Reborn as King again

Liu Guogong's life can be regarded as outstanding achievements. He became an official during the reign of my grandfather, and then married his daughter to the father, who was still a prince at that time. It can be said that the father was assisted by Liu Guogong for most of his life. Later, Liu Guogong also became the uncle of the country. He accompanied his father to fight in the army and made great contributions. For a while, the Liu family was the most prominent family in the Datong Dynasty.Although the Liu family declined slightly with Empress Liu's early death, the status of the Liu family in Datong has never been shaken in the past few decades.Until I ascended the throne, the already gray-haired Duke Liu once again led the Liu family into the ranks of the four major families in Datong, and once again had a glorious future, but it is a pity that the impeachment of King Rui is doomed to make Liu Guogong unsafe in the evening.

Liu Guogong was originally an old man, but now he vomited blood after being greatly stimulated in the court, and was imprisoned in Dali Temple again.Dali Temple is a place to interrogate officials who have committed crimes. Almost no one who entered came out intact. How could the old Liu Guogong stand the interrogation of Dali Temple? Hematemesis does not stop.

When the queen mother knew about it, Liu Guogong had already vomited blood and died.The queen mother personally went to the imperial study to ask me if Liu Guogong's death was planned by me. How could I admit it?I put all the blame on King Rui. Anyway, the evidence was produced by King Rui in the Golden Luan Hall in full view, and it has nothing to do with me.The queen mother had nothing to do about it, she felt sorry for the entrustment of the first emperor, so she locked herself in the small Buddhist hall to chant scriptures and chant Buddha.

Once Liu Guogong died, the Liu family completely collapsed. Whether it was the Jia family, the Xia family, or other neutral families, they all wrote a petition and must be severely punished.This is exactly what I wanted. On the tenth day after Liu Guogong's death, I ordered that the entire family of Liu Guogong be beheaded, the three clans be punished, and the other six clans be sent to the frontier.In just half a month, the Liu family, one of the four major families in Datong, was completely destroyed.

I have not forgotten that the Liu family also has a daughter, Liu Sha.Counting the days, Liu Sha has been in the palace with me for nearly ten years, fighting for favor and having a prince. If the Liu family hadn't fallen, her life would be no different from that of other concubines.

In all fairness, Liu Sha didn't have any outstanding features in the harem. Although she was once the number one beauty in the capital, compared with Zhou Ling who entered the palace at the same time as her, she was still a little behind. On the other hand, it is not as delicate as Jia Wanru.They are all young ladies who were spoiled and spoiled in the deep boudoir. When Liu Sha first entered the palace, she was unavoidably arrogant and domineering, and offended others. Sacred Heart, so Liu Sha is also my heart, otherwise she would not have given birth to the tenth princess Li Xianer and the fourteenth prince Li Wei.

Although something happened to the Liu family, they have already entered the palace, so they will not be affected, and I will not force her to die by giving her white silk and poisoned wine, after all, she is the prince's biological mother.If she wants, she can still be her concubine in the harem.

On the day when Liu's family was ransacked, a young eunuch from Yunxi Temple came to report that Liu Sha swallowed and committed suicide.

At this time, the Yunxi Palace was extremely depressed. When I stepped in, I wondered if I had gone to the wrong place.When I came to Liu Sha's dormitory, I saw Liu Sha lying on the couch. She was not dead yet, enduring the torment after swallowing gold.

Beads of sweat appeared on Liu Sha's pale face, and her lips were dark red, which is a characteristic of metal poisoning.It seems that Liu Sha can't live anymore, she can only struggle to the death.

I walked to her couch, sat beside her, and wiped the sweat off her forehead with my hand, "Concubine Liu, why are you bothering?"

Liu Sha heard my voice, opened her eyes in a daze, and wanted to sit up, but her whole body was already weak.

I helped her up and put a big pillow behind her to lean on, "The Liu family matter has nothing to do with you, I never thought of killing you, you..."

Liu Sha shook her head with a wry smile, and only said, "If something happened to the family, how can the concubine live alone?!"

I remained silent. It seemed that Liu Sha wanted to live and die with the Liu family.

Liu Sha's pale and cold hands grabbed the corner of my clothes, she looked at me, her eyes blurred, "Your Majesty... over the years, my concubine has never begged you for anything, please...please look at me." In terms of the relationship between the concubine and you for ten years, please promise the concubine one thing..."

"Concubine Liu, it's okay to say it," I kind of promised, "As long as I can do it, I will definitely promise you."

"I beg the emperor... I beg the emperor to take good care of Wei'er." What Liu Sha can't let go of now is her son who is only a little over one year old. ...I don't ask for that position, I only hope... I only hope that Wei'er can grow up carefree, just be an idle prince."

Liu Sha chose to commit suicide, partly because she didn't want her family to be destroyed, and partly because of Li Wei.There is a grandfather who is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. In the future, Li Wei will definitely be pointed at by others, and he will not be able to hold his head up in front of the princes.Li Wei is still young and doesn't remember anything. Now that Liu Sha is dead, Li Wei will be handed over to other concubines to raise him. After this, Li Wei's life will be easier in the future.

"Concubine Liu, don't worry, I will take good care of Wei'er." I calmly pulled the corner of my clothes out of Liu Sha's hand, and said, "I have decided to hand over Wei'er to the queen to be raised. The mother of the country will definitely treat Wei'er kindly."

Liu Sha trembled when she heard the words, her eyes widened, and she said in disbelief: "Your Majesty! You... How can you...?" She thought that Li Wei would be recorded under the name of an ordinary concubine, but I didn't expect to hand it over to Zhou Ling!Zhou Ling is the queen, and if he is raised by the queen, he is a half son. Everyone knows that the relationship between the queen and the prince has never been good. Now that he has given his Wei'er to the queen, maybe the queen will use Wei'er to do something!

"Your Majesty! Wei'er is your son! You can't be so cruel!" Concubine Liu mustered all her strength and leaned towards me. She knelt on the bed and kept begging me, "The concubine only hopes that Wei'er Being raised by an ordinary concubine, it doesn't matter if his status is low, don't hand him over to the queen! I beg you, Your Majesty!"

I smiled without saying a word, ignored Liu Sha's pleading, stood up and planned to leave, presumably Liu Sha would not live long.

I told Wanfu who was guarding outside the screen: "Send someone to pick up the fourteenth prince and give it to the queen."

"Don't!" Liu Sha wanted to hold me back, but she couldn't support herself anymore, and she rolled out of the bed all at once. She slowly crawled up to me, crying with sobs, "You... don't want me!" , Your majesty, Wei Er is still so young, the prince... the prince will hate Wei Er... The concubine is about to die, Wei Er will not have a biological mother in the future, if he knows that his father treats him like this, he will be so sad Ah..., please, don't hand over Wei'er to the queen..." Liu Sha's breath was already weak, her cry was not loud, but it was extremely desolate. Before she died, she learned that her son In the future, she will be in danger and be used by others. She will die unwillingly!

This is the path Liu Sha chose herself. She chose to abandon Li Wei and follow the family, so it's no wonder I'm so cruel.I ignored Liu Sha's plea and planned to leave.

The moment I pushed open the bedroom door, I heard Liu Sha say quietly behind me: "When a person is about to die, my concubine finally understands why Concubine Wen would rather stay in the cold palace than come out to see you again. It's gray, but that's it."

I didn't get angry because of Liu Sha's words. I would rather let the people of the world blame me than let the people of the world blame me. They are not the only people who are discouraged by me. I didn't take it to heart at all.

That afternoon, Liu Sha died.

In the evening, I came to Fengyi Palace and saw Zhou Ling playing with Li Wei on the bed.Li Wei has just learned to speak, and he can't even walk well, so he has to be supported. He is not afraid of strangers at all, and he seems to like Zhou Ling quite a lot.

Seeing me coming, Zhou Ling immediately stood up and saluted, "I have seen the emperor."

"Get up." I took Zhou Ling's hand and sat down with him.

Zhou Ling poured me a cup of tea and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, the Fourteenth Prince..."

"Concubine Liu committed suicide," I said straight to the point, "Before she died, please take good care of Wei'er. I know you are an upright person, and you will not be as harsh as Concubine Shu on the children of other concubines, so I decided to hand over Wei'er to you." I will raise you."

Zhou Ling has always wanted to have a child, but after so many years, he has found nothing.Thinking about it, it is too difficult for a man to conceive. Except for Concubine Wen, all the other princes in the harem are women.

Zhou Ling knew that this was a huge pie. Li Wei was still young and didn't recognize anyone at all. If he raised him well, he would be as good as his own. "This minister will definitely do his best to raise the fourteenth prince well."

"I believe in you, queen." Including the Xia family behind you.

The Liu family was copied, punished three clans, and distributed six frontier clans. There were as many as 2000 people implicated, including members of the Liu clan, and Liu Guogong’s students were also implicated. Most of them were demoted or simply dismissed.

When I reused the Liu family, I appointed Liu Sha's elder brother Liu Yan as the head of the gate of the capital. This position was originally held by Jia Fan's student military minister Qin Tianlang. Qin Tianlang was beheaded by me back then, and now the Liu family also If not, this position will naturally be vacant.Without further ado, I promoted Xia Zhichen, Xia Ligang's eldest son-in-law, to take over. Xia Zhichen is also a military commander. He will guard the frontier after he grows up. It is perfect for him to take over.

The He family declined, the Liu family was ransacked, a large number of officials were killed and demoted, and there were new changes in the court. The previous four families restricted each other. In just over a year, they disappeared one after another. Two, Jia Fan and Xia Taishi, the two old foxes, also sensed that something was wrong. Recently, they have settled down a lot, and they are afraid of being caught by me.
