Xue Changshi quickly opened the door wearing a piece of clothing, as if he had been woken up from his sleep.
The captain of the guard glanced at him and asked him to put on his clothes: "If the prince has something to do, please come over."
Xue Changshi woke up in an instant, yawned, closed the door, put on his clothes, and went out.
The captain of the guard seemed to hear the sound of something heavy falling into the water, and there was a muffled thud.
He couldn't help but stop and listen carefully.
Although the snow has melted since the beginning of the year, the weather is still frighteningly cold.
If someone jumps into the cold river water, After waiting for a while, there was still no movement at all, so he stretched his head and took a look outside in confusion.
The water and the sky meet, and it is so white under the moonlight that nothing can be seen.
And no one.
He breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he was being too worried.
In such a cold weather, there is no need to go to such great lengths and risk one's life if the imperial court is really pursuing them.
Xue Changshi had already turned around and asked him: "Is there anything else the guard chief has to do?"
He quickly shook his head and followed Xue Changshi in stride.
King Jin had been waiting for him for a long time.
As soon as he saw him, he couldn't wait to tell him all the news that the captain of the guard had just reported.
He frowned and said, "It seems that this king must die."
When he said this, his hands were still shaking slightly, and even his voice was shaking violently.
Xue Changshi quickly stepped forward to support him and asked anxiously: "Your Majesty, is it possible that we really expected you?"
Prince Jin covered his face and slumped back in his chair.
He was so bored and panicked that he almost cried: "People have come to the capital.
The day after we left, they went to the officials and insisted on seeing me.
The princess blocked it once, but I don’t know if I can survive the second time.”
Xue Changshi frowned tightly, obviously worried to the extreme.
After a while, he said: "Your Majesty, what do you want to do now?"
When he saw King Jin suddenly looking up at him, he looked at King Jin without avoiding it and reminded him: "If our guess comes true, then it will be useless for us to escape to the fiefdom."
He said: "Everything in the world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's ministers."
As long as Emperor Longqing still has the final say in the world, there is no way that Prince Jin, who has become a thorn in his side, can really escape.
King Jin was even more agitated by this reminder and became irritable.
But even if he was so irritable, he still hesitated and shook his head: "Then what's the point of doing it?"
There is still one thing he dares not say out, so he can't rebel.
A trace of disappointment quickly flashed in Xue Changshi's eyes.
I knew that Prince Jin was timid, but I didn't expect that his courage would become so timid.
He really didn't have any backbone left.
Not even the life or death of his favorite son could stimulate him.
Xue Changshi coughed, cleared his throat and said: "My lord, is it possible that you want to sit back and wait for death?"
This is naturally impossible, otherwise he wouldn't have tried so hard to escape, leaving his wife and favorite cousin at the previous dock as a scapegoat.
He scolded in distress: "Of course not."
After saying that, he became very upset: "But now that things have come to this, what else can I do?"
He has always been a pessimistic person and only thinks about the worst in everything.
If something goes wrong, you don't even think about how to deal with it.
You usually just passively accept the consequences.
Xue Changshi had already figured out his personality thoroughly, and gave him a quick push: "I understand your concerns, Your Majesty."
He sighed, lowered his voice soothingly, and made a gesture of suggestion: "In that case, why don't you write a letter of apology?"
King Jin suddenly raised his head.
By now, except for fear and panic, his other emotions were very numb, so numb that he couldn't think of anything else.

Perhaps fatigue and escape tend to make people's thinking slow down.
He was completely attracted by Xue Changshi's words and regarded him as the last straw: "Write an apology note."
Xue Changshi said righteously: "Yes, since the Holy One said that the fourth prince was murdered by the young master, and the matter involves our palace, no matter what, the matter has nothing to do with you.
But we can also go to the court to plead guilty.
Zhezi defends himself, please confess your guilt before he gets angry, saying that you were wrong and that you indulged your son."
Xue Changshi was persuasive: "As long as you speak more beautifully and write nice notes, the emperor and the cabinet will read them.
When you invite people to activities, things can really be reduced to minor issues."
King Jin quickly understood what Xue Changshi meant.
Take the initiative to admit his mistakes, and before Emperor Longqing accuses him of a bigger crime, he first accuses himself of lax discipline.
At best, Emperor Longqing will only issue a decree to warn him not to teach children.
At most, the children suffered a little and had a difficult life in the capital.
No matter what, he had many sons anyway, four or five in total.
Besides, my cousin is still young Thinking a little too far, he shook his head, tried to calm himself down, and nodded to Xue Changshi: "This is a way, and now, I have no choice but to give it a try."
In his opinion, if he could spare his life and let him continue to be a wealthy and idle man, it would be worth paying any price.
What he fears most is being beaten and killed.
The price of making a fuss was too high, and he couldn't afford that price.
He urged Xue Changshi to write the excerpts: "Just write it for me to see and do your best."
He warned: "You often write excerpts for me in your spare time.
You know best what the superiors like."
This is true.
Xue Changshi nodded respectfully in agreement, bent down and thought about it seriously, then he took up his pen and wrote a gorgeous and sincere apology letter.
Even King Jin himself seemed eager to shed a few tears of sadness and sympathy.
In this letter, King Jin became an innocent father who was kept in the dark.
He could not discipline his sons, and their sons did not take him seriously as their father.
This excerpt deeply and sharply examines the problems of the King of Jin: he favored his concubines and destroyed his wife, he was unhappy with his concubine, he was partial, and there were many other crimes.
It's just that he didn't say clearly that he was a waste.
He couldn't manage the affairs of the fiefdom well, and neither could his son.
And in the end, he took the initiative to reduce the escort force.
If you reduce it further, his fiefdom's guard army is the smallest among the vassal kings, not even five thousand.
But now he couldn't take care of so much, and his life was about to be saved.
All these things were in vain whether he kept them or not.
King Jin stroked his beard and patted the table, and immediately ordered people to send zhezi to Beijing
