"It's not there yet, I know what to do. Seeing that Jia Peng once accused Jing Tingrui and involved the resentment of the soldiers and the people, Aiqing felt angry, but she was helpless.

"I'm going to the prison of the Ministry of War now, and I'll ask General Jing in person." Aiqing got up and said.

"Your Majesty! Never! Unexpectedly, Jia Peng not only ignored the emperor's command, but also stopped in front of him, "This is a loss of your identity!" ”

"What?" Aiqing was stunned.

"There are suspects in the prison, and unless a royal trial is held, you need the emperor to show up." Jia Peng said righteously, "Otherwise, it is unfair for you to visit General Jing under false public interest." ”

"You say I'm fake for public and private?!" Aiqing gritted her teeth, "Then, I'm going to hold a pre-imperial trial, right?" ”

"That's not allowed!" Jia Peng said, "The pre-imperial trial is all for the crime of rebellion and rebellion, and if you do this, Your Majesty, it will make General Jing's situation worse." ”

"This ......!" Aiqing was so angry that she dropped her sleeves, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, that doesn't work, that is, I can't see Jing Tingrui anymore?" ”

Aiqing felt unbelievable, he was the emperor, under the whole world, it was not the king's land, he could still not be allowed to go?!

"Exactly!" Jia Peng saluted, and all the ministers followed suit, and said in unison, "The ministers ask the emperor to think twice!" ”

"You ......!"

"Brother Huang!" Seeing that Aiqing was trembling with anger, but he couldn't forcibly break through the obstruction of these ministers, Yan said, "Now that the case is still unclear, if you go to visit General Jing, it will indeed attract people to talk about it, and let you put on the name of 'unfairness', and this matter will be handed over to the Admiral's Mansion and Zai."

Let's deal with it. I believe that they will definitely give General Jing a clean slate. ”

"Why can't even you ......!?" Aiqing thought that Yan would agree to him going.

Yan shook his head gently at Aiqing.

Ai Qing let out a long sigh and sat down dejectedly, "You all stand down." ”

"The ministers are leaving." Jia Peng was like a winning rooster, leaving with everyone holding their heads high.

"Yan, why are you talking for them?" Aiqing asked with a puzzled expression.

"Brother Chen is not helping them, but for you and General Jing." Yan said. Although he hates Jing Tingrui very much, like Aiqing, he doesn't think that he will beat people for no reason, there must be something strange about this matter.

"Now that you have gone to visit the prison, others will only say that General Jing is relying on the emperor's grace, so he is so lawless and dares to make trouble in the imperial city.

This rumor-monger, fanning the flames again, can make the city stormy. When the time comes, not only General Jing's reputation will not be guaranteed, but even the emperor

You'll also be slandered by rumors, and this case will not be easy to judge. ”

Yan's words woke up Aiqing, who was in a state of confusion.

As the saying goes, "Rumors are fiercer than tigers." "It can reverse right and wrong, and the soldiers of the Admiralty's Mansion will not openly oppose Jing Ting because of rumors

Rui, what about causing him to be found guilty even if he is not guilty? This kind of public opinion guiding the case to be pronounced is not unprecedented, in order to calm down public grievances.

Therefore, Aiqing clenched her fists, pondered, and finally could only sigh deeply.

"This case is tried by the Admiral's Palace, and it also involves the emperor's relatives and relatives, so it will not be concluded so quickly." Yan persuaded and said, "Brother Chen knows that you are very worried about General Jing, but you also have to take care of your body. ”

Yan said, so he asked Xiao Dezi to bring dinner, so that he could persuade Aiqing to eat.

"I don't have any appetite right now." Aiqing stroked her forehead, "I'm the emperor, and Rarity is in prison right now, but I can't even pay a visit. "Even if this kind of thing is understood, it is still very uncomfortable in my heart.

"Because you are the emperor, there are so many pairs of eyes staring at you." Yan said empathetically, "The supreme person in this world is the emperor, and the most involuntary person is also the emperor." ”

He is just the emperor's younger brother, so he has suffered a lot of "side eyes", so Yan usually pays attention to behavior, and the emperor has more scruples.

Aiqing raised his head, tears in his eyes, but he still held back his tears and said resolutely, "I won't let Tingrui have anything to do!" I will never let Zai get along with him! ”

In the past, Aiqing never felt that there was anything terrible about the Prime Minister, at most, he just didn't listen to what he said, and he was a little conservative. It was only now that he discovered that Jia Peng had the power to influence the speech of the courtiers, which could make him helpless.

Yan wanted to persuade a few words, but what he cared more about in his heart was the sentence that Aiqing said, "Tingrui".

Why isn't "Rarity" anymore, it sounds like they've had an extremely close relationship, going from childhood playmates to serious friends

Like.

However, Aiqing is in a hurry, maybe she made a slip of the tongue and called "Tingrui".

Yan stayed with Aiqing that night until he had dinner and went back to Changchun Palace to rest.

※※※

The bright moon is like a mirror, hanging high in the blue sky. The moonlight permeated everything in the imperial city like mercury, whether it was the criss-crossed streets lined with shops, or the rows of low stone cells in the corners of the palace walls, they were all smeared with a faint, cold silver light.

Most of the soldiers in the military prison are forbidden soldiers, as well as deserters on the battlefield, and now there is no fighting, and no one has committed any crimes, so the whole prison is empty. There were only seven or eight soldiers on the night patrol, armed with weapons, who walked back and forth from time to time.

There are a total of 28 cells, divided into one floor above ground and one floor underground, and the cell where Jing Tingrui is located is the northernmost underground, with damp and moldy stone walls on both sides. There is an east-facing window hole near the ceiling, sealed with iron railings, which is also rusty.

Through it, you can barely see the boots of the soldiers patrolling back and forth on the ground.

And the moonlight also shines through this window, illuminating a simple wooden bed, on which is laid some hay, and a rag pillow stuffed with broken grass is placed.

There were also some hay scattered on the ground, and it could be seen that these meadows were all newly moved and none of them were moldy, so that General Jing could do his best

I can stay comfortably.

Jing Tingrui was sitting on a simple bed, holding his breath and adjusting his internal strength, he couldn't practice swords in prison, he could only practice martial arts.

No matter how good the knife is, it will be dull if it is not sharpened, even if Jing Tingrui is in a bad environment, he does not forget to hone his martial arts, which is also the foundation of being a general.

Suddenly, in the silent cell, there was a sound of Xi Suosuo's footsteps, as well as the enthusiastic call of "father-in-law" on the left and "father-in-law" on the right.
