Chapter 154 Accident (2)
Li Jinglong was imprisoned in the Ministry of Justice.
This detention location is worth considering. In the Hongwu Dynasty, there were countless nobles who were imprisoned, and almost few of them could be imprisoned. But they all came to the imperial prison of the Jinyiwei Fushi Department.
However, Li Jinglong, Duke of Cao, was only imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Justice.
It is actually a sign of the truth. Before there was an imperial edict, no decree or decree, or the intention to interrogate. In addition, it was locked in this intriguing place, so Li Jinglong was not wronged.
On the contrary, they are also given some preferential treatment.
In the Ministry of Justice's Prison, Li Jinglong sat silently on a stool in a clean and decent prison. He was wearing the imperial python garment of a noble duke, and his expression was calm.
Li Jinglong, who lived so much, actually did not go through any twists and turns, and his career has been smooth sailing now. The sudden prison disaster is undoubtedly a loud alarm for him.
In recent years, I thought I had become the crown prince, and I was indeed a little proud!
He also took charge of the troops in the Beijing camp, thinking that among the nobles in the future, I, Li Jinglong, will dominate!
When acting and speaking, you will inevitably lose the respect and caution that your subjects should have!
Li Jinglong reflected in his mind one by one, whether he had become a little drifty over the years!
He has been very popular since childhood and has never been exposed to his words and affairs. He is even more versatile, so that no one can make mistakes. He can be different from the present. He can be popular because he does not have much important authority.
Now, he can no longer have good popularity, can no longer act in the past, and can no longer think about keeping some points in everything.
Because the crown prince gave him power to do things, not to make him a human being!
Thinking of this, I felt a deep regret in my heart.
At this moment, footsteps came from outside the door. A officials from the Ministry of Justice brought several prisoners, carrying food boxes, and pushed the door in. The door of his cell was not locked.
The lower officials have met Duke Cao! The officials in the Ministry of Justice perform the rituals.
Don't! Li Jinglong quickly helped them up with his own hands. Their identities were a thousand miles apart. If it were the past, Li Jinglong would not have seen such a low-ranking official, but now it is different from the past. He smiled and said, "Li is guilty and dare not accept your courtesy!"
The officials of the hall smiled and said, "The Duke was joking!" Then, he waved his hand and asked the prison guard to put down the food box, opened the lid with his own hands to reveal the food inside.
Two steamed buns, a bowl of stewed meat, and a plate of pickled vegetables.
There is nothing delicious in the prison, so I feel wronged by the Duke! The officials said again.
Don't dare to do this! Li Jinglong waved his hand and said, "Li is a slander. He can have a lot of grace. How dare he be willing to have a stomachache?" As he said that, he looked at the food box and said again, "I am still in prison and have such food." Li is ashamed and dare not take it!"
As he said that, he bowed and said, "You don't have to arrange anything for Li alone. What does the prisoner next to you eat, what does Li eat?"
The reason why he was so cautious was a good move. Who knew if this official from the Ministry of Justice would report to him when he turned around. Now the dragon was about to sway and the tiger was about to lie down. Not only could he not give any reason to others, but he also wanted to let others see his regret and confess his guilt.
The officials smiled and looked at the cell and said, "This prison is too shabby. Do you want to notify the mansion and send some covers? It's okay during the day, but it's cold in the prison at night? If it's inconvenient, the officials can convey it on their behalf!
No! Li Jinglong waved his hand quickly. One day, Li took it upon himself and lived in the water prison without being punished. His Majesty and the Crown Prince have already made great contributions. How dare Li, no longer know what he is,?
Li took over your heart. But now Li has been to be punished and has already lost the hearts of the Emperor and His Highness. Now it is time to change one's heart.
Seeing that Li Jinglong was careful, the hall official nodded.
At this moment, a prison guard quickly stepped forward and whispered a few words in the ear of the hall official.
Li Jinglong stood very close and vaguely heard the word "sword" and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.
The officials who came with the handwriting asked.
The prison guard said, it was true and there were also the handwritten and seals of the Shangshu on it!
The hall official turned his eyes and bowed to Li Jinglong, Duke Cao sat down for a moment, and your old friend came to see you!
Someone came to see me with a handwriting? I just don’t know if it was the handwriting of the emperor or the crown prince?
Li Jinglong was worried and happy, and couldn't help but stretch his neck and look out.
In sight, at the entrance of the prison, a young official frowned in with a large food box.
Li Jinglong was overjoyed and lay on the railing and shouted, "Xiao Jie, Xiao Jie, I'm here!"
The person who came was not someone else, but was a companion to read in the East Palace, Xie Jin.
Xie Jin walked to the door of the prison with a tense face and did not give the official of the Ministry of Justice at all. He wanted to talk to Duke Cao alone!
Yes, sir, please! The officials of the Ministry of Justice lowered their heads and responded, and helped them close the door of the prison cell.
It was Your Highness who asked you to see me? Everyone had gone far away, Li Jinglong asked in a low voice.
Xie Jin looked around and put the food in the food box on the table.
Braised yellow croaker, salted duck, sliced mushrooms, fried vegetarian meatballs, and four dishes.
Lao Xiang remembers the restaurant's craftsmanship while it's hot! After Xie Jin finished speaking, he lifted his official robe and sat down.
Now I have no intention of eating! Li Jinglong said anxiously, tell me quickly!
What are you talking about? Xie Jin’s Qidao, I’m just here to see it, just to be friends! I don’t know anything else!
Li Jinglong said strangely, wasn’t His Highness the Grand Prince asked you to come to see me?
It was me who asked for a handwritten order from the crown prince to see you! Xie Jin corrected his way.
Suddenly, Li Jinglong wilted like an eggplant made from frost.
Then he sat at the dining table, looked at the dishes, and asked bitterly, "Is there no wine?"
Xie Jin looked around again, then took out a silver wine pot from his sleeve and threw it over with a snap.
I can’t bear to drink Shaoxing Huang for twenty years!
Li recorded this love! Li Jinglong drank not wine, but bitterness and loss.
After two sips of wine, Li Jinglong asked again, Xiao Jie, you are the person around the crown prince, what should you do with me? What are you listening to?
I didn't hear it, but...
But what, tell me! Li Jinglong was energetic and grabbed Xie Jin's sleeve directly. Good brother, you help me, I will never thank you. After Li passed this, I... I will go to Yangzhou in person to buy a few pretty girls to give you!
Which one do I want to do? Xie Jin spoke and then blinked his eyes. It was not a woman, but a romantic relationship, but talent!
I understand, I understand! Li Jinglong said anxiously, it must be all about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. When you study, they are full of fragrance, talented men and beautiful women, right!
Xie Jin smiled, we two have been together for so long, so there is no need to be so polite!
As long as you are, as long as you are! Li Jinglong nodded.
Actually, you haven’t understood the taste yet. How to deal with you is not up to the emperor and Your Highness, but by yourself! Xie Jindao.
Li Jinglong think about it, please make it clear!
Look, are you the one who committed the crime? Xie Jin whispered, are you wrong? Although this mistake may not be really big, are you wrong?
Yes Yes! Li Jinglong nodded hurriedly.
Look, you admit your mistakes, why are you still like nothing else? Shouldn’t you submit a complaint for apologizing? Xie Jin said.
Bang, Li Jinglong slapped his forehead and understood.
His crime was because Xu Huizu impeached him and made friends with salt merchants. Those salt merchants were all from King Ning.
Then look, where will I follow? Li Jinglong continued to ask.
The reason why he is temporarily worry-free is because he made friends with King Ning, or the ones of King Ning, who found his door.
If he really sells private salt secretly, can the old man be so polite? It's a guy in the morning!
He also figured it out that he was so at this point that the crown prince punished him.
But he didn't understand now, and he couldn't figure out how the crown prince was going to do this.
