Chapter 74: Sharing Worries (Part 2)

"What's going on?" Emperor Xia Zhao asked in a daze.

"The slave and the maid don't know. It's just that the people from Chonghua Palace came over and said that there was a sudden fire in the palace, and the houses of the abolished emperor and the abolished queen mother were tightly closed, and everyone couldn't enter......" The attendant replied anxiously, and as he spoke, he glanced at Wang Yixing quickly.

"Your Majesty, you're busy with business. This little thing, just let Weichen deal with it. Wang Yixing bowed and replied.

Emperor Xia Zhao nodded, "Go ahead." As he spoke, he continued to discuss with the courtiers about the funeral of the Empress Dowager.

At this time, the New Year is approaching, and the royal funeral is cumbersome, and it is impossible to bury without two or three months.

Therefore, everyone agreed on a formal funeral service and waited until the end of the New Year to begin.

The palace is still lit up with lights, and there is a strong festive atmosphere.

……

Wang Yixing came to the gate of Chonghua Palace with his attendants, looked at the raging flames inside, and frowned: "Let's save the fire." ”

If you're not careful, setting everything else on fire is more than worth the loss.

Wang Yixing spoke, and the palace attendants and maids hurriedly carried water to put out the fire.

By the time they put the fire down, the deposed emperor and the deposed empress dowager had already suffocated to death by the smoke in the back room.

Wang Yixing took a closer look at it, nodded and said, "Give them a funeral." ”

Although it is the abolished emperor and the abolished queen mother, they are still members of the royal family, and they will be buried in the royal mausoleum, but they will only be buried in the area of the guilty person, and will not be buried with the serious emperor and queen.

After finishing the affairs of Chonghua Palace, Wang Yixing thought about it and simply took people to the prison.

In the prison, not only the Zhao Hou family is imprisoned. There is also the family of the prince who abolished the emperor. and many officials of the Zhao family.

"Get out of the way! Lord Wang is here! The jailer of the prison respectfully welcomed Wang Yixing in.

Wang Yixing walked to the front of the cell where the deposed prince was kept. He glanced at him with his hands behind his back.

The waste prince said hatefully: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Don't do anything, just give His Highness a glass of water and wine." Wang Yixing smiled and said, "Serve it." ”

There is only one kind of wine that is given to prisoners in the prison. -- Wine.

Not only was the deposed prince taken aback, but even the jailer was shocked.

"Wang ...... Lord Wang, but is it His Majesty's order? The jailer muttered.

If you want to kill the crown prince, you must at least have a holy decree, right?

Wang Yixing glanced at him, and said warmly: "Your Majesty is benevolent and generous." How can he be willing to kill his nephew. -- That's what I mean. ”

The jailer opened his mouth wide. - What does this mean?!

Can Lord Wang make up his mind on behalf of His Majesty?!

Wang Yixing smiled: "Huh? "What's not to do?" ”

"But......" The jailer was hesitant, and he still didn't dare to come out with the wine.

"Wang Yixing, you dare to fake the holy decree and kill the people in my clan?!" The waste prince heard what Wang Yixing meant, and asked angrily.

Wang Yixing glanced at him and said gently: "Why did Your Highness say this? Did I say it's 陛xià? ”

"No, no......" The jailer hurriedly shook his head.

"That's it. Since I didn't say that it was His Majesty's meaning, but only said that it was my own meaning, how can you say that I am a false messenger? Wang Yixing asked with a smile on his face and amiable.

He was just worried about His Majesty......

Wang Yixing's voice was clear and peaceful, with an air of justice. But the meaning of saying it is not like that.

The waste prince looked at him in a daze. I found myself at a loss to refute it.

"Bring the wine!" Wang Yixing said to the jailer again, "Just say I want it, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

The jailer nodded, went to get the wine, and put it in front of the waste prince, "Your Highness, please go on the road." ”

"Nope! Lonely don't drink! Lonely don't drink! The waste prince cried out in panic, trying to avoid the wine.

"Toast, don't eat, eat and drink." Wang Yixing's face sank, "Pour it into him!" ”

Several jailers rushed up and poured the wine into the stomach of the wasted prince.

Not long after the waste prince drank it, he fell to the ground and died.

"What about the crown princess? And what about the imperial grandson? All the sons and daughters of the abolished emperor, as well as the Zhao family......" Wang Yixing asked lightly, pointing to the wine, "Let's enjoy a glass for one person." As he spoke, he dusted off his sleeves and walked out of the prison.

What is currently locked up in the prison is Zhao Hou's descendants.

The crime committed by Zhao Hou is a great crime of the nine clans.

However, Wang Yixing knew that King Zhao had always been soft-hearted, and since the establishment of the Great Xia Dynasty, there had only been one connection to the nine clans.

“…… Send someone to arrest and behead the three clans of Zhao Hou. Wang Yixing commanded.

There is no need to connect the nine clans, but the three clans must be connected.

The chamberlain took the order and left.

Wang Yixing waited outside the prison for a while, and waited until the jailer came out and said, "It's all settled." He went in and checked.

From beginning to end, match the number of people on the roster.

Wang Yixing took a cinnabar pen and drew a big cross on the roster.

After finishing the affairs of the prison, Wang Yixing returned to the imperial study where Emperor Xia Zhao discussed with the ministers, and found that those courtiers had left, and Emperor Xia Zhao sat alone behind the bookcase, looking at the portrait of Zheng Xiangrong hanging on the opposite wall.

He was about to walk in when he heard Emperor Xia Zhao mutter, "...... I want to be the emperor. I'm going to make you queen. - My queen, it can only be you, not anyone else. ”

Wang Yixing let out a breath and said loudly at the door of the study: "Your Majesty, Weichen Wang Yixing asks to see!" ”

"Come in." Emperor Xia Zhao let him in.

Wang Yixing walked in, bowed down and replied: "Your Majesty, the abolished emperor and the abolished empress dowager were unfortunately choked to death by the smoke of the fire, and they have now been buried and buried. ”

"Well, how could there be a sudden fire?" Emperor Xia Zhao frowned, "If these people in the palace are not satisfied......"

"Your Majesty, in fact, it's the abolished emperor and the abolished empress dowager who don't want to live anymore." Wang Yixing hurriedly appeased Emperor Xia Zhao's heart, "I heard from the people in Chonghua Palace that they started the fire themselves and locked the door, and they couldn't go in to put out the fire if they wanted to." It was Weichen who went and ordered them to smash the door before entering. It's just a step too late......"

Emperor Xia Zhao sighed, "...... Actually, I don't have to kill them. ”

Wasted into commoners. Isn't it okay to circle in the capital?

Wang Yixing sunbathed.

Don't kill? ――Do you want to stay in the capital to raise fish?

“…… Majesty xià didn't say it early! Wang Yixing made a look of annoyance. Otherwise, Weichen will go earlier. You can also rescue them! "It's weird......

Emperor Xia Zhao glanced at him, "Forget it, since they don't want to live anymore, they won't live if they are encircled." As he spoke, he thought of the prince who abolished the emperor, and said: "But there is nothing wrong with the abolished prince, so let's abolish him as a concubine and trap him in the capital." ”

Wang Yixing couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead. - Fortunately, he struck first. Otherwise, according to His Majesty's procrastination temper, letting the waste prince survive will be endless troubles!

"Please forgive your sins." Wang Yixing knelt down, "The family of the waste prince, as well as Zhao Hou's family, were sent on the road with a glass of wine!" -- Wechen's failure to perceive the holy will and make claims is Wechen's fault! While speaking, he frequently kowtowed to Emperor Xia Zhao.

"What?!" Emperor Xia Zhao was taken aback. "Killed? How can you kill them all? If you're like this, how do people in the world think of me?! ”

Wang Yixing fell to the ground. He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, people in the world will only know that the abolished emperor, the abolished queen mother, the abolished prince and the Zhao Hou family are mad, and the murder of the first emperor happened. - Such a majesty, the people of the world will love Ruyi! ”

Other things, such as the end of the abolished emperor, the abolished queen mother, the abolished prince and the Zhao Hou family, do they still want to talk about it with great fanfare?

Who doesn't understand the truth of success and defeat?

Killing the monarch and rebelling are both major crimes of the nine clans, who doesn't understand?

If under such circumstances, he, Wang Yixing, can still make the world criticize Emperor Xia Zhao, then he doesn't have to mess around, and he resigns and goes back to Wangjia Village to catch snakes!

Emperor Xia Zhao listened to Wang Yixing's words, and pondered for a long time before waving his hand and saying, "Get up." Forget it, kill it, kill it......"

Wang Yi got up and said goodbye and left.

……

In the Divine General's Mansion, Zhou Huaixuan sat in Old Man Zhou's quiet room and sat and talked to him.

"Why did you want to speak so that King Zhao could ascend the throne immediately?" Old Man Zhou asked with a smile, "Our Divine General's Mansion has never interfered in the change of imperial power, have you forgotten?" ”

Zhou Huaixuan lowered his eyes and looked at the chessboard, and said lightly: "...... No one had ever surrounded the Divine General's Mansion with soldiers. Since they are meddling, why should we meddle? It was as if he was fighting with Zhao Hou.

Old Man Zhou squinted at Zhou Huaixuan.

He always felt that there was something wrong with this statement.

But I can't say it, because the meaning is high-sounding, and there is no doubt about it.

"Forget it, this kind of thing, that's the end of it. If I see you doing this kind of thing again, I, the son of the god's general, will not allow you to do it! Old Man Zhou deliberately scared him.

Zhou Huaixuan raised his eyebrows, "Whatever." He stood up and turned to leave.

"Stop!" Old Man Zhou stopped him, "I haven't finished asking yet!" ”

Zhou Huaixuan turned around and looked at Old Man Zhou indifferently.

"Where have you been these past few months? - I know you're not in Bezhuang, on the other side of the Eagle Sorrow Stream. Old Man Zhou said thoughtfully.

Needless to say, there must be Old Man Zhou's eyeliner in the Eagle Sorrowful Stream.

Zhou Huaixuan didn't think that this matter would completely hide Old Man Zhou, he just said lightly: "Take Siyan out for a walk." ”

"Is her leg okay?"

“…… Take the car without having to walk. Zhou Huaixuan said eloquently.

Old Man Zhou's face sank, "You're too much!" Taking her away for so long, I haven't had anyone play chess for months! Do you know how sad my grandfather was?! ”

Zhou Huaixuan: "......" arched his hand, "Now that we are back, you can play chess." ”

"If you say yes!" Old Man Zhou smiled, and the haze on his face was swept away.

……

Before Princess Zhao returned to King Zhao's mansion, her eyes suddenly widened.

There was a mess in front of the palace, dark blood stains everywhere, and it seemed that a fierce battle had been experienced.

"The princess is back!"

"What's going on?" Princess Zhao asked in surprise, "Lord Wang...... Oh no, what about Majesty? ”
