Chapter 45: The Scourge of Prison
"In the opinion of the ministers, he should be imprisoned."
As soon as the prince's plan came out, the emperor stroked his beard and fell silent. If the second prince is crazy, he will send people to prison, and when the matter spreads, his face will not look good, so he asked: "Second prince, how did you write anti-poems, and how did you pretend to be crazy and stupid to deceive Yu Zhen?" ”
Knowing that a catastrophe was coming, in a place where no one could see, the second prince clenched his fists tightly and shouted: "I have 100,000 heavenly soldiers......
"Beat me until he says it!"
Hearing this, the prince already knew what the emperor was going to do, he waved his hand, and as soon as he gave an order, the seven or eight big men immediately grabbed the second prince, and when he went up, he was punched and kicked.
They are fatal, and they have the intention of not giving up if they don't kill people. The second prince was beaten very painfully, but he clearly knew that he couldn't fight back, and if he fought back, pretending to be crazy would be exposed......
"Okay," the emperor suddenly stopped, "since the second prince has been recruited, he will be sent back to the prison, and he will make a decision at a later date." ”
The prince hooked his lips, hugged his fists and said, "Yes." ”
"Don't forget to get him to sign it."
The second prince was covered in injuries, and he didn't say half a word to pretend to be crazy, but the emperor made the decision for him first, and the tiger poison did not eat children, but today he wanted to kill him because of a regent, which is really ruthless!
The second prince is not crazy, but he naturally won't admit it. In this way, he allowed others to take him down.
After taking the second prince down, the prince hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, rebellion is a capital crime, the heavier the crime you convict the second prince, the heavier the regent's crime." ”
The emperor nodded, "Let's go down." ”
The regent is dead, but it is very inappropriate to try to kill him just because of the rebellion of the second prince.
In order to prevent him from jumping over the wall in a hurry and being forced to rebel, he needs to keep his life, and it is not too late to take his life when he is dismissed from his post and sent him to the border.
At the same time, Faye Wong heard that her prince had been imprisoned for the crime of rebellion, so she hurriedly reported the matter to Wang Shangshu, who sent people to get through the relationship and sent Faye Wong to visit Yun Jingyao.
Faye Wong was imprisoned, and Wu Zi divided all the silver in his pocket with the jailers, and told them to take care of Yun Jingyao and his sister, and then went to the prison to meet him.
When they met, Faye Wong saw that Yun Jingyao and Su Mujin had both changed into rag clothes, and couldn't help but burst into tears, she ordered: "It's the regent in prison today, how can you treat him like this?" Why don't you open the door soon? ”
When Su Mujin heard the movement, she immediately sat up, walked to the door, and sighed, "Sister, why are you here?" ”
After all, she is the princess regent, and it is inevitable that there will be many things wrong with appearing here at this juncture.
Faye Wong sighed and said helplessly: "My sister and I married Jinlan, if I go to prison, I believe my sister will save me from fire and water." Therefore, my sister is in prison, how can I sit idly by? ”
After saying this, the door of the cell was opened, and she gave them a little more silver taels and told them to leave, and hurried into the prison.
Faye Wong put the food she brought in front of Yun Jingyao, and her eyes were red. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and sighed: "I can't eat or sleep well in this prison, and I don't know how you spent the past two days." ”
Su Mujin said earnestly: "What did the emperor say over there?" ”
Since the second prince was proposed to face the saint, he has never returned, and he doesn't know whether he is dead or alive. She always felt very uneasy.
"Sister, the second prince is crazy, the emperor said that he was pretending to be crazy and stupid, bullying the king, and put him on death row." Faye Wong shook her head and said helplessly: "I came precisely because of this matter, the emperor is afraid that this time it is not the drunkard's intention not to drink, he is determined to put the prince to death." Lord, you ...... Do you really have no complaints in your heart? ”
Hearing this, Yun Jingyao looked up at Faye Wong, her face was full of concern, and she looked really worried about him. But the meaning of her words was clearly to imply that he would rebel, hoping that he was thinking too much.
Seeing that Yun Jingyao didn't speak, Faye Wong opened the food box on the ground, took out a pot of wine, handed it to Yun Jingyao, Su Mujin and Guangyi in three wine bowls, and poured wine for them one by one.
When the wine was full, Faye Wong poured a bowl of wine by herself, she put down the wine jug, raised the wine glass, and said to herself: "My Faye Wong has a straightforward personality, and I never hold back my words in my heart, and now there is no one else in this prison except for the three of you, so I will tell you what I have to say." ”
After that, she raised her head and ate the bowl of wine, and said: "Now that the emperor does not distinguish between right and wrong, and all the ministers see it, if the regent really tears his face with the emperor because of this, others will naturally not say anything." ”
"I know that you are loyal and righteous, and you have always disdained to do things that go against your will, but even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the people around you, if you really fall, how many loyal ministers will die unjustly?"
"If you want to, Daddy and I will fully support you, and similarly, if you don't want to, Daddy and I will respect your choice. Lord, if you need it, I will always be there, please think twice. ”
Therefore, it means that Wang Shangshu is on his side and hopes that he will rebel.
Thinking like this, Yun Jingyao drank the wine in his hand and disappeared. Rebellion is not a trivial matter, and he must not do such a bad thing of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness unless he is forced to do it.
After Faye Wong left, Su Mujin said: "Lord, rebellion is not a trivial matter, how are you going?" ”
“……”
From his silence, she already had the answer. If the regent wants to leave, this mere cage will not be able to trap him at all. The fact that he was willing to stay here at this moment proved that he did not want to do that treason.
However, Yun Jingyao finally called the cell boss and talked to him for a while before sitting back down. He can't do anything to die, he has to leave a way back for himself.
On the other hand, the crown prince returned from the palace, and after thinking for a long time, he felt that the ministers had quite objections to this matter, and if he left the second prince in the world, he was afraid that there would be many incidents. So that night, he instructed his subordinates and the second prince to send a table of good wine and food in, so that he could be sent on his way.
When the second prince was lying in prison with scars, he suddenly saw that someone gave him a lot of food, and he was really suspicious. He barely got up from the ground and asked the cell boss who delivered the food, "Do you know who sent it?" ”
"Second prince," the person who delivered the food opened the food box, took out the meals inside one by one, and said helplessly: "You have offended people, and now you are afraid that your life will not be guaranteed, these meals, you eat them well, and you can go on the road after eating, so I will be sorry for you." ”
