Chapter 342 Prince Qiji's Acting Skills
And if it would seriously damage morale like this, even if it was true, it shouldn't be shouted out with such fanfare.

But it seemed that he rushed over immediately, wanting to see who was yelling there.

But seeing that it turned out that it was a few people dressed in official clothes shouting there, and when those people saw that they were coming, they immediately lowered their heads and rushed away.

But Wanwan couldn't help being furious when he saw this, it was obvious that this "rumor" must have come from the palace.

Just in case, he hurried to the outside of the palace immediately.But seeing that all the people in the palace were running out in panic at this moment, they seemed to see it, and felt even more disturbed.

At this moment, it was suddenly discovered that there were two dead bodies outside the palace gate.But Wan Wan took a closer look, one staggered and almost didn't fall down, the two corpses were not outsiders, it was Prince Lu and Young Master who fought against the enemy!

Soon, the news of the death of Prince Lu and Young Master Qidi spread throughout the entire Yingdu, and there were even some "Wang Masters" who opened the city gates directly to welcome Prince Qiji.

And Wang Ziqiji was not polite, and directly waved his troops, surrounded by Wang Zibi, and directly entered the city of Yingdu.

In this way, Prince Bizai Yingdu was directly established as the new King of Chu, while his younger brother Prince Heiji directly became Ling Yin, and Dou Chengran became Zuo Yin.

Prince Qiji himself proclaimed himself the Great Sima, controlling all the military affairs of Chu State.

There was a sudden change in the city of Yingdu, and there was chaos in an instant. Prince Qiji immediately ordered to arrest the remnants of King Xiongwei of Chu everywhere.

Of course, all of this was done in the name of the new king of Chu, Xiongbi.

And Xiong Bi only knew that he had become the king of Chu as a matter of course, but after all he had no experience in this matter, let alone what was going on in the country.

In the final analysis, he is just a puppet of Prince Qiji right now, so he can only resign himself to everything that Prince Qiji decides.

And this is exactly what the prince Qiji hoped for.Using the name of the new King of Chu, Xiongbi, to eradicate dissidents on a large scale, so as to remove all obstacles for himself in the future.

Undoubtedly, as the best friend who dethroned Wang Xiongwei, Que Wan was tied directly in front of Xiong Bi.

But Wan Wan just stared at Xiong Bi, and after scoffing at him, he looked away directly.

Seeing that this person despised him so much, Xiongbi couldn't help being furious:
"Bold! Since the widow has become the new king, and as a minister of Chu, why don't you come to see the widow?!"

"Hmph! Since ancient times, the position of king has been occupied by virtuous people. You are just a rebellious person, and you have no achievements in the state of Chu. How can you have such a great position! You wait while the king is out. During the attack, I did such a rebellious thing, and even killed innocent people, and murdered the two young masters! But I am a minister of Chu, so how can I pay homage to rebellious ministers and thieves?!"

Hearing the words, Prince Heiji was also furious and said:

"Hmph! You say we are all plotting against you?! Then how did Xiongwei get into the position? How can you allow you to talk nonsense here! Someone, pull this person down and behead him to show the public! As an example to others!"

At this moment, only one person shouted loudly outside the hall:

"My Majesty, thousands of people gathered outside the gate of the palace, and when they learned that he had been kidnapped into the palace, they all knelt down and begged for his life to be spared!"

Hearing the words, Prince Qiji frowned involuntarily and remained silent.In fact, he really wanted to use Xiong Bi's hand to quickly get rid of this loyal king.

Unexpectedly, this Quewan has been running Yingdu for nearly ten years, managing Yingdu in an orderly manner, and the entire Yingdu can be said to never pick up lost items on the road and never close its doors at night.His criminal rewards and punishments are also just and clear, so he is deeply loved by the people in the city.

When Xiongbi heard this, he was furious:
"It's the other way around! I'm new to Yingdu, and I'm going to be threatened by these unruly people?! Kill! Whoever dares to make another mistake outside the palace will be punished with the same crime as Que Wan!"

When the prince Qiji heard the words, he couldn't help but turn pale with fright. After all, the prince was with him no matter what he said now.If he messes around like this and makes Yingdu lose his mind, what good fruit will he have then?
So, he immediately came out and said:
"Your Majesty, the people of the country cannot be killed! Could it be that your Majesty has forgotten about King Zhou Li?"

As soon as Xiongbi heard it, he was immediately discouraged:

"Oh? Why...why can't you kill him?"

"This person's family name is Wan, but he has been in Yingdu for a long time. This person is deeply loved by the people of Yingdu. If the king wants to buy people's hearts, he cannot kill this person!"

How could Xiong Bi dare to defy Wang Ziji's words:
"Since Brother Ji said so, then... save his life!"

But at this moment, Wan Wan still doesn't appreciate it:

"Hmph! I'm just a cheap life! If you can't keep the capital, and you have failed your superiors, you will die if you die! What's the point? You don't need to wait here to pretend!"

Prince Qiji didn't look angry, he just stepped forward to hold Quewan, and said in a low voice:
"Sir, don't worry, Qiji has something to say to adults later!"

But Wan looked at Wang Ziji, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, and was stunned for a while, Wang Ziji waved lightly, and he was carried out by the soldiers.

As for Prince Qiji, after attending the court meeting, he hurried over to Que Wan's side immediately.

But Wan was locked in a room at this time, and the decoration in the room was quite elegant.Apparently, he was not convicted of offending King Xiongbi of Chu with his words, but was just placed under house arrest.

But Wan saw the prince Qiji coming, but he still looked rebellious, and snorted coldly:

"Hmph! But what else can I say?"

Prince Qiji heaved a long sigh:

"Master Quewan, although you and I didn't have much friendship before, you must know the relationship between Qiji and my brother!"

It's because Quewan has basically guarded the rear with Prince Lu all these years, unlike Prince Qiji or Wu Ju, who often accompany the King of Chu.Therefore, for these wolfish ambitions of his, but Wan really didn't notice the slightest bit.

And out of habitual thinking, what he saw was that Chu Wang Xiongwei had always trusted his younger brother.Otherwise, how could Prince Qiji be named Cai Gong?
Therefore, upon hearing the words, I couldn't help but hesitate for a moment:

"Since this is the case, why does the fourth prince still act like this?"

"Hey...Your Excellency, I don't know that Qiji's trip was forced by my uncle. My uncle colluded with Cai Guoyu's party and made a sudden attack. Qiji did it as a last resort. If Qiji didn't follow, I'm afraid he would have suffered by now He was harmed by the rebellious party. And when Qiji came here, he had to deal with it carefully. He thought he would be able to protect the integrity of the young masters, but unexpectedly..."

The prince gave up his words, and wiped away a few tears in hypocrisy:

"Prince Lu and Young Master strike the enemy...they are all brother Wang's beloved sons!"

However, seeing Prince Qiji crying so sadly, he couldn't help but also burst into tears.

"Fourth prince, in this case, why don't you avenge your brother Wang, go to welcome the return of King Chu, set things right, and set the court in order?"

Prince Qiji heard the words, but shook his head again:

"How can it be so easy, what Qiji can do now is to leave the capital for the time being and go out to find opportunities, but right now there is an extremely difficult thing! After all, Qiji can't rest assured..."

"Oh? What's the trouble?"

While wiping away his tears, Prince Qiji continued:
"If Qiji leaves the capital, then my uncle will definitely do whatever he wants. At that time, there will be countless people in the capital who will be massacred. Although my uncle is well-known, he is ignorant of political affairs and lacks the virtue of modesty. Surely it will not be so peaceful! What should I do?"

"Hey, what can I do if a villain succeeds?"

"So what Qiji means is that my lord must show some intention of submitting, and that Qiji will try my best to keep my lord's Yingdu as ruler. If my lord can continue to be in charge of Yingdu at that time, wouldn't it be a blessing for the people of the country ?”

"Your Excellency is inside, Qiji is outside, or one day, you can welcome the return of the King of Chu!"

When Quewan heard these words, she couldn't help but think carefully for a while, and then bowed deeply to Prince Qiji:
"The fourth prince endured humiliation so hard, it's really admirable! But he must try his best, and if he loses everything, he should apologise with death!"

When Wang Ziqi saw Quewan took the bait, the corner of his mouth couldn't help evoking an imperceptible smile. In fact, there were two reasons why he wanted to keep Quewan.

For one thing, he can use his reputation among the people of the country to stabilize the hearts of the people of the country.

The second is that he wants to make another plan for himself to usurp the throne in the future.As long as he can design to get rid of Xiongbi, then the throne is within his reach.And at that time, he will naturally need to win the hearts of the people to further stabilize his power.

But it is just here that it works!
