King's Landing [Rebirth]

Before the army approached the city gate, several fast horses galloped out one after another, galloping in different directions, hoping to spread the news of the trapped capital to King Jing and Xie Zhuo in the shortest possible time.

The people in Beijing didn't know what happened, but the courtiers had already got the news, and they were all shocked: The former prince?King Yongkang?They actually united?And came here when the capital was empty?It's unbelievable!

The emperor almost couldn't get up, so he forced himself to lead Wang Shuzhi and other important court officials to the tower, pointed at the dark army not far away with trembling fingers, clicked, and clicked again, and finally choked out a sentence: Stick to it!"

"Yes!" Wang Shuzhi should be very calm, but the guards around him looked flustered. Even if they managed to maintain their composure on the face, they were still in a panic.

The days of peace have passed for a long time, and there are large troops guarding the frontier in battle, and it is not their turn to contribute. Jiankang City has been prosperous and lively for so many years, and they are used to it. How have they ever encountered such a battle?

The gates of the city had been closed quickly, and the people in the city fell into an unprecedented panic, and every family closed their doors and closed their doors and dared not go out.

Wang Shuzhi took aim at the rebels outside, and quickly issued orders one after another. While preparing for the battle, he also compared the strength of the two sides in his heart.

Obviously, although the strength of the rebel army outside is not very large, it has an absolute advantage compared with the imperial army. In addition, the opponent came prepared, but the own side responded hastily. If you want to repel the rebel army, you will have to wait until the sky falls .

The only thing that can be done right now is to rely on the city wall to wait until the reinforcements arrive, but food and grass in the city is another big problem.

Hearing Wang Shuzhi's statement of seriousness, the emperor spat out a mouthful of blood, startling the ministers, and was soon carried back to the palace. Fortunately, he didn't fall into a coma this time, but it was enough for the imperial doctors to keep busy.

The army quickly launched an attack, its momentum was like a rainbow, and it was extremely tough. A group of civil servants had already been frightened. Wang Shuzhi suspected that they were in the way, and wanted to send people with a wave of his hand. Those ministers who were fighting against each other did not need to say anything I took a quick walk, and the remaining generals of the imperial army finally felt a lot more comfortable.

Wang Shuzhi stared at the rebels who were advancing and retreating below, and sighed silently: It seems that King Yongkang has been plotting for a long time.

There was a lot of fighting on the city wall, which was soon soaked in blood, and the capital fell into a stalemate of difficulty and difficulty.

The emperor gave Wang Shuzhi all the power to dispatch the imperial army, and he was unwilling in his heart, but the court couldn't find a suitable person to contend with him for the time being, so it had to be like this, so he continued to hold on after returning, paying attention to the situation outside.

"The emperor is probably sick and confused. Since he is so jealous of the Wang family, why don't you hand over all the forbidden troops to His Highness? With His Highness's plan, how can it be worse than Wang Chengxiang!" A shriveled old man stared at King Yi Sima Kuo's unpredictable face , carefully slapped a flattery.

Sima Kuo raised his eyes and saw that several staff members were full of resentment and resentment, and smiled softly: "Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient, I am afraid that the father always thought that the king and the prime minister were of the same heart, and handed it over to him. What is the difference in this king's hands? At least their Langya Wang family has more experience than this king in leading the army."

Seeing his indifferent expression, the staff praised him for his generosity.

"Your Highness, the gate of the city is closed now, there is no news, and I don't know what's going on with the Crown Prince..." Since His Highness is so confident, it must be that the Prince's place is going well?

"Prince..." King Yi frowned. In fact, he was not at ease at the moment. Even if Sima Rong died, there would still be an abandoned prince who lingered outside. In the hands of the prince.

Really pick the time!King Yi gritted his teeth with hatred for Sima Chang.

Inside the palace, the emperor struggled to sit up, summoned the general in the palace and asked, "What's going on outside?"

The general in the hall was sweating secretly: "Return to Your Majesty, there is not enough food and grass in the city, and the soldiers are almost unable to survive."

The emperor was taken aback: "Didn't the prime minister lead the ministers to donate their own food?"

"It's far from enough..." The general in the palace looked embarrassed, "The prime minister has ordered to borrow food from the people."

"Borrow?!" The emperor opened his mouth, pondered for a moment, and didn't say anything, but his face was even more ugly.

"Your Majesty! Something is wrong!" The palace servant outside rushed in in a panic.

Eunuch Tong hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Presumptuous! Why are you in such a hurry?!"

The visitor plopped and knelt on the ground: "The city... the city gate is broken! Your Majesty, hurry... quickly..."

"What?!" The emperor stood up suddenly in shock, and suddenly lost his mind.

The news spread quickly, and the palace was in chaos, the concubines turned pale, and hurriedly began to pack up the gold and silver, but they didn't know where to flee while holding the package.

The maids in the palace could not care about the master any more, and went on a rampage, causing chaos in the halls everywhere.

There were screams in the palace, and the palace of Prince Yi was also clouded.

Chaos outside the palace, lack of food, no matter how calm Wang Shuzhi was, it was useless for the soldiers defending the city to support them, and eventually the rebels attacked.

The imperial army fought and retreated, and the rebels outside poured into the capital like a tidal wave. Fortunately, Wang Shuzhi had already ordered the people to hide in their homes. The crown prince and Yongkang king had enough food and grass, and they were determined to grab the dragon position, so they would not waste their energy to disturb the people.

The two sides fought all the way to the outside of the palace wall, shouting so loudly that it directly covered the crying inside the palace.

The emperor's face was pale, and he rushed out of the palace door with bare feet, only to see the fire outside, his feet softened all of a sudden, and he fell to the ground, muttering: "Is the sky going to kill me? The sky is going to kill me?"

The sound of shouting and killing outside suddenly increased, and the emperor jumped in shock. He raised his head and looked over blankly.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Eunuch Tong ran over with a happy face, but was stunned when he saw the empty hall, and hurriedly looked around, shouting, "King Jing has led his troops to rescue you! Lead troops and horses to rescue him!"

When the news spread again, the chaos in the palace became stagnant, and everyone was overjoyed immediately.

In Prince Yi's mansion, King Yi stood up suddenly, his face distorted: "King Jing is here?"

"Yes!" The confidant nodded. Looking at King Yi's face, one could guess how much he was thinking. On the one hand, he must be overjoyed that the capital was saved, and on the other hand, he was wary because it was King Jing who came.

The staff in the house couldn't sit still: "King Jing's status is low, no matter how great he is, the prince will benefit most in the end. Now that the city gate has been broken, His Highness should send people out to inquire about the news as soon as possible, as long as the prince..." As he spoke, he made a hand gesture on his neck and lowered his voice, "King Jing is nothing to worry about."

King Yi nodded, and was about to give an order when he saw a person rushing in and whispering something in his ear.

King Yi's face became serious: "Let him in quickly!"

Soon, a person ran in. This person was travel-stained, and when he came in, he lost his strength and knelt on the ground: "Your Highness, the prince is missing, and his life or death is unknown."

All the staff below got up and took a closer look, only to recognize that this person was one of the confidantes sent out by King Yi. He must have been hiding outside the city, and walked in while the city gate was broken.

King Yi frowned: "I don't know if I'm alive or dead?"

The man lowered his head in shame: "This subordinate is incompetent..."

"That's all." Yi Wang waved his hand, sat up straight, and said sharply, "Send more people out to look for it! If you want to see people, you want to see dead bodies!"

Seeing the man leading the order to go out, the staff members immediately gathered around: "In case the prince is not dead..."

King Yi raised his eyes and smiled at them, with a trace of determination in his eyes: "This king still has a hand." He turned to the closest confidant around him.

The confidant hurried forward.

King Yi picked up the teacup and said slowly: "Go and send a message to the three commanders. Once the crown prince and King Yongkang are executed, we fishermen should catch the net."

The staff next to him were surprised and delighted, and then their expressions became subtle: The three commanders?Three commanders of the forbidden army were recruited by King Yi?But as staff members, they didn't even know about it...

King Jing's soldiers and horses came very timely, and soon formed a pincer attack with the imperial army.

The rebels rushed in with all their might, but suddenly fell into a dilemma and lost their momentum.

After a fierce battle overnight, when the sky was dim, the deposed prince Sima Chang and Yongkang were besieged. Knowing that the situation was over, they committed suicide one after another.

Although Wang Shuzhi was extremely tired, he still held on to his red eyes, turned his head and asked, "Where is the emperor?"

Someone was looking for it immediately.

The person who was looking for the emperor hadn't come back yet, but Pei Liang rushed to him with a serious expression and whispered: "Prime Minister, His Highness the Crown Prince was assassinated and his whereabouts are unknown."

"..." Wang Shuzhi froze, all the blood on his face faded away, and he turned to stare at him, as if he didn't understand what he said.

Pei Liang gritted his teeth: "His Royal Highness meets... the prime minister!"

Wang Shuzhi tilted his body, leaned against him, and passed out.
