The Heavenly Prison in Yehuang City is different from the Criminal Department Prison, it is under the direct jurisdiction of the Southern Guard, and the people imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison are all arrested by the emperor's order, so without the emperor's order, even the Three Law Divisions have no right to release any prisoners in the prison.

The people imprisoned in the heavenly prison have many crimes, but one thing is without exception, that is, disobeying the holy will, some people were ordered to be detained by the emperor in person, and some were arrested and imprisoned after the Southern Guards collected evidence and sent them to the emperor for conviction.

There is no clear regulation on the detention time of each person who is imprisoned, but because Yang Heng can only be released after Yang Heng's decree, some people may come in today, and Yang Heng's mood will improve tomorrow and he will be released.

And some people have been imprisoned for more than 30 years, and they still haven't seen Yang Heng's edict, maybe they have been forgotten.

For example, the white-haired, old-fashioned former Jingzhao Mansion pastor opposite Duan Qianqiu's cell was destined to sit through the prison.

Just because he has always insisted that Yang Heng review the rebellion case of Yang Yong, the deposed prince of the previous dynasty, he was angry by Yang Heng and has been imprisoned since the first year of Tianbao, a full thirty-five years.

The prison has been built for more than 100 years, the building materials are the coarsest and hardest bluestone, due to the low terrain, the environment is humid, there is a musty smell everywhere, snakes, insects, rats and ants are rampant in the dark corner of the wall, cockroaches, mosquitoes and flies are flying everywhere.

In such an environment, Duan Qianqiu is still at peace, because no matter how bad the environment is, he has stayed for months, in his opinion, this place is still good in other aspects except for the restriction of freedom, at least it is relatively quiet!

During the three days he was imprisoned, Lu Bangyan and Zheng Bingrong came to see him once, told him something about what was happening outside, and when he learned that the people in Meizhuang had nowhere to live, he asked Lu Bangyan and Zheng Bingrong to help settle the people in Meizhuang.

Duan Qianqiu's food and clothing here are provided by special personnel, the specifications are quite high, and he does not wear iron shackles and chains and other prison equipment, the treatment is relatively generous, when he is extremely bored, he meditates and exercises.

When he completely entered a state of nothingness, the Golden Stone Divine Skill and the Ten Thousand Streams Gui Sect True Qi once fused into one, forming a more refined internal force that roamed the acupoints of the whole body.

But just a little bit of peace and quiet, these two true qi again showed a state of "appearance and separation", before Duan Qianqiu could collect the merits, the Jinshi Shengong was once again "ferocious", raging in the big and small Zhoutian, Duan Qianqiu had no choice but to transport the true qi of the Ten Thousand Streams to the Sect again to press the true qi of the Jinshi Shengong back to the place of the Qihai Dantian.

He had been practicing this for almost a day, and when he opened his eyes in the early morning, it was already dusk, and the lunch food that the jailer had handed in from the doorway was still there.

Ever since Duan Qianqiu practiced Qi for the purpose of fusing the two True Qis, the hunger in his stomach had been slowly decreasing, and sometimes even after the Qi collection was over, he felt that his hunger was gone.

"Could it be that this kind of practice can already draw energy from the nature of heaven and earth?" Duan Qianqiu was thinking like this when the jailer brought dinner again.

Duan Qianqiu walked to the door of the cell and picked up the meal, but saw that the cell opposite and the cell opposite the side were emptied.

He stopped the jailer and asked, "Big brother, where are all the prisoners on the other side?"

The gray-bearded old jailer said lazily: "If you don't let it go, you will be dragged out and beheaded." With that, he picked up the food box and sang as he walked to the other cells to distribute the food: "Eat, eat, people eat people, ghosts eat ghosts, each one lives in peace, each is reincarnated on the road, each walks in his own way......

Duan Qianqiu was also a bold man, but in this gloomy cell, listening to the desolate singing voice of this jailer as if he had summoned a spirit, he couldn't help but be terrified.

At this time, the true qi in his body gave rise to a sense, "Someone is coming, and there is more than one..."

Footsteps sounded on the bluestone pavement of the corridor outside his cell, and the footsteps quickly approached his cell.

Then, the door of his cell was opened by a man.

The person who came was tall, with leopard eyes, swallow jaws and tiger whiskers, broad shoulders and round waist, but it was Li Cunxu, the general of the Southern Guard Army.

Behind him, a man in a black cloak also followed.

Duan Qianqiu saw Li Cunzhuo, so he stepped forward and said, "Duan Qianqiu has seen General Li. ”

Li Cunxu didn't answer him, but turned around and bowed to the person behind him and said: "Your Majesty, this is Duan Qianqiu's prison cell, the other cells around this place have been emptied, and the prisoners have also been transferred to other places, and what Your Majesty said will never be heard." ”

The man in the black cloak lifted his hat and revealed his face, with a strange appearance and purple hair, it was Yang Heng of the Jingshen Sect.

When Duan Qianqiu saw it, he knelt down and bowed: "Duan Qianqiu, the criminal minister, knocked to see the emperor." ”

"Flatten. ”

After Duan Qianqiu thanked him, he lowered his eyebrows and stood aside, looking very respectful.

Yang Heng glanced at him, and suddenly smiled: "You feel angry in your heart, right?"

"The sinners don't dare. ”

"It's not the same thing as not daring to be with you, I understand your suffering, so I don't mean to blame you. So I hope you understand my suffering. ”

"Your Majesty, you are rich all over the world, you have power all over the world, one word can determine the rise and fall of a country, one word can determine the life and death of a person, and there are also sufferings?"

"Being an emperor is the hardest errand in the world, do you know?" Yang Heng sighed suddenly.

"The criminal has never been an emperor in his life, so naturally he doesn't know it. Duan Qianqiu replied honestly.

Li Cunxu heard him answer like this, and smiled secretly in his heart: "You are refreshing." ”

Yang Heng muttered as if talking to himself: "Do it knowing that it can't be done, and don't dare to do it knowing that it can be done, the world only knows the power of the emperor, and how many people are willing to understand the difficulty of the emperor." ”

"What's the difficulty of Your Majesty?"

"Duan Qianqiu, you've been here for three days, do you know the results of the court discussion?"

"The sinner doesn't know. ”

Yang Heng said: "More than half of the courtiers are against the opening of the sea ban, and your theory of the five evils of the sea ban has also been refuted to the fullest. ”

"What's the reason for everyone's objection?"

"The most important thing is to worry about the heresy of foreign cities, flowing into Middle-earth, and messing up the royal orthodoxy of the Great Jing Dynasty. Li Cun continued.

"Does Your Majesty think so?" Duan Qianqiu said.

Yang Heng said: "How can I be the king of the way that can be shaken by the teachings and beliefs of foreign countries, the hearts of the people are turned back, I know very well that this time I am more concerned about the stability of the situation in northern Xinjiang." Seeing that I detained you, I thought that I was also against the abolition of the sea ban, so I also continued to maintain the sea ban in the court, but it was Zheng Yang Wang and Zhang Luoxing who had a lot of insight and shouted out the harm of the sea ban, bringing a fresh wind to the court. ”

"The criminal minister understands His Majesty's intentions, since His Majesty has made up his mind to borrow food from Cui Chengxiu..."

"I have come to see you today for this one. Who is Cui Chengxiu? Why can't the Southern Guards find such a person after turning everything over in Dengzhou Mansion?" Yang Heng said.

Duan Qianqiu frowned and said, "The Southern Guards are already looking for him?"

Li Cun continued: "Yes, through various relationships between the rivers and lakes and the business community, I am looking for him, but I have found nothing a few days ago. ”

"Alas!" Duan Qianqiu sighed lightly and said, "The imperial court is looking for him with such open fire, he must be hiding, because years of dealing with the imperial court have made him more sensitive than a fox." ”

"I really don't believe that there are people in this world who the Southern Guards can't find. Your Majesty, please give Weichen some more time, I will bring this person back to the palace. Li Cunxu asked Yang Heng.

Yang Heng looked at the general of the Southern Guards, and said with a smile: "Survival, I believe in your ability, this time the Southern Guards can't find Cui Chengxiu, I don't blame you." After all, we are asking for help now, so it is better to be polite. ”

Seeing Yang Heng like this, Duan Qianqiu knew that he had already made up his mind to cooperate with Cui Chengxiu for the sake of Cao Yun's affairs, so he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, although the criminal minister and Cui Chengxiu have only one side. But he also knew that he needed the most in the court now. ”

"What's that?"
