Chapter 682: The Death of the Crown Prince
The guards of King Shu's Mansion picked up the prince, and the group kept running out of the city.
Farther and farther away from the city, the prince turned out to be a little drowsy.
"Crown Prince," King Shu's voice came, "do you remember what I said?"
The prince opened his eyes blankly.
King Shu's eyes were exceptionally clear: "The first emperor told me that as a royal family, if you can't always contribute to the court and share your worries, then you can only do one thing commensurate with your status." ”
The prince nodded, King Shu has been talking about this silently in the past few days.
"Now is the time to do this," Shu said, "I want you to finish it with me." ”
The prince just wanted to ask what it was, but when he saw a flash of light in front of him, King Shu pulled out a steel knife, and then he felt a pain in his waist, and a stream of hot blood suddenly spurted out.
The prince's eyes widened in surprise, pain and consternation distorted his expression, his lips trembled, and he tried to speak but couldn't make a sound.
King Shu must have taken refuge in King Ning, and now he wants to take his head to King Ning to ask for merit......
"It's not King Ning," King Shu smiled slightly, "I don't dare to help that fool sit on the throne, I'm afraid that the first emperor will come to ask for my life at night, but it doesn't matter who it is, you can't see it anyway, but don't worry, after this incident, I will vouch for the prince to let your name remain in the royal family genealogy, because you have also done something worthy of your identity." ”
"It's a good thing, a lot of people will survive when you die. ”
After King Shu finished speaking, he stabbed the prince in the abdomen again, and then calmly ordered his entourage: "Go and report to Lord Ma Rui...... Jin and King Ning colluded to kill the crown prince, please come and help......"
The prince's eyes widened and he could only watch all this.
"Carry the prince into the woods, and we will wait for Master Marry. ”
The attendant answered, and everyone was busy for a while, and finally found a secluded place and gently placed the prince on the ground.
The prince felt the chill creep up little by little, and his body began to lose consciousness.
King Shu moistened his hands with the blood of the prince, wiped it on his face and body, then tore off the hem of his robe, entangled the prince's wounds, and made the appearance of trying his best to rescue the prince.
The prince opened his mouth and wanted to scold King Shu for being shameless, but all he could do was gasp for breath, he never expected that this useless King Shu would actually harm him like this.
He did not die in the Kingdom of Jin, did not die on the battlefield, but died in the hands of King Shu.
He is a prince, how can he let people plot like this.
No one paid any attention to him anymore, because they knew like King Shu that he was about to turn into a corpse.
"Prince......" A shout came, followed by chaotic footsteps.
Ma Rui and several prefects of Nazhou, Sizhou and Fenzhou rushed to the daimyo non-stop, and they were discussing how to send the prince back to the capital along the way, but what they didn't expect to see was the prince lying on the ground and dying.
Everyone's faces became extremely ugly, and the governor of the state sat on the ground, shaking his hands and feet.
The prince's body was stained red with blood, even if Da Luo Jinxian was alive, I am afraid he would be helpless. The crown prince was killed under their noses, and when it came to the royal front, they could not escape the blame.
The left is dead, the right is also dead, and there is no way to live anyway.
Ma Rui came back to his senses first and looked at King Shu next to him, King Shu's hair was scattered, his face was covered with blood, he lost a shoe, and his hands were red with blood, as if he had just gone to the underworld and had been frightened. ”
"Lord Shu," Ma Rui said, "who killed the prince? ”
King Shu didn't react at all, only his lips trembled uncontrollably.
Ma Rui gritted his teeth, picked up a water bag, and splashed it all on King Shu's face, King Shu shuddered, stared at him with round eyes, and took a long breath: "Prince...... What about the prince......"
He looked around in a panic, and then stumbled and pounced on the prince: "Prince...... I didn't protect the crown prince well, and I was blamed for the emperor's grace, if I had known that the golden man was uneasy and kind...... I will fight to save the prince. ”
The crown prince on the ground seemed to be touched by King Shu's words, and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to speak.
Seeing this, the governor of Nazhou immediately said: "The prince has something to say." ”
King Shu reacted first, stretched out his hand and held the prince's cheek tightly, and the whole person leaned up: "Prince, what did you say?"
The prince only felt that a heavy object was pressing his body, he finally couldn't breathe, opened his eyes and saw the big face of King Shu, his hands were tightly clenched, the whole person was like a fish that was choked in the cheek, his mouth was wide open, his body kept shaking, and after the pain of suffocation, he finally let out his last breath.
Everyone stared at King Shu, hoping that King Shu would be able to hear the slightest sound, and that might be the last words left by the crown prince.
"Prince, ......" King Shu shouted, and the whole person suddenly fainted.
Ma Rui immediately ordered: "What are you still doing in a daze? Do we want to see the crown prince and the king of Shu today...... Won't you be able to do it here?"
Only then did several people react, and immediately stepped forward to help King Shu up, checking the breath of the prince and King Shu respectively.
After a period of busy work, King Shu woke up slowly, but the prince stared at the dead gray eyes, unable to stare.
"Lord Shu," Ma Rui said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already arrived, you ...... Did you hear what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, what should we do?"
King Shu said after a while: "The prince said...... Seal the customs, save the ......"
Closure.
This is the rule set by Gaozong, if there is a serious war in Daqi, the border guard general must immediately block the border pass and prepare for the battle.
Several prefects looked at each other, and if King Ning really colluded with the Jin State, it was bound to be guarded against.
"What should I do?" the prefect of Sizhou looked at Ma Rui, "If this is the case, the first to bear the brunt is Zhending and Taiyuan, and now the general stationed on the border should be Rong Guogong, but Rong Guogong has not returned to Taiyuan for a long time, and now he should rush to the capital to rescue the driver......"
"The capital is blocked, and we can't tell the emperor. ”
"It is a felony for us not to protect the prince," Ma Rui said, "If we let the Jin Kingdom break into the pass again, we will be even more unforgivable, so we can't take another wrong step now, the prince has been in the Jin country for so long, and he knows the situation of the Jin country best...... If something really happens to the frontier, we will be attacked on our backs, and we will be even more unable to save the emperor and the queen mother. ”
As soon as Ma Rui's words fell, he heard someone say: "Ladies and gentlemen, the rebels have arrived, and we don't have enough manpower...... Get out of here!"
