My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 73
Jin Yiwei Imperial Prison, everyone in the capital changed color when they heard about it.

Jin Zhong never imagined that he would be imprisoned here one day.

Even when he woke up this morning, Jin Zhong looked at the damp and moldy walls, touched the straw under his body, and the pungent smell from the urine bucket in the corner made him wonder if he was in a nightmare?
But after calming down, Jin Zhong felt something was wrong.

Prince Zhu Gaochi is not a reckless person, why did the court suddenly object to moving the capital yesterday?Even if he disagrees, there is obviously a better way to deal with it, and there is no need to confront His Majesty head-on.

In addition, Jin Zhong couldn't figure it out even more. He just objected to Zhu Di's grounding of the prince, but he just found a reason to put him in prison. This was completely inconsistent with Jin Zhong's understanding of Zhu Di.

"Is there something I don't know about this?"

Jin Zhong sorted out everything in detail, and finally whispered to himself.

But at this moment, the prison door was opened, and Jin Yiwei Commander Ji Gang walked in with a smile.

"Jin Shangshu, I offended you yesterday, I hope you don't mind!"

Ji Gang bowed his hand to Jin Zhong very politely.

"Commander Ji is being polite, His Majesty sent you to let me out?"

Jin Zhong stroked his beard and smiled.

The moment he saw Ji Gang coming in, Jin Zhong felt that he could go out. After all, he hadn't committed any major crimes, and it was impossible for Zhu Di to lock him up forever.

"That's not true, but His Majesty sent someone to send something."

As Ji Gang said, he waved, and immediately four Jinyi guards walked in carrying two large boxes, and then put them heavily on the ground.

Puzzled, Jin Zhong stepped forward to open the box, only to find that it was full of memorials and official documents.

"This is……"

Jin Zhong was even more puzzled, wondering what the hell Zhu Di was doing?

"Your Majesty ordered you to stay in the imperial prison with peace of mind for the time being, and by the way, help to review all these memorials again."

Ji Gang said again with a smile.

"Review these in the imperial prison?"

Jin Zhong wondered if he really didn't wake up, otherwise how could he encounter such an outrageous thing?
"Of course, Your Majesty knows that Jin Shangshu is too old to finish the review by himself, so he asked me to find some helpers for you!"

Ji Gang waved again as he spoke, and then the three prisoners were brought in.

"Jin Shangshu! Why are you here?"

The leading prisoner screamed in surprise when he saw Jin Zhong, and the other two also showed expressions of disbelief.

"Huang Huai, Yang Pu, Jin Wen!"

Jin Zhong was also quite pleasantly surprised to see the three of them. These three were all his old subordinates. Last year, they were all imprisoned in prison because they were slow to meet the driver. He did not expect to see them in this situation.

"Jin Shangshu, it's okay for you to reminisce about the past, but can we get down to business first?"

Ji Gang asked again with a smile.

Although Jin Yiwei is extremely powerful, not everyone dares to provoke him. For example, King Han and Zhao Wang, Yao Guangxiao and Jin Zhong are all on the list that Jin Yiwei dare not provoke.

"Since it is His Majesty's will, this old man should obey it."

Jin Zhong nodded first, then looked around the dark cell, and then asked: "Commander Ji doesn't want us to review these memorials here, does he?"

"Hey, look at my brain. I was negligent. I'll take you to a place where you can write."

As Ji Gang said, he personally led the way and led Jin Zhong and the others out of the cell.

In the end, Ji Gang took them to a separate small courtyard behind the imperial prison. There were three main rooms here, with desks, paper and ink inside, which could barely be used for official business.

"Jin Shangshu, the four of you are here to handle official business with peace of mind, if you need anything, feel free to mention it to me!"

Ji Gang finally confessed again, and then took the people away.

"Jin Shangshu, what is going on here, why are you locked up here, and where did the memorials in these two boxes come from?"

Huang Huai was impatient, and asked a series of questions at once. They were locked in the imperial prison and knew nothing about the outside world.

"This matter has to start from yesterday's court meeting, Prince..."

Jin Zhong first talked about yesterday's court meeting, Zhu Gaochi's grounding, and Zhu Gaoxu's temporary replacement of the crown prince.

"What! His Royal Highness has been emptied, and now the power is in the hands of the King of Han!"

Huang Huai was shocked when he heard this. As Zhu Gaochi's confidants, the last thing they wanted to hear was this news.

"This is impossible. The prince is not such a reckless person, how could he openly contradict His Majesty?"

Jin Wen shook his head again and again, with a look of disbelief.

Only Yang Pu remained silent, but frowned.

"But that's how it happened. Because I opposed His Majesty's grounding of the prince, I was sent to prison."

Jin Zhong said with a wry smile.

"Jin Shangshu, what happened to those memorials?"

Yang Pu, who had not spoken all the time, finally asked, pointing to the two boxes.

"I don't know either. Your Majesty asked Ji Gang to bring me an oral order, saying that I should stay in the imperial prison and help deal with these memorials. You are my assistants."

Jin Zhong replied again.

"Strange, why is this incident a bit weird from the beginning to the end?"

Yang Pu frowned and said to himself.

"Don't think about it for now, let's see what these memorials are about?"

Jin Zhong suggested at this time, reaching out to pick up a memorial and reading it.

"Hey, it has already been approved?"

Jin Zhong couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the end.

Huang Huai and the others immediately surrounded him when they heard the words, and they saw that there was already a review behind them.

"This word... why is it so familiar..."

Jin Zhong frowned as he looked at the comments, and finally slammed the table and said, "I remembered, this is Hanwang's handwriting!"

Jin Zhong is the Chief History Officer of Prince Yan, and he is very familiar with the handwriting of Zhu Gaoxu and the three brothers, so he recognized them at a glance.

"I understand. Your Majesty asked the King of Han to act as the crown prince temporarily. These memorials should have been reviewed by the prince, but now the King of Han will review them."

Huang Huai also came to his senses at this time, and said with grief and indignation.

"But why did His Majesty send it to the imperial prison, let us review it again?"

Jin Zhong still couldn't understand this question.

"Murder to punish the heart, Your Majesty is going to kill and punish the heart. As the prince's confidant, how can we serve the King of Han?"

Jin Wen patted the table, and said angrily with red eyes.

"Brother Jin, I think you may be thinking too much."

Unexpectedly, Yang Pu flipped through several memorials at this time, and then handed the memorials to them with a smile.

The three took the memorial and looked at it, Jin Zhong shook his head repeatedly after reading it, Huang Huai stomped his feet angrily, Jin Wen even closed the memorial and said angrily: "Confused! It's a mess, do you think I am not messy enough? "

"The king of Han took over the government affairs, but his ability is not as good as that of the prince, so His Majesty asked us to review the memorials he had reviewed."

Yang Pu added again at this time.

"Then aren't we serving the King of Han in disguise?"

Jin Wen was the first to disagree. They are all Zhu Gaochi's confidantes. Even if they go to prison, they are unwilling to change their families.

"Jin Wen, what you said is wrong. We are not serving the King of Han, but His Majesty!"

Jin Zhong corrected him.

"Jin Shangshu is right. If these memorials are really carried out according to the King of Han's review, it is the people of the world who will suffer. Therefore, when I re-review, it is also for the people of the world, not for the King of Han alone!"

Yang Pu also agreed.

Hearing Jin Zhong and Yang Pu say that, although Huang Huai and Jin Wen were a little reluctant, they finally nodded, so the four of them found a seat and sat down, and began to immerse themselves in reviewing these memorials.

Finally, after being busy for a long time, the four of them reviewed all the memorials again.

At this time, Ji Gang appeared again, took away the reviewed memorials, and sent bedding, asking the four of them to live here temporarily.

The lunch was also specially sent by Ji Gang. Not only is it full of wine and meat, but also the roast duck from Shililou in the capital. Out.

"Commander Ji, these dishes and drinks are also ordered by His Majesty?"

Jin Zhong asked Ji Gang curiously, the food was a bit too rich, and there was even a jug of good wine, it didn't seem like Zhu Di's handwriting.

"That's not true, someone sent it to Jin Shangshu specially for you."

Ji Gang shook his head and smiled.

"Who sent it to me?"

Jin Zhong was taken aback, not everyone could enter the imperial prison, let alone deliver things, this person was able to deliver food and drinks, obviously his status was unusual.

"Don't ask me about this. If the other party won't let me say it, I dare not reveal it."

Ji Gang said again with a hey smile.

Now Jin Zhong is even more curious, even Ji Gang can't afford to offend, so I'm afraid there are only a few limited people in the royal family.

"It's not Your Majesty, the crown prince has been grounded, and the king of Zhao has never had any contact with us. It can't be that the king of Han wanted to thank us for correcting the memorial for him, right?"

Jin Zhong secretly guessed in his heart.

At the same time, Zhu Zhanhe looked at the eerie prison behind him, and couldn't help shaking his head.

He doesn't know if there is hell in this world, but Imperial Prison can definitely be called a hell on earth. If possible, Zhu Zhanhe would never want to come here again in his life.
