Chapter Forty-Seven: Master Ji, Go and Stay Too
He actually even lowered all the torture instruments, except for the weapons on his body that were taken away and turned into bare hands, the others are probably the same as in normal days.
But he doesn't like the kind of days when it's hard to see the sun, and the wind doesn't last long.
With the prison door closed, he finally became a prisoner, and now he has completely relaxed. He quietly looked at the palace guards and jailers outside, the warden "Eagle", and the treacherous and cunning Lord Jingzhao Yin Ji, like a hurried passerby.
Ji Xiaoguang felt that something was wrong in the air, all the previous high-spirits had dissipated, he looked around with a gloomy face, there was silence everywhere, the silence was very strange, so that he could almost feel his heartbeat.
"This official is busy with affairs today, and he suddenly feels tired, and he has to go back to rest." He let his face soothe, raised his head, and tried his best to maintain the majestic posture of Lord Jing Zhao Yin on weekdays, and he was about to step first and leave the atmosphere that made him feel oppressive.
But the palace general took a step ahead of him and stood in front of him.
The surrounding palace guards all tightened forward, making a momentum of attack.
Seeing this, the Warden Eagle looked at each other with the jailers around him and the officials of the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, and their eyes were full of a look called fear.
"What do you want to do, murder the court officials, or in this prison!?" Ji Xiaoguang's heart "chuckled", it had sunk to the bottom, his face was completely black, and although his voice was as cold as before, he had already lost his usual calmness.
"How can Ben Jiang have such courage," the palace general raised his eyebrows, and his expression maintained the kind of Gujing Wubo who only put Zhongjun first, "It's just that Master Ji, Captain Guan has entered, and now it's your turn, along the way, you sit in a sedan chair, which can be regarded as Your Majesty's Longen to you, and at the same time, Ben General also gave you a lot of face, now, you can also go in." ”
As he spoke, the palace general stretched out his arm and pointed towards the untidy cell next to Guan Kuo, which looked like a mess and looked cold and desolate.
Ji Xiaoguang couldn't believe what he had heard, first his teeth were crooked, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, and then his breathing became rapid with shock, fear, and even anger.
While exhaling and inhaling rapidly, the expression on his face became extremely exciting, and at the same time, he kept looking around, left, right, and right, as if he wanted to look at someone, but he didn't have a specific goal, so he looked up to the sky and laughed: "Haha! Ha ha! ”
He laughed twice, stopped abruptly, lowered his head, and looked at the palace general, his eyes were full of resentment and hatred, as well as most of his unwillingness.
His voice was icy and piercing:
"General, you're playing with me, aren't you? Open your eyes and see clearly, this official is Lord Jing Zhaoyin, and the stability of the entire Chang'an is under the protection of this official, you are joking with me here, you want to get me, is it possible that you want to come hard? Although there are many of you, there are also many jailers here, you are really bold! ”
The palace general fully demonstrated the mechanical nature of their loyalty to His Majesty alone, and in the face of Ji Xiaoguang's direct provocation and humiliation, his face did not change, he was still unwavering, and said:
"All this is ordered by Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been worried about the monarch for so many years, and there is no merit and hard work, so on such a cold day, outside the prison, I can't bear to let you walk with shackles, and I can't bear to let you show jokes to the people of Chang'an, which is already considered to be benevolent and righteous."
"Master Ji, the following words were brought to you by Gonggong Peng, who was not in good health and went back first, of course, I also have some opinions of my own: Your Majesty is very angry, you just said that you are busy with affairs today and your body is tired, I don't know what you are busy with. Your Majesty's will for you and Captain Guan, Captain Guan is desperate, risking being hated by the various provinces of Chang'an, and insists on carrying it out, but what about you? You don't seem to have done anything, and even closed the door of the palace under Your Majesty's nose, and you don't think that Your Majesty doesn't know this. Therefore, the culpability of the captain is only misexecution, but you are disobeying the order, and you know very well that your crime is much greater than that of the captain. ”
The palace general said so much in one breath, and then said to Ji Xiaoguang, whose face was terrifying and hideous, and the blue tendons on his forehead jumped:
"Don't think about it anymore, come on, there is a holy decree here, Gonggong Peng is not here, I won't read it, you can see for yourself."
He took out the piece of holy decree embroidered with auspicious clouds and cranes from his bosom and handed it to Ji Xiaoguang.
Ji Xiaoguang stood there, his face red and white, and he didn't pick it up for a long time.
"Master Ji!"
The palace general raised his voice, reminding the other party not to forget his identity, and not to forget what was in front of him now.
Ji Xiaoguang clenched his left fist tightly, stretched out his right hand, and took the holy decree in his hand.
His hands were firm and not trembling at all.
Although he was very excited, he held the holy decree steadily, and it could even be said that he grabbed it.
No one could tell if it was hatred or despair, or something else.
Behind him is Guan Kuo, who is lying leisurely on the bed.
Guan Kuo originally felt that he should show a very cheerful expression, and even laughed and taunted Ji Xiaoguang a few times, but after such a long time, he couldn't have that kind of emotion at all, just like an outsider, lying there and not wanting to move more.
It can be said that when he heard the words of the palace general in the first year, he was shocked and surprised, in his opinion, Ji Xiaoguang has been rampant in Chang'an for so many years, His Majesty is reluctant, and with Ji Xiaoguang's own strength, it is not so easy to be put down at all, however, it is so easy, this Lord Jing Zhaoyin was put in prison like this, which is really ridiculous.
In fact, he didn't understand that in the last incident, His Majesty just let Ji Xiaoguang kneel for so many days, which was already extremely benevolent, it was an opportunity given by His Majesty to Ji Xiaoguang, and it also showed His Majesty's favor for Ji Xiaoguang, after all, looking at the price of Bai Zhang's three people, it is very clear when you compare it. However, Ji Xiaoguang angered His Majesty again and again, relying on His Majesty's favor to him, and unscrupulously disobeyed His Majesty's will, which can also be said to have not taken His Majesty seriously at all.
Just as the palace general relayed the words of Gonggong Peng: Your Majesty said so, right? You understand, and so does Guan Kuo, right? Guan Kuo did this, regardless of whether he did it right or not, but he did it seriously, and the next moment he got the will, he did it immediately, he really put His Majesty first, but what about you, Lord Ji, what are you doing? Closing the door is simply not knowing whether to live or die! This position of Lord Jing Zhaoyin, you just don't want to do it yourself, no wonder others.
