Reborn as King again

Although I was demoted and exiled, I still have three cards in my hole. As long as my father dies, I have the ability to turn around.

The first hole card is Little Lv Zi.The chief eunuch in the palace of the mother and concubine.

Little Lvzi followed her mother and concubine since she was a child, sweet-mouthed and hard-working, and he protected me very much when I was a child. When I framed that bitch Deng Chengying, Little Lvzi also got involved.

Xiao Luzi is very popular in the palace, and in terms of seniority, he is the apprentice of Wanfu, the chief executive of the palace.

Wanfu is the most trusted eunuch of my father. He has been waiting on my father since he was a child. When his father was demoted to Yuncheng, he told Little Luzi that he must establish a good relationship with Wanfu and gain his full trust.

Father intended to pass on the throne to Li Shao. Although this was a fact recognized by the ministers, he also left a will to allow Li Shao to ascend the throne in a legitimate manner.However, the edict disappeared after the emperor's father entered the mausoleum, and the whole government and the public immediately exploded.

The edict was stolen by Little Luzi. Before his father died, Wan Fu, the head of the palace, must have known where the will was placed. Unknowingly stole the will.

No one would doubt Xiaoluzi, the emperor died, and the mother and concubine also went the next day to be buried in the imperial tomb. Xiaoluzi followed Wanfu and ran to guard the tomb for his former master.So when Li Shao ordered people to search the entire palace and the entire capital, they would not see the shadow of the will.

And my second hole card is my former companion, Su Zhuo.

The eighth prince, Li Qian, also coveted the throne. When he impeached the former prince Li Yi to no avail, he was scolded by his father and almost deposed.At that time, Su Zhuo comforted him and told him to wait quietly.

Now that there is no will, Su Zhuo quietly went to see Li Qian and went to provoke him. This is a good opportunity for him to win the throne. No one knows who the prince his father wants to be in the end. Li Qian can use this to make a fuss. To oppose Li Shao's ascension to the throne.

Li Shao was not happy at the time, after all he had been trained by his father for so long, he immediately united with his cronies, saying that Li Qian was ambitious to rebel.

Li Qian was not a vegetarian either, so he immediately bit Li Shao back.Li Qian's reasons are also very good. If the emperor finally decided to make Li Shao the crown prince, then why the edict is unknown? Li Shao must have stolen it when he realized that his own name was not written in the edict.

But in the end, the ministers decided to recognize Li Shao and let him inherit the throne.

After Li Shao ascended the throne, my third hole card came into play.When I returned to Datong that year, I arranged for an informant to enter Li Shao's mansion to be his counselor, and we had never been in touch, and no one knew about our relationship.

When I arranged for the informant to get close to Li Shao, I only gave him one task, which was to instigate Li Shao to impeach the former prince Li Yi. In the end, Li Yi was defeated because of Li Shao's exposure, and Li Shao was able to take over.Back then, before I left Datong to go back to Zheng, I arranged another task for the informant, which was to let him lurk slowly with Li Shao and become the number one adviser by his side until Li Shao really ascended the throne and find a chance to kill him. over him.

I don't need to know how the informant killed Li Shao, whether it was assassination or poisoning, I just want the result, Li Shao must die.

Due to the successful impeachment of Li Yi that year, Li Shao trusted my informant very much, so he never had the slightest doubt about him.

It is said that when Li Shao became the prince, the two concubines in the mansion were dedicated to Li Shao by my informants, and when Li Shao ascended the throne, those two concubines naturally entered the palace as concubines.Before they entered the palace, the informant quietly gave them a few packs of medicine, and had a chance to put them in Li Shao's tea.

When Li Shao stayed overnight with the two concubines, he couldn't sleep well at night, had nightmares, and was very depressed.At this time, my informant pretended to be worried and asked about Li Shao's situation, and Li Shao told the informant about his nightmare.So the informant bought a well-known fortune teller in the capital, and took Li Shao in disguise to interpret the dream.

The fortune teller said that Li Shao was haunted by the grievances of his ancestors, so he had nightmares, so he suggested that Li Shao build a temple for his ancestors. If it had been built earlier, he would fast and bathe for three days, and then go to the temple to pay his vows. Can.

For this kind of thing, it is better to believe it than to believe it, so Li Shao decided to go to the Taimiao to meet the previous emperors to fulfill his wish.

Li Shao had nightmares for several days in a row, so naturally he couldn't disclose it to his foreign ministers, so he even concealed the matter of going to the Taimiao.

And inside the Taimiao, there had long been killers who had turned into newly-ordained monks, waiting for Li Shao to come.Li Shao stepped into the tablet room of the Ancestral Temple, closed the door casually, walked to the futon, looked up at the spiritual tablets of previous Datong emperors in front of him, the killer hiding on the beam suddenly jumped behind him, covered Li Shao's mouth, and stabbed him wiped the neck.

Li Shao, who had been the emperor for more than 20 days, died just then, and the killer also took advantage of the chaos and fled without a trace.

Li Shao's death caught the whole Datong by surprise.At this time, the Central Plains had just been unified, and the new emperor died at a young age. Li Shao had two sons, the oldest of whom was only four years old, and he had not yet established a crown prince. One of Li Shao's sons was chosen to support Chengdi.

But things are often not that simple. At this time, Li Qian stood up again, objecting on the grounds that the prince was too young and did not have a prince, and directly expressed his ambition.

Li Qian already had supporters, but Su Zhuo secretly helped him at this time. After all, Su Zhuo's father, Su Zhongyi, still controlled the entire Imperial Forest Army.

Li Qian kept putting pressure on everyone, and finally won the throne and became the new emperor.

After Li Qian came to the throne, the rumors about Li Shao's death continued. Everyone talked about it, thinking that Li Shao's assassination was done by Li Qian, because he was the one who benefited in the end.

If Li Qian was thick-skinned enough, if Li Qian had the strong methods of his father, he would not have to be afraid of these at all, and he would just behead those talkative people.But I still know Li Qian a little bit. He is a man of high character and integrity, a gentleman. He has never done it, and he definitely doesn't want to be wronged.He couldn't explain it. In desperation, he went to Su Zhuo again, hoping that Su Zhuo could help him find a way.

For these years, Su Zhuo has been working in the Library Pavilion of the Imperial Academy. After Li Qian ascended the throne, he wanted Su Zhuo to enter the court to discuss affairs again and again, but Su Zhuo refused. yes.

But this time when Li Qian asked for help, Su Zhuo was very generous, and he thought of a way for Li Qian, that is, "amnesty the world", to express Li Qian's compassionate heart.

Li Qian went back and thought about it, and discussed it with the ministers, thinking that this is indeed a good thing to benefit the people, so in the second month of Li Qian's accession to the throne, he issued a decree to amnesty the world.

Amnesty to the world!

And I, Li Ji, the prince who was originally condemned by the emperor, went to Yuncheng with the body of a sinner, and now I am pardoned for my crimes because of the "amnesty for the world", and I can return to the capital.

When I set foot on the land of the capital again, ten years had passed, and Yun'er had long been waiting for me at the gate of the capital. She had changed from a hazy green girl to a mature and charming woman.As soon as I got off the carriage, Yun'er rushed to me and gave me a big hug.

"Ji'er, you are finally back, have you not forgotten me? If you forget me, I will never play with you again..."

Yun'er is still the same, she will never grow up, she doesn't understand anything, she always thought that I was demoted to Yuncheng when I was seven years old, and I didn't come back until now.

When I entered the Golden Luan Hall, all the ministers in the hall and Li Qian on the dragon chair were dumbfounded, because my appearance, I was so similar to my mother and concubine when I was a child, but when I was an adult, I was completely the shadow of my father. Fortunately, they thought that the father jumped out of the imperial tomb.

Over the years, I have kept my law and order, and I have never done anything beyond the border in Yuncheng. The criticisms of ministers against me are not as severe as they were ten years ago. Li Qian also received me very warmly, and even asked me if I would like to stay in the capital.

Regarding Li Qian's suggestion, I politely declined, and I told him that I'm used to life in Yuncheng, and I still want to go back.Although Li Qian was wary of me, but the environment in Yuncheng was too harsh, he had no doubts about it. In order to express his brotherly respect, he made me a vassal against all odds, and made me a vassal in Yuncheng and The two cities next to it were assigned to me.

I stayed in the capital for nearly two months. During this period, I tried my best to leave a good impression on the ministers. I also went to the imperial mausoleum to offer incense sticks to my father, mother and concubine.

According to the ancestral system, the emperor can decide which concubine lies next to him in the imperial mausoleum. It can be the queen, the favorite concubine, or anyone.In the eyes of the world, there is an unwritten view, that is, only after the death of the emperor, look at who is lying next to him, that person is the person whom the emperor loved and cared about the most during his lifetime.

I never thought that my mother and concubine would be buried in the imperial tomb. It is said that the day after the death of my father, my mother and concubine also died. The son told me that the father did not ask the mother concubine to accompany him, and the mother concubine accompanied the father voluntarily.

I stood at the gate of the imperial mausoleum. The gate of the imperial mausoleum has been locked. Unless I blow it open with explosives, even if I win the throne one day, I will not do so, because it will disturb the tranquility of my mother and concubine.

Little Lvzi has been standing behind me to accompany me, when no one was around, Little Lvzi took out a bright yellow scroll from his sleeve, and said softly: "His Royal Highness, this is the first emperor Legacy."

I took it and asked casually, "Have you seen it?"

Hearing the words, Little Luzi knelt down on the ground and denied it desperately, "Slave...Your servant is so courageous, I don't even dare!"

"I trust you." I said.

Then I opened the will, and glanced at the content inside. As I thought, the father passed the throne to Li Shao.

Suddenly, I saw a slightly raised spot in the lower left corner of the will, I took out a small dagger from my pocket, cut it open, and there was a small secret letter inside.

I tore open the secret letter, and there was only one line written inside, "If Ji lives, he must be killed."

I didn't expect that my father still had a hand, if the eyeliner he sent to me didn't get rid of me, I would let Li Shao do it later.This time I was finally not counted by my father, so I took the first step and stole the will.Even if the father's organs are exhausted, it's nothing more than that.

At this time, Xiao Luzi took out a letter and a jade pendant from his bosom, and offered them with both hands, he said: "His Royal Highness Ji, this is given to you by Concubine Wen's servant."

The jade pendant is a high-quality mutton fat jade, engraved with the word "Ping An", I remember that it belonged to my father, but somehow it was taken by my mother and concubine and handed over to me.

I opened the letter full of doubts, full of articles, in the beautiful handwriting of the concubine mother, in the letter, the concubine mother apologized to me, he repeatedly left me behind and chose the emperor father.He knows my ambition, knows that I will make a comeback, he will not stop me, on the contrary, he will help me, this is the only and last time he helped me.He told me that I could take the jade pendant to the border to find my second uncle He Wenwu, and beg him to send troops for me. Even if it was a rebellion, my second uncle would definitely agree.

Looking at the contents of the letter, I slowly knelt down in front of the imperial tomb. I looked up at the cold gate of the imperial tomb, and my vision had already become blurred.
