At the same time, in the Ming Imperial Prison in Fengyang Mansion, as a generation of vassal kings, Zhu Yujian, the former Tang Dynasty, was suffering from a kind of torture, with chains and locks firmly fixed in place, unable to move, and the pain was very great.

"Hey, I said, you are a good prince, don't stay in the palace honestly, what do you have to be the king? It's okay now, provoked the anger of the first emperor and deprived you of the position of vassal king, but instead fulfilled your younger brother and became the king of Tang, why bother? ”

A eunuch squatted beside Zhu Yujian, and the yin and yang weirdness was a burst of sourness, and he kept revealing his scars, all kinds of misfortunes in his childhood, and cynical words gushing out.

"Look at you, I suffered this kind of crime in my early years, I was almost killed by my grandfather, my father was poisoned by my own uncle, and I finally won the throne of the Tang King, why don't you know how to cherish it?"

"Hmph~ I really don't know what to do! The first emperor presided over justice for you and prevented the old Tang King from changing the prince, you are good, as soon as you became the king of Tang, soon after, you wanted to kill your two uncles, Zhu Qijun, the king of Fushan and Zhu Qijun, the king of Anyang, although the king of Anyang survived, but that was also a felony. ”

Zhu Yujian was furious, his weak body was shaking slightly, he almost roared angrily, and said hoarsely: "They all deserve to die!" Who asked them to poison my father and avenge my father, as long as the revenge is avenged, don't say that it is to cut off the throne of the Tang King, even if I lose my life, I have no regrets! ”

At this moment, Zhu Yujian's tears blurred, and the memories of his early years poured like a spring, making him miserable.

Grandfather Zhu Shuo, the old Tang king, was bewitched by the concubine, and he always loved the son of the concubine, but he hated his father very much, in order to let the son of the concubine inherit the Tang king, he did not hesitate to starve his father and son to death, and imprisoned them in the Chengfeng Division.

Sixteen years, a whole sixteen years, if it weren't for the help of the petty official Zhang Shutang and secretly sent some brown rice, I'm afraid the father and son would have starved to death, right?

However, all of this did not end because of this, although the father and son were lucky not to die, and they survived secretly, and the old Tang King did not use further cruel methods, but the son of the little concubine grew up and couldn't wait to become the son of the Tang Wang.

Tragedy occurred, Zhu Yujian saw his father being poisoned with his own eyes.

Zhu Yujian whimpered and cried, he was crying for all kinds of encounters in the past, this will also be his last trace of tears, a stubbornness was born, taking root in his heart.

Seeing Zhu Yujian like this, in addition to being startled by Zhu Yujian's initial roar, the little eunuch had recovered his gloomy appearance, and even pursed his lips and muttered: "Since you can't stand this kind of crime, then don't hold on, as the saying goes, take people's money, eliminate disasters with people, our family is here to serve you tirelessly, what should you pay?" Take out some money, and I'll be good, and you'll be right, and you won't have to suffer this kind of sin again. ”

Because his hands were restrained by the pier lock and he was unable to move, Zhu Yujian could only let the tears remain on his face, took a long breath, and in an instant, his expression became extremely resolute, especially the deep eyes, which flashed a little light.

"Where can I get you money in this prison?"

Hearing this, the eunuch and eunuch guarding the tomb did not get angry because of Zhu Yujian's reprimanding tone, but frowned slightly, and said with insufficient confidence: "What's so difficult about this? You can ask your younger brother Tang Wang to send it, as well as your family. As long as you write a letter, I will deliver it to them. ”

"Hmph~Hmph~"

Zhu Yujian snorted contemptuously twice, the weight and scars on his body made him very weak at this time, and he couldn't spit out a word anymore.

At this moment, there was a "squeak", and the cell door was abruptly opened, and an official walked in, followed by two jailers.

"Bold, this is an important place where the royal clan is imprisoned, and idle people are forbidden to enter!"

Although the eunuch and eunuch guarding the tomb were shouting angrily, they were more like lustful and inward-looking, lacking a kind of confidence, because the officials who came in wore official uniforms that were second-class officials, and they were definitely not something he could provoke.

Therefore, after seeing the official's official uniform, the attitude of the eunuch guarding the tomb immediately softened, and he was worried in his heart, and asked softly uneasily: "Who are you?" ”

However, the official did not pay attention to the eunuch guarding the tomb, but continued to walk forward, and as soon as he saw Zhu Yujian's situation, he immediately walked a few steps quickly, and said sharply: "Quick, open the shackles for King Tang and remove the pier locks!" ”

The two jailers hurriedly stepped forward to help remove the torture equipment on Zhu Yujian's body, seeing that the eunuch guarding the tomb dared not speak angrily, let alone stop it, and finally snorted coldly and left in a hurry, his back was slightly embarrassed.

The moment the shackles and pier locks were removed, Zhu Yujian only felt that his body suddenly lightened, and his strength began to recover, but the numbness in his body made him unable to stand up for a while, and under the support of others, he could only sit there in a state of malaise.

As soon as his body regained a trace of strength, Zhu Yujian's face showed gratitude, and he couldn't help asking, "Excuse me, are you...?" ”

"Lord Qiqi, the next official is Lu Zhenfei, the new governor of Fengyang Mansion."

Between the words, Lu Zhenfei was looking at Zhu Yujian, the former Tang King, who was weak and thin, with a much less sharp spirit, revealing a polite temperament, and suddenly had a very good impression in his heart, and then said: "When Xia Guan first arrived at the imperial tomb, he heard that Shi Yingzhao, the eunuch guarding the tomb, was embarrassed by the royal clan relatives who committed crimes, and he couldn't ask for bribes, and often lynched the royal family relatives. ”

"Hey......"

Zhu Yujian sighed and didn't say anything, accusing or complaining that the previous governors didn't care about this matter, and the eunuchs guarding the tomb asked for bribes from the detained royal relatives.

As if he had guessed what Zhu Yujian was thinking, Lu Zhenfei showed a hint of helplessness, and then said softly: "Lord Wang, the eunuch guarding the tomb is under the management of the royal sect's mansion, and he can't be handled by the government." However, please rest assured that the lower officials will truthfully report the various evil deeds of the eunuchs guarding the tomb to the prince of Fuwang in Nanjing, and these eunuchs will definitely be punished severely! ”

Immediately afterwards, Lu Zhenfei looked at a jailer beside him and ordered: "Tell the cell boss to immediately send someone to take care of the prince's diet and daily life, if the prince has a mistake, you will not escape the responsibility, and you will end up with the same fate as the eunuch guarding the tomb, and it is the crime of beheading the royal family to punish the royal family privately!" ”

"Yes, yes... The little one remembers, and he will definitely take care of the prince......"

The jailer stammered in response, both of them were scared, they knew deep that Lu Zhenfei was by no means sensational, scaring them, once this matter was stabbed to the emperor, even if the prince of Fu Wang was still only a prison country and had not yet ascended the throne, he could cut off their heads.

When Lu Zhenfei made this arrangement, he would never have thought that this gesture would not only save Zhu Yujian, but also affect his future career.
