Reborn as King again

Less than a month after the Liu family ransacked the house, King Rui resigned, and it was time to return to the fief, so I approved his request.The day before King Rui was about to leave, I sent someone to invite King Rui to come to Taibai Tower for a talk.

In the afternoon, King Rui was invited to come, still in the same box.King Rui asked his attendants to wait at the door, then walked into the box and bowed to me.I quickly helped him up and said with a smile: "We are all brothers of our own family, so you don't need to be polite."

King Rui was invited to the seat by me, and said: "I invited Brother Huang to come today, not for any other reason, but Brother Huang is leaving tomorrow, and I don't know when we will meet again. Brother Huang came to Beijing this time to help me solve a big problem. I really want to thank you, Brother Huang."

King Rui knew that what I was talking about was Liu Guogong, he cupped his hands and said, "Sharing the emperor's worries is what a minister should do. Liu Guogong is colluding with the enemy and betraying the country, so he really cannot stay."

I really can't keep one!I love what he said when he didn't mean it!The reason why King Rui impeached Liu Guogong so cruelly was that Liu Guogong was rejected by me. King Rui was afraid of getting involved, so he took the initiative to clean up Liu Guogong for me. Not only can I dispel my doubts, but he can also sell me a favor.

But when King Rui really did this, he must have found it difficult to accept it. In the court hall, he watched his grandfather vomit blood from his anger, and saw his mother's family being punished and killed because of his impeachment.According to me Ann.The spy next to King Rui said that on the night that King Rui learned of Liu Guogong's death, he got drunk in his room and cried bitterly.

In fact, I can understand King Rui's feelings very well, and I have done similar things in my previous life.I hated the Xia family, and killed the entire Xia family behind my mother's back. My mother was so mad at me.At that time, I was standing by the bedside of my mother. My mother had angina pectoris. She didn’t want to see me at all. She yelled and drove me out of the house. I was so mad at me, I was stunned at the time, then passed out, and then I knelt in front of my mother's coffin for three days and three nights, but what's the use of that, it's irreparable .

Seeing relatives suffer misfortune because of my own reasons, the kind of spiritual blow is not ordinary, I am deeply touched by this, I just want King Rui to experience this feeling, besides the few of us, King Rui Apart from the royal brothers, the only relative is Liu Guogong.

I picked up the wine glass on the table, poured a glass of wine, and handed it to King Rui, "You will have to say goodbye after a long journey, and this glass of wine should be done for you, Brother Huang."

King Rui didn't have the slightest doubt, he took the wine glass and drank it down.

I smiled knowingly, drank the wine in my glass, put down the glass, looked at King Rui, and said, "Brother Emperor, we are all the sons of the emperor, and we are all born by the empress. In the end, you are actually more qualified to sit on the throne than me."

King Rui was taken aback when he heard the words, then knelt down, his expression changed drastically, "Your Majesty is careful, you are drunk."

I just drank a glass of wine, how could I be drunk, I stared indifferently at King Rui who was kneeling on the ground, "What I said just now should be what you have been thinking about for so many years, Brother Huang."

"Your majesty, you're really drunk!" King Rui said with trepidation, "I've never coveted the throne, and I've been keeping my fiefdom safe and sound. Please, Your Majesty, be careful!"

Please let me know? !Did King Rui think he was hiding well? !For more than ten years since I was reborn, I have sent spies and spies to Huainan non-stop, and have already infiltrated into King Rui's mansion. Poor King Rui, he doesn't know anything.

"Hehe," I chuckled a few times, and patted King Rui on the shoulder. He raised his head and looked at me. I smiled and said, "I know, I know everything, King Rui, you are building an aqueduct in Huainan." For this reason, to gather people and horses to train weapons and weapons, I also know that you have recruited all the generals who hold military power, and also, the Minister of the Ministry of Households and the Minister of the Ministry of War in the capital have secretly taken refuge in you, right?"

"Your Majesty..." King Rui widened his eyes and looked at me in fear.

"Aren't you surprised, why do I know this?" I slowly poured another glass of wine for myself, drank it and said, "That's because the instructor who trained the soldiers for you is a spy sent by me, and those who were recruited by you Your general, and the officials in the capital who have taken refuge in you are all my people, and I let them do this on purpose."

"..." King Rui knelt on the ground, still wanting to explain something palely, but his eyes gradually blurred.

"Also," I continued, "and Concubine Wan, I have known about you and Concubine Wan for a long time, Concubine Wan is still in your management right now."

"You...you..." King Rui realized something was wrong with his body. His limbs were weak and his mind was dizzy. He had only drank a glass of wine just now. "You...you poisoned the wine..." After finishing speaking, King Rui passed out...

It's just drugging.Poison?This is too cheap for him.

After King Rui fell into a coma, the door of the box was opened, and a few people dressed as ordinary people walked in. I glanced at them and said, "Take him away."

"Yes."

******

When King Rui woke up, it was already dark. He looked at the surrounding environment, it should be a water prison or something, and he himself was tied tightly to an iron frame.

"Brother Huang, you're awake." I was sitting on a chair not far from King Rui, waiting for him to open his eyes.

"You... what are you doing?!" King Rui twisted his body, unable to break free, "Even if you are the emperor, you can't treat me like this. You can’t explain it over there! You can’t explain it even more over the minister’s side!”

"I just act first, there's nothing wrong with it." I didn't take King Rui's words seriously at all, "Haven't you been plotting to rebel against me all these years? I should put you under house arrest just to survive."

"I...I don't have one," King Rui remembered the conversation with me in the restaurant during the day, and he quickly defended: "As a feudal lord, I should have my own troops, and I'm not considered a wooer. It's just a matter of talk! Your Majesty, don't listen to other people's slander!"

"Brother Huang, why do you force yourself to argue?" I stood up, walked towards King Rui, and looked at King Rui carefully again.King Rui is handsome, very heroic, and has the temperament of our Li family's royal family. "I know that you hate me, and my brother. If it wasn't for the early death of Empress Liu, you should be the prince, you should be the emperor."

"..."

"You are also very clear, my temperament is not suitable for being an emperor, or not suitable for being a Mingjun." I looked at King Rui, and laughed at myself: "But there is no way, this is the arrangement of God, you want the throne wholeheartedly , but can only go to the feudal land to become the vassal king, but I don't want to be the emperor, but I must. Although I have no intention of the throne, since I am sitting in this position, how can I make people drive me down?! You Are you right, brother?"

King Rui was silent for a while, and said: "You just imprisoned me like this, and you can't explain it to outsiders! You say I have the intention of rebelling?! But did I rebel? These are all your one-sided words, you are so Do it, other vassal kings will definitely not accept it! They will think that you want to cut down the vassal! All previous emperors, as long as they cut down the vassal, there will be civil strife in the country. Your Majesty, you made a wrong move."

"I have never considered the affairs of the vassal king." I knew what King Rui meant. King Rui was imprisoned and did not return to Huainan on time. He would be suspected by local officials in Huainan, and those officials might ask others The vassal king asked for help, and the trouble would be big then.

At this moment, the door of the water prison was opened, and a man dressed as a guard walked in.That man's name is Zhang Yuan, and he is King Rui's confidant. King Rui takes him with him in everything he does, and discusses many heart-to-heart matters with him. It can be said that he is the person closest to King Rui and also the person who knows King Rui best. .

"Zhang Yuan, why you..." King Rui stopped asking halfway through the question, what else could he say, it was obvious that Zhang Yuan was mine.

When I was reborn, after King Rui entered the capital, I gave him a lot of tributes. Since I couldn't bring them back, I dispatched some guards from the capital to escort him. Zhang Yuan was among those guards.Zhang Yuan sneaked into Prince Rui's mansion in Huainan, and gained King Rui's trust step by step. He stood up for King Rui several times and offered many good strategies for King Rui. It can be said that he is the number one counselor beside King Rui.

"Brother Huang," I asked, "You never think that Zhang Yuan looks like a person?"

In fact, Zhang Yuan's appearance is very unflattering. He has a full beard and a large bruise on his face, which looks like a birthmark. Such an appearance really makes people unable to see who he looks like.

I gave Zhang Yuan a wink, and after Zhang Yuan got the order, he reached out and tore off the forehead and beard stuck on his chin, then went to fetch a basin of water, sprinkled some medicinal powder in the water, and then washed his face.

When Zhang Yuan faced King Rui again, King Rui was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground, "You...you..." Because he found that Zhang Yuan had the same face as him!

Yes, Zhang Yuan looks very similar to King Rui, but they were not exactly the same at the beginning. It was only later that the imperial doctor applied a series of methods such as acupuncture, medicine, massage, etc., so that they were only seven or eight percent similar in appearance. It became exactly the same.I changed Zhang Yuan's appearance, and then sent him to lurk beside King Rui all year round to observe and learn from King Rui's every move, including King Rui's handwriting, tone of voice, walking posture, and preferences.Since Zhang Yuan became the number one counselor around King Rui, he knew all the ministers and confidants around King Rui clearly.

It will take time for Zhang Yuan to gain the trust of King Rui and become a counselor beside King Rui, so I have been holding back, waiting slowly, waiting for the time to come, and waiting for Zhang Yuan to tell me that he is ready.

"Have you seen it?" I said to King Rui, "Zhang Yuan will replace you and return to Huainan, and you can play with me obediently in the capital."

"Do you think... a mere Zhang Yuan can deceive the world?!" King Rui yelled, "You think the officials in Huainan are blind?!"

"Then let's wait and see." I am in Huainan.The person who intervened did not know that Zhang Yuan was the only one. From Prince Rui's Mansion to various official residences in Huainan, there are people from me. I have carefully arranged for more than ten years, so I can naturally cross the sea.

King Rui knew that he could not escape, but he was not afraid at all, instead he smiled and said, "What? Do you want to kill me?"

"Brother Huang, do you think you still have bargaining chips?" I chuckled and said, "Is it Concubine Wan? Or the Crown Prince?"

The next moment, King Rui felt like he was falling into a bottomless abyss, "You...how are you..." He looked at me in horror, his eyes had already betrayed him, "I don't understand what you are talking about..."

"It's about this time, it wouldn't be fun to play haha ​​with me," I sneered, "Li Yi wasn't born to me, and neither was Bier. I knew about it a long time ago. Guess...why am I?" Still pampering them so much?"

"You...you kill me!" King Rui's face twisted into a ball, and his body kept struggling, "Li Mujing! You're going to die!" Whatever my means, let alone King Rui, I am afraid that no one in the whole Datong will know that if it falls into my hands, death is the best relief.

"I can't kill you," I waved my hand and said, "If I kill you, Concubine Wan will be very sad."

"What are you going to do to Wanru?! You already know that, do you want to kill Wanru?!" King Rui was so angry that his eyes were red now. killer.

"How could it be?" I smiled and reassured King Rui, "The person I love the most is Concubine Wan, how can I have the heart to kill her? Don't worry, I will let your family reunite and live a good life."

At this moment, the water prison door was opened again, and Wan Fu bowed forward, "Your Majesty, the palace gate is about to close, we should go back."

I nodded to show that I knew, then turned to King Rui and said, "Then I will come to play with you again next time."

On the second day, according to the plan, Zhang Yuan pretended to be King Rui, went to the court to bid farewell, and then left the capital with a group of people for Huainan.And the real King Rui was locked by me in a water prison in a mansion on the outskirts of the capital. He will never think of leaving again in his life.
