Ergitu's heart, which had just been relieved, became tense again with these words, and thin cold sweat began to break out on his forehead.
Wang Ze stared at Hongli and said coldly: "My master is the eldest grandson of Emperor Kangxi, how dare you kill him?!"
Hongli glanced at Ergitu, and his tone was as gentle and gentle as before, "I don't need anyone to teach me how to do things. Wang Ze, your master's life or death is only determined by your thoughts. Don't blame me for not reminding you."
you."
The voice as gentle as the spring breeze made Ergitu tremble slightly. He could not suppress the fear in his heart, especially after seeing the cold look in Wang Ze's eyes. He became even more frightened and hurriedly kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I am indeed
I have never seen this person before, please give me your Majesty’s advice!”
No one paid attention to him, neither Hong Li nor Hong Zhou. They were all waiting for Wang Ze's answer. The latter gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I said. Yes, I have indeed seen this person before."
Ergitu shook his head with a pale face and said: "No, Your Majesty, he is talking nonsense. I have never seen him before."
"Did I ask you a question?" Hongli glanced at him, his warning was self-evident. Ergitu remained as silent as a cicada, lowering his head and not daring to speak again.
"Go on." Faced with Hongli's words, Wang Zedao: "Since the master's accident, I have been hiding with those dead soldiers, waiting for opportunities to avenge my master; once, I was accidentally discovered by this person. I was originally
I wanted to kill him to end the problem, but he told me that there was a way for us to get revenge."
Hongli's eyes were cold and he said: "You want to assassinate me?!"
"Of course I want to kill you, but you stay in the Forbidden City all day long. Although the number of dead soldiers I took away is quite large, they are not crazy enough to break into the Forbidden City. Therefore, there is only one person we want to kill." He said.
Pointing to Hong Zhou, he said: "It's you. The reason why the master is like this is all thanks to you. You are the one who deserves to die the most."
Hong Zhou said coldly: "Since Hong Xi was imprisoned, I have been assassinated several times. Is it you who did it?"
Wang Ze gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, but it's a pity that there are many masters around you, and they have never been able to kill you."
Hong Li said coldly: "What method did he tell you?"
Wang Ze looked at Hong Zhou with a sneer, "He said that Prince He and the concubine in the palace have always had an affair. As long as their affair is exposed, Prince He will naturally lose the favor of the emperor and even become a dead person!"
It's a pity that the people I sent were discovered by him before they could find any evidence.
Otherwise, there would be no chance for him to stand here." At this point, he raised his voice and said: "Hongli, you made him a prince and had great trust in him, but you didn't know that he had an affair with your concubine.
Ran, the two of them are secretly trying to get along. You, the emperor, are really a coward, hahaha."
Faced with Wang Ze's laughter, Hong Zhou scolded with an ugly face: "A bold thief, you dare to talk nonsense in front of the emperor. The relationship between the king and Concubine Xian is innocent. How can there be any talk of personal affairs?"
Spewing blood!"
He originally thought that Wang Ze would talk about the traveling Fang Langzhong. Although it would be a little troublesome to explain, he had already thought of his words and it would not be too troublesome. Moreover, he could take advantage of the situation and convict the Yufei family, which was considered worthwhile.
Unexpectedly, he would say such words; although Hongli was his elder brother, he was also the emperor. Once suspicion arose, it would be a disaster for both him and Xianyue.
Wang Ze suppressed his laughter and said coldly: "You know best whether you are lying or not. Hong Zhou, when it comes to disloyalty, you are the one who is most disloyal to the emperor!"
"How outrageous!" Hong Zhou said sternly: "You slandered me and Concubine Xian like this, do you believe that I will cut you into pieces?!"
"You are so angry that you want to kill someone and silence them?" After saying that, Wang Ze sneered again: "It's useless. Even if I die, this matter will not be erased. Sooner or later, the scandal between you and Concubine Xian will be exposed.
.”
Hong Zhou was so angry that he was trembling all over. This Wang Ze had the intention to harm him. He was very vicious. He didn't care to argue with Wang Ze anymore, and eagerly raised his hands to the silent Hongli and said, "Your Majesty, my brother.
There is no personal relationship with Concubine Xian, you..."
Hongli raised his hand to interrupt him and said, "We'll talk about this later." After that, he looked at Wang Ze and said, "We've finished talking, right?"
Wang Ze nodded and said: "Yes, I have told you everything you want to know, Hongli. I hope you will keep your promise and not harm my master!"
Hongli met his gaze, smiled slightly and said: "As you just said, your master is the eldest grandson of the Holy Ancestor and my cousin. How could I kill him?"
Wang Ze was startled, and then said angrily: "You lied to me?"
"If not, how can I trick you into telling the truth?" After saying that, Hongli suppressed his smile and said with a cold expression: "Pull him down and reward him... the punishment of being quartered on five horses!"
After Wang Ze was pulled down, Ergitu, who was covered in cold sweat, kowtowed repeatedly. He did not deny it again, because he knew in his heart that at this point, even if he denied it, Hongli would not believe it. Fortunately, Wang Ze had just half
If it's half true, it leaves him a glimmer of hope.
Hongli stared at him and said, "So, you admit it?"
Ergitu said in a trembling voice: "Wei Chen deserves to die. Wei Chen is just trying to survive. He does not intend to associate with these gangsters. In fact, Wei Chen wanted to tremble the emperor several times, but he was afraid that they would take revenge after they escaped.
Please forgive me this time, Your Majesty."
Hongli didn't say anything, he just said: "I remember that you used to be a businessman, right?"
Ergitu said tremblingly: "Yes, by the emperor's grace, I allowed the minister to fill the vacancy of Yuanwailang."
Hongli nodded noncommittally, and then said: "I remember that you have a son who won the Jinshi, right?"
Ergitu was not sure what Hongli meant, so he could only say cautiously: "Yes, Wei Chen and his son have always been deeply grateful for the emperor's kindness."
Hongli said lightly: "But now it seems that you are more suitable to go into business together. You can resign tomorrow."
Ergitu expected that he would be punished, but he did not expect that Hongli would not let Tuch go. He quickly said: "Your Majesty, this matter was done by a humble minister alone and has nothing to do with Quanzi. Please give your Majesty a clear warning."
!”
Hongli stared at the jade ring on his finger and said coldly: "Is it because I didn't explain it clearly or you didn't hear it clearly? Do you want me to say it again?!"
Ergitu wanted to beg again, but the cruelty revealed in Hongli's words made him shudder. He did not dare to say the words on his lips. After struggling for a long time, he kowtowed helplessly and said: "I have received the order to thank you.
I'll take my leave!" He stood up and exited the Yangxin Hall with trembling legs. He seemed to have aged ten years overnight.
After he left, Hong Zhou, who had been uneasy all the time, said: "Your Majesty, my brother..."
Hongli raised his hand and said: "Let me be quiet for a while."
