The atmosphere in the court became more and more strange. The Liao envoy saw that there was no news from the country after such a long time, and he probably guessed that the Liao Kingdom would not rescue him back.But as a courtier, he had to die for the country.His family members are all in the Liao Kingdom, and if any news of his betrayal spreads back, he will end up dead.I can only let out a long sigh, my life was not so good back then, so I chose such an errand.

Although Prime Minister Pan is full of food for one person and the whole family is not hungry, his worries are also very strong. He is afraid that things will go wrong. He gambled everything, won, and is a puppet emperor. It is death.He knew very well that the emperor of Song Dynasty had always been narrow-minded and held grudges very much. If he knew about it, death might not be so easy, so he could only win but not lose.

When the army of the Liao Kingdom assembled and slowly marched towards the border, the emperor Liu Qingye and the others still got the news. After all, so many spies could still do it just to inquire about the news. What's more, so many troops moved, Guang Yang The dust that was raised covered the sky and the sun, and seeing that sergeant, one could even feel the sky filled with murderous aura.

The emperor asked all the ministers who were able to go to the court to go to the court on the second day. The others didn't know, and they gave each other glances in surprise. Does anyone know what is going on? Can you tell me? Get ready, it's just the atmosphere without knowing anything, it's too scary.

But the emperor was watching from the dragon chair, who would dare to move, silently guessing in his heart, if he had done anything recently, as long as he hadn't done anything, if he had done something, he would have to honestly admit his mistakes in a while, and strive to take the blame and make meritorious service.

Seeing the courtiers below standing obediently, the emperor's eyes changed, and he looked at Pan Renmei like a knife cut. Unfortunately, Pan Renmei didn't know that her letter had been intercepted, and she was still thinking about what to do next. How can the plan be perfect and traitorous, and everyone keeps their heads down, so he naturally keeps his head down, so he doesn't see the emperor's murderous eyes and the hand holding the dragon chair with bruised veins.

The emperor suppressed his anger and let you live for a few more days.

Seeing that Pan Renmei's influence in the court is getting lower and lower, the speech officials who were originally suppressed by him became more active. It turned out that they were also complaining, but at that time the emperor did not understand that Pan Renmei's ambition had grown to the point of being uncontrollable, and he was still the same as before. That kind of trust, and Pan Renmei has always performed well in front of him, so the officials' memorials were ignored, and they just thought they were rumors, just rumors. I didn't expect that there would be signs at that time. If it is dealt with, today it will not become a situation where the tail is too big to lose.

The censors started with the most senior censors, and almost everyone’s memorials were eloquent, talking about Pan Renmei’s crimes, such as not being strict with her children is already a minor crime, accepting bribes, etc., etc., the memorials It seems that Pan Renmei is too thick to write about. The officials criticized impassionedly, the tone is serious, and the plot is touching. Anyone who is not determined will feel that not Ling Chi is not enough to anger the people.But the emperor knew it well, there was another biggest crime that should be killed, treason.But not yet.

The dignified prime ministers of a country have all defected to the enemy and collude with the Liao people. They still have hope of victory. At least this news must not be known before the decisive battle with the Liao people.However, it would be troublesome for Pan Renmei to make trouble during the war. That's why those officials made so many memorials. Of course, it was the emperor and Liu Qingye who sent the news to them. It's finally here, how can I miss the opportunity, almost one of them has declined, and all of them have been listed.

How could Prime Minister Pan admit to these crimes? You must know that he really admitted these crimes. Once the official position is exhausted, all the family property will be confiscated.Every crime is not enough to kill, the problem is that there are too many crimes.Some are true, some are heard by the censors, but it’s just rumors, if you hear it, you have to say, if it’s true or not, check it, you’ll know, if you stop it, you’re guilty, that’s it Guilty, that's the logic of the censors.

Although Yang Ye and the others are very trusted by the emperor, they are not able to speak at this time. The reason for the division of civil and military affairs in the Song Dynasty is that they are afraid that the Song Taizu Huangqiao Mutiny will be staged again. Therefore, it is quite taboo for civil officials to manage military affairs, and military officials to do civil work. The matter of Liu Qingye and Qiu Muyi, the emperor is already very tolerant, they naturally have to understand the emperor's painstaking efforts.

Liu Qingye didn't intend to speak at all. You must know that the officials are narrow-minded. It can be said that the relationship between him and Pan Renmei is the same. No matter what, his words will not be trusted by the officials. It is good not to be taken as an insult. What's more, there are so many things, many of which have solid evidence, and Pan Renmei can't escape for the time being.

If it is said that he hides deep enough, then the emperor is his most beneficial shield, but now the emperor who wants his life is the biggest ruler of the dynasty, the emperor, as long as he does not run within the range of the Liao Kingdom, he will be unable to resist for a day The emperor's order.This is the power of orthodoxy.

So even though Pan Renmei was calm and sharp-tongued, she couldn't deny it in the face of absolute evidence.If people don't know, they have to do nothing. When the emperor put the evidence in front of him, he suddenly realized that the person sitting on the dragon chair in front of him was the second emperor of the Song Dynasty. The throne won by his elder brother, and his heart and soul in front of this man for so many years, it is not because he is good at fooling people, but because he has never violated this person's bottom line, his bottom line is nothing but imperial power, the country.But he regarded the tiger as a cat, as his weapon against the Yang family, and when this person woke up, it was time for him to be exposed.

The emperor looked at Prime Minister Pan's indifference from going to court to his frowning and trembling body, but the anger in his heart didn't drop at all.

This is the person who betrayed his trust.He gave him the position of being under one person and above ten thousand people, but he couldn't tolerate people, even prying into the throne.His death must be charged with treason in order to relieve the hatred in his heart.

After calming down for a while, the emperor spoke, his indifferent tone let everyone know that Long Yan was furious, "Prime Minister, you have disappointed me so much."

Prime Minister Pan didn't expect that he would fall on this. What kind of throne is in vain. He sacrificed so much, sons, daughters, subordinates, relatives, but in the end, he didn't achieve what he wanted. It's a great irony.

After being silent for a while, Prime Minister Pan tidied up his clothes and knelt down, "I owe you my grace."

The emperor closed his eyes, "You are no longer the prime minister." Liu Aiqing, send him to the dungeon, strengthen the guards, no one can see him without an edict, and there are still some things that have not been clarified. Prime Minister, no, Pan Renmei, I I want to see how much you can change after all these years."

Pan Renmei was taken down.None of the ministers dared to touch the emperor's sensitive nerves at this time, and went to accompany Pan Renmei.

The emperor immediately asked about the affairs of the Liao Kingdom. This is the biggest thing. The conspiracy of my Great Song Dynasty. Peace talks with wolf-minded people will only result in feeding wolves. My Great Song Dynasty governs the country with literature, protects the country with weapons, and talks about kindness with the enemy, which is cruel to our own people. Therefore, I decided to gather the army. If If the Liao Kingdom dares to violate the frontier, it must let him know that we, the Song Dynasty, cannot be bullied."

At this time, all the courtiers saluted, "Your Majesty is wise."

At this time, even those who had harbored evil intentions with Pan Renmei sincerely agreed. They are courtiers of the Song Dynasty. If the Liao people really succeeded, they would not let them go. Being spurned by thousands of people, they can fight for power and profit, but no one wants to let their ancestors have no peace under the nine springs.The military generals finally had a chance to stand out, and the Yang family did not expect that the emperor would have such an idea.

Then the mobilization of the army began across the country, with Yang Ye as the marshal, Yang Wulang as the deputy marshal, Qiu Muyi as the vanguard, and the other brothers performed their duties, and the huge machine of a country began to operate.

Although the emperor had the idea of ​​letting Liu Qingye take over Pan Renmei's position, he had never promoted Liu Qingye before. As a result, if he was directly promoted now, it would be a bit eye-catching at the moment, so he simply left the prime minister's position empty for most of the affairs. They were handed over to several ministers separately, and Liu Qingye was the youngest and most junior among them, but no one was not surprised.

Liu Qingye has been going smoothly since she appeared, all the way to her current position. According to the emperor, the position of prime minister will belong to him sooner or later, but it is just too much, so they have given Liu Qingye many important things with a wink. After going through it again, Liu Qingye also learned a lot. Liu Qingye admired Kou Zhun very much, and felt that this person would definitely be a capable minister, so after communicating with the emperor, he also favored Kou Zhun.

Many people have thought about marrying their daughters and sisters to Liu Qingye or Qiu Muyi. These two are upstarts in front of the emperor, but it is a pity that no one agreed with their temptations, and they did not say what they wanted. Someone asked She Saihua to tell about Qiu Muyi, but She Saihua also pushed it, which made people wonder why mothers are not anxious about their children's marriage. Woe to you.Upon hearing this, Liu Qingye also found a similar reason.Make everyone helpless.

Soon after, the Liao army brazenly buckled the border, aiming directly at Yanmen Pass.

Yanmen Pass and the frontier passes have long been prepared. Although the Liao army has a terrifying number of troops, the frontier will not be so vulnerable.The emperor's meaning has been known to the frontier for a long time, and everyone is very excited. This is the toughest attitude of the imperial court towards the Liao Kingdom for so many years. Some time ago, they were very worried about the peace talks with the imperial court. You must know that they and the Liao Kingdom are enemies. Deep as the sea.Now, finally, there is a chance to take revenge, and the resistance is extremely fierce.

Yeluxie always felt that something was wrong. Their preparations were very secret, but Da Song's reaction didn't look like he was being attacked by surprise.

But the arrow was on the string and had to be fired. In addition to sending a message to Queen Mother Xiao to go back for a thorough investigation, she also concentrated on directing the siege.If Da Song is really prepared, this will be an extremely difficult battle. What's more, the Yang family army will definitely come as soon as they get the news. Although in the case of hundreds of thousands of troops, one Yang family army is not enough. Yang Ye's reputation, the commander-in-chief of the Song Dynasty will not have others, and all the men of the Yang family will definitely appear. The Yang family is really a nightmare.

Yeluxie desperately wanted to break through the Yanmen Pass before the Yang family arrived, but the resistance at Yanmen Pass was extremely fierce, both sides suffered countless casualties, the city walls were stained with blood, the moat was already filled with corpses, and countless people disappeared from the world every day.The offense and defense of both sides were on the city wall. The Song army desperately repelled the waves of the Liao army's attacks, but they were also exhausted. The Liao army seemed to be restless.

One day Yeluxie saw the Yang character flag erected in the city, and the frequent siege finally came to an end. Unfortunately, the reinforcements from Song Dynasty arrived.

Da Song had really prepared for it long ago, not only all the men of the Yang family were in the Yang family army, Qiu Muyi led several troops besides the vanguard of the Yang family army, they would be the sharpest blade of Da Song, tearing open the enemy's chest.

The war is not the kind of probing or quick attack in the past, but a long-term and continuous war. Both sides fought the real fire, but it was Da Song who had the last laugh.

Who made the national strength of the Song Dynasty better? At this time, the Song Dynasty still had the shame of Jingkang and had not yet fled to the south. Therefore, the national strength was at its peak. When a famine hit the Liao Kingdom, the Song Dynasty had surplus food to support it.We must know that the new grain of Song Dynasty was piled on Chen's, and it spread out, and the ropes that wore money were all rotten.But the Liao Kingdom was a place of bitter cold, and the sudden famine made them panic.

After persisting for two months, Yeluxie couldn't hold on any longer. Yang Ye didn't just defend the city. Qiu Muyi and Yang Dalang often took the initiative to attack Yeluxie. Yeluxie's army even had to retreat slowly. Change the attitude of just holding on to it in the past, slowly move forward and oppress, the goal is obvious, take advantage of the illness, and point directly at Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures.The territory that has been taken away will eventually be taken back.

This war ended with the victory of the Song Dynasty. After the Song Dynasty occupied the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, it stopped and did not attack the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom conceded and the war ended.

END

Fanwaiyi

At the end of the war, the emperor's waist is very straight. Song has established the country for so many years, and his elder brother is not as majestic as him. Although this war is difficult, the fruits of victory can make people forget everything. Yanyun sixteen states , I haven't heard this name for many years.

That was the pain in the hearts of all the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty. It was taken away by the Liao people, but they never took it back. They watched the land occupied by the Liao people. The Liao people ruled there, built fortifications, enslaved the Han people there, and exploited them. Money, but the imperial court, as the people of the world, has no way to help them, and let themselves forget, how painful it is.

After so many years, I never thought that Da Song would have such a day to retake it. That is not only the meaning of land, Da Song is no longer a country that is passively beaten.He is just in his prime, and although he has no intention of expanding, he can still govern the country well, make the country rich and the people strong, and with the recapture of Yanyun sixteen prefectures, he will be the most colorful emperor in the history of the Song Dynasty.How could this not make him happy.

The emperor's state of mind is different now, it is very open-minded, and the heartfelt courtiers have to be on guard, which is too chilling.

A person's loyalty and treachery can be seen from the usual, the Yang family, they are loyal courtiers, and Liu Qingye is the same.And Kou Zhun, etc. Although the court cannot be completely occupied by loyal ministers, there are indeed one or two treacherous ministers. This is called the emperor's balancing strategy. The court is full of loyal ministers, so the emperor's decision is not so important. This was something the emperor could not let him achieve anyway, Liu Qingye fully understood, so he didn't care about the few ministers.

After the results of the war were stabilized, the emperor gathered heavy troops in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. One was to guard against the Liao people, and the other was that the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun had been ruled by the Liao people for many years. It is not surprising that there are grievances against the imperial court. Who let the Song Dynasty let them be ruled by foreign races for so many years?

The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun need a large number of honest and honest officials, and they must not be that kind of cruel officials, otherwise the Liao people will benefit if the officials force the people to rebel.After much deliberation, Kou Zhun, who was still young, was sent there. Although Kou Zhun was much older than Liu Qingye, but he was only [-] years old, and he was still young. Letting him take charge of the government would be a high promotion, everyone knows , as long as he manages the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun for the imperial court, promotion is inevitable, the emperor will never send Liu Qingye there.Of course, it is impossible for one person to do it alone. It just so happens that not everyone can get a position immediately after the imperial examination, and there are still many Jinshi waiting for the opportunity.

After much deliberation, Kou Zhun decided that in addition to his words and deeds, he also had to be non-pedantic in his thinking, so he simply held a literary meeting, convened these people, and the questions he asked were not a subset of classics and history, but real questions. What should I do if I am dissatisfied with insulting the court?

Many people are a little stunned, this question, insulting the court is a felony, what else is there to ask, so, those who answer the felony, to set an example to others, have been brushed off, these people are dissatisfied, what do you mean by Kou Zhun, Even if it is a serious crime to despise the imperial court, what if you don't ask about the crime?

Kou Zhun may not have that much weight in front of the emperor, but it doesn't mean that the emperor doesn't value him, and the emperor's thoughts can be guessed.Smiling and answering these Jinshi, "It's very simple. The selected officials went to Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures. It was not an ordinary territory that had been notified by the Song Dynasty for many years. It had been ruled by foreign races for many years, and the recognition of the court was not enough. What is needed at this time is Analyzing what happened, who wrongly punished who, instead of pursuing responsibility in words, when the great Confucianists preach Confucian morality there, the people there will naturally feel Mu Tian's grace and heart to the court, which is much better than rough methods."

Those people were speechless, and many of them came to their senses and went back, intending to study the situation in Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures carefully, and then find a way to take up an official position there.

Most of the remaining people are gentle people. However, the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are the border, so gentleness is necessary, and means are also indispensable. Those who are stubborn should not be treated too lightly, otherwise the majesty of the court will not be established. Get up, and you will be in big trouble.

Kou Zhun asked another question, "If there are Han people, but they think the rule of the Liao people is better, what should we do?"

The Jinshi who had experienced the previous question were a little hesitant, and there was no unified answer for a long time. Some said it was the same as before, and some said that they should be severely punished.After Kou Zhun made people remember everyone's answers, he asked those who answered leniently to go back.

Kou Zhun explained, "The people are dissatisfied with the imperial court, it may be because they don't adapt to the imperial court's policies, but as long as it is for the good of the common people, the common people will understand sooner or later, so the first question requires gentle means, but as Han people, they agree Liao people, this is betraying their ancestors and forgetting their ancestors. This kind of gentleness will only make them think that the court is incompetent. Therefore, they must be severely punished to serve as an example, so as to establish the prestige of the court. It may not be a problem in other places, but it is absolutely impossible in Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures."

Kou Zhun has almost settled on just two questions, but there are other steps.

After these Jinshi left, Kou Zhun entered a small cubicle. If the characters inside would come out, the restaurant would definitely be shaken. Who is it, the emperor, Liu Qingye and Qiu Muyi.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with Qiu Muyi at first, but Liu Qingye just wanted to attract Qiu Muyi, to show his affection in front of the insider all the time, the emperor saw his toothache.But talking with Qiu Muyi always yielded something, so he listened while covering his cheeks.The two questions Kou Zhun asked were made by Liu Qingye and Qiu Muyi. No matter how big Kou Zhun’s list is, he would not dare to use this kind of bold question to test Jinshi. Of course, the biggest person in the dynasty is here. .

After Kou Zhun was allowed to sit down by the emperor, he shook his head, "Nowadays people are stupid when they read books, and the common people know what to do. Officials who can do things are officials who can be recognized by the common people. Although there are fewer people, but It’s not bad, I would like to ask Lord Liu to help you check your character, so as to avoid those people who fish in troubled waters.”

Liu Qingye looked at the emperor, and nodded when he got permission. He never found it troublesome in this regard. It is the most taboo for courtiers to act on their behalf, so he even handed over a large part of the spies, except for his own development. It is a secret, and it is also a spy who has to stay, and the others are handed over.Only some of them were left on the bright side, and the emperor also acquiesced.

The emperor has already promoted Liu Qingye to the prime minister. Although he is nearly thirty years old, he is not thirty after all, but the officials in the court did not object. From the beginning, Liu Qingye was a miracle. In the past few years, Liu Qingye He has always acted as the prime minister, but now it is just a matter of name.

The Yang family made great contributions in this war, but Yang Ye tried his best to refuse when awarding the reward. It is obvious that the sons' abilities and contributions have long been able to lead an army by themselves, but whoever makes the Yang family have more sons? One, the emperor can't sleep well, so let them all stay in the Yang family army. The number of Yang family troops has always been almost constant, and the emperor is also relieved, but the promotion of official positions is not bad, since everyone is so good , the emperor will not let his subjects suffer, except for promotion and rewards, he also confers titles on all members of the Yang family, only Yang Ye is special. A monument is erected in front of the gate of Tianbo Mansion.

This is a great favor, that is to say, except for the royal relatives, everyone else will automatically bow their heads when they come here.He also gave Yang Ye a dragon rod to beat the stunned emperor and treacherous ministers. Although it seemed powerful, the emperor didn't say that he could give it to children, and the emperor trusted the character of the Yang family.Nephew Ba Xian Wang did not lose his reputation as a virtuous king. He really has no interest in the throne. His greatest interest is to be a virtuous king and leave his name in history. For such a nephew, the emperor will of course reward him generously. Fighting the dragon The Golden Whip is also used to beat down the emperor and treacherous ministers.The Eight Sage Kings were so moved that tears almost filled my eyes.

Liu Qingye is a civil servant, not a marquis, but as a prime minister, being under one person and above ten thousand people is more prestigious than being a marquis.The strangest member of the Yang family is probably Liu Qingye. Although he has a position in the Yang family's army, the emperor let him also take charge of the guards. It can be seen that the emperor's favor for him, Qiu Muyi knows it well. Another commander didn't say anything, the balance was originally done by the emperor, that's normal, if everything was entrusted to him, then he would worry about it, if the emperor was abnormal, what would Da Song do?

The four of them chatted happily in the restaurant, and the Yang family was also very lively. This war lasted longer than ever before, so everyone in the Yang family was very happy for this reunion.Although Mrs. Yang also went to the battlefield with She Saihua this time, they were not with her husband after all, and it was a rare reunion. This time when they returned home, they used all their strength to cook a good table of meals.They all went to the battlefield with She Saihua. Thanks to the care of Princess Chai and Princess Liu Qingye, everyone in the Yang family acquiesced in the matter of Yang Liulang and Princess Chai. Sometimes they would tease them, and they would not be polite at all. For the family banquet, Lord Cheshire and Guan Hong were naturally invited.

When Qiu Muyi and Liu Qingye arrived home from the restaurant, the feast happened to begin.It was lively and lively, making everyone smile.The past few years have passed by Yang Bamei. Although she is not a little lolita like she was when she was a child, she has grown up, but as a teenager, the longer she grows, the more beautiful she is. A bit naughty.She Saihua and Mrs. Yang teased her that she was going to get married in a few years. Yang Bamei became angry and said that her marksmanship was already very good, and she would become a female general of the Yang family in the future.

Everyone didn't take it seriously. Even if the Liao Kingdom invaded in the future, it would not be on such a large scale. Wherever she would be required to go to the battlefield, it would be treated as a joke. Who knows, when the Liao Kingdom invaded again, she would not know how to persuade Liu Qing Ye helped her convince the emperor, and she actually went to the military camp and gained a great reputation.A woman does not give way to a man, and is not weaker than her father and brother.People are not very emotional.

Fanwaiji

In a certain room of the small dungeon, the gray-black wall tiles made the whole room look depressing, and no amount of cleaning could change the undisguised musty smell.The sunlight coming in from the small window is the only embellishment in the whole room.The floor is made of straw, but things like cockroaches can always be seen in it.

Looking carefully, there is a person sitting on the straw, wearing a prison uniform, even if he is unkempt, he can see the extraordinary in the past.No matter who comes, don't move.

Pan Renmei looked at the only small window from which she could see the outside, watching the sunlight slowly dissipate and the night slowly fall.It's been a while since he didn't know what eve is today. If it wasn't for the food delivered every day, he probably wouldn't even remember how long he had been imprisoned.He is no longer the prime minister who has power over the government and the public, and no one will come to curry favor with him.

From the moment he crashed into this prison, he knew he was doomed, and when he died would depend on the emperor's mood.Unexpectedly, in the end, the power and status he gained by fighting for his wife and children to break up and destroy his family turned out to be like the wind, blowing away.The other prisoners and their family members sent them food and clothing, and the worst thing the emperor treated the ministers was exile, so the family members of those prisoners were afraid that they would suffer in the prison.As for him, all his children and relatives died.I thought there was nothing to worry about, but I didn't expect it to be so bleak.

There is no shortage of news in the prison this day. Listening to those jailers, sometimes they know a lot. What kind of adult was caught and beaten by his wife in the brothel? The most important news is the war with Liao.

He knew from the emperor's increase of troops to the border that Liao's idea would not succeed. In terms of lasting national power, Liao might not be as good as Song, but this was not the first time Liao's cavalry Da Song suffered a disadvantage.There were no good horses produced in the Song Dynasty, which is why the cavalry in the Song Dynasty could not develop.But I didn't expect that this fight would drag on for several years, but Da Song did gain the upper hand more and more.

For the first time, he discovered that the Liao Kingdom was not invincible. He chose to join forces with the Liao Kingdom, but forgot that he was not from the Liao after all, so how could the Liao people really help him.In the end, the bamboo basket fetched water in vain.

The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are back again. Although the process of governance may be very difficult, they are back.For the first time, Pan Renmei regretted it a little. If he hadn't become more and more ambitious, but had become the prime minister peacefully, then wouldn't he be one of these great achievements today?After the truce between the two countries, it will probably be time for him to die.

He really underestimated the emperor.

Also, son and daughter.

Thinking of the inexplicable son who died, and the daughter who died of resentment against him, the two children left to him by his favorite wife in his life actually passed away before him.Is it wrong to pursue power? He originally just wanted to earn a huge family business to leave to his son. Whoever stands in front of him is his enemy.Eight Sage Kings, Yang Ye, these people are his stumbling blocks, why does the emperor trust them so much, some things would rather believe them than him.The Baxian King was the emperor's nephew after all, Yang Ye was nothing but a refugee here halfway, if it wasn't for him, Pan Renmei, who later joined Wen, Yang Ye wouldn't have the only credit among the generals.

But, why did everyone help him, even that cunning Liu Qingye, in the end he became a street mouse, and everyone shouted and beat him.

Just close your eyes, thinking that you can't see.But the past is as clear as if it had never passed.It is always easy for people to think too much in a confined space.In the end he relaxed, no matter what, he would die. He didn't believe that the emperor didn't know that he was conspiring with the Liao Kingdom.In the Song Dynasty, people were rarely sentenced to death. Even if the speech officials said too much, they were just exiled to Lingnan, but what he committed was a rebellion, and no one could keep him.

A chaotic sound came slowly.Some jailers opened the cage and threw him a suit that he used to think was extremely ordinary. The jailers looked at him with contempt, "Put it on, the emperor has summoned you, you'd better hurry up, don't let the emperor and all the adults wear clothes." I’ve been waiting for a long time, and I thought I was the prime minister. Once you enter this prison, don’t even think about going out with your whole body.” Turning around and walking outside, his cell is a small cell within a large cell, and the jailer went outside. waited.

After getting dressed, Pan Renmei came out and followed the jailer out of the prison.He still wore a small shackle on his hand, probably because he was afraid that he would escape.He looked at his hands, what are you running away from, winners and losers, right?

Slowly approaching the Zichen Palace, the sky prison was originally in the imperial city.In the past, when he came here, he was under one person and over ten thousand people, but now, it is...

After entering the hall, everyone looked at him with contempt, resentment, pity, and fear. They were afraid that people would know that they had followed him. These people didn't even think about it. All of his things were found out. , What do you mean, there are other things about him that the emperor doesn't know. I don't want to cater to the emperor, but I am terrified of his appearance. I am afraid that these people will not appear in the court again in the near future. Anyone who can't hold on to opportunities has to disappear, just like him.

Kneeling, "Criminal Pan Renmei sees the emperor."

The emperor looked at the kneeling person below, and found that he was surprisingly calm. He probably didn't know that, since he hadn't seen him for so long, this might be the last time he saw him.Resigned?

The emperor saw a trace of deep remorse that Pan Renmei was hiding, but there was no fluctuation at all. If he was willing to turn back when he was given a chance, how could it be the current ending.

After waiting for a while, the emperor asked Pan Renmei to stand up.

Seeing Pan Renmei looking like she was waiting to die, the emperor was not as resentful as when she first found out about Pan Renmei's treason.After such a long time, any kind of hatred has slowly subsided, but this does not mean that he is forgiven, and he has to take responsibility for doing something wrong.

The emperor stood up, "Do you know why I summoned you?"

Pan Renmei looked at where she was standing before, and then replied, "The guilty minister knows that the criminal's crime is unforgivable. I ask the emperor to grant the guilty minister a death and a thin coffin. I am very grateful."

The emperor was still playing his charade, "Have you ever regretted it?"

Pan Renmei thought for a while, "Many people don't feel that there is anything wrong with their actions before they despair, and they regret that they can't bring back the things they lost because they didn't cherish them. As for being alone and having no one to offer sacrifices after death, this is the fault of the guilty minister himself, and the guilty minister can only blame himself if he wants to blame it."

Although he didn't say the word "regret", but the meaning, who is full of people who are full of twists and turns, can't understand it, but they can all hear that Pan Renmei is indeed seeking a quick death.Many people are not used to it. The Pan Renmei in their impression is gloomy and cunning, someone who is at odds with the Yang family.Only those who listened carefully to the conversation just now knew that the pain of the death of their children and no one to take them to the end made him a little more sober.

Since then, the name Pan Renmei has officially withdrawn from history.
