I want to be a faint king [Rebirth]

It was not yet night, but the one hundred thousand soldiers and horses gathered by King Qi had quietly escaped everyone's sight and came to the foot of the capital, quietly setting up camp.

Xu Zheng, who came to the army at noon, is currently in Qi Wang Yuanqi's tent, and is being received by Qi Wang himself. Xu Zheng is very happy to drink a pot of dirty wine. He has been looking forward to this moment for 23 years, since Qi Wang left Beijing. , He has stayed in Beijing for almost 23 years.

King Qi once promised him that if one day he can return to the capital and ascend to the throne, then Xu Zheng will be his most important person. I'm afraid he won't be able to be a male empress, but the position of one person below ten thousand is up to him pick.

As for Xu Zhengyao, all he wanted was to be able to stay by King Qi's side for a long time, and he had nothing else to ask for.

Yuan Qi hugged Xu Zheng in his arms, handed the wine glass to his lips, and said with a smile, "It's been so many years, I miss me so much."

"As long as I can help the lord get things done, no matter how difficult it is, I will endure it." Xu Zheng raised his eyes to look at the person in front of him, never smiling so comfortably.

"Then the little emperor has betrayed his relatives after all?" Yuan Qi drank the wine in his glass, groped Xu Zheng's thin lips with his thumb, and asked in his ear.

"I don't have a single confidant. I'm afraid he still thinks that Xiao Yushi is going to take his position. It's just like this that the prince has the opportunity to cultivate his own connections and secretly raise soldiers." Xu Zheng raised his eyes lightly, He bumped into Yuan Qi's deep eyes.

Yuan Qi didn't answer any more, just bowed his head and kissed his thin lips, and after plundering him fiercely, he didn't care where he was, picked up Xu Zheng by his waist, and went to the bed.

*

In Yushi's mansion, Xiao Rong was sitting in the main hall dignifiedly, watching the servants in the courtyard without looking sideways, they were taking care of everything in an orderly manner until he was the only one left in the whole mansion.

He is only one person left. Although his grandfather escaped from the court in his early years, he has traveled all over the world since then, and he has never seen him again.

His father fell seriously ill shortly after he lost the dukedom of Zhenguo, and passed away not long after. Before he left, he once persuaded Xiao Rong that the current majesty is no longer the boy he was back then, and he should let go earlier. .

But Xiao Rong said: "The former emperor ordered the child to assist the government. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has gradually deviated from the benevolent government. It is the child's fault. The child cannot leave. If the child leaves, the world will really be in chaos."

Xiao Yuzhang passed away with regret, and soon after, the emperor took advantage of political mistakes to demote Xiao Rong's second uncle and third uncle from official positions until they became civilians.But Xiao Rong still refused to let go of the government and let the emperor run amok.

The emperor especially trusted Xu Zheng, and even the military power was gradually handed over to Xu Zheng. The Huben army guarding the capital was originally a relative of the emperor, but it was finally handed over to Xu Zheng, not to mention that most of the courtiers in the court were Xu Zheng. However, Xiao Rong has no one to use. The only person he can trust is Zhao Yan, the commander of the imperial army.

As the night gradually fell, Jiang Mian came from outside the house, clasped his fists to salute Xiao Rong, and said, "My lord, everything is ready, are you sure you want to do this?"

"It must be done." Xiao Rong said resolutely: "I would rather bear a lifetime of infamy than let His Majesty continue to make mistakes. Now that King Qi's army is approaching the city, but he has been reluctant to fight for a long time, what he wants is a reason, a reason to be enthroned in a legitimate way. "

"King Qi has 10 horses, and the imperial army is only 2, my lord..." Jiang Mian was about to persuade him again, but only saw Xiao Rong raised his hand, his eyes became deeper and deeper:

"As long as His Majesty is alive, King Qi will not dare to act rashly. I just need to give him a reason to raise troops. As long as His Majesty wakes up in time, Ziqi's soldiers and horses will be able to return to Gyeonggi in the morning. At that time, we will cooperate internally and externally. Subdue King Qi's rebellious party."

Looking at Xiao Rong's appearance, Jiang Mian knew that he had made up his mind, and he didn't intend to persuade him anymore, so he cupped his fists and said, "My lord, the time has come."

"Enter the palace." Xiao Rong said softly but resolutely, then stood up and straightened his clothes, looked at the long sword left by his grandfather on the shelf, was silent for a long time, finally took it up, and brought his grandfather's sword together , went out and got on the carriage to the palace.

He has a reason in his arms that can make King Qi raise troops. Once the edict of the Zen position is promulgated, Xiao Rong will be confirmed as a traitor and traitor, and King Qi Yuanqi will be able to raise troops to serve the king in a legitimate way. As long as the emperor can see King Qi By breaking into the imperial city, he would let the emperor understand that everything he had before was being used by others.

It's just that Xiao Rong was smart all his life, but he forgot that the emperor's temper was so stubborn. He would rather die than put a seal on the edict of Zen.

What's more, the edict didn't write a single word, and the emperor didn't even read it, so he killed himself...

Hot blood sprayed on Xiao Rong's face, he watched in astonishment the emperor whom he wholeheartedly protected fell in front of him, with anger and resentment towards him in his heart, he stabbed himself.

Xiao Rong took a step forward and hugged Yuan Yin into his arms, holding him tightly. He has always been the one who has the best chance of winning, but at this moment his eyes are full of panic, it is clear that he has a good chance of winning. As long as he dies, the emperor's country can be preserved.

Why didn't he want to read the wordless imperial edict?

Hot tears rolled down Xiao Rong's cheeks, he hugged the emperor's body tightly in his arms, and pressed against his cheeks that were gradually losing warmth, his heart felt like a knife was being cut, he wanted to throw this country away from the pain.

He shouldn't be so persistent, insisting on giving King Qi a reason to raise troops, wanting to protect the emperor in the palace and ensure that he will not be harmed.

Now he doesn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of him.

He still vaguely remembered the scene when he saw Yuan Yin when he was 12 years old. The soft and sticky brother Rong decided that he should protect him all his life.

"My lord..." Jiang Mian took a step forward, looked at Xiao Rong holding Yuan Yin in shock, and couldn't bear to say it.

"What's going on?" Xiao Rong looked at Jiang Mian with tears in his eyes and asked.

"Mr. Ziqi's soldiers and horses were ambushed on the way, and the entire army was wiped out. Mr. Ziqi, he..." Jiang Mian couldn't continue, but choked up and moved away from her cheek.

Originally, there was a good chance of winning. Originally, Xiao Rong had a certain chance of winning, but he never thought that Ziqi would encounter an ambush after the death of the emperor. At present, Xiao Rong only has 2 horses from the imperial army.

"No matter what, I want to guard the country of His Majesty. Even if he is gone, the country should belong to him, Yuan Yin, not Qi Wang Yuan Qi." Xiao Rong's eyes turned fierce, he hugged Yuan Yin horizontally, and flattened him Putting it on the bed, carefully wiped off the blood on his face.

A bitter smile spread across Xiao Rong's lips, he held Yuan Yin's hand and put it on his chest, and said affectionately and firmly: "Your Majesty, I will guard your country, it should be yours, if If I can't keep it, infamy in that life is the best punishment for me."

Xiao Rong got up, leaving only a small group of people to guard the emperor's dragon body again, and he himself, with his sword, guarded the imperial city with the imperial army.

But after a night of fighting, the imperial city was covered with blood, and the bloody smell lingered over the Daming Palace. Crows circled and croaked, mournful and mournful.

Xiao Rong, with disheveled hair and blood-stained face, was seriously injured, but he still stood upright in front of the last palace gate, looking fiercely at the horsemen leading the men and horses, striding into the imperial city with their heads held high.

The soldiers rushing to the forefront stabbed towards Xiao Rong with spears in their hands.

The sharp blade pierced through his scarred body, and blood spurted out after the sharp blade was pulled away, but he still stood upright, looking at King Qi with firm and energetic eyes, and opened his mouth slightly, and blood spurted out from his mouth.

King Qi jumped off his horse, stepped on the blood left by the soldiers when they opened the way, and walked up to Xiao Rong step by step, looking at him as a victor and saying:

"My king... no, it should be me. I once wrote a letter to you, warning you that the emperor has long regarded you as a thorn in his side, a thorn in his flesh, but you didn't listen, and you must be his minister. Now it's good, his soul is in bliss , and you will bear a lifetime of infamy, be reviled by thousands of people, still fail to keep his country, and even take your own life, is it worth it?"

The corner of Xiao Rong's mouth curled into a mocking smile, but he could see that King Qi was terrified.

Xiao Rong struggled and said: "It's worth it! If I can keep it, I will keep it; if I can't, I will die. It doesn't matter if everyone scolds me. I never care about the opinions of the world, I only care about whether I do it right or not."

"If that's the case, then go to die." King Qi took a step forward, and the sharp dagger pierced into Xiao Rong's chest.

As for Xiao Rong, he never succumbed to his belief until his death, and that mocking smile was vividly engraved in King Qi's mind, and he could never get rid of it all his life.

In the first month of the 13th year of Daxing, the censor doctor Xiao Rong rebelled, and the first emperor killed himself. Later Qi Wang Yuanqi raised troops to serve the king, killed rebels, and punished the rebellious party. Because the first emperor had no heirs, Qi Wang Yuanqi succeeded the new emperor and named the first emperor Yuanyin as Emperor Ai , changed the name to Jianye.

In February of the first year of Jianye, Qi Wang Yuanqi officially ascended the throne as emperor, all the alien parties in the court were eliminated, and Xu Zheng was appointed as prime minister.

On the fifth day of March in the first year of Jianye, the emperor established his concubine Ashina Adan, the princess of Beiyi, as the queen, and the whole country celebrated with joy.

On the ninth night of March, the empress and the emperor hosted a banquet in Jiaofang Hall of Ganquan Palace to entertain the courtiers who had contributed to the new dynasty.

On the night of March [-]th, the queen hosted a banquet for the prime minister Xu Zheng alone in Jiaofang Hall. She entertained him with singing and dancing.

In the dark cell, Xu Zheng stood in shackles, quietly waiting for the arrival of the emperor.

Finally, Xu Zheng saw the figure of the emperor, but he was inside and the emperor was outside.

He asked, "Did you ever love me?"

The emperor sneered: "Those who achieve great things, why should they stick to love."

Xu Zheng smiled wryly. He seemed to finally understand why the emperor threw him into prison without listening to his explanation, or even doing any investigation. He was just a pawn on his way to power. Now the pawn is useless, so he naturally discarded it .

On March [-]th of the first year of Jianye, Prime Minister Xu Zheng hanged himself in prison.
