Three short days passed quickly, and finally it was the day when Xiao Yi entered the capital to offer prisoners.

This early in the morning, the royal capital was very lively, with people coming and going in the streets and alleys, and the people were all beaming with joy. The prince of Zhennan, Xiao Yi, defeated the Nanman and even captured the eldest prince of the Nanman alive. The news that he was going to the royal capital today to sacrifice himself as a prisoner had already spread throughout the royal capital.

It was not yet completely dawn, and a group of people who had gone out of the city to welcome Xiao Yi back to the capital were already waiting outside the Sanli Pavilion outside the capital. The fifth prince, under the emperor's order, led many important officials in the court to wait here. Thinking of the significance of this sacrifice of prisoners, everyone's back straightened up.

Nangong Xin took the initiative to ask Ying to accompany the fifth prince to greet Xiao Yi today. He had already looked through the autumn water, knowing that Xiao Yi was still nearly half an hour away from here, but he still couldn't help but crane his neck and keep looking at the south.

I don’t know how long time passed. He didn’t wait for Xiao Yi, but he did wait for Yuan Lingbai.

"Fortunately I'm not late." Yuan Lingbai wiped his sweat and jumped off the horse neatly.

Nangong Xin blinked in surprise, "Xiaobai, I thought you couldn't come today."

Yuan Lingbai came galloping all the way, fearing that he would be late, but now he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Eldest brother and little Hezi have returned triumphantly, how can I not come to admire their heroic appearance!" he said in a tone of voice I was both happy and a little envious. Xiao Hezi is doing well this time. He went to southern Xinjiang with his elder brother to see the world, which is nothing like him...

Yuan Lingbaizheng felt a little depressed. A member of the Royal Forest Army who went to investigate came back on horseback and shouted: "It's almost there! It's almost there! The prince's men are already less than five miles away from here!"

Hearing this, everyone waiting around the Sanliting Pavilion was in high spirits, and they all looked to the south along with Nangong Xin.

Time passed little by little, and in the eyes of pairs of people looking forward to it, a team of a thousand people appeared on the southern horizon, bathed in the early sunshine, which seemed to have given them a layer of gold. In the army, several wooden prison cars stood out particularly eye-catchingly. In each prison car were several dark-skinned and ragged Southern barbarians imprisoned.

"It's the eldest brother! ...and Xiao Hezi!" Yuan Lingbai shouted in surprise, jumped on the horse, then clamped the horse's belly, and galloped towards Xiao Yi and the others.

After a while, Xiao Yi and his party finally arrived at Sanliting. Xiao Yi, Fu Yunhe, Qian Moyang and others quickly dismounted their horses, strode forward, bowed and saluted the fifth prince: "I have met His Highness the fifth prince!" After a few days of rest, they had recharged their batteries, and everyone seemed to be in high spirits and radiant.

"Brother Yi, Cousin He, you are finally back." The fifth prince stepped forward with a smile, clasping his fists in joy and saying, "I am here to welcome you on your triumphant return on the order of my father."

I don’t know how happy Sister Yue and Great-aunt would be if they saw Xiao Yi and Fu Yunhe come back safely. If they had not sacrificed prisoners at the Meridian Gate today, the fifth prince would have wanted to bring them with them.

However, it’s good to be back, and there’s no rush.

The fifth prince calmed down and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

To be honest, Xiao Yi and Fu Yunhe were a little surprised that the person who greeted them was the fifth prince. The two exchanged a look. It seemed that during their absence, the emperor was obviously more and more dissatisfied with the fifth prince. More and more attention has been paid to it.

That's not a bad thing, though.

Although several people had a lot to say, today was an important day to present prisoners to the Emperor’s Meridian Gate. The auspicious moment was approaching and there was no room for delay. A group of people immediately embarked on the return journey in a mighty way. The journey back to the royal capital...

At the same time, the people in the royal capital are also looking forward to it eagerly.

As Fu Yunyan said before, the main street leading from the south gate of the royal capital to the palace was cleaned up by the imperial guards in black armor early in the morning. The imperial guards on both sides of the street stood guard every ten steps, and the released The solemn and solemn aura seems to say, the idlers get out of the way.

If you want to watch the Prince of Zhennan escorting the Nanman captives into the city today, you can only squeeze obediently behind the cordon set by the Royal Forest Army. Even so, both sides of the road are still crowded with people who come to watch. At a glance , this street is so crowded that I can hardly insert a needle.

This person, who had a little more money, simply took another shortcut and went into teahouses and restaurants on both sides of the street to sit and wait. As a result, the shops on both sides of South Street were already overcrowded at dawn.

Nangong Yue and Fu Yunyan had the foresight to arrive early in the morning at the Laiyun Teahouse they had booked three days ago, accompanied by Baihui and Lily.

Fu Yunyan showed the waiter the wooden sign for the reserved seat, but the waiter said shamelessly: "I'm sorry, sir, there are many guests in the teahouse today, so I have to share it with other guests." Which private room?" His words were extremely polite, but there was a hint of arrogance in his manner, as if he was saying: Anyway, there are many guests today, do you want to come or not?

Fu Yunyan frowned. Although the tea house's behavior was not incomprehensible, it was just that they had made the reservation three days in advance. This business requires integrity, so how can they wait for a price like this!

Nangong Yue was also dissatisfied, but she really didn't want to let this little thing ruin her interest on the great day when Xiao Yi came back. Fortunately, today she and Fu Yunyan changed into men's clothes for travel, and sharing a private seat with others was nothing.

Nangong Yue took Fu Yunyan's hand and signaled with her eyes: Forget it.

Fu Yunyan didn't want to delay their plans for today, so she could only hold back a breath and pursed her lips into a straight line.

Lily caught Nangong Yue's glance, so she stepped forward and said, "Then please ask the second brother to take our young master to the private seats."

Hearing this, the waiter immediately smiled warmly and stretched out his hand to make an invitation: "No problem, please invite some of the gentlemen and the younger ones to come!" He walked in the front and walked briskly up the stairs. Nangong Yue They hurriedly followed.

This teahouse is a place of elegance. Normally, the seats on the second and third floors are particularly remote and quiet, but it was different today. As soon as I walked up the stairs, I heard a commotion.

The waiter led Nangong Yue and the others into the dining room on the second floor that they had been to before. The last time they came, there was only a table and a few chairs in this dining room, but today it was not too crowded. There were four tables on the table, two tables by the window, and the other two tables against the wall. This shabby setting did not look like an elegant teahouse, but more like a street stall for listening and reading.

At this moment, all three tables were occupied, and only the one by the window was left.

When Nangong Yue and the others entered the room, the lounge was quiet for a moment, everyone looked at them, and then started chatting among themselves.

The waiter led Nangong Yue and the others to the table by the window, and said flatteringly: "Guests, please take a seat. You have reserved private seats in advance, so I specially reserved a seat by the window for you."

Lily was speechless for a moment, but the waiter knew how to talk and gave the seats they reserved to others, and now he has the nerve to take credit.

Nangong Yue and Fu Yunyan sat across the table facing each other, and heard the young scholar at the other table next to them say: "It is already halfway through Chenshi. Counting the time... the Prince of Zhennan will be arriving soon."

The middle-aged scholar opposite him said with some excitement: "Since General Guan Da went away, I, Dayu, have not fought such a heart-warming victory for a long time! This Prince Xiao is really a scumbag! What a pity! It is a great regret in my life that I cannot go to watch the sacrifice of prisoners at the Meridian Gate!"

An old man at another table couldn't help but interjected: "The old man heard that today, His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince went to Sanliting to greet Prince Xiao in person on the emperor's order. The old man has never seen the noble prince in his life. , I can take a look at it from a distance today, it’s worth it in my life!”

"The Fifth Prince is the daughter of the Queen, the Emperor's legitimate son! Maybe he will be the future Crown Prince!"

"It seems that the emperor really attaches great importance to this offering of prisoners at the Meridian Gate!"

"..."

The people at the other tables around also echoed sadly. Suddenly, a middle-aged businessman said: "Have you ever heard about the Nanman Saint?"

"What Southern Barbarian Saint?" Others looked at each other in confusion. Most of the people here were from the royal capital. In the final analysis, their impressions of the Southern Barbarians were just word of mouth, or an accidental brushstroke in history books and geographical annals. They know nothing about what kind of place Nanman is, its composition and folk customs.

The middle-aged businessman was somewhat proud and said: "I have been to Southern Xinjiang several times before, and I still know a little bit about the Southern Barbarians..." He vividly told the rumors about the Southern Barbarian Saint, and emphasized He said what a wonderful woman she was. Finally, the key point was revealed mysteriously, "I heard that the Southern Barbarian Saint will also go to the royal capital with the Crown Prince of Zhennan this time!"

The last sentence caused a commotion in the small seating area, and everyone's eyes were filled with brilliance. The young scholar couldn't help but ask: "Then what is the meaning of the Nanman King sending that kind of saint here..." ?"

"You still don't understand this!" The middle-aged scholar glanced at his companion with contempt, his expression meaningful, as if to say: Even men understand!

The young scholar sighed with emotion: "This Prince of Zhennan is really blessed!"

"That's natural. Same people but different fates!" The middle-aged businessman said with a bit of sourness, "That Nanman Saint is one of the most beautiful in the world..."

"Have you said enough?" Fu Yunyan finally couldn't bear it and slammed the cup in his hand on the table, making a "pop" sound, "The prince of Zhennan went to the battlefield to fight back the southern barbarians, you guys But people are like a tongue-tied woman speculating behind their backs about right and wrong, which is really shameful and shameless!"

As he spoke, Fu Yunyan glanced at Nangong Yue across from him with some worry, fearing that her mood would be ruined by these people. Unexpectedly, Nangong Yue's face showed no grudge at all, only a relaxed and cheerful smile, and said: "I am so happy today, there is no need to be angry about these unimportant things."

These market rumors are often only one part true and nine parts exaggerated. She is not stupid enough to become suspicious because of such rumors. What's more, she believed in Xiao Yi.

Fu Yunyan also calmed down and thought: That's right. With his third brother Fu Yunhe watching, Xiao Yi shouldn't be so courageous!

When the middle-aged businessman saw that Fu Yunyan and Nangong Yue were just two hairless teenagers of thirteen or fourteen years old, talking to an elder like himself, he couldn't help but feel a little angry, and shouted in a rough voice: "We said What does our business have to do with you? If you can’t listen, you can plug your ears!"

The young scholar on the side was also displeased and said angrily: "Little brother, we are talking about ours and we didn't offend you. It's too much for you to scold a long-tongued woman right off the bat..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a noise coming from outside the window. Soon, excited shouts came in one after another: "Here they come! It's His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince and Prince Zhennan who are here!"

"Look, people are already outside the city gate."

"Is that His Highness the Fifth Prince?"

"..."

The crowd outside the tea house was so loud that everyone in the dining room immediately forgot about the quarrel just now. They all eagerly swarmed to the window and stretched their necks to look in the direction of the city gate.

At this moment, both sides of South Street facing the city gate were boiling like hot water. The people who had been waiting there early were all excited and eagerly waiting. If there were not imperial guards below to maintain order, Those people may have surrounded the city gate.

The first person walking in the front was a young man and a teenager. They each rode a tall horse and passed through the city gate side by side. Behind them were more carriages of knights and officials. After that, there was a Soldiers in black armor, with high spirits, lined up in a neat square formation. Looking at their neat steps and cold demeanor, it was obvious that they had been on the battlefield and had seen blood on their hands. Just the way these soldiers marched made people feel shocked, and even the people in the teahouse seats were in awe.

Their eyes finally fell on the boy and the young man at the front. As soon as they saw the young man wearing the prince's python robe, they knew that he must be the fifth prince, and the young man next to him was dressed in silver. Armor, tall and slender, with a long bronze sword hanging on his waist. Behind him is a silver-white cloak flying in the breeze. Under the warm sunshine of early spring, his whole body seems to be shining with silver light, like the arrival of the God of War. In the human world, he is so handsome, sacred and noble that people almost dare not look at him.

"This...this is the Crown Prince of Zhennan!" Someone in the elegant seat sighed with emotion.

Everyone was looking at Xiao Yi, but Fu Yunyan was looking at Fu Yunhe behind Xiao Yi. The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up, and he murmured: "It seems that the third brother is not missing any arms or legs, very good, very good!"

She just whispered softly, but the young scholar next to her had very sharp ears. After being stunned, he asked: "This little brother, your brother also followed Prince Xiao to the battlefield in southern Xinjiang?"

The scholar's words attracted everyone's attention to Fu Yunyan, with a hint of respect and a hint of enlightenment in his eyes.

No wonder this little brother seemed so indignant about talking about Prince Xiao behind their back just now. It must be that his brother followed Prince Xiao to the battlefield, so he felt a little bit the same way.

Although the middle-aged businessman always prides himself on being thick-skinned, he is a little embarrassed at this moment. He clasped his fists at Fu Yunyan and said, "I'm sorry, little brother. I just talked nonsense. Please don't take it to heart."

Fu Yunyan was originally worried about Nangong Yue, otherwise she would be too lazy to argue with these strangers who knew how to gossip. Now that the other party has apologized, she waved boldly and stopped arguing with him.

The middle-aged businessman breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but look at Xiao Yi outside the window and said: "I have heard before that Prince Zhennan has a naughty nature and is a useless 'second son'. Knowing how to cause trouble...it doesn't look like it today!" The middle-aged businessman has seen a bit of the world. He has seen all kinds of people when he travels all over the country. This man's demeanor cannot be deceived. The prince of Zhennan is one of them at first sight. Dragon and Phoenix.

"I remember that Prince Xiao is already married. With Prince Xiao's appearance, I don't know who is worthy of him..." The young scholar stared at Xiao Yi below and sighed complicatedly. This is really a comparison between people, which is really annoying. Some people are born with good backgrounds and good looks, and then they have talents that make people don't know whether to envy or envy them.

While the scholar was speaking, Fu Yunyan glanced at Nangong Yue with a smile. Fortunately, A Yue is pretty, otherwise the emperor's marriage grant would be a disaster rather than a blessing! Her Ah Xin is better, she looks just right!

Nangong Yue didn't care about Fu Yunyan's teasing eyes, nor what others said. At this moment, the hustle and bustle outside had gone away from her, and she could only see Xiao Yi below.

She looked at him for a moment. Although she had met Xiao Yi a few days ago and knew that he was fine, she was watching him enter the city amidst the cheers of the people and looking at his heroic appearance... ...The corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, and her heart was full of satisfaction: Ayi is really back!

Suddenly, Xiao Yi, who was riding a horse slowly below, seemed to feel something. He turned his head and looked towards the second floor of the teahouse. When their eyes met, the coldness on Xiao Yi's face faded, and a smile quickly bloomed on his face. Come, it is full of vitality and makes people feel like a spring breeze.

He raised his right hand and waved vigorously towards Nangong Yue, moving his lips slightly, saying silently: "Smelly girl, I'm back!"

Nangong Yue couldn't help but smile even more heartily, and just as she was about to wave, she heard a silly voice beside her saying: "Look, the prince is waving to me!"

"No, come with me!"

"It's me!"

"..."

Not only the few people in the banquet, but also the people in the restaurant next to it and the people on the street outside became commotion because of Xiao Yi's waving action. The atmosphere at the gate of the city reached a climax in an instant, and everyone was enthusiastic The ground waved his hands and smiled happily.

The atmosphere here has not cooled down until Xiao Yi and his team left.

A few people in the private seats returned to their seats, and the middle-aged scholar sighed: "This rumor is really unbelievable! I think this Prince Xiao is really a hero from a young age!"

"That's right!" The old man nodded in agreement, "I think the prince is like a martial arts star from the sky descending to earth!"

The young scholar suddenly looked at Fu Yunyan and said: "Brother, since your brother went to fight with Prince Xiao, you must know something about Prince Xiao. Can you tell us..."

Fu Yunyan rolled his eyes, his interest was aroused, and he talked to them about the things about the Zhennan Palace. Lily also added a few words from time to time... Everyone was filled with emotion after hearing this. The crude principle of "where there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather" remains unchanged even in the dignified prince's palace. Some people sighed that they had heard that Princess Zhennan was seizing the stepson's property. They thought it was just a rumor, but they didn't expect it. It’s actually true!

When Nangong Yue came back to her senses, she saw a group of people talking sympathetically and admiringly about Xiao Yi, almost describing him as an inspirational example - the father did not love the mother, but he did not leave. Crooked, work hard!

Nangong Yue was originally feeling a little bit disappointed because she could no longer see Xiao Yi's retreating figure, but now it disappeared completely. She looked at Fu Yunyan and Lily with a smile and said they had enjoyed themselves, and then they left Laiyun Tea House.

After leaving the teahouse, Fu Yunyan parted ways with Nangong Yue and returned to Princess Yongyang's mansion alone. The Fu family was also waiting for news about Fu Yunhe, and she had to go back to the mansion to talk to them.

And Nangong Yue also hurried back to Zhennan Palace. Before Xiao Yi returned to the palace, she still had a lot of preparation work to do... Calculating the time, Xiao Yi had to go to the Meridian Gate to offer prisoners, and the emperor would definitely return after that. If she wanted to recruit him to the palace for questioning, she estimated that it would take at least Shenshi until Xiao Yi came out of the palace, so she would still have plenty of time.

Not only Nangong Yue left, but other people watching the fun near the city gate gradually dispersed, feeling a little unfinished in their hearts.

The drama at the South City Gate has come to an end, but for Xiao Yi, today's prisoner presentation ceremony has just begun.

Go straight from the South City Gate along South Street. At the end of the road is the main entrance of the palace. After passing the palace gate, the imperial guards on both sides of the imperial road became more and more dense, with five steps and one post, each one standing solemnly. Extends to the Meridian Gate.

In the huge Meridian Gate Square, princes, ministers, civil and military officials in court uniforms have already been arranged in classes as if they were in the morning court. The imperial throne has been set up in the Meridian Gate Tower, with yellow covers placed under the eaves, and the books are placed under the Meridian Gate Tower, all the way to the end gate.

The sun was getting higher and higher, and suddenly the golden bell on the Meridian Gate rang, followed by the sound of golden drums and cymbals. All the officials knelt down in the direction of the Meridian Gate and shouted long live.

After a while, the emperor in bright yellow dragon robes, surrounded by many chamberlains and guards, appeared on the tall Meridian Gate tower like stars over the moon, and ascended to the throne.

The emperor was sitting on a high throne, looking down at the officials kneeling and bowing their heads below. He looked high-spirited and had a feeling of having the country in his hands and the world under his control.

The emperor raised his hand, the music stopped, and the princes, ministers, civil and military officials stood up.

Following the Minister of Rites, he went out and shouted: "Present prisoners!"

Although his voice was high-pitched and loud, the Meridian Gate Square was so big that his voice was like a pebble dropped into the sea and could not stir up any waves at all. However, when he finished speaking, the people closest to him The Imperial Guards then shouted: "Present prisoners!"

One passed to two, two to four, four to eight... It was transmitted all the way from the Meridian Gate to Duanmen and then to the palace gate. In the end, hundreds of imperial guards shouted in unison: "Present prisoners!"

The sounds overlapped and sounded like thunder, so powerful that they almost resounded through the sky.

Following this, there was another drumming and the roaring of salutes.

Under the gaze of hundreds of scorching eyes, a young man wearing silver-white armor strode forward with his chest raised. He was clearly Xiao Yi, the crown prince of Zhennan. Behind him, a young man wearing a white prison uniform and a white rope tied around his neck was escorted by sixteen tall soldiers and walked into the Meridian Gate Square.

When he arrived at the foot of the Meridian Gate Tower, Xiao Yi knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, I have been ordered to pacify the southern border and capture the Southern Barbarian prince Kui Lang alive as a prisoner. I would like to offer it to you for your order. ”

While he was kneeling down, Kui Lang, who was wearing prison uniform, was also forced to kneel down by Dayu soldiers behind him, lying humbly on the ground - since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. .

The emperor looked at Xiao Yi below with a smile, and his heart was filled with joy. It is conceivable that today's scene will be recorded in history.

The emperor ordered: "Transfer the prisoners of war to the Ministry of Punishment and the Court of Libo for joint discussion!"

After the emperor issued the decree, Kuilang was forced to kowtow to the emperor again.

Following this, the Minister of Punishment ordered several officials of the Ministry of Punishment to take over Kuilang from Xiao Yi's soldiers and **** him down.

In addition to Kuilang, there were also a group of Southern Barbarian surrendered generals who were also transferred to the Ministry of Punishment for disposal.

Finally, the civil and military officials once again knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times to congratulate the emperor. At this time, the prisoner presentation ceremony was truly over.

Everyone else could leave, but Xiao Yi was called to the imperial study by the emperor.

The emperor kindly allowed him to sit down, and ordered someone to serve tea. As if chatting at home, he asked about the affairs of southern Xinjiang.

Xiao Yi was not polite, eating snacks and drinking tea, and said: "...Uncle Emperor, you don't know, those southern barbarians have made the people of southern Xinjiang angry and resentful, and the people are all furious. Once you know it, You sent me back to fight against the Southern Barbarians, and everyone burst into tears of gratitude. The people rallied to attack, and there was no way this battle would be unwinnable."

The emperor felt relieved after hearing this, stroking his beard and smiling even more happily.

Xiao Yi continued: "When my nephew left, the people in southern Xinjiang saw each other off on the roadside one after another, and asked my nephew to bring you a Wanmin Umbrella, which I want to give to you."

"The Umbrella of the Ten Thousand People?" The emperor's eyes lit up and he said with interest, "Where is the Umbrella of the Ten Thousand People? Let me take a look."

"My nephew was held by the bodyguard all the way, and he didn't dare to let go. ... Mr. Liu, please go and get it."

Knowing that the emperor was in a good mood, Eunuch Liu responded with a smile: "I have never seen the Wanmin Umbrella before. Thanks to the emperor, this time, my eyes will be opened."

The emperor laughed and waved Eunuch Liu to go quickly.

Speaking of which, the emperor had only heard of the Ten Thousand People Umbrella in dramas. It was said that only when an upright and upright official left office, the people would spontaneously give him the Ten Thousand People Umbrella. Unexpectedly, I would be able to receive it one day. This is really what the people want.

The emperor waited happily. Not long after, Eunuch Liu came in with a mulberry umbrella. The emperor hurriedly asked him to open it. He saw that the umbrella was decorated with small silk strips, each one Each silk strip has a name written on it, as well as "May my emperor live long, long live, long live." Countless silk strips cover the mulberry umbrellas, almost all of them overlap one another. Some of the writing on it is straight, some is crooked, and each one has a different handwriting. It's obvious at first glance that it's not a forgery.

The emperor was extremely satisfied, and the smile on his face became wider and wider. He looked down at the silk strips one by one with interest, and suddenly raised his head and said, "Ayi, is this?" He was holding a piece of silk in his hand. There is a silk strip. In addition to the name, there is a red fingerprint on this silk strip. If you look carefully, you can see that there are many silk strips like this in the Ten Thousand People Umbrella.

Xiao Yi explained with a smile: "Many people are illiterate, but they also want to express their gratitude to the emperor, uncle, so they went to a teacher, wrote a silk note, and pressed I left my own fingerprints."

"So that's it..."

The emperor was deeply moved when he looked at the extremely simple names such as "Li Ergou", "Chen Dazhuang", "Zhang Ada" and so on. What moved him even more was Xiao Yi. Even if he was far away in southern Xinjiang, Xiao Yi had not forgotten him... The emperor knew very well that if Xiao Yi hadn't deliberately publicized it, how could the people in southern Xinjiang know about his wise decision? .

The Prince of Zhennan is the vassal king. If it were anyone else, he would have taken the credit for himself and won the hearts of the people. Only Xiao Yi would be so sincere.

"Ayi, you have worked hard this time..." The emperor looked at him lovingly and said, "Have a good rest in the palace for a few days, and I will send you another errand."

Xiao Yi grinned and said aggressively: "Uncle Emperor, please give your nephew a long vacation! My nephew hasn't seen his wife for a long time!"

The emperor readily agreed, "Then I'll give you a month's leave. That's enough!"

Xiao Yi thanked him happily, and then turned to the topic and said: "Uncle Emperor, this time my nephew came back and brought back the envoys of the Southern Barbarians. They said they were here to negotiate peace."

The emperor frowned, "Envoy?" He didn't seem to see any envoy, "Where is the envoy?"

"Along with Kuilangguan. There seems to be another woman who is locked in another prison car and has just been transferred to the Ministry of Punishment. ... She should be in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment now."

The emperor was dumbfounded and thought: Xiao Yi seems to have grown a lot during this trip to southern Xinjiang, but he is still unreliable! How can one imprison an envoy in a prison car...
