Chapter 598 Confession
Seeing the emperor looking obsessively at the birdcage in his hand, Zhang Zhenren knew that he didn't need to say it, he already believed his own words.

There was a sense of success in Zhang Zhenren's eyes, and he said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this bird is a call of auspiciousness, which indicates that there will be great joy in Da Yue. Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor."

Without Zhang Zhenren, the emperor also knew that since ancient times, the auspiciousness was the place where the emperor of the ages was. Now that he is in power, such a bird of auspiciousness can appear, so why don't he make himself happy.

Dazzled by the excitement, the emperor clapped his hands and said, "Okay, auspicious, God bless Da Yue."

Soon, the news of the emperor's saccharine bird spread, and the civil and military people in the court were discussing it. Some people were happy about it, and some people questioned it. Words of praise, praise the emperor, praise Dai Viet.

The emperor was in a very good mood, and he was much more active than usual when dealing with the memorial.

Seeing the long-lost smile on the emperor's face, the eunuchs in the imperial study finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The emperor was reviewing the memorial, and he didn't know what he saw. The smile on his face sank suddenly, and the heart of the eunuch who was waiting on the side suddenly lifted up. This, why did this face sink again? , Could it be that someone said something again, which made the emperor angry.

While everyone was still guessing, the emperor threw the memorial in his hand aside, sighed, and said, "Come here."

An old eunuch stepped forward and waited for orders: "What is the emperor's order?"

The emperor looked at the old eunuch, let out a hi, and said, "Go to the prison and bring Duanmu Xu."

Hearing the three words Duan Muxu, the old eunuch said it, and looked at the emperor's face. His face was nothing, and he couldn't tell if he was angry or angry.

After deliberating for a while, the old eunuch didn't say anything, said yes, and then withdrew, and asked Duanmu Xu to be brought out from the prison.

Duanmuxu has been in the sky prison for more than a month. Since someone sent him a message last time, but there has been no news for a long time. He is almost disappointed. Today, someone suddenly came to the sky prison and wanted to take him there. See the emperor.

Duanmu Xu was ecstatic, he had a hunch that as long as he passed the emperor's level, he would be able to save himself from danger.

Sitting in the hall, the emperor watched Duan Muxu being brought in. He hadn't seen him for more than a month. Seeing his haggard face and thin figure, it seemed that he had suffered a lot in prison.

Duan Muxu walked in, knelt down in front of the emperor, kowtowed and said: "The sinner pays homage to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Duan Muxu kowtowed to the emperor, the emperor saw it and said, "No."

Hearing this, Duan Muxu raised his head and looked at the emperor, with tears in his eyes, wanting to cry but not daring to cry, his aggrieved appearance, coupled with his description, the people who watched could not bear it.

The emperor looked at Duanmu Xu's appearance, and said a little unbearably: "These days, you stay in the sky prison, but you know your mistake?"

Duan Muxu was stunned for a moment, and immediately burst into tears again, and said: "Father, my son actually knew his mistake a long time ago. Ever since the fifteenth younger brother was abolished, my son has regretted it too much. My father doesn't know about it." , Erchen wanted to stop a long time ago, but as in this deep pool, there is no way to turn back."

After finishing speaking, Duanmu Xu burst into tears, kowtowed to the emperor again, and said: "Father, I know that I have committed a serious crime, so I dare not ask Father to forgive me, but I beg Father to give my son another chance, let my son I have a chance for redemption."

Hearing Duanmuxu's words, the emperor looked at him with emotion on his face. He didn't know if Duanmuxu really admitted his mistake, but seeing his miserable appearance, it was impossible to hate him. After all, it was his own. Son, a tiger does not eat its child, how could I have the heart to treat him like this?
After slightly sighing, the emperor said: "Today someone asked me to execute you as a warning to everyone else. I couldn't bear it. You are my son after all, but I don't know. How could you be so foolish to do such a thing and resell it?" What a crime it is, don't you know in your heart?"

Duanmu Xu cried again: "Father, my son didn't want to. Father didn't know about it. From the very beginning, my son didn't want to resell private salt willingly, but was dragged into the water, and he couldn't turn back. It is."

The emperor frowned, looked at Duanmu Xu and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Duan Muxu wiped his tears with the back of his hand, and said: "At the beginning, my son was also confused and believed the words of the fifteenth younger brother. He said that he wanted to invest money in business. I always trusted him, so I gave him all the gold and silver. I let him take care of it. I never thought that he was actually using it to resell private salt. By the time my son found out, it was too late and he wanted to stop, but the fifteenth brother threatened him that if he didn't cooperate, he would Get rid of the son, how dare the son say that again, he can only watch himself getting deeper and deeper, but there is no way out."

Hearing Duanmuxu's words, the emperor frowned, his expression couldn't tell whether he believed it or not, he just looked at Duanmuxu for a long time, and then said: "You should turn around sooner."

Duanmu Xu just cheered, and said in shame: "It's my minister's incompetence, whether he trusted a villain or went astray, and disappointed Father, it's my son's fault, please punish Father."

The emperor looked at Duanmu Xu, saw the tears on his face, and said that a man would not shed tears lightly, and now that he was in such pain in front of him, he really regretted it.

The emperor thought for a long time before finally speaking, "You want to go back."

Duan Muxu looked up at the emperor, his eyes were full of doubts, is that it?Why don't you say let yourself go?
A little disappointed in his heart, Duanmu Xu's eyes were dim, but he still kowtowed to the emperor, saying: "Thank you, father."

The emperor thanked him, knit his brows with his hands, and said very tiredly: "Now that I have the holy bird, the heavens have the virtue of good life. It seems that I have the will of the heavens to amnesty the world."

Duan Muxu didn't realize what he said, and he didn't wake up until he left the imperial study room. He gasped, and suddenly understood something, but he couldn't help himself. It turned out that the man was telling the truth, and he could still have a bright future.

Within two days, the emperor really issued a decree of amnesty for the world, and countless prisoners were released because of this decree, including Duanmu Xu.

When Duanmu Xu was released, many people were very surprised, especially the eldest princess, she was not only surprised, but also angry.

She never thought that after working so hard for so long, she would fall short in success. She was so angry that she vomited blood and fainted in public.
