The emperor was stubborn: "Fengqing's family, you also said just now, Duan Zisheng of Dali Temple has been sentenced and the execution is suspended." I believe that waiting for the case to be clarified, if the emperor has not violated the law and committed a crime, Dali Temple will definitely release him. ”

These words made Hong Chengan quite speechless, and he didn't show any expression on his face.

Feng Nanyang felt that what the emperor said was not unreasonable. A rough analysis shows nothing wrong. However, not afraid of ten thousand, only in case. What if Chu Tiankuo and them were killed before the case was cleared?

After thinking about it, Feng Nanyang was kind and instructive, and his head was analyzed: "What the emperor said is very true. Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid. If the prince is not guilty, he will be released after the case is cleared. However, has the emperor thought about it? If the identity of the prince is revealed, it is inevitable that there will be people with ill intentions who will be unfavorable to the prince. Then he is in danger in the prison. ”

He paused and continued: "Being in the prison is like fish on a chopping board, which can only be slaughtered by a knife. ”

The emperor's face sank, and he blurted out: "Bold! Who dares to murder my son! ”

When Feng Nanyang and Hong Chengan heard this, they both looked at each other. The two of them remained silent and laughed in their hearts.

The emperor's words have betrayed his heart. As soon as the words came out, he immediately realized that something was wrong. Hey, as the Ninety-Five, he is high. It is not cold in high places, and you must be cautious in your words everywhere. The so-called gentleman has no jokes, and it is common to say insincerely.

He felt that Feng Nanyang's words were not unreasonable. These words rang a bell for him. The prince is in a prison, and if someone wants to harm him, it is simply easy. This matter should not be taken lightly.

The emperor pondered for a while, and finally changed his mind: "Feng Qing's family, pass on my message, pardon Chu Tiankuo and Chi Le, save them from prison, and restore their freedom." ordered Dali Siqing Duan Zisheng to thoroughly investigate the case and return them to a clean slate. If there is really something illegal or criminal, I will not tolerate it. ”

"Obey. The ministers Chu Tiankuo and Chi Le thanked the emperor. Feng Nanyang received the order to thank him.

"Father. You just said that the Son of Heaven broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. If you do this, I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among the subjects of the world, right? Hong Chengan couldn't help but ridicule his father.

The corners of the emperor's thin lips were raised strangely, and he stared at Hong Chengan with a smile: "Oh? Could it be that the emperor also wants to try that prison life? ”

What? Hong Cheng'an was stunned. The tiger's tail can't be touched. He licked his dry lips with his tongue and remained silent.

Feng Nanyang hurriedly mediated: "The prince was wronged. The emperor did this, it was a last resort, and it was excusable. ”

Emperor Hong Gaode is not a faint king, and he naturally has his reasons for doing this.

The emperor looked at Feng Nanyang with a smile and went down the steps: "What Feng Qing's family said is true." ”

Next, the three of them chatted a few more words, Feng Nanyang was concerned about Chu Tiankuo's safety, and he had no intention of staying here any longer. He got up and said goodbye: "Your Majesty, the minister will retire first." The minister went to Dali Temple, and brought the emperor's edict to Dali Temple, asking him to release him. ”

"Go ahead. There is Lao Fengqing's house. The emperor looked at him with white hair and said distressedly: "Fengqing's family take care of themselves." ”

After Feng Nanyang smiled perfunctorily, he hurriedly turned around and left.

"Wait!"

Feng Nanyang didn't take a few steps when he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him. He paused and turned back.

As the Emperor approached him, he said, "I have sent you down the mountain." ”

Feng Nanyang almost forgot about it. There are officers and soldiers guarding the bottom of the mountain. He said with a grim face: "This ...... Don't hide it from the emperor, the minister came from the mountain on the trail. Prepare to still walk down the trail. Thank the emperor for his kindness. ”

When the emperor heard this, he sneered: "Why is this? Feng Qing's family came to see me, and they still have to be sneaky? ”

Feng Nanyang realized that he had lost his words, and hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty, on the way to the minister, I heard that this Plum Blossom Mountain has been covered by the Shixian County Government, and outsiders are not allowed to take a step closer. When he arrived at the bottom of the mountain, he really saw a group of officers and soldiers guarding it. For convenience, the minister took the path uphill. ”

Unexpectedly, the emperor's eyebrows were raised, and he was taken aback: "Is this really the case?" ”

Now, it was Feng Nanyang's turn to be surprised. According to the emperor's reaction, Feng Nanyang had roughly guessed that the emperor did not know, and it seemed that the emperor did not do it. Well, it is highly likely that this was arranged by the queen. He wiped a cold sweat, fortunately he copied the path, otherwise, those people would not let him see the emperor.

Just when Feng Nanyang was out of his mind, the emperor had already waved his hand and summoned a few personal guards: "You guys send Lord Feng down the mountain." Along the way, bring up the guards at the bottom of the mountain. ”

"Yes! Subordinates obeyed. "The personal guards, the response is unanimous.

Feng Nanyang was going to refuse, and planned to take the path down the mountain again to avoid contact with the queen's people.

However, those personal guards received the order, and without saying anything, they led them down the mountain. It was not so much being led down the mountain as being pressed down the mountain.

He was also calm. Those people are loyal to the king. If the emperor tells them, of course they will do it. He didn't want to embarrass them, let alone entangle with the emperor any more. Anyway, the oracle is already coming, and the queen doesn't dare to do anything.

After Feng Nanyang left, the emperor asked Hong Chengan with a little annoyance: "Emperor, I ask you." Going out of the palace to hunt, whose idea was it? ”

Knowing this from Feng Nanyang's mouth, the emperor had a premonition that someone was calculating him.

This matter, Hong Chengxin already has an eyebrow. Just now, he was already aware of this problem. He vaguely felt that his queen mother seemed to be hiding something from him. But soon, he shook his head, how could he think of his queen mother so much?

At this moment, when asked by his father, Hong Chengan panicked, lowered his head slightly, and had no words on his lips. He just kicked the stones on the ground with his foot.

"Emperor, say!" The emperor asked solemnly, his thin lips pursed, and the corners of his cold and hard lips became colder and colder.

Hong Chengan smiled bitterly and said, "It's really Erchen who wants to learn by himself." ”

The cold light in the emperor's eyes turned into two sharp swords, stabbed straight at Hong Chengan, and roared: "Don't tell the truth!" ”

It is rare to see his father so angry, Hong Chengan only felt his legs tremble, and said: "It's the queen mother." She wants her sons to please their father. ”

The Emperor smiled coldly. Good queen, it's your idea again. even took advantage of his own son.

Such a sneer made Hong Chengan couldn't help but be in a trance. A chill rose from his heart. He felt that the days to come might not be peaceful.

An hour later, the personal guards who came down the mountain brought up the leader of the guards at the bottom of the mountain.

After some interrogation by the emperor, they finally said intermittently that it was instructed by the empress.

When the emperor heard this, he was furious and threatened to settle accounts with the queen.

Hong Cheng'an stood on his mother's side as always, and tried his best to help her say good things: "Father is angry and angry. The queen mother's move was also well-intentioned. Presumably she was worried about the safety of her sons and father, so she did this. beg the father and the emperor not to blame the queen mother. ”
