King's Landing [Rebirth]

The news came out of the palace at dawn, and by the time it spread to all the civil and military mansions of the Manchu Dynasty, it was already broad daylight.

As soon as the emperor passed away, the "Prince" who lived in Prince Rui's mansion was robbed, and whoever did this matter could be guessed without careful thought.

After all, Yuan Sheng was implicated by Sima Rong, and Wang Shuzhi couldn't ignore it, so he sent someone to notify Lu Zixiu, and at the same time sent someone to investigate.

Sima Rong asked suspiciously, "What exactly does King Yi want to do? He covets the throne, and the safest way should be to take Yuan Sheng's life directly. Why did he take him away instead?"

Wang Shuzhi rubbed his forehead and said with a light smile: "King Yi was quite tolerant in the early years, but recently he has become more reckless and arrogant. It's just that he feels that his strategy is sure. If I'm right, he did this to stimulate you. He is probably very satisfied to let the crown prince witness his success with his own eyes; secondly, it is naturally to restrain Sir Xie."

The corner of Sima Rong's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Soon, the palace was full of mourning, and the ministers were crying more sadly than their dead parents. Although King Yi couldn't help acting, what flashed in his eyes was the light of joy that he was determined to win.

The emperor's grand trip, the next most important thing besides the funeral is the new emperor's ascension to the throne. The ministers were crying happily, but they found that the prince was still missing, and they were completely dumbfounded.

If the emperor said no, then he would be gone, so he wouldn't even leave an imperial decree, right?But it doesn't matter if there is no imperial decree, isn't there still a prince!But at such a critical time, what about the prince?

The ministers looked at Wang Shuzhi anxiously, Wang Shuzhi didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, he only slightly raised his eyes to look at King Yi with an unclear expression.

Not long after, an imperial decree was proclaimed, and the servant's sharp voice echoed in the main hall. After reading it, the meaning was obvious: the throne was passed on to King Yi Sima Kuo, and as for the crown prince, not a single word was mentioned.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, King Yi made it clear that he wanted to usurp the throne, those who were dissatisfied showed anger, and before Wang Shuzhi opened his mouth, some people couldn't help but question him.

King Yi accepted the imperial decree, smiled slightly with downcast eyes, slowly rubbed his fingertips on the imperial decree, and said softly: "Master Chen, is this...resisting the decree?"

As soon as the words fell, two imperial guards rushed in at the entrance of the main hall, and swiftly took Master Chen into custody.

The people around gasped in unison, looking at King Yi with a bit of fear in their eyes.

Standing tall, Wang Shuzhi watched him slowly walk towards the height, and said with a smile: "For this imperial decree, the truth is also doubtful. If King Yi wants to arrest someone, why not tie the truth first?"

Naturally, Wang Yi didn't have the guts to manipulate him. If Wang Yu was annoyed, the gain would outweigh the loss.

However, when Wang Shuzhi opened his mouth, it was like setting up a sea god needle in the hearts of many people. Before King Yi could express anything, doubts came to him like a tide.

The emperor died strangely, the prince disappeared inexplicably, and the throne was passed on to him by passing the prince... none of which he could explain clearly.But so what?Since he intends to usurp the throne, he is ready to bear the infamy.

Winners and losers, history is written for the winners, as long as he is firmly on the throne, these noisy civil servants who are able to speak out will not be able to do anything to him.The powerful and powerful families have deep roots, but none of them can compare to the Langya Wang family. He has Wang Yu's support, so what else is there to be afraid of?

His ears were buzzing, King Yi was furious, and shouted angrily: "Come on! Bind all these traitors and put them in prison immediately!"

There was a sound of thud, and the imperial guards rushed into the hall, but they were not trying to arrest people. Instead, they knelt on the ground with a "plop" and said in panic, "Your Highness, outside...outside...a fight has begun!"

"What?" King Yi frowned and looked at him displeasedly, "What are you panicking about! Speak up if you have something to say!"

Wang Shuzhi sneered: "Maybe let the truth speak for him, um... It should be Mr. Xie who led the troops to seek rebellion."

King Yi's expression changed in an instant. He knew that Xie Zhuo held the military power, but in his plan, Xie Zhuo would never rush in with troops. Even if he had the heart, he shouldn't be so fast.

The people in the hall were no longer interested in arguing, and seeing Wang Shuzhi turn around and walk out lightly, they hurriedly followed.

The rest of the people looked at King Yi one after another, a little at a loss: "Your Highness, what should we do now?"

King Yi clenched the imperial decree in his hand, his eyes almost ignited: "Drag! Da Sima has already rushed over!"

As he spoke, he rushed into the side hall, and asked a confidant who came in a hurry: "What's going on? Did Xie Zhuo even care about the prince's life?"

The man swallowed his saliva: "Master Xie said, if you want to kill, kill it."

Wang Yi looked at him coldly, with a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

If the crown prince dies, will Xie Zhuo still make wedding clothes for others?How could Xie Zhuo ignore the crown prince in his hands?Is it because my subordinates are not doing things right and something went wrong, or are they lying?

The man broke out in cold sweat under his piercing gaze, and explained: "This subordinate will never dare to lie a single word! Xie Zhuo only glanced at the prince, and he really didn't care. The upper cut was bleeding, and he remained unmoved."

King Yi stared at him for a while, then snorted coldly, "Bring him here!"

The man responded, feeling that he was more gloomy and terrifying than ever before, and retreated scramblingly.

It was already chaotic outside, Xie Zhuo was surrounded by a group of guards, and said loudly: "King Yi killed his father to usurp the throne, and hijacked the prince to threaten Xie, intending to prevent Xie from sending troops to rescue everyone! King Yi is unfaithful and unfilial, heaven and earth will not tolerate it!"

The soldiers brought by Xie Zhuo roared in unison: "King Yi is unfaithful and unfilial! Heaven and earth will not tolerate it! Disloyalty and unfilial piety! Heaven and earth will not tolerate it!"

The sound resounded through the sky, and while the officials were excited, they couldn't help worrying about the prince.

King Yi's fists were creaking. He really wanted to usurp the throne, but where did the idea of ​​"killing his father" come from?It turned out that Xie Zhuo was also a treacherous person, but he underestimated him!

King Yi signaled to the commander of the imperial army that they must drag Wang Yu to rescue him, but the fighting outside did not last long, and suddenly fell into silence.

A troop of cavalry broke into everyone's field of vision. The man in the middle stood high on the horse's back. He wore a wide robe with wide sleeves, and his belt was in the wind. He could not hide his innocence in the luxury. His eyes were calm and his expression was solemn. He stopped gently. Get off the horse, and face Yi Wang far away.

The astonished crowd came back to their senses, overjoyed, knelt down and kowtowed, and shouted excitedly, "Welcome Your Highness the Crown Prince!"

Xie Zhuo made a gesture, the soldiers in the inner circle confronted the imperial army with weapons in their hands, and the soldiers in the outer circle put their knees on the ground.

"Welcome Your Highness the Crown Prince!" The shouts shook the mountains.

Wang Shuzhi looked at Sima Rong, who was bathed in the sun, from a distance, and when he saw his gaze turn, he immediately smiled contentedly.

Sima Rong couldn't help but look at King Yi.

King Yi stared at him in disbelief. He was so shocked that he immediately fell into a passive position. The imperial army was also shocked by the sudden shouts from the mountains, but in an instant, the two sides stood up.

Sima Rong's eyes were cold and cold: "King Yi murdered his father and usurped the throne, and we must be punished together! You must not help the tyrant to do evil, and anyone who surrenders will not be blamed!"

The besieged imperial army looked at each other, and when hesitating, they glanced at their respective commanders in a panic. Seeing that the faces of several commanders were determined, they couldn't help but clenched the knives in their hands again.

Satisfied that no one surrendered, King Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at Sima Rong mockingly. He suppressed the doubts in his heart and sneered, "Father has passed the throne to this king. You are already an abolished prince. Now you have brought so many people here. Do you want to impress the palace like a deposed prince?"

The corners of Sima Rong's lips curled slightly: "Is King Yi waiting for Da Sima to come to rescue the soldiers?"

King Yi's face changed slightly.

The ministers next to him were taken aback, and looked at Wang Shuzhi with unknown meanings. Wang Shuzhi seemed to be unaware of it, and admired the faint expression on Sima Rong's face with his hands behind his back, feeling happy.

Sima Rong glanced at him, then looked at King Yi again, and said in a solemn voice, "Grand Sima is loyal to the country, and the elite soldiers under his banner are used to kill barbarians, so how could they be driven by a traitor like you?"

The gaze that looked at Wang Shuzhi suddenly retracted a lot.

King Yi's face was serious, as if he was lying to the imperial guards, and was about to speak out to appease them, when he suddenly saw Xie Zhuo winking at a corner from the corner of his eye.

There was a crisp "clang", and the sound of weapons falling to the ground came from the corner.

Seeing that the besieged Forbidden Army looked loose, King Yi secretly called out that something was wrong, and shouted sharply: "Don't be fooled!"

"Kang Dang! Bang Dang..." There were several crisp sounds one after another, like thunder in the ears of the tense imperial guards, instantly drowning out King Yi's angry shouts.

Sima Rong said loudly: "Those who disarm, forget the past!"

These imperial guards were already nervous, but at this moment the defense line in their hearts completely collapsed. Without thinking about it, they dropped the knives in their hands and smashed them on the floor tiles one after another.

King Yi was so angry that his complexion turned black. Seeing that the situation was over, he was startled and angry. He turned around and lifted the lapel of a confidant, and said angrily, "What's going on? When did the crown prince escape? Where is Da Sima?"

"Sub... this subordinate will send someone to investigate!"

"It's too late!" King Yi pushed him away with a hideous expression on his face.

Wang Shuzhi looked up at the sky and sighed lightly.

He was always worried about his uncle, but he didn't expect to come to this point after all. Fortunately, he had already made arrangements, so he asked King Jing to lead his troops to stop him in time.

Sima Rong protected the face of his royal family in public, but he couldn't express the guilt in his heart. Fortunately, King Yi was dying, and his uncle couldn't afford to stir up trouble.

Seeing that the general situation was over, King Yi's complexion turned blue and white, and he was about to escape under the guard of his own soldiers, but he saw someone rushing from the other direction.

Several confidantes dragged a person in front of him: "Your Highness! The prince has brought it here, but..."

"Prince?!" Yi Wang stared dumbfounded at the unconscious man in the middle, rushed over in three steps at a time, grabbed him, frowned and looked up and down.

The surrounding soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay.

King Yi suddenly laughed, turned around and rushed back with the man in his arms.

"Your Highness must not do it!" The people around were shocked, and they chased after him and urged, "Run away before it's too late!"

King Yi turned a deaf ear to his mad face, strode outside, and finally stood still, ignoring the imperial troops who had surrendered one after another, looked at Sima Rong from a distance, and laughed loudly: "Everyone has been deceived! The prince sitting on the horse, is fake!"
