285. Man-made disasters
Dabao'en Temple was struck by lightning, it was not a trivial matter, and Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, sighed that Chengyuan was unlucky.
But Cheng Yuan didn't believe in evil, and Zhu Bai told him that Xu Miaojin had also come when it was raining, so maybe he could ask.
"In that case, Shi Kai, please Miss Xu come here overnight."
The main hall of Dabao'en Temple was burned to the ground, black and pressed dust.
Although Xu Miaojin came, she only briefly described the scene at that time.
"That day, I thought that you were not there, and came to help you see the Dabao'en Temple, and I remember that there was a craftsman standing on the roof and fiddling with the pole of the flag, and I couldn't see the craftsman's face clearly."
After Xu Miaojin finished speaking, in Zhu Bai's opinion, this had no effect.
But in Cheng Yuan's eyes, this matter can be regarded as a breakthrough.
Because the Great Bao'en Temple was built by Zhu Di for his mother.
It is very solemn, and these main halls have flags, and the flags are made of wooden poles.
"His Royal Highness the King of Xiang, Zhenguo Gong, I have also heard about the heavenly thunder of Dabao'en Temple this time, but what are the eyebrows."
Xu Miaojin also felt strange, the thunder attack, how impartial, was here in the main hall.
She also felt that there was a conspiracy behind it.
When it rained that night, she came over to check the construction site of Dabao'en Temple, only she knew why in her heart, she was afraid that Cheng Yuan would be framed by some people.
As for why she was afraid, she attributed this concern to the care of relatives.
Zhu Bai suddenly felt that he was too innocent and should think about the conspiracy, so he said: "This king thinks that he should look at those flagpoles." ”
"Looking for a flagpole?" After Cheng Yuan repeated this sentence, he was instantly stunned.
Xu Miaojin and Cheng Yuan glanced at each other, and immediately moved their eyes to Zhu Bai, Cheng Yuan's eyes were the most complicated.
He woke up with confusion, and he knew it best.
Immediately ordered someone to clean up the ashes, and found a few pitch-black sticks from them, Cheng Yuan ordered Shi Kai to wipe the sticks clean and put them aside.
Cheng Yuan said: "Lord Wang, I am sure that the fire in the main hall of Bao'en Temple is not because of the anger of the Heavenly Father, but because someone did it on purpose." ”
Zhu Bai spread his hands and said: "You know, Miss Xu also knows, and this king also knows that it is man-made, but how to make the imperial brother believe that someone did it?" So, the person you should convince is the royal brother. ”
"Then I can only show your majesty the scene of that night at once." Cheng Yuan thought for a while.
Xu Miaojin frowned with thin eyebrows, and began to ponder in her heart, this Dabao'en Temple has just burned, and it will be raining this time, let Your Majesty come here? Cheng Yuan, Cheng Yuan, do you think Your Majesty will come?
Zhu Bai looked around and felt that it was really difficult to show Zhu Di that night again.
It was a good opportunity to prove man-made disasters, but now it has fallen into a dead end.
"Let's eat first." Cheng Yuan saw Shi Kai coming over with Kuang Yu and Song Jing, and proposed.
Zhu Bai was sitting with a clean handkerchief to wipe the cigarette black on his hands, and Xu Miaojin was sitting in front of a stone bench not far away, her calves dangling under her dress.
"Master, I bought it from the restaurant, this is the best wine dish in Tianfu, crispy elbow, duck, sausage and steamed ......."
Cheng Yuan raised his head and complained: "Your master, I'm hungry enough, even if I don't take it out, I shouldn't have hooked my stomach like this first, take it out quickly." ”
Kuang Yu said: "Back to Master, how could I hook your stomach so much, this is ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go to the restaurant, saying that Master, Miss Xu and Master, you have been hungry for a day." ”
"Okay, put the dishes out."
Cheng Yuan and Zhu Bai sat down together, Xu Miaojin kicked Cheng Yuan's leg over and said, "Sit in a sitting position." ”
"That's how I'm sitting, what's wrong?" Cheng Yuan took a bite of food and retorted in a low voice.
"The behavior is indecent, and the words are reasonable." Xu Miaojin rolled her eyes at him with her elegant pick-up dishes.
Cheng Yuan is used to it, this "little aunt" is often like this in the study, seeing that he misbehaves and behaves vulgarly, he has to "spit fragrant" at him.
"Lord Wang, you use it slowly, I've eaten it, let's go see if there are anything else first."
Cheng Yuan lifted his boots, straightened the beam crown on his head, and waited for Kuang Yu to follow them, and then went to the main hall of Dabao'en Temple, which was burned down.
"Hmph, so rude, I really don't know how Ji-jeong can stand him." Xu Miaojin muttered weakly, turned her head and saw Zhu Bai looking at her suspiciously, so she nodded politely and continued to eat.
Because of the discovery of the unburned flagpole, coupled with some bold assumptions of Cheng Yuan, after careful verification, he believed that the thunder was definitely a "man-made disaster".
If the Yongle Emperor knew that someone deliberately led lightning to split his mother's temple, it is estimated that he would directly split the corpses of these people.
"Kuang Yu, you guys work hard tonight. Pick out the unburned flagpole inside. ”
Kuang was stupid: "Master, I'm afraid it won't work out tonight." ”
"Don't listen to the teacher's words?" Cheng Yuan looked at his apprentice with a sense of seriousness.
Kuang Yu looked at the master, who was a few years older than him, and still respected him very much in his heart, the ancients respected the teacher very well.
"Division...... Master, there is still thunder and lightning in the second half of the night tonight, and I am afraid that those medicinal materials in Zhenguo Academy will be forgotten to deal with them. ”
"Thunder and lightning in the middle of the night tonight?" Cheng Yuan pounced like a fierce tiger, grabbed Kuang Yu's shoulder and said, "Are you sure there is thunder and lightning?" ”
Kuang Yu swore seriously, saying that he listened to what the officials of Qin Tianjian said, can there be a fake?
If Kuang Yu didn't say that there was rain in the second half of the night, Cheng Yuan would not invite Zhu Di, so after Kuang Yu left, Cheng Yuan quickly discussed with Zhu Bai and said that he would invite Zhu Di to come over.
Xu Miaojin hesitated, she said nervously: "Then I'll go back to the study first, they are still waiting for me, if my brother-in-law and eldest sister see me running around here, they will give me Zhang Luo's family affairs again." ”
"Oh, then Aunt Xu will go back." Cheng Yuan held his chin and said with a smile.
When the guy in the study saw Xu Miaojin coming out, he immediately opened the carriage curtain and said, "Miss, please." ”
The little maid followed behind and got into the carriage, with a classical gossip face, holding her chin and saying: "Miss, Grandpa Guo asked you to go, is it to thank you for coming to Da Bao'en Temple before, does he have anything to do with you?" ”
It's good that the little maid didn't mention it, but at this mention, Xu Miaojin immediately thought of Cheng Yuan calling her Aunt Xu, so she turned her head and looked at the little maid, and said in a firm tone:
"Don't talk nonsense, otherwise I'll tear your mouth apart, I have nothing to do with him, there won't be before, not now, and not in the future!"
When the little maid saw the young lady say this, she pouted and said helplessly: "Miss, what's wrong with you, I'm just joking with you, you take it seriously." ”
"Go back, I'm tired, you are not allowed to talk nonsense in the future, lest Zhizhen hear it, and then I will be shameless."
It didn't take long for Cheng Yuan and Zhu Bai to enter the palace.
When Zhu Di heard their intentions and didn't say anything, the official on patrol refused, and opposed it with several scholars who participated in political affairs.
Jin Youzi said: "Zhenguo Gong, you actually let Your Majesty leave the palace at night, what is your intention." ”
As a special group, the Ming Dynasty spokesmen played an important role in the entire history of the Ming Dynasty, consisting of supervising the imperial history and giving affairs, and they were in a humble and powerful position, and their most powerful thing was that mouth.
"This ...... Can I have any intentions, Scholar Jin is really a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Cheng Yuan looked at Jin Youzi, then at the people behind him, and said solemnly: "Master Hu, what do you think, if someone deliberately did it this time, I am afraid that there will be a conspiracy behind." ”
