Chapter 2954 Mutation, Death without Evidence [11]
Wei Qi was very happy because of this and took the opportunity to say to Wu Changzhen and General Lian: "Commander Wu, General Lian, you have also seen what I and the Queen have done... Meng Shuyu's case and Wei Chang's search are indeed It was my negligence, but I have no ill intentions towards the Chu family, please believe me."
Wu Changzhen and General Lian hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty's words are serious, I am terrified!"
Wu Changzhen said again: "With your Majesty's words, I feel relieved... I rashly went outside the city to ask for an audience today, which is really wrong. Please punish me!"
"You don't have to be like this, Commander Wu, get up quickly." Wei Qi got down from the soft couch and dragged the 'sick body' over to help Wu Changzhen in person.
Wu Chang couldn't stand up in shock and insisted: "Your Majesty is kind, but I cannot rely on Your Majesty's kindness to go unpunished... Please punish me to protect the emperor's authority!"
These words made Wei Qi very comfortable... Unexpectedly, Wu Changzhen, who even he envied, would now kneel in front of him and become one of the many slaves under him. This feeling of torturing a proud man was so satisfying. !
Wei Qi deliberately acted awkwardly for a while, and after enjoying the feeling of being surrendered by a proud man, he reluctantly said: "Since you insist, I will punish you with five lashes, a small punishment and a big warning."
Haha, you really don’t have any grandeur even after becoming an emperor, you should still be so stingy.
Wu Changzhen sneered in his heart, but with a hint of gratitude on his face, he said: "Your Majesty is kind and I obey your order, but five lashes are too few. Please punish me with ten lashes!"
Since you are stingy, I will be more generous and give you five lashes to make up the whole number.
Wei Qi was in trouble for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, just ten lashes, go outside to receive the punishment."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wu Changzhen stood up, went outside the Qingzheng Palace, and asked Deputy Commander Fan to give him ten lashes.
After the fight, come back and see Wei Qi.
Wei Qi held Wu Changzhen's hand and said heartbrokenly: "A Zhen, you have suffered."
"Your Majesty's words are serious. It's just a small punishment. I won't suffer." After Wu Changzhen and Wei Qixu exchanged their opinions, they were not interested in dealing with this hypocrite. After rejecting Wei Qi's good intention to stay in the capital, Wu Changzhen stood up and left.
Wei Qi stayed for a while, but when he saw that he couldn't keep him, he asked Wei Lin to come and see him off, and took the opportunity to sigh: "Back then, our two families were very close, and the elders of the two families even joked about getting married. , It’s a pity that fate has played a trick on people, and due to various changes, the two families have become estranged... What do you think of Brother Lin? If he can get a daughter from the Wu family, it can make up for the regrets of the older generation. "
Damn, Wei Laoer is still the same as before, hypocritical and trouble-making. How old is Wei Lin, and you want to help him build a harem?
Wu Changzhen scolded Wei Qi in his heart, and said on his face: "Your Majesty attaches great importance to love and righteousness, which is a blessing for your ministers, but His Highness the Crown Prince is so noble, I am afraid that the Wu family daughter is not worthy..."
Wei Qi interrupted him and said sadly: "It seems that A Zhen doesn't like my son anymore."
"I'm scared!" Wu Changzhen hesitated, glanced at Wei Lin, and then turned to Wei Qi, saying: "I understand what your majesty means... In line with the great love between your majesty and the prince, the Wu family will leave a legitimate daughter of the same age for his highness."
"A Zhen..." Wei Qi was so excited that his eyes were red, and he hurriedly said to Wei Lin, "Why don't you salute and thank Commander Wu quickly?"
Wu Changzhen said: "No, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the crown prince. You cannot salute your ministers. Seeing them off is already a favor."
Wei Linba had to salute the big man, but he quickly stopped.
Wu Changzhen said again: "Your Majesty, please rest well. I will retire first." After bowing to Wei Qi, he and General Lian left the Qingzheng Palace under the escort of Wei Lin.
After they left, Wei Qi immediately ordered his men: "Spread the news about Wu Changzhen's promise to leave a legitimate daughter of the Wu family to the prince."
He wanted to use this matter to tell everyone that Wu Changzhen and the Chu Dynasty generals behind him were already on his side!
"Yes." The dead man hurriedly went to do it.
Inspector Zhang is very good at talking, and he congratulated with a smile: "I congratulate Your Majesty, I have added a lot of help, but..."
Wei Qi frowned: "Just what? Leave half of what you say, you are looking for death!"
Zhang Neijian hurriedly knelt down and said, "This slave deserves to die. Please calm down your Majesty... I am worried that a proud man like Wu Changzhen who was once loyal to the Mad Emperor would not sincerely give the Wu family's legitimate daughter to His Highness the Crown Prince. It should be just a temporary delay." policy, I’m afraid there are other plans behind my back.”
Wei Qi smiled: "You won't really give it?"
Do you think I really want the direct daughter of the Wu family to serve Brother Lin? Is the direct daughter of the Wu family worthy?
He wanted Wu Changzhen's promise of marriage, just to use this promise to make people misunderstand that Wu Changzhen had taken sides and temporarily appease the generals of the Chu Dynasty.
After Wei Xiao's death and after he truly established his position, Wu Changzhen and other generals and civil servants of the Chu Dynasty were all going to die. He would not spare any of them because they were all a scourge to David's rule. If he did not kill them all, he would sleep and eat them all. Uneasy!
"I'm too worried, I'm going to punish myself now." Zhang Naijian slapped himself several times and didn't stop until Wei Qi shouted to stop.
I have to say that Wei Qi did use this trick very well, but Wu Changzhen is not a fool and will give promises easily. He just wants to exchange for Wei Qi's carelessness and put pressure on Wei Xiaoer. Now is the time to kill Wei Qi. He was never vague.
Wei Qi's men moved quickly, and the next day, the news that the Wu family left a daughter to the prince spread throughout the city.
The common people didn't feel anything wrong when they heard the news, but the families of officials, military generals, and wealthy families were shocked when they heard it: "...His Majesty actually subdued Wu Changzhen and a group of Chu Dynasty military generals!"
If you win, as long as Wu Changzhen does not lead the Chu Dynasty military generals to attack the city, as long as the case of Prince Wei's suspected murder of Meng Shuyu can be concluded, no, as long as it can become an unresolved case, then His Majesty will have completely won the battle between uncle and nephew!
Wei Changling and the others soon learned the news, and were shocked and angry.
Zhou Lin was so anxious that he ran back to the camp from the city gate to find Wei Changling: "General Wei, Wu Changzhen has been subdued by the second master. What should we, the second master, do?!"
Wei Changling was annoyed. After hearing this, he said angrily: "Why are you causing trouble? It's not the time to cause trouble yet!"
Zhou Lin: "It's not the time for chaos yet? Do you know Wu Changzhen's position in the general camp of the Chu Dynasty? Do you know how many generals there are in the Chu Dynasty? If Wu Changzhen really surrenders to the second master, unless Qin Xiaohou leads his troops to kill him Rescue, otherwise it will be impossible for our second son to survive this disaster!"
Not to mention that there are generals like Zhou Huang with the second master.
Wei Changling said: "Even if there is no rescue from Qin Guogong, with our military strength, it is not impossible to win in a life-and-death fight with Wu Changzhen and others!"
It is indeed possible to win, but to lose heavily.
And once one of his own people starts fighting, it will be David's troops that will be lost. Now that there is war in the Northeast, and after the internal strife, what else can David use to fight against Dongqing and the Rong bandits? !
Wei Changling added: "Wu Changzhen is not a person who can be easily subdued. It is just a promise and can be voided at any time. Don't panic...get out first."
Zhou Lin: "But this promise is too powerful. Let's..."
boom!
Wei Changling was so annoyed that he slapped the table and said, "Don't say anything that flatters others' ambitions again. Get out. Don't let me say it a second time, otherwise I will immediately remove you from the military!"
There was no choice but to leave. Zhou Lin had no choice but to leave.
…
In the city, Nan Yu was also furious and cursed Wei Xiao: "How could this waste be murdered like this by someone using a little trick? Where was his previous ruthlessness and ability? If you didn't listen to others' advice, you would have listened to me. That hypocrite would have long ago." He was poisoned to death.”
But now that Wei Xiao is in prison, it is impossible for him to enter the palace and poison Wei Qi!
