old friends return

There is no dungeon in the barracks, but there is a special place for detaining prisoners. Cheng Muzhi and several of his confidants were imprisoned here.

Cheng Muze woke up instantly when he heard the voice from outside the tent.

When he saw clearly that it was Cheng Mu, he stopped standing up abruptly, took a few steps back and sat down dejectedly.

"What are you doing here? Are you here to see my jokes?" Cheng Muze was disheveled and looked up at him coldly.

"Look at your joke? Do you think I'm you? You had to watch when I made you kneel, so?" Cheng Muzhi sat on the chair, his tone neither serious nor serious.

"Why did I come to see your joke?" Cheng Muzhi asked again, paused and suddenly smiled, "I'm here this time to kill you."

Cheng Muze was shocked by his smile, and subconsciously shrank back, "Cheng Muzhi! You can't do this! You are a monarch who wants to implement benevolent government. If you kill your own brother, think about it later." How will the common people talk about you? The court ministers will certainly not recognize you as a cruel and ruthless emperor!"

"Oh?" Cheng Muzhi raised his eyebrows, "Brother..."

"Hehe, you can still say it, so I would like to thank you very much. What I learned from your own brother is that the only thing you can do is revenge."

"Think about how you insulted me when I was young? How much did you and Concubine Yan Gui make trouble for me in secret when my mother passed away? How much did Mingli say about me in front of Emperor Hengde? I can live until now, It must have been God's blessing."

Cheng Muzhi looked at Cheng Muze trembling on the ground, and the disgust in his eyes became more obvious, "I was forced to kneel in the ancestral hall when I was young, and I always had your help. I'm an adult, and the one who found someone to assassinate me again and again, was it you?"

"You are telling me to be merciful now? Cheng Muze, you are really dreaming."

"No, that's not the case. I know I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong, you spare my life, I will be safe and sound in the future, and I will never..."

"Speaking of ruthlessness, compared with me, I'm afraid you are worse than me." Cheng Muze's plea was interrupted by him, "In order to isolate me in the court, and cooperate with Yan Qi to destroy the whole family of Liu Family, You haven't forgotten it, have you?"

"I married Huang Wanrong for the sake of military power, and abolished the former concubine in order to make her sit on the rightful concubine. If you are ruthless and ungrateful, it is a compliment to you."

"Also, compared to killing brothers and killing fathers, the ministers should be more surprised, right?"

Cheng Muzhi still spoke unhurriedly, but every sentence was like a sharp knife on the top of his head. Cheng Muze was so frightened that he was almost speechless, "You... how would you know! What Qing did, only the two of us know..."

He suddenly reacted.

His military advisors belong to others, so why does he mention Yan Qing?

"Yan Qing?" Cheng Muzhi looked at him with a bright smile, "His real name is Liu, Qing, and Yan."

Cheng Mu paused every word.

Cheng Muze could no longer utter the words of defense in his mouth.

It was him who was careless. He really thought that that person was whoever he was, and he blindly believed him without investigating the origin clearly.

Wait... He seemed to realize something suddenly. In the end, he asked Yan Qing, no, Liu Qingyan to do it. In other words, Emperor Hengde didn't know about it from the beginning to the end?He never doubted Liu Qingyan's identity?

As if seeing Cheng Muze's doubts, Cheng Muzhi said, "You guessed right, he didn't know, but in the end Ah Yan was still soft-hearted, after all, let him die to understand."

Cheng Muze grasped the straw mat behind him, feeling more and more uncomfortable under Cheng Muzhi's oppressive aura, but he still refused to let go, and finally said grimly: "Cheng Muzhi, if you say I killed my father, then Liu Qingyan Woolen cloth?"

"What he committed was the crime of killing the king."

"No matter how bad father is to you, but after all it is your father, you really don't hate him?"

Cheng Muzhi laughed when he heard the words, as if he felt that he was talking about a joke, "What about the Liu family? Isn't Liu Shangshu's death also related to Emperor Hengde? After all, he just avenged the extermination of the family." , it is enough for him not to hold grudges against me, why should I hold grudges against him?"

"As for the crime of regicide..." Cheng Muzhi got up and stood in front of him, looking down at him, "In the future history of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Emperor Hengde will die and die safely."

"What's more, what is he called a king? How can he be called a king?"

Cheng Muzhi lowered his eyes and waved to the outside. Soon, someone came in with a plate, which contained a white silk, a glass of poisonous wine, and a dagger.

"I won't be merciful enough to allow you to return to Shengjing alive. Although you are not a future trouble, I don't want you to live in this world anymore."

"For these things, you can choose the one that is convenient for you, and solve it yourself."

Cheng Muze was a little surprised, "You won't kill me yourself?"

"I don't have that idea." Cheng Muzhi said calmly, "You are not qualified yet."

At this time, a guard came in from outside and whispered a few words in his ear quickly. Cheng Muzhi nodded to indicate that he understood, then turned to Cheng Muze and said, "Don't worry, I will treat your family well. Will not vent my anger."

"As for Shuzhen, I will raise and teach him well. There will be no children between me and Ah Yan. The future throne will still belong to him."

After finishing speaking, he ignored the astonishment in Cheng Muze's eyes, turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Cheng Muze froze on the spot for a long time as if he had understood something, picked up the poisonous wine and drank it all in one gulp.

It was his ambition and ego that got him to this point, and no one else had anything to do with it.

Cheng Muzhi hurried back to the tent, and saw Liu Qingyan half lying on the couch, holding a cup of tea in his hand, but his eyes were a little blank, completely out of focus.

Realizing that he was coming, Liu Qingyan was about to get off the couch to salute him immediately, but he rushed over and hugged him in his arms. Cheng Muzhi waved his hand behind him, signaling the others to back down.

Liu Qingyan was a little dazed, and only belatedly came back to her senses and hugged him, her tone was soft, "Your Majesty, etiquette cannot be broken."

"It's just for you alone." Cheng Muzhi turned his head and kissed his cheek, finally confirming that he woke up, grabbed his hand and kissed him again.

Liu Qingyan smiled helplessly, but his tone became more waxy, as if he had finally unloaded all the burdens on his body, and he was still that child in front of Cheng Muzhi.

"I'm fine." He followed Cheng Muzhi's example and kissed his eyes, but within a short while, the initiative was taken back, and he was finally let go after being pressed for a long time.

"You are in poor health, don't take the initiative to do this, I can easily lose control."

Liu Qingyan smiled, resting her head on his forehead, "This is the emperor, only the state officials are allowed to set fire, and the people are not allowed to light lamps..."
