Chapter 1286 Despair, Hope, Loyalty

The night of the edict prison is like hell, there is no punishment, but people feel hopeless in this boundless darkness and silence.

Meng Ying couldn't sleep. His family sent pens, paper and books, but they couldn't light the lamp at night.

In the darkness, Meng Ying suddenly sobbed softly.

No one pays attention to this side. In the imperial prison, let alone crying, weeping, pretending to be dead, crying for injustice, hitting the wall, confessing... everything.

In a word, imperial prison is a place where human nature can be seen.

Meng Ying thought back to her first half of her life, from the high spiritedness of her youth, to going into battle to kill the enemy, she was proud of herself.

When he inherited the title of Marquis of Baoding, he began to panic.

Wu Xun can enjoy wealth and honor in peace, but the price is that he will become a declining family from now on, and the king will never look at you again.

So he worked hard, he worked desperately, whether he was in charge of supplies or commanding an army during the Northern Expedition, he was always conscientious and did not dare to slack off.

Even when he was in charge of the supply, he heard that there was a fighter opportunity, so he decisively led the army forward, and as a result, he defeated the enemy army and made great contributions.

And all of this is just that he wants to use his own efforts to turn the Meng family and the Baoding Marquis Mansion into the most shining family among the Daming relatives.

But now her hard work has turned into a serious crime, which makes Meng Ying unable to maintain her calm appearance any longer.

"Your Majesty! The minister is guilty! The minister...is guilty..."

Meng Ying was startled by a dream sound coming from the next door. He collected himself and said, "Master Yang? Master Yang?"

But the only response from the neighbor was a slight snoring.

Meng Ying couldn't help raising her head, letting the tears fall.

Even in my dream, I dared to say that I am guilty, how desperate it is to be like this!

After entering the Imperial Prison, most of them would not even think about going out. Many people died in prison with despair, but they couldn't wait for the king's decree to excuse them.

Thinking of the situation in Baoding Hou Mansion if she stayed in the imperial prison for ten or twenty years, Meng Ying felt empty in her heart, without a place to go.

The prison didn't know the sun, moon and stars, and how long it had passed, when Meng Ying was in a daze, footsteps came from outside.

Meng Ying's body shook, and she quickly retreated into the bed.

It is said to be a bed, but it is actually just a piece of wood.

However, because most of the people who can enter the Imperial Prison are high-ranking officials, after Ji Gang left, the Imperial Prison also began to "humanize" management, replacing the straw bedding with cotton pads, and the quilts were also quilts.

Lying on the bed, Meng Ying's sensitive five senses, which had been practiced martial arts since she was a child, began to play a role.

Of the three people, one of them walked steadily and powerfully, obviously maintaining a good center of gravity.

And the other person's footsteps are a little messy, no, it's frivolous.

The footsteps of the third person seemed a bit heavy and stiff, as if an old man with difficulty walking was trying to maintain his walking dignity.

The footsteps gradually approached, and Meng Ying heard that Yang Pu next door stopped snoring, her breathing suddenly became short, and then slowly recovered.

Brightness is what human beings have been pursuing. From the bonfire thousands of years ago to the lighting of oil lamps and candles, human beings finally got rid of the fear of darkness.

When Guangming appeared outside Meng Ying's cell, he didn't dare to move.

Is this going to fix me?

"Meng Ying!"

A familiar voice came, and Meng Ying was startled, turned over, went to the fence and knelt down, "See Your Highness."

"Your Highness, I will take my leave."

"Go."

Zhu Gaochi's face was covered with sweat, Liang Zhong put down the chair and helped him to sit down.

"Meng Ying, do you know that you made a big mistake?"

Meng Ying's heart skipped a beat, it was a big mistake, not a big crime!

"I know I was wrong."

Zhu Gaochi took the towel to wipe off his sweat, and said slowly: "Father has taken good care of your family, and he has always favored you, but what do you use to repay this favor? Is it selfishness? Or do you want to build up the Ming army? Become an iron cage for your warriors!"

"The minister is dead!"

Meng Ying said suddenly: "I have a lot of selfishness, I only think about my own position, but I forgot His Majesty's great trust."

Zhu Gaochi said indifferently: "Father has always missed you,

In the evening, I summoned Ben Gong, sighed and talked about the friendship with the old Baoding Hou, and about your loyalty and courage during the two northern expeditions... The emperor originally wanted to come in person, but his old man was seriously ill After recovering from the initial recovery, Bengong strongly persuaded me, and then came to visit you on behalf of my father, to see if you have any regrets. "

Meng Ying only felt a flame burning in her chest, which was almost uncontrollable, and finally turned into tears.

Zhu Gaochi looked at Meng Ying, who was desperately knocking, and sighed: "Be good, the Meng family is full of loyalty, you can't ignore it, let's pass it down from generation to generation, and share weal and woe with Daming, okay?"

What else Meng Ying could say was that she was moved.

Zhu Gaochi stood up with difficulty, and murmured: "You all will be fine, and Da Ming will be fine too, everything will be fine."

Yang Pu next door suddenly breathed again, and then snored again.

Zhu Gaochi left just like that, before Meng Ying's tears dried up, she approached the fence with a smiling face, and said with a smile: "Marquis Baoding, Your Majesty is merciful, please hurry up, and you can catch up with sleep when you go home. "

Meng Ying got up, stood there for a long time, cupped her hands in the direction of the imperial city, and then left the cell.

Standing outside the prison, Meng Ying couldn't believe that she came out.

The air is clean and free.

And people are also kind.

"father!"

The night sky was full of stars, but this shout of joy made Meng Ying bow her head, and then looked at the boy running in front of her, and couldn't help reaching out to touch his shoulder.

"Jun'er, let's go home!"

...

Meng Ying was released at night, Fang Xing was a little confused, what is Lao Zhu going to do?

"The prince went there in person. It can be seen that His Majesty has begun to realize that the situation in the army is unstable, so he began to let the prince contact these generals to lay the foundation for future succession."

Xie Jin was followed by a bell's son, and Fang Xing was walking in the front yard.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Fang Xing admired sincerely: "Look at the previous emperors, before they passed away, they were reluctant to let go of half of the power in their hands. Then look at Your Majesty, it really is Your Majesty! Confident, domineering, dare to let go."

Once Zhu Di went to the north, he would be the crown prince in charge of the country, and when he came back, he would only focus on the big things and leave the small things to Zhu Gaochi.

So this is an emperor who has the common suspicion of the hero, but knows that he will let go when he knows it is time to let go.

Xie Jin said confusedly: "The old man has experienced three emperors, Emperor Taizu Gao had far-sightedness and foresight, and his methods were sharp and decisive."

Zhu Yuanzhang's methods are indeed frightening. For the sake of Zhu Biao and Zhu Yunqi, he wiped out all the civil and military officials who were in power in the court.

"The one in front of His Majesty was indecisive, and was coaxed by Huang Zicheng and the others, thinking that those rotten Confucians could rule the country, but His Majesty turned the world around."

"As for His Majesty today... he can be called a great talent, not inferior to Emperor Qin and Han Wu, but he is more tolerant towards his subjects, and less bloody..."

In fact, Zhu Di has two sides. On the one hand, he is not stingy with rewards and treats heroes well.

On the other hand, he is violent. He is never soft on officials who violate his taboos. He will kill those who deserve to be killed, exile those who deserve to be exiled, and never tolerate.

"This kind of majesty is complete. If it is too perfect, it does not belong to the world." 21o74
