Emperor Yuande also realized that he had lost his sense of proportion just now, and sat on the dragon chair for a while before finally giving his will.

Roughly speaking, it was still to ask the people related to the yamen and public security in the capital to go to find the old beggar, and asked to treat each other as politely as possible after discovering the other party.

After that, Emperor Yuande felt physically and mentally exhausted, and had no interest in staying in the palace any longer, and said to the old eunuch beside him with a somewhat depressed expression, "Retreat from the court", and took the lead in standing up.

"Retreat from the Dynasty ~~~~"

After the old eunuch announced the decree loudly, he hurriedly followed the emperor, and in the state of the old emperor, he was really afraid that he would fall.

The courtiers below all talked about it after the emperor left, and those mages also looked at each other, and the position of "Heavenly Master" that should have been canonized today was not implemented, and I don't know what will happen later.

Anyway, no one touched this brow to raise opinions, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites and those who counted on the position of "Heavenly Master" did not dare to mention it.

A few of the mages who have some real skills don't care, or they are also surprised by the old beggar's resurrection, after all, this old beggar has nothing to do with mortals before, and they almost all think that this is a liar, so it seems that he is definitely an unfathomable master.

"Lord Lu, do you say that the old beggar is really a fairy?"

"It's not clear. "Hmph, the gossip confuses the public. ”

"Lord Xiao, what do you think of this situation?"

"See what?"

"Why didn't the emperor let go of Lord Yanchang?"

"Hey......"

Some of the courtiers shook their heads or sighed and left the main hall one after another.

And the four guards in front of the temple still knelt in the temple as if they had been forgotten by everyone.

King Jin walked a few steps slowly, looked at the four of them, and saw that the people in the hall were scattering, and his eldest brother had already left, so he hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke to the four.

"Go down all of you, your father won't blame you. ”

"Thank you, His Royal Highness King Jin!" "Thank you, His Royal Highness King Jin!"

Several guards in front of the palace got up and saluted gratefully to Yang Hao, the king of Jin, and only then did they really breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts, and they felt that they should not have to worry about their lives.

This companion is like a tiger, and today they feel it deeply.

。。。

In the prison of the Criminal Department, Yan Chang did not suffer much abuse, and was held in a relatively clean cell with a brick bed with some straw poles, a mat and a low table.

Yan Chang has been removed from the government at this moment and changed into prison clothes, sitting on the bed with his back against the wall, and he also has a declining expression.

"Hey...... The merits are in the hearts of the people, but the emperor has no mercy...... Hehe, maybe I'm already a courtier in the hearts of many people......"

Counting the time, the old beggar should have been decapitated.

Let's complain, Yan Chang does have some complaints about the old beggar, but I really want to hate it, think about it, it seems that it is the old beggar recommended by myself, and then it brings the disaster of killing to the other party......

"Hey......"

After being locked up in prison all morning, Yan Chang didn't know how many times he sighed.

The candle on the low table on the bed had only melted a little, and it was not yet dark, but the prison was dark and gloomy, and I did not know what the night would be like.

Looking up at the layout of the cell again, except for the ironwood railing in the front, there are not even a single window in the back, left and right, and it is impossible to see the stars at night.

Two saber jailers patrolled through the depths of the prison and passed through the cell where Yan Chang was.

The jailer still has a deep impression of Yan Chang, after all, he was personally escorted to the prison by the guards in front of the palace, so there is only one possibility, he was directly convicted by the emperor when he was in the last dynasty, and in recent years, this is often a certain official.

Seeing that Yan Chang was still in a daze, the jailer also stopped and asked.

"This lord, but he used to serve in Menxia Province?"

Yan often looked at the two of them, as the saying goes, the prime minister would rather provoke than recruit jailers, and now he needs to look at the faces of the prison guards, so he reluctantly lifted his spirit and replied with a wry smile.

"I'm not an official of Menxia Province, I'm the supervisor of the Heavenly Prison of the Taishi Division. ”

"Si Tianjian? Oh, it's Lord Qin Tianjian who sets the calendar?"

One of the jailers thought for a moment and said suddenly.

Yan Chang was not in the mood to agree, just nodded.

The other jailer was also curious.

"This is new, we have imprisoned many former officials in the prison of the Criminal Department, but it is really the first time that the people of Si Tianjian have come in, especially the Lord Qin Tianjian!"

"Well, when you say that, it seems to be true!"

The two jailers felt very fresh, and normally speaking, Qin Tianjian basically did not know the troubled waters of the court, and there was a little gossip in his heart.

"Then Lord Qin Tianjian, what did you commit, and what crime was convicted by the emperor?"

Anyway, being idle is idle, and I don't know if I can live, how long I can live, and after a morning of decadence, I will talk to people, and my heart will get up, and I will sit up a little straighter.

"Do you know about the water and land pujas held in the capital?"

"Then how can you not know, the whole capital is in an uproar. ”

Yan often showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

"The water and land festival is mainly responsible for our heavenly supervisor and some officials of the Ministry of Rites, and it is necessary to supervise and screen out some mages for the emperor, and get the position of heavenly master, and my misfortune has come from here......"

He often recounted the circumstances of why he was convicted, and there was nothing that could not be said, and there were actually records in the book of the prison, but it was relatively brief.

After listening to the words, the two jailers also looked at each other.

"This old beggar is too bold, and he feels that he said such things to the emperor in front of him, and he begged for death......"

"Someone is coming. ”

Before one of the jailers could finish speaking, the other looked out, and the two arched their hands towards Yan Chang, and walked out quickly.

About half a cup of tea, an unknown jailer led an old eunuch to Yanchang's cell.

As soon as Yan Chang looked at people, he immediately perked up, but he didn't know what to say.

The jailer unfastened the key ring from his waist, picked out a lock to open the cell, and then pushed open the door and stretched out his hand.

"Father-in-law, please!"

When the old eunuch entered the cell, the jailer re-locked the door.

Yan Chang came back to his senses at this time, and found that the old eunuch was still carrying something like a food box in his hand, and hurriedly got down from the bed and bowed.

"Grandpa Li, why are you here?"

The old eunuch put the food box on the bed, and respectfully returned the salute.

"Lord Yan hasn't had lunch yet, this is a meal given by the emperor, all of them are from the craftsmanship of the chef in the imperial dining room, my lord, try it while it's hot." ”

As he spoke, the old eunuch opened the food box and took out the dishes in it in a wafting smell of food.

Yan Chang looked at these dishes in a daze, the dishes were exquisite, there were fish and meat, watching a plate of dishes being brought out, Yan Chang's face became more and more ugly, more and more pale, and when the old eunuch took out the wine, Yan Chang was already colorless.

"Your Majesty is going to kill me......

Although Yan Chang rarely interacts with people in the Criminal Department, he has also heard a rumor that officials who have angered him but have not yet been convicted suddenly eat extremely sumptuous dishes such as big fish and meat, most of which are beheaded.

"Lord Yan, Lord Yan, your face is not very good, do you want to pass on the imperial doctor?"

Grandpa Li...... Your Majesty, is this going to kill me?"

When the old eunuch looked at this dish, he suddenly shook his head with a smile.

"Lord Yan misunderstood, this is the emperor is afraid that the adults will eat poorly in the prison, and the lunch specially given by the emperor, and there is no other meaning, after retiring from the court, the officials of the Heavenly Prison and the adults of the Ministry of Rites have jointly come to the imperial study to intercede for Lord Yan......"

It's a bit unreal to hear this often.

'Are they so good? No, how dare they do that?'

When the old eunuch said this, he also sighed before continuing to speak.

"Actually, something happened after Lord Yan was pressed into the prison......

。。。

In the tea house Qingye Building in Gyeonggi City, in the private room on the second floor, Ji Yuan and the old beggar sat Ji Yuan, and the little beggar who came after him, and there was a pot of hot tea on the indoor table, and a total of six plates of pastries and preserved fruits.

"Oh, so Mr. Lu won't accept this apprentice?"

Ji Yuan has only just listened to some of the things in the Nine Heavens and Ten Meetings, as well as the cause and effect in the court this morning.

"I'm dead once, whoever takes it is a fool!"

The old beggar stuffed two pieces of pastry into his mouth, and said a word with a chirp, while the little beggar poured water for the old beggar after taking a piece of snack himself.

"Grandpa Lu, what's wrong with Lord Yan?"

"Don't worry, as long as you don't make stupid mistakes, he'll be fine, now you should worry about you, Grandpa Lu and me. ”

The little beggar, who had stuffed pastries in his mouth, was shocked when he heard this, and nervously ran to the old beggar to touch it.

"Ah, Grandpa Lu, are you hurt?

"No, no...... I don't mean that, I mean Mr. Ji Da in front of us......"

The old beggar smiled, and looked at Ji Yuan, who had been drinking tea and listening as usual.

"Old beggar, I tested Emperor Dazhen this time, and I can't say that I have committed Mr. Ji's taboo, this is much more dangerous than in front of the sword and axe hand in the palace......!

"Huh?"

The little beggar looked at Ji Yuan, who was always gentle, and then looked at the old beggar, but saw that Grandpa Lu's face was rarely more serious.

"Mr. Lu's move will inevitably cause some turmoil in the Dazhen government and the opposition......"

Ji Yuan put down the teacup, dragged a trace of tea to the table, and then dipped his index finger in the water to write the word "Yuan".

"But Mr. Lu misunderstood, Dazhen has his own qi, and the evil people who do evil things are in charge, and what the old man does, one does not violate his heart and the other does not violate the Tao, and it is an opportunity for the emperor, Ji Mou is not easy to say, as long as you think it is worth it. ”

"Hey...... It's a bit of a bit less than worth ......."
