The Hall of Inheritance

"Ridiculous." The emperor said loudly to the two people below.

"Father, I don't know what's wrong?" Nangong Yu raised his head and asked.

"What's the matter, ask my good general what she did." The emperor twisted his head angrily and said.

"Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't know what he did wrong." Yan Rong lowered his head and frowned.

"You say, why did you bring Li Er with you during your office work, you don't know that this is a business matter, you can't bring a private one, if someone tells me, what should I do?" The emperor calmed down and said.

"Your Majesty, it's not just fun to let King Rong follow, it's because King Rong has some help, and in the process of finding the secret room, if it weren't for King Rong, we wouldn't be able to find it so quickly." Yan Rong explained.

"Yes, don't I know my own son, what kind of virtue he is, and he can still help you with your work?" The emperor said with a sneer.

"Your Majesty, Nangong Li is not nothing, he is very good, he is also very smart, he has the ability that others do not have, as well as his kindness, his tolerance, and his ...... dedicated to the Great Apocalypse"

"Yanrong, shut up." Nangong Yu interrupted Yan Rong's words.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you should also know that King Rong did not make any trouble this time, but acted very steadily, helping us to complete this matter, he ...... Not useless people. Yan Rong continued.

"Father, what Yan Rong said is indeed true, and I proposed to let Xiao Li go, it was the sons and daughters who misled the rules and acted recklessly, and asked my father to punish him." Nangong Yu said.

"What about Yan Rong, do you know your mistakes?" The emperor did not answer the rhetorical question.

"Your Majesty, the minister knows his mistake, and the minister should not mix official affairs with private affairs, but the emperor, King Rong is not a gentleman in everyone's mouth, he is also a son who can make the emperor proud." Yan Rong straightened up and said.

"Yan Rong, in private you are the princess of Nangong Li, but this is the Chengxin Palace, a place to discuss important national affairs, not a place for you to defend your husband, you should remember your identity, you are my minister first, and then my daughter-in-law." The emperor said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers obey the order." Yan Rong bit his lip and said.

"Li'er's matter ends here, he will be his prince well, and it is best not to give me anything." The emperor patted the table and said.

"Father, the son understands it, and he won't do it again in the future." Nangong Yu responded.

"Okay, it's time to get down to business, Yan Rong, you go and strictly watch what Chen Guanzhi did in prison, his comrades will definitely do their best to gag him, so they will send you to guard until the execution." The emperor said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yan Rong responded.

"Yan Rong, don't confront your father in the future, especially because of Xiao Li's affairs." After walking out of the Chengxin Palace, Nangong Yu said to Yan Rong.

"What is the emperor, it is clear that Nangong Li has this ability, but he imprisoned him in his own mansion, although he is not like you, but if he wants to gain fame, he must be not bad, obviously our Daqi did not clearly stipulate that the prince should not participate in the imperial examination, what is the emperor guarding against." Yan asked puzzled

"Don't say this again in the future, my father doesn't like to hear it, and I don't know when it started, my father's attitude towards Xiao Li was very harsh and disgusting, once, the master gave us a task, let us make a poem in just half an hour, I remember very clearly, that year, Xiao Li was only twelve years old, but he was the first to make it, and was praised by the master."

Later, when his father found out about this, he took the manuscript of the poem and examined it carefully, and after that, Xiao Li was arranged to go back to his room to teach, and the master no longer asked him to learn too many esoteric things, just literacy. Nangong Yu said.

"The emperor's partiality is really ....... Then he must have felt so uncomfortable when he was treated so unfairly at a young age. Yan Rong said.

"Anyway, what my father wants is to let Xiao Li be like an ordinary person, as long as he doesn't participate in state affairs, doesn't gain fame, and stays in the mansion obediently." Nangong Yu sighed and said.

"Then isn't this like a waste person to him, who doesn't want to get ahead and be admired by thousands of people, Nangong Li is willing to hide behind his back." Yan Rong said.

"Originally, Xiao Li was still a little resistant, and tore all his own books in protest, who knew that he tore up all the books, and his father really didn't give him another one, and then I secretly brought it to him, and then later, Xiao Li completely accepted it, decadent and decadent all day long, either thinking about playing this or playing that, just like a child, he became the waste wood prince in the world's mouth, and his father was indeed the happiest." Nangong Yu said.

"You royal complexity." Yan Rong said.

"Xiao Rong, do you know, since you and Xiao Li have been together, he has changed a lot, he is no longer as muddy as before, he has a heart that wants to be the same as you, he wants to be a hero in the mouth of everyone, but this is also what his father doesn't want the most, so you must protect him, even if it is useless for a lifetime, you must save his life." Nangong Yu said.

"Nangong Yu, if you become the king of Daqi in the future, can you promise me one thing?" Yan Rong said suddenly.

"You say."

"Send the two of us to a fiefdom, and we will live there, and make him his own true hero." Yan Rong said.

"Okay."

prison

"Let me out, sir."

"I am wronged, I am ......."

"Heavenly spirit, earth spirit, I want to go out, I want to go out."

Since Yan Rong stepped into the prison, the people inside were crying wolves everywhere, nervous, one by one, they were in tatters, and they hit the door like crazy, these are all prisoners who have been driven crazy, and they are all officials who have made mistakes before, maybe they will not die for their crimes, but they will also live here for a lifetime, and life is better than death.

Yan Rong went down another layer, this layer is obviously much quieter, this layer is to detain officials above the fourth grade, and the bottom layer is to detain the second grade or above, Yan Rong has been, that place is the most deserted place, but the environment is also the best, and that place is not casual to arrest, unless the emperor personally arrests, the second grade or above, linked to the lifeblood of the country, how can it be relaxed.

Chen Guanzhi was pressed on the second floor, and in the deepest part, a figure with his back to Yan Rong sat down, very haggard, although his body was straight, but he was only leaning on the pillar, feeling that the whole person was going to fall, it seemed that he had already been punished, but Chen Guanzhi's mouth was really hard, and he didn't say anything.

"Is Lord Chen okay?" Yan Rong walked over and said.

"Who should I be, it turned out to be, it turned out to be General Yan, what, come to see my jokes?" Chen Guanzhi tugged at the corner of his mouth and said.

"It's not necessary to look at jokes, I have nothing to do with Lord Chen, so I can't laugh or sympathize." Yan Rong said.

"It is said that being a general is ruthless, and General Yan is really like this." Chen Guanzhi said with his eyes closed.

"The emperor sent me here because he was afraid that someone would harm you, don't worry, no one can harm you before you are executed." Yan Rong said.

"Joke, I'm a dying person, are you afraid of any harm?" Chen Guanzhi looked at Yan Rong coldly and said.

"Since I knew that I would be punished for committing this crime, why did I have to do this in the first place, be your official and train your son, what do you have to do with that money?" Yan Rong asked.

"Yan Rong, you are a family of generations of generals, although your family has devoted their lives to Daqi, but your family has never been worried about silver treasures, and the emperor can't enjoy it for generations of your family, you are princes and nobles, you don't disdain these at all, and I'm different, I've been hard since I was a child, you don't know that even drinking water is a luxury when you're hungry." Chen Guanzhi turned around with difficulty and said.

"That can't be an excuse for you to harm the people, you know that it is very uncomfortable to be hungry, but if you scavenge the people's fat, those people and those children will not be hungry? Your son casually took out five hundred taels and squandered them at will, are you embarrassed to say that you are from a poor family? ”

"Yes, my Yan family doesn't worry about eating and drinking, but when my Yan family army went to the battlefield, they often ran off water and food, at that time, the reinforcements from the imperial court were not there, you were far away from the battlefield, when you were full of food and drink, what about us, not to mention hunger, but also to fight with the enemy army, just like that, one after another came out of the pile of dead, and even many of them died directly, Chen Guanzhi, this is your crime you deserve, and you can't blame anyone." Yan Rong said.

"General Yan, you are indeed admirable, but I, Chen Guanzhi, am already a dying person, may I not be like this in the next life, be a good official, and benefit the people." Chen Guanzhi said.

"Chen Guanzhi, can you tell me who your comrades are?" Yan Rong asked.

"It turns out that the emperor's purpose is like this, general, you are a hero, I don't want to deceive you, but I won't say, I don't want to say, just let me die, everything will be clean after death. Chen Guanzhi said.

"Lord Chen, you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your only son, he is still so young, there will be many opportunities in the future, he is the descendant of your Chen family, and the only descendant, can you bear him to accompany you to death?" Yan Rong said.

"The emperor has already issued an order to kill my whole family?" When Chen Guanyi heard his son, he was nervous.

"Almost, that's it."

"General, I beg you, if you can save my son, I will be a cow and a horse in the next life, I beg you, I beg you." Chen Guanzhi immediately knelt down and said.

"Lord Chen, as long as you say something about the same party or some information, I will definitely plead with the emperor to protect your son." Yan Rong said.

"I ........," Chen Guanzhi still refused to speak.

"Lord Chen still doesn't believe it, your family is not locked up here, but in other places, they don't have such good treatment as you, if those jailers are unhappy, they are not soft to fight people." Yan Rong continued.

"This, general, can you really save him, and the ladies of the family, they are all a group of helpless people, general." Chen Guanzhi shook and said.

"Someone." Yan Rong shouted.

"What does the general command?" A jailer came over.

'Order' to go down, and give an order to the jailers who imprisoned Chen Guan's family, and whoever dares to insult them, the general will be severely punished, and they will be given plenty of food and water, and they will not be abused. Yan Rong said.

"Yes, General."

"General, since your sincerity has arrived, I, Chen Guanzhi, will do the last thing before I die."
