Chapter 50 Into the prison
The civil and military officials were also shocked when they heard this.

All eyes were on Chen Yi who was standing in the middle of the court hall. That man who stood upright did not show the slightest fear, not even a trace of apprehension.

It's just that the wind is clear and the moon is bright, and the awe-inspiring and upright spirit of independence from the world, stands alone, unstained from the mud.

For a moment, the entire court hall was silent.

The silent needle drop could be heard, and everyone stood in place, not knowing how to react.

The only one who can maintain his sanity is probably Chen Yi.

All the civil and military ministers had countless thoughts on this matter.

In the end, it all turned into admiration: What a young talent who stands upright.

Chen Yi was undoubtedly a capable person. At this moment, everyone suddenly realized that Chen Yi was also a sober person.

The empress opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

At this time, the guards beside the empress glanced at the empress, wanting to make their own decisions and kill Chen Yi.

In his opinion, Chen Yi openly contradicted His Majesty!It also makes it impossible for His Majesty to step down. If Chen Yi is killed at this time, then all problems will be solved.

Thinking of this, in order to take the lead, draw out the long knife, take two steps in three steps, and come to the middle of the arrival point.

"Presumptuous! You dare to be disrespectful to His Majesty, today I will kick the ground, except for you to warn others."

After finishing speaking, the guard held the long sword and stabbed straight at Chen Yi who was standing in the middle. Chen Yi didn't have the slightest thought of avoiding it, and he didn't even blink his eyes.

Seeing that it was common, it was about to penetrate Chen Yi's chest.

"Slow down, stop!" the Empress said.

The guards stopped immediately. At this moment, Chang Chang had already touched the cloth on Chen Yi's chest, as long as it was a little later.

Chen Yi was afraid that blood would splatter on the spot.

Chen Yi raised the corner of his mouth and smiled at the guard, as if silently comforting him.

The empress came down from the dragon chair and came to the side of the guards. Looking at Chen Yi who still had no trace of fear on his face at this time, she felt a little apprehensive and doubtful.

"why?"

Chen Yi was stunned for a moment, his face full of confusion and confusion.

"Why are you so disappointed in me? Would you rather assist the enemy country than die than serve me?"

The empress asked in a daze, as if she really had doubts in her heart, and maybe there were other feelings that even the empress herself didn't know.

Chen Yi was a little dumbfounded: "You ask me why? Then why don't you ask yourself? Why are you a fool?"

This sentence made the empress regain her senses instantly, and layers of anger emerged from her eyes.

Nodded: "Okay! Then I will fulfill you, come! Send me Chen Yi, the minister of officials, into the prison. I will be executed at [-]:[-] tomorrow. My family will take me down and leave the court!"

After the empress finished speaking, she left the hall without looking back, without looking back.

Chen Yi was taken down by several guards and dragged directly into the prison, but fortunately, he was not forced to confess or tortured, nor for any reason.

In this way, Chen Yi settled down in the prison.

After the empress went back angrily, she sat in the study and got angry all afternoon. Until the evening, Eunuch Li walked in and asked quietly.

"Your Majesty! It's time for dinner, so I'll serve you a meal?"

Only then did the empress come back to her senses, and glanced at the sky outside. It was already dark in the study, and only Eunuch Li could be seen vaguely.

The empress's hoarse voice sounded: "Okay, let's set the meal!"

This evening, the empress had her meal much later than usual, so it was halfway through the meal.

When she heard the minister's voice asking for an audience from outside, the empress suddenly felt angry in her heart. She threw away the bowl and chopsticks, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said to Eunuch Li next to her.

"Just let them in."

Eunuch Li immediately bowed his head and saluted: "Yes, Your Majesty."

After that, he took care of the maids on both sides and removed the meals from the Empress's table.

The Empress stood up straight away and walked into the study.

The empress had just sat down when several ministers, including the chief minister of the cabinet, came in.

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

Several people spoke in unison, and the empress waved her hand casually without much interest.

"Okay, get up, just say what you have to say, I'm listening."

Several ministers looked at each other, and the chief minister of the cabinet was the first to speak: "Your Majesty! I am here to discuss important matters. It is about the execution of Shilang Chen. I think it seems inappropriate."

The empress didn't pick up the quarrel, and didn't say a word, she just sat there.

As if he heard it, but also as if he didn't hear it, he casually picked up the tea on the table, didn't drink it, just played with it in his hand.

The chief minister of the cabinet could only bite the bullet and go on.

"I know that Chen Yi's rebellion against His Majesty over and over again is indeed somewhat rebellious and ignorant of etiquette, but the crime is not worthy of death. I hope Your Majesty will show mercy."

The chief minister of the cabinet didn't know which sentence touched the empress. The empress lifted the lid of the teacup and blew on it.

Then he sneered and asked back.

"Sir, the Chief Assistant, thinks that contradicting others will not lead to death? So anyone can contradict me?! From now on, the Chief Assistant will also want to contradict me!"

The chief minister of the cabinet immediately lowered his head.

"Your Majesty, forgive me! I don't have such thoughts, I just feel that it is rare to see a minister like Chen Shilang in a hundred years. It would be a pity if he died in vain like this."

When the empress heard this, she snapped the lid of the tea and looked up at the chief minister of the cabinet.

"According to Lord Shoufu, you don't have to die as a pillar of work? Besides, is he the only minister of pillars in the court of the widow? Without him, you can't do things?"

The chief minister of the cabinet also felt a little tired at this time, and felt that the empress seemed to have made up her mind to execute Chen Yi.

"Your Majesty! Chen Yi's talents are obvious to all. Although there are many capable ministers in the court today, there are really not many talented ministers like Chen Shilang. To be ashamed, even veteran ministers may not be as good as them." .”

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry next to him heard this, and also stepped forward.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Your Majesty doesn't know that the techniques and knowledge that Chen Yi has mastered are mostly unheard of by craftsmen even in our announcement. Now Chen Yi only talked about the principles of well drilling tools, and there are other things. The method, I believe, Chen Yi will know it all."

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry heard that the empress did not stop her.

He quietly breathed a sigh of relief, brewed for a while, and then continued.
