Reborn as King again

The Xia family was punished by ten families, and all the officials who took refuge in the house were ransacked, and nearly ten thousand people were implicated in the whole country. I sent a large number of troops to do this, and the people in the whole country were panicked. They were afraid that my surname was Xia, or that there was someone with the surname Xia. The entire killing process lasted nearly four months. After the last roster was handed over to me, I handed it over to my queen mother.

In March of the following year, the ice and snow have already melted and the temperature has warmed up.No minister dared to mention the appointment of a new empress in front of me. I also pretended to be terrified, and I was very conflicted with the word "empress", saying that I would never appoint a new empress again.Now I have handed over the power of the harem together with the Phoenix seal to Jia Wanru. I love her so much, so I let her be the acting queen and manage the harem from top to bottom.Regarding my approach, neither the minister nor the queen mother has any objection, and Jia Wanru is indeed the best candidate.

He Wenliu, who returned to Qingluan Palace, also had his own things to do.He has not changed much from before, he is still so flattered, except to pay respects to his mother, or to accompany me in the royal study, he hardly ever goes out and often locks himself in the study.Because his right hand was disabled, he couldn't even hold the pen steadily, so he had to learn to write with his left hand again. When he was free, he would practice writing in the study, or practice holding chopsticks. It is much stronger for him to be in a daze with nothing to do.

One day in March, I was stopped by Xiao Ba on the way to the Palace of Compassion and Ning to pay respects to my mother. His face was pale and his eyes were reddish, as if something serious had happened.

This is the first time I have seen Xiao Ba like this, he pulled my sleeve, cried and said: "Brother Huang... Brother Huang, what should I do, Xiao Wu... Xiao Wu already knows, what should I do?" manage……"

Xiao Wu?I was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking for a while, I realized that the Xiaowu in Xiaoba’s mouth should be He Wenwu. I remember that Xiaoba always called He Wenwu General or Wenwu in front of me. I am afraid that he is in a hurry now. , I even forgot the taboo of addressing.

"General He? What happened to General He?" I asked.

Xiao Ba was just crying, and he couldn't organize his words for a long time. It's not a good thing to let Xiao Ba make trouble outside. Anyway, the Palace of Compassion and Ning is right in front of me, so I took him into the Palace of Compassion and Ning first, Go to the side hall, send away all the inner prisons, close the door, just the two of us, let Xiaoba tell me slowly.

Xiao Ba cried and told me that He Wenwu had discovered his secret and asked me to help him.

I don't know much about the emotional entanglement between Xiaoba and He Wenwu. I only know that Xiaoba used to pester He Wenwu everywhere. Their ages are very different, but this does not prevent Xiaoba from liking him.Xiao Ba always showed his best side in front of He Wenwu, sometimes pretending to be innocent, sometimes pretending to be weak. The prince of the biological mother can become the most beloved son of the father and mother, Xiao Ba naturally has his own means, He Wenwu has never known the darkest side of Xiao Ba.

Before, Xiao Ba asked me for Grand Master Xia, and then placed him in a private house. Perhaps it was the inspiration he found from me. The torment of the night.He Wenwu discovered Xiao Ba's anomaly, followed him quietly, found the private house, and tortured Xiao Ba.The whole process of playing Taishi Xia has a panoramic view.

"Did He Wenwu see everything?" I asked.

Xiao Ba trembled and sobbed and said: "I... I don't know, when I turned my head, he... he was standing at the door, I... I still had a whip in my hand... I don't know what he saw How long has it been..."

I thought about it, but I could think of a way, "Just say that I did it, you found out, and you hate Grand Master Xia, so you beat him a few times with a whip, and you go kill him right now." Xia Taishi, then I will pretend to be a captive and be killed by you, settle accounts with you, and then reprimand you in front of He Wenwu, I should be able to deal with him."

"Kill Grand Master Xia?" Xiao Ba was stunned for a moment, then shook his head immediately. He was unwilling, "No, if you kill Grand Master Xia, who else can I torture? Xia Zhisu is already dead, and the Xia family has been punished by you." After the death of the ten clans, there is only one Taishi Xia left, I haven’t tortured enough..." He begged me: "Brother Huang, please help me again, and think of a way to get the best of both worlds."

"How can there be a way to have the best of both worlds? Do you think He Wenwu is a fool?" I persuaded earnestly: "I can understand that you want to avenge Jing Zhaoyi. You have tortured Taishi Xia for so long, and it should be enough." , stop it."

He Wenwu is really hard to deal with. Apart from Grand Master Xia's matter, Xiao Ba has kept him a lot of secrets. Before in Ranguo, Xiao Ba caused a lot of trouble behind He Wenwu's back in Dashang. If he can't handle it Well, they will all be discovered by He Wenwu.

"Enough? Stop? How is this possible?!" Xiao Ba still shook his head, his eyes full of ruthlessness, "Do you think it's enough? Brother Huang, you left the palace early back then. You didn't know many things, and neither did I." Evidence, so I can't say much, but the Xia family has fallen, so I can tell you now..."

"Back then, I watched that bitch Xia Zhisu force my mother and concubine to die. I was too young to know what they were talking about, but the next day, my mother and concubine committed suicide by swallowing gold. I didn't know until later , it was Xia Taishi and Xia Zhisu who used the mother's stick to kill the person my mother and concubine liked before entering the palace, my mother and concubine couldn't accept it at all..."

"There is also the crown princess, you know how much the former emperor loved the crown princess, the former emperor was unwilling to marry Xia Zhisu as his concubine, Xia Zhisu begged his mother to do something with the crown princess, the crown princess could not disobey her mother's wishes , I agreed, at that time the emperor had a big fight with the crown princess, and then the crown princess died, do you know why?" Xiaoba looked at me stupidly, as if playing a quiz game, "I Let me tell you, the Empress Mother knew she was sorry for the Crown Princess, so she rewarded him with a lot of things, just at that time, the Imperial Dining Room made some glutinous rice porridge, and the Empress Mother had no appetite, so she gave it to the Crown Princess as well."

"I saw it with my own eyes. I saw that bitch Xia Zhisu mixed peanut powder in that bowl of porridge. That night, the princess died..."

When I heard this, my expression changed drastically, and I said, "Impossible, Xia Zhisu told me that the peanut powder was mixed in by the queen mother, who wanted Xia's daughter to be the queen!"

"Xia Zhisu told you that too," Xiao Ba was not surprised at all, but smiled even more happily, but the smile was too miserable, "Yeah, you know, after Xia Zhisu became a queen, she always She liked to quarrel with the late emperor, that's what she told the late emperor, the late emperor vomited blood on the spot, and died within a few months..."

"You know? Why didn't you tell the first emperor if you knew it?" I looked at Xiao Ba in surprise, and said, "If the first emperor knew, it wouldn't be so early..."

"I said it, I said it all, Brother Huang," Xiao Ba said here, obviously smiling, but it kept falling like a broken bead, "I told you The first emperor had nothing to do with the queen mother. It was Xia Zhisu who added a spoonful of peanut powder to the porridge and killed the princess, but the first emperor didn't listen to it at all. He didn't even have the courage to confront the queen mother... I I also went to find my mother and told my mother what Xia Zhisu did. It may be because I have targeted the Xia family since I was a child, so my mother did not believe me. She always thought that she herself killed the princess. She was afraid that she would hate her. He also bribed the imperial doctor who diagnosed the princess..."

"That Xia Zhisu was very ruthless. She provoked the relationship with the queen mother in front of the first emperor, pretended to be wronged in front of the queen mother, and forced the first emperor to separate from the queen mother. That Xia Zhisu was psychologically distorted. Before the emperor died, Everyone hates the queen mother... I know everything, but no one is willing to believe me..."

After listening to everything Xiaoba described, my mind was in chaos. This is completely different from what I learned from Xia Zhisu back then. Like the former emperor, I dare not ask the queen mother to check. I just sent someone to investigate. After knowing the mother's life experience that Xia Zhisu said, and secretly observing the past between the mother's mother and Grand Master Xia, everything I found confirmed that what Xia Zhisu said was true, so I couldn't help but believe it.

"Brother Huang, do you know that your expression now is the same as that of the previous emperor, confused, heartbroken, at a loss, you don't dare, right, dare not ask the queen mother, coward!"

"Xiao Ba!" I can understand Xiao Ba's emotion is very excited, but he is so presumptuous!

"But it doesn't matter anymore, the Xia family is over!" Xiaoba didn't care if he angered me, he cried and laughed, his expression was twisted together, "I can tell my secret, but ah, The most abhorrent thing is Xia Zhisu, she did all kinds of bad things, but she died so early, it's too cheap for her! So let Grand Master Xia bear it."

"Xiao Ba, actually..." I thought, why not tell him that Xia Zhisu is not dead yet.

"Actually, Taishi Xia deserved what he deserved. Who told him to always make the queen mother do things she didn't want to do." Xiao Ba ignored me, but said to himself: "When the father passed away, the mother queen was not too serious in front of outsiders." She expressed a lot of emotions, but I know that the queen mother was very sad. She got drunk for several nights in a row, locked herself in the house and cried bitterly, until Taishi Xia came, and only the two of them were in the room. Personally, I don't know what he said to the queen mother, but the mother went to the first emperor to tell the emperor about Li Xia Zhisu's becoming a concubine, after all, Grand Master Xia is the culprit!"

"Xiao Ba..." I felt very uncomfortable, even if I was reborn, it would be too late to know the truth now, "Why didn't you tell me..."

"Yeah, why didn't I tell Brother Huang?" Xiao Ba tilted his head and thought for a while, "Actually, when I found out at the border that you had accepted Xia Zhisu as your concubine, I really wanted to come back and tell you these things Yes, but...but...but I'm afraid you won't believe me, just like the queen mother and the first emperor, woo woo woo..." Xiao Ba finally burst into tears as he spoke.

Seeing Xiao Ba like this, I really don't know how to comfort him, and I myself have done many things similar to the former emperor, trusting outsiders, and hating my mother.But it's all right now, the Xia family is gone, and I still have a lot of time to make up for it in the future, to be a filial son, and not to repeat the mistakes of my previous life.

At this moment, suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door, and Xiaoba and I opened the door to look, only to see the queen mother fainted outside the hall, and my heart fell to the bottom of the valley.
