654 I met the immortals
Seeing that the eunuchs in the hall had all retreated, Bao Zhangzheng couldn't help but be a little nervous.
Is the emperor going to talk to him alone?
He has lived for almost a lifetime and has not been treated like this.
But because of the secret hidden in my heart, I only feel uneasy at the moment.
"On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Mount Tai moved, was it really predicted by Yu Aiqing?" Emperor Zhaofeng asked.
After he calmed down about this matter, he thought about it carefully and became suspicious.
Throughout the ages, Bao Zhangzheng, who can really detect the movement of the earth in advance, has never heard of it - even if there is, it is also untestable, and it is impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Anyway, it's the first time he's alive.
Although the prince has met the dreams of the immortals, it doesn't seem too much for Bao Zhangzheng to detect a ground movement, but the confirmation still needs to be confirmed.
But after he asked this sentence, he saw that Bao Zhang was hesitating.
ββ¦β¦β
In the end, he was old, his position was low, and his heart was empty, Bao Zhang was facing the scrutinizing gaze of Emperor Zhaofeng at this time, and he was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat.
After much deliberation, he got up from the drum bench and knelt down tremblingly.
"Weichen didn't dare to deceive the emperor...... But this matter is quite bizarre to say, and Weichen still feels like a dream, but no one will believe it even if he says it......"
When Emperor Zhaofeng heard this, he immediately came to his senses.
Bizarre?
Coincidentally, one of his biggest hobbies is to listen to bizarre things.
"Just say it." Emperor Zhaofeng's surface was silent.
"Yes......"
Bao Zhangzheng said with a complicated expression: "Actually, Weichen should have met an immortal......
"What?!"
When Emperor Zhaofeng heard this, he sat up directly from the chair.
It is extremely rare for the prince to meet an immortal dream, but it can ...... This old man actually said that he had met an immortal!
Is this still worth it?!
"On the night of the third day of the new year, Wei Chen had dinner and took the servants out of the residence, and wanted to go around, but when he went out, a figure flashed in front of him...... Before Weichen could see clearly, he didn't know anything! β
At this time, recalling the incident, Bao Zhangzheng's tone still had fear and excitement.
He didn't dare to talk about it to anyone.
In fact, if the emperor didn't ask carefully, he didn't plan to take the initiative to find out, but even if he asked, he didn't dare to hide it - after all, he really couldn't afford the crime of bullying the king......
"And then?" Emperor Zhaofeng asked anxiously.
Does this old man think he is telling a story in a teahouse? When it comes to the key point, there is a pause!
"Later, when the minister woke up, he was already at the foot of Mount Tai......"
In order to observe nearby, he lived in a town next to Mount Tai, which was only ten miles away from Mount Tai.
Therefore, he only thought that someone had stunned him and carried him captive to the foot of Mount Tai.
"When the minister opened his eyes, he saw a young man dressed in white and with an extraordinary appearance standing in front of him!"
"Have you seen the truth about the other party?" Emperor Zhaofeng hurriedly asked.
"No...... The young man had a fence over his head, and the minister couldn't see his face clearly. β
ββ¦β¦ Then you just said that the other party is extraordinary? Emperor Zhaofeng was so angry when he heard it.
It's better to tell the story more rigorously, such inconsistencies, isn't it asking him to play?
Bao Zhangzheng said: "Your Majesty, do you know that there is a type of person who can't see his appearance clearly, look at his demeanor, and smell his voice, which makes people feel that his appearance must be extremely handsome?" ββThe young man gave the minister such an illusion! β
ββ¦β¦β
Emperor Zhaofeng glanced at him in a complicated manner and urged, "Go on." β
"It was the young man who persecuted his ministers...... Let the minister immediately go to inform the Tai'an prefect Quan, and falsely claimed that he had measured that there would be a ground movement in Mount Tai on the sixth day of the first lunar month, so as to order the right to evacuate the people as soon as possible...... At first, the minister only felt that the other party had other intentions, and he would rather die than agree. β
Emperor Zhaofeng glanced at him: "Go down." β
But then the young man told the minister that he had been poisoned...... If the minister does not comply, he will not get the antidote within five days, and he will turn into a pool of blood and die. Bao Zhangzheng's tone was tense, as if he was there: "...... The minister still didn't agree, but as soon as the young man's voice fell, the minister felt a severe pain all over his bodyβit was extremely strange! β
"It happened that Mount Tai had just revealed a miracle that day, and the other party had a good bearing, unknown origin, and strange means...... The minister speculated whether it was the god of Mount Tai who showed his spirit and wanted to save the innocent people of Mount Tai by the hand of Wei Chen...... Therefore, the minister agreed with suspicion. β
Emperor Zhaofeng was silent for a moment.
It's the first time I've heard someone say that they are afraid of death so righteously.
But it is human nature to cover up cowardice and not want to be charged with disloyalty, and as a reasonable emperor, he is understandable.
But what he didn't understand was that based on these alone, how could this old man conclude that the other party was an immortal?
"Where did you meet later?" Emperor Zhaofeng asked.
"Back to the emperor, Wechen never saw each other again...... Bao Zhangzheng showed an expression of 'the point is here', and said: "The young man agreed with Wechen that day that he would meet at the old place on the seventh day of the first month, and he would deliver the antidote to Wechen." On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Wei Chen returned to the vicinity of Mount Tai with the official mission, but he waited for a day and a night, and no one cameββ"
"The minister should have been the other party's rebellion, and he was ready to die, but after being examined by several doctors, he was all in good health! After returning to Beijing, Weichen also looked for Langzhong, but he never diagnosed anything unusualββ"
Speaking of this, his face was even more surprised: "Even the minister thinks that this body is tougher than before......"
Let me ask, this is not the handiwork of immortals, and what is it?
And he said that he was persecuted, but the young man's attitude was always polite and elegant.
Even when he was told that he was poisonous, there was a hint of pity and guilt.
In short, the more you think about it, the more you have the demeanor of an immortal.
Bao Zhangzheng also told Emperor Zhaofeng these thoughts.
Emperor Zhaofeng was silent for a long time.
Besides, it really looks like that......
"What Wei Chen said is true, and there is no half of it made up...... But the minister should not have made a claim, and threatened to detect the signs of Mount Tai's earth, and the minister committed such a mistake, and he was shameless to excuse him, and asked His Majesty to punish him. Bao Zhang was kowtowing and preaching.
It was not his original intention to deceive the world and steal his name, he originally just wanted to save his life.
Emperor Zhaofeng glanced at him.
Who is this old man embarrassed when he says this?
Not to mention whether he really got the guidance of the god of Mount Tai and whether he could easily punish the crime - just talking about the current situation, Bao Zhangzheng represents his face!
The reputation has already been out, and if the other party is punished in the name of deception at this time, where will he, the emperor, stand?
It will only cause unnecessary public opinion and speculation in the court and among the people, which can be described as harmless and unbeneficial.
