Chapter 537 Zhao Yi visits prison

When everyone was arguing, Zeng Gongliang spoke: "Long live, I think that if Chen Shimei had not provided funds, we would never have the "Wu Jing Zong Yao" for people to steal! The guards of the treasury were arranged by Lord Chen, and he would never betray the Song Dynasty."

All Renzong knew that without Chen Shimei, there would be no "Martial Jing Zongyao" that has been available for thousands of volumes. He never thought of killing Chen Yuan, but he had to make a gesture, otherwise anyone would dare to let others go in the future.

How should he be punished? Renzong looked at Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng knew at this time that Renzong was waiting for him to find a way for the matter to let both sides come down. This was the battle in the court. When the ring was fierce, he demolished the ring. He said now: "Long live, I think Chen Shimei should be punished, but he doesn't have to doubt his loyalty to the Song Dynasty and Wansui. The so-called disregard for the country and the country is a bit exaggerated. Although the evidence of this matter is as iron, there are still some details that are not clear, and it should be found out."

Renzong nodded: "Okay, Bao Aiqing, I'll handle the matter for you. Let's remove Chen Shimei from his official position and take him to Dali Temple. I will choose a date to be tried in person."

Chen Yuan then looked up: "Thank you for your kindness!"

If life is a casino, then there are people who gamble and people who dominate the banker in the casino. In the casino in the Song Dynasty, Renzong was the one who took charge. No matter who wins, he would have to draw one in the end, and there were very few chances of losing. Chen Yuan and Pang Ji both gamblers, and there are also two types of gamblers. One can gamblers, and the other can't gamblers, which are called gamblers.

A gambler is to bet money on the table, and then follow him desperately, and even die, he has to look at the other party’s points. However, a gambler is not. A gambler will judge the situation. If the cards in his hand are not good, he will never bet, and he will lose less and win.

Chen Yuan was a gambler and knew that he had lost this step, so he admitted his defeat very simply. Renzong would not do anything to himself just because he let Yelu Luling go. What he had to worry about now is Lao Pang. Lao Pang must have a backup plan, and he didn't know if the little capital he left behind could withstand it.

Dali Temple must have settled. For some reason, Chen Yuan didn't want to deal with Bao Zheng more, but he always fell into his hands. This is the third time. Could it be that he and Bao Zheng had an unresolved grudge in his previous life?

The wisest thing Chen Yuan did was not to deceive Renzong. Renzong was a person who protected his shortcomings. Just as Pang Ji was exposed when stealing the jade horse, Renzong was not angry with Pang Ji, but Lao Pang used the word "steal". But even so, he still let Pang Ji go. Chen Yuan was accused of being very serious, but compared with Lao Pang's time, it seemed that it was a little worse.

After Chen Yuan was taken away, Renzong was not in the mood to go to the court. After listening to the books of several ministers, they all had nothing to do and announced that the court would be dispersed. Xuan Baozheng was waiting in the study.

When he entered the study, Renzong sighed one after another.

Bao Zheng said nothing and stood there. Until Renzong said, "Bao Aiqing, what should I do about Chen Shimei?"

Bao Zheng saw that Renzong didn't want to kill Chen Shimei at all, and he didn't want to punish him.

For Renzong, Chen Shimei is really important to him now. He wants to reform, Chen Shimei helps him; he wants to strengthen the army, Chen Shimei also helps him; when he doesn't want to be bullied by the young man Li Yuanhao, Chen Shimei immediately leads troops to destroy Li Yuanhao. When he is worried about the issue of food, Chen Shimei immediately buys him food from Nanyang.

Really, after so many years of being in power, Renzong never met a minister who wanted Chen Yuan to use it so easily.

From a broad perspective, Chen Yuan can help him do national affairs, as trustworthy as Fan Zhongyan, such as how to fight Liao Xingzong; from a small perspective, Chen Yuan can help him deal with some private life issues, such as Pang Ji, such as preparing to take Su Xiaoyou into the palace. Even if Chen Yuan is just a toy, it is enough to make him so happy that Renzong is reluctant to kick Chen Yuan away with just one kick.

What's more, he knew about Chen Yuan and Yelu Luling from the beginning.

But now, it seems that it is unreasonable not to deal with it, and it is not enough to deal with it lightly. After all, it is a serious crime to release the princess of the Liao Kingdom. But it is serious, and Renzong is unwilling to do so.

This is also the embarrassment of Bao Zheng. When Renzong asked him, Bao Zheng immediately said, "Long live, Chen Shimei's matter, should I wait before talking about it?"

Renzong was obviously not very satisfied with Bao Zheng's answer, so Bao Zheng immediately said: "This matter is very important, I have not considered it thoroughly yet."

Bao Zheng’s implication is very obvious. It is impossible to let Chen Yuan go now. Renzong nodded helplessly: “Your dear, please hurry up. You can think about it slowly. I will probably not be quiet soon.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the eunuch shouting at the door: "Long live, your princess asks for a long time."

Renzong smiled bitterly: "Here you come!"

Zhao Yi pushed open the door with a big belly and was about to bow down: "My son has met his father."

Renzong hurried forward and helped her up: "Get up, what kind of politeness do you do like this!"

Zhao Yi's eyes were red: "Father, where is my Chen Shimei? I heard you locked him up? Is it true?"

Looking at Zhao Yi's excited look, Renzong really didn't know what to say. Bao Zheng pulled a stool: "Your Highness, please sit down and talk."

Zhao Yi didn't sit down, holding Renzong's hand and refused to let go: "Father, what crime did Chen Shimei commit? If you don't see him doing things for you, and you can let him go for the sake of the child in my stomach? You won't be able to see my father when I was born, right?"

Renzong sighed: "I don't want to hold him back either. Don't worry, after a few days the storm has calmed down, so I'll let him out."

Zhao Yi's mood calmed down and suddenly asked, "Father, does he have anything to do with the princess of Liao Kingdom?"

This matter cannot be hidden. After the scattered court today, the streets and alleys will definitely be discussed. Renzong patted Zhao Yi on the shoulder: "Their affairs began a few years ago. I will tell you slowly, don't be excited."

Renzong used a language that Zhao Yi could accept, slowly narrated the story between Chen Yuan and Yelu Luling that he knew. He always looked at Zhao Yi's eyes in the middle, for fear that she would be excited.

But Zhao Yi really liked Chen Yuan. If she didn't really liked her, she wouldn't have let Qin Xianglian enter the door. She didn't care if Chen Shimei lost her head. She was just a little tough, not the kind of woman who could knock the whole table over for a bottle of jealousy. She already knew about Qin Xianglian's last time. She was a princess. If she made things worse, Chen Shimei would be unlucky.

Now I heard that Chen Yuan was arrested by Renzong because of the princess of Liao Kingdom. What she thought about most was Chen Yuan's safety. As for Yelu Luling, Zhao Yi couldn't care so much now. Even if he had to settle the accounts, he had to get Chen Yuan out first and then go home to settle the calculations.

After Renzong finished speaking, he saw that Zhao Yi's expression was still calm, so he felt relieved. He sighed and said, "Yi'er, Chen Yuan can let that Yelu Luling go. I was really angry at first, but later I thought, this was also considered to be his friendship. If he could catch Yelu Luling today, he would dare to bully you when his father ascends to heaven tomorrow. Also, if the two of them broke up like this, it might not be the same good thing for you."

This is to excuse the responsibility of a son-in-law who made a mistake from the perspective of a father-in-law. Renzong is really a very good elder.

Zhao Yi sobbed softly, controlling her emotions. Everyone told her when she came that as long as Zhao Yi did not give up on Chen Yuan, Renzong would not do anything to Chen Yuan, but if this was Zhao Yi or her belly child, Chen Yuan would be really dead.

After hearing Renzong's words, Zhao Yi raised his hazy tears and asked, "Father, can I go and see Shimei?"

How could Renzong let her go to the prison to feel the sadness of visiting prison? He shook his head and said, "No need, I will let him go home in a few days. Don't worry, my father is responsible."

Zhao Yi refused to agree and must check it out for herself. If Renzong usually scolded her for not understanding the rules, but now seeing her with a big belly, it is not easy to say anything. He said to Bao Zheng in desperation: "Bao Aiqing, go and prepare. I will go and see Chen Shimei with the princess tonight."

Bao Zheng responded, Renzong pulled him out of the study room and whispered at the door: "My dear, go and remove all the whips, torture instruments, and sticks in the prison. The prison cells are also arranged more comfortable. Don't feel uncomfortable if the princess sees it. Also, light incense inside, the best kind, don't smell moldy as soon as you enter!"

Bao Zheng smiled bitterly: "I obey the order."

Renzong said again: "Also, the prisoners' clothes have also been changed to the best silk. Before the princess goes tonight, she will hand over the prison meal. The prison meal is customized from the restaurant, at least two dishes, one meat and one vegetable. Do you understand?"

Bao Zheng was speechless: "I understand."

What did Renzong think of again: "And..."

Bao Zheng hurriedly said, "Long live! There can be no more!"

In Hejian Mansion, Pang Xi was really angry. He didn't understand what he was wrong just now, so he actually agreed to fight Chai Yang. After they fought for more than fifty rounds, Chai Yang was obviously at a disadvantage. As long as he gave himself some more time, he could deal with Chai Yang.

To be honest, Pang Xi didn't want to attack Yelu Luling, nor did she want to hurt the child in her arms. If they continued to move forward like this, then she would have left some affection for Chen Yuan.

But when he was sure to win, Qing turned out to be, and Chen Yuan's personal guards also came. Tie Anli and others rolled over from the battlefield, and more than 20 Jurchens survived them. They were really extremely brave.

The knights under Pang Xi were no match for them at all. Even if there were two good players, they could not resist the elusive soft knife in Qingyuan's waist.

Chai Yang entangled Pang Xi tightly, making him unable to watch the people he brought were chopped and killed one by one, and Pang Xi was really furious.
