Zhang Shucheng's frightened body couldn't stop trembling when he heard the emperor say this, he looked like the emperor was asking for help, and said, "Your Majesty, it's not what the minister wants to do, it's..."

Seeing that he stopped talking, the emperor couldn't help frowning, faintly feeling that this matter didn't seem to be simple, seeing that Zhang Shucheng had a look of struggle on his face, the emperor looked at him and said in a cold voice, "You have to think clearly, what crime you have committed, if you don't want to be punished with a thousand cuts, just honestly explain what is the inside story, I may reconsider how to deal with you after listening to it." ”

Zhang Shucheng heard the emperor say this, as if the drowning man grabbed a life-saving straw, and quickly said with a happy face, "The minister said, the minister said, it is the three princes, they are all instructed by the three princes, the minister is just acting on orders, please let the emperor let the minister go, the minister does not want to be punished by a thousand knives." ”

The emperor's face changed when he heard Zhang Shucheng say this, and he said in disbelief: "Zhang Shucheng, do you know what this statement represents, if you think about it clearly and repeat it, who instructed you to do this, if there is half a lie, I will immediately ask someone to pull you out for execution." ”

Zhang Shucheng heard the emperor say this, and hurriedly said, "The minister doesn't dare to speak, it's really the third prince."

Seeing that the emperor still didn't believe it, Zhang Shucheng was very impatient in his heart, and he didn't know how to make the emperor believe in himself, when he suddenly remembered something, so he said again, "By the way, the minister has evidence, the three princes previously gave the minister's letter to the minister, just in case it is still kept, if the emperor does not believe it, the minister will take out the letter."

After hearing this, the emperor hurriedly asked, "Where is the letter, take it out quickly."

When Zhang Shucheng heard the emperor say this, he was overjoyed and said, "The minister is afraid of losing it, so he has been hiding it in the minister's shoes, and the minister will take it out." ”

When the emperor heard him say that he was hiding in his shoes, he couldn't help frowning, and then raised his hand in disgust and asked the two jailers who were holding him to let go of Zhang Shucheng and let him take out the letter himself.

After Zhang Shucheng was released without help, his body fell to the ground as soon as he became weak, and of course he was free.

After gaining freedom, he didn't care about the injuries on his body, got up and sat down with difficulty, and then took off his shoes with great difficulty, took out the insole, looked up and smiled at the emperor, and then tore the insole, and took out a thing wrapped in oiled paper from the gap and handed it to the emperor.

The emperor frowned and looked at the package of things handed over by Zhang Shucheng, and he didn't pick it up, and he didn't pick it up.

After the eunuch beside the emperor saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to take the things in Zhang Shucheng's hand, and then opened the oil paper outside, and it was indeed a letter inside, he opened the envelope again, took out the letter inside and handed it to the emperor.

At this point, the emperor reached out and took the letter from the eunuch's hand with satisfaction.

Before opening the letter, he took a deep breath, and then spit it out gently, feeling that his mood was almost adjusted, and then he slowly opened the letter.

As the letter paper was opened, the familiar handwriting came into his eyes little by little, and the more the emperor looked down, the more ugly his face became, and after gritting his teeth and reading it, he was silent for a while before slowly folding the letter and putting it in his sleeve.

This letter, as Zhang Shucheng said, was written by Mo Yuan to him, instructing him to smuggle grain and grass, and then told the foreigners about the situation at the border gate, and sold the grain and grass to them by the way.

"This is also where he grows, how can he be like this, how dare he be like this" The emperor couldn't help but mutter.

Zhang Shucheng saw that the emperor had finished reading it, and was afraid that the emperor would forget what he had said before, so he immediately climbed in front of him, hugged his legs, and said with tears in his nose, "Your Majesty, you believe in the minister, it is really the third prince who instructed the minister to do this, so you can let the minister go." ”

Zhang Shucheng's pull pulled the emperor out of the sentimentality, the emperor looked down, Zhang Shucheng who was holding his leg, his eyes were cold, and it took a long time to say, "I believe in you"

Zhang Shucheng heard the emperor say this, his face was overjoyed, and he thought that he was saved, and just wanted to thank him, the emperor continued, "However, although Mo Yuan instructed you, but you are not a good thing, in the final analysis, you are not doing this because of your own selfishness, and you are not doing this because of Mo Yuan's promise of your benefits." ”

Zhang Shucheng's body stiffened when he heard the emperor say this, raised his head and looked at the emperor in a daze, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

The emperor ignored him, only pulled his leg out of his arms with all his might, and then said to the jailer beside him, "He will be locked up here first, and when I have dealt with the outside affairs, I will think about how to deal with him. ”

When the jailer heard the emperor say this, he quickly knelt down and replied yes.

After saying this, the emperor left, and on the way out, he kept thinking about what was written on the letter he had just seen.

To be honest, he really didn't expect Mo Yuan to do such a thing, although Mo Yuan did some things too much on weekdays, but it was all for the throne, but what did he ask Zhang Shucheng to do this, is it also because of this throne, the emperor immediately shook his head and denied it when he thought of this: It shouldn't be, because the border pass is really broken, and the Xia Kingdom will lose its barrier, and after the foreigners enter, they don't know what will happen later, maybe they will be destroyed like they destroyed them, if this is the case, what does Mo Yuan want, the emperor finds that he doesn't know more and more about this son。

Not far from the prison, he met the little eunuch who was waiting for him in the transportation room, and the little eunuch saw him, and immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, just now the fifth prince sent someone to invite the imperial doctor, and by the way, go to the imperial study to tell the slave, and let the slave tell you that the two generals, Li Wenbo and Li Wenhyun, have an accident." ”

The emperor hadn't reacted from the previous incident, and when he heard the little eunuch say that Li Wenbo and Li Wenxun had an accident, he immediately thought of whether this was Mo Yan's doing, and he didn't know what the two of them were doing now, so he hurriedly asked, "Didn't they just leave the palace for a long time, how could something happen." ”

"I heard from the people sent by the five princes that not long after the two generals Li Wenbo and Li Wenhyun left the palace, they were led to a remote alley by someone with a heart and were almost besieged and killed, but fortunately, the five princes arrived in time at the last moment to save them. ”

When the emperor heard that he had been rescued, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The situation is fine." ”

"I heard that I have suffered a lot of injuries, but fortunately I have escaped the fatal place, but now because of physical exhaustion, coupled with excessive blood loss, I am in a coma, and the specific thing has not been said, and I will probably wait for the doctor to diagnose and treat it. ”

After hearing this, the emperor thought about it, but although he heard that they were not in danger of life, he was still a little uneasy, so he said to the little eunuch, "Although I heard you say that they are fine, I still don't feel at ease in my heart, you go down and make arrangements, I want to go and see them." ”

The little eunuch answered yes when he heard the emperor say this, and then turned around and ran away quickly to help him arrange it.
