Chapter 74 The Prisoner
Although Mr. Guo is very timid, he still has the character of a literati after all, so he dared to ask.

"But this matter involves the emperor's private affairs after all, my humble minister..."

The young emperor squatted down, looked at Lord Guo with bright black eyes, and said with a smile: "Guo Aiqing should know best, for an emperor, nothing is private."

At this point, Mr. Guo should be clear no matter how cautious he is.

He kowtowed to the emperor and said loudly, "I understand."

Jingshi, Xinglong class.

For three consecutive days, Shen Yannian and Feng Ziyi sat in the Xinglong class because of a masterpiece that was born in the capital.

But I don't know which strange person did it. It really brought to life the powerless and poor people in this world.

Every line of lyrics, every look in the eyes seems to be the soul of the wronged people in the dark.

Once the play was over, she was raised in a deep boudoir, and the lady who had never known the sufferings of the world also wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, crying and asking the servants beside her.

"What's the name of this play?"

The servant bowed his head and said respectfully: "It seems to be called "The Injustice of Dou E""

……

Ying Tianfu prison.

Most of the prisoners held here are corrupt officials, ministers who have failed in party struggles, and some vicious gangsters.

It is quite new for a woman like Gu Heng to be able to enter the prison of Ying Tian Mansion.

Gu Heng has a special status, so the prison boss sent someone to bring her a table of good wine and food. Gu Heng doesn't like to drink, but he feels that eating alone is too lonely.

He invited several old prisoners next to him to have a meal together.

The people who can be imprisoned here are naturally rich or noble, and most of them are high-ranking officials who have made mistakes.

Most of the prisoners held here have lived in prison for more than ten years. There was a censor who was imprisoned by the first emperor just because he pleaded for one person in the court.

The other is the Minister of the Household Department of the previous dynasty. He just came in and had already retired and returned home, but he was found to have a huge deficit in his tenure. Now he is waiting to be beheaded this autumn.

The other one is an extremely young newly-promoted Jinshi. It is said that his family ran wild in the countryside, occupied a thousand acres of fertile land, and forced the whole family to death. Tianfu is now waiting for disposal.

In this world, if someone is promoted, someone will be unlucky.

Gu Heng couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The old Shangshu looked at Gu Heng, and said with a little emotion: "Speaking of which, the girl really has the demeanor of a demon concubine back then. Back then, she was also a concubine who disrupted the government, but in the end she was overthrown by Grand Master Chen and the Queen Mother." If you fall, you will end up in a fragrant and jade-like death."

This old Shangshu's expression was sincere, Gu Heng didn't know whether this person was praising or scolding himself.

Gu Heng said: "I'm not a demon concubine, I just want to uphold justice for the Du family. Think about it, it's always been the Qingtian master who gave justice to the common people. This Qingtian master is all men, and I am a woman. Anyway, I have a sister who is a noble concubine, if I don't use this status to do something good, wouldn't it be a great loss."

What Gu Heng said was extremely funny, and several people laughed out loud.

The censor hurriedly said: "I don't know, I thought that the girl is really heroic and courageous, but it is for the glory of my own family, but the girl's courage alone can already be recorded in the history books."

Gu Heng didn't think that she could be famous in history books, she just thought, since the matter has come to this point, let's go on with a black eye.

The depressed advance soldier sighed faintly.

"Miss, you are so considerate of your family, have you ever thought about what you will do in the future? If you behave like this, no man in the world is willing to marry you. Besides, do you think you can still get out of this prison?"

Gu Heng said with a smile: "Since I only want to uphold justice, I have given up the idea of ​​marrying a long time ago, and I am chasing Fu Guogong's mansion so hard, not just for the sake of Mrs. Du, I want to The people of the world know that in the Dayin Dynasty, there were kingly laws and heavenly principles."

In fact, Gu Heng said such righteous words to prepare for the official performance, no matter whether she believed what she said or not.

She has to convince the audience, just like what she said to Duan Wang on the outskirts of the city that night.

Confidence is more precious than gold, and now the people of Dayin don't believe that someone will make decisions for them, so there must be someone who does something earth-shattering.

Why can't that person be a woman?
An unexpected person who does unexpected things is even more impressive. Someone needs to become a symbol.

The three of them are not well-read poems and books. What is said in the book and what they actually do are generally different.

But before they could say anything.

In the deepest part of the cell, there was a creepy laughter.

The old Shangshu frowned and said: "That Kuangsheng is really in good health. He has lived here for more than ten years, and he is still sharp."

Gu Heng was rather curious as to who the mad student that Old Shangshu was talking about was.

She waved to the cell boss and asked, "Who is that laughing person?"

The head of the prison replied very respectfully: "Yang Youye, the mad student who wrote the ten thousand character book on the soul at the late emperor's birthday banquet."

The advanced scholar obviously didn't know that Yang Youye was here, so he said, "That means that Dayin is just Yang Youye, the ghost of the previous dynasty?"

When this crazy student wrote the 200-character book of the soul, the central idea was just one sentence, Dayin must perish in [-] years.

The emperor liked to hear such words, so naturally he threw him into the prison with a single operation. He wanted to behead his head directly to vent his anger, but many scholars in the court interceded for him.

After all, this person is the legitimate son of the founder of the Yang School, the number one school in the world.

So Yang Youye spent ten years in prison, from a handsome young man to a crazy uncle.

Gu Heng asked loudly: "What is Mr. Yang laughing at?"

I only heard Yang Youye say: "Do you want to reform? But what if you can change it? Countless capable people and strangers in the previous dynasty worked hard to sew and mend for the country, but in the end they still couldn't escape the fate of dying in 300 years. Since It will be destroyed sooner or later, so why bother?"

Gu Heng sighed suddenly, it seems that this person has fallen into the trap of nihilism.

I only heard Gu Heng say: "Mr. Yang is narrow-minded, everything is constantly changing, Dayin may not escape the fate of dying in 300 years, but who can be sure that there will be no one in the next dynasty?" The talent of the sky? Besides, the future generations are only getting better and better by inheriting the wisdom and experience of the predecessors. We are all standing on the shoulders of the predecessors. Human life is very short, but experience and thoughts can be passed down from generation to generation. Passed down from generation to generation, the final answer can always be found.”

Gu Heng thought that his impassioned speech would impress these old officials.

But after half a day, only Old Shangshu laughed and praised Gu Heng.
