Without waiting for Master Hu to speak, Jin Youzi took over the baton: "Your Majesty, as for the lightning strike in the main hall of Bao'en Temple, whether it was Tiangong's anger or deliberate, it can be traced in the future."

Right now, the black clouds are rolling, it is really inappropriate for Your Majesty to go to the Dabao'en Temple, the ministers are bold, please Your Majesty don't go to the Dabao'en Temple, and then send someone to it. ”

Cheng Yuan also knew that it was not appropriate for Zhu Di to leave the palace and go to Dabao'en Temple, but if Zhu Di was not allowed to see the lightning strike reappear, he was afraid that Zhu Di would not believe it too much in his heart.

Yanguan hurriedly said: "Your Majesty ......" wants to persuade Zhu Di not to go out of the palace to Dabao'en Temple.

Zhu Di made a decision: "Send someone to transfer some guards first, and a few of you will go together, and leave other things to the queen today." ”

Zhu Gaochi still wanted to go for Zhu Di by himself, but Zhu Di wanted to see it with his own eyes, and he only believed what he saw with his own eyes in the matter of Bao'en Temple.

Zhu Bai was surprised, he didn't expect his imperial brother to attach so much importance to the temple.

Cheng Yuan didn't say a word, and arched his hand: "The minister immediately leads the way for Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Di said to Cheng Yuan again: "Cheng Yuan, originally this matter has nothing to do with you. You went to Chaohu Lake to return to Beijing, and it stands to reason that you should be let go back, but you are the main figure of Da Bao'en Temple, so do your best. ”

After Cheng Yuan returned to Beijing from Chaohu, he did not even have the mansion gate.

Cheng Yuan lowered his eyes: "The state affairs are great, and the ministers must do their best to share the worries of the people and the court." ”

Zhu Di listened to the chatter between Yanguan and Jin Youzi, and thought with emotion that the Great Bao'en Temple he had built for the old lady was now thundered, so he naturally wanted to go and see it.

Zhu Di believes in fate and heaven, but he does not believe in evil, Cheng Yuan said that Dabao'en Temple will be split once tonight, and where he lets him split, thunder will split it.

Isn't this, Zhu Di always felt that he had been deceived and insulted, how could anyone lead the sky to thunder at will.

"Cheng Yuan, if you can't guide the thunder to come down tonight, I will punish you for the crime of bullying the king!" Zhu Di raised his voice.

Jin Youzi and they also agreed.

Zhu Bai, Zhu Gaochi looked at Cheng Yuan with some sympathy.

Cheng Yuan smiled and didn't speak, he was not reckless, but learned from Kuang Yu that there was still thunder and rain tonight.

Later, when he entered the palace, he sent someone to Qintianjian to ask the supervisor, knowing that thunder would start in the second half of the night, so he invited Zhu Di to come to the construction site of Dabao'en Temple.

Zhu Di is also the first time to come to Dabao'en Temple, he usually listens to Cheng Yuan's report, the craftsman because it is dark, he doesn't think much about it, thinking that Cheng Yuan is still investigating the Tianlei case, but it is strange that there are a lot of guards.

But they craftsmen don't dare to inquire more about this kind of thing.

Although Zhu Di came, his mood was obviously not very happy: "You give me evidence, is this the only way to prove that I can't sleep tonight, and I have to brave the rain to come to the main hall of the damaged Dabao'en Temple."

So bold, you are the first one of the hundred officials to do this, and at dawn, if you don't give me a reason to say the past, I won't spare you! ”

"Yes, Zhenguo Gong, if you don't give us a reason tonight, I will take the lead in impeaching you tomorrow." Jin Youzi said.

In the past few days, Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi, and Xie Jin have been busy preparing for the third volume of the Yongle Canon, and Jin Youzi is responsible for the affairs of the cabinet.

Cheng Yuan bowed deeply, "If the thunder still regularly attacks the main hall of Dabao'en Temple tonight, it means that someone deliberately sabotaged the construction of Dabao'en Temple." ”

"Who dare!" Zhu Di crossed his hands on his hips, and his tiger eyes gradually narrowed: "Whoever dares to destroy, I will punish his ten clans." ”

Zhu Bai didn't react when he heard this, Cheng Yuan also rolled his eyes, what kind of punishment for the ten clans, you can talk nonsense, and when the time comes, it will be passed on by future generations, adding oil and vinegar to you, and smearing your face.

Regarding Tianlei's attack on Dabao'en Temple again, Zhu Di and Jin Youzi felt that what Cheng Yuan said was too outrageous.

It's not that Zhu Di doesn't believe in Cheng Yuan, but the probability of this kind of thing happening a second time is very small, maybe it's really providence.

Because of the thunder splitting the main hall of Bao'en Temple, Zhu Di always felt that he had killed heavily before, and God intended to make him unfilial.

Sitting in a safe place opposite, Zhu Di looked at the dark main hall in the distance, and said silently in his heart: Mother, mother, does God really not let your son build a place for you to receive incense, is it really as the official said that it is providential?

Little by little, time passed.

Cheng Yuan instructed Shi Kai to erect two bundles of flagpoles on the wreckage of the main hall of Bao'en Temple.

Zhu Gaochi yawned, he didn't want to see Cheng Yuan punished by the old man, he hoped that the thunder and lightning would come once.

Zhu Bai is sitting next to Zhu Di leisurely drinking tea, he has had a good relationship with Zhu Di since he was a child, and Zhu Di also likes his twelfth brother very much.

In the second half of the night, the rain began to fall.

Several officials looked at Jin Youzi, and then looked at Cheng Yuan angrily, thinking that they didn't stop the emperor in the palace.

How warm is the quilt at home, standing here waiting for the spring thunder.

It was raining and the nights were cold.

Cold and sleepy, he said unhappily: "Zhenguo Gong hurts Your Majesty tonight, if it is dawn and what you said does not appear, this official will risk killing your head and impeach you." ”

Zhu Di didn't speak, he was also very sleepy sitting here, so he yawned and said, "Cheng Yuan, there will definitely be no thunder tonight." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, we must have waited all night in vain, Zhenguo Gong, you really committed the crime of deceiving the king this time."

"Lightning strikes are really not an ordinary thing, I was only struck by lightning once, how can it be such a coincidence, Cheng Yuan, I won't mess around with you, I want to ......" Before Zhu Di finished speaking, the sky tore a hole, a bolt of lightning, and came down from the sky.

Divide into five or six strands, and directly split the place where the vermilion flagpole is inserted in Chengyuan.

The crowd was shocked by the thunderbolt.

Zhu Di was surprised: "What's going on." ”

Cheng Yuan arched his hand: "Your Majesty, Dabao'en Temple was struck by lightning, not because of the so-called anger of the Heavenly Father, but because someone did something to deliberately attract thunder and lightning. ”

Waiting for the thunder to pass, Cheng Yuan beckoned and asked Shi Kai to move the burned flagpole over, and the vermilion flagpole was split to reveal a yellow and clear color.

"Your Majesty, the flag planted by the minister in the Dabao'en Temple was made of wood, but the minister found a brass flagpole in the fire, and then found that it was replaced.

The minister deliberately used a wooden flagpole, selected five or six copper and iron poles, and asked the painter to paint vermilion paint and decorate it with the color of the wooden flagpole.

When lightning strikes or fires, the real material will be revealed after being washed by rain, and the evidence of the first lightning strike is the clue found in this situation.

The minister found that the place where the iron and bronze flags were erected in the main hall had been split again, and there was no reaction in the place where the wooden flagpole was erected.

Therefore, the minister used the physical method in Cheng's study to practice, so he invited His Majesty to come here to watch. ”

"Brother Huang, the iron and bronze flagpole was indeed found in the scorched earth, and the Cheng family of the Zhenguo Academy of Zhenguo Public has done a practice, and found someone with ulterior motives to deliberately create a fire."

Zhu Di picked up the flagpole sent by Shi Kai and checked the flagpole, and the official next to him immediately handed over a handkerchief for Zhu Di to wipe his hands.

Cheng Yuan said: "Your Majesty, the thunder and lightning will split those places, although it is really incredible, but it is indeed a place with iron and copper flagpoles, and it was attacked by the thunder." ”

Tianhuo burned the Great Bao'en Temple, Zhu Di was already very taboo, but now that the facts are in front of him, he is relieved and angry at the same time:

"I will never let them go, I must send someone to find out."

"The flag is managed by the craftsman, but that craftsman is missing." Cheng Yuan had already gone to check the craftsman.

"Which craftsman." Zhu Di's eyes were stern: "If you have a thorough investigation, you will never let it go!" Go back to the palace, and ask the Ministry of Industry to bring that craftsman into the palace to see me after dawn! ”

Zheng He should be down.

Zhu Di looked at Cheng Yuan: "You can also go back to the palace with me, and when you go back to the house at dawn, I will send someone to tell An Cheng." ”

When the group returned to the palace, it was already the moment when the sky was white in the east, Zhu Di simply cleaned up, yawned, and went to order someone to arrange the court.
