Chapter 1218 Amnesty

The emperor thought about it for a while, but he didn't bother much. He nodded, and then asked: "You still let Feng Shangshu and the others help you to intercede?"

The crown prince frowned, "No, I just told the royal father what to do with them?"

The emperor pondered, "Then who were they looking for?"

The next day the emperor knew who was looking for them. There was no way. Bai Shan's story was too exciting. What's more, he went back and discussed it with Manbao Bai Erlang. The fake mixed in and said that the classmates and their families in the Guozi Academy didn't want it.

Even people like Feng Shangshu were a little obsessed with the story after hearing the story from his grandson, and even took time to go to Tianjing to look at Mingxue.

Good stories always spread faster, especially in places with a strong academic atmosphere like Guozixue.

Everyone communicated after class and got together after school, so it was passed from Guozixue to the Taixue next door, and then to the four schools next door.

At the same time, brothers and sisters at home were also very interested, and the reunion of sisters and sisters spread in the back house.

The next day Yin Lichao took this as a small talk and told the emperor about it.

As Jing Zhaoyin, in addition to the gossip about his family, he would "gossip" with the emperor for some anecdotes or matters involving ministers in the capital.

The emperor was all interested and asked: "Did Xiang Mingxue really enter a cave like a peach blossom after falling into the water, and found the martial arts secrets in it?"

Yin Li smiled and said: "I also asked Feng Shangshu, and Feng Shangshu said that he asked Xiang Mingxue, and Xiang Mingxue said that his swordsmanship was learned from a knight when he was fleeing, and there is no cave."

The emperor was slightly disappointed, "But he has been able to learn from a weak scholar to a knight in a short period of time, and he has worked hard."

Yin Li said: "I checked it out when I led troops to Suizhou. The Xiang family of Dongxizhuang was quite famous in Suizhou. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, they moved to Suizhou, and their ancestors made a prefectural history. No one can enter the office, but the children of the direct branch have been studying, and it can be regarded as a family of poetry and books."

The emperor sighed, thought about it, and took out the book of Feng Shangshu's plea for mercy, signed the word quasi-pardon on it, sealed it and put it aside.

When Yin Li saw it, he lowered his eyes and stood beside him obediently.

The emperor did not pay attention to his actions, and continued to ask: "You went to dispatch the Western Army, have you seen their defense?"

"Look, there are some small gaps, and General Lu immediately corrected them."

The emperor nodded, "Since you've seen it, how do you think Tubo is fighting now?"

Yin Li was startled, frowned, and said, "It's stronger than it was more than ten years ago. It's just three years after Dazhen, the Tubo has been a minister to me, Your Majesty..."

The emperor showed him a letter from the Ministry of Rites and said, "There is an envoy from Tubo, saying that this year's grassland snow disaster, so the annual tribute is directly reduced by half."

Yin Li hurriedly took it.

The emperor said: "I don't want to fight, but if they have wolf ambitions, I'm not afraid. In the past, you led the Western Army and guarded the border. You said, if there is a war on both sides, how many troops will we need?"

It's not whether they can win, but how many troops are needed. Obviously the emperor thinks they can win.

Yin Li also felt that they would definitely win if they really fought, but why did they have to fight?

As Jingzhao Yin, he knew how big the pit was, so he pushed the pot back to the emperor, "This minister has been away from the border for many years and knows very little about the current military strength of Tubo. Your Majesty might as well ask Li Shangshu to ask.

War should be discussed with Li Zhen, Minister of War. Oh, and Liu Hui, Minister of Household.

The emperor was slightly disappointed that he could not get any advice from Yin Li, so he waved him off.

As soon as he left, the emperor handed the approved book to Gu Zhong, especially the book asking for forgiveness of Xiang Mingxue, which he put on the top, "Tell Tang Qing on duty, although the queen mother is ill, But both ears and eyes are good, let them be a little quieter."

Gu Zhong hurriedly responded, bent over and was about to retreat, the emperor stopped him again, coughed lightly: "You ask the two clever people to walk outside the palace and listen to what the outside world is saying about Xiang Jia. story?"

Yin Li is good at everything, that is, he speaks in a straightforward manner with a straight face. No matter how good the story is, he will get the first three points as soon as he retells it.

As soon as Gu Zhong heard it, he knew that it was the emperor playing with his heart, he immediately raised his voice in response, bowed and stepped back.

As the head of the censor, Mr. Tang, of course he has heard the stories that are circulating outside, and he knows more than everyone else.

This story was made up by the three children, and he burst out laughing when he thought that he received a local special product from Jianzhou sent by Zhou Man when he returned home that day.

From the time those three teenagers entered Beijing to the present, it seems that in order not to be reminiscent of Magistrate Tang, they have never visited the house in person, even though they were locked up in prison before, their family also passed the news through Wei Zhi. I have never come to find him, let alone a gift.

Now that the dust has settled, they have fallen, and they have come. A group of people from Mianzhou came to see him, the father of Yizhou's parents and officials, and the gifts from Jianzhou turned out to be souvenirs.

Old Master Tang took the book to find Ji Xiang, and pulled Ji Xiang to find Feng Shangshu. It just so happened that the yamen hadn't started yet.

Because there were big bosses who reviewed and passed the papers, the papers that should have been sent to the Ministry of Punishment early the next morning arrived in Feng Shangshu's hands not long after.

Then, after Feng Shangshu took a look at Ji Xiang and Lord Tang, the book that was supposed to be executed the next day, he invited Tao Yi, handed the book to him, and said, "Put those two people in the prison. Right."

Tao Yi took it, swept the book with one glance and ten lines, and then glanced at Ji Xiang and Old Tang who were sitting in the chief's office drinking tea. He was smart and didn't ask any more questions. He bowed and stepped back and thought about it. The clerk said, "Go to Changqing Lane, find the Bai family, and ask them to pick them up from the Heavenly Prison. He said that His Majesty Long En has pardoned Xiang Mingxue."

The clerk hurriedly responded.

Only then did Tao Yi begin to prepare materials to release people in the Heavenly Prison.

When a person is released, it is not necessary to go directly to the prison to unlock the lock, but also to go through the formalities, why the person is locked up, and why they are released again.

When Tao Yi finished writing the document, the other colleagues in the Criminal Department had left the yamen to go home early. He had to work overtime to get to the Tianjing. Zhou Man and the others were squatting on the steps in front of the Tianjing, waiting for him.

As soon as he saw him coming, he jumped up and greeted him with a smile on his face.

Tao Yi couldn't help but sigh, "It's good to have a relationship. You are more comfortable and convenient, but I still have to work overtime for you."

Bai Shan immediately said: "Master Tao, thanks to your care when we were in prison, we also brought you some Jianzhou specialties."

Tao Yi paused in his footsteps. He didn't realize that he couldn't accept the gift. He just thought it was strange, "Jianzhou? Are you not from Mianzhou?"
