The prison of the Ministry of Punishment, a dark and confined space, two rows of dim oil lamps pass through the entire corridor, the air is filled with a rotten and cold atmosphere, although the temperature is only a little lower than the outside, but Long Yizheng feels a biting chill as soon as he walks in.

The jailer opened the cell door, Yao Yingjie saw that someone was coming, he immediately stood up and straightened up to greet him respectfully, and as soon as the person came forward, Yao Yingjie immediately saluted and said, "See your lord." ”

"Governor Yao, are you guilty?" Long Yizheng stared at Yao Yingjie and threw it in front of him.

Yao Yingjie bent down to pick up the fold, slowly straightened up and said, "The words played by Yao are true, please be aware of them!" ”

Long Yizheng looked at it carefully, and said in a deep tone: "Do you know that slander is a serious crime, and its crime should be punished!" ”

Yao Yingjie took a deep breath, straightened his chest, and said awe-inspiringly: "Xiao Peng, the general stationed in Xiangzhou, is corrupt in the enclosure, privately recruiting soldiers and horses, Xiangzhou is divided into military power since the day it was recovered by my Tiansheng, and it has not changed over the years, Xiao Peng is now strong and strong, and the essence is already counted as a separatist party, this person will make trouble sooner or later, and it will definitely become a major hidden danger to the imperial court in the future. ”

Yao Yingjie's generosity and outspokenness were not flustered, it seemed that he had been prepared, the emperor was very strange, the temptation did not achieve the slightest effect at all, the emperor and Liu Hongtai walked in, Long Yizheng immediately saluted, Yao Yingjie heard that the person was actually the emperor, and hurriedly knelt down, his head was almost on the ground, and bowed: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live." ”

The emperor looked down at Yao Yingjie and said to Liu Hongtai: "Hongtai, you are familiar with the law, how should Yao Yingjie be convicted this time?" ”

Liu Hongtai saluted and replied: "According to Tiansheng's law, if the crime is true, Yao Yingjie should be beheaded for his crime!" ”

Hearing that the emperor seemed to be condemning himself, Yao Yingjie simply straightened his chest, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and said: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die!" Weichen is willing to admit his guilt, and only hopes that the court can strictly investigate Xiao Peng! ”

The emperor looked at Long Yizheng, Long Yizheng immediately understood, he looked at Liu Hongtai and said: "This king sees that Yao Yingjie is a loyal minister, can Zuo Xiang leave him a way to live?" ”

Liu Hongtai immediately understood, and said solemnly: "Tiansheng's law, once you confess, it cannot be modified, since King Yi speaks, then you can change the beheading to the public to hang the public." ”

Yao Yingjie suddenly felt that something was wrong, things could not be reversed, and suddenly changed color, thinking that he was really going to lose his life this time, his heart chuckled, and his legs were weak and paralyzed and sat on the ground.

The emperor looked at Liu Hongtai and said, "Then show the public, right?" ”

"Governor Yao, why don't you hurry up and thank you?" Liu Hongtai looked at Yao Yingjie with a blank face.

Yao Yingjie was stunned for a moment, and when he heard Liu Hongtai call him the prefect, he immediately understood what the emperor meant, and he escaped from death, so he instantly cheered up and kowtowed excitedly: "Thank you to the emperor Longen!" ”

Long Yizheng couldn't help but ask curiously: "Governor Yao seems to have expected that he would not die. ”

Yao Yingjie looked at Long Yizheng and hurriedly replied: "To tell the truth, Wei Chen's outspoken words are indeed guided by a master!" ”

"Oh?" When the emperor heard this, he was also curious, "Which master is it?" ”

"Back to the emperor, Wechen met a girl in the pharmacy a few days ago, and the girl said that Wechen must be in danger this time, and ......" Yao Yingjie said, suddenly stopped.

"And what?" The emperor listened to Yao Yingjie's words and became even more curious.

Yao Yingjie hesitated for a moment, and then said, "That girl still said...... Wei Chen will be added to the rank this time. ”

The emperor and the others were taken aback when they heard Yao Yingjie's words, and the emperor suddenly smiled and said, "Which girl is it, who dares to guess the holy will." ”

Yao Yingjie pondered for a moment and said, "That girl didn't dare to report her home, and Weichen didn't know her identity. ”

The emperor became more and more curious, and continued to ask with interest: "What is the basis for her to say this?" ”

Yao Yingjie replied cautiously: "That girl's basis is that the emperor is Mingjun!" ”

"Hahaha......" the emperor laughed heartily, "these words come out of the mouth of a woman, I love to hear them!" ”

Long Yizheng couldn't help but wonder what kind of girl she was completely guessing the holy will.

"Hongtai!" The emperor called, Liu Hongtai immediately stepped forward to wait for the order, and the emperor smiled and said, "Since my mind has already been guessed, there is no need to leave any more suspense." With that, he strode away.

The corners of Long Yizheng's mouth raised slightly, glanced at Yao Yingjie, and then left the prison.

Liu Hongtai took out the holy decree from his bosom and read it aloud: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor summoned and said: Yao Yingjie, the prefect of Xiangzhou, has no evidence for his crimes, Yao Yingjie is honest and law-abiding during his tenure, and he is conscientious, and he is specially named the governor of Xiangzhou, and he is promoted to a rank, and he is here!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" Yao Yingjie was excited.

The pile of recitals on the dragon case in the imperial study is stacked high, which can already be described as a mountain, thinking about it for so many years, my father has worked so hard every day! For a long time, Long Yi was waiting for the emperor to rest, and asked cautiously: "Father doesn't plan to beat that Xiao Peng now?" ”

Gonggong Chang immediately stepped forward to serve tea carefully, the emperor took a sip, and said in a deep tone: "Xiangzhou's military power is handed over to him by me, and I know his ability best, I Tiansheng has been stable for so many years, and when Xiao Peng's military power is withdrawn has to rely on tough means, at present, he is not enough to become an emergency that must be eradicated, I am not in a hurry, I am waiting for the opportunity, and I am also waiting for a person." ”

"Who is Father waiting for?"

"Father is waiting for you!" The emperor's sharp eyes looked at Long Yizheng, and said meaningfully, "Father and the emperor will fatten him up again and give King Yi a lot of practice." ”

Long Yizheng's expression immediately became serious, and he said seriously: "Erchen knows." ”

"Do you know how to deal with Yao Yingjie this time?"

Long Yizheng replied rigorously: "Xiao Peng wanted Yao Yingjie to die, but his father gave Yao Yingjie a promotion and sent him back to Xiangzhou, first, to warn and suppress, and second, there is a governor loyal to the imperial court on Xiao Peng's head, and his future life will not be comfortable." ”

The emperor flipped the fold casually with one hand, and the light cat wrote lightly: "Wu Jianzhen of Yunbei has not been edicted for many years, and I will have to edict him to enter Beijing in the coming year, this person and his eldest son Wu Zhehan, you pay more attention." ”

Long Yizheng's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he instantly understood what his father meant, and immediately replied: "Erchen understands!" ”

The emperor nodded with satisfaction.

"Father is in a very good mood today."

The emperor smiled and gently put the teacup on the red sandalwood table, "Tiansheng has many talents, a woman can be so smart, I really want to reward this person, but it's a pity that ......"

Long Yizheng smiled slightly, and Wen Youran's appearance suddenly flashed in his mind, and he came back to his senses and said: "That woman didn't dare to report that out of the house, and her father's failure to find her was the best reward for her." ”

The emperor smiled heartily, and said after a while: "Next month, I will go on a southern tour, and the court will be handed over to Zuo Xiang and King Yu to take care of it. ”

Long Yizheng arched his hand and replied seriously: "The son obeys the order." ”
