After the early dynasty, Zheng Ci, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, hurriedly followed behind Zhu Di and said: "Your Majesty, it is the ministers who are stupid, the ministers who are negligent, and who do not strictly inspect the craftsmen."

But the craftsman was not registered, but impostored. ”

"Zheng Shangshu works diligently, working day and night for the affairs of Dabao'en Temple, this time the craftsmen are mixed in, and there must be someone with a heart to arrange it." Cheng Yuan changed his words, "The impostor should be found immediately." ”

Zheng Ci glanced at Cheng Yuan gratefully, thinking that Cheng Yuan could speak ten words to him as long as he said one word in front of Zhu Di.

"Bring the craftsman who was originally in charge of managing the flag." Zhu Di waved his hand.

There was silence in the temple.

The craftsmen of Dabao'en Temple recorded that the person who managed the flag this time was a carpenter, named Yu San, but someone went to change the flag with the identity of Yu San during the thunder that night.

As soon as Zheng He saw Zhu Di, he began to calm down, and sighed: "Your Majesty, I have found Yu San, a craftsman who changed the flag in the main hall of Dabao'en Temple, but the person has ......."

Zhu Di's eyes were cold.

Cheng Yuan frowned, feeling that something was wrong, the other party acted so quickly and strictly.

Zheng He continued: "Yu San, a carpenter's family, a native of Suzhou Prefecture, a carpenter at the construction site of Bao'en Temple, found that he was thrown into a dry well five days ago and died.

There is no trace of the villain who impersonated the carpenter. ”

Cheng Yuan understands that this is a broken clue, if it is Ji Gang and them, it will be difficult to reach the sky without evidence.

Cheng Yuan spoke: "Your Majesty, there is always a reason for doing bad things and harming others, in addition to the reason, you also need a certain ability to do it."

The Ministry of Industry is very strict in inspecting craftsmen, and those who can sneak into the construction site must have been instructed by someone behind them, which took a lot of effort to lead the thunder to attack and burn down the Bao'en Temple, either to obstruct the imperial court from repairing the Great Bao'en Temple.

Either it is to frame the minister, because the minister is the sponsor of the construction of the Bao'en Temple.

Again, it is necessary to replace the wooden flag on the roof with a weight of copper and iron rods, and these five or six copper poles can only be carried by martial arts practitioners at the same time, and ordinary craftsmen cannot lift them.

The flagpole is placed in the wooden flagpole, which is easy to find, so someone has explored the construction site and the shape of the flag in advance of the Dabao'en Temple.

After it rained calmly, he climbed the roof with a copper and iron flagpole, and left quickly after changing. Therefore, this person is not an ordinary craftsman.

It's a martial artist, his status is not low, and he has a smart mind, and he creates a thunderbolt, just to frame the ministers, the key is to burn the Bao'en Temple, and he can't let the court find out, It can be said that the plan is very complete. ”

Zhu Di's face sank like water, and he didn't say anything, he only said that he wanted to rest and let everyone go back to sleep, and he didn't sleep all night last night, so he should go back.

The building of Dabao'en Temple is very large, it is completely built according to the standards of the imperial palace, and this time the main hall was burned, and there was a lot of loss.

At first, the officials used their imagination to think that it was a thunderstorm from heaven, so they kept speculating.

Yang Xianzhi walked around the corridor of the palace with Cheng Yuan, listening to his master talk about Chaohu and the fact that he was going to marry Miss Yang in a few days.

Princess Xianning walked to the direction of the palace road that the minister must pass out of the palace, and heard the palace maid say that the Dabao'en Temple caught fire, and the prince of Zhenguo returned to Beijing overnight, and after not sleeping all night last night, she knew in her heart that she was the official of her father, and that was it, there were always many things.

Princess Xianning stopped at the end of the palace corridor and saw Cheng Yuan coming from a distance, her eyes were blue and her face was pale, but her expression was very calm, it should be that her father did not blame him for anything.

The feeling in her heart that she couldn't put into words.

Cheng Yuan stood still, looking at Princess Xianning not far away.

Yang Xianzhi arched his hand: "I have seen His Royal Highness Xianning." ”

Without waiting for an answer, Yang Xianzhi felt that he didn't wait to be a bamboo pole pestle, and said that he still had something to do, and he wanted to rush back to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites.

Cheng Yuan said: "Your Highness." ”

Xianning said: "You all go down, you are not allowed to follow without a summons from the palace." ”

After the palace maid retreated, Cheng Yuan was still a little happy in her heart, she could come to see her, this action still warmed people's hearts.

There was a rockery pavilion in the first mile of the palace corridor, and the chamberlain and the guards were accustomed to seeing the two of them.

Although it is said that it is best not to meet the concubine before the princess gets married, this is etiquette, but Cheng Yuan often met her in Beiping, and everyone who knew her in the palace was silent.

Cheng Yuan was a little wary of the matter of Da Bao'en Temple, and he was afraid that someone would make a fuss about his private meeting with the princess, so he automatically opened some distance and took a few steps back.

When Xianning saw his move, his heart suddenly became dissatisfied, his beautiful eyes glared, and he also took a few steps back and said with Cheng Yuan: "Don't you want to get rid of the palace, otherwise the palace will call people." ”

Damn, what are you going to do?

Cheng Yuan didn't care so much, looked around, and found that there were no palace people except for rockeries and shrubs, so he got up casually, and said with a fierce face: "Are you trying to destroy my innocence, then come!" ”

Xianning covered his chest with his hands, with a frightened look on his face, and retreated step by step, until his back leaned on the rockery, and there was no way to retreat, he suddenly smiled, and ran into Cheng Yuan's arms with his dress.

Cheng Yuan also picked her up and spun around.

"Dog man, are you playing with this palace in the palace?"

Xian Ning pressed his face against Cheng Yuan's chest, unable to see any expression, and asked sweetly and softly.

Cheng Yuan patted her on the back gently, gently pinched her chin, but didn't answer.

Unable to get an answer, she asked, "Why don't you speak?" ”

Cheng Yuan smiled: "I'm thinking, if I don't go back today, what crime will Your Majesty want to punish me, and the foreign minister will stay in the palace......"

"If the palace didn't give it to you that night, would you still be very enthusiastic in the palace?"

Cheng Yuan thought for a while and replied seriously: "Of course not, Your Highness, don't think about it." ”

"How much does this palace occupy in your heart?" Xianning continued to ask: "The state affairs are the most important, sister, Zhengqing...... Isn't this palace at the end of the line? ”

This kind of question, I originally thought that only girls in the new era could ask it, but I didn't expect it to be heard in the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Highness, you have already lined up for yourself."

"Cheng Yuan~" She was about to fight, Cheng Yuan immediately held her fair-skinned wrist and said: "Being a minister and a country is the first, and you and your sister are tied for second." ”

"Really?"

"Really, if it's a deception, you will make me thunder five times in the sky."

"Then what if the palace doesn't obey you that night, and doesn't give it to you?"

"Your Highness, no matter what, the eldest husband is always for the country and the people, otherwise how can he be worthy of the prince of the town given by your Zhu family."

Cheng Yuan pinched her thin waist and said, "Your Highness is in my heart, more important than myself, even if Your Highness doesn't give it to me that night, I still feel that Your Highness is very important to me." ”

Xianning felt that he was too stupid, since it was the same whether he gave it to him or not, he knew that he would not give it to him that night, and it would be better to leave it until the wedding night.

After staying for a while, Xianning was still worried that someone from the palace would see it, so he waved his hand in a dashing manner, saying that he was going back.

Cheng Yuan looked down at his clothes, there were still a lot of tear stains on them, he touched them and tasted them in his mouth and found that they were a little salty.

As long as she can get along with An Cheng in the future, Cheng Yuan can meet and agree to her any questions she asks. _&
