Great Han Arrow God

Chapter 461
The prisons in the Han Dynasty were famous for their variety. In Weiyang Palace alone, there were Yeting Prison, Violent Room Prison, and Yongxiang Prison.These prison cells are mainly used to hold prisoners in the palace, and Yeting Prison is no exception.

Yan Zhu and Zhu Maichen were officials of the inner court—although the inner court was still in its infancy at this time—the emperor didn't want them to fall into the hands of the ministers of the outer court and slapped himself, so he imprisoned them in the Yeting Prison in the palace.

Till now, Prime Minister Tian Fu didn't know that the two had been imprisoned by the emperor.

Yan Zhu and Zhu Maichen were in the palace most of the time, Ye Ting came to Ye Ting frequently, and Ye Ting Prison was no stranger.But when they themselves were kept as prisoners, they were still very uncomfortable and lived like years.

Hearing footsteps outside, Yan Zhu raised a glimmer of hope.The Son of Heaven finally came to see them.He has been waiting for this day.The emperor didn't kill them directly, nor did he hand them over to the prime minister, Tian Fu. He guessed the emperor's intentions and kept thinking about how to plead guilty so that the emperor could forgive them.Now, he has already thought up his rhetoric, which will definitely impress the emperor.

Yan Zhu turned over and knelt in the messy dry grass, knocking on the ground with his forehead, especially when a tall figure appeared outside the fence, covering him completely, he knocked louder, with a loud bang, even with Got some rhythm.

The sweet dream dissipated when Han Yan's laughter sounded.Hearing this familiar laughter, Yan Zhu was stunned, his whole body froze, and then the blood welled up, his face was flushed red, and he almost burst into anger.

How dare Han Yan laugh at me?Yan Zhu raised his head slowly.When Han Yan's smiling face appeared in front of him, but the figure of the Son of Heaven was nowhere to be found, his heart began to sink, and the hot blood that rushed to his head gradually became cold, cold to the bone, and desperately cold.

Yan Zhu sat down on the ground with empty eyes.

Han Yan hooked her fingers.Someone opened the prison door, put a long case in the prison room, and piled it full of food and drink, and then brought over Zhu Maichen who was separately detained.Looking at the mountains of food, Yan Zhu and Zhu Maichen felt bitter in their mouths, without any appetite.

"Do you know what Chang'an is spreading recently?" Han Yan's mouth twitched slightly. "Jiangdu King Liu Jian not only raped his father and concubine, but also raped his younger sister, corrupting human relations and making him inferior to animals. It is simply a disgrace to the clan."

"Slander!" Yan Zhu retorted with a pale face. "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is aimed at Peigong. They slandered the king of Jiangdu is false, but attacking the emperor is true."

"Slander?" Han Yan raised her eyebrows. "You mean Zhang Tang corrupted you?"

"Zhang Tang? This swordsman, he has always been jealous of me." When Yan Zhu heard Zhang Tang's name, he suddenly felt hopeful.Zhang Tang is the prime minister's history, and the emperor has always suppressed the prime minister's mansion, how could it be possible for a prime minister's history to overthrow him.Even if it is true, what Zhang Tang found out cannot be believed. "This is Prime Minister Tian Fu..."

Han Yan laughed out loud. "But Liu Zhengchen has already admitted it."

Yan Zhu was speechless for a moment.Liu Zhengchen has already admitted it, and that is the iron case.

"You two, don't waste your energy in vain." Han Yan folded her hands in her sleeves and looked down at Yan Zhu and Zhu Maichen from a high position, with an indescribable satisfaction on her face. "You should be grateful for the grace of the saints. Without family punishment, it is already a reward for your past achievements."

He paused, the smile faded away, and became a little more stern. "However, if you are unwilling to show His Majesty a little face, then His Majesty has no choice but to be ruthless and use thunderous means."

Yan Zhu and Zhu Maichen looked at each other and couldn't help crying.They understood that their biggest crime was not accepting bribes, not framing Liang Xiao, but hurting the emperor's face.To say a thousand words and ten thousand, he still has no eyesight, and actually cooperated with a beast like Liu Jian, and ended up cheating himself.

Zhu Maichen cried for a while, then woke up suddenly.He pushed Yansuke away, jumped to the fence, and stretched his hands out of the fence. "Han Shizhong, I am wronged. These things have nothing to do with me. I don't know anything about them. They are all Yan Zhu's conspiracy. I..."

Yan Zhu turned pale with shock, and looked at Zhu Maichen in disbelief. "you……"

"What happened to me?" Zhu Maichen scolded angrily, "I don't know how you colluded with Liu Jian. You deserved what you did, but I was deceived by you. How can I be guilty of the same crime? Han Shizhong, I want to write a letter to the emperor, and I want to expose it. Liu Jian..."

Yan Zhu was furious, rushed over, grabbed Zhu Maichen and beat him. "You ungrateful bastard, how dare you do that. I'll kill you today!"

Zhu Maichen did not show any weakness, and fought back with all his strength.The two former friends fought in the prison cell, the case was overturned, and the food and drink on it were scattered all over the floor.The jailers were about to rush in, but Han Yan stopped them with a look of contempt.

"Let them fight. Before dying, it's good to let off steam. You will not be lonely on the road to Huangquan."

In the Jiaofang Palace, Empress Chen was very happy, like a butterfly wearing flowers, directing the ladies in the palace to arrange the banquet.

Although it is already late at night, when the emperor is here, he must have a drink to help the elegant spirit and add some fun.Although heavy relatives are not only difficult to conceive, but also have a high proportion of dementia children, Empress Chen still did not stop thinking about it.

Difficult, not impossible.Dementia is not good, but it is better than nothing, right?

The only worry is that the emperor will not come.In the past, the Son of Heaven occasionally came to visit Jiaofang Palace, but after Liu Ling released the research report, he came even less often, so he could not let Empress Chen suffer in vain.

This is the only place Empress Chen regrets.Sai Weng got a horse, how could he know that it was not a disaster.The queen's position is preserved, but the emperor's heart is far away.I am in Jiaofang Palace, but my heart is like being in Beigong (the place where empresses were relegated in the Han Dynasty).
Just when she was hopeless, the emperor came and gave her an unexpected surprise, and she couldn't help but feel a little out of control.

In the past, when the emperor came, she thought it was right, and she was somewhat embarrassed.Now that the emperor came, it was a real gift, so she couldn't help but not care about flattery.

Looking at the uncharacteristically humble queen, the emperor was a little dazed. He always felt that the woman in front of him was not Chen Ajiao, who was always proud, but Wei Zifu, who always felt inferior.

The two chatted a few words, and the emperor calmly changed the topic to the recent activities of the Chen brothers.

Although he said it in a secretive way, Empress Chen has been waiting for him for a long time.For the Chen brothers, spending a lot of money to hire craftsmen to study metallurgy is just a cover to make money, and the purpose is to please the emperor.Whether this plan can be successful depends on the emperor's reaction in the end.

So when the emperor mentioned it, Empress Chen was immediately elated.Liu Ling is indeed a female middle school Liangping, who knows the emperor's mind clearly.

"We spent some money, hired some people, and are still working on it." Empress Chen pretended to be indifferent. "There hasn't been any substantial progress right now, but it's worth letting them know that learning is not easy."

The emperor is very curious. "What do you mean by that?"

Empress Chen chuckled, picked up a glass of wine, and brought it to the emperor's mouth with both hands. "Your Majesty, don't you know that my two elder brothers have nothing to do since they were young, and their learning of literature is limited to literacy, and they only know how to fight when they learn martial arts? He is talented and talented. Now he is working with blacksmiths every day to forge iron and sharpen swords, only then did he know that such a seemingly ordinary sword takes so much effort, and finally he is a little in awe."

The emperor nodded frequently. "Then do they regret it now?"

"I have regretted it a long time ago." Empress Chen covered her lips and smiled, "However, Grandma said that for a period of one year, whoever forges the sharpest sword first will be rewarded heavily, and the loser will lose a month's money. Half. If they want to continue to be comfortable, they have to persevere.”

The emperor also laughed. "So, my aunt not only has to pay for hiring people and buying raw materials, but also pays for rewards. Isn't it too expensive?"

"It's a lot of money. But then again, how can true knowledge be easily obtained? Everyone has seen Huainan Weng's investment in money on the Lord's Day, but who can see her previous investment?"

"That's true." The emperor couldn't help laughing when he thought of the past. "Back then, in order to buy the double-faced brocade technology, Liang Xiao took a thousand gold from her. Fortunately, Liang Xiao not only took back the double-faced brocade, but even kidnapped her. The king of Huainan is at a loss."

"Hehehe..." Seeing that the emperor said something interesting, Empress Chen couldn't help laughing, the flowers trembled with laughter, and her eyebrows and eyes were bright.The emperor was fascinated by it for a while.Empress Chen was happy, nudged the emperor, and said angrily, "Your Majesty, why do you look at people like this."

The emperor came back to his senses, and said with a concealed smile: "Oh, it's nothing. Well... let me give you an idea. You can ask Liang Xiao about forging iron. He has obtained some treasured swords in the Western Regions, and found one A craftsman who is good at smelting iron. Ask him, maybe you can invent something, and you can avoid some detours."

"That's great. I'll send someone to inform Grandma tomorrow." Empress Chen was so excited that she came over and kissed the emperor on the face. She blushed, lowered her eyebrows, and glanced at the emperor. "Then how can I thank Your Majesty?"

"When your elder brother forges a high-quality sword and presents it to the court, it will be the greatest gratitude. Now..." The emperor stretched out his hand and pulled Empress Chen over, hugging him in his arms, and his hands became irregular. "You give me an idea to punish Liang Xiao."

Empress Chen held the hand of the Son of Heaven, her face was red and her ears were hot, and she wondered, "Punish Liang Xiao? Why do you want to punish him?"

The emperor raised his eyebrows, showing a bit of displeasure. "It's probably because wealth comes too easily, and he doesn't want to make progress at a young age. Do you know what he's busy with now? He's busy growing vegetables. Listen, what's going on? What a villain, what a villain. "

Empress Chen rolled her eyes, turned around, and sat in the arms of the emperor. "Your Majesty, even though Fan Chi is called a villain by the sage, he is also a disciple of the sage, 72 sages. In addition to asking questions, he also asks about benevolence, distinguishes doubts, and is quite brave. It is better than only reading books." Your Majesty, Liang Xiao wants to grow vegetables like Fan Chi, so you let him grow vegetables?"

"What else can I do if I don't let him grow vegetables?" The emperor was a little annoyed. "If he wants to be an official, I don't have to let him be an official. If he doesn't want to be an official, can I still force him to be an official? Even Emperor Gao has Shangshan Sihao who can't be hired."
