"What? The imperial court wants to take back the title of the Witch King and change it to the title of King of the Western Jin Dynasty?"
Sima Yi was arranging funeral arrangements for Wu King Xiao Ce when he suddenly heard the report from his subordinates. He was a little surprised and said: "Why is that so? His Highness the Wu King has managed the land of Wuzhou very conscientiously over the years. The people of Wuzhou can live and work in peace and contentment. The development has far exceeded before and it has become the prosperous capital of Shu."
"Why is it that as soon as the Witch King dies, he will take back the title of the Witch King and change his title to the King of the Western Jin Dynasty?"
At the very least, the Witch King is still an heir.
As for the king of the Western Jin Dynasty, if you add one word, the nature of the king's title changes, and it becomes an ordinary king's title.
Then wouldn’t it be that all his plans over the years were in vain?
"This edict was issued after it was confirmed that Xiao Ce was dead. At the same time, the princes of Kang Wang and Jin Wang were also withdrawn, leaving the princes of Qi Wang and Ning Wang." The subordinate said: "I heard someone say It seems that the Prince of the Supervisory State wants to entrust all the royal fiefdoms outside the Daqian territory in the future, to Japan, Vietnam, Shendu, Tianzhu, Dashi and other places."
"Lord, when I came back, I saw the supervisory censor and the Jin Yiwei coming from Chang'an. The people leading the team were Wen Tianxiang and Shen Lian..."
After hearing this, Sima Yi frowned, his eyes showed a fierce light, and there was a hint of fear, "How long will it take for them to arrive?"
The subordinate replied: "I paid to rent a carriage and drove back day and night. At their speed, it is estimated that there will be three days."
Sima Yi said in a deep voice: "Three days? So fast?"
He had just reported the report of Xiao Ce's death, and the prince of the supervisory state quickly sent the supervisory censor and the Jin Yiwei to Wuzhou.
At this speed, could it be said that he has noticed something?
The mysterious death of Yu Shiji that year made Sima Yi wary.
In fact, after arriving in Wuzhou, he had been thinking of ways to avoid the imperial court's spies, and he had also secretly investigated whether there were any imperial spies around him.
Over the years, one or two have been investigated.
However, Yu Shiji's mysterious death made him feel that things were not as simple as he thought.
There must be spies in Wuzhou who are supervising the crown prince. There may also be secret agents hidden around him and the Witch King.
However, after many years of investigation and suspicion of many people, we could not find out in the end.
Xiao Ce's temper was getting more and more irritable, and he was already a little out of control, and he couldn't stand such a moody Xiao Ce, so he could only take action in advance.
Otherwise, Xiao Ce would be upset and flip the table over.
The Sima family will definitely be in danger.
Thinking about this, Sima Yi made up his mind to ignore the schedule and investigation of the supervisory censor and Jin Yiwei for the time being.
Because he has laid out a plan and is waiting for the other party to come to investigate.
…
"What? His Highness the Witch King was poisoned to death?"
"Sima Yi is so courageous. He dared to carry out such a vicious attack and harm the royal family. He really deserves death."
Wen Tianxiang pondered: "Sima Yi was recommended by the traitor Li Linfu when His Highness the Witch King came to Wuzhou back then, and asked Sima Yi and Yu Shiji to follow His Highness the Witch King to Wuzhou to assist His Highness the Wu King in governing Wuzhou."
"I didn't expect that this person would dare to poison and kill His Highness the Witch King."
"Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness King Yan have a close brotherly relationship, and Prince Ning and Prince Qi are also known as virtuous kings."
"Otherwise, the world will definitely say that the death of the Witch King was..."
I understand everything that follows.
Shen Lian naturally understood that someone would definitely spread the word and pin the death of the Witch King on the crown prince's head.
After all, the incident between the Witch King and His Highness the Crown Prince had already been spread.
It is inevitable that the world will not be guided by this kind of public opinion.
Common people like to hear rumors about the royal family the most.
However, the two of them knew that there was no need for the Crown Prince to do this.
If it's really revenge.
He had already taken action.
Won't wait until this time.
When they received the spies from Jin Yiwei and reported some basic information about Wuzhou in recent years, as well as what Sima Yi and Xiao Ce had done, they would understand.
Why did the Crown Prince let the two of them come to Wuzhou?
Even if a person like Sima Yi had merit in governing Wuzhou, he could not commit such a murderous act.
Someone outside the car announced: "Wen Yushi, Shen Qianhu, Wuzhou has arrived."
Wen Tianxiang looked at Shen Lian and gestured: "Let's go."
This matter can be big or small.
Xiao Ce died an unexpected death. This is the son of His Majesty. He is the second prince of Daqian and the younger brother of the prince of the prison country.
But he died in the hands of his own people.
Being poisoned.
It can be said that the impact is still relatively large.
Not only must we find out the truth and let the world see it, but we must also find ways to minimize the impact.
That is to say, the people will recognize that Sima Yi did this and not other rumors.
Peony garden.
"Wen Yushi, Shen Qianhu, please."
"Sima Changshi, you know very well what we are going to do here."
"I understand and will cooperate fully..."
"Well, there is no need to say more. We are just doing it as a matter of routine. Just bury His Highness the Witch King in peace."
Sima Yi couldn't help but hesitated and said: "Here."
The autumn rain in Wuzhou comes a little early.
Wen Tianxiang and Shen Lian are investigating all Sima Yi's relationships in Wuzhou, the capital and other places.
This cancer must be rooted out completely at once.
"puff."
Cold arrows shot out in the rain.
someone exclaimed.
"There's an assassin!"
"Array up!"
"Catch the assassin...!"
Outside the post house.
Many men in black rushed out.
The assassin jumped into the courtyard wall.
"Bang!"
"puff!"
Shen Lian stood at the gate with a gun in his hand.
He knew very well that there had not been such a major case for several years. It was really audacious to assassinate the Supervisory Censor and the Imperial Guard Qianhu in Wuzhou City.
However, he began to appreciate Sima Yi somewhat. At the very least, this man was really courageous.
However, he still underestimated the current Jin Yiwei and the current Da Gan.
assassin?
You can't even get through the gate of this post house!
…
"Where are we going? It's raining so hard."
"I don't know, we have to leave now."
Sima Yi didn't want to leave and shouted: "I won't leave. The world is so big now and there are so many Daqian people everywhere, how can we escape."
"Father, maybe it's Japan, maybe it's further west, I don't know, the world is so big, there is always somewhere to go."
"As long as you escape, change your identity and hide your name, it's better than dying here!"
Sima Yi sighed and said, "Son, we can't escape..."
The carriage ran very fast and went straight out of the city.
"boom!"
With the sound of firecrackers, someone fell under the horse.
"Jinyiwei! It's Jinyiwei!"
Sima's family was shocked.
He is usually ruthless, but when he met Jin Yiwei, he was still panicking.
"Run!"
"boom!"
"Sima Yi, why don't you arrest me?!"
Soon, the Witch King case was made public.
Thirty-seven officials were convicted as a result.
It can be said that this is the biggest case in the 32nd year of Zhenyuan, and it is also the case with the most officials beheaded in public in recent years.
It can be said that it was a sensation.
But it was quickly forgotten by the people.
After all, there are too many big news in Daqian today.
There is almost a headline every few days.
In such a big case as the Witch King case, it seems that the emperor's son was poisoned to death, but the Witch King Xiao Ce has lost his reputation in recent years. Even in Wuzhou, after there are still people who know the true situation, some Indignant.
Seriously, God's law is clear and retribution is not good.
The Witch King who poisoned and killed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finally died in the poisoning.
