Cui Zhihe knelt on the ground, his composed-calm face couldn't help twitching slightly at the moment, and beads of sweat the size of a bean on his forehead smashed down his cheeks.

There was already a pillar of incense when he came back from outside the city, but Chu Xizhi, the king of Yan who was sitting on the rosewood chair, didn't say a word, just casually fiddled with the tea cup, and didn't even look at him.

"Lord ......"

"Does Master Choi know what is the crime of instigating the victims to make trouble and embezzling the food provided by the DPRK and China for disaster relief?" Chu Xizhi glanced at Cui Zhihe with slanted eyes, and the lid of the cup in his hand was closed heavily, making a crisp sound.

Cui Zhihe shook, "Lord Wang......"

"Look at Lord Cui's expression, is there anything hidden in this?" Chu Xizhi hooked the corners of his lips, and his slender eyes looked at Cui Zhihe with an uncertain expression.

Cui Zhihe was stunned.

Catch? Can he tell Chu Xizhi that this matter was actually secretly instructed by the emperor? This is a secret purpose, and since it is a secret purpose, it is not known to others.

Thinking of this, Cui Zhihe seemed to have been poured a basin of ice water on his head, and the whole person was cold.

At this point, no matter how much he tried to justify it, it was useless.

It seems that he can only ......

"It seems that Lord Cui is not ready to tell the truth to this king." Chu Xizhi smiled, and the index finger resting on the table inadvertently tapped the table.

Bang.

Bang.

Bang.

A dull sound was like a heavy knock on the chest.

"Lord Wang." Cui Zhihe took a deep breath, raised his eyes and looked at Chu Xi, who tried his best to keep his composure, and said to him, "Regarding this matter, the lower officials will ask the emperor for guilt." ”

"Please? In the eyes of the king, there is no need. Chu Xizhi got up and glanced at Cui Zhihe contemptuously.

Cui Zhihe sighed in his heart, "What does the prince mean by this?" ”

Chu Xizhi hooked the corners of his lips, "Isn't the meaning of this king obvious enough?" You have privately withheld the disaster relief food first, and instigated the victims to make trouble later, which is clearly an intention to rebel! This is a great sin of the Nine Clans! Not only Lord Cui, but I'm afraid that the family members of Cui's Mansion can't escape a 'dead word'. ”

"The prince really wants to kill them all like this!" Cui Zhihe stared at Chu Xizhi with his eyes.

"Isn't it that Lord Cui thinks that he can still get out of the way if he does this thing that will lose his conscience? That is, this matter is in front of my father, but I am afraid that my father will not be able to protect you! Chu Xizhi sneered.

Cui Zhihe gritted his teeth.

Chu Xizhi, he really wants to drive him to a dead end! Not only him, but also his wife, children and family! In that case, then don't blame him!

"Someone!" Chu regretted suddenly raising his voice.

"Lord Wang." Outside the door, four or five government soldiers walked in, and they all saluted Chu Xizhi.

"Cui Zhihe, the prefect of Suyang, privately withheld the disaster relief grain money and provoked the victims to make trouble, and there is no king's law! The king ordered that Cui's mansion be raided immediately, and Cui Zhihe and his family members were all put in prison and immediately beheaded at noon tomorrow! ”

There was silence in the room.

No one moved.

"Hahaha...... Does the prince think this is in the Yan Palace? Cui Zhihe smiled and picked up the corner of his robe and stood up calmly.

Chu Xizhi's eyes sank, "Cui Zhihe, do you want to rebel?" ”

"Rebellion? Don't wronged the lower officials, the lower officials are cowardly and can't stand your fear. Cui Zhihe stroked his beard and smiled, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.

At this time, a man dressed as a soldier walked in and whispered a few words in Cui Zhihe's ear.

"Good! Good! Good! Hearing the words of the soldiers, Cui Zhihe stroked his beard and said hello three times. He raised his hand and waved away the government soldier, and then leisurely met Chu Xizhi's gaze, "It is said that His Royal Highness King Yan has no last resort, but I didn't expect it to be planted on Cui today, what a pity!" ”

Unfortunately, the panic he imagined did not materialize.

Inexplicably, Cui Zhihe was a little annoyed, "Doesn't His Royal Highness King Yan want to know what's going on outside now?" ”

Chu Xizhi hooked the corners of his lips, turned around and sat back on the chair from the emptiness, and raised his hand to pour a cup of tea for himself and took a leisurely sip. Seeing Cui Zhihe's angry face, he couldn't help but smile and raised the teacup in his hand towards Cui Zhihe, "Why didn't Master Cui continue?" ”

"Does His Royal Highness King Yan still want to make a show at this time?" Cui Zhihe, who was holding back the anger in his chest, sneered coldly.

He didn't believe that at this time, Chu Xizhi would not know his situation.

"Actually, this king asked, does Master Cui know what kind of situation he is in now?" Chu Xizhi raised his eyebrows and asked rhetorically.

His eyes were full of playfulness, as if he were a mouse being teased under his paws.

A surge of anger rushed out of the humiliation.

"It seems that His Royal Highness King Yan doesn't know his situation yet!" Cui Zhihe laughed sarcastically a few times, and then his face changed, "You few! Don't invite His Royal Highness King Yan to the prison yet! Presumably, His Royal Highness King Yan doesn't know what it's like to be in prison! Cui Zhihe stared at Chu Xizhi with open eyes and gritted his teeth.

No one in the room moved.

Chu Xizhi, who was sitting on the rosewood chair, didn't even raise his eyebrows.

Cui Zhihe's face changed, and he suddenly turned his face to look at the cronies in the room, "Are you deaf?" Don't hurry up yet! Money three! ”

Qian San, who was named, raised his head and glanced at Cui Zhihe, then lowered his head.

"You...... You ......" Seeing that none of the cronies made a move, Cui Zhihe's face couldn't help but take two steps back, and his face suddenly changed greatly.

Chu Xizhi, who drank the last sip of tea, played with the teacup in his hand, and his leisurely voice slowly sounded, "Now it seems that Master Cui should not know his situation." ”

"What's going on! What the hell is going on! Money three! Cui Zhihe stepped forward and grabbed Qian San's arm, staring at him with dead eyes.

"My lord, we ...... Our people have been contained. Qian San lowered his head and said in a low voice.

Even his wife and children were captured by King Yan.

"What!" Cui Zhihe was shocked, as if he had been hit hard from the top of his head, his steps staggered for a while, and finally fell weakly on the chair behind him.

How can it be? How is that possible?

"Is Master Cui surprised by this result?" Chu Xizhi looked at Cui Zhi with sideways eyes and smiled, "Actually, from the moment this king stepped into Suyang City, all your actions were expected by this king. The reason why this king waited until this time to attack was just to delay the time and wait for my people to enter the city in disguise. ”

"I want to face the saint! I want to face the saint! Cui Zhihe gritted his teeth and tried his best to look at Chu Xidao.

"Face saint? Do you think he'll save you? A cold smile crept up on his lips. Chu Xizhi stretched out his hand and waved everyone back, got up and raised his legs and walked in front of Cui Zhihe step by step, "As an emperor, he instructed officials to withhold food money privately and impose the crime of poor disaster relief on his son, you say, will he admit such a secret thing?" ”

After listening to Chu Xizhi's words, Cui Zhihe's pupils were suddenly full of horror, and looking at Chu Xizhi's gaze was like seeing a ghost.

He knew, he knew it all......

"I know that you don't want to ask for a life for yourself." Catching a glimpse of Cui Zhihe's expression, Chu Xizhi smiled, turned around and sat back on the chair. Now that the matter has been revealed, even if Chu Xizhi does not kill him, the one in the Chongde Hall will not let him go, and he strives to face the saint, but he wants to save the lives of the family. "Actually, have you ever thought that this king might be able to do what you want?"

As if falling into the mire, he could only watch himself sink into the darkness and despair when someone suddenly threw a rope, although he knew that this rope might be an illusion, but he couldn't help but reach out and want to grab it.

No one wants to die.

"What does the prince want to do?" Cui Zhihe stood up reluctantly and stroked the corners of his dry mouth vigorously.

Since Chu Xizhi had already controlled Suyang, there was no need to spare his life, but he was here to watch him perform a dog jumping over the wall here, just that he might still have some place to use him.

"Master Cui is really a smart person." Chu Xizhi pursed his lips and smiled, "In the future, everything in Suyang City will still be decided by Master Cui." ”

"Forgive the official for being stupid,......" Cui Zhihe looked at Chu Xi hesitantly.

After today's events, he no longer dares to underestimate His Royal Highness King Yan in front of him, in terms of scheming and means, this King Yan is only afraid that he is the most outstanding among several princes, but he is afraid that even King Shen is not as good as him.

"Master Cui doesn't have to do anything, everything is fine as usual." Chu Xizhi hooked his lips and smiled.

Cui Zhihe bit his lip and did not speak.

Seeing that Cui Zhihe didn't answer, Chu Xizhi stretched out his hand and turned the jade wrench on his finger, "I heard that when Ling Gongzi was born prematurely, the doctor asserted that he couldn't live, but who would have thought that the world would change, who would have thought that the little boy who was asserted that he couldn't live would look so tiger-headed and lovely." ”

"Lord Wang......" As soon as he heard Chu Xizhi mention his son, Cui Zhihe's legs softened, and he knelt down with a 'plop', "Lord Wang, the child is innocent!" ”

"Childish innocent! What a childish innocent! Have you ever thought that this king is not the son of that person! Chu Xizhi raised his eyes to look out of the house, and a grim smile flashed across his lips.

He seemed to have given him half a lifetime of honor, but he also put him on top of the fire oil pot, and what was even more ridiculous was that all this was a scam from beginning to end, all to clear the way for Chu Yanzhi to ascend to the throne, and even when he was dying, he did not forget to issue an order to accuse him of rebellion, so that Chu Yanzhi could get rid of him justifiably.

"Master Cui only has two choices." Chu Xizhi lowered his eyes and looked at Cui Zhihe, there was no smile on his face, and his deep pupils were cold and scary at the moment, "Either you and more than a hundred people from the Cui Mansion are all pushed outside the city gate and beheaded, or, according to what this king said." ”

Cui Zhihe raised his eyes and looked at Chu Xi tremblingly, and finally leaned down, "The lower official is willing to obey the prince's dispatch." ”

"I hope Lord Cui said this sincerely." Chu Xizhi looked at Cui Zhihe and sneered, then flicked his long sleeves, raised his legs and strode out.

Outside, the sun was still scorching, and even the occasional wind was sweltering.

Summer is coming.

I don't know if the weather is good in the capital?

"Lord Wang." A voice suddenly rang out.

Chu Xizhi turned his face and saw that the face of the person who came changed, "Why are you here?" Didn't you want to protect the princess in the palace? ”

Ye raised his head and looked at Chu Xizhi, and said word by word, "Lord Wang, the princess is pregnant." ”
