The next day, morning upwards.

The Eighth King, Zhao Yuanyan, stood up straight and said, "Brother Huang, my brother has something to report!" ”

Zhao Heng and everyone were stunned.

Zhao Yuanyan has never asked about the politics of the court, he is an idle prince, and he rarely speaks in the early dynasty.

What kind of trouble is this today?

I only heard Zhao Yuanyan say: "Brother Huang, my brother has recently heard rumors in Bianjing City, the people are talking about the cultivation of the official family, accusing the imperial brother of obsessing with cultivation in recent years, ignoring the government and politics, causing traitors and villains to cause trouble in the court, and some people say that the heavens will send a warning in the near future......"

Wow!

The Manchu Dynasty was in an uproar.

Ding Wei stood up abruptly and reprimanded: "As a prince, King Jing is a royal family, how can he listen to such nonsense at will...... Officials, such rumors must have been fabricated and spread by people with ulterior motives, and they must be thoroughly investigated! ”

Zhao Heng didn't wait for the others to speak, then waved his hand: "Eighth Emperor Brother, what the Ding Qing family said is reasonable, don't listen to these rumors in the future...... Kaifeng Mansion Yin thoroughly investigates this matter! ”

Zhou Huaizheng stood up and said loudly: "Retreat!" ”

Hundreds of officials left the Yanqing Hall one after another.

When he got outside, Doctor Wang Zeng stepped forward and said curiously: "I haven't heard a word about the rumor that the prince just said, I don't know where the prince got the news?" ”

Zhao Yuanyan glanced around and whispered: "This king has never heard of it, but yesterday His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly found this king......

When Wang Zeng heard this, his face was shocked: "What is the purpose of Your Highness doing this?" ”

Zhao Yuanyan said depressedly: "This king is also wondering! ”

Wang Zeng: "......"

……

Khao Fu.

Kou Zhun stared at Wang Zeng with a look of surprise: "So, His Highness instructed King Jing to do this?" ”

Wang Zeng nodded: "King Jing is generous, he shouldn't lie." ”

Kou Zhun was stunned again.

What does the prince want to do?

Wang couldn't help but say: "Father-in-law, Doctor Wang, in my opinion, this matter is not complicated, but the prince wants to use the mouth of King Jing to persuade the official family to stop obsessing with cultivation...... It's a pity that he is young, thinking that he can advise the official family on this, he is still too young! ”

Kou Zhun and Wang Zeng listened, so they had no choice but to nod.

Wang Zeng was disappointed: "I thought that His Royal Highness had grown up and was up to a great responsibility, but now it seems that alas, ......"

……

The streets of Bianjing.

In a blacksmith's shop.

The sound of tinkling is endless.

Then, a shirtless middle-aged man walked up to Zhao Zhen and handed over a box, "Guest officer, this copper wire has been built." ”

Zhao Zhen took it and opened it, and in the box was a ball of thin copper wire, with high quality and uniform thickness, which proved that this craftsman was skilled.

He glanced at the man with some surprise and asked, "What's your name?" ”

The man replied: "The villain's name is Bi Sheng!" ”

Bi Sheng?

Zhao Zhen's eyes suddenly widened and asked, "You were born in the Kaibao period?" Huainan Road, Qizhou, Qishui County? ”

The man suddenly stared at Zhao Zhen vigilantly, and only nodded after seeing that there was no danger around.

Zhao Zhen asked again: "Have you ever engaged in engraving and printing?" ”

Bi Sheng replied: "The villain learned carving and printing when he was on Huainan Road, and changed his career to become a blacksmith after arriving in Bianjing. ”

Zhao Zhen confirmed that the man in front of him was Bi Sheng, the inventor of movable type printing.

According to the normal historical trajectory, Bi Sheng would not invent movable type printing in Hangzhou bookstore until 20 years later, and now he is just a blacksmith who barely makes a living in Bianjing!

This is talent!

What this prince lacks most now is talent!

He stood up and asked, "Bi Sheng, are you willing to follow Prince Ben?" ”

Bi Sheng looked at Zhao Zhen and thought to himself where did this strange person jump out, could it be a bad person?

Then he quickly shook his head.

Zhao Zhen was stunned.

Could it be that the prince's domineering spirit is not strong enough?

He turned around and said, "Chen Banban, tie him back first, and then make arrangements when the palace is busy with Kou Zhun's affairs." ”

Several men rushed up, tied Bi Sheng up, and forcibly stuffed him into the carriage.

……

A quarter past noon.

Chen Lin accompanied Zhao Zhen to the Yuqing Palace next to the imperial city.

Entering the Yuqing Palace, while walking, Chen Lin introduced: "Your Highness, this morning, King Jing suddenly stood up and said that there was a message in Bianjing City recently accusing the official family of cultivating the Tao and misleading the country, and this matter has caused an uproar!" ”

Zhao Zhen thought to himself, Zhao Yuanyan was really a timid and afraid of things, and he actually pushed this matter to the rumors!

But do you think you'll be able to get yourself out of the way?

Still too naïve!

In addition to the main hall, Yuqing Palace also has a star-picking tower, with a total of five floors.

Standing on the star-picking tower, you can overlook most of Bianjing.

At this moment, Chen Lin hugged the pillar tremblingly, and looked at Zhao Zhen pitifully: "Your Highness, the little one doesn't know kung fu, why don't you change the guard." ”

The task given to him by Zhao Zhen was also simple, that is, let him climb along the pillar to the beam, and put a long bamboo pole tied with copper wire on the top of the Star Picking Tower. If you are not careful, you may fall directly from the fifth floor.

Zhao Zhen said angrily: "Dog, you dare to disobey the orders of this palace?" Hongu will kick you down now! ”

"Ah......h

Chen Lin twitched her nose and cautiously began to climb the pillar.

Half an hour later, Chen Lin finally tied the bamboo pole and slid it down smoothly.

Zhao Zhen clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Let's go, go back to the East Palace." ”

Chen Lin asked, "Your Highness, aren't you going back to Pingshan?" ”

Zhao Zhen said lightly: "If nothing else, in the next two days, Kou Zhun will be able to return to the dynasty to serve as the chief assistant, such a big event, the palace will not stay, I am afraid that something will go wrong!" ”

Then, he looked up at the sky.

Originally, the sky was clear, but at this time, the wind suddenly rose, and clouds gathered in a different way.

Zhao Zhen suddenly smiled and said, "Perhaps, there will be results tomorrow." ”

……

Afternoon.

The wind is getting stronger.

Dark clouds are falling.

Click.

A thunderclap broke the peace of Bianjing City.

Streams of water snake-like lightning flashed out of the clouds.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck the top of the Yuqing Palace's Star Picking Tower.

Then, smoke billowed from the Star Picking Tower.

"On fire......"

"The Star Picking Tower is on fire!"

"Yuqing Palace is burning!"

……

Meanwhile.

Yanqing Palace.

Zhao Heng leaned on the dragon bed and coughed violently.

Liu E fed him snacks, but he was rudely slapped away.

Liu E put down the pastry and asked, "Official, are you still thinking about King Jing's words?" Ding Xianggong said that those words were rumors made by people with ulterior motives, so why should the officials take it to heart. ”

Zhao Heng shook his head: "Empress, since Zhen'er exposed the tricks of the dragon and tiger real people in the Yuqing Palace, I have a problem with the cultivation in my heart...... Now, there are sudden rumors among the people that they reprimanded me for my cultivation and said that the heavens would send down punishment as a warning, and I felt more and more uneasy......"

Liu E sneered: "Why should the official family worry, from the perspective of the concubines, the so-called punishment from heaven as a warning is completely nonsense, false and not credible at all." ”

Before the words fell, I saw Zhou Huaizheng hurriedly running in, and said with a shocked face: "Official, Niangniang, it's not good, Yuqing Palace was thundered and caught fire......

Swish!

Zhao Heng sat up straight suddenly, his face full of incredulity: "What...... This, this, is this the punishment of God? ”

"Poof......

He opened his mouth and a mouthful of blood sprayed out!
