Reborn as King again

I had just recovered from a serious illness, and I was still a little dizzy in my mind. I was still supported by Wanfu to the front of the hall of the Golden Luan Hall and sat on the dragon chair.

Maybe it's because my complexion is not very good, all civil and military officials in the Golden Luan Hall knelt down one after another, cupped their hands and said, "Please take care of the dragon body, Your Majesty!"

I looked around at the officials in the hall, and saw that their faces were serious, and they must have started a war of words, and the flames of this war would definitely revolve around Li Qian's impeachment of Prince Li Yi in behalf of Yuan Qingshen the day before yesterday.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!" Jiang Shizhong spoke.

"Say." I said.

"I heard that in the Chengqing Palace a few days ago, His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince was rejected by the emperor because of Yuan Shilang." Jiang Shizhong cupped his hands and said, "I just want to intercede for His Highness the Eighth Prince. His Highness has been respectful since he was a child, and has become a brother." And studious, he is definitely not someone who likes to frame others, so please spare His Highness the Eighth Prince, Your Majesty."

"I really don't know why the servant made such a statement?" Jia Fan's student, Zhen Tejin, a member of the Jia family, questioned, saying: "The emperor didn't mean to blame, why did he say that His Highness the Eighth Prince was spared?"

"The day before yesterday, the emperor announced his decree, saying..." The servant has reached this point, so it is difficult to open his mouth. The decree is that the crown prince will never consider the eighth prince Li Qian. The servant is not a fool, so it is impossible to do so Say it directly.

"It's about the crown prince's business." Zhen Tejin opened up the matter, and said: "The emperor has already installed a crown prince, so what is there to fight for, His Royal Highness the Eighth Prince!"

"But...but Yuan Shilang showed his innocence by death that day," Jiang Shizhong looked at me, trying to persuade me: "Your Majesty, it's better to investigate clearly."

Zhen Tejin snorted coldly, and said mockingly: "Jiang Shizhong, you sound like you are questioning the emperor's judgment. You have committed an unforgivable crime!"

How could Jiang Shizhong allow people to pour dirty water like this, he retorted sharply: "Don't provoke right and wrong here, I'm just discussing the facts, then Yuan Shilang is the pillar of the country, he has been humiliated in such a way, it is really unreasonable not to seek justice for him, If this matter is not handled well, who will dare to become an official in the court in the future?!" Jiang Shizhong paused, and continued: "If the crown prince really has nothing to do with this matter, why bother me? Send someone to investigate clearly. Now this is unclear , the reputation of the prince will also be damaged, the prince will choose a concubine this year, if such a thing happens, who would dare to marry his own daughter to the prince?!"

When Zhen Tejin heard the words, he yelled loudly: "Shizhong Jiang, you are simply presumptuous! How can you allow you to talk nonsense about the royal family?!"

Jiang Shizhong is also straight-tempered, saying whatever he thinks of, "Isn't what I said?! This matter can't be settled like this." Then he raised his head and advised me: "Your Majesty, it's really unacceptable to hide your ears and steal your bell. Of!"

The officials below were all arguing, and my head hurts again. It seems that when I go back, I will have to take side effects. Said: "Your Majesty, why don't you go to court early..."

"It's okay." I shook my head and sneered, "I can bear it."

"Your Majesty." At this time, a slightly old voice came out, and the person who came out was Jia Fan, Prime Minister Zuo who stood at the forefront of all the officials. He has assisted me for so many years. He is almost 70 years old. He is the crown prince's greatest help. If the crown prince is in trouble, he will not be happy. If the crown prince falls, then their Jia family will be finished!

Jia Fan knew that the crown prince made a big fuss this time, and if he didn't handle it well, the officials would not let it go.

Jia Fan walked out slowly, came to the center of the hall, thumped and knelt on the ground, he said: "Your Majesty, this old minister has been an official in the court for many years, and he is considered a decent person. To be fair, the prince did have some mistakes in his words and deeds." But he also knows what to do and what not to do, the abuse of Yuan Shilang must be nothing!"

"Prime Minister Jia," Fang Huazhi, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, is not easy to deal with. Yuan Qingshen is his son-in-law. Now that his daughter is a widow, and Yuan Qingshen died in humiliation, their Fang family can no longer hold their heads up in the capital. "You are the prince's grandfather, so naturally you are talking to him!"

Regarding Yuan Qingshen's matter, Jia Fan asked the prince immediately after Li Qian's impeachment. The prince only said that he didn't do it himself, and he didn't want to talk about other things. Jia Fan dealt with it in private, and all the evidence of ignoring the prince was destroyed. The witnesses who couldn't be bought were also silenced. Even if someone went to investigate, they couldn't find any clues!

Jia Fan said confidently: "I guarantee my official position! This should be all right?!" Jia Fan said, he sighed, and said with tears in his eyes: "Yes, I am the prince's grandfather, but I am also the prince's grandfather. Knowing right and wrong, before the righteousness of the country, what's the harm in righteousness and extermination of relatives? If the crown prince really does such a thing, I will be the first to spare him!"

Jia Fan boasted so much, and the ministers have nothing to refute.

I pretended that I couldn't bear it, and said very understandingly: "Prime Minister Jia, please hurry up, I believe you are, the crown prince definitely did not abuse Yuan Shilang." From the corner of the eye, he glanced at Li Shao who was standing on the left side of the lobby. Now that things have developed to this point, can he bear it?

Li Shaocai had just entered the DPRK to discuss matters, and this was the first time he saw ministers talking fiercely.Li Shao can see that the matter has already favored the prince, and there is only one chance. If the matter of Yuan Qingmei is exposed on the Golden Luan Palace now, let alone the prince, even Jia Fan, who had just guaranteed the ticket, will suffer. !

Li Shao remembered what happened in the morning, someone came to report this morning, saying that Concubine Wen's personal maid quietly went to Baoge Palace and stayed for half an hour before coming out.Li Shao originally thought that Concubine Wen was a fair person, but he didn't expect that he would also be on the side of Concubine Wan. If things were over like this now, and Concubine Wan would definitely call Jia Fan into the palace in the next court, wouldn't his previous efforts be wasted? !

Thinking of this, Li Shao clenched his fists, he walked out of the queue, cupped his hands and said: "Father, if you want to report, it's about the elder brother of the prince." Whether you succeed or not is up for grabs!

Sure enough, Li Shao sent people to watch He Wenliu's every move. I pretended to be surprised, as if I didn't expect that my son who had just become a consul would talk about something in the Golden Palace, "What else is there for Shaoer?"

"Actually, I also think that the eighth brother is wronged, but since Prime Minister Jia has said so, I won't get entangled in this anymore." Li Shao glanced at Jia Fan and said, "What I want to say is Another thing about the prince's elder brother. Father, you have been feeling unwell recently, and I wanted to tell you now, but I'm afraid it will be too late and the witnesses won't be able to bear it..."

I frowned and said, "What on earth are you trying to say? Don't play around with me."

"Father, do you still remember Empress Shuyuan?" Li Shao asked.

Before I could open my mouth, Li Yi, who was standing in front of Li Shao, suddenly changed his expression. He said loudly, "Seventh brother, what are you talking about?! How can people in the harem discuss it in the Golden Temple?!"

Seeing that the crown prince was so panicked, Li Shao was even more certain in his heart, he said unhurriedly: "I remember that Empress Shuyuan should have drowned in August last year, but yesterday I accidentally rescued a woman who fell into the water, I was surprised to find that she is actually Mistress Shuyuan." Of course, he did not forget to add: "Mistress Shuyuan is the younger sister of Yuan Shilang, and she jumped into the lake from the cruise ship of the prince's brother!"

"You're spitting blood! There's nothing wrong with it!" Li Yi wished he could tear Li Shao's mouth apart, but he didn't know it when he was distracted. The more irrational he was at this moment, the more it meant there was something wrong.

"There is no bloody person, just let the father meet." Li Shao said indifferently.

At this time, Jia Fan was also trembling all over, and his forehead was sweating. I hope this is not true. It can be seen from the prince's reaction that there is a big problem!Jia Fan tried to ease the atmosphere, postponed the matter for a while, so as to make a long-term plan, "Your Highness, the world is so big, there are many wonders, and it is inevitable that people have similarities. Could it be that you have misunderstood someone?"

Li Yi also echoed repeatedly: "Yes, you have admitted the wrong person! The Ji Shizi of Zheng Guo has nothing to do with Concubine Wen and they are seven points alike. There are many similar people in the world."

"You can tell if you look like the emperor or not," Li Shaodao said, "Miss Shuyuan is a concubine in the harem. When she died, her body was soaked in a bad shape. She can only be identified by her clothes. What if Mistress Shuyuan is not dead? ? You can let those who usually serve Empress Shuyuan recognize it."

"Your Highness the Seventh Prince, it is impolite for you to do this," Zhen Tejin naturally stood on the side of the Jia family, "The Golden Luan Palace is a place to discuss national affairs, how can ordinary people enter, let alone an unknown woman!"

"Whether the identity is unknown or not, the emperor will find out when he checks," Jiang Shizhong countered: "You are so afraid of letting this woman see the emperor, are you guilty?!" Then, Jiang Shizhong suggested to me: "Your Majesty, since His Highness the Seventh Prince and the Crown Prince Your Highness has his own opinion, why don't all the officials present vote with a show of hands and let everyone decide whether to let this person enter the Golden Palace?!"

"Jiang Shizhong, you are simply presumptuous!" Li Yi saw the needles and provocatively said: "What are you?! Why should your ministers decide?! Datong is my Li family's world, and my father is my Datong emperor. Everything should be done by my father. What the emperor says counts, what qualifications do you have to make decisions for the father?!"

As soon as Li Yi's provocative words came out, Jiang Shizhong also noticed that his words were not condescending, and immediately knelt down and explained: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I don't mean that! I am... I am..."

"Okay! Why are you arguing?! I'm already having a headache!" I waved my sleeves to tell them to shut up, and then snorted coldly: "Isn't it just to meet someone? What's the big deal? Since Shaoer said to help The person in charge is Mei Shuyuan, but the crown prince said no, then bring him up, and then order people to find the maids who served Mei Shuyuan from the harem, and let them recognize it."

"Father!" Li Yi yelled in shock, and he looked at me in horror and timidity.It seems to be asking me for help, wanting me to turn a blind eye and close one.

In Li Yi's heart, I, a father who loves me so much, who forgives his father in everything, can naturally understand the words in his eyes. According to his past experience, I will let him go at this time. Who told him to be my father? The most "loving" son.

With such a high praise, Li Yi naturally became the target of public criticism. The brothers wanted to pull him into the water, the officials wanted to change the master and assistant, and Ouyang Ji was secretly promoting all these. It was time to let go of Li Yi.

"Yi'er, since you haven't done it before, it doesn't matter if you let me meet. If someone wrongs you, I will definitely stand up and uphold justice for you."
