Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

"Then how do I know that he is not a fake? If he had already thought that I would investigate and let the assassin injure him, then I would really be deceived."

When Zhao Pu heard this, he couldn't help sighing in his heart. Taizong was really suspicious, so he said, "Your Majesty, if the prince is really the mastermind of the assassination, he can ambush his troops and start an incident. Not to mention the other military powers in the hands of the prince, just the guards in the Nanqing Palace The army and bodyguards numbered nearly a thousand people at least. If it really started to fight, it might be difficult to resist for a while, and if the prince had made arrangements in advance, he should have support from both inside and outside, so why would he come to the palace alone and use a few small The assassin made such a shocking move."

Taizong thought for a while, "What the prime minister said is also reasonable, but all the witnesses and evidences point to him. I have to guard against it. Prime Minister, follow me to the prison. I will personally ask about the jade pendant."

"Yes, Your Majesty" Zhao Pu followed Taizong to the prison.

Defang in the sky prison just sat there in a daze for a few days, recalling what happened to the people she met these days, but couldn't figure it out. Defang covered her head with her hands and put it on the table. At this time, the prison chief came over , softly called, "My lord, how are you?"

Defang turned her head to look at the cell boss, "Cell chief, are you calling me the king? What's the matter?"

"Nothing, nothing, my humble job is to see that the prince hasn't eaten much food these days. It's true, the food in the prison is really bad. The people who come here are basically people who have committed capital crimes. Except for steamed buns, they are rotten. Vegetables, no, Beizhi brought you something to eat."

"Thank you prison boss, I can't eat it." Defang shook her head

"My lord, no matter how big it is, you have to fill your stomach first, isn't it?" The cell head opened the cell door, and put a bag of barbecue and a pot of wine on the table. You can eat some of the barbecue meat that Beizhi bought for you."

Defang looked at the wine and meat and asked, "Captain, this king has committed a serious crime now, aren't you afraid of being implicated by doing this?"

"My lord, what are you talking about? Who doesn't know that you are a virtuous king, and you will not commit a king-killing act."

"The prison boss believes in this king?"

"Of course, I have always believed in the prince, so someone must have framed the prince again."

"Again? What does the cell boss mean?"

"My lord, you must not remember the humble position. Six years ago, the lord was taken to prison for General Cao Bin and General Song. Unexpectedly, the lord fell seriously ill. At that time, the humble position was only the duty of the prison. Your majesty brought the imperial doctor to the prison. Seeing a doctor for the prince is the place where the humble servant sends the prince back."

"So that's the case, I never thought that there would be an old friend in the prison today." Defang smiled wryly.

"My lord, all the humble people believe in my lord, you must take care of your health."

"Hey," Defang sighed, "What's the use of taking care of your health?"

"My lord, don't be like this. Isn't the case still being investigated? You will always be innocent. I absolutely believe in my lord."

"The cell boss believes in me, and I am very grateful, but His Majesty does not believe in me," De Fang said, "I can't explain the cause and effect of this whole thing, so how can I convince Your Majesty?"

"My lord, please think about the princess, the prince, the princess, and the people in Nanqing Palace. If your crime is proven, what will they do?"

Defang looked at the cell head, shook his head, then covered his head and leaned on the table with his elbows, and closed his eyes tightly.

Just as the head of the cell was about to speak, a jailer ran up, "Boss, Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, and the guard are coming this way."

"Okay, let's go to meet you." The prison chief put away the meat on the table and said, "Your Majesty, your majesty is here, please don't worry."

"Okay, cell boss, you can go." Defang nodded
