Daily life of captives

When the first snow fell this year, the emperor sent Li Shao to leave the capital for business, and he went to Lingnan, the place farthest from Chang'an within Li.

At first Changsun Boyi clamored to go with Li Shao, but General Changsun wanted to take Changsun Boyi to Shannan Road to suppress bandits, but Changsun Boyi hesitated again and again and decided to go with General Changsun to suppress bandits.

Changsun Boyi felt that although he was born with wealth, if he wanted to be a man worthy of Li Shao, he had to make some military exploits and make a name for himself by relying on his own strength. He's just a minor general, he has to be a great general, only then can he be qualified to be Li Shao's reliance.

Li Shao also felt that he could not tie Changsun Boyi with him wherever he went, so he also very much agreed with Changsun Boyi's decision.

The journey from Chang'an to Lingnan is long, and it will take more than half a month even if you go fast, not to mention that Li Shao has to do some other things along the way, and this delay will take even longer.

In the past, Li Shao never cared about these things, he was used to such a long-distance travel, but this time Li Shao was a little anxious, the closer he was to Lingnan, the more anxious Li Shao was, as no one had arrived yet, Li Shao I just wanted to get things done quickly so that I could get back to Chang'an as soon as possible.

However, on the day when Li Shao arrived in Lingnan, Li Shao first received the news from Anbu entrusted by Qinglang to convey to him, and then he received a letter from Yongning Feige, and the two people told him the same thing , that is, the Changsun family colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country, and everyone in the family was sent to the prison.

Li Shao didn't know how he got back to Chang'an, when he came back to his senses, the majestic imperial palace was close in front of him, so Li Shao rushed into the imperial study.

"Father!"

In the imperial study room, the emperor was conversing with Li Zheng and several ministers, when he heard Li Shao's voice, the emperor frowned.

"You all leave."

Upon hearing this, several ministers immediately left the imperial study room. What is rare is that this time Li Zheng did not show any displeasure, and left with the others with a smile.

However, at this time Li Shao didn't want to think about Li Zheng's matter, rushed to the emperor and shouted in a panic: "Father, how could General Changsun be collaborating with the enemy and treason? Someone must have framed him!"

The emperor put on a straight face, and asked Li Shao in a cold voice: "Sanlang, have you finished the matter in Lingnan?"

Li Shao was taken aback for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head and said, "No..."

The emperor snorted coldly, and said: "Sanlang, you have really grown up, your wings are hardened, and you can actually buy people around me."

"My son doesn't have any!"

"You didn't? Who told you about the eldest grandson's family?"

"I..." Li Shao was dumb, and then regretted it.

He shouldn't just rush to find his father like this, knowing that his father is shrewd, he should be more calm, he should have planned to come again... But he has come all the time, and he can't control so much!

"Father, how could General Changsun collude with the enemy and treason the country? There must be some misunderstanding! General Changsun has been loyal for so many years, Father, you should think twice!"

The emperor said in a deep voice: "General Changsun, is he really collaborating with the enemy and treason? Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs will investigate and prosecute this matter. You don't need to worry about this matter. You should immediately set off and return to Lingnan to finish what I ordered."

Staring at the emperor, Li Shao suddenly said firmly: "I will not leave, and I will not leave the imperial city until the matter of the eldest grandson's family is settled!"

Even if the father is old, no one in Chang'an City can fool the father. With Qinglang and Anbu, no one can frame loyal officials under the eyes of the father. In other words, the reason why the eldest grandson's family will be imprisoned , All of this was designed by the father, who wanted to get rid of the eldest grandson's family.

"Sanlang, don't you even listen to my words?" The emperor looked at Li Shao with a gloomy expression.

Li Shao replied without fear: "I failed to save my mother and concubine back then, now I must not stand by and let the eldest grandson's family repeat the same mistakes as my mother and concubine!"

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "What if it is my wish to make the eldest grandson's family disappear from this world? You don't want to help me fulfill my wish?"

Li Shao shook his head without hesitation: "I won't help you. Father, you can't do this. No matter who you want to get rid of before, I have never objected to you, but you can't move General Changsun. If it moves, the court will be in turmoil, and the Li country will have no peace!"

"What a general of the Li Kingdom will have no peace, and I want to see what will happen if our Li Kingdom loses a general!" The emperor shouted angrily, "Come on, take His Highness into the sky prison and keep him under strict supervision! Since he doesn't want to Li Jing, let him watch carefully! Without my imperial decree, no one is allowed to visit him!"

Li Shao turned pale with shock: "Father, please! Please let the eldest grandson's family go! In the future, I will listen to you, please! Father!"

But the emperor didn't say another word, and even turned around with his back to Li Shao, allowing Li Shao to be escorted away and taken to the prison.

Although the emperor issued an order that no one was allowed to visit, but the next day Yongning disguised himself as a jailer and entered the prison.

At that time, Li Shao was sitting in the shadow of the cell, silently, if he hadn't seen Li Shao's legs with sharp eyes, Yong Ning would have thought the cell was empty.

"Your Highness..."

Hearing the sound, Li Shao raised his head slowly, and was stunned for a moment when he saw a jailer standing outside the cell, and after a second look, he saw that it was Yong Ning who was disguised as a jailer.

Li Shao got up and walked out of the shadows, then sat down with his back against the railing: "How is it?"

Yong Ning also squatted down, and whispered behind Li Shao: "Dali Temple has made a verdict, and the Ministry of Punishment has also fixed the punishment."

"How to punish?"

The verdict was made so quickly...

Yongning was a little hard to speak.

After not hearing Yong Ning's voice for a while, Li Shao said again: "Speak, I know Father will not let them go."

Yong Ning sighed, and said: "General Changsun will be beheaded in public in two days, and the rest of the Changsun family will be exiled to Lingnan."

Hearing this, Li Shao closed his eyes and said with pain in his heart: "It's my fault. If I hadn't been reckless yesterday, Father would not have ordered Dali Temple to make a judgment so soon...Yongning, find a way to get me out."

Yong Ning's eyes froze, and he asked nervously, "What are you going to do, Your Highness?"

Li Shao said firmly: "Even to rob the law field, I will take them all away!"

"Your Highness!" Yong Ning was so frightened that his heart almost stopped beating, "Your Highness, please calm down, the Taifu and Taiwei are all pleading for General Changsun, there may be a turning point for the matter!"

"There will be no turning point," Li Shao laughed, "The more people plead for General Changsun, the more Emperor Father will not change his mind.

Father is no longer the father he used to be. He used to have a broad mind and embrace the world, but now he is only worried that the power in his hands will be taken away by others.In the final analysis, it was still my fault. If I hadn't intentionally opposed my father these few years, my father wouldn't be so impatient...

Yongning, help me this time. "

"I see." What Li Shao said, Yong Ning actually knew very well in his heart, he just didn't want to put Li Shao in danger, "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will make arrangements."

"I have caused you to follow me in fear, help me to say sorry to Qinghe."

Hearing Li Shao mentioning Lin Qinghe, Yong Ning chuckled and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, Qinghe is more keen on helping you solve your problems than me. From the day General Changsun was imprisoned, she urged me to rob the prison, because I have not acted for a long time, so she has been angry with me these few days."

Hearing this, Li Shao couldn't help but laugh.

The waiting time is always long, but in just two days, Li Shao had the illusion that he had been in the cell for 200 years, and felt that he was about to take root in this cold and damp place.

After finally waiting for the person to rob the prison, Li Shao followed the person and ran out of the prison unimpeded, but before he had time to rejoice, the way ahead was blocked by Qing Lang's leader.

"Your Highness." Qing Lang looked at Li Shao with some embarrassment.

Li Shao was taken aback, then smiled helplessly: "I was discovered by my father. But I didn't expect my father to ask you to stop me. He really thinks highly of me."

Qing Lang clenched the sword in his hand, and said in a low voice, "It's not His Majesty, it's... His Highness."

Li Shao was taken aback again: "Forget it, it doesn't matter what, today I have to go no matter what."

"I know," Qing Lang looked at Li Shao and smiled, "Your Highness loves you so much, how could you stand by and watch? I brought Mo Yang here."

With that said, Qing Lang took the Mo Yang Sword from a person behind him, raised his hand and threw it to Li Shao.

Li Shao raised his hand to catch Mo Yang, but looked at Qing Lang with some embarrassment: "Qing Lang, I don't want to..."

"Your Highness," Qing Lang interrupted Li Shao, "I really want to let His Highness go to save General Changsun like this, but...but Your Highness is very similar to His Majesty today, if we just let His Highness go like this, we will definitely be worse off." To die, it is better to die under His Highness's sword, and you can also get relief, but I am sorry for His Highness, it will make His Highness feel uncomfortable."

Li Shao closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then pulled out Mo Yang when he opened his eyes again: "If that's the case, come on, I don't have much time."

Although Qinglang said that, after the fight really started, no one wanted to die. By the time Li Shao raped Mo Yang on Qinglang's heart, more than half an hour had passed. To ensure that the robbery of the prison and the execution ground went smoothly, he specially ordered someone to come and take Li Shao out of the prison an hour before the execution, and then rushed to the execution ground to rob people, but Qing Lang was so delayed, Li Shao was left with nothing but to half an hour.
