Queen Ma pushed the wine glass in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, sandwiched a few pieces of braised pork that he loved for him, and sandwiched a green vegetable for herself.

"What? Is the queen going to fast again? Do good deeds for Li Shanchang? Zhu Yuanzhang stared at the vegetables in Queen Ma's bowl and sneered.

"Nope. Li Hangong has his own blessings. The emperor gave him an iron coupon for Danshu, exempting him from a second capital crime and his son from a capital crime. What a blessing! ”

Queen Ma deliberately mentioned Li Shanchang's Danshu iron coupon, which made Zhu Yuanzhang feel that he was untrustworthy.

"He is indeed blessed, but if he does not cherish it, no matter how great the blessing is, it will come to naught." Zhu Yuanzhang poured wine on the ground.

Queen Ma knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was telling her that the death-free iron coupon was like this wine, he could drink it if he wanted to, and pour it when he wanted.

The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die.

Queen Ma smiled slightly: "It's a pity, the emperor gave Li Hangong an iron coupon to avoid death for nothing, he is not as good as Xiao He, and he can't enjoy his blessings." ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang pacified Chuzhou, Li Shanchang took refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang, and with his wisdom and bravery, he made great achievements.

Because he was in charge of the supply of materials in the army like Xiao He, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang compared him to Xiao He.

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Queen Ma and said angrily: "Is the queen saying that I am narrow-minded and not as good as Liu Bang?" ”

Queen Ma's face was fearless, and she said solemnly: "Liu Bang knows that his mistakes can be changed, and he did not unjustly kill Xiao He, so he had the later rule of Wenjing." Unlike Qin Shi Huang, all the faults were borne by Li Si, and he soon lost the world. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.

Empress Ma continued: "Li Hangong has made outstanding achievements, but he has never been proud of his merits and is cautious. If he had the heart of rebellion, when the emperor was fighting on the front line, he could have set himself up as a king in the rear, and the emperor might not have the world today. ”

"Now that he is the prime minister of the left, he has been awarded the title of Duke of Korea, he is 4,000 stone old, and his descendants are hereditary, and no one has received more rewards and enjoyed a higher position of power than him, so why does he need to rebel? If he rebelled with Hu Weiyong, even if he succeeded, he would be under Hu Weiyong, would he be able to get more than now? ”

"If the emperor insists on saying that he doesn't report what he knows, it is even more unreasonable. Hu Weiyong was recommended by him for promotion, Hu Weiyong rebelled, he is bound to be inseparable, may he not report it? If the emperor kills Li Hangong, no one dares to speak for him now, but future generations will definitely cry out for him. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, put down his chopsticks, got up and walked out of Kunning Palace.

The mellow aroma of wine was still wafting in the room, but the advice of the contrary ear left with Zhu Yuanzhang.

A few days later, Li Shanchang returned home unscathed.

In the cold winter, Hu Weiyong's case has been tried for more than half a year, and people who are related to this case or those who have nothing to do with it have been brought to justice one after another.

The Jinyi guards still did not stop their round-the-clock pursuit.

After a cursory study of a handwritten letter written by Nong Qingyun to Lin Xian, General Jinyiwei led several lieutenants to hurry to Shennong Palace.

In the past six months, the white terror that shrouded the capital did not spread to the remote Shennong Palace.

The top and bottom of Shennong Palace are beaming with joy, and they are preparing for the upcoming New Year.

Nong Qingyun naturally knew about Hu Weiyong's case. The disciples of Shennong Palace are widely distributed, and what happens in any corner can reach Nong Qingyun's ears at the first time.

He was secretly glad that Shennong Palace had never interacted with the government, and he didn't know any prime minister Hu Weiyong.

The only person in the official mansion he wanted to make friends with because he wanted to get Shennong's whip was Lin Xian. Fortunately, Lin Xian pretended to be a gesture and did not pay attention to Shennong Palace.

When Nong Qingyun learned that Lin Xian was not spared, he sweated for himself.

Shennong Palace does not have Shennong whip, at most it is unable to lead the heroes on the rivers and lakes, if it is implicated in the Hu Weiyong case, the imperial court will definitely send troops to destroy Shennong Palace.

"Where is the palace master Nong Qingyun?" The general scolded sharply, and he held the embroidered spring knife horizontally, showing his determination to kill.

The people at the gate of Shennong Palace were so frightened that their legs trembled, and said, "The villain is going to invite the palace master, and the military master will wait!" ”

"Lead the way!" The general was afraid that Nong Qingyun would slip away, so he was willing to let the doorman go to ventilate and report the news, and the group went to Nong Qingyun's study under the guidance of the doorman.

A harsh noise came into the study, and Nong Qingyun quickly got up and opened the door.

"Are you Nong Qingyun?" The general raised his eyebrows and was murderous, as if he was announcing the death sentence of Nong Qingyun.

"I am." Nong Qingyun was calm. As the leader of a gang, he knows the importance of being calm, especially in front of his disciples.

The general took out the holy decree from his bosom and shouted, "The holy decree has arrived!" ”

The crowd immediately knelt down.

"Fengtian carrier, Emperor Zhao said: Shennong Gong Nong Qingyun was involved in Hu Weiyong's case, and immediately went to Beijing to be tried. Chin this! ”

Hu Weiyong? Nong Qingyun couldn't believe his ears. Struggling to restrain his panic and doubts, he calmly accepted the decree.

"Nong Qingyun, let's go now." The Great General said.

"Master!" The disciples shouted in unison.

The palace master is gone, what should Shennong Palace do? Led by whom? They've never been in this situation before, it's like a catastrophe.

Nong Qingyun raised his hand and motioned for the disciples to be quiet.

"Tie Shu, Shennong Palace will be handed over to you. Tian Nu, you assist Tie Shu in managing the affairs of the palace. ”

"Daddy!" Nongtie Shu noodles are as earthy as the color.

"Master!" Bao Tiannu showed a flustered attitude that he had never felt before.

"Nong Qingyun, let's go!" The general didn't give Nong Qingyun a moment to stay.

Nong Qingyun nodded at Nong Tieshu and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon!" ”

On the last day of Gengshen's year, Nong Qingyun left Shennong Palace.

He didn't know what fate he would face.

Sometimes he optimistically imagined that Shennong Palace and Hu Weiyong were not involved, and when he arrived in the capital, he might just be inquiring.

Sometimes he pessimistically speculated that he might die soon, and the fame and fortune he had pursued all his life had finally become floating clouds.

Between the tiring journey and the trance, Nong Qingyun and Jin Yiwei arrived at Yingtianfu.

Nong Qingyun was taken to prison, not arraigned, and did not see the emperor.

The darkness in the cell was something he had never seen in his life, and the sound of chains and the murmurs of prisoners were the only sounds he could hear.

He lost the ability to think for a while, not because he was afraid of the environment, but because he was afraid that he would never leave this place again.

Nong Tieshu did not follow his father's instructions and stayed in Shennong Palace to preside over major affairs.

She secretly followed Jinyiwei to the capital.

At this time, she realized that her feelings for her father were beyond her imagination, so much so that another voice that often broke into her head did not stop her from saving Nong Qingyun's life.

"If Uncle Wu orders her to kill Nong Qingyun, what will she do?" The question that had been swirling in her mind had apparently been answered.

Saving Nong Qingyun is not a simple matter, because this is not the territory of Shennong Palace.

If you are in the territory of Shennong Palace, no matter how difficult it is to do things, how difficult it is to save people, Shennong Palace has a way.

Now Nong Tieshu can only rely on the strength of others, and the first thing she thinks of is Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu used to be a disciple of Shennong Palace, and now she is a person in the palace. Nong Qingyun was imprisoned in the palace, Concubine Shu should have a way to know about Nong Qingyun's situation, maybe she could also ask the emperor to let Nong Qingyun go.

With a glimmer of hope, Nong Tieshu bought off the layers of guards in the palace and came to Yaoyue Palace.

Concubine Shu has an instinctive resistance to the people of Shennong Palace. Because she was afraid of exposing the fact that she was once a disciple of Shennong Palace, she didn't want people from Shennong Palace to come to the palace to find her.

Like the last time she met Yongmen Guang, Concubine Shu took all the palace maids, leaving only Nong Tieshu and her.

"What are you looking for me?" Concubine Shu got straight to the point.

"My name is Nong Tieshu, and Nong Qingyun is my father." Concubine Shu's coldness made Nong Tieshu a little cramped.

"Hmm."

"I want to beg my mother to save my father's life!" Nong Tieshu immediately knelt down.

"Get up!" Concubine Shu looked out the window.

Nong Tieshu stood up and looked at Concubine Shu with a begging gaze that he had never seen before.

"Your father's business is not easy. Hu Weiyong's case, the emperor was furious, and no one dared to intercede for the criminal. ”

"I beg my mother to save my father's life from the relationship between me and my father in the past and Shennong Palace, and Tie Shu will be a cow and a horse to repay my mother's kindness!"

"This palace also wants to save my senior brother, but ......" Concubine Shu shook her head, and a strand of hair hung on her cold face, as if it immediately condensed into ice.

"You go back, Bengu will think of a way."

"Mother's ......"

"Go back, if others see you, things will be even more difficult."

Nong Tieshu bit her lip, seeing that all the hopes she harbored had come to naught, the idea of robbing the prison arose in her heart.

The night stretched out its huge embrace, protecting Nong Tieshu's adventurous actions.

Nong Tieshu inquired about the location of the edict prison and went to investigate.

The edict is a structure with double doors and double walls, which is impregnable and heavily guarded.

Four officers and soldiers stood in front of the cell door, two on each side of the left and right.

Dressed in armor and armed with spears, they looked like they were facing the enemy.

The edict was held by the most important prisoners of the imperial court, and if anyone escaped, all the guards would face the harshest punishment.

Nong Tieshu picked up a stone and tried to hit a tree near the guard.

The branches shook violently, and the leaves rattled.

"You go over and have a look." One guard said calmly to the other.

The guard ran under the tree, looked at it carefully, and then ran back to his original post.

"No anomalies!" He reported loudly.

The remaining three guards never left their posts for half a step.

"If it's really a world-famous edict, not a single mosquito can fly into it!" Nong Tieshu thought to himself, "What should I do?" ”

A cold hand rested on Nong Tieshu's shoulder.

She jumped to her feet in shock, but held back her screams with her extraordinary control.

"Who?" Nong Tieshu asked in a low voice.

"Me!" A voice colder than a hand wanders in the darkness.
