In a claustrophobic cell, Zhu Qiqi, the son of the Tang Dynasty, and his son Zhu Yujian sat opposite each other at a half-old table, gnawing on their nests and chatting about each other's reading experiences.

Zhu Yujian said: "Father, I have read the book "Natural Science" given to us by Zhang Shutang, and the photosynthesis mentioned in it should make sense, I verified it with two pots of the same green plant, and the pot that was placed in a dark place without light did not grow well in the pot facing the light outside the window.

"There is indeed a lot of knowledge in this book that we don't even know, and my father is also thinking about using magnets, copper coils, and soft iron rods and iron pieces to see if he can really make the feeling of 'electricity' mentioned in this book come out."

Zhu Qiqi nodded and said as well.

Since Zhang Guantang, who had been secretly providing them with food and books a few years ago, gave them a book entitled "Natural Science", the two of them have become extremely interested in this book.

For them, who have only read the Four Books and the Five Classics, it is as if a new world has been opened.

Therefore, Zhu Yujian and his father Zhu Qiqi will talk about this aspect every time they eat.

However, Zhu Yujian couldn't help but glance at the world outside the window and asked, "Father, do we really have no chance to go out?" ”

Zhu Qiqi smiled bitterly: "I guess there won't be." ”

After hearing this, Zhu Yujian also showed a look of grief and indignation on his face, and said: "What my father said is that even if we are not starved to death by our grandfather, when the second uncle takes the throne, he will not let us live." ”

"Yes! Who makes the Father the Son of the world? ”

Zhu Qiqi sighed and replied.

Zhu Yujian said again: "I heard that they hosted a banquet for Uncle Zhang Guo and Governor Xia Yunyi today, so they must be listening to songs, watching dances, and enjoying delicious food." ”

"It's just the entertainment of the sound."

Zhu Qiqi replied.

Zhu Yujian nodded: "Hmm!" ”

It turned out that because Zhu Shuoxi, the king of the Tang Dynasty, favored Zhu Qixuan, the son of his concubine, and wanted to make him the son of the world, he found a reason to imprison Zhu Qiqi and Zhu Yujian's father and son, intending to starve him to death.

It's just that Zhang Guantang, a petty official in the palace, couldn't bear it, and often secretly helped Zhu Qiqi and Zhu Yujian, so Zhu Qiqi and Zhu Yujian have always been alive.

"His Royal Highness!"

And just when Zhu Qiqi and Zhu Yujian's father and son were chatting, Zhang Guantang, who had been secretly helping Zhu Qiqi and Zhu Yujian's father and son, suddenly came to Zhu Qiqi when most of the people in the palace were attending the banquet in the front yard and no one was watching, and said with a panicked expression:

"Your Highness! The ministers heard a bad news, when the second prince planned to hold a banquet for Uncle Zhang and Xia Zhongcheng under His Royal Highness King Tang, they directly killed Uncle Zhang Guo and Xia Zhongcheng, and they put a Yanling knife under the table in advance for this reason! ”

"Are they still planning to blame this on their father, and report to the court that their father did it?"

Zhu Yujian's head turned quickly, and he hurriedly asked.

Zhang Guantang nodded: "That's how they planned. ”

After hearing this, Zhu Qiqi collapsed directly to the ground: "Killing Qin Cha is still the most favored uncle in the dynasty!" And the governor of this province! How can Lone bear this sin! How can they do that. ”

"It's despicable! In order to achieve their own goals, they will do anything to do it! If I can still get out alive, I would rather let His Majesty withdraw my Tang Dynasty than let their conspiracy succeed! ”

Zhu Yujian couldn't help gritting his teeth at this time and said.

"Quick!"

"Quick!"

……

At this moment, there was a rush of shouting outside, as well as the sound of footsteps.

Zhang Guantang glanced out first and said, "It's from Xichang!" ”

Zhu Yujian was secretly happy after hearing this, and hurriedly asked: "Could it be that their conspiracy failed to succeed, and my father doesn't have to suffer this wrong?!" ”

"But looking at this posture, it should be that the second prince has indeed done something rebellious, and our Tang Wangfu will undoubtedly still be destroyed, and it is difficult to say whether it will implicate His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Zhang Guantang said.

"Yes! What to do! ”

Zhu Qiqi sighed.

Zhu Yujian bowed his hand to Zhang Guantang and said, "Please also ask Mr. Zhang to put it down!" I'm going to meet this Uncle Zhang next! ”

Seeing this, Zhu Qiqi hurriedly called: "My son, what are you going to do? “

Zhu Yujian turned to look at Zhu Qiqi and said: "Father, the second uncle is disloyal and has done such a disobedient thing, no matter whether my Tang Wangfu will be destroyed because of this, we all have to stand up, go directly to Uncle Zhang Guo, and take the initiative to confess this matter!" ”

"As for how the court wants to punish us, we can only admit it."

"However, even if the court wants to kill us, we can't sit still, even if we want to die, we can't die in vain!"

Zhu Yujian said to Zhang Guantang: "Please also ask Mr. Zhang to put it down!" ”

"Wait!"

Zhu Qiqi called out, and then said: "Father ordered us to be imprisoned here, we are all guilty people, we go out rashly now, obviously disobeying the king's order, and will be punished by my father!" ”

"What's more, let's not embarrass Mr. Zhang, he has to give us food, it is already a last resort, and let him disobey the king's order to let us out, wouldn't it be embarrassing Mr. Zhang? Anyway, don't go out and let things go. ”

"Your Royal Highness, this is nothing, and now at this time, the king will definitely not embarrass His Highness anymore."

As he spoke, Zhang Guantang opened the door and said to Zhu Yujian: "Wang Changsun, please!" ”

"Thank you!"

Zhu Yujian said and walked out quickly.

……

And here, Zhang Gui is walking over with people.

Oh, Zhang Gui saw a young man wearing prison clothes walking towards him.

"Who are you?"

Huang Degong, who was at the forefront, had already asked first.

The young man replied: "Under Zhu Yujian, the grandson of the Tang Prince's Mansion, he wants to see the Marquis of Suizhou, and he directly states that we don't know!" ”

"Why is the eldest grandson of the Tang Wangfu wearing prison clothes, and what crime has he committed?"

Xia Yunyi couldn't help but ask at this time, and looked at Zhu Shuoxi, the king of Tang, who had been detained by the Xichang official school, and asked, "His Royal Highness the King of Tang, is he really the eldest grandson?" ”

Zhu Shuoxi said with a crying voice: "Don't dare to hide it, this person is indeed the eldest grandson of a sinner, and he was ordered and imprisoned by a sinner for disobedience." ”

"What do you want to say you don't know?"

Zhang Gui asked about Zhu Yujian at this time, and glanced at Zhang Guantang, who had already followed.

As early as a few years ago, because he knew that Zhu Yujian and his father were being imprisoned by his favored grandfather during this period of history, he sent someone to buy Zhang Guantang, who sympathized with these two people, and secretly let Zhang Guantang show the book "Natural Science" he had written, hoping to have an impact on these two people when the children of the two clans were in adversity, and prepare for the current clan reform.

For Zhang Gui, if he wants to change the fate of Daming, sometimes he has to play idle chess.

And exerting influence on Zhu Yujian and his father is one of the idle chess games he plays.

Because among the children of the clan, there are very few children of the clan who have the value of reshaping like Zhu Yujian and his father.

All this is also due to the faintness of Tang King Zhu Shuoxi himself.

Zhu Yujian replied at this time: "It's that the Marquis of Suizhou and Xia Zhongcheng will come to the palace, and we don't know about it, because Zaixia's father has been in the prison cell and doesn't know what is going on outside!" ”

Zhang Gui nodded, and then looked at Zhu Shuoxi: "The prince was also imprisoned, why didn't he report it to the court?" ”

Zhu Shuoxi's heart beat like thunder and said, "I haven't had time to report it yet." ”

Zhang Gui looked at Zhu Qiqi as he spoke: "Didn't you say that Shizi was the mastermind who murdered Qincha, he was a person who was imprisoned, how could he be the mastermind?" ”
