The prince is hard to serve

Before long, Yan Wenhao left the palace.

This time, he didn't bring any accompanying officials, but went to the Dali Temple prison by himself, with only Fuquan with him.

Ordinary prisoners are held in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice or in the cells of the Yin of the Jingzhao Mansion. Only officials or relatives of the emperor who have committed crimes will be imprisoned in Dali Temple.

For example Feng Chu, such as Li Zezhang.

Since they mainly detain court officials or relatives of the emperor, the prison cells in Dali Temple were built with great care. When people walked in, although they could still feel a gloomy and cold atmosphere, the environment inside the cells was considered very good. Not noisy, not dirty and smelly.

Prison Prime Minister Wang Yong had already received the notification from his superiors, knowing that Yan Wenhao would come today, so at this moment, he led two jailers, respectfully standing at the door of the cell.

After waiting for a stick of incense, Wang Yong saw a very ordinary sedan chair stop, and a short while later, a young man opened the curtain of the sedan chair and came out.

After seeing the other party clearly, Prisoner greeted him personally, and smiled flatteringly: "My humble minister Wang Yong, I have seen Your Highness."

It was Yan Wenhao who came.

In fact, Wang Yong has never met Yan Wenhao, he is just a small prisoner, from the official rank of ninth rank, he can't even touch the palace gate, let alone meet the prince and grandson, but he has always been the best at seeing people, The pair of eyes are especially powerful. Fuquan has been a eunuch for more than [-] years, and his gestures have been finalized. Even other people can see the difference, let alone him.

With the eunuchs following him and thinking of the prince coming, Wang Yong recognized Yan Wenhao's identity at a glance.

"Get up." Nodding, Yan Wenhao said with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, "Please, Mr. Wang, show me the way."

"Your Highness is serious."

Wang Yong was a little surprised. As the Prisoner of Dali Temple, he had naturally met many princes and ministers.Even in prison, these princes and ministers still have their eyes high above the top, and they are very disdainful to them jailers, even the corners of their eyes are stingy. No one is like Yan Wenhao, despite his high status, he treats him like this. Ninth-rank petty officials are polite, even amiable.

Wang Yong couldn't help feeling fond of Yan Wenhao in his heart. He lowered his head and said respectfully, "Your Highness, please come with me. The former Minister of Rites is currently being imprisoned in Cell C."

The cells of Dali Temple are arranged according to the order of the heavenly stems and earthly branches, such as "A, B, C, D". In the beginning, it was the officials of the DPRK and China who were imprisoned, and they went down in order according to their rank.

As for the two prison cells 'A' and 'B', after Emperor Yan succeeded to the throne, no one was ever imprisoned again.

Walking along the somewhat gloomy corridor, and turning a few more turns, Wang Yong was always respectful, and occasionally reminded him in a low voice to watch his feet, and just like that, he took Yan Wenhao all the way to Cell C.

"Your Highness, Master Li is being held here."

Wang Yong bowed, cupped his hands and finished speaking, then saluted Yan Wenhao politely, then he raised his head and winked at the guards around him, and soon he led the guards back first go down.

After Wang Yong and all the guards around him left, Fu Quan bowed politely to Yan Wenhao, and then consciously walked a little further away, going outside to guard otherwise others would come in.

After a while, there were only Yan Wenhao and Li Zezhang left here, because there were no other prisoners in the other two cells on the left and the right.

Standing in place for a while, Yan Wenhao glanced across the dark prison, and after a moment of silence, he slowly walked towards the cell where Li Zezhang was being held. He stood outside the prison door and entered through the doorposts. look.

After watching for a while, Li Zezhang was sitting motionless in the cell with his back turned to him. After a long time, Yan Wenhao called him lightly.

"Master Li."

Hearing the sound, Li Zezhang opened his eyes, and he slowly turned around to look at the person coming. Against the light, when he saw the person standing outside the cell, his pupils shrank, and he was stunned for a moment: "You..." Realizing who the person in front of him was, he suddenly stopped what he was going to say, and called out tentatively, "Second Highness?

Taking a full view of his reaction, Yan Wenhao couldn't help feeling a little bit puzzled, but on the surface, he didn't show it at all, but smiled gently, and replied softly, "It's me."

I looked Li Zezhang up and down for a while, and saw that apart from his haggard face, tired eyes, and lack of vigor like before, there was nothing wrong with him, and he didn't have any scars on his body. Yan Wenhao chuckled lightly, and then said: " It seems that Master Li can live a very good life even if he is in prison."

In fact, during the time Li Zezhang was imprisoned in Dali Temple, no one came to interrogate him, and Emperor Yan's attitude was unknown, he just dismissed him, but he did not convict him for a long time. Naturally, Wang Yong did not dare to treat him badly. , he was provided with delicious food and drink every day, except that he could not be released from prison, the other treatment was excellent.

There was a bit of doubt hidden in his eyes, Li Zezhang looked carefully at Yan Wenhao in front of him, and couldn't help frowning, his mind was spinning all over the place, but he couldn't figure out what Yan Wenhao meant, and why he came here Prison of Dali Temple.

What's more, he was obviously poisoned very deeply, and there is no cure for that strange poison. He should be terminally ill now, so how could he look so healthy?

The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became, and Li Zezhang vaguely had a bold guess in his heart.

Seeing him silent and frowning, Yan Wenhao couldn't help sneering in his heart, then took another step forward, smiled at him, and asked, "Master Li is guessing that I'm here?" What is it for?"

After a pause, Yan Wenhao shook his head, and said regretfully: "Master Li is now in prison, with no eyes and ears, I'm afraid he can't guess."

The corners of his lips curled up, and before Li Zezhang could make any response, Yan Wenhao spoke again and told him directly: "Father has ordered me to preside over your case, but I came to you today for the purpose of not About your favoritism case, but for another case."

Hearing that Yan Wenhao was going to preside over his own case, Li Zezhang was startled, and his bad premonition became stronger. He looked at Yan Wenhao carefully for a long time, with complicated eyes.

After a while, he looked away, and at the same time he was shocked to find that he couldn't see through Yan Wenhao!

With a twitch of his eyelids, Li Zezhang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and his heart was even more horrified, feeling a deep chill——

If Yan Wenhao's poison had already been cured, then when did he get rid of the poison, and how long did he pretend to be sick, and what was he planning behind his back during these times?

Clenching his fists tightly, Li Zezhang's expression was extremely solemn.

After so many years, they actually believed that the poison would kill Yan Wenhao, so that they completely ignored Yan Wenhao's existence for a long time——

Only now did Li Zezhang suddenly realize that Yan Wenhao might be the biggest obstacle in their struggle for the position of the East Palace... a far stronger opponent than Yan Wenyuan.

Even, they have been ignoring it for so many years, and they don't know how much power they have kept in secret!

Although Li Zezhang's face was calm and his expression didn't change at all, he was very anxious in his heart. The waves were surging and the waves were surging. He knew that he had to find a way to spread the news so that Yan Wenzhi and Concubine Liang were careful. Yan Wenhao.

A trace of remorse flashed in his eyes, he should have known a long time ago that raising tigers was a problem, back then, he should have cut the weeds and rooted them out.

However, how could Yan Wenhao not know what Li Zezhang was thinking at this time?What's more, how could Yan Wenhao let him pass the news easily?

The reason why he dared to show his true face in front of Li Zezhang at this moment, and expose the secret that has been hidden all along, is that Yan Wenhao expected that Li Zezhang would never be able to bring any news from now on.

——He will not allow Li Zezhang to do this, nor will he give him the opportunity to do so.

After pondering for a while, Yan Wenhao's face turned cold, his eyes became extremely sharp, and he asked sharply, "Li Zezhang, let me ask you, was the military salary shipped to the northwest corrupted by you and Mu Guogong together?"

Hearing this, Li Zezhang's eyes trembled unconsciously. He raised his eyes, and after meeting Yan Wenhao's black eyes that seemed to know everything, he couldn't help showing a little panic, but he was an official for more than [-] years. Zai, with Yan Wenhao's simple questioning without any real evidence, he would not really be in a mess, and soon he calmed down again.

Concentrated, Li Zezhang's expression was extremely calm, he said slowly and in a quiet tone: "Your Majesty has already investigated this case, and it was decided beforehand. The person who embezzled the military salary is Feng Chu, the governor of the Northwest. What has he to do with me?" Connection? Your Highness, don't spit blood!"

After finishing speaking, he squinted at Yan Wenhao again, then lowered his head, straightened his wrinkled and wide sleeves unhurriedly, and then said sneeringly: "Your Highness thinks that His Majesty's handling of the case is unfair and that Feng Chuping has been wronged for nothing." , is it possible to overthrow it?"

Such a big hat was directly placed on Yan Wenhao's head, and what he said inside and outside, was saying that Yan Wenhao was so bold that he questioned Emperor Yan's decision, which was really disrespectful.

Yan Wenhao looked at him coldly when he heard the words, and after a while, he sneered again: "Do you think that with such a bluff, I will be afraid? You and I both know whether Feng Chu has been wronged, and what he did this time The crimes suffered by the innocent are being borne for whom.”

"If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing to worry about. If Your Highness insists that I did it, then even if I have thousands of mouths, I can't say it clearly..."

Looking at Yan Wenhao with deep eyes, Li Zezhang's face was tense, he snorted, and said angrily: "But I, Li Zezhang, are not willing to compromise. I was wronged and suffered today. Today, Your Majesty will give me justice, and I will definitely talk to Your Majesty when the time comes."

Squinting his eyes, Yan Wenhao looked at him, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Are you threatening me?"

Without making a sound, Li Zezhang also looked at him, his eyes were extremely gloomy, and there was infinite killing intent in his eyes.

Shrugging his shoulders, Yan Wenhao didn't take it seriously, he took two steps on the spot, stopped, and said with a smile: "Lord Li is so confident now, without the slightest fear, but he thought Duke Mu and Concubine Liang would Save you out?"
