The next day, the morning court was on the way.

The Eight Kings Zhao Yuanyan stood up and said, "Brother, I have something to report!"

Zhao Heng and everyone were stunned.

Zhao Yuanyan never cared about the government affairs, just a idle prince, and rarely spoke in the morning court.

What's going on today?

Zhao Yuanyan said: "Brother, I have recently heard rumors in Bianjing City. People are talking about the practice of Taoism in the official family, accusing the emperor of being obsessed with practicing Taoism in recent years and ignoring the government's affairs, which has caused treacherous villains to disrupt the court. Some people even said that God will give a warning recently..."

Wow!

The civil and military officials in the court were immediately in an uproar.

Ding Wei suddenly stood up and scolded: "As the prince, King Jing is even more righteous in the royal family. How can he listen to such nonsense at will... The official family must have been fabricated and distributed by people with ulterior motives, and it must be thoroughly investigated!"

Without waiting for the others to speak, Zhao Heng waved his hand: "Eighth Prince, what Ding Qing's family said is reasonable. Don't listen to these rumors in the future... The Kaifeng Prefecture Prime Minister thoroughly investigates this matter!"

Zhou Huaizheng stood up and whispered: "Retreat the court!"

All the officials left Yanqing Hall one after another.

When he got outside, the Zuo Jianyi doctor Wang Zeng stepped forward and said curiously: "I have never heard of the rumors that the prince just said recently. I don't know where the prince learned the news?"

Zhao Yuanyan glanced around and whispered: "I have never heard of it, but His Highness the Crown Prince suddenly found me yesterday..."

Wang Zeng was shocked when he heard this: "What is the purpose of Your Highness doing this?"

Zhao Yuanyan said depressedly: "I am also puzzled!"

Wang Zeng: “…”

...

Kou Mansion.

Kou Zhun stared at Wang Zeng with a surprised look on his face: "So, is His Highness instructing King Jing to do this?"

Wang Zeng nodded: "King Jing is generous and should not lie."

Kou Zhun was stunned again.

What the hell does the prince want to do?

Wang Shu couldn't help but say, "Father-in-law, Doctor Wang, in my opinion, this matter is not complicated. It's just that the prince wants to use the mouth of King Jing to persuade the officials not to be obsessed with practicing Taoism anymore... Unfortunately, he was young and thought that he could persuade the officials to do so, but he was too young!"

After hearing this, Kou Zhun and Wang Zeng had to nod.

Wang Zeng said disappointedly: "I thought Your Highness had grown up and was able to bear great responsibility. Now it seems, alas..."

...

Streets of Bianjing City.

In a blacksmith shop.

The sound of ding dangling is endless.

Then, a shirtless middle-aged man walked up to Zhao Zhen and handed over a box, "Customer, this copper wire is ready."

Zhao Zhen took it and opened it. The box was covered with a ball of thin copper wire, with excellent texture and uniform thickness, proving that the craftsman was skilled.

He glanced at the man in surprise and asked, "What's your name?"

The man replied, "The villain is called Bi Sheng!"

Bi Sheng?

Zhao Zhen suddenly widened his eyes and asked, "Are you born in the Kaibao period? Is it from Qishui County, Qizhou, Huainan Road?"

The man suddenly stared at Zhao Zhen with caution, and after seeing that there was no danger around him, he nodded.

Zhao Zhen asked again: "Have you ever been engaged in engraving and printing?"

Bi Sheng replied: "The villain learned to engrave and print while on Huainan Road. After he arrived in Bianjing, he changed his career and became a blacksmith."

Zhao Zhen confirmed that the man in front of him was Bi Sheng, the inventor of movable type printing.

According to the normal historical trajectory, Bi Sheng did not invent the movable type printing technique in a bookstore in Hangzhou twenty years later. Now he is just a blacksmith who barely makes a living in Bianjing City!

This is a talent!

What this prince lacks the most now is talent!

He stood up and asked, "Bi Sheng, are you willing to follow this prince?"

Bi Sheng looked at Zhao Zhen and thought to himself that where this strange person jumped out, could he be a bad person?

Then he shook his head quickly.

Zhao Zhen was stunned.

Could it be that this prince’s domineering aura is not strong enough?

He turned around and said, "Parent Chen, tie him back first, and make arrangements after I finish Kou Zhun's affairs."

A few men rushed up, tied up Bi Sheng and forced him into the carriage.

...

One minute at noon.

Chen Lin accompanied Zhao Zhen to the Yuqing Palace next to the imperial city.

After entering Yuqing Palace, Chen Lin introduced, "Your Highness, during the morning court today, King Jing suddenly stood up and said that recently there was a message in Bianjing City accusing the official of practicing Taoism and ruining the country. This incident has caused an uproar!"

Zhao Zhen thought to himself that Zhao Yuanyan was indeed a timid and afraid, and he actually pushed this matter to rumors!

But do you think you can take yourself out?

Still too naive!

In addition to the main hall, Yuqing Palace also has a Star Picking Tower, with a total of five floors.

Standing on the Zhaixing Tower, you can overlook most of the Bianjing City.

At this moment, Chen Lin hugged Zhuzi tremblingly and looked at Zhao Zhen pitifully: "Your Highness, you don't know how to do it, why don't you change the guard."

The task Zhao Zhen gave him was also simple, which was to let him climb along the pillar to the beam and erect a long bamboo pole with copper wire tied to the top of the Zhaixing Tower. If he was not careful, he might fall directly from the fifth floor.

Zhao Zhen said angrily: "Dog, do you dare to disobey my orders? I will kick you down now!"

"ah……"

Chen Lin twitched her nose and began to climb the pillar carefully.

Half an hour later, Chen Lin finally tied the bamboo pole and slid down smoothly.

Zhao Zhen clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Let's go back to the East Palace."

Chen Lin asked, "Your Highness, won't you go back to Pingshan?"

Zhao Zhen said lightly: "If nothing unexpected happens, Kou Zhun will be able to return to the court to serve as prime minister in the past two days. If this big thing happens, I will not stay there, I am afraid something will go wrong!"

Then, he looked up at the sky.

The sky was originally clear, but suddenly the wind blew, and clouds gathered together.

Zhao Zhen suddenly smiled and said, "Maybe, there will be a result tomorrow."

...

Afternoon.

The wind is getting heavier and heavier.

Dark clouds.

Click.

A thunder broke the tranquility of Bianjing City.

A series of water-snake-like lightning flashed out from the clouds.

Suddenly, a lightning strikes the top of the Zhaixing Tower of Yuqing Palace.

Then, thick smoke rolled in Zhaixing Tower.

"It's on fire..."

"Zhaixing Tower is on fire!"

"The Yuqing Palace is getting burned!"

...

at the same time.

Yanqing Hall.

Zhao Heng leaned against the dragon bed and coughed violently.

Liu E fed him some snacks, but he slapped him rudely.

Liu E put down the pastry and asked, "The officials are still thinking about what King Jing said? Mr. Ding said that those words were spread rumors by people with ulterior motives, so why should the officials take them to heart?"

Zhao Heng shook his head: "Empress, since Zhen'er exposed the trick of Longhu Zhen'er in Yuqing Palace, I have had grudges about practicing Taoism in my heart... Now, there are suddenly rumors among the people that scold me for practicing Taoism, and that God will give punishment as a warning. I feel more and more uneasy..."

Liu E sneered: "Why do you have to worry about the officials? Take your respect. The so-called punishment from God is a warning. It is completely nonsense and is false and unreliable."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Huaizheng hurried in and said in horror: "Official family, empress, it's not good. Yuqing Palace is thundered and caught fire..."

Swish!

Zhao Heng sat upright suddenly, his face full of incredible feelings: "What... this, this, is this a punishment from God?"

"puff……"

He opened his mouth and sprayed blood!
