According to the situation of the country

In the middle of the night, in the dark sky prison, this hair-raising secret atmosphere makes people feel more desperate and farther away from freedom as they go deeper.At this moment, the sky prison was brightly lit, and there were even twice as many guards than usual. It was hard not to attract attention. I'm afraid something big happened to the court again.The cell made of refined iron as thick as an adult man's upper arm is unbreakable. The prisoners in the cell have disheveled hair and smudged faces, which makes people feel pitiful.

Most of the prisoners are now anxiously poking their heads into the depths of the prison, and placing their heads on the fence made of fine iron, they can vaguely feel the sound of "buzzing" coming from the depths of the cell, mixed with the miserable The cry made people feel frightened and frightened.

"Tsk tsk, brother's voice is really cautious. It's so serious, I don't know what crime this person has committed, why is he so special?" Even the prisoners in the prison couldn't help talking in a low voice.

The "big brother" who was still sitting in the corner with his eyes closed said quietly: "The person who can bother the Dali Temple to supervise the interrogation in the middle of the night, I am afraid that he will die and then walk out of the prison. Since he is a dead person, where did he come from?" Prison There was a moment of silence...

The most difficult thing at this moment is Song Ruoming, the head of the household department who is tied to the shelf. The whips are whipped on his body like heavy rain. , is it tears, or blood, and all three may be present.The brocade robe on his body has been whipped to lose its original color and pattern, hanging on his body in strands.A sanctimonious face had already been twisted and deformed by the pain. In order to prevent him from biting his tongue to commit suicide, something was stuffed in his mouth, but he could still feel the salty taste in his mouth.Song Ruoming has always felt that this is a nightmare, and when he wakes up, it is so cruel that he trembles and collapses.

"Stop—" Qin Yangli of Dali Temple waved his hand expressionlessly, and slowly walked two steps forward, standing only an arm's distance away from Song Ruoming, looking at him coldly, "Master Song, You and I have worked together for many years, and you also understand my style, so why bother to embarrass yourself and suffer this flesh and blood." Yang Li came from a poor family, and was a well-known cruel official in the capital. The imperial seal of Dali Temple.

Song Ruoming was in pain all over his body, and his chest was full of resentment. He stared fiercely and said, "It's not that I didn't say anything, it's that Mr. Yang can't believe it. Even if you ask me thousands of times, I'm still the same My accomplices are King Yong and Liu Fei, Marquis of Jirong—one of them is the emperor’s younger brother, and the other is the empress dowager’s nephew. Which one’s life is not as valuable as Song’s? If Master Yang wants to break this I should arrest these two people as soon as possible. How can I be so capable as a second-rank civil servant. Tonight, the two culprits live in the Taimiao. How could Mr. Yang not know? Just send a pair of people Then he can be arrested and brought to justice, and Master Yang's name will surely be preserved in history!"

"Hmph—Master Song, you don't need to provoke me. I have already sent someone to search the account book you mentioned." Yang Li sent someone to send the account book found from the Song Mansion to the palace half an hour ago. It's here, but no news yet.I don't know how the emperor I have always admired will make a decision, one prince and one lord.

Above the main hall of the Taimiao, Lin Xuan was a little dazed after listening to the imperial decree read by General Hushi. He was suspected of selling new examination questions, forming a party for personal gain, and destroying the country?This crime is not a little serious. Lin Xuan was so confused that he looked at Liu Fei, Marquis of Ji Rong, and then at the imperial decree in Tian Hui's hand. He frowned puzzled, "General Tian, ​​was there a misunderstanding during this period? Hou has never left the Ancestral Temple, and he has never seen the new examination questions." Lin Xuan pointed to the gold plaque on the main hall, "The test questions are still on the main hall, and the seal has not been lifted. The general will know when he removes it."

"Reporting to the lord, I was only following orders, and I also invited the lord and Hou Ye to visit the Dali Temple." Tian Hui clasped his fists and said respectfully.He never thought that his unintentional discovery would be so widely involved, but he still can't believe that King Yong and Marquis Ji Rong are involved.No one in the world knows that Ji Ronghou has the world in mind, and he devoted himself to the emperor until he died.Even though King Yong is young, he has a high position and authority, so why take risks?I really can't figure it out, can't figure it out.

Marquis Ji Rong knelt on the ground, respectfully kowtowed three times to the emperors of all dynasties, then stood up with a flick of his sleeves, and walked towards the door without looking back, with the momentum of a strong man breaking his wrist.Lin Xuan didn't have time to ask each other, so he flicked his sleeves as if discouraged, so he had to follow. Just after taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered something, and turned around to ask: "——Is there any arrangement for the emperor's imperial examination tomorrow?"

Seeing General Hussar's embarrassed face, Lin Xuan's originally anxious mood was also covered with dissatisfaction, his slender eyes glanced to the right, and said contemptuously: "I blame this king for being troubled. The body of the sin, I want to see how you will punish the crime of the king." Said, lifted up the brocade robe and left the Taimiao hall.

General Hussars was blocked by King Yong for a while, and he couldn't answer, so he felt that he was not a human being inside and outside.What's more, the emperor ordered that King Yong and Marquis Ji Rong should not be punished, they must not be harmed at all, not to mention that these two people are people that the Empress Dowager cares about, this case is probably very difficult.

Tian Hui heaved a sigh of relief, his right hand firmly grasped the precious sword worn at his waist, and followed him.

……

"Bang——, bang——, bang——" the little eunuch in red jumped off his horse in a hurry, clinging to the gate of Prince Yong's Mansion, gasping for breath and banging on the door vigorously. People, taking advantage of this knock on the door is even more disturbing.

After a while, Yongwang's mansion was brightly lit.Dexi hurriedly walked towards the West Wing while buttoning his clothes, and then ordered: "Changan, pay 50 taels of silver from the tent to that father-in-law just now."

Chang An leaned over respectfully, said: "Nuo—" and hurriedly ran out.

"Anzi, Anzi, come back, come back—" Dexi suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly called in the direction where Chang An was running.

Hearing Master's urgent voice, Chang An hurriedly turned around and ran over, his eyes fixed on Dexi's slightly aged but steady face, "Master, tell me, what else can I order?" He just wanted to do his best Work hard to share the master's worries.

Dexi looked at the sky, thought for a while, and said slowly: "I'm afraid Master Ji has already got the news and then rushed to the palace." Suddenly, he turned around and said hurriedly: "Anzi, after you have delivered the little eunuch, go quickly Dingbei Hou Mansion, inform Lord Hou. Hurry up, hurry up—”

"Nuo—" Chang An couldn't hold back any longer, so he ran away with Deling.

Walking to Xinuang Pavilion, Dexi saw that the maids in the palace had already started to move around, presumably Miss He'er had already waited on Princess Yong to get up.Walking to the inner hall, he hurriedly called the maid at the door of the bedroom to report inside.

"Princess, Qianfu. Eunuch Dexi, please see me." The clear voice of the court lady immediately reminded the inner hall.

"It's Eunuch Dexi, please invite him in." Ji Yuejun tried to calm himself down, but his hands still trembled slightly.These few days Lin Xuan was not in the mansion, so he did not sleep well, just after falling asleep, He'er came to report-the news came from the palace, Eunuch Dexi asked to see him.My heart tightened, who else would there be besides her?Although he misses her every day, it is at this moment that he most wants to have nothing to do with her.

"Princess, all blessings."

"Eunuch Dexi, excuse me." Just as Dexi was about to kneel down, Ji Yuejun had already stepped forward to signal for excuses, standing gracefully but unable to conceal the anxiety between his brows, "Eunuch Dexi, Yue Jun just wants to know, you Did you come here for the prince?"

Dexi nodded, respectfully, and replied: "It's for the prince."

Ji Yuejun felt suffocated for a while. Seeing that the always prudent Eunuch Dexi was walking lightly, he couldn't help but make people think badly. He hurriedly asked, "What happened? But did you meet an assassin?" His voice was trembling, but his gaze was tight Staring at De Xi, it seemed that King Yong's auspiciousness was written on his face.

"Princess, don't worry, the prince is very safe now." Seeing that Ji Yuejun misunderstood, Dexi waved his hands hurriedly, it's no wonder the princess thought too much, the prince's recent bloodshed is probably exhausting the princess.Quickly continued: "The news from the palace is that this year's new exam questions have leaked. This matter has a lot to do with the prince and Marquis Ji Rong. Now the prince and Marquis Ji Rong have been sent by General Hushi to Dali Temple for overnight trial."

Leaking the new examination questions is not an ordinary crime. If it is true, let alone the prince, the prince is also guilty of the same crime as the common people. What should we do?Dexi didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence.

Ji Yuejun stabilized his figure, took a long breath, and said just now: "As long as the person is there, it is fine. Let's figure out the rest."

For some reason, Lin Xuan's face flashed across his mind at this moment—so clear.

"Eunuch Dexi, order someone to prepare the car. I'm going to Dali Temple." Ji Yuejun frowned and ordered calmly, but there was an indelible determination in his gentleness.

Lin Xuan, I don't know what this matter has to do with you, and I don't know what conspiracy is involved. I only know that Yue Jun is willing to fight with you.

"Nuo—the servant will prepare the car right now." Dexi turned around hastily and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.Ji Yuejun just said a few words, every sentence hit Dexi's heart, Dexi only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and there was an indescribable taste in his heart, like the comfort he had been looking for for a long time.Lin Xuan is not just a master to Dexi, more often than not, Dexi feels that the prince is like his own child, and when he looks at him, he feels distressed.

In the Chongqian Palace, the huge palace was filled with the sound of candlelight burning, tormenting all the eunuchs on duty in the palace. The emperor had already set off the dragon case twice, and Longyan was furious. Everyone in the palace They all cheered up, for fear that something would go wrong and disobey the emperor, but there would be endless boards to wait.

"De Hai, has Princess Yong gone back?" Lin Jin sat on the main hall, feeling depressed, seeing the sky had turned brighter, it seemed that Princess Yong had knelt in the cold wind for two hours.

"Back to the emperor, Concubine Yong is still kneeling in front of Chongqian Hall." De Hai hesitated for a moment, and replied cautiously.

"Didn't I ask you to send her back home?" Lin Jin frowned and shouted sharply, "Don't you even listen to my words—!"

Everyone in the hall knelt down in fright, "Your Majesty, calm down." Even their voices trembled.

"Quiet the anger, calm the anger! How can I calm down the anger—?!" Lin Jin felt uncomfortable in his heart, and his head hurt badly. When he found a place to vent, the anger in his heart burst out unconsciously, and he yelled loudly, "I can't even persuade the princess!" I will go, what is the use of you!" I just feel that everyone in the temple is an eyesore.

De Hai knelt on the ground and hurriedly said: "The emperor calms down, this servant will send someone to send the princess back to the mansion." De Hai also didn't understand the emperor, he had been staring at the direction of Princess Yong since she came to the Chongqian Hall In a daze, he never said that he would send the princess back to the mansion, so how could he suddenly get angry?

The little eunuch hurried down the steps from His Royal Highness Chongqian, rushed all the way, saluted, anxious and afraid, "Princess Yong, why are you still standing here? Didn't the slave tell you? Tonight, the emperor said that no one will be ashamed." No. Don’t stand in this cold wind. Although it’s spring, the dew is even deeper. If you get sick, even the servant’s heads are not enough to cut off. Wangfei, you should hurry back to your residence.”

"My little father-in-law, it's not that I don't understand the laws of the country and I don't want to embarrass the emperor. The Holy Majesty also knows that King Yong has been seriously injured several times, and his body is not as good as before. When it is rainy, he will get sick again and again, and the prison is humid and cold. How can I rest assured? I I just hope that the emperor will let me go to the prison to meet the prince, and I can rest assured knowing that she is all right." Ji Yuejun begged the little eunuch bitterly, Dali Temple is now like an iron wall, and no one can get close.

"Thank you father-in-law and the emperor to inform you." Ji Yuejun was so anxious that he was afraid that Lin Xuan would be wronged in the dungeon, so he begged hard.

The little eunuch was anxious, and just about to say, "Your Majesty—" he hurriedly knelt down again, "The empress dowager is a thousand years old!"

"Hmph—I want to hear what my good grandson has to say." The empress dowager stood beside Ji Yuejun with a livid face, her voice full of dissatisfaction, leaning on a Xifeng pole.

"The empress dowager forgive me." The little eunuch kowtowed in fright.

"Jun Yue pays homage to the emperor's grandmother." Seeing that the little father-in-law was pitiful, Ji Yuejun hurriedly persuaded him: "The emperor's grandmother is kind, please spare this little father-in-law."

The Empress Dowager hurriedly held Ji Yuejun's hand, and the tentacles were completely cold. She looked at Ji Yuejun's eyebrows and eyes carefully, and said distressedly: "Good boy, you are really a good boy of the emperor's grandmother. Have you been standing here for a while? Look at this fair-skinned Little hands are cold." As he spoke, he took Zijinhua's hand-warming copper stove from the maid's hand and handed it to Ji Yuejun, "Even if you are young, don't be careless. Women can't stand the cold, and you can't be here in the future. Standing stupidly in the cold wind for several hours, the emperor's grandma feels distressed seeing her, not to mention my stupid son."

The Empress Dowager's warm words were full of worries, and she walked on Ji Yuejun like a warm current, "Jun'er knows, but Jun'er is anxious." Ji Yuejun felt more at ease when he saw the Empress Dowager, although he knew that the Empress Dowager is currently The person who can help Lin Xuan the most, but he really can't bear to disturb this 70-year-old old man in the middle of the night.

The Empress Dowager patted Ji Yuejun's hand to show her comfort, "The emperor's grandmother knows it all, so it's hard for you. Don't worry, with my old lady here, they can't let them mess around."

"Go - go to see the emperor with my old lady." Then he dragged Ji Yuejun towards Chongqian Hall.
