The capital, the Interior Government Ning Prison.

Qi Yuan was standing in the prison looking out of the bars.

Suddenly, there was a sound of the chain opening, so that Qi Yuanzheng had to shift his gaze to the cell.

The cell door was opened, and Qi Yuanzheng saw the person coming, and said unexpectedly politely: "It turned out to be the prince." ”

"A slave can't be so polite as the prince of Zhenguo."

It was Wang Zhi who came, and he was not flattered by Qi Yuanzheng's politeness, but opened his relationship with Qi Yuanzheng.

"My father-in-law is here, but he has the emperor's order?"

Qi Yuanzheng is not stupid, since Xiao Yu has strictly ordered anyone not to visit, although the Internal Affairs Mansion is Wang Zhi's territory, if there is no Xiao Yu's will, Wang Zhi will not go to this troubled water.

Wang Zhi smiled and motioned to the person behind him to bring a tray, on which there was a wine jug and a wine glass.

"Zhen Guogong, please!"

Wang Zhi poured the wine into the cup and handed it to Qi Yuan Zhengdao.

Qi Yuanzheng took the wine glass, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed lightly, and then said, "The best green ant, it's a pity, it's a pity." ”

Then Qi Yuanzheng poured the whole glass of wine on the ground in front of Wang Zhi, and the small space was full of the aroma of wine.

The rats in the cell were accustomed to be bold, and they followed the smell of wine, and did not care that there were still people, so they came forward around them, but for a moment they could no longer move.

Qi Yuanzheng saw the dead rat and sneered: "Such a good wine, but it is cheaper than the rats!" ”

Wang Zhi saw that Qi Yuanzheng was pouring the wine from the imperial gift on the ground, and he didn't stop it, now the wine glass was empty, Wang Zhi took the wine glass from Qi Yuanzheng's hand and poured the wine full again.

"Your Majesty knows that Zhenguo Gong has a large amount, so he gave him more wine, which is enough for Zhenguo Gong to go on the road."

Wang Zhi 'persuaded wine'.

When Qi Yuanzheng heard this, he knew that Xiao Yu's determination to kill him was extreme.

"Princess, don't you care about our love for serving the same lord back then?!"

Qi Yuanzheng questioned Wang Zhidao sharply.

"Zhenguo Gong, there is a way that the king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die! It is precisely because of the love of the past that I came to see you off in person! ”

Wang Zhizi said sonorously.

Qi Yuanzheng was stunned when he heard this, he knew that Wang Zhineng had already given him enough face to say so much to him, but he was still unwilling to die in the Ning Prison of the Internal Affairs Mansion.

"Dali Temple has not convicted me yet! With just a letter and a token, the emperor is going to give me death?! Isn't he afraid of the criticism of the world?! ”

Qi Yuanzheng's eyes were red, and he dared to say such a thing.

Wang Zhi sighed and said, "Zhenguo Gong, have you forgotten that Nie Shangshu was also given to death because of a letter?" ”

Qi Yuanzheng was dumbfounded when he heard this, Nie Shangshu, of course he remembered that the military department was still in the book at that time.

At that time, Qi Yuanzheng was only a general, so he naturally had a lot of dealings with the military department. And Nie Shangshu is a rare decency in officialdom.

Not greedy, not party, not selfish.

This is Qi Yuanzheng's impression of Nie Shangshu.

Even he never thought that such a person would suddenly be involved in the prince's crime of rebellion and treason!

Almost at the same time as receiving the news that Nie Shangshu was in prison, Qi Yuanzheng also received the news that the Nie family was beheaded.

This is the thunderous means of the emperor!

Could it be that he is going to be the second Nie Shangshu today?

Wang Zhi saw that Qi Yuanzheng was silent, and knew that he had listened to his words, and took this opportunity, Wang Zhi said again: "Back then, Nie Shangshu was all over the house, and now His Majesty only wants your life, Zhenguo Gong, why be obsessed?" ”

When Qi Yuanzheng heard this, he suddenly laughed and said, "I'm afraid he doesn't want to copy the Qi family, but he can't copy it, right?" ”

Wang Zhiyan frowned when he heard this.

Qi Yuanzheng continued: "My wife is the daughter of the King of Beiqing, and even when the first emperor was in power, he called her cousin!" Count it up, Xiao Yu still has to call me uncle! ”

"Zhen Guogong, you have overpassed! The name of the Holy One, how can you call it directly?! ”

Wang Zhi reminded with a cold face.

Qi Yuanzheng was like a crazy demon, ignoring Wang Zhi's reminder, and continued to talk to himself: "Back then, the Nie family, I remember that Xiao Yu personally supervised the beheading!" Why didn't Xiao Yu dare to come now that he was here? ”

Wang Zhi secretly blamed himself at this time, he shouldn't have remembered the old love and saved some face for Qi Yuanzheng, at this time Qi Yuanzheng couldn't listen to persuasion!

Without saying a word, Wang Zhi stretched out his hand to restrain Qi Yuanzheng and forcibly poured a cup of poisonous wine into Qi Yuanzheng's mouth.

Qi Yuanzheng, who was originally a military general, should not have been restrained by Wang Zhi so easily, but Wang Zhi was unexpected, which caught Qi Yuanzheng off guard, and this time his negligence in prevention ended Qi Yuanzheng's life forever.

"I thought you really missed the old love......"

Qi Yuan was speaking the last sentence to Wang Zhi, and then he lost his breath.

Wang Zhi put Qi Yuanzheng's body away with a cold face, and then ordered his subordinates to come and tidy up the appearance of Zhenguo Gong.

Then, he went to Xiao Yu with a heavy heart.

Wang Zhi knew in his heart that Xiao Yu could have asked Xu Lin to do the matter of giving Qi Yuanzheng death, but now handing it over to him was just a test.

Who made him the same as Qi Yuanzheng, who was the former minister of the first emperor? If it weren't for the fact that he was the only person around the first emperor who leaned on Xiao Yu, I am afraid that now he would be the same as those who were loyal to the first emperor on the surface, but in fact loyal to Xiao Che, and Xiao Yu used various reasons to accompany the first emperor to the funeral.

But despite this, Wang Zhi did not regret choosing Xiao Yu between Xiao Yu and Xiao Che at all.

As for the love with Qi Yuanzheng, it is nothing more than the experience of sharing hardships and life and death with Qi Yuanzheng several times when he was on a personal expedition with the first emperor in those years.

Today's Qi Yuanzheng is no longer the hot-blooded general he was back then, but a powerful minister with a desire for power.

After Xiao Yu received the news that Qi Yuan was dying, the big stone in his heart for many years was put down.

After Wang Zhi retreated, Xiao Yu summoned Xu Lin again and asked, "What did Wang Zhi say to Qi Yuanzheng?" ”

Since it was a test for Wang Zhi, Xiao Yu naturally arranged for someone to keep an eye on it, in order to be afraid that Wang Zhi would do something about the fighting with Qi Yuanzheng back then.

Xu Lin recounted the conversation between Wang Zhi and Qi Yuanzheng to Xiao Yu one by one, and when he heard that Wang Zhi had talked to Qi Yuanzheng about the Nie family, Xiao Yu's brows furrowed.

Back then, the affairs of the Nie family were taboos that Xiao Yu had never dared to let Nie Yan know, but now that Wang Zhi and Qi Yuanzheng mentioned it, Xiao Yu felt inexplicably irritable.

Then I thought that these people now, including Wang Zhi, should not be able to recognize Nie Yan as the young lady of the Nie family back then, and no one would associate the daughter of a criminal minister with Princess Nanzhan.

Except for Xiao Yu himself, who was very impressed by Nie Yan back then!

But despite this, Xiao Yu still instructed Xu Lindao: "This matter is not suitable for the public, those people have been dealt with." ”

Xu Lin thought that Xiao Yu was promoting the taboo of giving Qi Yuanzheng to death, so he naturally had no objection, and immediately went to implement it.
