Chapter 51 This tyrant is a monster

[The legal wife was in a state of panic after doing such a thing. She was terrified. Who knew that Sun Xing, who was usually so treacherous and suspicious in the court, was not suspicious at all when encountering such a thing. He wanted to announce to the world that he had a child. ]

[In fact, he had no idea that he had raised someone else's child for more than ten years. ]

[He became a big scapegoat. ]

Chu Chengye listened to Cheng Jin's thoughts, and then looked at Sun Xing, who was kneeling in front of him with tears not yet dried. The coldness between his eyebrows disappeared completely, and he said to Sun Xing gently with a slight smile:

"Lord Sun is willing to go. I have seen that Lord Sun is loyal and sincere."

Chu Chengye's smile became bigger, and it was not difficult to see that it was fake. He stretched out his hand in front of Sun Xing.

"When Lord Sun comes back this time, I will naturally reward him handsomely and give him a great surprise."

Chu Chengye emphasized the words "a great surprise" and said it meaningfully.

Sun Xing naturally didn't believe what Chu Chengye said about a huge reward and a great surprise. He just hoped that he would be able to return alive and that his wife and children would be safe at home.

He was indeed old, and he felt numbness in his legs after kneeling for such a while. However, it was not so much physical discomfort, but the huge blow of this incident.

Sun Xing couldn't get up, but looking at the hand stretched out by Chu Chengye in front of him, although it was not appropriate, it was better than embarrassing himself in front of those people and officials.

He forced a smile at Chu Chengye and wanted to get up with the help of Chu Chengye's arm.

Chu Chengye suddenly pulled his hand away and walked towards the dragon chair with his hands behind his back.

Sun Xing staggered and nearly fell to the ground.

"Since Lord Sun doesn't want to get up, it must be more comfortable to kneel than to stand. Then I will allow you to rest until the end of the morning court."

Sun Xing had no reason to get up even if his legs were numb.

Cheng Jin watched Chu Chengye walk to her side and sit on the dragon chair, one hand carelessly supporting his chin and the other tapping the dragon chair with his fingertips.

He had a faint smile on his face, but there was no smile at all. Instead, the cold light and murderous aura in his eyes were almost reflected, like a sharp blade.

This Chu Chengye is a complete monster.

At the age of eight, he left Southern Qi and went to a vassal state to be a hostage. After ten years of hiding, he returned to Southern Qi with blood all over the ground. After another three years, he forced the previous emperor to abdicate and ascended the throne himself. He

became the new emperor of Southern Qi.

After doing such a treasonous thing, it was naturally impossible for the civil and military officials

of the Manchu Dynasty to bow their heads and obey him so easily. Chu Chengye didn't care at all. He kept those ministers who could consolidate his government in the court and didn't use them. Just watch, watch how he tortured those rebellious criminals to death.

Slowly, people's hearts returned to the cage.

Just like now, everyone clearly understands what kind of tricks Chu Chengye used, but no one dares to say anything.

Everyone shouted in unison: "Long live our emperor, our emperor is wise."

Chu Chengye knew in his heart how many of them were just obedient on the surface, but actually wanted him dead.

He wanted to see what those people were capable of.

Sun Xing was kneeling there, and no one dared to beg for mercy. Chu Chengye's methods were cruel.

It would be fine on normal days, but if he caught them doing something wrong, they would have to suffer. Even if they were on good terms with Sun Xing, they would not think of making trouble at this time. Although

the court was in chaos, some of them were sincere followers of Chu Chengye.

Cheng Jin muttered in his heart.

This Chu Chengye also had many loyal people in the book, otherwise it would not have been so easy to seize the throne from the previous emperor.

The late emperor was extremely incompetent, and loved wine, meat, and women. He favored treacherous ministers, was licentious, and was also the most ruthless. He would not spare anyone who threatened his position, not to mention his own son.

When the late emperor ascended the throne, he first killed all the loyal and good ministers of the founding of the country, because he was afraid that those people would become arrogant and threaten his throne. During his reign, he

was the most greedy and afraid of death. Whenever there was a foreign country offending, he would cede land to pay compensation, send hostages to foreign countries, and let princesses marry in an attempt to maintain peace.

How could these cowardly actions maintain true peace? A weak country has no diplomacy. Those people have long been eyeing the fat piece of meat of Southern Qi.

Chu Chengye destroyed the vassal state, but he did not make the late emperor admire him, but instead wanted to kill him.

Chu Chengye didn't want to die, and he couldn't die. He could only raise an army to rebel and

force the emperor to take the throne. This is the only way to protect himself and the people of Southern Qi.

Chu Chengye knew why others called him a tyrant. Since he ascended the throne, he has been killing and fighting non-stop. It's not because he loves fighting, but because it's for the sake of Southern Qi, he has to fight.

Just when no one dared to speak, someone reported that the border war was a victory.

It was Cheng Jin's brother Cheng Sheng.

Cheng Sheng listened to the excitement for a while. Sun Xing had always been at odds with Cheng Yishou, and he didn't want to talk about what he did.

Now it seems that it's really gratifying .

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. My close friend has sent a good news from the front. The border war will be won, and Yingzhou will be taken back soon."

This time, Chu Chengye really smiled.

"Okay, okay, Yingzhou has been recovered. Tell them that when they withdraw their troops back to the capital, I will reward them greatly. There will be huge rewards for every soldier."

Cheng Sheng knelt on the ground to thank Chen Shou who was far away at the border.

Yingzhou?

Cheng Jin frowned, and cried out in his heart that it was not good.

[Yingzhou has not been recovered. The news that Chen Shou gave brother was false. Don't believe it.]

Chu Chengye's smile froze instantly. Looking at Cheng Sheng in front of him, he didn't know what to say.

The compliments have been said, and all the civil and military officials are listening. If the news that Yingzhou was recovered is false, then Cheng Sheng would be guilty of deceiving the emperor and is punishable by death.

Cheng Sheng naturally heard Cheng Jin's voice.

[The news that Yingzhou was recovered is false, and the framing of Cheng Sheng is true.] 】

【This Chen Shou was jealous that his brother could train soldiers in the capital and rely on his father's official position to get more benefits, while he was fighting in the war and suffered a lot but could not return to the capital. 】

[He had calculated that Yingzhou would lose this time, so he sent back this news in advance, thinking that after a while, when he really lost the battle and returned to Beijing, he would probably hear the news that the entire Cheng family had been executed.]

[Even if he couldn't get promoted after losing the battle, he would feel more balanced if the entire Cheng family had been executed.]

At this moment, Cheng Sheng felt that his legs were so stiff that he couldn't move at all, the blood in his body was flowing backwards, the feeling of suffocation rushed to his head, and he couldn't hear the rumbling congratulations in his ears. He just felt that he was going to fall to the ground soon.

This Chen Shou!

He was so cruel!

Cheng Sheng treated him as a brother with a different surname and thought of him as everything good, but he actually treated him like this!

Chen Shou was not from a rich family, he just couldn't make ends meet so he went to the army to find a way to survive. It

was also by chance that Cheng Sheng met him. When they were fighting outside, Chen Shou accidentally saved Cheng Sheng's life, and Cheng Sheng kept this matter in his heart.

He was a deputy general, so naturally the rewards for winning the battle were all very good. Cheng Sheng refused all the rewards that he could refuse and sent them to Chen Shou's home.

Even his current position as a sixth-rank Yunqiwei was obtained by his military merits for Chen Shou.

Not only did he not know how to be grateful, he also wanted to kill the entire Cheng family.
