However, Qiu Yizhi actually laughed louder than him: "Hahahaha, what kind of lonely person are you, I think you are a lone husband and a thief!" ”

Zheng Yao has never been scolded like this in front of him since he was a child, and after becoming the emperor, no one dared to say half a "no" in front of him. However, today, he, the emperor, was actually scolded in front of Qiu Yizhi, who had no merit on his body, but he couldn't help him at all, and his whole face was so angry that his whole face turned red.

Qiu Yizhi didn't seem to see Zheng Yao's expression, and he was charged one by one: "Let me ask you: How did Emperor Daxing die?" Although Wang Zhonghai is treacherous but also loyal, how did he die? Where is your brother, His Royal Highness, the eldest son of the Emperor? It was your order to capture my father-in-law and his old man in the first place? Persuaded the good division to do evil in the capital, who instigated it? Replace Marshal Dai Luanxiang from the front of the battle, and who is the mastermind who intends to harm him? ”

None of the things and things that Qiu Yizhi said in his mouth could be explained by Zheng Yao openly, and he was really speechless.

I only heard Qiu Yizhi continue: "I still say this: And that clear-minded person, who is really willing to recognize you, the only husband, as the son of heaven? This question, you might as well go out of this imperial city, to the capital Luoyang, to Heluo, to the Great Han Putian to ask! ”

Qiu Yizhi's series of questions finally broke Zheng Yao's last psychological defense, he was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "You go and invite King Youyan to come over, I want to talk to him." ”

This sentence was uttered by Zheng Yao for the third time today, but this time he said it weakly, not as domineering as the previous two times.

Qiu Yizhi looked a little impatient, and shouted: "I have already replied to you about this." My stepfather still has important things to do, and I have nothing to say to you! ”

As soon as the words fell, Qiu Yizhi felt that Fang Cai's tone was indeed too blunt, that is, he had never shouted so much when dealing with those peddlers and pawns on weekdays - and this was just to hide his inner timidity about forcing the emperor to death.

Thinking of this, the muscles on Qiu Yizhi's face couldn't help but twitch unnaturally, and said, "However, I have a few words in my heart that I want to tell you, I don't know if I can enter this Taixing Hall to talk?" ”

Zheng Yao had already succumbed to Qiu Yizhi for three points, and hurriedly said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Now that the temple is empty, I am just talking to you. ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded when he heard this, and was just about to step forward, but Wei Chi Lianghong on the side grabbed him and whispered: "The truth and reality in this Taixing Hall are unknown, I'm afraid you can't enter lightly." If the virtuous brother insists on wanting to go in, why not be accompanied by the foolish brother? ”

Qiu Yizhi knew that what he was going to do next was the world's most confidential and important thing, the world's first thing that could not be seen, and the world's first thing that ignited the fire.

So Qiu Yizhi didn't speak, shook his head and refused, but turned his head to Zheng Sen and said, "I wonder if the second brother can accompany me?" ”

Although Zheng Sen was known for his courage and fearlessness, as soon as he stepped into the imperial city, the courage in his body seemed to be drained, and he was groggy and didn't know what to do. He suddenly heard Qiu Yizhi's call, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly agreed, then turned over and dismounted, and followed Qiu Yizhi towards Taixing Palace.

The hall was extremely empty and gloomy, and countless emperors' ceremonial guards were placed on the ground made of white marble, but now no one was tidying up, which looked messy, and they lost their original majesty and solemnity.

"I ...... I want to give up the throne to King Youyan and make him his emperor rightfully......" As soon as he entered the palace, Zheng Yao couldn't wait to say.

Seeing that Zheng Yao put down the emperor's shelf, Qiu Yi opened his mouth to beg for mercy, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I have said this before. You don't have the right throne, and you don't have the qualifications to go to Zen! What's more, my father-in-law and his old man are destined by heaven and the will of the people, and there is no need for you to pretend to be Zen! ”

"This ...... This...... I just want to be a prince of peace in the capital, and I don't want any more power...... Don't be free, think about it behind closed doors, and don't ask about the world? Zheng Yao said almost pleadingly.

Seeing his appearance, Qiu Yizhi couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart, but said ruthlessly: "My Han law is strict. Just your sin of killing the king and killing your brother is unforgivable. Why do you still think that you can get out of the whole body? I ask you, if my father-in-law falls into your hands, will he have a good death? ”

Zheng Yao was stunned by Qiu Yizhi's rhetoric, and stayed for a long time before he said again: "My sin is unforgivable, and I really shouldn't have illusions." Why don't you become a monk, the ancient Buddha of the green lantern, chant the scriptures day and night to pray for the blessing of the prince of Youyan, but the remnants of his life, okay? ”

"Alas!" Qiu Yizhi sighed, "With your identity, what small temple in the world can accommodate you, the great Bodhisattva?" ”

"Could it be, is there only one way for me to die now?" As for that, Zheng Yao finally squeezed out the word "death" from between his teeth.

Qiu Yizhi finally nodded in agreement: "This is just the point." There is no place for you in this world. Why don't you just die, not only to leave dignity for the Zheng family's royal family, but also for yourself, which can be described as a great good! ”

Now, Zheng Yao finally realizes the preciousness of life.

He also wanted to say something begging for mercy and begging, so as to impress the young man in front of him and let himself live. But his tongue had stiffened, his brain had become dull, and he could no longer speak half a word.

He peeked at a sword at his waist, imagining that he would kill everyone with great might, return to the people, and regain the throne a few years later. But his hands were trembling, his legs were weak, and he was barely able to stand.

He raised his eyes again and glanced at the closed main gate of the Taixing Palace, hoping that Zheng Rong would be able to push the door in at this time, and spare his life for the sake of his uncle and nephew. But it was Zheng Yao himself who wanted to put Zheng Rong to death at the beginning, how can he pin his last hope on him now?

Zheng Yao's eyes were dark, and the sun hanging in the sky seemed to be extinguished in an instant, and the space up and down, left and right, front and back turned into endless and deep darkness, pressing on him, pressing himself out of breath.

Qiu Yizhi, who was at eye level with Zheng Yao, had never been so close to observing the last days of a mortal person, let alone the Emperor of the Ninety-Five Supreme. He really has the heart to let Zheng Yao go, maybe he can ask his brother Chi Lianghong to make a move, turn him into a waste, begging on the street or throwing him into prison for the rest of his life - although this is not much happier than dying happily.

However, Qiu Yizhi really didn't dare to do this, if he acted against Zheng Rong's wishes in this matter, he was afraid that Zheng Yao's fate would fall on him in the same way.

So Qiu Yizhi finally made up his mind and said, "It's not too early, please ...... No...... Please make a decision as soon as possible! Gritting his teeth, he said, "If Your Majesty still needs me to wait...... Sharp blades, white silk, and wine...... It's all very easy to find, and you won't disappoint Your Majesty......"

After saying this, Qiu Yizhi seemed to have exhausted all the strength of his body, and layers of cold sweat couldn't help but break out on his forehead, and the whole person staggered as if he had collapsed and ran quickly outside the Taixing Palace.

He pushed open the door of the temple with his own hands, and let the sun shine unscrupulously on him, and only then did he come back to his senses slightly.

But when he heard Zheng Yao behind him, he suddenly let out a heart-stopping laugh. He laughed so violently, so wildly, so weirdly, as if the laughter did not come from the throat of Zheng Yao, who was already sitting on the dragon chair, but from the depths of hell.

Frightened, Qiu Yizhi and Zheng Sen hurriedly closed the gate of Taixing Hall with one hand, and even walked down the steps with rolling belts, already sweating and panting.

He was shocked for a moment, but he heard Zhao Chengxiao beside him exclaim: "Look, the hall is on fire!" ”

When Qiu Yizhi heard this, he immediately looked back, and saw a burst of smoke coming out of the hall, and in a blink of an eye, thick smoke rose into the air, and the open flames under the smoke were also clearly discerning.

Qiu Yi's ears heard the "crackling" sound of the temple structure being destroyed by the fire and high temperature, and finally breathed a sigh of relief—that Zheng Yao was still a little backbone, and his death by self-immolation could be regarded as a vigorous death—so he hurriedly ordered the soldiers under his command Youyan to immediately surround the Taixing Palace, and not let even a fly enter or leave it.

He turned back to Zhao Chengxiao and said, "You go back to the prince, and say that the big thing has been decided!" ”

Zhao Chengxiao also knew that the matter was serious, so he immediately got on his horse and galloped out of the imperial city as soon as he agreed.

Zhao Chengxiao only left for a while, and a large group of people came from the rear, and the first person was dressed in a red robe and gold armor, and sure enough, it was Zheng Rong, the king of Youyan.

I saw Zheng Rong rushing forward in a panic, rolling from the saddle and falling to the ground, shouting hoarsely and not knowing what to say, and standing up to run up the stone steps.

Zhong Li Kuang, who was behind him, also hurriedly ran a few steps, grabbed Zheng Rong's sleeve, and kept persuading: "The prince is self-respecting!" The prince is self-respecting! Water and fire are ruthless, if the prince has three longs and two shorts, what should I do if I wait for my subordinates? ”

Although Zheng Rong was a pampered vassal king, he was also a general who charged on the battlefield, but he was dragged to the ground by Zhong Likuang, a powerless scholar, and couldn't move.

Qiu Yizhi is such a person who is good at observing words and feelings, and at first sight, he knew that this scene was just a double reed performed by Zheng Rong and Zhong Likuang for the world to see.

Thinking of this, Qiu Yizhi also hurried up, supported Zheng Rong and said, "Please take care of your father-in-law!" Please take care of your father-in-law! ”

Zheng Rong glanced at Qiu Yi, pursed his lips and nodded, with an appreciative look in his eyes, but he deliberately said loudly: "Although Zheng Yao is perverse, he is also my Zheng family's nephew, how can he be unable to save himself?" How can loneliness be seen and not saved? As he spoke, there were a few tears in his eyes.

Zhong Likuang on the side persuaded again: "This is Zheng Yao's forgiveness of sins, and it is also the will of heaven. Please also ask the prince to act in accordance with the sky, don't live up to my big man's heart! ”

Zheng Rong listened to Zhong Likuang's painless words, and immediately returned to normal, got up slowly, wiped the tears that seemed to be absent with his sleeve, and said to Qiu Yizhi and the others: "I don't want to see this tragic scene, so I will withdraw from the capital Luoyang." You are waiting for the lonely to guard here, not a single grass or tree in the imperial city can be moved lightly, and as for the palace and royal family, you can't harass, you know? ”

Qiu Yizhi nodded hurriedly, knelt down and said, "I know, please rest assured!" ”

By the time he raised his head, Zheng Rong had already straddled his horse and left.

Qiu Yizhi carefully recalled Zheng Rong's style, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, silently watching the fire burn bigger and bigger, and gradually extinguished, and finally couldn't stay for a moment, and took Zheng Sen and Cui Nan to take a leave, and took Yu Chi Lianghong, Zhao Chengxiao and eighteen thieves and hurriedly left the capital Luoyang.
