"That's great, thank you, Brother Zilu." Datong held Zilu's shoulders.
"Will this bring you trouble? If you insist on seeing the emperor without the emperor's will, will you be punished for the crime of deceiving the emperor..." Datong suddenly thought of this. He didn't want to implicate Zilu, who had already helped him a lot.
.
"Don't worry, I have my own way to deal with it. At most, give me some punishment. Without me, who will be the Minister of War of the great dynasty? He still can't let me go, and he still relies on me for some things." Zilu knew very well.
one's own status and identity.
"It's you, it's very risky to rush to see him this time..." Zilu said.
Mr. Zhang and others all nodded in agreement. Tian Datong risked his life this time...
In the afternoon, Tian Datong and Zilu rode horses outside the palace.
At this time, the emperor was resting alone. The eunuch didn't know Tian Datong, but when he saw that it was the Minister of War who had brought him, he was naturally not just waiting around, so he went to inform the emperor.
When the young prince and Datong entered the palace, the emperor saw two people.
"Isn't this the number one scholar?" The emperor recognized it.
"Long live your Majesty, Tian Datong is willing to accept any punishment for your presumptuous visit." Tian Datong immediately knelt down and spoke before Zilu could speak.
"What's the matter with you?" the emperor asked casually while reading the memorial.
"I am here for my beloved wife Bai Haitang. I know that my wife has committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. I do not ask for forgiveness from the emperor, but I ask that I be allowed to take my place in my wife, put me in a prison, and let her go home."
Tian Datong vowed and had made up his mind.
Zilu was surprised after hearing this.
I thought Datong had something to say or something else that could convince the emperor to let Haitang go. Unexpectedly, he, he actually wanted to replace her and give her freedom...
Zilu knew that he would not do this for any woman if it were him. Maybe it was because of this that he did not have a woman like Haitang by his side.
Datong, he is worth it.
"You mean you want to replace Bai Haitang?" the emperor asked.
"Yes, your majesty, I hope your majesty will make it happen." Tian Da agreed without hesitation.
"You are the number one scholar of our great dynasty. Is it worth it for a mere woman? Did you know that Bai Haitang will be torn to pieces in a short time? The crime of deceiving the emperor must be a capital crime!" the emperor said.
"No matter what crime Haitang committed, no matter what the punishment, I, Tian Datong, will be willing to die for her." Tian Datong has no hesitation.
The emperor was astonished, Zilu was astonished...
If there were other people present, he would be even more surprised. He doesn't want the princess, he doesn't want fame and wealth, but he wants death...
"The title of No. 1 Scholar is what I regret most in my life. If it weren't for it, our family would not be separated," Datong said.
"Are you saying that serving the imperial court is a stupid thing?" the emperor asked unhappily.
"I wanted to serve the imperial court, but the imperial court did not give me this opportunity. Instead, I was put under house arrest in the Prince's Mansion and asked to be a county groom. It was a pity that I was full of passion and it was a pity that my well-read poems and books were replaced by
Who wouldn't be disappointed..." Datong knew that he had no way out anyway, so it didn't hurt to say a few more words to offend him, since he only had one life anyway!
"You are showing contempt for the imperial court!" The emperor threw away the memorial.
"If the emperor won't let my wife go, then she and I will be thrown into the sky prison together. We just want to die at the same time. That's fine! In the next life, we will meet a wise king serving the court!" Datong was not afraid at all.
