at all!Ouyang Chu originally planned to quietly open a city gate behind Phoenix City to let the people flee to other cities for refuge, but he did not expect that the city gate had already been opened.

Ouyang Chu's guess was right, the first thing He Wenwu did when he entered Phoenix City was to massacre the city, even if he surrendered, it would not help, nearly [-] people were all slaughtered, and blood flowed into rivers throughout Phoenix City.

I don’t know if Xiaoba reminded He Wenwu. He Wenwu was afraid that the officials would impeach him again, so he wrote a special letter after the massacre, expressing the difficulties of fighting to me. Ouyang Chu, the second prince of Zheng State, was going to send someone to send Ouyang Chu back to the capital.

On the second day after Jia Liang was cut in half, the prison car escorting Ouyang Chu arrived in the capital.

The capture of Ouyang Chu, the second prince of the State of Zheng, really excited me a lot, because there have been no new prisoners in my cage for a long time, and bad taste suddenly came to my heart, I really want to witness this king There is also the demeanor of a young prince who has made military achievements.

It has been cloudy in the capital for the past few days, and there was a heavy rain last night, which made the temperature drop a lot in July, which is already a hot summer season. He Wenliu has been recovering from his illness. Every time I go to see him, he likes to treat me I rushed out, saying that I was afraid of infecting me with the disease. After hearing this, I laughed, how could poisoning contagious people? He Wenliu probably didn't want me to see him sick and weak.

The more He Wenliu is like this, the more I love to run to him every day to visit his doctor, and I feel relieved to see him gradually getting better.

Everything was fine at first, and when I went to see him, I would chat with him, feed him medicine and so on, but when I went to see him today, I felt that the atmosphere was completely out of place.

He Wenliu was very stiff when facing me today. Before I entered the door, he was lying on the bamboo chair with his eyes closed. I didn't let anyone know, so he didn't know that I had arrived.He Wenliu was dressed in aqua-blue palace clothes, casually rolled up his blue hair as usual, and inserted a jade tube into his hair. His fair neck always had a seductive abstinence smell. He closed his eyes tightly and frowned slightly. Eyebrow, seems to be thinking about something.

I don't like the way He Wenliu frowns, more precisely, I don't like the way He Wenliu is worried or troubled.

Stretching out his hand, he gently smoothed his slightly wrinkled eyebrows. He Wenliu, who was suddenly touched by someone, suddenly opened his eyes and saw me, and quickly stood up to greet me.

I smiled and wanted to pull him into my arms, but He Wenliu dodged subconsciously for some reason, unwilling to touch me.

"what happened?"

He Wenliu also realized that something was wrong with his reaction, and shook his head in denial, "No...it's okay."

fine?How could it be all right?He Wenliu puts me in the center of everything. To put it bluntly, he doesn't care about things that have nothing to do with me. "Don't lie to me, I can tell if there is anything wrong."

He Wenliu's body trembled slightly, he looked at me but quickly shifted his gaze away: "It's really nothing, it's just that I heard Xiaoluzi talk about some recent things that happened in the palace yesterday."

What happened in the palace recently?Isn't it just that Jia Liang was beheaded and Jia Wanru was demoted.This is indeed a major event, gossip is flying all over the palace, it is normal for He Wenliu to hear it.

I thought something happened to He Wenliu, but I just heard some gossip and said, "Have you heard about it? Actually, it's not a big deal."

After hearing my tone, He Wenliu's face became even more ugly, and he asked tentatively and cautiously, "You really demoted Concubine Wan and handed over the second princess to Concubine Shu to be raised?"

"She is no longer a concubine." My voice was serious. He Wenliu never asked about this kind of thing. Why did she suddenly mention it to me today: "Being demoted to a talented person with low status, she is not qualified to raise a prince at all. Princess, I did this for Bier's benefit."

In the past few years, I have had more children, and there has also been an unwritten trend in the harem. My concubines, no matter whether they are favored or not, as long as they give birth to princes and princesses, mothers are more expensive than children.They are all canonized as concubines, such as concubine Shu, who is not too popular in my eyes, but she has a strong stomach, and she is the biological mother of the eighth prince Li Qian.

He Wenliu still couldn't understand, he asked: "But...but she is Concubine Wan, no matter what she did, it would be too cruel for you to separate her flesh and blood."

I know that He Wenliu is kind-hearted, but I didn't expect her to be so kind-hearted!He Wenliu likes me, loves me, in his view, the person I love is Jia Wanru, logically he should be jealous of Jia Wanru, it’s good if he doesn’t make trouble now, but he still cares, I wonder if He Wenliu is a Bodhisattva alive .

I sneered and said, "What qualifications do you have to intervene in what I did to her? Isn't it too much?"

"I... yes, I shouldn't ask." He Wenliu clenched his fists, but still raised his head and said what he wanted to say: "Concubine Wan is the person you love the most. She gave birth to a son and a daughter for you. After so many years, how did you manage to do so? As for Captain Jia, having an affair with a concubine is indeed a dead end, but he is loyal to you and has done so many things for you, at least you should leave him with a dead body, but you will After he was cut in half, he let the dogs bite his body, you are doing so...too cruel."

"You think I'm ruthless now?" I took a step forward and reached out to pinch He Wenliu's chin: "What? You want to complain for Wancai? What do you think I should do? After bestowing Jia Liang's death, I still have to fight for him Great funeral? Don’t care about Jia Wanru’s cover-up behavior? Concubine Wen, when did you and Jia Wanru get along so well?”

"I..." He Wenliu was speechless when I asked him, he wanted to break free from my hand, but I suppressed him to death.

I continued: "There are too many people who have been demoted and given to death in the palace. Concubine Wen, you have always turned a blind eye. Why are you so interested in Jia Wanru all of a sudden? Is someone talking to you? Tell me!"

"No..." He Wenliu denied.

"Tell me the truth!" I don't believe it, if no one talks nonsense to He Wenliu, he will talk to me eagerly?

"No."

"Concubine Wen!"

"No! No! Really not!" He Wenliu didn't want to be pressed by me again, put his hands on my chest and pushed me away from my embrace.

I was stunned, the previous petty fights were just to increase the interest, this is the first time He Wenliu resisted me so hard.

And He Wenliu was also shocked by his own actions. He knew his identity very well, and immediately knelt on the ground: "The emperor calms down, my humble minister... I did not mean to offend."

Instead of asking He Wenliu to get up, I asked condescendingly: "Concubine Wen, what are you thinking? Help Jia Wanru speak? Help her excuse?"

He Wenliu raised his head and hurriedly explained: "I...I didn't try to excuse her."

"Then what is your intention?"

"I……"

"Say!" I pressed again and again.

"I... I was just thinking," He Wenliu said, hugging his arms, as if subconsciously protecting himself, and said in a trembling voice: "What position Wanfei occupies in the emperor's heart is obvious to all, but now she has ended up like this, I am a little scared in my heart, I am afraid that one day I will do something to make you angry, I am afraid..." Like Concubine Wan, I am afraid that my brother will die tragically and my own flesh and blood will be separated.

After hearing He Wenliu's words, I panicked for a while. It would be a lie to say that I am not angry. I didn't expect He Wenliu to distrust me so much, but why should he trust me?For so many years, Jia Wanru, as the No.1 in my heart, has always favored the harem and was tolerated by me. Under my pampering, she did many things, and I laughed them off without pursuing them. The child was handed over to others casually, not only He Wenliu, but everyone in the harem saw it in their eyes and kept it in their hearts. The emperor's love is so ethereal, and it depends on Jia Wanru's fate. It is no wonder that He Wenliu has no sense of security.

He Wenliu kept his head down after he finished speaking, he knew he had said some outrageous things, and he just waited for my punishment.

I don't know what to say to He Wenliu, should I tell him that he thinks too much, grab his hand and swear to him that I will never treat him like I did to Jia Wanru?How hypocritical, I really can't do it.

At this moment, the door of the study was suddenly pushed open, and a small pink figure appeared, and said sweetly, "Father~"

The appearance of Yun'er interrupted my conversation with He Wenliu.

I wasn't happy at all, and now I'm in an extremely bad mood. What's wrong?Is there no eunuch guarding the door?Still relying on Yun'er to break in like this?

Soon, a small eunuch knelt at the door and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, as soon as the fifth princess came back and heard that you were coming, she clamored to see you, but the servants didn't stop her. Please forgive me."

Yun'er also found that the situation was not right at the moment, her mother and concubine He Wenliu was kneeling on the ground, and my complexion was not very good, Yun'er asked a little timidly: "Father, did Yun'er come here?" when?"

"How come?" You can't get angry at the child when you are angry, not to mention that I still love Yun'er, so I helped He Wenliu up.

Normally, when Yun'er came back tired after running out to play, He Wenliu would wave at her to greet her warmly, but not today, as children are more sensitive, Yun'er pouted and asked, "Did the emperor father and concubine mother quarrel?"

"No." I denied it. I didn't want Yun'er to know that I had a dispute with He Wenliu, so I changed the subject and said, "What does Yun'er want to do with Father?"

When I asked, Yun'er also remembered that she was looking for me for a purpose, and immediately changed her face, looked at me with a smile and said with a smile: "Father, my son wants to learn how to ride a horse, but the master at the training ground Don't let me, father, you can go and talk to my son~"

"Daughter's family, learn how to ride a horse."

Yun'er didn't follow her, she pulled her small body in the dragon robe, swayed left and right, and said, "But Brother Dahuang, Brother Prince, and Ji'er can all ride horses and shoot arrows in the practice field, I'm so envious~ Father, you Just promise my son~"

It doesn't matter if the child is lively, riding a horse is not a big deal, so I accommodated Yun'er's meaning: "Okay, I will tell you about it later, and then I will pick a good horse for you."

Yun'er's eyes lit up when she heard it, and she said that the wind is the rain: "Okay, let's go now." The little hand grabbed my index finger and pulled it out.

If you don't agree to Yun'er, maybe she will make a fuss, so I will follow her, and before leaving, I glanced at He Wenliu, he still lowered his head, I didn't say anything, and left.

Yun'er saw that she was able to ride a horse, and she was so excited. Before she reached the gate of Qingluan Palace, she happened to meet Li Ji who was going to school, and said with a showy face: "Ji'er, the emperor promised me that I can ride a horse~"

Li Ji smiled, and bowed his hands to greet me: "I have seen the father, the father came to see the mother and concubine, right?"

"kindness."

Li Ji smiled purely, as if he was really a harmless child.In fact, think about it, if Li Ji hadn't caused so many things to change the dressing, how could He Wenliu be poisoned, and now why would he be terrified because of Jia Wanru's punishment?

"Yun'er," I said, "you wait for me at the door first, I have something to say to Ji'er."

"Ok~"

After Yun'er walked away, Li Ji asked respectfully: "What's your order?"

I can play bureaucratic at such a young age, I am too lazy to make indirect remarks, and cut to the chase: "Ji'er, your mother and concubine had a difficult labor back then, and she cried and begged me to keep you and Yun'er. I only hope that you can do things for your mother in the future." Think about it, concubine, if I don't thoroughly investigate some things, it doesn't mean I don't know."

Li Ji's face was a little stiff: "My son..."

I didn't want to listen to Li Ji's explanation, and said: "Some things belong to you, and I won't let you have them. Some things don't belong to you, but I can give them to you. Do you understand what I mean?" At such a young age It's too early to fight for power.

"My son understands."

"It's good to understand, well, go and see your concubine mother."

"Yes, Erchen retire."

In the study

Li Ji, who had just finished school, was leaning on He Wenliu's arms, as if he was looking for some comfort to calm the fluctuations in his heart.

"What's the matter?" Looking at Li Ji, a smile appeared on He Wenliu's face.

"I'm sorry..." Li Ji's voice was very small.

He Wenliu didn't hear clearly: "What?"

Li Ji shook his head, poked his head out of He Wenliu's arms, and said playfully, "It's okay, it's just today's riding and archery class. My son just started learning to ride a horse, and my waist hurts from being bumped by the horse~"

It turned out that Li Ji was acting like a baby to him, He Wenliu knocked on Li Ji's forehead, and said with a smile, "You still have waist at such a young age."

Li Ji stuck out his tongue.

The author has something to say: Xiaoyu’s calvin card has been very bad recently, please forgive me~ Regarding the emperor’s buns, Xiaoyu first listed the big buns one by one, Li Chen (produced by Xu)
