Li Mingyi stayed in the "Tian" cell in this way. After making up for a good night's sleep, Li Mingyi was called up by the prison officer to have lunch. The lunch in this "Tian" cell was very rich, with fish, meat, vegetables, and even wine.

Li Mingyi was obviously very satisfied with this food, so he said to the prison guard who delivered the meal: "The old man has a heart, this meal is okay." ”

The jailer nodded and said, "Childe is polite, if you still need anything, just say it." I will do it by all means in the next. The cell boss has been ordered, and the son is a distinguished guest. ”

"It's not for a while, it's already good." Li Mingyi said.

The guards retreated and left, leaving the door unlocked.

The jailer came to the old man across the door and respectfully handed the meal in. Two simple steamed buns, three side dishes.

After the prison guard who delivered the food put it away, he said respectfully, "My lord, your meal is here." ”

The old man nodded and said, "Stand down." The guard immediately and respectfully withdrew.

Li Mingyi was eating from the side, and he was looking at the opposite door. He found that although the jailer respected him and the old man, he was obviously a compliment to him, and he respected the old man from the bottom of his heart. I couldn't help but be curious about the identity of the old man.

Li Mingyi said to the old man familiarly: "Old man, I have a fish here, do you want it?" ”

The old man raised his head and looked at Li Mingyi. Through the light outside the cell, Li Mingyi saw the old man's face clearly. A bitter gourd face, with a majestic gaze like a torch, a straight nose, a slight droop at the corners of the mouth, and a very neatly groomed goatee mixed with a little white.

The old man raised his head, looked at Li Mingyi and said, "Which little guy are you?" How did you get here? ”

Li Mingyi couldn't answer this question, so he said: "My name is Li Mingyi, guess which family I am?" ”

The old man thought for a while and said, "The surname is Li, presumably it is the Li family in Bingzhou." Could it be the relatives of the princess of Xiliang? That can barely enter this 'day' house. ”

Seeing that the old man helped him find his identity, Li Mingyi hurriedly fooled him with a "hmm", and changed the topic: "What about you, old man, whose family are you?" ”

The old man smiled and said, "My name is Yu Yiqian, and I don't belong to a big family like you. Just offended the emperor and was locked up here. ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Mingyi instantly came to his senses, walked out of the prison door directly with the fish, came to the door of the old man's cell, and said, "The old man can, he can actually offend the emperor." Come on, let's talk about how you offended the emperor while eating fish. ”

Yu Yiqian must have been lonely in prison for a long time, so he didn't shirk it at the moment, and chatted with Li Mingyi while eating fish. It turned out that Yu Yiqian was involved in a case three years ago, so he was removed from the position of deputy cabinet assistant.

Three years ago, the queen was seriously ill, and after the imperial physician Wei Zhongping treated her for a month, the queen's illness showed no signs of improvement. In order to heal the empress, His Majesty the Emperor began to ask God for divination and medicine everywhere.

At this time, the Fire God Sect King was not easy to offer a red pill that could cure all diseases. After the queen took the red pill, her condition improved for three days, and the emperor was very happy, and it was not easy to reward the king immediately. However, three days later, the queen's illness took a turn for the worse, the medicine stone was ineffective, and finally died.

All of a sudden, the court was divided into two factions, and some people attacked the Red Pill offered by the Vulcan Sect for poisoning the queen to death. Some people say that it was the imperial physician Wei Zhongping who made the queen fall ill because of the wrong medication. Yu Yiqian, as a clear stream of culture and education, naturally looked down on the Vulcan Sect, so he also wrote a letter to impeach the Vulcan Sect, misleading the country and harming people.

Just as the two factions were arguing, a piece of news broke. The imperial physician Wei Zhongping committed suicide at home. At this moment, the support for the Vulcan Sect naturally prevailed, and the emperor also favored the Vulcan Sect. As a result, the emperor decreed that Zhang Zhongping's family would be exiled, and the woman would be used as an official prostitute.

At this time, the ministers were silent, and only Yu Yiqian continued to write. Yu Yiqian said in the letter: The cause of Wei Zhongping's death is unknown, how can His Majesty make a decision easily. Please retract your Majesty's order and let the six doors strictly investigate the cause of Wei Zhongping's death.

However, His Majesty the Emperor was already furious at this time, and he didn't want to listen to Yu Yiqian's words at all, but directly locked Yiqian in the prison.

After hearing this, Li Mingyi sighed a little and said: "This matter is indeed more suspicious, Wei Zhongping may not have committed suicide." However, the queen's death may not have been because of the red pill. Now no one can tell, but pity Wei Zhongping. ”

After Yu Yiqian said this, he took a sip of Li Mingyi's wine jug, and continued with some sadness: "I don't really care how the queen died. I am angry that our majesty believes in ghosts and gods, and does not believe in us and other courtiers. even asked Wang Buyi to teach the prince to read. Heavens, heavens, how can the future of the Ming Dynasty be placed in the hands of this group of gods and ghosts. ”

Speaking of the back, Yu Yiqian is already in tears. Li Mingyi looked at him, and he felt very uncomfortable. After this conversation, Li Mingyi knew that the person in front of him should be a first-class person in terms of knowledge, courage, and morality, but unfortunately the day was not right.

Li Mingyi comforted him and said, "Mr. Yu, why are you doing this? Your Majesty may not be good for you. It's better to take care of your body, and have the opportunity to benefit the people of Daming again in the future. ”

Yu Yiqian wiped away his tears and said, "Let Xiaoyou smile." ”

Li Mingyi hurriedly said: "Mr. Yu's righteous words make Zai admire him very much, how can he laugh at Mr. ”

Yu Yiqian shook his head and said, "What's the use of speaking up, in the end, it's not to pass the time in this prison. ”

Li Mingyi asked, "Did Your Majesty say what to do with Mr.?" ”

Yu Yiqian replied with some disappointment: "It would be better if I said what to do with it." Even if I die, I'm not afraid. It's just that His Majesty just threw me here and ignored me. ”

Hearing this, Li Mingyi also felt sorry for him and comforted: "Maybe Your Majesty just didn't think about what to do with Mr. ”

Yu Yiqian didn't talk anymore, but just walked to the depths of his cell and fell asleep. Seeing this, Li Mingyi could only return to his cell.

For two days in a row, Li Mingyi was in the cell, eating and drinking. When I have nothing to do, I practice boxing and foot kung fu, and occasionally chat with Yu Yiqian, and my life is quite comfortable.

Compared with Li Mingyi's comfort, the atmosphere in Fan Yan's mansion was very tense at this time. Fan Yan was sitting in the hall of Fan's mansion, and there were more than a dozen officials from Fan Yan's faction sitting on both sides, and Fan Yan's two aides, Xie Yuanming and Mr. Li, were reporting.

After listening to their report, Fan Yan slapped the table and said angrily: "This Vulcan Sect has actually quietly annexed the land of so many families. If it weren't for the big action against Xie Jiadi this time, we would still be kept in the dark. ”

The officials below nodded their heads and scolded the Vulcan Cult angrily. One of the officials said, "We should send a letter as soon as possible and let Your Majesty deal with the Vulcan Sect." ”

Fan Yan sighed and said, "I don't know how much I have written in the past two years to impeach the Vulcan Sect, but when His Majesty approves it, I still have to think of another way." ”

After hearing this, the officials could only continue to scold the Vulcan Sect angrily, and there was nothing they could do.
