July 24 is an ordinary day for many people, but for Cui Chengxiu, the former secretary of the military department and the crown prince, his life has come to an end. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Just the next day, after Cui Chengxiu heard that Wang Zhizheng had killed Hou Qi and Wu Chunfude successively, he knew that his life had come to an end.

Cui Chengxiu, as usual, washed and dressed neatly, but did not go to court.

Mrs. Yu asked puzzledly, "Why don't you go to court today?"

Cui Chengxiu looked at his knotted wife gently and smiled: "Guilian, we have lived together for more than 20 years?"

Yu Shi thought for a while: "It has been twenty-four years since the concubine passed the door at the age of seventeen. ”

Cui Chengxiu nodded: "It's been twenty-four years, all industries are twenty-two years old, after so many years, you gave birth to two daughters and a son for me, and it's not easy to raise them to adulthood!"

Yu Shi saw that Cui Chengxiu's performance today was very abnormal, and he had an ominous premonition: "My lord, you, what's wrong with you?"

Cui Chengxiu smiled relaxedly: "No, me, I just suddenly feel that time flies so fast, this life is about to end so soon......"

When Yu Shi heard this, he cried: "My lord, don't scare me, no, what's wrong with you?"

Yu saw the Cui family with his own eyes, Cui Ningxiu was beheaded, Cui Zhiye was beheaded, Liao Chuanxian was Ling Chi, the eldest sister died of grief, and her brother-in-law was exiled for thousands of miles.

Cui Chengxiu suddenly smiled: "I, I did something yesterday, and I guess there will be a big disaster today, but I have already thought about it, I want to learn from the fifth child (Cui Ningxiu) and Zhiye, one person died, and the whole family was saved, Baiye is only twenty-four years old, and the grandchildren are still young, I don't want to harm my family!"

Yu Shi cried and said, "But how do you know that you are dead and you can save your family?"

Cui Chengxiu thought for a while: "You don't know Wang Zhizheng, Wang Zhizheng is different from Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian likes to cut grass and eradicate roots, and although Wang Zhizheng has more intrigues and tricks, he is generally a kind person, he hates me, not my family, if I die, I think he will let my family go." ”

Yu Shi cried and said, "No, you are dead, what is the meaning of my life?"

Cui Chengxiu waved his hand and reprimanded: "You are stupid! I still have my parents in the hall, the old father and mother are over seventy years old, the eldest is not angry, the third and fourth died early, and the fifth was beheaded again, if you don't provide for the second old for me, who will care?"

Yu was grief-stricken: "No, no, I won't let you go, let's escape!"

Cui Chengxiu laughed: "Where are we fleeing from the net? Have you forgotten how Li Kuilong died?"

Yu Shi was completely out of ideas: "Can you not die?"

Cui Chengxiu took out a packet of arsenic: "As soon as I tilt my neck, I will be relieved, for me now, it is better to die than to live"

Yu was finally persuaded by Cui Chengxiu, and her eyes were red from crying: "Master, if you want to die, I won't stop you, after you die, where will we go?"

Cui Chengxiu didn't think twice: "Immediately take your parents and children away from Jingshi, I will stay behind six million taels of silver, enough for you to spend a few lifetimes, Jiangnan is okay, Henan can also be, in short, buying land and buying real estate is not a problem!"

Speaking of which. Cui Chengxiu was a little proud.

So he took the arsenic and asked, "My lord, are you ready for arsenic?"

Cui Chengxiu shook his head: "This is what I prepared before, now I don't need it, I want to wait for Wang Zhizheng, I believe that Wang Zhizheng will definitely come back to see me off, I want him to personally promise to let my family go!"

Cui Chengxiu guessed very right, at that time, Wang Zhizheng was sitting with Empress Zhang in Cining Palace, Wang Zhizheng held the edict and said to Zhang Yan solemnly: "Cui Chengxiu, the emperor wants to stay, it is nothing more than to restrain Wei Zhongxian, and now Wei Zhongxian is just a wine bag and rice bag that has been elevated, what else can he restrict!"

Zhang Yan looked embarrassed: "But, but Banzai has explained to me, Cui Chengxiu will leave it to King Xin to deal with!"

Wang Zhizheng stared at Zhang Yan impatiently and grabbed her hand and dragged it over: "Niangniang, the emperor is dying, and you still have to abide by the rules in order to maintain his trust, do you have to wait for Cui Chengxiu to kill me before you are willing!"

When Zhang Yan heard this, she immediately cried angrily: "My lord, how can you talk like this! It's been so long, when have I not been defending you everywhere?!"

Zhang Yan and Wang Zhizheng have been in love for so long, it is the first time they quarreled, Zhang Yan cried all of a sudden, Wang Zhizheng felt pity for the jade, and his tone softened: "Niangniang, do you have to tell you what happened last night?"

Zhang Yan saw that Wang Zhizheng's tone of voice was softened, so she pretended to be angry: "What's the matter? I don't want to listen!"

Wang Zhizheng was not in the mood to flirt with Zhang Yan, he told Zhang Yan about last night's incident, he didn't want to mention it, once he mentioned it, his heart was like a knife, this time he told Zhang Yan about it, Wang Zhizheng's heart ached in a cold sweat.

When Zhang Yan heard this, she was suddenly shocked: "You ...... You killed Hou Qi?"

Wang Zhizheng nodded, and the blue tendons on his forehead burst out: "As soon as my eyes are closed, it is the scene where Hou Qi's head is on the ground, smiling and staring at me! If I don't do it again, aren't you afraid that the next person to be killed by him will be Huang Zongxi, Wang Liangfu, or my Wang Zhizheng?!"

Zhang Yan complained after hearing this: "Then why didn't you say it earlier?!"

Then he took the holy decree from Wang Zhizheng's hand, carefully took out the jade seal of the country from the jade box, and stamped it with a bright red seal.

Wang Zhizheng took the edict and rolled it up, and knelt down at Zhang Yan's feet with a robe and feet: "Thank you!"

Then stood up and left, Zhang Yan stepped forward and hugged Wang Zhizheng from behind: "My lord, let's not quarrel in the future, I will listen to you for everything?"

Wang Zhizheng patted Zhang Yan's slender jade hand, then turned around and strode away.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Wang Zhizheng took Huang Zongxi and Zhou Cheng to Cui Chengxiu's house.

Cui Chengxiu had a very fulfilling day, parting with his wife Yu's life and death, serving decoction to his parents, thanking him for the grace of nurturing, and then giving his concubines affection and love, and then giving his son a long talk on his knees, holding his two grandsons and playing.

Unconsciously, when evening came, Cui Chengxiu took everyone away and locked himself in the study.

At this time, the study remembered the knock on the door, and Cui Chengxiu lazily asked, "Who is it?"

"Master Cui, it's me!" sounded at the door the voice that Wang Zhi was listening to.

Cui Chengxiu shook his head and smiled: "It's finally here, I've been waiting for you for a day!"

Wang Zhizheng pushed open the door and saw Cui Chengxiu sitting in front of the tea table, drinking his favorite dry cang Pu'er.

Cui Chengxiu saw Zhou Cheng holding a jar of wine, while Huang Zongxi was holding a wine jug and wine glass.

Cui Chengxiu asked with a smile: "Lord Wang, if my guess is correct, you are going to send me on my way today, right?"

"That's right. Wang Zhizheng smiled faintly, and then waved his hand, Zhou Cheng put the wine jar on the table, and Huang Zongxi set the wine jug and wine glass.

Wang Zhizheng smiled and took out the holy decree from his arms and handed it to Cui Chengxiu: "Uncle Cui, I don't want to miss it, you can read it." ”

Cui Chengxiu waved his hand: "Hehehe, what are you looking at, don't you look at it, isn't it just a suicide?" The jade seal is in the hands of the queen, the queen is yours, you don't write whatever you want, what is the difference between you and the emperor?"
