Reborn as King again

At this time, Li Yi must have mixed feelings in his heart, and he must be very moved.Royal father trusts him so much, loves him so much, even if that King Rui is really his biological father, it is nothing.

It doesn't matter to me whether Li Yi learns that King Rui is his biological father.Because under my deliberate actions, Li Yi has never met King Rui alone, and he can't cultivate any father and son. They all say that a biological mother is not as good as an adoptive mother, and his father is no exception.

I am very kind to Li Yi, and I am the most partial to him among all the princes. Let him sit firmly on the prince's position and never waver. It was raining, and if he had to say something that made him feel unwilling, it would be that he watched Zhou Ling take the back seat that originally belonged to Jia Wanru.

"I won't believe a word of what the queen said," I looked at Li Yi, my favorite son in the past and present, and said lovingly: "I watched you be born and educated you to grow up. We are the most beloved son in the world." Close father and son, no one can provoke our relationship."

"Father..." Li Yi burst into tears on the spot.

"Don't cry," I hugged the young man whose height just reached my chest, and comforted me, "Father and imperial concubine will definitely seek justice for you and concubine mother."

Afterwards Zhou Ling came to see him again, but I ignored him at all, and even got angry and confined him to Fengyi Palace for three months, so that he could face the wall and contemplate his mistakes.At this moment, Zhou Ling hated Jia Wanru to death. He thought that Taoqing's matter was deliberately set up by Jia Wanru, but he didn't know that Taoqing's instigator was me.

After all, this was Zhou Ling's first confrontation with Jia Wanru since he became a queen, but it was a pity that he was defeated.But this is far from enough. I haven't pushed Zhou Ling to the extreme, and I have to give him one last blow.

Zhou Ling's instigation of Jia Wanru's affair with King Rui didn't go as smoothly as he imagined. In addition, it was a royal scandal. I was obviously biased towards Jia Wanru and Li Yi, so the news in the palace was strictly hidden. They dare not spread it to the outside world.

Although I punished Zhou Ling by confinement for three months, how could this be enough for Jia Wanru? Since Zhou Ling can find out about King Rui, who knows what else Zhou Ling will do after his confinement is lifted. Things come to an end, so Jia Wanru has been crying as a victim in the past three months, hesitating, and she has lost a lot of weight. Of course I will be fooled by this obvious bitter trick. Under provocation, I disliked Zhou Ling more and more, and finally decided that I want to abolish the empress.

Generally speaking, it is very troublesome to abolish the empress. If the empress did not commit any major events such as cooperating with the enemy and betraying the country, or subverting the government, she would not be abolished under normal circumstances. After all, the empress is on the genealogy.So if I want to abolish the empress, I still have to consult with the empress beforehand.

I came to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and explained to my mother that I had intended to abolish her.The queen mother didn't know that Zhou Ling was from the Xia family, and she neither disliked nor liked Zhou Ling. A few years ago, she had handed over the phoenix seal to Zhou Ling, but only asked about the harem.

The queen mother sat on the couch, refilled a cup of tea for me, and said: "My lord, it's not that the Ai family is talking about you. Look at what you're messing around with."

"Mother's Queen," I said a little embarrassingly, "I don't like the Empress anymore, not to mention Concubine Wan is now in a trance by him, I..."

"How did you tell the Ai family when you made Zhou Ling the queen?" The queen mother was too lazy to listen to my explanation, "You told the Ai family that you really like the queen, and you were cruel when Concubine Wan begged you. What? When the ministers objected, you tried your best to resist everyone’s opinions, and you didn’t listen to anyone’s dissuasion. Now it’s better, and you want to abolish the empress?! Are you making a queen just for fun?”

Now that the object is the queen mother, I am unambiguous and confessed to her, "Well, I admit that I was deceived by lard and bewitched by beauty back then. I regret it now, can't I? The person I love the most in my heart is always Concubine Wan."

The queen mother was silent for a moment, and said: "My son, maybe Aijia's words are not good, but you really have never doubted the relationship between Concubine Wan and King Rui? Even if Taoqing's testimony is false, but the queen investigates, every It is also true that when King Cerui returned to Beijing to pay homage, Concubine Wan stayed in the residence for a while."

"Queen," I snorted coldly, "The queen said that Concubine Wan didn't go to Nanshan at all, but stayed in the capital to accompany King Rui in the other hall, and said that they knew each other more than ten years ago, but I sent someone After checking, there is no such thing at all. King Rui and Concubine Wan are almost strangers."

"It's good that you know it in your heart." The queen mother nodded and said.

"The empress is the mother of a country. She should be able to grasp the current situation and know what is the most important thing in the overall situation," I said, "but what did Zhou Ling do? He used King Rui as a pretext to frame Concubine Wan?! King Rui is a vassal King, if I believe the rumors and think that Concubine Wan is having an affair with King Rui, then how should I face King Rui? Cut down the feudal clan? If this happens, there will be great chaos in the country."

After my analysis, the queen mother also found something wrong, King Rui can't move casually.The queen mother couldn't help frowning and said: "The queen is too unclear."

"So, Queen Mother," I said after deliberating, "I plan to abolish him, okay?"

When the queen mother heard the words, she couldn't help but sarcastically said: "As long as you show the determination and means you used when you established him as queen, it is not difficult to abolish him. The queen's mother's family has no backer, and no one will help." The words are harsh, but it is true that the general queens are people with prominent family status, so apart from the constraints of the ancestral system, the biggest obstacle to being abolished is the influence of the family.The reason why Zhou Ling was able to be the queen was because I like it, but now I don't like it, and it is not difficult to abolish him, who made him come from a lowly background.But there is one thing worth considering, that is, the Xia family is still hidden behind Zhou Ling.

"I know that I was absurd back then, and now it's time for me to employ people. I have to dismiss officials at every turn." I was so hurt by my mother that I was speechless, "So mother, help me find ministers tone."

"Talk about it?" The queen mother raised her eyebrows and asked, "What do you want Aijia to do?"

The queen mother has always followed my wishes, and this time is no exception. I smiled and said, "After thinking about it, the ministers will probably be divided into two factions. The Jia family must support the abolished queen for the sake of Concubine Wan. The problem is that the Xia family , I don’t know if they will block it.”

The queen mother heard the smell, and said directly: "Are you asking Ai's family to find out the tone of Grand Master Xia?"

"That's what I mean." I immediately complimented: "My queen, you are really smart." In fact, I just wanted to use my mother's mouth to tell Grand Master Xia that I am going to abolish the queen.

On the second day, my mother followed my wish and summoned Grand Master Xia to the palace, and the two had a long talk. According to the news Lan Mei gave me, Grand Master Xia already knew that Zhou Ling was completely despised by me.My next step is to wait and see what the Xia family will do, whether to abandon Zhou Ling and find another way, or to oppose the abolition of the empress and violence.Lu himself is Zhou Ling's biggest backer.

Not long after Zhou Ling's foot restraint was lifted, the temperature began to drop, and the leaves fell, as if it was autumn.It may be because of the changeable weather and I didn't pay attention to it, so I feel very tired in the past few days, and my body has started to have a fever.

I called the imperial doctor to see the doctor, they said it was just a cold, it doesn't matter, they prescribed some medicines for me to drink, just rest more.But a few days passed, and my condition still didn't improve. Not only was my body uncomfortable, but I also had some small rashes on my body.

This morning I went to the morning court as usual, I thought I could bear it, but after walking a few more steps, I felt more and more tired, my eyes were blurred, sitting on the dragon chair, I couldn't hear the ministers playing something What, I just feel a tinnitus.Then all of a sudden, my eyes went blank, and I passed out, without any consciousness at all.

When I opened my eyes again, I had been in a coma for most of the day, and it was already dark outside. I propped myself up and sat up, and saw my mother sitting beside me, her eyes were reddish, and her face was very worried.

Seeing that I was awake, the queen mother hurriedly called the imperial doctor and said, "The emperor is awake, hurry up, hurry up and treat the emperor."

"Mother," I rubbed my temples, my head hurts, "what's the matter?"

"Prince," the queen mother's voice was choked with sobs, "you suddenly fainted when you went to court, you scared the queen mother to death."

"My son is fine," I said with some guilt seeing my mother worrying about me, "I just feel a little cold, just take a rest."

"Wind and cold?" The queen mother said distressedly: "If it's just the wind and cold, how can you be sick for so long?!" She turned to the imperial doctor who came over and said: "The imperial doctor must have diagnosed the wrong disease. What's the matter, Aijia wants all of you to be buried with him!"

All the imperial physicians agreed with trepidation and trepidation.The imperial physician Wang Qing stepped forward, took my pulse, and asked, "Your Majesty, your pulse is still stable, and it is reasonable to say that you should have recovered."

"Healed?!" The queen mother scolded after hearing the words: "It's obvious that the sicker is getting worse! Are all your hospitals full of quack doctors?!"

"Mother's mother, mother's queen. The child is really fine." I pulled her to tell her not to get angry. Wang Qing is someone I trust, and he will not hide his illness from me.

"Your Majesty, do you have other symptoms besides body fever, limb weakness, and dizziness?" Wang Qing asked further: "For example, where is your body hurting, or is it difficult to breathe out?"

"That's not true, but I've had some rashes on my body recently, do you think it's related to this rash?" As I spoke, I pulled up my sleeves and stretched out my arms. There were several small red spots on my arms.

"The little minister has surpassed." After saluting, Wang Qing stepped forward and straightened my arm, observing the rash on it, his complexion changed drastically, and he knelt on the ground immediately, as if he was afraid of something .

When the queen mother saw this, she knew that something serious had happened, she asked angrily: "What's wrong with the emperor?!"

"My minister... I have little talent and little knowledge," Wang Qing replied tremblingly, some things should not be said indiscriminately, "I feel that asking other imperial doctors to diagnose together, I am afraid that the diagnosis will be wrong."

"What happened to me?!" Wang Qing made me very uneasy, "Hurry up and tell me!"

"Yes...it's the plague." Wang Qing's voice was very soft.

"Plague?!" The queen mother's eyes widened, "How is this possible?! How could there be a plague in the palace?!"

"Wei Chen doesn't dare to make a diagnosis," Wang Qing hurriedly said, "Maybe Wei Chen made a wrong diagnosis, please ask another imperial doctor to have a look."

As a result, all the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital were invited, and they all agreed that this was a plague!

I, Li Mujing, the Emperor of Datong, the dignified Ninth Five-Year Lord, was infected by the plague!

A few days later, several eunuchs with the same symptoms appeared in the palace one after another, with the same fever and rash on their bodies.The queen mother ordered a strict investigation to find out where the source of the disease came from.

It turns out that the plague broke out in Huaiyang City this year. Huaiyang City is not far from the capital. Although I ordered the siege and isolation at the beginning, some people slipped through the net. Some city residents sneaked out of the city and came to the capital. In order to survive, they The young son was sent to the knife room, but the child was already infected with the plague and died shortly after entering the palace. past.In this way, the plague spread into the palace, and a large number of people were infected.For a moment, the entire palace fell into panic.
