The emperor thought about it for a while, but he didn't have much entanglement. He nodded and asked, "You asked Feng Shangshu and the others to intercede?"
The prince frowned, "No, I'll just tell my father, what do you want them to do?"
The emperor pondered, "Then who found them?"
The next day the emperor knew who was looking for them. There was no way. The story Bai Shan made up was too exciting. The most important thing was that he went back and discussed with Man Bao Bai Erlang. False mixed in, so fascinated by the students and their families in the Guozi School that they don't want it.
Even a person like Feng Shangshu couldn't forget the story after hearing the story from his grandson, and even took the time to go to the prison to look at Mingxue.
Good stories always spread faster, especially in places where the academic atmosphere is relatively strong like Guozixue.
Everyone communicated after class, and got together after school, so it was passed from Guozixue to Taixue next door, and then to Simenxue next door.
At the same time, the brothers and sisters in the family were also very interested, and the reunion of the sisters and sisters spread in the back house.
The next day, after the Yin Li Dynasty, he took this matter as a small talk and told the emperor.
As Jing Zhaoyin, apart from his family's gossip, he would "chat" with the emperor about anecdotes or matters involving the ministers in the capital.
The emperor was very interested, and asked: "Did Xiang Mingxue enter a cave like a peach blossom garden after falling into the water, and found martial arts secrets inside?"
Yin Li smiled and said: "I also asked Feng Shangshu, Feng Shangshu said that he asked Xiang Mingxue, and Xiang Mingxue said that he learned swordsmanship from a knight when he was fleeing, and there is no cave."
The emperor was slightly disappointed, "However, he was able to learn from a weak scholar to a knight in a short period of time, and he has worked hard."
Yin Lidao: "I checked when I led the troops to Suizhou. The Dongxizhuang Xiang family was quite famous in Suizhou. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, they moved to Suizhou. The ancestors had a history of assassination. No one can become an official, but the direct descendants have been studying all the time, so they can be regarded as a family of poetry and books."
The emperor sighed, thought for a while, took out Feng Shangshu's intercession note, signed the word "Zhu amnesty" on it, stamped it and put it aside.
Yin Li saw it, lowered his eyes and stood obediently aside.
The emperor didn't pay attention to his movements, and continued to ask: "You went to mobilize the Western Army, but have you seen their defense?"
"I've seen it. There are a few minor omissions. General Lu should immediately correct them."
The emperor nodded, "Now that I have seen it, what do you think is Tubo's current combat power?"
Yin Li was stunned, frowned and said: "It's better than ten years ago, but since Dazhen three years later, Tubo has proclaimed my vassal to Dajin, Your Majesty..."
The emperor showed him a copy from the Ministry of Rites and said, "An envoy from Tubo has come and said that this year's grasslands will suffer from snowstorms, so the annual tribute will be directly reduced by half."
Yin Li quickly took it.
The emperor said: "I don't want to fight, but if they are ambitious, I'm not afraid. In the past, you led the Western Army and guarded the border. Tell me, if there is a war between the two 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 if they really fought, they would definitely win, but why did they have to fight
As Jing Zhaoyin, he knew how big the hole was, so he pushed the blame back to the emperor, "I have been away from the border for many years, and I know very little about Tubo's current military strength. Your majesty might as well ask Li Shangshu to ask.
For things like war, you should discuss it with Li Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of War, oh, and Liu Hui, Minister of the Ministry of Households.
The emperor was slightly disappointed that he couldn't get advice from Yin Li, so he waved him away.
As soon as he left, the emperor handed over the approved papers to Gu Zhong, especially the paper asking for forgiveness from Xiang Mingxue, which he put on the top, "Tell Tang Qing on duty that although the queen mother is ill, But eyes and ears are fine, let them be quiet."
Gu Zhong hurriedly responded, bent over and was about to retreat, the emperor stopped him again, coughed lightly and said: "You tell the two smart people to go out of the palace and listen to what people say about Xiang Jia story?"
Yin Li is good at everything, but he speaks plainly and with a straight face. No matter how good the story is, once it is relayed by him, it will be three points first.
As soon as Gu Zhong heard it, he knew that the emperor was playful, he immediately responded with a high voice, bowed and retreated.
As the head of the censor, Mr. Tang, of course he has heard the stories circulating outside, and he knows more details than anyone else.
The three children made up the story and passed it on. Thinking of the day when he got home and received a Jianzhou souvenir from Zhou Man, he laughed out loud.
From the time those three teenagers came to Beijing until now, it seems that they did not make people think of Tang county magistrate. They have never paid a visit in person. I never came to him, let alone gave him a gift.
Now that the dust had settled, they came down, they came, and a group of people from Mianzhou came to see him, the father of the Yizhou parent official, who gave him a souvenir from Jianzhou.
Old Master Tang took the booklet to find Ji Xiang, and dragged Ji Xiang to find Feng Shangshu. Coincidentally, the yamen hadn't left the yamen yet.
Because there were bosses reviewing and passing on the papers, the papers that should have been sent to the Ministry of Punishment the next morning arrived in Feng Shangshu's hands not long after.
After Feng Shangshu took a look at Ji Xiang and Mr. Tang, the book that should have been executed the next day, he recruited Tao Yi, handed the book to him, and said, "Release those two people in the sky prison." Alright."
Tao Yi took it, glanced at the booklet, and then glanced at Ji Xiang and Mr. Tang who were drinking tea in the chief's office. He was smart and didn't ask any more questions. He bowed down and thought for a while, calling in an errand runner. The little official said: "Go to Changqing Lane, find the Bai family, let them go to the prison to pick up people, and say that His Majesty Long En has pardoned Xiang Mingxue."
The little official responded quickly.
Only then did Tao Yi start preparing materials to release people from the prison.
To release a person, it is not enough to just go to the sky prison and unlock the lock. You still have to go through the formalities. You have to write clearly why the person was locked up and why he was released again.
After Tao Yi finished writing the document, other colleagues from the Ministry of Punishment had already gone home, so he had to work overtime to rush to the prison. Zhou Man and the others were squatting on the steps in front of the prison waiting for him.
As soon as he saw him coming, he immediately jumped up and greeted him with a smile on his face.
Tao Yi couldn't help sighing, "It's good to have a relationship, it's convenient for you, but I still have to work overtime for you."
Bai Shan immediately said: "Master Tao, thanks to you taking care of us when we were in prison, we even brought you some Jianzhou specialties."
Tao Yi paused, but he didn't realize that he couldn't accept the gift, he just felt strange, "Jianzhou? Aren't you from Mianzhou?"
