Resurrection of the Mystery: Starting from the Clone of the Stone-born Monkey

2nd Year of Daigen, Kyoto, February

cool breeze, hazy night

A convoy slowly drove out of the mansion and headed towards the street.

The size of the motorcade is quite magnificent, with thousands of entourages, guards of honor and guards. In the center of the team, the four-horse carriage covered with black sedan chairs and soap is particularly prominent.

However, at this time, the whole capital is like a giant beast dormant in the dark, and the accompanying people are all silent, only the wheels sparkling and the horses neighing, appearing lonely.

However, as time passed, the sky gradually became clearer, and the capital became more popular.

The first ones are all the officials of the imperial court, wearing long crowns on their heads and carrying jade plates in their hands, gathering on the imperial road, and going to the early court in a mighty manner.

But outside the palace, although it was early spring, it was a little cold, but they couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the people, they went out of the house one after another, and peddlers peddled along the street.

The streets of the capital also became lively.

When the dawn breaks, the city is full of pearls, households are full of Luoqi, and the voices of people are full of people, which is very impressive.

Since 3 years ago, King Xuan defeated the trilogy of King Wu in Jumu, and King Wu insisted that he was the "No. 1 Martial God" in the world, not willing to be humiliated. And die, die in battle.

King Wu was defeated, and then King Xuan established the Dingding Central Plains, and then proclaimed himself emperor, the Daxuan Dynasty was established, and Vientiane was renewed.

This is a nascent empire, from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, exudes a vigor, and the spirit of all things competing.

Teams of soldiers armed with swords and spears patrol the streets and alleys of the capital. Their stern faces are like swords shining with cold light, guarding against any criminals who dare to commit crimes in the market.

This empire is very young, and there are many potential hidden dangers.

A battle-tested veteran patrols the streets with his colleagues to ensure law and order.

Suddenly there was some restless sound from the crowd, and the veteran noticed that his eyes moved, and what caught his eye was a large flag embroidered with the word "Yue" embroidered with flying dragons and phoenixes.

"King Yue." The veteran's pupils shrank slightly.

This is one of the seven kings with different surnames canonized by the emperor.

Before the establishment of Daxuan, it was King Xuan who united other princes and King Wu to fight for hegemony in the world.

Until the defeat of King Wu, Emperor Xuan was grateful for the hard work of the seven princes, who made great contributions in the process of defeating King Wu, sealed the throne, and sealed the country.

This "King of Yue" is one of the seven kings.

Seeing the scale of this team of horses and horses traveling, the veteran suddenly remembered the rumors of recent days:

"The old king of Yue was suffering from injuries and illnesses. Unfortunately, he passed away two months ago. Now he needs the son in the capital to return to Yue to succeed him."

Thinking of this, the veteran stared.

It can be seen that in the convoy of the King of Yue, the people spontaneously retreated to both sides of the road. However, the expressions of these people in the capital were indifferent, but because of their status as the King of Yue, they lowered their heads and did not choose to look directly.

The place where the King of Yue motorcade passed seemed to have been pressed the pause button, and all the bustling noises on the street disappeared, as if the prosperity of the capital did not belong to the King of Yue.

Feeling the subtle atmosphere, the veteran's heart sank for no reason.

It seems that after defeating King Wu, Daxuan became estranged from these princes and kings who once fought side by side.

The old soldier didn't quite understand the reason. After all, he was just a soldier from the grassroots. He hadn't read any books, so he could recognize his name.

"Go, go and take care of one or two, don't let anyone who doesn't have good eyes collide with King Yue's frame."

There was a voice in his ear, and it was the captain calling him to act.

The veteran looked serious, and then went to watch the King of Yue with his superiors.

The people and soldiers lined up on both sides of the road, silently waiting for the King of Yue to leave.

Suddenly, a person got off the moving carriage.

This person was originally sitting on the right side of the frame of King Yue.

Carriage usually takes three people

The driver stands in the middle, driving the carriage, while the dignified man, the king of Yue, sits on the left.

As for the seat on the right, only the cronies of the king of Yue or personal guards can take it.

The person who gets out of the car is the person sitting on the right.

The man was wearing a waist knife with a black shark skin sheath, restrained and dull, but a knowledgeable person could tell at a glance that this treasured knife was very valuable.

This is a middle-aged man with sharp-edged face and piercing eyes, but his frosty temple hair and wrinkles around his eyes indicate that he is no longer young.

However, his posture was as straight as a slack, and his strong clothes were bulging with muscles.

The middle-aged man walked like flying. After jumping off the carriage, he came to both sides of the street in two steps.

The soldiers standing on both sides of the street felt a strong breath rushing towards their faces when they saw the man approaching.

"This man is a master of martial arts, I am far behind him!" The soldier swallowed secretly.

Seeing the man approaching, the soldier subconsciously clenched the weapon standing in his hand, bit the bullet, and secretly nervous.

But who would have thought that the middle-aged man looked a little embarrassed, and the first thing he said was:

"Young master said, if you leave the capital, you won't be able to eat these market delicacies."

The soldier was taken aback for a moment, then turned his head to look, and found that behind him was a scallion pancake and a puff pastry roast duck stall.

These are indeed two well-known food stalls in the well of Beijing.

The soldier grimaced, then gave way to the man.

Only then did the middle-aged man take out copper coins from his pocket, and went to the roadside vendors to purchase market snacks.

When the man returned to the frame, his left and right hands were already carrying bags.

When seeing the movement of the king on the left side of the frame, the soldier slightly lowered his eyelids, shifted his gaze, and dared not look directly.

It's not that you can't see the majesty of the king, but the king

"Hey, give it to me. If you leave the capital, you won't be able to eat such a crispy duck."

On the left side of the carriage frame, there is a sixteen-year-old boy, wearing an e-crown belt, embroidered with silk, decorated with sun, moon, stars, flowers, birds, fish and insects, which is extremely luxurious.

But his figure is a little thin, it seems that he can't support this luxurious and spacious robe, but the young man's appearance is very good, his face is as white as a bright moon, his nose is high, his lips are bright, his eyes are like ink paintings, and he is full of energy. Nobility is compelling, that can be regarded as the appearance of a troubled man.

But this son's bright black eyes were staring closely at the food bought by his guards.

This is the successor of the current King of Yue, Prince Wang Ge.

Everyone could see that the heir of King Yue begged for food the moment his personal guard got on the car.

The middle-aged man with gray temples said helplessly:

"My lord, pay attention to your manners."

He is Prince Wang Ge's personal bodyguard, named Yan Fei. Since Prince Wang Ge was nine years old, he has personally guarded Prince Wang Ge's life, but he is said to be the most trusted person of Prince Wang Ge.

"What's the matter with manners? Just give it to me first."

Prince Wang Ge pursed his lips, as if he couldn't wait any longer. The duck with crispy skin is only crispy when it comes out of the pan, and the meat is juicy and elastic.

It will take a long time, the puff pastry will be soft, the duck meat will be old, and the juice will be cold, the flavor will be greatly reduced!

The corner of Yan Fei's mouth twitched, after all, he couldn't do anything to his master, and let the food in his hand be snatched away.

Young Master Wang Ge is such a sincere heart, free and easy, everyone is used to it.

Compared with the shocking words that the young master said a month ago, it's nothing more than taking some food to make a fool of himself.

Yan Fei couldn't help recalling what happened a month ago

That day, Emperor Xuan summoned Wang Ge and said that he was the king of Yue. According to the inheritance system, Wang Ge should return to Yue to inherit the throne.

But who knows what the young master Wang Ge said?

"Happy here, don't think about it."

How can there be such an heir?

Although everyone knows that Yuedi is located in southern Xinjiang, and a large area of ​​territory is uncivilized and wild, far less prosperous than the north and the capital.

But this sentence should not be said by you, the heir to the King of Yue!

Absurd, absurd, absolutely absurd.

All of a sudden, Prince Wang's song became a private conversation of the entire Daxuan Dynasty's princes, princes and nobles, and even historians wanted to record this shocking words in the history books for future generations to entertain.

This is good, it has become a joke of the Daxuan court.

However, others laugh at me for being too crazy, and I laugh at others for not being able to see through.

Wang Ge expressed grievance in his heart: "I am a time traveler, is it easy for me?"

Watching the vehicle gradually drive out of the gate of the capital.

Wang Ge called out in his heart:

"slate."

The next moment, only Wang Ge could see the translucent gray wide stone slab appeared.

The surface of the slate is mottled and vicissitudes, giving people an unusually old feeling.

However, Wang Ge could only summon the phantom of the slate, but could not do anything to it.

"Since I traveled to this world, this phantom of the stone slab has been with me. I thought it was the golden finger of the traverser, but I didn't expect that it has not been many years, and the slate has not responded at all, even though I am now. After getting out of house arrest and leaving the capital, it still hasn’t moved at all, how can I use this stone slab?”

Wang Ge sighed quietly, his thoughts moved slightly, and the phantom on the stone slab disappeared, and he couldn't help recalling his experience since time travel.

In his previous life, he was an ordinary person in Lan Xing's hometown. In this life, he just opened his eyes and became a croaking baby, the third son of King Yue.

Of course, at that time, the King of Yue hadn't been conferred the title of King of Yue, he was just a prince who supported his troops and respected himself.

According to the eldest son inheritance system in this world, it stands to reason that the title of king of Yue should not fall to the third son of Wang Ge.

But three years ago, this world was still in a state of war between princes and kings, and the situation was quite chaotic.

Wang Ge's two elder brothers died one after another in this troubled world, so the inheritance right fell on Wang Ge.

However, this title is not so easy to inherit.

The so-called general is away, and the king's order is not accepted. When King Yue turned to King Xuan because he couldn't beat King Wu, he left his only son, Wang Ge, as a hostage in the capital.

What is a proton?

It is to put one's heir under house arrest in the capital as a hostage, and put it under the eyes of the monarch. This is a bargaining chip for cooperation between the two parties.

Wang Ge was left in the capital by his cheap father!

It can be said that since he was nine years old, he has basically stayed in the capital without going out, and his every move has been secretly monitored by King Xuan's secret agents!

"It is said that the most ruthless emperor's family, once something rises to the level of power, any blood relatives have to give way."

As soon as he traveled to this world, Wang Ge deeply understood this truth.

When he was still young, he spent most of his time thinking about how to activate the ability of the slate, and the rest of the time he was praying that his cheap father must not get so hot-headed and engage in rebellion, otherwise he, a proton, will die. Save!

Fortunately, his cheap father is still upright, King Xuan maintains the alliance and fights King Wu together.

At the moment when the Daxuan Dynasty was established, the knife hanging around Wang Ge's neck was finally removed.

But new problems appeared again.

Wang Ge's cheap father was crowned king and became one of the seven kings with different surnames in the Daxuan Dynasty.

It stands to reason that cracking the earth to seal the king is already the greatest achievement in life. As the successor of King Yue, Wang Ge should be happy.

He didn't do anything, and he was able to become king by relying on his own blood. This is no longer winning at the starting line, but lying directly at the finish line.

But the question is, under the inertia of a unified dynasty and the need for centralization, which emperor would not want to have a higher level of power?

And also beware of whether the king with a different surname will rebel?

Even if the king with a different surname will not rebel this time, what about the next one?

Next time?

What if the emperor's successor is too useless to keep the country and is taken away by a king with a different surname?

Wang Ge is a time traveler. He didn't have any great achievements before time travel. He was just self-sufficient and had no worries about food and clothing. He was an ordinary person who was content and happy.

However, due to the long history of Wang Ge Lanxing's hometown, the compulsory education is in place, the cultural atmosphere is strong, and the information dissemination is developed.

Wang Ge has never eaten pork, haven't he seen a pig running?

In the end, he came to a conclusion that in order to establish a unified dynasty, the power of kings with different surnames would inevitably be gradually weakened, and even the princes themselves would be eradicated by the emperor.

Even if this world has an extraordinary force that can be defeated by a single person, this result is still unavoidable!

This is fatal!

From Wang Ge's point of view, the title of King Yue is likely to be a reminder to stick to his forehead.

"Cutting down the clan will definitely cut down the clan, it's a matter of time!"

This is Wang Ge's judgment.

As a proton when he was a child, the slate that was suspected of being a gold finger could not play a role. Wang Ge lived every day trembling like walking on thin ice. Now at the age of sixteen, Wang Ge is still worried about the imperial court cutting down the feudal clan.

The power struggle is the cruelest, and if you are not careful, it will be Jiuzu Xiaoxiaole.

"Although the slate is useless, fortunately, compared to the other six kings with different surnames, as the king of Yue, I pose the least threat to the court."

The so-called as long as I am useless, others will look down on me.

Wang Ge found that compared with the other six kings with different surnames, the young King Yue had the most desolate land, the smallest population, and was located in the southernmost place, far away from the center.

Although it has the specifications of a prince, it is still not as good as other princes.

As for him, the king of Yue, because he lived a proton life since he was a child, he didn't have many opportunities to cultivate his own power team, he had the lowest control over the fiefdom, and his reputation was very poor.

And the other six kings with different surnames are all heroes who have come out of the blood and fire vassal hegemony. The pass, or the main road of communication, occupies the land of the Central Plains.

So compared to the other six powerful feudal lords, Wang Ge is simply a harmless little sheep.

This is also the reason why Wang Ge guessed that Emperor Xuan was willing to let him go back to the fiefdom. On the one hand, he, the young King Yue, was too weak to make waves.

On the other hand, it also expresses its position to the other six kings with different surnames, and the Daxuan court guarantees the power and status of the vassal king.

Otherwise, once the old Yue king died, the court would keep the heir of the Yue king under house arrest and take back the land of the Yue king. What would other kings with different surnames think when they saw it?

The six kings with different surnames are all cunning and calculating people, they don't need any evidence, as long as they see something wrong, they will immediately act like hedgehogs, hiding their soft and weak points, and exposing their sharp thorns.

This is not conducive to the subsequent reduction of the imperial court.

Driven by various factors, Wang Ge, who had been under house arrest for several years, was finally about to leave the capital and return to Yuedi to inherit the throne.

The sky is high and the birds are flying, and the sea is wide with the pride of the fish leaping, but Wang Ge is also cautious, for fear of being jealous by the court, so much so that he said the words that shocked the court and the public to Emperor Xuan a month ago:

"Happy here, don't think about it"

In the eyes of others, your father, Yue Wang Rongma, worked hard all his life to build a foundation, but was denied by your heir with a single sentence?

But the more this was the case, the more Emperor Xuan felt at ease with Wang Ge, and he worked hard to persuade Wang Ge persuasively.

It is said that the vassal king is the barrier of the empire, and the world is initially determined. There must be a vassal king like Wang Ge, stationed in the pass, to appease the people.

He also said that Wang Ge is not young anymore, he should not be greedy for luxury, but should take up the responsibilities of his parents, guard the frontier, and stabilize the country and society.

Emperor Xuan persuaded him so much, what else can Wang Ge do?

It can only be the title of the King of Yue who is reluctant to accept it.

Of course, Wang Ge also talked back and forth, saying that Yuedi is too desolate, there are many uncivilized places, and he will live a bad life when he goes back.

Emperor Xuan said that it was easy to handle, and sent carpenters, blacksmiths, farmers, and other technical personnel to Yuedi to guide production development.

You see, my Daxuan court will never treat any meritorious officials badly!

In short, I want Wang Ge to return to Yue to inherit the fiefdom, for fear that he will stay in the capital all the time, and other vassal kings will think that the court is going to put King Yue under house arrest and plan to cut down the vassal.

Only by guaranteeing the power of Wang Ge, the king of Yue, other kings with different surnames will feel at ease, relax their guard and trust the court.

You can only gain if you give up. It is said that if you can't give up children, you can't catch wolves.

Ever since, Wang Ge led thousands of people, guarding the road, and drove out of the capital.

At the last moment of leaving, Wang Ge turned his head and looked back at the capital, thinking to himself:

"Farewell, Prison"
