When he arrived at the Zhenfu Division, Wang Zhizheng got out of the carriage, and Yang Huan and Liangfu escorted Wang Zhizheng into the gate of the Zhenfu Division. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Entering the door, Wang Zhizheng said to Ryosuke, "You lead the way." ”

Ryosuke led the way in front and guided Wang Zhizheng to the study where Cui Chengxiu was under house arrest.

As soon as the door of the study opened, Wang Zhizheng saw Cui Chengxiu sitting on the Taishi chair with his hair scattered, squinting and his face was pale. Wu Jue next to him stood by the window with his hands behind his back. Seeing Wang Zhizheng walk in, Cui Chengxiu opened his eyes and said coldly and sarcastically: "Commander Wang didn't come to send me on the road, right?"

Wang Zhizheng arched his hand to Cui Chengxiu, and then instructed Liangfu and Yang Huan: "You two go and get busy, I have something to talk to Cui Taibao." ”

The two obediently retreated, and by the way, the door was closed, Wang Zhizheng walked up to Cui Chengxiu, pulled a chair and sat down, and looked at Wu Jue, who was speechless: "Master Wu, otherwise you will avoid it?"

Cui Chengxiu said coldly: "No need, Wu Jue is my subordinate, there is nothing I can't hear." ”

Wang Zhizheng nodded, then poured a full cup of tea for Cui Chengxiu and handed it to Cui Chengxiu, who didn't accept the tea and ignored Wang Zhizheng.

Wang Zhizheng saw that Cui Chengxiu didn't accept the tea, so he gently put the tea cup on the table again, and said softly to Cui Chengxiu: "Master Cui, you came today, not for anything else, you killed my Praetorian Guard, I want to come to reason with you, but after all, you are my mentor, and I can't be too much to you, so don't show any guilt to me." ”

Cui Chengxiu listened, raised his eyes to look at Wang Zhizheng, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Wang, I originally thought that you were dealing with Wei Zhongxian and actually helping me, but later I found out that you are still closer to Wei Zhongxian, I really can't see through your true thoughts, think about it, and can't figure it out, but today, I suddenly found out that whether it is Wei Zhongxian or I, Cui Chengxiu, I finally made you a pot of porridge, you are the one who has the last laugh, and your ambition is probably no less than Cao Cao and Wang Mang." ”

Wang Zhizheng listened to Cui Chengxiu's sarcasm, and said lukewarmly: "Lord Cui, please don't spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain." I, Wang Zhizheng, have never had ambitions, and I don't want to do anything, I am still just a commander of the Praetorian Guard, I am only responsible to the emperor, the reason why I prefer to be nine thousand years old, it is because nine thousand years old is loyal and commendable, following nine thousand years old is not the same as following the emperor, and you, Lord Cui, are fighting at nine thousand years old everywhere, and the ambition is obvious, of course the emperor can't tolerate you, do you think our emperor is Emperor Han Xian?"

Cui Chengxiu listened, and suddenly laughed out loud, laughing so that Wu Jue's scalp next to him was numb, but Wang Zhizheng was not embarrassed, watching Cui Chengxiu laugh wildly, and when Cui Chengxiu had a good laugh, Wang Zhizheng couldn't help but ask dissatisfiedly: "What is Lord Cui laughing at?"

Cui Chengxiu smiled: "Lord Wang, what's wrong with me laughing at this state of the world?" Some people, made a bitch, and want to set up a chastity archway, you Lord Wang is such a person, if you don't have ambition, why do you use me to draw salary from Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian's people were almost hit by me, and you hurriedly cleaned me up to maintain balance, but you don't know that you have cultivated a large number of cronies and henchmen, Yang Huan has taken refuge in you, Wang Zhiyi, Wang Liangfu, Jiang Nai, the entire Praetorian Guard is firmly grasped by you, and now Shen Shaoxian, Chen Yangmei of Dali Temple, Zhenfu Division, which one is not your henchman, even Huang Liji, the first assistant of the cabinet, is afraid that he is submissive to you？”

Wang Zhizheng sighed, picked up the fragrant Biluochun and poured himself a drink, and said leisurely: "I have said many times, our emperor is a wise monarch, only blame you for not seeing through it, treating him as Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, if my Wang Zhi is a big careerist as you said, I'm afraid you don't need to do it, Banzai Ye will clean me up as soon as possible, but why don't Banzai clean me up? It's because I'm loyal and reliable, and I can use me to suppress careerists like you!"

Cui Chengxiu waved his hand: "That's it, that's it, it's the king and the loser, so far, people are swords, I am fish and meat, it's useless to say anything, I know, the words have been spoken, you won't let me go, you killed my brother Ning Xiu, arrested me and Wu Jue, I'm afraid Liangfu, Yang Huan and they will arrest Shen Cong and Zhang Yingmin tomorrow, right?"

Wang Zhizheng waved his hand: "Lord Cui, you think too much, who is arrested by the Zhenfu Division, it has nothing to do with me, what I care about is that you killed my Praetorian Guard brother, this matter is equivalent to complicity, do you know?"

Cui Chengxiu nodded: "Yes." ”

Wang Zhizheng asked again: "So Liangfu has a law to follow and a basis to follow when he is under house arrest, do you know?"

Cui Chengxiu nodded again: "I know." ”

Wang Zhizheng continued to press step by step: "If the emperor blames him, the rebellion will be Ling Chi and the nine clans, do you know?"

The muscles on Cui Chengxiu's face, who was strong in his heart, twitched: "I killed him because they killed my brother!"

Wang Zhizheng waved his hand: "No, not to mention the evil things your brother Cui Ningxiu did, there is ironclad evidence for everything, even if it is really a wrongful killing, there is a Ming law to punish Liangfu, Yang Huan, but your killing of the Praetorian Guards is unshirkable, understand?"

Cui Chengxiu suddenly had nothing to say, and secretly regretted the impulse just now: "I...... I didn't know that the guards I killed were the Praetorian Guards, I thought they were miscellaneous servants of the Pacification Division......"

Wang Zhizheng laughed and said: "Lord Cui, you can't tell the difference between the Praetorian Guards and the miscellaneous servants?

Cold sweat gradually broke out on Cui Chengxiu's forehead: "Even so, as the crown prince and Taibao, riding a horse in the Forbidden City, I should also have the emperor's extrajudicial grace." ”

Wang Zhizheng waved his hand: "It's a pity, the emperor has a big opinion of you now, otherwise he would not have ordered the Zhenfu Division to arrest your younger brother, you were already avoiding suspicion, your brother broke the law, you should not avoid relatives, do not plead, the emperor may forgive you, but look at your performance, rushed into the Zhenfu Division, and violently slashed the Praetorian Guards in the Zhenfu Division, do you think, whose emperors in all dynasties can tolerate such behavior? Cao Mengde was not so arrogant back then, right? Do you still expect extrajudicial mercy?"

As soon as the words fell, Cui Chengxiu only felt an invisible sense of fear filling his heart, and only felt a chill down his spine: "That...... And you, what can you do?"

"That's right!" Wang Zhizheng smiled, "Jieling is still Xu Lingren, this matter should be seen backwards, if you rebel, the emperor will punish you of the nine clans, if you don't rebel, won't it be fine? And if this matter is suppressed, won't you not rebel? The Praetorian Guard is my son, so I can suppress this matter, Lord Cui, are you confused?"

Cui Chengxiu put down his lofty posture, and his tone softened a lot: "Lord Wang, I don't know if you want to help me, you can do it." ”

Wang Zhizheng smiled, holding the teacup and playing with the floating tea: "I'll do it, hehehe, Master Cui, if I don't want to save you, I don't need to come at all, I just need to wait at home, you won't be out for ten days, you will kneel in the Xicai Market and be punished Ling Chi, Cui Mansion is up and down, including your fourth brother Cui Ningxiu's family, your eldest brother Cui Enxiu, and your third brother Cui Fuxiu, all four of you will be beheaded by raiders, am I right?"

Cui Chengxiu nodded: "Yes." ”

Wang Zhizheng nodded and then said confidently: "So since I am here today, it is for the sake of your Cui clan, this matter, I can cover it, and I plan to cover it." ”

Cui Chengxiu reacted quickly, he knew that there was no free lunch in the world: "What about the conditions?"

Wang Zhizheng smiled: "The conditions are very simple, you only need to call yourself sick at home and resign from the Ministry of War." ”

Cui Chengxiu asked in surprise, "No?"

Wang Zhizheng smiled and nodded.

Cui Chengxiu then asked: "Are you going to serve as the next secretary of the military department?"

Wang Zhizheng waved his hand and pointed at Wu Jue: "It's still your people." ”

Wu Jue pretended to be surprised and asked, "What do you mean, Grand Commander? If you want to clean me up, you can just come directly, why do you bend around?"

Wang Zhizheng waved his hand, smiled confidently and said, "He is the secretary of the military department, and Liangfu and Jiang Nai are the left and right attendants, is it okay?"

Cui Chengxiu realized that he was letting his people stand up for Wu Jue, and he laughed loudly: "You might as well directly let Liangfu be the secretary of the military department, or you will be the concurrently servant." ”

Wang Zhizheng waved his hand: "Lord Cui, you just need to call yourself sick and resign from the Ministry of War, and I guarantee that you will be reinstated within two months." ”

Cui Chengxiu sighed helplessly: "If you protect me, aren't you afraid that I will hold a grudge against you and threaten you?"

Wang Zhi said straightforwardly: "First, I saved you, and if you want to take revenge on me, then I will not show mercy to you next time;

At this point, Cui Chengxiu really had nothing to say, he nodded and said weakly: "Okay, I promise you." ”

Wang Zhizheng won, Cui Chengxiu was completely defeated, he looked at Wang Zhizheng with a smug face: "Can you leave some affection for those people under me?"

Wang Zhizheng smiled bitterly and said: "Master Cui, how many times have I told you, the Zhenfu Division is different from the Praetorian Guard, I am the commander of the Praetorian Guard, I have the final say, the Zhenfu Division is directly appointed by the emperor to govern Liangfu, and it has nothing to do with me, so don't embarrass me." ”

Cui Chengxiu saw that Wang Zhizheng was speaking rigorously, and he was always unwilling to admit that he had done something to him, so he had to sigh: "Okay, since the Great Commander is unwilling to help, then I won't ask you." Thank you for today's events. Let me take my brother's body back. ”

Wang Zhizheng opened the door, let Ryosuke in, and said to Ryosuke, "Ryosuke, Master Cui has something to tell you." ”

Ryosuke clenched his fists and said, "What do you command?"

Cui Chengxiu's face was pale: "Please also ask the commander to let me take my brother's body back to my hometown for burial." ”

Ryosuke nodded: "After the case is closed, report it to Your Majesty, and Ryosuke will definitely send someone to dress it in a coffin and send back the body of Lord Cui Ningxiu." ”

Chinese pay attention to the dead, and although Cui Ningxiu is a criminal, after all, he has already been punished, so Ryosuke has no intention of embarrassing a dead person again.

Wang Zhizheng said to Liangfu: "Liangfu, I have arranged the matter of Lord Cui, you can let Lord Cui go home." ”

Ryosuke nodded and stretched out his hand: "Lord Cui, please, my subordinates will not be far away." ”

Cui Chengxiu didn't say hello, turned around and left, suddenly turned around and smiled at Wang Zhizheng: "You catch me a handle, I catch you a handle, I don't have a handle to worry about you, I believe you will keep your promise." ”

Wang Zhizheng smiled and said: "I don't have any handle to be afraid of you saying it, since I help you, of course I won't take any bullshit to worry about you, you can go." ”
