The prison is still the prison, the place where the lives of countless loyal ministers and righteous men have been buried. Dark, dull, lifeless, no matter how dry the weather is, it can't fade away the diffuse mildew and cold and damp moisture. The cage that was once filled with prisoners is now empty, and there is not a single figure in sight, because not long ago, the Battle of Jiuyuan was won a great victory, and Emperor Wen granted amnesty to the world, forgiving those courtiers who had been imprisoned until now for their false charges, and now, the only thing left here is the Wu father and son who started the crime.

The sun has moved westward, and the gate of the heavenly prison is densely packed with the Imperial Forest Army, but the leader is kneeling in place, because of the long time, his forehead has already been densely covered with beads of sweat, but there is no anger in the narrow phoenix eyes; he knows what is the reason for the emperor to hang himself here, he has already prepared for death at the moment when he resists the decree and does not obey the order and leaves the capital without permission, the rise and fall of the world, personal interests are not worth mentioning at all, since he was so determined to re-enter the court at the beginning, then, what are these small punishments now.

His legs were numb, his heavy armor was smothering his sturdy body, and the sweat that flowed soaked the square inch of the place where he was kneeling, and the royal forest soldiers around him saw Mo Han's forbearance and persistence, and they couldn't bear to turn their faces, but Mo Han didn't care, let the sweat go over the corners of his eyebrows, and knelt there without moving.

The emperor said that he would come, so no matter how long he would last! It was his fault that he did not obey the decree, and it was also his own fault that he left Beijing without permission, even if the purpose was to bring down the Wu father and son, he could not erase the fact that he had made a mistake!

"Young Master ......"

Someone next to him called a sentence, but Mo Han did not respond, he knew what everyone was thinking at this moment, many people thought that they had a lot of credit for the fall of the Wu father and son this time, and it was precisely because everyone had such thoughts that they could not let this idea spread and spread, those brothers who followed themselves to fight on the same front, they stabilized the cornerstone of the Great Jin Dynasty, but their actions were charged with resisting the decree for their own personal reasons, if they could not get the emperor's forgiveness, then their efforts, their sacrifices and efforts would be meaningless！

"Emperor—"

The sound of communication was suddenly paused, Zong Ran looked at the slightly raised fingers of the person in front of him, and swallowed the words in his mouth, Li Zongzhi silently looked at the kneeling figure in the distance, and his brows twitched slightly.

It's been more than two hours, and he's been kneeling here like this? So, is he trying to get his forgiveness in this way?

There was a subtle sneer in his nose, Li Zongzhi narrowed his eyes slightly and paused for a moment, and suddenly his footsteps moved towards Mo Han with a hurried expression: "Oops, there are too many twists and turns today, I overslept after resting in the afternoon, what is General Mo doing? Why are you kneeling here? Hurry up, get up!"

A few steps forward to grab Mo Han's arms, he shook his head again with a look of annoyance: "General Mo, is this going to be unwilling? It's all because those minions blocked the Imperial Forest Army who came to report the news, if I knew that Mo Qing was waiting here like this, how could I let you suffer so late." ”

"The emperor is serious, and the ministers dare not be. Mo Han stood up with the numbness and pain in his knees, and bowed his head again: "The minister resisted the order and went out of Beijing without permission, mobilized the Mo family army to recruit the forces of the rivers and lakes to fight against the Wu father and son, even if he won the victory, he was unknown, and now he is responsible for asking the emperor for forgiveness." The soldiers behind the minister are all just following orders, and they don't know what the minister personally means, and I hope the emperor won't blame them, all the blame-"

"Why did General Mo say this?" Li Zongzhi stopped Mo Han's words, and his eyes widened in surprise: "The general led people to fight against the Wu family father and son, but he was not proud of his achievements, but knelt here to ask for my forgiveness, but who can put the word blame on the general, could it be that I am not as good as those clear-eyed people, who don't know the general's heart to serve the country?"

"So...... The emperor is—"

"Not only will I not blame you, but I will also thank the soldiers who followed the general to live and die for my Great Jin, and after Bai Yan returns, everyone will be sealed as appropriate to comfort the people. ”

"Minister, Emperor Xie!" When peace of mind came, the tiredness also came, and the wind and dust all the way made Mo Han's eyebrows appear a trace of difficulty, Li Zongzhi patted him on the shoulder when he saw this, smiled slightly, and said: "I want you to go all the way to the Eastern Capital, Yunwu Mountain Villa must pass through the door and not enter, I will let you go back for a few days off to rest and rest, and when Bai Yan comes back, you will enter the palace together to be rewarded!"

"The minister thanked the emperor for his favor, and the minister went back to see the old and young people in the villa, and when the little marquis entered Beijing, the minister entered the palace again to thank him. ”

"Go ahead. Li Zongzhi let go of his hand with a pleasant face, Mo Han bowed, turned around and went out. When his figure faded out of sight, Li Zongzhi's face suddenly became unpredictable, he glanced back at the direction of the prison, and asked coldly, "Are the Wu father and son inside?"

"Back to the emperor, it's all there!" The guard at the door replied tremblingly, not understanding why the emperor's face suddenly changed, and he didn't even dare to raise his head after he returned, but only lay down on the spot. Li Zongzhi stood at the door and pondered for a moment, and said to Zong Ran: "It's all waiting here." ”

"Your Majesty?!" Zong Ran was a little surprised, afraid that it would be dangerous for the emperor to go in alone, so he boldly said: "The slave should go in with the emperor." ”

Li Zongzhi turned his head when he heard this: "What, are you afraid that I am in danger?"

"Slave ......" Zong Ran swallowed his saliva, and didn't know how to continue: "Slave is just ......"

"It's just?" Li Zongzhi asked rhetorically, and his unfathomable face showed a look of incomprehension: "Yes, I have bowed my head in front of that person for twenty years, and I am about to forget the taste of holding my head high, heh, I still remember the scene when he passed by in the imperial garden, and I bowed my head and let it aside, it was a period of respect and humility, and I will never forget it!" I'm afraid of him, I'm afraid that he won't be able to wait until I grow up and seek to usurp the throne, and I won't be left with the slightest opportunity, and it is my cowardice and concession that will make him get carried away and miss the opportunity, he is afraid ...... now I can't regret it......" A sneer appeared on his lips, Li Zongzhi seemed to have foreseen the expression on Wu Fanzhong's face, he didn't know how that person would react when he stood in front of that person, but he was looking forward to that moment, now, it was time to verify everything!

"Emperor......" Zong Ran's words stopped abruptly, and seeing the emperor's figure flash into the gate of the heavenly prison, he sighed lightly and paused, and stopped speaking.

That's it, twenty years, the resentment and grievances in the emperor's heart will eventually have a breakthrough gap, I just hope that after everything is settled, he can still find the original heart that does not succumb to fate and is not controlled by others and vows to enrich the country and strengthen the people!

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty!"

The soldiers guarding the prison knelt on the ground in unison, and Li Zongzhi did not speak, only looked up at the end in the darkness.

They...... Just locked there, locked in a cage at the other end, I didn't expect that their father and son would have such a day, ah no, I have been thinking about this day for a long time, imagining that one day they will kneel at their feet, struggling to survive, this day has finally come, finally arrived!

"No need to follow!" Raising his hand to stop the soldiers' footsteps, Li Zongzhi strode forward with an inexplicable pleasure, it was a complicated, indescribable feeling, as if he was longing to see those two people, and every minute of delay was a kind of torment for him.

The pungent musty stench came to his face, exuding a disgusting smell, and the harshness of the environment could not stop him, and he walked through the countless empty cells on both sides of the aisle, and finally came to the last one, where two people sat in the two cells opposite each other, and because the light was too dim to see their faces, because of his arrival, both of them slowly raised their heads.

"Lord Xiangguo, don't come unharmed. ”

Wu Fanzhong still didn't seem to have recovered from the fright he received when he entered the city, and when he heard Li Zongzhi's words, he let out an "ah", and he didn't react anymore, but Wu Feiyun on the other end suddenly tilted his head at this time, leaned into the corner and smiled.

"Heh, the king is defeated, my father and son have nothing to say if they lose, if you want to come to see our jokes, just look at it, I, Wu Feiyun, am not afraid of death, so don't want me to grovel in front of you, kneel and beg for mercy!"

"Yes, I didn't want to spare you, so, that's right, I came to see your jokes, to see what kind of situation the Lord Xiangguo used to show off his martial arts is now, and what kind of appearance is your young master martial arts!"

"If you want to kill, you will kill, why bother. ”

"I didn't expect that you are better than your father, and you are so arrogant when you die!"

"Hahahahaha-" Wu Feiyun's mouth suddenly burst into a long laugh, he rushed forward and grabbed the iron fence and shouted at Li Zongzhi: "Li Zongzhi, don't think that if my father and son are defeated, I will be afraid of you, I will lose Mo Han, not you! I think you were just a dog when you were subject to my Xiangguo Mansion! I, Wu Feiyun, have never looked down on you! I was, is, and will be!"

"In the future? Do you think you will have a future! Wu Feiyun, what is the difference between your current appearance and a lost dog! After losing the identity of the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you are worse than a dog!" After forcing out the last few words word by word, Li Zongzhi obviously didn't want to talk to Wu Feiyun anymore, turned around and glanced at Wu Fanzhong, who was about to leave, but Wu Fanzhong suddenly came to his senses, and grabbed Li Zongzhi's clothes and lay on the ground with an arrow step.

"No, you can't go, you can't go, I have something to say to you, I have something to say to you!" He shouted very eagerly, and the hand that grabbed the hem of Li Zongzhi's clothes was also surprisingly strong, and Fang Cai's very cloudy eyes revealed a bright look, and his expression became very terrifying: "The emperor, the emperor - the guilty minister knows that he is wrong, he knows that he is wrong, the minister has something to tell you, this matter, the impact of this matter on the emperor must be extraordinary, the minister only asks the emperor for one thing, and the minister wants to exchange this secret for my son Feiyun's life- Your Majesty, the Emperor will definitely regret it if he doesn't listen!" In the end, he was howling almost with all his strength, Li Zongzhi pulled the hem of his clothes fiercely, but he didn't expect that he made up his mind to die and not let go, and he actually stood up and pounced on him when he pulled and pulled.

"That person ......" he put his mouth to Li Zongzhi's ear, and said hurriedly in a very low but very firm voice through the iron bar: "That person in the Mighty Marquis Mansion, he is a fake-he is not the real little marquis-he is not-he is not!"
