The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Chapter 374 Meeting
King Yong sat in the prison, staring at the small window in a daze, Ma Guowei and Zhou Bing were imprisoned next to him.

King Yan's arrow didn't kill him, it just wounded his shoulder. Because of the armor protection, the wound was not too deep, but King Yong knew in his heart that he wouldn't live for long.

Rebellion is a serious crime that affects the whole family, and it is also a serious crime that the emperor will never tolerate.

King Yong knew the day he started the incident that if he fails, he will be benevolent.

It's just that he felt very guilty for implicating the entire Prince Yong's mansion and many children.

The government's decree did not come down, but King Yong didn't care about it, but the courtiers whom King Yong had won over in the past few days were unlucky.

Those ministers who went with King Yong on weekdays were all sent to prison, and torture and torture were unavoidable, but anyone who was related to King Yong became a prisoner, but those people are the relatives of the emperor. There is no sentence for the time being.

Princess Jiacheng was also imprisoned, but she was locked in another cell, and King Yong could not see her.

King Yong's wives and concubines, one counts as one, are all kept next to Princess Jiacheng, even Princess Yong is no exception.

Originally the favored son of heaven, Tianhuang nobleman, after he became a prisoner, he couldn't accept such a gap for a while, at first he complained of injustice, and later he insulted King Yong, blaming him for bringing the whole family down.

King Yong was sitting in the prison, and when he heard those insulting voices, his heart felt like a knife, and he felt very uncomfortable.

A stranger came to the prison today. He was not imprisoned, but walked in openly. The guards of the prison did not stop him.

When King Yong saw Wang Gang outside the prison, he was very surprised.

"Chang Feng, you haven't been arrested?" King Yong said excitedly to Wang Gang.

"My lord was joking, why was I arrested." Wang Gang said with a light smile.

King Yong felt something was wrong, frowned, and took a deep look at Wang Gang.

Wang Gang is in very good condition, with a calm expression, and he is not handcuffed, so he does not look like a prisoner.

"How can you stay out of it?"

Wang Gang said with a smile: "I didn't participate in the rebellion, and I was the Eighth Prince's savior. How could someone come to arrest me?"

King Yong's eyes widened, not daring to say anything: "You help the eight kings?"

Wang Gang nodded and said: "That's right, I'll send the Eighth King to the Imperial Army, otherwise how could he return to Beijing so quickly to protect King Qin."

"You betrayed me?" King Yong said in shock, "Why did you betray me!?"

Wang Gang didn't speak, but walked to the next cell, and said to the inside: "Master Ma, do you still remember me?"

Ma Guowei looked at Wang Gang carefully, but he didn't recognize him for a while.

"Your Excellency Ma is busy with personnel affairs, so you may have forgotten the boy from the Sheng family who was imprisoned in Jiangning Mansion." Wang Gang said leisurely.

"The Sheng family." Ma Guowei recalled, and suddenly a boy appeared in his mind.

"You are Sheng Hong's son." Ma Guowei finally remembered.

Wang Gang said with a sneer: "Master Ma's kindness back then, I dare not forget for a moment, how about the cell I prepared for Master Ma now, is it better than the one in Jiangning Mansion?"

King Yong finally understood everything at this time, and also knew the reason why Wang Gang betrayed him.

At the beginning, King Yong was not ignorant of the conflict between Ma Guowei and Sheng Hong. He thought that if he gave away the thousand-year-old ginseng, the grievances and grievances would be settled.

Wang Gang walked to King Yong's cell and said: "Master Ma forced my father to abandon his official position and run away in order to collect money for the prince. I will never forget this incident."

"Just for such a trivial matter, you want my Prince Yong's mansion to be destroyed?" King Yong's voice trembled a little.

Wang Gang shook his head and said: "It's not just because of what happened back then, it's mainly because I feel that since the grievances have settled, we must find a way to resolve them, otherwise it will always be a hidden danger."

King Yong cursed: "I trust you so much that I even want to marry my only daughter to you. Is that how you treat me?"

If it wasn't for the fence separating him, King Yong would have liked to eat Wang Gang's flesh and drink his blood.

Wang Gang shook his head again and said, "My lord is joking, when did you trust me? Didn't you let Lu Chuan monitor me all the time?"

"how do you know?"

King Yong is a hero, he doesn't trust anyone except himself, even if Wang Gangjin donated more than 100 million taels of silver, and even helped him pull out many subordinates of his old rival, King Yan.

Wang Gang is well aware of this.

"My lord, your subordinates are too stingy. Lu Chuan is a talent after all. You can easily be resented by your subordinates for spending that little money every year." Wang Gang smiled.

King Yong suddenly thought that Lu Chuan had not arrived on the day of forcing the palace, so it was Wang Gang's trick again.

"What did you do to Lu Chuan?" King Yong asked.

Wang Gang said calmly: "I gave Lu Chuan a large sum of money, now he should retire in Jiangnan!"

King Yong sat down on the ground decadently, and asked, "Did you plot against me from the very beginning?"

Wang Gang nodded generously and said: "That's right, from the first day we met, no, it should be said that before we met, I was plotting against the prince."

King Yong closed his eyes in pain, and said: "It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous, I am a majestic prince, but I was defeated by a little bastard."

Wang Gang said: "My lord, you don't have to feel wronged, I have spent a lot of thought in order to bring you down."

King Yong rushed to Wang Gang with a cry, and put his hands through the railing, trying to pinch Wang Gang's neck.

Wang Gang stepped back slightly, and King Yong's hand could no longer touch him.

"Why, why did you treat me like this?!" King Yong howled in pain.

Wang Gang waited until King Yong calmed down, and then said: "My lord, don't blame me, the main reason is that you are too strong, I have to use this method to bring you down.

Don't feel wronged, for all these years, you have done evil things in order to fight for the crown, and you have died ten times without being wronged. No one in your Prince Yong's mansion is innocent. "

Ever since Wang Gang wanted to take down King Yong and avenge his past, he found out that King Yong was too powerful to do it alone.

An opponent who was too strong, what should he do? Soon Wang Gang thought, since he couldn't deal with King Yong, let someone who could deal with him do it.

The person who can kill a prince is naturally only someone who is more powerful than him.

Official Zhao Zhen.

But King Yong is a member of the royal family after all, no matter how big a mistake he makes, the emperor will not kill him, at most he will be imprisoned or distributed.

The only thing the emperor will never tolerate is rebellion.

Only by forcing King Yong to rebel is the only chance to bring him down.

So Wang Gang made a plan to lure King Yong to rebel step by step.

During this period, Wang Gang even had to go off in person, spent more than one million silver, and even helped King Yong eliminate a large number of opponents in order to gain his trust.

Fortunately, everything went well, King Yong still fell into the trap set by Wang Gang step by step for the sake of the throne.

However, the reason why King Yong fell into the trap was that apart from his own stupidity, the official Zhao Zhen also helped Wang Gang a lot.

Wang Gang has read the original work of Zhiwu, and he knows that the officials have long preferred King Yong to inherit the Datong, which is why King Yan jumped the wall in a hurry to force the palace.

However, Zhao Zhen has a very bad habit, that is, he refuses to let go of the power in his opponent's hands, and he has been reluctant to make King Yong the crown prince for a long time, which caused the two to be suspicious of each other.

Without this suspicion, King Yong would not have trusted Wang Gang.

"Do you think you can escape?" King Yong exclaimed angrily, "You helped me plan a rebellion and committed the crime of exterminating the nine clans. Your Sheng family must also be buried with me."

Wang Gang laughed and said: "My lord, you still don't understand the purpose of me digging a tunnel next to you to meet in private?"

King Yong was taken aback for a moment, the fact that Wang Gang proposed to meet in the secret way back then was vivid in his memory.

"I met you in the secret passage, who knows our relationship?" Wang Gang said triumphantly.

"I know, and my subordinates know too." King Yong said angrily:
"I'll go to the secretary's house right away and let him arrest you."

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "You won't."

King Yong laughed back in anger, "How could I let you go."

Wang Gang took out a silver lock and handed it to King Yong. King Yong's complexion changed drastically.

"The child that the prince hid outside is so cute."

King Yong's eyes widened and he roared, "Don't move your words, otherwise I'll be a ghost and I won't let you go."

Wang Gang said: "My lord has underestimated me. I am innocent. How can I take action against the child? He is safe now, but if you want to die, I can't guarantee it. He is probably your only blood."

"Despicable, shameless." King Yong said angrily.

Wang Gang said: "I left a bloodline for the prince, you should be grateful to me."

King Yong's teeth itched in anger, wishing he could bite Wang Gang to death.

"My lord, not only can't you report on me, but you have to restrain your subordinates, otherwise the little lord will be reunited with you in the prison." Wang Gang left a word proudly, and slowly exited the prison.

After Wang Gang left, King Yong fell to the ground decadently, staring at the ceiling with blank eyes.

King Yong found sadly that he really had nothing to do with Wang Gang.
