Zhuangyuan Lang is a spy of Nanpang, and he was taken into prison.

The people did not know the news, but it spread among the courtiers.

Early the next morning, Yin Xian greeted the emperor and entered the Golden Luan Hall.

The emperor's eyes were black and blue, his expression was as usual, like a normal person, even more leisurely than in the past, he glanced at the overly silent courtiers standing on both sides, walked to the highest place, sat lazily on the dragon chair, Playing with the jade pendant around his waist continuously.

Liu Yun gritted his teeth and took the lead to stand out: "The old minister has something to say!"

Xiao Yun said: "Didn't the old man pass out yesterday, and recover from his illness today?"

Liu Yun didn't say a word, but glanced behind him secretly. In the next second, many courtiers came out and knelt down.

Xiao Yun was startled: "What is this?"

Liu Yun said loudly: "Your Majesty! Xie Caiqing cannot be a spy! Your Majesty, please release Xie Caiqing!"

Xiao Yun was stunned for a moment, the cynicism on his face suddenly disappeared, he threw down the jade pendant in his hand, and flew into a rage.

Before he could point at someone and start cursing, a group of courtiers headed by Zhang Yi, the son of Zhang Gongmou, started talking: "Your Majesty, please release Xie Caiqing!"

"Your Majesty, please release Xie Caiqing!"

A large number of courtiers knelt down on the spot, and for a while most of the court hall spoke in unison, the voice was as loud as thunder, echoing endlessly.

A third of the courtiers who were still standing were embarrassed.

Xiao Yun clutched the armrest of the dragon chair, and the veins on his arm suddenly became obvious: "Is he not a spy?"

"Yes!" Zhang Yi said categorically, "If Xie Caiqing is a spy, then all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty are also spies!"

Xiao Yun was so angry that he almost didn't come up, and said with an angry smile: "There are all witnesses and material evidence, how can you still say that he is not a spy?"

Zhang Yi said: "Zhang Yu is Zhang Ninghan's father. It is not unusual for a father to avenge his son and frame Xie Caiqing!"

"I..." Liu Yun, who was filled with righteous indignation, realized that something was wrong, and immediately changed his words, "The old minister doesn't care about the witnesses! The old minister has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he has seen through everything. People's evidence can be faked. What you hear may not be true. Seeing Not necessarily, what you feel is the truth! In short, Xie Caiqing can't be a spy, what kind of person Xie Caiqing is, I can see it in my eyes and keep it in my heart!"

"Yes," Zhang Yi immediately continued, "Xie Caiqing back then defended my father and protected my Zhang family. Without him, how would my Zhang family's reputation be today? I don't believe that such a person would be a spy. When Yongquan reported that, as a minister, I was afraid that your majesty would get angry and kill a loyal minister by mistake, regretting for life, discussing for the world, and leaving an indelible stain, so I spoke out and begged your majesty to release Xie Caiqing!"

The courtiers ignored Xiao Yun, who was trembling with anger, and came out to confess, pleading for Xie Caiqing.

Yin Xian's sleeves were all wrinkled, and the feet under the robe went in an inch and then retreated an inch. After a few back and forth, maybe he felt that he was cowardly and cowardly, or he was thinking of not blaming others. One more spanking, gritted teeth, confronted His Majesty for the first time in his life, knelt down and said: "When the slave is down and down, countless people fall into trouble, only the number one scholar still treats the slave with kindness. If you don’t believe that Zhuangyuan Lang is a spy, I beg Your Majesty to release Xie Caiqing!”

Yin Xian, who was standing on Xiao Yun's right hand side, knelt down, which meant that the eunuch group also fell to the courtiers and stood on the opposite side of the emperor.

Xie Zhe, who was standing on Xiao Yun's left hand, had an embarrassed expression on his face. He still stood without saying a word. Looking at Xiao Yun, who was madly surging with hostility between his brows and lingered on the verge of fainting for several times, his mood was complicated at the moment. Distressed and extremely want to laugh.

He knew how inappropriate it was, so he reluctantly accepted it.

Only he and Xiao Yun knew that Xie Caiqing was really a spy.

Standing at the top, he looked at the people below who came out to fight for Xie Caiqing. After so many years of hard work in the cannibalistic officialdom, he had long been indifferent to the world and was smooth and sophisticated, but he was moved and envious in his heart. .

Xie Caiqing is worth it no matter what, he is a person who quietly moved mountains and filled seas, moistening things silently, even the mighty emperor fell on him.

The courtiers said one by one, Xiao Yun couldn't bear it anymore, stood up abruptly, and said angrily: "Shut up the fuck!"

The courtier trembled all over, trembling like a sieve.

"Are you all idiots?!" Xiao Yun laughed back angrily, "You are so good, you were all bought by him?!"

"Return to Your Majesty, this humble minister was not bribed by Xie Caiqing!"

"Everyone is looking for death, isn't it?! Want to go in and accompany him?"

Xiao Yun's face was livid, and he almost squeezed words between his teeth: "What if he is really a spy?"

"Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly!" Liu Yunxiong said arrogantly, with an expression of defending righteousness and not regretting death, "The old minister dares to guarantee with the head of the item, Xie Caiqing is definitely not a spy!"

Zhang Yi said: "I dare to use the head of the item as a guarantee, Xie Caiqing is definitely not a spy! If Xie Caiqing is a spy, he served in front of His Majesty, why has he never done anything wrong to His Majesty? There must be something hidden in it!"

"The humble minister dares to guarantee the head of the project!"

"Wei Chen..."

Courtiers came out one by one.

Xiao Yun said: "A bunch of idiots! Idiots! He's such a fart! Are you all fucking donkeys?! Did you lose your mind when your mother was born?! Can you all be fooled by him?! Speak for him? Even if he betrays—"

After thinking about it, I seemed to be the leader of the jackass, the one whose brains hit the floor when my mother was born, he faltered for two seconds with shaking hands, shook his sleeves, and left without looking back.

On the way back to the bedroom, Xiao Yun looked at Xie Zhe who was silently following behind him, took a deep breath, and managed to suppress his anger: "Only you are a sensible person, stand by my side, I will give you a promotion, Get mad at those stupid people!"

Xie Zhe bowed to welcome him, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

Xiao Yun frantically walked away at lightning speed, with a gloomy face, scaring and crying several little palace ladies who came towards him.

……

Back at the mansion at night, Xie Zhe took off his official uniform, and asked Zhang Lingwei with a headache: "Is Xie Caiqing refusing to eat?"

He looked at death like home, he was afraid that he would not give in and beg for mercy, and linger on his last breath. Xie Zhe was afraid that he would commit suicide in fear of crime, so he secretly sent many long feather guards to watch him. Forget it, it's too humiliating, I can only remove everything that can hurt him from the place where he lives.

Chang Lingwei shook his head.

Xie Zhe hung up his official uniform, then wondered, "Will he eat?"

Chang Lingwei nodded embarrassingly: "He's still a little picky eater. According to what you said, as long as he doesn't ask too much, I will agree to him."

Xie Zhe Yile: "What did he eat?"

Chang Lingwei said: "Steamed custard with sea bass, the eggs can't be steamed too old, chicken juice millet porridge, chicken juice can't be boiled for too long, no old hen, the taste is too thick, and no young chicken, too light, pork liver and lean meat soup , the pork liver should be cleaned without any fishy smell, the lean meat should be thin but not hard, not a trace, smooth and soft, and the spinach—"

"Is this a picky eater?" The corners of Xie Zhe's mouth twitched slightly.

This is more refined and exquisite than the emperor's.

He even doubted how the emperor raised his wife.

Xie Caiqing probably gave up on herself and wanted to eat something good before dying.

"..." Zhang Lingwei said worriedly, "But he seems to be sick."

Xie Zhe was startled, and immediately said: "Is it important?"

Chang Lingwei said: "It seems that the stomach is not feeling well, and I vomit after eating it. The subordinate has asked the cook to clean it up. He probably still smells fishy after smelling it. He retched for a long time. The subordinate said to find him An imperial doctor took a look at it, but he refused, saying that there was no need to look at it, and his subordinates did not dare to force him, for fear that his bad mood would make his condition worse, but it should not be serious, because he did not eat too little."

Xie Zhe frowned, this was the first day in prison, what should I do next?

"How about the mood?"

"It's very peaceful, very obedient, not noisy, and even smiled at the subordinates," Zhang Lingwei looked a little embarrassed, "I slept after eating, and took a nap, and asked my subordinates for books when I woke up look."

"what book?"

"Just... Four Books and Five Classics."

"..." Xie Zhe was speechless. With Xie Caiqing's talent and knowledge, do you need to read such basic and boring things as the Four Books and Five Classics?

Chang Lingwei's face was secretive: "He said in the morning that he wanted to see His Majesty."

Xie Zhe was surprised: "You didn't tell His Majesty, did you?"

Chang Lingwei shook his head, lowered his voice and said, "According to your order, we didn't spread the word."

Xie Zhe breathed a sigh of relief.

Chang Lingwei hesitated to speak, but stopped: "Master, why..."

Get angry when you say this.

"Your Majesty was already in a fit of anger, and I'm really convinced that those idiots have made a fuss in the early morning. Isn't it hot enough?"

Xie Zhefu has a headache on his forehead, and Yin Xian called him to stop him today, secretly blaming him for not sharing the same hatred with them, what a fool, now that Xie Caiqing sees the emperor, it's not that he hit the gun, the emperor has no place to vent his anger Right now, Xie Caiqing is just laying low and saying all the good things. Xiao Yun has just been cheated, and he will definitely not believe him again. Maybe he will lie to him again, and he has that temper again.

In short, the mood didn't go down, and it was useless to say anything, it just added fuel to the fire.

The two don't see each other well at the moment.

Xie Zhe sighed: "Xie Caiqing is stubborn, I am afraid that His Majesty will spoil you and become a slut, and you will regret it later."

Chang Lingwei was stunned for a moment, and said sincerely: "Master is kind."

Xie Zhe sat down, took a sip, and Xie Caiqing was thinking about the top-notch cloud tea he had found for him in Xiao Yun's small inner storehouse. Jiang Huaiyi's angry face in the Sifang Pavilion in the daytime came to mind, and finally sighed, and fumbled it from the lapel of his clothes. He took out the token and threw it to Zhang Lingwei casually.

Chang Lingwei took it, and said in astonishment: "What is the master's order..."

Xie Zhe said: "After midnight today, His Majesty did not investigate Xie Caiqing thoroughly, did not take the initiative to meet Xie Caiqing, did not kill Xie Caiqing, and did not have any of the three, so you let him go privately."

Zhang Lingwei listened very carefully to the front, but when he heard a sudden tremor behind him, he thought there was something wrong with his ears, so he widened his eyes: "Master?"

"That's right, after midnight, take this token and withdraw the group of long-ling guards from the Sifang Pavilion, and inform Jiang Huaiyi to let his people go to pick up Xie Caiqing and take Xie Caiqing away."

"master?!"

Xie Zhe rubbed the center of his brows: "Why don't you go soon?"

Zhang Lingwei knelt down with a "plop": "I'm sorry, my subordinates! If the master did this, Xie Caiqing and Emperor Nanpang are fine, but you, the master..."

Xie Zhe waved his hand and said with a smile: "You think I'm stupid? If Your Majesty didn't follow the vine of Xie Caiqing until the roots were dug out, he didn't want to find out, because he would have to be dealt with, and the deal had nothing to do with him. Everyone in the world, give an explanation to the people of the world, if you find out, your Majesty will have no chance with him, the only way is to kill him, do you understand?"

Chang Lingwei was stunned, but still stubbornly stood still.

Although they are directly loyal to His Majesty, they were brought out by Xie Zhe. The emperor is the sky, and Xie Zhe is an existence like a brother and a master. One is responsibility and the other is love.

Xie Zhe said: "If Your Majesty doesn't take the initiative to see him, it means that you haven't thought about how to treat him."

"If you don't kill him, you just don't want to kill him."

Chang Lingwei looked up in astonishment.

Xie Zhe said with a smile: "I have known His Majesty for 20 years, and there is no one thing that he escaped for more than a day."

"So Xie Caiqing was arrested at midnight yesterday, and after midnight today, it will be one day. At that time, there will be none of the three. It means that His Majesty has lost the way to kill."

Xie Zhe said quietly: "Then most of the time, there are only three options left: release, imprison, or marry. After a while, when he recovers and his anger subsides, he will always go with one of them."

"If he lets it go, then I will let it go in advance, and he won't blame me for where I am going. If he wants to marry that one, I let his wife go. He has to thank me for letting his wife hate him less." A little bit, thank me for not letting him make a big mistake when he was irrational, and maybe he will give me a promotion." Xie Zhe took a sip of Xie Caiqing's tea and said with a smile.

Zhang Lingwei was dumbfounded: "Then what if it's captivity? You let him go, Your Majesty..."

"You can't put His Majesty first in everything, I'm also human," Xie Zhe said seriously, "Xie Caiqing is very kind to me, I can't ask His Majesty to imprison him."
