Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 323 Goodbye Yang Xian, identity swap

Outside Fengxian Hall.

Chen Daquan and Sun Jiaxing looked nervous, they didn't even dare to take a big breath.

They never thought that this time they came to the palace, it turned out to be a face saint!
Although it is said that Zhu Yuanzhang and the others have met each other a long time ago, it was in the prison, and this was the first time in the palace.

It is already a great honor to be two little jailers.

But because they didn't know what was going on, the two of them were only nervous and apprehensive.

"Okay, you two can go in."

The eunuch walked up to the two of them and said lightly.

Chen Daquan and Sun Jiaxing then entered the Fengxian Hall. They lowered their heads and walked slowly, for fear that they might do something wrong.

Although they were wearing official uniforms, they were quite eye-catching compared to this palace.

"I bow to Your Majesty!" x2
As soon as Chen Daquan and Sun Jiaxing came in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, they immediately knelt down.

"Get up."

Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" X2
The two got up and stood respectfully, not daring to move in the slightest.

Chen Daquan was slightly better, but Sun Jiaxing's body was shaking a little.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two and asked, "When Yang Xian interrogated Su Jing, you two escorted Su Jing, right?"

"Yes."

Chen Daquan replied.

"Okay, then I want to know, how did Su Jing sign this confession?"

As Zhu Yuanzhang said, he unfolded the confession letter handed in by Yang Xian in front of his desk.

After dealing with Yang Xian, Zhu Yuanzhang also carefully read the signed confession letter.

Lao Zhu didn't care about the contents of the criminal evidence.

This is obviously the crime that Yang Xian made up for Su Jing, all of which are trumped-up charges.

But the place where the signature is drawn is very interesting.

First of all, Su Jing's name was wrong, but Zhu Yuanzhang understood this mistake.

Because when Su Jing taught Zhu Biao, he proposed the concept of simplified characters.

Old Zhu wanted to know, how did Su Jing sign it?

Chen Daquan replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I withdrew after escorting Mr. Su. I did not see the detailed process of Prime Minister You's interrogation and Mr. Su's signature."

It is not a legitimate matter for Yang Xian to interrogate Su Jing, so naturally the jailers in the prison will not see it.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said nothing.

Sun Jiaxing was already panicked, and immediately said: "I really didn't see anything, Yang Xian didn't let them stay aside at all."

"Why panic? I didn't say that you lied to me."

Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask: "Then you can hear sounds similar to screams. Are there any traces of torture on Su Jing?"

Although he said hello, Zhu Yuanzhang was still worried that Yang Xian would not play his cards according to common sense and do some extreme things.

"No, I didn't hear anything."

Sun Jiaxing replied immediately, that's called a quick one.

It's a pity that Zhu Yuanzhang was not satisfied with this obviously non-brained answer.

Old Zhu turned his head to look at Chen Daquan and asked, "Tell me."

Chen Daquan replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I didn't hear any shouting, and Mr. Su didn't have any scars on his body, and there was no trace of the torture tools being used."

"Not only that, but Mr. Su's complexion looks good, while Prime Minister You looks a little annoyed."

Ok?
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was inevitably a little surprised.

This Yang Xian is not himself, he really has considerable hostility towards Su Jing.

Su Jing faced Yang Xian, how could he still be angry with Yang Xian, but he himself did not suffer any punishment?

"Your Majesty, I still have something to say."

Chen Daquan said.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Say it quickly."

Chen Daquan said: "At that time when Mr. Su was remanded, Mr. Su once told us that the one who died might be Prime Minister You. I thought that Mr. Su should be very cooperative and signed the deed."

"Oh, why do you think so?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Chen Daquan curiously.

Chen Daquan replied: "Although I have not spoken to Mr. Su several times, I can feel that Mr. Su is not an ordinary person. Since Mr. Su said that the one who died was Prime Minister You, how could Mr. Su care about a dead person?" How about it? It’s okay to cooperate with signing and marking.”

Listening to Chen Daquan's words, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, and then asked, "What's your name?"

"My surname is Chen, and my first name is Daquan."

Chen Daquan replied immediately.

"Chen Daquan, that's a good name."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Okay, you two can go, by the way, take Yang Xian to prison by the way, remember, it must be arranged next to Su Jing."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" X2
The two got up immediately and walked away slowly.

"Su Jing, it really doesn't matter to you, this kind of confession can also be signed and pledged, isn't it afraid that we will be convicted directly according to this confession?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the confession document and said to himself.

Chen Daquan's answer was basically the same as what Lao Zhu had guessed. Su Jing should have cooperated quite well with his signature and affidavit.

If this is used by someone with a heart, such a self-signed confession can really be convicted.

However, Su Jing's actions made Zhu Yuanzhang feel relieved a lot.

This at least shows that Su Jing trusts him as the emperor.

After carefully looking at the confession, Zhu Yuanzhang put it away.

……

outside the palace.

Chen Daquan and Sun Jiaxing are escorting Yang Xian, of course, they must be more than the two yamen servants.

However, because Chen Daquan performed better when answering the conversation, Zhu Yuanzhang handed over the responsibility of the person in charge to him.

"Old Chen, you are the brave one, you can still face it calmly in front of His Majesty."

Sun Jiaxing said to Chen Daquan.

Chen Daquan said: "I'm not so brave, I'm just telling the truth, but your grandson is panicked."

Sun Jiaxing's face was slightly ugly and he said: "Isn't that afraid, I will learn more from you in the future and form good karma."

"Come on, this is not a matter of lip service."

Chen Daquan joked.

Sun Jiaxing didn't refute, and said: "It's a good relationship if you say it is good, take your time."

Chen Daquan sighed: "If you say that this life is really full of ups and downs, the majestic Prime Minister, how powerful he was before, how miserable he is now!"

The matter of Yang Xian seems to have become the biggest topic of discussion in the court at this moment.

Compared with Wang Guangyang before, it was much more shocking.

At most, Wang Guangyang was unfavorable in his work and not filial enough, so he was beaten home directly.

As for Yang Xian, the crime was presumptuous and adulterous, and the death penalty was inevitable.

"Yes."

Sun Jiaxing nodded and said, "Old Chen, then you said that Mr. Su, can he come out?"

Chen Daquan glanced at Sun Jiaxing and shook his head, "Old Sun, when His Majesty left, he specifically instructed us to arrange Yang Xian to be next door to Mr. Su. Don't you understand what that means?"

"Huh? What's the point of this?"

Sun Jiaxing frowned.

Chen Daquan explained: "Isn't this a very simple truth? In the beginning, Mr. Su was brought to trial by Yang Xian. Now that Yang Xian has become a prisoner, wouldn't the identities of Mr. Su and Yang Xian have been swapped? Isn't this obvious?"

Sun Jiaxing was still a little dazed, despite his usual appearance, his mind was really quite ordinary.

"Old Chen, how do you say half of what you say, what is obvious?"

Sun Jiaxing continued to ask.

Chen Daquan had no choice but to continue to explain: "When Yang Xian arrives in the prison and sees Mr. Su, and then Mr. Su is released again, isn't that a swap of identities? Your Majesty must want to release Mr. Su."

"So that's the case, then this Mr. Su is really fine!"

Sun Jiaxing understood, and said excitedly: "I have to hurry up and make a good relationship with this Mr. Su."

Soon, Yang Xian was escorted to prison.

"Let's go, ahead."

Chen Daquan led the way, passed through a lot of cells, and finally came to Su Jing's cell.

At this time, Su Jing was still drawing on the wall. The current world map is quite clear, and the rough mountains and rivers are all distributed on it in detail.

What Su Jing now adds is some minor details.

"Mr. Su, Mr. Su!"

As soon as he arrived, Sun Jiaxing immediately greeted Su Jing.

Su Jing looked back and was immediately happy:

"Yang Xian, you came here a little fast!"

Yang Xian's face was miserable, facing Su Shi's ridicule, he didn't have any thought of refuting, just drooped his head, like a defeated rooster.

"Mr. Su, he has already been sentenced to be beheaded. He should have been scared out of his wits."

Sun Jiaxing immediately explained to Su Jing.

Su Jing nodded and said, "Isn't that right, Prisoner Sun, thank you for letting me know."

"No matter what, if Mr. Su has any requirements, just ask, as long as I can do it, just say it!"

When Sun Jiaxing saw that Su Jing still remembered his name, he was quite excited, and immediately flattered him.

Su Jing smiled and said: "Then I want to go out now, can Sun prison be released?"

Sun Jiaxing was stunned for a moment, he hesitated and said: "Mr. Su, it's not that I don't want to let go, but..."

Obviously, Sun Jiaxing did not expect Su Shi to make such a request.

When Zhu Yuanzhang gave them the order, he didn't say that he would release Su Jing, so Sun Jiaxing didn't dare to agree at all.

But the big words I just said are really embarrassing now.

"Old Sun, Mr. Su is joking, telling you to talk big."

Chen Daquan opened his mouth to relieve the embarrassment.

Su Jing looked at Chen Daquan and said, "Chief Chen, you are a nice person. Thank you for taking care of me during this time."

Chen Daquan immediately said: "Mr. Su, you are being polite. There is only so much I can do, but Mr. Su is the best. I think I will be able to go out soon."

"Who knows."

Su Jing waved his hand and said: "Anyway, it doesn't matter if you can't get out, it's okay."

Sun Jiaxing said: "Mr. Su, didn't you tell us before that it is not certain who died. Now that he has been sentenced to death, you must know it, right?"

As soon as Sun Jiaxing said this, Yang Xian's expression changed obviously.

He couldn't help but looked up at Su Jing, with a look of disbelief in his eyes.

"I was just guessing."

Su Jing didn't explain anything, just fooled around a bit.

"Mr. Su, let's not bother, let's go first."

Chen Daquan escorted people in without thinking of staying, this was obviously reserved for Su Jing and Yang Xian's private time.

"it is good."

Su Jing responded, and his impression of this jailer, Chen Daquan, was even deeper.

In the dark cell, Su Jing began to supplement the details of the map on the wall again.

"Su Jing."

I don't know how long it took, Yang Xian came to the fence of the cell and shouted at Su Jing on the other side.

"What's the matter, Master Yang?"

Su Jing replied while drawing.

Yang Xian laughed at himself: "My lord, I'm just a prisoner on death row now."

"Oh, it's gone now, it seems that what you think is not much different from what I think."

Su Jing said lightly.

He thought he was a right prime minister anyway, even if he was imprisoned, he should have some tolerance.

Unexpectedly, the current Yang Xian is already very decadent.

Sure enough, the guy who doesn't follow the right path and has a bad mind has the weakest will.

"Su Jing, is what the jailer said just now true? You already knew that I would end up like this?"

Yang Xian asked Su Jing.

Su Jing nodded: "That's right, but don't think I'm a clever planner, you just think about the things you did, it's normal to end up now."

Yang Xian was executed, it can be said that it was his own death.

At this point, Su Jing has already drawn a conclusion from history.

Yang Xian retorted: "Su Jing, what did I do? I just wanted to do something for Daming, is there something wrong?"

???

This……

When Su Jing heard this, she felt that it was too shocking.

He really couldn't understand this brain circuit.

"No, Yang Xian, do you really think you are right?"

Su Jing involuntarily stopped what she was doing, and asked Yang Xian.

Yang Xian said: "Wrong? Above the court, what is right or wrong? The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit."

"Whoo~"

Su Jing let out a sigh of relief, it's okay.

Yang Xian thinks it is right or wrong, this is right, he can be the right prime minister, there is nothing wrong with what he said.

"Yang Xian, do you think I'm talking about fairness with you?"

Su Jing said lightly.

Hearing this, Yang Xian frowned and said, "Then what do you mean? What did I do wrong?"

Su Jing said slowly: "You are right to be Prime Minister You, and you are right to target your opponent, but your mistake is trying to grasp the power that does not belong to you."

As soon as these words came out, Yang Xian was stunned immediately.

These days, I have been doing such a thing, wanting more power.

Constantly meddling in various things, targeting those officials who refuse to accept themselves is just an appearance, and the real core is to control more.

And as a courtier, it is wrong to want to control too much!
Yang Xian understood a little bit.

Seeing Yang Xian's silence, Su Jing said: "It seems that you already understand, but it's too late."

After a moment of silence, Yang Xian said: "Su Jing, it seems that you can see the Great Ming Dynasty Hall very clearly. You must be able to shine after you go out, but unfortunately I can't see it."

Su Jing shook her head and said: "No, no, Yang Xian, you are wrong, why should I go to court? I don't have your pursuits, although power is good, it is not what I want."
