Chapter 50 This tyrant will kill people and destroy their hearts

Chu Chengye chuckled, "Lord Sun, since the number one scholar is a country bumpkin, why are you doing this?"

"But it's a pity that I haven't met the number one scholar. How about you go to An County in person and invite him back to Beijing?"

"This..." Sun Xing knelt on the ground and hesitated.

An County is already very remote. Even if you go there at full speed, it will take more than two months. What's more,

he is a civil servant and can't ride a horse. If he goes there by carriage, it will take more than half a year at the fastest.

The atmosphere in the court changes quickly. Yesterday, Chu Chengye forced the emperor to ascend the throne. Who knows, tomorrow other princes and officials will be unable to restrain their ambitions and attack the capital.

If he really went this time, who knows, the Southern Qi might have changed its ruler, and wouldn't all his years of hard work in the court be in vain?

Thinking of this, Sun Xing bowed to Chu Chengye.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I wanted to serve you, but it's not worth it for a little new champion. Besides, I have an 80-year-old mother and children at home, so I can't leave the mansion."

Sun Xing said this with sincerity, kneeling on the ground for a long time and unwilling to get up.

Others would definitely think that the emperor was looking for trouble, but who was Chu Chengye, how did he get the throne, and why would he be afraid of the verbal battle of those old men.

Chu Chengye waved his sleeves and said, "Your heart is enough. I can ask someone to take care of everything at home for you. If you are still worried, send it to my palace and I will personally take care of it for you. Now you can rest assured, my dear."

Chu Chengye said it lightly, as if he had made up his mind to make Sun Xing leave the capital.

Sun Xing has been in the court for many years. He has been in power since the previous emperor. After Chu Chengye ascended the throne, he said that he would swear allegiance to the new emperor until death. I am afraid that the roots he has planted in the capital will not be uprooted for a while.

Not to mention that he has been taking care of things in the capital. Now let him go to Anxian in the extreme north to lure the tiger away from the mountain. It can catch all the officials who collude with him and clean up the atmosphere in the court.

When Sun Xing heard Chu Chengye say this, he was so angry that he almost hit his head, "Your Majesty! No!"

"How can I bring my family to the palace?"

Chu Chengye retorted to Sun Xing, "Sir Sun, aren't you worried about your family in the mansion? Then I will personally help you to look after them and nothing will go wrong."

Sun Xing was not a fool. He knew that Chu Chengye's sudden request for him to leave the capital was definitely not a good thing, but his refusal actually gave Chu Chengye an opportunity to take advantage of it.

After he left the capital, everything in the court was out of his control no matter what. If he wanted to cause any trouble with his previous power, his family members, young and old, were all raised in the palace, and Chu Chengye was in control of his life. How could he dare to do anything rash?

He could only let Chu Chengye make arrangements.

Sun Xing saw that he and Chu Chengye couldn't go down this road, so he just wanted to change another way.

Suddenly, Sun Xing cried in the court:

"I am old and can't go to that kind of place. Your Majesty, you want to kill me."

"If your Majesty thinks that my heart is not loyal, you can just cut out my heart and see if I am loyal to Nanqi! You treat me like this, but..."

Chu Chengye interrupted Sun Xing impatiently before he finished listening, looking at Sun Xing coldly, "Do you think I don't want to?"

Chu Chengye stood up, and the majesty of a king was particularly evident at this moment. His sword-like eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and his eyes were sharp and quickly swept through every minister in the court.

Chu Chengye gave them official titles and unlimited glory and wealth, but they stabbed him in the back everywhere.

"I really want to dig out your hearts to see how they grow. In the past few years since I ascended the throne, do you really think I am a reckless man who only knows how to use force? Do you think I don't know about your private affairs?"

Chu Chengye walked in front of Sun Xing, lowered his eyes and looked down on Sun Xing.

"Lord Sun, you said you are old, but you are only over 50 years old. You assisted the late emperor and you must be both wise and brave. I think it is not difficult for you to go to An County."

Sun Xing lowered his head and said nothing.

"This top scholar is only seventeen years old, not even as old as the youngest son of Lord Sun. How can he bear the severe cold in the north?"

"If Lord Sun says that he is too old to go to such a place, why not let the youngest son go instead? I heard that Lord Sun's family is kind and filial, so your son will naturally not refuse me."

"Someone come." Chu Chengye said without waiting for Sun Xing to have any chance to explain, and directly ordered Wei An beside him.

"Pass on my order, Lord Sun Xing is old and can't take on the heavy responsibility, so I specially order his youngest son to go to An County to welcome the top scholar back to Beijing on his behalf."

Sun Xing saw that Chu Chengye really wanted his youngest son to go on his behalf, and his crying stopped immediately.

"Your Majesty, I will go, and I am willing to accept your order."

Cheng Jin watched all this from the side and couldn't help but exclaimed.

[Who is crueler or you?]

[This Chu Chengye will kill people and destroy their hearts.]

Who in the capital doesn't know that Lord Sun Xing is over 100 years old and has only one son in his family.

I don't know if it's really because of his many evil deeds that the Buddha appeared. Although Sun Xing is an important official in the court and enjoys countless wealth, he has not had a child after marrying for decades.

Later, he took in several concubines, but there was no news for a long time. I don't know what happened. When he was nearly 40 years old, his wife suddenly said that she was pregnant. After ten months of pregnancy, a baby boy was born.

Sun Xing was so happy that he held a banquet for half a month, wishing that the world would know that he had a son.

This son was spoiled beyond recognition. He could do anything he wanted, but Sun Xing never got angry.

But no matter how much he pampered his son, his health was very poor and he was hanging on to his life by medicine.

Now Chu Chengye said that he wanted his son to go to such an extremely cold place as An County for him. Isn't

that tantamount to asking for his son's life? How could Sun Xing be willing to do that? Of course, he would rather sacrifice his own life than let his son go.

Cheng Jin sighed slightly.

[Although you love your son so much, you are very sorry.]

[This child is not yours.]

Chu Chengye raised his eyebrows and glanced at Cheng Jin when he heard this.

This is indeed a huge secret.

Everyone knows how much Sun Xing loves his son. He holds him in his hands for fear of dropping him, and holds him in his hands for fear of melting him. If there is any weakness of this old man, it is this one son of his.

And he is not even his.

Chu Chengye curled his lips slightly.

It is a bit interesting.

Cheng Jin lowered her head and was still immersed in her own thoughts.

[Sun Xing doesn’t even think about it. When he was in his twenties and thirties and strong, he couldn’t get pregnant no matter what. How come he suddenly got pregnant when he was almost forty and couldn’t? ] [

In fact, it has been seen for a long time that Sun Xing is not good at it. He is not destined to have children. ]

[Suddenly, it is because Sun Xing favors his concubine and kills his wife, which makes the legal wife feel a sense of crisis. He got the baby by wearing a cuckold. ]
