Reborn as King again

Ji Ze also realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, he knew it was a secret, he shouldn't have said it!

"You said Liu Guogong was collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country?! You bastard!" As the emperor, how could I believe such words? ! "Liu Guogong is the veteran of the three dynasties, and he has made great contributions with my father! How could he do such a thing?!"

Ji Ze was silent for a while. He was considering whether he should tell the matter. Seeing that he was still so hesitant, I gave another dose of ruthless medicine. Framed Liu Guogong for collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country?! Liu Guogong is right! Your Ji family is full of nonsense, so you can’t stay here!” As I spoke, I angrily called out to the inner eunuchs: “It’s not just his son, go, find more inner eunuchs! Come, I will strip off all the clothes of the Ji family and roast them on the fire!"

When I said this, Ji Ze immediately compromised. He had heard of my tyranny and ruthlessness. He had no choice but to do this for the sake of the Ji clan, let alone Liu Guogong who was unkind and righteous first!

"I'm telling the truth! Liu Guogong once sent me Datong's war intelligence to Dayan!" Ji Ze decided to tell the whole story.

"Hmph," I sneered, "You also said that Dayan sent a letter of surrender to General Xia." The implication is, who knows if you are talking nonsense just to survive.

Hearing what I said, Ji Ze thought that I was talking about this war, and he quickly explained: "I'm not talking about this battle, it was more than 30 years ago!"

"More than 30 years ago?" I seemed to hear a big joke, "Don't talk about you at that time, I was not even born yet, your lies are too wild, right?"

"I'm telling the truth! I have evidence!" Ji Ze looked at his child, his concubine, he had to make a choice, "As long as you let our Ji clan go, I will give you the evidence! "

"..." What I want is Ji Ze's words.

Seeing that I was silent, Ji Ze thought that I was vacillating, and he said firmly, "That Liu Guogong, a veteran of the Three Dynasties, is an old traitor who collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country. This secret will be buried forever!"

I obviously didn't believe him in my tone, and said angrily: "Okay, as long as you bring the evidence, I will save your Ji family from death!"

Ji Ze got my assurance, and said, "The evidence is in the screen that flies into the sky."

Immediately afterwards, Ji Ze told me that the letters between Liu Guogong and his grandfather Yan Guoxian Emperor Ji Yu were hidden inside a screen.The screen was originally intended to be buried with Ji Yu, but Ji Ze's father liked it after taking the throne, so he took it off, so the screen has been kept in the emperor's bedroom in the Yan Kingdom's palace. The wind surface of the screen is made of silver thread. Cheng, is embroidering a giant dragon of Ao You Xiangkong with gold thread, and there is a mechanism on the side of the screen. After opening the mechanism, a small clip will pop up, and the letter between Liu Guogong and Ji Yu is hidden in the small clip.

After hearing Ji Ze's narration, I sent Wanfu to find the screen.After all, that screen is also a rarity, probably transported back to the capital as a trophy.Fortunately, there was a flying dragon embroidered on the screen, so Xia Ligang didn't dare to covet his own name, so Wanfu found the screen and those letters in the Internal Affairs Bureau.

Two hours later, Wanfu sent the letter into my hands, the paper was already yellow.I opened the letter and checked it. After all, I can still read Liu Guogong's handwriting after correcting the memorials for so many years.These are indeed Liu Guogong's characters, and their Liu family's seal is stamped on it.

I folded the letter, put it in an envelope, and asked, "Why did your grandfather leave this letter?" In fact, I was just making a bet, because Liu Guogong has no evidence at all.

Ji Ze was slightly taken aback, as if he didn't expect me to ask such a question, he smiled bitterly, and said, "Grandpa said that he made Liu Guogong an unfaithful and unrighteous person, and I'm afraid he will have no face to see you again in this life, so keep this Letter, see things and think about people."

"Seeing things and thinking about people?" I sneered, "I don't know what kind of friendship Liu Guogong has with your grandfather, but I can see that your grandfather wants to always protect Liu Guogong, and you, a grandson, want to survive. You are really unfilial to go against your grandfather's will."

I was very embarrassed by the Ji Ze I mentioned. The first emperor did tell him that Liu Guogong once had kindness to their Ji clan.But thinking about it again, it was Liu Guogong who wanted to harm them in order to protect himself, and he did the right thing!So Ji Ze said to me confidently: "I have given you all the evidence, can you spare our Ji family's life?!"

"Okay, of course." I can let you die.

Then I ordered the internal prisons to release Ji Ze's son and bring the Ji family back to the prison.

In fact, I know about Liu Guogong's "collaboration with the enemy and betraying the country". Not only do I know, but even my father and my brother know about it.

More than 30 years ago, when my father was in power, he was an iron-shoe emperor who liked to fight. It became one of the countries that the emperor wanted to conquer.

At that time.The emperor of Yan State, Ji Yu, didn't want to become the king of subjugation, and he would be stigmatized for thousands of years, so he asked Liu Guogong for help, and Liu Guogong had always followed his father in marching and fighting. It can be said that he knew his father's character very well.So he secretly wrote a letter to Ji Yu and helped Ji Yu think of a countermeasure.According to what Liu Guogong said, Ji Yu showed weakness to Datong on the grounds that he was often harassed by the Hu people, and borrowed troops to resist the Hu people.

Think about it, if a country borrows troops from another country, apart from out of trust, it means that the borrowed country is a powerful country in military affairs.At that time, the royal father had won battles year after year, and he was a little bit smug. He didn't pay attention to Dayan at all, and even ridiculed Ji Yu for being cowardly and incompetent. He couldn't even protect his own country. He signed a lot of unequal treaties with Ji Yu except for offering sacrifices every year, and then lent troops to Yan State.

I was very young back then, and I only knew that my father still found out about Liu Guogong helping Yan Emperor Ji Yu, but my father chose to forgive for no other reason. My father's empress Liu was the daughter of Liu Guogong. A childhood sweetheart with deep feelings, even if Empress Liu died, the father still missed her in his heart, not to mention the fact that the father was able to ascend the throne and bring down half of Datong.So in the end, the credit was paid off, and the emperor no longer pursued it.

As for why I know these things, it is actually because when I knew that Liu Guogong was collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, not only the father, but also the emperor brother. The emperor severely punished Liu Guogong to make an example of others, so that no one else would do anything harmful to the country.But the father did not accept the opinion of the emperor's brother. He destroyed all the evidence of the acquaintance between Liu Guogong and Ji Yu, including the witnesses who knew that they were acquaintances, and spared no effort to kill them. He also asked the emperor to keep this secret. The Liu family should never be punished for this incident.Brother Huang was very angry with his father's actions, so he complained to me a few times, so I was very impressed by this.

It was also because of this incident that the father and Duke Liu had a estrangement, which made the already declining Liu family even worse. After the emperor succeeded to the throne, he was naturally very afraid of the Liu family, so the Liu family declined even more. Until I ascended the throne, Only then did he be lifted up.

In fact, whether Liu Guogong colluded with the enemy or betrayed the country is not important to me. At the beginning, I really wanted to reuse the Liu family, and even had the idea of ​​canonizing Liu Sha as a queen, but this idea was dismissed because of the mother's dislike. But I have always been very kind to the Liu family.

I once dreamed of giving the Liu family a place in my new court.But I almost forgot that my lovely elder brother, King Rui, is the grandson of Duke Liu.When Liu Guogong impeached Xiao Ba for rebellion, he was pushed by King Rui. It is obvious that the declining Liu Guogong wanted to join King Rui!Only later, the impeachment not only failed, but also implicated Liu Guogong's younger brother Liu Hua and his henchmen to be beheaded.For Liu Sha's sake, I didn't pursue Liu Guogong anymore, but promoted him to the top of the four families. After that, Liu Guogong was very grateful to me, and he was loyal and no longer had other ideas.

But what's the use of this, it's too late, when I knew that Liu Guogong intends to go to King Rui, I made a killing plan, the Liu family must not stay!Holding him like this is to throw him down hard and use him to deal with King Rui.

I used my childhood memory to know a secret story between Liu Guogong and the Yan Kingdom, so I used the excuse of unifying the Central Plains to attack the Yan Kingdom, and I told Xia Ligang to capture the Yan Kingdom alive.It's just that something went wrong, I didn't expect the Yan Kingdom to surrender so quickly, and even sent a letter of surrender. In this way, not only will I not be able to capture Ji Ze alive, but I will also make him a king with a different surname, so how can I get it from Ji Ze? The letter between Liu Guogong and Ji Yu?Therefore, the letter of surrender must be burned, so that I can make Ji Ze a prisoner and force him to hand over the evidence of Liu Guogong's collaboration with the enemy.

Tonight there are only my confidantes in Taiye Court, so no one outside will know, so I summoned Ji Ze again.In the next few days, I also had no intention of seeing the Ji family again, as if I treated them as ordinary captives and discarded them in the prison.

Ten days later, news came from the prison that Ji Ze died suddenly.You don't need to think about it to know that the Liu family did it. Who made them feel guilty? They probably thought that I never saw Ji Ze again, so before Ji Ze might tell what happened more than 30 years ago, they should act first. .I don't think they could have dreamed of it, and I'm still waiting for them to kill them.

No, that night, Wan Qing quietly told me that a young eunuch next to Liu Sha was from the same town as a young eunuch in the prison. Distributed by the prison eunuch.

The author has something to say: This chapter contains a lot of information, and Xiao Yu buried more than N foreshadowing in the front:
