When Cui Zhengde heard that someone was approaching, he was immediately ecstatic.
"Is someone here? Brother, tell me, when can I be brought to trial?"
"I am a palace guard, how do I know when you will be interrogated?"
…
When Cui Zhengde heard the tone, he seemed to be a little unusual.
When I heard the content of the conversation, my three souls and seven souls suddenly disappeared.
Someone from the palace is here?!
Cui Zhengde had no doubts about what happened to him.
After all, he was also the eighth young master of the Cui family in Qinghe. How could he suddenly be arrested and brought to Dali Temple for an inexplicable crime of bullying and dominating the market? Or should Li Jing personally lead the troops to execute it!
Cui Zhengde quickly wondered if he was in trouble, but he didn't know what exactly he was in trouble with.
When I saw this person, I instinctively felt that I was going to be in trouble...
"Sir, I am the eighth young master of the Cui family in Qinghe. Can you please help me to be accommodating and contact me? I want to see Mr. Zheng, the minister of Dali Temple!"
"You want to see Mr. Zheng, the Minister of Dali Temple!"
"Yes, sir, please be accommodating. Mr. Cui of Qinghe will definitely thank you very much in the future!"
"Prince of Dali Temple, my surname is Zheng... OK, I'll remember it."
The other party actually answered like this, and Cui Zhengde was immediately ecstatic.
It looks like there’s something going on!
snort!
What about Li Jing, what about Duke Wei? Even if someone comes from the palace, the family in Chang'an still has the final say!
But the next moment.
The other party added another sentence, which immediately made Cui Zhengde lose his mind...
"Besides this, do you have any other last words?"
Cui Zhengde was stunned.
Last words?
What's the meaning?
Why are you asking me if I have any last words???
"Sir, am I mistaken? I am really Qinghe Cui..."
"I know! Just because you are from the Cui family in Qinghe, you will definitely die today!"
This person is surprisingly Qin Ruochan's father, Qin Qiong!
Looking at Cui Zhengde, he sneered and opened the wooden fence.
"How many years have you, this noble family, been monopolizing power and controlling the court? It's a pity that your Majesty is no longer the first-rate Huan Ling Majesty!"
"Today I will teach you clearly that you have offended someone whom His Majesty respects and relies on!"
"Your Majesty...do you respect the people you rely on?"
Cui Zhengde was trembling all over and his mind went blank.
Your Majesty Li Er... Isn't Li Er a military leader with a background of leading troops? Who can he respect?
Li Jiancheng was killed and Li Yuan was imprisoned.
There is still someone in the world who respects him...
Wait, Cui Zhengde remembered what happened during the day. It seemed that after Li Jing arrested him, he respectfully comforted the young shopkeeper who was new to Chang'an.
Could it be him?!
"Sir, you are talking about...the owner of Zicheng Zhai on Chunhui Street?"
"Yes, it is this person."
"Today, Your Majesty's number one counselor!"
After that, Qin Qiong slowly walked into the prison carrying the heavy copper mace...
Cui Zhengde looked at the person coming, his eyes widened blankly, and his heart felt cold.
There are still countless question marks.
He had clearly sent someone to inquire about this man. He was just a new hawker in Chang'an. How could he become Li Er's number one adviser?
Can this guy be more powerful than Fang Xuanling, Wei Zheng and other thieves?
If he is really better than Wei Zheng and the others...
Thinking of the future fate of his family, Cui Zhengde only had one thought left at this moment.
Inform the family immediately and never make an enemy of Li Er!
But it's a pity...
As the mace rose and fell, it was too late...
Blood splattered three feet!
Immediately execute him!
…
What happened at the third watch in the middle of the night was just before the fifth watch, and there was still a full hour before dawn.
The news has been conveyed.
South of Chang'an City,
In the mansion, the lights were brightly lit, people were shouting, and it was a mess.
Cui Yun, the head of the Cui family, was staring blankly at this moment, dumbfounded.
There was a boy in front of him, his head lowered as if it was touching his feet.
Countless maids and servants around him asked Cui Yun to calm down.
"Zhengde...is dead...?"
"Zhengde, he's dead..."
"died……"
Cui Yun murmured something in his mouth, and Cui Yun seemed to have lost his soul.
Then, the maids and servants behind him moved out of the way.
An old man came over.
"What's wrong? All of you...Yun'er, what happened?"
"Father...Zhengde is dead. He died in the prison of Dali Temple!"
"What?!"
Cui Baihe, the old man of the Cui family, let out a mournful cry, and his whole body was shaken instantly.
"Li Shimin...Li Shimin..."
"How dare you kill my grandson!"
"My grandson is the young master of the Cui family in Qinghe. How dare you kill him! How dare you kill him!"
"Li Shimin! I, Cui Baihe, and you are inseparable!"
…
It's just dawn.
Several old men gathered in the courtyard of Cui Mansion.
"Brother Cui, my condolences!"
"Brother Cui, don't let the pain break your body!"
"Brother Cui, the green hills are still here, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood!"
"Brother Cui..."
"Brother Cui, this matter belongs to my brother Meng Lang."
The old man in charge of the Zheng family in Xingyang let out a long sigh, and his eyes were filled with shock and anger.
He never expected that,
Before he could send someone to arrest him, the palace sent someone out directly to execute Cui Zhengde that night!
Mr. Zheng, Zheng Taishan, looked serious.
I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as His Majesty losing his temper. This is really going to war with the noble family!
"Brother Cui, there is no need to be sad. Don't we have some confidence that our family can survive and grow to this day?"
Zheng Taishan said bitterly.
"Our five surnames and Qiwang are the most powerful and populous family in the world today."
"Tomorrow, we should directly gather all the officials of the seventh surname and go directly to confront Li Er!"
"If Li Er doesn't issue an imperial edict this time, I don't see how he can continue to be the emperor!"
"good!"
"good!"
"Brother Zheng is right, it's time to assemble all the forces! At such a critical moment of survival, if we don't gather together, will we just sit there and wait for death?"
"Our officials with the seven surnames occupy most of the court!"
"You are so courageous, holding the imperial examination and killing people! It's such a rebellion!"
"He, Li Er, has the guts to be bold, but he has no strength to really become our enemy!"
"right!"
"I'll go tomorrow!"
…
Chang'an City, Chunhui Street... This street was originally just an ordinary street in the prosperous Chang'an City, but it just had more shops and more passers-by.
But because of this little bit of specialness, it actually attracted the young master of the Cui family in Qinghe.
Ordinary people have never heard of the Cui family in Qinghe... It's just that under the emperor's feet, the people's attitude towards the aristocratic families is not as fearful as the local people in Qinghe, they just treat it as a bit disgusting.
but now,
The eighth young master of the Cui family is dead.
With this death, Chunhui Street became slightly famous—in short, no matter what the crime, it was probably related to the people in Chunhui Street.
And, what is more famous is.
Cui Zhengde's death, this matter...
By dawn the next day, almost all the dignitaries' families in Chang'an knew about this incident.
Anyone who knows about the conflicts between His Majesty and the aristocratic families will be terrified... a war is about to begin!
