King Yong sat in the sky prison, looking at the small window in a daze. Next to him were Ma Guowei and Zhou Bing.
King Yan's arrow did not kill him, it only wounded his shoulder. Because it was protected by armor, the wound was not deep, but King Yong knew in his heart that he would not survive for long.
Rebellion is a major crime that implicates the nine tribes, and it is also a major crime that the emperor will never tolerate.
King Yong understood on the day he started the rebellion that he would be benevolent if he failed.
It's just that he felt very guilty, implicating the entire Yong Palace and many of his children.
The official decree has not been issued, but King Yong has no one to pay attention to it. It's just that the courtiers that King Yong had won over in the past few days have been unlucky.
Those ministers who usually interacted with King Yong were sent to prison, and severe torture was inevitable. Anyone who was related to King Yong became prisoners of the rank, but after all, those people were relatives of the emperor.
No sentence has been imposed yet.
Princess Jiacheng was also imprisoned, but she was put in another cell and Prince Yong could not see her.
Every one of Prince Yong's wives and concubines was imprisoned next to Princess Jiacheng, even Princess Yong was no exception.
Originally, the favored son of heaven, the noble nobleman of Tianhuang, became a prisoner. He couldn't accept the gap for a while. At first, he complained about injustice, but later he insulted King Yong, blaming him for causing trouble to the whole family.
King Yong was sitting in the prison. Hearing the insults, his heart was as sharp as a knife and he felt very uncomfortable.
A stranger came to the Tianlao today. He was not imprisoned, but walked in openly without being blocked by the guards.
King Yong was very surprised when he saw Wang Gang outside the prison.
"Chang Feng, you weren't arrested?" King Yong said to Wang Gang excitedly.
"Your Majesty is joking, why am I being arrested?" Wang Gang said with a chuckle.
King Yong noticed something was wrong, frowned, and looked deeply at Wang Gang.
Wang Gang is in good condition, looks calm, and is not shackled. He does not look like a prisoner.
"How could you stay out of this?"
Wang Gang smiled and said: "I didn't participate in the rebellion, and I was the savior of the Eighth Prince. How could someone come to arrest me?"
King Yong's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "You help the Eighth King?"
Wang Gang nodded and said: "Yes, I will send the Eighth Prince to the Forbidden Army, otherwise how could he return to the capital so quickly to protect King Qin."
"You betrayed me?" King Yong said in shock: "Why did you betray me!?"
Wang Gang did not speak, but walked to the cell next to him and said inside: "Master Ma, do you still remember me?"
Ma Guowei looked at Wang Gang carefully and didn't recognize him for a moment.
"Master Ma is so busy with things that he may have forgotten about the boy from the Sheng family who was imprisoned in Jiangning Mansion." Wang Gang said leisurely.
"Sheng family." Ma Guowei thought about it, and a young boy suddenly appeared in his mind.
"You are Sheng Hong's son." Ma Guowei finally remembered.
Wang Gang sneered and said: "I dare not forget the kindness of Master Ma back then. How about the cell I have prepared for Master Ma now? Is it better than the one in Jiangning Mansion?"
At this time, King Yong finally understood everything and the reason why Wang Gang betrayed him.
At the beginning, King Yong was not unaware of the conflict between Ma Guowei and Sheng Hong. He thought that by giving away the thousand-year ginseng, the grudge would be settled.
Wang Gang walked to King Yong's cell and said, "In order to collect money for the prince, Master Ma forced my father to abandon his official position and run away. This kid will never forget it for a moment."
"You want the whole family of Prince Yong to be destroyed just for such a trivial matter?" Prince Yong's voice was trembling as he spoke.
Wang Gang shook his head and said: "It's not just because of what happened back then. Mainly because I feel that since the grudge has been established, we must find a way to resolve it, otherwise it will always be a hidden danger."
King Yong cursed loudly: "I trust you so much that I even want to marry my only daughter to you. Is this how you treat me?"
If it weren't for the fence, King Yong would have loved 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 ever trust me? Haven't you always asked Lu Chuan to monitor me?"
"how do you know?"
King Yong was a tyrannical man who did not trust anyone but himself, even though Wang Gangjin donated more than one million taels of silver and even helped him pull out many of his old rival King Yan's men.
Wang Gang knew this very well.
"My lord, you are too stingy with your subordinates. Lu Chuan is a talent after all. If you give him a small amount of money every year, you will easily be resented by his subordinates." Wang Gang said with a smile.
King Yong suddenly thought that on the day of forcing the palace, Lu Chuan had not arrived for a long time. Could it be Wang Gang's manipulation again?
"What did you do to Lu Chuan?" King Yong asked.
Wang Gang said calmly: "I gave Lu Chuan a large sum of money, and now he should retire in Jiangnan!"
King Yong sat down on the ground dejectedly and asked, "Have you been plotting against me from the beginning?"
Wang Gang nodded generously and said: "Yes, from the first day we met, no, I should say that before we even 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 great prince, but I was defeated by a little bastard."
Wang Gang said: "My lord, there is no need to feel aggrieved. I have spent a lot of effort to bring you down."
King Yong screamed and rushed towards Wang Gang, put his hands through the railing, and wanted to strangle Wang Gang's neck.
Wang Gang took a step back slightly, and King Yong's hand could no longer touch him.
"Why, why do you do this to me?!" King Yong howled in pain.
Wang Gang waited until King Yong calmed down and then said: "Your Majesty, don't blame me. The main reason is that you are too strong and I have to use this method to defeat you.
Don’t feel aggrieved. For all the evil things you have done over the years in order to fight for the throne, you will die ten times without being unjust. No one in Prince Yong’s palace is innocent."
Ever since Wang Gang wanted to overthrow King Yong and avenge his past, he discovered one thing. King Yong was too powerful and he simply couldn't do it.
What should he do if an opponent is too powerful? Wang Gang soon thought that since he couldn't solve King Yong, he would let someone who could solve him do it.
The only person who can kill a prince is someone with more power than him.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Official Zhao Zhen.
But King Yong was a member of the royal family after all. No matter how big a mistake he made, the emperor would not kill him. At most, he would be imprisoned or banished.
The one thing the Emperor will never tolerate is rebellion.
Only by forcing King Yong to rebel was the only chance to overthrow him.
So Wang Gang made a plan to induce King Yong to rebel step by step.
During this period, Wang Gang even had to go out in person, spend more than a million dollars, and even help King Yong eliminate a large number of opponents before he gained his slight trust.
Fortunately, everything went well, but 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 not only because he was stupid, but also because the official Zhao Zhen also helped Wang Gang a lot.
Wang Gang had read Zhichou's original work and knew that the official family had long been interested in King Yong to inherit the throne. Only then did King Yan jump over the wall and force the palace into the palace.
However, Zhao Zhen had a very bad habit of refusing to let go of the power in his hands and was reluctant to appoint King Yong as the crown prince, which led to mutual suspicion between the two.
Without this suspicion, King Yong would not have trusted Wang Gang so easily.
"Do you think you can run away?" King Yong shouted angrily: "You helped me plan a rebellion and committed the crime of annihilating the nine tribes. Your Sheng family will also have to be buried with me."
Wang Gang laughed and said: "My lord, you still don't understand the purpose of me digging a tunnel next door to meet you privately?"
King Yong was stunned. The incident when Wang Gang proposed to meet at the secret passage was still vivid in his mind.
"You and I met in the secret passage. Who knows about our relationship?" Wang Gang said proudly.
"I know, and my subordinates also know." King Yong said angrily:
"I'm going to write to the official and ask him to arrest you."
Wang Gang shook his head and said, "You won't."
King Yong was extremely angry and laughed back: "How could I let you go?"
Wang Gang took out a silver lock and handed it to King Yong. King Yong's expression changed drastically.
"The child your prince is hiding outside is so cute."
King Yong's eyes widened and he roared: "You are not allowed to say anything, otherwise I will not let you go even if I am a ghost."
Wang Gang said: "Your Majesty has underestimated me. I am an innocent child. How could I do anything to my child? He is safe now, but if you want to defeat him to death, I cannot guarantee it. He may very well be your only bloodline."
"Despicable, shameless." King Yong said angrily.
Wang Gang said: "I left a bloodline to the prince, you should be grateful to me."
King Yong was so angry that he wanted to bite Wang Gang to death.
"My lord, not only can you not report me, but you must also restrain your subordinates, otherwise the young prince will be reunited with you in prison." Wang Gang left a proud message and slowly exited the prison.
After Wang Gang left, King Yong fell to the ground in despair, staring at the ceiling with his eyes blankly.
King Yong sadly discovered that he really had nothing to do against Wang Gang.
