"You can rest assured, the old man will do his best to stay for your Wang family! Which of your grandchildren are you most optimistic about? After much deliberation, Ning Guogong still decided to help the Xianhou clan leave a bloodline.

Although Ling Xianhou is at fault, he can be regarded as a credit to Dayan, and he should not end up with a tragic end where all the doors are destroyed.

What's more, if Wang Lin wants to be safe, he must have a mother's support!

Hearing this, Ling Xianhou was immediately overjoyed, knelt down directly, and said with tears streaming down his face: "Please accept the old man's worship!" โ€

Adversity sees the truth, the old man's kindness to him and the Wang family is not measurable in a few words, he can't think of any other way to thank him except kowtow and thank him!

He has nothing left!

Seeing that the high-spirited Ling Xianhou in the past was now prostrate at his feet, Ning Guogong was not happy at all, but felt very uncomfortable.

"Hurry up!" Ning Guogong personally helped Ling Xianhou up.

After a pause, Ning Guogong asked solemnly: "You think clearly, which one do you want to protect?" โ€

Let the virtuous marquis form a party for personal gain, this is unbearable for Emperor Yongli, even if he has the ability to pass through the sky, he can't exonerate or reduce his responsibility, he can at most stimulate the kindness of Emperor Yongli to his teacher in his heart, and ask Emperor Yongli to open up his net and leave a man for the Wang family!

This is a difficult and cruel choice.

After a long time, he frowned, and finally said his answer, he said: "Grandpa Lao Guo rescued Tao'er!" โ€

His children and grandchildren are really not successful, the only smart one is only one Wang Jin, Wang Tao is also mediocre in qualifications, but fortunately, he is kind and generous, willing to endure hardships and study, if he can be promoted by Ning Guogong, he can barely gain a foothold in the court!

"The old man will do his best! Make the virtuous marquis cherished! Ning Guogong nodded, and then said goodbye heavily.

There are still a few princes outside the prison waiting for him to go to the palace to restore his life! He couldn't have stayed here any longer!

As soon as Ning Guogong left, the cell door was "clang!" The lock fell, and the virtuous marquis sat on the ground in a daze, watching Ning Guogong leave step by step.

After a long time, Ning Guogong's still upright figure disappeared into the dim and long corridor of the heavenly prison, and the virtuous marquis smiled.

Laughing and laughing, he slapped himself a few times, and tears of remorse fell.

Unexpectedly, when he was in trouble, it was Ning Guogong, who he had worked so hard to target and calculate, who had reached out to help!

It's really ridiculous to think about, if it weren't for his narrow-mindedness that Ning Guogong looked down on their Wang family, and insisted on going his own way and refusing to listen to Wang Tao's admonition to calculate Ning Guogong's lineage, how could he have arrived in this prison so quickly?

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

"Damn it! His Royal Highnesses have been waiting for a long time! As soon as he walked out of the gate, Ning Guogong bowed to Gu Mingyan and the brothers.

"Ning Guo's words are serious!" Gu Mingyan smiled slightly and said softly.

The rest of the princes were also smiling, and they didn't have the slightest impatience to wait for a long time.

"Ning Guogong has arrived, then let's go back to the palace to meet our father and the emperor quickly!" Gu Mingyan continued to say softly.

He was the elder, and he was generous and gentle, and the princes respected him very much, so naturally they had no objection to his words, so they got into the carriage that had been prepared and went to the palace.

Two hours later, they arrived outside the door of the imperial study.

Because Emperor Yongli had already instructed, as soon as they stepped on the steps, Changde shook the dust and greeted them.

"A few of His Royal Highnesses, the grandfathers of the same country, can be regarded as back! Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time, please hurry up and come inside! He said anxiously.

Today, so many ministers' mansions were raided at once, and Emperor Yongli was also very uncomfortable and impetuous, and he had already been angry several times, and Changde and the palace people were all frightened and cautious.

"It's us who are slowing down!" Gu Mingyan said apologetically.

With that, he took the lead in walking inside, and Ning Guogong and several other princes also followed quickly.

Soon, they arrived at the inner hall, and sure enough, they saw Emperor Yongli sitting on the top with a gloomy face.

"Erchen (Lao Chen) knocks on his father (His Majesty)!"

Gu Mingyan and the others hurriedly knelt on the ground and bowed.

"Flat!" Emperor Yongli lazily raised his hand and said.

Gu Mingyan bowed his head wordlessly and thanked him, and then stood up together.

"How's it going?" Emperor Yongli lowered his eyes and gently rubbed his swollen sideburns and asked.

"Back to my father, a total of 728 criminals and their families have all been arrested and brought to justice!" Gu Mingyan replied respectfully.

Emperor Yongli's hand paused, and then said, "I know!" Go down, all of you. โ€

Emperor Yongli is a meritorious emperor, although he is majestic, but he is not a tyrant, and it is the first time that hundreds of people have been sentenced to behead at once, and he can't help but be a little tired.

Gu Mingyan knew that Emperor Yongli was not in a good mood at the moment, and he didn't want to be disturbed, so he immediately said from the good side: "The son of the minister retires!" โ€

When several princes resigned, Ning Guogong did not follow suit, but knelt down and said, "The old minister still has something important to come back to!" โ€

Emperor Yongli frowned, Ning Guogong is not a fool who doesn't know how to look at his face, what does he want to report at this time?

He was puzzled, but he didn't miss anything on his face, and he first said to a few princes who resigned: "Go down!" โ€

Gu Mingyan and the others retreated according to their words and deeds, and only after several princes had left the room did he set his eyes on Ning Guogong.

"What does Aiqing have to give to me alone?"

Emperor Yongli's voice was very calm, but Ning Guogong directly choked his head and said: "The old minister has the courage to beg His Majesty to spare the life of Wang Tao, who made the virtuous marquis!" โ€

"Smack!" Emperor Yongli slapped the table, glared at Ning Guogong fiercely, and reprimanded loudly: "Aiqing is going to let me change the order of the dynasty?" What's more, it is an unforgivable crime for the virtuous marquis to form a party for personal gain, and to spread minions in the court, if I forgive Wang Tao, what face should I use to face those loyal subjects? โ€

This is the first time that Emperor Yongli has spoken harshly to Ning Guogong.

Ning Guogong was silent, and did not directly answer Emperor Yongli's torture, but knelt quietly.

After waiting for a long time, when Emperor Yongli's breathing was no longer short, he said: "The old minister is not ignorant of His Majesty's difficulties!" But...... Ling Xianhou has galloped through the government and the opposition for decades, and he has always been conscientious, and he has indeed made countless contributions to Dayan! โ€

"Not only that, but he also served as an emperor's teacher, carefully taught His Majesty, and cultivated a wise monarch for my Dayan, which can be described as immeasurably meritorious! The old minister felt that he really shouldn't have ended up in a miserable end! โ€

Ning Guogong's words were sincere and heartfelt, and he was a little choked up in the end.

He really sympathized with the plight of the Marquis Lingxian, and this sympathy was more of a desolation from the heart in addition to the affection of being a courtier with the court for many years.

He thought, if it weren't for the fact that he was a descendant of the Su clan of Ningguo Gong, he would probably end up half a point better than Ling Xianhou!

Rabbit dead dog cooking!

Emperor Yongli was silent, his cold face had eased a little, and the dragon eyes that were fixed on Ning Guogong also flashed with a hint of emotion.

Obviously, he also remembered the contribution that Ling Xianhou had made to him and to Dayan.

Thinking about it carefully, if it weren't for Ling Xianhou running around for him and lobbying around, he wouldn't have sat on this dragon chair so easily.

After all, among all the royal brothers and brothers, his mother's Baili clan is really too weak to be worth mentioning at all!

In that tragic battle for succession, it was the aristocratic families who made the virtuous marquis lobby to protect him!

"Your Majesty! All the old minister asks is to spare Wang Tao's life and leave a bloodline for the Lingxian family, not for you to forgive their sins! Ning Guogong continued to kowtow and pleaded.

His words made Emperor Yongli fall into a tangle.

As he said, just leaving a bloodline of the Wang family is not to forgive the entire Wang family, but it will not cause the indignation of the ministers......

Seeing that Emperor Yongli was tempted, Ning Guogong continued: "Your Majesty! If you spare Wang Tao's life, don't you just prove to the world that you are a benevolent, affectionate and righteous gentleman? โ€

His words suddenly dispelled the only remaining doubts in Emperor Yongli's heart.

Although his doubts were dispelled, Emperor Yongli still did not directly agree to Ning Guogong, but said tiredly: "You let me think about it again!" โ€

Ning Guogong knew that Emperor Yongli had probably made a decision, so he didn't say anything more, and knelt down directly.

After he left, Emperor Yongli left Changde alone, and after half an hour, Emperor Yongli issued a holy decree to pardon Wang Tao's capital crimes, and exiled him to the wasteland of northern Xinjiang.

That night, a noble and mysterious man came to the prison, and this man brought only one servant to the cell where Ling Xianhou was being held, and all the guards were stunned and knelt on the ground along the way.

After entering the cell of the Marquis of Ling Xian, the mysterious man took off the cloak that covered most of his face, and his face was cold and solemn, and he was the Emperor Yongli.

Ling Xianhou was shocked, and hurriedly bowed, "The criminal minister has seen Your Majesty!" โ€

Emperor Yongli silently looked at the unkempt and haggard Marquis Lingxian, his deep eyes were full of sorrow.

Chang De's ability to observe words and emotions is first-class, and he has long figured out Emperor Yongli's unbearable and regretful feelings for this Ling Xianhou who committed a big crime, and hurriedly and politely helped Ling Xianhou up.

"Teacher, I never thought I'd see you in such a place!" After a long time, Emperor Yongli sighed leisurely.

Ling Xianhou shouted in Emperor Yongli, "Teacher! When he said two words, he burst into tears, Emperor Yongli had never called him like this since he ascended the throne!

"Damn the sinner! It disturbed His Majesty to come to such a filthy place! Your Majesty, leave quickly! He saluted guiltily.

"Ning Guogong asked for a favor for you, Wang Tao is already on the way to the north at the moment. I will inform Yunyang to take care of him. Emperor Yongli ignored Marquis Ling, but said slowly.

Hearing this, Ling Xianhou hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" The sinner can be blinded even if he dies now! โ€

"I never wanted to do this to my teacher, but ...... Why are you never satisfied? Emperor Yongli asked coldly.
