"Didn't the people of Nannei Palace say that King Jing's most precious thing is those Buddhist scriptures in Nannei, if we can set fire to the Buddhist scriptures and King Jing can risk death to save them, then it means that King Jing is really crazy. How could a normal person in the emperor put out a fire to save the Buddhist scriptures? And if King Jing hadn't gone crazy, he would have watched those Buddhist scriptures being burned and remained silent. After all, people will think about themselves in an emergency, and through this method, you can test whether King Jing is crazy or not. ”

After Zhu Jianshen listened, he patted the case and said loudly: "This method is good, and Father-in-law Gu will be fully responsible for this matter." ”

"Yes, thank you for the emperor's reuse." Gu Leng agreed, so he went to plan this matter.

On the second day, he came to Nannei with some palace people, and he saw King Jing still lying on the threshold basking in the sun.

So, he stepped forward and said to him with a smile: "King Jing, today the emperor specially ordered the old slave to send some food to King Jing, and asked King Jing to accept it with a smile." ”

King Jing didn't even look at him.

Gu Lengyi was not angry, Gu Lengyi suddenly sat down and said to King Jing: "King Jing, the old slave heard the emperor say that King Jing has a lot of Buddhist scriptures here, which is King Jing's treasure, I don't know if I can see the old slave and appreciate it?" The old slave also likes Buddhist scriptures the most on weekdays. ”

King Jing Zhu Jianchen suddenly seemed to remember something, he made a "poof" expression, and then whispered to Gu Leng Yi: "Yes, I have a lot of Buddhist scriptures here, but this is my treasure, don't tell others." ”

He spoke in a tone and expression like that of a child.

Gu Leng smiled and said to him, "Don't worry, I will never tell anyone." But you said that you have a lot of Buddhist scriptures here, and I haven't seen them, so why should I believe you? ”

Zhu Jianchen looked around, then dragged him and said, "You come here to have a look, my Buddhist scriptures are here, don't tell anyone." ”

"I see."

So, Gu Lengyi followed him to the back of his hall.

I saw that there was nothing in the hall, there were pillars with peeling red paint everywhere, and some old cobwebs, and I saw that there were indeed many Buddhist scriptures under those old cobwebs.

The sutra looked very old, and some of the pages that had been turned were wrinkled, and some were yellow, obviously very old and no one had read them.

Zhu Jianchen pointed to the Buddhist scripture and said to Gu Lengyi: "Let me tell you, this is my precious Buddhist scripture, I have never told anyone." Because someone is going to grab it, don't tell anyone! ”

Gu Lengyi agreed, and at this time, as if inadvertently, he suddenly threw the candlestick he had been holding in his hand into the Buddhist scriptures.

The sutra was originally a little dry, but now once it was burned by the candlestick, it suddenly burned.

Then Gu Lengyi said to Zhu Jianchen: "Lord Wang, it's not good, you see that the Buddhist scriptures are on fire." ”

Zhu Jianchen suddenly saw the Buddhist scripture on fire, and immediately shouted, "Wow", and he rushed towards the Buddhist scripture.

I saw that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and Zhu Jianchen tried to extinguish those fires with his body in vain, the raging flames were burned on his arms, and even his clothes were on fire on his chest, but Zhu Jianchen was at a loss, still there to rescue the Buddhist scriptures.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and Zhu Jianchen even covered his entire body on it.

At this time, Gu Lengyi had already felt the smell of burns from his body, but Zhu Jianchen didn't seem to feel pain, just shouted there: "My Buddhist scriptures, my Buddhist scriptures." ”

The fire on his body was getting bigger and bigger, and Gu Lengyi originally wanted to burn him to death, lest he really go against Zhu Jianshen in the future.

But Gu Lengyi looked at him as if he was really a fool, if he took it upon himself to burn Zhu Jianchen to death, then if Zhu Jianshen could forgive him, then the eldest princess Jian Huaizhen would definitely not let him kill the children of the royal family by a eunuch.

As soon as he thought of Wan Zhen'er's fate, the whole person immediately became alert, and hurriedly said to those little eunuchs: "Hurry up and fetch water to extinguish the fire on the prince's body." ”

"Yes." The little eunuchs agreed, so they went to the courtyard to get water, and then brought the water over and threw it on Zhu Jianchen's body.

After the water hit Zhu Jianchen's body, there was a thunderclapping sound.

The fire on Zhu Jianchen's body was quickly extinguished, but at this moment, the clothes on his body were also burned, and there were many big blisters on his arms, chest, and arms, which looked very terrifying.

Zhu Jianchen was still holding his Buddhist scriptures, crying loudly: "My Buddhist scriptures, my Buddhist scriptures, why are my Buddhist scriptures burned out like this?" It's you, you're not good people, you pay for my sutras. ”

After finishing speaking, he rushed towards Gu Gonggong.

Father-in-law Gu didn't expect him to be so powerful as a crazy and stupid person.

Gu Lengyi was slammed to the ground by him, and he almost lost his breath.

Gu Lengyi was very depressed in his heart, but he knew that although he was a madman, he was also a prince.

If he has any disadvantages for him, then the emperor and the eldest princess will definitely not let him go.

So he held back the anger in his heart, stood up with the support of the little eunuch, and said, "Go back." ”

Then he instructed the little eunuch, "Take some medicine for fire burns and apply it to the prince." ”

"Yes." There was a little eunuch on the side who agreed.

After Gu Lengyi went back, he reported what he saw to Zhu Jianshen.

After Zhu Jianshen listened, he thought for a while and said: "So it seems that Zhu Jianchen, the king of Jing, doesn't look like he is fake and crazy, if he is fake and crazy, how can he be stupid to put his whole person into the fire to save the Buddhist scriptures." ”

Gu Lengyi pondered there, silent.

Zhu Jianshen saw that Gu Leng didn't speak, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Grandpa Gu, why didn't you say a word, do you think what I said is wrong?" ”

"Your Majesty, the old slave doesn't think that what the emperor said is wrong, but the old slave feels that this matter can't be 100% accurate. If the prince had expected that the emperor might come to test him, so he deliberately made that appearance, maybe he had already expected in his heart that the old slave would definitely bring someone to save him and the scriptures. If this is the case, the emperor and the old slave will all be fooled by him. ”

"What you say is not unreasonable, but how can we test him now? He's covered in wounds now. Zhu Jianshen asked Gu Lengyi.

Gu Leng thought for a moment and said, "The old slave has already sent someone to get some burn medicine. If the prince really wasn't crazy, then he would definitely wipe those burn medicines on his body. If he was really crazy, then he wouldn't know how to apply burn medicine to his body. When the time comes, we just need to see if he has any burn medicine on his body. ”

"Okay." Zhu Jianshen nodded and said, "Father-in-law Gu, you are really a talent, you are much more capable than Lin Jian'an, who served me before. ”

Gu Lengyi hurriedly knelt down and said, "The old slave doesn't dare, it's all the emperor's teaching." ”

Zhu Jianshen nodded.

After three or four days in a row, Zhu Jianshen suddenly remembered the injury on Zhu Jianchen's body, so he said to Gu Lengyi: "Father-in-law Gu once said to me before, if Jianchen is willing to smear the wounds on his body, it means that Jianchen is not crazy. If he doesn't know how to smear the wounds on his body, then he's a madman. Now that it's been three days, let's go and see how Chen's is doing. ”

Gu Lengyi hurriedly agreed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." ”

So, he led the way in front, Zhu Jianshen followed behind, and the two of them came to Nannei again.

When they arrived in Nannei, the two little eunuchs were still guarding there.

The two little eunuchs usually looked very calm, but this time they had sad faces, and the two looked at each other, as if they had something very difficult.

When they saw Zhu Jianshen coming, they hurriedly knelt down for Zhu Jianshen to say goodbye.

Zhu Jianshen saw their sad faces, so he asked casually and said, "What's wrong with you?" Why do I see you so sad today? ”

One of the little eunuchs said to Zhu Jianshen: "Your Majesty, the reason why we are sad is because of the prince. Hey, the situation of the prince is really miserable. ”

"What's wrong?" Zhu Jianshen asked.

The little eunuch said slowly: "Last time, the prince didn't know why he was burned, and after being burned, Father-in-law Gu sent someone to send some burn medicine, but our prince didn't know how to apply it himself. He refused to let us touch him when we smeared him, but instead he smeared the burned sutras, and now he himself has become less like a human and a ghost. ”

"Oh?" After Zhu Jianshen listened, he felt slightly surprised.

So, he walked in with Gu Lengyi.

After they walked in, they saw that Zhu Jianchen was dancing there at this moment.

He had one scripture book after another in his hand, and the wounds on his body that day had been burned by the fire had festered, and even had suppurated in some places, and he looked very horrible one after another.

And he didn't know how to wipe the burn medicine on his body at all, but while rubbing the burn medicine on the Buddhist scriptures, he whispered: "Little boys, after the medicine is wiped off, the illness is cure." ”

It just kept repeating itself.

After Zhu Jianshen saw it, he only felt very miserable.

Although this Zhu Jianchen is indeed the son of Emperor Jing, he has not had any impact on Zhu Jianshen before, nor has he done anything bad to Zhu Jianshen.

And he is a member of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Jianshen can actually be regarded as brothers.

So when Zhu Jianshen saw him in such a miserable state, he still felt unbearable, so he walked out without talking to Zhu Jianchen.

After he came out, he said to Gu Lengyi: "Father-in-law Gu, you have also seen his situation, it is really pitiful. Send a few men to serve him at once. ”

"But don't you think he's still a little suspicious, Your Majesty?" Gu Leng asked Zhu Jianshen.

Zhu Jianshen shook his hand and said a little angrily: "Enough, I don't want to hear this kind of thing again in the future, and I don't want to hear anyone talk about Erlong County again." Although there is indeed Erlong County on the stele, the eldest princess is right, firstly, it may be that Erlong County is really a rumor, and secondly, it may be that even if this matter is true, then it has nothing to do with King Jing. You also saw Zhu Jianchen's appearance just now, how could he harm others. ”

After saying that, he threw up his sleeves and walked away.

Gu Lengyi originally wanted to gain the emperor's trust and become the emperor's confidant, but he didn't expect that now his wish could not be achieved, but he was also reprimanded by the emperor.

Since the emperor didn't suspect Zhu Jianchen at all, there was nothing he could do.

Because this Zhu Jianchen is either really crazy, or the city is extremely deep.

Because Gu Lengyi didn't find anything unusual about him, let alone the emperor.

So Gu Lengyi ordered a few people to get burn medicine for Zhu Jianchen, and then followed Zhu Jianshen closely.

It was night when Nannei was brightly lit, and Jian Huaizhen took advantage of the night to gently walk into Nannei.

When she saw Zhu Jianchen's whole body lying there, her body was already a little ulcerated, and she couldn't help but feel a little pity in her heart.

She said: "Chen'er, maybe the method that this palace taught you is not right, and it has made you so far. In the end, there is nothing wrong with this palace, and it is not good to protect its juniors. ”

But Zhu Jianchen smiled, shook his head and said, "Eldest Princess, you don't have to blame yourself, these are just skin injuries, and it's really a piece of cake for me." ”

Zhu Jianchen's eyes were shining with golden light at this moment, where did he look like a crazy and stupid person.

Jian Huaizhen nodded and said, "This is also thanks to your cleverness and willingness to do what the palace says, and now that you are pretending to be crazy, the emperor must have completely believed in you, and he will not embarrass you again in the future." ”

Zhu Jianchen nodded and said, "Thank you, Princess Huang." ”

"It's just that it's not interesting for you to live alone in this south, so it's better to ask the emperor for a fief from the palace and let you live in the fief."

Jian Huaizhen offered to help Zhu Jianchen apply for a fief, and then sent him to the fief, but Zhu Jianchen politely refused.

Zhu Jianchen said with a smile: "The eldest princess, in fact, Chen'er lives very well in this harem, although it is a little shabby here, but it is like a paradise, no one has ever bothered me, I live here alone." ”

Jian Huaizhen thought about it, and still said without worry: "Even if the emperor is willing to believe it this time, then who will be able to say it clearly in the future?" ”

"Hey......" Zhu Jianchen let out a long sigh and said: "It's still that sentence life and death, wealth is in the sky, in fact, I have never cared about my life." In fact, I was wrong when I was first born, and it is already considered a good thing for me to let me live for so long. And the person I know has died, and now I am the only one left, I live alone in this courtyard, I feel that although the whole body is bound, but the mind can be free from anything to soar freely between heaven and earth, this is the most painful thing for me. If the eldest princess is really good to me, the eldest princess might as well send me some more Buddhist scriptures. As long as I have Buddhist scriptures as my company, my life will be happy. ”

Jian Huaizhen saw that he had made up his mind, and knew that it was meaningless to continue.

Now that Zhu Jianshen is willing to dispel the idea of dealing with Zhu Jianchen, Jian Huaizhen is relieved.

That's why she nodded and said to Zhu Jianchen, "Okay." In that case, the palace is assigning a few capable palace maids to serve you. If you have any needs, remember to tell Hongu in person. Since you are a disciple of the Ming clan, this palace will definitely help you. ”

Zhu Jianchen's eyes couldn't help but show a look of gratitude, and he said to Jian Huaizhen: "Eldest Princess, thank you. Since Jianchen was born, no one has ever been so kind to Jianchen. ”

"What's the use of silly children saying this, you are the junior of this palace, of course this palace has the responsibility to take care of you. If this palace can't take good care of you, this palace won't have the face to see Emperor Chen Zu and Emperor Sun De in the future, right? ”

Zhu Jianchen laughed.

Jian Huaizhen chatted with Zhu Jianchen for a few more words, and then walked out of Nannei and returned to Wan'an Palace.

Zhu Jianshen passed this incident, although he did not punish Zhu Jianchen, but after this incident, he took the palace maid beside Zhu Jianchen as his own.

And after staying by his side for a while, he made him a nobleman again, and his nickname was Xia.

Because he felt that he was very young at this moment, and the whole person was as long as the vast summer, and he was enthusiastic and unrestrained, so he became a Xia nobleman by his side.

And because Zhu Jianshen has not been as good as before for Tang Jingran these days, he has been tired of being by his side for a long time.

This new Xia Guiren has an excellent temper, both to his subordinates and to the people around him.

In addition, she is very generous, and she quickly won the trust of the people around her.

Not long after becoming a noble person of Zhu Jianshen, at this time, there was an incredible thing in the world, that is, the false transmission of the holy decree.

This decree has always been only available in the imperial palace, and only the emperor's order is a holy decree, but recently there have been many cases of false decrees.

The content of those decrees is nothing more than someone pretending to be the emperor's order to falsely pass on the decree, and then looting gold and silver treasures from the magistrates.

But the magistrates had no way to distinguish between the truth and the falsehood of the decree, so many people took it seriously.

As a result, the people in many places involved will have to pay a lot of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes and complain for days.

This false transmission of the holy decree has never been exposed, and the reason why it was exposed was also encountered by Jian Huaizhen in the absence of doubt.

On this day, Jian Huaizhen was in Huaiming Yuan to catch up with Jiang Shaoheng and others, and after she came back, she wandered around the capital, wanting to see the people's livelihood in the capital.

Who knew that at this time, there were many people kneeling on the ground and begging for Jian Huaizhen.
