Chapter 74: Coral

Li Shengxing smiled slightly, she held her chin, thought of something, and continued: "You bring the set of red coral head noodles that Zhao Changtong sent just now and let me take a look." ”

Liujin nodded, and soon presented the set of red coral head noodles, Li Shengxing looked at this set of head noodles, and picked up a hairpin to play with it carefully.

Liujin is puzzled, Li Shengxian has been noble since he was a child, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was born with a golden spoon, he is used to seeing gold and silver jewelry, and he has never cared much about jewelry, why is he playing with these jewelry in every way today?

Although this batch of jewelry is exquisite, it is not much golden, after all, coral is not uncommon in the Southern Jin Dynasty.

"This thing looks familiar, come and see." After Li Shengxian finished speaking, he handed over the hairpin.

Liujin became more and more puzzled, and after taking a look, he couldn't help but say: "Sanniang said this, it is indeed a little familiar, this looks a little like the style in the palace." ”

The palace she said was naturally not the Northern Qi Palace.

"This red coral is not very expensive in the Southern Jin Dynasty, but the workmanship of this object is very exquisite, and the style is also cumbersome and good-looking, maybe it really came out of the palace." Li Shengxian twisted her eyebrows, she counted the number of pieces of jewelry again, and picked up a pair of earrings and came out.

Before Li Shengxing could speak, Liujin said in surprise: "Why are these earrings not red coral, but ruby." This...... This pair of earrings is not this set. ”

Li Shengxing nodded, as if he remembered something, and said in a low voice: "If I remember correctly, Princess Qu of Chu, her favorite is coral jewelry, right?" ”

The "Princess of Chu" in her mouth is her eldest brother's concubine.

Li Shenyuan, the king of Chu, is the eldest brother of Emperor Hongxing and Li Shengxi, because the king of Chu is nine years older than Emperor Hongxing, the eldest son of all the princes, and is quite prestigious among the people and the clan, and is one of the ministers of several assistants when Emperor Hongxing first ascended the throne.

It's a pity that the ambition of the king of Chu was exposed early, and he united the three princes who supported him to join forces to make a rebellion, intending to steal the throne, but he was soon detected by Emperor Hongxing, and was killed by Emperor Hongxing in the fourth year of Hongxing. People called this event the "Rebellion of the Four Kings".

At that time, Li Shengxi was only seven years old, and Emperor Hongxing was only twenty-one years old.

After the King of Chu was ambushed, Emperor Hongxing did not think of killing them all, but imprisoned Qu and Li Rui, the son of the King of Chu. I didn't think that Princess Chu was very ...... ...... was "affectionate", and burned himself and her husband's only child to death with a fire, martyring the king of Chu.

The King of Chu and the princess have a deep affection, which is well known. Because the princess of Chu likes red coral the most, when the king of Chu was the most proud, he almost searched for the coral of the Southern Jin Dynasty and searched it at home, just for Bojia to smile.

In the palace of the king of Chu in the past, there is also an artificial coral forest, if it is in the winter snow, looking at it from a distance, it is like a red plum, very beautiful. Later, the palace of the king of Chu raided the house, and those good-looking coral trees entered Li Sheng's treasury.

"The third lady thinks it's ......"

"I remember that Princess Chu once had fun with me, and she gave me a pair of coral earrings, as if they were the pair that was missing here." It's a pity that she didn't bring the pair of earrings to Northern Qi.

"When you were in the Southern Jin Dynasty, your jewelry was cleaned up by Nian Xi, and she should know it." Rujin proposed.

Li Shengxi put down the jewelry, "Let Liujin take a look at it for a while, if so, I will ask someone to check how Zhao Changtong got this set of heads." ”

"The third lady is suspicious ......"

"In the past, the rebellion of the four kings ended, and the palace of my four royal brothers was copied by my brother's house, and all the items were registered in the warehouse, but only the coral jewelry of the Chu Wangfu was so numerous that there was no way to be completely registered, if this can still flow out, it is very thought-provoking." Li Shengsheng raised his eyebrows.

If this jewelry is scattered abroad, it will be very intriguing.

After all, jewelry can be left outside, but can people?

At the beginning, Emperor Hongxing didn't think about killing them all, so why did they choose to fake their deaths? Is it possible that it is just to live outside? Li Shengxi couldn't believe this reason.

News soon came from Nian Xi's side, and this set of coral jewelry was indeed Princess Chu's old belongings.

"Not only that, but my subordinates felt strange when they touched this set of jewelry, so they asked several people to take a look, and this thing seemed to be someone else's burial goods." Nian Xi took the jewelry, and at this time, the jewelry in front of Li Shengxun was already a new look, although the style has not changed much, but it looks a lot newer, "This is after the subordinates asked someone to deal with it." It is very likely that this set of coral jewelry has been buried in the ground for many years, and there was originally a vague smell of corpse decay on it, but they covered it up with incense, and the subordinates felt strange when they smelled it, so they asked a few people to take a look. ”

Liujin's face changed, "What a Zhao Changtong, such a dirty thing dares to send it to you." ”

Li Shengxian didn't care much, "Funeral goods? That's interesting. Zhao Changtong naturally would not cross the line to the Southern Jin Dynasty to dig other people's graves, it is estimated that the merchant who sold things had unclean hands and feet, and even collected the things of the dead. ”

"This set of jewelry is estimated to be unearthed not long ago, and it should be during this time." Nian Xi continued, if she didn't have to pull away now, she really wanted to go back to the Southern Jin Dynasty and find out the tomb robber and digger.

If you do such a lack of morality, you are not afraid of being thundered by the sky.

"It seems that the coast of the Li River has not been very peaceful recently." Li Shengxian said in a low voice.

"That's true, especially in May and June every year, when the number of people crossing the river suddenly increases. When the two parties meet, it is naturally mixed. ”

Because there will be a big flood in July and August, the disaster relief procedures on the Southern Jin Dynasty are extremely perfect, and there is even a surplus of silver and materials for disaster relief every year. A few years ago, Emperor Yuanjia ordered that as long as the name was registered, no matter which country the disaster victims were, they could receive material assistance from the Southern Jin Dynasty.

So in recent years, more and more Northern Qi people have moved to the Southern Jin Dynasty, especially during floods. If nothing else, at least in the Southern Jin Dynasty, can survive.

Don't say that the Southern Jin Dynasty is an enemy country, you must know that the two countries are originally from one source, a few years ago they were one country, and the people on both sides of the Li River even went up for two generations to be one family, so clear what to do?

The Southern Jin Dynasty treated them well, and the Northern Qi kept saying that they were the people of the Northern Qi Dynasty, but every disaster year, where did the imperial court's rescue silver and disaster relief food go, and they ran to the Southern Jin Dynasty, which was understandable.

Li Shengxun put down the jewelry, "Find the merchant and find out where the jewelry came from." Also, Li Jiang has not been peaceful recently, so Huan Zhi and Jin Yu have a good eye on it, if anyone dares to do evil, do not behave recklessly, don't be polite, let alone who he is, what to do, what to do! ”
