It is May now, and even in this northwest boundary, the weather is starting to get hotter.

Zhu Youjian, who was stuck in the prison car, was already sweating profusely at this time, but his hands were handcuffed and he could not wipe the sweat beads on his forehead, so he could only let the salty sweat beads slide into his eyes.

Zhu Youjian's eyes suddenly felt very sour and had to squint. When the sweat dripped into the wounds he left during the war, he felt even more painful.

Fortunately, he knew that he could not live for three days, so he didn't complain anymore. He thought that it was only one or two days to live, so why bother to care about the pain at this moment?

Li Mingrui was still sitting in the carriage and flipping through the popular "Jin Ping Mei Ci" nowadays.

As a grand Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, he had ice cubes prepared in the carriage, so he was still as warm as early spring.

As Li Mingrui grew older, he even covered himself with a thin blanket, but there were red watermelons in the fruit plate.

"What is Your Highness, King Xin's reaction? Can you curse the current emperor and complain?"

At this time, Li Mingrui asked the Jinyiwei Qianhu Lai Yu who was accompanying him. He was really disappointed as a conspirator with the series of reactions of King Xin Zhu Youjian. He thought that Zhu Youjian would directly rebel with Zu Dale during the Western Expedition, but he did not expect that Zhu Youjian not only did not rebel, but also fought with Zu Dale to the Hami Acropolis at the expense of nearly nine-tenths of the force.

This forced him to invite an order to go to the northwest to personally deal with the matter of King Zhu Youjian.

Just when he prepared a glass of poisonous wine for Zhu Youjian to force him to hostage him in public or make other violent actions, and even directly abused His Majesty so that he could directly execute him on the spot, he did not expect that His Highness, King Xin, would really pay his life for the three thousand Western Expedition soldiers who had nothing to do with him, and resolutely drank the poisonous wine he prepared.

For this reason, Li Mingrui had to continue to change his strategy, so he immediately arrested Zhu Youjian on the spot according to the next arrangement he agreed with his current Majesty Zhu Youjian.

If Zhu Youjian resisted, even if Zhu Youjian received the poisonous wine, he would still be shot and executed on the spot!

Also, even if Zhu Youjian did not resist, if there were any abnormal movements in the Western Expedition Army, especially if Zu Dale, who prevented the court from arresting Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao would still die, and even all the surviving officers and soldiers of the Western Expedition Army could not survive.

But Zhu Youjian did not resist any of his resistance because he suddenly wanted to capture him. Zu Dale, the Western Expedition Army, also stopped his subordinates from his abnormal movements and took an indifferent attitude towards his arrest of King Xin Zhu Youjian.

This forced himself to come up with the secret decree that His Majesty had prepared long ago and promoted the official position of Zu Dale on the spot. Although it was also promoted openly and secretly, it would directly win over the hearts of these Western Expedition officers and soldiers, but it was not the result that Li Mingrui wanted.

Now he asked King Xin Zhu Youjian to stay in the prison car and suffer all kinds of torture. As a result, His Highness King Xin still did not scold him because he was about to die, and even His Majesty did not scold him.

Li Mingrui was a little irritated and couldn't help but instruct, "Observe for two more days! If the letter King Zhu Youjian is a little dissatisfied, come and tell me immediately!"

...

Today is the third day after Zhu Youjian took poisoned wine. Li Mingrui could no longer quietly watch Jin Ping Mei in the carriage and eat iced watermelon!

After learning that the King of Xin Zhu Youjian was still silent and silently endured the humiliation and abuse he had given him by the Jinyiwei, Li Mingrui finally sighed: "It seems that His Majesty guessed the ending, and it's better that His Highness, this King of Xin should not be defeated!"

As he said that, Li Mingrui ordered the carriage to stop and then ran towards the prison carriage himself.

On this side, a Jinyiwei Chief Inspector was insulting Zhu Youjian as Li Mingrui ordered, and even beat him with whips from time to time. Even so, Zhu Youjian was still silent.

Li Mingrui pretended to be hypocritical and scolded: "It's so presumptuous! Who told you to treat Your Highness King Xin like this? I will definitely study your book in front of His Majesty in the future!"

Seeing that Li Ge Lao came to stop him personally, it was difficult to expose Li Mingrui, so he had to apologize and retreat. On this side, Li Mingrui personally asked someone to open the prison carriage and personally helped Zhu Youjian back to his carriage.

Zhu Youjian was a little surprised by Li Mingrui's sudden behavior and couldn't help but ask: "What is Mr. Li doing? I am already guilty. How can I come to Mr. Ge's carriage?"

"What is King Xin saying? Before today, the Lord is particularly accurate to you. If you dare to treat you like this again today, it is the Lord's crime." As he said that, Li Mingrui personally brought Xinghuachun's wine to fill a cup of Zhu Youjian: "Your Highness King Xin, please use it. I just used it to cool down, which is a great relief!"

Seeing this, Zhu Youjian couldn't help laughing: "Well, I've already drunk a glass of poisonous wine anyway, why bother to be afraid of having another glass? Here, I would like to thank Mr. Li for the hospitality!"

After saying that, Zhu Youjian put the poisoned wine into his mouth without hesitation.

At this time, Li Mingrui also laughed: "Your Highness King Xin, please forgive the crime of cheating. This wine has not been poisoned from the beginning. If he really died in three days, wouldn't His Highness King Xin, really think that he can still sit in front of the officials so well today and drink so clearly."

Zhu Youjian couldn't help but feel very surprised, and he suddenly fell into a state of confusion. He didn't expect that the old master Li Ge in front of him would suddenly say such words.

He even suspected that Li Mingrui was deliberately joking, but in his opinion, this joke was not funny at all.

"If Your Highness King Xin does not drink this wine in the future, even if the nobles do not want His Highness to die, Your Majesty will have to let you die. But after you drink this wine, you can tolerate the insults from the subordinates. In fact, in sincerity, you have begun to impress the emperor. It is not that the nobles don’t let you die, but that Your Majesty has already stated that if Your Highness King Xin can hold on to this point, you must not take his life again. You should forgive his guilt and take it back to the capital immediately!"

As Li Mingrui said that, he couldn't help but bow to the northeast and said, "Your Majesty is really wise and is as beautiful as a god!"

Zhu Youjian, who gradually came to his senses, slowly stood up, and suddenly knelt down, knocking his head heavily on the floor, and he couldn't help but choke up, and finally couldn't help crying loudly.

This was unexpected to Li Mingrui. His Highness King Xin did not show such excitement when facing death, but now he is so sad after learning that he will not die.

"I am sorry for your majesty for not killing me!"

Zhu Youjian no longer called himself a disciple, but instead kowtowed to Li Mingrui, who represented the emperor with the courtesy of the king and his subjects.

Li Mingrui quickly helped Zhu Youjian up and persuaded him a few words, but he felt a little disappointed. He didn't know if this Prince Xin was really so pure or too good at acting, so he escaped his temptation again and again.
