The prime minister always builds a floor in the imperial study

"Master Prime Minister, you are in prison now!" Lord Shang Shu was really irritated by these few words of the Prime Minister!

"Master Shangshu, don't you forget that although I am in prison now, my official position has not been removed. I am the head of the six departments, and you are just a minister of the six departments. Big crime!" The prime minister's smiling face disappeared, but at this moment, with a little indifference, Lord Shang Shu was stunned.

The prime minister is indeed in prison, but he has not been tried yet, and no order has been conveyed from above, let alone that the prime minister will be dismissed from office. dragged out of the cell.

"Prime Minister, take a good rest, and the next official will leave first!" This time, Master Shangshu learned to be smart, and after bowing, he took his subordinates and left. The Prime Minister snorted coldly as he looked at his back that was drifting away.

Several hours later, the cell was quiet, and there was another prisoner living in the opposite cell. His whole body was pitch-black, and he couldn't tell what was going on. Prime Minister Lan could feel the other prisoner's eyes on him several times. Looking at himself, the prime minister didn't care, he dug the straw together, made a nest, and pulled the straw from the next door, and lay down on it when he felt soft. Except that the straw irritated the skin a little, everything else was fine. The prime minister closed his eyes.

Because it is dark all year round, the sun cannot shine in, and there is no ventilation at all except for a small window, so the cell is still very humid. The prime minister felt a little unaccustomed to it when he fell asleep. The prime minister still felt a burst of cold air rushing up from under his body. The prime minister opened his eyes and looked out of the window. There was moonlight shining in, and he could see clearly. Because last time there was a fire in Dali Temple, torches were not allowed in the cell. Yes, only by the moonlight can we see it.

The prime minister moved, and suddenly held his breath. Someone was approaching. Although the footsteps were very light, and sometimes there was no footsteps at all, the prime minister could still feel that someone was slowly approaching. The prime minister was not turning over. He squinted his eyes and looked at the person in the opposite cell, but those eyes were still fixed on him.

Suddenly, the person who was staring at him fell to the side, closed his eyes, and his eyes darkened. The Prime Minister squeezed the fan in his hand, and waited for the other party to make a move. The other party was already approaching, and his eyes were dark again. After sweeping over, there was a figure in front of him. When the prime minister saw the figure, he immediately retracted his fan.

"Why are you here!" The Prime Minister looked at the man in front of him who was covered in black clothes.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, the emperor has ordered his subordinates before, if there is any mistake, the hidden guards will be dispatched by the prime minister!" The other party's cold voice came over.

"What's the situation with the emperor?" Lan Shuming asked anxiously.

"Your majesty is fine. Eunuch has already given two medicines, and the third medicine can be given in half an hour, but the poisonous arrow has pierced too deeply. I'm afraid he won't be able to wake up until tomorrow night." The dark guard reported word by word. with.

The prime minister nodded.

"You have been following the emperor, do you know who did it?" The prime minister continued to ask, these hidden guards have been secretly protecting the emperor, they are the most clear about the emperor's affairs, if they are not able to protect the emperor today, that person must be He is also a person who knows the weakness of the dark guard. It is absolutely impossible for the dark guard to appear blatantly in broad daylight. Maybe this person has a different relationship with the emperor. When he was lying on the pile of straw just now, the prime minister thought about this problem, and he had something in his heart. He came up with an answer, but the prime minister didn't want to think about that person, after all, there was a person who was the last person to hurt the emperor!

The dark guard endured it, and then said: "There is already a clue, but the subordinates and others have not found any evidence, so they dare not speak nonsense!"

The prime minister glanced at him, and then said: "Forget it, you can check it at ease."

"Yes!" The man replied and disappeared immediately. The Prime Minister watched the man go away, then looked at the person in the opposite cell, and sneezed. It seemed that he was not dead. The Prime Minister lay down and continued to sleep .

The emperor won't be able to wake up until tomorrow night, but the queen mother is expected to come for interrogation tomorrow morning. It is not an easy thing to delay until night, and the queen mother is also a ghost at the critical moment!

The prime minister lay down and closed his eyes. Luckily, he had the pills his mother gave him, so he didn't feel hungry after taking the pills. He could last a day.

The prime minister endured it, closed his eyes and continued to sleep, only by recovering his energy can he cope with tomorrow's bloody storm!

That night, Li Cheng rushed to the border for [-] miles, and at the same time, Mr. Zhou had already reached the border and started a battle with Beijiang. Fortunately, Mr. Zhou was a talent, and he won this battle.

The next day, the sky brightened very early, and it was still a sunny day.

"Master Prime Minister, come out!" A guard opened the door of the cell and said to the Prime Minister.

"That's right, she's a beauty today, she's deeply in my heart!" The prime minister said with a smile on his face, the corner of the guard's mouth twitched, but he showed no expression.

"How about it, young man, are you willing to go back to the mansion with me?" The prime minister lifted the opponent's chin with a fan, the man tilted his head, and said coldly: "Prime Minister, it's time, let's go!"

The prime minister was in a good mood, and walked a few steps forward with a smile.

The lobby of the Ministry of Punishment is similar to the lobby of the local magistrate. Originally, the Prime Minister was supposed to wear handcuffs and anklets, but for some unknown reason, he didn't, and the Prime Minister just walked in like that.

The sound of being promoted to the hall sounded, the minister of the Ministry of punishment sat on top, and the queen mother also sat aside to listen to the trial. The prime minister was expressionless, and the queen mother was also expressionless.

"Master Prime Minister, why don't you kneel?" It had already begun, but the Prime Minister was still standing straight in the middle of the hall, not showing any emotion.

"Shang Shu, I swear that I will only kneel down to the emperor in my life. Does it mean that Lord Shang Shu also wants to be the emperor!" The prime minister's slightly retorted tone made Shang Shu blush with anger.

"The queen mother is here, and the prime minister doesn't kneel?!" The magistrate's words were a little harsh.

"Truth has said that as long as he is alive, he will only kneel down to the emperor, not to mention the queen mother, even if it is the emperor, he will not kneel. This is the emperor's personal consent. Could it be that Lord Shangshu is going against the emperor's will! "The prime minister glanced at him and said with a sudden smile.

The magistrate immediately choked up, a word stuck in his throat and unable to speak.

"Forget it, Mr. Shang Shu doesn't need to care about these details, let's start the trial quickly!" The queen mother waved her hand and said knowing the prime minister's character.

"Yes, Empress Dowager." Lord Shangshu replied, then turned his head and said to the Prime Minister: "Master Prime Minister, did you arrange the hunting enclosure yesterday?"

"Of course it's the truth!" The prime minister said confidently standing in the middle of the hall.

"The trap in the paddock was also set by you!" It was not like a question, but more like an affirmative sentence.

The prime minister suddenly laughed louder!

"Sir Shangshu, what do you say? This paddock was indeed arranged by me, but I was just talking on paper. The people who really arranged it were people from the Sixth Department, and maybe you from the Ministry of Punishment. Should I say Master Shangshu?" Is this the criminal who murdered the emperor?" The prime minister opened the fan and slapped himself, looking suave and suave.

Lord Shang Shu was so startled by the prime minister's words that he almost fell off his chair. When he turned his head to look at the queen mother, he found that the queen mother had glared at him. Maybe you don't know that there is a trap in this case, even if the prime minister is not the culprit, he is also an accomplice!" The magistrate said sternly to the prime minister again!

"Master Shangshu's words are wrong. I have passed the imperial examination at this age, and my intelligence is definitely above that of ordinary people. If I really want to assassinate the emperor, I can't wait for such a long time. I have been with you for many years. The emperor lives in the imperial study together, and the minister has also passed the martial arts exam, if it is easy to kill the emperor, it is absolutely impossible to beat around the bush like this, full of loopholes!" The prime minister finished with a smile on his face.

Shang Shu patted the gavel and shouted: "Prime Minister, be bold! You are treasonous!"

"Even if the emperor is here, I still say the same thing. I lost my head several times long ago. Now my head is kept by the emperor. Does Lord Shang Shu say that I am bold or not?" The prime minister's voice was high A few points.

Shang Shu was so angry that Lan Shuming's face turned red, but he couldn't say a word even when he pointed at the prime minister for a long time. Before this official and the emperor entered the forest, Lord Shangshu followed other military officers into the forest. At that time, Lord Shangshu and several other adults entered the forest from the place where the emperor was assassinated. Now this official has every reason to say Lord Shangshu and other military officers murdered the emperor together, Empress Dowager, I want to sue Lord Shangshu and other military officers for murdering the emperor!" The prime minister looked at the person in front of him coldly, and said word by word, his face was serious, and he looked at it seriously. The queen mother, the smile on the corner of her mouth also disappeared, it seemed that she was really talking about this matter seriously.

The queen mother's eyes changed. Of course, she knew that the prime minister was a monster, and it was impossible to be tossed down so easily, but she didn't expect that the prime minister's thinking was so quick. , actually changed the direction of the wind and leaned towards the prime minister. Sure enough, the prime minister should not be underestimated, this person had to be removed!

The queen mother clenched her fists, looked at the prime minister in front of her, endured it for a while, and said: "At the beginning, the arrow was shot from the forest, and all the officials saw it, but at that time, there was probably no one else in the forest except the prime minister. Bar!"

The queen mother said slowly.

The Prime Minister snorted coldly in his heart, he didn't expect the Queen Mother's reaction to be so fast!
