Chapter 246 Dragon of Yujing
Qin Mubai and Li Ke searched in the "palace" for a long time and found no other suspicious signs. Except for those stone puppet statues, there are only some ordinary buildings and ornaments left in the whole hall.
Li Ke took the jade seal and looked at it carefully and shook his head: "Now there is nothing to prove the authenticity of this jade seal."
Qin Mubai didn't say anything, but he heard some extrastring sounds in Li Ke's words: He wanted to hide this jade seal!
"Why don't you talk?" Li Ke looked at Qin Mubai, and his eyes became a little strange.
It's really weird, as if there is some vigilance and some guilty. He seemed to be worried that Qin Mubai peeped at his mind and tried his best to cover it up, but he was worried that he couldn't hide it. He seemed to be hesitant, hesitant, and a little careless.
Qin Mubai pouted outside the temple door: "Let them go far away."
Li Ke was satisfactory. He personally stepped forward and shouted back the entourage, and said, "This matter is very important. I want to hear your opinion. Don't beat around the bush. What I want to hear is the most real idea.
"My idea is that whether this jade seal is true or false, you must give it to His Majesty the Emperor." Qin Mubai said firmly.
Li Ke raised his eyebrows inadvertently and said quietly, "Why?"
"A man is innocent, and he is guilty of his sins." Qin Mubai only said these eight words.
After listening to this, Li Ke was silent for a long time and nodded reluctantly: "I see. However, if this is a fake jade seal and my father is teased by me, will he blame me in turn? Or, after the Tang Dynasty settled the Turks in the north, he welcomed back Empress Xiao, and also took back the jade seal, so his father was very happy. If this jade seal is real... What is the explanation for what Empress Xiao brought back from Mobei? Then didn't she bully you? Didn't I hurt her again? You know, she is my grandmother."
Qin Mubai nodded and said, "You have a reason to worry, but these are not major problems. If we can figure out the reason for this place, we can figure out the twists and turns of this jade seal. At that time, there will be a way to explain it to His Majesty, and naturally it will not involve Queen Xiao. Your Highness, no matter what, this jade seal doesn't belong to you. Don't think about it.
Li Ke squeezed his lips, gritted his teeth, frowned, and nodded.
"I'll listen to you."
Qin Mubai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Looking at Li Ke's expression, it is absolutely a lie to say that he doesn't want to take it for himself in private. Moreover, from the moment he stepped into the hall, Li Ke seemed to have forgotten that he was the prince of the Tang Dynasty and the son of Li Shimin. He probably smelled the breath of the former Sui Yang Guang. The emperor of Sui, who once reigned the world, seemed that there was still a trace of soul that had not been attached to Li Ke, making him a little trance. .
It is also possible that he is even fantasizing that if this jade seal is real... Does that mean that he, Li Ke, is the true son of heaven who is "as ordered by heaven"? Moreover, this place is so much like Yang Guang's mausoleum. It is easy for him to have a fantasy - this jade seal was deliberately left to him by Yang Guang!
This is undoubtedly a rather dangerous signal!
Qin Mubai has always known that Li Ke is by no means a thing in the pool. If he has no ambition and no retribution, it is definitely self-deception. However, this ambition and this negative report must not come from the afterglow of the former Sui, and not from the temptation of Yuxi!
There is no impenetrable wall in the world. If Li Ke swallows this jade seal - and whether this jade seal is true or not, he will definitely die, and there is no suspense!
Originally, Li Ke was criticized by a group of old ministers led by the eldest grandson Wuji because he was born to the former princess of Sui, saying that he was carrying the "blood of the former Sui Dynasty", which was a big bad luck and a great disadvantage. In fact, this argument of Changsun Wuji is quite ridiculous, and few people will really believe it. Because blood comes from the father, which has been customized from ancient times to the present. Changsun Wuji's argument is clear that he is forced to refer to the deer as a horse. His purpose is nothing more than to artificially put a "fake label" on Li Ke, and fundamentally deprive him of his capital to seize the throne, so as to reduce the pressure of the enemy for his own nephew.
However, if Li Ke gets a "suspected jade seal" in a "suspected former Sui palace" and hides it, it is really self-excavate, and it is difficult to die. Changsun Wuji's remarks will be based on facts - although the remnants of the former Sui's death are still clear, Li Ke has different intentions and holds the jade seal left by his grandfather, with the intention is wrong!
At that time, no one can really save him. Even if Li Shimin has always valued and likes this "Yingguo-like me" son, he will kill him quickly!
......
Li Ke took the jade seal and looked at it while meditating. Suddenly, he couldn't help shivering and said with a trace of panic, "Mu Bai, maybe we shouldn't blow up here!"
"Are you afraid?" Qin Mubai said lightly.
Li Ke nodded reluctantly and said, "Whether I offer this jade seal or not, it's not good. If the jade seal is true, it will make my grandmother sit on the crime of bullying the king; if the jade seal is false, I will have the crime of bullying the king; if I don't offer... then I will definitely die."
"Compapert the two, let's give it!" Qin Mubai said, "If you offer it skillfully, you should be fine."
"How to donate?" Li Ke hurriedly asked.
"First of all, be sure to find out the authenticity of this jade seal." Qin Mubai said, "There is only one way to clarify this matter."
Li Ke frowned and said, "Are you asking me to find Queen Xiao?"
"Yes." Qin Mubai nodded, "A secret that has been hidden for decades was suddenly discovered, and she must be shocked. But I guess she is mostly an insider. Returning the truth of history is not necessarily a great sin. Maybe in those years, she was also cheated?"
"It makes sense." Li Ke obviously heard an "important hint" from Qin Mubai's words. His eyes lit up and nodded and said, "As the saying goes, those who don't know are innocent. Maybe Queen Xiao has also been deceived for many years. I don't know whether the jade seal is true or false? If this jade seal is fake, it's better to say. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, everyone could forge the jade seal without permission, which may be one of them. In this way, you can also justify yourself.
"It's just... this palace is really difficult to explain." Qin Mubai looked around and muttered, "The ordinary grass bandits are against the king. Where did they have the strength to build such a huge underground palace? Moreover, this is not an ordinary mausoleum, but an underground palace that imitates the size of the real Jinluan Hall. I want to say that this is not a mausoleum at all, but an underground palace.
"Yes, if it is a mausoleum, there should be a jade coffin, but it is not here. There are only these many civil and military officials made by local puppets. Li Ke said as he walked around.
Qin Mubai stretched out his hand and touched the earth puppet's body. He couldn't help but be a little surprised and said, "It's strange that they are actually wearing real armor and official robes!"
"What?" Li Ke was also shocked. He came forward to take a closer look and said, "Sure enough! When I first came in, I felt that these dolls were too realistic. It turned out that they were wearing real armor and robes. Originally, I thought they were just plated with gold, so realistic!"
As he turned his head and spoke, he lost some weight in his hand. Li Ke pushed it, and a doll unexpectedly fell to the ground.
With a "bang", the doll fell to the ground and hit a loud noise, and the mud tire under the armor actually broke, revealing the white bones inside!
"Ah!" The two of them screamed together - "How could this happen!"
"Are these dolls cast in real corpses, and then put on armor or official robes, standing here as the Yin people guarding the treasure hall? Just like after the death of the eminent monk, he cast his body with a mud fetus to protect the relith?" Li Ke was surprised.
"It's possible!" Qin Mubai took a deep breath, and the scene in front of him was really out of his surprise. He bent down, opened the broken mud tires, and found a silver fish charm from Sensen's white bones. He picked it up and looked at it. There were also words on it - "From the captain of Wupin Fengche, Cao Wei"!
"It's true!" The two of them were shocked with one voice!
The fish charm, in the former Sui, is equivalent to the official's "ID card". From this fish charm, it shows that the person on the earth puppet is obviously Yang Guang's confidant, the lieutenant of Fengche, that is, the military attachent who served from the imperial chariot when Yang Guang was traveling by car!
"Is it true that these people... are also true?" Li Ke was surprised and wanted to reach out and push down another puppet.
"Forget it, Your Highness." Qin Mubai stopped him and said, "Even if they are from the former Sui, it is rare to be loyal to the Lord until death. Give their undead a little respect!"
"Uh-huh..." Li Ke gritted his teeth and nodded and said, "In this way, Zhao Chong's grandfather is likely to be one of them. These people may have come here with Zhao Chong's grandfather and became water bandits around Xiangzhou. Later, these people passed away one after another, and then cast the remains in the mud fetus according to their own agreement, and then put on their official robes and armor, turning them into puppets to continue to guard the palace. It is possible that Zhao Chong's grandfather did not tell these secrets to his descendants. But before he died, he left a secret about the palace and hoped that his children and grandchildren would also erect his remains here. It's a pity that the old man went quickly and returned to heaven before he could finish it, so he left those treasure maps and poems, which became a secret that had troubled Zhao Chong and his son for more than 20 years!"
"That's how it should be." Qin Mubai nodded and sighed, "They should be the loyal of the former Sui. Specifically, they are the loyal of Yang Guang, the last emperor of the former Sui."
"Mu Bai, do you think it is possible that after Emperor Yang was buried in Jiangdu, they secretly stole his corpses and transported the real corpses here to bury them again? Since they know the secret of leaving the palace, they are likely to do so!" Li Ke said, "Look at their death, they will also stand here loyally. I suspect that there may be the real remains of Emperor Yang here!"
Qin Mubai's eyes lit up: "Your Highness is wise!"
"Then let's look for it again? If you really find the real corpse of Emperor Yang, you may be able to tell whether the jade seal is true or false!"
"Good!"
The two searched in the palace for a long time again, and did not even let go of the darkest and most inconspicuous small corner. Unfortunately, they did not find any secret channels.
They looked at each other and shook their heads in disappointment. Both of them wanted to give up.
"Maybe we guessed wrong..."
Li Ke was a little tired. He leaned against a big jade pillar and said, "I have a place I can't figure out. After the war in Jiangdu, Xiao Hou was abhorrified by Yu Wenhua, and later returned to Dou Jiande. Later, he was received by Emperor Yang's sister's dental account that the Turks lived in Jinshan, and she had been exiled for decades. It is said that when she went to Mobei, she took the jade seal with her. Therefore, I doubted how she hid the jade seal without falling into the hands of Dou Jiande, Yu Wenhua and other ambitious people, and could keep the Turks flattened by the Tang Dynasty until she brought it back to the Central Plains and dedicated to my father?
"Yes!" Qin Mubai was also surprised and said, "Is it... Dou Jiande and Yu Wenhua, as well as the Turkic Khan and others, all know that the jade seal in her hand is fake, so they are not interested in taking it for themselves?"
"So say so! ..." Li Ke's eyes widened, "Is it true that... in my hand?"
"Wait, there is another possibility." Qin Mubai said, "That is, at first, there was no so-called jade seal in Queen Xiao's hand. It was only a few years ago that a jade seal appeared in her hand. Of course, it was fake! Otherwise, she is a weak woman who has experienced many different men and traveled thousands of miles around the world. How can she keep a jade seal in good condition? I guess that a piece of fake jade seal in Xiao Hou's hand may be someone in the hall who gave it to her when she was alive, or it was Zhao Chong's grandfather who gave it to her. The reason is that Queen Xiao knew the secret of Yuxi's whereabouts. In order to block her mouth to cover the underground palace, the people present did so. And the real jade seal has been placed in this underground palace, dedicated to the former Emperor Yang of Sui!"
"Seamless reasoning, it must be like this!" Li Ke gritted his teeth fiercely, "In this way, there is no doubt that Yang Guang's real remains are definitely in this underground palace!"
"Wait!" Qin Mubai suddenly lit up and said, "Your Highness, you just said that Queen Xiao went to the Turks. Where do you live?"
"The place where the Turkic tooth tent is located is in Jinshan, Yudu. What's wrong?" Li Ke was confused.
"No!" Qin Mubai was suddenly shocked and said, "Li Jing once led troops to the north to destroy the Turks, but in his military book, he called the mountain of the tooth tent - Xishan!"
"Xishanfeng! - Xishanfeng, Yujing Dragon, morning and evening, three lines of tears!" Li Ke was also surprised and said, "Does Xishanfeng refer to Queen Xiao? Then Yujinglong...doesn't it mean Yang Guang?
"That means... Yang Guang's remains are in Yujing?" Qin Mubai frowned heavily and walked towards the dragon chair.
"Yujing, does it mean this underground palace? What does it have to do with the dragon chair?" Li Ke also quickly followed up and asked.
"Yujing, Mii... Isn't Yujing the place where the dragon chair above the imperial throne of the Jinluan Hall is located?" Qin Mubai frowned heavily, moved his hands to the dragon chair, and said in a low voice, "I'm offended!"
With a few dark force, the pure gold dragon chair weighing more than hundreds of catties actually made a thumping sound, which was indeed rotated.
"Ah!--" Li Ke let out a scream!
Because at this moment, the sea dragon behind the dragon chair plays the blue and jade wall picture, separated from the middle to both sides, revealing a dark passage!
"It's really here!" Qin Mubai was also surprised.
"Go in and have a look!"
The two of them were shocked when they lit the torch and walked for two steps. There were four standing skeletons staring at them, and the skeleton was wearing armored "hands" holding long knives. These skeletons were supported by full armor that they did not fall to the ground.
"This is probably the four dead men who escorted the remains in. They have been standing here alive and have not fallen down." Qin Mubai said.
Li Ke just nodded and walked inward by bypassing the four skeletons. Qin Mubai quickly followed.
There is light in front of you. Turning a corner reveals a gorgeous "bedroom". The beautiful wall of the brocade carpet is extremely luxurious, but it is cold inside.
Seeing the scene in front of them, the two of them were stunned!
In a huge green jade**, covered with a gold bedspread, decorated with countless gorgeous and dazzling night pearls, from which the light comes from. Through the bedspread, it can be faintly seen that there is a "person" in a yellow dragon robe lying in jade **. The jade bed was cold, and the two of them couldn't help trembling after a long time.
"Mu Bai, you said..." Li Ke took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice, "** Is that man - my grandfather, Yang Guang?"
Qin Mubai frowned and shook his head slowly, and said lightly, "Even so, you don't know each other."
"But I have to take a look!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ke rushed to the jade bed, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, stretched out a hand, and slowly lifted the bedspread...
