Reborn as King again

In the early morning of the second day, everyone in the Golden Luan Hall was in danger. I sat on the dragon chair with a dark face and looked at the officials underground. All the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knew about the fact that the government was arrested by the Imperial Forest Army under their own jurisdiction. The early dynasty ended in a cold scene. The officials did not dare to speak, and I, the emperor, did not gnaw.

It was already [-] noon when He Wenliu woke up. He forced himself to get up from the bed with his aching waist, and called the inner eunuchs guarding outside to boil water for him to take a bath.After soaking comfortably in the bathtub for a long time, he completely eliminated all the exhaustion in his body.

After taking a bath, Xiaoluzi put the prepared meals on the table, because He Wenliu was already hungry after the morning meal, so he ate more than usual, and Xiaoluzi waited until He Wenliu was full. After I was satisfied, I said what I ordered: "Concubine Wen, when the emperor left, he told you to return to the palace today."

"Well, let's pack up and leave." He Wenliu nodded, because I told him about going back to the palace last night.

"Er...and..." Seeing He Wenliu's disapproving look, Xiaoluzi knew that He Wenliu knew nothing about what happened last night, "Concubine Wen, actually you and the emperor had a rest last night. Then..." Xiaoluzi then told He Wenliu in detail what happened last night when the Imperial Forest Army raided the He Mansion to search for people, and finally found the emperor.

He Wenliu's face turned ugly when he heard this, why is this so?Why doesn't he have any impression (Wen Liu, you were too tired last night~), and was bumped into by the Imperial Forest Army, wouldn't the whole capital know about it sooner or later?The emperor was arrested in the He Mansion, and it happened that he also went back to the He Mansion for a short stay, so he knew what happened without even thinking about it.

Little Lvzi knew what He Wenliu was worried about, and quickly comforted him: "The emperor even asked the servant to tell you that if someone asks you about this, you can just push it on the emperor."

After He Wenliu hurriedly cleaned up, he originally wanted to say goodbye to his elder brother He Wenyan, and asked him about the specific situation by the way, but who knew that He Wenyan did not return home after going to the morning court, so He Wenliu had no choice but to explain to the housekeeper , and stepped out of the gate of He Mansion.

He Wenliu originally came to He Mansion in a low-key and low-key manner with four internal eunuchs with him in a carriage, and he also planned to go back in a low-key and low-key carriage, but who knew that when the gate of He Mansion opened, He Wenliu was startled by the group of people in front of him.

As soon as the people at the gate saw He Wenliu appearing, they all saluted in unison and said, "Welcome Concubine Wen back to the palace!"

Seeing this posture, He Wenliu's body was a little shaky, thanks to the little green child beside him.The street where the He Mansion is located is almost all the famous people in the capital, whether they are officials or businessmen, whether they are rich or expensive, and the pedestrians who come and go are looking forward to this place, and they are very curious about why it is so early in the morning. A group of high-ranking eunuchs from the palace were waiting at the gate of He Mansion.

At this time, the leading father-in-law of the group of inner eunuchs stepped forward and greeted him with a smile: "Concubine Wen, little Wanji, the emperor felt that the carriage you were riding in was uncomfortable, so he specially sent servants to take Concubine Wen back to the palace."

specially?He Wenliu had a headache for a while. He wanted to go back in a low-key way, so he asked, "Did you wait for a long time? Why didn't you send someone in to urge me?"

Wan Ji seemed to have expected that He Wenliu would ask such a question, and replied with a smile: "This is what the emperor meant. The emperor said that you were tired last night, so just let the servants wait at the door."

Tired... He Wenliu's face turned red, and he hurried down the steps and said, "Then let's go."

What came to meet He Wenliu was a palace sedan chair carried by 36 people. The roof of the sedan chair was made of purple coral, covered with sea bowl-sized pearls and night pearls. There were long golden wind chimes hanging on the four corners of the sedan roof, and a gust of wind When it blows, the wind chimes sway around, making a pleasant sound. The left, right, and rear sides of the sedan chair are surrounded by hollow red cedar wood, while strings of glazed beads are hung on the front side of the sedan chair. The entire sedan chair is seven feet long and wide. , Let alone one person, four people are more than enough.

And there were 48 eunuchs and maids at the front and back of the palace sedan chair. He Wenliu didn't know what my plan was, but felt that the ostentation was too big.

Under the eyes of everyone, He Wenliu was supported by Xiaoluzi into the palace sedan chair. Sitting in the sedan chair and looking ahead through the bead curtain, He Wenliu couldn't help feeling distressed. How should he face it after returning to the palace?Originally speaking, it’s not a big deal for a concubine to go back to the mansion for a short stay, it’s not a big deal for the emperor to go out of the palace privately, it’s not a big deal for the emperor to visit the concubine’s mansion because he misses his concubine, it’s not even a big deal for the emperor to stay overnight in the concubine’s mansion , because even if someone knew it, they turned a blind eye to it, but there was a group of people led by a person who didn't have long eyes to break through this matter, then this is a big deal!He Wenliu clearly understands what role he played in this matter, he can't get out of it unscathed, he doesn't want to have trouble with himself, but he doesn't want to push the matter on me.

"Concubine Wen." A voice interrupted He Wenliu's train of thought, it was Wan Ji standing beside the sedan chair.

"what is?"

Wan Ji opened the beaded curtain, put an exquisite small heater with both hands, and said, "Although it is April, you will still be blown by the wind in the sedan chair. You prepare the stove."

After He Wenliu was told by Wan Ji, he also found that his palms were really cold now, so he quickly took the stove from Wan Ji's hand and held it in his palm, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Wanji."

He Wenliu looked down at the copper-yellow heater in his hand, oval in shape, carved with peonies blooming, waves of temperature entered He Wenliu's palm, it was extremely warm.He Wenliu raised his head again, the bearers had already carried the sedan chair back to the palace, he smiled slightly, and made a decision in his heart.

I sent a group of people to pick up He Wenliu back to the palace. They beat gongs and drums and walked on the streets of the capital in a mighty way. There were also special officers and soldiers in charge of security and order, and asked the people to make way for the sedan chair. People who like to watch the excitement The common people were all watching from the sidelines, discussing in private, who was picked up from which mansion?Why such a big show?

For a while, this became another hot topic in the capital. Whether it was a small merchant on the street or a lady living in a deep boudoir, they all rushed to find out who was in the sedan chair.

No, it didn't take long for the news to spread from the maidservant of the He Mansion that the person in the sedan chair was the current Concubine Wen of the Holy Majesty.

For a while, rumors about He Wenliu spread wildly. Originally, there were very few rumors about He Wenliu. It was incomparable with the current favorite concubine Wanfei and the new empress Zhou. Although they were both favorite concubines, He Wenliu was too low-key.The common people are very interested in this Concubine Wen who was originally very low-key but suddenly became high-profile. What happened to Concubine Wen?

Soon, all kinds of rumors about He Wenliu spread from the mouths of the wretched wives of the He Mansion. Some said that as a concubine, He Wenliu was abused by her own sister-in-law after returning to the mansion. This made me, the emperor, very angry when he found out , so He Wenliu was promoted with great fanfare in the capital, so that those who are blind can see clearly that some people cannot be offended.What's returned is that the imperial army broke into He's house at night, and they didn't mean that the Eighth Prince was here, but they found out the emperor who had a private meeting with Concubine Wen. The emperor took Concubine Wen back to the palace in such a high-profile way. he.All in all, these rumors all revealed a message that Concubine Wen won the emperor's heart.

I did this as a statement, no matter what happens, I will stand by He Wenliu's side.

At this time, how could Liu Ren care about the rumors in the capital? He had already scolded his younger brother and nephew thousands of times in his heart. Before they received the news that the Eighth Prince appeared in Hefu, Liu Ren told him Liu Hua don't act rashly, first greet the emperor and then use the imperial forest army, so as not to cause any trouble, but it's a pity that Liu Hua is very happy, since everyone has already confirmed where he is, he wants to arrest him quickly to prevent further troubles There was a change, so I asked my son Liu Deng to lead his confidantes in the Yulin Army to He Mansion to arrest people. As long as people are caught, the emperor will not be held accountable for secretly using the Yulin Army, but it’s fine if the Eighth Prince didn’t catch , but caught the emperor's head.

Liu Ren knew that this matter would kill the Liu family, so he had to find a way to solve it.Sure enough, there is no unparalleled road, after the morning court, Liu Ren got a shocking news, the Eighth Prince Li Mubing really returned to Beijing, and now he is in the Compassionate Ning Palace!Liu Ren, who got the news, had a plan. He could ask the Queen Mother to help. The Eighth Prince had already returned. As long as the Liu family continued to hold on to the matter of the Eighth Prince, the Eighth Prince who was already in the capital would definitely go back to Dali Temple for investigation. The old man has always been fond of the Eighth Prince and cannot bear it, so it is better for the Liu family to make a deal with the Queen Mother. If the Queen Mother can help the Liu family to tide over the difficulties, then the Liu family will no longer target the Eighth Prince, and the Queen Mother will definitely agree to help their Liu family .

Thinking of a way, Liu Ren hurried to his younger brother Liu Hua's residence to discuss countermeasures with him. Liu Hua is already an old man who is almost 70 years old. Looking sluggish, when Liu Hua saw that it was his elder brother, he burst into tears: "Brother, I... what should I do?"

Liu Ren sneered and said, "What should I do? You didn't listen to my advice before and insisted on mobilizing the Imperial Forest Army privately. Isn't something serious happening now?"

"I can't send a white-haired person to a black-haired person." Liu Hua said: "Deng'er was imprisoned in the Ministry of Criminal Justice yesterday. Brother, we are grasshoppers on the same line. You also have a part in impeaching the Eighth Prince. Help me think about it." Find a way."

Liu Ren said: "There is no solution. If you go to the Empress Dowager for help, this matter can be resolved satisfactorily."

"Empress Dowager?" Liu Hua wondered if his elder brother was out of his mind. The Empress Dowager was bullied so badly by their Empress Liu, and when the crown prince was established, the Liu family was always against the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager didn't hate them. help!

Liu Ren explained: "I have received the news. In fact, the Eighth Prince really returned to Beijing yesterday, but it seems that he did not go to the He Mansion but directly entered the palace. You just need to hold the Eighth Prince to negotiate with the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother will definitely agree. of."

"This... can this work? The Empress Dowager is really willing to help us?"

"Why not?" As soon as Liu Ren thought of the Queen Mother's troubles with the Emperor every day because of the Eighth Prince's rebellion, he knew that the Queen Mother would definitely do her best to keep the Eighth Prince's life. Well, you forgot, the official you sent to negotiate with the empress dowager before, was beheaded by the empress dowager playing a little trick."

"Then how can the Queen Mother help us?"

"Just go and tell the Queen Mother that we will not hold on to the Eighth Prince again, but I hope that the Queen Mother will punish Concubine Wen for the reason that the concubine in the harem seduced the monarch." Liu Ren told Liu Hua about his method: "Actually, this The matter is very simple. It was Deng'er who led the imperial army to disturb Sheng Jia in the He Mansion, and discovered the scandal that the emperor did not return to the palace at night, which made the emperor furious and sent Deng'er to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Now we only need to find a scapegoat, and that The scapegoat is Concubine Wen. When we went to visit Deng'er in the Ministry of Criminal Justice earlier, Deng'er said that the emperor was lying on Concubine Wen's bed at that time, so we should put all the blame on Concubine Wen. If it wasn't for Concubine Wen in He Mansion, would the Emperor stay in He Mansion? After all, he was the one who seduced the Emperor. Concubine Wen is a concubine in the harem. To punish him, he can only ask the Queen Mother who holds the phoenix seal in her hand. Your Majesty. This slap can’t be slapped. The Emperor is not a fool. Of course we are wrong, but Concubine Wen cannot escape the responsibility. As long as the Empress Dowager puts the responsibility for this matter on Concubine Wen, the Emperor is a filial son. No matter how much he dotes on Concubine Wen, he will not betray his mother's face, when the emperor will be angry, Deng'er's life will be saved?"

Liu Hua felt very reasonable after listening to the analysis of his elder brother Liu Ren, so he immediately bid farewell to his elder brother and went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to ask Liu Deng to talk about how he saw Concubine Wen, not letting go of a single detail.
