Reborn as King again

According to my instructions, "King Rui" Zhang Yuan began to associate with Ouyang Chu suspiciously. Ouyang Chu's attitude was very clear, saying that he was completely on the side of "King Rui", and his words inevitably provoke the relationship between us brothers. camaraderie.

Ouyang Chu used to be my prisoner, and he must have been tortured by me. I can't remember what happened so long ago. This is indeed a good excuse to gain the trust of "King Rui".

Soon, "King Rui" also expressed his rebellious heart to Ouyang Chu, and Ouyang Chu hit it off with him, saying that he could represent Zheng Guo and support "King Rui".

Ouyang Chu analyzed the current situation of Zheng State to "King Rui" one by one, and "King Rui" reported it to me.

It has been two years since the old emperor Ouyang Hai stepped into the coffin. Since he did not establish a prince in his early years, now that the princes have grown up, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps. No matter who Ouyang Hai wants to establish, he will be punished by other princes. and strong opposition from the forces behind it.

Ouyang Chu is the second prince. He has already passed his thirties. He came from a humble background and obtained his status entirely by military merit.Everything was fine at first, but in the first battle in Phoenix City, I was defeated against He Wenwu and was taken as a prisoner and sent to the capital for my entertainment.

Until the truce with Zheng Guo later, Ouyang Hai was still thinking about his second son who had won the country for him, so he exchanged seven cities for Ouyang Chu.When Ouyang Chu returned to the State of Zheng, things had already changed. His cronies all thought that Ouyang Chu would not be able to come back, so they took refuge in the forces of other princes. It can be said that Ouyang Chu had all eyes on him when he returned to the State of Zheng. You should hate me too.

In desperation, Ouyang Chu could only rely on his brothers, like the queen, the princes born to the noble concubine did not pay attention to him at all, only the sixteen princes born to a favorite concubine who died young offered him help In the hand, that prince's name is Ouyang Zhen. Ouyang Zhen has a good reputation among the princes, but his mother and concubine passed away early, and the power behind him is a little weaker. Now Ouyang Chu is assisting this prince.

After several years of scrambling, Zheng Guo's royal family has been torn apart. Ouyang Hai is old and doesn't have the energy to take care of those things. It's good that he can enjoy his old age comfortably.

In order to help Ouyang Zhen seize the throne, Ouyang Chu recruited forces from abroad. No, he recruited him to the head of "King Rui".

After reading the letter sent by "King Rui", I have doubts about one thing. Ouyang Chu also marched towards the throne back then, led troops to fight, and made great contributions. A younger brother in his teens?But it doesn't matter, the more chaotic Zheng Guo is, the better.

In the blink of an eye, another year has passed, and when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, Bier is already 16 years old, and it is time to choose a son-in-law and get married.

Jia Wanru worked hard for this, choosing her family background, and looking at portraits. Bi'er is different from Yun'er. She has a prince's younger brother as a backer. Marrying her will definitely lead to a bright career, so there is an endless stream of imperial wives who hand over their cards to enter the palace. , Most of them came to recommend their precious sons.

The prince Li Yi also made troubles for Bi'er every day, and Yun'er was also joining in the fun, but Bi'er and Bi'er herself didn't care about it, and she was still unhappy.

Several times Li Yi took Bi'er out of the palace to play, in fact, it was to let her take a look at those good young masters unintentionally. Still frowning.

Li Yi and Jia Wanru often asked Bi'er what was wrong, and finally Bi'er was forced to say that she had someone in her heart.

Jia Wanru was very depressed about this. She thought that after a long time, Bi'er would forget the young man in blue that she met in Nanshan. Woolen cloth.

Jia Wanru mentioned it to me several times. She picked a few sons with good family backgrounds and asked me to marry her. When Bi'er gets married, she will naturally give up.Yuan Qingshen was not among those young masters. It seems that Jia Wanru in her previous life probably didn't like this weak champion at all.

At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, two unexpected visitors came to Datong. They were Ouyang Zhen, the sixteenth prince of Zheng State, and Ouyang Heng, his younger brother, the eighteenth prince.

Ouyang Zhen is an elegant and elegant person, but Ouyang Heng is a playful master who has been traveling abroad and rarely returns to Zheng Guo. On the surface, he seems to have no interest in the throne at all.

According to what the spies told me, since the old emperor Ouyang Hai was dying, he hoped his sons would stay by his bedside before he died, but Ouyang Heng couldn't find him, so Ouyang Zhen had to go out to find him himself. I finally found him in Datong, so I stopped by to visit, as a guest or something.

If I hadn't known in advance that Ouyang Chu intended to win over "King Rui", I wouldn't have had any doubts about the arrival of Ouyang Zhen and Ouyang Heng. After all, they had very good reasons.

The two princes came, and I placed them in the capital’s annex, which was specially designed to receive distinguished guests from abroad. I also sent the First Prince Li Chen to entertain them well. Li Chen works in the Ministry of Rites. I'm taking advantage of Li Chen's beauty to find out about the two princes.

Anyone who met Li Chen for the first time was amazed by his appearance, and these two princes were no exception. Ouyang Heng became interested in Li Chen, and he was attracted to him.The squinting eyes made Li Chen very disgusted, but that Ouyang Zhen quickly came to his senses, said hello to Li Chen, apologized on behalf of Ouyang Heng, and there was no outrageous meaning in his words and demeanor.It seems that Ouyang Zhen is indeed a person who has seen big scenes and can calm down.

A few days later, I hosted a banquet for the two princes in Changhuan Palace. My children and high-ranking concubines were present, as well as my ministers and their families.I still can't figure out what the purpose of these two princes appearing in Datong is, I hope I can use this banquet to clarify these things.

At the banquet, all the other children came except for my youngest daughter Zhen Er who was not able to attend due to some discomfort. I first introduced my sons one by one to the two princes of Zheng Guo, from Prince Li Yi to fifteen prince Li Min, When it was my turn to introduce the princess, I noticed that Ouyang Zhen was stunned for a moment, but soon returned to her original appearance. It was my second princess, Bier, whose complexion changed from white to blue, and then from green to red. When she greeted her, she didn't react at all, she was just in a daze, if Yun'er hadn't pulled her from the side, she would have made a fool of herself.

It can be seen that Bier at today's banquet is very unusual.

I symbolically asked Ouyang Zhen how his father was doing recently, and expressed my greetings as a neighboring country.Ouyang Zhen is very good at diplomacy, and he talks happily with everyone.But Bi'er has been silent all the time, with her head lowered, and occasionally she will quietly raise her head to look at Ouyang Zhen, her eyes are full of affection, and she is still on the verge of speaking. This couldn't be love at first sight, right?

But I quickly dismissed this idea, Bi'er has been thinking about the young man in blue, I remember Jia Wanru once told me that the young man in blue's pseudonym was "Ruan Zhen", suddenly an idea popped up , that young man in blue is probably Ouyang Zhen.

Zheng Guo is really aggressive. He started with "King Rui" and hooked up Bi'er. If I hadn't wiped out King Zhenrui long ago, I really wouldn't have discovered Zheng Guo's so many tricks.

***Switch the angle of view***

After the banquet was over, Duanmuchen walked towards his palace, accompanied by his inner eunuch Xiao Lanzi.Now it's late at night, only Duanmuchen and Xiaolanzi are walking on the road.

As long as you pass through the Little Red Garden, you will arrive at the Laiyi Hall. At this moment, a black shadow appeared in front of Duanmuchen. Before he could react, the little basket beside him was hit on the neck and passed out. .

Duanmuchen thought it was an assassin, so startled, he took a few steps back, and was about to call for help when the black figure said, "Long time no see, I didn't have time to talk just now, I should call you Prince Chen, Prince Chen, or Concubine Chen?"

"You are..." Duanmuchen felt that the voice was both strange and familiar.

The black shadow turned around, and Duanmuchen could see clearly that it was the sixteenth prince of Zheng Guo, Ouyang Zhen, who was talking about at the banquet just now!

"I don't know what the Prince Zhen is asking me for?" Duanmuchen's voice was very cold, obviously guarded.

"I just want to talk to you." Ouyang Zhen smiled, his smile was indeed reassuring, but Duanmuchen refused to follow his tricks, "I have nothing to talk to you about."

"Don't be so unkind, count the days, we haven't seen each other for 12 years, we can still be considered friends, it's okay to catch up." Ouyang Zhen didn't take Duanmuchen's hostility seriously at all.

Duanmuchen snorted coldly, and said: "Then why didn't you mention to the emperor that we are old acquaintances at the banquet just now?" Ouyang Zhen didn't tell the truth in front of everyone, but came to meet him in private, there must be nothing good.

Ouyang Zhen didn't answer Duanmuchen's question, but instead asked, "You don't hate Datong for destroying your country?"

"Are you provoking?" Duanmuchen asked expressionlessly.

"I'm telling the truth." From Ouyang Zhen's point of view, as the prince of a country, he was destroyed and captured, and in the end he was buried under the body of others. How could he bear this kind of humiliation, "I hope you can help me." He I have inquired that although Duanmuchen is not favored, his daughter is very popular with the emperor of Datong. As long as he takes advantage of this, he can come up with a perfect assassination plan.

"I can't help you, you can find someone else." Duanmuchen replied without thinking.

Ouyang Zhen didn't expect Duanmuchen to refuse, shouldn't he hate it? !Ouyang Zhen couldn't help mocking: "Why, you fell in love with that emperor? Can you forget the hatred for the ruin of his country?"

Duanmuchen didn't get angry because of this, as long as he knew many things in his heart, he didn't need to explain it to outsiders, let alone the other party was a Zheng Guoren who was not in the same boat as Datong.

Duanmuchen didn't want to get too entangled with this, so he simply changed the subject and said, "What's going on with you and Princess Bi'er?"

Ouyang Zhen was stunned for a moment, then smiled again, "It was discovered? I thought it was well hidden."

Duanmuchen frowned and said: "Do you think I'm blind? I can tell, let alone the emperor, what do you want to do?"

"Me?" Ouyang Zhen said with a smile: "I am in love with Princess Bi'er, I want to marry her, what do you think?"

"The two are in love?" Duanmuchen only felt as if he had heard a big joke. He was sent to Zheng State when he was eight years old and served as a proton for four full years. He knew the royal family of Zheng State fairly well, so Duanmu Chen knows very well who Ouyang Zhen likes. Ouyang Zhen is not someone who will change his mind. How could he suddenly fall in love with Princess Bi'er of Datong.

Ouyang Zhen was still thinking about convincing Duanmuchen again, but there were a few eunuchs hurrying towards him not far ahead, but Ouyang Zhen couldn't help it, so he hid immediately to avoid being discovered.

The people who rushed over were the little maids of Laiyi Palace. Seeing Duanmuchen and Xiao Lanzi lying on the ground, the little maids hurriedly asked: "Msg Chen, what... what happened?"

Duanmuchen also didn't want people to find out about his meeting with Ouyang Zhen, and Bai was suspected by others, so he found an excuse and said: "Little Lanzi may not be feeling well, and he passed out while walking. This palace is still thinking about how to call people to come, by the way, why did you come here?"

"Ms. Chen Concubine, you haven't come back for so long, we are here to look for you," the little maid hurriedly replied: "Princess Zhen'er has passed out from illness, you should go and have a look!"
