Outside Fengxian Hall.
Chen Daquan and Sun Jiaxing looked nervous, and they didn't even dare to take a deep breath.
They never expected that when they came to the palace this time, they would actually meet the Holy Spirit!
Although Zhu Yuanzhang and the others had met him before, it was in the prison. This was the first time for him to be in the palace.
As two little jailers, this is already a great honor.
But because they didn't know what was going on, the two of them only felt nervous and uneasy.
"Okay, you two can go in."
The eunuch walked up to the two of them and said calmly.
Chen Daquan and Sun Jiaxing then entered the Fengxian Hall. They lowered their heads and walked slowly, for fear of doing something wrong.
Although they were wearing official uniforms, compared to this palace, they were still quite eye-catching.
"I pay homage to Your Majesty!" x2
As soon as Chen Daquan and Sun Jiaxing arrived in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, they immediately knelt down.
"Get up."
Zhu Yuanzhang said calmly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" X2
The two stood up and stood respectfully, not daring to move at all.
Chen Daquan was feeling a little better, but Sun Jiaxing's body was shaking a little.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two of them and asked, "When Yang Xian interrogated Su Jing, you two were the ones who escorted Su Jing, right?"
"yes."
Chen Daquan replied.
"Okay, then I want to know, how did Su Jing sign this confession?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said, unfolding the confession letter handed over by Yang Xian in front of his desk.
After dealing with Yang Xian, Zhu Yuanzhang also carefully looked at the signed confession.
Lao Zhu didn't care about the content of the evidence.
This was obviously a crime that Yang Xian had fabricated for Su Jing. They were all unfounded charges.
But the place where the signature is stamped is very interesting.
First of all, Su Jing's name was wrong, but Zhu Yuanzhang understood this mistake.
Because Su Jing proposed the concept of simplified characters when she was teaching Zhu Biao.
Lao Zhu wants to know how Su Jing signed it?
Chen Daquan replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I left after escorting Mr. Su. I did not see the detailed process of the right Prime Minister's interrogation and Mr. Su's signature and signature."
Yang Xian's interrogation of Su Jing was not a legitimate matter in itself, and naturally he would not be seen by the guards in the prison.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said nothing.
Sun Jiaxing was already panicking and immediately said: "I really didn't see anything. Yang Xian didn't let them aside at all."
"Why are you panicking? I didn't say you were lying to me."
Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask: "Then you can hear sounds similar to screams. Are there any signs of torture on Su Jing's body?"
Although he said hello, Zhu Yuanzhang was still worried that Yang Xian would not follow common sense and do something extreme.
"No, I didn't hear anything."
Sun Jiaxing immediately replied, that's called quick.
Unfortunately, this obviously mindless answer did not satisfy Zhu Yuanzhang.
Lao Zhu turned to look at Chen Daquan and asked, "Say."
Chen Daquan replied: "Reporting to your Majesty, I did not hear any shouting. There were no injuries on Mr. Su's body, and there were no signs that the torture instruments had been used."
"Not only that, Mr. Su looks good, but Prime Minister Right looks a little annoyed."
Um?
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was inevitably a little surprised.
This Yang Xian is not himself, he is really quite hostile to Su Jing.
When Su Jing faced Yang Xian, how could she still be so angry with Yang Xian but she didn't suffer any punishment?
"Your Majesty, I still have something to say."
Chen Daquan said.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Say quickly."
Chen Daquan said: "When Mr. Su was escorted back, Mr. Su once told us that maybe the person who died was the Prime Minister Right. I thought that Mr. Su should be very cooperative and signed the signature."
"Oh, why do you think that?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Chen Daquan curiously.
Chen Daquan replied: "Although I have not spoken to Mr. Su a few times, I can feel that Mr. Su is not an ordinary person. Since Mr. Su said that the person who died was the right prime minister, how could Mr. Su care about a dead person?" What? It doesn’t hurt to cooperate and sign and stamp.”
Listening to Chen Daquan's words, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, and then asked: "What is your name?"
"My surname is Chen, and my given name is Daquan."
Chen Daquan replied immediately.
"Chen Daquan is a good name."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Okay, you two can go. By the way, Yang Xian will be put in prison. Remember, he must be placed next to Su Jing."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" X2
The two immediately stood up and left slowly.
"Su Jing, you really don't care. Such a confession can also be signed and stamped in cooperation. Aren't you afraid that if we really use this confession, we will be directly convicted."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the confession document and said to himself.
Chen Daquan's answer was basically similar to what Lao Zhu had guessed. Su Jing should have cooperated quite a lot by signing and depositing money.
If this is taken advantage of by someone with intentions, a confession signed and stamped like this can really lead to a conviction.
However, Su Jing's doing this 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 a few times, Zhu Yuanzhang put it away.
…
Outside the palace.
Chen Daquan and Sun Jiaxing were escorting Yang Xian. Of course, they were not the only ones escorting him.
However, because Chen Daquan performed better when replying, Zhu Yuanzhang handed over the responsibility of the person in charge to him.
"Old Chen, you are so brave and can still face it calmly in front of His Majesty."
Sun Jiaxing said to Chen Daquan.
Chen Daquan said: "How can I be brave? I'm just telling the truth, but you, grandson, are so panicked."
Sun Jiaxing's face looked a little ugly and said: "Isn't that afraid? I will learn more from you in the future and build good relationships with you."
"Come on, this is not just talk."
Chen Daquan joked.
Sun Jiaxing did not refute, and said: "It is also a good relationship to form a good relationship with your mouth. Just take your time."
Chen Daquan sighed: "To say that this life is really full of ups and downs, Prime Minister, you were so powerful before, but now you are so miserable!"
Yang Xian's matter has become the biggest topic of discussion in the court at this moment.
Compared to Wang Guangyang before, it was much more shocking.
The most Wang Guangyang did was that he was unlucky and not filial enough, so he was sent home directly.
As for Yang Xian, the crime was that of wanton adultery, and he could not escape the death penalty.
"yes."
Sun Jiaxing nodded and said, "Old Chen, do you think Mr. Su can come out?"
Chen Daquan glanced at Sun Jiaxing and shook his head: "Old Sun, when His Majesty left, he specifically asked us to arrange Yang Xian next door to Mr. Su. Don't you understand what this means?"
"Huh? What's the point of this?"
Sun Jiaxing frowned.
Chen Daquan explained: "Isn't this a very simple reason? In the beginning, it was Yang Xian who interrogated Mr. Su. Now that Yang Xian has become a prisoner, the identities of Mr. Su and Yang Xian have been interchanged. Isn't this obvious?"
Sun Jiaxing was still a little confused. Despite his usual lively appearance, his mind was quite average.
"Old Chen, why are you half-speaking? What's so obvious?"
Sun Jiaxing continued to ask.
Chen Daquan had no choice but to continue explaining: "When Yang Xian arrives in the prison, meets Mr. Su, and then Mr. Su is released, isn't that an identity swap? Your Majesty must want to release Mr. Su."
"I see, then Mr. Su is really fine!"
Sun Jiaxing understood and said excitedly, "I have to hurry up and make more good connections with Mr. Su."
Soon, Yang Xian was escorted to the prison.
"Let's go, ahead."
Chen Daquan led the way through the cells and finally arrived at Su Jing's cell.
At this time, Su Jing was still drawing on the wall. The world map was now quite clear, with rough mountains and rivers distributed in detail.
What Su Jing is adding now is just some 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 quite quickly!"
Yang Xian's face was miserable. Faced with Su Jing's ridicule, he no longer had any thoughts to refute. He just lowered his head like a defeated rooster.
"Mr. Su, he has been sentenced to beheading. He must have been frightened."
Sun Jiaxing immediately explained to Su Jing.
Su Jing nodded and said: "Sun Laotou, right? Thank you for letting me know."
"Anyway, if Mr. Su has any requests, just ask him. As long as I can do it, just say it!"
When Sun Jiaxing saw that Su Jing still remembered his name, he was very excited and immediately began to flatter her.
Su Jing smiled and said, "Then I want to go out now. Can Prison Chief Sun be released?"
Sun Jiaxing was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "Mr. Su, it's not that I don't want to let go, but..."
Obviously, Sun Jiaxing did not expect that Su Jing would make such a request.
When Zhu Yuanzhang gave them the order, he did not say that Su Jing would be released, so Sun Jiaxing did not dare to agree.
But the big words I just said are really embarrassing now.
"Old Sun, Mr. Su is just kidding, telling you to talk nonsense."
Chen Daquan spoke to ease the embarrassment.
Su Jing looked at Chen Daquan and said, "Chen Laotou, you are a nice person. Thank you for taking care of me during this period."
Chen Daquan immediately said: "Mr. Su, you're welcome. There is a limit to what I can do, but Mr. Su is still great. I think he will be able to go out soon."
"Who knows."
Su Jing waved her hand and said, "It doesn't matter if we can't get out anyway, it doesn't matter."
Sun Jiaxing said: "Mr. Su, didn't you tell us before that it's not certain who died. Now that he has been sentenced to death, you must know whether it is right or not."
As soon as Sun Jiaxing said this, Yang Xian's expression changed obviously.
He couldn't help but look up at Su Jing, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
"I was just guessing."
Su Jing didn't explain anything, she just made a fool of herself.
"Mr. Su, we won't disturb you and let's go first."
Chen Daquan escorted the people in without intending to stay. This was obviously to give Su Jing and Yang Xian some private time.
"good."
Su Jing responded, and was even more impressed by the jailer Chen Daquan.
In the dark cell, Su Jing once again began to add details to the map on the wall.
"Su Jing."
I don't know how long it took, but Yang Xian came to the cell fence and shouted to Su Jing on the other side.
"What's wrong, Master Yang?"
Su Jing replied while drawing.
Yang Xian laughed at himself: "Sir, I am just a death row prisoner now."
"Oh, it's gone now. It seems that you are not much different from what I thought."
Su Jing said lightly.
He originally thought that he was still a right-wing prime minister after all, and he should have some magnanimity even if he was in prison.
Unexpectedly, Yang Xian was already extremely decadent now.
Sure enough, those who do not take the right path and have evil thoughts have the least firm will.
"Su Jing, was what the jailer said just now true? Did you already know that I would end up like this?"
Yang Xian asked Su Jing.
Su Jing nodded: "That's right, but don't think that I am a clever strategist. Just think about the things you have done. It is normal for you to end up like this."
It can be said that Yang Xian was executed because of his own suicide.
At this point, Su Jing had already drawn a conclusion from history.
Yang Xian retorted: "Su Jing, what did I do? I just wanted to do something for Ming Dynasty. Is it wrong?"
? ? ?
this……
When Su Jing heard this, she felt it was so shocking.
He really couldn't understand this brain circuit.
"No, Yang Xian, do you really think you are right?"
Su Jing couldn't help but stop what she was doing and asked Yang Xian.
Yang Xian said: "Wrong? What is right or wrong in the court? The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit."
"Huh~"
Su Jing let out a breath, okay.
This is what Yang Xian thinks is right or wrong. This is the right thing to do. He can become the right prime minister. There is nothing wrong with what he said.
"Yang Xian, do you think I am discussing fairness and justice 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: "It's right for you to become the right prime minister, and it's right to target your opponents, but you are wrong for trying to grasp power that does not belong to you."
As soon as these words came out, Yang Xian was stunned.
I have indeed been doing such a thing these days, wanting more power.
Constantly interfering in various things, targeting officials who are dissatisfied with oneself is only superficial, the real core is to control more.
And as a minister, it is wrong to want to control too much!
Yang Xian understood somewhat.
Seeing Yang Xian's silence, Su Jing said, "It seems you understand, but it's too late."
Yang Xian was silent for a moment and then said: "Su Jing, it seems that you can see the Ming Dynasty Hall very clearly. I think you will be able to shine after you go out. It's a pity that I can't see it."
Su Jing shook her head and said: "No, no, no, Yang Xian, you are wrong. Why should I go to court? I don't have the pursuits you have. Although power is good, it is not what I want."
