Tao Xiaoshen heard that there was a holy decree, and hurried to the gate of the edict, only to know that the holy decree was just an edict, and the content of this edict really made him scratch his head, it was actually to let Mrs. Gu go to the edict, and he didn't say what crime Mrs. Gu had committed, nor did he say how to bow to the court, and the emperor's holy will was really unfathomable, so that his privileged Jinyi Guard commander Tongzhi was at a loss and didn't know how to deal with it.

"Minister Liang, what is the emperor's intention ......?"

"Tao Tongzhi said that the emperor's edict only had one sentence of 'send Mrs. Gu to prison', as for more instructions, it should have been granted to Mrs. Gu in person." Liang Xiaoxian is also a good person, and he gave Tao Xiaoshen enough reminders.

Tao Xiaoshen: ......

"With Lao Tao's knowledge, put the prisoner in the cell where the grandson is located, the emperor's intention is to let the prisoner and the grandson wait for the judgment together." Chungui was frank and swayed at Tao Xiao and bowed deeply.

Tao Xiaoshen had already interrogated Lan Ting, but he did not use the punishment, of course Lan Ting did not admit the "crime", at this time he was in the dark prison with his knees closed, it seemed that he was really immersed in the meditation illusion, and even the sound of "bang" when the lock was opened and closed was ignored, and he didn't open his eyes until a moment later, and was surprised to find that Chun Gui had sat on the simple couch at some point, but he didn't think it was an illusion, and smiled slightly: "I knew that Huihui would be stupid, and it was like that." ”

"I don't think I'll be grateful, but if we meet, they will hurt me first, it seems that I am really stupid." Chungui glared at Lan Ting, she had already looked at Lan Ting just now, and made sure that she was not injured, and her hanging heart was half relieved. Although the emperor is despicable and shameless, he is not a wolf, at least he did not let Lan Ting suffer alive.

"I was wrong, I don't know if it's too late to be grateful?" Having said that, Lan Ting's smile deepened.

He got up and sat down: "Tao Gong still talks about old friendships, he has never been tortured, and he also picked the cleanest and most spacious cell for me, which is said to be the place where the waste swallow was held back then, and this treatment is extraordinary, by the way, Tao Gong even found me a clean mattress, but it ...... The cell was damp, and the smell was still unpleasant after all. ”

"I carry a sachet with me, and my uncle can barely endure it with this sachet." Chungui really untied the sachet from his waist and put it on Lan Ting's buckle.

"Magnolia, mint, wormwood, agarwood?"

"There is also water to rest in peace, Uncle can be regarded as missing this time."

"After two days in the cell, my nose is not very sensitive."

"Sure enough, it's not very sensitive, I said it casually, and you believe it."

"How did I know that Hui Hui was cheating?"

"What was Uncle meditating on earlier? Have you ever understood the profound truth? ”

"I'm a man and a woman, I'm afraid I can't understand the advanced arts, I'm meditating on delicious food, although Tao Gong has never used leftovers to mean me, the dry food in the edict is really hard to swallow, not to mention, I really have a cooking method that I have never tried before, and the ingredients are rabbit meat with peppers."

"Let's talk about it quickly, let me go into detail."

Tao Xiaosen snooping outside the cell: ......

What kind of couple is this? In the edict prison, facing the danger of life and death, even if you don't talk about those grief-stricken words, you should discuss how to get out of trouble, gossip is really reasonable?

Some things, as far as Lanting and Chungui are concerned, there is actually no need to communicate.

Just like Lan Ting understood why Chungui came to the edict, she couldn't confirm his innocence, but with her, the emperor would have some scruples, so that he would not order a heavy punishment to extract a confession, and he couldn't even bear to trap him in the edict for a long time; Just like Chun Gui also understands that Lan Ting will not care about her using Qin Xun's weakness to threaten, although the catastrophe this time is worse than Zhenlong's killing, but they still have the original hope of survival, but this life is symbiosis, if it fails, then die together.

Tao Xiao stepped out of the prison, looked at the scorching sun in the sky and sighed slowly, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that Liang Xiaoxian was still here.

"Liang Tongzhi, what is the situation between Zhao Gebu and Mrs. Gu?"

What he asked was the situation, what he wanted to know was conversation, Tao Xiaoshen didn't understand the meaning of the words, and immediately said the bizarre conversation between the husband and wife with a wry smile.

And when Liang Xiaoxian returned to the palace, he was interrogated by the emperor.

He secretly thought: My father-in-law confessed, I am more unpredictable than the previous emperor, reminding me to be more cautious when serving, this is really true, so much that I dare not be careless, I will break every word of the emperor's words and figure it out, and imagine countless possibilities, otherwise I am afraid of the emperor's question now.

Indeed, on the evening of this day, Lan Ting was taken out of his cell, for the Emperor was finally going to interrogate him himself.

The emperor stood in front of the gate of the edict, looking up at the brilliant glow of the western sky on this day, the yellow robe was replaced by a green robe, and the black crown was replaced by a golden crown, as if he had returned to the throne before ascending to the throne, he was the one who could still tease each other with Zhao Ji, but in fact, they both knew that at this point, neither of them could go back to the beginning.

"My Jinyi Wei knows that it is really not as good as the period of the ancestors, and he is in charge of the edict and prison, and he treats the suspect so well, no wonder King Anping's case has been tried for these days but there is no conclusion." The emperor did not withdraw his gaze to watch the sunset, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his lips.

Lan Ting took a step back, staring at the emperor's small side of his face, and smiled: "The emperor knows that the minister did not commit those crimes, but what the emperor needs is nothing more than the minister to admit his guilt." ”

"You're wrong." The emperor raised his eyebrows lightly: "What I need is not for you to confess, what I need is for you to know that as long as I make up my mind that there is nothing impossible, I can dismiss your position and imprison you, and I can also return your innocence and still let you be a high-ranking official. ”

Lan Ting also raised his eyebrows: "High-ranking officials? The emperor really forgot that he didn't want to pay the price of a meal for this minister. ”

The Emperor finally stopped looking west, and withdrew his gaze to Lan Ting.

In fact, it has been many years, and they have not even spoken so close and face-to-face, the throne needs to keep a distance from the courtiers, he has seen too many chapters, and his eyesight has been greatly affected recently, and he often sits on the dragon chair and looks at the courtiers below with blurred eyebrows, but now he can see clearly, it turns out that time has also stopped on Zhao Lanting

Finish.

Even if he is in prison, he is still as gentleman as jade.

"If this is your original intention and persistence, then why not take a step at this time? If you are willing to give in, I will promise you that you will no longer be obsessed with the immediate crusade against Houjin, I can even promise you to immediately set up Da Lang as the prince, I will let you not serve as the crown prince, then in the future, Da Lang will ascend the throne, and the implementation is still the political concept of Ji Bei, so that the world can ensure long-term peace and stability, and do not want to pay the price for the sake of the monarch and thousands of people? ”

"The emperor let the ministers take this step, where to retreat?"

"Although I love and harmonize with Mrs. Zun, I don't have a long life, and Mrs. Zun dies of illness."

"Your Majesty, is this an attempt to emulate the Han Wu Jinwu Zangjiao? No, the minister is pretending to be a pawn, the Han Wu Jinwu Zangjiao is the queen of the Chen family, but she can only hate the throne and the power but empathize and betray her trust, and it cannot be compared with the emperor's intentions at this time. The emperor wanted to force the ministers to betray their righteousness first, and exchange their wives for glory and wealth, so that Neizi's heart was like ashes, and the emperor persuaded Neizi to change his surname and bury his name and live quietly in the deep palace from then on......"

"Zhao Lanting, don't think that I can't give the queen of the Spring Return, what if so many people have seen the Spring Return? I want to say that it is just a look, who dares to question it? ”

"Dare to ask the emperor, if you want to set up another queen, how to deal with the current middle palace? There is no mistake in the middle palace, and the abolition of the throne for no reason, not to mention whether the inner son is willing to involve the queen innocently to suffer this catastrophe, do the civil and military officials above the court agree that the emperor is so absurd and violates Mingde? The monarch should rule the country with courtesy, and the king of a country should be an example to pursue benevolence, only in this way can there be a foundation to make the world peaceful, the society is stable, and everyone in the world may be capricious, and anyone can be absurd for a while.

Yes, the emperor is the king of a country, and no one dares to punish the emperor's crimes, but what is a traitorous concubine who misleads the country? Are there still few cases in history where the Qing monarch side finally led to the punishment of the red face? At that time, the emperor will be sure that he can keep his son safe? If the emperor kills for his own selfish desires, what is the difference between him and the unscrupulous tyrant of the emperor, then the emperor's conditions for agreeing to his ministers today are not like empty words? ”

"Before the return of time and moon, Chungui has no intention of fighting for power with the queen, so I just need Zhao Ji not to give in to you, and you give up Chungui for the sake of the society and the common people......"

"The emperor thinks that if he forces his ministers to back down, Neiko will empathize? Are you willing to commit yourself to a despicable but powerful villain? The minister knows Neiko better than the emperor, and Neiko will never survive. ”

"Zhao Lanting, I don't need you to tell me these big truths, I just need you to give me an answer, beg for death or live!"

"The emperor is not forcing the minister to make a choice, but in fact, he is forcing the inner son to make a choice, is it to protect the humiliating survival of the minister's life, or to live and die with the minister Although there is no regret, the minister will not let the inner son face the choice, so the minister can only force the emperor, please make a ruling, between the selfish desires of the country and the mountains, what should be important!"

"Are you saying that if I execute you Zhao Lanting, the society will collapse?!" Qin Xun sneered: "Zhao Lanting, you also overestimate yourself!" ”

"The minister waits for death, in order to solve the misfortune of the common people in the world, and to live is like a traitor, it is unjust in the world, it is disloyal to the first king, and it is unrighteous in the wife's room, this is the choice of the minister."

Lan Ting gave a salute and went to prison again.
