Daxia Wensheng

Insein 12 years.

December 25.

early morning.

Since seeing him off yesterday, Gu Jinnian hasn't slept since he came back.

He passed out and was a little weak.

To be precise, it is mental weakness. I have experienced too much during this period, and I have a mental breakdown.

The main reason is that the ancient tree absorbed the grievances of all living beings.

Yin Shi.

Genius just lit up.

A night of thoughts made Gu Jinnian calm down a lot.

bang bang.

Accompanied by bursts of knocking on the door.

Gu Jinnian knew someone was coming.

"Enter."

soon.

The door opened, revealing Su Huaiyu's figure.

He walked into the room, closed the door slowly, then walked into the room, and sat down directly.

"His Royal Highness."

"Kyoto has a purpose."

"Hundreds of officials are impeaching you. This time, you have gone too far and violated too many rules. Before the national law, His Majesty may not be able to protect you."

Su Huaiyu was very indifferent, he told Gu Jinnian the will of the capital.

However, upon hearing this, Gu Jinnian didn't have the slightest bit of resentment.

Instead, he felt that His Majesty was not wrong.

The state has national laws, and the family has family rules. Although I am doing things for the people, I have indeed violated too many rules.

To put it bluntly, if someone else did such a thing, no matter for any purpose, he would have to be killed on the spot.

His Majesty's choice is not wrong, nor is the impeachment of the officials.

It's just that there are some people with ulterior motives in it.

"understood."

Gu Jinnian nodded.

He is very calm, mainly because he is clear that his grandfather will definitely protect him, and what he has done, he will not be guilty of death.

Gu Jinnian understood better than anyone else.

He has always controlled the bottom line. Although he violated the rules, he was just right.

If he really wanted to do anything wrong, he would have massacred King Qi Lin's [-] troops yesterday.

It's just that there are three reasons for not choosing to do so.

First, one hundred thousand soldiers will not be punished for their crimes.

To say some bad words, King Qi Lin has other evil intentions, but it has nothing to do with the [-] troops. They also have their own families, their own parents, and their own children.

If one hundred thousand soldiers were killed in a moment of anger, it would indeed be possible to gain a world-renowned reputation, but the consequences would be unimaginable.

It is acceptable to die on the battlefield, just because beheading 10 people in a fit of anger is not a gentleman, nor is it benevolent.

Second, the Great Xia Dynasty was about to go to war with the Xiongnu, and the imperial court would send troops to suppress it. If the twelve cities were not seized, it would be safe to say that the imperial court had enough troops.

But if it was to capture the Twelve Cities, or if there was a shocking change in the war, King Qilin's 30 army would have to take action no matter what, and he could wait to die if he didn't take action.

So at this juncture, killing 10 people will inevitably be asking for trouble.

The third, and most important point, is that killing soldiers will damage one's luck. In the battle of destiny, one bears one's destiny. Although one doesn't understand the role of this destiny, one still knows it in one's heart.

Can't do this kind of thing.

The above three points are Gu Jinnian's rationality and the reason why he didn't kill one hundred thousand cavalry.

Hearing Gu Jinnian's voice, Su Huaiyu also looked very indifferent.

But he continued to speak.

"When I return to Beijing this time, I'm afraid His Royal Highness will suffer in prison."

"This is also a good thing. At least we can use this opportunity to take a good look at who wants to target the son."

Su Huaiyu is very rational.

"I see."

"Brother Su, you don't need to say too much. When you return to Beijing this time, the imperial court will punish you as you like."

"The state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. Gu knows in his heart that he will not make it difficult for His Majesty, nor will it make it difficult for my grandfather."

Gu Jinnian was very natural. He understood what Su Huaiyu meant by saying so much. He was worried that after returning to Beijing this time, if His Majesty did not choose to help him, he would develop knots and condense resentment.

"It's good that the son understands."

Su Huaiyu nodded, since Gu Jinnian understood, he didn't say much.

However, after Su Huaiyu finished speaking, Gu Jinnian couldn't help but speak slowly.

"Have you found out about the Qingyuan Temple incident?"

Gu Jinnian opened his mouth and asked about the latter.

This matter is far from over.

The child disappeared and was taken to Qingyuan Temple. If it was abducted, it would be fine, after all, it was lost in money.

But this matter is far from being so simple. The child was not abducted, but used as a container to refine blood.

This is puzzling.

"Some clues."

"But I'm not sure. It seems to be practicing magic skills, but it's unlikely."

Su Huaiyu spoke up and said so.

"Why?"

Gu Jinnian frowned slightly.

"Your Highness, although there are peerless monks in the world, it is impossible for such a strong man to rely on such low methods to cultivate."

"A person in the devil's way who cultivates with the help of human essence and blood will definitely not be particularly strong, and of course he will not be too weak."

"But this level of magic cultivation is absolutely incapable of affecting a whole family, or even a county, and it also involves King Qi Lin and others."

"Therefore, this matter is not as simple as practicing magic skills."

Su Huaiyu rejected the possibility of practicing magic skills.

After hearing Su Huaiyu's speculation, Gu Jinnian nodded accordingly.

He was absolutely right.

A peerless magician should disdain to use this method to improve his cultivation.

And middle-level magic powers don't have this ability, so this matter is definitely not as simple as practicing magic skills.

"Since it's not practicing magic skills, what would it be?"

"I don't know, but there must be a bigger secret hidden in this matter, and it has something to do with the Kong family."

Su Huaiyu speculated.

"Is it related to the Kong family?"

Hearing about the Kong family, Gu Jinnian's expression changed slightly.

"Probably."

"Even if there is no major relationship, there is definitely a problem."

"By the way, Kong Zhen was taken away."

Su Huaiyu spoke up and said so.

"It was taken?"

"Who allowed it?"

Gu Jinnian frowned and asked.

There must be something wrong with Kong Zhen, and he had some guesses before, but he didn't have any evidence to prove that Kong Zhen was involved in this matter.

But according to normal procedures, Gu Jinnian would not let him go easily.

"Someone came from the Kong family and forcibly took Kong Zhen away."

"I can't stop it. During the few days when you were in a coma, your uncle came forward, but he still didn't stop him."

"But your fifth uncle is not an ordinary person, I'm afraid he has other ideas."

Su Huaiyu said so.

"understood."

Regarding Kong Zhen's departure, Gu Jinnian didn't feel too disturbed. After all, it was Kong's family, and without evidence, they really couldn't stop him, especially when he was unconscious.

However, the behavior of the Kong family is still somewhat suspicious.

At this moment, Gu Jinnian couldn't help but ponder, and a lot of information appeared in his mind.

Gangneung County.

Bailu Mansion.

the Kongs.

King Qi Lin.

Children are missing.

Conceal and do not report.

The container quenches the blood.

One by one information emerged in his mind, and he vaguely noticed something, but it was difficult to think of key points and breakthroughs.

"Brother Su, after returning to Beijing, please do me a favor."

Gu Jinnian spoke up and said so.

"Please tell me, my son."

Su Huaiyu nodded and did not refuse.

"This matter has become a big deal, and the imperial court will definitely investigate all the counties in Daxia."

"Whether the same thing happens again, I think it won't be long before there will be an official document."

"When you have news, no matter what force you use, you must tell me as soon as possible."

Gu Jinnian said so.

He has an idea in his mind, but he is not sure, and needs more information.

"it is good."

Su Huaiyu nodded, but in the end, he took out a small bottle from his arms and handed it to Gu Jinnian.

"what is this?"

Gu Jinnian was a little curious.

"Secret soy sauce."

"The food in the prison is not good. Although His Royal Highness is dedicated to the people, the prison chiefs dare not offend, but after all, there are so many eyes watching, the white rice porridge is at its peak."

"At every meal, you put two drops into it. I've counted the time. If there are no accidents, it can be as fast as seven days or as slow as half a month, and His Royal Highness will be able to come out."

"Two drops a day, just enough to finish eating."

Su Huaiyu said very seriously.

He is very experienced, after all, he has been in prison.

Hearing this, Gu Jinnian was a little helpless, but he still took the secret soy sauce.

Of course, you can't eat it if you eat it. Who knows what Su Huaiyu's secret method is.

"okay."

"His Royal Highness, you can rest for a while, we are about to leave at Maoshi, and the prison car from the Ministry of Punishment has arrived."

"There are also many people watching outside. If His Royal Highness is interested, write a poem before leaving."

"Take it as a memorial."

Su Huaiyu stopped talking, got up and left.

Gu Jinnian was left alone in the room.

After Su Huaiyu left.

Gu Jinnian's mood gradually eased a lot.

About half an hour later.

Gu Jinnian walked out of the inn.

The courtyard of the inn was full of chrysanthemums, which looked a little pleasing to the eye, and the rustling west wind blew and wrinkled his sleeves.

"His Royal Highness."

"I have seen His Royal Highness."

When they saw Gu Jinnian walking out, the guards outside the door opened their mouths and bowed respectfully to Gu Jinnian.

Gu Jinnian nodded as a return gift.

The west wind was blowing, and Gu Jinnian watched the chrysanthemums quietly.

About another half hour.

People from the Criminal Department came and informed Gu Jinnian that the time had come and he was about to leave.

This is probably the most gentle summoned prisoner of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. The two officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice are very polite and dare not speak too loudly.

"it is good."

Gu Jinnian spoke lightly.

The two dare not speak too much, as long as Gu Jinnian cooperates.

After about a quarter of an hour.

Gu Jinnian took a deep breath.

Leave together with the Criminal Department.

outside the inn.

Already standing full of people.

What Gu Jinnian did spread throughout Jiangling County, and the people of Bailu Mansion got up early to see Gu Jinnian off today.

The people of the surrounding prefectures also came slowly after hearing about this incident.

Xu Jin and Wang Peng stood at the door of the inn, waiting for Gu Jinnian.

After Gu Jinnian appeared, Xu Jin and Wang Peng immediately stepped forward to ask how Gu Jinnian was doing.

After getting the answer, the two breathed a sigh of relief.

During this period of time, they witnessed with their own eyes how Gu Jinnian did things for the common people, and what Gu Jinnian did deeply moved the two of them.

Although the imperial court had issued an imperial decree to let the Shankui army return, and the 20 troops returned, the two of them stayed with their cronies and elites, just to send Gu Jinnian away from Bailu Mansion.

The prison van of the Criminal Department appeared outside the inn door.

This looks very dazzling, but it also represents the word national law.

Gu Jinnian did the right thing.

But also doing it wrong.

Right things can be rewarded, but wrong things can also be punished.

Everyone understands this truth, but the common people don't understand it.

When Gu Jinnian appeared, many people cried. They thought that Gu Jinnian was a good man, a good official, and stood up for the people, but why did he end up like this?
"His Royal Highness."

"Wait until you get out of the city, and then enter the prison car."

People from the Ministry of Punishment came and said so in Gu Jinnian's ear.

According to the law, Gu Jinnian will be escorted back to Beijing, but people's hearts are full of flesh. Let alone Gu Jinnian's uncle, he is the left servant of the Ministry of Punishment. What Gu Jinnian did in Bailu Mansion alone is worthy of the law. Show mercy.

Of course this is the only thing they can do.

"It's okay."

"Follow the rules."

Gu Jinnian shook his head, since he was going to be escorted to Beijing, there was no need to make mistakes in such small details.

However, before Gu Jinnian stepped into the prison car, he stopped slowly and then turned around.

"Do you have a pen and paper?"

Gu Jinnian spoke up and asked the head of the criminal department.

"Paper and pen?"

When the latter heard this, he couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

But he immediately fetched a pen and paper for Gu Jinnian, he knew that Gu Jinnian was going to write a poem.

Pen and paper appeared.

The surrounding people couldn't help watching curiously, and officials, big and small, all cast their gazes.

Even these soldiers were deeply curious.

We all know that Gu Jinnian is extremely talented and is known as the arrogance of the poetic world. If he encounters such a thing today, maybe he really has a feeling and writes poems through the ages.

Pen and paper delivered.

Gu Jinnian glanced at the people who could not reach the end, and then spoke slowly.

"Everyone."

"Gu is leaving."

"Thank you for sending me away."

"It's just that after leaving this time, Gu will never forget the matter of Bailu Mansion. I wrote a poem today to remember this matter and burn it in my heart."

Gu Jinnian spoke out, and he informed the people.

At the same time, it is also to express my own summary of what happened in Bailu Mansion.

under the pen.

Gu Jinnian swiped his pen and ink, and then slowly wrote.

[The westerly wind is blowing and the yard is full of plants, the core is cold and fragrant, and the butterflies are hard to come]

[If I were Qing Emperor in other years, the retribution and peach blossoms will bloom together]

This is the title chrysanthemum.

It was written by Huang Chao. Compared with the other poem, this poem is a little more peaceful.

Chrysanthemums are for the common people.

Not alone, but always blooms in the cold winter.

Suffering from the bitter cold.

If one day he can become the God of Sichun, he will make chrysanthemums and peach blossoms bloom at the same time.

Let the people escape the bitter cold.

The poem is written.

In an instant, everyone was silent.

Everyone knew that Gu Jinnian was a great talent in poetry, but they didn't expect Gu Jinnian to be able to compose such poems with a lot of witty remarks.

Some scholars chewed this poem over and over again, gradually realized it, and then deeply admired it.

This poem not only describes the suffering of the common people, but also expresses the righteousness in Gu Jinnian's heart.

It is also an oath.

He doesn't want such a thing to happen again, so when he gains power, he will save the people from fire and water.

If I were Qing Emperor in his years, the retribution and the peach blossoms would bloom together.

"The son of the world is a great talent."

An old Confucianist opened his mouth and bowed respectfully to Gu Jinnian.

And at this moment, the paper fluttered, bursting out wisps of warmth, driving away all the cold.

Xiao Xiao Xifeng also stopped at this moment.

Reflected by the golden sun, it sprinkled endless warmth, and for a moment, the entire Bailu Mansion turned into an extreme world, with spring flowers blooming.

A figure appeared, shining brightly. This is the God of Spring, bringing Chun Ri with him.

Peach blossoms are blooming, accompanied by chrysanthemums.

The bursts of laughter also sounded at this moment. It was the laughter of those children. They were like peach blossoms, blooming at this moment.

This is like a miracle.

The common people were dumbfounded, and the world was dumbfounded.

This is ancient poetry.

Terrifying talent poured into Gu Jinnian's body, and another star appeared in the Wenfu.

The poem is finished.

Gu Jinnian walked into the prison car, sat down cross-legged, and didn't say another word.

This poem expresses the ambition in his heart and everything he wants to express.

People are like chrysanthemums, born from bitter cold.

If I am an emperor, I will bloom with peach blossoms.

This is everything Gu Jinnian wanted to say, thousands of words are contained in this poem.

"Back to Beijing."

Soon, the voice of the Ministry of Justice sounded.

The prison van drives.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding people also knelt down and worshiped.

Gu Jinnian defended the people's grievances, and finally became a prisoner. How can this not make the people feel guilty?How could he fail to win this kneeling?

Yesterday, there was a lot of crying in Bailu Mansion.

It is crying because of human tragedy.

Today, Bailu Mansion is full of crying again.

But it was because of Gu Jinnian that he cried.

The people spontaneously sent out.

The streets on both sides were full of people.

They watched Gu Jinnian leave.

At the same time, they also knew in their hearts that Gu Jinnian's return this time might be a disaster.

The prison van drove slowly.

Not far away, Fairy Yaochi, Fairy Yunrou, Su Huaiyu, and Wang Fugui all stood at the gate of the city waiting for Gu Jinnian.

They returned to Beijing together with Gu Jinnian, but Wang Fugui and the others still needed to recuperate for a while, and they needed to go to the capital early.

Now it's just to see Gu Jinnian off.

Gu Jinnian's fifth and sixth uncles were also waiting at the entrance of the city.

Wait for the prison car to arrive at the entrance of the city.

The figure of Sixth Uncle has come.

"Jinnian, I will stay here with your fifth uncle. After returning to Beijing, don't worry about anything. The old man will take care of everything."

When Gu Ningya opened his mouth, it was just a sentence, which made Gu Jinnian feel at ease.

"Jinnian, you didn't embarrass our Gu family."

"Go back with peace of mind, Uncle Wu will take care of the matter here."

Gu Leng opened his mouth, reached into the prison car, and patted Gu Jinnian on the shoulder to reassure him.

"kindness."

Inside the prison car, Gu Jinnian nodded towards the two of them, then glanced at Fairy Yaochi and the others, and smiled.

Several people also smiled and responded to Gu Jinnian.

Also at this time.

Not far away, some people gathered. The leader was an old woman. She was holding a cane and a piece of clothing in her hand. She came to Gu Jinnian's prison car and made a sound.

"His Royal Highness."

"We sewed this dress for you from the scraps of children's clothes."

"Today's kindness, we have nothing to repay. In the next life, we must repay the kindness of the son."

The old woman opened her mouth, and when she spoke, she was supported and knelt down, and many people knelt down in front of the prison car.

After seeing this scene, the head of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs immediately got out of the carriage, hurriedly helped the people up, and then took the Bainayi, his eyes were full of shock and admiration.

Cut out a corner of the clothes that the children had worn during their lifetime and sew them into a new dress.

Although this dress is extremely ordinary, it is of great significance.

Inside the prison van.

Gu Jinnian got up, and he bowed to everyone.

And Bai Nayi was also taken over by Gu Jinnian.

A simple piece of clothing is as heavy as a mountain, and more than 6000 pieces of broken corners are sewn into one piece of clothing, which has too much meaning.

in this way.

The prison van continued on its way.

Slowly drove out of the city.

Then, headed all the way to Kyoto.

The speed of the prison car will not be too fast, the main reason is that Gu Jinnian will not feel well in the car.

Everyone dare not speed up.

And along the way, when someone saw the prison car of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, they subconsciously avoided it, but after hearing who was in the car, they couldn't help but be in awe.

Even when passing by some prefectures, the common people were moved by the sound and came over one after another.

Some people even cooked some delicious food and sent them to Gu Jinnian.

Even officials from all over the country came to see Gu Jinnian off in person.

There were also some martial artists who came forward to protect Gu Jinnian after they heard about it.

Things about Bailu Mansion.

In the past few days, it has spread throughout the Great Xia Dynasty, and has even spread to the Huns, Fuluo Dynasty, and Dajin Dynasty.

Although countries intend to suppress this kind of news, they can't hold back the mouths of the people.

Even the people of other countries, after hearing what Gu Jinnian had done, couldn't help crying, and praised Gu Jinnian for his praise.

Regardless of national identity, how can Gu Jinnian's actions not make people feel emotional?
But the most intense is naturally the Great Xia Dynasty.

The entire Great Xia Dynasty already knew about this matter. The officials admired Gu Jinnian's heart for the people, and hated the Bailu Mansion's inaction.

Some scholars even wrote poems to praise Gu Jinnian. There is no shortage of scholars of the older generation, and some celebrities also commented on this matter and praised Gu Jinnian's actions.

But no matter what.

There is one thing that everyone understands.

Gu Jinnian did not have much problem serving the people.

It's a good starting point.

But after all, it still trampled on the country's roots, and the court has been arguing about it for the past few days.

There are also some people who stand up and think that Gu Jinnian's actions are for the sake of the people, so they hope that the Ministry of Criminal Justice will show mercy outside the law and punish them, but not too harshly.

But most officials still believe that the case is too involved and the impact is too deep.

If the country can't do it, it has no roots.

Although Gu Jinnian was doing things for the common people, he trampled on the laws of the country and transgressed the rules since ancient times. This is a capital offense.

In addition to the Daxia Dynasty, all the feudal lords and princes, and many officials, large and small, watched.

All of a sudden, the Ministry of Punishment was under the greatest pressure.

The choice before them is nothing more than to kill or not to kill.

If you don't kill, the foundation of the country will be shaken. Can vassal kings and princes, big and small officials of the Great Xia Dynasty follow suit in the future?Is it true that this kind of thing really happened, there is no need to report to the court, as long as it is doing things for the people, you can do whatever you want?
Even in the end when the imperial court issued an imperial decree, you can ignore it?

There is a saying that the general is outside, and the king's life is not accepted.

But this refers to a special situation, an extraordinary moment, and even though it is said that, apart from generals who wanted to rebel, which general dared to do so?

If you really want to do it, even if you make a lot of contributions, after you return, your end will be very ugly.

And if you kill it.

Wouldn't it chill the hearts of the people?And who is behind Gu Jinnian, how can the Ministry of Criminal Justice not know?
Because of this incident, Minister of the Ministry of Justice had a headache for a long time. In the end, he really had no choice but to ask His Majesty to see him, hoping to get an answer.

It's just that after the face saint, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice left the palace with a heavy expression on his face.

His Majesty said only one word.

Handle cases according to law.

His Majesty has spoken, and Minister of the Ministry of Justice will naturally not have other ideas, but whether this matter is to kill or not to kill, it will have a great impact on Daxia.

Go back to Shang's study.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice looked at the dossier in front of him and was silent for a long time.

In the end, he took a deep breath, fetched a brush, stained it with cinnabar ink, and impressively left a few words on the file.

【Cutting decision】

This is his approval.

Make a decision.

He could only do this, it was impossible.

After the dossier was approved, Xu Ping let out a long breath.

Then hand over the dossier to the people below and send it to the palace, waiting for His Majesty's final approval.

Walk out of Shang's study room.

Looking at the chrysanthemums in the courtyard, Xu Ping was a little silent, and finally he spoke slowly.

"If I were Qing Emperor in his youth, I would repay and bloom with peach blossoms."

"His Royal Highness, you are truly unparalleled in the world."

"Old man, I'm ashamed."

Xu Ping sighed, he admired Gu Jinnian from the bottom of his heart, even though he stood in his position, he also sentenced Gu Jinnian to death.

But what Gu Jinnian did made him admire from the bottom of his heart.

Marquis of Linyang really gave birth to a good son.

Zhen Guogong really has a good grandson.

The dossier was sent away.

And this moment.

In the prime minister's mansion.

Standing in the study, Li Shan slowly wrote down the poems written by Gu Jinnian in Bailu Mansion.

In the end, his brush fell slowly.

The eyes are extremely calm.

"Do you want to use this to win the hearts of the people?"

"impossible."

He muttered to himself, his eyes filled with various thoughts.

And at the same time.

Xijingfu.

In a huge palace, King Qilin held a jade pendant and looked at the poems presented by his servants.

There was indifference in his eyes.

And below the palace, a voice also sounded slowly.

"My lord."

"Gu Jinnian once again sabotaged our plan. If there is no countermeasure now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete the great cause."

The voice sounded, it was a man in black who stood in the palace and said so.

"You guys have gone too far."

King Qi Lin looked at the man in black with cold eyes.

Sensing King Qi Lin's gaze, the latter spoke slowly without any fear.

"My lord, it's not that I'm overdoing things, but that I'm non-toxic and not a husband."

"If you don't do this, the Great Xia Dynasty will surely soar to the sky, and the position of the monarch will also be as stable as a mountain."

"My lord, please forgive me."

The latter spoke out, not a bit guilty about what happened in the Bailu Mansion, but thought it was non-toxic and not a husband.

"Humph."

King Qi Lin snorted coldly, obviously he was really dissatisfied.

But after a while, his voice continued to sound again.

"No matter what, I will stop what you are doing."

"The imperial court will definitely pay attention to this matter. When the time comes, follow the vine and follow the vine, and all your plans will be in vain."

"The thing to do right now is to mobilize all forces and bring Gu Jinnian to death."

"He's about to win the hearts of the people."

"If he wins the hearts of the people, no one will be able to deal with him in the future, and he will not be able to grow up."

"What this king should do has already been done, let the people behind you also do their best. If Gu Jinnian does not die this time, this king will have to reconsider our cooperation."

King Qi Lin spoke.

He was involved in the affairs of the Bailu Mansion, but he really didn't know the specifics, he just covered up many people.

Had he known this was the case, he would not have participated.

This is the last trace of conscience in my heart.

But the matter has come to this point, it is naturally impossible for him to give up, it is only the last step, if there is a chance, he still wants to try.

"Please rest assured, my lord."

The latter nodded, then turned and left.

After he left, there was hesitation in King Qi Lin's eyes.

Until the next day.

Daxia Kyoto.

It's not yet dawn.

Many people have risen early.

Today, they learned that a man named Gu Jinnian was about to be escorted back to Beijing.

The people are waiting on the road that must be passed.

I want to take a look at Gu Jinnian.

In the past few days, the affairs of Bailu Mansion have been hotly discussed in Kyoto, and everyone is complaining about what happened to Gu Jinnian.

He believed that Gu Jinnian was dedicated to serving the people, but he was imprisoned tragically.

But people speak lightly, and it doesn't work.

In this way, when it was Yinshi, the prison car slowly appeared and caught the eyes of the people.

The prison van arrives.

The people looked over one after another.

In the prison car.

Gu Jinnian sat cross-legged quietly. He seemed calm these days and rarely spoke.

He was also thinking about many reasons in his heart.

Things about Gangneung County.

Things about Bailu Mansion.

Too many things made him think for himself.

For some reason, Gu Jinnian gradually understood some truths. He was thinking whether he should speak up.

But finally he shook his head.

Although suffering.

But I haven't fully understood the truth yet, and I still need some supplements and inner recognition.

Otherwise, if you don't follow your heart, you can't really speak up.

The words of life.

"His Royal Highness, you have arrived in Kyoto."

The voice of the head of the criminal department sounded, reminding Gu Jinnian.

Hearing this, Gu Jinnian gradually came to his senses, and he looked at the people in the capital.

The common people came together, and there were many scholars among them.

These scholars looked at Gu Jinnian as if they were looking up at a saint, with admiration in their eyes.

"The world is eternal."

In the crowd, I don't know who shouted.

The next moment, a deafening sound followed.

"The world is eternal."

One after another voices sounded, and the voices gathered like the sea and scattered the sky.

Whether it's common people or scholars, they've heard about Gu Jinnian for a long time.

Today I just express it in my heart, saying that the world will last forever.

Faced with such admiration, Gu Jinnian was very calm in his heart. What he did was not just to get praise.

The prison car drove slowly, Gu Jinnian was extremely calm.

But right now.

A team appeared.

The leader was Liu Yan. He brought some palace guards and stopped the prison car.

Then slowly unfold the imperial decree and speak out.

"Follow the sky to carry it, the emperor decreed."

"The eldest son, Gu Jinnian, eliminated harm for the people and saved the people of the Bailu Mansion from the fire and water. This is an immortal achievement, and it is an example for scholars all over the world."

"However, the eldest son Gu Jinnian resisted the imperial edict and disrespected it, usurped the foundation of the country, and acted arbitrarily. The market is decisive."

"It can't be changed, it can't be amnesty, this is it."

sounded.

Liu Yan put down the imperial decree.

But the surrounding people couldn't help being in an uproar.

give death?

Who would have thought that Gu Jinnian would be given death?

They knew that although Gu Jinnian saved the people this time, he also caused a catastrophe.

He knew that the imperial court would punish Gu Jinnian severely, but what he didn't expect was that he would be sentenced to death?
And is it going to be executed in seven days?

Isn't this time too fast?

"Why so fast? What His Royal Highness has done needs to be measured, and a decision can be made so quickly? Is this the court's handling of the case?"

Some scholars couldn't help but open their mouths and questioned Liu Yan.

"Is this the Ministry of Punishment? Officials of the Bailu Mansion committed heinous crimes, but they had to be interrogated slowly. His Royal Highness killed the people, but he violated the rules and was sentenced to beheaded directly? Is this fair?"

"I am not convinced, His Royal Highness has no faults and cannot be beheaded."

"Yes, it cannot be cut."

One after another voices sounded, it was some scholars, and they couldn't stand it anymore after hearing the seven-day question.

They opened their mouths, wanting to speak out for Gu Jinnian.

Not only them, but even these ordinary people couldn't help but open their mouths to defend Gu Jinnian.

Facing the commotion of the crowd, Liu Yan didn't say anything, but stepped forward quickly and handed the imperial decree to Gu Jinnian.

"Students accept the order."

In the prison car, Gu Jinnian received the imperial decree, and after hearing the decree, there was no disturbance in his heart.

"His Royal Highness."

"It may be a bit bitter and cold in the prison. You have to endure it. Someone is watching you. Some hardships must be endured."

Liu Yan opened his mouth and reminded Gu Jinnian.

"kindness."

Gu Jinnian nodded.

Didn't say much.

So, under the controversy of countless people.

The prison van is heading towards the Kyoto prison
Kyoto is imprisoned in Beicheng.

The cells are tight.

After Gu Jinnian got off the prison van, the cell boss came to greet Gu Jinnian himself.

Don't dare to neglect in the slightest.

Although he knew what His Majesty's will was, he didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest.

The grandson of Lord Zhen Guo, he couldn't afford to provoke him.

Enter the prison.

dim.

An indescribable smell permeated the air.

Stink, sweat, and some weird smells.

The prison was extremely dark.

At the same time, it is also extremely strict, with jailers constantly patrolling, and every cell is detaining serious offenders, some are officials, some are reckless people in the world, and some are bandit leaders.

With the appearance of Gu Jinnian, these people couldn't help but look over curiously, but it seemed that they had been reminded before that these people didn't say anything after seeing Gu Jinnian.

Otherwise, according to the previous style of doing things, I'm afraid they have already started to shout.

Soon, follow the jailer.

Came outside the prison door.

The inside of the cell is only eight feet wide and four fathoms deep. The room is short and narrow, but compared to other cells, it is at least a bit better here, it is slightly clean, and it is obviously tampered with, so it doesn't look too dull.

And there is a small window that lets in some light.

"His Royal Highness."

"The environment in the prison is not good. I have prepared this for you to the best of my ability. I hope His Royal Highness will not dislike it."

The head of the prison opened his mouth, appearing to be respectful.

"Thank you."

Gu Jinnian walked into the prison, only said thank you, and then sat down cross-legged.

A faint light cast down, Gu Jinnian closed his eyes and meditated.

Although the place was dirty and messy, it gave Gu Jinnian enough peace.

Gu Jinnian's heart also slowly calmed down.

He does need some time to calm down.

However, it was relatively quiet compared to the cell.

The outside world is already in chaos.

The news that Gu Jinnian was sentenced to death spread instantly, and everyone in the capital, whether they were ordinary people or scholars, were deeply dissatisfied.

One is to avenge the people's grievances for the flood in Jiangning County.

The second is to make a statement for the Great Xia Dynasty, and not to pay tribute if you are not in harmony.

The third is for the people of Jiangling County, who beheaded and killed officials, and the people have complained.

These three incidents are vividly remembered by the common people, but they finally came to a decisive end.

How is this convincing?
There is a lot of discussion.

It also drew huge public resentment.

In Daxia Academy, all the students wrote articles one after another, using their family's power to plead for Gu Jinnian's life.

Scholars in Kyoto were also infected, and they jointly petitioned for their lives, hoping that the emperor would show mercy outside the law and forgive Gu Jinnian for his mistakes.

And the town government.

There was also a lot of trouble. Gu Jinnian's mother, Princess Ningyue, was crying and wanted to visit her son.

Inside the Daxia Palace.

When the Queen Mother learned of this, she was furious and went to find Emperor Yongsheng herself.

There was a lot of trouble.

It can be said that almost everyone who knew Gu Jinnian thought of a way for Gu Jinnian, and hoped that His Majesty would show mercy.

But these are not enough.

Whether it is the Duke of Zhen, the Queen Mother, or these scholars jointly petitioning for their orders, this is not enough to show mercy outside the law.

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Emperor Yongsheng also encountered trouble.

To be precise, it was under pressure.

During the Great Xia Dynasty, the eight princes personally played a performance, and they wanted to come to the capital to supervise and execute Gu Jinnian.

He is ready to leave at any time, and the official schedule for going to the capital has also been handed over to the Ministry of Rites. Now it is up to him whether he agrees or not. As long as he is approved, the Eight Kings will enter the capital immediately.

Their purpose in entering Beijing is simple.

It is to suppress public opinion and make the court have to give an explanation.

An explanation that convinced everyone.

This matter is much more serious than imagined.

Emperor Yongsheng understood.

someone.

I really want Gu Jinnian to die.

For this reason, he immediately sent for Su Wenjing.

Facing the Eight Kings' entry into Beijing, Emperor Yongsheng really felt unprecedented pressure.

Su Wenjing entered the palace again.

Su Wenjing was also a little surprised when he heard the news that the Eight Kings had entered Beijing.

"His Majesty."

"This is an unprecedented challenge."

"Yu imperial power."

"In the hearts of the people."

"In Confucianism and Taoism."

"If you survive this catastrophe, incredible things will happen."

Su Wenjing spoke.

This is his opinion.

He believed that Gu Jinnian could survive this disaster.

But Emperor Yongsheng could understand what it meant. Su Wenjing believed that Gu Jinnian was true, but he couldn't go on like this, otherwise, he would cause a lot of trouble and end up unable to end it.

Therefore, Emperor Yongsheng immediately sent someone to invite Lord Zhen Guo.

But Duke Zhen didn't come.

All of a sudden, Emperor Yongsheng understood what Duke Zhen meant.

This catastrophe.

I'm afraid that Gu Jinnian will have to survive by himself.

Or yes.

You have to face a choice.

A big choice.

At a critical moment, the only person in the Great Xia Dynasty who can help Gu Jinnian is him.

It really doesn't make any sense whether Lord Zhen Guo will come or not.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yongsheng took a deep breath.

"Mr. Wen Jing."

"Go to the prison in Kyoto."

"Tell Jinnian."

"Let him give me a chance."

Emperor Yongsheng spoke.

That's all he said.

Then he approved the memorial of the Eight Kings entering Beijing.

allow.
