Reborn as King again

On the third day after Ji Ze's death, I got off the morning and ran to the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility to pay my respects to my mother.At this time, the queen mother had just finished her breakfast and was receiving the eldest prince Li Chen in the main hall.

When Li Chen saw me, he immediately stood up after talking happily with his mother, and greeted me: "I will see my father."

"Get up."

Counting the ages, Li Chen is almost 14 years old, maybe because he was used to being alone in the palace since he was a child, and he was a little indifferent in dealing with others.After several years of baptism, Li Chen has gradually shed his childishness and become more and more charming.Even if it is me, the emperor who has read many beauties in the past and present, I really can't find anyone more beautiful than Li Chen.

A few months ago, Li Chen had finished his studies at the Taiyuan Academy. I didn't ask his opinion, but directly asked him to report to the Ministry of Rites, and asked him to sit up from the head. Everyone he came into contact with was attracted by his appearance. As I thought, the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital immediately changed hands, and Li Chen deserved it.I remember that the name in his previous life was always on his head until he bit his tongue and killed himself in front of me.

Although Li Chen was indifferent, he was too simple.I forgot how I raised Li Chen in my previous life, maybe I didn't care about him at all.In this life, I don't need Li Chen to achieve great things, let alone be able to stand on his own. I just hope that he will stop being so indifferent and ignorant of the world like in his previous life.With beauty as a weapon, don't be so soft-hearted, Li Chen will definitely be able to get along like a duck in water in the future.

Li Chen is very good at observing words and expressions. He saw that I came to talk to my mother today about something important, so he said: "I remember that the Ministry of Rites still has something to do today, so I will leave first."

"Then you go down first." I said.

Li Chen greeted his mother a few more words before leaning over and exiting.

I smiled and walked to the mother's side, sat down, and asked: "Why did the mother think of summoning Shen'er today?"

The queen mother replied: "The Ai family just heard that the emperor asked Shen'er to work in the Ministry of Rites, and wanted to ask him if he is used to it in the Ministry of Rites."

In the past few years, my mother has devoted herself to worshiping the Buddha, and no longer interferes with the affairs of the court and the harem, but sometimes, she will occasionally bring up to me what she thinks is inappropriate.The queen mother held the Buddhist beads in her hand, and thoughtfully said: "Shen'er is 14 years old this year, and in two years' time he will be at the age of going out of the palace and building a mansion, and then it will be the princess, the emperor, you have made plans." ?"

After hearing what the queen mother said, I knew she had her own thoughts, so I said, "I don't know what the queen mother wants to do?"

"Shen'er's appearance is getting more and more beautiful." The queen mother chanted her prayer beads, and said, "In a few years, let alone the capital, I'm afraid there will be no one in Datong."

"Please make your mother clearer." I still don't understand what my mother means.

"What Aijia means is, Huang'er, you have few daughters, you can raise Shen'er as a princess." The queen mother still knows the current situation in various countries very well, "Now the only one in the Central Plains who can compete with Datong The country of Zheng Guo is Zheng Guo. The emperor Ouyang Hai of Zheng Guo is old. He is afraid that he will return to the West in a few years. His prince should succeed him. At that time, Shen Er will grow up. Er married into Zheng State, with Shen'er's beauty, he will definitely be able to fascinate the new emperor of Zheng State, it is best to make the Zheng State Emperor lose the hearts of the people, and you will regain Zheng State just around the corner."

Does the queen mother mean that she wants Li Chen to be a troublemaker?

My mother's suggestion has never been within the scope of my calculations. It's not that I don't know how to use it, but that I don't have the consciousness to do it.I know that in history, in other countries, it is common to exchange marriages for a moment of peace, but I have never experienced this kind of thing myself. My father has no daughter, and my brother has no heirs. They have never made peace to ease relations with other countries.And I have only two daughters, Bi'er is not in person, Yun'er is a fool, I can't use them to get married.

The queen mother now asks me to consider Li Chen, but when I think of Li Chen's tragic death in the previous life, I immediately veto it: "No, Shen'er is my prince, unless he is willing, otherwise I will never let him be a female. Down."

The queen mother smiled indifferently: "Aijia is just a suggestion, if the emperor is not willing, just let it go."

I smiled at the queen mother, and I had my own plans in mind.The queen mother is right. The old emperor of Zheng State will die sooner or later, but he did not establish a prince when he was young. The old emperor has so many sons, and they are all so outstanding. Maybe there will be a civil war for the throne. By then, Datong will be separated by mountains. Watch the tigers fight, and take Zheng Guo down in one fell swoop when his strength is weakest.

The queen mother suddenly thought of something, and asked: "The Ai family hasn't asked you yet, what brought you here today? Why do you want to come to see the Ai family?"

"It's because of Liu Guogong." As I said that, my expression became cold, and I told my mother that the emperor of Yan Kingdom Ji Ze dragged out Liu Guogong's crimes of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country more than 30 years ago in order to survive, "My mother, I want to do something about it." If they leave the Liu family, they will have secret relationships with foreign enemies, and I will not let them stay!"

When the queen mother heard about the affairs of the Ji family, her expression changed drastically. When she learned that Liu Guogong had helped the country of Yan, her expression became even more ugly. Leaving the Liu family!" The queen mother said while holding my hand tightly.

When I saw that my mother objected, my face turned pale, "Mother! Are you okay?! Don't you hate the Liu family? Why are you defending them now?!"

The queen mother told me: "Your royal father knew about this back then. He issued a decree, and this incident cannot be used as an excuse to punish the Liu family! Therefore, no matter how much the Ai family does not want to see the Liu family, they will not use this matter. make a threat."

"Mother's queen!" I said relentlessly, "They are collaborating with the enemy and traitorous! Don't tell me you just let me forget this?!"

The queen mother also never compromised on this: "But this is your father's will! If you punish the Liu family and wait for the mother to return to the west, how will you let the mother face your father under the nine springs?!"

"Then just pretend you don't know! It's me who wants to copy the whole family of Liu's family, it has nothing to do with the queen mother! If the emperor wants to blame me, let him blame me!" I said angrily.

"Emperor, do you have any evidence?" The queen mother is very familiar with what happened back then, she knew that the father destroyed all the evidence in order to keep the Liu family.

I have evidence, I got the letter written by Liu Guogong to Ji Yu from Ji Ze, but I will never let the queen mother know about it, so I tried my best to say: "But... But when I met Ji Ze A few days later, Ji Ze died in prison, I sent someone to investigate, it was Concubine Liu who did it, if she wasn't guilty, why did she kill Ji Ze?!"

"Ji Ze is dead now, as the so-called death has no proof! Emperor, you have no evidence at all," the empress mother persuaded earnestly: "If you are wary of the Liu family, then don't use it again. You want to take care of the Liu family. , the Ai family will fully support it, but they must not use the matter of 'collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country'. The Ai family hates the Liu family, but the Ai family will never disobey the emperor's will. It is you who will not disturb the Liu family because of this matter. Royal father's will, son, do you want to be unfaithful and unfilial?"

Being blocked by my mother, I was so angry that I left the Compassion Palace.

In fact, I know that the queen mother will definitely defend the Liu family in this matter!Back then, the emperor was annoyed because his father was partial to the Liu family. The object of his complaints was not only me, but also the empress!In fact, I just overheard a little bit at the beginning, and the mother knew much more about the truth than I did.

I know better than anyone else the empress mother's tough tactics. If she also wanted to use "collaboration with the enemy and betraying the country" to punish the Liu family, the empress mother would have done it long ago when the emperor father passed away and the elder brother took the throne, but she kept pretending I don't know, this shows that she obeys her father's will, and will obey until she dies.

I went to my mother today and told her that I already knew about Liu Guogong's "collaboration with the enemy and betraying the country" in order to let my mother stop me, because I won't do it myself to get rid of Liu Guogong, I want to borrow a knife to kill someone.

Ever since I broke up with my mother, I have been in a bad mood for the past few days. I got angry several times for no reason, and even killed a few officials who made minor mistakes. People panic.

Just when I was in the worst mood, Jia Wanru, who is as gentle as water, appeared, and she coquettishly took me to accompany her for a walk in the grove. No matter in the previous life or in this life, I often walked with her like this, chatted and chatted ,Improve relationship.

Jia Wanru first told me a few anecdotes about the palace, which made me amused, and then she calmed down and said, "Seeing that your majesty is smiling, my concubines are relieved."

"Is it so obvious that I'm in a bad mood?" I touched my chin and asked.

Jia Wanru nodded mischievously, "Really, although I don't know what happened to you, the emperor, but my concubines have heard more or less that you are angry with your mother."

I sighed, took Jia Wanru's hand, and walked side by side on the path in the forest, "I can't understand what the queen mother is thinking."

"If the emperor is willing, the concubine would like to share the emperor's worries and problems." Jia Wanru said empathetically.

Jia Wanru in her previous life was like this, unknowingly, many things were tricked out of me, but I didn't know it.I pretended to be silent for a while, and said, "Concubine Wan, you can't help me."

"Why is the emperor troubled?" Jia Wanru looked at me affectionately, very worried about me.

I smiled wryly, "I can tell you, but you have to promise me not to tell anyone else, after all, I promised my mother that I will not pursue it anymore."

"Well, my concubine promises."

Immediately afterwards, I told Jia Wanru all about the Liu family's collusion with the enemy and traitorous country, and told her that I was already very angry about this, and wanted to discuss with my mother how to punish the Liu family, but the mother refused to agree, and forced her to die. Let me use this as an excuse to touch the Liu family's hair, so of course I'm in a bad mood.

Jia Wanru didn't expect to find out this big secret, and couldn't help but growl her mouth, "But... But as far as my concubine knows, the queen mother is very hostile to the Liu family, so why would you confront the emperor at this juncture?"

"Because the father is facing the Liu family, the queen mother doesn't want to go against the father's wishes." I explained.

"By the way, there is one more thing that my mother told me." I raised my head and looked forward, and said meaningfully: "My mother said that the dispute between King Rui and the former emperor's crown prince was because of the fact that the Liu family colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country." His father found out, that's why King Rui was hated by his father and was defeated, after all, Liu Guogong is King Rui's grandfather." I made up these words for Jia Wanru, and my mother never told me about them. In fact, King Rui's failure to become the prince has nothing to do with Liu Guogong's collusion and traitorous behavior, because when the father and emperor learned that Liu Guogong and Ji Yu had contacts, the emperor's brother had already become the prince.

At this time, Jia Wanru's expression became a bit complicated, "Then you mean, if it wasn't for Liu Guogong, then the throne might have been passed on to King Rui?"

"..." I didn't answer, it was a tacit consent, in order to let Jia Wanru continue to misunderstand like this.

A few days later it will be August [-]th, this Mid-Autumn Festival is not a reunion, because I was angry with my mother, I did not attend the banquet in the palace, everyone can see that my relationship with my mother is extremely cold.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jia Wanru suddenly wanted to ask for an order, saying that she had been plagued by nightmares for the past few days, which made her mentally weak, and wanted to live in Nanshan for a while, to nourish her body and pray for blessings.I immediately agreed to her will, I know that Nanshan's blessing is just a cover, she wants to privateize King Rui, after all, she knows a big news that is earth-shattering.
