Reborn as King again

On the day Li Mubing returned to the palace, Zhou Ling summoned Grand Master Xia to enter the palace. They couldn't wait for Li Mujing to die, in case Li Mujing had too many dreams. Anyway, Li Mujing was already sick and unconscious. They wanted to support Li Wei as the new emperor as soon as possible!

On the second day, Zhou Ling posted a post, inviting civil and military officials to enter the palace, and made Li Wei the new emperor and respected Li Mujing as the overlord on the grounds that the country cannot live without a king for a day.Zhou Ling holds the phoenix seal in his hand, and controls the national seal and the emperor's private seal, and with the assistance of the Xia family, there are Xia family troops inside and outside the capital, what can the ministers who stand in neutral say?If you object, you will only end up copying your home.

In the end, under the coercion of Zhou Ling and Taishi Xia, all the ministers had to kneel down one after another to pay respects to the prince who was unable to walk steadily.

Li Wei was still a nursing baby, and was taken into the Golden Luan Hall by the nanny. Seeing the dark crowd in the Golden Luan Hall, he was so frightened that he cried on the spot.The cries resounded throughout the entire Golden Luan Hall, no matter how much the nanny coaxed her, she couldn't coax her well.

"I was scared to cry at this scene. It seems that the fourteenth prince is not the material to inherit the great line." A voice came from outside the gate of the Golden Luan Hall.All the ministers turned their heads and saw Li Mubing walking in dressed in a dark red python robe and dressed as a prince.

Zhou Ling deliberately concealed the news of Li Mubing's return to Beijing, so all the ministers present were stunned by the sudden appearance of the Eighth Prince.This Eighth Prince is not someone to be trifled with. Even though he has been away from the capital for many years, his "heroic deeds" in the capital are still vividly remembered by the ministers.

"My humble minister sees the Eighth Prince." The ministers hurriedly greeted each other.

Li Mubing looked at the low-pitched look of the ministers and was a little embarrassed. At that time, he was young and caused a lot of trouble inside and outside the palace. Li Mujing and the Queen Mother also spoiled him and didn't go into details. The ministers in the capital saw him Seeing that he always took a detour, one can imagine how successful he was as a little overlord.

"Get up." Li Mubing waved his hand and said.

"What is the Eighth Prince's so-called coming today?" Zhou Ling could see that the other party was not kind, "Do you want to welcome the new emperor together?"

Li Mubing sneered and said, "This new emperor's name is unfair, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it."

"Eighth Prince, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to make such a fuss as soon as you return to Beijing." Taishi Xia came out and said, "The emperor is critically ill and has been unable to go to court for nearly two months. Now there are so many things in the court, and there is really no one to deal with them." , the humble ministers are also thinking about the royal family and Datong."

"It's a good sentence for the royal family and Datong. Grand Master Xia's words are really better than his singing." Li Mubing is hostile to Grand Master Xia. It is no secret in the court, so Li Mubing's provocation and irony , All the ministers have the right not to hear.Li Mubing looked around the Golden Palace, "Where is the prince? The emperor is seriously ill, and the prince should supervise the country. Why is the prince not in the Golden Palace, but the fourteenth prince, a baby who just turned one year old?"

"Eighth Prince, you have just returned to the capital, and the news is not well-informed." Xia Taishi bowed and said: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has been abolished. He is not qualified to supervise the country, let alone inherit the great rule."

"Repeal?!" Li Mubing raised his eyebrows and asked: "How could it be abolished?! The prince abolished such a big matter, and the king didn't even receive the paperwork. Could it be that you took advantage of the critical illness of the emperor's brother to make a move?! "

Everyone knew that Zhou Ling and the Xia clan wanted to force the palace, but they were afraid of being wiped out by the Xia clan, so they chose to keep silent.

"Eight Princes!" Zhou Ling said loudly, "Please be careful with your words!"

"You have all done such a thing, and you still expect this king to be careful?!" Li Mubing had a long talk with the Queen Mother yesterday in the Palace of Compassion and Tranquility.After checking all the forms in the palace, this Empress Zhou actually formed an alliance with the Xia clan she hated the most, so don't blame him for being cruel.

"Eighth Prince, this is an extraordinary period. I failed to notify you of the abolition of the crown prince in time. It is because the humble ministers did not think carefully, but even if you mess around, you should choose the right occasion." In the eyes of Grand Master Xia, Li Mubing still It's just a spoiled prince who likes to make trouble, "Ministers are discussing national affairs, which are related to the future of Datong. You shouldn't add trouble like this."

"My king's surname is Li, so he is more qualified than your surname Xia." Li Mubing didn't care about Grand Master Xia's accusation, and said, "It's nothing more than you want to make the fourteenth prince the emperor, and you want to make the fourteenth prince the emperor." This king has doubts about this. But you also have to see, is the fourteenth prince the material to inherit the great line? In the Golden Palace, he was as timid as a mouse, crying like this. Grand Master Xia, don’t you? Deliberately want to support such a mediocre prince, and then control the government by yourself?" Li Mubing's words are a bit exaggerated, and Li Wei is so young, it is natural to cry when he suddenly sees so many strangers with serious faces.

"Establishing fourteen princes is the ancestral system!" Taishi Xia argued vigorously: "Establishing a crown prince and establishing a new emperor must establish a heir and an elder! Abolishing the crown prince is the emperor's will. According to the seal, only the fourteenth prince is still in possession of the name of the first son! Let the fourteenth prince be enthroned, it is in accordance with God's will!"

"Grand Master Xia is right. The ancestral system is like this. Establishing a heir and establishing a head." Li Mubing has a better card than Xia Taishi in his hand. ? That’s right, maybe it’s just like what you said, the crown prince can’t become the new emperor if he is deposed, maybe you don’t know, this king has a copy of the emperor’s brother’s will in his hand, the will is in the front, and it’s bullshit to establish a successor and a leader!”

Li Mubing's words caused an uproar in the Jinluan Palace, Zhou Ling and Xia Taishi were dumbfounded, the emperor has a will? !How can this be? !They have never heard of it!

"It's impossible!" Zhou Ling denied, "I don't know that the emperor has a will."

"You don't like the emperor so much, why did the emperor tell you?" Li Mubing sneered and said: "Maybe, he is just preventing some of you from forcing the palace!"

"It's reversed! It's really reversed!" No matter what Li Mubing said was true or not, Zhou Ling would never allow that will to appear! "Come here! The Eighth Prince deceived the emperor, so hurry up and arrest me!" Zhou Ling gave an order, and the guards outside the Golden Luan Hall rushed in, and they were about to capture Li Mubing immediately.

"My lord, who dares to bully you?! Who dares to call yourself a 'jun' in the Jinluan Hall?! Are you afraid of losing your life?!" Li Mubing stood alone in the Jinluan Hall, but he had a little momentum Not to lose, "Empress, have you been forced to jump over the wall? The king said that I have the imperial edict in my hand. Are you so afraid that this edict will not be seen?!"

Zhou Ling was caught in the heart, and he said sharply: "The emperor has never issued any will, and the will is fake! You forged the will, and you should be killed for your crime. Even the royal family can't show mercy!"

"You should give it a try!" Li Mubing was not afraid of him at all, "If you kill this king, you think the world will be peaceful? Are you going to be blind or deaf to all the officials in the Golden Palace?! You'd better kill this king at the same time. , kill all the ministers, so that the will will not be spread!"

"You..." Only then did Zhou Ling realize that it was really inappropriate to catch Li Mubing on the spot for Fa-rectification. He deliberately revealed the will in front of so many people!

At this moment, Xia Ligang's son, Xia Zhichen, the head of the gate of the capital, entered the Golden Luan Hall and said that he had something important to report.At this time, Zhou Ling didn't have the mind to dismiss the ministers, he said impatiently: "What's the matter?"

"Empress, something is wrong," Xia Zhichen told Zhou Ling, regardless of the presence of other ministers, "According to the report from the spies, the 30 troops led by He Wenwu did not know when to leave the border. Stationed at a place thirty miles away, they are..."

"Eighth Prince! Are you going to rebel?!" Zhou Ling knew that Li Mubing and He Wenwu were close, but he didn't expect that He Wenwu would actually send troops for Li Mubing.

"Rebellion? I remember that I told you yesterday that I didn't come back alone." Li Mubing said, took out a scroll from his cuff, opened it and placed it in front of Zhou Ling, "This It is the emperor's will, if the king returns to the capital, General He must send a large army to accompany him to protect him, the emperor loves the younger brother of the king very much, please take a good look."

"You..." Zhou Ling was too angry to speak.

"Brother Huang once told me that if I don't hear from Brother Huang for two months, then I will return to Beijing, read out the content of the will, and support the new emperor to ascend the throne." Li Mubing said the truth about his return to Beijing. The reason, he glanced at Zhou Ling, smiled and said: "This king has an appointment with General He. If the Japanese king does not meet with him tomorrow, then he can use the excuse of worrying about the king's safety to send troops to Beijing. Sister-in-law, are you really going to kill this king?"

"Since the Eighth Prince has a will, why don't you take it out and let the big guys see what happened?" A minister who had been keeping a wait-and-see attitude suggested.

"This king has exactly this intention," Li Mubing said with a smile, "Let's make an appointment. Tomorrow morning, this king will enter the palace again and read the content of the last edict here. If the emperor's wife suspects that this edict is fake, It's not too late to find out the reason at that time, you can't send someone to assassinate the king, if there is something wrong with the king, it means that the emperor's sister-in-law is guilty, even if you can suppress all civil and military officials, you can face Convinced and not convinced, something happened to this king, not only General He will pursue it, but I am afraid it will be difficult for you to explain it to the vassal king."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhou Ling really couldn't deal with Li Mubing.But Taishi Xia was not angry because of Li Mubing's words, he said: "Okay, let's read out the content of the edict in the hands of the Eighth Prince for tomorrow, and the ministers will also be able to distinguish the authenticity, and welcome the new emperor to the throne at that time!"

"It's a word."

I wanted to support Li Wei as the leader today, but Li Mubing came out to disrupt the situation, and all the ministers returned to the mansion one after another, and they had to go to the palace to be a witness tomorrow.

After the ministers and Li Mubing left, only Zhou Ling and Xia Taishi were left in the huge Golden Luan Hall.

"Just let the Eighth Prince go?" Zhou Ling gritted his teeth, he always felt that the matter was not that simple, "The Eighth Prince is so confident, the edict is probably true."

"So what?" Li Mubing liked to make trouble for Xia Taishi since he was a child. Xia Taishi wanted to get rid of him a long time ago. Tomorrow is a good time. He said: "Even if the edict is true, it will take several years." It’s the past, and now the imperial seal and the emperor’s private seal are in our hands, no matter who is appointed emperor in the will, we can refute it, and we can also charge the eighth prince with disturbing the imperial court.”

After separating from Zhou Ling, Grand Master Xia went to the Compassionate Ning Palace to see the Queen Mother again in order to protect her safety. He knew that Li Mubing had seen the Queen Mother, so he was going to find out what the Queen Mother was saying, and wanted to find out what Li Mubing had in hand. Card.

But in recent years, the Empress Dowager's attitude towards Xia's family is not as close as before, so Grand Master Xia told the Empress Dowager not to see any guests at the gate of the Palace of Compassion.Xia Taishi only thought that the queen mother hated herself and Zhou Ling for abolishing the crown prince and forcing his seriously ill son to become the supreme emperor.

Even though the Queen Mother was on the same front as Grand Master Xia, she didn't know that Zhou Ling was sent to the palace by Xia's family.The queen mother neither dislikes nor likes Zhou Ling, so it is only natural to give the phoenix seal to Zhou Ling. Zhou Ling is a queen. In that way, he wanted to control everything in his hands, and he was very open to many things, so he simply let go and handed over the power of the harem to Zhou Ling.

The current queen mother eats vegetarian food and recites Buddhism, she is not as ruthless as in the past, she doesn't care about things at all, after Li Mujing's critical illness, Zhou Ling's nature was exposed, even if the queen mother wanted to intervene, she couldn't intervene.The Empress Dowager's biggest backer is Xia's family, but Xia's family wants to force the palace together with Zhou Ling. Without the phoenix seal in their hands, they cannot control the power in the palace, so the only thing the Empress Dowager can do is to complain about illness and wait for the opportunity.
