Mu Changyan wasn't sure what kind of chaos there was in Jinxiu Palace, but he did have a headache because An Zheng had captured Ma Ziwei back. This incident may be said to be a turning point, but it may also be an acceleration of the worst outcome.
The confidant turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by two young guards brought by Mu Changyan: "For the safety of the king, everyone should not come in or out for the time being. The security here is temporarily under the responsibility of our guards from Tianji Palace. You all should go back. "
Mu Changyan turned around in front: "What's the important matter?"
Guo Wenli asked: "Is this the only way?"
Guo Wenli waved his hand: "You guys stand down."
Mu Changyan looked out the window: "In the past, Gu had never thought that one day the affairs of the Mu family would fall on Gu's shoulders. This family is so heavy that Gu did it without even the slightest preparation. Take over this country. But since I have taken over this country, I cannot let this country be ruined in my hands."
Guo Wenli bowed his head and saluted.
Once the Queen Mother believed that Ma Ziwei was arrested by Mu Changyan, she would definitely kill Chen Zaiyan and the Ministry of War officials currently in prison as soon as possible.
Chen Zaiyan smiled, and as soon as he smiled, blood flowed from his mouth: "Of course I know that I will die, and I also know that there is no room for reversal in this matter, and no miracle will happen. But I also know very well that if If I really admit these things, it will not be me or my family who will die. It is a serious crime of treason and will implicate the nine ethnic groups... I have not sorry for this country, let alone my family."
Guo Wenli sighed: "I will try my best to find a way to protect your family."
Mu Changyan thought for a while and then said: "Actually, no matter who captured Ma Ziwei, the Queen Mother will think that Ma Ziwei was captured alone, right?"
An Chengli lowered his head and said, "The king is rightly worried. The Queen Mother may indeed be eager to get rid of Chen Zaiyan. Once Chen Zaiyan dies, even if Ma Ziwei is in our hands, it will be meaningless. "
Guo Wenli was stunned for a moment, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Mu Changyan: "It's nothing particularly important. I just want him to bring the confessions from the two days of interrogation to your Majesty for a look."
The big men who were being tortured were stunned for a moment, and then exited the cell.
Mu Changyan thought for a while and then said: "Actually, no matter who captured Ma Ziwei, the Queen Mother will think that Ma Ziwei was captured alone, right?"
Mu Changyan turned around in front: "What's the important matter?"
"If that's the case, then what are you worried about?"
"Serve me to change my clothes."
An Chengli lowered his head and said, "The king is rightly worried. The Queen Mother may indeed be eager to get rid of Chen Zaiyan. Once Chen Zaiyan dies, even if Ma Ziwei is in our hands, it will be meaningless. "
Guo Wenli asked: "Is this the only way?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Chen Zaiyan said: "Master Guo, you don't have to say this hypocritically. It's not you who wants me dead, but the Queen Mother. How could the Queen Mother leave hidden dangers for herself? I, Chen Zaiyan, still have one member of my family who is still alive, right? It's a threat to her, and even if it's not a threat, she won't stay. It's something that the Queen Mother is very familiar with."
"Be bold!"
Mu Changyan stood up: "You go out now, even if Gu sent you out casually without letting you know what Gu was going to do. In this way, the Queen Mother will not have any doubts about you. Gu will leave now Go to the Criminal Department and take Chen Zaiyan and others away directly."
He sat in front of Chen Zaiyan: "You can tell me who of your people outside is trustworthy. I will bring your message to him, and then arrange for them to rescue your family from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."
After entering the prison, Mu Changyan was stunned for a moment when he saw the completely naked Chen Zaiyan.
"If that's the case, then what are you worried about?"
Guo Wenli put the tea cup back and said after a moment of silence: "I know what you said is right, but some things still depend on man-made things. You should believe me, although in your heart I am not a person worth trusting. I can't say it openly. Save your family, but maybe only I can do it in the dark."
The weak Chen Zaiyan raised his head with difficulty and looked at Mu Changyan with a look in his eyes as if he was seeing a relative before he died.
Mu Changyan said: "That's not necessary, Gu Xin can beat you."
Chen Zaiyan's expression changed obviously.
Mu Changyan wasn't sure what kind of chaos there was in Jinxiu Palace, but he did have a headache because An Zheng had captured Ma Ziwei back. This incident may be said to be a turning point, but it may also be an acceleration of the worst outcome.
Mu Changyan stood up: "You go out now, even if Gu sent you out casually without letting you know what Gu was going to do. In this way, the Queen Mother will not have any doubts about you. Gu will leave now Go to the Criminal Department and take Chen Zaiyan and others away directly."
He took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, the Queen Mother will think it's a lone hand, so just be more direct."
Guo Wenli said: "I have something important to ask him to do."
"But just because you are smart, you should know that you are bound to die. In this case, why do you need to suffer such torture? As long as you admit these things, at least you can die more happily."
The weak Chen Zaiyan raised his head with difficulty and looked at Mu Changyan with a look in his eyes as if he was seeing a relative before he died.
He took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, the Queen Mother will think it's a lone hand, so just be more direct."
Guo Wenli waved his hand: "You guys stand down."
Chen Zaiyan said: "Master Guo, you don't have to say this hypocritically. It's not you who wants me dead, but the Queen Mother. How could the Queen Mother leave hidden dangers for herself? I, Chen Zaiyan, still have one member of my family who is still alive, right? It's a threat to her, and even if it's not a threat, she won't stay. It's something that the Queen Mother is very familiar with."
Mu Changyan turned his back to Guo Wenli and said: "You are a traitor, and you have no intention of repenting even when you are about to die. It seems that I really misjudged you."
He turned around sharply and said, "Guo Wenli, shouldn't such a vicious thief be exposed to the whole world as a warning?"
An Chengli said quickly: "But in this case, the king will have no way out."
Several big men like wolves and tigers rushed over, grabbed Chen Zaiyan's hand and pressed it on the confession.
Mu Changyan said: "Well, tomorrow is the Autumn Ceremony. I want these traitors who want to overthrow our country of Yan to see how prosperous our country is. I will take them away today and tomorrow At the Qiucheng Ceremony, let them kneel in front of everyone and look at the beautiful mountains and rivers under Gu's rule. Let all the students who attend the Qiucheng Ceremony see the fate of these traitors."
Guo Wenli walked up to Chen Zaiyan, took out his handkerchief and wiped the blood on Chen Zaiyan's face. Then he walked back and brought a cup of tea to Chen Zaiyan. Chen Zaiyan did not resist and drank the cup of tea in one gulp.
Guo Wenli was stunned for a moment, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Mu Changyan: "It's nothing particularly important. I just want him to bring the confessions from the two days of interrogation to your Majesty for a look."
Mu Changyan waved his hand casually: "Have those traitors confessed?"
"I'm guilty... I failed to assist the king in reviving the Yan Dynasty. It's my crime. I failed to complete the war against Youguo as soon as possible, which may now cause the country to suffer an unprecedented disaster. It's my crime. I don't dare to slack off for a day. Every day I only sleep for two hours a day. If I had known this day, I would not be willing to waste even one hour. This is my sin... "
Mu Changyan stopped shouting, and Guo Wenli was so frightened that he knelt down: "Your Majesty..."
Guo Wenli walked up to Chen Zaiyan, took out his handkerchief and wiped the blood on Chen Zaiyan's face. Then he walked back and brought a cup of tea to Chen Zaiyan. Chen Zaiyan did not resist and drank the cup of tea in one gulp.
Mu Changyan said: "Gu... In fact, there is no way out for a long time. Either live to save Dayan of the Mu family, or die to save Dayan of the Mu family. These are the only two options."
An Chengli lowered his head and said, "The king is rightly worried. The Queen Mother may indeed be eager to get rid of Chen Zaiyan. Once Chen Zaiyan dies, even if Ma Ziwei is in our hands, it will be meaningless. "
Mu Changyan stood up: "You go out now, even if Gu sent you out casually without letting you know what Gu was going to do. In this way, the Queen Mother will not have any doubts about you. Gu will leave now Go to the Criminal Department and take Chen Zaiyan and others away directly."

"Serve me to change my clothes."
Guo Wenli asked: "Is this the only way?"
Mu Changyan stood up: "You go out now, even if Gu sent you out casually without letting you know what Gu was going to do. In this way, the Queen Mother will not have any doubts about you. Gu will leave now Go to the Criminal Department and take Chen Zaiyan and others away directly."
Guo Wenli, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, stared at him personally, his eyes twinkling.
Mu Changyan hummed: "I want to go and ask Chen Zaiyan in person if I have wronged him in any way."
Mu Changyan looked out the window: "In the past, Gu had never thought that one day the affairs of the Mu family would fall on Gu's shoulders. This family is so heavy that Gu did it without even the slightest preparation. Take over this country. But since I have taken over this country, I cannot let this country be ruined in my hands."
An Chengli said quickly: "But in this case, the king will have no way out."
Mu Changyan stood up: "You go out now, even if Gu sent you out casually without letting you know what Gu was going to do. In this way, the Queen Mother will not have any doubts about you. Gu will leave now Go to the Criminal Department and take Chen Zaiyan and others away directly."
Guo Wenli, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, stared at him personally, his eyes twinkling.
How could Guo Wenli dare to say no: "Exactly, your Majesty is absolutely right. Such a traitor should be seen clearly by everyone in the world."
Guo Wenli quickly waved his hand and asked all his men to step aside. Then he straightened his clothes and walked out quickly. When they arrived at the door of the prison, King Yan Mu Changyan had already strode in.
Mu Changyan hummed: "I want to go and ask Chen Zaiyan in person if I have wronged him in any way."
Of course he knew that Chen Zaiyan was innocent, and of course he knew how much Chen Zaiyan's death would hit Dayan. It is very likely to affect the battle situation on the front line. In the worst case, Dayan may fall into an unprecedented predicament. But he had no other choice. The pressure on him from Jinxiu Palace was too great.
Guo Wenli's face kept changing. After being silent for a while, he sighed: "I said, I am in awe of people like you... But I have no other choice, so I can't change anything. Since you don't want to admit it, Then I have to admit it for you."
After changing clothes, Mu Changyan strode forward.
Mu Changyan said: "That's not necessary, Gu Xin can beat you."
"Be bold!"
"Serve me to change my clothes."
Guo Wenli lowered his voice and ordered his close associates: "Go to Jinxiu Palace quickly and report to the Queen Mother that the king has come to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and wants to see Chen Zaiyan."
Mu Changyan said: "Gu... In fact, there is no way out for a long time. Either live to save Dayan of the Mu family, or die to save Dayan of the Mu family. These are the only two options."
After changing clothes, Mu Changyan strode forward.
Guo Wenli's face kept changing. After being silent for a while, he sighed: "I said, I am in awe of people like you... But I have no other choice, so I can't change anything. Since you don't want to admit it, Then I have to admit it for you."
In the Criminal Department, Chen Zaiyan was dying.
Guo Wenli put the tea cup back and said after a moment of silence: "I know what you said is right, but some things still depend on man-made things. You should believe me, although in your heart I am not a person worth trusting. I can't say it openly. Save your family, but maybe only I can do it in the dark."
Chen Zaiyan asked: "If I want to beg you, I can...please give me a glass of wine so that I can drink it before I go on my way."
After changing clothes, Mu Changyan strode forward.
Even if there was no order from the Queen Mother to execute Chen Zaiyan as soon as possible, the people in the Ministry of Punishment did not intend to let Chen Zaiyan live long. They have already been tortured, so they have no way out. Once Chen Zaiyan is let out of this prison, they may not end well.
After changing clothes, Mu Changyan strode forward.
Several big men like wolves and tigers rushed over, grabbed Chen Zaiyan's hand and pressed it on the confession.
Chen Zaiyan, who was covered in blood, raised his head and said, "When I do things, I stand upright. The people under me are all good men who stand upright. If one of us dies, it will be a loss for Dayan. People like us The more people die, the fewer people will die, and the number of people like you will increase."
Guo Wenli, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, stared at him personally, his eyes twinkling.
Mu Changyan said: "Well, tomorrow is the Autumn Ceremony. I want these traitors who want to overthrow our country of Yan to see how prosperous our country is. I will take them away today and tomorrow At the Qiucheng Ceremony, let them kneel in front of everyone and look at the beautiful mountains and rivers under Gu's rule.

In the worst case, Dayan may fall into an unprecedented predicament. But he had no other choice. The pressure on him from Jinxiu Palace was too great.
After saying that, Mu Changyan turned around and left.
Guo Wenli, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, stared at him personally, his eyes twinkling.
He took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, the Queen Mother will think it's a lone hand, so just be more direct."
Guo Wenli said: "Mr. Chen... In fact, you are a very smart person. Although you and I are not very familiar with each other and have no personal relationship, I want to respect you as a person. To be honest, I am very fond of people like you. Admiration, because I am not someone like you.”
Guo Wenli waved his hand: "You guys stand down."
Mu Changyan turned his back to Guo Wenli and said: "You are a traitor, and you have no intention of repenting even when you are about to die. It seems that I really misjudged you."
"Be bold!"
Mu Changyan's eyes were red and the corners of his eyes were moist. He glanced at Chen Zaiyan and then at Guo Wenli, who was kneeling on the ground. He raised his hand and rubbed his red eyes and shouted angrily at Chen Zaiyan: "Bold traitor! I trust you so much, and you actually do such a treasonous thing. I came here just to hear what you have got." explain!"
Guo Wenli bowed his head and saluted.
Guo Wenli asked: "Is this the only way?"
Chen Zaiyan smiled, and as soon as he smiled, blood flowed from his mouth: "Of course I know that I will die, and I also know that there is no room for reversal in this matter, and no miracle will happen. But I also know very well that if If I really admit these things, it will not be me or my family who will die. It is a serious crime of treason and will implicate the nine ethnic groups...

"Yes, Your Majesty."
An Chengli said quickly: "But in this case, the king will have no way out."
He turned around sharply and said, "Guo Wenli, shouldn't such a vicious thief be exposed to the whole world as a warning?"
Guo Wenli was stunned for a moment, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Mu Changyan: "It's nothing particularly important. I just want him to bring the confessions from the two days of interrogation to your Majesty for a look."
A civilian official from outside walked in quickly: "Sir, we are ready."
Mu Changyan looked out the window: "In the past, Gu had never thought that one day the affairs of the Mu family would fall on Gu's shoulders. This family is so heavy that Gu did it without even the slightest preparation. Take over this country. But since I have taken over this country, I cannot let this country be ruined in my hands."

Guo Wenli walked up to Chen Zaiyan, took out his handkerchief and wiped the blood on Chen Zaiyan's face. Then he walked back and brought a cup of tea to Chen Zaiyan. Chen Zaiyan did not resist and drank the cup of tea in one gulp.
Guo Wenli said: "Now your family members are all locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Punishments. Where they are locked up, how many people are guarding them, and their rotations. Only I know these things. So you should believe what I say, and besides me, you should believe what I say." You have no one to trust."
Guo Wenli took the confession and looked at it. Basically, there was no discrepancy with what Jinxiu Palace had told him. He nodded: "Go and get a few people to help Mr. Chen put his fingerprints on this confession. After pressing the fingerprints, there is no need to torture Mr. Chen... Go ahead and give Mr. Chen whatever he needs. Okay. Wine and food are all provided.”
"Back to your Majesty, not yet, but it should be soon."
Mu Changyan trembled and said: "How dare you, at this moment, you are still trying to deceive me with your sweet words. Do you really think that I don't know the evil deeds you have done? You are guilty of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and you will be implicated in the nine tribes. I just want to hear, you Now I have nothing else to say to you."
A civilian official from outside walked in quickly: "Sir, we are ready."
Guo Wenli waved his hand: "You guys stand down."
Guo Wenli said: "I have something important to ask him to do."
Several big men like wolves and tigers rushed over, grabbed Chen Zaiyan's hand and pressed it on the confession.

Mu Changyan waved his hand: "We will all be taken away by Gu and imprisoned in Tianji Palace. No one is allowed to approach!"
Chen Zaiyan looked at Mu Changyan and said: "After my death... Your Majesty has lost another helper. Please take care of yourself."
How could Guo Wenli dare to say no: "Exactly, your Majesty is absolutely right. Such a traitor should be seen clearly by everyone in the world."
Guo Wenli walked up to Chen Zaiyan, took out his handkerchief and wiped the blood on Chen Zaiyan's face. Then he walked back and brought a cup of tea to Chen Zaiyan. Chen Zaiyan did not resist and drank the cup of tea in one gulp.

Guo Wenli sighed: "I will try my best to find a way to protect your family."
Guo Wenli said: "I am the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. As long as I relax a little bit, it won't be difficult for your men to suddenly break in and rescue your family."
"Serve me to change my clothes."
Guo Wenli opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Guo Wenli said: "I have something important to ask him to do."
"Back to your Majesty, not yet, but it should be soon."
Mu Changyan said: "Well, tomorrow is the Autumn Ceremony. I want these traitors who want to overthrow our country of Yan to see how prosperous our country is.

Chen Zaiyan said: "Master Guo, you don't have to say this hypocritically. It's not you who wants me dead, but the Queen Mother. How could the Queen Mother leave hidden dangers for herself?

At this moment, someone outside shouted: "The king is here!"
How could Guo Wenli dare to say no: "Exactly, your Majesty is absolutely right. Such a traitor should be seen clearly by everyone in the world."
Guo Wenli said: "I am the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. As long as I relax a little bit, it won't be difficult for your men to suddenly break in and rescue your family."

Mu Changyan said: "That's not necessary, Gu Xin can beat you."
Mu Changyan waved his hand: "We will all be taken away by Gu and imprisoned in Tianji Palace. No one is allowed to approach!"
Chen Zaiyan looked at Mu Changyan and said: "After my death... Your Majesty has lost another helper. Please take care of yourself."
Chen Zaiyan's expression changed obviously.
He turned around sharply and said, "Guo Wenli, shouldn't such a vicious thief be exposed to the whole world as a warning?"
He waved his hand: "Has the confession prepared for Mr. Chen been written?"
"But just because you are smart, you should know that you are bound to die. In this case, why do you need to suffer such torture? As long as you admit these things, at least you can die more happily."
Mu Changyan stopped shouting, and Guo Wenli was so frightened that he knelt down: "Your Majesty..."
Mu Changyan stood up: "You go out now, even if Gu sent you out casually without letting you know what Gu was going to do. In this way, the Queen Mother will not have any doubts about you. Gu will leave now Go to the Criminal Department and take Chen Zaiyan and others away directly."

Only I know these things. So you should believe what I say, and besides me, you should believe what I say." You have no one to trust."
Mu Changyan turned around in front: "What's the important matter?"
Mu Changyan thought for a while and then said: "Actually, no matter who captured Ma Ziwei, the Queen Mother will think that Ma Ziwei was captured alone, right?"
The weak Chen Zaiyan raised his head with difficulty and looked at Mu Changyan with a look in his eyes as if he was seeing a relative before he died.
"I'm guilty... I failed to assist the king in reviving the Yan Dynasty. It's my crime.

He sat in front of Chen Zaiyan: "You can tell me who of your people outside is trustworthy. I will bring your message to him, and then arrange for them to rescue your family from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."

Mu Changyan wasn't sure what kind of chaos there was in Jinxiu Palace, but he did have a headache because An Zheng had captured Ma Ziwei back. This incident may be said to be a turning point, but it may also be an acceleration of the worst outcome.
Mu Changyan looked out the window: "In the past, Gu had never thought that one day the affairs of the Mu family would fall on Gu's shoulders. This family is so heavy that Gu did it without even the slightest preparation. Take over this country. But since I have taken over this country, I cannot let this country be ruined in my hands."
Guo Wenli asked: "Is this the only way?"
After changing clothes, Mu Changyan strode forward.
The weak Chen Zaiyan raised his head with difficulty and looked at Mu Changyan with a look in his eyes as if he was seeing a relative before he died.
After entering the prison, Mu Changyan was stunned for a moment when he saw the completely naked Chen Zaiyan.
Mu Changyan stopped shouting, and Guo Wenli was so frightened that he knelt down: "Your Majesty..."
Mu Changyan waved his hand casually: "Have those traitors confessed?"
"Serve me to change my clothes."
Chen Zaiyan asked: "Why? What reason do you have to take the huge risk of offending the Queen Mother to help me? All unfounded things, no matter how beautiful they seem, are illusions and scams. So I don't believe a word of your words. If If I tell you the person I trust, your experts from the Criminal Department will immediately pounce on me like dogs and bite my people to pieces. "
Guo Wenli said: "I am the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. As long as I relax a little bit, it won't be difficult for your men to suddenly break in and rescue your family."
The weak Chen Zaiyan raised his head with difficulty and looked at Mu Changyan with a look in his eyes as if he was seeing a relative before he died.
"Meet the King."
Chen Zaiyan, who was covered in blood, raised his head and said, "When I do things, I stand upright. The people under me are all good men who stand upright. If one of us dies, it will be a loss for Dayan. People like us The more people die, the fewer people will die, and the number of people like you will increase."
Chen Zaiyan's expression changed obviously.
Guo Wenli waved his hand: "You guys stand down."
Several big men like wolves and tigers rushed over, grabbed Chen Zaiyan's hand and pressed it on the confession.
Of course he knew that Chen Zaiyan was innocent, and of course he knew how much Chen Zaiyan's death would hit Dayan. It is very likely to affect the battle situation on the front line. In the worst case, Dayan may fall into an unprecedented predicament. But he had no other choice. The pressure on him from Jinxiu Palace was too great.
Guo Wenli said: "I have something important to ask him to do."
Guo Wenli put the tea cup back and said after a moment of silence: "I know what you said is right, but some things still depend on man-made things. You should believe me, although in your heart I am not a person worth trusting. I can't say it openly. Save your family, but maybe only I can do it in the dark."
Guo Wenli said: "I am the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. As long as I relax a little bit, it won't be difficult for your men to suddenly break in and rescue your family."
Guo Wenli, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, stared at him personally, his eyes twinkling.
"I will not harm any Yan people who care about this country for the sake of my family."
"I'm guilty... I failed to assist the king in reviving the Yan Dynasty. It's my crime. I failed to complete the war against Youguo as soon as possible, which may now cause the country to suffer an unprecedented disaster. It's my crime. I don't dare to slack off for a day. Every day I only sleep for two hours a day. If I had known this day, I would not be willing to waste even one hour. This is my sin... "
Mu Changyan thought for a while and then said: "Actually, no matter who captured Ma Ziwei, the Queen Mother will think that Ma Ziwei was captured alone, right?"
After saying this, Mu Changyan strode in.
How could Guo Wenli dare to say no: "Exactly, your Majesty is absolutely right. Such a traitor should be seen clearly by everyone in the world."
Mu Changyan said: "Gu... In fact, there is no way out for a long time. Either live to save Dayan of the Mu family, or die to save Dayan of the Mu family. These are the only two options."
Guo Wenli opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Guo Wenli's face kept changing. After being silent for a while, he sighed: "I said, I am in awe of people like you... But I have no other choice, so I can't change anything. Since you don't want to admit it, Then I have to admit it for you."
Chen Zaiyan asked: "If I want to beg you, I can...please give me a glass of wine so that I can drink it before I go on my way."
Chen Zaiyan asked: "If I want to beg you, I can...please give me a glass of wine so that I can drink it before I go on my way."
Guo Wenli was speechless and didn't know what to do for a moment. Seven or eight guards from Tianji Palace sealed the aisles and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Even if he was a member of the Queen Mother, he would not dare to openly confront King Yan.
He sat in front of Chen Zaiyan: "You can tell me who of your people outside is trustworthy. I will bring your message to him, and then arrange for them to rescue your family from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."

As the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Guo Wenli is best at observing words and emotions. From Mu Changyan's expression and tone, he vaguely sensed a hint of evil. Although Mu Changyan used the words "those traitors", Guo Wenli's uneasiness became more and more intense.
How could Guo Wenli dare to say no: "Exactly, your Majesty is absolutely right. Such a traitor should be seen clearly by everyone in the world."
"I'm guilty... I failed to assist the king in reviving the Yan Dynasty. It's my crime.

Every day I only sleep for two hours a day. If I had known this day, I would not be willing to waste even one hour. This is my sin... "
Guo Wenli took the confession and looked at it. Basically, there was no discrepancy with what Jinxiu Palace had told him. He nodded: "Go and get a few people to help Mr. Chen put his fingerprints on this confession. After pressing the fingerprints, there is no need to torture Mr. Chen... Go ahead and give Mr. Chen whatever he needs. Okay. Wine and food are all provided.”
"Meet the King."
Chen Zaiyan said: "Master Guo, you don't have to say this hypocritically. It's not you who wants me dead, but the Queen Mother. How could the Queen Mother leave hidden dangers for herself? I, Chen Zaiyan, still have one member of my family who is still alive, right? It's a threat to her, and even if it's not a threat, she won't stay. It's something that the Queen Mother is very familiar with."
He waved his hand: "Has the confession prepared for Mr. Chen been written?"
Mu Changyan turned around in front: "What's the important matter?"
"Back to your Majesty, not yet, but it should be soon."
"I'm guilty... I failed to assist the king in reviving the Yan Dynasty. It's my crime.

Guo Wenli waved his hand: "You guys stand down."
He sat in front of Chen Zaiyan: "You can tell me who of your people outside is trustworthy. I will bring your message to him, and then arrange for them to rescue your family from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."
A civilian official from outside walked in quickly: "Sir, we are ready."
The big men who were being tortured were stunned for a moment, and then exited the cell.
Even if there was no order from the Queen Mother to execute Chen Zaiyan as soon as possible, the people in the Ministry of Punishment did not intend to let Chen Zaiyan live long. They have already been tortured, so they have no way out. Once Chen Zaiyan is let out of this prison, they may not end well.

Mu Changyan turned his back to Guo Wenli and said: "You are a traitor, and you have no intention of repenting even when you are about to die. It seems that I really misjudged you."
Guo Wenli bowed his head and saluted.
Guo Wenli sighed: "I will try my best to find a way to protect your family."
After saying that, Mu Changyan turned around and left.
Chen Zaiyan looked at Mu Changyan and said: "After my death... Your Majesty has lost another helper. Please take care of yourself."
After finishing speaking, Guo Wenli turned and walked aside.
Mu Changyan hummed: "I want to go and ask Chen Zaiyan in person if I have wronged him in any way."
After saying this, Mu Changyan strode in.
Guo Wenli bowed his head and saluted.
Guo Wenli was speechless and didn't know what to do for a moment. Seven or eight guards from Tianji Palace sealed the aisles and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Even if he was a member of the Queen Mother, he would not dare to openly confront King Yan.
He took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, the Queen Mother will think it's a lone hand, so just be more direct."
After saying this, Mu Changyan strode in.
Several big men like wolves and tigers rushed over, grabbed Chen Zaiyan's hand and pressed it on the confession.

At this moment, someone outside shouted: "The king is here!"
Guo Wenli was stunned for a moment, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Mu Changyan: "It's nothing particularly important. I just want him to bring the confessions from the two days of interrogation to your Majesty for a look."
Mu Changyan trembled and said: "How dare you, at this moment, you are still trying to deceive me with your sweet words. Do you really think that I don't know the evil deeds you have done? You are guilty of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and you will be implicated in the nine tribes. I just want to hear, you Now I have nothing else to say to you."
Mu Changyan said: "Gu... In fact, there is no way out for a long time. Either live to save Dayan of the Mu family, or die to save Dayan of the Mu family. These are the only two options."
Mu Changyan waved his hand casually: "Have those traitors confessed?"
Guo Wenli asked: "Is this the only way?"
Mu Changyan said: "That's not necessary, Gu Xin can beat you."
Guo Wenli quickly waved his hand and asked all his men to step aside. Then he straightened his clothes and walked out quickly. When they arrived at the door of the prison, King Yan Mu Changyan had already strode in.
Chen Zaiyan said: "Master Guo, you don't have to say this hypocritically. It's not you who wants me dead, but the Queen Mother. How could the Queen Mother leave hidden dangers for herself? I, Chen Zaiyan, still have one member of my family who is still alive, right? It's a threat to her, and even if it's not a threat, she won't stay. It's something that the Queen Mother is very familiar with."
Chen Zaiyan asked: "If I want to beg you, I can...please give me a glass of wine so that I can drink it before I go on my way."
Mu Changyan waved his hand: "We will all be taken away by Gu and imprisoned in Tianji Palace. No one is allowed to approach!"
"Meet the King."
A civilian official from outside walked in quickly: "Sir, we are ready."
"I will not harm any Yan people who care about this country for the sake of my family."
Chen Zaiyan asked: "Why? What reason do you have to take the huge risk of offending the Queen Mother to help me? All unfounded things, no matter how beautiful they seem, are illusions and scams. So I don't believe a word of your words. If If I tell you the person I trust, your experts from the Criminal Department will immediately pounce on me like dogs and bite my people to pieces. "
Guo Wenli bowed his head and saluted.
Mu Changyan hummed: "I want to go and ask Chen Zaiyan in person if I have wronged him in any way."

He took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, the Queen Mother will think it's a lone hand, so just be more direct."
Mu Changyan waved his hand casually: "Have those traitors confessed?"
Guo Wenli asked: "Is this the only way?"
Once the Queen Mother believed that Ma Ziwei was arrested by Mu Changyan, she would definitely kill Chen Zaiyan and the Ministry of War officials currently in prison as soon as possible.
As the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Guo Wenli is best at observing words and emotions. From Mu Changyan's expression and tone, he vaguely sensed a hint of evil. Although Mu Changyan used the words "those traitors", Guo Wenli's uneasiness became more and more intense.

Mu Changyan looked out the window: "In the past, Gu had never thought that one day the affairs of the Mu family would fall on Gu's shoulders. This family is so heavy that Gu did it without even the slightest preparation. Take over this country. But since I have taken over this country, I cannot let this country be ruined in my hands."
"Back to your Majesty, not yet, but it should be soon."
In the Criminal Department, Chen Zaiyan was dying.
Chen Zaiyan asked: "Why? What reason do you have to take the huge risk of offending the Queen Mother to help me? All unfounded things, no matter how beautiful they seem, are illusions and scams.

Mu Changyan stood up: "You go out now, even if Gu sent you out casually without letting you know what Gu was going to do. In this way, the Queen Mother will not have any doubts about you. Gu will leave now Go to the Criminal Department and take Chen Zaiyan and others away directly."
Guo Wenli lowered his voice and ordered his close associates: "Go to Jinxiu Palace quickly and report to the Queen Mother that the king has come to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and wants to see Chen Zaiyan."
"I'm guilty... I failed to assist the king in reviving the Yan Dynasty. It's my crime. I failed to complete the war against Youguo as soon as possible, which may now cause the country to suffer an unprecedented disaster. It's my crime. I don't dare to slack off for a day. Every day I only sleep for two hours a day. If I had known this day, I would not be willing to waste even one hour. This is my sin... "
He sat in front of Chen Zaiyan: "You can tell me who of your people outside is trustworthy. I will bring your message to him, and then arrange for them to rescue your family from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."
As the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Guo Wenli is best at observing words and emotions. From Mu Changyan's expression and tone, he vaguely sensed a hint of evil. Although Mu Changyan used the words "those traitors", Guo Wenli's uneasiness became more and more intense.
Mu Changyan's eyes were red and the corners of his eyes were moist. He glanced at Chen Zaiyan and then at Guo Wenli, who was kneeling on the ground. He raised his hand and rubbed his red eyes and shouted angrily at Chen Zaiyan: "Bold traitor! I trust you so much, and you actually do such a treasonous thing. I came here just to hear what you have got." explain!"
"Be bold!"
The confidant turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by two young guards brought by Mu Changyan: "For the safety of the king, everyone should not come in or out for the time being. The security here is temporarily under the responsibility of our guards from Tianji Palace. You all should go back. "
Mu Changyan thought for a while and then said: "Actually, no matter who captured Ma Ziwei, the Queen Mother will think that Ma Ziwei was captured alone, right?"
"Back to your Majesty, not yet, but it should be soon."

Guo Wenli walked up to Chen Zaiyan, took out his handkerchief and wiped the blood on Chen Zaiyan's face. Then he walked back and brought a cup of tea to Chen Zaiyan. Chen Zaiyan did not resist and drank the cup of tea in one gulp.

Guo Wenli said: "Mr. Chen... In fact, you are a very smart person. Although you and I are not very familiar with each other and have no personal relationship, I want to respect you as a person. To be honest, I am very fond of people like you. Admiration, because I am not someone like you.”
After saying that, Mu Changyan turned around and left.
Several big men like wolves and tigers rushed over, grabbed Chen Zaiyan's hand and pressed it on the confession.
How could Guo Wenli dare to say no: "Exactly, your Majesty is absolutely right. Such a traitor should be seen clearly by everyone in the world."
Mu Changyan said: "Well, tomorrow is the Autumn Ceremony. I want these traitors who want to overthrow our country of Yan to see how prosperous our country is. I will take them away today and tomorrow At the Qiucheng Ceremony, let them kneel in front of everyone and look at the beautiful mountains and rivers under Gu's rule. Let all the students who attend the Qiucheng Ceremony see the fate of these traitors."
After saying this, Mu Changyan strode in.
Mu Changyan said: "That's not necessary, Gu Xin can beat you."
Guo Wenli took the confession and looked at it. Basically, there was no discrepancy with what Jinxiu Palace had told him.

An Chengli said quickly: "But in this case, the king will have no way out."
In the Criminal Department, Chen Zaiyan was dying.
"Serve me to change my clothes."

An Chengli lowered his head and said, "The king is rightly worried. The Queen Mother may indeed be eager to get rid of Chen Zaiyan. Once Chen Zaiyan dies, even if Ma Ziwei is in our hands, it will be meaningless. "
Guo Wenli said: "I am the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. As long as I relax a little bit, it won't be difficult for your men to suddenly break in and rescue your family."
Chen Zaiyan smiled, and as soon as he smiled, blood flowed from his mouth: "Of course I know that I will die, and I also know that there is no room for reversal in this matter, and no miracle will happen. But I also know very well that if If I really admit these things, it will not be me or my family who will die. It is a serious crime of treason and will implicate the nine ethnic groups... I have not sorry for this country, let alone my family."
An Chengli said quickly: "But in this case, the king will have no way out."

After changing clothes, Mu Changyan strode forward.
Chen Zaiyan asked: "Why? What reason do you have to take the huge risk of offending the Queen Mother to help me? All unfounded things, no matter how beautiful they seem, are illusions and scams. So I don't believe a word of your words. If If I tell you the person I trust, your experts from the Criminal Department will immediately pounce on me like dogs and bite my people to pieces. "

"I'm guilty... I failed to assist the king in reviving the Yan Dynasty. It's my crime. I failed to complete the war against Youguo as soon as possible, which may now cause the country to suffer an unprecedented disaster. It's my crime. I don't dare to slack off for a day. Every day I only sleep for two hours a day. If I had known this day, I would not be willing to waste even one hour. This is my sin... "
Guo Wenli quickly waved his hand and asked all his men to step aside. Then he straightened his clothes and walked out quickly. When they arrived at the door of the prison, King Yan Mu Changyan had already strode in.
In the Criminal Department, Chen Zaiyan was dying.
Mu Changyan stood up: "You go out now, even if Gu sent you out casually without letting you know what Gu was going to do. In this way, the Queen Mother will not have any doubts about you. Gu will leave now Go to the Criminal Department and take Chen Zaiyan and others away directly."
Mu Changyan said: "Gu... In fact, there is no way out for a long time. Either live to save Dayan of the Mu family, or die to save Dayan of the Mu family. These are the only two options."
Mu Changyan trembled and said: "How dare you, at this moment, you are still trying to deceive me with your sweet words. Do you really think that I don't know the evil deeds you have done? You are guilty of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and you will be implicated in the nine tribes. I just want to hear, you Now I have nothing else to say to you."
Mu Changyan hummed: "I want to go and ask Chen Zaiyan in person if I have wronged him in any way."
Guo Wenli said: "Mr. Chen... In fact, you are a very smart person. Although you and I are not very familiar with each other and have no personal relationship, I want to respect you as a person. To be honest, I am very fond of people like you. Admiration, because I am not someone like you.”
Guo Wenli said: "Now your family members are all locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Punishments. Where they are locked up, how many people are guarding them, and their rotations. Only I know these things. So you should believe what I say, and besides me, you should believe what I say." You have no one to trust."
He waved his hand: "Has the confession prepared for Mr. Chen been written?"
Guo Wenli said: "Mr. Chen... In fact, you are a very smart person. Although you and I are not very familiar with each other and have no personal relationship, I want to respect you as a person. To be honest, I am very fond of people like you. Admiration, because I am not someone like you.”
Chen Zaiyan said: "Master Guo, you don't have to say this hypocritically. It's not you who wants me dead, but the Queen Mother. How could the Queen Mother leave hidden dangers for herself? I, Chen Zaiyan, still have one member of my family who is still alive, right? It's a threat to her, and even if it's not a threat, she won't stay. It's something that the Queen Mother is very familiar with."
Chen Zaiyan looked at Mu Changyan and said: "After my death... Your Majesty has lost another helper. Please take care of yourself."
Mu Changyan waved his hand casually: "Have those traitors confessed?"
Guo Wenli said: "Mr. Chen... In fact, you are a very smart person. Although you and I are not very familiar with each other and have no personal relationship, I want to respect you as a person. To be honest, I am very fond of people like you. Admiration, because I am not someone like you.”
Mu Changyan stood up: "You go out now, even if Gu sent you out casually without letting you know what Gu was going to do. In this way, the Queen Mother will not have any doubts about you. Gu will leave now Go to the Criminal Department and take Chen Zaiyan and others away directly."
Mu Changyan turned his back to Guo Wenli and said: "You are a traitor, and you have no intention of repenting even when you are about to die. It seems that I really misjudged you."
After saying this, Mu Changyan strode in.
Guo Wenli walked up to Chen Zaiyan, took out his handkerchief and wiped the blood on Chen Zaiyan's face. Then he walked back and brought a cup of tea to Chen Zaiyan. Chen Zaiyan did not resist and drank the cup of tea in one gulp.
Guo Wenli opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
An Chengli lowered his head and said, "The king is rightly worried. The Queen Mother may indeed be eager to get rid of Chen Zaiyan. Once Chen Zaiyan dies, even if Ma Ziwei is in our hands, it will be meaningless. "
Guo Wenli sighed: "I will try my best to find a way to protect your family."
He waved his hand: "Has the confession prepared for Mr. Chen been written?"
Several big men like wolves and tigers rushed over, grabbed Chen Zaiyan's hand and pressed it on the confession.
He turned around sharply and said, "Guo Wenli, shouldn't such a vicious thief be exposed to the whole world as a warning?"
A civilian official from outside walked in quickly: "Sir, we are ready."
"Be bold!"
Once the Queen Mother believed that Ma Ziwei was arrested by Mu Changyan, she would definitely kill Chen Zaiyan and the Ministry of War officials currently in prison as soon as possible.
"Meet the King."
After saying that, Mu Changyan turned around and left.
He waved his hand: "Has the confession prepared for Mr. Chen been written?"
"Be bold!"
Guo Wenli's face kept changing. After being silent for a while, he sighed: "I said, I am in awe of people like you... But I have no other choice, so I can't change anything. Since you don't want to admit it, Then I have to admit it for you."
How could Guo Wenli dare to say no: "Exactly, your Majesty is absolutely right. Such a traitor should be seen clearly by everyone in the world."
Chen Zaiyan, who was covered in blood, raised his head and said, "When I do things, I stand upright. The people under me are all good men who stand upright. If one of us dies, it will be a loss for Dayan. People like us The more people die, the fewer people will die, and the number of people like you will increase."
Chen Zaiyan asked: "If I want to beg you, I can...please give me a glass of wine so that I can drink it before I go on my way."
Of course he knew that Chen Zaiyan was innocent, and of course he knew how much Chen Zaiyan's death would hit Dayan. It is very likely to affect the battle situation on the front line. In the worst case, Dayan may fall into an unprecedented predicament. But he had no other choice. The pressure on him from Jinxiu Palace was too great.
Guo Wenli, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, stared at him personally, his eyes twinkling.
After saying this, Mu Changyan strode in.
Mu Changyan said: "Well, tomorrow is the Autumn Ceremony. I want these traitors who want to overthrow our country of Yan to see how prosperous our country is. I will take them away today and tomorrow At the Qiucheng Ceremony, let them kneel in front of everyone and look at the beautiful mountains and rivers under Gu's rule. Let all the students who attend the Qiucheng Ceremony see the fate of these traitors."
Guo Wenli said: "I have something important to ask him to do."
"Serve me to change my clothes."
Chen Zaiyan smiled, and as soon as he smiled, blood flowed from his mouth: "Of course I know that I will die, and I also know that there is no room for reversal in this matter, and no miracle will happen. But I also know very well that if If I really admit these things, it will not be me or my family who will die. It is a serious crime of treason and will implicate the nine ethnic groups... I have not sorry for this country, let alone my family."
As the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Guo Wenli is best at observing words and emotions. From Mu Changyan's expression and tone, he vaguely sensed a hint of evil. Although Mu Changyan used the words "those traitors", Guo Wenli's uneasiness became more and more intense.
Mu Changyan wasn't sure what kind of chaos there was in Jinxiu Palace, but he did have a headache because An Zheng had captured Ma Ziwei back. This incident may be said to be a turning point, but it may also be an acceleration of the worst outcome.
Mu Changyan stopped shouting, and Guo Wenli was so frightened that he knelt down: "Your Majesty..."
"Serve me to change my clothes."
Guo Wenli put the tea cup back and said after a moment of silence: "I know what you said is right, but some things still depend on man-made things. You should believe me, although in your heart I am not a person worth trusting. I can't say it openly. Save your family, but maybe only I can do it in the dark."
Mu Changyan waved his hand: "We will all be taken away by Gu and imprisoned in Tianji Palace. No one is allowed to approach!"
He waved his hand: "Has the confession prepared for Mr. Chen been written?"
"I will not harm any Yan people who care about this country for the sake of my family."
After saying that, Mu Changyan turned around and left.
"Back to your Majesty, not yet, but it should be soon."
After changing clothes, Mu Changyan strode forward.
Guo Wenli took the confession and looked at it. Basically, there was no discrepancy with what Jinxiu Palace had told him. He nodded: "Go and get a few people to help Mr. Chen put his fingerprints on this confession. After pressing the fingerprints, there is no need to torture Mr. Chen... Go ahead and give Mr. Chen whatever he needs. Okay. Wine and food are all provided.”
Of course he knew that Chen Zaiyan was innocent, and of course he knew how much Chen Zaiyan's death would hit Dayan. It is very likely to affect the battle situation on the front line. In the worst case, Dayan may fall into an unprecedented predicament. But he had no other choice. The pressure on him from Jinxiu Palace was too great.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Serve me to change my clothes."
Guo Wenli opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.
Guo Wenli was speechless and didn't know what to do for a moment. Seven or eight guards from Tianji Palace sealed the aisles and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Even if he was a member of the Queen Mother, he would not dare to openly confront King Yan.
Mu Changyan stopped shouting, and Guo Wenli was so frightened that he knelt down: "Your Majesty..."
Once the Queen Mother believed that Ma Ziwei was arrested by Mu Changyan, she would definitely kill Chen Zaiyan and the Ministry of War officials currently in prison as soon as possible.
