The relationship between the two parties has also changed, and it is no longer as tense as before.
Things have become calm, of course, that's what it looks like on the surface.
In fact, there is an undercurrent surging behind it as always...
The Wu Dynasty's army at Nanguan did not withdraw, and the defense line at Liugu Pass in the east was still being built and improved.
Da Chu…
Liu Taiqi returned to the capital to resume his duties.
Emperor Chu somewhat hated Liu Taiqi. If it hadn't been for him, his daughter would not have married into the Wu Dynasty!
Treat him coldly and coldly.
Emperor Chu said coldly: "Liu Aiqing, there is still one more task that has not been completed!"
When Liu Taiqi heard this, his expression was stunned, and he knelt on the ground on the spot, "Please... please punish me!"
Emperor Chu said coldly: "Well, since you asked me to punish you, then I will punish you!"
"Ah?" Liu Taiqi just said it, who would have thought that Emperor Chu would come for real? Damn... isn't this trying to kill himself?
"Your Majesty, minister..."
Shangguan Yunlong didn't understand what Emperor Chu was doing, so he quickly said: "Your Majesty, please think twice before you act!"
"Although Liu Taiqi didn't get back the drawings of the three-bow bed crossbow, he still had some credit for establishing a good relationship between Da Chu and the Wu Dynasty!"
The reason why Emperor Chu hated Liu Taiqi was because of one thing, and that was marriage.
He felt very embarrassed and lost face by sending his daughter to please the Wu Dynasty.
Therefore, all the anger was directed at Liu Taiqi.
Liu Taiqi still can't figure out where his sin came from, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, what is my sin?"
Still dare to contradict?
Immediately, Emperor Chu shouted angrily, "I said you are guilty, and you are guilty!"
"I'm not guilty!" Liu Taiqi's bad temper suddenly rushed to his head again.
Emperor Chu was extremely angry now, and his face turned completely dark, "You Liu Taiqi, how dare you do the following, okay, okay... I want to see how many heads you have to chop off today!"
"Come here, drag him down and throw him into the sky prison!"
Liu Taiqi did not beg for mercy, but cursed at the top of his voice, "Emperor Chu, you are so narrow-minded, you really can't compare to Emperor Wu!"
"You stupid emperor!"
Shangguan Yunlong was originally going to speak for Liu Taiqi, but when he said these words, even Shangguan Yunlong did not dare to say any more.
Worried about getting angry.
Emperor Chu was furious on the spot and slapped Long Ben, "Liu Taiqi, you dare to speak rudely to me. If you do the following, just these two points will kill your entire clan!"
Liu Taiqi still did not beg for mercy and responded tit for tat, "You asked me to go to the Wu Dynasty, I went, you asked me to delay time for Dachu, I did it, but I only used marriage, but now you blame me for using marriage like this
Means, do you, a reclusive emperor, know that no official in the Wu Dynasty is a loser? Do you know that if you don’t make sacrifices, how can you delay time for the great Chu?"
"If it weren't for this marriage, I'm afraid the Wu Dynasty's army would have already gone south!"
Even if Liu Taiqi was telling the truth, Emperor Chu was unwilling to listen.
Emperor Chu shouted on the spot: "Let me tell you, even without this marriage, I am still not afraid of the Wu Dynasty!"
Liu Taiqi replied, "If that's the case, why did you agree to the marriage again?"
"Isn't it because of fear?"
"You..." Emperor Chu was so angry that he was on the verge of exploding. The Liu Taiqi in front of him was so crazy that he spoke freely and dared not say anything. "Come here, pull him out and chop him directly!"
"Kill the Nine Tribes!"
Back then, he was sent down because he spoke out.
Liu Taiqi was fearless, with a smile on his face, "Haha... I'm not afraid of death. I should have died three years ago! Come on, kill me!"
"The Dog Emperor!"
"A foolish king..."
"How in the world can there be such a petty emperor like you!"
"What a great person to take off the mill and kill the donkey!"
The anger on Emperor Chu's face remained unabated, and he waved his arms, "Pull him out and chop him!"
Soon, a group of soldiers rushed in and dragged Liu Taiqi out who was cursing.
Naturally, he did not expect that returning to Dachu would be such a fate.
Another thing is that the Emperor of Chu had already had a prejudice against Liu Taiqi, but today it just exploded. As the saying goes, if the king wants his minister to die, he must die.
Emperor Chu shook his arms angrily and left the side hall.
Shangguan Yunlong and others bowed and watched Emperor Chu leave before slowly exiting.
After walking out of the side hall, he took out a breath of turbid air. He was too depressed just now.
Naturally, he did not expect that things would develop to the point where they are now. It was really unexpected. Nature has its way with man...
Then, he moved to the vegetable market where Dongmen was.
By this time, everyone related to Liu Taiqi had been arrested and put on prison uniforms.
There was an endless stream of people watching, and the sounds of crying and screaming could not be heard without stopping.
By now, Liu Taiqi was numb and his face was ashen. This fate seemed like God had made a joke on him.
Everyone related to him was implicated.
Including his neighbor Zhang Ma and others...
Zhang Ma's hair was disheveled and she was pressed under the guillotine. She looked at Liu Taiqi and said, "Taiqi, aren't you reinstated as an official? You are still a very high official. Please save us!"
"us……"
Before she could finish her words, the guillotine was slammed down from the air. In an instant, Liu’s mother’s body was separated, and her blood stained the ground red.
"Ahh..."
Liu Taiqi looked up to the sky and screamed, "Why, why? God, why are you doing this to me?"
Only now did he truly understand what it means to accompany a king like a tiger.
After a while, the two lines shed tears and chose to accept this fact.
Accept fate!
In this way, relatives and neighbors who were related to Liu Taiqi were all involved.
It was on this day that blood dyed the vegetable market and people's hearts red.
Shangguan Yunlong could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything... The only thing he could do now was to bury Liu Taiqi's body in a dignified manner.
"well……"
"Taiqi, your sharp edge is too sharp. I'm afraid no emperor in the world would be willing to let you point your nose and yell!"
Shangguan Yunlong felt sorry for Liu Taiqi and even blamed himself. Maybe he should not have let Liu Taiqi enter the court again in the first place!
In this way, Liu Taiqi did not die in the Wu Dynasty, but died in the hands of his own people.
Even after learning that Liu Taiqi's body had been separated, Emperor Chu still felt unabated.
…
The eastern border of Wu Dynasty.
At Liugu Pass, Shi Gandang and Lei Yi personally went out to inspect the city.
Seeing that the defenses had been integrated with the ground, the two of them showed a slightly satisfied smile.
Lei Yi spoke again: "General, now that Wu Chao and Da Chu have become in-laws, do you think it is a bit redundant for us to do this?"
Shi Gandang looked at the east, "Who can say what will happen in the future? Take precautions before they happen!"
