Reborn as King again

The theory of Xiaoba's rebellion became more and more intense, and the ministers in the court also had their own opinions, and it began to spread among the people. There were even rumors that the father intended to pass the throne to his beloved eighth prince, but because of The Eighth Prince was too young to give up.This kind of thing is groundless, but the more it spreads, the more it feels real.There are also some people who privately think that neither my imperial brother nor I have any good intentions. Doting Xiao Ba so much is to implement a policy of flattering and killing him, letting him concentrate on having fun and not paying attention to government affairs. Later, Xiao Ba grew up and found me Because of his intention, he left Beijing in a fit of anger.To be honest, if I were not the person involved, I would also think these rumors are true.

In the next half month, people from Liu Guogong’s group kept impeaching Xiao Ba with me. I pretended to be troubled, and couldn’t believe that Xiao Ba would betray me. If he is innocent, he should call Xiaoba back to Beijing immediately to investigate this matter clearly.But I kept pressing, how could I order Xiaoba to come to Beijing?If Xiao Ba doesn't come, it means disrespecting the edict, and the crime of rebellion is confirmed. If Xiao Ba returns to Beijing, then he will be taken to Dali Temple to await trial, so no matter whether Xiao Ba comes back or not, it is a dead end.

It's a pity that when King Rui wooed Liu Guo to announce the announcement of Xiaoba, one person was missing, and that person was my mother, Empress Dowager Xia.

On this day, in the Golden Luan Hall, all the ministers still urged me to quickly call Xiaoba back to Beijing. Almost all the officials from Liu Guogong's faction knelt down and begged in unison: "I beg the emperor to call the eighth prince back to Beijing!"

Seeing almost half of His Highness' officials kneeling, what is this?Most of the neutral faction have also started to fall for Liu Guogong. Is this considered forcing me into the palace?

"Aijia wants to take a look! Who dares to force the emperor to let Xiao Ba go back to Beijing!" A cold female voice came out, and all the officials looked back. A woman walked slowly into the gate of the Golden Luan Hall. Su Yi, followed by two little eunuchs, the two little eunuchs are holding a spiritual tablet in each hand, that woman is my mother queen!

Queen Mother, you are finally here, and I can't wait any longer.

I hurriedly went down to the hall to meet the queen mother, and stood with her in the center of the red carpet of the Golden Luan Hall.The queen mother's face was very pale, and her complexion was not good. I wanted to support her, "What are you doing, queen mother?"

But the queen mother pushed my hand away, and said with a sneer: "My son, it's so hard for you to hide from Aijia. If Aijia doesn't come again, are you really going to call Xiaoba back to Beijing and kill him?" The empress mother's words were stinging, she aimed directly at me, she didn't show me any sympathy in front of the ministers, I can see that I asked Wanfu to keep the impeachment of Xiaoba for rebellion in the harem, Therefore, the queen mother didn't know until now that this really touched the bottom line of the queen mother. Seeing the queen mother's posture of planning to make a big fuss, she wanted to tear my face apart.

Although the mother's queen is not from the Xia family, Xiaoba's biological mother Jing Zhaoyi is indeed the mother's biological sister. After my investigation, I learned that in order to consolidate the mother's position in the palace, Xia Taishi broke up Jing Zhaoyi. Yi and her lover outside the palace brought Jing Zhaoyi into the palace to be with the queen mother. The queen mother thought that Jing Zhaoyi would give up after entering the palace like her, but after Jing Zhaoyi entered the palace, even if she was surrounded by the queen mother , but still depressed, and died not long after giving birth to Xiaoba.The queen mother has always been ashamed of her own sister, so she raised Xiao Ba as a newborn, which is a little compensation for Jing Zhaoyi.For the queen mother, the emperor brother and I are the emperor first, and the son second, and Xiao Ba will only be the queen mother's son, the most beloved son, how could she just watch Xiao Ba being impeached without saying a word? !

The queen mother turned sideways, looked at me, but pointed to the spirit tablets in the arms of the two little eunuchs behind her, and said, "Emperor, look, who are they?" On one of the two spirit tablets was written "Datong Tongde The title of Emperor", and the other one says "The title of Emperor Yi of Datong". One of these two people is my father emperor, and the other is my emperor brother.

In order to keep Xiao Ba, the Queen Mother even specially sent someone to the Taimiao to take the spirit seat of my father, emperor, and brother to suppress me. It seems that she must scold me bloody in the court today.I also don't want to touch Xiaoba, but in order not to let other ministers see my selfishness, I can only pretend on the surface.

The queen mother looked at me with a guilty conscience and lowered her head, thinking that I was really planning to do Xiao Ba, her hands were shaking with anger, and she said: "My son, what did you say before your father and brother died? Remember? You promised them to take good care of Xiao Ba, why are they not here now, and you listened to the slander for your own throne and wanted to kill Xiao Ba?"

I hurriedly comforted my mother and said: "My queen, don't be angry, I haven't thought about killing Xiaoba yet, I just want to call Xiaoba back to Beijing first, and then investigate slowly."

When the queen mother heard this, she spat at me and said, "Are you a fool to be sad? As long as you make an imperial decree, Xiao Ba will die regardless of whether he returns to the capital. If you really don't want to harm Xiao Ba, why don't you send someone to go there yourself?" However, the country investigates to find evidence?"

I was speechless by my mother, so Liu Guogong explained to me: "Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince has real evidence for disturbing the government of the Ran Kingdom, and the loyal officials of the Kingdom of Ran have all signed blood letters."

The queen mother glared at Liu Guogong. When she was young, she was often at odds with the Liu family, and now she is still holding on to her little Ba. The new hatred adds to the old hatred, and she said coolly: "The blood book is called evidence? Change Minger A mourner would just find someone to cut his finger and write that you Liu Guogong corrupted the king's law and made himself king, is this also iron proof?"

Now it's Liu Guogong's turn to be choked by his mother. The woman's discussion of the problem and the man's discussion of the problem are basically two concepts, because sometimes women don't make sense at all.Liu Guogong thought for a while and then said: "The empress dowager, this blood book is just one of them. The Xia family is behind the eighth prince. The Xia family is an old official above the court, with a deep foundation. In addition, the eighth prince is still with Yuan Ma Da. General He Wenwu has a very good relationship, you have to know that General He is usually serious and doesn’t have close friends with anyone, so why did he get close to the Eighth Prince? Can these three points add up to make people doubt it? "

"Doubt? Aijia sees that this is an attempt to impose a crime, so there is nothing to worry about!" The queen mother looked at the courtiers present, as if you were bullying our orphans and widowed mothers, and said in a choked voice: "Why do you think Xiaoba will be in the middle of the night?" Leaving Beijing more than a year ago, it was because the Ai family wanted Xiao Ba to marry a distant cousin of the Xia family at that time, but Xiao Ba was not at all happy when he heard that, so he simply ran away, Xiao Ba didn't like people from the Xia family at all, How could it be possible to join forces with the Xia clan?! If you don't believe me, you can ask the emperor." After speaking, the queen mother looked at me sadly, making me look like an unfilial son, so I had no choice but to answer: "I also know about this. , Xiao Ba left the capital after escaping marriage."

The queen mother went on to say: "You also said that Xiaoba and General He are very close, but no matter how close General He is with Xiaoba, it is not as close as the relationship with Concubine Wen. Concubine Wen is General He's direct younger brother. After giving birth to the prince Li Ji, do you think General He will support Xiao Ba, an outsider, or his nephew Li Ji? What you said is not true at all!"

Liu Guogong was speechless and speechless after being refuted by his mother. At this time, Liu Guogong's younger brother Liu Hua came out and said to his mother: "Your Majesty, the Eighth Prince has been away from Beijing for so long. There are many things you don't know at all, such as The relationship between the Eighth Prince and General He is not ordinary, but..." Liu Hua seemed hesitant to speak.

The queen mother didn't like others to hang her appetite like this, and urged: "What do you mean? Don't hesitate, explain it to Aijia."

Liu Hua simply understood what he said, and said: "The official suspects that the Eighth Prince and General He are married." I seemed to have planned to call Xiaoba back to Beijing, but my mother stopped me on the spot. Liu Hua looked at the plan. He was about to be disrupted, and he even revealed the real relationship between Xiao Ba and He Wenwu.

The civil and military officials who were watching all turned pale when they heard Liu Hua's words. No matter whether it was true or not, it was a royal scandal. Unless it was a marriage, or there would be no such thing as the prince's love for others.Besides, Li Mubing, the eighth prince of the family, was born beautiful since he was a child, and he never lacked people to pursue him, while He Wenwu couldn't be said to be ugly, but he certainly didn't belong to the kind of commendatory words. Apart from the difference in identity and appearance, the two people Even the ages are far apart, how could they be together?

Back then, Xiao Ba never let go of He Wenwu. In order to get He Wenwu into bed, he specially passed letters to Fei Ge to gain experience.So I know that Liu Hua is telling the truth, but it is a pity that no one will believe this truth. I once told Xiao Ba in a letter not to let others see his relationship with He Wenwu, Xiao Ba also agreed, after all It's not a good thing for the prince to hang out with the general.Liu Hua also said just now that it was just "doubt" and could not prove anything at all.

When the queen mother heard what Liu Hua said about Xiaoba, she was even more angry, and she didn't care about etiquette, justice, and shame. She slapped Liu Hua's face directly and cursed: "Presumptuous! What do you mean by that? What is the truth of a husband and wife? ?”

Liu Guogong wanted to hold Liu Hua back and tell Liu Hua to stop talking, but Liu Hua was slapped by his mother, and he became a little angry from embarrassment. He once saw the intimate behavior between the Eighth Prince and General He inadvertently, and there was a two-year-old child beside the Eighth Prince, he suspected..."

Before Liu Hua finished speaking, the queen mother pressed her chest with her hands, and began to wear rough clothes, her body was a little shaky, and then she rolled her eyes and passed out.I hurriedly supported the queen mother, and shouted: "Hurry up and take the queen mother back to the Palace of Compassion, Imperial Physician Xuan! Hurry up!"

The empress dowager, the most honorable woman in the Datong Dynasty, was actually fainted by a mere minister of the Ministry of Rites in the Jinluan Palace. No matter how you look at it, it was the fault of Liu Shangshu and Liu Hua.The empress dowager was just eager to protect her son and wanted to excuse her son, but Liu Hua didn't mention other evidence, but said that the eighth prince Li Mubing, the empress dowager's darling, had ambiguity with a 30-year-old widower, General He It's unacceptable to put it on any mother. No, the empress dowager couldn't stand the blow and passed out.

Liu Hua didn't expect that with just a few words of his own, the old queen mother would faint from anger. Regardless of whether the queen mother was really fainted or fake, I was satisfied with the performance so far. I hugged the queen mother's body and stared fiercely. Liu Hua said: "If something happens to my mother, I will definitely kill your nine clans!" Liu Hua knelt on the ground with a pale face, not knowing how to explain.

I picked up my queen and left the Golden Luan Hall. The queen's personal maid, Lan Mei, was already waiting outside the hall. Seeing me in a hurry, she didn't panic at all. She just shook her head slightly at me, okay, I understand, my queen This is pretending, she wants to give Liu Jiaan a crime of insulting the royal family.
