On the first day of August, a call to crusade against King Rui suddenly appeared on bulletin boards all over the capital.

The proclamation listed more than [-] charges of King Rui's crimes of buying and selling official positions, forming a party for personal gain, and amassing money in detail over the years. However, the most important and shocking ones are the last two—assassinating the prince and conspiring to usurp the throne.

The big bright red characters were written like a blood book. For a while, the city was in an uproar, and the common people were discussing the authenticity of the content stated in the call to arms.

There are dark waves among the people, and there is no peace above the court.

In the early morning of that day, Wei Qing, the imperial censor who was always outspoken and outspoken, actually took a call to question King Rui.

King Rui immediately denied it, and the censor refused to let him go. He insisted on seeing the emperor and asking for today's affairs.King Rui was having a headache about the appeal, and naturally it was impossible to let him succeed, so he sent someone to drag him down impatiently, and deal with it after thinking about it.

Unexpectedly, the censor, who was in his sixties and seemingly weak, broke free from the shackles of the two guards, shouted "Nanliang is hopeless", and rushed towards the dragon pillar beside him.

This collision did not leave any strength, and Wei Yushi died on the spot.

Watching the blood left on Wei Qing's forehead slowly infect the call to action, King Rui realized at this time that he had been tricked.

He immediately sent people to blockade the capital, and ordered no one to leave the capital without his order, but it was too late.

The planners behind the scenes had already made preparations. The disturbance in the capital was just the beginning. More proclamations had been sent to the state capitals long before that. In less than three days, Nanliang knew that King Rui had assassinated the prince, Conspiracy to usurp the throne, wanting to coerce the emperor to order the princes.

King Rui can stop the mouths of the people in the capital, but he can't stop the mouths of the people all over the world.

The story of Wei Yushi's blood splashing on the Panlongzhu spread to the people, which immediately aroused public indignation, and the crusade intensified.

However, this is just the beginning, and what scares King Rui even more is yet to come—on the fifth day of the eighth month, King Yu responded to the call and went north to King Qin.

King Yu rebelled.

The incident happened suddenly, King Rui's faction did not expect King Yu's sudden action, and was unable to deal with it for a while, and was taken down six cities one after another.

Huainan East Road is adjacent to Tokyo West Road. Chuzhou is only [-] miles away from the capital. After King Yu captured Haizhou, he broke through the two big cities of Xuzhou and Yingtian.

By this time, King Rui knew how stupid he was. All these years, he had always thought that King Yu was just a sick cat whose teeth had been pulled out, and he had never paid attention to him. The lazy tiger had sharpened its fangs long ago, and rushed out of the cage when the time came.

There was a bird in ancient times, although it could not fly, it would soar to the sky; even though it did not sing, its song would be astonishing.

King Yu hibernated and endured for more than ten years, and once he came out of the cage, he became a blockbuster, resounding through the sky, how can he stop it.

On August 23, the outer defense of Gyeonggi was broken, and the king of Yu came to the city.

The morning light was faint, and the first ray of sunlight arrived as expected. Sitting in the golden palace, King Rui, who hadn't closed his eyes all night, turned his head to look at the pale sky, and asked hoarsely, "Shuheng, what time is it?"

"Return to Your Highness, it's almost time." Ning Shuheng, who also stayed up all night, described it as very haggard.

"Chenshi... the morning time has passed." King Rui turned his head to look at Ning Shuheng, and asked suspiciously, "Why didn't all the civil and military officials come today?"

Ning Shuheng's eyes were dry, and he knelt down: "Your Highness..."

"Shu Heng, you are really right. People in the royal family will never be content with the status quo." He thought that he was the real dragon emperor destined by fate, but unexpectedly, he was just a stepping stone on the road to the throne for others, how ridiculous, How sad, "If I had known this, I should have listened to you and settled the Huainan matter early, instead of seeking skins with tigers... Now that I am reaping the fruit, I asked for it."

It's just too late to say these things at this time.

Kneeling up to King Rui, Ning Shuheng persuaded with tears: "Your Highness, before the city is broken, run away..."

"Escape, where can I escape to?" King Rui sneered, "Uncle Huang has surrounded the entire capital city, it's hard for me to fly even with wings..."

In fact, King Rui knew very well that the only ones who really belonged to him were the transshipment envoys on Jingxi Road and Jingbei Road.Nanliang ruled the military with literature, and although these two transfer envoys both had military power, the total number of them was only 5.

If they were evenly matched, there was still a ray of hope, but now that King Yu is attacking all the way, no one can stop him, and his soldiers would have been scared of being beaten.Xie Yu (Elder Prince holding the sword) who is currently guarding the city wall may not be able to last long, and the city will be destroyed sooner or later.

Today's morning sun may be the last ray he will see in this life.

As if it was a matter of life and death, King Rui said exhaustedly: "Forget about Shuheng, you can go, let me stay alone for a while..."

"Your Highness..." Ning Shuheng thought that he had read poetry and books and was full of knowledge, but at this time he was so poor that he couldn't find a word of comfort.

What can he say to tell His Highness not to give up, to regroup and wait for the opportunity to make a comeback?

They have no chance...

He kowtowed to King Rui, "Your Highness, take care." Ning Shuheng called out the king he identified for the last time, pushed the door open and walked out.

He didn't run away, but rushed to his last battlefield. The winner is king and the loser is Kou. Even if he loses, he will die dignifiedly.

After Ning Shuheng left, King Rui was the only one left in the huge Golden Palace.

He leaned on the dragon chair, looked up at the gnawing dragon on the top of the hall, and laughed softly: "Let's go...there is only one king left in this world...one..."

At this time, a voice suddenly came from the darkness.

"His Royal Highness King Rui just gave up?" His voice was clear and bright, and his words were not angry but powerful.

King Rui suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief, looked at the person who came out of the darkness, and said in shock: "You, you... why are you here!? Come on, come on! Take this person quickly! Down……"

King Rui shouted loudly, but when the voice sounded in the empty hall, there was no response.

"Why is this palace here?" Gao Yu stepped up the steps in front of the dragon chair step by step, and said with a sneer, "Where should this palace be, King Rui thinks? Is it dead in the Huaihe River? Disappointed, this palace is very fateful."

"You..." King Rui's voice trembled. He still couldn't see that Gao Yu had actually returned to the capital a long time ago. He was just waiting for the opportunity. king.

"King Rui." Gao Yu stood not far from the dragon chair, condescendingly looking down at the slumped King Rui, and said coldly, "You lost."

Just when King Rui and King Yu were deadlocked and had no time to pay attention to the situation in the city, Gao Yu, who had been hiding in the capital and waiting for the opportunity, also took action.

He first sent people to contact the Song family, and then borrowed the Song family's help to rescue the deputy commander of the Yulin Army under house arrest and other officials who had been dismissed by King Rui and placed under house arrest.

And in those few days, King Rui was devastated by the war, and he didn't realize that most of the leaders in the palace had been replaced by them.Most of those who did not change had also surrendered. Gao Yu promised to let the past go, and these people naturally bowed their heads and surrendered.

Now that the entire imperial city is under his control, King Rui has long been like a turtle in a urn, unable to escape.

"This king lost, but you can't win either..." King Rui sneered, "So what if you control the palace and the capital, have you beaten King Yu?"

King Rui stood up and looked back full of sarcasm: "The crown prince probably knows better than anyone else that most of the seventeenth roads in Nanliang are from aristocratic families who only care about their own immediate interests. Nothing to do, nothing more than wanting to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and then bow our heads and surrender after we decide the winner. In fact, it doesn't make any difference to them who is the emperor."

"It's better for our two brothers to cooperate..." He stopped before he finished speaking, shaking his head as if mocking himself, "No, no, cooperation is useless. Now that the Northern Qi Dynasty is invading the south and occupying the border, King Jing has no You have no time to take care of the affairs of Beijing and China. Apart from the 5000 troops in the Gyeonggi camp, you can only mobilize the Song family's army in southern Fujian. But southern Fujian is more than a thousand miles away from central Beijing, and it will not be able to quench their thirst. By the time they arrive, the situation will already be over. It's settled. King Yu has been planning for more than ten years, no matter whether it is military strength or combat readiness, it should not be underestimated.

While speaking, King Rui kept shaking his head, his eyes were full of despair, as if he had predicted his end and had given up resistance.

But Gao Yu, who was standing opposite him, was not affected by his depression at all, and he still looked solemn, unmoved, and said: "I don't need King Rui to worry about my palace's victory over King Yu. King Rui is still more worried about his situation now. Well done."

Looking dejectedly at Gao Yu, King Rui knew where he was losing at this moment—he was too anxious, the crown prince was clearly safe and sound, but he was able to hide; King Yu was ambitious, but he could stay dormant for more than ten years, and he... Can't even wait a few days.

Maybe he should stand on the city wall to live and die with the soldiers, maybe he should rush out of the city to fight to the death, but maybe he shouldn't fight for the throne at all...

"Heh..." With a self-deprecating chuckle, King Rui sat limply on the steps under the dragon chair, pointed to the golden throne with desolate eyes and asked, "Second brother, you said we are fighting for this seat?" What? It's cold, hard and painful... It's not as good as the high bed and soft pillow in my Prince Rui's Mansion..."

His eyes became more and more erratic, looking at the person he had been fighting with for almost his whole life, Gao Ling suddenly felt a little dazed, he couldn't remember why he hated Gao Yu so much, he only knew that they never dealt with them since childhood.He wants to grab everything from Gao Yu, fights for everything, does not exceed one end of everything, and feels uncomfortable...

He wished Gao Yu could die without a whole body, but in all honesty, if Gao Yu really died in Huainan, at the hands of King Yu, would he be happy?

His expression suddenly changed, Gao Ling didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly said: "I was deceived by King Yu, and you, Second Emperor Brother, are not much better... Anyway, let me treat it as my brother's last reminder, be careful of those around you. People... take it, this is the soldier talisman of the city defenders, with this thing, you can mobilize eight thousand defenders from four sects."

When King Rui said this, he suddenly paused and said: "Second brother, can you agree to do something for your brother? If you really win, can you keep Concubine Xian alive? Although the concubine mother has a bad temper, she doesn't what a bad thing you did..."

His mother and concubine have been spoiled since she was a child, and she has a very arrogant temper. The dispute with Concubine Shu is just an ordinary competition for favor and power. Those methods are really not worth mentioning in the court.

Gao Ling has already conceded defeat, and just wants to fight for something in the end.

Gao Ling thought that the temptation of the soldier talisman would definitely make Gao Yu let go, but Gao Yu was just startled, didn't reach out his hand, didn't even look at it, then turned and walked towards the door.

The candle that had been burning all night exhausted the last trace of life and finally went out. The morning light shining through the window lattice and the high door into the hall could not dissipate the darkness that filled the room. With dry eyes, he looked in the direction where Gao Yu was leaving. Gao Ling suddenly shouted loudly. laugh it out.

The appalling laughter echoed continuously in the empty hall, making it particularly treacherous.

Lost, he lost completely...
