Reborn as King again

Chapter 24 Wontons

We continued to walk in the lively night market, He Wenliu ate the candy man two or three times, he licked his mouth, as if he didn't eat enough.After a while, He Wenliu seemed to have a new goal.

He walked to a stall selling windmills, grabbed my hand, and wanted to buy a windmill.This windmill is indeed beautifully made, with three upper, middle and lower floors, and three colors. It is still made of glossy paper. When the breeze blows, it will wander around there.I asked him to pick one at random, but he looked left and right, and it took him a long time to pick a stick of incense before he found the one he liked, took it off, and dragged me away contentedly.

He was blowing the windmill all the way, very happy, I said helplessly: "The sugar man just now is also like this, why do you like children's things so much?"

He Wenliu was a little unhappy when I said this. He glanced at me and said aggrievedly: "I intend to give this windmill to Dan'er." He paused and continued: "Dan'er lived in the palace since he was a child. There is nothing interesting in the palace, and I am not going to bring her a windmill back, so that it will be fresh for her to play with."

I originally wanted to tease him and say a few more words, but at this moment, my stomach let out a "goo~", He Wenliu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Your Majesty must be hungry."

I just had breakfast with He Wenliu in the morning, and then went to Dali Temple to hear the trial, tossing and tossing until evening, He Wenliu just ate a candy man to fill my stomach, and I am hungry until now.

He Wenliu looked around, pointed to a corner not far away and said to me: "Your Majesty, let's go there and eat something." When I looked around, there was a small stall in a corner. Although there were many customers, But it is definitely not clean, I would rather take He Wenliu to the best restaurant in the capital for a meal.

He Wenliu saw my thoughts, he took my hand, and wanted to go there, and said: "Let's go there first, if the emperor thinks it's not good, we can change it later." He Wenliu said If he didn't give in, I followed him.

We found an empty table and sat down. The paint on the table was peeled off, and the chairs were swinging back and forth. This was the first time I ate in such an environment as a street corner.After He Wenliu also sat down, he said to the busy people inside, "Boss, two bowls of wonton stew."

After a while, the boss came over with two big steaming bowls.He Wenliu picked up the spoon and said to me: "Try it quickly, this is called wonton stew, it is the food of ordinary people, it is not available in the palace, it is delicious."

I looked down at this big guy who was holding hot soup. There were a dozen or so dumpling-like things in the soup. There was still a smear of oil floating on the surface of the soup. There were some seaweed and shrimp skins under the oil. I also took a spoon and filled a ravioli stew Put it in my mouth, um, the taste is really good, the meat is juicy and delicious, I took another sip of the soup, even the soup is very delicious.I was already hungry, but I ate three bowls in one go before I felt a little full.

I seldom talked to He Wenliu during meals, and it is even more so now.While eating, He Wenliu looked towards the market, and there seemed to be something attracting him all the time.He entered the palace at the age of 15 and has never left in the past five years. He usually only grows flowers and plants in the palace, reads books and paints, and lives like an old man.But I forgot, He Wenliu is still so young, how could he be willing to stay in the palace and waste his youthful years, I looked at him with a curious look on everything, and felt a little chilly in my heart.

"Concubine Wen." I tested him and said, "If you like life outside the palace so much, how about I give you freedom and let you go out of the palace?"

I just said that, but He Wenliu immediately turned his head and looked at me in horror, "I... Your Majesty, my minister... Did I do something to make you angry? Tell me, I can change .”

This... what kind of answer is this?What is "can be changed"?He Wenliu didn't seem to understand what I meant, so I explained: "I see that you have been very excited since just now, it seems that you have never been like this in the palace. I know you are a man, and a man has ambitions in all directions, so I don't like it." Stay in the inner courtyard of the deep palace. People of your age should go out and walk around more."

As if hearing some bad news, He Wenliu suddenly grabbed my hand and said with a trembling voice: "No, I don't want to leave the palace, it doesn't matter if I go out for a walk or something, I... I don't want to leave the palace."

"Why is that?" I deliberately asked.

He Wenliu lowered his head, was silent for a while, and said slowly: "Because...because you are not outside the palace."

I smiled and patted his trembling hand, and said: "Okay, if Concubine Wen doesn't want to leave the palace, she won't leave the palace. I promise you that there will always be a place for Concubine Wen in my harem, okay?"

"En." He Wenliu heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.

He Wenliu loves me, has always loved me, but I didn't expect his love to be so humble, so he just begged me to keep him.I was very bad, and I used his love for me to destroy his hopes, break his wings, put chains on him, imprison him in the harem forever, and let him be my caged bird.

On the second day, no one in the court came forward to speak. Yesterday, He Wenwu's case took a turn for the worse. He Wenwu was not convicted, but Qin Tianlang, who helped to sue the imperial court, was imprisoned in Dali Temple.Now the ministers can only watch from the sidelines, they must first understand what is going on.

In the evening, I stayed in Baoge Palace. Jia Wanru had already dressed up and waited on me. By the way, she wanted to know the situation from me.After all, Qin Tianlang is his father Jia Fan's favorite student.

"Your Majesty, my concubine heard that you went to Dali Temple with Concubine Wen to hear the trial yesterday." Jia Wanru pretended to be timid, as if she was afraid of offending me, and asked in a low voice: "You really agreed to Concubine Wen's plea, what will you do?" Wenwu was acquitted?"

I said in a tone that had nothing to do with me: "It's not all your fault." Jia Wanru was anxious when she heard this, and asked: "What does this have to do with the concubine? The concubine and He Wenwu didn't know each other at all, and he couldn't even talk to him." I never said that." He Wenwu was released by Dali Temple yesterday, and now nothing is clear, Jia Wanru must draw a clear line with him.

"I'm not talking about He Wenwu, but about Xiao Ba." I had planned to use Xiao Ba as a shield a long time ago, "Didn't you coax Xiao Ba to find evidence to reverse He Wenwu's case? Don't tell me , Xiaoba really found the evidence."

The more Jia Wanru asked, the more questions she had. She said curiously: "It's enough to prove He Wenwu's innocence, and you can also get related to the Ministry of War Shangshu, Lord Qin. What evidence did the Eighth Prince find?"

"What do you ask so many questions?" I pretended to be angry and said, "Concubine Wan, I know that Qin Tianlang is a student of your father Jia Fan, but this time I am doing it for your own good. I'm afraid you will be sad, when you have a chance to meet Jia Fan, tell him that this Qin Tianlang has committed a serious crime, it's best not to protect him, so as not to get into trouble." Jia Wanru saw that I was a little annoyed, so she didn't dare to say any more.I didn't tell Jia Wanru the reason either, I just made her feel that the situation was very serious and asked the Jia family to give up Qin Tianlang.

A few days later, Master Yan of Dali Temple completed the interrogation of Qin Tianlang's case, and the result was "collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country, and framing Zhongliang". , had already received the news from Jia Wanru, and wished that the relationship with Qin Tianlang would be severed.So no one pleaded for Qin Tianlang.

Qin Tianlang "collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country", and he should be punished for his crimes. The Qin family implicated nearly [-] lives, and all of them were taken to the Meridian Gate and beheaded for public display.In this way, one of Jia Fan's right-hand men was cut off by me, but this is far from enough. I will slowly weaken the power of their Jia family and disintegrate their family bit by bit.

After Qin Tianlang was beheaded, the ministers in the court talked a lot, mainly because of Qin Tianlang's "enemy" who "collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country", Zheng Guo.For this reason, the officials are divided into two factions. One is the main combat faction. They think that Zheng Guo is too deceitful. their spirit.But the Zhuhe faction thinks that Zheng Guo is a powerful country in the Central Plains just like our Datong, and its military strength is not inferior to ours. Moreover, there are two small countries between Datong and Zheng Guo. If you want to attack Zheng Guo, you must first destroy those two small countries. For not cost-effective.

In my opinion, now is a good time to attack Zheng Guo. First of all, we have become famous as a teacher. They first arranged for "spying children and grandchildren" to come to Datong to make trouble. We are just taking revenge.Secondly, Zheng Guo just fought several battles a few years ago, and now he is recuperating, and his military strength is not as strong as before.Before He Wenwu used the method of massacring the city to destroy the Yuan Kingdom, all the small countries in the Central Plains were frightened, fearing that Datong’s next target would be themselves, so the two small countries separated from Zheng Guo will definitely know each other after seeing our Datong’s iron hooves He opened the city gate, disarmed and surrendered.

Just after He Wenwu healed his wounds at home, he asked me for orders. He wanted to personally lead troops to attack Zheng Guo.He Wenwu's reason was that he felt that he was framed and imprisoned by Zheng Guo's spies, he was very useless, and wanted to fight the enemy himself to vent his hatred.He Wenwu's decision just echoed my thoughts, and I immediately agreed to let him raise troops quickly.

In fact, I did this out of selfishness, because I found out that my eighth younger brother Li Mubing's feelings for He Wenwu are not only admiration, but also deep love, and I will definitely not allow this to happen.Then He Wenwu is 30 years old this year, a martial artist, and his wife died, and Xiao Ba has just turned fifteen, and he has been loved by all kinds of people in the palace since he was a child. If the two of them stand together, Xiao Ba's head is less than He Wenwu's chest, and He Wenwu's arms are thicker than Xiao Ba's thighs. No matter how you look at it, Xiao Ba is the one at the bottom. I can't let Xiao Ba suffer.He Wenwu went out to fight this time, and he wouldn't come back after four or five years. I just happened to be able to make Xiao Ba die.

As soon as He Wenwu received the imperial decree, he immediately led his troops to leave the capital without delay, as if fleeing for his life. I guess he was also scared by Xiaoba, who couldn't afford to provoke him and couldn't hide~ Four or five days after He Wenwu left the capital Xiao Ba just got the news, his little eyes turned red, no matter how I coaxed him, he just ignored me, in the end I had no choice but to promise him that as long as he was over 16 years old, he could leave Beijing privately, I didn’t care where he went , This is how to coax him.

The author has something to say: Xiao Shou's love for Xiao Gong is a little distorted, and Xiao Gong's feelings for Xiao Shou are also a little distorted, let them be twisted like this.
