Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 24 Su Xian is here!

Inside the prison.

The ground is not wet, on the contrary, it is very dry. The skylight is to the south, so it can get sunlight from morning to afternoon.

There is no shortage of tables, chairs and benches, and there are thick quilts on the bed.

Before every meal, someone would come with three dishes and one soup. However, three days later, the food was changed again and again, but Su Guiyuan rarely touched it.

Looking at the sun now, it is already afternoon.

"You, the ninth grade inspector of the Hubu government office, have a good life."

"Did the King of Qin and the King of Jin only come here to stay for a few days when they committed crimes? You have seen the top-notch treatment from our own army, and it will not be a loss even if you die."

Su Guiyuan was lying on the bed.

Glazed eyes.

In the past three days, he almost thought over and over what his son said to him. However, he didn't know whether it was because he was stupid or because his son didn't explain it clearly at all.

He couldn't figure it out at all!
  In other words, there is no answer to the "empty seal case for aftermath" in this world.

Yes.

My son is only six years old this year. The reason why he swears so confidently is because in his little mind, some things are right and wrong. "Definitely" occupies everything. The answers to the problems in this world will definitely be found.

But he is already in his thirties, why doesn't he know that there are some problems in the world that will never be answered?

Finished!

Once under that "butcher's knife", he had already had doubts about his previous life.

He even vowed to change.

I want a chance to start all over again.

However, there was no chance at all.

"Let's go. It's the third day. You have sworn and boasted in front of all the officials and the saints. It's time for you to tell me your answer."

"I've been serving you delicious food and drinks these past few days. I don't know how many people don't have this blessing."

“But the greater the ability, the greater the blessing.”

"We brothers are really curious, are you worthy of your name?"

"Get on the road!"

With that said, several people opened the cell door, and Su Guiyuan stood up sluggishly. At the same time, he also used this last moment to think deeply in his mind.

Never give up until the last moment. Sometimes a flash of inspiration in your mind is the best answer.

however.

The time from the yamen of the Qingjun Duwei Mansion to the Wenhua Palace was so fast that Su Guiyuan didn't react yet. When he looked up again, he saw dozens of figures in the palace, all looking at him.

Today's trial of him is not in the Fengtian Hall, which is where hundreds of officials go to court and discuss state affairs.

In fact, the last time Su Guiyuan went there, he wasn't even qualified to step into it.

And now.

Seeing the other party's arrival, most of the people gathered in the Wenhua Hall today were ministers specially invited by the Holy Emperor, with the majority of them from the household department.

"Su Guiyuan, we gave you three days of opportunity. Didn't you say that day that there is a way to achieve both ends of the world? Tell me about it. Everyone present is listening."

Su Guiyuan was stunned and lowered his head.

"What? Didn't you say that in this empty seal case...we indulged in big greed in order to stop petty greed?"

"Don't you mean that you have a good horse that can travel thousands of miles a day and can reach a large scale, or that you have magical means that allow you to get up early in Shanxi and arrive in the capital in the afternoon?"

"Didn't you say that you can give us the answer today?"

"Why are you deaf or mute now?"

Su Guiyuan lowered his head,
  "Back to Your Majesty, the first two sentences... were said by you."

"fart!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the dragon chair. To be honest, looking at Su Guiyuan's appearance, he was not very disappointed.

On the contrary, I am still satisfied.

Because he has long known that this is his method of deception.

"Su Guiyuan, Su Guiyuan, I have to say, you are really brave! We have dealt with so many people over the years, and even if you don't repent when you are about to die, you still scold us!"

"But I have never seen him, who is about to die, use the name of his six-year-old baby to fool the court, the officials, and even us!"

"I will tell you the truth today, haha... I have never believed you. I gave you a chance. It was a chance for you to instruct that poor little kid to write so many so-called heartfelt words in that memorial!"

"But you deceived us again and again, and you even said it was so miraculous that if I gave you a chance, you were deceiving me!"

"What did we say at the beginning? Whatever you eat in the past few days, I will make you into whatever you want!"

Su Guiyuan came quickly.

It seems to be walking fast.

Even when the ministers and officials were looking at each other and didn't react, they were about to be blasted out by Zhu Yuanzhang to deal with it.

however.

After Zhu Yuanzhang issued the order, he found that the soldiers behind him did not move at all.

"Su Guiyuan is deaf, are you deaf too?"

Behind him were the two pro-army captains escorting Su Guiyuan, Qian Hu, who quickly lowered his head and said helplessly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Su Guiyuan hasn't eaten anything in the past three days, and we don't know...should, should." Make something happen."

"Ha!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed angrily, "Are you looking for loopholes in our words from behind?"

"Then take him out and chop him!"

"Yes!"

At this time, Su Guiyuan had already reacted.

Even though I didn’t think of it, I still said what I needed to say.

"Your Majesty, although I am not very qualified and have not figured it out, I have not done anything to deceive Your Majesty."

"That memorial was indeed written by my son. Your Majesty, please read his heart as a father. There are many childish words in it, all of which came from his childish view of the world. He will not be held guilty."

"But what needs to be said is that my son once said: Perhaps the best of both worlds lies in the knowledge of 'grocery shopping'."

"Masters in the court, can you figure out one or two of them?"

What Su Guiyuan said was actually his own inner thoughts.

His son was so sure when he said it, although he guessed that his son didn't know how difficult the world was and talked nonsense.

But at this time, let’s just say everything that can be said. However.

Buying groceries?

As soon as these two words came out, the officials who were still watching the excitement were all stunned.

How did you put the clue here?

Even Zhu Yuanzhang was annoyed and said: "This is the Wenhua Hall, where officials discuss state affairs and hold Buddhist feasts, not a vegetable market."

"If you want to buy groceries, go there in the next life!"

"What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for him to talk nonsense and waste our time?"

"Hurry and pull him out and chop him!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his sleeves, but now he was extremely angry.

To be honest.

Before this, although he didn't want to believe it intellectually, from the bottom of his heart, he still hoped that there would be a truly talented and virtuous person who could sort out the troublesome empty seal case.

However, there was not a single civil and military official in the entire dynasty.

On the contrary, most people still guess that he only thunders but does not rain, so he will give them a good rain, a rain with "people like melons"!
  But at this moment, a memorial finally came out that agreed with him.

How could he be unhappy?
  Most importantly, he even expressed his "real thoughts".

It can be called a confidant!

Who could have imagined the complicated emotions in his heart when he first heard Na Tu Jie read the words in the memorial?

He was even more excited when he saw the words that followed.

Someone can relate to him!
  However, when it became clear that the owner of this memorial was a six-year-old child.

He was disappointed.

This was also the reason why he didn't want to believe that the memorial was written by a child!

This was the reason why he was willing to give Su Guiyuan a chance.

This is still him. In the past few days, people have been staring at the Su family, thinking about the reason why they can really catch this "resonant" person.

But now...

No!

What are you waiting for?
  The vague expectations in my heart completely disappeared.

There is even more anger and resentment!
  He no longer had any scruples, re-planned the case, and everything returned to the original track!
  kill!

……

But at this moment, Su Guiyuan was taken away, feeling calm.

He was not as angry and helpless as the first time.

He tried his best.

He didn't eat or sleep for three days and three nights, but he couldn't figure out the key.

At least he didn't die because of the aggrieved "conscientiousness" and then being implicated in the crime.

Worth it!

Just my wife and children.

His intuition told him that Emperor Hongwu might really not do anything to his wife and children.

After all, in the past three days, he did not arrest his son for questioning because of this memorial.

While thinking about it.

He smiled casually, that's all, that's all...

He had already passed Fengtian Gate and was walking on the road to Meridian Gate. Many high officials of the imperial court had been slaughtered in that area, and even officials of the third rank, whom he once thought were in heaven.

There may be many more in the future.

Not alone either.

This is my son, he may be exiled, but I hope he grows up in peace.

The only regret is that I didn't have the connections to let him go to "Confucian Studies".

Otherwise, with my son's intelligence, he may not be able to serve as an official in the court in the future.

At that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent, and His Royal Highness the Grand Sun should also be tolerant.

The Ming Dynasty is full of wastes waiting to be revived and recuperated.

The officialdom will never kill as indiscriminately as Hongwu.

Thinking of his son like this, he let go more and more.

It's a pity that I didn't get to see my son in the end!

next moment.

Su Guiyuan's steps stopped and his eyes were dull.

Then he looked dumbfounded and looked ahead, as if he was struck by lightning!
  How...how could it be?
  ……

And at the same time.

Not long after Su Guiyuan was taken away.

Inside the Wenhua Hall.

Mao Xiang came in a hurry with a surprised look on his face, "Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head. At the moment, he was feeling sad and resentful as if he had lost his "confidant".

He was even more angry when Mao Xiang interrupted him.

"What's the matter?"

He just asked out loud.

The next moment, Mao Xiang quickly approached Zhu Yuanzhang's ear, bowed, and spoke in a fast and shocked tone.

"Su Xian is here!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was frowning when he suddenly heard this and raised his head suddenly.

"what?"
