Xu Fenghui stood up and knelt on the ground, explaining to Chu Chengye: "Your Majesty, please calm down. This is not what I meant."

Chu Chengye didn't even look at Xu Fenghui, but raised his hand to pour himself a glass of wine.

He put the wine cup in his hand and shook it slightly, staring at the clear liquid that was constantly shaking in the cup.

"Then what does Xu Guogong mean?"

"Do you think I'm pampering only one person in the harem, and I'm being debauched and immoral?"

"I don't dare."

A chuckle escaped from Chu Chengye's throat, "You don't dare? I think you dare to be cruel."

Chu Chengye did not give Xu Fenghui a chance to speak and continued:

"Today is a celebration banquet I'm throwing for you and the fifth prince. It's a huge happy event, but the Duke wants to make me unhappy. Do you really think I don't dare to touch you?"

Xu Fenghui controls the Xu Jiajun, an elite army that frightened the enemy in the previous dynasty.

When Xu Fenghui followed the late emperor, although Southern Qi was attacked from both sides and lost a lot of territory, no enemy army dared to invade the capital. This was because of the Xu family army in Xu Fenghui's hands.

The late emperor was therefore very afraid of Xu Fenghui, and because of Xu Fenghui, he never dared to neglect Xu Jilin.

But because of this, the late emperor did not dare to accept Chu Huai'an as the crown prince immediately, nor did he dare to make other princes princes. If the day came to make Chu Huai'an the crown prince, he also knew that he would not survive. The end of life can only be postponed again and again.

When the late emperor was on the throne, Xu Fenghui indeed had the idea of ​​overthrowing the late emperor and letting Chu Huai'an ascend the throne. However, he did not want Chu Huai'an's throne to be unjust, so he put pressure on the late emperor from time to time to let Chu Huai'an ascend the throne. The late emperor made Chu Huai'an the crown prince.

But the late emperor kept using all kinds of excuses to shirk the situation. Xu Fenghui originally wanted to force the late emperor to abdicate directly because he couldn't wait for the late emperor to relent.

But before he could implement this plan, he was overtaken by Chu Chengye.

Xu Fenghui used the excuse of escorting him to deal with Chu Chengye, but found that his Xu family army was not as powerful as before due to the defeat of the Southern Qi Dynasty, and was temporarily unable to defeat Chu Chengye.

Only then did Xu Fenghui move forward before retreating, guarding the palace while assisting Chu Chengye.

Where there is life, there is hope.

Xu Fenghui had already seen clearly that Chu Chengye had lived in the vassal state like a puppet before, so how could he understand the open swords and hidden arrows of the previous dynasty.

He is a young boy who only has a lot of force, does not know how to win over people's hearts, and has no strategy for governing the country.

Even if the emperor is given to him, how many days can he remain in power? If he continues to expand his army, I don't believe Chu Chengye can still resist.

It is indeed what Xu Fenghui thought.

After Chu Chengye came to the throne, he made countless enemies in the court. With his behavior, none of the civil and military officials were really loyal to him. He just provoked them a little, and those courtiers accepted them under his name.

His Xu Jiajun appeared to Chu Chengye to be increasingly declining. In fact, he was recruiting troops in the dark, and the Xu Jiajun was actually getting stronger and stronger.

Chu Chengye didn't know this.

Although Chu Chengye was not afraid of Xu Fenghui because he controlled Xu Jiajun, he would not touch him.

Nowadays, there is a war in the border areas of Southern Qi. If he and Xu Fenghui meet with swords in the capital at this time, it will definitely give those neighboring countries an opportunity to unite and attack Southern Qi together.

Now is not the best opportunity to fall out with Xu Fenghui.

Xu Fenghui said: "Your Majesty, this is not what I meant, but it is really ugly to make such a fuss over a harem woman."

"If today's events were brought to the previous court, I don't know how they would discuss today's events."

Xu Fenghui originally intended to let Chu Chengye stop here, but he used the mouths of the former officials to suppress him.

But Chu Chengye has reached this point and has received countless abuses and humiliations. He doesn't care about this matter at all, and his eyes glance at everyone kneeling on the ground.

"Who dares to discuss my affairs?"

Chu Chengye pointed at someone casually and asked coldly.

"Do you dare to tell me about me?"

The man trembled and kowtowed to the ground, "I don't dare, I don't dare."

After the man finished speaking, there was silence in the palace. After a moment of pause, he said in unison: "I don't dare to talk about the Emperor."

Xu Fenghui looked at the group of people behind him and felt that they were useless.

These people were originally brought in by Xu Fenghui to make up the numbers.

Chu Chengye suddenly held a banquet, and no one knew what his intentions were. Now that Chu Chengye's temperament has changed drastically compared to before, Xu Fenghui had to be on guard.

So he found these people. They were all low-ranking officials and did not understand the rules of the palace. Xu Fenghui originally wanted to use these people to disturb Chu Chengye's ears and eyes and let them block him. Unexpectedly, they all turned to Chu Chengye. Show loyalty.

Chu Chengye smiled with satisfaction and replied to Xu Fenghui alone: ​​"Xu Guogong, you see, no one talks about me."

Xu Fenghui replied obediently: "Yes, the emperor is the king of a country. How can they discuss the emperor's affairs?"

Chu Chengye shook his head slightly, supported his head with his hands, and pointed at Xu Fenghui casually, "Not only them, but also you, uncle."

"I respect you and call you uncle, but my uncle is also the duke of the country. The duke must know that I am the king and the duke is the minister. There is a difference between the king and the minister. Don't break the rules, the duke."

Having Chu Chengye say these words in front of so many people was equivalent to being pointed at the nose and scolded by Xu Fenghui.

Not to mention that when he followed the late emperor, no one in the civil or military officials dared to treat him like this. Even the late emperor had to think twice before speaking to him. Now that he was humiliated by Chu Chengye like this, Xu Fenghui felt an unprecedented humiliation.

But now, facing Chu Chengye, Xu Fenghui had to bow his head.

Xu Fenghui suppressed the anger in his heart and replied respectfully: "I have exceeded the rules. I should bear this in mind in the future."

How could Chu Chengye not know Xu Fenghui's thoughts? He had shown special respect to Xu Fenghui when he had helped him before.

But Chu Chengye discovered more and more that some people don't treat you the same way as you treat them well. On the contrary, they leave too much room for them, and they become more and more presumptuous, getting into their noses and faces.

Seeing Xu Fenghui groveling in front of him and being forced to say those complimentary words, Chu Chengye felt particularly happy.

Xu Jilin saw that Chu Chengye hadn't let Xu Fenghui get up for a long time, so she thought about interceding for Xu Fenghui.

I don't know what happened to Chu Chengye today. He was so abnormal that he got angry because of such a trivial matter.

Chu Chengye had been in the vassal country for a long time and did not understand the rules of the palace after returning to the capital. The late emperor did not have much expectations for Chu Chengye and had no intention of teaching him. He was thinking of taking this opportunity to deal with Chu Chengye.

Later, Chu Chengye collided with the late emperor several times, and the late emperor couldn't bear it anymore and casually sent a nanny to teach Chu Chengye the rules of Nan Qi.

That grandma was also a person who saw what others were doing. She knew that Chu Chengye would never achieve anything big, so she just dealt with it.

Xu Jilin had encountered the matter of perfunctory Chu Chengye. At that time, Xu Jilin also thought that the late emperor would not let Chu Chengye stay in the capital for too long, and it would be useless for Chu Chengye to learn this, so she ignored it.

But who knows that things are unpredictable, and no one thought that Chu Chengye could ascend the throne.

Although Chu Chengye was violent to others when he first became emperor, he didn't care much about the rules in the palace.

Xu Fenghui had always been arrogant, and Chu Chengye just turned a blind eye. She never thought that Chu Chengye would get angry at Xu Fenghui because Xu Fenghui said something about Cheng Jin.
