At this moment, the dignified An Guojun Gongzi Xiu has been thrown into Tingwei prison by Ma Xin for nearly a month, without any interrogation, and no one came to see him.

Gongzi Xiu's face is now like ashes, he calmed down, and understood that something terrible must have happened in the court, someone wanted to frame him, His Majesty had already made it clear that he would pass on the throne to him, but how could His Majesty suddenly listen to the traitorous slander and put him in prison?

Until now, Gongzi Xiu can't figure out why even if he wants to break his head? What went wrong? Even the auxiliary minister, General Zuo, Yang Lin, has never come to visit him in prison, what about Prime Minister Huo? Why can't you see anyone? What is the reason for all this?

Just when Gongzi Xiu had been puzzled, there was a sound outside the prison, Gongzi Xiu listened attentively, smiled bitterly, and saw an elderly jailer in his sixties walking outside the prison, carefully carrying a food box and putting it in the prison, and putting out the food that looked good.

To have this kind of treatment in this kind of ghost place can be regarded as Tingwei Ma Xin's special care.

The cell is a private room, the conditions are relatively good, and it is relatively clean and tidy, Gongzi Xiu raised his eyes and glanced at the jailer, and wanted to talk to him for a while, so he smiled bitterly and shook his head, dispelling this useless work.

The above is really very good, this old jailer is a deaf and mute person at all, he can't find someone to talk to, just afraid that he will find someone to bring out some news to the outside world, it can be said that Gongzi Xiu is completely isolated here, and it is difficult to fly, only this deaf and dumb old jailer comes to deliver three meals a day every day, and he can't see anyone at all on weekdays.

Gongzi Xiu sighed, people are iron and rice are steel, no matter whether he can live tomorrow or not, he has to eat now, he took the meal and ate it slowly, after the meal, the old jailer began to pack up the dishes and chopsticks for him, put them in the food box and silently exited the prison, locked the prison door, and turned to leave.

The old jailer carried the food box and walked dozens of steps to an iron gate and handed out the waist card inside, and the prison guard confirmed that it was correct before opening the iron door from the outside and letting him through.

After drinking and eating, Gongzi Xiu began another day of daze and cranky thinking, he didn't know when he was the head, and he didn't know why the emperor suddenly ordered him to be locked in prison? It all happened so suddenly that he was caught off guard.

He remembered his former self, as the unofficial heir of the empire, and people from all walks of life inside and outside the government and the opposition came to make friends with him like a carp crossing the river, but now it was just the emperor's fluttering words, and he was in prison, and he didn't know where the road ahead was?

Is this the power you've been seeking? With Tianxian in his mouth, life and death are all in the emperor's thoughts, he smiled bitterly, he never thought that he had exhausted the organs, how could he end up in such a field now?

Just when Gongzi Xiu was thinking nonsense, a few more people came outside the prison, and after listening to Gongzi Xiu, he hurriedly sat down, he finally waited, and finally someone remembered that there was a down-and-out boy in this corner that no one noticed.

I saw that the people who came were three strong prison officials, all of them fierce and vicious, dragging shackles and chains in their hands, led by a subordinate official of the Tingwei Mansion, Gongzi Xiu's heart sank when he saw this.

Childe cultivated: "What crime did this monarch commit? To be shackled? According to the law of the Jin Dynasty, I am a child of the clan, and if I have the title of king, if I am not convicted, no one can lock up this king. ”

Hearing this, the subordinate officials of the Tingwei Mansion sneered and said, "An Guojun... Oh no! You are no longer An Guojun, there is a will on it, and I want to lock you and go to the front of the hall to listen to the order, and then you will naturally know what the reason is, do it. ”

Gongzi Xiu knew that it was pointless to argue with them, they were just little minions who were ordered to enforce the law, he sighed, and had to accept his fate and take him to the front of the hall to see the mastermind behind all this, and he would die as a ghost.

Gongzi Xiu was escorted through the many checkpoints in the prison by three prison guards, and he dragged a heavy anklet to the lobby of the Tingwei's Mansion with a wooden flail.

At this moment, in the hall of Tingwei, in the center are the officials of Cheng Gaozhong, Tingwei Ma Xin, Tingwei and other subordinate officials, as well as several temple people from the palace who came to announce the decree standing in front of the hall.

Seeing that Gongzi Xiu was brought, Gao Zhong first asked, "Gongzi Xiu, are you guilty?" ”

Gongzi Xiu was asked inexplicably, he knew his guilt, what kind of crime did he know?

Gongzi Xiu said in a deep voice: "Gao Gaocheng, I don't know what crime I committed, how can I confess my guilt?" ”

Gao Zhong didn't answer, and with a wave of his hand, a subordinate official of the Tingwei Mansion took the file and put it in front of Gongzi Xiu himself, Gongzi Xiu couldn't move in shackles, so he had to bend down and look at the crimes listed on the file, his heart was shocked, why didn't he expect that this Chen Guzi rotten sesame thing would be turned out again?

Gongzi Xiu wondered in his heart, hasn't it been more than three years since the affairs of the former prince? Why is it being ripped out again now? And there are too many crimes that he has never even heard of directly imposed on him, he feels that something is wrong, this crime must not be admitted, and he will not want to turn over after admitting it in this life.

Gongzi Xiu thought about it, and a series of actions in the palace before, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that there was something vaguely strange in it, no, this is not right.

Gongzi Xiu looked up at the presiding judge and said, "Lord Tingwei, Lord Gao, how is this possible?" This is a frame-up, there must be a villain behind my back to frame me, I want to see my father, Your Majesty will never be bewitched by the villain's slander. ”

When Tingwei Ma Xin heard this, his face showed a hint of sympathy, and he did not say a word.

Gao Zhong, who was sitting next to Ma Xin, said sharply: "Gongzi Xiu, you still don't admit your guilt?" Come on, bring someone with a witness. ”

Gongzi Xiu understood at a glance that right now Zhongcheng Gaozhong is here to hear his case on behalf of the imperial court, and Ma Xin, who is really in charge of the court, has become a foil.

Gao Zhong's voice did not fall, and dozens of doormen who had defected to Gongzixiu before were dragged in outside the hall, and the doormen also bowed their heads in shame when they saw the former master, it was they who wanted to survive, except for some things that really happened, most of the so-called crimes that identified Gongzixiu were forced to confess by torture, far-fetched, false, and fabricated out of thin air.

Seeing this, Gao Zhong snorted coldly, and the doormen in the Anguojun's mansion were so frightened that they had to step forward to identify Gongzixiu's crimes, but only the doorman Wei Man knelt on the ground and said nothing.

Gongzi Xiu saw that the group of people who had climbed to him were so ruthless, he laughed miserably, and scolded angrily: "Wait for the rats, I asked myself if I was waiting for you at the beginning, and today I saw that I was in trouble, and I actually fell into the well in front of me, do you still have a conscience?" ”

After being reprimanded by Gongzi Xiu, the guests lowered their heads in shame.

The doorman Wei Man sighed and said: "Childe, these people are just trying to survive, and they have to do it as a last resort, don't blame Childe." ”

Gongzi Xiu saw that Wei Man was tortured by heavy torture, and if he hadn't opened his mouth to speak, he wouldn't have recognized it for a while.

Gongzi Xiu dragged the shackles forward and said in a trembling voice: "Sir, how could they treat Mr. so ruthlessly. ”

Gongzi Xiu turned his head and shouted at Gao Chong: "Lord Gao, there must be some misunderstanding here, the piles and piles on this file are all framed by villains, I want to see General Zuo, I want to see Taiwei, I want to see Xiangguo, they are the auxiliary ministers personally designated by His Majesty, they will not sit idly by......"

Wei Man shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Childe, I'm afraid you won't see them again." ”

Gongzi Xiu was stunned on the spot when he heard this, and said to himself: "No, how is this possible?" How could they sit idly by? Why is that? ”

However, with a cup of tea, Yang Lin, the general of Yicheng Houzuo, and Yang Yan of Wuchenghou were also clothed, and their front and back feet were detained in court.

Gongzi Xiu saw that his uncle and father-in-law were wearing their heads, and there was no longer the majesty of the past, his heart was like falling into an ice cave, he understood everything, this was to uproot their An Guojun faction, and there would be no chance to turn over, this would be difficult to see anyone.

Gongzi Xiu came to Er Yang and said in a sad tone: "Uncle and father-in-law." ”

Yang Lin glanced at the high weight in the hall hatefully and said: "The pearl is covered with dust, the loyalty and goodness are in trouble, and now the traitor is high above the temple, God, why don't you open your eyes and see, this world is so turbid that there is no place for me......"

Yang Yan raised his head and scolded Gao Zhong: "Gao Zhong! You thief, Your Majesty was only deceived by traitors for a while, and when Your Majesty comes to his senses, a traitor like you will definitely not end well. ”

When Gao Zhong heard this, he sneered and said, "Then let's see, before that, I will send the two of you to go first." ”

Gongzi Xiu said in a deep voice: "Lord Gao, I can confess my guilt, but I have one condition before I confess, I want to see Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty Chrysostom gives me sin, I will die without regret." ”

When Gao Zhong heard this, he sneered in his heart, wanting to see the first emperor? Let's send you to meet underground!

Gao Zhong said: "Your Majesty knows that Long Yan was furious after you participated in the former prince's rebellion, and he doesn't want to see you, so you should wait for the rebels and thieves to listen to the will!" ”

Gao Zhong glanced at the temple people in the palace.

The temple people hurriedly stepped forward to announce the decree: "The prisoners Xiu, Yang Lin, and Yang Yan kneel down to listen to the decree. ”

When Gongzi Xiu heard this, his heart trembled, he understood that these people would definitely not give them any chance to turn the tables, if the emperor was still sober, or still alive, such a thing would never happen today.

The temple said: "The edict said: I first heard that Gongzi Xiu actually participated in the rebellion against the prince, it was really angry, after the Tingwei detailed investigation of the 31st year of the unification of the prince was forced to admonish the army, in fact, there is another hidden situation, at the beginning of the time did not think of Kuang Zheng to advise the prince, actually made a plot to kill the brother, such a move, deeply disappointed, after the Tingwei three discussion of the crime, cut off the son's name of the king, in addition to the identity of the clan and degraded to the common man and then the crime, it is appropriate to wait for the left general Yang Lin and An Guojun to conspire......"

When Gongzi Xiu heard this, his soul was no longer possessed, and he didn't listen to a word of what he read later, he knew that the holy decree would mean that the coffin was closed, everything was over, and they could no longer turn over......
