In the capital of Chu.
In the imperial prison.
Earth Prison.
Xu Yannian was imprisoned here.
Next to him was a larger and more spacious cell.
That was the Heaven Prison.
However, no one had ever lived in this Heaven's Son cell since the construction of this prison.
Xu Yannian really wanted to stay there.
However, Zhao Yinman said that she was not worthy.
This made Xu Yannian furious.
He had already offended the dragon's might and even said such disgraceful words.
He didn't even have the qualifications to enter the Heaven-tier prison.
He felt that he was more or less looking down on her.
Could it be…
Was Su Che the only person in the world worthy of living in this Heaven Prison?
Although Xu Yannian had already been sentenced to death and would be executed in a few days.
However, the jailers realized that Xu Yannian was not afraid at all.
His mentality was terrifyingly good.
Xu Yannian even casually chatted with them and told them how bad the empress was.
The jailers felt their scalps go numb after hearing this.
If it wasn't for the fact that they had to stick to their posts, they would have fled.
Were they worthy of hearing such words?
He had no choice.
If it were any other prisoner, the jailers would have punished them or gagged them.
But this criminal was different.
Even though he was sentenced to death by the empress.
However, his status as the country's father could not be changed.
These jailers did not dare to offend Xu Yannian.
Not only that, but he also had to provide them with good food and drinks.
As for the words that Xu Yannian had said to the empress, they could only stuff their ears with cotton.
However, he found that the effect was very ordinary.
And the most outrageous thing was…
Xu Yannian saw that they had stuffed their ears with cotton.
When he scolded the empress, he cursed even louder.
It was hard for the jailers not to hear it.
Therefore, over the past two days, the dozen or so jailers guarding Xu Yannian had suffered greatly.
Xu Yannian's words were too scary.
Just listening to it made people worry that their heads would be destroyed.
"Lord Xu, can you stop scolding me?”
Liu Jing, who was in charge of guarding the imperial prison, had only recently been transferred over.
This was because almost all of the people guarding the prison were Su Che's men.
Recently, a violent earthquake had occurred in the entire officialdom of Dafeng.
Anyone related to Su Che was suppressed to varying degrees.
On the surface, Zhao Yinman's series of actions had indeed achieved some results.
Fewer and fewer people stood up for Su Che.
It was even close to zero.
More people chose to play safe.
Especially when he saw Xu Yannian locked up in the imperial prison and about to be executed.
Seeing Zhao Yinman kill her own grandfather, many people were scared away.
Of course.
Zhao Yinman wanted to kill Xu Yannian.
Other than the fact that Xu Yannian had completely angered her, he had also done so to warn the others.
If he killed Xu Yannian, he could bring peace to Chu.
Zhao Yinman felt that it was worth it.
"I'm about to die, why not?”
Xu Yannian felt that Liu Jing was quite interesting.
"Lord Xu, you've scolded us to your heart's content, but if His Majesty finds out, our heads might be moved.”
Liu Jing said with a sad face.
The current Zhao Yinman was like a completely different person from the past.
No one dared to provoke him at this time.
"It's good to move. You're not good people anyway.”
Xu Yannian clapped.
Originally, many departments in the imperial court were Su Che's people.
But now, something happened to Su Che.
These people were replaced by Prime Minister Li Yu's trusted aides.
For example, Liu Jing.
Back then, he had relied on bribing Li Yu to climb up step by step.
Now, he had the job of guarding the imperial prison.
Therefore, Xu Yannian wished that these people would die with him.
When he died, he could bring along a few of Li Yu's lackeys with him.
Xu Yannian felt that he had profited.
"Lord Xu, look at what you're saying.”
Liu Jing said kindly,
"We have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old wife and children.”
"If something happens to us, there will be no one to support our mother, and our wife and children will become orphans and widows.”
"Everyone says that Lord Xu is kind-hearted. I think you probably can't bear to do so.”
Due to Xu Yannian's status, Liu Jing naturally did not dare to use force, so he could only use soft tactics and play the emotional card.
However, who would have thought…
Xu Yannian didn't buy it at all.
"Indeed, I used to be very kind, but now I feel that being kind is not good.”
"Look at Great General Su. Is there anyone more benevolent than him in this world?”
"But what was the final outcome?”
"I think you should know this better than me.”
At this point, Xu Yannian looked up at Liu Jing and continued,
"So I've thought it through now.”
"How much is benevolence worth?”
"It just so happens that this old fellow will be on his way in a few days. In order to not be lonely on the road, I'll find a few people to travel with. When the time comes, it'll be good to have a few people to talk to on the road to hell.”
As soon as he said this, Liu Jing's mouth was instantly sealed.
Liu Jing was completely unable to speak.
"This old thing, no wonder his own granddaughter wanted to kill him. He really deserves to die.”
Liu Jing cursed fiercely in his heart.
"You little bastard, you must be cursing me in your heart right now.”
Xu Yannian looked at Liu Jing and sneered.
"How would I dare?"
Liu Jing smiled apologetically.
However, his guilty look had long betrayed him.
"There's no need to deny it. Your reaction is actually very normal.”
Xu Yannian said,"
"However, you can only curse in your heart. Are you angry? I angered you so much, but you couldn't do anything to me.”
Once again, Xu Yannian said the main point.
Liu Jing was speechless.
"I'm obviously a death row prisoner, yet you can only smile apologetically when I provoke you like this. Even your anger can only be kept in your heart.”
"The reason is that my daughter is the Empress Dowager and my granddaughter is the King of Chu.”
"You're afraid of my identity, so you can only endure it.”
"But have you ever thought about why you have to endure it? If someone provoked you, couldn't you scold them back?”
When he heard this, Liu Jing was suddenly stunned.
He looked straight at Xu Yannian.
His brain was buzzing.
"Are you thinking in your heart right now-yes, just because you're the country's father, I have to endure it.”
Xu Yannian said.
"Lord Xu is truly a god."
If one were to say that he was eager for Xu Yannian to die earlier, then Liu Jing was completely convinced now.
"Have you ever thought that we are all human beings? Why are some people born with wealth?”
"Are those people who become kings, marquises, and generals born with good lives and noble children?”
Xu Yannian said.
He couldn't help but think of the conversation he had with Su Che that day.
Su Che said," Do you have balls?”
It directly made his blood boil, and he felt as if he had been enlightened.
These few days, he knew that he did not have much time.
However, he was fearless.
He had lived to be more than eighty years old. He had lived long enough.
His only regret was that he wouldn't have the chance to discuss Dao with Su Che again.
He had no choice but to go on his way and wait for seventy to eighty years underground until Su Che came down.
At this moment.
Xu Yannian looked at Liu Jing's trembling body and knew that he had heard him.
He continued,
"If everyone in this world is equal, no one is born with special privileges.”
"Then wouldn't such a thing have happened?”
The strangest thing was…
Liu Jing unexpectedly nodded.
If Xu Yannian wasn't a relative of the royal family, then he really wouldn't have had to tolerate him just now, nor would he have had to swallow his anger.
"Therefore, the root of all evil is this feudal imperial power!”
Xu Yannian said loudly,
"As the ruler of the country, the emperor cannot be dictatorial. The power he has should also be limited. He should not be able to do whatever he wants and do nothing.”
"As for the royal family, they should not enjoy special privileges. They should be like ordinary people and abide by the law.”
When he heard this, Liu Jing's face could not help but reveal a look of yearning.
If there really was a world like what Xu Yannian had said…
He felt that it must be wonderful.
Although he was also an official, he was really aggrieved as an official.
However, Liu Jing finally understood why Zhao Yinman wanted to kill Xu Yannian.
Just based on what he said just now, it was considered treasonous.
But he had heard so much.
If the empress were to find out about this, she would probably lose her head.
Thinking of this, Liu Jing did not dare to continue listening.
Although he admitted that Xu Yannian was right, these things were not something that a petty official like him, who was guarding the imperial prison, needed to consider.
In the next moment.
Liu Jing hurriedly ran away.
Xu Yannian looked at his back.
A knowing smile appeared on his face.
He knew that Liu Jing was definitely not a good person.
However, to preach to a bad person, to change his standpoint and beliefs, to make him stand on the side of the common people.
Wasn't it also a matter of boundless merit?
Su Che once said.
A single spark could start a prairie fire.
It was a pity that Xu Yannian only understood the meaning of this sentence now.
It was a little late.
Xu Yannian knew that his days were numbered.
He also had no chance to come into contact with people from the outside world.
The only people he interacted with every day were the jailers guarding him.
Since that was the case.
It could affect one person after another.
In the final moments of his life.
Xu Yannian also hoped to pass on the fire seed that Su Che had passed to him in this prison.
Moreover…
Hopefully, one day.
This spark could set off a sky full of flames!
