Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 53 Self-rescue mission
With Chen Yi having such a talent, the empress probably developed a love for talent, otherwise she wouldn't have given in again and again before, and now this class must be due to the accumulation of anger to a certain extent.

At this time, the chief assistant of the cabinet felt a little anxious, unable to calm down and seriously think about countermeasures.

"Emperor Master, do you have any good ideas?"

The emperor stroked his beard and spoke slowly.

"If we talk about countermeasures, it's not that there are no countermeasures. The key is that the countermeasures need to be ingenious."

The chief assistant of the cabinet was overjoyed when he heard what the emperor said, "What countermeasure? Is there really a way? I hope the emperor will give me some advice."

While talking, the chief assistant of the cabinet sat up from the table and knelt down to the emperor.

The emperor waved his hand immediately: "There is no need to perform such a big gift. I haven't thought about this matter yet. I just want to provide you with an idea. This matter will be resolved later, so as to give His Majesty a fair reason to forgive Chen Yi, and at the same time, it can also save His Majesty's face." , that’s it.”

The chief minister of the cabinet lowered his head and muttered to himself, thinking about the meaning of the emperor's words.

"An honest reason? Face, where can I find it?"

The emperor looked at the chief minister of the cabinet opposite him, scratching his head, and added another sentence.

"If you can't force His Majesty, don't think about petitions or anything like that. Even if you save Chen Yi, His Majesty probably has grudges in his heart, and it may not be a good thing in the future."

The chief assistant of the cabinet nodded: "Yes, but is there any way to have both? Emperor Master, if His Majesty is to give amnesty to the world, can it be regarded as a legitimate reason?"

The Imperial Master smiled and took another sip of tea.

"Convincing others can work in this direction, but there must be a reason for amnesty. I don't know if you can figure it out. What is the reason now?"

The chief minister of the cabinet bowed his head and pondered for a moment: "This well-drilling tool has now been completed, and the people of Longxi are expected to live a better life in the future, but now it seems that it seems a little far-fetched."

The emperor nodded, his eyes full of encouragement.

"Think about it in this direction."

The chief minister of the cabinet could only do this. At this time, he stood up, smiled and said to the emperor: "I will take my leave now, I will go back and discuss it with other people. Thank you, the emperor, for clarifying the confusion for the younger generation."

The emperor didn't stay on vacation either, and asked his servants to send the chief minister of the cabinet out.

Now in the court, except for the chief minister of the cabinet and the above-mentioned ones, the other ministers have a wait-and-see attitude.

Imperial prison.

Chen Yi lay bored in the prison, Chen Yi didn't expect that he would be treated well.

A separate cage, the environment is relatively clean, the bed is covered with thick straw, and it is soft to lie on. His cell has a window, and a beam of sunlight shines in through the window.

It seemed brighter in the room.

At this moment, a system notification sounded in Chen Yi's ear.

This system has not been around for a long time.

Ever since he was given the task of solving the drought in Longxi last time, he has disappeared, as if he had never appeared before.
Finally he spoke again.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for triggering a random task. 】

[Ding, please host this random task as soon as possible. 】

[Mission description: The empress is angry with Lord Su and curses repeatedly, and kills the monkeys to reshape her own prestige. Now she is passive and unable to complete the previous tasks in Longxi, for the benefit of the people. The people of Longxi are in danger. Please send the host as soon as possible. To get out of the sea of ​​suffering by myself, make the empress realize the ability of the host, entrust her with a heavy responsibility, and save the common people in the world, there is no delay! 】

[Task Reward: Competent Minister +10, a book of basic martial arts skills. 】

[Mission punishment: After the mission fails, the head of the host falls to the ground. 】

Listening to the system's introduction, Chen Yi felt a little helpless in his heart.

Is this failure punishment a bit too childish?

Do you still need to punish me?If he failed, he would naturally ask for help tomorrow.Isn’t it a case of heads falling to the ground?
Chen Yi looked at the system prompt and fell into deep thought.

A few times before, I angered the Empress, but the system didn't respond, and neither did the Empress.

Now that the system has issued a task, it shows that the empress is serious this time.

Chen Yi sighed, a little helpless. Why is it so difficult to be a minister who is dedicated to the people?We have to take care of the people's basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation, and we also have to worry about our own heads.

Sure enough!The art of scheming is not simple, so so many good officials in history have fallen.

On the contrary, the corrupt officials live smartly and live a long life.

Now that I have become a prisoner, how can I let myself escape?No, how can the empress spare herself?

While Chen Yi was thinking, he heard someone coming in from the cell.

Some voices were faintly heard.

Chen Yi's cell should be in the innermost cell, and the surrounding ones are all empty. There is no one living here, but fortunately, the jailer's attitude towards him is not bad.

It's not like in the TV series, the rough rice is cold, but the food is delicious and balanced.

Hearing the footsteps of Chao Chao's rented old house, Chen Yi raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself, it seems that this person came to find him, but he didn't know who it was, whether it was an enemy or a friend.

Chen Yi sat on the spot and waited quietly for a while, then saw the jailer walking over with a person.

The man directly passed the jailer, came to the door of the cell, turned his head and said to the jailer, "Open the door quickly! I want to go in."

Chen Yi didn't recognize who this person was at first.

After all, except for a window in his room, the place where he worked was a little dark, especially in the corridor, these people were now in the shadows.

Chen Yi couldn't see clearly for a moment, but he heard voices.

He recognized him right away, faced him squarely, and was the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry who had been with him the longest.

Chen Yi stood up, looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Industry who came in from the door, and said excitedly: "Master Shangshu, why are you here? Did you come to see me?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry looked up and looked around, and then glanced at Chen Yi's body without any injuries, then nodded with a smile.

"Yes, I made a special trip to see you."

While the two were exchanging greetings, the jailer locked the cell door again.

"Second adults, we won't bother you, just call us if you need anything."

After the jailer finished speaking, he left.

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry looked back at the direction the jailer left: "Their attitude is not bad, they didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

Chen Yi shook his head with a smile, walked to the table next to him, and made a gesture of invitation.

"Master Shangshu, please sit down. This is the condition here, so we can only make do with it."

The table happened to be within the range of the sun, so it looked very warm. The Minister of the Ministry of Industry did not say anything, just walked over and sat down.
