King's Landing [Rebirth]

In the dead of night, Empress Yu was awakened by the sound of hurried footsteps. She couldn't sleep well for several nights. Now that she was disturbed by her servants, she didn't care to get angry. The maid who was waiting on her body nodded: "Let him in."

The sound of hurried footsteps came from far to near, although they tried their best to calm down, they still knocked on the eardrums in the silent night. Empress Yu's face turned pale, and her hands hidden in the wide sleeves couldn't help trembling.

One of the servants prostrated on the ground and panicked, "Report to the Queen, something is wrong. The secret soldiers sent by No. 3 to deliver the letter were also ambushed, and the secret letter is missing."

Empress Yu fell down on the couch, supported the bronze animal head with one hand, pinched her fingers until they turned white, and gritted her teeth: "Third time! Well, you Wang Shuzhi, cover the sky with one hand! Bully my Yu family without anyone!"

The servant heard that she was angry, and buried his head even lower, not daring to vent his breath.

Empress Yu got up with a cold snort, walked around the hall with heavy steps, frowned and thought deeply: every time they were intercepted, and they were all not far from the city gate, the timing was so accurate, it seemed that every move here was in their hands .

Empress Yu felt cold all over her body. She raised her head and looked around. The young people around her had been cleaned up long ago. Unexpectedly, something went wrong, but since her brother's accident, she dared not make any big moves easily. Now it seems that this harem is not Few people are ready to move, and she gradually loses control.

"Hmph! I want to see how you, Mrs. Wang, can cover the sky with one hand!" Empress Yu stood up with a flick of her sleeves, wrote another letter, handed it to the servant, and said in a cold voice, "This time we don't need our own people, let's hand it to Lord Li .”

"The queen is wise." The servant patted his ass in time, bowed and left.

Empress Yu couldn't be happy at all, she almost didn't sleep all night, until the next day, she was surprised to hear the bad news again: the person sent by Mrs. Li to deliver the letter was assassinated again!

"Bang!" The situation was like a cage, Empress Yu's face was full of anger, and the teacup in her hand shattered.

At this moment, another person rushed in in a panic, knelt on the ground with a plop, and said in a trembling voice: "Big... big things are not good!"

"What's the matter?!" Empress Yu was startled, her face sank into the water.

The visitor was sweating profusely: "Shangshu of the household department, Mr. Qi, was impeached!"

"What?!" Empress Yu couldn't maintain her composure anymore, her face showed panic, "What's going on?"

After Yu Mao was stripped of his military power, the Yu clan's status in the army plummeted, and after the court was purged, the people close to him were even more scattered. Master Qi is the backbone of the rest of the army, but he suddenly suffered such a calamity. The stakes are not trivial .

The visitor didn't care about the cold sweat on his head, and he stumbled and said: "The servant of the household department, Xia Zhizhang, wrote a letter overnight to impeach Mr. Qi... to fill his own pockets, and to embezzle money from the treasury. At this moment, Wang... Prime Minister Wang has rushed to Shangshutai..."

"Quick! Tell the other adults!" Empress Yu said as she rushed to the case, quickly wrote several letters with a pen, handed them to him in a hurry, and gritted her teeth, "Tell them to stop Wang Shuzhi no matter what! Said that everything should be decided after the emperor wakes up!"

"Yes."

Empress Yu looked at the figure of the man leaving in a hurry, her face was full of worry, she only hated herself as a womanizer, it was not good to intervene directly, any mistake in this matter might become a reminder for Wang to catch her Make a big fuss in your hands.

With a smile on his face, Wang Shuzhi looked at the colleagues blocking the way in front of him, and said indifferently: "Wait until the emperor wakes up to make a decision?"

Everyone broke out in cold sweat, and said bravely, "Yes."

"Eh?" Wang Shuzhi looked surprised, "What do you mean, the Prime Minister is in charge of all affairs of the Shangshutai, but he has no right to investigate this matter? Is the position of the Prime Minister an empty shell?"

"This..." Everyone broke out in cold sweat, "I don't mean that, but the emperor hasn't woken up yet, and the prime minister is probably tired from working hard all day long, so why not..."

"Oh! My lords' kindness really appreciates it!" Wang Shuzhi smiled like a spring breeze, "After all, the truth is young, and it is right to work harder. Besides, the emperor has not yet awakened, if everything is decided after the emperor wakes up, then how can it be?" Isn’t it the big and small affairs piled up like a mountain? The truth can’t be negligent!”

The ministers on the opposite side couldn't help being anxious when they saw that he didn't eat oil and salt, but they knew him very well. Even if he really tore his face and yelled, he could still accept the move with a smile. They had experienced the feeling of punching cotton countless times. At this time, there is not much to rely on, so I have to lower my posture.

"The prime minister's words are reasonable, but this matter is not trivial, and should be handled with caution."

"Well." Wang Shuzhi nodded solemnly, "It is indeed necessary to be cautious. Now that the court is about to make ends meet, there are still people who are corrupt and pervert the law at such a critical juncture. Such a major matter should be resolved as soon as possible. If the emperor wakes up, I don't know how much delay it will cause. I'm afraid it's not something you and I can afford."

The ministers in front of him were speechless.

Wang Shuzhi laughed again, and looked at them kindly: "By the way, the evidence for this matter has been conclusively established. If the truth is not dealt with, can we still cover him?"

Everyone changed their colors in unison. They thought it was an ordinary impeachment, but they didn't expect it to be a certainty. The cold sweat broke out even more, and everyone seemed to be fished out of the water. At this moment, they couldn't care about Mr. Qi. Zhong Luanhong only thought about whether he would be implicated, and wished to fly back to the mansion immediately.

Wang Shuzhi curled his lips slightly, and left without talking to them.

Xia Zhizhang was arranged to enter the household department. He has been searching for criminal evidence from the very beginning. So far, he has sorted out the context clearly. Xia Zhizhang, who was invisible or even unknown, was shocked to realize that he was actually a member of the Wang family.

In just a few days, Wang Shuzhi quickly concluded the case with thunderous means. Not only Master Qi suffered, but all courtiers related to the Yu family were implicated, and the rest of the Yu family were uprooted for various reasons.

Empress Yu fell to the ground, her face ashen, disregarding her majesty, she just felt a piercing chill spread from the soles of her feet to her whole body.

Most of the people who were dealt with were hidden very deeply, and many of them even sang against their Yu family in the open. Unexpectedly, such a secret relationship could be dug out by Wang Shuzhi, and he took advantage of the emperor's coma. It makes people powerless, how not to make people frightened?

Both wings of the civil and martial arts of the Yu family were cut off by Qi Gen, and Empress Yu and the prince became crabs without feet and fell to death immediately.

Empress Yu's eyes were empty and tears were streaming down her face. After an unknown amount of time, she vaguely heard someone whispering in her ear. When she regained her senses, she found a servant kneeling beside her, powerlessly saying, "What's the matter?"

The man said happily: "Report to the queen, the emperor is awake."

Empress Yu's spirit was shaken, and she immediately struggled out of her depression, as if she had caught the last straw, she wiped away her tears and hurriedly got up: "Quick! Serve me to change clothes!"

The emperor didn't show much joy when he saw her passing by. When he woke up, there was no one close to him, except Wang Shuzhi standing not far away, which made his mouth bitter.

Fortunately, as soon as the news spread, all the sons in the palace rushed over, and even the queen mother was supported by others. Hearing that the queen mother had to stay here for several hours every day, the early grievances suddenly became less important.

Although Empress Yu also came here to watch for several hours a day, compared with the old Empress Dowager Xie who was not her biological mother, she immediately fell behind. Coupled with the fact that she had not seen the prince for a long time, the emperor's face became very unhappy. Looks good, when he saw Empress Yu, he just said indifferently: "The prince has been away for so long, he should be back, and he doesn't need to do disaster relief himself. Could it be that my father, the emperor, is sick, and he doesn't care about it?"

Empress Yu was dumb and couldn't explain the pain of eating Huanglian, so she forced a smile and said: "Chang'er didn't know about it before, and he just got the news. He is about to come back, and I will send him a letter later."

The emperor frowned and said to the chief servant on the side: "Issue an edict to the prince, and order him to return to Beijing."

Empress Yu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, she knew the emperor well, and knew that he was just dissatisfied, as long as the bottom line was not touched, the prince would be fine, not to mention that it was the emperor's edict this time, forgive them for their audacity and dare not follow it hinder.

Wang Shuzhi glanced at Empress Yu, and a faint smile flickered in his eyes.

The emperor ignored Empress Yu and turned his eyes to the Empress Dowager. Seeing her haggard look, he couldn't distinguish the feeling in his heart, and said in a shy voice, "I made the Empress Dowager worry."

The queen mother looked happy and nodded repeatedly: "Just wake up! Just wake up!" She took out a letter from her sleeve and said with a smile, "Rong'er was very anxious when she learned that the emperor was ill. I wanted to rush back, but it was a pity that I hadn’t been alive for a long time, and suddenly vomited blood in a sudden rush, so I couldn’t come back in time, so I had to write a letter first and ask someone to send it.”

Empress Yu froze suddenly.

Wang Shuzhi's expression moved slightly, and he looked at the queen mother silently, his eyes turned and fell on the letter, but unfortunately he was a little far away, so he couldn't see what was written in it.

The emperor looked slightly stunned. Although he had recently begun to win over Xie's family, it was only an expedient measure. He had never put this son in his heart. At this moment, he reached out to receive the letter. He was indescribably surprised, and then felt quite relieved : "This kid really has a heart."

The Queen Mother smiled slightly.

The emperor opened the letter and read it, and his expression showed a bit of joy: "Rong'er's leg has been cured?"

"That's right! I didn't expect that people outside Fang's medical skills are so good, thanks to King Jing's heart." The queen mother praised her mouth, but she was as surprised as the emperor in her heart. She didn't expect her grandson to recover so quickly and vomit blood This was pure nonsense, she knew she was waiting for an opportunity, but there was always a strange feeling in her heart, as if everything was one step faster than she expected.

Is the miracle doctor really so good?It seems that I have to ask Xie Zhuo some other day.

The emperor didn't know the details, so naturally he didn't think too much about it. He just looked at the letter and was full of praise: "Rong'er has a good handwriting! With just a few words, it can be seen that he has learned a lot from others. It's not bad! What's more rare is that in the Adversity is not decadent, the mind is tough, it is a great responsibility!"

Empress Yu looked at the emperor's face full of joy, and then at Empress Dowager Xie, and a chill rose in her heart, a sense of trembling spontaneously arose.

Wang Shuzhi looked calm, he had already sent someone to investigate, the second prince was indeed able to walk, but his body was still weak, but the appearance and life story of the second prince were extremely difficult to find out, and they were extremely mysterious.

It is precisely because of this mystery that people dare not underestimate it.

Wang Shuzhi frowned and thought deeply: The second prince's plan is not small, and his ability is not small. If Yan Qing is really planning for him, he may really be unable to refuse.
