The prison, especially the prison in the imperial capital, is called the Heavenly Prison in the outside world, in Liu Xie’s first impression, that is, he is very vigilant, and there should be a gust of cold wind inside. As soon as he enters, there will be all kinds of stench that hits his face, which can make the first time people come here faint.

However, when Liu Xie really set foot here, he realized that he was thinking too much. Maybe it wasn't very good, but it was much cleaner than many of the houses that Liu Xie had seen.

Zhong Yao was locked in a single room, with a bed, a new table and chair, and a pot of sake and a few dishes of side dishes on the table. In addition to being freely bound, other conditions are enough to make other prisoners in this prison jealous.

However, Zhong Yao did look a little depressed. Although Man Chong did not torture him, he had never closed his eyes for three days since he was arrested and imprisoned. As soon as he closed his eyes, Man Chong would send a prison guard to wake him up.

"Your Majesty forgives the crime. This person is too stubborn and has a mountain of iron evidence. He still does not repent. He is because of his humble position, so he has made such a bad decision." Man Chong came to Liu Xie and bowed.

"It's okay." Liu Xie leaned on the back of the chair, glanced at the prison, and stopped looking at it. The world in his eyes was still somewhat different from that in ordinary people's eyes. Although he was not afraid, not every deceased could be as pleasing to the eyes as Mo Xueyuan after his death.

"Since I have handed this over to you, I will not ask any more. As long as I can speak in the court tomorrow, Boning can do whatever he wants." Liu Xie frowned, and the dragon energy around him was washed away. Some people around him came to tease the little ghosts so that they didn't even scream in an instant, and they were melted into nothingness by the mighty dragon energy.

Turning his head and looking at Li Ru who was wrapped in a black robe beside him, Liu Xie said, "Are you sure you can?"

"I am willing to give it a try." Li Ru bowed.

"Put him in, and in addition, remove all the prisoners in the prison from Zhong Yao. No one is allowed to approach before coming out." Liu Xie was finally not ready to see Zhong Yao before the public trial. Since Li Ru was sure to shut up without death, Liu Xie was also happy.

"Here!" Man Chong didn't even look at Li Ru more. He knew very well that this matter was related to Your Majesty's secrets. The less you knew, the better it would be to him.

More than a dozen prisoners were withdrawn from the prison. Occasionally, prisoners were yelled by the prisoners. However, when they were in front of them, they naturally had to show their performance. In the past, they were a bit conscientious, but today, whoever dared to call was just to be unable to match their jobs. At this time, there was no mercy to fight these prisoners.

Zhong Yao is a famous scholar, and his detention is naturally different from other prisoners. It is very quiet. The surrounding prisons have long been cleared, so there is no need to go to martial law now.

A prison guard helped Li Ru open the prison with a flattering smile, and then left quickly at the sign of Li Ru. Zhong Yao was already mentally trapped, and the exquisite dishes in front of him lost their attraction in his eyes. He just wanted to sleep for a while now. Seeing someone coming in, he didn't want to pay attention, but when Li Ru took off his hood, his originally decadent eyes suddenly flickered, and then he became dissipated again. Looking at Li Ru, he shook his head and laughed: "It seems that Your Majesty still relies very much on Wen You. With the strictness of this heavenly prison, Wen You can still be free to enter and exit. Your Majesty's favor to Wen You is not as good as you."

"Your Majesty actually attaches great importance to Yuan Chang." Li Ru sat opposite Zhong Yao and shook his head and sighed: "What a pity, why did Yuan Chang be an enemy of Your Majesty?"

"Yuo didn't know when he had ever been an enemy of Your Majesty?" Zhong Yao looked at Li Ru and sneered: "On the contrary, after Your Majesty reigned in charge of the government, he was quite forced to our scholars."

"In this way, Zhu Ding left the pass and wanted to lead the Hu invaders to invade. The food shortage in Chang'an was famine, but he raised the grain market, which almost caused the starvation of Guanzhong to kill thousands of miles. Now he is secretly investigating Your Majesty, all of which were forced by Your Majesty Yuan Chang?" Li Ru shook his head: "Your Majesty repeatedly tolerated Yuan Chang. Yuan Chang did not want to repay his kindness, but he became more and more powerful, but Ru didn't know why?"

"You just want Your Majesty to understand a truth in these things." Zhong Yao sneered.

"I hope to hear the details." Li Ru looked at Zhong Yao: "If there is any reason, Ru will wait for Yuan Chang to convey to Your Majesty."

"You don't need to convey it, you will know the truth in the court tomorrow." Zhong Yao sneered.

"The Yuan Chang's news is really well-versed." Li Ru looked at Zhong Yao with a smile and said, "Yuan Chang had never thought that he could not get out of this prison?"

"Since Your Majesty has agreed to the public trial tomorrow, and going back on his word will only disappoint the ministers and lose the hearts of the people. Even if Your Majesty really has this intention, I will stop it." Zhong Yao sneered.

"Why is Yuan Chang so sure?" Li Ru laughed.

"I watched you enter Luoyang back then." Zhong Yao looked at Li Ru and said with some regret: "I only saw Wen You as a talented person in my life. I also had a pity for talent at the beginning and paid much attention to Wen You."

"Oh? Ru also wants to know, how Yuan Chang sees me?" Li Ru smiled.

"People only think that Li Ru is vicious, but they don't know that Li Ru is a loyal man." A memory flashed in Zhong Yao's eyes: "When Dong Zhuo was grateful to Wen You, Wen You swear to repay him to death. If Dong Zhuo's traitor can take that step, Wen You later made suggestions, but he can do his best. Even if the prince's master later killed Dong Zhuo by a discord, Wen You never had two thoughts for a moment. Now that your Majesty has re-created your kindness to you, and he regards you as a confidant. With Wen You's temperament, he may have already developed a desire to die. Now that the court is booming, how can Wen You watch the half-work of hard work be spent?"

"Since that's the case, why did Yuan Chang push against each other?" Li Ru said inexplicably: "Ru is loyal to Your Majesty, and Yuan Chang is also loyal to Your Majesty. Although the identity of Confucianism is not easy to be made public, you should be the same. Why did you and I have to force Your Majesty to be cruel? Yuan Chang knows that Your Majesty admires Yuan Chang's talent. If it weren't for Yuan Chang's excessive this time, Your Majesty would not have used this method."

"No, you and I are different." Zhong Yao looked at Li Ru, shook his head and said decisively: "Wenyou knows who is the world?"

"All the world is the king's land, and the shores of the land is the king's minister. This world is naturally the world of Your Majesty." Li Ru frowned, knowing what Zhong Yao wanted to say, but he didn't know whether he should stop it.

"Wrong!" Zhong Yao looked at Li Ru: "Although the world belongs to Your Majesty, the emperor can change the world. Even if you say something disrespectful, the dynasty can also change it. However, some things are eternal and unchanging."

"Scholar?" Li Ru looked at Zhong Yao, and a coldness flashed in his eyes.

"Yes, there is no emperor in this world, but no scholars!" Zhong Yao stood up and said excitedly: "How can the emperor sit in the court, how can he know the affairs of the world? If there is no scholar governing the world for Your Majesty, how can the world be peaceful? How can the people be peaceful?"

"Yes!" Zhong Yao's voice gradually became colder: "Since Your Majesty regained the government, he has issued a general order to enhance the status of warriors. Have you ever thought about conquering the world for decades. However, since Emperor Gaozu established the Han Dynasty, for four hundred years, our scholars have been making suggestions for the Han Dynasty. Then Your Majesty even promoted the rule of law, trying to weaken the power of our aristocratic family several times. He has ever thought about where to call for talent to do it?"

If Zhong Yao's mood was usually not as bright as Li Ru's words, he would not have evoked all his thoughts in his heart. However, at this time, Zhong Yao had been tortured by the plump for three days and three nights, and had never slept for a moment. His spirit was the most exhausting time. At this time, Li Ru had a little point in the topic and could not help but say what he thought in his heart.

"Wenyou only said how you made things difficult for Your Majesty. Have you ever thought about how Your Majesty made things difficult for Your Majesty before? You have done all these previous actions, but I just hope that Your Majesty can understand that there are all scholars in the world. As for Wenyou's affairs, I also hope that Your Majesty can understand that the only ones Your Majesty can rely on are our scholars!"

Even with Li Ru's nature, he felt a little cold when he heard it, not only because of Zhong Yao's words, but also because there were definitely not only the one in front of him who had such thoughts. Zhong Yao was just a typical example. There were too many people in Chang'an City and even the whole world.

"The Confucians are here, but I hope that when Yuan Chang's public trial tomorrow, he can forget about Confucians." Li Ru relaxed his mood and looked at Zhong Yao and said.

"Wenyou thought, Yao would agree?" Zhong Yao sneered.

"Yes!" Li Ru put a bloody box in front of Zhong Yao: "Ru believes that Yuan Chang is not a saint, and the affairs of the scholars in the world should not be only about Yuan Chang."

"What is this?" Zhong Yao narrowed his eyes and looked at the brocade box in front of him, but did not open it. He believed that with Li Ru's IQ, he would not think that he could bribe him, and the bloody smell that spread out in the brocade box was probably nothing to do with bribery.

"Yuan Chang should be familiar with him, so why not open it and take a look." Li Ru said with a smile.

Zhong Yao looked at the brocade box in front of him and felt a little hesitant. Li Ru's confident expression made Zhong Yao believe that the things in the brocade box would definitely not be ordinary and might even shake his mind.

"It's mysterious!" In the end, Zhong Yao couldn't help it, and reached out to open the brocade box, and his eyes suddenly became dull.

In the brocade box, there was a piece of arms, which was extremely pale, but Zhong Yao still recognized that the slightly tender arm was still very familiar even though it had lost all its blood.

A pain in his heart, Zhong Yao felt that his whole scalp was about to explode. He slapped the table and suddenly stood up, pointing at Li Rudao: "You dare!"

"Why is Yuan Chang so angry?" Li Ru looked at Zhong Yao with confusion: "Yuan Chang is planning to take Ru's life, have you ever thought about my situation? Now that I am here to fight back, Yuan Chang wants to see me with such a vicious attitude? Why?"

Zhong Yao felt that he was stuck in his mouth in one breath, but he couldn't vent his anger. His eyes glared at Li Ru were even colder, and he said in a stern manner: "The disaster is not as good as his wife and children."

"I know, but I don't. Yuan Chang killed me, just kill my family, and I am the Li family!" Li Ru stood up, patted the dust on his body and walked out, and his voice wrapped around Zhong Yao's ears like a demonic sound.

"If Ru really deserves this fate, then I will admit it. Li Ru has died once, and life and death have long been light on it, but he wants to invite the Zhong family to be buried with the Confucian family. Yuan Chang should be clear about some things that Your Majesty cannot do, but Confucian can do it."

The footsteps had gone away, but the sound seemed to be left in Zhong Yao's ears, impacting his mind again and again.
