Cao Qi's statement seems to have some truth. Officialdom has been the same since ancient times. Renzong must have done this in line with the principle that before becoming a high-ranking official, he must go to the grassroots level for two years to train. .??????? Prince Eleven is in jail! Hundreds of clan members avoided the eleventh prince who was convicted of treason, and of course they would not go to jail to see him. This is obviously human nature in the eyes of everyone, and no one even visits the prison with officials who are usually close to him. Ruthless is the most imperial family! This is an iron-clad law, but it was a bit difficult for Renzong to pass. Renzong suffered the betrayal of his uncle, the pain of losing his son, and the death of his beloved concubine this year. I'm afraid no one can understand this kind of pain, only the aloof Renzong suffers it alone. What's more, the ministers who have always supported him and assisted him in his rise to power, at critical moments, first think about the continuation of imperial power and how to protect their power in the future. Renzong realized that everyone was indifferent to himself as the emperor. "Xiao Chunzi, has no one visited the Eleventh Prince yet?" Xiao Chunzi was a young eunuch who had just entered the palace. Before Xiao Chunzi entered the palace, his parents did not survive the Jianghuai drought. In the palace, Xiao Chunzi was bullied, so the little eunuch often cried secretly. Not only is she lonely in the palace, but she also misses her parents. However, he was discovered by Renzong and was taken back to the palace to become a personal eunuch. Yan Wenying was panicking about this. It was not until the emperor rewarded him with a batch of jewels that he finally felt at ease. "Yes, just now, someone came to report! The new Dali Temple Prime Minister Bao Qingbao went to visit the prisoner." Xiao Chunzi answered cautiously, because he found that Renzong had a gloomy face all day long. "Oh! Okay! Okay!" Renzong's brows finally relaxed a little, and he said "yes" twice in a row. "I just don't believe it. Is it true that no one in the world wants to visit prison? Xiaochunzi, look! I'm still right!" Renzong murmured. Xiao Chunzi didn't answer because he didn't understand what Renzong meant. ¡ ¡ In front of you is the gray-white-painted prison of Dali Temple. "Bao Qing, you have to think clearly. Why do you have to come to visit the prison at this time? The eleventh prince is guilty of treason. He might be sent to the market tomorrow." Cao Qi said very dissatisfied. "Did you listen to me? Everyone can't avoid it. It's better for you to go visit the prison. Tomorrow morning I think you will be killed by the censors. You still don't say anything? And you are going to do it. Why do you have to drag me along?" Bao Qing looked back at Cao Qi, who was slowing down, and said, "Did the Cao family send another woman to the palace?" Cao Qing looked shocked, unaware of Bao Qing's sudden appearance. Why are you asking about this? "Do you want your Cao family to remain in the Emperor's heart and maintain their glory and wealth for the rest of their lives?" Bao Qing asked in return. Cao Qi nodded, not only for himself, but also for his clan members. The Cao family is not a small family, and many clan members need his protection. "Then you come with me to visit the Eleventh Prince." Bao Qing said. Cao Qi was a little confused and asked weakly: "You mean, the officials are looking at the prison with wide eyes at this moment? Let's see who dares to visit?" Cao Qi suddenly thought that if it weren't for Bao Qing, he would probably He died outside Bazhou City a long time ago. What Bao Qing can say is absolutely unmistakable. Thinking of this, Cao Qi strode into the prison with Bao Qing. The prison in Dali Temple is indeed not very good, and there are not many people in it. Maybe many people want to come in and are not qualified to be imprisoned. For Bao Qing, Dali Temple is also considered his own unit. Although he, the Prime Minister of Dali Temple, may not come to work in the future, when the jailer saw the official certificate handed over by Bao Qing, he glanced at it and immediately understood that the man in front of him It was Mr. Bao who was newly appointed as the Prime Minister of Dali Temple. "Master Bao, please come quickly!" The warm words of the jailer made Bao Qing feel a little dazed, as if the jailer was inviting him to live in the prison. "Has anyone come to visit the prison before?" "No! Not one! Who dares to come to this rebel? I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it after coming in!" When Cao Qi heard this, he couldn't help but understand that Bao Qingfei wanted to drag him here. , I was afraid that one person would visit the prison, and it would be unclear. Now if the censor came to impeach me, it would be two people who could testify. "Why, Duke Cao Guo is thinking that he is being used by me, Bao Qing?" Cao Qi was surprised when he heard this, how could this kid see through people's thoughts? Cao Qi muttered with some dissatisfaction: "Do you talk to your father-in-law like this?" Cao Qi thought about how this kid Bao Qing kidnapped his two daughters and actually talked to him in an old-fashioned way. "Master Bao, the little princess Bao is here during the day, it's not night now"??She just left! "The jailer said. "Okay, got it! You go first! This is a reward for you, enjoy serving the prince! "After Bao Qing finished speaking, he threw out dozens of coins to the jailer. The jailer was a little surprised at first, and then immediately took the money and thanked him. He didn't expect that there would be someone willing to spend money when he came to see a death row prisoner who had rebelled. The arrival of Bao Qing immediately disturbed the Eleventh Prince who was just about to lie down. He stared at Bao Qing for a long time and said: "Master Bao shouldn't be here!" You really shouldn¡¯t have come! " "Why? " "I really didn't expect that someone would dare to visit me at this moment. I guess Mr. Bao spent a lot of effort to get here, right? If this becomes known, Mr. Bao may get into trouble. "The Eleventh Prince said. "I, Bao Qing, am never afraid of trouble! Because there are enough problems already! I am not afraid of others knowing, because at this moment, all civil and military officials and officials already know. " "Master Bao! You promise to save the life of my king's daughter. But with this approach, how can you keep my daughter? "The Eleventh Prince was a little anxious. Bao Qing looked at the Eleventh Prince and said nothing. When the Eleventh Prince saw that Bao Qing didn't speak, he immediately became anxious and said, "Maybe I shouldn't believe you, but I see that you have a good relationship with Mr. Fan Zhongyan. , should be a person who dares to take action. Why do you want to come to visit this king? How can I save my daughter if I get myself into trouble like this? " "I, Bao Qing, will definitely save your daughter. I came here this time to make a deal with the prince. Maybe the prince doesn¡¯t have to die either. "Bao Qing said. As soon as Bao Qing's words came out, Cao Qi's jaw almost dropped in shock. "Cao Guogong, please help us look out. I want to talk to the prince alone. "After Cao Qi left, Bao Qing walked closer to the Eleventh Prince. "What? Your Majesty doesn¡¯t believe it? "The Eleventh Prince nodded. "You know, if I don't come to see you! No one will look at you. If that's the case, you will definitely die. " "What do you mean by this? " Everyone is afraid of death. In order to save his daughter, Prince Eleven had no choice but to put down his arms and surrender. If someone told him that there was a way to keep him alive, even if he was a prince, he would have to lower his head. "Tell you the truth! The officials want you alive! I don¡¯t want to kill you! But you also know that you will die if you rebel! " "The officials want me to be alive? Why? " "did you know? It doesn't take any trouble for me to enter the prison of Dali Temple. The officials even informed all the clan members that they can visit you freely. It¡¯s just that no one dared to come. " "this! " "You just need to do as I say, and your chances of getting out of the cell alive are very high. " "What do you want from me? "The Eleventh Prince began to look at Bao Qing again. Bao Qing smiled and said: "A promise! Any time in the future, as long as I ask you to do something, as long as you can do it, you must do it for me! " "Isn't this just an empty promise? Aren't you afraid that this king will regret it? "The Eleventh Prince asked. When Bao Qing heard this, he said, "If the Prince regrets it, there is nothing I can do about it! " "good! You said, I will never break my promise! " Bao Qing paused and said, "I estimate that the officials will definitely summon the prince in the near future! As long as the officials summon the prince, the prince can basically survive. If the official summons the prince, it will be up to him to see how he performs. " "how do I say this? " "My lord, just remember this, play the emotional card! You can show a decisive look and strive to die quickly. To say that he was deceived by the Ninth Prince and his brother. We should cry out that the emperor's family is ruthless and that there are few people who can be trusted. The most important thing to blame is that the Queen Mother was dissatisfied with the official family because she suppressed the royal family members too much. But my lord, you have never thought of rebelling. "The Eleventh Prince was shocked and asked: "Didn't you ask me to talk about the Empress Dowager? Isn't that seeking death? " Bao Qing waved his hand and said: "Just seize the Empress Dowager's ability to suppress the princes and criticize her as much as you can! Don't be soft. While talking, he asked the officials to kill the prince. " "Then what? " "Then, you talk about the dead Thirteenth Prince, saying that he was actually forced to die by the Queen Mother. "Bao Qing said. "Wasn't the thirteenth brother killed by my brother? And the officials themselves forced the thirteenth brother to leave Bazhou! Everyone in the court knows this! "The Eleventh Prince asked. Bao Qing was a little unhappy and said, "Then the Prince said that because he wanted to die. The prince just needs to hold on to the empress dowager and be harshJust say this when dealing with royal family members. Also, don't say anything else. " "Is this possible? " "Of course! The person who forced the Thirteenth Prince to death was not an official, but someone who gave advice to the official! Someone had an idea for the way the Queen Mother treated you princes back then. Prince, do you think the officials will remember this? Also, one of the reasons why the Ninth Prince's rebellion was successful was because of someone's connivance. If the prince can connect these things together, the officials will definitely not kill you and leave you to verify it. " In fact, Bao Qing knew that Renzong was reluctant to kill again. He had forced the Thirteenth Prince to die in Bazhou, which had already had a bad impact on the court. More importantly, from the perspective of a traveler, Renzong's temple name is Ren was destined to be an emperor who was inherently deficient in killing people with a knife. Bao Qing saw Renzong's benevolence from his actions in allowing him to visit the prison. "Master Bao, this is bringing trouble to Lu Yijian!" No wonder, I am afraid that this is the condition for Lord Bao to really be willing to save this king. " Bao Qing glared at the Eleventh Prince and shouted: "The most important thing is that I don't want the little princess to lose her father after losing her mother since she was a child! Farewell!
