Chapter 2035 Interrogation

"Qi Shangshu, no matter what, we cannot successfully hold the coronation ceremony tomorrow!" Zhao Xuan looked at Qi Kai and said: "For example, you can create a little chaos and make some mistakes. In short, you must not let the third son ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. His last edict is Forgery, if he ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, the spirit of the late emperor will definitely not forgive you!"

In order to let Qi Kai help him, Zhao Xuan moved the old emperor out again.

However, this did not have much effect on Qi Kai. He shook his head and said: "Your Highness, I really want to help you, but I really can't do it. I have also seen the attitude of His Highness the Third Prince today. I dare say that if I do anything during the enthronement ceremony, he would dare to depose me in public tomorrow. "

"He dares!" Zhao Xuan shouted: "He is just an ordinary prince, and you are the Minister of Rites. He has no right to remove you!"

"But he has a posthumous edict in his hand!" Qi Kai said: "If he knows an ordinary prince, I am naturally not afraid that he will remove me from office. But if he has a posthumous edict in his hand, he is not an ordinary prince. If he arrests I have no choice but to take advantage of me and insist on removing me from office. "

As Qi Kai's Minister of Rites, he does not need to be afraid of an ordinary prince, but Zhao Lun is obviously not an ordinary prince. If he dares to make any trouble tomorrow, Zhao Xuan will definitely seize the opportunity and kill him. Direct dismissal, there will be no nonsense. Qi Kai has already seen Zhao Lun's resolute attitude today. It is definitely not a joke. If anyone dares to stop Zhao Lun from ascending the throne at this time, Zhao Lun will never show mercy.

The imperial edict is the imperial edict, and if there is an imperial edict in hand, even if Qi Kai is the Minister of Rites, he has to obey the order, otherwise he will be disobeying the imperial edict, and he will be beheaded.

It's not that Zhao Xuan doesn't understand Qi Kai's difficulties, but he is still dissatisfied with Qi Kai's attitude. He feels that Qi Kai is not even willing to take any risks, which is really disappointing to him.

"Qi Shangshu! Are you really unwilling to help me?" Zhao Xuan said dissatisfied.

Qi Kai shook his head and said: "I said, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that I really can't do it. Your Highness, there are still many things to deal with in the Yamen, so I will go back first. Your Highness, take care."

After finishing speaking, Qi Kai saluted Zhao Xuan, turned around and left after saluting.

He came here not to accompany Zhao Xuan on another adventure, but to inform Zhao Xuan of the news. If Zhao Xuan could really make a comeback in the future, Zhao Xuan would not take revenge on him because of what happened today.

Zhao Xuan looked at Qi Kai's back with an ugly expression. He wanted to call Qi Kai, but he also knew that even calling Qi Kai would not help. Qi Kai had made it clear that he would not help him delay time.

Zhao Xuan was very angry at Qi Kai's choice, but now was not the time to complain about Qi Kai, because Zhao Lun's accession to the throne was obviously more important.

However, without Qi Kai's help to delay time, it will be more difficult for him to prevent Zhao Lun from ascending the throne.

But no matter how difficult it was, Zhao Xuan could not give up.

"Somebody come!"

Zhao Xuan shouted outside.

This time, what Zhao Xuan called was not the ordinary eunuchs and maids in the palace, but the dead soldiers he secretly raised!

Zhao Xuan secretly cultivated these dead soldiers not to prepare for rebellion, but for self-protection. After all, the old emperor had never determined a candidate for the crown prince. This made Zhao Xuan realize that it would be very difficult to fight for the throne. His life may even be in danger, so he secretly cultivates dead soldiers.

However, cultivating dead soldiers was not an easy task, and he did not dare to let anyone know. Therefore, even though he had been cultivating them secretly for several years, he had only trained ten people.

Zhao Xuan valued these ten people very much and would never use them at all. This was his biggest and last trump card and could not be used easily. But now, Zhao Xuan realized that it was time to use these dead soldiers.

Zhao Xuan gave orders to the ten dead men and watched them leave with a complicated expression.

"Third brother, don't blame me for being cruel. The throne is not yours in the first place. You shouldn't force things that don't belong to you!" Zhao Xuan whispered to himself.

From the beginning to the end, Zhao Xuan did not believe that the imperial edict was true. He always believed that he should sit on the throne, and now he was doing these things just to get back what belonged to him.

On the other side, in a remote courtyard in Yanyang City, Hou Zhong looked at the bloody man in front of him with a pale face. This man who was beaten to death and covered in blood was none other than Dr. Liu!

At this time, Doctor Liu looked very miserable. There was no intact part of his body. All his clothes were beaten to pieces and mixed with blood and water stuck to his body. He was tied to the iron frame, and his head was hanging down weakly. movement.

However, Hou Zhong's expression was ugly.

Because Dr. Liu has not confessed yet.

After the capture of Imperial Physician Liu yesterday, the interrogation had already begun. Because this matter was of great importance, Hou Zhong showed up to take charge of the interrogation in person. Hou Zhong was unexpected. Imperial Physician Liu was just a weak physician. Under their severe torture, He couldn't hold on for long, but he didn't expect that Doctor Liu would be much tougher than Hou Zhong imagined. The interrogation started yesterday and didn't stop even at night. However, until now, Doctor Liu still hasn't confessed.

Hou Zhong has interrogated many people, many of whom are tough guys who claim to be heroes. However, under his interrogation, there are very few people who can persist for such a long time without speaking. This even makes Hou Zhong feel a little dissatisfied with Dr. Liu. I was amazed.

However, even if he looked at him with new eyes, the interrogation had to continue, because it was about the throne, Hou Zhong's future and even his life.

"Sprinkle water, wake him up." Hou Zhong said with a cold face.

His subordinates immediately poured water on Doctor Liu. Doctor Liu, who had been knocked unconscious, woke up slowly after being stimulated by the cold water.

However, as for Doctor Liu himself, he would rather remain unconscious, because once he woke up, he would be waiting for endless interrogations and various tortures. At this time, there was no part of his body that was not painful. As soon as he woke up, the pain all over his body swept over him, making him extremely painful.

"Doctor Liu, to be honest, I admire you very much." Hou Zhong's indifferent voice reached Doctor Liu's ears. In Doctor Liu's view, Hou Zhong's voice was like the voice of a demon from hell. Hearing Hou Zhong's voice, his body even trembled unconsciously.

"Among all the people I have interrogated, you have persisted longer." Hou Zhong ignored Liu Taiyi's little action and continued, "I am really surprised that you, a royal doctor, can do this, but that's all!"
