Chapter 562 Zhao Daosheng informs on others
"Come here, come here, let me out. What do you have the right to arrest me? I am the prince's man. Come here and let me out." Zhao Daosheng, wearing prison clothes and shackles on his hands and feet, slapped the cell door with all his strength and shouted hysterically.
"What are you arguing about! Don't you know where this place is? If you keep arguing, I will beat you to death." The head of the prison appeared in front of Zhao Daosheng with two prison guards holding whips.
"Let Lao Zi out. I am the prince's man. How dare you lock me up here? Aren't you afraid that the prince will blame you?" Zhao Daosheng roared.
"Snap!" The head of the prison responded with the whip in his hand. The whip was whipped down, and Zhao Daosheng was so painful that his tears flowed.
As the male favorite of the prince, he was usually spoiled and had never suffered such a crime.
"Just wait until the prince comes! You will be in trouble." Zhao Daosheng did not dare to fight with the jailer, so he could only retreat to the corner and shout.
"You little bastard, don't you see where you are? Even if the prince comes, he can't save you. You will die in this death cell!" said the jailer.
After the jailer finished speaking, he took his men away. He had never seen anyone who had entered the death cell leave.
The guy inside was thrown into the death cell without even being interrogated, and he was escorted by the imperial guards.
This shows that the one who wants him dead is the emperor!
Zhao Daosheng was stunned on the spot. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He was actually a death row prisoner. He was immediately panicked.
"Someone come quickly! Someone come quickly!" Zhao Daosheng slammed the cell door and shouted.
"What are you shouting about? What do you think this is? Is this your backyard?" The prison boss appeared again and scolded Zhao Daosheng. He
raised his whip and hit him. This time Zhao Daosheng was prepared and dodged immediately.
Seeing that Zhao Daosheng dared to hide, the prison boss was immediately furious.
"Open the cell door. I want to go in and teach him what the rules are." The prison boss shouted to the prison guard beside him.
The prison guard immediately took out the key, unlocked the cell door, and the prison boss walked in.
Looking at the prison boss who was approaching step by step and smiling with a knife, Zhao Daosheng was very calm.
"I have something important to tell you. I need to see your Dali Temple Chief. Go and get him." Zhao Daosheng shouted loudly, with a ferocious look, but he was terribly scared.
The jailer ignored Zhao Daosheng. He had seen many people like him. The louder he shouted, the more scared he was.
He was very familiar with this kind of stubborn guy. He felt relieved after a beating with a whip!
"This matter concerns the safety of His Majesty!" Zhao Daosheng shouted when he saw the jailer approaching step by step.
The jailer stopped and looked at Zhao Daosheng in surprise and said, "Tell me, what is it?"
"You are just a small jailer. You are not qualified to know. Go and get your Dali Temple Chief for me. I will only tell him about this matter." Zhao Daosheng said.
The jailer hesitated, but finally decided to let Zhao Daosheng go for the time being and inform the Dali Temple Minister of this matter. After all, this matter concerns the emperor.
Whether it is true or not, it is not something that a small jailer like him can influence.
Soon, the Dali Temple Minister who learned about this matter sent people to the death row to interrogate Zhao Daosheng. He must find out whether Zhao Daosheng was just bluffing or whether such a thing really happened.
"I heard that you have something to tell me about the safety of His Majesty. What is it? Tell me quickly." The Dali Temple Minister asked.
"I can only tell you about this matter. Please send your attendants away." Zhao Daosheng said.
"I want to see what tricks you can play. You all leave." The Dali Temple Minister said, and asked his attendants to leave.
"Okay! You can speak now, but I'll say this in advance. If you make up stories and talk nonsense, you will suffer the consequences. Don't blame me for not reminding you." The Dali Temple said.
"The prince is planning a rebellion!" Zhao Daosheng said.
He certainly wouldn't make up stories. He was still counting on this explosive news to survive, and even if possible, it could bring him wealth and honor.
"What did you say?" The Dali Temple was shocked! He thought he had heard it wrong!
"The prince is planning a rebellion!" Zhao Daosheng repeated it again.
"How dare you! You are so bold to slander the prince. What is your intention?" The Dali Temple roared.
As the head of the state, the prince would not allow a little male favorite to slander him. The Dali Temple Minister did not believe such a thing and thought that Zhao Daosheng was slandering the prince in order to save his life.
"Every word I said is true, absolutely not false. I heard it with my own ears. The prince and Li Jingxuan conspired to rebel in the East Palace."
"Li Jingxuan contacted some generals to support the prince to launch a coup and seize the throne. At the same time, the prince was secretly contacting Cao Wang Li Ming and the successor Jiang Wang Li Wei to rebel together."
"The time is set in one month. At that time, the prince will start a rebellion." Zhao Daosheng said.
"Is what you said true? How do I know if you are lying to me?" said the Dali Temple Minister.
"You may not believe this is true, but if I were you, I would rather believe it than not!" Zhao Daosheng said.
"You are someone close to the prince, why do you want to betray your master?" the Dali Temple asked.
"In order to survive, I hope that the Dali Temple can see that I have told such a secret and plead for me in front of His Majesty to spare my life." Zhao Daosheng said.
"Come here!" the Dali Temple shouted.
"What do you want?" The yamen runner walked in and saluted.
"Take this man back to the death row and wait for his punishment." The Dali Temple said.
"Yes!" The yamen runner took the order and took Zhao Daosheng back to the death row.
The Dali Temple felt that what Zhao Daosheng said made sense. If this matter was true, then he would have done a great deed.
So, he hurried to the Daming Palace to meet Li Chengqian.
"What did you say? The prince actually wants to rebel? Is this true?" Li Chengqian was shocked.
"Looking at Zhao Daosheng's expression, it shouldn't be false, and what he said is very coherent, not like nonsense. He hopes that Your Majesty can pardon his death penalty." The Dali Temple said. "
This rebellious son actually dared to do such a thing, which really disappointed me." Li Chengqian said.
"Everyone! You can't just rely on Zhao Daosheng's words to conclude that the prince wants to rebel. We need solid evidence to prove the truth of this matter."
"It is not impossible that Zhao Daosheng framed the prince for treason in order to save his life. Everyone should think twice." Wang Quan said.
"In other words, Zhao Daosheng has been with the prince for so long and has always been deeply favored by the prince. What he said may not be false." Li Chengqian said.
Wang Quan was speechless.
"After you go back, immediately take Zhao Daosheng out and behead him! Regardless of whether what he said is true or false, this kind of guy who sells himself for glory must die." Li Chengqian said.
"Yes!" The Dali Temple Minister bowed and left.
