Chapter 217: The Eunuch Dies
"Return, return to the Overseer, then, that side collapsed." The soldier in the lead replied in a trembling voice.
Large-scale works, the ground is collapsing, isn't it normal, it is necessary to be so flustered?
Seeing Wei Xiaobao frowning, another soldier hurriedly added: "A stone tablet appeared in the collapsed place, and the words on it ......"
Several soldiers were hesitant and did not dare to say the words on the stone tablet.
Wei Xiaobao snorted coldly and strode towards the collapse.
It had been cordoned off by officers and soldiers, and the craftsmen had all been gathered to deal with it at a distance, waiting for the next order.
The collapse was so severe that it was more than thirty meters in diameter, and a sinkhole appeared directly on the ground.
Wei Xiaobao came to the edge, looked over, and saw a huge stone tablet standing at the bottom.
There are only four words engraved on the stele:
The eunuch died in Wei.
Seeing these four words, Wei Xiaobao couldn't help but sneer.
Ridor has to be like this, but it's basically artificial, just to achieve some kind of purpose.
Now it seems that the appearance of this stele was also deliberately done by someone in order to frame Wei Xiaobao.
Compared to the collapse of the ground, this stone tablet is obviously a little small, and compared to the big pit, it looks out of place.
Wei Xiaobao put his hands behind his back and ordered: "Find more people and pull up the stele." ”
The soldiers immediately went into action.
After a long time, Zhao Ziyi, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, appeared in front of Wei Xiaobao in disheveled clothes.
"Xiaguan Zhao Ziyi pays a visit to the overseer." Zhao Ziyi knelt down and saluted.
He had already heard the contents of the stele from the soldiers, and he almost scared himself to death at that time.
You must know that if those four words spread, it will be very unfavorable to Wei Xiaobao.
Zhao Ziyi came in a hurry, just to block the news.
Wei Xiaobao waved his hand and said, "Get up and speak." ”
Seeing that the soldiers were already trying to find a way to get the stone tablet up, Zhao Ziyi was quite puzzled and asked in a low voice, "Overseer, what are you doing?" ”
Wei Xiaobao said with a smile: "Pull up the stele and send it to the palace for the Emperor Taishang to see." ”
"No, my lord." Zhao Ziyi was shocked.
If Wei Xiaobao really did this, something big would definitely happen.
Wei Xiaobao laughed and said, "Why not? ”
"If the Emperor sees these four words, the situation of the overseer will be very troublesome, and if this matter spreads, what will the people think, it will also be very troublesome......" Zhao Ziyi secretly thought that with Wei Xiaobao's intelligence, it was impossible not to think of this.
Wei Xiaobao said: "To the Emperor Taishang, to Your Majesty, to Da Wei, I have a clear conscience. ”
Zhao Ziyi was deeply admired, and couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for Wei Xiaobao.
The stele was very heavy, and the soldiers tried for a long time, but they were unsuccessful.
"Overseer, go and call more people." Zhao Ziyi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
At this moment, Tie Feixue arrived at the same time with Jinyiwei, Ling Huchan and Wei Qi with the Dongchang messengers.
When they saw the stone monument in the pit, they were shocked.
They thought the same as Zhao Ziyi, they should block the news and cover up the matter secretly.
Wei Xiaobao didn't bother to explain, and said with a smile: "You guys do me a favor and get the stone tablet up." ”
Seeing that Wei Xiaobao insisted on this, everyone had no choice but to go down to help.
But the stele was too heavy to pull it up.
Wei Xiaobao was quite speechless and said, "Don't you know the principle of leverage?" ”
The crowd looked at each other, unable to understand what Wei Xiaobao was saying.
Wei Xiaobao sighed, and immediately personally commanded, allowing the soldiers to deploy quickly.
A support was erected outside the pit, and then the long, thick wooden rafters were used as levers, and dozens of soldiers pulled the ropes, and actually pulled the heavy stone monument.
Watching the stele slowly rise, everyone felt incredible, and they couldn't imagine that there could be such a labor-saving method.
"Overseer, how did you come up with that?" Ling Huchan asked adoringly.
Wei Xiaobao chuckled: "This is common sense. ”
Common sense?
Tie Feixue muttered in her heart, if it was really common sense, how could she not know?
"With the tools created by the overseer, Xia Guan feels that the progress of the construction of this Foyin Temple can be faster." Zhao Ziyi didn't forget to pat himself on the back.
The stele was pulled up, loaded into a cart, and transported to the palace.
Wei Xiaobao rode in front, and when he approached the palace, he whispered, "Chan'er, you go back first." ”
Ling Huchan nodded and reluctantly retreated to the side.
The stele was transported all the way to the outside of the Qiankun Palace.
Li Zheng had already gotten the news and came out to check it out.
Seeing the four words on the stele, Li Zheng smiled and said, "Xiaobao, how do I feel that these four words are aimed at you?" ”
The hundred officials had already come to the outside of the Qiankun Palace, and when they saw those four words, their faces were very solemn.
It's just that Li Zheng's mentality is so relaxed, which is really beyond the expectations of hundreds of officials.
Wei Xiaobao knelt down and said, "Emperor Taishang Mingjian." ”
"Looking for someone to inspect it, I want to see if this stone tablet fell from the sky, or grew out of the ground, or someone deliberately carved it." Li Zheng's voice began to become cold.
The words on the stele are very neatly carved, which shows that the craftsman's knife skills are very good.
And the stele has been aged and treated like an antique.
Someone who knew this came to check it out, and soon came to the conclusion that the stele should have been carved in the past two days, and the old method was not clever and extremely clumsy.
Li Zheng looked at Baiguan with a smile and asked, "What do you think about this matter?" ”
"Back to the emperor, Weichen thought that someone deliberately framed it, just to shake the pillars of my Great Wei." Yan Xueli was the first to stand up and say.
"Wechen thinks so too." Liu Shangwen seconded.
Someone took the lead, and all the officials naturally seconded it, and they didn't dare to object.
Li Zheng waved his hand and said, "It's all gone." ”
Hundreds of officials retired one after another.
Li Zheng looked at the stele and asked with a smile, "Xiaobao, what do you say should be done with this stele?" ”
Wei Xiaobao said respectfully: "It's all up to the Emperor Tai Shang to deal with." ”
Li Zheng thought for a while and said, "Destroy it." ”
"It seems that it is not good to destroy it, but it makes more sense to keep it." Li Zheng quickly shook his head again.
Wei Xiaobao sighed and asked with a wry smile, "Is the Emperor really willing to believe that someone is trying to frame me?" ”
"If you secretly dispose of the stele, it means that there is a ghost in your heart, but you move the stele here, which is enough to prove that your heart is open." Li Zheng said with a smile.
It's just that in that smile, Wei Xiaobao still saw some doubts.
Even if he can have a clear conscience, I'm afraid that people in this world won't believe it.
"Xiaobao, but after this matter spreads, I'm afraid it will cause ...... to you" Li Zheng was thinking about what to do to eliminate the impact of this matter.
Wei Xiaobao said: "The Emperor doesn't have to worry, time will tell." ”
Li Zheng nodded and said, "This stone tablet is standing in the Imperial Garden." ”
"Yes." Wei Xiaobao agreed.
Li Zheng did this, seemingly because he trusted Wei Xiaobao, but in fact, he wanted to remind himself, and even remind Li Changqing in the future, that he must keep these four words in mind.
The eunuch died in Wei.
Dynasties that reuse eunuchs will be smoky and cannot last long, which is a lesson from a long history.
When he returned to the house, it was almost evening, and Nangong Yushang prepared a sumptuous dinner, waiting for Wei Xiaobao to come back and start.
"Xianggong, it's going to be fine, right?" After Nangong Yushang learned about this, her heart kept beating wildly, and she always felt that something big would happen.
Even if the stele is someone who wants to frame Wei Xiaobao, the impact of those four words really can't be eliminated.
Wei Xiaobao smiled: "It's okay, I put the stele in the Imperial Garden." ”
"What does Li Zheng mean?" Ling Huchan frowned and asked.
Seeing Wei Xiaobao nodding, Ling Huchan felt uncomfortable.
Li Zheng's move was definitely to remind himself that he could not let the prophecy on the stone tablet come true.
Now that Li Zheng is still alive and has energy, he will definitely think about the future and try his best to help Li Changqing clear all obstacles.
"The Doge's future is bound to be difficult." Ling Huchan actually wanted to say more, but she was afraid that because of this stone tablet, the Northern Expedition would be completely ruined.
Wei Xiaobao chuckled and said: "The soldiers are coming, the water is coming, and the water is covering the earth, so you don't have to think so much for the time being." ”
"By the way, in two days it will be the scripture conference." Ling Huchan swallowed the food in her mouth and said with a smile.
