Chapter Forty-Nine: Beheading the Prisoner

In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, and during this time, Fei Cai has been in prison.

The good news is that he's not dead yet, and the mission isn't over, and the bad news is that he may die eventually, and the mission is ...... Dead and dead, what do you care about the mission?

So far, the Xuan Dynasty government's opinion on Fei Cai's disposal is "beheading the prison marquis", in today's words, it is "a suspended execution of the death penalty".

As for how long the reprieve, there is no certainty in the feudal society of the Xuan Dynasty, which has an imperfect legal system. It is said that in the past there was an official in the Xuan Dynasty who was sentenced to be beheaded and waited for ten years...... This guy is idle, and he wrote a book in prison.

As a modern person, as a modern person who is accustomed to air conditioning, Simmons, pure cotton bedding, and so on, the ancient prison life of the past 20 days has tormented him badly.

If you want to stay here for a few more years...... Fei Cai couldn't help but think of the words of the Lord God: Haven't you heard a saying that life is better than death?

But if he wants to get out of this prison, he really can't do it now. First of all, his ability as a sword cultivator can't be used in this world, after all, this is a mission world.

Secondly, his strength level is 10, which corresponds to the strength of the characters in the mission world. And this character is naturally Xiao Sheng - Xiao Sheng can chant hand-me-down poems, and his strength is naturally good. But the key point is that because Fei Cai died himself, his Wen Palace has been shattered by the emperor! And so far, there is no sign of repair in the Wen Palace.

During this time, Fei Cai also tried to find two poems from the library in his head, pretending to be composed by himself, and recited them with his head shaken, but the result was ...... It didn't work at all.

In the final analysis, he is a science dog, and he can't understand the deep meaning of these famous poems and sentences from the bottom of his heart, even if Xiao Sheng can pass on his Wengong and talent, but the understanding and recognition of poetry cannot be taught by anyone.

What's more, now his literary palace is fragile and his talent has been dispersed.

What a desperate ......

There was a "clang", and the cell door suddenly opened. Fei Cai looked up and saw two jailers with long knives hanging from their waists standing in the doorway, he had experienced this situation many times, and he knew at a glance that he was about to be interrogated again.

Speaking of which, in the past half a month, the Xuanchao government itself has been tossed enough. The **** was dragged out of the Jinluan Palace, and after the emperor was furious, he soon asked the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Punishment to jointly try the incident.

The three interrogated a scholar together, and Fei Cai suddenly felt that he had more face!

What kind of standard treatment is this? This is equivalent to the Central Organization Department, the Ministry of Culture, and the Supreme People's Court coming to try him together! If Fei Cai is a talent in modern society, can he have such a face? At most, one district-level court will sentence him.

But it makes sense for the emperor to appoint these three to try him.

Since Fei Cai has already reached the step of participating in the palace examination, under normal circumstances, the next step is to enter the circle of the bureaucracy, and it is natural for the officials to intervene.

The Ministry of Rites is responsible for the imperial examination, so naturally they have their share in this matter.

The Criminal Department is responsible for the trial of major cases, and Fei Cai has made a lot of noise in the Jinluan Palace, and it is not a major case?

But it is precisely because it is a triage that disagreements inevitably arise.

First of all, the officials are very supportive of Fei Cai, they believe that the palace examination is originally to require candidates to state their own opinions, as for whether this point of view is right or not, whether it is in line with the emperor's wishes, that is another matter, and Fei Cai's crime cannot be punished because his views are not in line with the emperor's wishes. When the prime minister of the court often argued with the emperor, why didn't he see the emperor punish him? On the contrary, this kind of person who dares to sacrifice his life to admonish each other is the seedling of a good official. As for the rupture of Wen Ren's Wen Palace, it was purely because of his own unstable literary heart, Fei Cai chanted the first poem, and he didn't really attack Wen Ren, he felt that he was at a loss, and the Wen Palace was broken, so who can blame him?

There are a lot of high-sounding reasons for the officials' department, but in fact, there is a real reason that is inconvenient to say: the officials are the base camp of the civil official group, and the civilian official group is the base camp of the main and faction, why is the civil official group in charge of peace? It is not necessarily for the sake of Xuanguo Sheji, the most direct reason is that the Xuanguo army fights every year, and the military generals are easy to accumulate military merits, and they are promoted far faster than civilian officials.

And Fei Cai, who was actually Xiao Sheng, made that statement in the main hall, and the bigwigs of the civil official group listened to it, and they all silently praised it in their hearts.

This young man is very much to my liking, and he can be taught!

It was not easy to find such a good seedling of the main peace faction, and the civilian-bureaucratic clique resorted to all kinds of means to protect the hard work.

The position of the Ministry of Officials is clear, and what about the Ministry of Rites in the future, they are also willing to think that Fei Cai is not guilty. Actually, the reason is very simple: the imperial examination is organized by the Ministry of Rites, and if Fei is guilty, then doesn't the Ministry of Rites also have the responsibility of being ineffective in organizing and selecting people poorly? When Fei is sentenced, the Ministry of Rites will definitely have to come up with a few people to take the blame, how bad is that!

Therefore, the attitude of the Ministry of Rites is: Fei Cai, the way in which this young man expresses his views is a little inappropriate, but the original intention is still good, and he is still sincere to the emperor and the country......

Since there is a ministry as the first bird, the Ministry of Rites is naturally happy to follow behind.

Finally, there is the Criminal Department. In the eyes of the Criminal Department, Fei Cai's crime is serious!

I don't know if it was the emperor's instructions, or the criminal department's own thoughts, all in all, the criminal department thought that Fei Cai was suspected of collaborating with the enemy and plotting rebellion, and at the same time, he was "disrespectful" to the emperor in the palace, and the crime should be punished. Without your nine clans, it is already considered the emperor's mercy!

The three departments, divided into two factions, quarreled openly and secretly intrigued, each used its own means, and fought in a mess.

In addition to the three, there is also a key figure - the emperor.

If you want to talk about the emperor's opinion, he naturally wants to die in his heart, but he can't show it! This kind of matter of being convicted for words has always been very sensitive!

Before he reached the time when the jar was broken, he still wanted to be a "Ming Jun" for a hundred years. But if he does too much this time, what will the officials think of him? What will they say about him in the history books in the future?

At this moment, another thing happened.

The poem "Leaving the Fortress" that Fei Cai chanted in the main hall actually spread through some channel! It aroused tremendous repercussions among the great writers and scholars! Many people even believe that this poem is actually the first poem since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it is a well-deserved poem that has been handed down to the world!

What's even more ironic is that this anti-war poem with the theme was quickly discovered, and it was actually a pretty good war poem, although it was not very offensive, but in terms of defensive assistance, it can be described as the first in the war poem, especially the sentence "The nations have their own borders", which almost has the effect of leveling the Great Wall!

At this moment, everyone knows it, even the emperor's heart understands that Fei Cai can't be killed.

In the end, the preliminary judgment of the three ministries on Fei Cai was "beheading the prison marquis", and as for when he waited, it is estimated that the emperor himself did not know......
