The two left the palace and went to the dark prison.

A section of the road leading to the dark prison was paved with concrete, and the carriage was driving on it, which was much smoother than in other places.

Shen Yu lifted the curtain of the car and looked out: "When Da Huan is paved with roads like this, it will be much easier to go back and forth."

"When there is a chance in the future, I will take you to go around Dahuan."

"Okay, Your Majesty said you can't go back on it."

The dark prison was brightly lit and surrounded by layers of forbidden troops.

Shen Yu got off the carriage behind Shang Junlin, and said with emotion: "This is probably the most lively time in the dark prison."

Isn't that right, in addition to the forbidden army, there are so many prison robbers, Shen Yu seriously doubts whether the dark prison can hold these people.

the other side.

When he learned that the secret order and the manpower were taken away by the eldest son He, the head of the family was furious: "Are you all idiots, let him take things away?! Didn't I say that no one can touch these things except me?! "

"Master, you really can't blame us," the servant wanted to cry without tears, "the eldest son took your letter and said that you ordered him to come. You also told us before that you are going to do something tonight. Let's be alert, we thought you really sent the eldest son here."

This matter really can only be said that Mr. He is too good at picking time.

In the end, he is his eldest son, and the He family will not deliberately hide it from him when he is in charge of affairs. Except for some things that he can't really know, he will reveal more or less other things to the eldest son He.

What happened this time is also that the head of the He family didn't have much defense against the eldest son He at all, and was easily duped.

"As for the letter, show it to me."

The servant shivered and took out a letter.

Patriarch He took it over and read it, and he was about to laugh angrily. The handwriting and tone of the letter were almost the same as what he wrote himself. No wonder the servants didn't have any doubts, plus the time difference of Mr. He, he didn't let anyone. People were suspicious and took them away.

"Master, we, what should we do now?"

"That wicked son probably knows where his younger brother is, and brought people to save them. Let's see if you can chase them back. If you can, there is still a chance. If you can't..."

The servant did not dare to delay in the slightest, and immediately went out, but before he could go far, he saw a group of forbidden troops approaching here.

In front of the well-trained Imperial Army, the He family had no resistance at all. The He family master gritted his teeth and withdrew to the secret passage with a few confidants.

He really raised a good son in vain!

In the end, the head of the He family and his eldest son, who was "mind and miss", reunited in the dark prison.

When Shen Yu and Shang Junlin came over, everyone had already been caught.

Shen Yu and Shang Junlin walked into the dark prison. The dark prison was full of torches, as bright as day. It was the first time that Shen Yu looked at the dark prison under such light.

He family head and He Da Gongzi were detained next to He Xiao Gongzi, Yue Wang was detained in another place, some of the remaining prisoners were executed on the spot, and some were detained together.

King Yue heard the movement in the dark prison long ago. He thought that these people were here to save him, but he didn't expect that these people didn't stay in the place where he was imprisoned. .

From the beginning to the end, the King of Yue has become dumbfounded. He has been in contact with the outside world these days. Those people also said that they would rescue him today. He waited and waited with anticipation. Didn't even look at him.

Special officials are responsible for the interrogation, and Shang Junlin brought Shen Yu over just to see how the situation was.

The head of the Imperial Army followed the two of them, explaining what had happened tonight as they walked.

"My subordinates, according to His Majesty's instructions, sent people to observe the eldest son of the He family secretly, while guarding the gates of the dark prison. Sure enough, a group of people of unknown origin met with the eldest son of the He family, and then came straight to the dark prison..."

The rest is clear at a glance. Young Master He, who was eager to save his younger brother, did not know that he had stepped into a trap carefully prepared by hunters from the very beginning. companion.

After sending away the commander of the forbidden army, Shang Junlin brought Shen Yu to the place where the King of Yue was imprisoned.

"You expected it earlier, didn't you? You acquiesced that I could send a letter to the outside world. You have been waiting for this moment, haven't you?" Calm down, King Yue thought of a lot of details.

Why when he first entered the dark prison, after trying his best, he couldn't get in touch with people outside, and then suddenly he was able to get in touch one day? In addition, there are still many things that are not right. At that time, he was in a hurry to go out, and even if he noticed it, he didn't take it seriously. Looking back now, there are not too many flaws.

"King Yue was considered smart for a while, but it's a pity, even if they wanted to save you again, they didn't dare to show up in person, they only dared to send some people over and hand them over to the unreliable He family." Shang Junlin sneered.

The King of Yue hated extremely in his heart, but now that he lost a crushing defeat, he could only watch Shang Junlin stand in front of him in the posture of a winner.

He is an aloof emperor, looking down on everything, while he is a prisoner who has been crushed into the dust, and the road ahead is unknown.

Shen Yu was also looking at King Yue. The gap between the current King Yue and the man in his previous life was too great, so big that he began to doubt, are they really the same person?

It turned out that without the so-called aura of the protagonist, without the praises that were deliberately imposed on him, he was just such an ordinary person.

Handing over the prison robbery to Mr. Fang who came in a hurry, Shang Junlin returned to the palace with Shen Yu.

Along the way, Shen Yu didn't speak. After arriving at Yuzhang Palace, Shang Junlin directly carried the person off the carriage.

"Ayu is still thinking about King Yue?"

Shen Yu shook his head and nodded again. He was thinking more about the past life. He thought that the book he saw in his previous life and the book he read after his death was the whole truth. At this moment, he suddenly realized that the two There are places that are confusing.

Sure enough, you can't rely too much on the so-called world plot.

Shang Junlin didn't put the person down, and walked in directly with his arms in his arms. Wherever he passed by, the palace servants bowed their heads one after another.

Shen Yu fluttered: "Your Majesty, let me down."

"Don't let it go." Shang Junlin refused.

"A lot of people are watching..."

"Isn't it just right for me to hug my noble lord? I can not only hug, but also kiss, can..."

"Okay," Shen Yu didn't want him to continue, and interrupted, "Your Majesty can hug me if you want, as long as Your Majesty doesn't dislike me."

"How can I think that Ayu is heavy, Ayu should grow a little more flesh, it's comfortable to hold." Shang Jun weighed the young man in his arms. For him, the weight of depression is really nothing.

From a minor illness to a big one, although he has recovered a little during this period of time, Shen Yu's weight is still much lighter than a normal person.

The He family was taken down in one fell swoop, looking for clues of the He family, and finally found the clues of the mysterious force behind them.

Although couldn't find the real person behind the scenes, it was much better than the previous clueless.

The officials who were disposed of some time ago vacated a lot of positions. Shang Junlin arranged the officials who were transferred back from the local government one by one, and the officials who were newly appointed to the imperial examinations gradually entered the court, and everything seemed to be prosperous.

The Taiwei who planned the fraud in the imperial examination was seized and transferred to the nine clans, and the position of Taiwei was vacated.

In order to compete for this position, the aristocratic family and the officials of the poor family fought to the death in the court.

Especially the aristocratic family, they have lost too much. If the person who takes the position of the captain is not of their faction, it will be a huge blow to them.

As a group of new officials promoted by Shang Junlin got on the right track, the situation that the family monopolized the court for many years was finally broken, and the post of Taiwei was never settled because of the interference of the family.

These disputes did not affect the peace of the Hanlin Academy for the time being.

"You two came together again?"

Jiang Huaiqing smiled and said hello to the person who was speaking, and replied, "I rubbed Brother Chengyu's carriage, you know, I've been a little shy recently."

The reason is that Jiang Huaiqing took a fancy to a set of unique books, and he really wanted it so much that he was worried that others would buy it later, so he had to buy it reluctantly.

"I know, when you finish copying it, don't forget to lend it to us too."

"Won't forget."

Jiang Huaiqing and He Chengyu were on duty together. At first, Jiang Huaiqing had some scruples and refused to get too close to him. Later, seeing that his colleagues were very easy to get along with, he acted a lot more casually.

He still lives with He Chengyu now. The two go in and out together. Everyone in the Hanlin Academy knows that they have a good relationship and jokes from time to time.

It took ten days for Jiang Huaiqing to go from being embarrassed at the beginning to now facing it calmly.

"By the way, the dossier you asked me to find for you last time, I seem to have found a volume here, do you want to come and see it?"

"Thank you!" Jiang Huaiqing's eyes lit up.

"It's been decades, what are you looking for?" The man was curious.

"Some admired the great Confucians of the past, and wanted to know more about them." Jiang Huaiqing explained with a smile.

"Yes, you are indeed interested in these, and I will help you pay more attention to the others." He didn't have any doubts, after all, Jiang Huaiqing's hobby has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the Hanlin Academy. It is normal to be interested in the great Confucian deeds of various eras.

Fortunately, he and Zhuangyuan He are on good terms and can be helped from time to time.

Shen Yu occasionally receives letters from Jiang Huaiqing, which are all about some daily interesting things, and Shen Yu will also write a little reply.

For some reason, Shen Yu found that Shang Junlin didn't seem to like to mention the King of Yue in front of him recently. Even if he asked, he would be taken off topic after two or three sentences.

"Why does Your Majesty suddenly don't want to tell me about King Yue?" After being diverted from the topic again, Shen Yu asked, he wanted to know if Shang Junlin simply didn't want him to know about King Yue, or did he not want to let him know about King Yue together with other things. he knows.

Shang Junlin rubbed his gloomy neck and said dumbly, "I took you to the dark prison that day, but it was actually selfish."

"Huh?" Shen Yu was stunned.

"I know that when I was outside the palace, King Yue approached you, I want you to see it, King Yue..."

"Your Majesty," Shen Yu interrupted Shang Junlin, "Your Majesty cares about this?"

Shang Junlin looked at him deeply.

The more he loves a person, the more intolerable that person has any shadow of others, whether he is domineering or paranoid, he doesn't want others to occupy Shen Yu's eyes and mind. He realized more deeply that King Yue was not worthy of his liking.

After a long while, Shang Junlin held Shen Yu's hand: "I thought that I could not care about Ayu's affairs outside the palace, but I was wrong, I couldn't do it, and everything that happened to Ayu, I can't help but care."

"What Ayu said to King Yue at the time was true? Did Ayu really just use King Yue as my stand-in?"
