Chapter 6: Amnesty to the World
Night, at night.
All the official prisons in Chang'an City were lit up by torches.
The eunuchs, along with the palace guards, rushed into the prison with great force and checked and registered the prisoners.
Regardless of men, women, children, and crimes, they were all ordered to be killed.
The eunuch Guo Sui took the guards and did not go to the court prison, but went straight to the county prison where Liu was imprisoned, and was bound to cut the prince to the roots!
Bingji had already gotten the news.
When Guo Sui came here with dozens of guards in a murderous manner, he saw a hundred armor soldiers holding sharp soldiers, waiting to guard the outside of the cell.
More than a dozen jailers, also armed with weapons and grim faces, stood guard at the door of the cell, all looking at them with fierce eyes.
Guo Sui was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly screamed: "Your Majesty's holy decree, order us to re-register the traitors in prison, and kill them!" ”
However, no one gave way.
Guo Sui was furious and shouted: "Are you going to rebel? ”
At this time, the armor stepped aside, and Bingji, who was wearing an official uniform, walked out, looked at him with a faint expression and said, "Guo Huangmen, it's late, the prisoners have already rested, please come back tomorrow." ”
Guo Sui sneered, stared at him and said, "Right Eunuch C, Your Majesty has an order, I don't dare to delay, please get out of the way!" ”
Bingji stood still, still looking at him and said, "Guo Huangmen, please go back." ”
Guo Sui was furious, and said with a fierce face: "Bingji! This is His Majesty's order, do you dare to disobey it? ”
Bingji arched his hand to the palace in the distance and said, "Your Majesty's order, I should obey it." But if Your Majesty is deceived by traitors and kills innocent people in vain, I should remind you and make a decision again. Early tomorrow morning, I will enter the palace to face the saint, Guo Huangmen, please go back. ”
Guo Sui smiled cruelly: "Bingji, I'll give you the most chance again, get out of the way immediately!" The prisoners in this prison are all traitors, and it is not a pity to die! Your Majesty is merciful, and it is a grace to reward them with a whole corpse! If you dare to stop it again, be careful that I sue you for disobedience! ”
After saying that, he immediately waved his hand to the guard behind him, and said coldly: "Go in!" Whoever dares to stop it, shoot and kill! ”
"Bang!"
The guards pulled out their blades and hugged him to pass.
Bingji suddenly shouted angrily, stopped in front, and said angrily: "Who dares? The emperor and grandson are here! It is not possible for other people to be innocently killed, let alone the emperor's own grandson? Wait for anyone who dares to go further, kill! ”
"Kill—"
The more than 100 armor soldiers behind Bingji suddenly raised the spears in their hands in unison, and shouted in unison, and the faces of Guo Sui and those guards, who were suddenly frightened, changed greatly, and they hurriedly stopped.
The weapons in the hands of those guards were almost frightened.
These armor soldiers are all soldiers who have killed people on the battlefield, how can a few guards who have been in the palace all the year round and have never even seen blood be able to fight.
In this county prison, they only listened to the orders of the supreme governor, the right prisoner Bingji.
Guo Sui's face turned pale, his legs trembled, and he said inwardly: "Bingji! You disobey the emperor's orders and wait to be beheaded! ”
Bingji stood in front, glaring angrily, unmoving, like a rock.
Guo Sui was frightened, he didn't dare to go in, and he didn't dare to leave, and for a while, he was at a loss.
The two sides were at a stalemate until dawn.
In the cell.
Liu Ai, who was woken up, and the others were all worried all night.
Wei Yan comforted: "It's okay, Lord Bingji won't let them in." ”
Liu Yi sighed and said, "I'm afraid that the adults will defend us like this, and when the time comes, Your Majesty will be angry and involve the adults and those Jiashi jailers." ”
The other prisoners were also frightened: "Your Majesty is angry, and we will not live." ”
Wei Yan saw that everyone was frightened and desperate, and was pessimistic, so he had to say: "Don't worry too much, Lord Bingji's righteous resistance this time is likely to make His Majesty wake up, maybe...... Your Majesty is gracious, amnesty to the world, and I can be released from prison later. ”
As soon as these words came out, the prisoners next to him all laughed bitterly.
Xiaodong Xiaoxi's mother, Chen, hugged her little brother and sister, and said with red eyes: "Childe is too optimistic, His Majesty has ordered us to be killed, and tonight I will be resisted by Lord Bingji, I will definitely be furious and behead us immediately, there will be no room for it." ”
The other prisoners were also in despair and grief, and wept silently.
Everyone knows the state of Emperor Wu at the moment, cold-blooded, ruthless, cruel and murderous, hundreds of thousands of people have died because of this, how can they be forgiven.
Liu Yi was already leaning against the wall, looking out calmly, without fear or panic, as if he had already known this outcome.
After dawn, Guo Sui retreated with the guards resentfully, rushed to the palace to meet Emperor Wu, and accused Bingji of resisting the decree.
Bingji asked the armor to continue to guard, and he went home first to inform his family of the situation last night.
The family suddenly cried like a thunderbolt from the sky.
Disobey the holy decree and be beheaded all over the house.
Bingji returned to the prison, entered the cell, and came to Liu Aiji's cell, suddenly knelt on the ground, performed the courtier's salute, and said in a deep voice: "The minister is only the prince who has been wronged, and I wanted to drag this case and wait for His Majesty to wake up." Now it seems that the matter is irreparable, His Majesty has moved to kill, and the minister is powerless, so he has come to say goodbye. ”
Liu Yi hurriedly stretched out his hand to the iron railing, bowed his body and said: "My lord, please get up, my lord's grace, I will never forget it." At this point, we all accept our fate, but it has affected the adults, and the illness has been guilty and deeply disturbed. ”
Bingji slowly stood up, wiped his tears, and said, "The duty of a minister, the son doesn't need to care. ”
Then he looked at Wei Yan, diluted the sad atmosphere, and said with a wry smile: "It's just that I can't hear Wei Gongzi's wonderful story anymore, it's a pity." ”
Xiaoxi stood beside Wei Yan, pulled his clothes and said, "Brother Yan, when you get down, will you still tell Xiaoxi the story?" ”
Wei Yan touched her head and said softly: "Don't worry, Xiaoxi, we will be able to go out soon." After you go out, Brother Yan will tell you a story. ”
Bingji was slightly stunned.
The other prisoners all shook their heads secretly, thinking that this young man had come from a remote countryside and did not know the current situation at all, and sighed in their hearts.
Wei Yan looked at Bingji and said, "Please also help us prepare some clean clothes, if we can have a place to take a bath, it would be great." ”
Bingji smiled bitterly, then nodded and said, "If you want to be beheaded, it's better to leave cleanly." ”
Wei Yan said, "No, my lord, I mean, we can go out soon." It's to get out alive. ”
As soon as these words came out, Bingji was stunned for a moment, and when he was about to speak, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside.
A jailer rushed in and shouted, "My lord! My lord! There is news from the palace that Your Majesty has a decree to amnesty the world! Amnesty to the world! ”
Later in the second year.
Guo Sui failed to kill the emperor's grandson, returned to the palace to meet Emperor Wu, and impeached Bingji for disobeying the decree.
Emperor Wu seemed to remember that the emperor and grandson were alive at this time, and suddenly woke up and sighed: "This is what God made him do." ”
So, amnesty to the world.
The prisoners in the prison are all alive because of Bingji.
And the grace of Bingji's amnesty spreads all over the world and blesses the descendants.
