Li Tai's face changed and changed, he stomped his foot fiercely, turned around and went down the city.

Out of the Suzaku Gate, the noise in the square came into his ears intermittently.

It's all about Zhou Jinyan gambling with him, boasting that Zhou Jinyan is lucky, and he Li Tai can also lose, it's too embarrassing.

The more Li Tai listened, the more angry he became, and he returned to his guards with a straight face.

"Lee!" He shouted angrily.

"King Wei!"

The guard, named Li En, hurriedly knelt on the ground, his face pale.

"What the hell is going on with you?" Li Tai roared in a low voice, "What about the dead? Let him come back, you didn't kill anyone? ”

Li En stubbornly said: "Back to the King of Wei, his subordinates dare to guarantee with their lives, and they definitely didn't kill the wrong person." ”

"Didn't kill the wrong person?"

Li Tai pointed to the death row prisoners who were gathered together, "That person is a death row prisoner, and now there are many death row prisoners, yes, how did that person come from?" ”

Li En was in a cold sweat, where could he speak.

The devil knows how a man can be resurrected from the dead.

"Humph!"

Li Tai said angrily: "Go back and settle accounts with you!" ”

Seeing Li Tai and his entourage go violently, Zhou Jinyan blinked and said, "Why didn't Your Majesty give me a reward?" ”

Li Mengjiang said softly: "In previous years, it was announced on the spot, but this year is a little strange, and it is said that it will not be ......."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw a chamberlain approaching.

"Zhou Concubine."

"Liu Neishi." Zhou Jinyan hurriedly greeted him.

"Your Majesty, please." Liu Neishou smiled and made a gesture of please.

"Sister Ruyu, Linchuan, you go and wait for me in the carriage." Zhou Jinyan said: "I'll come when I go." ”

After speaking, he called Xiahou Zixuan aside and solemnly admonished him.

At this time, it was already past lunch time, and the sun was shining on the body, making people warm.

Zhou Jinyan followed Liu Neizhi all the way to the imperial study.

"Zhou Fuma waits."

After Liu Neishou finished speaking, he went in to report.

Zhou Jinyan waited outside the door of the study, still wondering in his heart, how did Li Danyue know that the shadow had become a death row prisoner, and why would the shadow replace the death row prisoner?

"Could it be that Princess Pavilion Tao and Shadow know?"

Zhou Jinyan secretly thought, "Even if you know, you shouldn't go in to replace the death row prisoner." ”

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, just thinking about seeing Li Danyue earlier and asking what was going on.

"Xuan, Zhou and Ma are here." Liu Neishou snorted.

Zhou Jinyan put away his miscellaneous thoughts and walked in.

"Minister, Zhou Jinyan, please see Your Majesty."

"Excuse me."

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun sat together, both with smiles on their faces, and they seemed to be in a good mood.

"Sincerely," Li Shimin stroked his beard and smiled: "This time all these criminals can come back, it is really beyond my expectations." ”

"That's because they felt the majesty of Long, and they had to return."

Zhou Jinyan said lightly.

Li Shimin and Empress Changsun glanced at each other, feeling a little strange in their hearts, this kid seems to have really changed a lot recently.

"Huh."

Li Shimin was in a happy mood and said straightforwardly: "Don't be a sycophant, this time it is ostensibly a bet made by you and Qingque to celebrate the prince's birthday." But in fact, the impact of this matter is far greater than you imagined, I will reward you well, say, what do you want? ”

Empress Changsun secretly pulled Li Shimin, a little worried that Zhou Jinyan would make unrealistic requests.

"Your Majesty, the minister feels that since the seven hundred and twenty-three people have all abided by the covenant of the king, they should be completely let go, so as to show your majesty's grace even more. Especially those condemned prisoners, who came to the appointment knowing that they were going to die, gave up hope of life. Just to keep the promise. ”

"You have a point."

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "For such a big event, these condemned prisoners can still keep the contract, what kind of courage and spirit are they at this time?" ”

Zhou Jinyan is inexplicable, so why don't you let go?

Empress Changsun interjected: "I am also very moved, but I just want to release him, and I have to wait for the consent of the ministers, or any promise made by His Majesty." Now that those who are not death row prisoners are released, Wei Zheng and they will say okay, and they are not willing to let those death row prisoners go. ”

Zhou Jinyan said in his heart that this Wei Zheng is really nosy, no wonder he can make Li Shimin jump to his feet angrily.

"If the others are directly released, it is equivalent to reducing the culpability, but the condemned prisoner will not be commuted?" Zhou Jinyan asked again.

"This matter must be discussed by the Criminal Department." Li Shimin's answer was ambiguous.

Then he continued: "Okay, let's talk about your conditions. ”

Zhou Jinyan sighed, and Qujiangchi was in the soup again.

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to use this condition to beg to let go of the remaining seventy-two condemned prisoners, so that they can enjoy His Majesty's grace together."

Li Shimin was stunned and looked at the eldest grandson queen who was also a little stunned, "You said that you will let me release people with this condition?" ”

Zhou Jinyan scratched his head pretending to be puzzled, "Your Majesty said that there is a random condition, could it be that this condition is exceeded?" ”

Empress Eldest Sun frowned and said, "Sincerely, are you sure you want to release people on this condition?" ”

"Sure."

Thinking of the ugly woman who had a dewy marriage with him, Zhou Jinyan was cold, but he didn't want her to die.

"I made a bet with King Wei, and these people can go to the appointment on time, which is to believe in me and fulfill me."

Zhou Jinyan said solemnly: "Without them, I would not have the opportunity to put forward conditions, even so, what should I do for them." ”

A smile appeared at the corner of the eldest grandson's eyes, nodded with satisfaction, and stopped talking.

Li Shimin was puzzled: "I'm afraid it's a little difficult to release people. But they keep their promises with their lives, and I can assure you that they will be absolutely forgiven of their capital crimes. ”

Zhou Jinyan was disappointed in his heart, and arched his hand: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen." ”

Li Shimin was embarrassed, "If you don't say this, I will do it." Not a condition, I allow you to say one more. ”

Zhou Jinyan didn't expect such a good thing, and was hesitating to say about Qujiangchi, when he saw Empress Changsun coming over.

"Her Royal Highness."

Zhou Jinyan gave a respectful salute.

Empress Eldest Sun nodded and said softly, "Except for the two-year agreement between us and the official position, I can ask Your Majesty to agree to any of your conditions." ”

Zhou Jinyan's face was strange, looking at the back of the eldest grandson queen slowly going back, and he was a little silent for a while.

"Sincerely." Li Shimin called.

"Your Majesty."

"Have you thought about it?" Li Shimin asked with a smile: "What conditions do you want?" ”

"The things that the minister wants are a little big, but I'm afraid that His Majesty won't give them."

Empress Eldest Sun's heart tightened, and her face sank.

Li Shimin said unhurriedly: "You can say it and see if I can give it." ”

"I want Qujiangchi." Zhou Jinyan said it hard.

After speaking, I only felt embarrassed, and I didn't dare to look up at the emperor and queen.

Empress Eldest Sun breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile in the corner of her eyes: "This Qujiangchi, Your Majesty, do you see?" ...... What, you want Qujiang Pond? ”

"Exactly." Take a look at the latest chapter of "Mixed in the Tang Dynasty to be a Horse Claw Book House" to read for free for the first time.
