Reborn as King again

He Wenliu came over obediently and sat down. I smiled knowingly, picked up the chopsticks and handed them to him, "Let's eat."

As usual, I ate in an orderly manner, occasionally adding something to He Wenliu's bowl, regardless of whether he liked it or not.

He Wenliu didn't talk much when he was eating and sleeping. He Wenliu usually didn't talk much, but today he was even more silent.Looking at his smug look, I'm afraid he's only thinking about how to talk to me.

Our relationship was cold for three years because of the white-eyed wolf. I don't want this to happen again, especially He Wenliu, who loves me.He was careful, and silently organized his words in his heart, thinking how to speak so as not to make me angry.

"Your Majesty..." He finally mentioned it to me, and he asked softly and tentatively: "It is rumored that the real identity of the new Emperor Zheng Guo is Ji'er, is this... true?"

I didn't answer, but stopped eating with my hands, and looked at He Wenliu expressionlessly.When He Wenliu saw me like this, he thought I was angry, how could he dare to continue the following topic, he didn't even dare to look at me, and lowered his head.

"Is it because of this that you lose your appetite?" I asked suddenly.

"Huh?" He Wenliu was taken aback, not knowing what my intention was.

"I see that you eat a lot less today than before, and I thought you were sick." I didn't care about He Wenliu's reaction, so I pretended I didn't see it, and conveniently put a piece of Bazhen tofu in his bowl. Said: "I thought something happened to you, it turned out to be because of the identity of the new Emperor Zheng Guo."

He Wenliu saw that I seemed to be in a good mood, so he boldly continued the topic, "If Ji'er is still alive, can the emperor let him go?"

A lesson learned from the past, I will definitely not confront He Wenliu head-on on this issue. Since He Wenliu already knows that there is such a person, he will definitely try his best to find out. It would be strange if they fell out.

"I originally wanted to wait for that Ouyang Ji to be escorted back to the capital, and then tell you, so that you don't worry about it these days, but I didn't expect you to know." What I said was pure nonsense, if it wasn't for Chen Haoshan's assertion, Leaving Baiyanlang's life, do I still need to lie to He Wenliu to deceive others like this, "If it is proved that the person is really Ji'er, don't worry, I will not kill him."

I think these words are quite convincing. When Li Ji made so many troubles back then, he could be wiped out just because of the fact that he was named a "murderer". Don't care to come again.

"You really won't kill him?" Obviously, He Wenliu didn't quite believe me, "But the ex-prince..." He Wenliu immediately stopped at this point, and he also realized that he had gone too far.

Former prince Li Yi?He is not my own son.But I would never say such words, and of course I would not argue with He Wenliu, the more we quarrel, the more people will be pushed towards the white-eyed wolf.

So I put down the bowls and chopsticks in my hand, stretched out my left hand, and put up my little finger, as a promise to He Wenliu, "Why don't we pull the hook."

"Huh?" He Wenliu looked at me with wide eyes.

I touched the bridge of my nose with my other hand in embarrassment. I seldom do such childish behaviors. I learned this trick from Li Jue.

"If he is really Ji'er, then as long as he admits his mistake, I will protect him from death." I said seriously.

"Really?" He Wenliu couldn't believe it, because I'm not such an easy-going person, and this is much more serious than what happened to the former prince.

I hooked my little finger and urged him to pull the hook quickly, "Really, I will never break my promise."

"Okay." He Wenliu also raised his little finger and pulled the hook with me.

Zheng Guoxin Emperor Ouyang Chu was arrested, and most of the Ouyang clan died due to the previous rebellion, leaving only a small part, the children left by Ouyang Chu, but those people were also wiped out by Chen Hao I sent , Zheng Guo had no leader for a while, and the rebels in Huaiyang City gave up their hearts and gave up resistance because Zheng Guo was broken.When I ordered people to open the gate of Huaiyang City, the hundreds of thousands of rebels had already been sluggish like defeated roosters.Things went very smoothly, and Zheng Guo finally surrendered to Datong.I still managed to swallow the entire Zheng State with the least amount of troops.

During this period of time, I was very busy, regaining the state of Zheng, appeasing the people, and I dispatched a large number of officials. There must be some people in the state of Zheng who are dissatisfied and want to resist, but they are a minority after all, and the people of Liming will not care about the country Who is the emperor in China? What they care about is whether they can live a good life, stop being displaced, stop fighting. No one in the Central Plains knows my temperament. Difficult with him.

I can't push people too hard at the beginning, so as not to make them jump over the wall in a hurry, so I instructed the officials sent to Zheng Guo to promise that as long as the city gates are opened, I will let the past go, and the prefects of each city will continue their work. The position, but the master is replaced by me.Now, seeing that the emperors of their own country have been captured, and I offer such good conditions, why don’t the eunuchs surrender one after another?

Of course, these are just appeasement policies. After the reunification of the Central Plains, I can use the reason that local officials are transferred every three years to dispatch those prefects one by one.

A month later, the prison car escorted to Zheng Guoxin Emperor Ouyang Chu returned to the capital mightily. Palace, go to Taiye Hall.

After someone enters the palace, there is no need for He Wenliu to inquire by himself, I immediately go to Qingluan Hall to pick him up, and take him to Taiye Hall to meet people.

When we stepped into the Hall of Taiye, we saw a group of people surrounded by the center of the hall. When the group saw me and He Wenliu coming, they all knelt down to pay their respects.

Among those people, there was only one person who did not kneel down, and that person was Ouyang Ji, no, I should call him Li Jicai now.

I remember that the last time I saw Li Ji was two years ago. He was still a thin boy with a similar face to He Wenliu, and even his temperament was almost exactly the same.

But Li Ji standing in front of us now, his temperament has completely changed, or this is the original appearance, he has returned to the feeling he had more than ten years ago, indifferent and precocious that does not match his age.

After two years, Li Ji's stature has grown a lot, and he is not as thin as before. When he was a child, or in his youth, he still resembled He Wenliu, but now that he has grown up, his facial features seem to be able to find me. It's no wonder that when Chen Hao caught him, he was shocked, saying that he was not the child of He Wenliu and me, and probably no one would believe him.

"Ji'er...?" He Wenliu was very excited when he saw Li Ji, and asked with some uncertainty, "Are you Ji'er?"

Li Ji just looked at He Wenliu with a smile, his crescent eyes were exactly the same as He Wenliu's.

He Wenliu wanted to say something more, but I took the first step. I sneered and asked, "It's just that they look similar. Is there any proof?" As I spoke, I walked forward slowly, and pulled He Wenliu was with me, and I sat on the main seat, holding He Wenliu and sitting beside me.

For my doubts, Li Ji also mocked, "You still hate me so much."

One of the guards who escorted Li Ji cupped his hands and said to us: "Qizou the Emperor, after General Chen captured this man, he found something on his body."

Wanfu went down the hall, took the things, and presented them to me. I took a closer look and found it was a lake-blue sachet.

Back then when Li Ji drowned Li Qi, the city was full of disturbances. The ministers all knew that the reason Li Ji was able to be convicted was because he left behind a lake-blue sachet at the scene, and that sachet was the only one in the world. , is Yun'er's first embroidery, given to Li Ji.

But He Wenliu couldn't wait to pick it up, and read it several times, this time he was really sure, "Your Majesty..." I patted the back of He Wenliu's hand to reassure him, I did what I said.

"Why, you lost the battle, you were captured, and you still have the face to come back?" I pointed at his nose and scolded, "Why did you go so early?! You went to Zheng State, changed your name and surname, I can understand, To survive, but two years ago, when your mother and concubine asked you, how did you answer? You denied on the spot that you were Ji'er! Now that you have become a bereaved dog, do you still want to be the prince of the Li family?!"

"Why not?" Li Ji said confidently, "I am the child of my concubine, why not come back to see him?"

He Wenliu, who was sitting next to me, was stiff all over. He looked at me beggingly, hoping that I would not get angry because of this, but I just pretended not to see it.

This brat is exactly the same as back then. He is still so provocative. He begged for mercy when Zheng Guo was captured. Now that he saw He Wenliu, he started to provoke me to do it. This time I will not be fooled. Yes.

"If I want to kill you, why wait until I escort you back to the capital?" I snorted coldly, and said, "Back then in Zheng State, no matter what you said, as long as I ordered you, you wouldn't be able to live at all!"

Li Ji was silent, staring at me stubbornly, his eyes were full of hatred, which made me feel uncomfortable.

Li Ji's hateful gaze confuses me. I probably haven't done anything to make him hate him, "I've turned a blind eye to those petty tricks and tricks you have grown up since you were young, and sometimes I even help you hide it from me." Your mother and concubine, and how did you repay me? You are my prince, and I think I treat you kindly, but you keep causing me trouble again and again, do you feel sorry for your conscience! "
