Chapter 385: Tomb Pearls

Fang Jizhong hurried close to the emperor.

"Lord Chen Qing's ancestral home is Baiyan Village, but it is said that this village was not called this name at the earliest, it was called Guojiazhuang, and it seems that the person surnamed Guo died overnight, so someone proposed to change the name."

"Then why is it called Baiyan Village?"

Fang Jizhong shook his head, "This is not clear, the old slave once asked someone to inquire, and now Baiyan Village and the surrounding area are being taken care of by the Chen family, and now it has been almost thirty years." ”

The emperor nodded and looked Fang Jizhong up and down.

"Fang Companion, you watched several of my children grow up, who do you think is worthy of the big responsibility?"

Fang Jizhong knelt down with a wry smile, spread his hands and said:

"Your Majesty is embarrassed, and the old slave can't understand it, but these princes are all your flesh and blood, and the old slave is a superficial mortal, so I think Your Majesty can live forever, and these princes can also be filial piety, so what else is there to worry about?"

"You get up, I just asked, you have followed me since childhood, and I know this friendship. It's just that the prince seems to be too smooth, and when I don't know, it's really hateful to engage in these conspiracies and tricks under my nose.

The queen is even more so, although she doesn't care about anything, eats fasting and recites Buddha all day long, and lets the concubines manage the harem, but in fact, there is no shadow of her? I just saw that not long after the death of Master Cao, she was upset, so she had a lot of patience, really when I died? ”

Fang Jizhong didn't dare to breathe, but lowered his head and didn't speak.

The emperor stood up, walked back and forth a few steps, and looked at Fang Jizhong and commanded:

"Let's go and find out, what is the situation in this Baiyan Village, and the position of Concubine Xian should really be further entered, notify the Internal Affairs Office, and prepare to canonize Concubine Xian as the imperial concubine, and the sixth princess as the princess of Yongle, announce the six palaces, and choose a day to carry out the canonization ceremony."

Fang Jizhong knelt down and said yes, and quickly turned around and walked out of the Dongnuan Pavilion, as soon as the cold wind of early spring blew outside, he felt the coolness on his back, and several little eunuchs rushed up to wait for the dispatch.

"Godmaster, but what do you want to tell the little one?"

Fang Jizhong nodded, "The four of you are guarding Your Majesty here, if you don't have any important business, don't affect Your Majesty's approval, the four of you will go to the Internal Affairs Mansion with our family." ”

.......

The next day, as soon as Zhou Heng got up, Boss Xue pushed the door and came in.

He would not be as polite as Qu Ziping, pushed the door in and put down the hot water, and held a stack of clothes in front of Zhou Heng.

Zhou Heng looked up and down, with a puzzled expression.

"It's not a year, what are you doing wearing such brocade?"

Boss Xue said reluctantly: "Qu Ziping asked me to call you quickly, saying that someone from the Xianwang Mansion is here, it is the kid who came to give a gift last time, what is his name Wei." ”

Zhou Heng was stunned and thought about it.

"Long Shi Wei Siwen?"

Boss Xue clapped his hands, "That's the name, Qu Ziping handed me these things, and asked me if you see them?" ”

Zhou Heng nodded, "You go and invite someone in, it's okay to see it." ”

Boss Xue hurriedly went out, Zhou Heng changed into clothes, finished washing, and hurriedly walked towards the main hall of the front yard.

Qu Ziping was serving tea when he saw Zhou Heng hurriedly saluting.

Wei Siwen, who was sitting, also quickly got up and bowed to Zhou Heng with a smile.

"Wei Siwen has seen the judgment of the Zhou court."

Zhou Heng returned the salute, and the two sat down.

"Last time for the Chinese New Year, Wei Changshi happened to be absent, so I was really embarrassed."

"The Zhou court judgment is polite, Wei has always admired the medical skills of the Zhou court, and I can see it today, but I didn't expect the Zhou court to be so young, which makes Wei embarrassed."

Zhou Heng picked up the teacup and took a sip of it, then looked at Wei Siwen.

"I don't know if Wei Changshi came here today, but what does King Xian command?"

Wei Siwen hurriedly waved his hand, "King Xian got an object, I thought it was very interesting, let Wei come over to run errands, and give it to the Zhou court." ”

As he spoke, he clapped his hands, and then two people came in the courtyard, carrying a huge box and placing it in the hall.

Wei Siwen got up and opened the box, which was filled with brocade boxes.

Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes slightly, didn't move, just looked at Wei Siwen.

"I don't know if it's ......"

Wei Siwen hurriedly picked up a brocade box and slowly opened it, there were six pearls neatly placed inside, each of the off-white pearls was the size of a quail egg, round and without variegation, with a faint light, it was a fine pearl at a glance.

"It is said that when King Xian's maternal ancestor built the embankment, he inadvertently dug up an ancient tomb, I don't know if it was the emperor's tomb, and found this treasure pit next to the ancient tomb, and sent things back to the capital.

Lord Chen Qing has lived in Shaanxi for a long time, and he didn't let people transport it back, so he sent things to King Xian, King Xian felt that this thing was too yin, but Zhou Yuan judged that he was good at medicine, so he asked Wei to send it, and it would benefit the people if it could be used. ”

Zhou Heng closed the lid of the brocade box, looked at Wei Siwen and smiled.

Gifts can have such eloquence, really should be applauded, obviously after Zhang Fuling entered the palace yesterday, King Xian got some benefits, this is considered to be here to express his good feelings, reach out and don't hit the smiling person, there is no reason to return the gift.

"Then thank you for King Xian's loving heart, Wei Changshi, please take a seat, I don't know how King Xian and Concubine Xian are in the past few days?"

Wei Siwen hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Yesterday, His Majesty has announced the Six Palaces, and will hold a canonization ceremony for the imperial concubine in the near future, and at the same time, the six princesses will be crowned as the princess of Yongle. ”

Zhou Heng glanced at the huge box, in order to be able to accept it, King Xian really tried his best.

It seems that the emperor's canonization is aimed at the crown prince, although it is the income of the concubine and the six princesses, but the biggest beneficiary is still King Xian.

Besides, before in Beishan, the emperor's eldest grandson had such a scene, and the prince's mansion has been full of disasters recently.

Lost a Chen Wenchi, although Wen Shangshu was not implicated, but was forced to hold the illness, the emperor's eldest grandson was disgusted by the queen mother, and now there is such a news, of course King Xian should be happy.

Zhou Heng smiled, "It's not too peaceful to come in Beijing, and Zhou still has to go to Huichun Hall to visit Miss Zhang's condition, so he bothered Wei Changshi to convey his gratitude for Zhou." ”

Wei Siwen hurriedly bowed down, stood up and walked to Zhou Heng's side, with a respectful face, as if Zhou Heng standing in front of him was an official like Shangshu.

"The Zhou court's judgment is heavy, Wei will leave first, don't disturb the hard work of the Zhou court's judgment, we will have a date later!"

Saying that Wei Siwen was about to leave, Zhou Heng quickly got up and called Qu Ziping to see off the guests.

Boss Xue had already entered the hall at some point, standing behind Zhou Heng, looking at the box on the ground, frowning slightly.

"These things were sent by King Xian again?"

Zhou Heng nodded, sat down and picked up the tea and took a few sips, Boss Xue opened the box and looked at it, with a look of disgust.

"The man said, this is dug up from the ancient tomb, why don't you dislike it, how bad luck this is, I think it's better not to ask for it!"

Saying that Boss Xue was about to move the box, Zhou Heng was startled and hurriedly stopped him.

"Are you stupid? The pearls from the ancient tomb are in such boxes, and the size is so uniform, and if you look at the luster, if it is obtained from the ancient tomb, at least it will not be so shiny. ”

When Boss Xue heard this, he quickly opened the box, and the pearls neatly placed inside were really soft and shiny, and the surface was smooth.

"It's a little salty, what's going on?"

Zhou Heng walked over, glanced at it, picked up the box, and handed it to Boss Xue.

Immediately, he found that there was a brocade box underneath this, Zhou Heng pointed his fingers, according to past experience, this virtuous king is definitely thorough in his research on gift-giving.

The brocade box below seems to be bigger than the one above, Zhou Heng bent down and wanted to move it out, but when he hugged the brocade box, he didn't move, and Boss Xue looked at it at the moment.

"Is that box of pearls put away too?"
