Cao Xi's statement seems to have some truth, officialdom has been the same since ancient times, presumably Renzong did this, and it also responded to the principle that he had to go down to the grassroots level to train for two years before becoming a big official.

The eleventh prince is in prison!

One hundred and ten clan relatives avoided the eleventh prince who was convicted of treason, and of course they would not go to the prison to see him. This is obviously human nature in the eyes of everyone, and even the usually good officials are not visited in prison.

Ruthless is the most emperor's family!

This is an iron-like law, and it is a bit difficult to pass the hurdle in Renzong's heart. Renzong suffered the betrayal of his uncle, the pain of losing his son, and the death of his beloved concubine this year. I'm afraid that no one can understand this kind of pain, and only the high-ranking Renzong suffers alone.

What's more, the ministers who have always supported themselves and assisted them in ascending to the throne, at a critical time, the first thing they think of is the continuation of imperial power, and what they think of is how to protect the power of the future. Renzong realized a kind of disregard for himself as emperor.

"Xiao Chunzi, hasn't anyone visited the eleventh prince yet?" Xiao Chunzi is a little eunuch who has just entered the palace, and Xiao Chunzi's parents did not survive in the Jianghuai drought before entering the palace.

In the palace, Haruko was bullied, so this little eunuch often cried secretly. is not only lonely in the palace, but also a miss for my parents.

However, he was discovered by Renzong and taken back to the palace to be a personal eunuch. Yan Wen should be panicked about this, until the emperor also rewarded him with a batch of jewels, and his heart finally settled down.

"Yes, just now, someone came to report! The new Dali Temple Cheng Bao Qingbao went to visit the prison cell. Koharuko replied cautiously, because he noticed that Renzong had a dark face all day.

"Oh! Good! Good! Renzong's brows finally relaxed, and he said two good words in a row.

"I just don't believe it, is there really no one in the world who wants to visit the prison? Koharuko, look! I'm still right! Renzong muttered.

Koharuko didn't answer, because he didn't understand what Renzong's words meant.

……

In front is the prison of the whitewashed Dali Temple.

"Bao Qing, you have to think clearly. Why do you have to come to visit the prison at this time? The eleventh prince is guilty of treason, and he may be sent to the vegetable market tomorrow. Cao Xi said very dissatisfied.

"Did you listen to me? Everyone can't avoid it, so it's better for you to visit the prison. Ming said that the early dynasty estimated that you would be killed by the imperial historians. You still don't speak? Also, if you're going, why do you have to pull me? ”

Bao Qing glanced back at Cao Xi, who was slow, and spit out words: "Did the Cao family send another woman into the palace?" ”

Cao Xi's face was shocked, and he didn't know why Bao Qing suddenly asked about this matter.

"Do you want your Cao family to be in the emperor's heart in the future and keep the glory and wealth of the first generation?" Bao Qing asked rhetorically.

Cao Xi nodded, not for himself, but also for the clan, the Cao family is not a small family, and many clansmen need to take shelter by themselves.

"Then you will come with me to visit the Eleventh Prince." Bao Qing said.

Cao Xi was a little puzzled, and asked weakly: "You mean, the official family is looking at the prison with wide eyes at the moment?" See who dares to visit? ”

Cao Xi suddenly thought that if it weren't for Bao Qing, he would have died outside Bazhou City a long time ago. What Bao Qing can say, it is absolutely impossible to be wrong. Thinking of this, Cao Xi strode into the prison with Bao Qing.

The prison in Dali Temple is really not very good, and there are not many people who are locked up, probably because many people are not qualified to enter the prison if they want to enter the prison.

Dali Temple is also his own unit for Bao Qing, although he may not come to work in the future, but the jailer saw the official certificate handed over by Bao Qing, and immediately understood at a glance that the person in front of him was the new Dali Temple Master Bao.

"Master Bao, please!" The jailer's enthusiastic words made Bao Qing a little dazed, as if the jailer was inviting himself to live in prison.

"Has anyone come to visit me before?"

"Nope! Not a single one! Who would dare to come to this rebel? I'm afraid I won't be able to tell it when I come in! ”

When Cao Xi heard this, he couldn't help but understand a little in his heart, it turned out that Bao Qing had to pull himself here, because he was afraid that he would visit the prison alone, and he couldn't say it clearly, but now if the imperial history is impeached, it will finally be two people, so that they can testify.

"What, Cao Guogong is thinking that he was used by me Bao Qing?"

Cao Xi was taken aback when he heard this, how could this kid see through people's minds.

Cao Xi muttered with some dissatisfaction: "Have you talked to your father-in-law like this?" Cao Xi thought that Bao Qing kidnapped his two daughters, and he actually talked to himself in an old-fashioned manner.

"Lord Bao, the little county lord is here during the day, it's not night, she just left!" The jailer said.

"Okay, got it! You go first! This is a reward for you, so you are waiting for the prince! After Bao Qing finished speaking, he threw dozens of Jiaozi to the jailer.

The jailer was a little surprised at first, but then immediately took the money and thanked him. He didn't expect that when he came to see a rebellious death row inmate, there were still people who were willing to spend money.

Bao Qing's arrival immediately disturbed the eleventh prince who was just about to lie down.

The eleventh prince stared at Bao Qing for a long time, and spit out his words: "Lord Bao shouldn't come!" I really shouldn't have come! ”

"Why?"

"This king really didn't expect that someone would dare to visit this king at this moment. I guess it took a lot of effort for Mr. Bao to come, right? If this is known, I am afraid that Lord Bao will get into trouble. The eleventh prince said.

"I'm never afraid of trouble! Because enough trouble is enough! I'm not afraid that others will know, because at this moment, all civil and military officials and officials already know. ”

"Master Bao! You will promise to save the life of the king's daughter. But what you do, how to keep this king's daughter! "The eleventh prince is a little anxious.

Bao Qing looked at the eleventh prince and did not speak.

Seeing that Bao Qing didn't speak, the eleventh prince suddenly became anxious and said, "This king may not believe you, but seeing that you have a good relationship with Lord Fan Zhongyan, you should be a person who dares to act." Why did you come to visit the king? If you get into trouble for yourself like this, how can you keep the king's daughter. ”

"Your daughter, I will definitely be able to save it. I came this time and wanted to make a deal with the prince. Maybe the prince doesn't have to die. Bao Qing said.

As soon as Bao Qing's words came out, Cao Xi's jaw was almost shocked.

"Cao Guogong, you help us take care of the wind, I want to talk to the prince alone."

After Cao Xi left, Bao Qing walked closer to the eleventh prince.

"What? Don't you believe it? ”

The eleventh prince nodded.

"You know, if I don't come to see you! No one will look at you, and if that were the case, you would be dead. ”

"What do you mean?"

Everyone will be afraid of death, and in order to save his daughter, the eleventh prince had no choice but to put down his weapons and choose to surrender. If someone tells him that there is a way to keep him alive, even if you are a prince, you have to bow your head.

"Let me tell you the truth! The official family wants you to live! I don't want to kill you! But you also know that rebellion is death! ”

"The official family wants this king to live? Why? ”

"DID YOU KNOW? It didn't take much trouble for me to enter the prison of this Dali Temple, and the official family even informed all the clan relatives that they could visit you freely. It's just that no one dares to come. ”

"This!"

"You just have to do what I say, and you have a very good chance of getting out of the cell alive."

"What do you want from this king?" The eleventh prince began to look at Bao Qinglai again.

Bao Qing smiled and said, "A promise!" Anytime I ask you to do something, as long as you can do it, you must help me do it! ”

"Isn't that just empty promises? Aren't you afraid that this king will repent? The eleventh prince asked.

When Bao Qing heard this, he said: "If the prince repents, I can't help it!" ”

"Good! You say, this king will never break his word! ”

Bao Qing paused and said, "I estimate that the official family will definitely summon the prince in the near future!" As long as the official family summons the prince, the prince can basically survive. If the official summons the prince, it will depend on how the prince performs. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The prince just remember such a one, play the emotional card! He can show a decisive appearance and strive to die quickly. To say that he was deceived by the Nine Princes and deceived by his brother. I want to cry that the emperor's family is ruthless, and there are few people to trust. The most important thing is to blame the queen mother, it is because she suppresses the royal family too much, so she will be dissatisfied with the official family. But Lord Wang, you didn't think about rebelling again. ”

The eleventh prince was taken aback and asked, "Didn't you let this king say that the queen mother did?" Isn't that looking for death? ”

Bao Qing waved his hand and said, "You just grab the queen mother's suppression of the princes and try your best to criticize!" Don't be soft-hearted. While speaking, he begged the official family to kill the prince. ”

"And then?"

"Then, you said that the thirteen princes who died, and that he was actually forced to die by the queen mother." Bao Qing said.

"Didn't the thirteenth brother be killed by Brother Yi? and the official family forced the thirteenth brother to leave Bazhou! The whole court knows it! The eleventh prince asked.

Bao Qing was a little displeased and said, "Then the prince said this, he just wanted to die." The prince only needs to hold the queen mother and treat the royal family harshly. Also, don't say anything else. ”

"Will this work?"

"Absolutely! It is not the official family who forced the thirteen princes to death, but the person who made the idea for the official family! The queen mother treated you princes like that back then, and some people also had ideas. Lord, do you think the official family will not think of this? There is also one of the reasons for the success of the rebellion of the Nine Princes is also the connivance of someone, if the prince can connect these things together, presumably the official family will not kill you, and keep you to verify. ”

In fact, Bao Qing knew that Renzong was reluctant to kill any more killers, and he had forced the thirteen princes to die in Bazhou, which had already had a bad impact on the imperial court. More importantly, from the point of view of a traverser, Renzong's temple name is Ren, which is destined to be the emperor's congenital surname in terms of killing people with knives.

From the act of allowing a prison visit, Bao Qing saw Renzong's benevolence. From Renzong's sentence, there are not many people who can be trusted, and it can be seen that Renzong's heart is hesitant.

"Lord Bao, this is to lead the disaster to that Lu Yijian! No wonder, I'm afraid this is the condition for Lord Bao to really save this king. ”

Bao Qing glared at the eleventh prince and shouted: "The most important thing is that I don't want the little county lord to lose his father after he has lost his mother since he was a child!" Leave! (To be continued.) )
