So he sent everyone into the palace, and also took a carriage with him to go to the prison to see if there was any news.

The main ones are the death row prisoner and the Nan family, who have been dormant and there has been no news.

The main thing is that I don’t know if the Nan family has learned something new or what, and there hasn’t been any news from them.

He even left after entering the palace to attend court. Just two days ago, whether he came to greet or to watch the fun, the Nan family just watched from afar and had no intention of taking any action.

All these behaviors made him a little confused.

Xiao Chenzi, who had just come out of the library, was a little angry, thinking that Dongzheliu was a little too offensive to the emperor.

Why not give such a rebellious person a quick death?

If someone is disobedient, he must have his own reasons.

Take his medical skills for example. They are definitely higher than those weird doctors. Not to mention that he is just a local doctor, but his efficiency is still better than that of the imperial physician.

Besides, at this level, there probably won't be any problems, so why bother firing him and causing trouble?

"Forget it. You still doubt me now. Is there no time for such doubt? You might as well go and see what's going on in this prison."

Finally, he planned to summon two more people and ask them to go to the Nan family in the middle of the night to see if anything had happened recently.

It’s so quiet now, which doesn’t seem like the Nan family’s style.

He had a large family and a great business, and although half of the military power was given to Zhao Xin, the previous emperor had valued him very much and he had a lot of military power in his hands.

Everything is ready, except for the east wind.

If he were to fall into the hands of such a person, he would be unwilling to accept it.

If this is the case, who can live in peace?

As he stepped into the cage, the rotten smell mixed with a hint of fishy smell reached Zhao Xin's nostrils.

The taste is a bit like old salted fish that has been stored for several years and it is really addictive.

The soldiers and horses Zhao Xin brought were lined up outside without saying a word. He went in and took a quick look at the jailer, who knelt down and shouted, "Long live the emperor!"

Seeing his expression and attitude are all cowering, it is obvious that if a war really breaks out, he will become a traitor...

There's nothing I can do. He's already so cowardly even though he hasn't done anything yet. He doesn't seem to have any sense of responsibility.

Zhao Xin is real, he just doesn't want to see such a coward.

"Alright, you're acting like this the moment you see me. Did I scare you or something? Alright, just step aside. Call your leader. I'm going to check on the condemned prisoners."

The leader was discussing matters inside before and did not hear the loud noise outside.

But when he heard that the emperor was coming, he rushed out in a hurry. When he saw the emperor, his expression was almost the same as that of the jailer.

Zhao Xin held his forehead. This guy was definitely another traitor. Why were the people selected these days always bullies who only fear the strong and bully the weak? They had no gentlemanly spirit at all.

Besides, it would be better if you had some gentlemanly demeanor in this palace.

After all, it is said that it is better to employ gentlemen than villains.

But isn't this cage a place for sneaky tricks? If you're so gentlemanly, you'll be completely tricked by the other side and lose everything.

"Now lift your head and show me your head held high! What's the point of being so timid? Are you doing this just for me to see?"

The leader on the opposite side was also puzzled to see Zhao Xin angry.

He is kneeling down and calling the emperor, what's wrong with that?

The man standing before him was the Son of Heaven. It was already a great honor for him to have an audience with him; someone with his qualifications wasn't even worthy enough to see the emperor. Now, suddenly seeing him in person, he was thrilled.

"Alright, take me to see the death row inmates' room. I have something to say to them."

This does make some sense, so he nodded.

The further you go inside, the stronger the smell becomes. It stinks to high heaven. I don't know how long it has been since it was cleaned.

This was considered a prison of the highest order, and the prisoners inside were the most heinous criminals. Upon seeing the emperor, the condemned prisoners clung to the iron bars with their hands, shouting that they were innocent.

Several others were also making noise.

"Your Majesty, let me out!"

"Your Majesty, I swear to reform myself!"

It was so chaotic that it gave Zhao Xin a headache.

He is worthy of being a leader. Just seeing Zhao Xin touching his temple in annoyance, he knew what to do.

He quickly knocked on the iron railings to ask them to stop talking. It might be that the method used by the leader in the palace was rather special. When those death row prisoners saw the leader, they didn't even dare to speak. They were like quails.

No matter how you look at him, he's no different from the jailer just now.

It is true that like master, like servant.

"Your Majesty, why are you here now?"

"I intend to release him."

?

The psychic was stunned, and even wondered if the emperor had been replaced. However, Xiao Chenzi just stood by and said nothing. It must be said that the emperor was really brave enough to release so many death row prisoners with just one word. How could this be possible?

"Your Majesty, this is a death row prisoner. He is not like other prisoners. Moreover, it took a lot of power to capture him before. Now he is released. Isn't that..."

"It's summer now, and there's a lot of farm work to do. Besides, every family has nothing to harvest, and so many grown men are imprisoned in the palace, eating the food sent by the court and their parents. Do you think they feel good about it?"

The commander did not expect that the emperor would actually play the family card.

"Besides, now that a disaster has struck, the people, young and old, are joining the army. The private army that has been established is even more rampant than the imperial court's. No matter whether they are old or young, as long as they can step forward to fight, they will be captured. You can imagine what life will be like there."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the group changed. Each of them stared wide-eyed as they recounted the difficulties of this situation, but Zhao Xin ignored them.

He just stood there in deep thought for a long time, and then said something as if he had made up his mind. This sentence made everyone present at the scene stunned. If Xiao Chenzi had not followed him since he first arrived at the palace, they would have really thought that someone had used disguise to become the emperor to deceive him.

"I now intend to release these people. According to custom, they will be executed in the autumn of next year. In that case, I will release them now. They can do farm work for the family for a year and save some money for the family, so as not to make the farmers' families so sad."

It is not only about giving a way out to the people and the country, but also to the emperor himself.

He was also gambling, betting on whether this group of people would come back next year, or whether they would be loyal to him.
