Chapter 58 Called a loner

Cui Jishan is just a small shopkeeper and not a core member of the Cui family. To put it bluntly, his surname was not Cui. Later, because his father had worked in the Cui family for fifty years, he was given a surname. Even so, he has been able to He walked sideways on the street. Over the years, many royal family members would give him a slap when they saw him. He had never dreamed of being beaten on the street.

"you……"

After the siege was completed, Cui Jishan remembered that behind him was the Cui family of Qinghe, which was the most wealthy family in the world. He couldn't be afraid of these people, but he just said this word, and he didn't dare to kill him for the rest. He spoke out because a knife was already placed across his neck.

He could tell from Zhao Yunhui's eyes that this man really dared to kill people. Looking at him was like looking at an animal. If he told the rest of the words, maybe this knife could really kill him. A cut was made on the neck.

Li Xiang did not dismount at this moment, but just urged the horse to move forward a few steps, and the excited people around him remained silent. This is a kind of majesty.

"The solitary king was ordered by General Li of the Ministry of War to capture the Korean spy Sun Zhenghao. A group of people were waiting in place and did not move. Anyone who disobeyed the order would be killed."

Li Xiang has the fighting strength of fifteen people, so when he speaks, he is full of energy, and everyone nearby hears Li Xiang's words.

At first, some people thought Li Xiang was fooling around, but now after hearing it clearly, everyone stood in place honestly. In the past years, the Tang Dynasty and the Goryeo Kingdom had fought, many soldiers were killed and injured, and many people had relatives enshrined in their homes. tablet, so when talking about Korean spies, none of these people do not hate them.

Someone has prepared a bunch of messy gadgets in his hand. If the Korean spy comes out later, he will be greeted with these things.

After Li Xiang finished speaking, the ten guards behind him were about to rush in with knives. Who knew that at this moment, a maniacal laughing voice came from the restaurant.

This person is the person in charge of the Cui family in Qinghe in the capital. Cui Yuncheng, the second son of Cui, is considered a leader among the younger generation. Otherwise, he would not be able to take charge in the capital.

The Cui family has one head, two deputy heads, four elders and eight service members. Cui Yuncheng is one of the eight service members, and the other seven are all over forty years old, and he is the only one in his twenties.

Someone once said that if nothing goes wrong, he is likely to be the next leader of the Cui family.

In two breaths, Li Xiang finally saw Cui Yuncheng. This man was dressed in red robes and had a handsome face, but his eyes showed a sinister look. Behind him were ten men in well-dressed clothes. You could tell by looking at the muscles on his body that they should all be. Be a master.

"It turns out to be His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson. I, Cui Yuncheng, have met His Highness."

This man bent slightly and did not salute. According to the rules, he must have violated the rules. However, in this day and age, the core children of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes do have the same treatment as the children of the royal family.

When Li Shimin ascended the throne, he had received various family heads. At that time, the family heads did not salute Li Shimin. In order to win people's hearts, Li Shimin did not care about this, so he followed the example. It is acceptable for Cui Yuncheng to salute like this.

"Kneel down."

Everyone wanted to see how the emperor's grandson caught the spy, but who knew that Li Xiang actually spit out these two words.

Kneel down?

His Highness the Emperor Changsun asked Cui Yuncheng to kneel down?

Many people thought they heard wrongly, and some people picked their ears hard. Is it because too much earwax affects their hearing?

Although Cui Yuncheng is only the servant of the Cui family, in the eyes of everyone, he is not much worse than His Royal Highness the Emperor Changsun. Although the Tang Dynasty's surname is Li, the Cui family has lasted for thousands of years and is extremely powerful. It is estimated that in the hearts of ordinary people, the core children of their family are already on the same level as the children of the royal family.

But just now, Your Highness...

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

Cui Yuncheng said angrily. He had called him "His Royal Highness" just now, but now he no longer even has this honorific title.

"I told you to kneel down."

Li Xiang deliberately emphasized the last two words, not only to let him hear clearly, but also to let the people around him hear clearly. In the society of the Tang Dynasty, the five surnames and seven looks are unavoidable, so Li Xiang is I want to establish my authority. If I don't shock you ghosts and snake gods, I will face countless troubles in the future.

"That's sheer nonsense. The head of my family and the emperor were in the Jinluan Palace that day..."

Cui Yuncheng flicked his sleeves and began to tell the story of that day in front of everyone. This was indeed a shame for all the royal family.

So what if your Li family becomes the emperor? If the heads of the five surnamed Qiwang families don't kneel down, you can only watch. If you go to war with them, then your empire will be unstable, and there may be attacks from within at any time. split.

Listening to Cui Yuncheng's talk, many people around him nodded. Although it was a bit unruly, the idea of ​​​​the family has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In the hearts of these people, the Cui family is an unshakable existence.

Li Xiang sat on the horse with his eyes closed, and let this guy talk for nearly five or six minutes before he explained clearly the situation of the day. It was simply that the emperor allowed their family head to sit together, which meant that they were on equal footing with the royal family. , of course they didn’t say that, but that’s what they meant.

When Cui Yuncheng talked about his excitement, he was already a little ecstatic, as if he was a bit quarrelsome with other scholars, but now Li Xiang is the only one who can't express himself. At this moment, he looked at Li Xiang with victorious eyes, wishing that Li Xiang Immediately dismount and apologize.

"So what? The lonely king still wants you to kneel down."

To everyone's surprise, Li Xiang opened his eyes and said nothing else. Just one sentence showed his kingly demeanor.

The common people suddenly felt that Cui Yuncheng was like a clown. He had been talking for a long time but did not change the situation on the court. Our little prince had not spoken and he had already won in terms of momentum.

"Why do you have that? Do you have the emperor's decree?"

Cui Yuncheng was a little frustrated. He spent a long time explaining the truth, just like building a high-rise building. Now he was about to succeed, but Li Xiang said that his high-rise building was against the rules.

"The solitary king does not have the emperor's imperial edict, but the solitary king has never heard the emperor promulgate an imperial edict. The children of your Cui family can be equal to the solitary king. If the solitary king has any reason, it is that we, the Li family, can be called solitary. Can you, the Cui family, do it?"

The whole place was so silent that you could hear the sound of a pin dropping...
