Dew timid

Chapter 66 Fake jade

Lu Yu's forehead was tightly pressed against the smooth floor tiles, and his back covered by brocade clothes was already wet.

His five fingers were digging at the ground, his heart beating faster.

His face was flushed red, and the cool feeling from the floor tiles made him suddenly wake up for a long time, and it was only after a long time that he found his own voice in the void.

"Father, the distance was too far just now, can you let the child come into the distance and have a look?"

Every piece of jade plaque here looks the same, if he bites himself to death, he will be blind and Emperor Chengde can't stand him.

What's more, he is the most honorable prince in the entire Great Chu, and Emperor Chengde will not give up on him!

After all, the one who begged was the prince whom he had placed high hopes on, he snorted coldly.

He suppressed the disappointment in his eyes and said, "Come up and see for yourself!"

After Emperor Chengde finished speaking, Eunuch Gao's fine voice came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Jiang and Governor Jiang are here, do you want to see me?"

What does he come to do?

Jiang Xiang's sudden arrival caused a flash of panic in Lu Yu's eyes. He kept his posture on the ground, thinking about the sudden episode.

Jiang Xiang received a letter from a little beggar on the way back to the mansion. It was an unsealed letter with ink stains on it, and it was the contents of the letter that shocked Jiang Xiang the most.

"The prince is in trouble, hurry to enter the palace"

He is particularly familiar with this handwriting, and it is precisely because of this that the news of these eight characters makes Jiang Xiang feel like he is in a cold hell in the clear sky at this moment.

He hurried back to the mansion, changed into his official uniform, and entered the palace without stopping.

Behind the prince is the Jiang family. If the prince loses power, he will be followed by a series of officials.

Emperor Chengde attached great importance to Wangdu, so every move they made was carefully considered. If they made a mistake at the last moment, it would be more harm than good!

This palace, he is in meditation today!

Unlike Jiang Xiang's request for a meeting, Jiang Zhuliu was called by Emperor Chengde.

He also participated in the search of the underground palace. Apart from King Su, he is the one who knows the most clearly about all the reasons.

Emperor Chengde let the two of them in, and he asked Jiang Xiang with concern, "Is Jiang Qing here to see me for something?"

Jiang Xiang made a big salute and said, "It's about the Shuhe matter. The old minister is here today to send a message to His Majesty."

The water transport of the Shu River caused disturbances, and Emperor Chengde handed over this matter to Jiang Xiang. This matter is not big or small, but if it is stuck today, it seems a bit of a big deal.

Emperor Chengde frowned and waved his hands, his hidden expression was already a little displeased, he asked Jiang and Jiang Zhuliu to go aside first, and wait for him to finish the family affairs before coming to judge.

The prince went up.

Three pieces of jade are placed in two brocade boxes on the table in sequence.

There was a deep crack on one of them, the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, thinking of the jade in Xiao Qi's hand that he saw on the well in the backyard of the Zhang Mansion that day, it seemed that there was such a deep scratch.

Covering up the wild beating of his heart, his gaze moved away from it and fell to the second jade tablet after a pause.

This piece of jade was the jade in the brocade box he had handed in earlier, at this moment his brows and eyes were condensed in vain, and it landed on a very shallow word "炩" on the jade card.

The surface of the jade is smooth, and the luster on it is also exceptionally smooth, but one of the corners is broken, and the flowing texture instantly becomes a little tortuous.

Lu Yu didn't pay attention to it before, and only now did he see the character "炩" engraved on it.

He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, as if he didn't expect Lu Yong to keep this hand.

Lu Yong's jade tablet has a mark, so he must have known it himself, and Emperor Chengde obviously saw the clue, so he used this jade to ask him, and the latter replied calmly and calmly as he wished.

On the way, Emperor Chengde exchanged a jade card for questioning. If it wasn't the one engraved with the word "炩" that he handed in, it would be the one that was exchanged in Lu Qi's hand, and he just admitted it twice with confidence.

He bit the tip of his tongue, and pointed to the third jade card, the jade card he had just admitted himself, the jade card obtained by fraud.

Jiang Xiang didn't know what happened just now, his eyebrows twitched when he saw it, and he was very puzzled. At this moment, His Majesty obviously trusted him. As long as the jade tablet brought out of the underground palace is excluded, the remaining one will tell it Just for their own sake, so many of them have completed this task day and night, isn't it just for the last trick, to steal the beam and change the post!

But now Liangzhu is in front of him, what is the prince doing!

He actually chose that defective product!

Emperor Chengde saw that he had made a choice, which was no different from the previous acknowledgment. Now that they each recognized their respective jade cards, Emperor Chengde asked a different question, only to hear him say in a deep voice: "Why did you submit the jade plaque?" The brocade box contains the jade token of King Qi? And your jade token is in the brocade box of King Qi?"

From the moment Lu Yu opened the brocade box, when the small character "炩" was faintly visible, he knew that it was probably written by the son in front of him again.

After going around for a while, the bamboo basket was empty in the end, Lu Yu was a little depressed, he explained cautiously: "Perhaps some accidents happened on the road ahead, which caused, led to the wrong brocade box in the end. "

What he said was endless.

Emperor Chengde was impatient, he nodded to the palace man behind him and said: "I want you to tell."

The palace man was called out suddenly, walked out tremblingly, changed eyes with Prince Ming, and then Wen Tun began to explain.

"Your Majesty, just now a horse was frightened at the market, and at the same time disturbed the carriage of His Highness the Crown Prince and King Xin, presumably... it was because the servant bumped into something while taking something out of the carriage, that's why he took the wrong brocade box. "

He spoke nervously, and swallowed again: "The two jade plaques are also the same in length, and the people below can't tell them apart. It's...it's normal."

There are many eyes and ears for what happens in the market, and it is undeniable to think about it.

Everyone understood what he said.

The jade cards handed in were just disrupted by an episode in the middle, and now each of them recognized their own jade cards, and Lu Guan's one was handed over to His Majesty earlier.

In this way, whose jade tablet was found in the underground palace?

Jiang Xiang was a little reconciled, how could they finally get a false return after they worked so hard to plan.

If His Majesty is determined not to let this jade token go, the fake will be spotted sooner or later!

He boldly stepped forward, "Your Majesty, the old minister has a message."

Emperor Chengde looked at the two jade plaques presented by Lu Yong and Lu Yu, and saw that he opened his mouth and nodded in agreement.

Jiang Xiang said with certainty: "The old minister dares to ask King Su, how can the imperial gifts be engraved?"

Lu Yong raised his head and glanced at Jiang Xiang, his eyebrows were slightly restrained, "I asked Master Kuzhi to engrave this word, and I asked His Majesty for instructions beforehand."

Master Kuzhi is the monk who paid tribute to the beautiful jade. Jiang Xiang also went to the temple to ask about it before, and this jade is unique.

And Fu Chengci, who sat silently for a long time, suddenly said lightly: "Since this jade was once in the hands of Master Kuzhi, why not ask him to identify it, maybe the jade tablet that was found from the underground palace is fake. , after all, the little palace man also said that the carvings of this jade are exactly the same. In case there are people with ulterior motives doing some tricks."

When these words came out, Emperor Chengde was not only satisfied, but also fell into Lu Qi's arms.

He plotted a big picture, but he didn't expect that Lu Yu would come out and act like a demon halfway through. He was worrying about how to lead this trouble over, so Fu Chengci came out.

Regardless of the reason, it's just a coincidence.

But Lu Yu and Jiang Xiang, who heard the words, suddenly felt that something was wrong.

I can't talk about the loss of the jade badge now, otherwise I wouldn't have worked so hard to imitate a fake one.

I thought that I could have a sneaky exchange with Lu Qi, but I didn't expect him to save a hand.

Now if Master Kuzhi is invited here, it is hard to say whether this fake thing can be preserved.

But now that Emperor Chengde is ready, he is waiting for the messengers to invite Master Kuzhi.

Master Kuzhi was invited. His face was full of sorrow, which really fit the bitterness in his title. His eyes with drooping eyelids were exceptionally clear and quiet, as if they could accommodate everything. Peace of mind at a glance.

Beside him was a little monk, who was his disciple.

Emperor Chengde had always believed in Buddhism, and treated Buddhism with great respect.

Master Kuzhi clasped his hands together and saluted, "I have seen Your Majesty."

That beautiful jade was presented by Ku Zhi, and now he is the only one who can recognize this jade.

Emperor Chengde said indifferently: "The purpose of inviting Master to come today is just to let Master distinguish. These three jade plaques were all presented by Master at the beginning."

Ku Zhi nodded, he was not good at talking, and walked up after listening.

Beautiful jade was found in the mountains, the texture is crystal clear, and it is rumored that it is a sacred object of the temple where the Buddha was born. Although the shape of the beautiful jade has changed after being cut, the texture is not.

After reading it, Master Kuzhi's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Return to Your Majesty, these three jade pieces are indistinguishable."

Emperor Chengde said with great interest: "Oh? That means these three jade plaques are together?"

Master Kuzhi lowered his eyes, clasped his hands together, and said in a low voice, "I don't know jade, so I think we are together."

Saying it means not saying it.

Emperor Chengde asked the little novice to come and see, "You follow your master's knees, can you understand this jade?"

The little novice nodded.

"Then come and see."

The little novice pointed to one of them and said, "This one is fake."

After the words fell, everyone's eyes fell on the jade tablet, and even Emperor Chengde narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the prince sharply.

Ku Zhi closed his eyes, sighed softly and stopped talking.Silently chanting, Amitabha.

Lu Yu also regained his composure, he felt guilty, and even dared not say a word when he saw Emperor Chengde's eyes, he stood stiffly in place, at a loss for what to do.

Jiang Xiang looked straight at the little novice and said, "Little master, you have to see clearly whether the jades are the same!"

The little monk Jishou said, "The monks don't tell lies, Jie Xin saw it clearly. The jade was wiped and maintained by Jie Xin at the beginning, and Jie Xin can recognize jade."

A sentence that monks don't lie completely choked Jiang Xiang's remaining words in his throat.

He looked at it in a dilemma, and shut up angrily.

Emperor Chengde shot up at the case, "Prince! I want you to explain carefully, what's going on!"

Of course, Emperor Chengde hated Lu Yu, a deceiver.

He quickly knelt down, biting his teeth with the tip of his tongue, nervously, "Father, my son and Zhang Zhengqing have never had anything to do with each other, please give me a lesson!"

Now I don't care if Emperor Chengde is involved, but the crown prince's fraud is confirmed. I'm afraid it's hard to say whether the farce in Lenovo Market was written by the crown prince.

There are still outsiders present in Changxing Palace, but the Tian family's face cannot be lost.

"Come here, first punish the crown prince to confinement in the East Palace, this matter is under discussion!"

Lu Yong's jade card was engraved by Master Ku Zhi himself, but the one found in the underground palace was the same as his jade card, so the only remaining one was the prince's jade card, which was fake.

As for why you fake it to find a jade plaque, it depends on what people think.
