Reborn as King again

After Xiao Ba was sent to the Palace of Compassion and Peace, I dropped the memorial in my hand and rushed to see it.When he arrived at his dormitory, all the imperial doctors of the Imperial Hospital were waiting by the side. Xiao Ba was lying on the bed, seemingly in a coma. He was originally a slender person, but now he was so thin that he disappeared.The queen mother sat on the edge of the bed and kept wiping tears. "Xiao Ba." I called softly.Xiao Ba seemed to have heard my voice, opened his blurred eyes, and hoarsely said, "Brother Huang...I'm in so much pain..."

I felt sore, so I hurried to the imperial doctor Wang Qing for diagnosis and treatment. Wang Qing took off Xiaoba's coat and found a wound on his chest, which had been bandaged with cloth strips.Wang Qing took the scissors and cut the strip of cloth, revealing the wound. Xiao Ba suffered a sword wound. The wound has not yet healed, and it is still festering.

The queen mother fainted immediately when she saw Xiao Ba's wound. She had raised Xiao Ba by her side since she was a child, not to mention being injured, she had never scratched his skin. Now seeing Xiao Ba's wound festering, she couldn't bear it at all. .Fortunately, all the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital rushed to the Compassionate Ning Palace. When the other imperial doctors saw the queen fainted, they quickly helped her to sit on the toffee chair and pinched the Renzhong acupoint to make the queen wake up.She pulled my sleeve and said: "Huanger, you must catch the person who stabbed Xiao Ba, and Aijia will demand his life!" I could only comfort her and agree.

Wang Qing checked Xiao Ba's wound, gave Xiao Ba his pulse, withdrew, and said: "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, the Eighth Prince was injured by a sharp sword, and the sword wound is still poisonous. Fortunately, someone helped to suck the poison Come out, or the Eighth Prince’s life will be lost. Now the Eighth Prince still has a slight toxin in his body, I will prescribe a prescription, and wait for the Eighth Prince to drink the medicine to detoxify.” Wang Qing paused and continued: “It’s just Now the Eighth Prince's wound is somewhat infected, and it is also poisonous, causing the polyps on the wound to fester, this minister thinks that the festering flesh should be scraped off, otherwise the Eighth Prince will continue to hurt like this, and his life will not be guaranteed."

"Scrape off?" The queen mother was stunned, and asked: "Xiao Ba has been afraid of pain since he was a child, can he bear it if you scrape his flesh like this?"

"This..." Wang Qing didn't know how to answer.I said: "Doctor Wang, you can do whatever you want, as long as you can save the Eighth Prince's life." Wang Qing took the order and entered the house.

The queen mother and I were waiting outside Xiaoba's dormitory, and it didn't take long before I heard Xiaoba's painful cry in the room, "Ah——" When the queen mother heard it, she wanted to rush into the room immediately, so I quickly stopped her. He shook his head at her, telling her to bear it. After all, this scraping treatment is really dangerous. It would be bad if the mother went in to scare Wang Qing and hurt Xiao Ba by mistake.

About an hour later, one of the imperial doctors opened the door and let us in. After entering the room, he saw Xiao Ba wrapped in gauze and fell asleep. The dish passed by us, and the small dish contained dark red flesh and blood, which was scraped from Xiao Ba's body. The queen mother saw it and shed tears again. I quickly comforted him and assured him that I would definitely To avenge Xiaoba.

After wiping his hands, Wang Qing said: "Your Majesty, please don't worry, Queen Mother, I have already treated the wound of the Eighth Prince. The Eighth Prince just passed out from the pain and will wake up tomorrow. In the future, the Eighth Prince only needs to avoid eating, so as to recuperate be healed."

The next day, after the morning court, I went to the Compassionate Ning Palace to visit Xiao Ba, and saw him waking up and lying on the bed, still not in good spirits, the queen mother was sitting beside him, feeding him lean meat porridge.

When Xiao Ba saw me, his eyes turned red, "Brother Huang, I thought I would never see you again."

I asked someone to move a chair, sat on the side of the bed, and asked, "Tell Brother Huang, what's going on here, why did you get chopped down with a sword?"

Xiao Ba said slowly: "I just ran out of the capital to have a look. Who knew that a group of men in black besieged me and even stabbed me with a sword. Fortunately, General He Wenwu passed by at that time, and when the road was uneven, he drew his sword to help and saved me. In fact, we I really wanted to go back to the capital, but those assassins kept chasing us, so we had no choice but to find a cave to hide in, and we were found again later, at this time, we were discovered by the imperial brother's guards, and we were rescued."

I am not very convinced by Xiaoba's words. He is only 15 years old and has no achievements in the court. Although he is naughty, he has never really offended anyone. How could there be an assassin in black to assassinate him.On the contrary, He Wenwu, who used to have everything in his hands, has a fierce and brutal temperament, and must have offended many people. I always feel that the target of those assassins is He Wenwu, and Xiaoba is only affected by him.

Xiao Ba pointed to the wound on his chest, and said: "The wound on this sword is still poisonous. Fortunately, General He sucked out the poison, otherwise I would have died." Then Xiao Ba said: "General He is my savior. , Brother Huang, will you give him some rewards?" When I heard it, I was surprised, Xiao Ba did often ask me for rewards, but it was all for himself, and this was the first time for others.

Seeing that I didn't respond for a long time, the queen mother pushed me with her arm, motioning for me to agree, so I said: "Okay, whatever Xiaoba wants from the emperor's brother, the emperor's brother will reward."

As soon as I said this, Xiao Ba's big eyes lit up, and he quickly said to me: "Hey, this is what the emperor said, then I will give General He a thousand taels of gold, a hundred acres of fertile land, and five soldiers and horses." Ten thousand." Xiao Ba said his request smoothly, as if he had already thought about it.It doesn't matter if you reward the fields with rewards, but it's not easy to say when it comes to the power of soldiers and horses.

Even the queen mother felt that something was wrong, "Xiao Ba, this army horse can't be eaten, it can't be used, why do you reward this?" When Xiao Ba heard this, he knew that the queen mother was not very happy, so he pouted, his eyes turned red and acted like a baby Said: "But he is a general, of course the general needs troops, why don't you fight a lot." The queen mother has always been ignorant of such a soft-spoken and coquettish Xiaoba, so she quickly comforted her: "Okay, okay, fifty thousand soldiers and horses are five Thousands of soldiers and horses, I will give it to you." Then he turned his head and said to me: "Why is the emperor still standing there, why don't you hurry up and make an order!"

I was very depressed, my mother promised Xiao Ba just like that, after all, I am the one in charge.In the end, I wrote down the imperial decree myself, and let the empress look over it. Even the jade seal was built by the empress for me.

In fact, the reward that Xiaoba asked me to give is quite good, because I have been looking for a way to give the He family some more rights, so that the situation of the He family, Jia family, and Xia family in the court can maintain a balance. There are still [-] soldiers and horses in the village, and with this reward, the total is [-]. Although it is not much, it can more or less make the Xia family and the Jia family feel a sense of crisis.

After I issue the imperial decree, there will inevitably be people who will not accept it, and there will always be people who say that it is inappropriate for He Wenwu to have too much power.I am a dutiful son, so I will definitely agree to my mother's request, and my mother is a loving mother, so my mother will definitely agree to Xiao Ba's request. Such a joint relationship also makes the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs have nothing to say.

After another half month, it finally snowed in the capital, and the whole palace was covered with snow. I was sitting in the gazebo in the imperial garden. Although the weather was cold, it was quite enjoyable to make tea outside and enjoy the snow.

Not long after I sat down, someone sent a message saying that He Wenwu asked to see me.I also asked He Wenwu to come over.He came to me and bowed to me, and I said, "General He, what do you want me to do?"

Then He Wenwu clasped his fists and said: "I am ashamed of the emperor's reward, please take it back." He continued: "Actually, I did not save the Eighth Prince. Those assassins wanted to kill the humble minister, and it was the humble minister who hurt the eighth prince." Your lord is right."

Sure enough, I guessed right before, the target of those assassins was He Wenwu.Although He Wenwu is brutal, he is also a tough man, he doesn't want to take advantage of others, and wants me to take back the fifty thousand soldiers and horses.How is this possible, I don't care what he thinks in his heart, he must accept the [-] soldiers, so that he can compete with the Jia family and the Xia family.

I said: "But the Eighth Prince told me that those assassins wanted to assassinate him, and you are his savior. You two hold your own opinions, who do you think I should trust?" He Wenwu didn't speak for a long time, It seems that he doesn't understand what I mean. Because he is not in the capital all the year round, he leads soldiers to fight outside. He doesn't know that the Eighth Prince Li Mubing is the heart of the Queen Mother and my favorite younger brother.

So I stood up, walked to him, patted his shoulder, and said slowly: "I'll tell you straight, I have spoiled the Eighth Prince since I was a child, and I will give him whatever the Eighth Prince wants. What, the Eighth Prince said that the assassin was chasing him, so he was the one chasing him. The Eighth Prince said you were his savior, then you are his savior. If the Eighth Prince wants to give you rewards, then you must Accept, in a word, what the Eighth Prince says is what it is, do you understand?" There was a hint of threat in my words, even if He Wenwu was not happy, he had to accept, "I understand."

He Wenwu stood beside me respectfully, and I looked around at the snow scene in the imperial garden, it was extremely beautiful.Suddenly, he saw a thin and frail figure hiding beside the elm tree not far in front of him, sneaking around. That person was the Eighth Prince, Li Mubing.I felt a little powerless immediately, so I said to him: "Xiaoba, don't hide, Brother Huang has already seen you."

Seeing that I found him, Xiaoba walked out from behind the tree timidly, "Brother Huang..." Then he also walked up to the gazebo.After half a month of recuperation, Xiao Ba has recovered a lot and can get out of bed, but his complexion is still not very good.

At first glance, I knew that Xiao Ba had sneaked out. He was wearing a little eunuch uniform, and his little face was red from the cold. I quickly took off the black slippery leather shawl on my body, put it on him, poured a cup of hot tea, and asked him to hold it In his hand, he said: "Aren't you afraid that the queen mother will worry about you sneaking out?"

"It's okay, the queen mother is taking a lunch break." Although Xiao Ba was talking to me, his eyes were fixed on He Wenwu.I smiled and said to He Wenwu: "General He, my eighth brother has liked those heroic generals who marched and fought since he was a child. Please forgive me if he offends anything."

"Where?" He Wenwu hurriedly bowed.

Xiao Ba asked me: "Brother Huang, I heard from my mother that you have given [-] soldiers and horses to General He?" "Yes." I replied.He then said mischievously: "I should have asked you for more if I had known that Brother Huang was so forthright."

I was speechless for a while.

Because the target of those assassins was He Wenwu, not the Eighth Emperor Brother, I didn't bother to investigate further. After all, it's the end of the year and there are a lot of things waiting for me to do.Xiao Ba has been pestering He Wenwu recently, and hangs around him every day. He Wenwu has a bad temper, but because Xiao Ba is a prince, he is not easy to get angry, so he simply asked me to leave and not go to the morning court.

Xiao Ba saw that He Wenwu was no longer entering the palace, so he sneaked out of the palace, not going anywhere, just staying in He Mansion, spending time with He Wenwu.The empress mother was not happy with Xiao Ba's troubles like this, because she had some leeway because of Xiao Ba's injury when she was out of the palace last time, she came to the imperial study room to ask for someone from me every day, and finally I couldn't stand it anymore, so I issued an imperial edict, Let He Wenwu have to come to the morning court every day.Of course, these things are for later.
