In the brightly lit inner hall of Yishu Palace, because of Liang Ruming's questioning, Leng Qing, who was squatting in front of the dragon bed, lying on the edge of the dragon bed with both hands and supporting his forward body, had mixed feelings and mixed feelings in his heart because he remembered the scene when Cheng Yiying died. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

And in that room, Liang Ruming, who was lying on the wide dragon bed and covered with a bright yellow brocade quilt, didn't know where the strength came from, and suddenly smashed the bed board under him with a "bang" sound, and his mouth was even more angry and screamed: "Didn't I strictly order that the news of Zhong Qing's death should not be passed on to the crown princess? How could the crown princess know? Who is it? Who is going to pass it on!!

Zhang Xuanfu, who had been standing quietly behind Leng Qing, saw this, and immediately knelt down towards Liang Ruming as soon as his legs weakened. While bowing and kowtowing, Zhang Xuanfu replied tremblingly: "The emperor is angry! The subordinates strictly ordered the palace to spread the news at that time, and the subordinates even arrested a few people to kill chickens and monkeys, and the subordinates and subordinates didn't know how the princess knew about the death of His Royal Highness the Prince......

Zhang Xuanfu was really panicked - that day, after the news of Liang Shengde's death came back, Liang Ruming held his breath and strictly ordered the palace to pass the news of Liang Shengde's death to Cheng Yiying, and after this order, Liang Ruming vomited blood and fell into a coma.

Zhang Xuanfu is an old man who has been with Liang Ruming for decades, there are some things, even if Liang Ruming doesn't say it, Zhang Xuanfu can understand Liang Ruming's thoughts just by looking at Liang Ruming's eyes and face. Yes, of course, Zhang Xuanfu also understood Liang Ruming's concerns about such orders.

Therefore, even if Liang Ruming fell into a coma after finishing his order, Zhang Xuanfu still dutifully did what Liang Ruming ordered - in order to curb the rumors, Zhang Xuanfu canned a few palace people who couldn't control their mouths on the spot, and in order to play the role of killing chickens and monkeys...... Zhang Xuanfu even directly ordered someone to beat those palace people to death......

Although Zhang Xuanfu's actions made people shudder, but because of Zhang Xuanfu's ruthless thunderous methods, since that day, no one in the palace has heard anyone discuss the death of the crown prince Liang Shengde......

But who knows, it's a hundred secrets...... Zhang Xuanfu has done it so much, and there are even those who are not afraid of death who ran to the Reclining Buddha Temple to spread the news, so that Cheng Yiying knew the news of Liang Shengde's death......

From the time Zhang Xuanfu knew that Cheng Yiying died prematurely in the Reclining Buddha Temple, Zhang Xuanfu knew that Cheng Yiying must have known about Liang Shengde's death, otherwise...... It's good, why did Cheng Yiying give birth so prematurely? ?

Therefore, although Zhang Xuanfu seems to be calm on his face in the past few days, in fact, Zhang Xuanfu has long been panicked in his heart......

However, when Zhang Xuanfu, who was kneeling on the ground, was panicking, Leng Qing, who was squatting in front of the dragon bed, calmly followed Zhang Xuanfu's words and said: "It was a guard in the emperor's palace who passed on the words. The minister arrested the person at that time, but the minister did not dare to make his own decisions, nor did he dare to blatantly bring the person back to the palace, so he imprisoned him in the Guannei Hou Mansion. ”

After Fang Linyang caught the person that day, Leng Qing originally ordered Fang Linyang to take the person into custody first, and then deal with the interrogation when Cheng Yiying finished giving birth and Leng Qing was empty.

But later, because Cheng Yiying gave birth to a belly and another one, Liu Chunxiang told Leng Qing at the beginning about "protecting the big and the small...... Therefore, Leng Qing had a faint premonition at that time that Cheng Yiying gave birth to two children in a row...... I'm afraid it's going to be hard to survive......

At that time, I thought that there were so many things to deal with in the future, in order to prevent accidents, so Leng Qing changed his mind - let Fang Linyang send someone to escort the person who worked tirelessly to deliver the news to the Reclining Buddha Temple down the mountain and sent it to Zhu Zimo.

And in order to prevent that person from escaping halfway, Fang Linyang simply cut that person's hands and tendons......

Later, after Leng Qing returned to Zhufu, in the days when Zhufu was "recuperating from his injuries", Zhu Zimo also asked Mu Ziru to ask Leng Qing -- what should be done with the person who was escorted down the mountain from the Reclining Buddha Temple and whose tendons and feet were cut off? When should they be dealt with? Their Zhu Mansion is not a place to support idlers......

Mu Ziru told Leng Qing that the reason why Zhu Zimo urged Leng Qing to deal with that person so much was because that person was sent down the mountain by Fang Linyang, and that person's hand and foot tendons were cut by Fang Linyang......

In order to ensure that the man's severed tendons and tendons have maintained that level of injury, in order to keep that person's injury from aggravating and not healing, Zhu Zimo can be said to have spent a lot of energy, and his hair turned white......

Although Leng Qing knew that Mu Ziru's sentence "Ah Mo's hair is really gray for you" was an exaggeration, Leng Qing also heard from Mu Ziru's words that Zhu Zimo was already tired of taking care of a prisoner so carefully......

Thinking of this, in order to make Zhu Zimo lose a few gray hairs, Leng Qing squatted in front of the dragon bed and opened his mouth to ask again: "People have been locked up in the Guannei Hou Mansion, can the emperor be arraigned?"

"Cold girl, I ...... Sure enough, I didn't see the wrong person...... This thing...... You're doing a great job. After Leng Qing asked, Liang Ruming, who was lying on the dragon bed, praised Leng Qing with such a weak breath.

And Leng Qing, who was squatting in front of the dragon bed, listened to Liang Ruming's praise calmly from beginning to end, and did not answer.

And then, after praising Leng Qing, Liang Ruming, who was lying on the dragon bed, stopped and took a breath, and then, seeing Liang Ruming slightly close his gray-white lips, he ordered in a light voice: "There is no need for arraignment, just ...... Kill it. Also, within the three tribes, the Yi tribe. ”

Maybe it's too much stimulation, maybe it's too long...... In short, although Liang Ruming woke up, his breath was very weak, and his voice was even weaker. Therefore, when these light words came out of Liang Ruming's mouth, Leng Qing thought for a while that she had heard the ringing in her ears......

Looking at Liang Ruming, who was lying on the dragon bed with a calm and almost weird expression, Leng Qing, who was squatting in front of the dragon bed, repeated with some surprise: "Yi...... Clan??" Did she mishear......

Just when Leng Qing was so suspicious in her heart, Liang Ruming, who was lying on the dragon bed, nodded slowly, although his voice was as weak as ever, but his tone was extremely affirmative: "Well, Yi-clan." Disobedience is an unforgivable sin. Knowingly, relatives sit together. Only the three tribes of him, I am already gracious. ”

"Another ......" The voice was leisurely, but seeing Liang Ruming lying on the dragon bed, he turned his eyes to look at Zhang Xuanfu, who was still kneeling on the ground, and ordered so lightly: "Xuanfu, since the person is imprisoned in the Guannei Hou Mansion, then this matter will be handled by the Guannei Hou." Tell the Marquis of Guan Nei that if this matter is done, I will crown him as the Marquis of Che, and the number of households will increase to 1,000. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! The Ministers have an order!" Zhang Xuanfu, who was kneeling on the ground, did not hesitate to respond to Liang Ruming's order.

At this time, Leng Qing, who was watching from the sidelines and quietly watching Liang Ruming and Zhang Xuanfu talk, responded to Liang Ruming's orders in a respectful tone after Zhang Xuanfu, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly understood the meaning of the sentence "The anger of the Son of Heaven, millions of corpses, and thousands of miles of blood" recorded in the history books......

"Leng girl......" Just when Leng Qing, who was squatting in front of the dragon bed, was stunned, Liang Ruming, who was lying on the dragon bed, suddenly called Leng Qing in a low voice.

When Leng Qing suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Liang Ruming who was lying on the dragon bed, Liang Ruming, who had a gloomy face, said one by one: "Tell me...... Crown Princess...... How...... Dead ......"

Hearing Mu Ziru's question, Leng Qing, who was squatting in front of the dragon bed, was silent for a few seconds before slowly speaking, and replied in a low voice: "Because I was too sad because I knew the death of His Royal Highness the Prince, I was already unstable, and I had the idea of going with His Royal Highness the Prince, and gave birth to twins...... Crown Princess...... Bloodshed on the spot...... It didn't take long for people to ...... No ......."

After listening to Leng Qing's answer, Liang Ruming, who was lying on the dragon bed, didn't know what he thought, so he was silent......

Liang Ruming didn't speak, Leng Qing, who was squatting in front of the dragon bed, and Zhang Xuanfu, who was kneeling on the ground, naturally followed and fell silent......

After a long time, Liang Ruming, who was lying on the dragon bed, moved his gray-white lips slightly, and asked weakly, "Leng girl...... The remains of the crown princess...... Where are you located?"

Hearing this, Leng Qing, who was squatting in front of the dragon bed, immediately replied truthfully: "It has been transported back to the capital from the mountain a few days ago. The queen mother made the decision and placed the coffin of the crown princess in the main hall of the prince's mansion, and placed it with the coffin of His Royal Highness the prince......"

"It's okay......" After Leng Qing finished speaking, Liang Ruming, who was lying on the dragon bed, sighed so much.

That's it, but Liang Ruming, who was lying on the dragon bed, commanded so lightly: "Turn back...... and bury them together in the coffin of the Shengling...... The only person Zhong Qing loved before his death was the crown princess, and for the sake of the crown princess, Zhong Qing even refused to accept the concubine several times...... I know that it is Zhong Qing's lifelong wish to be able to 'live together and die together' with the crown princess...... Other than that...... Coffins buried together with coffins...... ...... with a gloomy wooden coffin"

Liang Ruming's words were extremely indifferent, and his tone was as casual as if he was saying "what to eat today", but Zhang Xuanfu was immediately shocked when he heard this......

Seeing that, Zhang Xuanfu, who had been kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to get up because he didn't have Liang Ruming's instructions, immediately looked up at Liang Ruming who was lying on the dragon bed regardless of etiquette, and persuaded with a surprised and tangled expression: "Your Majesty! gloomy wood is a coffin that can only be used by the emperors of Bintian in the past dynasties...... This...... It's not polite!"

For Zhang Xuanfu's surprise and entanglement, Leng Qing can probably understand......

This kind of wood is known to be cold, because in the 21st century, any string of gloomy wood (in fact, ebony) polished Buddha bead bracelet can be sold for a sky-high price, which is more expensive than golden silk nanmu!

The gloomy wood is carbonized wood, mainly due to the sudden geological disasters in the primeval forest in ancient times, such as river wells, mountain floods, mudslides and other geological disasters that washed the trees into the river and buried deep in the sediment of the riverbed, or earthquakes, landslides caused the trees to be buried in the dark strata of lack of oxygen.

Under the state of hypoxia and high pressure, under the action of bacteria and other microorganisms, it has been eroded and created by nature for thousands of years or even tens of thousands of years, forming a plant "mummy" that resembles stone and non-stone, and is also known as "carbonized wood".

The gloomy wood has both the quaintness of the wood and the charm of the stone, its texture is solid and heavy, the color is black and shiny, the section is smooth and delicate, resistant to decay and insects, and it is natural. Therefore, Sichuan people call it "ebony", northeast people call it "Langmu" and "Shenjiang wood", and Westerners call it "Oriental Shenmu".

Of course, Gloomy Wood is not a single tree species, but rather a collection of trees that have been buried in the ground for a long time and have not decayed. There are many kinds of it, and the main ones that have been identified are: cypress, fir, nanmu, red vertebrae, matural, oak, lotus, iron wood, etc.

The gloomy wood is hard, mostly brownish-black, black-red, golden, and yellowish-brown. Its cutting surface is smooth, the wood grain is delicate, and some of the polishing methods can achieve mirror brightness.

Throughout the ages, gloomy wood has been used as a thing to ward off evil spirits, and to make handicrafts, Buddha statues, and amulet pendants. The ancients said: "A half square of ebony in a home is better than a box of treasures."

The modern "ebony" is a kind of mahogany, and the "ebony" generally referred to in the timber market refers to black African ebony and East African black sandalwood, which are a category of tree species and belong to a kind of national mahogany standard. (In China, gloomy wood is also called ebony, but gloomy wood does not belong to the five genera and eight categories of mahogany national standard.) ）

Leng Qing remembered that Father Meng had a bracelet of Buddhist beads polished from gloomy wood, which was not "black African ebony" or "East African black sandalwood", but the real thing - gloomy wood.

It can be said that the formation of gloomy wood is very coincidental, and it takes that kind of high-temperature, oxygen-deficient environment in the underground to form that kind of charred wood, but not coal. This kind of wood is not afraid of water, not afraid of shade, not afraid of soil invasion, not afraid of corrosion, and even less afraid of insects, after all, it is about to turn into stone.

It is said that a coffin made of gloomy wood can ensure that the body does not decay, and even after thousands of years, the body still looks as if it is asleep. This may be the reason why Westerners call it the "Oriental Sacred Tree"!

However, in Leng Qing's opinion, it is not so much the gloomy wood as the divine wood...... Rather, it's ...... Ghost Wood ......

However, because the conditions of this wood are very harsh when it is formed, even if the amount of wood formed is very small, most of it can only be used to make handicrafts, Buddha statues, amulets and other pendants. In the 21st century, if you can find a gloomy wood that can make a coffin, it will be a great explosion of character!

Okay, let's talk about it.

Regarding Zhang Xuanfu's surprised and tangled persuasion, Liang Ruming ignored Zhang Xuanfu at all, only looked at Leng Qing who was squatting in front of his bed, and asked softly like a kind and kind grandfather: "Leng girl, do you remember my words?"

Leng Qing, who was thinking about the gloomy wood in a whimsical manner, immediately came back to his senses, and responded respectfully in his mouth: "Yes, the minister remembers." The ministers will definitely act in accordance with the emperor's will, please rest assured. ”

After Leng Qing's affirmative answer, Liang Ruming, who was lying on the dragon bed, nodded with a relieved face, and said with a slight smile: "Good boy." ”
