Chapter 244 It's Really Not Worth It

Emperor Yuande also realized that he had lost his composure just now, so he sat down on the dragon throne for a while before finally giving the order.

Generally speaking, people from the capital yamen and public security were asked to go and find the old beggar, and asked to treat him as polite as possible after discovering him. As for the original Taishi Si Tianjian, the old emperor did not mention him again in the end.

Afterwards, Emperor Yuande felt physically and mentally exhausted, and had no interest in staying in the hall. He said to the old eunuch beside him with a little depressed expression, "Retreat the court", and stood up first.

"Retreat the Court"

After the old eunuch proclaimed the imperial edict, he quickly followed the emperor. In his condition, he was really afraid that he would fall.

After the emperor left, all the court officials were talking about it. The mages also looked at each other. The position of "Tianshi" that should have been enthroned today has not been put into practice, and I don't know what will happen later.

Anyway, no one raised his opinions. Officials of the Ministry of Rites and those last-rate scholars who were counting on the position of "Tianshi".

It doesn't matter if the mages have some real skills, or they are also surprised by the old beggar's resurrection. After all, the old beggar had no intention of being an mortal before, and almost all of them thought that this was a liar. In this way, it seemed that he was definitely an unfathomable master of Taoism.

"Mr. Lu, do you think that old beggar is really a god?"

"This is not clear. Humph, the evil words confuse the crowd."

"Mr. Xiao, what do you think about this situation?"

"What do you see?"

"Why didn't the emperor let go of Lord Yan Chang?"

"Why……"

Some court officials shook their heads or sighed, and left the hall one after another.

The four front guards of the hall were still kneeling in the hall as if they had been forgotten by everyone.

King Jin walked a few steps slowly and looked at the four of them. Seeing that the people in the hall were dispersing, his elder brother had already left. After hesitating for a while, hesitating, he finally spoke to the four.

"You guys go down too, my father won't blame you."

"Thank you, Your Highness, King Jin! Thank you, Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, King Jin!"

Several palace guards stood up and saluted to King Yang Hao of Jin gratefully. Only then did they really breathe a sigh of relief, and they realized that they should have no worries about their lives.

This is like a tiger, and today they have deeply felt it...

In the prison of the Ministry of Justice, Yan Chang did not suffer much abuse and was detained in a relatively clean cell with a brick bed with some straw poles on it, a mat and a low table.

Yan Chang was taken out of the government and put on his prison uniform. He sat on the bed with his back against the wall, and he also had a declining expression.

"Oh... the right and wrong are in the hearts of people, but I'm sorry that the emperor has no kindness... Haha, I can't say that my words are always in the hearts of many people, I'm already a slander..."

Calculate the time, the old beggar should have been beheaded.

Let’s say you’re complaining about the old beggar, but you really want to hate him. After thinking about it carefully, it seems that it was the old beggar he recommended, and then it caused the other party a disaster of killing...

"Why……"

After being imprisoned for a whole morning, Yan Chang didn't know how many times he sighed.

Among the low table lamps on the bed, the candle was burned to a point of melting. It was not dark yet, and the prison was dark and I don’t know what it would be like tonight.

I looked up again to see the layout of the cell. Apart from the iron-wood railings in front, there were not even windows at the back and left and right. It was impossible to see the stars at night.

Two jailmen with swordsman patrols from the depths of the prison and went through the prison where they were.

The prison guard still had a deep impression of Yan Chang. After all, he was personally escorted to the Heavenly Prison by the guards in the palace. There was only one possibility that he was directly punished by the emperor when he was in court. In recent years, this was often a censor.

Seeing that Yan Chang was still in a daze, the jailer stopped and asked.

"Is this adult who worked in the Ministry of Education before?"

I often look at them. As the saying goes, I would rather provoke the prime minister than recruit jailers. Now I need to look at the face of the guards of the prison, so I reluctantly raised my spirit and replied with a wry smile.

"I am not an official from the Ministry of Menxia Province. I am originally the supervisor of Taishishi Tianjian."

"Si Tianjian? Oh, is the Lord of the Imperial Heavenly Supervisor who determines the calendar?"

One of the jailers thought for a while and suddenly said.

Yan Chang was not in the mood to agree, just nodded.

The other jailer was also very curious.

"This is new. Our Ministry of Justice prison has detained many former high-ranking officials, but it is the first time that people from Sitianjian come in, especially the Imperial Heavenly Prison!

"Well, you said that, it seems to be true!"

The two prison guards felt very fresh. Normally, the Imperial Heaven Prison basically couldn't hide in the muddy waters in the court, and there was a little gossip in their minds.

"That Lord Imperial Heavenly Prison, what did you commit? What crime did the emperor convict?"

Anyway, I am idle, and I don’t know if I can live or how long it takes to live. I often go through a morning of decadence, and when I talk to others, I feel a little bit straight.

"Do you know the water and land fair held in Beijing?"

"How can you not know? The whole capital is circulating."

Yan Chang showed a smile that was even worse than crying.

"The Water and Land Dharma Assembly is mainly responsible for the Tianjian and some officials of the Ministry of Rites of our company. They need to supervise and select some mages for the emperor and be awarded the position of Tianshi. My troubles will also come from now on..."

Yan Chang slowly said, and described the circumstances of why he was guilty. There was nothing that could not be said. There were actually records in the Tianzhuo Book, but it was relatively brief.

After listening to the words, the two jailers looked at each other in surprise.

"This old beggar is too brave. He feels that he wants to die by himself when he says such words in the face of the emperor..."

"Someone is here."

Before one of the prison guards finished speaking, the other looked outside. The two bowed to Yan Chang and walked out quickly.

About half a cup of tea, an unrecognized prison guard led an old eunuch to Yan Chang's cell.

When Yan Chang saw that he was immediately excited, he felt a little excited, but he didn't know what to say.

The jailer untied the key ring on his waist, picked out a lock of the cell and opened it, then pushed open the door and reached out to guide him.

"Please, father-in-law!"

When the old eunuch walked into the cell, the jailer locked the door again.

Yan Chang came to his senses at this time and found that the old eunuch was holding something like a food box in his hand. He hurriedly got off the bed and bowed to salute.

"Eunuch Li, why are you here?"

The old eunuch placed the food box on the bed and respectfully bowed to Yan Chang.

"Lord Yan hasn't used lunch yet. These are the dishes given by the emperor. They are all from the chefs of the imperial kitchen. Please try it while it's hot."

While speaking, the old eunuch opened the food box and took out the dishes as the aroma of the meal drifted away.

Yan Chang looked at these dishes in a daze. The dishes were exquisite, with fish and meat. Seeing that the dishes were brought out, Yan Chang's face became increasingly ugly and paler. When the old eunuch took out the wine, Yan Chang's face was already deserted.

‘The emperor is going to kill me…’

Although Yan Chang rarely deals with people from the Ministry of Justice, he has heard a rumor that angered officials who have not yet been convicted and suddenly ate extremely rich dishes such as big fish and meat, most of which are cut off-head rice.

"Sir Yan, Lord Yan? You have a bad face. Do you want to pass on the imperial physician?"

"Eunuch Li... Is the emperor going to kill me?"

The old eunuch looked at the dish and suddenly realized it and shook his head laughing and crying.

"Mr. Yan misunderstood. This is the emperor who was afraid that the emperor would eat poorly in the heavenly prison, so he specially gave him lunch. It has no other intention. The officials of the Si Tianjian and the rituals from the Ministry of Rites all went to the imperial study room to plead for you, Lord. Yan..."

Yan Chang felt a little unreal when he heard this passage.

‘They are so good? No, they dare to do this?’

When the old eunuch said this, he sighed before continuing to speak.

"In fact, something happened after Lord Yan was pushed into the prison..."...

In the Qingye Building, a teahouse in Gyeonggi Prefecture, there were Jiyuan and an old beggar sitting in the private room on the second floor, as well as the little beggar who ran over there afterwards. There were a pot of hot tea on the indoor table, and a total of six plates of pastries and preserved fruits.

"Oh, so Mr. Lu won't accept this disciple?"

Jiyuan has just finished listening to some things in the Nine Heavens and Ten Meetings, as well as the cause and effect in the court this morning.

"I've died once, whoever accepts the fool!"

The old beggar stuffed two pieces of pastries into his mouth and said hummingly. At the same time, the little beggar took a piece of snack and poured water for the old beggar.

"Grandpa Lu, what about Lord Yan?"

"He? Don't worry, as long as you don't make a fool of yourself, he will be fine. Now you should worry about your grandpa Lu, me."

The little beggar who had stuffed pastries into his mouth was shocked when he heard this and ran to the old beggar nervously to touch and take a look.

"Ah? Grandpa Lu, are you injured? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

"No, no...I'm not referring to this, I'm referring to Mr. Ji Da in front of us..."

The old beggar smiled and looked at the fate of drinking tea and listening as usual.

"Old beggar, I tested Emperor Dazhen this time. Maybe it was a taboo of Mr. Ji. This is much more dangerous than in front of the swordsman in the palace! If there are some choices, the old beggar wouldn't want to drink this tea..."

"ah?"

The little beggar looked at the always gentle plot, and then looked at the old beggar, but saw that Grandpa Lu had a rare serious expression.

"Mr. Lu's move will inevitably cause some turmoil to the Dazhen court and the country..."

Jiyuan put down the teacup, pulled a trace of tea to the table, and then dipped the index finger into water and wrote the word "天" in it.

"But Mr. Lu misunderstood. Dazhen has his own aura. He has to take care of the evil and evil people's troubles. The things that the old man does are not against his will and does not violate the truth, which is even more an opportunity for the emperor. Ji Mou can't say anything, as long as you think it's worth it."

“Hey…it’s a bit unworthy…”
