Infinite Darkness Rise

Emperor Chongzhen walked down the stairs slowly with his hands behind his back.

Judging from his appearance alone, the fortitude on his face is not inferior to any legendary Mingjun.Looking at his demeanor, it is also graceful and majestic, not like that kind of fierce person.

However, his cruelty and viciousness make people feel funny while sending chills down the spine.

"I have my own reasons for doing this. Since I have confirmed your location through the information on Chu Xuan, I am not so anxious. I am the Son of Heaven, why is there a need for haste?"

When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he seemed a little dissatisfied with his rhetoric, and changed his words again: "No, I am the heaven, it is the will of heaven! I have obtained the fortune that the emperors have never had in the past. Why should I be an emperor in my current situation? ? I am the sky."

Wang Chengen trotted up behind him, knelt down on the ground, and kowtowed deeply: "Your Majesty is a holy emperor who will never be seen in the ages and ages!"

Emperor Chongzhen ignored him, as if he didn't care about such praise.

Slowly walked in front of Xu Le and said, "It's you, don't you want to see my niece Princess?"

Xu Le looked at him calmly: "Emperor Chongzhen, isn't it an honor for you to deceive your niece and sneak attack? Put on such a victorious appearance in front of me?"

Emperor Chongzhen was taken aback for a moment: "Who said that? I still need a sneak attack to deal with her?"

Xu Le was stunned, suddenly realized something, and his heart sank directly to the bottom of the valley.

"Chu Xuan said..."

"I caught my stupid niece in front of him." Emperor Chongzhen looked at Xu Le with great interest, "Did Chu Xuan lie to you? Haha, interesting! Very interesting! You think he did it unintentionally?" Yes, even I thought he did it unintentionally, but now it seems that he did it on purpose!"

"Since you help me so much, I will spare his life in the future!"

Xu Le looked at Emperor Chongzhen, and couldn't help but smiled wryly: "You really should spare his life. I didn't realize until now that I trusted the wrong person like a fool..."

Xu Le couldn't help but smile bitterly. Everyone said before that Chu Xuan was untrustworthy and needed to be vigilant, but he was the only one who believed that Chu Xuan was trustworthy and tried his best to follow Chu Xuan's words.

This is his trust in Chu Xuan.

Just now, during the discussion with Emperor Chongzhen, Xu Le was still relieved that Chu Xuan did not betray him, but was just used by Emperor Chongzhen.He has always regarded Chu Xuan as a reliable companion.If Chu Xuan betrayed, to him, it was basically equivalent to "Uchiha" Zhao Chenxue's betrayal, and it was even more profound.

However, just now, he finally knew that Chu Xuan had another purpose, or that he wanted to kill himself.

In any case, he never thought that Chu Xuan had set up a deadly trap for himself in such a simple way!

Why did he do this?

Xu Le felt a little confused.

Does Chu Xuan have any ideals and goals that he wants to achieve?He didn't take refuge in Emperor Chongzhen, and didn't want to betray himself to gain any benefits, so why did he want to put himself to death?

According to Chu Xuan's logic, if he didn't have enough interests, he wouldn't do it.

Who gave him the benefit?What benefits can he get?

Xu Le rejected these two questions almost as soon as he thought of them.Even if he couldn't trust Chu Xuan now, he could still judge that Chu Xuan would not be bribed in such a lowly way. If he wanted to kill himself, it should be because his existence hindered his plan.

What is his plan?

Thinking of this step, Xu Le already felt a little pain in his head: completely imitate Chu Xuan's way of thinking to think, and consider things as comprehensively as possible, but the real purpose of Chu Xuan's doing this is still the same for Xu Le. It's like looking at flowers in the mist, which seems to be there but not there.

When he came back to his senses, Emperor Chongzhen was standing in front of him and looking at him, so Xu Le stopped thinking about it and put this matter in his heart for the time being.

"It seems that you are shocked. I have experienced this feeling before." Emperor Chongzhen said.

Xu Le replied: "Really? You have also been betrayed by your subordinates?"

"A fool who likes to brag brags to me. I didn't know anything at the time, and I only wanted to believe in that incomparably beautiful cowhide. In the end, not only did I lose face, but my majesty was no longer as good as before."

Chongzhen said indifferently, with a look of reminiscence in his expression, his eyes were cold and murderous.

Xu Le shook his head: "That's not the same. You believe in Yuan Chonghuan, that's because you don't know Yuan Chonghuan, you thought you were the emperor at the time, and no one dared to despise you. So you thought what Yuan Chonghuan said must be the truth, I didn’t expect him to say that just because he wanted to be that official.”

"As for me, I thought I knew Chu Xuan well, so I believed him. I thought he wouldn't deceive me, but I didn't expect him to still deceive me."

Emperor Chongzhen ignored what Xu Le said about Chu Xuan, and looked at Xu Le with interest: "I didn't expect you to know this... I killed Yuan Chonghuan, and the world applauded, only those rebellious officials and thieves who claimed to be celebrities and refined scholars wailed." One piece, in the end, it turned out that these rebellious officials and thieves compiled the history of Ming Dynasty for me, and this thief Yuan Chonghuan gained a good reputation!"

Speaking of Yuan Chonghuan, Emperor Chongzhen's tone also became agitated: "This thief has no talent of Yue Wumu, but he dares to boast to me. Afterwards, he deceived the king and went to Ping Liao, and he knew that he was determined not to do it. When we arrived in Pingliao, we devoted all our attention to seeking peace with those Manchu Tartars, trying to pretend to be Pingliao so that I would not blame him."

"It was he who killed Mao Wenlong, and he was also the one who opened the Tartar trade route. In the end, he killed the enemies of the Manchu Tartars and gave it to the Tartars. The Tartars came to call! This thief is not a pity to die!"

Xu Lexin said that you really have a lot of resentment... After being interrupted by him like this, Xu Le's original anger caused by the betrayal in the primary election also disappeared a lot.Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was talking happily, he simply prepared secretly while talking about these old things that Emperor Chongzhen had kept in his heart for a long time.

"Yuan Chonghuan may be a bureaucrat who is eager for success but ruins major events. What does Lu Xiangsheng say?"

Emperor Chongzhen was silent for a moment: "This is a loyal and righteous man."

Xu Le understood the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty because he worked hard to find out Dan Rou's identity, and by the way, he also learned about it from some martial arts novels.He can understand this way, and Emperor Chongzhen can also understand it, so he has such an evaluation of Lu Xiangsheng who led the Tianxiong Army and Jiannu Nuzhen to death.

Xu Le smiled again: "What did Yang Sichang say?"

Emperor Chongzhen's face turned angry, obviously aware of what Xu Le wanted to say - Yang Sichang was his master, and he had always been regarded as the pillar of the country by him, but it was he, Master Yang, who was the most expert in party struggle.Although Lu Xiangsheng, a loyal minister and righteous man, was killed by the concerted efforts of many people, the person behind the scenes was Master Yang.

If this master Yang is good at fighting and doing things well, then that's fine, but he is a mess in doing things.He went out to lead the army and was defeated. He defeated the last soldiers who obeyed orders in the Ming Dynasty.Since then, thieves have become popular, and it is no longer uncommon for generals in various places to disobey the imperial edict...

Emperor Chongzhen was angry not because of Yang Sichang, but because of Xu Le's smile.Although Yang Sichang was flattered by the faction, he was obedient after all.Xu Le, however, spoke sarcastically, as if he was saying that the downfall of the Ming Dynasty was all due to your ignorance, which made Chongzhen angry.

"Master Yang betrayed me a lot, but he didn't betray me." Emperor Chongzhen stared at Xu Le and said

Xu Le laughed loudly: "Emperor Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen, I didn't expect you to be so confused after so many years!"

A ferocious look appeared on Chongzhen's face: "I'm confused? How can I be confused? What are you? How dare you say I'm confused?"

"Although Yang Sichang was loyal to you, he ruined the country's affairs! How is this man different from Yuan Chonghuan? How much affection do you still have for him?"

Xu Le smiled, waved his palm casually, and a ray of light instantly hit Emperor Chongzhen from an unexpected angle: "Up to now, you haven't noticed my movements, aren't you confused?"
