Chapter 3 Chapter Seventy-Seven

A large number of prisoners poured into the cell at once, crowded in the aisle, looking chaotic.However, because the officials imprisoned before and the officials imprisoned at this moment belong to two camps, neither of them spoke. They just looked at each other with inexplicably complicated emotions. Inside and outside the cell, the two camps were fighting to the death yesterday, but today they are both prisoners. What kind of grievances, hatred, cause and effect, this high wall seems to cover everything in the world, and everyone has a sense of being out of the dust.But with Musi's arrival, all this changed immediately.

Musi came here on horseback, and after these prisoners were locked up, they were escorted by Jin Yiwei to walk through the city and walked. In addition, there were so many of them, so their movements were inevitably slow, so they rushed to the prison almost at the same time. Sai Hazhi's loud voice suddenly roared in the prison: It doesn't matter if there are not enough cells, as long as everyone squeezes together, it's not that Eunuch Mu is here too, everyone listens to Eunuch Mu to allocate cells! Mu Si said in an embarrassed voice: Master Sai Hazhi, you are wrong, our family is not here to allocate cells, our family is here to proclaim the decree.

oh!oh?Okay, tell me, tell me, everyone listen, Eunuch Mu has the emperor's will, everyone listen carefully. There was a sudden silence in the big prison, no matter if they were already in the cell or crowded in the aisle, everyone pricked up their ears, everyone thought: Is the emperor's will to release me? Musi coughed, cleared her throat, and said loudly: "The Emperor has a decree, and it has been found out that Fu Guogong Yang Xu was framed by an adulterer. He was imprisoned innocently, and he will be released immediately!" Sai Hazhi laughed loudly, and the laughter echoed in the entire cell: I just said, hahaha, the Duke is loyal, how could he be a traitor.What about people?People, come on, you have no eyesight, give me the key quickly!

Sai Hazhi snatched the key and went straight to Xia Xun's cell excitedly. Huang Zhen jumped up excitedly, and boasted: "Master Guo, you are amazing!"Amazing! Xia Xun smiled slightly. All of this was in his expectation, so he was naturally happy and carefree, but in the eyes of others, he secretly admired him: this Fuguo Duke is not surprised, and his heart and tolerance are indeed very comparable. At this time, Musi stood still and continued to shout: Be quiet!Quiet!The decree has not yet been announced! Immediately the cell fell silent again. Dong Gong Zuo Yude Yang Shiqi, released from prison!

Yang Rong, Huang Huai, Yang Pu, Huang Zhen and others immediately bowed their hands to congratulate Yang Shiqi's cell: Congratulations, congratulations! Sai Hazhi just opened the door of Xia Xun's cell at this time, when the cell boss rushed over, took the key from him, and continued to open the door of Yang Shiqi's cell. Musi then shouted: Yang Rong, a cabinet scholar, get out of prison! congratulations There was another sound of congratulations all around. Chen Ying stood firmly on the ground with handcuffs and shackles. He raised his chin and looked at the roof of the cell. A beard under his chin was raised like a goatee. When viewed from the side, his There was no expression on his face at all, and he didn't know what he was thinking, maybe it was just the feeling of success and defeat.

Huang Zhen, the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is released from prison! Hey!It's my turn, I'm here, I'm here, the old man is here! Huang Zhenxin waved at the prison boss happily, and his affectionate gaze made the prison boss feel a chill. Xia Xun had already walked out of the cell, and the released officials also came out one after another, because he had the highest official rank, and two great scholars, Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi, were standing next to him. They gathered around, and in this way, in the long corridor of the cell, two groups with distinct barriers were formed:

One is the Hanwang Party headed by Chen Ying. They have just been imprisoned. One is the princelings headed by San Yang, and they will be released from prison immediately. Chen Shou, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, is released from prison! After Chen Shou was released from prison, Musi's voice stopped. At first, everyone thought that he was going to slow down and give the cell boss some time to open each cell door one by one, but after Mu Si finished calling Chen Shou's name, he closed the list, and the cheers in the cell Slowing down a little bit, many officials asked in surprise: "Eunuch Mu, keep reading, why don't you read it?"

Musi spread her hands and said: "The emperor announced the list of adults who will be pardoned. Our family has already finished reading it!" ah!What?What about me?What about us? What's going on, how come this is over and we are still in prison? There was a sudden chaos in the cell, and when they rushed outside Yang Pu's cell, they clasped four hands. The excited Yang Pu and Yang Shiqi both looked at Musi in astonishment, and the other side stood outside the door of the cabinet scholar Huang Huai, who was happily talking with him. Yang Rong, who was talking, also turned his head, with a smile stuck on his face.At this time, the number of people who were pardoned and released from prison was only slightly less than half of the original number of people in prison.

Huang Zhen was also inexplicably astonished, and hurriedly turned his head and said: Duke, look After only half a sentence, Huang Zhen stopped his voice. Xia Xun, who had always been calm and confident, also showed surprise. Obviously, this incident was also beyond his expectation. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Chen Ying, who was also unexpected, no longer raised his head. He looked left and right, and after confirming that he had heard correctly, he suddenly burst into laughter.Before he could smile, he was stabbed fiercely in the waist by a Jin Yiwei behind him with a knife handle. Chen Ying staggered, panting to stop the laughter, but still sneered.

At this time, Mu En said again: "The emperor said, you adults who have been pardoned don't need to go to the palace to thank you, and go back to the government offices!" Xia Xun frowned and thought for a while, then said to Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi: "You two elders, this is not the place to talk, let's go out first."What's the matter, let's talk about it when we meet the emperor tomorrow! Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi nodded worriedly, and each turned around to comfort the officials who could not be released, then followed Xia Xun out.Jin Yiwei escorted Chen Ying and the others to walk in, and when they passed by shoulder-to-shoulder twice, they wanted to smile in their hearts, but when they actually faced each other, there was no happiness or worry on their faces.It was just a glance, and they passed by.

There is no personal enmity between them, this is a political struggle, and it's just a winner and a loser. Liu Yujue had already received the news, and was rushing here excitedly. When Xia Xun came out with Chen Dong, the prison officer who had been in charge of monitoring him in the prison, he bumped into Liu Yujue.Because too many people were arrested at once, and the imperial prison did not have so many numbered cells, some prisoners had to be transferred to the cells in Jinyi Nan Town for temporary detention.Liu Yujue came to pick him up. Seeing Xia Xun released, Liu Yujue was naturally happy. The three of them were chatting and laughing. The big boss Sai Hazhi arranged the affairs in the prison briefly, and chased him out in a gust of wind. Grandpa, congratulations, congratulations, hahahaha The three of them stood talking and laughing outside the imperial prison for a while, Liu Yujue still had official business to do, and Chen Dong had to rush back to Dongchang immediately to report his orders, but Sai Hazhi was the second in charge of Jin Yiwei, but he was not in charge at all. If you don’t go to Much Ado About Nothing, Ji Gang will recite Amitabha Buddha, so you don’t care about him, so Saihazhi is very free. Sai Hazhi said loudly: "You are busy with your work. I will send the Duke back to the mansion. After you hand over the mission, I will visit the Duke's mansion again." Everyone was friends like brothers in life and death, and they were not polite. Liu Yujue and Chen Dong went on their own errands, so Sai Hazhi asked someone to bring two horses to accompany Xia Xun back home. Xia Xun half-loosed the rein, thinking about the emperor's intentions for this move.In fact, he had foreseen his entry and exit from prison long ago, and he had already vaguely guessed the emperor's purpose by analyzing the various information he had obtained before: What the king of Han has done has exceeded the limit that the emperor can bear, and the emperor is ready to solve this problem.But it is easy for the emperor to solve this matter, but it is difficult to completely eliminate hidden dangers.Because the emperor did not know how many party members the Han Dynasty had in the court, even though Jin Yiwei and Dongchang were the emperor's ear gods, it was impossible for them to know everything. Once a few fish slipped through the net, wouldn't the story of Xu Jizu, Geng Changxing and other Jianwen remnants framing officials and instigating infighting within the court repeat in the future?Furthermore, although he is determined to solve the problem of the King of Han, this matter can only be resolved internally, and the conflicts between the princes and the discord among the officials cannot be made public to the world.The reputation of the King of Han is also part of the royal reputation, and it cannot be destroyed if it has to be done. At the same time, Zhu Gaoxu is his own son. Although he is an emperor, if he wants to completely abandon his personal ties and become a ruthless emperor who has nothing to do with all things, he can't do it. He doesn't want to push this son into a desperate situation. Send him off as a vassal, so that he has no power to fight for the reserve. That's why he took pains to set up this game, not only to wipe out all the party members supported by the Han Dynasty in the court, but also to set up a clever name to avoid the topic of fighting for the reserve. And Xia Xun saw the emperor's purpose. When Zhu Di set up a trap, but Chen Ying, an old fox, refused to jump into it, he knew that the bait was not enough, so he had to be put in prison too. Chen Ying would be fooled, so he tacitly cooperated with the emperor and acted out such a play. Of course, as an important part of the emperor's plan, this is only his personal understanding. Before the emperor planned this play, he did not inform him.The emperor is the Ninth Five-Year Sovereign, thunder, rain and dew are all benevolence of the king, he doesn't need to care about your misunderstanding, he can't condescend to explain to you first. The emperor has the pride and dignity of the emperor. He has no reason to explain the reason to you first because he is afraid of making you unhappy.At the same time, Xia Xun speculated that what the emperor did was a blow to him: You can unequivocally support the eldest son of the emperor as the crown prince, but you can't use all kinds of conspiracy to help the prince. Do you treat the emperor as a display or do it? puppet? The second purpose of the emperor is naturally to use his strength to ensure the smooth passage of the proposal to move the capital.He understood this a long time ago, and the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty also understood it now. When the horses were riding around outside the Meridian Gate, they vaguely seemed to see Emperor Yongle standing on the Meridian Gate tower, proudly repeating Tang Taizong's words. Li Shimin's words: The heroes of the world are in my trap! If the matter stops here and everything is out of Xia Xun's control, Xia Xun can probably drink a glass of wine in the imperial prison and say one sentence complacently: The heroes and emperors of the world are all in my hands! However, the next development was different from Xia Xun's expectation. Xia Xun thought about it, and followed Sai Hazhi in a casual manner. When he looked up, he found that Sai Hazhi had taken the wrong path
