Second minister and thief

"Chu Jiushang...Chu Jiushang!!! You, do you really think that I can't bear to throw you into the prison? I'm even willing to part with my own son, so why not?"

"I have self-knowledge, and I never thought so. Today's troubles like this are not what I want. Don't you understand? What I do and say is for Da Qier."

"You..." Emperor Wu'an carefully looked at the young man under his rank, seeing his firm eyes with clear edges and corners, he suddenly realized that some things were out of control from the moment he decided to marry him up.He slowly looked around again, and found that more than half of the Zhizhengtang, which is known for its "justice", had already twisted its own rope, and the rest of the ones who did not speak were mostly useless waste, or simply had nothing to do with Chu. Linqiu is on good terms with each other, so it is inconvenient to say more without getting the "message".

The emperor originally wanted them to fight each other in many ways and maintain a delicate balance, but at this time he had to ask himself: Really... did they all do it wrong?

"Chu Jiushang, I'll ask you again, do you really want to go to prison and wait for interrogation?"

"Since it is to give an explanation to Mr. Song and his colleagues, this prison... naturally has to go." Chu Linqiu said that he was giving an explanation to the "Prime Minister", not thousands of soldiers and people, which implied The meaning is very obvious, that is, "I am temporarily compromising, just to block your mouth, as for justice, it is at your own discretion."

"Jiu Shang! No! You can't go in." Xiao Cen put his arms around Chu Linqiu's shoulders, hugged him tightly, and then asked loudly, "Your Majesty! Do you really want to kill him? He is like this!" How can my body..."

"Master Hou! Stop talking..."

"How can you not say it? If you stay in that damp and cold place, within a day, the cold air will enter your body and cause the root cause of the disease. If it is about the seizure of battle reports..." Xiao Cen rolled his eyes twice, thinking Then he began to come alive, he straightened his back suddenly, looked around

He opened the mouth and said, "Master Prime Minister did it too. Does His Majesty want to treat everyone equally? Take his black hair and seal letter, and put him in prison too?"

"Master Xiao! You!"

"If Mr. Song also enters the court for interrogation, then Benhou will naturally have nothing to say."

"Lawless...it's lawless...Your Majesty! Please make the decision for your ministers!" The prime minister led several people standing behind him, and knelt down in the middle of the hall a few steps forward. Lean forward and bury your head deeply.

The Son of Heaven also regained his composure at this time, he stared at these people under the steps like a torch, his expressions kept changing, and he was a little hesitant.

No matter who these two were, he didn't want to be sent to prison, but each of them forced him in such a decisive way.Emperor Jingyuan hated secretly in his heart, but he was helpless.

At this moment, Yan Zheng suddenly leaned over and whispered something in his ear, which made him suddenly make up his mind.

"Song Chu Erqing committed such a serious crime and had to be punished according to the law. However, during his tenure in an important position, he worked hard for Daqi, worked hard and made great achievements, so he reserved his position and temporarily detained him in the prison of the Criminal Court. Trial."

Hearing this order, Xiao Cen wanted to say something, but was stopped by Chu Linqiu in time, he knew that the "one-character jail" was the greatest favor given to him by a saint, because it had always been the place where the emperor's relatives were imprisoned, Not only single rooms, but also hard beds and brocade quilts.

"As for the matter of the Mobei army colluding with the rebel party, there is not enough evidence, and... we will discuss it later."

"His Majesty!!!"

"Don't say any more, I've made up my mind." Emperor Wu'an waved his hand wearily, and forcefully interrupted Song Ge's next words. He stood up while supporting the handrail, and slowly walked towards the side door under the support of Yan Zheng and carefully. Go, and gradually disappear from everyone's sight.

Without the coercion, Song Gezhi got up from the ground, led the others to Chu Linqiu, looked down at them, grinned silently, and said sarcastically after a while, " The saints are gone, who is he kneeling for? Mr. Chu is loyal and dedicated to the country, and Song admires it. But I don’t know... When the real evidence is presented to the court, will it be returned? as tough?"

"Master Song. Xiao should return these words to you as they are." Xiao Cen replied unwillingly to show weakness. , you have to be careful."

"Us? Jiushang? Heh, Master Hou and Master Tong Zhishu really love each other very much. If that's the case, why don't we go to the Jiuquan and be a happy couple. Wouldn't it be wonderful to leave the world alone?"

"Since Mr. Song likes it so much, why don't you go by yourself." If it wasn't for fear of causing more trouble to Chu Linqiu, Xiao Cen really wanted to step forward and tear his mouth open immediately.Another reason is that he can feel that Chu Linqiu's condition is very bad at the moment, even if he is supported by him, he still keeps sliding down, although his eyes are open, but under closer inspection, there is no focal length.

He was anxious in his heart, naturally he didn't want to fight, he just thought that these people who were in the way said enough and left quickly, so that he could get Chu Linqiu out of the palace secretly.

But unexpectedly, before they had time to leave the gate of the Zhizheng Hall, the Imperial Army sent by the emperor to take them to the prison arrived.

After seeing those familiar faces, Xiao Cen couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and secretly thought that no matter how heartless and ruthless that person was, he treated Chu Linqiu well.

"What are you doing there in a daze?! Why don't you come over and help? Your adults can't leave!"

"Ah? My lord!"

"My lord!" All the imperial guards gathered around one after another, checking the situation of their superiors, and accusing Song Dog of his despicable behavior in the past.Xiao Cen wasn't in the mood to listen to these now, he hurriedly asked Chu Linqiu to help him on his back, and then he carried it vigorously.

Chu Linqiu wore complicated court clothes today, and his weight increased sharply. In addition, he was almost unconscious and unable to cooperate. Therefore, when Xiao Cen got up, he staggered, and the two of them almost fell together. Fortunately, someone was behind him in time. a handful.

"Where's the car?"

"Master Hou, what car?"

"..." Xiao Cen gave the person who answered the question a hard look, and asked in a vicious voice, "Don't you need a carriage to pick up your lord?"

"That... Lord Hou, we have always only had the prison car to pick up serious offenders, and they all went outside the palace... We have to walk this distance!"

"Re-offender? Prison car? Do you dare to say it again in front of your adults?"

"This this......"

"Master Hou, don't blame him. Put me down and go by yourself."

"Jiu Shang? Have you slowed down?" Xiao Cen hurriedly walked a few steps into the pavilion not far away and put the man down, letting him rest on the pillar.
