Chapter 155: Am I a little redundant
Sheng Minglin didn't say anything more, got up and left.
came out, and explained to the worried old servant: "Don't send it, don't disturb him, let him be quiet alone." When he came out, I told him that if he was free, he could come to Duanwangfu to find me at any time. ”
The old servant hurriedly responded.
The group left the palace, and as soon as they got into the carriage, the seventh prince wondered: "So, why did you ask me to come?" Don't you need me to fight, and you don't need me to speak? ”
Sheng Minglin laughed out loud and said half-jokingly: "I'm afraid that he will beat me, so I'm looking for you to strengthen my courage." ”
The Seventh Prince nodded abruptly.
Then he added, "That's it...... What, the old monk said before, in addition to you and me, there is another person who specializes in protecting Zhuzhu, Xingxing or something, is it him? ”
Sheng Minglin said: "I guess it is." ”
The Seventh Prince said: "I thought, if you are Wen, I am a martial ...... Then there's another martial artist who looks quite smart, so what else do you want me to do? Am I a little redundant? ”
Sheng Minglin was amused by him: "Didn't the fourth brother say it, protection is not a fight, even if it is all literature, or it is all martial arts, it is nothing, not necessarily when, it will help Zhuzhu." You don't have to think too much about it. ”
The Seven Princes began to be distracted.
Huo Shenzhao said: "Lord Shizi, I just looked at the old man, he seems to have the disease of forgetting in old age, I also smelled the smell of medicine, he is now using Gui Spleen Soup, I don't think the right symptom, although I don't have a pulse, but I think it will be better to use Yangxin Tang and Ding Epilepsy Pills." ”
Sheng Minglin was stunned: "Then why don't you take the pulse?" ”
He looked at him: "Isn't it easy to pretend to hold hands or something, and take a pulse?" ”
Huo Shenzhao smiled: "I want to follow your thoughts, and I will treat you when you need me to take action." This disease is not urgent, and if you don't take the pulse, you can break it almost, you don't have to worry, it shouldn't be wrong. ”
Let's go!
Sheng Minglin nodded: "I'll go to the fourth brother first, if it's possible, maybe I will enter the palace, and you and the seventh brother will go back to the palace first?" ”
Huo Shenzhao said: "I'll go to the pharmacy to have a look, I think the medicine should be finished." ”
Sheng Minglin asked, "What about the seventh brother?" ”
The Seventh Prince froze: "Then I'll accompany Shen Zhao." ”
So the two got off the carriage at the intersection, and Sheng Minglin went directly to the palace.
He guessed that the fourth prince might not be in the yamen, so he went to the palace gate first to ask, and sure enough, he was in the palace.
He went straight in to find him, and as soon as he arrived at the Hou meeting, he found that the atmosphere was extremely tense, and there were many people, all of whom gathered in a pile and whispered to him, and even the people who were waiting for him looked serious.
Sheng Minglin's feet paused.
When the fourth prince saw him, he came out directly and said, "Let's go, let's go out to eat first." ”
Sheng Minglin was so busy that he didn't pay attention to the time, and after listening to what he said, he subconsciously glanced at the sun, the sky was a little cloudy, and it was difficult to tell the time, but it should be almost dinner time.
The two of them found a nearby place to eat.
The fourth prince whispered to him: "The third brother and Lord Wang were ordered to check the three major halls, but they didn't expect that the roofs of the three major halls were all manipulated, and the father lost his temper and grounded the eldest brother. Later, General Xie went in to make a fuss and lost his temper again......"
He spoke to him in detail.
Fengtian Palace, Huagai Palace, and Jinshen Hall are all on the central axis of the palace, and the location is very important, especially the Fengtian Palace, which is the place where grand ceremonies are held. For example, on Halloween Day, under normal circumstances, the emperor would receive congratulations from civil and military officials in the Fengtian Temple.
Therefore, after the third prince suddenly received this order, he was very nervous, but Wang Shuzhi was very stable, so he proposed to check the roof of the palace first.
First asked the craftsman to go up and check it, but nothing was checked, and then Wang Shuzhi directly asked the Jinyiwei who could go up and down under his hand to go up and take a look, and the Jinyiwei couldn't see anything, but he felt that it was knocking, and it seemed that the sound was wrong, not solid.
The third prince didn't dare to be the master, if it was smashed, it would be fine, it would be unlucky!
However, Wang Shuzhi was instructed by Emperor Mingxi, and he was eighty percent sure in his heart, so he directly asked someone to smash it open and take a look.
As a result, I don't know if I don't smash it, but when I smashed it, I smashed a small hole, and gunpowder flowed down with a bang, and several people changed color on the spot.
Overnight, in the center of the temple, under the spire, there was a lot of fire. medicine, and next to the roof of the temple, there are hidden grooves, which are filled with oil.
Therefore, it only needs to be at the right time, when it rains, ignite the roof of the temple, and the explosion will be thunder, and there will be explosions. The medicine has oil, and no matter how heavy the rain is, it can't be extinguished.
It's no exaggeration, everyone was scared after the check.
After all, time is urgent, they check overnight, and at night they are all lighting candles with lanterns and encountering fires. Medicine and oil, if you are not careful, they become arsonists.
Isn't that scared to death?
But the malice of the perpetrator is also obvious.
Emperor Mingxi's relocation of the capital was originally a very controversial matter, not everyone has such a strategic vision, not to mention civil officials, even military attaches feel that it is unnecessary to work the people and lose money.
As soon as this "heavenly fire" burned, it was definitely a great blow to his prestige.
However, at that time, the people who built the capital, whether they were officials in charge or craftsmen, were all their own people trusted by Emperor Mingxi, and even later, Emperor Mingxi also let the young prince at that time be responsible for supervising this matter out of some selfishness.
In other words, the last three years of the construction of the palace, the most critical three years, were all managed by the eldest prince, which was at least ineffective.
And this kind of thing can't be done by buying one or two craftsmen, it has to be a large number of craftsmen...... Didn't notice anything about it?
Emperor Mingxi was on fire, and the eldest prince was punished for kneeling for more than an hour, and then he was driven home and grounded, and he was not allowed to come out until the matter was clarified.
Sheng Minglin couldn't help but ask: "Let the third brother check the eldest brother?" ”
"It doesn't matter," said the fourth prince, "there is Lord Wang." ”
Sheng Minglin nodded, and without asking any more questions, the fourth prince said again: "How is Shen Lingjue over there?" ”
Sheng Minglin said: "It's almost solved." ”
He told him, and by the way, he also told him what General Xie had discovered.
The fourth prince stopped his chopsticks and thought about it: "No wonder when the general came, my father was very angry...... But it is estimated that there will not be many, and it is fortunate that these two cars of people happened to be met by you. ”
Sheng Minglin nodded.
Indeed, the more people there are, the greater the risk of exposure, and the people behind the scenes must have wanted to make the homeless people flee spontaneously, and then spread the illusion that many people have this kind of illusion, so he also thinks that it may be just these two cars of people.
The fourth prince continued: "There have been accidents one after another, and it is estimated that my father will not make a big deal on Ming'er Longevity Hall. ”
Sheng Minglin said in a low voice: "I look outside the window and it's dark now, and it may really rain heavily tomorrow." ”
While talking, the two quickly finished eating, but as soon as they went back, they were called in, and it was said that Emperor Xi had not eaten yet, and as soon as he entered, he said: "You two brothers are leisurely!" Don't be in a hurry to work, and eat in a hurry! ”
This is not good to hear.
Sheng Minglin hurriedly said: "Uncle Huang, Minglin didn't know the bottom of his heart after finishing his work, and wanted to find a place to talk to the fourth brother, so he dragged the fourth brother out." ”
He paused, and then said quickly: "Hearing that the fourth brother mentioned something in the palace, Minglin was really surprised and lucky, the person behind the scenes had worked hard for several years, but was broken by the imperial uncle in advance, and at this time he didn't know how annoyed and frightened he was. ”
Emperor Mingxi: "Heh! ”
But he was obviously coaxed to be happy, so he raised his hand, and Zheng Zhongshun hurriedly called someone to pass the meal.
The next head Yuguan sent it up, Emperor Mingxi waved his hand and asked everyone to go down, Sheng Minglin saw that even Zheng Zhongshun was gone, so he quickly washed his hands and came over to personally give his emperor Uncle Bu vegetables.
Emperor Mingxi said: "Say it." ”
Sheng Minglin has been talking about them one by one since yesterday, and even Zhuzhu's dream has been said.
Emperor Mingxi listened and ate at the same time, and only after listening to it did he ask, "How old was Shen Ling when he died?" ”
