Prison.

Chen Qingying stuffed a few strings of copper coins into the hands of the cell boss and said, "Lord Rong, I'm sorry for you, can you let a few people from the slave family see my husband?" ”

For Zhao Ziliang was arrested in the prison, the head of the Rong cell was also carefully inquired and pondered, the emperor's decree did not specifically point out that family members and others were not allowed to visit, and the old man Rong, who had been the head of the cell for many years, was very experienced, although Zhao Ziliang's behavior in the court was very absurd, but if you think about it carefully, it is not a great crime, for Zhao Ziliang, a general with great achievements, the emperor will not necessarily impose a heavy punishment, which can be seen from the emperor's great favor in the border generals over the years.

Rong Jiaotou looked at the strings of copper coins in his hand, and then looked at the children held by Chen Qingying, Nie Sanniang and others, looked left and right, and saw that there were no outsiders present, so he hurriedly whispered: "Oh, two ladies, this is a villain, General Zhao has great military achievements, is not afraid of the powerful, and has always been a person respected by villains!" The villain can let the two ladies and young ladies meet General Zhao, but it can't be too long・・・・・・".

Chen Qingying hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the slave family and others will definitely not embarrass Lord Rong, just a quarter of an hour, can you see it?" ”

"Okay, the villain is watching outside, you guys go in quickly, if anyone comes, the villain will go and tell the ladies immediately!"

"Thank you, thank you!" Chen Qingying said, and immediately walked with Nie Sanniang holding the child and walking into the prison.

At this time, Zhao Ziliang was sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed of the cell meditating and practicing qi, which was what he used to do every day, and it was precisely because of his unremitting meditation and practice of qi every day, coupled with the special function of the jade wrench, that his combat effectiveness could be maintained for a long time, and now he has not stopped in the cell.

Now that it's June, the weather is already very hot, meditating and practicing qi to calm the mind, not only will it not feel hot, but it will also be very cool.

There were footsteps in the distance, and Zhao Ziliang ignored it, but heard a few familiar voices: "Husband, Zhao Lang!" ”

Zhao Ziliang opened his eyes and saw Chen Qingying and Nie Sanniang each holding a child, nephew Zhao Hu holding his eldest son Zhao Lei, Wang Zhiyun also stood outside the cell with tears on her face, and the chief of the guard, Brehan and Nuer, stood behind them loyally, he got up and walked over with a smile and asked, "Are you here?" Didn't I ask Wang Can to tell you not to let you come? ”

Chen Qingying hugged her daughter Zhao Yu and cried: "The slave family doesn't know how Zhao Lang is in prison, whether he lacks food and clothing, stays at home like ants on a hot pot, fidgeting, I really can't rest assured!" Nur, quickly bring the clothes and food prepared for Zhao Lang."

A package with clothes and a food box were taken, after the food box was opened, the meat was fragrant, and stacks of dishes were brought out and handed in, Zhao Ziliang took them one by one, and saw beef, mutton, and fish, and couldn't help nodding and said: "Not bad, it's all I like to eat, by the way, isn't the court not allowed to kill cows, how can there be beef?" ”

Zhao Ziliang knew that in order to keep enough cattle for farming, the imperial court specially issued a decree not to kill cultivated cattle, and the government would punish those who killed cattle without permission, so he couldn't help but ask where the beef came from.

Chen Qingying wiped her tears and said: "A few days ago, a cow in Zhuangzi broke a front leg and couldn't work, so I could only report to the government to slaughter and eat meat!" ”

"Oh, that's right!" Zhao Ziliang nodded, stretched out his hand and said, "Come, bring Zhao Yu and Zhao Ting over to show you, hey, these two little guys haven't woken up yet, hahaha・・・・・・・"

Zhao Yu and Zhao Ting are only a few months old, Zhao Yu is more than a month older, but he is not as fast as Zhao Ting, at this time the two little babies are biting their fingers and falling asleep, completely unaware that they are in the cell.

After looking at the two children, Zhao Ziliang reached out and touched Zhao Lei's little head again and said: "Boy, now that your father and I have been imprisoned by the emperor, don't be naughty at home in the future, listen to the words of the eldest mother and the second mother, and follow your brother Zhao Hu to study and practice martial arts, don't be lazy, you know?" ”

Although Zhao Lei was only three years old, he also understood a lot of things, and when he saw his father in prison, he nodded with tears in his eyes: "En! ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at his nephew Zhao Hu, who had grown into a half-child, and asked with a smile: "Huzi, the second uncle only came back the day before yesterday, and was arrested and put in prison by the emperor's order yesterday. ”

Zhao Hu said: "Second uncle, now I can fight five or six at a time, Mr. taught me to read "Mencius" these days, second uncle, you have made great contributions at the border pass, why does the emperor still put you in prison, this emperor is too confused, we don't protect his country, will it be successful?" Yesterday, Uncle Brehan and Uncle Nur were still talking about going to the prison to save the second uncle? ”

When the others heard this, their faces changed drastically, lest Zhao Hu said these rebellious words that had ears across the wall, Zhao Ziliang reached out and touched Zhao Hu's head and asked with a smile: "After saving me out, where can we go?" ”

Zhao Hu: "This ・・・・・・".

Zhao Ziliang said with a smile: "The world is all from the Tang Dynasty, if you rob the prison, it is tantamount to rebellion, even if you escape, there is no place in the world if you go out, so don't do such stupid things in the future."

Zhao Hu touched his head and said, "But if you don't rob the prison, what if the emperor really wants to kill the second uncle?" Can we watch the second uncle being killed and leave it alone? ”

Zhao Ziliang smiled: "Your second uncle and I just slapped Li Linfu a few times, and I didn't commit a capital crime, how could the emperor kill me?" If the emperor kills me because of this, he will not be the emperor, and Datang will not have the prosperous situation it has now! ”

Wang Zhiyun couldn't help but say: "But now the court is a traitorous minister, and there are traitors who slander in front of the emperor all day long, and it is inevitable that the emperor will not be bewitched."

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "Li Linfu and the others can't cover the sky with one hand, don't worry, you can't act recklessly after you go back."

・・・・・・

East Palace.

The crown prince Li Heng walked in from outside with his hands behind his back and sat down on the prince's chair, a maid quickly brought tea, and the personal eunuch Li Fuguo stood beside him with his head bowed and waited carefully.

Li Heng took the tea and drank a few sips and put it on the table, and sighed: "This Li Linfu with a honey-bellied sword, an old thing, is still unforgiving, seeing that he did not slander Zhao Ziliang in front of his father for a moment yesterday and today, Zhao Ziliang is only afraid that this time he will be more auspicious!" ”

Seeing Li Heng frowning, Li Fuguo knew that Li Heng cherished Zhao Ziliang as a rare general, and it was a pity to be killed by Li Linfu like this, so he hurriedly said carefully: "Your Highness loves talents, and slaves are so admired that they throw themselves to the ground!" Think about how arrogant he Zhao Ziliang was before, he never interacted with people in the court, even His Royal Highness invited, he also refused, and now he is in trouble, even his life is difficult to protect, if His Royal Highness helps at this time, pleads for him in front of His Majesty, and when he comes out of the prison, he will definitely be grateful to His Royal Highness, and in the future, His Royal Highness will look forward to it, if His Royal Highness subdues Zhao Ziliang and other gods of the world, it is like a tiger with wings! ”

Li Fuguo's words made Li Heng couldn't help but be very moved, thinking about Zhao Ziliang's peerless posture on the school field that day, and his invincible demeanor on the battlefield, he couldn't help but yearn for it, if there is such a god of the world on his side, he doesn't have to worry about the safety of his life, and he can definitely influence the trend of the situation at a critical moment.

At this moment, a voice came from outside: "No! ”

Li Heng was a little displeased when he heard this, and when he looked up, he saw that it was his henchman Li Mi, who was immediately overjoyed, and stood up to greet him: "Didn't Mr. follow General Wang Zhongsi in Mobei?" Why did you come back all of a sudden? ”

The young Li Mi respectfully saluted Li Heng, was helped up by Li Heng, and said: "Your Highness, the affairs of Mobei have been arranged properly, and the matter has been explained to General Wang Zhonghe, as long as General Wang acts according to his plan, at most next year, Mobei will no longer be a threat to my Datang, and there will be no death in battle for at least ten years!" ”

"That's good, that's good!" Li Heng breathed a sigh of relief, remembering what Li Mi said at the door just now, and hurriedly asked Li Mi to sit down, and couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. just said at the door that Gu can't intercede for General Zhao in front of his father?" ”

Li Mi nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Li Heng was puzzled: "Why is this? ”

Li Mi said: "Everyone else can intercede for Zhao Ziliang, but His Royal Highness cannot, as long as His Royal Highness intercedes for Zhao Ziliang in front of His Majesty, General Zhao will definitely die!" Your Royal Highness, the emperor has been from seizing power to the present, what he is most worried about is that his rights will be taken away, although Li Linfu is in power, but no matter how big his power is, it is impossible to be greater than the emperor, and His Royal Highness is different, the emperor guards His Royal Highness more than anyone else, if General Zhao is such a peerless fierce will be pulled over by His Royal Highness, the emperor's heart will be uneasy, so if His Royal Highness doesn't want General Zhao to die, it is best not to do anything! ”

Li Heng hesitated: "But ・・・・・・ is Lonely, he really likes such peerless generals!" ”

Li Mi said with a smile: "Your Highness, rest assured, now that Li Linfu and General Zhao have come to this situation, General Zhao will never be co-opted by Li Linfu, General Zhao is not an ordinary general, it is not difficult to see from what he has done over the years, his true filial piety is not just one person, his allegiance is to the Tang Dynasty!" ”

Li Heng's eyes widened, "So, it's impossible for Lone to make him loyal?" ”

"No, no!" Li Mi shook his head and said: "Your Highness, now Your Majesty is the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he is loyal to Your Majesty, if His Royal Highness ascends the throne as the emperor, his allegiance will be His Majesty!" ”

Li Heng is also a smart person, and he quickly understood the meaning of Li Yu's words, and nodded: "I see, it seems that Gu is too anxious, but Zhao Ziliang is a rare general, if he is killed by Li Linfu's dog thief like this, it will be a pity, but if Gu doesn't do anything, he can't go in his heart!" ”

Li Mi took the folding fan and opened the fan with a "swish", and after a few breaths, he put away the folding fan, slapped his palms and smiled: "There is!" ”

"What's the solution? Hurry up, sir! ”

Li Mi leaned into Li Heng's ear and whispered: "I heard that King Xin'an is very sick these days, at his age, I'm afraid that this level will not be able to pass, in the past, King Xin'an admired General Zhao very much, why don't Your Highness go to the palace of King Xin'an?" ”

The words were not finished, but Li Heng completely understood what Li Yu meant, his eyes lit up, and he slapped his palms and smiled: "Wonderful, wonderful!" Come on, prepare the carriage and horses! ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" (To be continued.) )
