Chapter 50 is a failure

Zhao Ta lived in Xiangyi for three more days, before Shi Shiran got on the boat and went south, he shed tears and said goodbye, the forbidden army with him, and the officials who accompanied him were also full of tears, not only because the prince found it, remembered his errand, mainly because his wallet was empty, in the past, he accompanied Qin on a trip to eat and drink, and he had to take some souvenirs before leaving, but now he is on the territory of the prince, not only do they have to pay according to the price, but they don't dare to ask for it in vain, and they understand that the people in this place are really rich, and eating and drinking are very expensive, and they can't compare with BeijingIf they continue to live, they will have to sleep on the streets and drink porridge to survive.

The fleet set off again with one more ship, and the vanguard was still on the ship of the forbidden army and the accompanying officials, in the middle was Zhao Ta's boat, and behind was Zhao Yong's one hundred and ten personal guards in Yidu, and the three big ships were headed down the river. Zhao Ta's ship was the largest, but the number of people was the smallest, and he, He Qufei and Huang Jingchen took thirty guards to occupy the second floor. This passenger ship is specially designed for official travel, the second floor is divided into several large rooms, Zhao Ta of course lives in the largest room, the bedroom, living room, guest room, study, bathroom are all available, Huang Jingchen and He Qufei The two old men occupy another suite, and the rest are shared by the guards.

Since he had to spend a period of time on the boat, Zhao Ta didn't mind decorating his 'room' more comfortably, he leaned on a rocking chair and swayed with Erlang's legs crossed, and on the low table next to him were fruits, snacks, tea, and a stack of music tables, all of which were all from various roads, and the state capital, county government and even the township central security were reporting to the court that they had found auspicious music tables.

Zhao Ta was throwing it while watching, and when he saw Xi, he frowned and cleaned it up, "What kind of thing is this, can a cow give birth to a unicorn?" Is it artificial insemination, or is the female unicorn extinct, just find a female one" He finished reading a watch, shook his hand and threw it away.

"Second master, don't throw it away, these recitals can't be damaged, otherwise we won't be able to explain when we go back" Seeing that Xi hurriedly caught the recitals floating over, and carefully put them away, the prince scolded for a long time after watching it for a long time.

It is clearly written in the recital, auspicious rui was found somewhere, there are witnesses, physical evidence, and even physical objects, if it is fake, it is the crime of defrauding the king, but the prince said that it is all fake. "Could it be that those magistrates are all crazy at the same time, and collectively talk nonsense?" He was also a little confused, he had unconditional trust in the prince, and if the prince said that it was fake, these things must be false, because this conclusion has been proven countless times.

"Qian Bo Lilu is moving" Zhao Ta shook his head, "See, you don't need to look at these, you arrange these recitals according to the order of our itinerary, let's go to see them one by one" The main task of his trip is to verify the authenticity of these auspicious Rui for the Son of Heaven and urge the flower stone, he now only looks at the recital and already knows that most of these things are fake, and the rest are not yet available in this era with scientific knowledge to interpret.

Zhao Ji has been on the throne for a few years, although there are not too many political achievements worthy of praise, but it is also strange, most of the world is smooth, there is no catastrophe, or he can't help but toss so much, fighting, it is limited to the northwest corner, it can be described as 'peaceful and prosperous'. In order to show that he has made meritorious contributions to governing the country and is satisfied with God, he fell in love with the so-called auspicious rui such as the subordinates offering nectar, the Yellow River Qing, the Yugui out, the Jiahe Zhicao Tongbunsheng, the Ruimai overnight, and the wild silkworm cocoon.

The so-called 'King of Chu loves a thin waist, and the palace starves to death', the top is good, and the bottom will be very bad, so the courtiers will hollow out their minds and fabricate all kinds of auspicious blessings to prove that the holy king was born and the world is peaceful. More often than not, Zhao Ji directly participated in the fabrication of such lies, and he was in collusion with each other, and he never got tired of it, and many people were even more exhausted, so as to gain the favor of the king and win the generous fortune as a promotion rank. The bull is blowing bigger and bigger, the satellite is getting higher and higher, and many of the made-up stories have become absurd and funny, and even I don't believe it anymore.

The world is like this, people compete for favors, and slowly unscrupulous means. The legendary Bigan tomb has a rare treasure that can be regarded as the first in the world, which is the "copper plate epitaph" cast by King Wu of Zhou for the tomb of Bigan. It is said that this epitaph is very peculiar, and the front of the copper plate is sixteen words, namely, "the front post and the back road, the left forest and the right spring, the Ning of eternity, this is a treasure." "The back of the copper plate is a mirror, every year in the middle of the autumn moon, with chicken skin to polish the mirror smooth, look at the moonlight, you can see the head of Bigan, than Gan in the mirror can also talk to people outside. …,

It is precisely because of this epitaph that Bigan, who has been dead for hundreds of years, suffered another catastrophe. Li Chaoru was a transit envoy from Shaanxi, an official who managed the transportation of rice, grain, coins, and materials in Shaanxi. Although this official position is not a big official, it has a lot of oil and water. Li Chaoru is not a good official, and he is very good at drilling, for the sake of his own future, he personally led people to dig Bigan's tomb, thinking that Bigan was a great loyal minister, but was dug up by a villain for personal gain, which became a great irony, which is the absurd result caused by absurd reasons.

．．．．．．

The boat line arrived at Nanjing Yingtianfu one day, although it was already twilight, but could not stop the enthusiasm of the place, Yingtianfu stayed behind and Songzhou Zhizhou had been waiting at the dock, blowing and blowing to welcome everyone into the city post house, where a banquet had already been prepared for the prince to receive the wind and wash the dust. They had already discovered that Prince Yan didn't like women, so they had to eat, and of course they did their best to buy food.

"Lord Wang, the lower officials heard that the prince preached Jiangnan on behalf of the saint, looking for auspiciousness, and there were grass people in Benzhou who offered a toad with Ganoderma lucidum on his back, and asked the prince to hand it over to the saint" Li Hui, the prefect of Songzhou, saw that the prince was happy to eat, and bowed down and said.

"Oh, there are such strange things, I don't know where this auspicious rui is, I will see it" Zhao Ta was almost choked, he had only heard that Cordyceps was a twin of animals and plants, and he had never heard of his mother's toad growing Ganoderma lucidum, which he was really a little vague about, could it be that the spores of Ganoderma lucidum fell on the toad and took it as a parasite, just like the green turtle.

"Lord, the lower officials heard that if the toad can live for tens of thousands of years, it can give birth to Ganoderma lucidum grass on its back, and the mushroom is an auspicious thing, and the birth of this thing indicates that the world is peaceful, and the long-term peace and stability will be brought down above the first nine heavens, and all living beings in the world will be benefited by it, so there is a toad with sesame grass on the back is born. The toad and the herbaceous herb are two things, and now the two are combined, which can be said to be particularly precious in all kinds of auspiciousness," Song Qiaonian, who stayed in Nanjing, was afraid that the prince would not know the goods, so he quickly explained.

"Lord Wang, please see" While speaking, Li Hui personally carried a golden basin and carefully sent it to Zhao Taji.

"Well, it's a good thing, the toad seems to be alive" Zhao Ta instructed Jianxi to take the lamp and candle closer to take a closer look, a bowl of big toad in the basin was lying in the basin with his eyes slightly closed, and a palm-sized sesame grass growing on his back, looking very weird.

"The prince has good eyesight, this toad will chirp every cloudy day" Li Huimei said with a smile, "Don't move, this auspicious rui is the most jealous of others to disturb" He saw that Zhao Ta was going to poke with his fingers, and hurriedly stopped it.

"What Governor Li said is that this king is reckless" Zhao Ta withdrew his hand, but he always felt that this toad didn't look like it was alive, its belly didn't move, as if it was not breathing, "Governor Li, this toad can't do without water, how about filling some water in the basin", Zhao Ta was a little unwilling, if you have a heart, I'll put some water for you, see if you can swim

"The prince is wise, the lower official will let people fill water" Li Hui called a subordinate and ordered him to take a bottle of water and pour it into the golden basin with his own hands, and the toad actually floated slowly, but his arms and legs didn't move.

"Auspicious from the sky, protect me from the Song Taiping, we have this cup" Although Zhao Ta was puzzled, he didn't see any flaws, and he couldn't say anything, so he raised his glass and said.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live" Everyone in the hall, under the leadership of the prince, got up and faced the north, shouted long live, and drank a cup.

"Li Zhifu shepherds one side, loyal to the country, get this auspicious, this king will be gifted to the saint, to be rewarded" Zhao Ta said loudly, next, everyone took turns to toast to the prince, congratulate the emperor Sheng'an, and toast to Li Hui, wishing him a high promotion, everyone is happy, the scene is warm, and the staggered planning is not aware that it is late at night.

"Lord Wang, this auspicious rui doesn't seem to be quite right" Jianxi, who was standing behind Zhao Ta, suddenly leaned into Zhao Ta's ear and said.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Ta drank a lot, burped and said loudly.

"The toad seems to be molting," Jian Xi said, pointing to the golden basin and frowning.

"Fart, the toad doesn't fade at this time" Zhao Ta scolded in his mouth, but his eyes looked at Xiangrui in the golden basin, looked at it for a moment, and couldn't help but take a breath, rubbing his eyes vigorously as if he didn't believe his eyes, and then looked at it, there were indeed small cracks on the toad's body.

"Lord Wang, what's wrong?" Seeing that the prince's face changed several times, Song Qiaonian and Li Hui were taken aback and hurriedly asked.

"Come and see for yourselves," Zhao said, slamming the wine glass in his hand on the table.

"Huh?" Song Qiaonian exclaimed in surprise, but Li Hui didn't say anything, but the wine he drank turned into sweat and flowed down his sideburns.

"Governor Li, what do you have to say?" Zhao Ta stretched out his hand and fished out the 'auspicious rui' from the golden basin, threw it in front of Li Hui and said.

"Oh, this toad not only has sesame grass on its body, but also cotton wool grows in its belly, isn't it lucky?" said a benevolent brother who had obviously drunk too much, stretched his neck to look at Xiangrui on the ground, and spewed wine.

"Don't say it, you don't see that the prince is in a hurry," one of the people on the side quickly covered his mouth and lowered his head and said.

"The king... "Li Hui trembled for a long time and finally got up, knelt on the ground and said, he is now repentant to go home, the sesame grass is real, but the toad is the skin he found someone to make of cloth, stuffed with cotton wool, and painted with paint, and then glued the bought sesame grass to the toad's back, the craftsman's means are indeed extraordinary, this handicraft is made vividly, can be fake and true, but the cowhide is blown up, saying that it is alive, causing the prince to soak it in water, I didn't expect the soak to leak the filling......
