In the Jade Buddha Temple north of the Imperial Palace.
Today, the snow had stopped, but it began to rain again. Entering the eleventh month of the first year of Zhenghe, the cold wind was even colder.
The charcoal fire in the temple was burning vigorously.
According to Dao Hou Han, he and Warlock Jiang Chong were drinking wine in front of a small stove, looking extremely proud.
"His Majesty still can't withstand the pressure.”
Han Shuo raised his glass and said to Jiang Chong,""Brother Jiang, you're right. Brother Zhu's death was a good thing.”
Following Liu Jin's imprisonment, the Eastern Palace fell out of favor once again. The Crown Prince's last bit of hope was destroyed. How could the two not be happy and proud?
"Everything is within my calculations." Jiang Chong smiled.”
"We have mobilized so much power, and so many great scholars and commoners of Yangling have jointly written a petition to impeach him. Let alone an imperial grandson who hasn't been conferred a title, even the crown prince would probably be pulled down now!”
"His Majesty is a tough and heartless person," Han Xiao said."The only thing he cares about in the world is the development of the Great Han Dynasty.”
"The current situation is already turbulent, and there are countless disaster victims everywhere. The country's fate is declining, and the turmoil in Yangling has already shaken the foundation of Your Majesty's country.”
"How can an imperial grandson be compared to the fate of the Han Dynasty in the eyes of His Majesty?”
They thought that they had already understood the personality and thoughts of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so they could prescribe the right medicine and pull Liu Jin down from the favored imperial grandson.
"This political struggle isn't something a young kid like him can meddle in.”
According to Dao Hou Han, he shook his head with a look of pity."He's too immature."
After being silent for a short while, Han Shuo continued," Brother Jiang, it's a good opportunity. The imperial grandson has been imprisoned. Should we eliminate the entire Eastern Palace?"”
"It's not the right time yet." Jiang Chong shook his head.”
"Why?" Han Shuo was puzzled.
"His Majesty's attitude towards the Eastern Palace is not firm enough. We need to do something to make His Majesty hate the Eastern Palace completely. Only then can we start planning."”
"Bear with it for a while. There's no hurry.”
"I'll listen to Brother Jiang." Han Shuo nodded.”
……
The prison of the chief justice was located outside the imperial city. Those who could be examined and imprisoned by the chief justice were almost all high-ranking officials and relatives.
Liu Jin was sent all the way to the Supreme Court.
He thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was doing. Therefore, he could only be imprisoned in the Supreme Court.
The eunuch who was responsible for escorting Liu Jin whispered something to Guo Ju. Guo Ju's face obviously changed as he threw a glance at Liu Jin casually before nodding,"Understood."
Liu Jin didn't know what they were talking about and was quickly sent to the prison by the bailiffs.
Hmm?
Liu Jin had just arrived at the prison when he saw a few bailiffs cleaning up the prison's rooms.
It was not as dark, cold, and dirty as he had imagined.
Not only that, but the lights here were bright, and the bedding and clothes were neatly folded. In addition, there were two stoves that were emitting flames, making the prison extremely hot.
The prison room was very large. There were low tables and chairs, and on the table were a few bamboo books and pastries.
The interior was clean and tidy, without a speck of dust.
Liu Jin was stunned.
Was this jail time?
Was it the same in the prison of the supreme court?
The bailiffs looked at Liu Jin respectfully and said flatteringly,"Your Highness, is there anything else you need?”
Liu Jin was speechless.
"Am I here to go to jail?"
"Of course," the bailiff said with a smile.
"This is a prison?"
"Of course." The bailiff was still smiling.”
"Is the Supreme Court of the Great Han Dynasty that good?"
The bailiff was speechless.
The bailiff was silent for a moment before saying,"Yeah, even our prison is so nice, hehe.”
However, his smile was a little ugly.
"If I say that I need two maids to serve me…" Liu Jin probed.
Before he could finish speaking, the bailiff hurriedly said,"I'll arrange it now."”
Liu Jin was speechless.
Really?
"Forget it, I was just casually saying. You can leave. I want to be alone.”
The bailiff was puzzled for a moment before his eyes lit up."Go quickly and call all the maids named Jing Jing to serve His Highness!”
……
Gongsun He walked towards the Yamen Office of the Supreme Court with mixed feelings while holding an umbrella.
In the end, he still couldn't escape this step.
Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still put Liu Jin in prison.
Gongsun He sighed. He had thought that Liu Jin would be the key person to change the situation for the Eastern Palace, the Wei family, and the Gongsun family.
But…
He was too young!
Forget it!
After all, he was still a child. After all, he was only twenty years old. How could he know anything about the muddy waters of the imperial court?
Gongsun He came to Guo Ju with a gift.
"Brother Guo."
Gongsun He respected the wise and the corporal.
Guo Ju was flattered and hurriedly said,"Prime minister, this lowly official is defeated.”
"I have a presumptuous request," Gongsun He said with some difficulty.”
As he spoke, he gave the gift in his arms to Guo Ju and said,"I know it's difficult to go to the prison to see Jin 'er, but this old man promises that I'll only take a look and won't waste any time.”
Guo Ju looked at Gongsun He suspiciously.
Gongsun He smiled." You and I know about this. Please do me a favor. I will remember this incense."”
After all, Gongsun He was the Prime Minister of a dynasty, and his status in the court was still like the sun at noon.
Before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty made a move against the Prime Minister, the Prime Minister of the Great Han Dynasty was still below one person and above ten thousand people!
Gongsun He had already made a gesture.
He wanted to go in to take a look at Liu Jin and tell him some things at the same time.
"Um."
Guo Ju smiled and said," It's not difficult at all. Please, Prime Minister. I won't accompany you."”
"Thank you." Gongsun He nodded.
After he left, Guo Ju stared at his back and muttered to himself,"What's going on? This old man is getting more and more confused!"
Gongsun He took a deep breath and walked into the prison.
He had already thought of how to speak to Liu Jin, such as gritting his teeth and persisting for these few days, not complaining about the Emperor, and not feeling that the prison environment was unbearable, etc.
After all, Liu Jin had been living a luxurious life since he was young. He would definitely feel conflicted if he was suddenly thrown into prison. The more conflicted he was in prison, the more displeased the Emperor would be.
Along the way, Gongsun He had thought of an excuse. However, when he arrived at Liu Jin's prison, he was stunned.
Gongsun He stood outside the cell, stunned. Looking at the layout of Liu Jin's cell, his body trembled!
The layout and environment were even better than his own home.
He rubbed his eyes hard and said uncertainly,""You…Are you in jail or on vacation?”
