Liu Yuan's guess was correct. After the incense was smoked, just a while later, a large group of guards walked in under the leadership of the jailer and entered the cell. The jailer opened the cell door and ordered all the prisoners to go outside for a walk. Those prisoners usually rarely see the light of day. , all they can see every day is the sunlight shining through the hole in the wall. For them, having the opportunity to go outside to enjoy the wind, look at the sun, and see the flowers, plants, and trees is a great gift. Except for Liu Yuan, he was told that someone wanted to see him. When Liu Yuan was the only one in the entire cell, Li Er, who was wearing a black cloak, slowly walked up to Liu Yuan, staring at Liu Yuan with such piercing eyes that he felt a little guilty. The meaning of using a cloak is very simple, that is, he does not want others to discover that he has been to the prison. "The guilty minister Liu Yuan, please see the Emperor." Liu Yuan had guessed that Li Er would come a long time ago, but he didn't expect that he would come so soon. He also thought that he would wait for three to five days and make himself suffer some pain before he came out. Unexpectedly, one day No, it came so soon. Seeing that my father-in-law is so powerful, it is different to have a backer. If he is not sure, Liu Yuan will not act rashly. Li Er looked down at Liu Yuan and saw Liu Yuan kneeling down, but he did not let him get down immediately. Instead, he looked at the somewhat unkempt Liu Yuan with interest. When he saw Liu Yuan's desolate look, he was particularly surprised. Living in this small, narrow, smelly cell, he couldn't help but feel relieved. Suddenly, he saw a small plate and a large bowl placed in front of the cell. The small plate contained a black and Dirty, unknown pastries, the big bowl filled with paste. It's so rare that it can be used as a mirror. Pick it up and smell it, then quickly put it down. It¡¯s sour and smelly. It went straight to his nose. No wonder Liu Yuan left it alone and refused to eat it. "What, if you don't eat lunch, the food is not delicious?" Li Er said lightly. "The minister is so confused, how can he eat anything?" Li Er stared at Liu Yuan and said coldly: "If I had known this, why would I have done it in the first place. Who do you think the princess is? If you invite her, she will come, if you wave her, you will come. A servant who went?" As soon as he heard Li Er's words, Liu Yuan knew that his guess was right. Li Lizhi did not tell the truth, but was discovered accidentally. Otherwise, Li Er would not have said this. He will say things like you have the heart of a wolf and the courage of a leopard. It can be seen that he was very dissatisfied with his status as a married man, so he attacked himself. To attack himself, Li Er was also under huge pressure. Without enough reasons, he sent a great hero who had just made so many contributions to the prison. This required a lot of courage, and not only the people did not understand. Even ministers will have the reputation of "the cunning rabbit dies and the running dog is cooked". However, Li Er would not be stupid enough to make the fact that they are married to the public, wouldn't the royal family be laughed at? "I don't dare, it's just I've been in love for a long time." Liu Yuan said, standing up by himself, and then sat on the ground. It was too tiring to kneel down and talk like that. He was thrown into prison anyway. No matter how bad he was, he couldn't get any worse. Liu Yuan also felt a little evil in his heart. He sat up without waiting for Li Er to call him. Fortunately, after Li Er saw it, , just pouted, not blaming, pretending to shop, which surprised the personal guards standing far away: The emperor is too indulgent to General Liu. "It is undeniable that you are a talented person. If you did not get married and you wanted to be the consort, I would have allowed you to do so. However, not only did you get married, you also married a woman from the Cui family in Qinghe, and you also deceived my favorite This is absolutely unforgivable." Li Er gritted his teeth and said: "You are married to the former princess of Tubo and have a daughter. You are also a father. If someone is unfavorable to your daughter, what will you do? " Liu Yuanhao? He said without hesitation: "If my daughter is willing, I will bless him. If my daughter is unwilling, I will bury him." "Well, you put it lightly. Changle is not only a princess, but also very strong at heart. She is also my best My favorite daughter, what will the world say if this matter is spread? "Li Er is in a rage, no matter how much he says, provoking his anger will only end up losing more than he gains. He talks about scheming and eloquence, but Li Er easily throws him away. Liu Yuan was a few streets away, so I simply didn¡¯t say anything. Anyway, if Li Er wanted to kill him, he would have killed him long ago, and there was no need to stay now. "Your Majesty, this matter is all the fault of the guilty minister. Please punish me, Your Majesty. I dare not have any objections." Liu Yuan said very bachelorly. "You are a meritorious official and a talented person. You have done a lot of good things for the Tang Dynasty. This is why I have always indulged you. I think that a person who can do practical things is much better than a person who flatters others and talks empty words. Ten things are worse than one thing. I can tolerate a lot of things from you, but if you don¡¯t touch my bottom line, tell me, should I kill you or let you go? "Liu Yuan muttered in his heart: Needless to say, this is unnecessary. , of course they let me go. Do you even need to ask? Thinking about it, Liu Yuan did not dare to say this, so he could only say tactfully: "Of course I hope to be free."However, this is just the wishful thinking of the guilty minister, and he does not dare to influence the emperor's decision. As for the emperor's dilemma, Weichen has a story, which may be helpful to the emperor. " "Oh, what a story, tell it and listen to it. "As soon as the story was mentioned, Li Er's interest came up. "It's like this, there is a distant country, the customs there are a little different from our Tang Dynasty. Young boys and girls do not need marriage as much as the Tang Dynasty. The orders of parents and the words of matchmakers mean that what they insist on is free love. As long as both parties agree, they can register with relevant institutions, and then they will become a formal and legal couple. A boy has been pursuing a girl for many years, and finally mustered up the courage to ask her. She proposed marriage, yes, proposed marriage, and the girl hesitated for a moment. Although she liked the boy, he had advantages but also many shortcomings. This made her very embarrassed. She didn't know whether to agree or not, and even stayed there for several days. They are all depressed and do not think about food or tea. " "Later, one of her friends found out about it and taught her a method, which is to take a piece of paper and write down all the reasons for loving him on one side and all the reasons for not loving him on the other side, and then start deleting them, canceling each other out. , whichever side has the most left in the end is her choice. " Li Er asked with great interest: "A very interesting country, as simple as our Tang Dynasty, but I really want to know, what was the choice of this woman in the end? " "The girl was thinking and deleting. The boy had few advantages and many disadvantages. But at the end of the deletion, there was only one last reason left, which was the word love. The girl loved the boy deeply. True love can conquer everything. In this way, the girl finally decided to marry the boy. " "It's interesting." Li Er nodded, stood up, turned around, and walked out. As he walked, he said, "Just reflect on it here." " "Your Majesty, let them change cells and get some delicious food," Liu Yuan shouted loudly from behind, but Li Er pretended not to hear and walked straight away. "You are really petty. Not long after Li Er left, a man wearing purple The official in the robe walked in casually, walked directly to Liu Yuan, nodded and said: "You are indeed a young hero, even the emperor is impressed by you. "Handsome guy, I see this man is about forty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, dignified appearance, and an elegant temperament in every move. He is such a handsome man. Even Liu Yuan felt ashamed when he saw it. You have to throw things away when comparing goods, and you have to lose when comparing people. "Don't dare, your Excellency is" Although it looks familiar, Liu Yuan really didn't recognize it. "My surname is Pei, and my current name is "Pei". Shaoqing of Dali Temple. "Pei Jin said with a smile. "It turns out we are still acquaintances. Isn't this Pei Jingyan's uncle? No wonder he is so handsome. With how many talents he has produced and how many good stories he has left behind, this Pei Jin will be more than enough to become an idol superstar in future generations. "It turns out that my uncle, my nephew Liu Yuan is polite. "Liu Yuan quickly saluted. "The more elders shout, the more benefits will come. This Pei Jin is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple. Speaking of it, he is the boss of Dali Temple. Liu Yuan does not dare to offend him. Besides, for the sake of Pei Jingyan For his sake, you can¡¯t be hostile to him, so you must be polite. ¡°Please get up, nephew Liu Xian, you¡¯re welcome. "Pei Jin is also an easy-going person. He smiled and asked Liu Yuan to stand up. Since he was one of his own, Liu Yuan was not polite and asked directly: "Uncle, I just heard you say that the emperor is very impressed with Liu. , why is this? " Pei Jin said with a serious face: "Since the emperor came to the throne, he has never visited the prisoner in person. He usually brings people to the palace for interrogation, or directly interrogates him in the side hall of the lobby. He will not come in person. This is your first time in this stinky cell. Pei could tell that when the emperor left, he was in a good mood with a smile on his face. Oh, by the way, the emperor also told Pei that you were A meritorious official deserves preferential treatment. Although there won't be any luxurious dinner, you will get a share of whatever the jailers ask for. My dear nephew, this is the first time. "It turns out that Li Er still took it to heart, and Liu Yuan was happy. At least he could eat by himself and no longer had to sneak around. "That's because the emperor has a kind heart. I also thank my uncle for speaking for my nephew in front of the emperor. " "That's not necessary. If you have any requirements, tell Xiao Fang and let him handle it for you. After tonight, Pei will change the shift and replace them all with his own people, so that he can take care of you. "Pei Jin said carefully. "My uncle is so thoughtful. My nephew admires it. " Pei Jin shook his head and said, "Okay, you don't have to be nice. Pei has official duties, so he won't accompany you anymore. You can just live here and wait for the news. ¡± "Farewell to your uncle." In the Li Zheng Hall, Li Er ordered people to lay out the paper and grind the ink, and then began to prepare to write down the reasons for killing Liu Yuan according to the method taught by Liu Yuan. On one side, the reasons for not killing Liu Yuan are written on the other side. After deletion and offset, the reasons on that side are the most common, which is the final choice (To be continued)
