Dajin royal family

Chapter 219 Anger
"Whether they can completely remove themselves does not depend on them, but on His Majesty." Shen Guang said expressionlessly.

Cui Qi looked at Shen Guang with a determined expression on his face, but did not refute his words, and said: "This is not wrong, and this is why I am willing to cooperate. Both Yunxiang and I are in the hands of the emperor, how can we say it to the outside world?" , It’s not something the emperor can decide with a single word.”

"Mr. Cui knows current affairs."

Shen Guang said: "In that case, let's continue."

"So, what else does General Shen want to know?" Cui Qi responded boredly. For him, he has basically stepped into hell now, and there is no possibility of surviving.That being the case, why don't you leave yourself a whole body and cause some trouble for Wang Xi? You can't die by yourself, let Wang Xixiao live happily.

To be honest, he's not that generous.

"Why did you lose so quickly in Donglai County?" Shen Guang asked.He didn't think about this matter at the time, but now that he has time, he naturally wants to ask clearly, and squeeze out all the information on Cui Qi, even if this information may be useless.

Cui Qi's face was slightly bitter, and he said: "It's a bit embarrassing to say this, but since we have already lost, it's okay. General Shen knew that Fan Shang was our internal response. Those who stayed in Dongnae County, Jiang Chengxiao discovered Fan Shang's identity before us, and then used him to set a trap for us, and we lost in the end."

"Hehe, should I praise that son as worthy of being the queen of the general family? Although he is young, he has to deal with it wholeheartedly. It is not wrong to lose to him."

Shen Guang glanced at Cui Qi, who was feeling alone, with a melancholy face, and said, "Perhaps you did not lose unjustly. That prince is a person who does not change his face in the face of 20 Turkic soldiers."

"That's right, I've heard about the battle of Lou Fanguan, but I didn't expect it to be true." Up to this point, Cui Qi said with emotion: "After all, he is a leader of the clan, such a person can't be underestimated. In short, the cloud phenomenon will be far worse."

Shen Guang was not in the mood to listen to his feelings, and then asked him a lot of questions, until the night was getting darker, he asked all the questions, and finally asked Cui Qi to give his fingerprints, before turning around and leaving to report to the emperor.

At this time, Cui Qi suddenly called out to Shen Guang.Shen Guang thought it was Cui Qi who wanted to say something like 'Can I ask for my life for the sake of honesty', but the result was not as he expected.

"General Shen, is His Highness the King of Han really still alive?" Cui Qi's face was slightly ashen, and there was a begging look in his eyes that he didn't realize.

This surprised Shen Guang a little, shouldn't he be concerned about his funeral at this time, and he is still thinking about the King of Han.From the looks of it, this Cui Qi is also a 'loyal to the Lord' person.

"He is not called the King of Han now. Your Majesty wants to spare him the death penalty for the sake of his compatriots and degrade him to be the King of Xiyin. He is currently living in Chang'an." Shen Guang thought for a while and told him the news.It is not a secret that the King of Han is not dead, basically everyone in the world knows it.The reason why Cui Qi asked him this was because he doubted whether the emperor had really killed the King of Han.

"Is that so?" Cui Qi was silent for a moment, then slowly exhaled, "That's fine, it's better than being killed all day in fear."

Shen Guang was not willing to listen to these words, and what he said was nothing more than the fact that the emperor had murderous intentions against the King of Han, and the King of Han was passive in rebelling against him. "Mr. Cui, think about yourself. Although I can protect your whole body, if His Majesty sentences you to be cut in half or quartered, then we can only piece your body together."

Hearing this, Cui Qi shook his head frankly, "What's the difference to me, it's just death."

Is that the case, you already have the will to die, Shen Guang said: "In this case, Mr. Cui can enjoy the last days, if there is any need, as long as it can be done, you can bring it up."

Cui Qi's death was inevitable, and the emperor could not let him go.For the sake of his honesty, Shen Guang didn't mind letting him live a more comfortable life before he died.As for Cui Yunxiang, the possibility of Cui Yunxiang being saved by the Qinghe Cui family is higher than that of Cui Qi, but that is also a very small possibility.

"Hehe, thank you General Shen." Cui Qi slowly squatted down, leaned against the wall, and slowly closed his eyes.

Because it was too late, Shen Guang did not immediately tell the emperor the news of the interrogation. Instead, he went back to sort it out with the inner guards, and informed the emperor of the results of the interrogation after he went to court tomorrow.

The next day, the emperor finished his morning court and returned to the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, the above is the testimony of Cui Yunxiang and Cui Qi." Shen Guang stood aside with his hands behind his back, but his heart was beating uncontrollably, because the confession just presented was a terrible thing.

Most of the things that Cui Qi said were about the King of Han. They were nothing more than figuring out how he survived, how he colluded with Fan Shang, and how the officials of Donglai County were corrupt. The Cui family played a role in this. what kind of role.These may just increase the crimes of Cui Qi and Cui Yunxiang, and it is not worth the emperor's anger. It is nothing more than making Cui Yunxiang and Cui Qi's death worse.

However, the matter about the 'East Palace' is really life-threatening. No one thought that this time the Cui family asked Cui Qi to stay in Dongnai County to secretly seek Qingyan's self-interest. If this is the case, the key is this' "Self-interest" is likely to be used to honor the East Palace, and this is a big problem.

At this moment, the emperor's face was exactly as Shen Guang guessed, extremely gloomy and terrifying.His angry relationship is not only in the 'East Palace', but also the news of 'Wang Xi is alive'.Back then, it was clearly stated in the battle report that Wang Xi had been executed, but this person was still alive and had escaped from the encirclement. Then someone lied about the battle report and deceived him.

If it wasn't for catching Cui Qi, Wang Xi would have escaped.

So here comes the question, who let Wang Xi go and lied about the battle report?
"Shen Guang."

I don't know how long it took before the emperor's calm voice sounded again.People can't tell what the emperor's mood is now, but this makes Shen Guang even more frightened.

"Your Majesty, please give me your orders." Shen Guang knelt on one knee, bowed his head and waited for the order.

The emperor slowly put down the confession in his hand, looked at Shen Guang, and said: "As for Wang Xi's escape, you continue to investigate for me, and you must find out who secretly released Wang Xi, understand?"

"Understandable."

"You go down."

"Yes."

Shen Guang retreated, and after a while, the emperor suddenly fell on the wooden table without warning, with one hand holding on to the table, and the other bent into a 'claw', tightly grasping the handrail of the wooden table, his forehead was covered with sweat, Pain spread across his face.

Only Ah Weng was serving in the entire imperial study room. Seeing the pained expression on the emperor's face, his expression changed immediately. He walked forward in two steps, took out a silk cloth from his sleeve, and carefully wiped the sweat from the emperor's face.

"Don't get angry, Your Majesty, don't get angry, Your Majesty." Muttering in his mouth, A Weng supported the emperor, stretching out his hand to gently comfort him.

After a long time, the emperor's condition improved slightly, he slowly sat upright, looked at Ah Weng, and said: "How can I not be angry, Ah Weng, tell me how can I not be angry!"

A Weng was silent, he was able to stay by the emperor's side to serve for such a long time, naturally he had a different vision than ordinary people.Although he didn't know what was written in Shen Guang's confession, it definitely touched the emperor's sensitive area.

In addition to the word 'Eastern Palace' mentioned by Shen Guang just now, he already had some guesses in his mind.I'm afraid the crown prince is also involved in this matter. Seeing the emperor's excited expression, A Weng persuaded softly: "If your majesty has any doubts in your heart, you can call someone to explain it in person, and you must not get angry and hurt yourself."

"Hmph! Call someone to explain in person?" The emperor sneered, "Is there anything else to explain, how can I not know how little he thinks? I haven't tolerated him enough, it's just this idiot."

At this point, the emperor slapped the table case angrily, and with a "boom", the memorial fell from the table case with a crash.A Weng quickly knelt down to pick it up and put it back on the case.

"Your Majesty, what happened to Prince Hanli cannot be repeated. We have given others a chance." A Weng knelt beside the emperor and sincerely persuaded him: "The prince may be at fault, but as the emperor's father, His Majesty should point out his faults and let others know." It’s on the right track. Don’t let others see the joke, and take advantage of it.”

The emperor remained silent, even though his heart was burning with anger at the moment, he had to admit that A Weng was right, if something went wrong at this time, it would affect too many things.

"Ah Weng, tell me what to do?" The emperor closed his eyes, not only resting his mind, but also trying to calm his inner anger.

A Weng paused, knelt on the ground without saying a word and didn't get up.It's not his turn to talk about this kind of thing. He intervened to plead for the crown prince to try his best, and other things are out of his consideration.

As if he understood Ah Weng's taboo, the emperor did not continue to persecute him. "Ah Weng is right, I cannot be Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, at least not now."

Can't now, Ah Weng sighed dejectedly when he heard these words.
