"Wait!"

Hearing a lofty voice, the Jinyi Guard Lieutenant's expression froze, and the movements in his hands naturally stopped.

"Siyun! Fortunately, if the old man takes a step slowly, I am afraid that it will make a big mistake. ”

Only then did Liu Shouyou hear that it was Zhang Juzheng coming, so he hurriedly got up and paced out.

"Oh, Duke Taiyue is here, Liu has lost his welcome, disrespect and disrespect."

"It doesn't matter."

Zhang Juzheng stroked his beard and smiled lightly.

It turned out that after Ning Xiu had said those words to him, he entered the inner palace to ask to see the Son of Heaven, and told his opinion to the Holy Son of Heaven.

At this time, although Emperor Wanli was already dissatisfied with his teacher, he did not dare to show it, and immediately said that he should learn from Tang Taizong's outspoken advice and forgive Liu Weining's sins.

Zhang Juzheng was naturally very satisfied with the will of Emperor Wanli. He thought that he still needed to ask Ning Xiu to gather all the scholars to make an appearance, so that the emperor would get off the donkey if he had face. Who would have thought that Emperor Wanli would directly agree to release him. After he left the palace, he went to Liu Shouyou's official residence, preparing to explain to Liu Shouyou and release Liu Weining from the edict.

But who knew that he went to Liu Shouyou's mansion, and the back door official reported that his master had gone to Jinyiwei Prison.

Zhang Juzheng was shocked.

Is this Liu Shouyou going to interrogate Liu Weining in person?

Jin Yiwei's torture to extract a confession, Zhang Juzheng naturally knew about it, and in order to prevent Liu Weining from suffering more flesh and skin, he had to immediately leave to go to prison.

Unexpectedly, he saw such a scene as soon as he came to the Imperial Prison, Liu Weining was tied naked on an iron bed, and several Jinyi Guard captains were preparing to be tortured.

Zhang Juzheng coughed and said, "Siyun, the old man has just come out of the palace, and His Majesty has already pardoned this person for his offense." ”

Liu Shouyou said in his heart, Your Majesty is really open-minded, that Gongshi scolded His Majesty with a bloody squirt, and he was still safe and sound.

Even Liu Shouyou himself couldn't stand it.

"Eh, is Taiyue Gong serious?"

"Your Majesty's words are naturally serious."

Zhang Juzheng said with a solemn expression.

Liu Shouyou arched his hand on his back, which was regarded as a salute to the Son of Heaven.

"Your Majesty's benevolence and love for the people is my blessing."

After that, he waved his hand at the two Jinyi Guard lieutenants: "Don't let him go soon." ”

The two Jinyi guard captains immediately clenched their fists and received the order: "Obey the order!" ”

Liu Weining was put down and casually wrapped in a robe to cover his shame.

Although he was not tortured much, he was stripped naked and swept away.

When he learned that it was Jiangling Zhang Taiyue who was standing in front of him, he was ashamed and turned his head away.

Zhang Juzheng rescued Liu Weining from Jinyiwei, and naturally he was unwilling to stay in the edict prison any longer.

There is too much yin in this black prison, and people don't want to stay for a moment.

Zhang Juzheng sent someone to send Liu Weining back to the Huguang Hall, and he sat in a sedan chair to return to his house under the service of his entourage.

At ten o'clock in dusk, Ning Xian was about to go to dinner, and was surprised to see the two young men in Tsing Yi send Liu Weining back.

"Brother Liu!"

"Brother Ning Xian!"

The two shouted out to each other after dozens of paces.

"Brother Ning Xian, thanks to you."

Liu Weining's face overflowed with tears, and he cried with pear blossoms and rain.

"Brother Liu said this, we are both classmates and fellow villagers in the same year, and no one will stand idly by if something happens."

"yes, yes."

Liu Weining replied repeatedly, sighing and sighing.

"By the way, how did Brother Liu get out of Jinyiwei Prison?"

"Brother Ning Xian doesn't know? Zhang Ge's relatives came to the prison, saying that His Majesty had issued a royal decree to exempt him from the sins of his brother. ”

At this time, Liu Weining had already regretted it very much, he also wrote that policy when his brain was hot, he thought that he could leave a name for eternity, but who would have thought that he would be put in black prison.

It's another way to leave a name for eternity!

"Brother Liu, you are dressed like this..."

Ning Xiu saw that Liu Weining was casually wrapped in a robe, and smiled awkwardly: "Brother Liu, let's take a bath first, and then change clothes." ”

Liu Weining said gratefully: "It should be like this." ”

The two little servants sent Liu Weining back to the Huguang Hall and were about to leave.

Ning Xiu hurriedly sent them dozens of taels of silver.

The two little guys accepted it with a thousand thanks, but they really didn't expect that they could have such a harvest just by running errands.

Liu Weining waited for the servants of the Huguang Hall to make hot water, and then jumped into the wooden barrel impatiently, eager to wash every inch of skin around him.

Scholars in the Ming Dynasty were all clean, and they would feel itchy if they didn't take a bath for a few days.

In the past, he would take a bath every day, even if the conditions did not allow it, he would wash it every three days. Now it's even better to wash off bad luck.

He washed for half an hour before he felt satisfied, jumped out of the barrel and wiped himself clean with a square towel.

Liu Weining changed into a very loose Songjiang cloth straight jacket, smoked incense for a while, and then walked out of the house.

Ning Xiu was already waiting for him outside the house.

The two of them left the Huguang Hall together and went to a nearby restaurant, Hui Hui Xuan.

Entered a private room on the second floor and sat down, and his own cousin came forward enthusiastically.

"What do you want to eat?"

"A plate of Dongpo meat, a plate of stir-fried bamboo shoots, a few plates of side dishes, and a pot of daughter red."

Ning Xiu casually ordered some dishes, and took a piece of broken silver as a reward for the small hall.

The little guy got the reward and retreated with a thousand thanks.

Liu Weining sighed and said, "Brother Fool regrets dying." ”

"Brother Liu did something inappropriate."

Ning Xiu smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven after all, and there are some things that people and ministers should not say." ”

"This time, the foolish brother has learned a lesson. Although he survived, he was also deprived of his fame. ”

Liu Weining felt heartbroken when he thought about it, and his eyebrows were twisted together.

"Not necessarily."

Ning Xiu said with a smile: "Originally, Zhang Ge always planned for me to gather all the Jinshi at the Qionglin banquet to jointly write a letter to build momentum. In this way, even if His Majesty the Emperor really released Brother Liu, the wood would be completed, and his fame would naturally be gone. ”

Ning Xiu paused slightly, and then said abruptly: "But now Brother Liu has been directly released from the edict prison, before the Qionglin banquet. In this way, there is room for manoeuvre. ”

As soon as Ning Xiu finished speaking, Liu Weining's eyes flashed with scorching brilliance.

"According to this, it is likely that the reputation of the foolish brother has been restored?"

"In Ning's opinion, it is indeed very likely. Since the Son of Heaven has released Brother Liu, it means that he wants to be a Ming Jun like Yao Shun and wants to emulate Tang Taizong. Then Brother Liu is Wei Zheng. ”

Liu Weining's face turned red when he heard this, and he waved his hand again and again: "Foolish brother can't boast like this, how can he compare to Duke Wei." ”

"That's also a character like Haigang Peak."

Ning Xiu joked with a smile.

"Haha, Haigang Peak can be regarded as a famous name in history."

Liu Weining smiled bitterly.
