Jade of Rebirth

After more than an hour, Sun Fan hurried back with a group of people.

When Emperor Zhang Wu saw the box held by the servant behind him, he frowned, sat up slightly, and asked, "What's going on here?"

Sun Fan then respectfully said: "The servants have searched the mansions of His Royal Highness Kang, His Highness Ning, and His Highness Xiang successively, but found nothing, and also checked the residence of the Eighth Prince in the palace, and there is nothing suspicious. Waiting for the servants to go to King Zhao When I was in His Royal Highness's palace, I found this thing on the beam of His Highness King Zhao's palace..." Then, with a flick of the whisk, the servant behind him brought the box up.

When Emperor Zhang Wu heard this, he was already furious, but he could barely hold back, and said in a gloomy tone: "Open it for me to see."

Sun Fan stepped forward and opened the lid of the box, only to see five strings of copper coins in the box.

Emperor Zhang Wu didn't know what this meant, could it be something used to press the beam?But copper coins are not considered heavy, are they?Just as he was about to speak, he heard a servant come and report:

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and several princes have arrived and are waiting outside the palace."

Emperor Zhang Wu raised his head and asked Sun Fan, "Is Lao Jiu here?"

Sun Fan hurriedly said respectfully: "His Royal Highness King Zhao came with his servants, and they have already been waiting outside the hall."

"Okay, pass it on." Emperor Zhang Wu said, got up and went to the main hall with a sullen face, and the servants behind hurriedly followed.

"Legend, the princes enter the palace..."

Soon, all the princes came in one after another, among which Yuan Heng was especially special, because he brought his concubine Yuli with him. Fortunately, Yuli is a man, so there is no taboo.

"Long live my father!" Everyone hurriedly saluted after entering the hall.

Emperor Zhang Wu glanced at the many sons below, and said in a calm tone, "Free from courtesy."

Everyone got up together, and then Ning Wang Yuanying took a step forward and said: "Father, just now the grandson's servant came to search the son's mansion, but he came and left in a hurry. He only said that he was ordered by the father, but he didn't say why. I also heard that something was found in the Ninth Brother's mansion, and that the Ninth Brother was brought into the palace... I wonder if there is any misunderstanding?"

The prince on the side also took a step forward and said: "Report to my father, just now I heard from my mother that my father suspected that someone used the technique of disgusting victory to curse my father, so that my father suffered from heart palpitations. Did you find anything in the Ninth Brother's mansion?"

When the others heard the technique of disgusting victory, they were all terrified... You know, since ancient times, emperors have hated the technique of disgusting victory, and in history, the scourge of witchcraft has been a major case involving a lot of people. If you are not careful, you will be implicated and your head will fall to the ground, so few people dare to touch this thing. Now that the prince is talking about the technique of disgusting victory, is he suspecting that some prince cursed the emperor with witchcraft?

Ning Wang Yuanying felt like a thunderbolt when he heard the prince's words, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and then he couldn't help but look at Yuanheng Yuli and his wife who were standing aside, but their faces were calm, they didn't seem to be guilty of guilt The look, but the cold eyes, clearly knew that this was a conspiracy against them.

Zhang Wudi, who was at the top, did not directly answer the prince's question, but turned to look at Yuan Heng, his face condensed, his narrow and long red phoenix eyes slightly closed, very gloomy and frightening: "Lao Jiu, come on, what is the explanation for this thing? "

Yuan Heng took a step forward, glanced at the five strings of copper coins in the box, bowed his hands, and said: "Father, this is indeed a technique to hate victory..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd became commotion, thinking that he had already admitted it, but unexpectedly he said:

"However, this is the 'five emperors' money', which was pressed by the carpenter on the beam to block evil spirits." He said, calmly raised his head and looked at Emperor Zhang Wu, "the carpenter put it on after asking me about it. , I knew it beforehand, if you don’t believe me, you can pass on the public transportation instrument hired by the Ministry of Industry, and you can find out what it does after all.”

The Ministry of Industry is responsible for the construction of pavilions and pavilions in the palace. The carpenters and bricklayers employed are naturally selected by the Ministry of Industry and recorded by the Ministry of Industry. Man, he is in charge of all the buildings in the palace, what are the five strings of money in the box used for, just send him a question and you will know.

Emperor Zhang Wu said to Sun Fan: "Go, Chuan Gong Shuyi will come."

"Yes."

After a while, Gongshuyi arrived.Gong Shuyi is about 40 years old, with a simple appearance, but his demeanor is really refined, and he really has the demeanor of a tall man.After he saluted Emperor Zhang Wu, Emperor Zhang Wu asked him:

"Gong Shuyi, let me ask you, will putting heavy objects on the beams be harmful to the master's father?"

Gong Shuyi heard the words, thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's true."

Emperor Zhang Wu's face darkened suddenly, and he said again: "Come and see, what is this thing on the beam?"

Gong Shuyi stepped forward and took a look into the box held by the servant, and then said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is the 'five emperors' money', which is used to block evil spirits. I heard from the carpenter at the bottom that His Royal Highness Zhaowang He felt that he was almost killed by traitors many times, and he committed evil spirits, so he asked about the method of blocking evil spirits, and the carpenter provided His Highness with the method of pressing the beam with five emperors' money. This method is also widely spread among the people, and it is not a secret. "

Hearing this, the emperor's face changed from cloudy to sunny, but it looked much better.

It's just that the prince on the side lowered his head slightly, with an ugly expression... Lin Jing said that a weight was pressed on the beam of King Zhao's mansion, why now it has become five emperors' money?Could it be that Yuan Heng discovered it?He even bribed a servant who once served Yuan Heng in the Taixi Palace, as long as the weight already existed in the main hall of the Taixi Palace, then Yuan Heng would definitely not be able to escape the crime of cursing his father with witchcraft , but now that the situation is like this, that little servant is useless...

He was thinking about which link went wrong, but he heard Yu Li suddenly stand up and say:

"Father, the Prince Zhao's Mansion has only just been completed, and the father's heart palpitations started ten years ago. This doesn't make sense at all. If the father suspects the Taixi Palace, he can send people to search... His Royal Highness King Zhao asked people to use the five emperors' money to block the evil just because he suffered too many unreasonable disasters, but now, the five emperors' money is being used to make a fuss, and the minister thinks that this is not an evil, but a villain, right?"

When Emperor Zhang Wu heard it, he immediately thought of what the Empress said just now. She insisted on searching, did she... but he knew that the Empress had always been dull, and she might have been provoked by some villain. Big, he just took it for the queen.He said: "Forget it, I was confused because of excessive heart palpitations and wronged you two..."

At this time, King Ning took a step forward and said, "Father is having heart palpitations. How dare the sons and ministers blame the father? I believe that the ninth brother and his wife are also the same. I am just afraid that someone with a heart will play tricks and provoke the relationship between the father and the sons. !"

Emperor Zhang Wu was about to speak, when he saw Yuan Heng stepped forward, his face seemed aggrieved and angry but could not hold back, and he said loudly: "Father, my son has something to say."

"Say."

"I heard that I have searched the mansions of my brothers and several elder brothers, but I have not searched the Prince's East Palace!" Floating in the empty hall, "I think it's unfair!"

"Exactly." Yu Li also looked at the prince, and said slowly, "Since the father suspects that someone is cursing the father with the technique of disgusting victory, then we should investigate carefully, and everyone must not let it go, including the prince. Your Highness!"

As soon as this remark came out, Yuan Chen's heart immediately sank, and a bad premonition gradually spread.
